Mission Hills San Diego homes are in the enviable position of being located in "historic districts". Although most people probably feel that this is just a way to lure tourists off the highways for a tour, there are several beneficial reasons why a neighborhood would want to be considered an historic district. The primary objective of historic districts is to maintain the scale and basic character of such districts by:
- Protecting and preserving the basic architectural features of the homes in the neighborhood.
- Discouraging demolition and alteration beyond recognition of the exteriors of qualified (known as “contributing”) homes in the neighborhood.
- Helping to uncover the important historic past of the neighborhood.
- Encouraging redevelopment of incompatibly developed properties in accordance with the character of the area.
- Making Mills Act property tax relief available for qualified homes in the neighborhood.
- Boosting property values of all homes through the prestige that comes with being situated in a historic district
- Facilitating pride of ownership and understanding of the deep historic roots of our neighborhood. Due to lack of financial resources, the City of San Diego has indicated that it will not be initiating new historic districts for the foreseeable future, but will process nominations brought forward by the community.
