The Historic Resource Survey lists, describes, and determines the eligibility of historic resources for listing in the Local Landmark Register. Not all properties listed in the Historic Resource Survey are
eligible for listing in the Landmarks Register. A property need not be first listed in the Historic Resource Survey before being nominated to the Local Landmark Register under § 156.09.
(A) The Commission shall determine and periodically revise priorities for the identification and evaluation of historic resources based on the community’s needs and interests.
(B) 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 Historic Resource Survey 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 be supplied to the agency within six months of the completion of the study.
(C) The Historic Resource Survey shall be maintained as a public record with the exception of archaeological sites, which is prohibited by state law.
(D) Citizens shall have the opportunity to review and correct information included in the Historic Resource Survey. Any member of the public may place a property in the Historic Resource Survey; however, the Commission retains the authority to determine the property’s eligibility for listing in the Local Landmark Register.
(E) The 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 Local Landmark Register or National Register for the purposes of administering this chapter pursuant to the provisions of this section.
