North Glendale (“NG”) consists of the portion of the city located in the Crescenta Valley. The Sparr Heights and Montecito Park neighborhoods establish the southern boundary, and the city borders define the east, west, and north extents of the study area. The study area contains approximately 7,722 developed parcels. The 2011 North Glendale Historic Context was prepared as part of the North Glendale Community Plan. The document’s historical narrative and identification of contexts covering the area’s developmental history are sound, but its structure deviates significantly from that of the South Glendale Historic Context and the chapter covering property types and registration requirements is not as robust as the corresponding sections of the South Glendale document. Project consultant Architectural Resources Group will edit and reformat this document to reflect the structure and level of detail found in the South Glendale Historic Context. In addition, any updates necessitated by the findings of the accompanying historic resource survey will be incorporated.

The North Glendale Historic Resource Survey will develop a survey methodology to identify properties and districts that appear to be eligible for designation based on the registration requirements developed in the NG Context Update. The survey will consider all parcels developed before the year 2000.
