18-14-103. HISTORIC STRUCTURES.

If a structure within an Historic Preservation Zone is designated for historic preservation as part of the Zone, and is so noted on the Official Zoning Map, then the following restrictions will apply to any use or alteration of the building:

1. No building designated as an historic preservation site may be remodeled, enlarged, repaired, or otherwise altered without first seeking a permit from the Director of the Land Use and Environment Department.
2. The Director shall grant a permit under this section only on the following conditions:
   1. The exterior design, material and detail shall be preserved to the maximum extent feasible.
   2. Any additions to the structure do not exceed that which was traditional for the building style, and to the greatest extent feasible, maintain the same scale, proportion, building scale; and materials as the original structure.
   3. The building improvements overall are compatible with the architectural style and character of the original building.
3. No person shall demolish a building designated for historic preservation without applying for a permit from the Director.
   1. If the building has been damaged in excess of 60% of its value, the permit for demolition shall be issued without any preservation conditions.
   2. In all other cases, the permit shall not be issued for 45 days after the application for demolition, during which time the Director shall make reasonable efforts to identify alternatives to demolition with the goal of maintaining the structure. A lack of private or tribal funding to pay to preserve the structure will be sufficient to allow demolition.
