EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bradley Lewis Owen and Santiago Munoz Jr. are requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 824 North Garfield Street that is currently listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. DISCUSSION Project Location and Site Description The subject property, known as the Ayers House, consists of an existing single-story Bungalow/Craftsman style residence that is approximately 980 square feet in size on a 5,625-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 2). The Ayers House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. The home was subsequently added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties in 2002 and categorized as “Contributive.” Analysis of the Issues Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties. The property is listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as Contributive, making it eligible for a Mills Act agreement. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the HPPA No. 2020-18 - Ayers House March 25, 2021 Page 2 5 8 4 form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property In 2002, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Ayers House on the historical register and within the “contributive” category because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the French Park neighborhood through its style and type, is a “good example” of the Bungalow/Craftsman style and “has not been substantially altered.” In addition, the Ayers House was deemed architecturally significant as a representative example of a small Craftsman bungalow from the first decade of the twentieth century and as an important contributor to the French Park Historic District. Character-defining features of the Ayers House determined architecturally significant include, but are not limited to: gabled roof with rafter tails and broad eaves, attached porch with battered posts, and massing; materials (wood) and finishes (siding); roof configuration; massing; porch; windows and window surrounds; and architectural details. Since its listing on the Historic Register in 2002, the property owner has replaced the roof; changed out of one window and one man-door; remodeled the existing bathroom and kitchen; repaired siding on the residence and garage; and installed solar panels. The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-05 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $394.94 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

NO. ADDRESS 824 North Garfield Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92701 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1909 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT French Park NEIGHBORHOOD French Park NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C NATIONAL REGISTER STATUS CODE 1D Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by The Craftsman magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Ayers House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. Under the regulations implementing the California Register of Historical Resources, the building is also listed in the California Register. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as representative of the distinguishing characteristics of the Bungalow/Craftsman style from the first decade of the twentieth century. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the French Park neighborhood through its style and type, is a “good example” of the Bungalow/Craftsman style and “has not been substantially altered” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: circa 1880-1946 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Ayers House is architecturally significant as a representative example of a small Craftsman bungalow from the first decade of the twentieth century. It is also important as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. According to earlier research, the house was built for the retired Emmon Ayers. One year later, Charles and Carrie Preston resided in the home, staying for four years. Sylvester and Ida Deck were owners from 1912 until the late 1920s. Mr. Deck, a carpenter, was also the owner of a pool hall located at 412 North Main Street (Marsh, 1998). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

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. In 1877, Spurgeon, along with James McFadden and James Fruit, formed the Western Development Company with the intention of bringing the Southern Pacific Railroad from its then terminus in Anaheim into Santa Ana. Thinking to capitalize on commercial growth around the railroad, the partners purchased 160 acres adjacent to the eastern city boundary at French Street. Although they were successful in luring the Southern Pacific to a new depot on Fruit Street in Santa Ana in 1878, the expected commercial development of “Santa Ana East” never materialized. Early growth and development of the town continued to be centered further west around Fourth and Main Streets, with the result that the legacy of Santa Ana East is an angled street plan whose intersection with the original city is marked by a small, triangular parcel, developed in the 1890s as Flatiron Park, now known as French Park. Santa Ana continued to grow, stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange. Beginning in the 1880s and continuing well into the twentieth century, the area around the park began to be developed with many of the finest homes in Santa Ana. Examples of Victorian era, turn of the century, and Craftsman homes were built along the tree-lined streets. By the 1920s, most streets in the neighborhood were fully developed, although a few revival styled single family homes and duplexes were built during the 1920s, and a handful of apartments constructed in the 1930s. From the nineteenth century onwards, residents were a “Who’s Who” of early Santa Ana, and included bankers, attorneys, doctors, businessmen, ranchers, teachers and others active in the civic and social life of the city. Once known as the “Nob Hill” of Santa Ana, French Park declined in the 1940s and 1950s as some homes were converted into rooming houses and others were allowed to deteriorate. In the 1960s and 1970s some houses were demolished and the properties redeveloped with multi-family housing. However, a grass roots preservation effort begun in the late 1970s led to the establishment of a local historic district in 1984 and the listing of the neighborhood in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The Ayers House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. It is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and is located within the boundaries of the locally designated historic district. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as representative of the distinguishing characteristics of the Bungalow/Craftsman style from the first decade of the twentieth century. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the French Park neighborhood through its style and type, is a “good example” of the Bungalow/Craftsman style and “has not been substantially altered.” Characteristic Craftsman features include gabled roof with rafter tails and broad eaves, attached porch with battered posts, and massing. Character-defining exterior features of the Ayers House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials (wood) and finishes (siding); roof configuration; massing; porch; windows and window surrounds; and architectural details such as rafter tails. *B12.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Certified Local Government historic preservation programs are required to submit an annual report to the State Office of Historic Preservation and the National Park Service to summarize the achievement and activities of the local agency prior to the annual March 31, 2021 deadline. DISCUSSION Background The National Historic Preservation Act provides for the establishment of Certified Local Government Programs (CLG) to encourage the direct participation of local governments in the identification, evaluation, registration, and preservation of historic properties within their jurisdictions. In addition, the program promotes the integration of local preservation interests into local planning and decision-making processes. The program is a partnership among local governments, the State of California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), and the National Park Service (NPS), which is responsible for administering the National Historic Preservation Program. With City Council endorsement in 2001, the City of Santa Ana applied for and was accepted into the CLG program. Each year, CLG communities are required to submit an annual report to assist OHP in tracking the local preservation program's ongoing activities. The Santa Ana CLG Annual Report (Exhibit 1) will be submitted to California OHP prior to the March 31, 2021 deadline. The report summarizes the achievement and activities of Santa Ana’s Historic Preservation Program during the October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020 timeframe. These achievements include five Mills Act Certified Local Government 2019-2020 Annual Report March 25, 2021 Page 2 5 9 0 Agreements, seven certificates of appropriateness, continued efforts on the Draft Historic Preservation Element, and the Historic Resources Commission’s efforts to advise and make recommendations to the City Council, to enhance historic resource preservation within the City. The annual report also identifies goals for the Santa Ana Historic Program for 2020- 2021 such as complying with state legislation requiring inspection of Mills Act properties (Every 5 years), establishing Design Guidelines for historic properties; and undergoing Historic Contexts and Surveys. In addition, the City’s goals include addressing Historic Resources Commission and City Council directives for mid-term and long-term actions, including but not limited to: 1) updating design guidelines; 2) identifying neighborhoods as Historic Sensitive Areas (HSA); 3) providing workshops and conducting outreach in order to develop policies and guidelines for each HSA; 4) developing a Tree Preservation Ordinance; and 5) Developing a Local District Designation Program (develop goals, policies, procedures, etc.) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

