September 2011 This Page Intentionally Left Blank City of Glendale Draft Rossmoyne Historic Resources Survey Prepared by LSA Associates, Inc. September 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) is under contract to the City of Glendale to conduct a historic resources survey of a portion of the Rossmoyne neighborhood that has been nominated by the community for designation as a Glendale Historic District. The Study Area comprises 505 assessor’s parcels in an area northeast of downtown Glendale, north of Verdugo Road, generally between Cordova Street and Royal Boulevard. The purpose of the survey was to identify, document, and evaluate the proposed Rossmoyne Historic District for eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), California Register of Historical Resources (California Register), and/or for designation as a City of Glendale Historic District. This project has been funded in part by a grant from the Los Angeles County Preservation Fund of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. In February 2011, LSA conducted background and archival research into the history and development of the Rossmoyne Neighborhood in order to develop a Historic Context Statement that was specific to the Rossmoyne neighborhood. In March 2011, LSA Architectural Historian Tanya Sorrell conducted a reconnaissance-level survey that included documentation and description of all 505 properties within the proposed district boundaries. Survey data and photographs were recorded in the Historic Architecture Inventory (HAI), a field application and database developed by LSA for field data collection. The HAI provided the team with the ability to create architectural descriptions in the field and to print Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR 523) forms. Based on the historic context statement and survey results, LSA concluded that the Rossmoyne Historic District appears eligible for the National Register under Criteria A and C at the local level because it is an excellent example of an early automobile suburb and contains a significant concentration of exceptional examples of Period Revival residences. As an early automobile suburb, the Rossmoyne Historic District significantly represents a broad pattern of development that radically transformed the Southern California landscape in the 20th century with a period of significance from 1923–1950. It is highly intact, with about 82 percent of properties in the district qualifying as contributors. For these same reasons, the Rossmoyne Historic District appears eligible for the California Register under Criteria 1 and 3, and for designation as a City of Glendale Historic District under Criteria A, B, C, F, G, and H.

  • Northeast Los Angeles (NELA) Hillsides Work Program
    Northeast Los Angeles (NELA) Hillsides Work Program What is the Northeast Los Angeles (NELA) Hillsides Work Program? The NELA Hillsides Work Program is the directive that resulted out of the adoption of the Interim Con- trol Ordinance (ICO) by the Los Angeles City Council in December 2006. The purpose of the NELA Hillsides Work Program is to review and assess issues such as the minimization of grading and soil erosion, protection of ridgelines and landforms, protection of plant life and wildlife, appropriate scales of hillside development, and, adequate access for residents and emergency vehicles in the Northeast Los Angeles hillside areas of Mount Olympus, Paradise Hill, Rose Hill, El Sereno, and Monterey Hills. The goals of the NELA Hillsides Work Program are to identify issues and opportunities in the hillside communities, set objectives, and develop land use regulations that promote policies and objectives of the Northeast Los Angeles Community Plan for development in the hillsides that: • are appropriate in scale and minimally disruptive of the natural terrain, vegetation, water courses and wildlife; • ensure that future developments improve the identity and appearance of neighborhoods and communities through scale, height, bulk, setbacks, design, and landscaping parameters; • give consideration for the steepness of the topography and geological stability in any proposal for development; • ensure the availability of adequate infrastructure and access to emergency services; and, • promote the protection of natural resources. Focus Group* Purpose: • The focus groups help identify the issues and opportunities related to hillside development and conservation. • The focus groups explore ways to promote good planning principles by soliciting community input that will be used to develop land use regulations which will promote appropriate development in the Northeast Los Angeles hillsides.
