Latest version.
  • In considering an application for a certificate of appropriateness, the HPO and the HLC shall review it for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and any applicable adopted design guidelines previously ratified by the city council. The standards and any applicable adopted design guidelines shall apply in all zones within the city bearing the suffix "HD" or individual properties bearing the suffix "HL."

    All review criteria shall be made available to the applicant, property owners of landmarks and properties located within districts. The HLC shall promulgate and make recommendations to update the adopted design guidelines as necessary, provided that the changes do not pose a conflict with underlying land-use zoning and the changes do not take effect until ratified by the city council.
