The Venice Planning Team, in coordination with Rincon consultants and the City of Los Angeles’ Office of Historic Resources are conducting a resurvey of resources in the coastal zone. We need your help to identify resources in your community, particularly lesser known resources with historic or cultural significance.

In considering which resources to identify, think about the following questions:

What are the neighborhoods, commercial areas, and landscapes that have distinctive
architectural or cultural characteristics, or reflect important aspects of social history or
planning and development? What qualities of these places make them important?

What sites or buildings have been gathering places or focal points of your community
over the years?

Which buildings housed important individuals, groups or organizations that shaped
your community’s history?

Which buildings and districts may have been associated with important architects, builders,
designers, developers, or engineers whose work helped define the character of your area?

Which resources shaped social movements or the cultural evolution of your community?
