Pomona is fortunate to have a wealth of residences, commercial buildings, churches and other structures that embody the spirit and architectural of its historic periods. Often the value of these structures is best preserved if they are protected as a unified group, for example, as an entire neighborhood or commercial area. Such protection can be achieved under the city's district designation process diagrammed below. To ensure that historic districts receive full protection, even districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places must be officially designated at the local level. Local designation encourages the cooperation of the city and the citizens of Pomona in the important on-going effort to preserve the fruits of Pomona's past!
Through the public hearing process, individual property owners may requ4st in writing or verbally that their property be exempted from district provisions for as along as they own the property.
