The owner of any property designated as a landmark shall undertake no new construction on the landmark property or within a designated Landmark District without a Certificate of Appropriateness issued by the Architectural Board of Review. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, only architectural design compatible with other historic buildings in approved Landmark Districts in the City shall be approved for any new construction by the Architectural Board of Review in Landmark Districts. However, the Architectural Board of Review can petition City Council in writing to waive this requirement, which can come into effect provided Council hears advice and recommendations from a representative of the Landmark Commission and a majority of Council permits this waiver.
