Historic District Plans

Historic District Plans have been prepared for nearly all of the City’s listed historic districts. Historic District Plans are specified within the 2040 General Plan, the Central City Specific Plan implementation measures, and City Code Section 17.604.300. The Historic District Plans include historic context, period of significance, character defining features, and design standards and criteria that help guide future development within these historic parts of the city.

Check the address to determine if the property is within a historic district, which historic district applies, and if the property is a contributing resource, by visiting the Planning Land Use Information portal.
