-Historic Survey-

VII. List of West Covina's Most Significant Resources

Interim Measures

Developing a preservation program and drafting a preservation ordinance are time consuming tasks. On an interim basis, the historic resources survey enables city officials to direct more involvement into evaluating development proposals that may affect these identified properties. There are a handful of properties that exemplify the history of West Covina's built environment and individual nominations of these properties to the California Register should be undertaken as soon as possible. These properties include "Valencia Park" (the Jobe residence) and several other prime architectural examples. The DPR records for these select properties accompany this report. Other resource records are available as appendices.

The completion of this focused Historic Resources Survey is considered the first step towards developing a comprehensive and effective preservation plan to protect the city's valuable architectural heritage.
