Rose Park Neighborhood Assn. is working to develop a step-by-step tool to help owners of property within historic districts navigate the certificate of appropriateness (COA) permit process.  The COA is distinct from a building permit.  COA's for minor upkeep and modifications such as fencing, house paint, and roofing are streamlined and all are encouraged to call the city's preservation desk for guidance 562) 570-6194 and to go to the city's historic presevation web site for the appropriate form.
If you are considering a renovation of your home's footprint, re-design of your garage or driveway or alteration of the home's structure please call the city's preservation desk at the start - you'll save lots of time.

In the meantime, once we have published our Historic District guidebook we will make it accessible both on-line and in print for easy use. Please contact us at info@rpna.org if you'd like to receive this.
