(A) Proposals to establish a preservation district or to list an individual property structure, object, or work of art as a listed property under this subchapter may be initiated by the Board or received by the Board. Property owners, lessees, or persons having an interest in the property or duly authorized agents of such owners, lessees, or persons may propose their own property for listing, on a form provided by the Board.
(B) The Board shall consider the proposal in terms of the criteria provided in § 153.091 and shall make a recommendation of the majority of the Board to Council on such proposal. The rationale for establishing a preservation district or listing a property shall be set forth in writing along with supporting documentation.
(C) An individual property may be listed by the Board acting on its own behalf, with the written consent of the property owner. Where owner consent for an individual listing is not obtained, and in the case of all preservation districts, a public hearing shall be held by Village Council.
(D) Council shall give due consideration to the findings and recommendations of the Board in making its determination with respect to the proposed designation of preservation districts or listed property under this chapter. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, Council may designate the preservation district or listed property.
(E) After the decision by Council, the Board shall notify in writing any owner or any person having a legal or equitable interest in such property as identified in the application of the decision.
