(a)

Scope. There may be created in the City certain districts to be known as old and historic districts, which are referred to as such in this division and which shall be an overlay to the other zoning districts into which the City is divided. The boundaries of any districts created shall be shown on the official zoning map on file with the Department of Planning and Development Review, as such may be amended from time to time by the City Council, which map is incorporated in this division by reference and made a part of this division. Materials documenting the process of establishing an old and historic district shall be kept in the files of the Department of Planning and Development Review. The adoption, amendment or repeal of any boundaries of such old and historic districts shall comply with and be subject to all procedures and criteria set forth in the Charter applicable to the adoption, amendment or repeal of the comprehensive zoning ordinance.

(b)

Process for creation of districts. As the Commission of Architectural Review undertakes the evaluation of historic resources in the City, it may deem it appropriate to initiate the establishment of additional old and historic districts. Any individual or organization may request that the Commission initiate the review of a potential old and historic district. The review of a proposed old and historic district shall be at the discretion of the Commission. However, it shall be undertaken automatically upon introduction of a paper proposing the establishment of a new old and historic district by the Mayor or by a member of the City Council. To begin the review process of a proposed old and historic district, the Commission shall pass a resolution instructing the Secretary to begin administration of the review process.

(c)

Commission review; public hearing. To begin the review process for the creation of an old and historic district, the Commission of Architectural Review shall hold a public hearing with notice to all property owners within the proposed old and historic district boundary and all owners of all property, any part of which lies within 150 feet of the proposed district. Notice of the public hearing shall be published twice in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the City. The first notice shall be published not less than 14 days prior to the date of such hearing; the second shall be published not less than seven days prior to the date of the hearing. In addition, the establishment of an old and historic district shall follow the procedures set forth in Article XI of this chapter. The Commission may choose to set forth additional procedures for the review of old and historic districts in its rules of procedure.

(d)

Criteria for establishment of additional districts. The following criteria shall be used by the Commission of Architectural Review in evaluating potential old and historic districts. The Commission may recommend a neighborhood, district, building, structure or site for designation as an old and historic district, if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

(1)

It has significant character, interest or value as a part of the historic development of the City.

(2)

It is the site of a historic event which had a significant impact on the history of the City.

(3)

It exemplifies the architectural, cultural, economic, social, political, artistic, or religious history of the City.

(4)

It portrays the architectural character of a particular era in the history of the City.

(5)

It is a rare example of a building built for a particular purpose, a type or form of building, a particular architectural style, or a form of engineering.

(6)

It is the work of a designer or craftsman whose individual work has significantly impacted the City, the Commonwealth, or the United States of America.

(7)

It contains elements of design, detail, material or craftsmanship that represent a significant innovation for its time period.

(8)

It is related to a park, street configuration, open space, hill, body of water, or landscaped grounds of significance in the areas of urban planning or landscape architecture.

(9)

It constitutes a landmark of the City, owing to its unique location or unusual physical characteristics.

(10)

It is contiguous with a neighborhood, district, building, structure, or site that meets one or more of the criteria in subsections (d)(1) through (9) of this section, and changes to it could impact the neighborhood, district, building, structure or site that meets such criteria.

All old and historic districts created prior to the adoption of the ordinance from which this section is derived shall be deemed to meet one or more of these criteria.

(e)

Relation to other districts. Old and historic districts shall be in addition to the underlying zoning and shall be applied so as to overlay and be superimposed on such other zoning districts as permitted by this chapter and shown on the official zoning map. Any property lying within an old and historic district shall also lie within one or more of such other zoning districts, which shall be known as underlying districts.

(f)

Application of district regulations. Each old and historic district is established to create a certificate of appropriateness review process as provided in this section. In all other respects, the regulations normally applicable within the underlying zoning district shall apply to property within the boundaries of the old and historic district.

(a)

General standards. The Commission of Architectural Review shall issue a certificate of appropriateness for alterations that are compatible with a property and the old and historic district of which it is a part. Each old and historic district contains buildings of varying architectural and historic significance. The Commission shall evaluate the significance of each property on a case-by-case basis.

The Commission may adopt additional standards for the review of certificates of appropriateness to supplement these standards.

(b)

Standards for rehabilitation. The Commission of Architectural Review shall issue a certificate of appropriateness for the rehabilitation of a property, if it determines that a proposed change is compatible with the property and with the old and historic district of which it is a part.

The demolition of any building that has deteriorated beyond the point of being feasibly rehabilitated is permissible, where the applicant can satisfy the Commission as to the infeasibility of rehabilitation. The Commission may adopt additional demolition standards for the review of certificates of appropriateness applications to supplement these standards.

(e)

Standards for site improvements. The Commission of Architectural Review shall issue a certificate of appropriateness for site improvements it deems to be appropriate to the character of the property and to the old and historic district of which it is a part. The Commission may adopt additional site improvement standards for the review of certificates of appropriateness to supplement these standards.

(1)

Protection of existing architectural massing, composition and styles as well as neighborhood scale and character.

(2)

Compatibility of new construction and structural alterations with the existing scale and character of surrounding properties.

(3)

Preservation of streetscapes, open spaces and natural features.
