PLANNING CASE PR-2025-001821 - TITLE 20 AMENDMENT
Proposal by the City of Riverside to amend Ti tle 20 (Cultural Resources) of the Riverside Municipal Code and remove Section 20.30.030 (Historic Preservation Fund). Scott Watson, Historic Preservation Officer, presented the staff report. There were no Public Comments.
Following discussion it was moved by Bo ard Member Brown and seconded by Board Member Gamble to recommend that the City Council: 1) Determine that Planning Case PR-2025-001821 is exempt from further Calif ornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to Sections 15308 (Actions to Protect Environment), 15060(c)(2) (No Physical Change), 15060(c)(3) (Not A Projec t), and 15061(b)(3) (General Rule), as the proposed amendment will cause no direct or indirect change to the environment, does not meet the definition of a Project under CEQA, and it can be seen with certainty that the proposed amendment will not have an effect on the environment; 2) Approve Planning Case PR-2025-001821 (Title 20 Text Am endment) as outlined in the staff report and summarized in the Findings Section of this report; and 3) Introduce, and subsequently adopt, an Ordinance amending Title 20 (Cultu ral Resources) of the Riverside Municipal Code.
