The planning director shall consider all of the following in assessing the <br /> likelihood of historic preservation: <br /> (1) Relocation is the only viable altemative for preservation of the historic property. <br /> (2) The effects of the moving upon the use and development of the historic <br /> property. <br /> (3) The historic property is structurally capable of relocation. <br /> (4) The proposed new relocation site will not reduce the historic significance or <br /> historic architectural significance of the historic property. <br /> When a historic property is moved to a new location, the historic property status is <br /> automatically removed for that property at the new site unless the planning director, <br /> using the process required for designation, determines that the historic landmark <br /> designation is appropriate. <br /> Interpretations <br /> 9.8187 Interpretations.
