Explanation:
In this case, I think "tombada" has a very broad sense. True, it is 'heritage', but using the word in this context seems to narrow the meaning a bit.

preserved area


Explanation:
A área é objeto de preservação ambiental, não histórica. Se fosse, existem várias designações nas quais entram os termos landmark, historical, listed [p.ex., listed in the Register of Historic Places]; property protected as a historic place; property protected as cultural heritage, e semelhantes. Mas, este não é o caso.

Outras duas expressões que poderiam ser usadas no âmbito da consulta seriam "area marked for preservation" ou "preservation area".
