5.4.13 The City shall develop a definition, criteria, and a process to
formally identify historic residential neighborhoods.

5.4.14 New dwellings and additions in formally recognized historic
residential neighborhoods must contain exterior architectural features
that relate to the historic period of surrounding dwellings. Examples
of this are: street-facing porch, comparable roof slope, horizontal
wood siding, and overall design features including trim, windows, and
structure.

5.4.15 Removal of significant public trees in historic residential areas
or historically designated properties should only occur when these
trees endanger life or property.

5.4.16 The City of Corvallis shall continue efforts to recognize and
encourage the formation of national and local historic districts.

5.4.17 Specific codes may be adopted and applied to discrete areas
of the city in order to preserve desired neighborhood characteristics.
This may require rezoning or identification of historic resources not yet
formally identified as Historic Structures.

5.4.18 The City’s density goals and preservation of neighborhood
character may be considered and balanced when zoning patterns are
considered by the City.

5.4.19 The process for review of Historic Preservation Permits shall
be described in the Land Development Code. Property owners within
historic districts, or owners of individually-listed historic properties,
shall consult with City staff when contemplating exterior alterations,
new construction or demolition of structures on their properties. City
staff shall advise property owners on the correct review process for the
contemplated changes. Any such changes shall be reviewed consistent
with the applicable Land Development Code provisions.
