Sec. 307.103. - Designation of landmarks, landmark sites and historic districts.

By ordinance, the City Council may designate landmarks, landmark sites and historic districts located within the City of Jacksonville. Each designation of a landmark shall include a designation of a landmark site and each designation of an historic district shall include an identification of the contributing structures within the historic district. Each designation of an historic district shall set forth the design guidelines that apply to the historic district and the actions that would require a certificate of appropriateness. Any actions affecting a landmark or landmark site that would require a certificate of appropriateness shall be reviewed for consistency with the Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. Except where noted in this Chapter to the contrary, the vote of a majority shall be required for decisions involving designation of landmarks, landmark sites and historic districts. When an owner objects to an application involving designation of the owner's property as a landmark or landmark site, recommendation of approval by the Commission and approval of City Council shall require a majority vote plus one vote.
