Architectural Board of Review

Any new construction, addition, or alteration which changes the exterior appearance of a building must be approved by the Architectural Board of Review before a building permit is issued.

The design of a new construction project should consider the rich architectural heritage of Shaker Heights as well as the relationship of the new building to its neighbors. Alterations and additions should be compatible with the architectural elements of the existing structure in terms of scale, architectural details, materials, and colors.
