In general.
All landmarks, historic districts, conservation districts, all nominated properties
under interim protection and all historic resources shall be subject to all applicable
requirements of this chapter.
(b)
Emergency exception.
Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the emergency alteration or other modification
necessary to correct the unsafe or dangerous condition of any structure or other feature,
where the building official certifies to the planning director that such condition
has been declared unsafe or dangerous and the proposed measures have been determined
necessary to correct the condition without delay. However, only such work that is
necessary to correct the unsafe or dangerous condition may be performed. The extent
of such work shall be determined in consultation with the planning director who may
recommend to the building official that the salvage and preservation of specified
building materials, architectural details, ornaments, fixtures and similar items be
made a condition of such emergency alteration or modification. The planning director
shall report to the commission not less than once per month all emergency alterations
or other modifications certified to the planning director in the preceding month,
the reasons for such emergency, and the nature and extent of the alteration or modification
performed.
