This research studied the Cottage Home Conservation District Designation Process in Indianapolis, Indiana to determine the role neighborhood planning plays in midwestern neighborhood conservation districts. A narrative of the Cottage Home designation process was created after analyzing various local documents and learning from seven in-depth interviews conducted with key individuals involved in the designation process. Interviews were conducted with individuals from the Cottage Home Neighborhood, the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission (IHPC) and the Indiana Historic Landmarks Foundation (IHLF). The narrative was used to answer the three following questions but they aren’t posed as questions: 1) What are the elements of neighborhood planning that were used during the process? 2) Is the Conservation Area Plan developed during the process an example of a neighborhood plan? 3) Could the Cottage Home Designation Process be used as a model for other potential neighborhood conservation districts nationwide? This study determined that a number of neighborhood planning elements were used during the process and these included policy recommendations for the neighborhood’s land use, zoning, public facilities, parks and open space, transportation, residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The use of these elements in the Cottage Home Conservation Area Plan is the main reason this study has determined that the plan is an example of a neighborhood plan. However, it is a neighborhood plan that is geared specifically to advance historic preservation while preserving the neighborhood’s character. The study also determined that, due to various circumstances surrounding the Cottage Home designation process, the IHPC designation process found in Cottage Home was specific to Cottage Home and, thus, could not easily be applied anywhere else.
