§ 16-105. Rerating or removal of historic resource designation.

(a)

Purpose. Periodically it may be necessary to rerate or remove the designation of a historic resource. Rerating or removal is an effort to reflect changing conditions, community values or needs.

Review criteria. The Commission must find that one of the following criteria is met in order to approve a rerating or remove a resource from the historic inventory:

(1)

The inventory was in error;

(2)

Additional research has uncovered an association with a person, group, organization, institution or events that have made a significant contribution to the city, county, state or nation or additional research has been compiled regarding the architectural significance of a structure or style;

(3)

Alterations to the structure have caused it to more closely approximate the historical character, appearance or material composition of the original structure;

(4)

Alterations to the structure have removed distinguishing features or otherwise altered the exterior such that the existing rating is no longer justified;

(5)

The reasons for designating the historic resource no longer apply.