What are your most critical preservation planning issues? The most critical preservation planning issues are making the Historic Preservation and Mills Act programs more accessible to larger parts of the community. In addition, preservation efforts in the City would be greatly enhanced by grant funding opportunities to prepare context statements, surveys, and creation of local historic districts. Lastly, the creation of policies that would enhance protection of the demolition or alteration of structures that have not been designated historic or surveyed, but that are over 50 years old and located within neighborhoods of potential historical significance. B. What is the single accomplishment of your local government this year that has done the most to further preservation in your community? Staff has continued work on establishing a separate Historic Preservation Element in the updated General Plan. The General Plan Update is anticipated to be complete by late 2021. Currently, the City has a Draft General Plan available for review: https://www.santa-ana.org/general-plan/draft-documents. The Draft Historic Preservation Element can be found here: https://www.santa- ana.org/sites/default/files/pb/general-plan/documents/Public%20Review%20Draft/3%20- %20Historic%20Preservation%20Element.pdf C. What recognition are you providing for successful preservation projects or programs? The third annual Historic Preservation Awards program was continued during the 2019-2020 reporting period to recognize and reward historic property owners who have rehabilitated or preserved historic resources. Two awards were granted this year and award winners were recognized at the February 2, 2021, City Council meeting. One of the two awards presented was for the Pacific Electric Sub-Station No. 14, which was originally constructed in 1907 and is architecturally and histor ically significant as the oldest standing structural feature of the Pacific Electric system in Orange County. The property was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 as an individual resource and is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. Certified Local Government Program -- 2019-2020 Annual Report (Reporting period is from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020) 13 D. How did you meet or not meet the goals identified in your annual report for last year? Goals for the Santa Ana Historic Program for 2018-2019 included complying with state legislation requiring inspection of Mills Act properties (Every 5 years), establishing Design Guidelines for historic properties; assisting more homeowners with State historic tax credits; and undergoing Historic Contexts and Surveys. These goals were not completely met but actions were taken to further meet these goals. For example, based on recommendations from the HRC, the City of Santa Ana City Council gave historic staff direction to: 1) Implement a Heightened Administrative Review process for buildings within a Historically Sensitive Area (HSA) by requiring the completion of a Supplement Survey Form and a heightened review process for all applications for properties with buildings 50 years or older and located within the HSA; 2) De velop policies for identifying and characterizing neighborhoods where historic properties are concentrated for identification as a Historically Sensitive Area (HSA) to be incorporated as part of the general plan policies within the new Historical Cultural Element and any other applicable Element; 3) Complete a comprehensive update to the residential and historic properties sections of the Citywide Design Guidelines; 4) Establish a process for outreaching to the community and developing and establishing a local historic district designation program for implementation; 5) Reduce the fee for a Mills Act Agreement to $2,500 and reduce the self-nomination application fee to $500 as part of the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2020-2021; and 6) Prepare a Citywide Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance. E. What are your local historic preservation goals for 2020-2021? Goals for the Santa Ana Historic Program for 2020- 2021 will continue to include complying with state legislation requiring inspection of Mills Act properties (Every 5 years), establishing Design Guidelines for historic properties; and undergoing Historic Contexts and Surveys. Moreover, goals will be established to address City Council directives for mid -term and long-term actions, including but not limited to, 1) updating design Guidelines; 2) Identifying of neighborhoods as Historic Sensitive Areas (HSA); 3) Provide workshops/outreach with neighborhoods Develop policies and guidelines for each HSA; 4) Develop a Tree Preservation Ordinance; and 5) Begin to develop a Local District Designation Program (develop goals, policies, procedures, etc.) F. So that we may better serve you in the future, are there specific areas and/or issues with which you could use technical assistance from OHP?

