The Commission shall file certificates of appropriateness, notices to proceed, orders to restore and denials of applications with the City Manager or other delegated authority. A certificate of appropriateness nor a notice to proceed shall not be issued until the Commission has acted as prescribed by this chapter. If an application is denied, the decision shall be binding on the City Manager or other authority. A denial shall be accompanied with a written explanation by the Commission of the reasons for denial and, if appropriate, a notice that an application may be resubmitted for Commission review when suggested changes have been made. The denial shall also include notification of the applicant's rights of appeal to the City Council and to the circuit court. The failure of the Commission to act within 60 calendar days after the date a complete application is filed with the Commission, unless an extension is agreed upon in writing by the applicant and the Commission, shall be considered to constitute approval of the application.
