Haggard Park Heritage District Design Standards

From the "About this Document" section: "Haggard Park Heritage District was one of Plano’s first residential neighborhoods, with houses built as early as 1885. Designated in 2000, it was the City of Plano’s first locally designated heritage (historic) district. The purpose of the Haggard Park Heritage District Design Standards is to preserve the character and integrity of the neighborhood through application of appropriate standards and techniques for properly constructing exterior renovations or new construction of buildings in the district. Although the design standards are created to preserve history, they also recognize that change is inevitable. They are written to enable and empower property owners to acknowledge and maintain the integrity of historic buildings and comply with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Consequently, the Haggard Park Heritage District Design Standards address rehabilitation, maintenance and additions to historic buildings, along with construction of new buildings. It is important to note that heritage histrict [sic] designation does not mandate property owners to make changes to their properties, such as returning buildings to their historic appearance. Additionally, the historic review process (i.e., Certificates of Appropriateness) that results from heritage district designation is limited to projects that affect the exterior of the building and its site. Interior remodeling projects that do not affect the exterior of the building do not require Heritage Preservation Officer or Heritage Commission review and approval." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Texas Historical Commission, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P20AF00051).
