§17:10-21. RIGHT TO SELL DURING APPEAL
| |||||||
Any appeal which may be taken to court from the decision of any municipal agency whether instituted by the owner or any other proper party, shall not affect the right of the owner to make a bona fide offer to sell. | |||||||
§17:10-22. RECONSIDERATION OF DENIAL OF CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
| |||||||
The Commission may refuse to reconsider for a period of one year any disapproval of an application, except in cases where an applicant reapplies, with his application amended to comply with any recommendations which the Commission may have made in its written reasons for disapproval. The Commission may, however, reconsider at any time denial of a Certificate of Appropriateness for demolition if a significant change in circumstances has occurred. | |||||||
§17:10-23. APPLICATION TO GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES
| |||||||
It is recognized that the intent and purposes of this Article would not be fully served if the City were to control the actions of others but fail to apply similar constraints to itself. Accordingly, a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required before final approval of any City actions on public as well as private lands, streets, easements and rights-of-way. This requirement shall be deemed to include any action by any party which requires the approval or concurrence of the City or any City agency and which is not otherwise covered by the provisions of this chapter. | |||||||
In those circumstances where the City cannot require compliance, as in certain cases involving the County, State and Federal governments, the City urges, most strongly, the voluntary cooperation of such agencies in seeking a Certificate of Appropriateness and hereby authorizes the Commission to consider such requests and applications. | |||||||
§17:10-24. OTHER REQUIREMENTS UNAFFECTED
| |||||||
The requirements of this article shall be considered to be in addition to and in no case shall they be interpreted as a substitute for any other approval, permit or other action as otherwise provided for. | |||||||
§17:10-25. VIOLATION PENALTIES
| |||||||
