Garry Avenue, Santa Ana, California. <br /> <br />Introduction and Purpose <br />The subject property at 1700-1740 E. Garry Avenue is composed of three detached office buildings, 1700, 1720, <br />and 1740. The property was constructed in 1973 and is 49 years old. It is not located within a historic district and is <br />not identified as a historic property in the City of Santa Ana Property Information Search Database. The property <br />has not been previously surveyed for eligibility under the City of Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties (Local <br />Register), the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), or the National Register of Historic Places <br />(NRHP). <br /> <br />A new project is proposed for the property and includes demolition of the three existing office buildings and <br />construction of a new approximately 91,500 square foot light industrial warehousing building that would <br />accommodate two tenants. One side of the building would have 42,700 square feet of warehouse space and 2,500 <br />square feet of office and mezzanine space and the other would have 46,800 square feet of warehouse space and <br />2,500 square feet of office and mezzanine space. Each side of the building have 5 dock doors. <br /> <br />This Historical Resource Assessment (HRA) Memorandum was prepared to conform to City of Santa Ana General <br />Plan Mitigation Measure CUL-1 Identification of Historical Resources and Potential Project Impacts.
