Require historical evaluation before demolishing old buildings
In Plain English
The city currently allows property owners to demolish buildings without checking if they have historical value. If approved, owners must hire historians to evaluate buildings over 45 years old before tearing them down. This protects potentially significant structures from being lost forever.
