If,within 14 days,the applicant addresses the reasons for denial and modifies their project as
detailed below,and files these modifications with the Commission,the Commission shall,within a
reasonable time period,issue a Certificate of Appropriateness. A Certificate of Appropriateness,with
appropriate dimensional,set-back and other requirements and conditions cannot be issued without these
modifications because the project,as described,does not meet the criteria. These requirements are only for

patterns of surrounding buildings and avoid mirrored or highly reflective glass:

and heights,high quality views of landmark buildings:
3. The historic and architectural value and significance of the site,buildings or structure,including: avoid
exterior or facade changes to buildings that would damage historic features or are not otherwise
readily reversible except when such changes replicate historic features,restore previously damaged
historical features,or are otherwise compatible with the detail and character of the district:
If the Commission denies a Certificate of Appropriateness or if an applicant applies dir.r 1 for Certificate of
Hardship the Commission should address how the project meets or fails to meet all the hardship criteria:
1. Conditions especially affecting the building or structures involved but not affecting the historic district
generally:
