17VAC5-30-80: Revisions to properties listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register

Four justifications exist for altering a boundary of a property previously listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register:

1. Professional error in the initial nomination;

2. Loss of historic integrity;

3. Recognition of additional significance;

4. Additional research documenting that a larger or smaller area should be listed.

The board shall approve no enlargement of a boundary unless the additional area possesses previously unrecognized significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering or culture. The board shall approve no diminution of a boundary unless the properties being removed do not meet the Virginia Landmarks Register criteria for evaluation.
