Attributes

Irwindale established a historic preservation ordinance in 2009, which allows for the designation of individual landmarks. The ordinance does not establish the ability to designate historic landmarks, and the designation of individual landmarks requires owner consent.

Irwindale has not yet conducted a citywide survey of historic resources.  The “Cultural & Historic Resources” section in the City’s General Plan contains a list of “Existing Historic Resources in Irwindale” identifying three sites of historical significance.

We don't know of any community-specific resources for local preservation in Irwindale. If you do, please let us know.

For general information about using the California Environmental Quality Act to protect historic places in your community, you can download our Guide to CEQA in English or Spanish.

For other resources, including a model ordinance and glossary of basic preservation terms, please see the Resources tab on our Report Card microsite.
