              HERITAGE PRESERVATION IS INTEGRATED INTO PLANNING EFFORTS.

             Many departments and organizations in the community recognize the value of historic properties and employ
             strategies that support heritage preservation as they seek to achieve their individual goals.

              THE CITY’S HERITAGE PRESERVATION PROGRAM IS READILY ACCESSIBLE.

             Program components are easy to understand and user-friendly, allowing anyone to participate in the system at a
             variety of levels. They can engage in researching and nominating resources for designation and can easily comment
             on city preservation activities.

              THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION PROGRAM PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR THE
              TREATMENT OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES.
             Heritage resources are identified and described in a manner that helps people understand their significance and
             interpret their association with the community. Properties are then listed, or designated, as appropriate in a manner
             that helps facilitate informed management of the properties. A set of tools is then applied - including regulations,
             design standards, incentives, and benefits – which are coordinated with this evaluation and designation system.

             HERITAGE RESOURCES ARE KEY TO THE CITY’S SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES.


             Preserving heritage resources is a fundamental part of a comprehensive approach to sustainability. Keeping historic
             properties in active use conserves the energy embodied in their creation. Historic buildings can also operate in
             energy conserving ways, and compatible retrofits for energy conservation are encouraged.

              PLANO’S CITIZENS UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF AND CELEBRATE THE
              COMMUNITY’S HISTORY AND HERITAGE RESOURCES.

             Outreach and educational efforts bring awareness of Plano’s heritage resources to citizens throughout the community,
             especially those who do not regularly encounter Plano’s downtown concentration of heritage resources. These
             efforts will place special attention on attracting new demographics, such as millenials and young families.
