As noted previously,the proposal changes the zoning designation of six properties from S-W to S-DR and removes the SR overlay zone designation from those properties.All of the properties are adjacent, across an alley,or across a street from land within a historic district,which appears to be the basis for Site Review being applied according to the existing language in Policy 2.Two historic districts overlap in the East Skinner Butte Neighborhood,one National Register (NR)and the other City Landmark (CL), which cover approximately the same geography.The NR and CL historic district boundaries are shown on Exhibit D:East Skinner Butte Historic District Map. The proposed text amendments provide an exception from the requirement to apply Site Review to properties that are across adjacent,across an alley,or across a street from land within a historic district if they are zoned S-DR.
