The City undertook a historical inventory of the 500 properties in the downtown district why hasn’t an inventory been prepared for the rest of the City?
As a result of the historic inventory of the downtown properties, 23 properties were determined to be possibly eligible for historic designation. Any proposed demolition or significant reconstruction of those structures would require a full historic assessment, however for the rest of the 477 properties, unless new information is presented, an historic assessment will not be required to complete CEQA evaluation for any discretionary projects on those sites. The key public policy issue is this: should the City undertake the inventory to provide clarity for property owners, or should the City continue to deal with it on an ad hoc basis? This policy decision is one that must be made by the City Council.
