(A) In order to delist (remove) a property or a Historic District from the County Register, the Historic Preservation Commission must find, and the County Council must confirm, that the property or properties have ceased to meet the criteria for historic designation as set forth in § 1-23-6(B) because the qualities that caused the property or properties to be included in the original designation have been lost or destroyed.
(B) In addition to the requirements of subsection (A) above, delisting of an entire historic district will require approval by: (1) owners of at least the same percentage of the assessed valuation of the real property located within the historic district as initially approved the designation of the historic district; and (2) owners of at least the same percentage of the real property located within the historic district that initially approved the designation of the historic district.
(C) Delisting applications will not be considered in cases of demolition by neglect or other self-created hardships.
