04 ( <br /> HPC will rank the eligibility of sites from this group.) Over six hundred sites of historic <br /> significance are identified in the County's historic resources survey. A small number of <br /> these sites may eventually achieve landmark status; however, the National Register and <br /> NRSL sites will comprise the selection group for designation during the initial years of <br /> the program. <br /> The Historic Preservation Commission will select sites to recommend for landmark <br /> designation. The selection will be based on evaluation criteria developed by the HPC. <br /> The Commission has developed a Historic Sites Scoring Criteria as a method to rank the <br /> quality of resources. This ranking will result in a priority list, consisting of ten to fifteen <br /> sites and will be updated annually. The number of sites selected annually for designation <br /> will depend upon the availability of funding from the Board of Commissioners. After a <br /> site is earmarked, a designation report is prepared. If the site is determined to be eligible <br /> for the National Register, the report will consist of a National Register nomination form. <br /> If the site is ineligible for National Register consideration, but otherwise significant and <br /> worthy of local landmark status,a local designation report is required. <br /> Upon completion of the landmark designation report, it must be submitted to the State <br /> Historic Preservation Office for comment. Review and comment by the SHPO will occur <br /> before the HPC`s recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. <br /> The county's historic preservation ordinance outlines the specific steps of the landmark <br /> designation procedure. The HPC will recommend a historic landmark designation to the <br /> Board of Commissioners and request a public hearing on the draft designation ordinance. A <br /> joint public hearing will be held quarterly during the calendar year to consider <br /> recommended sites. Sites that are recommended for listing on the National Register of <br /> Historic Places Md local landmark designation undergo a slightly different procedure that <br /> will entail both state and federal review and approval. <br /> 4 <br /> Effect of the Low of Revenue from Fifty Percent Tax Deferral <br /> Should the Board of Commissioners choose to establish a landmarks designation program, <br /> the benefit of a fifty percent tax deferral to landmark property owners would result in a <br /> small loss of revenue from the general fund. Based on 1997 property assessments, the first <br /> year tax revenue loss if all National Register and National Register Study List sites (a <br /> total of 46 properties)were locally designated would be $12,223.10. However,this loss in <br /> revenue is minuscule in comparison to total revenues generated by property taxes, and <br /> represents 0.023%of total property tax revenues. <br /> Another consideration is whether to allow the fifty percent tax deferral benefit for landmark <br /> property owners who are currently receiving the tax deferment for forest or farm use. <br /> Allowing the dual deferment would not significantly increase the revenue loss incurred by <br /> landmark designation,but it would serve as an additional incentive for a property owner to <br /> participate in the designation program. Any minor tax revenue loss could be offset by an <br /> 3 <br />
