City of Monrovia

The Historic Preservation Commission is responsible for administering Monrovia's Historic Preservation Ordinance and is comprised of seven Monrovia residents who are appointed by the City Council for a three-year term.  Included in their purview is the approval of exterior changes to historic landmarks, design review for building facades in Old Town along Myrtle Avenue, and advisory review on demolition permits for houses built prior to 1940.  The Commission also reviews all applications for historic landmark designation and Mills Act Contracts and makes a recommendation to the City Council on the request.

The Commission meets quarterly on the Wednesday following the fourth Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Council Chambers, 415 South Ivy Avenue. For more information please call (626) 932-5565.
