A. The purpose of this chapter is to establish a Crescent Heights Historic District Specific Plan to guide the orderly development of that portion of the city which is designated SP-11 on the official zoning map of the city. Chapter 3, Article 8 of the State Planning and Zoning Law, authorizes the preparation and adoption of the specific plan. The Crescent Heights Historic District Specific Plan replaces the usual development standards otherwise applicable to property within the SP-11 district, and serves as a basis for the city to consider and act upon more detailed development proposals submitted by landowners and developers.
B. The Crescent Heights Historic District Specific Plan provides guidelines, concepts, regulations and conditions for relocating historically significant dwellings to the Crescent Heights Historic District as well as guidelines for modifications to historic buildings and the new construction of dwellings which are compatible with the historic buildings in the district. This chapter will implement the city's General Plan objectives, policies and programs as they pertain to the SP-11 area, and establish consistency between the general plan and zoning ordinance.
