Architectural History Evaluation <br /> MANAGEMENT SUMMARY <br /> The City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency(City) retained ECORP Consulting, Inc. (ECORP) in 2024 to <br /> conduct an Architectural History Evaluation report for the Fairview Street Widening Project (Project) in <br /> Santa Ana, Orange County, California. The City is proposing to widen a 0.5-mile segment of North <br /> Fairview Street from West 17th Street to Trask Avenue. The Project would potentially acquire four adjacent <br /> residential properties to accommodate the widening: 2501 Huckleberry Road, 2502 Huckleberry Road, <br /> 2501 Strawberry Lane, and 2502 Strawberry Lane. For the purposes of this report, the Project Area is <br /> defined as the segment of North Fairview Street from West 17th Street to Trask Avenue plus the four <br /> adjacent residential properties. North Fairview Street was constructed c. 1890, and the four residences <br /> were constructed in 1950;therefore, the road and residences exceed the 50-year age threshold to be <br /> considered cultural resources. <br /> ECORP evaluated North Fairview Street and the residences at 2501 Huckleberry Road, 2502 Huckleberry <br /> Road, 2501 Strawberry Lane, and 2502 Strawberry Lane for historical significance in accordance with the <br /> California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act <br /> (NHPA) as well as its implementing regulations. In addition, ECORP evaluated the resources against the <br /> criteria for listing in the City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. ECORP prepared the evaluation <br /> pursuant to City of Santa Ana requirements under CEQA for the Project. <br /> ECORP's evaluation included a records search, literature review, focused archival and historical research, <br /> and an intensive survey of the Project Area.The records search results indicated that the four subject <br /> residences have not been previously recorded or evaluated for historic significance in accordance with any <br /> state or federal criteria. A current architectural history evaluation is warranted because the four residences <br /> are more than 50 years old, are proposed to be demolished, and have not been previously evaluated for <br /> historical significance. <br /> A 2002 Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Fairview Street Resurfacing Project by Michael H. Dice <br /> (OR-02453) found North Fairview Street not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under any <br /> criteria.A current architectural history reevaluation is warranted because the resource is more than 50 <br /> years old and the physical condition of the road may have changed since the 2002 evaluation. <br /> ECORP found that North Fairview Street and the residences at 2501 Huckleberry Road, 2502 Huckleberry <br /> Road, 2501 Strawberry Lane, and 2502 Strawberry Lane do not meet any of the criteria for listing in the <br /> National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, or the City of Santa Ana <br /> Register of Historical Properties, either individually or as part of an existing historic district. Therefore, they <br /> are not Historical Resources in accordance with CEQA or a Historic Properties in accordance with Section <br /> 106 of the NHPA. <br /> ECORP Consulting, Inc.
