§ 3118.05. Duties.

The board of commission appeals shall hear and decide, in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, all appeals from any commission's denial of an application for a certificate of appropriateness or a certificate of approval for proposed construction, alteration or demolition of a structure, appurtenance or architectural feature of a listed property or in a district, including the East Franklinton District as provided for by C.C. 3323.09.

The board shall review such appeals by determining whether the applicant can establish by sufficient evidence whether a commission decision to deny an application for a certificate of appropriateness was arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable.

The board shall also have the authority to review claims of unusual and compelling circumstances and/or substantial economic hardship that have been raised by an applicant pursuant to the rehearing process outlined in Chapter 3116. The board shall consider appeals brought by persons affected by notice of violation citing a violation of this Planning and Historic Preservation Code or the Zoning Code relating to architectural review.
