Historic Preservation

Overview

harding_ct

The City of Monrovia’s historic preservation efforts began in the early 1990’s with the establishment of the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee. The Committee’s purpose was to develop a strategy which would serve as a guide for the preservation of Monrovia’s significant historic structures.

In 1995, the City Council adopted the Historic Preservation Ordinance. In addition to the criteria and regulations for local historic landmarks, it established a Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to provide oversight of the program. The HPC consists of seven Monrovia citizens appointed by the City Council to a three-year term. Meetings are held quarterly on the Wednesday following the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at City Hall. For additional information, please see the HPC sidebar located on this page.
