2.        The integrity of the visual order in the natural and human- built landscape, and the extent to which the landscape is free from visual encroachment;

3.        The degree to which visual aspects of the landscape ele- ments join to form a harmonious, composite, and visual pattern;

4.        Degree of the historical or cultural contribution to the area, state, or nation;

5.        Proximity and access of the proposed designated road to the historical place or area;

6.        Sufficient land area for a parkway to accommodate visi- tor facilities; and

7.        Evaluation by the Arizona Historical Advisory Commit- tee.

1.        Approve and recommend a designation by a majority vote, or

2.        Deny a request for designation.
