PLANNING CASES: PC-2026-00128 (Dedesignation)
FINDINGS:
• Rezone Findings pursuant to Chapter 19.810.040
a) The removal of the CR Overlay Zone is generally consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan. The zoning map amendment specifically meets Objective HP -4.0 of the Historic Preservation Element of the General Plan 2025, "To fully integrate the consideration of cultural resources as a major aspect of the City's planning, permitting and development activities." The removal of the CR Overlay Zone ensures that all persons involved in planning, permitting, and development are aware of the fact that the properties are no longer designated cultural resources.
b) The removal of the CR Overlay Zone will not adversely affect surrounding properties because it is only applied to properties within designated Historic Districts and Neighborhood Conservation Areas, and individually designated Landmarks and Structures of Merit. The CR Overlay Zone may not be applied to any property, which is not a designated Cultural Resource pursuant to Title 20.
c) The removal of the CR Overlay Zone promotes public health, safety, and general welfare and serves the goals and purposes of the Zoning Code because it assists staff and the public in knowing the requirements of Title 20, Cultural Resources, of the Municipal Code are no longer applicable . All other development and use standards of the base zone are not affected.
