The West Hollywood Historic Preservation Commission will consider its 2027 meeting schedule and review a major multi-family historic resources survey at its November 9, 2026 meeting.
This preview is based on the published Historic Preservation Commission agenda. It does not reflect what will actually happen at the meeting.
What's proposed
The commission is being asked to approve its regular meeting schedule for 2027. Staff is recommending that four meeting dates be canceled because they conflict with scheduled City Council meetings or holidays: January 11, June 14, August 9, and October 11, 2027. Staff is also recommending that those meetings possibly be rescheduled to January 25, June 21, August 16, and October 25, 2027.
Why it matters
Setting the meeting calendar in advance helps residents, applicants, and community members plan ahead to participate in future commission meetings. Knowing which dates may shift also prevents confusion about when decisions will be made.
What the Commission will decide
The commission is being asked to consider canceling four conflicting 2027 meeting dates and possibly rescheduling them to alternative dates.
