If the property to be demolished is not designated on the Historic Sites List or the Historic Landmark Register, the Chairperson of the Commission shall make an initial determination within two (2) days from the date the Commission receives the application as to whether the property may be of historical or

If the Commission determines that the property is of such historical and/or cultural significance the Historic Preservation Commission may delay issuance of the Permit for the property for a period of thirty (30) days from the date the Commission determines the property is of historical and/or cultural significance for the
explicit and express purpose of negotiating or arranging alternatives to the demolition of the structure and documenting the site and the structure’s physical appearance. Documentation may include such items as set forth in Subsection (2)(B).
(iii) Criteria for Determining Significance. In order to delay the issuance of a Demolition Permit for non-designated properties under this Section, the Historic Preservation Commission must determine that the site or structure would be eligible for designation in accordance with the criteria set forth herein for such designations.

(k) Removal of Properties from List or Register.
(1) By Non-Owner. Properties which, in the opinion of the Historic Site Commission, no
longer meet the criteria for eligibility may be removed from the Historic Sites List or the Historic Landmark Register after review and consideration by the Commission. Any such removal initiated by someone other than the owner shall be made in accordance with the designation procedures and criteria set forth herein.

Register.
(3) When any property is removed from the Historic Sites List or the Historic Landmark
Register, the Commission shall file notice of the removal with the City and County Recorder's
Office, as applicable.

(l) Standards for Rehabilitation. 
The following "Standards for Rehabilitation" shall be used by the Historic Preservation Commission and City Council when determining the historic appropriateness of any application pertaining to Historic Sites List and Historic Landmark properties:
(1) Use. The property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the structure and its site and environment.
(2) Character. The historic character of the property shall be retained and preserved. The
removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize the property shall be avoided.
(3) Developments. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.
(4) Changes. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic
significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved.
(5) Distinctive Items. Distinctive features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the structure shall be preserved.
(6) Deterioration. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or
pictorial evidence.
(7) Cleaning. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be
undertaken using the gentlest means possible.
(8) Resources. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected
and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.
(9) Materials. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the historic property and its environment.
(10) Historic Integrity. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be
undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the
historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
(11) Additional Guidelines. Additional guidelines may be used as set forth in "The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings".

(m) Enforcement. 
The provisions of this Section are subject to the enforcement provisions established in the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Code for Building Conservation, Uniform Housing Code, Zoning Ordinances, and other Ordinances, as adopted and amended by the City. Failure to follow standards as required herein may result in the removal of the property from the Historic Sites List, the Historic Landmark Register and the National Register of Historic Places.

(n) Appeals. 
Any interested person aggrieved by any final decision of the Historic Preservation Commission in the administration of this Ordinance may appeal such decision to the City Council by filing a written appeal with the City Recorder stating the grounds therefore within fourteen (14) days from the date of the decision or action.
