Pasadena’s Department of Planning and Community Development is hosting a virtual workshop on Wednesday, July 1, to gather public input that will help the department as it undertakes a review of the City’s current Historic Preservation ordinance.
Earlier, the Pasadena City Council directed the department to update the current ordinance, Chapter 17.62 of the Pasadena Municipal Code, to address community concerns and ensure that it reflects “best practices in the field of historic preservation.”
“Everyone is encouraged to review the current ordinance and provide comments on changes that you believe should be made to the ordinance,” the Planning Department said in a notice about Wednesday’s workshop. “Staff will provide all comments received to the decision-makers for consideration during the update process.”
During the virtual workshop, staff from the Planning Department will summarize the current Historic Preservation Ordinance, answer questions and receive comments. They will then consolidate these inputs and report back to the City Council.
Wednesday’s workshop on Zoom begins at 5 p.m. Any member of the public can decide to join by visiting this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87164273465 or by calling (669) 900-6833. The webinar ID is 871 6427 3465.
Following the informational workshop, public hearings will be held before the Historic Preservation Commission, Planning Commission and City Council to review the proposed updates and receive additional public comments.
