As stipulated in the Landmarks Ordinance, permit approval expires
within 180 days unless the authorized work has begun. The Pier
Restoration Corporation (PRC) and Ash Grove tenants have been
delayed in obtaining Coastal Commission appravals for a variety
of reasons. This project is scheduled ta go before the Coastal
Commission in April. Therefore, the PRC and the Ash Grove tenant
have been unable to begin work an the project within the time
specified in the Certificate of Appropriaten~ss. Canstruction is
now expectad to begin in May or June of this year.
When the application for the Certificate of Appropriateness was
presented to the Landmarks Commission~ this potential delay of
required approvals was noted. The Commission, at that time,
recommended that the City Council extend the Certificate appraval
by resolutian for the maximum 180 day periad if it appeared the
approval would expire. If the Certificate of Appropriateness is
not extended, th~ PRC and tenants would be r~quired to resubmit a
Certificate of Appropriateness application. The resubmitted
Certificate of Appropriateness application would restart the
Landmarks Commission appro~al process. As stated in Section
9.36.250 of the Landmarks Ordinance, Certificate of
Appropriaten~ss appravals may only be extended by City Council
resolution upon a recommendation o€ the Landmarks Commission.
