Commission reviews certificate of appropriateness page and timelines
Summary
Staff showed a certificate‑of‑appropriateness page explaining what work requires review, examples of routine maintenance that do not require a certificate, and the steps in the review and appeals process; commissioners asked for clearer language about landmark eligibility.
Monica (S3) reviewed the certificate‑of‑appropriateness page and said it will include a short description of what the certificate is and dropdowns explaining application steps. "So about the top, I have what is a certificate of appropriateness," she said as she pointed to the draft language.
She told commissioners that routine maintenance and in-kind repairs will be listed as work that does not require a certificate, and that the page will detail the review process. Monica also gave expected timeframes: "If it's something that requires y'all's approval, it takes about 3 to 5 weeks. If it's something that is just, staff's approval, it takes about 2 weeks." Commissioners asked that the language make clear the certificate applies to local historic landmarks and requested clearer wording so applicants need not read deeply to understand eligibility.
Monica said the site will also describe the appeals path if an applicant disagrees with the commission's decision.
