Owners of a landmarked property will be <br />eligible for this grant following the signing of the Landmark and grant agreements. A <br />Preservation and Restoration Grant of up $40,000 grant shall be conditioned based on the <br />applicant matching one hundred percent of the amount for approved work. Approved work must <br />fall under the categories of preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration. <br />Preservation is the act or process of applying measures necessary to sustain the <br />existing form, integrity, and materials of an historic property as they now exist. Approved <br />work focuses upon the repair of exterior historic materials and features rather than <br />extensive replacement and new construction. <br />Rehabilitation is the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property <br />through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features <br />which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. Rehabilitation acknowledges <br />the need to alter or add to a historic property to meet continuing or changing uses while <br />retaining the property's historic character. The limited and sensitive upgrading of <br />mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and other code -required work to make <br />properties functional is appropriate. <br />Restoration is the act or process of accurately depicting the form, features, and <br />character of a property as it appeared at a particular period of time. Approved work <br />focuses on exterior work and includes the removal of features from other periods in its <br />history and reconstruction of missing features from the restoration period. <br />Staff reviewed the grant request by evaluating whether each request qualified for grant funding <br />as either preservation, rehabilitation, or restoration. Findings are summarized in the following <br />table. <br />
