§ 33.85 INTERIM PROTECTION.
   (A)   When submitting a map to the Town Council under § 33.84, the Commission may declare one or more areas, sites, buildings, or structures that are classified and designated as historic on the map to be under interim protection.
   (B)   Not more than two working days after declaring a building, structure, or site to be under interim protection under this section, the Commission shall, by personal delivery or first class mail, provide the owner or occupant of the building, structure, or site with a written notice of the declaration. The written notice must:
      (1)   Cite the authority of the Commission to put the building, structure, or site under interim protection under this section:
      (2)   Explain the effect of putting the building, structure, or site under interim protection; and
      (3)   Indicate that the interim protection is temporary.
   (C)   A building or structure put under interim protection under division (A) above remains under interim protection until the map is:
      (1)   Submitted to; and
      (2)   Approved in an ordinance or rejected by the Town Council.
   (D)   While a building, structure, or site is under interim protection under this section:
      (1)   The building, structure, or site may not be demolished, changed, or moved; and
      (2)   The site or exterior appearance of a building, structure, or site may not be conspicuously changed by:
         (a)   Addition;
         (b)   Reconstruction; or
         (c)   Alteration, which includes the change of contours.
   (E)   The Commission may approve a certificate of appropriateness at any time during the period of interim protection, provided the proposed change meets the criteria for considering effect of actions on historic buildings in § 33.86(D) and any proposed preservation guidelines prepared for the building, structure, or site, but the certificate of appropriateness shall have no effect, and no action may be taken pursuant thereto, unless the map including the building, structure or site is approved by the Town Council.
