15 <br />Following the public hearing, and upon receipt of the <br />report and recommendations, the Board of Commissioners may <br />proceed in the same manner as required for the adoption of <br />any zoning ordinance provisions. Article 20.7 of the Zoning <br />Ordinance requires the Board of Commissioners to await the <br />recommendation of the Planning Board or the passage of 6.0 <br />days, which ever occurs first. This provision.has been <br />amended to require the Board of Commissioners to await the <br />recommendation of the Commission. The Planning Board <br />recommendation will have already been prepared and submitted <br />to the Commission. <br />In her 317191 letter, Beth Thomas of NCDCR questions <br />whether the 180 -day waiting period set forth in Section 4.9 <br />must.be observed prior to the demolition of any building, <br />structure, site, area or object in a historic district. G.S. <br />160A -400.5 makes reference to a waiting period only for <br />landmarks. While there is no equivalent wording in the <br />statutes for structures, etc. in districts, G.S. 160A- 400.14 <br />is very specific in making the delay period applicable to a <br />"designated landmark or a building, structure or site within <br />the district... ". For this reason, the ordinance wording is <br />left unchanged. <br />
