City of Staunton Historic Preservation Commission meeting of June 23, 2026

The City of Staunton Historic Preservation Commission held a meeting on June 23, 2026, focusing primarily on reviewing and approving certificates of appropriateness for various property modifications within the historic district. Key procurement-related discussions included approval for replacing a porch roof at 212 North Market Street with a traditionally detailed standing seam metal roof, and chimney repair and solar panel installation at 221 East Beverly Street, which was tabled pending further information on solar panel placement. The commission also addressed a variance request for stucco replacement at 29 East Beverly Street, ultimately denying the variance to allow the existing non-compliant material to remain and requiring traditional stucco restoration or an approved alternative. Additionally, a certificate of appropriateness extension was granted for 1 year at 113 West Beverly Street for storefront modifications including window relocation and installation of a roll-up door. Motions were passed unanimously on these procurement and construction-related items, with emphasis on maintaining historic preservation standards while accommodating necessary repairs and improvements.
