Historic Districts
In Norfolk, local historic and cultural conservation districts
are:
- intended to protect and conserve areas of the city and individual
structures, premises and sites having special historic or cultural
significance;
- encourage new development and redevelopment that is consistent
with the character of existing development in these areas;
- prevent destruction of historic structures and encroachment
by uses, structures and site development features that are incompatible
with the unique appearance and historic and cultural significance
of these areas;
- help implement the historic policies in the General Plan of
Norfolk.
If you are curious about all the details that make homes in our neighborhood so special, check out the Pattern Book for Norfolk Neighborhoods. The 72-page book published by the Norfolk Department of Planning and Community Development gives a visual sense of the unique styles that make Norfolk's older neighborhoods special. The book is available at the Neighborhood Design and Resource Center at 111 Granby Street (757-664-6770) or online .
