2. High Point-Jamestown Annexation Agreement

   The Town of Jamestown and the City of High Point entered into a joint annexation agreement on November 21, 1991 and the agreement is due to expire on December 20, 2018. The two jurisdictions want to continue to encourage the orderly development of the unincorporated areas adjacent to the two municipalities, and therefore they are proposing to renew their agreement that determines where each municipality can annex property into its jurisdiction.

3. Design Review Guidelines Update

   The City of High Point's Historic District Design Review Guidelines are in the process of being updated in a joint effort between the City of High Point, the Historic Preservation Commission and members of the community with an interest in preserving the city's historic properties.

4. Central Business (CB) District Design Standards

   In February, City Council identified a need for building design standards for the downtown area and asked staff to draft an ordinance for their consideration. Downtowns are economic generators for cities and it is important to protect investments that have been made in this area. The city currently has design standards for areas just outside the CB district and in other areas of the city, but not for the CB district.
