Ordinance, as amended, and Ordinance No. 1710 as amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Paris, Texas:
The following Standards for Rehabilitation shall apply to rehabilitation of the
exterior only of all structures located in the designated Historic Overlay District No.
14 (HD-14), and shall apply to a building's site and environment as well as attached,
adjacent, or related new construction.
The Paris Historic Preservation Commission shall implement and apply these
standards in accordance with the provisions of Article VII to Chapter 7, Section 7-
151 through 7-164 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Paris, as amended, the
Historic Preservation Ordinance, including the denial or issuance of Certificates of
Appropriateness as provided in said ordinance. The Standards are to be applied to
specific rehabilitation projects in a reasonable manner, taking into consideration
economic and technical feasibility:
(1 ) Any rehabilitation of the exterior of any structure located in the designated
Historic Overlay District No. 14 (HD-14) shall be done in a manner that requires
minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and
environment.
(2) The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The
removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a
property shall be avoided.
(3) Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and
use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding
conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be
undertaken.
(4) Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic
significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved.
(5) Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved.
(6) Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the
severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature
shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where
possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by
documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.
(7) Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to
historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate,
shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible.
(8) Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and
preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be
undertaken.
(9) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy
historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated
from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural
features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.
(10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in
such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the
historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
Section 5. That any person violating any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be guilty
of a Misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, shall be fined in any sum not to exceed $2,000.00, and each
and every day's continuance of any violation of the above-enumerated sections shall constitute and
be deemed a separate offense.
Section 6. That all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby
expressly repealed.
Section 7. That this ordinance shall become effective January 1,2006.
