Inventory may encourage maintenance and rehabilitation of older buildings and neighborhoods
by allowing property owners to utilize tax incentives and the State Historic Building Code for
repair and rehabilitation which can mean savings in energy, time, money, and raw materials.

historic resources is a critical step in the planning process.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Historic Preservation Board further finds and
concludes that:
1. The proposed historic resource inventory properties possess significant aesthetic, architectural,
cultural, or engineering interest or value of an historical nature.
2. An undue hardship has not been demonstrated by the owners of the properties proposed for
designation
3. Approval of the identified properties for addition to the historic resource inventory properties is
consistent with the purposes and criteria of City of Campbell Historic Preservation Ordinance and
the General Plan.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Historic Preservation Board recommends Planning
