To preserver the historic appearance and value of Pomona's designated historic landmarks and structures within preservation districts, property owners must obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) before undertaking any minor alteration projects that require a building permit. The city's planning division will provide property owners with brochures indicating which projects are considered minor alterations.
Applications for a COA can be filed with the planning division. Each application should be accompanied by plans and specifications, including drawings that show the relationship of the proposed project to surrounding historic structures and properties. Applications for minor alterations are reviewed by the Planning and Development Services Manager or the Manager's designee.
For more information on historic preservation in Pomona, contact the City Planning Division at 505 South Garey Avenue, or call 909 620-2191.
