Historic Review Board

The purpose of the HRB is to carry out the City's historic resources program. The HRB reviews public improvements; reviews private and commercial buildings for historic compatibility; recommends ordinances and resolutions to the City Commission; and considers landmark designations, demolitions, and archeological site designations. Ordinance No. 1954 created the HRB on May 7, 1980 and was amended on November 6, 1985 by Ordinance No. 85-1017 and OCMC 2.28. The board is comprised of five members - one representative each from: Canemah neighborhood; McLoughlin neighborhood; at-large; architect experienced in historic preservation; and a member of the Oregon City Chamber of Commerce who must also be an Oregon City resident. Length of term is three years and it expires in June. The Mayor appoints each member.
