Options:
1. If the City Council does not believe all prudent and feasible alternatives have been considered, they may request the applicant show proof of consideration and how the applicant plans to minimize harm. 2. If the City Council does believe that all prudent and feasible alternatives have been considered, they shall authorize city staff to send the required notice to the State Historical Preservation Office, Office of History, which shall change the historic designation of the property to “non-contributing” structure.
