The Historic Landmark
Commission (HLC) reviews all
applications for landmark sites, demolition
and new construction within
locally-designated historic districts.
They do not review
interior work or exterior paint
color, only exterior
alterations. The majority
of the projects presented
to the HLC are either
approved as submitted or
with modifications.

Historic Districts
|
A historic district is a geographic area with a concentration of older buildings and sites unified by development, events or design. In Salt Lake City, most of the historic districts are considered significant because of their association with the development of the city.
Historic districts can be listed on the National Register of Historic Places or locally designated. Individual buildings or sites can be listed on the National Register or listed locally on the Salt Lake City Register of Cultural Resources as "landmark sites". Both designations recognize and encourage the protection of historic properties, but they are very different.
