How does a residential neighborhood become designated as Historic Property zoning overlay in the district category for multiple properties?
The Historic Preservation Commission (Commission) has been researching Scottsdale subdivisions to determine which neighborhoods are the best examples of their type and have maintained their historic character. The Commission will use this research to identify the neighborhoods that are eligible for being added to the local register and are the most significant neighborhood districts. A majority of the property owners (75%) in a proposed residential district can petition to have their neighborhood considered for the Scottsdale Historic Register. Once eligibility has been determined, local homeowner support is a very important part of the nomination process for designating a neighborhood district.
