The views of property owners and the general public are essential to informed decisionmaking in the historic preservation process established under the Act.
Advisory Neighborhood Commissions and historic preservation organizations play a crucial role in seeking recognition and protection of the cultural heritage of the District of Columbia, and in facilitating public involvement in the historic preservation process.
Members of the public as individuals and organizations are encouraged to participate fully and to express their views in the historic preservation process, including as parties in contested case hearings held pursuant to these regulations.
The officially adopted written views of Advisory Neighborhood Commissions shall be accorded great weight in the historic preservation process as provided in the ANC Act.
