				Improvement and Zoning Commission.
The Capitol-Medical Center
				Improvement and Zoning Commission shall not act on any plan, zoning

				Districts without first notifying the Board of Review and receiving their
				recommendations in accordance with the provisions in this Subchapter.
(b)
Role of the Historical Preservation
				and Landmark Board of Review.
(1) The
				initiation of a proposal of designation may be made by the Board of Review, the
				Commission or an application of the owner(s) of the parcel to be designated or
				their authorized agents. Any such application shall be made upon forms or
				pursuant to standards set by the Commission for this purpose.
(2) Upon receipt by the Board of Review of a
				notice that an application has been made for a zoning change, general plan
				amendment or a permit for the construction, moving, demolition, or
				reconstruction of any structure in a Historic Preservation or Historical
				Landmark district, the Board of Review shall give public notice of the meeting
				to consider the application to every property owner within 300 feet of the
				exterior boundary of the property being considered. The applicant shall be
				advised of the time and place of said meeting and shall be invited to appear.
				The Board of Review may invite such other persons or groups as it desires to
				attend the meeting. A Board of Review member shall be disqualified from
				consideration of any matter in which his own financial interest are directly
				involved.
(3) The Board may solicit
				and present expert testimony or documentary evidence regarding the historical,
				architectural, archaeological, or cultural importance of the property proposed
				for designation.
(4) As part of
				every such designation, or amendment of a designation, the Board shall state in
				written form the attributes relative to and comply with the review criteria for
				district designations as provided in this Subchapter.
(5) Within 10 days after the approval by the
				Commission a zoning change designating property as a landmark district or a
				historic district, the Director of the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and
				Zoning Commission shall notify the owner or owners of record by certified mail
				with return receipt requested of the designation, including a copy of the
				designation approval, a letter outlining the basis for the designation, and the
				obligations for restrictions that result from such designation. The Director of
				the Commission shall also officially notify the Board of all approvals or
				disapprovals of designations at the next regular meeting of the Board following
				such Commission action.
(6) The
				Board shall have the authority to effect the amendment or repeal of any
				designation or site, structure, building, district or monument in the same
				manner and according to the same procedure as provided herein for the original
				designation.
(7) No application for
				a permit to construct, alter, demolish, or relocate any characteristic or a
				designated site, building, structure, district, or monument filed subsequent to
				the day that an application has been filed or a resolution adopted to initiate
				designation of said proposed landmark or historic district shall be approved by
				the Commission while proceedings are pending regarding such historical
				designation application, unless such work is determined by the Board to be
				essential to the preservation or stabilization of the resource and such work
				will not detrimentally alter the exterior appearance of the resource.
