County of San Diego Historic Site Board Updates
By Courtney Ann Coyle
July/August 2026

At a special meeting in March 2026, the San Diego County Historic Site Board recommended that the director of Planning and Development Services approve the designation of a residence designed by noted San Diego architect Alberto O. Treganza to the Local Register of Historic Places with modifications to the Mills Act Contract and application materials. Here are the details:

The Albert and Shanny Wheeler Residence/Hacienda del Cielo, 3928 La Cresta Way in Bonita, is a high-style Spanish Eclectic hacienda, built in 1929. Constructed during the earliest phase of the Bonita Hills subdivision, its architecture is distinguished by asymmetrical massing, stucco walls, red-tiled roofs, interior courtyard with arcades and decorative tilework, multi-light casement windows, and strong integration with the surrounding landscape.

With more applications in the queue, additional board meetings are likely this year. To learn more, please contact Sean Oberbauer, sean.oberbauer@sdcounty.gov Land Use & Environmental Planning Project Manager, or check out the Historic Site Board website.
