This Multiple Property Documentation Form outlines the historical context and registration requirements for San Diego Bungalow Courts. It details the history of bungalow courts in San Diego from 1920 to 1949, characterizing them by their organization around a central common space, diverse architectural styles (Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, Minimal Traditional, etc.), and connection to public transportation. The document establishes criteria for properties to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C, emphasizing architectural cohesion, integrity of design, location, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.

The workshop focused on multiple property documentation, a tool used to create a baseline for nominations. Discussions covered the nature of multiple property documentation forms, including what they are and are not, and how they differ from national register nominations. The workshop also addressed the components of the form, such as historic contexts and property types, and the geographical scope of nominations. The summary of identification and evaluation methods was also discussed.

The meeting included presentations of resolutions, including the California Historic Places Award for Colin Cham and Karthik Subramanian. The consent calendar properties were presented, including the Consolidated Orange Growers Precooling & Ice Plant, Hobart Building, Ontario Baseball Park, Flamingo Hotel, Hotel Lenhart, and Alberta Candy Factory.
