Notwithstanding any other provision in this ordinance, if an owner of an area, parcel within as district, place, building, structure, work of art, or other object for which the commission has made a preliminary recommendation pursuant to Section 2-120-630 applies for a permit, and if the commission issues a preliminary disapproval of the application, pursuant to Sections 2-120-760 and 2-120-780, the commission shall schedule and conduct a public hearing on both the proposed designation and the application for permit and shall notify the city council of its recommendations thereon within 90 days of the date the application for permit is received by the commission. If the commission fails to make its recommendation on designation to the city council within 90 days, then the application for the permit shall be deemed approved by the commission. If the commission submits its recommendation within 90 days and the city council does not pass an ordinance granting the proposed designation within 90 days after the recommendation of the commission, then the application for permit shall be deemed approved by the commission.
