LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Board of Architectural Review is scheduled to hold a public hearing on August 19 to review applications for exterior changes to properties located in local historic districts, according to the meeting agenda.
Property owners within Lexington’s 15 historic districts must obtain approval to make changes to the exterior of buildings and sites through the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) permit process. While city staff can issue COAs for minor changes, substantial changes must be reviewed and approved by the Board of Architectural Review.
The August agenda includes 20 staff-approval items spanning seven historic districts, including roof replacements, fence work, renovations, and tree removal across properties in the Ashland Park, Aylesford, Bell Court, Constitution, Mulberry Hill, Northside, and Pensacola Park districts. The Aylesford Historic District accounts for the largest number of staff-approval items on the agenda.
Beyond routine maintenance projects, the board is scheduled to review 10 Certificate of Appropriateness applications requiring fuller board consideration. These include more substantial work such as structure demolition and reconstruction in the Aylesford Historic District following fire loss, a new single-family structure construction in Northside, and a significant addition at 533 East Main Street in Bell Court that would include a new Parrish Hall, kitchen, connector, and associated site work with ADA improvements.
Additional applications on the agenda involve retaining wall construction and walkway reconstruction in Fayette Park, parking and fence work in Northside, and opening modifications in the South Hill Historic District. One conceptual review item is also scheduled: a proposed addition and garage addition at 242 South Hanover Avenue in Ashland Park.
The BOAR meets twice a month, with staff available daily to provide technical assistance. Lexington has had local historic districts since the mid-1950s, with fifteen districts and two landmarks currently designated and under the jurisdiction of the Board of Architectural Review.
