Staff Contact: Collette Kinane, Senior Preservation Planner

Demolition by Neglect and Housing Code Enforcement Case: 524 Euclid Street

Staff Contact: Collette Kinane, Senior Preservation Planner

524 Euclid Street is a contributing property in the Oakwood Historic Overlay District. The house was first brought to RHDC January 14, 2026 as a potential Demolition by Neglect Case. At the February 11, 2026 meeting the Commission voted to defer the matter to the August 2026 agenda due to the ongoing housing code enforcement case.

Staff from the Housing and Community Development Department will be present to discuss to this property and what the plan is moving forward.

Historic Design Standards Update Kick-off

Staff Contact: Tania Tully, Preservation Planning Supervisor

Historic Design Standards are required by state law for the City to enforce the Historic Overlay District (HOD) and Raleigh Historic Landmark regulations and process Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) applications. The Historic Design Standards Update: Revisiting the Historic Design Standards project has entered the initial community engagement phase.

The updated Design Standards will amend the Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts and Landmarks to improve usability, add specificity about the character defining elements of each HOD, add design standards tailored to reflect the special character of each HOD, and enhance design standards related to non-character defining elements. The result of the project will be nine sets of Design Standards – one for each of the eight HODs and one for Raleigh Historic Landmarks.

The Lakota Group will make a presentation on the project as part of Community Engagement Week.
