The Guidelines have been derived from the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treat- ment of Historic Properties and are specifi cally crafted to meet the needs of the City of Manitou Springs, Colorado. The Guidelines require reasonable application. Their purpose in the design approval process is to maintain and protect: • The historic integrity of individual structures and historic features in the District • The unique architectural character of the different sub-districts • The distinctiveness of the city as a whole The Guidelines provide a tool for property owners and the Commission to use in determining whether a proposal is appropriate to the long-term interests of the District. The parameters set forth in the Guidelines also support opportunities for design creativity and individual choice. Our application of the Guidelines encourages a balance between function and preservation, accommodating the needs of property
