intended to provide a means of deciding and communicating which propertes are in the pubiic
interest to protect. The three-tiered system for recagnitiart takes into account the relative
imporlance of Ne range of histonc resources that exist in the county. The basic level of
recognition by the County is listing on an inventory. Listinq on the Pitkin County Historic
Invemory has no regulatlon associated with d(with the exception of a demolition pertnit as
required on all propertie; in the County), unless the property owner voluntarily agrees to

regulation of demolition and eMerior rehabilitation work. RegisMr properties are also eligible for
an arrey of optional incentives as well as the base incentives proviAed by the County to ass�st in
