In addition, the Board is empowered to consider applications for certificate of appropriateness pursuant the Landmark and Historic District Act to determine whether the proposed material change will be appropriate to the preservation of the district or the landmark in view of the purposes of the Landmark and Historic District Act. In passing upon appropriateness, the Board takes into consideration the historical and architectural style, general design, arrangement, texture, material and color of the building component or sign involved and its relationship to other structures in the immediate neighborhood.
