Heritage Landmarks
The Edina Heritage Landmark designation is an overlay zoning
classification that is provided for in the City’s Zoning Ordinance
850.20. The purpose of this zoning classification is to promote the
preservation, protection and use of significant heritage resources in the
City. Heritage Landmarks are nominated by the Heritage Preservation Board
and designated by Council resolution.
The criteria guiding the Heritage Preservation Board and City Council in
evaluating potential landmark designations requires that the quality of
significance in history, architecture, archeology and culture present in
buildings, sites, structures, objects and districts reflects:
1. An association with important events or patterns of events that
reflect significant broad patterns in local history; or
2. An association with the lives of historically significant persons or
groups; or
3. An embodiment of the distinctive characteristics of an architectural
style, design, period, type or method of construction; or that possess
high artistic values, or that represent a significant and
distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction;
or
4. Important archeological data or the potential to yield important
archeological data.
As part of the designation process, a
plan of treatment, precise to each heritage resource is created to
provide guidelines for design review as well as specific recommendations for
preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and reconstruction as
appropriate. Each plan of treatment will provide for guidance regarding
when a
certificate of appropriateness is required from the Heritage
Preservation Board.
Consideration is also made to the retention of specific aspects of
historical integrity, including location, design, setting, materials,
workmanship, feeling, and association, that convey significance as a
heritage resource worthy of preservation.
