Summary

Greeley's historic preservation ordinance covers more than buildings, 'objects' reflecting the city's cultural or artistic heritage, like monuments, can be nominated for landmark protection through the same commission process.

Designate, preserve, protect, enhance and perpetuate sites, structures, objects and districts which reflect outstanding elements of the city's cultural, artistic, social, ethnic, economic, political, architectural, historic, technological, institutional or other heritage.

Full Breakdown

Greeley's historic preservation ordinance, Sec. 24-1003 of the Development Code, defines what can be designated a local landmark broadly: its stated intent covers 'sites, structures, objects and districts' that reflect the city's cultural, artistic, historic, or architectural heritage, language that reaches monuments and other cultural objects, not just buildings. An owner (or, for non-owner nominations, groups like the planning commission or a recognized preservation organization) submits a nomination to the Historic Preservation Commission, which votes on designation; once designated, later alterations or removal require the commission's certificate of approval.

Violations & Fines

Altering, moving, or demolishing a designated cultural object or monument without the Historic Preservation Commission's certificate of approval is a Code infraction handled under Title 1, Chapter 10.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Greeley protect monuments and cultural objects, not just buildings?
Yes. Sec. 24-1003's intent language extends landmark protection to 'objects' reflecting the city's cultural, artistic, or historic heritage, alongside buildings, sites, and districts, through the same commission designation process.
Who decides if something becomes a designated Greeley landmark?
The Historic Preservation Commission reviews nominations and votes on designation by a two-thirds majority; non-owner nominations for individual properties also go to city council for final action.
