(c) The structure has been declared a public nuisance under Section 150.70 of the West Carrollton Code of Ordinances.
(d) The structure is not consistent with other structures in the district in terms of historic character, architectural style, construction material, height, setback, mass or use.
(e) The square foot cost of meeting the minimum building code would exceed the square foot market value of similarly used and improved structures in the district. If the applicant applies for the removal of a structure in accordance with this section, the following evidence shall be submitted to the Zoning Enforcement Officer:
(1) An itemized cost estimate provided by a qualified architect, engineer, or contractor indicating those items required to meet the minimum building code; and
(2) A market analysis by an appraiser or qualified real estate professional indicating the square foot value of similarly used and improved structures in the district; and
(3) A demolition cost estimate.
