Demolition or removal of any existing building within the Capitol Complex Historic Zone (CCHZ), Arsenal Zone (ARZ), or East Campus Zone (ECZ), is prohibited without the express written approval of the Capitol Planning Commission.
The CPC shall direct the Maine Historic Preservation Commission to review and comment on any proposed demolition within these zones. The MHPC shall offer recommendations for mitigation.
The CPC shall only consider demolition if such demolition or removal is called for in the Augusta State Facilities Master Plan, and/or, in the case of a building or structure, if there is no feasible and prudent alternative for re-use, either as a stand alone building or as expanded. The CPC shall approve an application for demolition only after all other options for retaining and using the building or structure have been fully explored.
