California State Housing Laws and Preservation Pla

Description

Every city in California is abuzz these days with talk about the requirements of the State’s housing laws. What are they and how do they each define and treat historic properties? What are cities doing to respond to these important laws while simultaneously working to protect historic properties? Representatives from planning departments in cities such as Sacramento, San Francisco, and Santa Monica will discuss their efforts to update historic preservation ordinances, historic surveys, and local inventories/registers and to produce objective design standards. We will also hear from the planning consultants and an attorney, all of whom will provide guidance and lessons learned to date about responding to the housing laws. Q&A with audience members will take place at the end of the seminar.
