Civic improvements in the downtown area have reversed the <br /> economic decline and deterioration of historic buildings, and the 1990 General Plan included a very <br /> strong Historic Resources Element that resulted in the formation of historic districts that better preserve <br /> strong clusters of historic buildings. Today, Downtown is the heart of the community of Redwood City, <br /> and its historic resources are one of its most important qualities. <br /> The Downtown Precise Plan has two primary goals with regard to the preservation of historic resources: <br /> A) Actively encourage and promote the preservation of Redwood City's historic resources, and <br /> B) Reduce deferred judgment as much as possible. <br /> The historic resources preservation strategy employs the use of an extensive reconnaissance survey of <br /> all known and potential historic resource in the Downtown Precise Plan area as well as those in "Areas of <br /> Influence," in order to identify, evaluate for significance, and determine levels of historic integrity. The <br /> Plan includes development standards and design guidelines that mandate or incentivize the <br /> preservation of historic resources and the compatibility of neighboring structures. <br /> Forty properties in the DTPP area were found to have very high significance and integrity, and their <br /> preservation is encouraged. The three buildings within the Fox Theater complex are among these forty <br /> properties, listed within the Plan as "Historic Resources to Be Preserved." Three nearby properties are <br /> also listed as "Historic Resources to Be Preserved." The properties are listed within the Historic <br /> Resources Inventory chart, and specific standards and guidelines are outlined for each of them within <br /> the DTPP, Book II: Development Regulations - Historic Resource Preservation Regulations (Section 2.1.3). <br /> ARCHIVES & ARCHITECTURE <br />
