La Jolla coastal district gets state nod for nomination for National Register of Historic Places
After five years of effort, the newly designated La Jolla Park Coastal Historic District is being nominated for the National Register of Historic Places following a vote of support last week from the California State Historical Resources Commission.
McClain told the commission that La Jolla’s founders “prioritized direct access to nature and ensured that La Jolla’s coastline would be preserved for public use. Health-seeking and nature-loving became part of a way of life that we now call the California lifestyle.”McArthur added that “developers prioritized access to the sea. Almost the whole coastline of the La Jolla Park subdivision is set back by the presence of Coast Boulevard and the Trail … where hotels, houses and shops would be built.
“ did impeccable research and carried forward my research on the Children’s Pool, expanding it to a much fuller district encompassing a much larger section of La Jolla’s early history,” Kane said. Davidoff said the main concern is making sure marine mammal birthing areas would continue to be protected under the historic district, though she said the Sierra Club “is satisfied with the reassurances given that historic designation of the coastline will not interfere with the wildlife habitat.”
