The County's historic preservation ordinance requires the submittal of a Survey and Research Report for each property under cansideratian for Local Landmark status. Property awners can arrange with presenration staff to complete the Survey if one is not already on file. The Research Report is an in-depth ana{ysis of the history and architectural significance of the site, similar ta the report used to naminate a property for the National Register of Historic Places. (See preservation staff for a sample NR namination.) If the site is listed in the Nationa! Register, the appiicant may submit the completed nomination farm for use as the Research Repart. Piease note, however, that the LLP and the Nationa! Register of Historic Places are two entirely distinct and separate programs. Pages 2-3 of the Local Landrnark application are designed to pravide the applicant with the basic framework to prepare a Research Report. Some applicants, particularly those with experience in chain of title research, may be able to provide sufficient Informatian in the application to serve as the Report. Others may need to hire a consultant to research and write the histary and architectura!description af the property. Appllcants with little or no historic or architectural information on their property shouid contact preservation staff ta discuss different options far completing this portion of the application. Once the a�plication form (Pages 2-3)and the Survey and Research Report are completed, preservation staff will submit the application materials to the HPC far its next reguiar meeting.
