(A) With regards to the Commission’s decision to approve a proposal for designation of an individual landmark or district, an appeal from the Commission shall be taken by any person or entity claiming to be injured or aggrieved by the final action of the Commission to the Jefferson Circuit Court within 90 days of the Commission’s final action, which shall be defined as the date on which the Commission votes to approve the matter giving rise to the appeal. If the Council initiates review of the Commission’s decision on a proposal for designation of an individual landmark or district, then no appeal shall be filed until the Council makes its decision on said proposal. The property owner, applicant, and the Commission shall be named as parties to the appeal.
(B) Appeals from final actions of the Commission, except for the approval of designations of either individual landmarks or districts, shall be taken by any person or entity claiming to be injured or aggrieved by the final action of the Commission to the Jefferson Circuit Court within 30 days of the Commission’s final action. The property owner, applicant and the Commission shall be named as parties to the appeal.
(C) An appeal from the Council shall be taken by any person or entity claiming to be injured or aggrieved by the final action of the Council to the Jefferson Circuit Court within 30 days of the Council’s final action, which shall be defined as the date on which the Council votes to uphold, amend, or overturn the decision of the Commission on the proposed designation. Should the Council fail to take action on a proposal for designation of an individual landmark within the 150-day period as provided in § 32.260(Q), then the Council’s failure to act shall result in the Commission’s decision becoming final and effective as a matter of law and any appeal shall be taken within 30 days of the expiration of that 150- day period. The property owner, applicant, Commission and the Council shall be named as parties to the appeal.
