FLORIDA BUILDING CODE: ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS
AND METHODS FOR SPECIAL HISTORIC BUILDINGS
The Florida Building Code, the regulations used by building officials for
the inspection and approval of any building permits, includes a section
addressing the special authority of the Building Official over matters
concerning retrofitting "qualified historic buildings" under Chapter
3401.5 of the 2001 Florida Building Code. Those alternatives must
achieve equivalency with the requirements in the technical codes. The
Building Official is guided by the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings in his/
her consideration of any alternatives.
01)\-9-/
A"qualified historic building" is either:
• Individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places;
• A contributing property in a National Register-listed historic district; oi\NJ:11-111
• Designated as a historic property under the provisions of the Delray
Beach Historic Preservation Ordinance;
• A contributing property within a local historic district designated under
the provisions of the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Ordinance;
or,
• Determined eligible by the Florida State Historic Preservation Officer,
either individually or as a contributing building or structure in a district,
for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
Should the need for alternative building materials or methods for retrofitting
a historic property arise in relation to meeting the current building codes,
contact the city's Historic Preservation Planner for further information.
