According to Section 2-120-630 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, if the Commission issues a preliminary disapproval of an application within a preliminarily designated district, pursuant to Sections 2-120-760 and 2-120-780, the Commission shall schedule and conduct a public hearing on the application for permit and shall notify the City Council of its recommendations thereon within 90 days of the date the application for permit is received by the Commission.

Per Section 2-120-820, if City Council does'not pass an ordinance granting the proposed landmark designation within 90 days after the recommendation of the Commission, then the application for the above permit shall be deemed approved by the Commission.
