Latest version.
  • The following provisions apply to applications for and issuance of certificates of appropriateness as defined in Subsection 3359.05(C)(1), Design Review. The commission shall also adopt rules of procedure outlining in further detail the requirements for submission of applications and issuance of certificates of appropriateness. Such rules of procedure will be published and made available to applicants.

    A)

    Any person seeking a certificate of appropriateness in the downtown district shall file an application with commission staff using the city's application form prepared for such use. Applications must be accompanied by required support materials, such as site plans, elevations and other information intended to describe the proposal as outlined by the commission.

    B)

    Commission staff shall review each application to determine its completeness. The commission shall consider complete applications submitted by the established deadline at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

    C)

    At the public meeting the commission shall approve, approve with conditions or deny the application. Applicants may also request that the application be tabled until a future meeting.

    D)

    Applicants shall receive written notice of commission action. Applications that are approved or approved conditionally shall receive a certificate of appropriateness reflecting the approval and any associated conditions.

    E)

    Applicants may also request that the commission consider a conceptual proposal for which no certificate of appropriateness is sought and no official action is taken. Such requests shall comply with the rules of procedure established by the commission.
