The City of Las Vegas (City) applied for and was approved in 1998 to become a Certified Local Government, which established a Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). The HPC was founded to
preserve the historical and cultural elements of the City to enhance community life and development to give a sense of identity and orientation to the people of the City.

The principal role of the HPC is to act in an advisory capacity to the Planning Commission and the City Council in matters concerning historic preservation. The HPC makes recommendations
to the Planning Commission regarding the designation of historic landmarks, districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects. Other actions of the HPC are final but can be appealed to the City Council as described in Unified Development Code Title 19.

The City has 33 designed historic resources, which include five designated historic districts: Berkeley Square, Beverly Green, John S. Park, Las Vegas High School Neighborhood, and Lorenzi Park. John
S. Park was the city’s second historic district; listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the City of Las Vegas Historic Property Register in 2003. The Beverly Green Historic District was
listed in the City of Las Vegas Historic Property Register in 2016. These districts are each distinct and unique but are united in representing twentieth-century historic residential architecture and the development of the City. The design guidelines contained herein apply to all properties located within the boundaries of the Beverly Green and John S. Park Historic Districts. See maps (Section 1.3) for more information.

The design guidelines do not supersede code requirements as specified in the City of Las Vegas
Unified Development Code Title 19.
