Sec. 22.171.10. Procedures for Designation of Monuments. A site, building or structure may be designated as a Monument in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section. (a) Initiation. The City Council, the Commission or the Director may initiate consideration of a proposed designation of a site, building or structure as a Monument. Any initiation by the Council or the Commission shall be by majority vote. The City Council or the Commission shall forward the proposed designation to the Director for a report and recommendation. (b) Application. Any interested individual may apply for a proposed designation of a Monument. The applicant shall complete the application for the proposed designation on a form provided by the Department; include all information required; pay the required fee, if any; and file the application with the Department. (c) Action on the Initiation or Application. 1. Authority. The Commission may recommend approval or disapproval in whole or in part of an application or initiation of a proposed designation. Unless otherwise specified, the recommendation shall be made to the City Council for its action pursuant to the procedures set forth in this section. No designation of a site, building or structure as a Monument shall be effective unless the designation has been adopted by the City Council. 2. Procedure for City Council-Initiated Designations. Upon receipt of any proposed designation initiated by the Council, the Commission shall, pursuant to Section 22.171.8 of this article, inspect and investigate the proposed Council-initiated designation. The Director shall thereafter prepare a report and recommendation on the proposed designation. After receipt of the Director's report and recommendation, the Commission shall hold a public hearing regarding the proposed designation and determine whether the site, building or structure conforms with the definition of a Monument as set forth in Section 22.171.7 of this article. After the Commission submits a report and recommendation, the City Council may consider the matter. If the Commission recommends approval of a City Council- initiated designation, the City Council may adopt the designation by a majority vote. If the Commission recommends disapproval of a City Council-initiated designation, the City Council may adopt the proposed designation by a two-thirds vote.
