Dublin has a wealth of historic and architectural buildings. Historic Dublin, located along the Scioto River at SR 161, has a number of buildings that have received recognition on the federal government’s National Register of Historic Places. The Architectural Review Board (ARB) is responsible for the preservation and maintenance of the Architectural Review District and historic sites as landmarks and tangible reminders of early architecture in Dublin; and to prevent the deterioration of the Review District and historic sites.

The Architectural Review District includes Historic Dublin and other outlying historic properties that are specified within the Dublin Zoning Code.

The ARB consists of five citizen members appointed by City Council with an interest in historic preservation. Its primary activity is to review the exterior architectural and/or site modifications of designated historic properties and properties located within the Historic District. The ARB considers applications on its monthly meeting agenda and votes on the appropriateness of the proposed changes.

When Do I Need Approval from The ARB?

All Plans to construct, modify, alter, demolish or change any site in the Architectural Review District must be approved by the Architectural Review Board. This includes, but is not limited to, all exterior architectural changes, site modifications, signs, fencing and landscaping on non-residential properties. If you would like to know if you are located within the Architectural Review District or if approval from the ARB is required, please contact Land Use and Long Range Planning at 614-410-4600.
Before submitting an application, a pre-submittal meeting with a Planning staff member is highly recommended.

When and Where Are the Meetings?

ARB meetings are open to the public and are generally held on the fourth Wednesday of each month. All meetings convene at 7 p.m. at the Municipal Building Council Chambers located at 5200 Emerald Parkway, Dublin. Click here for the 2011 meeting schedule.

What Should I Expect at the ARB Meeting?

The Chairperson calls the meeting to order and tends to any administrative business, including determining the order of the cases on the agenda and approving previous meeting minutes. Each case is discussed individually and may include a presentation by the City. The applicant then has the opportunity to make a presentation to the Board, which may include any additional information that was not previously covered. At this point, the public has the opportunity to make comments about the case. Once all individuals have the opportunity to address the Board, the Board members discuss the case and take action on a case, which may include approval, approval with conditions, disapproval, or postponement.

What Happens If I Want to Address the Board?

Anyone wishing to address the ARB about a case should sign up on the list outside the chamber doors before the meeting. Names will be called in the order that they are submitted on the sign-in sheet. Anyone wanting to make comments will be asked to come to the podium and state their name and address. It helps if your comments are concise and directly related to the case. In the instances where multiple property owners would like to comment generally on the same issues, a designated spokesperson is encouraged.

How do I Obtain More Information About a Case Before the Meeting?

The City of Dublin uses a variety ways to inform residents about pending cases. Agendas for all meetings are published in both the Dublin Villager and the Dublin News, as well as posted on the City’s website. Specific information related to the case may also be found on the web site. Notices regarding the meeting are sent to the surrounding property owners located within a certain proximity to the property. The City also places notice signs on the property to inform the general public. The agenda and related information for pending cases are available outside the chamber doors before the meeting and during the week of the meeting through the Land Use and Long Range Planning Department. For additional information, or to speak to the planner assigned to the case, call Land Use and Long Range Planning at 614-410-4600.
