Part 11 — HISTORIC STRUCTURE WORK PERMIT

The historic structure work permit process is a review that ensures that all work proposed to be done to a historic building, structure or place will not be detrimental to the character or value of the building, structure or place. (Ord. 1346, passed 5-2-12)

Applications for work permits shall be processed in accordance with these guidelines.

(A) Director of Community Development approval or reference. After the Director of Community Development has received the completed application, the Director shall review the request and conduct a field investigation of the site. If the Director determines that the proposed work will affect only the interior of the building or structure, or will not have more than a minor effect upon the exterior appearance, the Director shall approve the work permit. The Director shall refer all other applications for work permits to the Historic Resource Advisory Committee for determination.

(B) Historic Resource Advisory Committee action. The Historic Resource Advisory Committee shall conduct a public hearing on all referred work permit applications to consider the Director’s recommendation, and shall act to grant, grant subject to conditions or deny the permit. The action shall be by resolution. (Ord. 1346, passed 5-2-12)

The authorized signature of the Director of Community Development, the Historic Resources Advisory Committee or the Appeal Authority if the permit was appealed, shall signify approval, conditional approval or denial of the work permit.
