[Chat] Re: [Discussion] RE: CV Historic District

Great!
 
Thanks, John, that explains the difference all right.  In DC, the  norm is 
that a historic district is first designated local (with review), then  national 
(mere formality).  
 
Also, I read with caution the Baltimore change of CHAP into the planning  
office.  DC did the same a few years ago with their equivalent (Hist Pres  
Division and HP Review Board), without first thinking through the enforcement  
issue; now that they are part of planning, they have no enforcement of  violations 
capability like they did when they were formerly with  DCRA.  I suspect the 
same will happen with CHAP.  
 
I was about to write a letter to the Sun concerning the same  thing!     
 
I'm sure CV has discussed becoming a local district in the past, but would  
it be appropriate to discuss the pros and cons again at this time?
