​Mill Valley Architectural Report To Go Before City Council

MILL VALLEY, CA — Mill Valley's past, present and future will converge at a City Council meeting later this month.

The final draft of a historic report will go before the council June 7, city officials said.

The Mill Valley City Council will hold a virtual Public Hearing to consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation to adopt the Historic Resources Inventory Survey Report and Historic Context Statement.

The documents were prepared by Page & Turnbull, a San Francisco architecture and historic preservation firm.

The city commissioned the document as part of its General Plan 2040 to enrich community understanding of Mill Valley’s history.

Historic Context Statements summarize a community's history related to its development and identifies significant themes, patterns, trends, and property types. The HCS provides a framework for identification, evaluation, and treatment of historic resources.

Page & Turnbull in 2018 conducted a reconnaissance level survey of the city's lists of potentially historic properties identified by members of the Mill Valley Historical Society as having potential historic resource value.

These 176 properties, located within the incorporated boundaries of the city of Mill Valley, encompass representative examples of many of the early architectural styles and building types constructed in the city of Mill Valley, and that are defined in the context statement.

The virtual meeting is scheduled for June 7 at 6:30 p.m.
