- Economic Hardship Application
In cases of undue economic hardship, HARC may allow the substitution of alternative construction materials for historic or traditional materials where the substitute materials are sufficiently similar to such historic or traditional materials so as not to detract from the original character of the historic district. For more information on this, please review City Code Section 102-186.
The applicant must submit a Building / HARC Application with the Economic Hardship Affidavit (PDF). The affidavit requires affirmation by a notary public to certify the applicant meets the above criteria with the submitted information.
