<br />the property, and shall give the owner a reasonable amount of time, as stated in <br />the notice, to perform such work. <br /> <br />Sec. 15.36.200 Criteria for Demolition or Relocation of Non- <br />Landmarked Buildings. <br /> <br />A. Purpose: The purpose of the review of permit applications for demolition, <br />moving, and removal of buildings that are over fifty (50) years old is to prevent <br />the loss of buildings that may have historical or architectural significance. The <br />purpose of this Chapter is also to provide the time necessary to initiate designation <br />as an individual landmark or to consider alternatives for the building. <br /> <br />B. Permit Requirement: No person shall demolish, move, or remove any <br />building which is over fifty (50) years old without first applying to the Building <br />Division for a permit under this Chapter and receiving a permit. Any person <br />receiving such a permit may conduct the demolition, moving, or removal of the <br />building as authorized under such permit only in compliance with the terms of the <br />permit and only before the permit expires. <br /> <br />C. Demolition Determination: The City will determine if demolition review <br />under this Chapter is required by examining building permit applications for <br />buildings described in subsection B above. <br /> <br />D. Initial Review: A staff member and two randomly selected Commission <br />members shall review all permit applications for demolition, moving or removal <br />of buildings that are over fifty (50) years old, The initial review shall be <br />completed within fourteen (14) days after the Building Division accepts a <br />completed permit application to determine whether there is probable cause to <br />believe that the building may be eligible for designation as an individual landmark <br />consistent with the purposes and standards of this Chapter. If the staff member <br />and two randomly selected members of the Commission members fail to submit <br />their recommendation to the Building Division within thirty days (30) after the <br />Building Division accepts a completed permit application, the Building Division <br />shall issue the permit if all other requirements of the permit process have been met <br /> <br />E. Scope of Permit Review and Stay of the Issuance of a Permit: If the staff <br />member and two randomly selected members of the Commission members <br />unanimously determine that there would be no significant impact or potential <br />detriment to the historic resources of the City, the Building Division shall issue <br />the permit if all other requirements of the permit process have been met. If the <br />staff member or one of the two randomly selected members of the Commission <br />determines that there is probable cause to believe that the building may be eligible <br />for designation as an individual landmark, the issuance of the permit shall be <br />stayed for up to sixty (60) days from the date that a completed application is <br />accepted by the Building Division, and the permit shall be referred to the <br />Commission for a public hearing. A copy of this determination, including the <br />reasons why the building may be eligible for designation, shall be provided to the <br /> <br />20 <br />
