The Historic Overlay zones have <br /> been successful in maintaining neighborhood character through design review of new <br /> development. Riverside neighbors saw positive results in other overlay zones and <br /> wanted the same for their neighborhood. City Council and the Mayor reviewed the <br /> Riverside neighborhood request and directed staff to work with neighborhood historic <br /> committee to develop proposal. <br /> The Riverside Historic Committee which consists of Sarah Church, Steve Fox, and <br /> Glenn Hunter developed the proposal and researched the properties in the overlay. The <br /> work included property inventories, proposing manageable boundaries for the overlay <br />
