The Commission shall meet at regular intervals with advance notice posted according to the Texas Open Meeting Law. Additionally, meetings may be called upon request of the Chairman, or upon written request of three members, or upon notice from the Secretary of the Commission that a matter requires the consideration of the Commission. Applications for a building permit for a modification in a historic district or historic landmark shall be submitted to the Commission at least 14 days before the Commission's next scheduled meeting. The Commission shall take action on the application within 14 days of the scheduled meeting. If action thereon is not taken within 14 days of the scheduled meeting, it shall be deemed to have been recommended for approval, and a certificate showing the meeting date and the failure to take action on the application within 14 days shall be issued by the Commission on demand. The applicant may withdraw the application before the 14-day period expires and may resubmit it at a later time if additional time is required for the preparation of information or for research required by the Commission. A majority of the voting members shall constitute a quorum, and action taken at a meeting shall require the affirmative votes of a majority of the appointive members in attendance.
