HEMA-2025-03 – The A.L. Glines House (1804 N. Greenleaf Street) <br />September 23, 2025 <br />Page 8 <br /> <br /> <br />The pergolas and rear deck proposed for legalization are differentiated from the <br />house by their essentially utilitarian design and commonplace materials. They are <br />of an appropriate scale for the residence. <br /> <br />The garage has incurred multiple changes requiring legalization, including those <br />involving the front parapet, wall cladding, pergola, and accordion doors. However, <br />it could not be conclusively determined whether historic materials have been lost <br />as a result of these changes. In any case, the garage retains an unobtrusive, <br />generally utilitarian appearance consistent with the character of a detached garage <br />and is, therefore, compatible with the property as a whole. <br /> <br />10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such <br />a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the <br />historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. <br /> <br />If the second-story addition were removed in the future, the essential form and <br />integrity of the subject property could be impaired; however, the east façade would <br />remain unchanged as would many of the character defining features of the <br />property including the bay window, original windows, stucco wall cladding, <br />chimneys, gable vents, and high-pitched roof. The unpermitted pergolas and deck <br />are superficially attached to the residence. Their removal could be undertaken with <br />minimal changes to the residence. , the project complies with Standard No. 10. <br /> <br />Conclusion <br /> <br />Staff has determined that the project, as conditioned, complies with The Secretary of the <br />Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Specifically, the analysis indicates that the proposed <br />second-story addition, legalization of unpermitted pergolas on residence, and <br />replacement of unpermitted windows with windows consistent with existing original <br />windows, and changes involving the garage’s cladding, parapet, accordion doors, and <br />pergola would not impact the historic integrity of the residence. <br /> <br />The role of the Historic Resources Commission is to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness <br />upon finding that the proposed modifications do not substantially change the character and <br />integrity of the historic properties per Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6 and meet the <br />Secretary of Interior’s Standards per CEQA and the City’s Certified Local Government <br />agreement with the State of California. Staff finds that the historic exterior modification <br />application meets the necessary criteria to be awarded a Certificate of Appropriateness and <br />should be approved. It is also recommended that staff approve the exact materials and <br />finishes to be used prior to installation to ensure quality and compatibility. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />    <br />Historic Resources Commission 233 9/23/2025 <br />
