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

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
tE
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT
2203 North Flower Street

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 Owners), then 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 Owners growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owners or apply for such relief as may be

or cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise
provided for in this Agreement or in City's regulations governing historic properties are

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social needs:
in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped -down version of the historic -eclectic styles popular in the 1920s, in
particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied requirements in
square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in this period to expand
home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its efforts to codify and
manufacture "a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could afford" (Greg Hise,
Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-story in height, often
with a front -gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the one-
story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof with a hipped or side
gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer accents. Fenestration
generally consists of multi -light casement, double -hung, and picture windows with wood frames. The eaves and rakes of
the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House style, which they often
resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often display decorative wood
shutters and porch -roof supports.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Jensen House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Contributive for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional 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 Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana (Municipal Code,
Section 30-2.2).

The Jensen House is significant as a representative example of a Minimal Traditional house from the middle decades of the
twentieth century in Santa Ana. The address first appears in the 1937 Santa Ana Directory with Louis R. Braasch listed as the
owner. Mr. Braasch was a Building Contractor. Charles J. Johnson was shown to have owned the home in 1941. In 1945
Inventor Arthur E. Jensen was living at the residence with his wife Jeannette Jensen. They lived in the home until 1954 when
Mrs. Margit R. was shown as the owner. The 1956 Santa Ana directory indicates that optometrist Gordon Sidney and his wife
Florence Sidney lived in the home until at least 1962. City of Santa Ana building permits show that an unpermitted porch
addition to the rear of the property was removed in 2010.

*810. 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 Jensen 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 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 E/ 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 lI 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 Jensen House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as "Contributive" for its
representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style. Character defining features of the Jensen
House include characteristic Minimal Traditional features: including the moderate pitch cross -gable roof, minimal architectural
detailing along front elevation including vertical flush wood cladding in the gable ends of the projecting front gable, roof eaves
with minimal overhang, multi -light wood windows with decorative shutters, a small octagonal casement window, lapped
horizontal and flush vertical wood boards, smooth stucco, and accent brick work at the porch. Character -defining exterior
features of the Jensen House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof
configuration; massing; windows; porch; and architectural details such as exposed beams and rafter tails, and accent brick
material.
