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
which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of
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

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.

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 Owner),

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION B/2 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3
Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted
Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched
gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building
features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious
examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common
in the temperate climate of Southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings,
although small scale commercial buildings in the style were also constructed. Originating in the late 19th century, the
Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The West & West House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 4 for its
association with famous people in history of Santa Ana. Additionally, the building has been categorized as “Key” because
of its association with two significant persons in the history of Santa Ana and of Orange County, Z.B. West Jr. and
Franklin G. West. Character defining features of the West & West House that should be preserved, include, but not limited
to: exterior materials and finishes (half-timbering); roof configuration, materials, and treatment; massing and composition;
doors and windows (original multi-pane wood casement windows, where extant); chimney; and, arched entry.

entry door is located atop three steps clad in brick. The front entry door, is a wood plank door with decorative hardware. The
building has a combination of multi-pane casement and fixed windows. The garage is located at the northwest corner of the
property and is accessed from French Street. While additions have been constructed to the rear of the house in a manner that
does not detract from the architectural integrity, the stucco has been replaced in a finish that is not appropriate for the Tudor
Revival style of the building. However, the stucco does not detract from the association of the building with significant figures in the
history of Santa Ana, Z.B. West Jr. and Franklin G. West, and its qualification to be listed on the local register.

The West & West House is historically significant for its association with Z.B. West Jr. and Franklin G. West. The West family
played a vital role in the courtrooms of old Orange County for more than sixty years. Z.B. West Sr., Z.B. West Jr. and Franklin
G. West's father, served as a Superior Court Judge from 1903 until his death in 1926. Judge West Sr. served as Santa Ana's
City Attorney for seven years, then was appointed the District Attorney in 1897. In addition to his contribution to the legal
profession, Judge West Sr. was also active in education circles and was a devoted member of the First Baptist Church in
Santa Ana. Judge West Sr. was called by the Register "the guiding light of Orange County law."

*B10. Significance (continued):
Z.B. West Jr. was the first owner and recorded occupant of the West & West House, according to city directories. Z.B. West
Jr. graduated from Santa Ana High School and continued his studies at Stanford, where he graduated with honors in the
class of 1917. After completing honorable and active service with the American expeditionary forces in France during WWI,
West Jr. spent sixteen weeks at a French university. He then returned to California and was admitted to the bar in 1921,
afterwhich he established his law practice in Santa Ana. Z.B. West Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps and served as both
Santa Ana City Attorney from 1923 to 1927 and District Attorney from 1927 to 1930.
According to city directories, Franklin G. West resided at the residence after his brother, from 1932 until 1962. Franklin G.
West also followed in his father's footseps, serving as a Superior Court judge. Franklin G. West passed the bar in 1923 after
gradutating from Stanford, and practiced law with is brother Z.B. West Jr. in Santa Ana. Franklin G. West then went on to
become Superior Court judge in 1938, and served in that capacity from 1939 unitl 1965. Franklin passed away in 1976.
Franklin was held in such high esteem by the Orange County Bar Association (OCBA), that their highest honor bestowed is
a lifetime achievement award, which was established in memory of Judge Franklin G. West. According to the OCBA, Judge
Franklin G. West epitomized the best of the legal profession, both as an attorney and a judge. The award, which recognizes
an outstanding attorney or judge whose lifetime achievements have advanced justice and the law, is presented annually.
Outside of the courthouse, a third brother, Eddie West, made his name as the longtime sports editor of the Santa Ana
Register. Eddie West Field at the Santa Ana Stadium is named in his honor.
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 West & West House is located in the Santiago Park neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek
and Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the
west, and the I-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were
constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific
Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the
Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway route.
This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households
on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, “C Street” (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue,
the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households
had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents
continued to list “rancher” or “fruit grower” as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on
the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and
on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by
approximately forty landowners.
While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of
Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in
the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service
professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during
the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney (Z. B. West, Jr.,
321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County
Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April
1942, when the Sanborn Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with
single-family homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the
eastern half of the neighborhood and infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged
following World War II.
The West & West House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 4 for its
association with famous people in history of Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because of
its association with two significant persons in the history of Santa Ana and of Orange County, Z.B. West Jr. and Franklin G.
West. Character defining features of the West & West House that should be preserved, include, but not limited to: exterior
materials and finishes (half-timbering); roof configuration, materials, and treatment; massing and composition; doors and
windows (original multi-pane wood casement windows, where extant); chimney; and, arched entry.

