Historic Preservation Commission Demolition Review Comment Form

Historic preservation is vital to maintaining the character, heritage, and cultural identity of our communities. When a property with potential historical significance faces demolition, public input plays a critical role in the review process.

This Historic Preservation Commission Demolition Review Comment Form provides residents, historians, preservation advocates, and community stakeholders with a structured way to submit thoughtful, detailed comments on proposed demolition projects. Whether you're concerned about losing an architecturally significant building, a site tied to local history, or a structure that contributes to neighborhood character, this form ensures your voice is heard.

Built with Paperform, this template makes it easy for preservation commissions and municipal planning departments to collect, organize, and review public feedback efficiently. All submissions are captured in one place, with automatic notifications and the ability to export comments for official records or public hearings.

The form guides commenters through providing essential details—property address, historical context, reasons for preservation, and alternative proposals—while allowing space for personal testimony and supporting documentation like historical photos or research materials.

For commissions managing multiple review cases, Paperform's conditional logic can route submissions to the appropriate hearing date or review officer. You can also use Stepper to automate follow-up workflows, such as acknowledging receipt of comments, compiling submissions for commissioners, or notifying commenters of hearing dates and decisions.

This template is ideal for historic preservation commissions, planning and zoning boards, municipal clerks, heritage societies, and neighborhood associations across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and other jurisdictions with historic preservation processes.
