The Profiles in Preservation program will continue for any  homeowner whose home meets the historical criteria and who wants to subscribe to have the history of their home completed.

The Project in a Nutshell

Led by the Garden District Board of Directors, and in collaboration with a team of architectural historians and other experts, the program’s purpose is to showcase the Garden District’s important homes and buildings and provide accurate information for the general public. In consideration for subscription fees, participating homeowners will receive an authentic history of their homes, a beautiful bronze plaque, telling the brief history of the home, a presentation book complete with the homes’ history, professional photographs of the exteriors, interiors and gardens, and a two-page spread in a beautifully executed coffee-table style book. This book will include the first 100 homes subscribed to the program.

All homes selected for this project must first meet the criteria set forth by the Historic District Landmarks Commission as a significant or contributing structure without altering its significance through exterior renovations.

SORRY, SOLD OUT FOR 2025

We invite you to join our membership, if you have not already done so, and join us at this festive gathering.

Request by City Council Motion M-19-6 for the City Planning Commission to conduct a public hearing and study on possibility of special programs or conditions that would allow for the issuance of two or more Residential Short Term Rental licenses to a single license holder to incentivize economic development in certain areas of the city, without imposing secondary effects relative to its residential fabric. The CPC will consider and recommend provisions including but not limited to:

• The creation of an Economic Development Incentive STR Zone, possibly to be created as an overlay zoning district;
• The size of any such zone;
• The cap on the total number of Residential STR licenses within any such zone;
• The cap on the number of Residential STR licenses per owner within any such zone; and
• The possibility of a “grandfather” provision to allow any existing or prior Temporary or Commercial license holders whose license lapsed during the Short Term Rental Interim Zoning District effectiveness to regain one or more licenses for use in the Economic Development Incentive STR Zone.

Another hearing to cover additional STR issues will be held on March 12.
