Stat. tit. 21, §280- Willfully Disturbing, Interfering With or Disrupting State Business, Agency Operations or Employees.

MEETING OF THE COMMISSION

The Oklahoma City Historic Preservation Commission meets once a month in City Council Chambers to conduct public hearings on applications for a Certificate of Appropriateness (henceforth known as a “CA”) for the “erection, moving, demolition, reconstruction, restoration, or alteration of any structure” within a Historic Preservation District.  These applications are reviewed by the Commission in keeping with the Preservation Guidelines and Standards for Oklahoma City Historic Districts in Oklahoma City.  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 have access to 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 Chairman will announce each case, and ask any party having an interest in the case to indicate their presence by raising their hand.
  • Commissioners will discuss the details of the case, calling on staff to provide details of the proposals. 
  • Following this discussion, Commissioners may choose to ask questions of the 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 approach the center podium one at a time, 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
Any person aggrieved by any decision granting or denying a CA may appeal to the Oklahoma City Board of Adjustment (BOA). All appeals shall be made within 10 days of the Commission decision by filing a written notice of appeal with the Clerk of the BOA. For more information about the BOA, call (405) 297-2289.
