On February 22, 2022, the Cultural Heritage Commission held a study session to consider a potential policy update to allow substitutes for historic material requirements for windows and siding. The Planning Bureau has heard the concerns brought forth by residents and would like to consider changes to these standards, due to multiple factors, such as: increases in material prices, supply chain impacts such as the lumber shortage, maintenance challenges and environmental impacts.
