A. Purpose.A survey is a document which identifies historic elements of a building and site. This section includes survey procedures to identify properties which meet the Criteria for Historic Zoning. Surveys may be conducted on individual properties; however, it is the City’s goal that all properties in Monterey will be surveyed over time. For area-wide surveys, the City will initially identify geographical areas that do not have properties with potentially historic resources. Properties within these areas would be excluded from historic review, except CEQA historic review, as required by State law. The balance of the City will be surveyed to identify properties with potentially historic resources. There are two levels of survey. The initial survey will be a Reconnaissance Survey as defined, which is an overview survey to identify properties that qualify for an Intensive Survey. An Intensive Survey identifies whether a property meets the Criteria for Historic Zoning. In addition to the Citywide survey, properties may be individually surveyed. The City will maintain a list of all adopted surveys and will use the survey information to identify and protect potentially historic resources as outlined in Section 38-74b.

B. Reconnaissance Survey List; Adopted Survey List.The City shall maintain a list of surveyed properties. The list of properties with potential to meet the Criteria for Historic Zoning as identified in an Intensive Survey shall be deemed the “Adopted Survey List.” The list of properties identified in a Reconnaissance Survey shall be deemed the “Reconnaissance Survey List.” All surveys set forth in this section shall be prepared by or under supervision of a Qualified Professional.
