(55 ILCS 5/5-30018) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-30018)
Sec. 5-30018.
Certificate of appropriateness.
A certificate of
appropriateness from a preservation commission established pursuant to this
Division shall be required before any significant alteration, construction,
demolition or removal that affects pending or designated landmarks and
preservation districts is undertaken. Such a certificate is required for
all such actions from the date a nomination in proper form for designation
is submitted to the preservation commission. The preservation ordinance
enacted by the county board shall give the preservation commission one or
the other of the following powers:
(1) final authority to deny a certificate of appropriateness upon a finding
that the proposed action will adversely affect the historic, archaeological,
architectural, or scenic significance of a landmark or preservation
district; or (2) authority to delay the issuance of a certificate of
appropriateness for a reasonable period of time while negotiations between
the property owner and the preservation commission are undertaken to lessen
the effect of the proposed action on the historic, archaeological,
architectural, or scenic significance of the landmark or preservation
district. The preservation commission may hold a public hearing on an
application for a certificate of appropriateness in the same manner as
provided in Section 5-30014, and conduct the hearing
on appropriateness in the same manner as provided in Section 5-30015.
