Miracle Mile North Zoning (HPOZ)
Miracle Mile North HPOZ primarily consists of single-family residences which are uniform in scale, massing and setbacks. The majority of the one-story houses was built from 1924 to 1941 and reflects the Period Revival architectural styles of the time. While more than half the homes represent the Spanish Colonial Revival style, Tudor and American Colonial Revival styles can also be found.
