On November 27, 2012, the City Council initially adopted the historic property zoning incentives ordinance (Ordinance No. 2012-19). It is scheduled for final adoption December 11, 2012. These zoning incentives will be available for use by City-listed historic properties.
The City Planning and Community Development Department has recently completed the Draft Volume III City Historic Building Survey. Properties have been studied and determined eligible for inclusion in the Volume III Survey and on the City’s Historic Building List. If a property is officially listed, its owner will be eligible to benefit from special zoning incentives for historic properties.
Two public workshops regarding these materials will be held December 12, 2012, and January 9, 2013, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Police Department Community Room, 55 Center Street, Santa Cruz.
