Mission Statement
To promote a high level of integrity and aesthetic value for the
built environment, preserving and improving the character of
Chico by balancing the rights of property owners with the public
good.
In addition to its authority established by Chapter 19.18 of the
Chico Municipal Code for the review of architectural drawings
prior to the issuance of certain building permits, the
Architectural Review and Historic Preservation Board (ARHPB)
reviews building proposals that may affect buildings or other
resources listed on the City of Chico Historic Resources
Inventory, including making recommendations to the City Council
for new listings. The ARHPB consists of five regular members,
three of whom are engaged in the visual arts field, such as
architects, landscape architects, artists, and/or designers, and
at least two of whom have professional experience in
architectural history, planning, archaeology, or other historic
preservation-related disciplines.
The Architectural Review and Historic Preservation Board
currently meets on the first and third Wednesday of each
month at 4:00 p.m. Due to protocols established for COVID 19
community response, the meetings are held via an online
format. Click on the 2020 Agendas link below for the
virtual meeting information and how to participate.
Agendas are posted to the web the previous Friday, five days
before each meeting. If needed, the Board may also schedule an
adjourned regular meeting on the third Wednesday of the month and
the agenda would be posted the Friday prior to the meeting.
Special meetings (such as workshops and site visits) can occur on
an as-needed basis. Agendas for these special meetings will be
posted to the web a minimum of 72 hours prior to each meeting.
