Attributes

Montebello does not currently have a historic preservation ordinance.

A limited survey of structures on Whittier Boulevard was completed in 1989 in response to a proposed street widening project, though the City has not conducted any citywide survey of historic resources.

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