Article IV — Development Project Review

A. Resources nominated as landmarks and contributing resources. For purposes of this chapter, resources nominated as landmarks and contributing resources under section 17.604.220 shall be treated as if they are landmarks and contributing resources on the Sacramento register, and development projects involving these resources shall be subject to staff review under the general direction of the preservation director, a preservation director hearing or a preservation commission hearing pursuant to section 17.808.100 et seq.

B. Other resources within nominated historic districts. Resources within geographic areas nominated for consideration as historic districts that are not nominated or identified as potential contributing resources shall be treated as non-contributing resources in a historic district. Development projects involving these resources shall be subject to staff review under the general direction of the preservation director, a preservation director hearing or a preservation commission hearing pursuant to section 17.808.100 et seq. (Ord. 2013-0020 § 1; Ord. 2013-0007 § 1)

A. General. Except as provided below, the provisions of this title requiring site plan and design review by the preservation commission or the preservation director shall apply to development projects involving landmarks, contributing resources, or noncontributing resources that are owned by the city, including public projects within the Old Sacramento national historic landmark historic district; provided that the preservation commission or preservation director shall make a recommendation on the proposed project relative to standards and guidelines for historic properties review to the city council or other city decision-making body, entity, or person, rather than issuing a decision. When acting on city projects, the city council or other city decision-making body, entity, or person shall apply the same standards and guidelines, and shall make the same findings, required for private projects.

B. Exception. The council may, by resolution or ordinance, exempt from review by the preservation director or preservation commission individual city projects or categories of city projects. (Ord. 2013-0020 § 1; Ord. 2013-0007 § 1)
