Hi all- I'm hopping in on the HPC thing. Who has control and how does it
work??? More and more the HPC in Whittier lets one property slip and then
causes many,many problems for others that goes by the rules...who, what and
how does the HPC work??? In Whittier it's unclear.

The HPC has two preservation planners (which is far too few) shouldering the burden
for this entire city, and a commission, much like the City
The HPC process involves designation of either an area or structure as
worthy of preservation, based on a study of the historic or significant
characteristics. The City Council adopts the designation. Following that
designation, the owner must have changes approved by the City. This can
apply
