| After 2 years of work, and a lot of persistence on the part of many volunteers, more than 60% of the Pasadena residents of Historic Highlands have signed the petition to apply for the neighborhood to be designated a landmark district. The process of assembling and checking all of the documentation to accompany the petition and the application is now complete and submitted to the city. On October 1, 2007 the Historic Preservation Commission approved that the proposed Historic Highlands Landmark District met the criteria for designation as a landmark district, and recommended that the Planning Commission and City Council approve the Historic Highlands Landmark District designation and overlay zone. The Planning Commission met October 24, 2007 and approved a Zoning Map Amendment to designate the properties represented as a Landmark District. The Pasadena City Council met December 3rd, 2007 and unanimously approved Historic Highlands Neighborhood as a Landmark District. The City should be mailing Landmark District information to all residents in the Landmark District sometime in January-February 2008. Pasadena City Council approves Historic Highlands Neighborhood as a Landmark District! |
