Section 118-5-6 - Standards for certifying a qualified historic structure within a historic district

Each structure for which certification is sought that is located within a district listed on the register of historic Kansas places or national register of historic places shall be reviewed by the reviewing entity to determine if the structure contributes to the historic significance of the district by applying the following standards for evaluating significance within a registered historic district:

(a) A structure contributing to the historic significance of a district shall be defined as one that by location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association adds to the district's sense of time and place, and historical development.

(b) A structure not contributing to the historic significance of a district shall be defined as either of the following:

(1) One that does not add to the district's sense of time and place, and historical development; or

(2) one in which the location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association have been so altered or are so deteriorated that the overall integrity of the building has been irretrievably lost.

(c) A structure that has been built within the past 50 years shall not be considered to contribute to the significance of a district unless a strong justification concerning the structure's historical or architectural merit is given or the historical attributes of the district are considered to be less than 50 years old.

(d) If a rehabilitation tax credit is sought, a certification of significance shall be made based on the appearance and condition of the property before the rehabilitation was begun.

(e) If a nonhistoric surface material obscures a facade, the applicant may be required to remove a portion of the surface material before requesting certification so that a determination of historic significance can be made. After the material has been removed, if the obscured facade has retained substantial historic integrity and the property otherwise contributes to the historic district, the structure shall be determined to be a qualified historic structure.
