141 <br /> N.C. Department of Cultural Resources (NCDCR) for review and <br /> comment. NCDCR has 30 days within which to comment or the <br /> Commission and Board of Commissioners may proceed without the <br /> need to consider such comment. Requiring NCDCR comment before <br /> final consideration of the designation report insures that <br /> the Commission takes into account all information pertinent <br /> to the designation. <br /> Section 2.5 Review by the Planning Board <br /> With respect to the initial establishment of a historic <br /> district, the designation report and the review comments of <br /> the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources shall be referred <br /> to the Planning Board for its review and comment. The <br /> Commission may also, in its discretion, refer the report and <br /> the proposed boundaries to any other interested body for its <br /> recommendations. Failure of the Planning Board to provide its <br /> comments to the Commission within forty-five (45) calendar <br /> days after a request for such comments has been received by <br /> the Planning Board shall relieve the commission of any <br /> responsibility for awaiting such comments. <br /> Changes in the boundaries of an initial district or <br /> proposals for additional districts shall also be submitted to <br /> the Planning Board in accordance with the provisions this <br /> Section. <br /> Review by the Planning Board is not required by the <br /> enabling legislation but is required so that both boards will <br /> benefit from the exchange of information/ideas. The 45-day <br /> comment period allows the Planing Board to consider the <br /> report at two meetings. <br /> Section 2.6 Final Consideration of Designation Report by <br /> commission <br /> Upon receipt of comments from the N.C. Department of <br /> Cultural Resources, or the expiration of the 30-day period <br /> specified in Section 2.4, and the Planning Board, the <br /> commission may recommend to the Board of County Commissioners <br /> that the historic district be designated. <br /> Prior to the meeting of the Commission at which the <br /> recommendation will be considered, written notice shall be <br /> sent to all affected property owners in accordance with the <br /> notification procedures set forth in Section 2.3 above. <br /> If the Commission recommends that the historic district <br /> be designated, it shall submit a copy of the designation <br /> report, the comments of the N.C. Department of Cultural <br /> Resources and the Planning Board, and the minutes of the <br />
