LOS ANGELES CONSERVANCY Preservation Report Card | 2014

– Guide to Using the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) – available in English and Spanish, this introductory
guide outlines the basics of CEQA and how you can use it to
protect historic places in your community.

– Incentives for Preserving Historic Buildings – an overview of
incentives available for residential and commercial structures.

– Glossary of Preservation Terms – quick definitions of com-
monly used terms in historic preservation.

• Review the overall chart on the Report Card microsite on our website,
and find other communities that have higher scores in your area of
interest. Visit their community pages on our website (under Explore
L.A.), as well as their own websites, and review any relevant materials
they offer, such as historic resources surveys.

• Attend workshops and/or conferences on topics such as CEQA,
local landmarks, historic districts, and more. Workshops are offered
periodically by a number of groups, including the Conservancy
and the California Preservation Foundation. For more information,
visit the Upcoming Events page of our website at laconservancy.org.

At any point in the process, please feel free to contact the Conservancy for
personalized technical assistance. You can reach us at (213) 623-2489 or
