All applications for demolition of a designated historic resource shall be reviewed by the historic resource review committee. The applicant for the demolition permit shall submit the following information:
A. A statement identifying the structure’s state of repair (disrepair);
B. A statement as to the reasonableness of repairing the structure as opposed to demolition;
C. Identification of restoration costs. The historic resource review committee shall review the information submitted by the applicant and make a finding that the structure cannot be reasonably restored or repaired prior to approval. If this finding is satisfied the demolition permit shall be issued. The review process shall in no case be exercised so as to impose upon any property owner any peculiar or undue hardship, nor to prevent the removal or demolition of any structure which cannot be economically maintained or restored, giving due consideration to all potential uses to which the structure might reasonably be put to use upon restoration by a private property owner.
All demolition permits subject to review by the historic resources review committee shall be subject to the notice and hearing procedures identified under Chapter 16.132. (Prior code § 10.228(E))
