Riverside Municipal Code § 19.195.010 Purpose

The Cultural Resources Overlay Zone (CR) is established to assist in implementation of the requirements of Title 20, Cultural Resources Code. It is intended that the CR Overlay Zone is to be applied to all properties designated as Cultural Resources, including properties within Historic Districts and Neighborhood Conservation Areas, and all individually designated Historic 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. The CR Overlay Zone is strictly an informational designation which serves to advise property owners, City staff, and the general public that a property is a designated Cultural Resource and, as such, is subject to all the requirements of Title 20.

(Ord. 7331 §16, 2016; Ord. 7022 §2, 2009)

The CR Overlay Zone does not change the use and development standards of the underlying base zone. For information, Title 20 requires that a Certificate of Appropriateness be approved to restore, rehabilitate, alter, develop, construct, demolish, remove or change the appearance of any cultural resource.
