An application for a historic district overlay zone was submitted to the City of Glendale. The Historic Preservation Commission conducted an initial review and made a preliminary determination that the area may qualify as a historic district. This determination must be confirmed by a historic resources survey. The historic district overlay zone will not be implemented without the consent of a majority of property owners and approval of the City Council.

PRESERVATION AWARD

The City of Glendale has received the Los Angeles Conservancy’s prestigious Preservation Award in 2007 for the City’s Design Guidelines for Residential Buildings in Adopted Historic Districts. These guidelines were developed by a consultant (Architectural Resources Group) working with staff and a 19-member Citizen's Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee was composed of a very broad range of interests and viewpoints, and worked hard to achieve consensus on a document that would be fair, practical, and easy to understand. The Guidelines were further reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission, the Planning Commission and the City Council, all of which added valuable input and critiques of the document. The process itself was a model of citizen participation - people with passionate beliefs came together, put aside their differences and produced a work of exceptional quality.
