Owner’s compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owners hereby agree to furnish the City with any and all information requested

this Agreement.
5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth

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

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 City Manager 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

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch style dominated post-World War II residential expansion and
represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch House originated in the
1930’s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the west’s vernacular housing traditions by
combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist’s concern for informality, expressed in materials and
plan, and indoor-outdoor integration.While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to
most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by
wings of varying roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong
horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the Ranch
House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board-and-batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and
wood shake roofs. Indoor-outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the ground, and
the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and
diamond-patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven
rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Holstein House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of
the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it it
“contributes to the overall character and history” of the Washington Square neighborhood and “is a good example of period
architecture,” representing the Ranch style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

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.
1110 West Sixteenth Street is located on the northeastern edge of Washington Square, a neighborhood northwest of
downtown Santa Ana bounded by North Bristol Street, North Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, and West Washington
Avenue. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho Santiago de
Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross-McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the landscape.
By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic Center) only
as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by 1915,
when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the development
that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over the next 25
years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the
standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War
II. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes
according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes (“Washington Square: A
Neighborhood of Pride,” Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war
and the accompanying demand for homes in Southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but
completed.
The Holstein House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch style. Character defining features of the Holstein House
include, but are not limited to: materials and finishes (vertical wood siding); roof configuration, materials, and treatment
(overhanging eaves, exposed rafters); massing and composition; and fenestration (triangular windows, single-light and fixed
windows).Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and
history” of the Washington Square neighborhood and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing the Ranch
style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Exhibit C
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 environment.
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
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
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.
