9/29/16 A group of Historic Park Place District residents began meeting over the summer. Areas of interest for the group are focused on the redevelopment of the Park View Apartments on West Third Avenue and Park Street (see image below) and two recent Certificates of Appropriateness (COAs) for changes or new construction in the District. From a recent meeting with the Lexington Planning Board and Board of Adjustment , the group is organizing further and will be seeking additional interested neighbors in the District. The objective of the organizing group is to provide a community voice for the Historic Park Place District with regard to COAs and other matters. The charter is to be determined as is the process of engagement with the community and COA process. The group will be reaching out to the community. If you have not been contacted, then please let your interest known by contacting the email address posted above.

The City of Lexington's web site and describes the district beginning with the highlighted paragraph.
The Historic Park Place District
Over the course of many years spanning from 2005 to 2013, the Historic Preservation Commission was appointed and worked diligently to identify a Local Historic District and draft a set of design guidelines that would act as the historic regulations for properties within the district. The proposed boundaries and draft guidelines underwent a public review process with residents and owners from the proposed district to ensure that the proposed regulations were aligned with local priorities and historic values. As part of this review process, presentations were shared with residents concerning the proposed district and the guidelines have been revised throughout the process as deemed appropriate. (more)
The District Boundaries are shown in the image below that is available on the preceding link.
