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.

PUBLIC MEETING PROCEDURES • The Chairman will announce each case, and ask any party having an interest in the case to indicate their presence by raising their hand. • Commissioners will discuss the details of the case, calling on staff to provide details of the proposals. • Following this discussion, Commissioners may choose to ask questions of the parties present. • Interested persons may speak to support or protest the application.
