5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth
in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the
Owners have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or have allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owners have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owners shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ''/2) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the

Owners, the City shall give written notice to the Owners by registered or certified mail, and if
such a violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the Deputy City Manager for
Development Services or designee within thirty (30) days thereafter, or if not corrected within
such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the breach or default, or default cannot be
cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure the breach or default may be commenced
within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently pursued to completion by the Owners),
then the City may, without further notice, declare a default under the terms of this Agreement
and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the obligations of the Owners
growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or federal, for injunctive
relief against any violation by the Owner or apply for such relief as may be appropriate.
b. The City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if the City does not
enforce or cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise
provided for in this Agreement or in the City's regulations governing historic properties are
available to the City to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by
the City of any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
other subsequent breach thereof or default hereunder.

Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its enviromnent.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or

a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.

Located on the west side of Heliotrope Street, the Gabriel House is a one-story, single-family residence constructed in the
Cape Cod variant of the American Colonial Revival style. A strong horizontality of massing also suggests the influence of the
contemporaneous Ranch style. The exterior of the house is clad in wide, horizontal, wood siding. A medium -pitched, side -
gabled roof with modest eaves detailed with a plain frieze board spans the symmetrically arranged, front (east) wing. Two
intersecting gables in the rear top north and south wings, creating a squared "U" plan that encloses a small rear patio. A brick
Chimney attached to the north elevation appears to be original while an interior brick Chimney, approximately centered west of
the side gable ridgeline, appears more modern in materials. The fagade is a textbook example of Cape Cod design, containing
a central entry flanked by two, large, eight -over -eight, double -hung sash windows to either side. Shutters adorn the windows.
The entry is recessed between two slender pilasters and consists of a paneled wood door with sidelights. Front -gabled

The Gabriel House is significant as a highly characteristic and intact example of a Colonial Revival (Cape Cod variant) house
design from the first years following the conclusion of World War It. It was built in 1948 for Melode R. Gabriel by Floral Park
developer, Alison Honer for an estimated cost of $25,000. The address first appears in the 1949-50 Santa Ana Directory with
Melode R. Gabriel, Rachel S. Gabriel and Kenneth L. Gabriel listed as the occupants. The Gabrie/s were the owners of the
Diamond ice Company. The Gabriels resided at the property until at least 1962. By 1979 the home was occupied by a Mrs.
Herbert Miller.

*P3a. Description (continued):
dormers are centered above each pair of windows and contain six -light windows. Windows on other elevations are also
wood -framed, double -hung sash. A lunette -shaped gable end vent is visible on the south elevation. Accessed by a poured
concrete driveway, a detached, three -car garage is located along the western (rear) parcel boundary. The garage is one-
story and capped by a moderately -pitched, side -gabled roof. Bordered by a low picket fence, the rectangular parcel is
primarily landscaped with lawn, low trees, and various low vegetation at the deep front setback. The property is in good
condition and retain ample integrity to convey the original design.
*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of
Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and
selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods
developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with
cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The Gabriel House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West
Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and
widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981),
credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls,
New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). "Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land.
And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana" (Orange County Register September 15, 1981). The parcel
chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. "When built in the 19208, the
Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County
Register September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and
1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival.
The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa
Ana City Hall, the EI Toro Marine Base during World War 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the
neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue. In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy
Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral Park. An early Russell project was his 1928
subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand
and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the
early post World War It years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built.
Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses
completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2018) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa
Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Gabriel House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Cape Cod variant of the Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the
house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it contributes to the "overall character and history" of the Floral Park
neighborhood and "is a good example of period architecture" representing the Cape Cod style in Santa Ana (Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2). Character defining features of the Gabriel House that should be preserved include, but may not be
limited to: materials and finishes (siding, wood trim, brick); roof configuration, materials, and treatment; massing and
composition; fenestration (doors and windows); and architectural detailing (dormers, window shutters, pilasters).
