Re: Cypress Fire Station & City Council Meeting held on 5-19-2020 & Item 85B
85B.
DISCUSS AND CONSIDER DIRECTING CITY MANAGER TO DIRECT STAFF TO
DRAFT ORDINANCE WITHIN 30 DAYS THAT PROVIDES REQUIREMENTS TO BE
INCORPORATED INTO THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ENHANCE
SECURITY, PREVENT TRESPASSING, AND MAINTAIN CLEAN APPEARANCE
FOR VACANT PROPERTIES - Councilmembers Bacerra and Penaloza
To Mayor and City Councilmembers,
At the City Council Meeting held on May 19, 2020 I was disappointed that during
discussion of Item 85B there was NO mention of the historic Cypress Fire Station.
The Cypress Fire Station is #15 on the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties
and is located in Ward 2 @ 625 S. Cypress Avenue, in Pacific Park Neighborhood.
Property neglect and code violations have been observed and documented over
many years. Both the neighborhood and preservation community suffer from the
affects this property's deterioration and over time from vandalize a loss
of character defining architectural features.
As Staff moves forward with a DRAFT ORDINANCE THAT PROVIDES
REQUIREMENTS TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL
CODE TO ENHANCE SECURITY, PREVENT TRESPASSING, AND MAINTAIN
CLEAN APPEARANCE FOR VACANT PROPERTIES - it is of utmost importance that
ALL currently listed Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties should come first
and ALL property owners be held equal responsible, including the City. Please
note that a property regarded by the City as "surplus property" should not be
exempt or held separate, now & under the new ordinance from all other vacant
or neglected properties.
* A sample violations at the Cypress Fire Station are shown in the photos below -
Thank you,
Ginelle Hardy
Historic Resources Commissioner
Heninger Park, President
