7. Preferred Historic Architectural Styles

Historic Preservation Board · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

The City of DeLand's Historic Preservation Board is reviewing proposed changes to its Downtown Overlay and Historic Design District regulations. The proposed changes would establish preferred historic architectural styles for new construction or renovations within these areas. These styles include Classical Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Colonial Revival, Craftsman Bungalow, and Commercial Style (Chicago School). This item is currently under review. The proposed regulations could influence future building and renovation projects, potentially requiring specific materials and design elements. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers involved in construction, renovation, and design services may find opportunities as these regulations are finalized and implemented. Engaging with the city early in this review process could provide insight into upcoming project needs and requirements.
