If you are thinking about developing or redeveloping property in the North Seventh Street Historic Residential District, you should contact the City Planning Division. They can provide an overview of the planning process and answer any questions you may have.
The North Seventh Street Historic Residential District Guidelines and Standards will provide the site and building design vision that is appropriate for all property in the District. The intent of this title is to provide a template for development and redevelopment within the District. Each standard is drafted to provide a maximum degree of flexibility and creativity in design, while conforming to a consistent and well-planned vision for the District. The architecture of your project must be of a valid recognized style as described in this title. Site design, streetscape, landscape and other elements will be consistent with the architectural style of each property.

26.08.020 How this title relates to other City regulations.
The North Seventh Street Historic Residential District Guidelines and Standards provide the ultimate vision and patterning for development and redevelopment of the District. They are to be used in conjunction with GJMC Title 21, Zoning and Development Code, to guide development according to the principles of historic preservation. They include specific materials, styles, orientation, and other design criteria which, when in conflict with another adopted standard, the more restrictive provision shall apply. Interpretation of the application of regulations, performance standards, criteria, definitions, procedures or any other provision of this title shall be the responsibility of the City of Grand Junction Historic Preservation Board.

26.08.030 How to determine the guidelines and standards that apply to a particular property.
Structures within the North Seventh Street Historic Residential District are divided into two categories: contributing and noncontributing structures. GJMC 26.08.040 has a detailed definition of each term as well as a list of all the properties in the district and how they relate to these terms.
A contributing structure is a structure that already adheres to and/or complies with these Guidelines and Standards in their entirety at the time of adoption. The Guidelines and Standards that are applicable to contributing structures are found in Chapters 26.20, 26.24, 26.28 and 26.32 GJMC.
A noncontributing structure is a structure that does not adhere to and/or comply with these Guidelines and Standards in their entirety at the time of adoption. The Guidelines and Standards that are applicable to noncontributing structures are found in Chapters 26.20, 26.24 and 26.32 GJMC.
Continued alteration of structures over time can lead to the District being reevaluated for its designation status on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Trust of Historic Preservation and the Department of the Interior. If alterations to the exterior of a structure have degraded its historic integrity, a structure may be determined to no longer be a contributing structure. If too many structures are altered, the District may lose its designation status due to no longer having enough contributing structures. Similarly, alterations that enhance a noncontributing structure may result in the structure becoming contributing. The intent of these Guidelines and Standards is to maintain and enhance the existing structures in order to maintain the designation status on the National Register of Historic Places.

26.08.040 Contributing and noncontributing structures.
Properties within a historic district fall into one of two types of property: contributing and noncontributing.
A contributing building, site, structure or object adds to the historic architectural qualities, historic associations, or archeological values for which a property is significant because:
(a) It was present during the period of significance and possesses historic integrity reflecting its character at that time or is capable of yielding important information about the period; or
(b) It individually meets the National Register eligibility criteria. For inventory purposes, “primary” shall be used synonymously with “contributing.”
This classification has been designated through a survey and a formal hearing process. Contributing structures were identified on North Seventh Street when the National Register Historic District was formed in 1984.
A noncontributing building, site, structure or object is located within the historic district but does not meet the requirements in subsection (a) or (b) of this section.
