City Council District 10 Region 6 December 6,

The City Council adopted the ordinance
enabling the creation of HPOZs in 1979; Angelino Heights became Los
Angeles' first HPOZ in 1983. Today, the City of Los Angeles has
27 designated HPOZs,
with many more under consideration (Proposed
HPOZs). HPOZ
areas range in size from neighborhoods of approximately 50 parcels to
more than 3,000 properties. While most districts are primarily
residential, many have a mix of single-family and multi-family housing,
and some include commercial and industrial properties. HPOZs are
established and administered by the Los Angeles City Planning Department
(in concert with the City Council). Individual buildings in an HPOZ need
not be of landmark quality on their own: it is the collection of a
cohesive, unique, and intact
collection of historic resources
that qualifies a neighborhood for HPOZ status.
