The Design Review Board meeting held on September 25, 2025, began with a presentation regarding a proposed project at 1727 Wabasa Way. Case planner Coloma Diaz provided an overview of the project, designated as design review case DPDR0048792025.
The site, located in the Mid Eastern part of Glendale, encompasses a 16,200 square foot lot that features a slight uphill slope. Currently, the property is home to a single-story ranch-style residence, built in 1923, along with a detached two-car garage.
During the presentation, preservation staff conducted research and analysis, concluding that the property does not qualify for historic designation at the federal, state, or local levels. As a result, it is not classified as a historic resource under the California Environmental Act. The proposed project includes the demolition of the existing residence and garage.
The meeting continued with discussions on the implications of this demolition and the future plans for the site, although specific details on subsequent agenda items were not provided in the transcript. Overall, the meeting highlighted the ongoing development efforts in Glendale and the considerations surrounding property designations and historical significance. Further discussions and decisions regarding the project are expected in future meetings.