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Christopher C. Cecil and Britiny L. Froemmling as joint tenants are requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA) No. 2020-11 to allow exterior modifications consisting of a patio deck and an addition to the Dixon House located at 524 W 19th Street. The property was listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as “Contributive” in 2014. DISCUSSION Project Location and Site Description The subject property is located on the south side of West 19th Street in the Floral Park neighborhood. The General Plan land use designation for the site is Low Density Residential (LR-7) and the zoning district is Single-Family Residential (R-1). The property consists of an existing one story Craftsman Bungalow styled residence that is approximately 1,278 square feet in size with a detached garage on a 0.17-acre residential lot. The property is known as the Dixon House and is individually listed as No. 591 on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties; the property is categorized as “Contributive.” The Dixon House has distinctive architectural features of the Craftsman Bungalow style and was built in 1923 by W.H. Dixon. The Craftsman Bungalow house is characterized by its rectangular shaped plan and sheathed in wood clapboard siding. The structure has a broad front porch running the length of the front façade, and is symmetrical in design. The front entry is straddled with two tripartite windows, casement on each side of a picture PUBLIC HEARING March 25, 2021 Page 2 5 7 9 window with wood valance. The gable ends have simple planked attic vents. Character- defining features of the Dixon House that are identified in the Department of Parks and Recreation Historic Property Description include, but may not be limited to, exterior materials, wood windows and fenestration patterns, massing, and original front door. Project Description The proposed exterior modifications will include a 358-square-foot master bedroom suite and kitchen nook addition and an uncovered patio deck at the rear of the house. In order to accommodate the addition, the applicant is proposing to demolish walls of the existing kitchen and rear bedroom, along the south and west elevations, as well as remove and relocate existing windows from the south elevation to the rear of the bedroom addition and side of the nook addition. The remodeled kitchen will be extended by eight feet for a nook and the remodeled master bedroom will be extended by 18 feet to incorporate a full bathroom and walk-in closet. The proposed addition will be approximately 14 to 16 feet in height, which is lower than the existing building height of 18 feet, and will include relocated single hung wood windows, one new casement window for the master bathroom, as well as new clapboard siding and matching pitch roof. All work is proposed to be located to the rear of the property. Analysis of the Issues As proposed, the project will follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOIS) for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, & Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Kay D. Weeks and Anne E. Grimmer, revised 2017). The proposed exterior modifications would be considered a rehabilitation project and as such be evaluated against ten (10) criteria. Staff has reviewed the proposed modifications in comparison to the SOIS. The following is a review of the findings as they pertain to the applicable criteria: 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal changes to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. The project complies with Standard No. 1. The property currently maintains its historic use as a single-family residence. The use is not proposed to change. The interior configuration will remain substantially the same with the addition providing enhanced functionality. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. PUBLIC HEARING March 25, 2021 Page 3 5 7 9 The project complies with Standard No. 2. The historic character of the subject property will be retained and preserved. The proposed single story addition has been designed to remove as little historic material as possible, and will be located on a secondary non-character defining façade, toward the rear of the structure, where it will not be generally visible from the public right-of-way. The proposed exterior alterations will not alter the primary north (front) elevation, or any important spatial relationships that characterize the property. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. The project complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed changes will not create a false sense of historical development. The proposed addition will read as contemporary in comparison to the existing single-family residence which incorporates distinctive architectural features of the Craftsman Bungalow style. The addition will have a matching pitch roof to the existing house but lower in height to distinguish it from the historic structure and is designed to be compatible with the existing scale and massing of the residence. Therefore, the architectural treatment will read as contemporary, not conjectural. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. Standard 4 does not apply as the project will not remove any significant features that were added over time. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved. The project complies with Standard No. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the property will be preserved. The project does not propose to remove character- defining features or materials/finishes along the primary elevation. The project proposes to remove walls and relocate windows along the south (rear) and west (side) elevations which are not readily visible from the public right-of-way. 6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. PUBLIC HEARING March 25, 2021 Page 4 5 7 9 Standard 6 does not apply as the proposed project does not deal with issues of deterioration of existing materials or replacement of existing features. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. Standard 7 does not apply as the project will not involve chemical or physical treatments on the building and will be in full compliance with the Standards. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. Standard 8 does not apply as there will be no ground disturbing activity. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. The project complies with Standard No. 9. The new addition will not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial relationships that characterize the property. The proposed addition is located at the rear in an area that is not readily visible from the public right-of-way. Important spatial relationships characterizing the Craftsman Bungalow architectural style will not be disturbed, as the addition is only single story, positioned to the rear of the existing house, and will not alter the existing roof line. The new addition will be differentiated from old, with a lower matching pitch roof, a skylight in the roof of the nook extension, and clerestory windows at the rear gable end of the bedroom extension. These features allow the addition to appear subordinate to, and not overwhelm the existing massing, while also preserving the historic sense of the existing roof line. The materials of the new addition will also be compatible with the existing historic materials, through the use of similar materials. Lastly, the new and relocated wood windows will be designed to match the existing windows. 10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. The project complies with Standard No. 10. The proposed project is considered generally reversible as it does not remove essential aspects of the building’s form and materials. The proposed addition will be located in the rear of the house, where it is not generally visible from the public right-of-way, and avoids the most PUBLIC HEARING March 25, 2021 Page 5 5 7 9 significant and character-defining features. The essential form of the house and the vast majority of its historic materials will remain unimpaired. In conclusion, staff has determined that the project complies with The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Specifically, the analysis indicates that the proposed addition would be compatible and consistent with the existing architectural elements that reflect the original Craftsman Bungalow construction while being mindful not to disturb the historic materials that characterize the property. By localizing the scope of work towards the rear of the house and differentiating the new work from the old, the property will maintain its historic and character-defining features. Most importantly, due to the additive nature, the addition will allow for the option for it to be removed in such a way that the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. The role of the Historic Resources Commission is to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness upon finding that the proposed modifications do not substantially change the character and integrity of the historic properties per Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards per CEQA and the City’s Certified Local Government agreement with the State of California. Staff finds that the historic exterior modification application meets the necessary criteria to be awarded a Certificate of Appropriateness and should be approved. It is also recommended that staff approve the exact materials and finishes to be used prior to installation to ensure quality and compatibility.

