When a homeowner, whose home is within a historic overlay district, performs substantial alterations or makes any changes to the outside appearance of the home, they must first apply to the Architectural Review Board for a Certificate of Appropriateness. Virginia law requires any locality with one or more historic district to designate a review board which reviews and issues a Certificate of Appropriateness for structural alteration and/or demolition within the historic district(s). The ARB serves as a review board for the Buckland Historic Overlay District, which is the only historic overlay district currently within the County. A majority of ARB members must have professional experience in one of the following fields: architecture, archaeology, history, or planning. In addition, ARB members are required to attend State approved training on a yearly basis. The ARB usually meets, when there is an agenda, on the second Wednesday of the month. Meetings begin at 7 p.m. and are generally held in the Development Services Building, 5 County Complex Court, Prince William, VA 22192. The meetings are open to the public. The next Architectural Review Board meeting is on Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2009, at 7 p.m. in conference room 107A of the Development Services Building.
