During the past few months, in response to mansionization concerns in the community, Monrovia city staff has been working to analyze and refine different options related to updating both the development standards and the historic preservation ordinance.
To this point in time, the public discussions have centered primarily on refinements to our development standards and a number of different mechanisms related to that particular review have been engaged.
Simultaneous to the work that has been coordinated to update development standards, has been an in-depth assessment of the overall historic preservation ordinance.
With one of the most robust historic preservation programs in the San Gabriel Valley, the city is certainly proud of the fact that there are 137 landmarked facilities here in Monrovia!
The current discussions related to mansionization concerns has presented the opportunity to reassess the overall historic preservation program, and, based on the work that has been completed to date, the city has developed a series of options for consideration.
In order to provide an appropriate venue for an initial review of those options, there will be a coordinated a joint study session meeting of the city council and the historic preservation commission on Monday, June 20, at 7 p.m. in the council chambers. Please feel free to come be part of the discussion regarding this important topic.