These bmps shall be maintained and inspected daily.10.All temporary portable restrooms must have a catchment pan and must be located at least 50 feet away from any storm draininlets.11.Pollutants are any substances introduced into the environment that adversely affects the usefulness of a resource. Potentialpollutants include, but are not limited to: sediment; solid or liquid chemicals such as: paints, stains, sealants, solvents, detergents, glues,lime, pesticide, herbicide, fertilizers, wood preservatives and asbestos fibers, paint flakes or stucco fragments; fuels, oils, lubricants, andhydraulic, radiator or battery fluids; concrete, and related cutting or curing residues; floatable wastes; wastes from engine / equipmentsteam cleaning or chemical degreasing; wastes from street cleaning; and super-chlorinated potable water from line flushings and testing.12.During construction, disposal of such materials should occur in a specified and controlled manner. A designated temporary areaon-site shall be physically separated from potential stormwater runoff, with ultimate disposal in accordance with local, state and federalrequirements.13.Discharging contaminated groundwater, produced by dewatering groundwater that has infiltrated into the construction site isprohibited. Discharging of contaminated soils via surface erosion is also prohibited. Discharging non-contaminated groundwaterproduced by dewatering activities requires a national pollutants discharge elimination system (npdes) permit from the respective stateregional water quality control board.14.Discharges of storm water from construction sites shall not be laden with sediment. All storm water discharges must be relativelyfree of sediment.15.All contractors and construction personnel shall meet the regulatory construction requirements on the project site in compliancewith the city’s municipal code 14.25, stormwater and urban runoff management and municipal code 17.05, grading and excavation code.NATIONAL POLLUTANTS DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) NOTES SCALEPROPOSED SITE PLAN21/8"=1'-0"LOT DESCRIPTIONTRACK: 256A.P.N: 002-104-13524 W. 19TH STREETCONSTRUCTION TYPEV-B(NOT - SPRINKLERED)LAND USAGE ZONE(OCCUPANCY)R1 (SINGLE FAM.RESIDENTIAL)RESIDENTIAL# OF STORIES: 1SITE SUMMARYPARCEL/LOT AREA:7,500 SFPROPOSED LOTCOVERAGE: 2,134 S.F.LOT COVERAGE: 28.5%BUILDING SUMMARY(E) FIRST FLOOR PLAN:1,232 S.F.(E) COVERED PORCH:151 S.F.(E) GARAGE AREA:393 S.F.PROPOSED AREAS(N) FIRST FLOOR PLAN:358 S.F.(N) SECOND FLOOR PLAN:N/A(N) GARAGE AREA:N/A1111223456 SIDE PROPERTY LINE - 150.00'SIDE SETBACK - 5'SIDE PROPERTY LINE - 150.00'SIDE SETBACK - 5'3'-3"RELOCATE BAR UNITOWNERSHIP AND USE OF DOCUMENTS DATE:DRAWN:PROJECT NO:REVIEWED:SHEET NO:ISSUE DATESNo.DATEDESCRIPTIONSHEET TITLE:11/4/20SPACE PLANNINGISSUE:DESIGN REVISION 2/9/21 CONSULTANTS:SEAL AND STAMP:WRITTEN DIMENSIONS SHALL TAKE PREFERENCE OVER SCALED DIMENSIONS AND SHALL BE VERIFIED ON THE JOB SITE.

Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2020- 09 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2020-08 (Exhibit 1). 2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Andres and Lynda Matzkin, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Andres and Lynda Matzkin are requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2042 North Victoria Drive to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana. On October 29, 2020, the Historic Resources Commission (HRC) held a public hearing to discuss the placement of 2042 North Victoria Drive onto the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. However, at the public hearing the HRC expressed concerns regarding staff’s recommendation regarding the structure’s architectural style of Minimal Traditional. Specifically, the HRC felt that the architectural style would be better identified as the Monterey architectural style. Therefore, the HRC continued the item to afford City staff time to affirm the most appropriate architectural style with the City’s historic consultant, Chattel, Inc. Chattel’s analysis indicates that the structure’s architectural style is Minimal Traditional based on its character-defining elements. A summary of Chattel’s subsequent assessment on the architectural style is provided as part of the discussion below. HRCA No. 2020-09, HRC 2020-08, HPPA No. 2020-11 - The Hamilton-Schoppert House March 25, 2021 Page 2 5 7 3 DISCUSSION Project Location and Site Description The subject property is located on the west side of North Victoria Drive in the Floral Park neighborhood. The site consists of a 3,277-square-foot, Minimal Traditional residence and attached garage on a 14,374-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3). Analysis of the Issues Architectural Assessment Leslie Heumann, Principal Architectural Historian with Chattel, Inc., provided an additional architectural assessment. The analysis summarizes that the house has a balcony, similar massing, and some of the American Colonial Revival influences that would typically characterize the Monterey Revival architectural style. While it could be called a very late example of the Monterey Revival, the Monterey Revival was largely a pre-World War II style. More importantly, it was a “fusion” of Spanish Colonial and American Colonial Revival styles, growing out of mid-19th century Monterey, CA, when new settlers from the east combined wood vernacular and American Colonial idioms with the adobe architecture that had prevailed in Monterey up to that point. This house was built in 1956, post-World War II, and has no trace of Spanish Colonial Revival style. Moreover, several details of this house are also not typical of the Monterey Revival style, including the shed-roofed entry porch that is perpendicular to the main, two-story volume; the facade projections (bay window beneath the balcony on the first floor and stepped facade of the one-story wing); cross-gabled roof treatment of the one-story wing; lack of classical detailing (or Spanish detailing) of the window and door surrounds; and the window types, dimensions, and divisions of lights. Chattel’s analysis concludes that existing resources (McAlester 1984) further note that within the Minimal Traditional style, “…occasional two-story examples are also seen. More commonly, two-story houses of the period have extra detailing and represent late of examples of one of the traditional Eclectic styles, usually Colonial Revival or Monterey.” However, because of this particular property’s deviations from the Monterey, the McAlester's description of the Minimal Traditional as a “…compromise style which reflects the form of traditional Eclectic houses but lacks their decorative detailing,” was more applicable. Therefore, it’s recommended that the recommendation regarding the structure’s architectural style remain as Minimal Traditional. Historical Listing In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. HRCA No. 2020-09, HRC 2020-08, HPPA No. 2020-11 - The Hamilton-Schoppert House March 25, 2021 Page 3 5 7 3 The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the property is 65 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Hamilton-Schoppert House, is located within the Floral Park neighborhood boundaries and has distinctive architectural features of the Minimal Traditional style. The residence was built in 1956 by V.J. Anderson. A majority of Floral Park was developed by prominent local builder Allison Honer who was credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell, continued developing the groves of Floral Park. In the early post World War II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a gable-and-wing roof design, with a low- pitched front-facing gable design on the first floor, and exhibits wide, overhanging, open eaves at the first floor along the side (north and south) elevations and at the second floor, along the front (east) and rear (west) elevations. The house exhibits little to no eaves at the first floor along the front (east) elevations and at the second floor along the side (north and south) elevations. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing and the exterior walls are clad in smooth stucco, brick wall cladding along the primary elevation, and horizontal wood clapboard siding on the first floor gable ends. Located in the middle of the front elevation, a small entry portico is characterized by a recessed front entry with overhanging front-façade roof and simple wood porch supports with triangular braces to each side. The entry features a wide six-panel wood door with two half-height sidelights flanking the doorway and a divided-light metal casement picture window adjacent to the entry door. The northern and southern portion of the front elevation also feature large divided-light steel casement windows. Along the north, south, and west elevation, the building incorporates a series of divided-light steel windows, including casement, four-over-four sashes, and corner windows with corner supports. An exterior brick chimney located along the side (south) elevation rises above the roof ridgeline. Character-defining features of the Hamilton-Schoppert House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (brick, stucco, horizontal wood board siding; gable-and-wing roof design with wide, HRCA No. 2020-09, HRC 2020-08, HPPA No. 2020-11 - The Hamilton-Schoppert House March 25, 2021 Page 4 5 7 3 overhanging, open eaves; brick chimney; wood porch supports with triangular braces to each side; and divided-light metal windows. The Hamilton-Schoppert House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion No. 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style, dating from the second period of development on North Victoria Lane. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Santa Ana, and, as an early and intact example of the Minimal Traditional style in the Floral Park neighborhood, “is a good example of period architecture.” Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. Public Notification This public hearing item was originally scheduled for the October 29, 2020, HRC meeting. At that time, the president of the Floral Park Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the October 29, 2020, HRC meeting the HRC continued the HRCA No. 2020-09, HRC 2020-08, HPPA No. 2020-11 - The Hamilton-Schoppert House March 25, 2021 Page 5 5 7 3 item to a date certain. Therefore, no additional public notification was required for this meeting. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2020-68 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $735.55 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

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). In a reflection of the Tudor and English Revival styles they mimic, 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 preceding styles, 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 display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports. By the 1950s, the Minimal Traditional home was replaced by the Ranch House as the style of choice for middle-class housing and large tract-house developments. (McAlester, pp. 476-78). SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Hamilton-Schoppert House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style, dating from the second period of development on North Victoria Lane. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it "contributes to the overall character and history” of Santa Ana, and, as an early and intact example of the Minimal Traditional style in the Floral Park neighborhood, “is a good example of period architecture.” EXPLANATION OF CODES:  California Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, Technical Assistance Series # 7, “How to Nominate Resources to the California Register of Historical Resources,” September 4, 2001.) 3:It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values.  It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values. 5S3:Individual property that is listed or designated locally.

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, this is a two-story single-family residence constructed in a Minimal Traditional style. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a gable-and-wing roof design, with a low-pitched side gable capping a two-story section on the south and a cross gable topping the one-story north wing. The roof exhibits wide, overhanging, open eaves at the first floor along the side (north and south) elevations and at the second floor, along the front (east) and rear (west) elevations. Very shallow eaves characterize the first floor along the front (east) elevations and at the second floor along the side (north and south) elevations. The roof is covered in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in smooth stucco accented by areas of brick veneers on the primary elevation and horizontal wood clapboard siding on the first floor gable ends. Centered on the front elevation, a small entry portico is sheltered by a shed roof set on simple wood porch supports with triangular braces to each side. The entry features a wide, six-panel, wood door with two half-height sidelights flanking the doorway and a divided-light metal casement picture window adajcent to the entry door. The northern and southern sections of the front elevation each feature large, divided-light, steel casement windows. Along the north, south, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series of divided-light steel windows, including casement, four-over-four sashes, and corner windows with corner supports. An exterior brick chimney attached to the side (south) elevation rises above the roof ridgeline. The property is landscaped with a mature tree, a lawn, low vegetation and a decorative walkway at the front setback. The driveway leads to a one-story, stucco-clad, one-car garage, built at the same time as the residence and connected by a breezeway. The house appears intact and is in good condition. *P3b.

