PLANNING CASE PR-2025-001800 (AMD): Proposal by the City of Riverside to

amend Title 20 (Cultural Resources) of the Riverside Municipal Code to clarify that

all cultural resources, including Neighborhood Conservation Areas and Structures of

Merit, are Historic Resources, affirming that they are ineligible for SB 9 urban lot

split and two-unit developments pursuant to Section 65852.21(a)(5) and Section

66411.7(a)(3). The Community & Economic Development Department recommends

that the Cultural Heritage Board recommend that the City Council determine that this

proposal is exempt from further California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review

pursuant to Sections 15308 (Actions to Protect Environment), 15060(c)(2) (No

Physical Change), 15060(c)(3) (Not A Project), and 15061(b)(3) (General Rule), as

the proposed amendment will cause no direct or indirect change to the environment,

does not meet the definition of a Project under CEQA, and it can be seen with

certainty that the proposed amendment will not have an effect on the environment,

and is pursuant to Section 65852.21(k) and Section 66411.7(n). Contact Planner:

Clarissa Manges, Assistant Planner, (951) 826-5264, cmanges@riversideca.gov.
