HISTORIC DISTRICT
§ 175-60. Statement of Intent.
A. The intent of this section is to implement the Comprehensive Plan goal of
protecting our natural, scenic and historic resources and provide a means to
recognize and protect the historic, architectural, cultural, and artistic heritage
of the community, and to promote and protect the health, safety, recreational,
educational, economical, and general welfare of Edinburg through the
identification, preservation and enhancement of its buildings, structures,
sites, districts, objects, neighborhoods, landscapes, places and areas which
have special historical, cultural, artistic, architectural or archaeological
significance as provided by Section 15.2-2306 of the Code of Virginia, as
amended, hereinafter the “Virginia Code”.
B. A survey of architectural resources within the corporate limits of the Town of
Edinburg was completed in the spring of 1997. Its purpose was to identify
and document approximately 170 architectural properties in an area defined
as the proposed Edinburg Historic District. The three main objectives of the
project were to survey the historic resources within the proposed historic
district boundaries, write a survey report on the findings and complete a
National Register Nomination application for the Edinburg Historic District to
be accepted by the Virginia Historic Resources Board. The survey report not
only established an historic context for the surveyed properties, but also
serves as a planning document for making land use decisions and assists the
Town in the creation of a Historic District Ordinance. The proposed Edinburg
Historic District was approved and placed on the National Register of Historic
Places July 22, 1998. The survey resulted in the documentation 186 properties with a total of 305 individual histroic resources including; 133 single dwellings, 19 commercial or mixed use buildings, four churches, two hotels, a train station, a mill, 2 warehouses, 41 grages, thirty-six chicken coops, 22 sheds, 8 barns, 8 meat-houses, five kitchens, 3 workshops, 2 bridges, 2 cemetereteries, two foundations, 2 privies, one station, one fountain, one gatepost and stairs, one pump house, road trace and mill ruin, and a town hall building. The Edinburg Town Council established the Designated Historic District as an Overlay of the Town’s Official Zoning Map, June 13, 2006.
C. It is hereby recognized that the deterioration, destruction or alteration of said
buildings, structures, sites, districts, objects, landscapes, places and areas
may cause the permanent loss of unique resources which are of great value
to current and future generations of Edinburg, the Commonwealth of Virginia,
and the Nation, and that special controls and incentives are warranted to
ensure that such losses are avoided.
§ 175-61. The purposes for establishing an historic district ordinance are:
A. To protect the historic significance and integrity of the properties within the historic district which are or may be recognized for having association with historic events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Edinburg’s history; or have association with significant persons; or posses distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or have the potential to yield information important to prehistory or history.
B. To preserve and improve the quality of life and sense of place for Edinburg’s residents by protecting familiar and treasured tangible, visual elements in the area.
C. To promote tourism and other economic benefits by protecting historical, architectural, archaeological and cultural resources, including historic landscapes attractive to visitors and thereby supporting local business and industry.
D. To stabilize and improve property values by providing incentives for the upkeep and rehabilitation of significant older buildings and structures and encourage appropriate land use planning and development that will enhance both the economic viability and historic character of the district.
E. To educate residents, students and tourists about the local cultural and historic heritage as embodied in the historic district through the preservation of Edinburg’s architectural and archaeological past that demonstrates the social and artistic development pattern of our predecessors.
F. To promote local historic preservation efforts and to encourage the identification and nomination by their owners of eligible individual historic properties to the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.
G. The promotion of harmony of style, geographical context, form, color, proportion, scale, height, width, spacing, setback, orientation, rhythm, traditional quality, appearance, texture, finish and material between buildings of historic design and those of more modern design.
H. To develop the historic areas, not in a vacuum, but as a vital area in which each succeeding generation may build with the quality and sensitivity of past generations.
I. Encourage sound stewardship and foster a sense of pride in Edinburg’s heritage resources.

guidelines, the Town Council conducted a survey of architectural resources
within the corporate limits of the Town in the spring of 1997. The resulting
survey documented 186 properties resources within the defined area and
resulted in the identification of 305 individual contributing historic resources.
The proposed Edinburg Historic District was approved and placed on the
National Register of Historic Places on July 22, 1998. The Town Council
established the District as an Overlay of the Town’s Official Zoning Map, June
13, 2006. The Edinburg Historic District Survey Report, Inventory and Historic
District Inventory Map are adopted as part of this Ordinance.
B. The ARB may, with the approval of Town Council, conduct or cause to be
conducted a survey of additional buildings, structures, objects and sites for the purpose of identifying additional resources which have historical, architectural, archaeological or cultural significance, and for the purpose of compiling appropriate descriptions and documentation to create additional Historic Districts when they feel the need exists to do so. Upon completion of a survey or updating of the inventory, the ARB shall use the survey results to recommend to the Town Council the designation of a new Historic District or revisions to the existing Historic District. In accomplishing the survey and study, the ARB shall place particular emphasis upon evaluating and incorporating the findings of historic, architectural, and archaeological surveys and studies already completed.

historic character of the District shall be shown as contributing properties for the

cultural heritage. Buildings, structures, objects and sites of local significance shall
be evaluated as well as those of State and National significance, and any structures
individually listed upon the National Register of Historic Places or the Virginia
Landmarks Register shall be designated upon the community’s register as
contributing NRHP and VLR properties. In addition, such evaluation should be based
on the following specific matters:

or type and its geographical context and shall judge a resource’s merit on how
well it exemplifies the distinguishing characteristics of said style or type.

preservation. The district may include either individual buildings or places of such
character, and a reasonable distance beyond, to incorporate the contributing setting,
or it may include areas or groupings of resources which have significance relative to
their patterns of development or social and economic or architectural
