The City recognizes that the maintenance and preservation of historic landmarks and historic districts benefits all people in Spokane, and provides a general benefit to the public by preserving our City’s history and unique culture.
-
By creating standards for the designation and protection of historic landmarks and historic districts, the City intends to recognize, protect, enhance and preserve those buildings, districts, objects, sites and structures which serve as visible reminders of the historical, archaeological, architectural, educational and cultural heritage of the City and County as a public necessity. The intent of this ordinance is to keep qualifying historic buildings in use through their listing on the Spokane Register of Historic Places; incentivize rehabilitation; review changes to historic properties; and promote preservation in all neighborhoods, in balance with property rights protections under Washington law.
