UPTOWN REVIEW BOARD

The Uptown Review Board (URB) is a seven-member board, the responsibility of which is to protect and promote the historic character of the Uptown District. To this end, the Board is responsible for reviewing changes including new construction, building additions, façade renovations and changes to exterior materials, window and door replacements, signage, awnings, paint color changes, building demolition, and landscaping elements (e.g. fences, walls, walkways, etc.). Some minor changes may be approved administratively (contact the Zoning Officer to learn more). The Board meets on the first Thursday of each month at 21 S. State Street in City Council Chambers.
