City Ordinance affecting Historical Districts
Thu, 07/27/2006 - 11:16am — Paul MurnaneHere is the link to the city municipal code that established the Cultural Heritage Commission: http://municipalcodes.lexisnexis.com/codes/longbeach/_DATA/TITLE02/Chapter_2_63_CULTURAL_HERITAGE.html It is this section of code that provides for the establishment of Historic Districts among other things. This is important because it essentially sits above a specific historic district ordinance in the hierarchy of code.
