Attributes

Rolling Hills Estates adopted a historic preservation ordinance in 2001 that allows for the designation of individual landmark and historic districts. However, the City has not been active in the use of its historic preservation ordinance and has only designated three landmarks. Rolling Hills Estates has not yet conducted a survey of potential historic resources.

Other than the ordinance linked at left, we don't know of any community-specific resources for local preservation in Rolling Hills Estates. 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.
