Public Participation

The Historic Preservation Board meetings operate on a hybrid system. Public participation is available using either blue comment cards found in the City Council chambers or by submitting an online comment card and participating through Zoom.

We believe that providing access for citizens to communicate with the board is vital for a strong representative local government.

Watch the live meeting via a video conferencing platform at https://mesa11.zoom.us/j/82508085605 or listen by calling 888-788-0099 or 877-853-5247 (toll free) using meeting ID 825 0808 5605.

Members of the public can address the Historic Preservation Board in the following ways:

• Attend a meeting in person. Participants may complete a blue comment upon arrival at the meeting, or download a copy of comment card(PDF, 48KB) and hand in at the meeting.

• Submit an online comment card at least 1 hour prior to the start of the meeting. If you want to speak at the meeting, you will need to indicate on the comment card that you would like to speak during the meeting, and you will need to call 888-788-0099 or 877-853-5247 (toll free) using meeting ID 825 0808 5605 and following the prompts, prior to the start of the meeting. You will be able to listen to the meeting; and when the item you have indicated that you want to speak on is before the board, your line will be taken off mute and you will be given an opportunity to speak.

For any difficulty accessing this meeting, please call 480-644-2099.

Board Members

The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) is composed of seven members who volunteer their services. Members of the Board have expertise in areas of architecture, history, architectural history, planning, landscape architecture, archaeology, cultural geography or anthropology, or have demonstrated strong interest in past matters that involve historic preservation issues.  

The HPB is responsible for hearing citizen comments and making recommendations on historic preservation zoning overlays for Historic Districts and Historic Landmarks (including archeological sites), as well as requests for demolition, new development within established historic districts, hear and decide appeals regarding proposed development, renovation, alterations, or additions to buildings or structures designated as historic. The HPB establishes and maintains the Mesa Historic Property Register and conducts studies for assessing the potential of buildings, structures, or areas for designation as historic sites or districts. The HPB also makes recommendations to the City Council regarding public policy development for the preservation of historic resources through Mesa.