Also address integrity) The Hamilton-Schoppert House is architecturally significant as an intact and characteristic example of the Minimal Traditional style, dating from the second period of development on North Victoria Lane. It was built in 1956 by V.J. Anderson and the first known residents were Dwight C. and Frances L. Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton was born in Iowa in 1905, was a U.S. Marine Corps radio operator for the steamship, “Ruth Alexander;” President of the Century Toastmasters: and Assistant Trust Officer for the First National Bank. Mrs. Hamilton was born in 1907, was a teacher at Hoover School, and was on the board of the Santa Ana Community Players, a local theatre group. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton remained at the property until it was sold to William V. and Anna J. Schoppert in 1974. Mr. Schoppert was a U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sergeant during WWII. After returning from the war Mr. Schoppert dedicated himself to the farming of strawberries. According to city directories, Mr. and Mrs. Schoppert remained at the property until Mr. Schoppert’s death. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

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 Hamilton-Schoppert 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 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 (2021) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Hamilton-Schoppert House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style, dating from the second period of development on North Victoria Lane. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it "contributes to the overall character and history” of Santa Ana, and, as an early and intact example of the Minimal Traditional style in the Floral Park neighborhood, “is a good example of period architecture.” Character defining features of the Hamilton-Schoppert House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (brick, stucco, horizontal wood board siding; gable-and-wing roof design with wide, overhanging, open eaves; brick chimney; wood porch supports with triangular braces to each side; and divided-light metal windows. *B12.

Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021- 01 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2021-01 (Exhibit 1). 2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Chad Barker, subject to non- substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Chad Barker is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2014 North Flower Street to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana. DISCUSSION Project Location and Site Description The subject property is located on the west side of North Flower Street in the Floral Park neighborhood. The site consists of a 1,656-square-foot, Minimal Traditional residence and detached garage on an 8,265-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3). Analysis of the Issues Historical Listing In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site HRCA No. 2021-01, HRC 2021-01, HPPA No. 2021-01 - The Witt House March 25, 2021 Page 2 5 7 7 having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the property is 80 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Witt House, is located within the Floral Park neighborhood and has distinctive architectural features of the Minimal Traditional style. The residence was built in 1941 by prominent developer and builder Allison Honer. A majority of Floral Park was developed by Honer who was credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell, continued developing the groves of Floral Park. In the early post World War II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. This one-story, single-family residence is “L” shaped in design and clad in a light smooth stucco. The house features a low-pitched, gable-and-wing roof design with the front-facing gable protruding into the front yard. The roof is clad in composition shingles and features little or no overhang. Architectural detailing along front elevation includes horizontal wood cladding in the front gable end and prominent brick chimney. A front entry is created by a partial-width porch is supported by simple paired square porch supports. Fenestration along the facade (east elevation) includes large six-over-six, wood double-hung windows, including at the projecting front gable and front entry— most with decorative shutters. The fenestration along the north, south, and west elevation include a series of eight-over-eight, six-over-six, three-over-three, and single pane wood double-hung windows, most without decorative shutters. A detached garage at the rear of the property is also clad in smooth stucco with minimal overhangs. Although it appears that the windows have been replaced, the property retains enough overall integrity, appears intact and is in good condition. Character-defining exterior features of the Witt House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration; massing; windows; porch; chimney, and architectural details such as horizontal wood cladding in the front gable end, prominent brick chimney, and accent brick material at the front entry. The Witt House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing dating from the year just prior to World War II and Criterion 2, for its association with influential and prominent local builder, HRCA No. 2021-01, HRC 2021-01, HPPA No. 2021-01 - The Witt House March 25, 2021 Page 3 5 7 7 Allison Honer. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Floral Park and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing the Minimal Traditional architecture style in Santa Ana. Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. Public Notification The subject site is located within the Floral Park Neighborhood Association. The president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions HRCA No. 2021-01, HRC 2021-01, HPPA No. 2021-01 - The Witt House March 25, 2021 Page 4 5 7 7 are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-02 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $911.06 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

A view corridor enabling the general public to see the Historic Property from the public right-of-way shall be maintained, and Owner shall not be permitted to block the view corridor to the property with any new structure, such as walls, fences or shrubbery, so as to prevent the viewing of the historic landmark by the public. d. The following are prohibited: demolition of the Historic Property or destruction of character-defining features of the building or site; removal of trees and other major vegetation unless removal is approved by a rehabilitation plan approved by the Historic Resources Commission; paving of yard surface; exterior alterations or additions unless approved by the Historic Resources Commission and such alterations are in keeping with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards; deteriorating, dilapidated or unrepaired structures such as fences, roofs, doors, walls, and windows; storage of junk, trash, debris, discarded or unused objects such as cars, appliances, or furniture; and other unsightly by decoration, structure or vegetation which is unsightly by reason of its height, condition, or inappropriate location. e.

