Additional Guidelines for Alterations (Section 23.5-4(k)2)
In approving or denying applications for certificates of appropriateness for alterations, the City shall also
consider the following additional guidelines:
A. Is every reasonable effort being made to provide a compatible use for a property that
requires minimal alteration of the building, structure or site and its environment, or to use the
property for its originally intended purpose?
B. Are the distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its
environment being destroyed? The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive
architectural features shall be avoided whenever possible.
C. When a Certificate of appropriateness is requested to replace windows or doors, the HRPB or
development review officer, as appropriate, shall permit the property owner's original design when
the City’s alternative design would result in an increase in cost of thirty percent (30%) above the
owner's original cost. The owner shall be required to demonstrate to the City that:
(1) The work to be performed will conform to the original door and window openings of the
structure; and
(2) That the replacement windows or doors with less expensive materials will achieve a savings
in excess of thirty (30) percent over historically compatible materials otherwise required by
these LDRs.
(3) If the applicant avails himself of this paragraph, the materials used must appear to be as
historically accurate as possible.
