(A) A simple majority vote by the Pittsfield Historic Preservation Advisory Committee will be required for approval of COA designation. The Committee shall notify the applicants of its decision within five days after the public meeting. Upon approval of the application, the Committee shall direct the Planning Department to issue signed COA to the applicant with copies forwarded to the Building Inspector. The COA takes effect 14 days following Committee approval.
(B) A COA shall be invalid if changes in the plans reviewed by the Committee are necessary in obtaining a building permit or if the building permit issued for the same work becomes invalid. The certificate of appropriateness remains valid for the same period of validity as the building permit.
