(A) The Board's area of concern shall be limited to the historic district. The Board shall be concerned with those elements of development, redevelopment, rehabilitation, or preservation that affect the visual characteristics of the historic area.
(B) The Board may not make any requirement except for the purpose of preventing development, alterations, or demolitions which are obviously incongruous with the historic district. The Board may not consider details of design, interior arrangements, or building features if those details, arrangements, or features are not subject to public view.
(C) The Board may make rules specifying certain types of architectural improvements as permissible uses throughout the historic district without a specific vote of the Board of Review concerning each particular location. When such improvements are applied for, the Building Inspector may immediately issue a building permit and certificate of appropriateness for the improvement without bringing such improvement before the Board of Review for a vote, unless the Building Inspector believes that at that particular location the improvement would be inconsistent with the purposes of this chapter, in which case he would schedule the application for a certificate of appropriateness for the next meeting of the Historic District Board of Review.
