The commission shall issue an alteration certificate for any proposed work on a <br />designated historical site or district only if the proposed work would not detrimentally alter, <br />destroy or adversely affect any architectural or landscape feature which contributes to its <br />original historical designation. <br />B. The commission must find the proposed alteration to be visually compatible with <br />designated historic structures located on the property in terms of design, finish, material, <br />scale, mass and height. When the subject site is in an historic district, the commission <br />must also find that the proposed alteration is visually compatible with characteristics that <br />define the district. For the purposes of this chapter, the term "compatible" shall mean <br />consistent with, harmonious with, or enhancing to the mixture of complementary <br />architectural styles, either of the architecture of an individual structure or the character of <br />the surrounding structures. <br />C. The commission will use the following criteria to determine compatibility: <br />1. The effect upon the general historical and architectural character of the <br />structure and property. <br />2. The architectural style, arrangement, texture, and material used on the existing <br />and proposed structures and their relation and compatibility with other <br />structures. <br />3. The size of the structure, its setbacks, its site, location, and the <br />appropriateness thereof, when compared to existing structures and the site. <br />4. The compatibility of accessory structures and fences with the main structure on <br />the site, and with other structures. <br />5. The effects of the proposed work in creating, changing, destroying, or <br />otherwise impacting the exterior architectural features of the structure upon <br />which such work is done. <br />6. The condition of existing improvements and whether they are a hazard to <br />public health and safety. <br />22 <br />
