The Potential-Landmark List consists of two components: a Potential-Landmark List: Exteriors; and a Potential-Landmark List: Public Interiors. Ord. 15-408

Only the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation may: add a structure and its appurtenant property to the Potential-Landmark List: Exteriors or the Potential-Landmark List: Public interiors; or for a structure already on the Potential-Landmark List: Exteriors, modify the boundaries of the appurtenant land or other property that is included in the Potential-Landmark designation. Ord. 15-408

The Potential-Landmark List: Exteriors comprises those structures that, in accordance with the Commission’s Historic Preservation Procedures and Guidelines, the Commission considers to be of such historical or architectural significance that, even if not located within a Historical and Architectural Preservation District or a Historical Conservation District, those structures and their exteriors (with or without, as the case may be, their appurtenant land and other property) should be extended temporary protection under <cite data-path="|6|§5-5">§ 5-5 {“Protections pending decision”} of this subtitle</cite> and under <cite data-path="|6|8">Subtitle 8 {“Alterations, etc, to or Affecting Properties”}</cite> of <cite data-path="|6">this article</cite>. The boundaries of a structure on the Potential-Landmark List: Exteriors are as indicated by the Commission, as follows:by street address, which indicates that all appurtenant land or other property at that street address and on the same lot is included in and protected by the Potential-Landmark designation; by Section, Block, and Lot Number, which indicates that all land or other property on that lot is included in the Potential-Landmark designation; or by a metes and bounds description or other clear delineation, which indicates that less than all land or other property at a street address or on a lot is included in the Potential-Landmark designation. The Potential-Landmark List: Public Interiors comprises those structures with public interiors that, in accordance with the Commission’s Historic Preservation Procedures and Guidelines, the Commission considers to be of such historical or architectural significance that, whether or not within a Historical and Architectural Preservation District or a Historical Conservation District, those public interiors should be extended temporary protection under <cite data-path="|6|§5-5">§ 5-5 {“Protections pending decision”} of this subtitle</cite> and under <cite data-path="|6|8">Subtitle 8 {“Alterations, etc, to or Affecting Properties”}</cite> of <cite data-path="|6">this article</cite>.

A proposal to add a structure to the Potential-Landmark List must comply with the following procedures. The Commission’s Chair or the Executive Director must give notice of a public hearing to be held by the Commission on the proposal, as follows:by causing a sign to be conspicuously posted on the structure; and by first-class mail to each person who appears on the tax records of the City as an owner of the subject property. The notice must include:a statement that the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation proposes to add the structure to the Potential-Landmark List: Exteriors or Potential-Landmark List: Public Interiors, as the case may be; the proposed date, time, and place of the public hearing to be held on the proposal; and the Commission’s contact information (including a phone number) for obtaining additional information on the proposal and updated information on the date, time, and place of the hearing. The public hearing must be held on a date that is:no sooner than 30 days from the time the sign is posted; and except as agreed to by the owner of the subject property, no later than 60 days from the time the sign is posted. At the end of the public hearing, the Commission must render its decision on whether to include the structure on the Potential-Landmark List.