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.

4.Furnishing of Information.
The Owners hereby agree to furnish the City with any and all information requested

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

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
3-11
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT
2440 North Riverside Drive
Santa Ana, CA 92706
- 4 -
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the

any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b.If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c.If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6.Enforcement of Agreement.
a.In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, the City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms 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 City Manager or his/her
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
Owners or apply for such relief as may be appropriate.
b.The City does not waive any claim of default by the Owners 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.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE:
A renewed interest in classical models of architecture began at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. The
planners of the exposition insisted on classical-themed architecture, and the photographs from the Exposition became
models for architects across the country. Drawing primarily from Roman and Greek classical architectural motifs,
neoclassical architecture emphasizes symmetry, porches with classical support columns, and the use of classical
detailing including lintels, pediments, colonnades, arches, and vaults. Neoclassical design also borrowed elements from
earlier American styles including Georgian, Federal, and Greek revival. Neoclassical residential architecture experienced
two waves of popularity, one from 1900 to 1920, and another from around 1925-1950s. Neoclassical buildings typically
have a front façade dominated by a full-height entry porch supported by two-story classical columns. Facades typically
exhibit symmetry and balance. Other common features include elaborated doorways that incorporated Federal, Greek
Revival, or Georgian elements; centered entrances; detailed cornices; rectangular, double-hung windows; roof-line
balustrades (McAlester 434-446).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Gregg House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Neoclassical style. Additionally, the house has been categorized
as “Key” because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" representing the Neoclassical style in Santa Ana
(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character defining features of the Gregg House include, but may not be
limited to: materials and finishes (wood siding and columns); roof configuration, materials, and treatment ; massing and
composition; fenestration (multi-pane hung windows where extant); and architectural detailing. (Municipal Code, Section
30-2.2).

Located in Floral Park on the south side of North Riverside Drive, the Gregg House is a two-story single-family residence
constructed in the Neoclassical style. It is symmetrical in composition, topped with a side gable, medium-pitched roof with
modest overhangs. The exterior of the structure is clad in wide wood clapboard siding. Projecting from the center bay of the
three-bay façade, the full-height front-gabled entry-porch supported by colossal paired fluted doric columns, is the focal point
of the design. Divided-light sidelights adorn the entry door which has a fan light transom above.. A fixed window occupies the
central bay above the entrance, under the portico. The windows on the primary elevation are wood, six-over-six, double hung,
with the windows on the secondary elevations being a combination of multi and single light hung and casements. The east
elevation is distinguished by an attached, red brick chimney and by small, arched vents in the gable face. A one-story, flat-
roofed addition has been made to the south elevation. No other alterations are visible. The property is landscaped with low
vegetation, neatly trimmed hedges, and a water feature positioned at the walkway leading to the entry. A concrete driveway
leads to a detached two-story garage located at the southeast corner of the property.

*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 Gregg 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. This neighborhood is 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 1920s, 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 El Toro Marine Base during World War II, 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 II 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 (2003) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa
Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Gregg House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its representation
of the distinguishing characteristics of the Neoclassical style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because
it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" representing the Neoclassical style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2). Character defining features of the Gregg House include, but may not be limited to: materials and
finishes (wood siding and columns); roof configuration, materials, and treatment ; massing and composition; fenestration
(multi-pane hung windows where extant); and architectural detailing.

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

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.
