SALT LAKE CITY HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION

The Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) reviews all applications for landmark sites, demolition and new construction within locally-designated historic districts. They do not review interior work or exterior paint color, only exterior alterations. The majority of the projects presented to the HLC are either approved as submitted or with modifications.

Demolition of a structure individually listed on the Salt Lake City Register of Cultural Resources is only allowed in two instances: If the Historic Landmark Commission determines that the denial of demolition would cause an economic hardship to the owner. If the building official determines that the building poses a threat to public health and safety. The procedure for determining economic hardship is a separate process.
