If the city council approves the requested amendment or rescission, the <br />city clerk shall, within thirty (30) days, cause to be recorded in the office of the county recorder <br />notice that the historic designation for such resource or district has been amended or deleted <br />from the city's register of historic resources and districts. If the city council denies the requested <br />amendment or rescission, it may review the request again after one (1) year, or sooner if there <br />are substantial changes made to the original request. <br />Section 15.40.100 Application to historic preservation commission for certificate <br />of appropriateness and certificate of hardship. <br />A. Certificate of Appropriateness for Alterations, New Construction, Moving, <br />Subdivisions, Lot Splits, and Signs. <br />1. A certificate of appropriateness issued by the commission or the <br />preservation officer is required for any exterior alteration to any designated historic resource, for <br />new construction on the site of a designated historic resource, for the moving of a historic <br />resource, and for a lot split or subdivision of a historic resource. A certificate of appropriateness <br />shall be required to erect or relocate any sign which is in a designated historic district or <br />associated with a structure in a historic district. New construction on any property located in a <br />historic district shall also require a certificate of appropriateness. The community development <br />department shall direct applicants for building permits and sign permits for designated historic <br />resources and districts to apply for a certificate of appropriateness from the commission through <br />the preservation officer. No building, alteration, subdivision, demolition, or removal permits for <br />any exterior improvement, sign, building, or structure within a historic resource or district shall be <br />issued while the public hearing for designation or any appeal related thereto is pending except <br />where a certificate of appropriateness has been secured. <br />2. Applicants are encouraged first to consult with community development <br />department staff about using the design guidelines before submitting a formal application. Any <br />application for a certificate of appropriateness shall be made on a form prescribed by the <br />preservation officer and shall be accompanied by a fee set by resolution of the city council. The <br />application shall include the information required by the preservation officer, including, but not <br />limited to, elevation drawings of the proposed alterations, samples of proposed colors and <br />materials, plan view for new construction, and color photographs of all sides of any existing <br />structures on the site. <br />3. The preservation officer shall use a "preservation check list" to determine <br />if the proposal is "minor" or "major," and shall use the design guidelines to determine if the <br />proposal is compatible with the existing resource and surrounding designated resources, if any. <br />All requests for new construction, subdivision, lot splits, demolitions, or moving of a historic <br />resource shall be considered a major alteration. Applications for a certificate of appropriateness <br />for major alterations shall be reviewed and approved by the commission. <br />4. A certificate of appropriateness for minor improvements where proposed <br />work does not adversely affect the exterior architectural features of the designated historic <br />resource nor adversely affect the character or historical, architectural, or aesthetic interest or <br />value of the designated historic resource and its site, may be approved by the preservation <br />officer. Alterations in designated historic districts may be approved by the preservation officer <br />except that major alterations to designated historic districts, as defined in subsection 3 above, <br />shall be reviewed by the commission. <br />RVPUB\NGS\673308.1 - 10- <br />
