All proposals for actions subject to review by the Historical Commission shall provide sufficiently detailed plans and drawings to enable the Historical Commission or Planning Department staff to determine that the construction is consistent with the Neighborhood Conservation Guidelines and Historic Overlay Zone Standards. 31
