A. The city council finds and declares that significant aspects of the city's rich and diverse historic resources deserve recognition and preservation to foster an understanding of our heritage, and to promote the public health and safety and the economic and general welfare of the people of the city. The preservation and continued use of historic resources are effective tools to sustain and revitalize neighborhoods and business districts within the city, enhance the city's economic, cultural and aesthetic standing, its identity and its livability, marketability and urban character.
B. The city council further finds and declares that the purpose of this chapter is as follows:
1. To establish a city preservation program, commission and staff, to implement the preservation element of the city's general plan;
2. To provide mechanisms, through surveys, nominations and other available means, to identify significant historic, prehistoric and cultural resources, structures, districts, sites, landscapes and properties within the city;
3. To provide mechanisms and procedures to protect and encourage the preservation of the city's historic and cultural resources; and
4. To provide standards, criteria and processes, consistent with state and federal preservation standards and criteria, for the identification, protection and assistance in the preservation, maintenance and use of historic and cultural resources.
C. The city council further finds and declares that the administrative responsibilities of the preservation program established under this chapter shall be assigned to a preservation commission, a preservation director, and preservation staff as follows:
1. The preservation commission's primary responsibilities are to develop and recommend to the council preservation policies appropriate for inclusion in the general plan and other regulatory plans and programs of the city and to provide oversight relative to the maintenance and integrity of the Sacramento register of historic and cultural resources. The preservation commission shall review, nominate and make recommendations to the council on properties eligible for listing in the Sacramento register as landmarks, historic districts and contributing resources as set forth in this chapter. The preservation commission's role in reviewing development projects shall be limited to hearing projects of major significance and appeals of the preservation director's decisions as set forth in this chapter.
2. The primary responsibilities of the preservation director shall be to manage the preservation program; conduct surveys; make preliminary determinations relative to properties' eligibility for listing on the Sacramento register, the potential for listing on the California Register relative to discretionary development project review under CEQA, and maintain and update the Sacramento register; review and take action on development project applications as set forth in this title; manage incentive programs as established by the council; and advise property owners, the public, city departments, and other governmental agencies on preservation standards and incentives.
3. The primary responsibilities of the preservation staff under the general direction of the preservation director shall be to coordinate surveys, inventories, and nominations to the Sacramento register, make recommendations to the preservation director on the eligibility of properties for listing on the Sacramento register and California Register relative to discretionary development project review and relative to proposals to demolish structures 50 years old and older, and review and take action on development project applications, as set forth in this chapter. (Ord. 2013-0020 § 1; Ord. 2013-0007 § 1)
A. The ordinances adopting designations and deletions of landmarks, contributing resources and historic districts shall be known, collectively, as the "Sacramento register of historic and cultural resources" or the "Sacramento register."
B. The original Sacramento register and any subsequent amendments, inclusions, or deletions thereto shall be on file with the city clerk.
C. All structures and preservation areas designated on the official register as of the date of enactment of Ordinance No. 2001-027 and on the Sacramento register as of the date of enactment of the ordinance codified in this chapter are included on the Sacramento register of historic and cultural resources (Sacramento register). All structures individually designated on the official register as essential or priority structures are designated landmarks on the Sacramento register, and shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions applicable to landmarks. All geographic areas previously designated as preservation areas designated on the official register are designated as historic districts on the Sacramento register, and are subject to the restrictions and conditions applicable to historic districts.
D. The preservation director shall take appropriate steps to ensure that the Sacramento register is properly maintained, regularly updated, distributed to city staff as necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this chapter, and made available to the public. The preservation director shall also take appropriate steps to maintain and regularly update a list or compilation of resources within the city that are on the California Register of Historical Resources or the National Register of Historic Places, and to make the list or compilation available for public review and use. (Ord. 2013-0020 § 1; Ord. 2013-0007 § 1)
