FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 6 G. The proposed exterior modifications along the first floor include the partial demolition of a rear wall (adjacent to the existing kitchen) and the demolition of a “bump out”/extension, approximately 100 square feet in size. Along the second floor, the exterior work would include partial demolition of a rear wall and bay window. The proposed demolition will accommodate a firs t floor addition of approximately 225 square feet, first floor remodel, and a second floor addition of approximately 188 square feet to accommodate a new bathroom, closet, and new second story rear balcony. H. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30 -6, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on July 7, 2022, for the request for exterior modifications to the Miller House. I. Since the property is deemed a historic structure, all exterior modifications are required to meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. 1. The following Secretary of Interior’s Standards are applicable: i. The project complies with Standard No. 1. The property currently maintains its historic use as a single-family residence. The use is not proposed to change. The interior configuration will remain substantially the same with the addition providing enhanced functionality. ii. The project complies with Standard No. 2. The historic character of the subject property will be retained and preserved. The proposed first and second story addition has been designed to remove as little historic material as possible, and will be located on a secondary non-character defining façade, toward the rear of the structure, where it will not be generally visible from the public right-of-way. The proposed exterior alterations will not alter the primary west (front) elevation, or any important spatial relationships that characterize the property. iii. The project complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed changes will not create a false sense of historical development. The proposed first and second floor addition will read as contemporary in comparison to the existing single- family residence which incorporates distinctive architectural features of the Moderne style and Colonial Revival style. The addition will have a matching roof to the existing house and is designed to be compatible with the existing scale and massing of the residence. Moreover, the addition would be distinguished by the slightly varied fenestration, French doors and varied balcony railings on the rear second story balcony. Therefore, the architectural treatment will read as contemporary, not conjectural. Historic Resources Commission 6 –8 7/7/2022
