BALLOT TITLE AND SUMMARY
Prepared by the City Attorney

 AN INITIATIVE MEASURE AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE
BY ADDING A SECTION REQUIRING OWNERS' CONSENT

FOR DESIGNATION OF PROPERTIES IN THE SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL (R-1) DISTRICT AS LANDMARKS OR STRUCTURES
OF MERIT AND FOR INCLUSION OF PARCELS IN THE R-1
DISTRICT WITHIN HISTORIC DISTRICTS


            
     This measure would amend the City's Landmarks and Historic Districts Ordinance by requiring the consent of property owners before structures in the Single Family Residential District (R1) could be designated as Landmarks or Structures of Merit.  Owners' consent would also be required before parcels in the R1 district could be designated as Landmark Parcels or included within an Historic District.  The  requirement of owners' consent would apply to designations made after January 1, 2002.  The measure would require that owners' consent be recorded and would make the consent binding on subsequent owners.
