NOTICE: The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) will consider amendments to its Rules of Procedure (ROP) at its April 8, 2024 regular meeting to address inconsistencies under applicable state law.
The HLC will consider amendments to its ROP that make clear the following: (1) every Ordinance designating a Landmark remains in effect unless and until it is repealed or rescinded by the relevant local government board (following a recommendation to do so from the HLC); and (2) that a property owner must apply for and obtain a COA from the HLC for all new construction on a Landmark, including on the designated land of a Landmark following the loss of a designated structure. Additionally, the HLC will consider an amendment that requires the HLC to (1) assess the continued significance of a designated historic landmark after a building or buildings that are part of that landmark have been lost; and (2) determine whether or not to recommend to the local governing board that the ordinance designating that landmark be repealed or rescinded.
