Historic Site Preservation Board | June 2, 2026

The City of Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board held a meeting on June 2, 2026, focusing primarily on historic site designation requests. The board reviewed two key properties: the Lawrence Harvey Residence and the Hill Residence. The Lawrence Harvey Residence was recommended for reclassification to Class 1 historic status due to its architectural significance and integrity, and the board unanimously approved this designation. Conversely, the Hill Residence was found not to meet the criteria for historic designation due to significant alterations and lack of integrity, leading the board to recommend its removal from the Class 3 list. The meeting also included discussions on future preservation efforts, grant opportunities, and upcoming training sessions. No direct procurement or contracting decisions were made during this session.
