The owner has obtained a certificate of economic hardship; or
The relocation activity is demonstrated to be an acceptable preservation method given the character and integrity of the building, structure or object and its move will not adversely affect the integrity of the Historic District in which it was originally located or diminish the historic, architectural or aesthetic relationships of adjacent designated properties; and
Additionally, for approval to relocate all of the following criteria must be met:
It has been determined that the building, structure or object is capable of withstanding the physical impacts of relocation;

Staff Finding:The applicant has received Conceptual Major Development approval to combine and enlarge the existing basement. As part of this scope of work, the applicant will need to underpin the two historic resources which triggers Relocation review. Following the excavation work, the historic resources will continue to occupy their current historic location. Staff supports this request because it meets the Historic Preservation Design Guidelines and the criteria for Relocation.
