Brittany Gillia, Historic Preservation Officer
Background and Analysis:
The subject property is a vacant lot located in the South Capitol Historic District which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The applicant has applied for building permits (26-0757 and 26-0991) to develop a new two-story home with an attached ADU and carport.
As per OMC 18.105.030 Structures Within a Historic District, design criteria contained in the chapter apply to new structures within a historic district. New structures within a historic district must preserve the historic context and merit of the district.
Climate Analysis:
Following the NPS guidelines encourages repair of historic material as much as possible, which reduces the introduction of more waste to landfills. If repair is not feasible, use of historic, often natural, locally sourced materials, is then encouraged, which reduces environmental impacts of the work.
Equity Analysis:
The Olympia Heritage Commission is dedicated to improving the education and outreach opportunities to underrepresented communities. Every listing to the Olympia Heritage Register, Special Property Tax Valuation application, and design review project, is an opportunity for education and outreach.
