Prior to the
or relocation, in whole or in part, of any landmark, an
and plans shall be submitted to the Community Development Department for review and action by the HLB under Type III procedures.
A. In considering a proposal for
or relocation of a landmark, the HLB shall have the authority to allow the
or relocation, or to allow partial
or relocation, or to delay approval of the
or relocation. If the HLB acts to approve the request, in whole or in part, issuance of a permit and the commencement of work shall be delayed until
periods have expired. The Board shall base its action on the following criteria, and shall delay approval of the
or relocation if it finds that:
1. The landmark is of such architectural, historic or scenic interest that its
or relocation would be detrimental to the public interest;
2. The landmark is of such interest or significance that it is or could be included in the National Register of Historic Places or is on the Oregon State Inventory of Historic Places;
3. The landmark has such unusual design, texture, or materials characteristics that it could not be reproduced or could be reproduced only with great difficulty or expense; or
4. Retention of the landmark would aid substantially in the preservation of another designated landmark or in preservation of the character of the adjacent area.
B. If the Board acts to delay approval of the proposal, the
or relocation may be delayed for up to a maximum of 180 days from the Board’s initial consideration of the proposal. The decision of the HLB may be appealed to the City
in accordance with the
procedures for a Type III decision.
C. If, at the end of the extended delay period, the owner of the landmark or his or her authorized agent has not withdrawn the
for
or relocation, the
shall be deemed approved, and any
permits required for such
or relocation shall be issued.
