ADDENDUM TO LANDMARK STANDARDS: MOVING STRUCTURES <br />Movinq (a) An historic landmark or a significant building in a <br />Historic District may be moved to another site only if it is shown <br />that continued location on its current site is inconsistent with <br />preservation of the historical and architectural character of the <br />landmark considering (1) the purpose of historic preservation, (2) <br />the landmark's architectural and/or historical value and <br />significance, (3) continued preservation and protection of original <br />structure, its material and important details, (4) the relationship <br />of the landmark to other buildings in the historic district, and (5) <br />the position of the landmark in relation to the street, right of way, <br />and to other buildings and structures. <br />(b) The moving of landmarks is discouraged but is preferable <br />to demolition. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required to move <br />a landmark or structure in a historic district, and the owner must <br />establish satisfactorily the criteria for moving as set forth in <br />subsection (a) of this Section. <br />Adopted by the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph <br />County, February 17, 1992. <br />MISC/HISTORIC <br />
