Website Baltimore City Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation
The Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP) was created in 1964. The Mayor appoints CHAP Commissioners and the Commission's staff work for the Department of Planning. CHAP's main goals are to preserve and revitalize neighborhoods. We honor and celebrate the history of the city, its architecture, and its citizens. CHAP's work improves the local economy and environmental sustainability. CHAP has designated 38 neighborhoods as local historic districts and more than 200 properties as landmarks. CHAP manages a tax credit program for restoring historic buildings.
Working as part of the Historical and Architectural Preservation Division, the Historic Preservation Planner manages historic preservation design review for local historic districts and landmarks, collaborates with colleagues in Planning and the Department of Housing and Community Development, supports neighborhood associations and citizens, and presents staff reports to the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation. This position will also be deeply involved with our new conservation district program, which will include community outreach, historical research, writing district designations, and developing policies and guidelines.
The salary range is $76,299 – $122,078 annually, and the City offers excellent benefits. We currently operate in a hybrid format, and Department of Planning staff are required to work in the office for 2 days per week. This position will require occasional work on evenings and weekends.
