The purpose of the Neighborhood Character Overlay – Olympia Mill Village is to preserve and protect the architectural style and characteristics of the historic mill houses and other historic structures in the Olympia neighborhood. The overlay also seeks to encourage any change in the neighborhood, whether through new builds, renovations, or demolitions, to reflect and contribute to the architectural character of the historic neighborhood.
Any development or major renovations of historic properties taking place in the unincorporated Olympia Neighborhood will require a design approval certificate. Please reach out to County Planning Staff for any questions and to set up a pre-application meeting.