Furnishing of Information. The Owner hereby agrees 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 in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has 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 Owner 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 Owner 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 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 2014 North Flower Street Santa Ana, CA 92706 - 4 - property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to 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.

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 Witt House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing dating from the year just prior to World War II. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Floral Park and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing the Minimal Traditional architecture style in Santa Ana (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The Witt House is an intact example of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing dating from the year just prior to World War II. This one-story, single-family residence is “L” shaped in design and clad in a light smooth stucco. The house features a low-pitched, gable-and-wing roof design with the front-facing gable protruding into the front yard. The roof is clad in composition shingles and features little or no overhang. Architectural detailing on the north, projecting wing facade elevation includes horizontal wood cladding in the front gable end and prominent, attached, and centered brick chimney. The main entry faces south into a partial-width porch that fronts the south, set back, side-gabled wing. The porch roof, an extension of the main roof, is supported by simple, paired, square poposts. The front entry features a simple six-panel wood door and is enclosed by low brick wall. Fenestration along the facade (east elevation) includes large six-over-six, wood double-hung windows, including at the projecting front gable and front entry—most with decorative shutters. The fenestration along the north, south, and west elevation include a series of eight-over-eight, six-over-six, three-over-three, and single pane wood double-hung and casement windows, most without decorative shutters. The west (rear) elevation features a partial- width extended patio cover, also supported by simple paired square porch supports and partially clad in horizontal wood cladding. A detached, front-gabled garage at the rear of the property is also clad in smooth stucco with minimal overhangs. A mature evergreen shading the front lawn appears to date from the same, if not earlier period, as the house. Although it appears that the windows have been replaced, the property retains enough overall integrity to convey its age and style and is in good condition. *P3b.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1941 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Witt House is significant as a representative example of a Minimal Traditional house, typical of the period just before World War II and the post-war popularity of the ranch style. It was built in 1941 by prominent developer and builder Allison Honer, the subdivider of Floral Park. The house was first sold to Oscar Solomon Witt, a long time Santa Ana resident and farmer who married his wife Blanche Talcott in Santa Ana in 1909. Witt raised various fruits and citrus. In 1958, the property was sold to Olive M. Hadley, a bookkeeper, stenographer, and divorcee. Ms. Hadley frequently moved within Orange County, beginning in the 1920’s, settling at 1812 Heliotrope in 1964. In 1959, the property was transferred to Hyman and Rose Rosen, a Jewish family who came to America prior to World War I and migrated from the East coast to Los Angeles where Hyman worked in the garment industry prior to 1920. Mr. and Mrs. Rosen would later move to Orange County and become involved in residential real estate in their shared retirement. The property was transferred to Raymond W. Townsend and Dorothy M. Townsend in 1960. Mr. Townsend came to Santa Ana after World War I and worked as a car salesman before he operated his own dealership on South Main Street near downtown. He was one of the first operators of a Hudson Garage in Santa Ana in 1921. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.

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 Witt 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 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 (2021) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Witt House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing dating from the year just prior to World War II. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Floral Park and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing the Minimal Traditional architecture style in Santa Ana. Character-defining exterior features of the Witt House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (stucco and clapboard in the gable end); roof configuration; massing; original fenestration pattern; porch; chimney, and architectural details such as shutters, prominent brick chimney, and accent brick material at the front entry. *B12.

The site consists of a 1,108-square-foot, Spanish Colonial Revival residence and detached garage on a 7,500-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3). Analysis of the Issues Historical Listing In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site HRCA No. 2021-14, HRC 2021-14, HPPA No. 2021-20 - The Elwood Bear House March 25, 2021 Page 2 5 8 1 having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the property is 98 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Elwood Bear House, is located within the Floral Park neighborhood and has distinctive architectural features of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The residence was originally constructed in 1923 and was valued at approximately $4,750, according to the original building permit. A majority of Floral Park was developed by prominent developer and builder Allison Honer who was credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell, continued developing the groves of Floral Park. In the early post World War II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. The house is asymmetric in design and clad in a light smooth stucco finish. A stepped parapet, with clay barrel tile coping, shields the rear (south) half of the roof along the south, east, and west elevations. The front (north), cross-gabled, half of the roof that once featured a red composition slate tile roof is now covered in composition shingles with rolled edges with little or no overhang. The façade (north elevation) consists of three bays, each containing a tripartite window grouping. The right (west) bay is capped by a front-facing gable, whose extended west rake tops an arched opening in a wing wall. Centered beneath the front gable is a set of three, multi-light, wood, arched windows of Palladian inspiration. With a fixed center and composed in an A-B-A pattern, the windows are separated by engaged spiral colonnettes. The recessed center bay is fronted by an uncovered patio area, enclosed by a low wall and featuring terracotta tile pavers along the front steps and porch floor. The left bay features a shed roof extension of the side gable that terminates at a lower height than the rest of the bays. Fenestration along the side (east and west) elevations consists of six-over-six, wood, double-hung windows, and multi-light wood casement windows, some shaded by fabric awnings. Character-defining features of the Elwood Bear House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco); unusual shingled tile roof configuration, materials, and treatment (clay barrel tile coping and rolled edges); massing and composition; Palladian-influenced treatments of the façade windows; fenestration; front patio enclosure (waist high wall and terracotta tile pavers); and original exterior lighting and lighting bracket. HRCA No. 2021-14, HRC 2021-14, HPPA No. 2021-20 - The Elwood Bear House March 25, 2021 Page 3 5 8 1 The Elwood Bear House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a very intact and well-documented example of a Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in Santa Ana. It appears very much as it was pictured in the Santa Ana Register advertisement published on June 16, 1923. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because it has a “distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana, featuring distinctive features include the Palladian-influenced treatments of the façade windows, unusual shingled tile roof, and front patio enclosure. Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. Public Notification The subject site is located within the Floral Park Neighborhood Association. The president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public. HRCA No. 2021-14, HRC 2021-14, HPPA No. 2021-20 - The Elwood Bear House March 25, 2021 Page 4 5 8 1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-07 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $769.46 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

