Council adopts ordinance to formalize equestrian landmark designation for land
Summary
Council approved the second reading of Ordinance 11-36 to create an equestrian landmark designation that applies to land (not structures), intended to preserve large-animal-keeping lots, trails and open space consistent with similar landmark designations.
The council approved the second reading and accompanying resolution for Ordinance 11-36, an "equestrian landmark" designation that clarifies the designation applies to land rather than improvements to structures on residential properties. City Attorney Colin explained the change (replacing the phrase "real property" with "land") to ensure the designation preserves large-animal keeping lots, trails and open spaces without restricting owners' ability to modify structures on their property.
Council members described the ordinance as another tool to preserve Norco's equestrian and rural character and noted precedents for landmark designations at state and national levels. There were no public comments on the item and the council approved the ordinance and matching resolution on second reading unanimously.
