Covington's historic districts and diagram showing how the document is used within the local legislative system.
While working for the Covington Planning and Development office I authored a 90 page manual detailing the history of Covington and guidelines regulating rehabilitations, landscaping, additions, and new construction in the designated historic districts.
The guidelines encourage architects, developers, or individuals contemplating restoration, remodeling, or new construction to maintain the architectural heritage of the structure and the districts. In order to maintain Covington’s historic small-town feel, it is critical that the city preserve its historic built environment and unique character. These design guidelines are intended to assist the Historic Preservation Commission and property owners during the review process of properties within these local districts. These guidelines ensure that any alterations and new developments will be compatible with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
