Chapter 5 – Buildings and Building Regulation, Article IX. – Demolition
Demolition shall mean any intentional or unintentional act of dismantling, pulling down,
destroying, removing, razing or moving a structure or any structural portion thereof, or
commencing the work of moving or of total or substantial destruction of a structure or portion
thereof. For the purposes of demolition review as described in article IX, demolition is defined
quantitatively as:
(1) Removal or encapsulation of more than twenty-five (25) percent of the framed structure of
exterior walls facing public streets, or a street-facing elevation if the tract of land is
landlocked; or,
(2) Removal or encapsulation of more than fifty (50) percent of the framed structure of all
exterior walls and/or roofs.
Exception: Minor repair and routine maintenance.
Significant structure shall mean any structure or portion thereof that in whole or in part meets one
(1) or more criteria in section 5-134(h), and has been so determined by the city council.
Section 5-134(h): The architectural review board shall consider the following criteria when
determining the significance, as defined in this chapter, of existing structures:
(1) Was the structure designed by a noted architect?
(2) Has the structure been listed as having historic significance by any local, regional,
state or historic agency or society?
(3) Does the structure exhibit characteristics of a distinct architectural style?
(4) Does the structure belong to a distinctive set of buildings, such as a single structure
belonging to a row of similar structures?
3. (5) Is the structure a significant part of the fabric of the community due to its age, unique
architecture, historical significance or physical placement?
Compatibility shall mean harmony with the existing neighborhood, site configurations,
development patterns, and the character of the development envelope found within the adjacent
and immediate block area, as demonstrated in the demolition review application, including roof
pitch, scale, massing, garage and driveway location and setbacks. Adjacent and immediate block
area shall include but not be limited to all properties along:
(1) The specific block where the project is proposed;
(2) The block to each side of the project's block; and
(3) The blocks directly across the street of the three (3) blocks identified above.
Block shall mean a length of street right-of-way along one (1) side of the street from one (1)
intersection to the next adjoining intersection.
A portion of this property is located within the City’s 100-yr floodway but the proposed
improvements are located outside of the flood area as illustrated on the proposed site plan (Sheet
A101). The project would not be required to obtain a Floodplain Development Permit.
The Architectural Review Board conducted both significance and compatibility reviews at their
July 18, 2023 meeting. The board voted unanimously to declare the existing main structure as not
significant and recommend approval of the proposed design as compatible.
FISCAL IMPACT
No projected fiscal impact from this project has been calculated.
