accordance with applicable procedural requirements of the Eugene Code (EC) and OAR 660-023- 0200(8)(a). II. RECORD BEFORE THE HISTORIC REVIEW BOARD The record before the Historic Review Board consists of the application materials, and all testimony and evidence submitted before the record closed on April 7, 2022. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Historic Review Board meetings on this matter were held virtually. The record materials for this application were provided electronically to each of the board members, and printed copies of the record materials were also made available for review. III. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The applications before the Historic Review Board consist of an historic demolition application, an historic alteration application, and an adjustment review application. Historic Demolition Application (OAR Consideration): OAR 660-023-0200(8) is provided below for reference, followed by a discussion of each of the factors and evidence relating to it in the record. OAR 660-023-0200(8) National Register Resources are significant historic resources. For these resources, local governments are not required to follow the process described in OAR 660- 023-0030 through 660-023-0050 or sections (4) through (6). Instead, a local government: a): Must protect National Register Resources, regardless of whether the resources are designated in the local plan or land use regulations, by review of demolition or relocation that includes, at minimum, a public hearing process that results in approval, approval with conditions, or denial and considers the following factors: condition, historic integrity, age, historic significance, value to the community, economic consequences, design or construction rarity, and consistency with and consideration of other policy objectives in the acknowledged comprehensive plan. Local jurisdictions may exclude accessory structures and non-contributing resources within a National Register nomination.... The Board finds that OAR 660-023-0200(8) requires consideration and weighing of the eight factors listed in the rule in order to determine whether the historic demolition application should be approved, approved with conditions, or denied. Based on the plain text of the rule, the Board does not believe that any individual factor is dispositive; rather, the Board understands the rule to require the Board to determine, based on consideration of the testimony and evidence related to the eight factors, whether, on balance, the historic demolition should be approved, approved with conditions, or denied. A discussion of the each of the eight factors follows. Final Order: The Harry and Etta Chase House I HDM 21-1/ HA 21-3/ ARB 21-2
