At its June meeting the Punta Gorda Historic Preservation Advisory Board reviewed and recommended approval of multiple certificates of appropriateness covering exterior repairs, window and door replacements, a metal roof replacement and new signage at properties listed on the Punta Gorda local register of historic places.

Urban design staff presented each application, citing that proposed materials and designs were consistent with the character of the respective buildings and met the standards of review required under Section 16.3(b) of the Punta Gorda code. Items approved or recommended to the zoning official included:

- Replacement or repair of windows and doors at properties including 124 MacGregor Street (1914, frame foursquare), 457 West Virginia Avenue (1945, frame vernacular), 512 East Marion Avenue (c.1925, craftsman), 409 West Ann Street (1955 ranch) and 410 West Grace Street (1955 ranch).
- Replacement of an existing metal roof like‑for‑like at 221 Durrance Street (1925 frame vernacular).
- New signage for a commercial building at 314 Tamiami Trail (1960 mid‑century modern) consistent with character guidelines.
- Minor exterior and landscaping updates and removal of two non‑structural wall pilings at 301 West Marion Avenue (formerly a 1926 gas station converted to office use).
- A single front door replacement at 515 Palm Avenue (1954 ranch).

Board members asked a handful of clarification questions during presentations — for example to confirm when an agenda line item listed “door” but the application covered only windows — and then voted on motions to approve each certificate. Staff noted that each application included the required materials and met the standards of review, and the board’s motions were carried for the listed items.

These approvals are recommendations to the zoning official; the zoning official will issue final certificates of appropriateness and any permit conditions.
