the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or
cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement or in City's regulations governing historic properties are available to City

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE Mission/Sparrish 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 espadana); red filed 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 Exposlion 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.
The Evans House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the
distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive"
because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of a symmetrical, flat -roofed
Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in the Pico-Lowellneighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code,
Section 30.2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
Nearly perfect symmetry distinguishes the facade of this one-story Spanish Colonial Revival style bungalow. Sheathed with
stucco, the building is topped by a flat roof. At each end of the three -bay wide facade, piers flush with the exterior walls
anchor the facade roof treatment, which features tiled pent roofs over the side bays and a front gabled parapet marking the
centerbay. A second, smaller parapet, also flanked by piers, tops the porch that projects in front of the central entry. Tiled
coping accents the roofline of each parapet. The porch space extends to the east and is defined by a low, stucco -covered
wall. Fagade fenestration consists of identical groupings of three casement windows, each of whose upper third is divided
into three lights. In the center, the entry is framed by a flattened arch opening below the parapet. Decorative accents are
provided by a circular vent in the upper parapet face, a diamond vent in the lower parapet face, and two diamond -shaped
lozenges centered above the window groupings. A stucco -dad chimney is attached to the east elevation. The property also
contains a one-story, stuccoed, flat -roofed garage, also adomed with a tiled pent roof. Other than the addition of a metal
canopy and supports in the east bay of the porch, the house appears unaltered.

The Evans House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of a popular variation on the Spanish
Colonial Revival theme: the symmetrical, flat -roofed bungalow. According to City of Santa Ana building permits, the house
and garage, valued at $3,200, were built in 1923 by Wiliam Ulm, a building contractor. The address first appears in the city
directories in 1925, when Dale H. Evans, the principal of Greenville School, and his wife Ella were the residents. The Evans'
only occupied the house for a couple of years; from 1927 through 1929 Carl M. Stein, a salesman at Vandergest and Son, the
men's haberdashery on Fourth Street, and his wife Helen resided at this address. The property continued to change residents
every few years through the 1940s. Occupations of the heads of household included the manager of the Schramm -Johnson
drug store, a music studio proprietor, a salesman with the National Cash Register Company, an engineer, an account, the
assistant supervisor of the American National insurance Company, and a driver for the Atomic Express.

*P3a. Description (continued):
proportioned tripartite windows banded by diamond -paned transoms are located in the side bays. The central entry features
three, small, rectangularlights arranged in an ascending pattern. Windows on the side elevations are primarily double -hung
sash in type. All of the openings are topped by extended lintels. A picket fence encloses the property, which also contains a
front -gabled garage in the rear. The house is substantially unaltered.
*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded byW Willem 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 grow outwards, with residential neighborhoods
developing around the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards
dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The Evans House is located in the Pico -Lowell neighborhood, which lies southwest of downtown Santa Ana and the Civic
Center. Taking its name from two local elementary schools, the neighborhood is bound by West First Street on the north,
West McFadden Avenue on the south, South Flower Street on the east and South Bristol Street on the west. In common with
other areas not immediately adjacent to the historic core, Pico -Lowell saw a persistence of agricultural uses into the twentieth
century. By 1912, when plat maps were drawn of Orange County, a little more then half of the neighborhood, primarily the
eastern section, had been subdivided into residential -sized lots, with the remainder consolidated into ten large parcels. The
city directories indicate that over one hundred homes had been constructed by this time. Home building continued to thrive
during the 1910s and 1920s, tapering off by the and of the decade. As a result the oldest homes in the neighborhood are
small to medium sized bungalows, most representative of the Craftsman style of architecture. Those sections of the
neighborhood that remained unimproved were developed in the post-war housing boom of the late 1940s and 1950s, when
hundreds of modest California Ranch style homes were constructed. Today (2007), the neighborhood is densely populated,
and its ethnicity has shifted from Anglo-European to Hispanic.
The Evans House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification ofthe distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. As an example of a symmetrical,
flat -tooted bungalow, the house displays the flat front with attached porch, parapeted rooffine, stucco and file materials
palette, and casement windows usually associated with this variation of the style. Additionally, the house has been
categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact
example of a symmetrical, flat -roofed Spanish Colonial Revivalbungalow in the Pico -Lowell neighborhood, "is a good
example of period architecture." Character -defining exterior features of the Evans House that should be preserved include,
but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco, tile); roof configuration and detafling, massing; original windows and
doors and their surrounds where extant; porch; chimney, and architectural details such as the parapet, diamond -shaped
embellishments, and porch archway.

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:
I. 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 adjacentt to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
