CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 7, 2003 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Daryl Parrish, City Manager Historic Preservation Officer Item #1 SUBJECT: Approve Amendment to the Historic Preservation Ordinance Regarding Rescission of or Amendments to Designations of Landmarks, Historic Properties and Historic and/or Scenic or Urban Conservation Districts. DATE: September 30, 2003 BACKGROUND: On January 8, 2003 direction was given to staff by the Historic Preservation Commission to amend the Historic Preservation Ordinance to include the process for a request for rescission of a designated Historic Landmark. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: In the Historic Preservation Ordinance, Section 15.40.080(8)(10) provides that the amendment or rescission of any designation shall be in the same manner and procedures as was followed in the original designation. Staff reviewed and determined that the section that outlines the procedure for rescission should be deleted and restated. The changes address the concerns of the Historic Preservation Commission to allow the owner of a designated historic resource to request rescission of a landmark designation. The Historic Preservation Commission reviewed the ordinance at the commission meeting of September 18, 2003. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The designation of this historic landmark will create no financial impact to the City. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) and Section 15331 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of an ordinance amending chapter 15.40 of the City of Colton Municipal Code regarding rescission of or amendments to designations of landmarks, historic properties and historic and/or scenic or urban conservation districts.
