5. Architectural Elements and Materials

Historic Preservation Board · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

The City of DeLand Historic Preservation Board is reviewing draft overlay zoning regulations for the downtown core. These proposed regulations focus on architectural elements and materials for new construction or renovations. They specify that details like cornices, moldings, awnings, parapets, columns, colonnades, arcades, and arches should be similar to historical downtown styles. The rules also address window design, exterior materials, and the use of simulated windows. This item is currently under review. The project would involve work related to building design and material selection, potentially including site preparation, facade work, and interior finishes, depending on future development. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers specializing in historic building materials, architectural design, and construction trades could find opportunities by engaging early in the review process before specific projects are finalized.
