Temple City does not currently have a historic preservation ordinance.

A partial reconnaissance survey in 2012 was planned as a citywide survey, made possible by a National Trust Los Angeles Preservation Fund grant.  Yet no documentation was included in the completed survey, and the city attorney decided it would not be valid for determining historical resource status per CEQA.

We don't know of any community-specific resources for local preservation in Temple City. 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.
