The guidelines are to ensure the preservation of historic resources within the district and ensure that any new development is sympathetic to the historical design characteristics of Paris' commercial core. Proposed Scope of Services: The proposed scope of services covers the work necessary to complete the design guidelines. This proposal assumes that ARCHITEXAS will perform all of the work outlined. Opportunities for community input and participation will be explored and outlined at the PHPC's request. Task 1- Preservation Guidelines Development Outline ARCHITEXAS will meet with the PHPC to discuss the goals of the Preservation Guidelines.Plan and determine the areas to be covered in the plan. Such areas might include, but are not limited to, city historic districts, city conservation districts, and commercial design and development guidelines. These discussions will be utilized in the active development of an outline for the Preservation Guidelines. The outline will then be distributed to all PHPC board members for review and comment. Task 2- Paris, Texas, Historic Preservation Guidelines Based on the goals outlined in Tasks 1 and 2, the Paris, Texas Historic Preservation Guidelines will be drafted. The written draft will include city preservation standards developed according to the goals of the PHPC and, where appropriate, will include illustrations and examples of those standards. The guidelines will be developed in accordance with the City of Paris' enabling legislation regarding historic resources. The draft will be distributed to the members of the PHPC for review, comment and revision prior to completion of the final draft. The final draft of the Paris, Texas Historic Preservation Guidelines will be competed and a predetermined number of copies distributed to the PHPC.
