The other three members are appointed by the County Council, the Planning Board and the Recreation and Parks Board. The LPC usually meets on the second Thursday of each month. Special meetings of the Commission are scheduled as necessary.
All meetings are open to the public.
The tentative agenda for each meeting is available, by Thursday of the preceding week, at the Office of Planning, and on the Office's Internet Home Page. Either through the hearings or through scheduled opportunities during the meeting before the Board votes, citizens can participate by offering verbal or written testimony. By vote of the Commission, structures are placed on the Preliminary Landmarks List and County Historic Districts are proposed. Sites on the Landmarks List must be of significant historical, architectural, archeological or cultural value. An area may be considered for Historic District designation, upon petition by the owners of 75 percent of the area.
