Canton City Invites Local Residents to Discuss Proposed Expansion of Historic District and New Residential Design Guidelines

Canton City has suggested expanding the Historic District boundaries and implementing residential design guidelines. Current properties within the boundary won't undergo Historic Review. However, if the guidelines are implemented, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) will review any future external modifications. This applies to all properties within the suggested expanded boundary.

The city has made available draft residential design guidelines and a map of the current and suggested expanded Historic District. These documents offer a comprehensive view of the potential changes.

Key dates for the expansion and guideline implementation have been set. An Open House and a Historic Preservation Commission Meeting are planned for March 4. A Public Hearing at a City Council Meeting will follow on April 4, with a discussion and potential action at a City Council Meeting on April 18.

All meetings will be held in the City Hall Auditorium at 110 Academy Street. The city invites residents to these meetings to learn more about the potential changes.

Residents with comments or questions about the expansion and guidelines can email planning.zoning@cantonga.gov or kevin.turner@cantonga.gov for additional information.
