Legal Documents of Sweetwater

The heritage of the City of Sweetwater is one of its most valued assets. Conservation of historic properties will stabilize and increase property values in their areas as well as strengthen the overall economy of the city, county and state. By means of identification and regulation of historic properties, the city seeks, within its zoning jurisdiction, to:

1. Safeguard its heritage and historic character by preserving any property therein that embodies important elements of its culture, history, or architectural history; and
2. Promote the use and conservation of such district or landmark for the education, economic welfare, pleasure and cultured enrichment of the residents of the city, county, and the state as a whole. (as added by Ord. #781, April 2006)
