<br />October 21, 2025
<br />Page 2
<br />The project will transform the building and surrounding exterior spaces into a new
<br />community services space, while restoring and preserving the building’s historic integrity
<br />and its historic register standing. The Santa Ana Police Athletic & Activity League
<br />(PAAL) is proposed as the new tenant, with programming to include an open community
<br />area with a check-in desk, classrooms for recreation and art activities, restrooms, and
<br />dedicated staff spaces.
<br />Site improvements will address grading, concrete and asphalt work, American with
<br />Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant access, utility connections, fencing and gates, lighting,
<br />drainage, irrigation, and landscaping. The exterior will be carefully restored using
<br />original historic drawings and photos to recreate doors, windows, and character-defining
<br />features, with repairs to the clay tile roof, stucco, and decorative tiling. Interior spaces
<br />will be designed to provide safe, accessible, and engaging areas that are modern yet
<br />complementary to the historic character. The restoration is especially necessary due to
<br />ongoing vandalism and trespassing, which have compromised the building’s condition.
