Garvanza HPOZ Introduced Today

Forwarding message from Councilman Huizar's office....

I am pleased to inform you that Councilmember Huizar introduced a motion today, April 4, 2007, to implement an Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) in the Garvanza area of CD14.

This motion is in direct response to requests from constituents in Garvanza who have worked diligently with our office to develop the boundaries and survey area for the proposed HPOZ. This HPOZ has been desired by the community for several years, and the Councilmember is pleased to have been able to initiate this long-awaited project.

The Garvanza neighborhood features many structures which represent significant architectural history, including the original historic township of Garvanza established in the early 1900's. This area represents significant cultural and architectural resources which should be protected. The motion introduced by Councilmember Huizar today instructs the Planning Department to initiate and complete proceedings and cost estimates to survey and establish a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) in Garvanza to encompass the Pasadena City limits to the north; Metro right-of-way bridge to the south; Eastside of Avenue 66 to the east; and Eastside of Figueroa proceeding to the westside of Avenue 63 at York to the west. The new Garvanza HPOZ will incorporate the entire original historic Garvanza neighborhood and to capture into it the Judson Studios Thorne Street portion of the current Highland Park HPOZ.

Councilmember Huizar's motion also instructs the City to initiate and complete proceedings to establish an Interim Control Ordinance (ICO) for the proposed HPOZ area to temporarily protect the Northeast Los Angeles Field Survey area from demolitions and exterior alterations in the time until the HPOZ is established. The motion will come to PLUM committee in the near future and the Councilmember looks forward to championing it to completion through City Council.
