SURVEY

In preparation for the 2018 Heritage Preservation Plan Update, the City of Plano conducted citywide surveys of structures
built prior to 1960 and city blocks/subdivisions developed between 1960-1969. The surveys were intended to identify,
research, and review properties/structures that qualify as Potential Heritage Resources (PHR). Architectural characteristics
of the structures and significant site/landscape features were documented and photographed. Only exterior features
visible from the street or sidewalk were included. Potential Heritage Resources have been provided in Chapter 5. A list of
additional recommendations that resulted from the survey are listed below.

Goal: To maintain a thorough and accurate inventory of existing and potential heritage
resources in Plano.

Survey Policy Statement:
Potential Heritage Resources are important cultural and historical resources
that should be encouraged for designation.
