proceed to the public hearing on the question of the proposed designa- tion and may defer action in its discretion while consent is being solic- ited. 0) The application for designation and all accompanying submissions shall be reviewed and studied by the Commission prior to its decision. The Commission shall give due consideration to the advice of the Her- itage Advisory Board, such consents to designation and comments as have been filed with it, and the views as may have been expressed by persons participating in the hearing before the Commission, as well as any other relevant information brought before the Commission, in mak- ing its decision with respect to the proposed designation of each HPD or HP by a majority vote of its members. (k) The Commission shall determine whether said area, place, site, building(s), public interior portions of a building, structure(s), works of art and other objects shall be designated as an HPD or HP. In the event the owner of a property nominated as an HP, or each owner within a district nominated as an HPD, does not consent to designation, the Commission may only designate an HP or HPD by a vote of at least five of its members, or otherwise the Commission may designate an HP or HPD by a majority vote of a quorum of its members. Regardless of any current National Register of Historic Places status, an HPD or HP must be locally determined by the Commission for this chapter to ap- ply. (1) The Commission may approve by majority vote unique historic guidelines for a created district or a specific historic property. The Commission shall schedule a public hearing on the question of such guidelines, which may be a separate hearing or which may coincide with a hearing for nomination or designation. If specific architectural guidelines are not created, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation shall apply to an HPD or HP for Architectural Board of Review purposes. (m) Applications for nomination and designation which have been de- nied by the Commission may be resubmitted by the original applicant within ten (10) days from the date of ruling, if a request is made in writing by the applicant setting forth the grounds thereof. If the Com- mission determines by vote that valid grounds have been submitted, a rehearing shall be granted. If the request is not made within ten (10) days from date of ruling, no application on the same proposed HPD or HP may be made to the Commission by any party for a period of six (6) months from the date the original application was denied. The filing of an application for a rehearing shall not be deemed to extend the time permitted by law for the filing of an appeal to the Courts. (n) Notice Procedures for Public Hearing on Nomination or Desiena- tion: (1) Notice of any public hearing called under this chapter shall be made in accordance with Lakewood Codified Ordinances no less than seven (7) days before the hearing; said notice shall state the time, place and purpose of the hearing in accordance with Chapter 107 (Publication of Legal Notices) of the ordinances.
