The Cleveland Landmarks Commission is responsible for determining whether buildings, sites or historic districts are eligible for designation as landmarks. Cleveland City Council approves the designations.

The commission follows established criteria listed in the Landmarks Ordinance and uses the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation to review proposed changes.

Through the issuance of Certificates of Appropriateness the commission reviews building and demolition permits for Designated Cleveland Landmarks and Districts.

The commission also offers feedback on concept plans, but it does not formally approve or disapprove them at that stage.

Local Design Review Committees act as advisory committees to the Landmarks Commission within designated historic districts.

NOTE: This meeting could run as long as 3 hours, and because the commission has been holding hybrid meetings – with some people at City Hall and others joining via WebEx – you may have a better time hearing and viewing all meeting participants in person.

Commission members:

Michele Anderson
Mark Duluk
Chris Loeser
Joyce Pan Huang, Director of City Planning
Allan Dreyer
Robert S. Strickland, Vice Chair
Raymond Tarasuck, Jr.
Julie Trott, Chair
Deborah A. Gray, Ward 4 Council Member
Michael Sanbury
Regennia Williams
