The requirements of this subsection shall not apply to historic resources designated as community landmarks. 3. Whenever the commission rejects the nomination of a historic resource under consideration for designation as a landmark, it shall, within 14 calendar days of the public meeting at which the decision is made, issue a written decision including findings of fact and reasons supporting its determination that the criteria in SDC 21.06.080C. have not been met.
