An owner or operator may make application for preservation heritage land status at any time prior to receiving notice of a public improvement hearing. Upon receiving notice of a public improvement hearing, any owner or operator desiring preservation heritage land status shall make application to the city for approval of the status. The application shall be filed with the City Clerk no later than the date set for the public improvement hearing. If the application has not been timely made and approved, the land shall not qualify as preservation heritage land and shall not qualify for the benefits described in § 150.36 or any of the other benefits described in this subchapter. The City Board shall make a determination as to whether the land qualifies for preservation heritage status within 45 days after the public improvement hearing or within 45 days of the first regular City Board meeting after receipt of the application if the application is not made in connection with a public improvement hearing.
