Chapter 3.31 – Historic Preservation Overlay
The application of a Historic Preservation Overlay (HPO) zoning
designation is the formal action used to implement the listing of a historic
resource in the Corvallis Local Register. No formal action is necessary
to regulate designated historic resources listed in the National Register,
though most individually-listed National Register resources are also
listed on the Local Register. The process, by which an HPO is applied,
including the applicable review criteria, is outlined in Chapter 2.2 - Zone
Changes of the LDC. In most cases, the application or removal of an
HPO includes a public hearing and approval by the Historic Resources
Commission. However, an HPO may be removed administratively
without the need for a public hearing in some circumstances, such as if
the HPO was placed upon the property without owner consent. More
information about the specific conditions to administratively remove
a Historic Preservation Overlay zoning designation can be found in the
Land Development Code Section 2.2.50.
