7-306.A. Rated Structure or Local Landmark. Demolition of a rated structure or local landmark shall only be approved if H.A.R.C. finds all of the following standards are met:

7-306.A.1. The structure cannot be rehabilitated or reused on site as part of any economically beneficial use of the property;

7-306.A.2. The structure proposed for demolition is structurally unsound despite efforts by the owner to properly maintain the structure;

7-306.A.3. The structure cannot be practicably moved to another site within the THLD;

7-306.A.4. The demolition proposal mitigates to the greatest extent practical any impact to the character of the “neighborhood” of the property on which the demolition is proposed to occur;

7-306.A.5. The historical integrity and architectural character of the area where the proposed demolition of a structure is to take place will not be substantially diminished or compromised. For the purposes of this Section, the term “architectural character” shall include, but not be limited to, height, coverage, setbacks, massing, siting, fenestration, streetscape, alleyscape, materials, and scale of materials;

7-306.A.6. Subsequent development on the property will add to the architectural character of the neighborhood more than the structure(s) to be demolished;

7-306.A.7. The demolition proposal mitigates to the greatest extent practical any impact to the historical importance of other structures located on the property and on adjacent parcels and on the integrity of the Telluride National Historic Landmark District;

7-306.A.8. The demolition proposal mitigates to the greatest extent practical any impact on the architectural character of a designated historic structure or part thereof; and

7-306.A.9. The applicant has agreed to redevelop the originating site after demolition pursuant to an approved redevelopment plan which provides for a replacement structure, which plan is compatible with and/or enhances the historical integrity and architectural character of the immediate area, neighborhood, the applicable treatment area, and the Telluride Historic Landmark District. This standard may be waived by H.A.R.C. or the Planning Director if the applicant agrees to deed restrict the property to open space uses and H.A.R.C. finds that such restriction constitutes a greater benefit to the THLD or the HPOD than redevelopment would.

7-306.B. Non-Rated or Non-Designated Structure. Demolition of a non-rated structure or non-designated structure shall only be approved if H.A.R.C. or the Planning Director finds all of the standards of subsections A.5 through A.9 of this Section are met.
