HISTORIC DISTRICTS REVIEW BOARD HEARING 08-28-26

The Historic Districts Review Board of Santa Fe convened on August 28, 2026, to review multiple cases involving historic preservation and construction within designated districts. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of construction projects at 1062 Camino Sanasio, where motions passed to approve a main residence and an accessory dwelling unit with certain design exceptions, including the use of metal elements and trellises. Another significant agenda item was the approval of a roofing replacement at 610 Don Gaspar Avenue, where the board approved the use of a metal shingle roofing system with conditions to maintain historic character, including copper gutters. The board also reviewed window replacements and facade alterations at 216 Mayor Street, approving some changes while denying others based on historic preservation criteria. Throughout the meeting, the board discussed design standards, exception criteria, and the importance of maintaining historic district integrity, with motions passed to approve or deny projects accordingly. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, but the meeting focused heavily on design approvals that could impact future procurement and construction activities within the historic districts.
