2009. While the property has a Butternut Ridge Road address, the dwelling is set back from the street by about 700 feet and is not visible from the right-of-way. The property is to be removed from the district because, while the dwelling meets the age requirement as a contributing structure, it has no physical presence in the district due to the significant setback. PPN 235-24-003: This property is zoned Residential Cluster and is located on Butternut Ridge Road at the southwest corner of the Canterbury Road intersection. The portion of the site previously included in the historic district includes several three-family dwelling units and landscaping. There are no historic structures located on this property and there is little likelihood of new development or redevelopment. Any changes to the development plan must be approved in accordance with procedures described in Chapter 1126 of the Zoning Code. The property is to be removed from the district because there are no existing structures of historic value, the property is built out in a manner unlikely to change and there are other mechanisms in place to review any proposed changes to the approved plan. PPN 236-11-008: This property is zoned A One Family Residence, but was developed as multi -family apartments as part of a court settlement agreement with the property owner. The portion of the site previously included in the historic district includes community facilities and a storm water retention basin. There are no historic structures located on this property and there is little likelihood of new development or redevelopment. Any minor changes to the development plan must be approved in accordance with procedures described in Chapter 1126 of the Zoning Code. Any major changes would likely require City Council approval of amendments to the judgment entry governing the use and development of the property. The property is to be removed from the district because there are no existing structures of historic value, the property is built out in a manner unlikely to change and there are other mechanisms in place to review any proposed changes to the approved plan. Boundary Adjustments Improvements in mapping technology since the Butternut Ridge Historic District was created in 1986 make it possible to show current parcel lines, locations of structures and streets in a useful way. The updated map provides a clear reference for Landmarks Commission members and property owners to use in determining which properties are governed by the provisions of Chapter 165. Other than those listed in the previous section, no other properties are proposed to be added or removed from the district. However, this map update better aligns district boundaries with lot lines where feasible. Arbitrarily cutting a boundary line across some parcels has the potential to create confusion, especially where there are proposals for detached accessory structures visible in the rear yards of properties. In some cases, the depth of the lot continues to make including an entire parcel unreasonable. Activities occurring at the rear of deep properties that do not have an impact on the district should be exempt from regulation and review. The updated map better defines those transition points. Analysis and Historical Significance To amend the district boundaries, the Landmarks Commission must show that the modified district meets the age criteria contained in Chapter 165 and that it continues to retain its historical significance. Age of Structures Exhibit B includes a spreadsheet of all properties within the proposed Butternut Ridge Historic District. There are 133 individual parcels within the historic district, including a combination of primary structures Page 15
