DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

Created in July 1973 by joint action of the Charlotte City Council and the Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) derives all of its powers from State Enabling Legislation. The fundamental purpose of the Commission is to recommend the designation of properties (real and personal) for historic landmark designation and to secure the preservation of same through exercising design review and by acquiring and selling fee simple or lesser included interests in endangered historic landmarks.

The HLC is an agency of Mecklenburg County. The HLC has 12 members with five key committees: Executive, Survey, Design Review, Projects, and Nominating. The Board of County Commissioners appoints 6 members, the Charlotte City Council appoints 4 members, and the Mayor of Charlotte appoints 2 members. All members are appointed for 3-year terms and are eligible for reappointment for an additional 3-year term.

The Historic Landmarks Commission protects properties in four fundamental ways.

• It recommends the designation of individually significant properties as historic landmarks.

• It buys and sells fee simple or lesser included interests in endangered historic landmarks through its revolving

fund (currently containing funds in excess of $2.5 million) and places preservation covenants in the deeds

when the properties are sold.
