Tempe Preservation assists owners in the preservation
and restoration of their properties. Historic Preservation provides
protection for significant properties and archeological sites which
represent important aspects of Tempe's
heritage and enhances the character of the community by taking such
properties and sites into account during development. Reasonable
and fair regulations are included in the Tempe Historic Preservation
Ordinance as a means of balancing the rights of property owners and the
value to the community of these significant properties and sites.
It is the intent of the city to make ownership of a landmark, historic
property or property within an historic district as beneficial as
possible. In addition to the intangible benefits of owning a property
recognized as an important community resource, staff and commission can
assist:
·
with review of
alteration or new construction;
·
with technical information and
referrals;
·
with locating sources of financial
assistance and tax credits;
·
with preparing grant applications and
potential third party sponsorship;
·
with locating buyers or sellers;
·
with obtaining other benefits as may become available
(Ord. No. 95.35, 11-9-95).
