Tarzana Property Owners Association, established in 1962, formed as an agglomeration of various, already established, neighborhood groups in the interest of furthering community growth and development. In 1964, the first publication of the Tarzana Property Owners Newsletter posted membership dues at $2.00 and outlined as the association's mission, the targeting of the "crazy quilt" spot zoning seen within the borders of Tarzana. This becomes one of the major focal points of the association throughout its history, in particular, the changing of residential zoning within Tarzana to commercial zoning. Second President, Mrs. Louise Frankel outlined as early as 1968 the necessity to establish park lands and open spaces due to rapid commercial growth in Tarzana. Records include building codes, city ordinances, correspondence, environmental impact reports, handbills, legal case documents, maps, minutes, newsletters, newspaper clippings, petitions, public hearing notices and reports, resolutions, schematic designs, site plans, zoning laws and related community planning records.
