Duarte
Duarte does not currently have a historic preservation ordinance. Though the City was working toward that goal in 2008 and such an ordinance was discussed in a study session, the City Council did not give direction to pursue the topic further.
The City has made progress with historic preservation with its first citywide survey of architectural resources, which was completed in 2003. In 2007, Duarte adopted a Historic Preservation Element as part of the City’s General Plan, which outlines a number of goals, objectives and policies for historic preservation in the City.
