Section 170. Boundary changes

The director or the board may initiate the process for changing the boundaries of a previously listed Virginia Landmarks Register property upon concluding that one or more of the conditions set out in 17VAC5-30-70 has been met. In addition, any person or organization may petition in writing to have a boundary changed.

A boundary alteration shall be considered as a new property nomination. In the case of boundary enlargements the notification procedures set out in Part IV (17VAC5-30-100 et seq.) shall apply. However, only the additional area proposed for inclusion in the Virginia Landmarks Register shall be used to determine the property owners and the adjacent property owners to receive notification pursuant to 17VAC5-30-100 and 17VAC5-30-110. Only the owners of the property in the additional area shall be counted in determining whether a majority of owners object to listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register. In the case of a proposed diminution of a boundary, the director shall notify the property owners and the chief elected local official and give them at least 30 days to comment prior to formal action by the board.
