(A) Initiation of nominations.
(1) The city must initiate all local nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. The city and the Board of Architectural Review shall submit recommendations on each proposed nomination to the National Register. The Board shall obtain comments from the public that shall be included in their National Register recommendations.
(2) Within sixty (60) days of the receipt of a nomination from a private individual or the initiation of a nomination by the city, the city shall inform the Kentucky Heritage Council and the owner of the property of the two recommendations regarding the eligibility of the property. If the Board and the city do not agree, both opinions shall be forwarded in the city's report. If both the Board and the city do not agree that a property should be nominated, the Kentucky Heritage Council will inform the property-owner, the Kentucky Historic Preservation Review Board and the State Historic Preservation Officer, and the property will not be nominated unless an appeal is filed with the State Historic Preservation Officer.
(B) Review of nomination. If the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board agree that a property should be nominated or if either of them feels that a property should be nominated, the nomination will receive a preliminary review by the Kentucky Historic Preservation Review Board. The Kentucky Historic Preservation Review Board shall make a recommendation to the State Historic Preservation Officer who decides whether to forward the nomination to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, who shall make the decision on listing the property on the National Register. The Commission, the Board or the property-owner may appeal the final decision by the State Historic Preservation Officer.
