and relationships between doors and windows should be compatible with
the architectural style and character of the landmark and with surrounding
structures within a historic district.

Every action for which a Certificate of Appropriateness is required pursuant to Section
420.430 shall require the submission of a written application to the Landmarks Commission. Any applicant may request a meeting with the Landmarks Commission before or during the review of the application. Application for review of construction, alteration, demolition, or removal for which a Certificate of Appropriateness is required shall be made on a form prepared by the Landmarks Commission and available at the office of the City Clerk. Applications shall include drawings, specifications, and such other relevant information as may be requested by the Landmarks Commission. The Landmarks Commission shall consider the completed application at its next regular meeting. The Landmarks Commission may call a special meeting to review routine applications for a Certificate of Appropriateness when delay to the next regular meeting would create an unnecessary inconvenience to the applicant. A Certificate of Appropriateness may be issued or, if previously issued, modified prior to the next regular meeting upon the signatures of three (3) of the members of the Landmarks Commission.
[Ord. No. 1212 §1, 9-6-1995]
The Landmarks Commission shall review the application for a
Certificate of Appropriateness and issue or deny the Certificate of
Appropriateness within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the application.
Written notice of the approval or denial of the application for a
Certificate of Appropriateness shall be provided to the applicant
within seven (7) days following the determination and shall be accompanied
by a Certificate of Appropriateness in the case of an approval.
[Ord. No. 1212 §1, 9-6-1995]
A. In
considering an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness, the
Landmarks Commission shall be guided by the following general standards
in addition to any design guidelines in the ordinance designating
the landmark or historic district:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use
for a property that requires minimal alteration of the building, structure,
or site and its environment, or to allow use of a property for its
originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building,
structure, or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The
removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural
feature should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products
of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and that
seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes that may have taken place in the course of time are evidence
of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and
its environment. These changes may have acquired significance in their
own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features are examples of skilled craftsmanship
that characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated
with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than
replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary,
the new material should match the material being replaced in composition,
design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement
of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplication
of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence,
rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different
architectural elements from other buildings or structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest
means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will
damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to, any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties
shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not
destroy significant historical, architectural, or cultural material,
and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, material,
and character of the property, neighborhood, or environment.
10. Recognition shall be given to the need for greater flexibility in
the permitted design and means of construction or repair of structures
located in areas classified for commercial uses, in contrast with
more rigorous standards which may be appropriate in residential areas.
11. Every reasonable effort shall be made to enable the preservation
and expansion of the economic productivity of commercial enterprises
located within areas classified for such use, including the construction
of new structures where space permits and if compatible and in harmony
with the prevailing character or architectural style of the local
area.
[Ord. No. 1212 §1, 9-6-1995]
A denial of a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be accompanied
by a written statement of the reasons for the denial. The Landmarks
Commission shall make recommendations to the applicant concerning
changes, if any, in the proposed action that would cause the Landmarks
Commission to reconsider its denial and shall confer with the applicant
and attempt to resolve as quickly as possible the differences between
the owner and the Landmarks Commission. The applicant may resubmit
an amended application that takes into consideration the recommendations
of the Landmarks Commission.
[Ord. No. 1212 §1, 9-6-1995]
A. After denial of a Certificate of Appropriateness, an applicant may submit an Application for a Certificate of Economic Hardship. Such application shall be made on a form prepared by the Landmarks Commission and available from the office of the City Clerk. The Landmarks Commission shall schedule a public hearing concerning the application and provide notice in the same manner as provided in Section
420.340 of this Article and as otherwise provided by law for meetings of public bodies, and any person may testify at the hearing concerning economic hardship in the same manner as provided in Section
420.340 of this Article.
B. The
Landmarks Commission may solicit expert testimony or require that
the applicant for a Certificate of Economic Hardship make submissions
concerning any or all of the following information before it makes
a determination on the application:
1. Estimate of the cost of the proposed construction, alteration, demolition,
or removal and an estimate of any additional cost that would be incurred
to comply with the recommendations of the Landmarks Commission for
changes necessary for the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness;
2. A report from a licensed structural engineer or architect or other
construction professional with experience in rehabilitation as to
the structural soundness of any structures on the property and their
suitability for rehabilitation;
3. Estimated market value of the property in its current condition;
after completion of the proposed construction, alteration, demolition,
or removal; after any changes recommended by the Landmarks Commission;
and, in the case of a proposed demolition, after renovation of the
existing property for continued use;
4. In the case of a proposed demolition, an estimate from an architect,
developer, real estate consultant, appraiser, or other real estate
professional experienced in rehabilitation as to the economic feasibility
of rehabilitation or reuse of the structure;
5. Assessed value of the property according to the two (2) most recent
ad valorem tax assessments;
6. Real estate taxes for the previous two (2) years;
7. Form of ownership or operation of the property, whether sole proprietorship,
for-profit or not-for-profit corporation, limited liability company,
limited partnership, joint venture, or other;
8. Any other information considered necessary by the Landmarks Commission
to make a determination as to whether the property does yield, or
may yield, a reasonable return to the owner.
C. In
addition to the foregoing information which the Landmarks Commission
may solicit or require the applicant to provide, the applicant may
provide the following information with respect to any application
for a Certificate of Economic Hardship:
1. Amount paid for the property, the date of purchase, and the party
from whom purchased, including a description of the relationship,
if any, between the owner of record or applicant and the person from
whom the property was purchased, and any terms of financing between
the seller and buyer;
2. If the property is income-producing, the annual gross income from
the property for the previous two (2) years; itemized operating and
maintenance expenses for the previous two (2) years; and depreciation
deduction and annual cash flow before and after debt service, if any,
during the same period;
3. Remaining balance on any mortgage or other financing secured by the
property and annual debt service, if any, for the previous two (2)
years;
4. Appraisals obtained within the previous two (2) years by the owner
or applicant in connection with the purchase, financing, or ownership
of the property; and
5. Any listing of the property for sale or rent, price asked, and offers
received, if any, within the previous two (2) years.
[Ord. No. 1212 §1, 9-6-1995]
A. The
Landmarks Commission shall review all the evidence and information
required of an application for a Certificate of Economic Hardship
and make a determination within forty-five (45) days of receipt of
the application whether the denial of a Certificate of Appropriateness
has deprived, or will deprive, the owner of the property of reasonable
use of, or economic return on, the property. Written notice of the
determination shall be provided to the applicant within seven (7)
days following the determination and shall be accompanied by a Certificate
of Economic Hardship in the event of an approval.
B. If
a Certificate of Economic Hardship is issued, the applicant may take
the actions authorized therein as if a Certificate of Appropriateness
had been issued.
[Ord. No. 1212 §1, 9-6-1995]

[Ord. No. 1212 §1, 9-6-1995]
A determination by the Landmarks Commission that an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness or Certificate of Economic Hardship be granted or denied may be appealed by any person aggrieved by the determination or by any officer, department, board or bureau of the City affected by any decision of the Landmarks Commission, in the same manner as provided by Section
