Historic District Design Guidelines: City of Columbia, Tennessee

From introduction: "Columbia is a vibrant, growing city focused on sound decision-making and proactive planning directed at coordinating the future of the community. Key to Columbia’s future is its unique sense of place—rooted in its diverse historic neighborhoods and business district—that captures the history of the community and continues to attract residents, business owners, and visitors alike. Thus, it is no surprise that the City has long placed an emphasis on balancing growth and development with a reverence for the past and a desire to preserve, enhance, and promote the authentic historic fabric of the community. The City’s commitment to historic preservation is complemented by the public’s recognition of the importance of maintaining harmony of past and present in sustaining the cultural heritage and identity of the community. This document supports such balance. Drafted with input from property and business owners, the Historic Zoning Commission (HZC), the Department of Development Services, and other interested parties, the guidelines herein establish a set of standards that reflect the community vision and provide a framework for historic preservation in Columbia’s historic districts." Project funding was provided in part by a 2017 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Columbia (project number TN-17-032) administered by the Tennessee Historical Commission (grant number P17AF00055) and the State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Columbia, Tennessee is a Certified Local Government.