ADDRESS 520 West Nineteenth Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1923 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Key HISTORIC DISTRICT None NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Spanish Colonial Revival The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include curved parapets (or espadaña); red tiled roofs and coping; low-pitched roofs, often with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets, and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry, balconies and patios, window grilles, and wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Elwood Bear House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a very intact and well-documented example of a Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because it has a “distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana, exhibiting distinctive features such as the Palladian-influenced treatments of the façade windows, unusual shingled tile roof, and front patio enclosure (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The Elwood Bear House is a one-story house constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style. The house is asymmetric in design and clad in a light smooth stucco finish. A stepped parapet, with clay barrel tile coping, shields the rear (south) half of the roof along the south, east, and west elevations. The front (north), cross-gabled, half of the roof which once featured a red composition slate tile roof is now covered in composition shingles with rolled edges with little or no overhang. The façade (north elevation) consists of three bays, each containing a tripartite window grouping. The right (west) bay is capped by a front-facing gable, whose extended west rake tops an arched opening in a wing wall. Centered beneath the front gable is a set of three, multi-light, wood, arched windows of Palladian inspiration. With a fixed center and composed in an A- B-A pattern, the windows are separated by engaged spiral colonnettes. The recessed center bay is fronted by an uncovered patio area, enclosed by a low wall and featuring terracotta tile pavers along the front steps and porch floor. A non-original entry door is oriented perpendicular to the street and is shaded by a fabric awning. North of the entry, a large, stuccoed bracket from which a wrought iron and glass lantern is suspended, extends to the north over the patio wall. Three flat- headed, multi-light, wood, casement windows, also with a fixed center, overlook the patio. The left bay features a shed roof extension of the side gable that terminates at a lower height than the rest of the bays. Tucked beneath the eave line, a third tripartite grouping of wood casement windows, features an arched center window with radiating muntins in the Palladian manner flanked by shorter, eight-light, flat-headed windows.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1923 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Elwood Bear House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. This house was originally constructed in 1923 and was valued at approximately $4,750, according to the original building permit. At the time of its construction, the listed property owner was Elwood Hartman Bear, a notable violin soloist both on the East Coast and as an instructor in the City of Santa Ana. Bear arrived in Santa Ana in 1921 from Pennsylvania while under the instruction of both Henry Schradieck and Frederick Hahn, two of the most noted violinists during that time. Bear instructed students both from his home and from the Santa Ana Conservatory of Music. Prior to coming to Santa Ana, Bear served in the army during World War I, as director of the training camp band at Camp Lee, Virginia. Apparently, Bear initially intended to sell this house, fully furnished. It was featured in a full page advertisement, with a photograph, editorial commentary, and advertisements from all of the building subcontractors in the Santa Ana Register on June 16, 1923 and was open for inspection for eight days. The 1923 photograph substantiates the integrity of the house; only the front door and roof have been replaced and the landscaping has evolved. Despite his intentions, Bear and his wife Cora occupied the house into the early 1940s, according to city directories and voter registration records. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) B11.

Description (continued): Fenestration along the side (east and west) elevations consists of six-over-six, wood, double-hung windows, and multi-light wood casement windows, some shaded by fabric awnings. A secondary entry on the east elevation faces the driveway and is characterized by a simple wood multi-panel door, also shaded by a fabric awning. A small patio cover is attached to the rear of the residence, but due to their location and design, they do not impact the integrity of the building. There is a one-story detached garage (built in 1954) at the rear of the property that not considered a character-defining feature. The property is generally landscaped with low vegetation, shrubs, and lawn. The property retains a high degree of integrity. *B10. Significance (continued): In 1945, the home was sold to Hans and Lenora Haug. In 1949, the home was sold to Ivan F. and Hazel I. Macy. Mr. Macy worked locally as a laborer and later as a building inspector. Mr. Macy passed in 1968 and Mrs. Hazel resided in the home until 1981. The home was subsequently sold to James R. Trevorrow who resided at the property until 2000 until it was sold to Gary and Susan Weber. 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 Elwood Bear 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 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 (2021) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Elwood Bear House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a very intact and well-documented example of a Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in Santa Ana. It appears very much as it was pictured in a Santa Ana Register advertisement published on June 16, 1923. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because it has a “distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana, exhibiting distinctive features such as the Palladian-influenced treatments of the façade windows, unusual shingled tile roof, and front patio enclosure. Character-defining features of the Elwood Bear House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco); unusual shingled tile roof configuration, materials, and treatment (clay barrel tile coping and rolled edges); massing and composition; Palladian-influenced treatments of the façade windows; fenestration; front patio enclosure (waist high wall and terracotta tile pavers); and original exterior lighting and lighting bracket. *B12.

MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 520 West Nineteenth Street Santa Ana, CA 92706 - 1 - 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 MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 520 West Nineteenth Street Santa Ana, CA 92706 - 2 - 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.
