FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Resolution No. 2023-XXX Page 2 of 9 modification(s) does not substantially change the character and integrity of the historic property. G. The proposed exterior modifications to the two-story, single-family residence consist of a partial rehabilitation of an existing, deteriorating front porch at the building’s primary (south) façade. The porch will undergo foundation repairs and reinforcement; non-original Craftsman style porch elements that were added during the early to mid-1920s remodel will be removed and replaced by a simple, compatible porch design; compatible porch features that are in disrepair will be maintained and repaired in -kind; and conjectural architectural features that have been added over time and are not compatible with the historic property will be removed. H. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30 -6, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on July 6, 2023, for the request for exterior modifications to the Titchenel-Catland House.

The proposed porch rehabilitation has been designed to maintain existing, compatible porch materials and remove only non-original and conjectural features. Although the proposed rehabilitation will alter the primary (south) elevation, the existing porch is not original to the original Victorian Italianate style residence built in 1887, as it underwent a 1920s Craftsman style porch remodel and has since been altered over time. The proposed rehabilitation will provide a more compatible porch design that does not introduce new Victorian Italianate and Craftsman style elements. The proposed exterior alterations will not alter any important spatial relationships that characterize the property as the porch has been altered overtime. iii. The project complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed changes will not create a false sense of historical development. The proposed rehabilitation will read as a
