The Inventory of Historic Resources lists, describes, and determines the eligibility of historic resources for listing in the City of Canby Register of Historic Landmarks and Historic Districts. Not all properties listed in the Inventory of Historic Resources are eligible for listing in the City of Canby Register of Historic Landmarks and Historic Districts. A property need not be first listed in the Inventory of Historic Resources before being nominated to the City of Canby Register of Historic Landmarks and Historic Districts under Section 16.110.045.
The Heritage and Landmarks Commission shall determine and periodically revise priorities for the identification and evaluation of historic resources based on the
community’s needs and interests.
Before commencing inventory studies or updates, the Heritage and Landmarks Commission shall provide public notice describing the inventory and its purposes, as well as invite public participation.
Surveyed properties shall be identified as Eligible/Significant (ES), Eligible/Contributing (EC), Non- Contributing (NC), or Not in Period (NP). Evaluation and documentation of properties in the Inventory of Historic Resources shall meet the requirements of the document, “Guidelines for Historic Resource Surveys in Oregon, 2010” or most recent guidance for such efforts published by the SHPO and supplied to the agency within six (6) months of the completion of the study. All survey data will be recorded in the Oregon Historic Sites Database.
The Heritage and Landmarks Commission shall request a Geographic Information System (GIS) point layer for properties within and immediately adjacent to the City of Canby, with associated attribute data from the SHPO’s Oregon Historic Sites Database, for integration within the City’s GIS system and for making the data publicly available via the city’s website. This data sharing will be updated annually. No archaeological data will be included in this data sharing.
The Inventory of Historic Resources shall be maintained as a public record with the exception of archaeological sites, which is prohibited by state law.
Citizens shall have the opportunity to review and correct information included in the Inventory of Historic Resources. Any member of the public may place a property in the Inventory of Historic Resources; however, the Heritage and Landmarks Commission retains the authority to determine the property’s eligibility for listing in the City of Canby Register of Historic Landmarks and Historic Districts.
The Heritage and Landmarks Commission may collect further information including, but not limited to, current photographs, architectural descriptions based on on-site observations, or archival documentation for properties already listed in the City of Canby Register of Historic Landmarks and Historic Districts or National Register for the purposes of administering this Ordinance pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
