Historic Preservation Ordinance - Sun Village African American Historic Resources Survey project
On June 30, 2021, The Department of Regional Planning (DRP) completed a survey of historic resources associated with the African American community in Sun Village. This project supports the County’s multi-faceted efforts to form a more equitable society by identifying valuable cultural, historic and social contributions of the County’s diverse communities.
This survey:
- Identifies historic resources associated with African Americans in the community which could be potentially preserved through the County’s Historic Preservation Ordinance;
- Brings awareness to African American history and African American historical contributions in Sun Village;
- Informs policy for applicable land use regulations and community planning projects;
- Contributes information for a potential Countywide African American historical context statement and survey;
- Informs an effort to establish a Sun Village Community Standards District boundary.
