The Oklahoma City Historic Preservation Commission meets once a month to conduct public hearings on applications for a Certificate of Appropriateness (“CA”) changes within Preservation/Landmark Districts. Applications are reviewed by the Commission in keeping with the Preservation Guidelines and Standards for Oklahoma City Historic Districts. The Commission requires that each application be presented by the published deadline to the Historic Preservation Officer with complete and detailed information on each element of the proposal requiring a CA. Please note the following procedures governing the actions of Staff and Commissioners.

MEETING PREPARATION
Commissioners are provided a complete copy of all applications and staff reports several days before the meeting, so they may review proposals and visit project sites. Incomplete applications may not be forwarded to Commission for review.  Applications with incomplete documentation are subject to continuance or denial.  Late or additional documentation may not be accepted at the meeting.

 
PUBLIC MEETING PROCEDURES
The City encourages participation in the public meeting from the residents of Oklahoma City. The City Council Chamber will be closed and the only alternative to participate in the meeting will be by video conference. Below are instructions on how to access the meeting and how to request to speak on certain agenda items. Participants may join the meeting via Zoom using the URL on the cover page of this agenda, or via telephone by calling the numbers printed on the cover page of this agenda.

To speak on a certain agenda item, place a call in advance of the meeting to (405) 297-1624 or e-mail [email protected]. Include your name, the agenda item number and the reason you would like to speak (protest, representing applicant, request continuance, i.e.). Please submit your request prior to
the beginning of the meeting to avoid receiving your request after your item has been considered. City staff will attempt to submit requests received during the meeting to the Chair. Please press *6 to speak when recognized by the Chair. The Chair will announce at the beginning of the meeting that if connections are lost, the City will attempt to restore communications for a maximum of 30 minutes and if communications cannot be restored, the meeting will reconvene at a certain date, time and place. If you are disconnected from the video conference, please try again before calling 405-297-1624.

The Chairman will announce each case, and Commissioners will discuss details of the case, calling on staff for details. Following this discussion, Commissioners may choose to ask questions of parties present.
  • Interested persons may speak to support or protest the application. The applicant will be entitled to one brief rebuttal. 
  • Interaction between applicant and protestants on the floor is not permitted.
  • Persons speaking are asked to introduce themselves by name and address, and to present their position as succinctly as possible.
  • The Commission asks each speaker to limit his or her remarks to no more than five minutes.
  • Following the public hearing on an application the Commission will take one of the following actions:
  1.  Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness; 
  2.  Continue the proposal;
  3.  Deny the proposal with prejudice, which means the application may not be resubmitted for at least one year unless the Commission determines that circumstances have changed; and
  4.  Deny the proposal without prejudice, which means the applicant may reapply at any time.

CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS
When an application has been approved, and after a 10 ­day protest period has expired, the Historic Preservation Officer will mail the CA to the applicant. City Construction Permits cannot be issued until the CA has been issued.
Contact HP staff for final design review inspection or to withdraw items that will not be completed.

APPEAL TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
