Introduction This bill would impose a timeline on designation of landmarks, interior landmarks, scenic landmarks, and historic districts. For individual landmarks, the bill would require the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) to designate a property as a landmark within one year of calendaring the property for consideration, with the option for a one year extension with owner consent. For historic districts the time period would be two years from the time the property is calendared. Lastly, the bill would require LPC to make a determination on whether to designate items (both individual landmarks and historic districts) that are currently on the calendar within 18 months of the effective date of the local law. In all cases, if LPC disapproves or fails to designate any item, the property in question would be automatically removed from the calendar.

Referred to Comm by Council   Action details Not available Int 1216-2016 * Rafael L. Espinal, Jr. ~SPONSOR Consumer Affairs Allowing service stations with certain technologies to simultaneously fill their storage tanks while dispensing gas to customers.

This local law would permit those gas stations that have such technology to allow customers to dispense gas while the station’s tank is being refueled.
