(A) The Commission shall take appropriate steps to notify all public agencies and public utilities which own or may acquire property, including easements and public rights-of-way, in the city about the existence and character of designated historic resources and historic districts, and the Commission shall cause a current record of such resources and districts to be maintained with each such public agency and public utility. All such designated resources and districts shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter regardless of ownership.
(B) In the case of publicly owned properties which are not subject to the permit review procedures of the city, including this chapter, but are more than 50 years of age or are located within any historic district, the agency owning the said property is encouraged to seek the advice of the Commission prior to approval or authorization of any construction, alteration, or demolition thereon, including the use and placement of street furniture, signs, lighting, and landscaping; and, the Commission shall render a report to the owner as expeditiously as possible, based on the purposes and standards in this chapter. If Commission review of a public project involving construction, alteration, or demolition of any building, structure, object or site is required under any other law, the Commission may render the report referred to in this section to such public agencies without specific request therefor.
