11. Zoning Map Amendment Findings
Consistent with General Plan
Guiding Principle 2: “Pasadena’s historic resources will be preserved. Citywide, new development will be in harmony with and enhance Pasadena’s unique character and sense of place. New construction that could affect the integrity of historic resources will be compatible with, and differentiated from, the existing resource.”
Goal 8: “Preservation and enhancement of Pasadena’s cultural and historic buildings, landscapes, streets and districts as valued assets and important representations of its past and a source of community identity, and social, ecological and economic vitality.”
Would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City.
District would preserve the historic character of the area and ensure that future change is managed in a way that is compatible with that character.
