DPR 523J (9/2013) *Required information State of California - The Resources Agency Primary# DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial# Resource Name or #: 1700-1740 E. Garry Avenue Page 17 of 27 B10. Significance (Continued from page 2): Local Register Criterion 1: Buildings, structures or objects with distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period, that exemplify a particular architectural style or design features. Under Criterion 1, the buildings do not qualify for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties. Built in 1973, the buildings are basic, tilt-up construction, commercial-use structures that do not embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period. Like many of the commercial/light industrial-use buildings in the area, the structures have a more utilitarian appearance and rather than attractive were meant to be functional and affordable. As such, the buildings do not exhibit features that would distinguish them architecturally or artistically. For this reason, the buildings are not eligible under Criterion 1. Local Register Criterion 2: Works of notable architects, builders, or designers whose style influenced architectural development. The subject buildings were not identified as the work of a notable architect, builder, or designer. Therefore, the buildings are not eligible under Criterion 2. Local Register Criterion 3: Rare buildings, structures, or objects or original designs. Under Criterion 3, the subject buildings are not considered rare, but rather of common construction that utilized the tilt-up concrete building method. Tilt-up concrete construction was meant to be cost-effective, efficient, and functional, and as such is visible in several commercial and industrial-use properties in the area. The construction method was typically applied to one-story buildings but is not unusual to be used for structures as tall as four stories. For this reason, Urbana opines the 1700-1740 E. Garry Avenue property not eligible under Criterion 3. Local Register Criterion 4: Buildings, structures, objects or sites of historical significance which include places (a) where important events occurred; (b) associated with famous people, original settlers, renowned organizations and businesses; (c) which were originally present when the city was founded; or (d) that served as important centers for political, social, economic, or cultural activity. The 1700-1740 E. Garry Avenue commercial-use buildings do not have an association with events or persons that have made significant contributions to the local, regional, or cultural heritage of California. The buildings were not constructed during the initial development of Santa Ana and the property did not serve as an important center that contributed to the political, social, economic, or cultural activity of the city. The buildings are one of several commercial/ industrial-use buildings that were constructed during the 1970s and 1980s around the peripherals of the city. No specific information was identified to indicate that the property, in and of itself, exemplifies or represents a special element of Santa Ana’s history. For this reason, the property is not eligible for designation under Criterion 4. Local Register Criterion 5. Sites of archaeological importance. Local Register Criterion 5 is typically applied to archaeological sites. Research and analysis of the 1700-1740 E. Garry Avenue property is limited to above ground historic resources. Therefore, the property is not eligible under Local Register Criterion 5. Local Register Criterion 6: Buildings or structures that were connected with a business or use which was once common but is now rare. Research does not indicate that the subject property was connected with a business or use which was once common but is now rare. Therefore, the property is not eligible under Criterion 6. 8/22/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 165
