Regulations established in this chapter shall not prevent alterations, demolition, or removal of a historical resource or historical landscape if the current conditions of said historical resource or historical landscape result in a threat to public safety or public infrastructure or if a distinct hazard, as defined in the California Fire Code, is found to exist. Threats to public safety are to be certified by the City’s Building Official pursuant to CVMC 15.18.010 and shall be provided in the form of a written notification to the HPC. The Director of Public Works has such authority over historical landscapes pursuant to CVMC 12.32.160 and the Fire Marshal has authority to certify if a distinct fire hazard exists. In those cases where the hazardous or unsafe condition does not pose an immediate threat to public safety, the HPC shall provide additional input on any proposed alterations or relocation of the subject historical resource. (Also see the City’s HPP Section 4.0, Historic Preservation Projects – Fire Protection of Historical Resources.) (Ord. 3196 § 3, 2011).
