BACKGROUND: In November 1993, when the County received the Maple Hill nomination to the National Register (HP-1-93) , the Planning Staff became aware that the process for reviewing National Register nominations is not contained in the Historic Preservation Ordinance. A new Article 4 is proposed to duplicate in the Ordinance the requirements of the Certified Local Govenment Agreement (see attachment) pertaining to the review of National Register nominations by Orange County and the Division of Archives and History. The notification and public hearing measures proposed are the same as those currently required for designating historic landmarks. Comments were solicited from the State Historic Preservation Office (see attached letter from Lloyd Childers) . The original draft was revised to include minor changes to the wording of the amendment. RECOMMENDATION: The public hearing is the time scheduled for presentation of the Planning Staff's recommendation.
