It is the intent of this section to provide an incentive for owners of historic structures to retain them, by allowing uses not otherwise permitted in the underlying zoning district. The director may deny any request which is judged to have major adverse effects on the neighborhood that cannot be mitigated. Any structure on the State or national register of historic places may be occupied by a use not otherwise permitted in the underlying zoning district; provided that any proposed alteration, repair, or renovation beyond its original design and the proposed use is approved by the State historic preservation officer.
