Landmark Designation Process
LPC describes a designation process that includes research and a designation report, a commission vote (with designation effective upon vote), filing with the City Council and City Planning Commission, CPC review/report timing, and a City Council window to modify or disapprove. LPC materials also describe the mayoral veto and City Council override mechanics in this context.

In practice
Operators should treat pending designation as a "regulatory risk state" because design and permitting posture can change abruptly upon vote.
