Commission to host NAPC training, plans multi‑session review of design guidelines
Summary
Staff will organize two virtual training sessions with the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC) during regular HPC meetings; commissioners also discussed staging a broader audit and multi‑session update of the city's design guidelines.
Staff told commissioners the commission has a training fund and has been working with the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC) to provide tailored training during regularly scheduled HPC meetings. "We've landed on 4 topics and that would basically be over a 2‑session period," staff said, proposing virtual sessions so commissioners can attend from the regular meeting venue.
Commissioners discussed timing (initial proposals fell near Memorial Day and July 4) and suggested alternative dates (June 11 and July 9) that would avoid holiday conflicts. Several commissioners supported an audit-style review of the design guidelines separate from the training to determine feasibility and scope, and staff said they would draft a plan and bring it back for commission discussion.
Staff said the training could cover the maintenance manual, waterproofing, insulation and roof/wall assemblies and that some portions would be work‑session style to review specific guidelines and priorities; commissioners asked staff to circulate proposed topics and a tentative schedule.
