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.

ADDRESS 2424 North Bonnie Brae CITY Santa Ana ZIP 927C ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1950 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A 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Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch House Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post -World War II residential expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch House originated in the 1930's designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the West's vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist's concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor -outdoor integration. While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character -defining features applies to most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board -and -batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor -outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond -patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses. SUMMARYICONCLUSION: The Clarence Bond House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as characteristic and intact example of a post -World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. Its most notable feature is the metal -framed, multi -light facade fenestration. Other typical features include overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it contributes to the post -World War II character and history of Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, this is a one-story, single-family residence on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a typical setback and constructed in a Ranch House style. An attached two -car garage is located behind (south of) the south end of the rear elevation and is connected by a breezeway. The house and garage delineate a reversed "L" -shaped plan, which embraces a generously sized rear patio enclosure. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a long roof ridge running parallel to the front fagade (north elevation). It features a moderately pitched, side -gabled roof design with an extension over a partial width porch along the front elevation and a projecting front -gabled wing at the west end of the facade. The roof design exhibits wide-open eaves with exposed rafters along the all elevations. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of smooth stucco, broad vertical and horizontal siding, board -and -batten siding, and brick. Centered on the fagade, the partial -width porch is divided into three bays by slender posts that support the roof extension. At the west end of the porch, the entry contains a single, half -glazed, front door with a cross bottom panel and a single side light. East of the entry, the living room is illuminated by a large metal -framed, multi -light picture window, with a large central pane flanked by two casement windows. Two metal -framed, multi -light, double casement windows framed by wood shutters occupy the end bays of the facade. Along the east, south, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series metal -framed, multi -light casement windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. Alterations to the house include the removal of original wood shake roof, enclosure of the original rear porch, window changeouts, and enclosure of a nook at east side of house. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house appears intact and is in good condition. The properly is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and a single brick walkway leading towards the front entry. *13311b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1950 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 Clarence Bond House is architecturally significant as an intact and characteristic example of a post -World War 11 Ranch style house in Santa Ana. This house was originally constructed in 1950, by John N. Galbraith for George Clarence Bond (1900-1980) and wife Hazel M. Bond (1901-1985), the first, longest and most notable owners and occupants of this home during its period of significance. Mr. Bond was in business with his father G.W. Bond in the business of selling investment bonds. The business began in Santa Ana in 1925 and was a success before and during the depression due to the marketing of bonds for public infrastructure improvement throughout the County. Clarence and Hazel Bond would own and occupy the home for over 25 years until their individual deaths in the early 1980s. (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 Clarence Bond 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 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue. In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War 11 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 Clarence Bond House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as characteristic and intact example of a post -World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. Its most notable feature is the metal -framed, multi -light fagade fenestration. Other typical features include overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it contributes to the post -World War 11 character and history of Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features of the Clarence Bond House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: metal -framed, multi -light fagade fenestration; overall horizontality, combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. *1312.

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 MILLSACTAGBEEMENT 2424 North Bonnie Brae Santa Ana, CA 92706 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. da NEW YORK STATE NOTARY ACKNOWLEDGMENT THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF On the day of in the year before me, the undersigned, personally appeared, Alfred Frank Weitzman, personally known to me or proved to me on the basis of satisfactory evidence to be the individual(s) whose name(s) is (are) subscribed to the within instrument and acknowledged to me that he/she/they executed the same in his/her/their capacity(ies), and that by his/her/their signature(s) on the instrument, the individual(s), or the person upon behalf of which the individual(s) acted, executed the instrument.
