In most cases, a "Form B" of an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness requires a Public Hearing. A Public Hearing enables neighbors and others to express their views and comments on a proposed alteration (e. g. for building additions, outbuildings, swimming pools, driveways, parking lots, etc.). Legal notices are to be prepared for Public Hearings and publicized in a newspaper in the area not more than 15 or less than 5 days before a Public Hearing.
