       DISTRICT
       Recommendation of City Manager:   It is recommended that the City
       Council:
       (1)    Acknowledge that the application for a zone change to create a
       landmark district is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant
       to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (Section 15308:
       Class 8, Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment).
       (2)    Acknowledge the decision of the Historic Preservation Commission on
       October 4, 2004, that the Crawfords Vista Landmark District meets the
       criteria for designation (Pasadena Municipal Code Section 17.52.40).
       (3)    Acknowledge the finding of the Planning Commission that the proposed
       zone change is consistent with the General Plan (Objective 6 of the Land Use
       Element, "to promote preservation of historically and architecturally significant
       buildings and revitalization of traditional neighborhoods.") and the purposes
       of the Zoning Ordinance (Pasadena Municipal Code Section 17.04.030,
       "preserve the character and quality of residential neighborhoods.").
       (4)    Approve the landmark district, the zoning map overlay and the chapter
       amendment to the Design Guidelines for Historic Districts for the Crawfords
       Vista Landmark District, LD-8.
       (5)    Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance amending the official
       zoning map of the City of Pasadena established by Section 17.08.040 of the
       Pasadena Municipal Code to designate the landmark district with the LD-8
       overlay zone.
       Recommendation of Historic Preservation Commission:   On October 4,
       2004, the Historic Preservation Commission determined that the proposed
       district meets the criteria in the Pasadena Municipal Code Section 17.52.040
       for establishment of a landmark district and voted unanimously to
       recommend approval of the amendment to the zoning map and the
       designation to the Planning Commission and the City Council.
       Recommendation of Planning Commission:    Following a public hearing
       on December 8, 2004, the Planning Commission found that the proposed
       zone change to create a landmark district is consistent with the General Plan
       and the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance and voted unanimously to
       recommend that the City Council approve the amendment to the zoning map
       for the Crawfords Vista Landmark District.
