The Commission requires that each application be presented by the published deadline to the Historic Preservation Officer with complete and detailed information on each element of the proposal requiring a CA. Please note the following procedures governing the actions of Staff and Commissioners.

The applicant will be entitled to one brief rebuttal. Interaction between applicant and protestants on the floor is not permitted. • Persons speaking are asked to approach the center podium one at a time, to introduce themselves by name and address, and to present their position as succinctly as possible. The Commission asks each speaker to limit his or her remarks to no more than five minutes. • Following the public hearing on an application, the Commission will take one of the following actions: 1. Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness; 2. Continue the proposal; 3. Deny the proposal with prejudice, which means the application may not be resubmitted for at least one year unless the Commission determines that circumstances have changed; and 4.
