§ 4-13-1.1-11 — State construction of facilities

Indiana § 4-13-1.1-11

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 13: ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT OF STATE
• Ch. 1.1: Location of State Agencies in Downtown Areas

Text

(a) The policy established by the department
under section 6 of this chapter must give secondary consideration to
state construction of facilities within a downtown area if the restoration
or reuse, or both, of existing structures within a downtown area is not
determined to be a reasonable alternative by the department.
(b) With regard to state constructed facilities, the policy established
by the department must provide that reasonable efforts shall be made
to:
(1) make the scale and facade of the structure maintain the
architectural integrity of the existing streetscape;
(2) ensure that the structure meets the federal Americans with
Disabilities Act requirements in an aesthetically pleasing manner;
(3) deny a request from a state agency to locate or to relocate
outside a downtown area unless it is documented that no
reasonable alternative exists. Lack of onsite parking is not alone
sufficient documentation when alternative parking is available in
a downtown area; and
(4) coordinate the location of state constructed facilities with
existing public and private sector organizations committed to
community development, downtown revitalization, and historic
preservation.
