2018-07-27 09:32:03 650-667-xxxx Hi, it's Brian from VOCA. This week's question is about historic districts in Redwood City. BACKGROUND: Historic districts are neighborhoods designated by City Hall for having value from old buildings with recognizable architectural features. New construction and remodels in historic districts require city approval to ensure the district's character is maintained. City Hall is studying making parts of Mount Carmel neighborhood a historic district, and may adopt guidelines that would allow other neighborhoods to become historic districts as well. QUESTION: From 1 (strongly oppose) to 5 (strongly support), please rate the statement, "Redwood City should create historic districts in neighborhoods with high concentrations of pre-1945 buildings." Comments welcome but not required. PROS AND CONS: - Proponents argue historic districts protect against old homes being replaced by buildings that maximize square footage without regard for neighborhood style. - Opponents argue historic districts are burdensome to younger and future homeowners who want the ability to expand or replace smaller or rundown homes.
