§ 13-21.4. Procedure for Designation of Historical Monuments.

The Historical Advisory Board shall:

a.

Inspect and investigate any site, building, structure or group of structures, areas of special character, or special historical architectural, or aesthetic interest or value in the City which it has reason to believe meets the one or more of the criteria for Historical Monument designation.

b.

Consider the property of an owner who feels that his/her property should be designed or undesignated a Historical Monument and who requests that the Board study his/her property and who submits supporting documentation with the request.

c.

Recommend to the City Council that such sites, buildings, structures or group of structures be designated or undesignated an Historical Monument. Recommendations shall contain a brief description of the site, building, structure, or significant horticultural development, the reasons for each recommendation, and a brief report on the consultation with the owner:

1.

At least ten (10) days prior to the City Council taking any action to designate or undesignate any property as an Historical Monument provide notification in the following manner: post at least one (1) notice on the property involved, mail a notice to the property owner and any tenants of the property, and all other property owners within three hundred (300') feet of the subject property as shown on the latest assessment roll, and any other parties that have requested notification.

2.

The City Council's action shall be transmitted to the City Clerk and Recreation and Parks, Public Works and Fire Departments of the City. Notice that a property is a Historical Monument with special rights and limitations shall be recorded for each affected property with the Office of the County Recorder of Alameda County.
