September 2, 201 5 Page 2 of 2
As currently written, these incentives can be applied to single-family homes located in
locally designated historic districts, provided the home is designated as a standalone
historic structure by the Historic Preservation Board. Since modification and demolition
of homes located in locally designated historic districts is subject to the approval of the
Historic Preservation Board, additional incentives to retain and preserve such homes
have been questioned.
The proposed amendment would modify the applicability of the incentives to ensure that
they only apply to homes located outside of locally designated historic districts. The
Ordinance amendment would modify Section 142-1OA (g)(2xl) of the Land Development
Regulations as follows:
l. The above regulations shall also be applicable to:
1. Any single-family home designated as an historic structure by the
historic preservation board, and not located with
