Cultural Heritage Board action on all items may be appealed to the City Council within ten calendar days. Contact the Planning Division for further information. State law restricts the Cultural Heritage Board from taking action on an item unless it has been included on an agenda and posted at least 72 hours in advance of a meeting, or unless the matter falls within one of the narrow exceptions. Consequently, any item not listed on this agenda will normally have to be delayed until the item can be made part of a posted agenda. Additionally, significant changes to a project made subsequent to posting of the agenda and not addressed in the Cultural Heritage Board staff report will result in continuance of that item in order to allow for adequate review by the Commission.
