Policy & Design Guidelines
Replacement Roofing
One of the most important aspects of building maintenance is ensuring that a structure has a sound roof. At the
same time, the style and materials used on roofs can be one of the most basic elements in defining the style and
character of a building. The policy statements below are designed to encourage owners to maintain roofs in
their original styles and materials, while accommodating changes when warranted and when the change would
not alter the overall style of a structure.
1.
2.
3.
A Certificate of Appropriateness is not required for re-roofing with in-kind materials.
If a change in materials is desired, Staff will use its discretion to determine whether a Staff approval is
possible.
Specialty roofing materials such as slate, tile, or metal shingles are an integral part of a building’s
character, and a change to other materials could have an adverse effect on the property’s integrity.
Staff Analysis
Staff recommends approval based on prior approval from the Historic Landmarks Commission. The replacement
shingle achieves a similar look to slate meeting the guidelines for Materials and Rhythm.
