Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
September 8, 2022
Topic: HPPA No. 2022-5 – Titchenel-Catland House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to
execute a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) with Duane Rohrbacher
and Shannon Quihuiz for the property located at 419 E. Wellington Avenue, subject to
non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Duane Rohrbacher and Shannon Quihuiz are requesting approval to execute a Mills Act
Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 419 E.
Wellington Avenue, in the French Park neighborhood, that is currently listed on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Titchenel-Catland House, consists of an existing two-
story residence originally designed in a Victorian Italianate. The property was remodeled to
add Craftsman Bungalow elements in the early to mid-1920s. The residence is
approximately 2,146 square feet in size on a 12,600-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 2).
The Titchenel-Catland House was added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties
(“Register”) in 1997 and categorized as “Key.”
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 Register and categorized
as Contributive, making it eligible for a Mills Act Agreement. 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
In 1997, the City Council of Santa Ana by placed the property on the Santa Ana Register
of Historic Properties (“Register”). In 2000, the Historic Resources Commission
categorized the Titchenel-Catland House within the “Key” category for having a distinctive
architectural style and quality in the unusual stylistic blending of the Victorian and
Craftsman Bungalow styles. In addition, the Titchenel-Catland House was deemed
characteristic of a significant period in the history of Santa Ana, as it was the home to the
Tichenel Family, one of Santa Ana’s most prominent pioneer families. They occupied the
house on the property that covered the whole block and later sold it to William Spurgeon
for subdivision. Character-defining exterior features of the Titchenel-Catland House
include, but may not be limited to, the Victorian elements (elongated windows and doors,
prominent bay window, wide shiplap siding trimmed with corner boards), the gable roof,
single exposed beam-ends, rater tails, and louvered vents, representative of the
Craftsman Bungalow style.
Since its listing on the Register in 1997 to 2020, the property had minimal improvements.
More recently, the property owner has improved the site with irrigation, front yard fencing,
and replacement of exterior of door on rear. These improvements were noted as part of
the site visit to the property. In addition to these improvements, the property owner has
expressed a desire to improve the site with additional landscaping, an accessory arbor,
and restoration of the front porch. These additional changes, as well as other site
improvements, will be included as part of the rehabilitation and restoration requirements
during the duration of the Mills Act Agreement. Moreover, these improvements will be
subject to review and approval by staff, and would be subject to compliance with the City’s
Neighborhood Review process, Historic Exterior Modification Application (if applicable),
and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (“Standards”) for rehabilitation. 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. 2022-84 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 $196.85 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

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

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.

a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner,
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

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

thereof or default hereunder.

DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
The architectural style terminology is adapted from the National Register Bulletin 16A.
The Victorian Italianate style was one of the Late Victorian styles that flourished between 1860 –1890. The style emphasizes the
vertical lines in volumes and elongated doors and windows. Wide overhanging eaves often with decorative brackets and hipped roofs,
usually cap these buildings. Other significant features include balustrade balconies, corner quoins and rectangular windows with hood
mouldings.
The Craftsman Bungalow architectural style is an early 20th century American movement, developed by Charles and Henry Greene of
Pasadena, California. The height of the movement is between 1900 and 1920’s. The Craftsman Bungalow is characterized by the use
of natural wood for exposed massive beams and rafters and exterior siding. Some of the most prominent features are: low pitched
gabled roof with wide overhangs and projecting brackets; the emphasis on horizontal shapes informally arranged; the use of shingles
as exterior finish; broad, gabled entry porches; no applied ornament; creek rock foundations and porches. Many house include
Japanese and Swiss influences in their exterior detailing.

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and
boundaries.)
The unusual architectural character of this 1887 Victorian house can be explained by the 1925(1921?) remodel that added Craftsman
elements. At that time, the roof was raised, adding more rooms on the second floor and the porch was redesigned. The ell-shaped
gabled roof, accented with single exposed beam ends, rafter tails, and louvered vents, features a prominent front bay on the east side.
Casement windows with muntins in the top third are used throughout the second story. A railing of plain balusters, placed between
square piers, borders the flat roof of the single-storied porch. Square wood posts, resting on paneled piers, support the 1925 front
porch. From the Victorian era are the cut corners, tear drops, paired double hung windows with hood mouldings, and wide shiplap
siding trimmed with corner boards.

HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
Originally built by a Mr. Carden, the house was shortly after owned by the Titchenel’s, a town constable. One of Santa Ana’s most
prominent pioneer families, the Titchenels came to the new village on November 9, 1869, one month after William Spurgeon bought
the property that was to become Santa Ana. The Titchenels bought two lots. Tradition says that he built the town’s first house, on
Fourth and Main Streets. This was the second house, built in 1887. Originally, the property covered the whole block from Wellington
to Washington and French to Lacy Streets. The block was later subdivided and is known as the Titchenel addition. From 1881 to
1886 he also built and operated the Titchenel Block in downtown Santa Ana. Serving as an early peace officer, he also was a farmer,
a builder, and a teamster. Osgood and Aurelia Catland, along with their daughter Irene, a teacher in nearby Tustin, moved into this
house in 1906, purchasing it four years later. In 1910, Osgood is listed as an engineer. The Catland family lived in the house until the
1980’s.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme,
period, geographic scope, and integrity.)
This example of residential architecture during the City of Santa Ana’s early formation years is located in French Park Historic
District. This two story farm house was built during the early years of the development of French Park, a residential district
advertised as the “Nob Hill” of Orange County. French Park was home to many prominent businessman, doctors, bankers, attorneys
and civil servants from 1880 to the early 1940’s. This house is in excellent condition, and on its original site.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
This building is characteristic of a significant period in the history of the City of Santa Ana. The house was built during the early
formation and development of the City and French Park. While this building is associated with a significant person in the City, the
Titchenel family, the subsequent owner extensively modified the house and it no longer reflects the architecture that existed when the
Titchenel family lived here.

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

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.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
September 8, 2022
Topic: HRCA No. 2022-13, HRC 2022-6, HPPA No. 2022-3 – Gibbs-Wasley House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-
13 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-6 (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 Benjamin and Catherine
Mayberry, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City
Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Benjamin and Catherine Mayberry are requesting approval to designate an existing
residence located at 2405 Bonnie Brae to the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa
Ana.
The request was originally agendized for the July 7, 2022, Historic Resources
Commission (HRC) meeting. However, after opening up the public hearing and
discussing the request, the HRC voted to continue the item to the next regular meeting.
The item was continued to allow the HRC time to ensure that ongoing construction on
the site was in keeping with the approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application
(HEMA) No. 2021-03, which was granted by the HRC on July 1, 2021, to allow exterior
modifications to the residence. The exterior modifications consisted of additions to the
first floor, basement, and detached garage, and the construction of a pool and spa and
three detached accessory structures. For reference, staff has included site photos of the
ongoing construction (Exhibit 4) and has included the HRC approved drawing exhibits
(Exhibit 5), which include the approved site plan, demolition plans, floor plans, and
elevations.

DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the northwest corner Benton Way and Bonnie Brae,
in the Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 3,784-square-foot, Tudor Revival
style residence and detached garage on a 15,700-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
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 structure is 94 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Gibbs-Wasley House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the
Tudor Revival architectural style in Santa Ana. It was built in 1928 for $15,000.
According to City directories, the first owners were William Isbell Gibbs and his wife
Jessamyne Gibbs. They lived in the home for 16 years from 1929 to 1945. Mr. Gibbs
was a partner at Gibbs and Scott Auto Repair in the rear of 726 S. Main Street in
downtown Santa Ana. The Gibbs were enthusiastic participants in the Santa Ana social
scene in the 1930s and entertained in the home often. Mrs. Gibbs was involved in local
women’s organizations. The home was sold in 1947 to rancher Glenne E. Mathis and
his wife Charlotte, who lived in the home for a short time. In 1954, the home was sold to
Dr. William L. Wasley and his wife Ruth. William had several advanced and post-
graduate degrees and was a research chemist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In
1962 the home was occupied by local realtor George Frazier and his wife Vernelle
Frazier.
The Gibbs-Wasley House is a two-story single-family residential building constructed in
the Tudor Revival style. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a steeply pitched

complex gable roof covered in composition shingle roofing. The exterior of the building
is clad a combination of brick and stucco exterior walls. Notable detailing includes
multiple roof pitches with 12:12 pitched roofs on dominant gables, multiple overlapping
gables, and varied eave heights. In addition, the home features a mixture of shed and
dormer gables; a double gable at west side façade; exposed, rounded and notched
rafter tails and bargeboards in the shallow eaves; and arched gable vents. The primary
front elevation is defined by a dramatic bellcast to one rake of the front gable and a
prominent, barrel vaulted entry vestibule and correspondingly arched, wood-paneled,
front door with plaster quoins in arched entry recess. The brick wainscot along the entire
south façade, and along a portion of the east façade are not original, nor is the brick
cladding of the entry porch or the front pathway. Although not original, the brick waiscot
is compatible with the Tudor Revival style. The home features multiple tall, attached
brick chimneys rising above the roofline. Multi-light casement windows clustered in
pairs, triples, and larger groups can be found along the first and second floor of the
primary (south) elevation while fenestration on the side and rear elevations consists of
double-hung windows with plaster sills. Substantially intact, the house is currently being
expanded. The additions are appropriately located on the north (rear) and northwest
elevations and in the basement of the house and on the west elevation of the garage.
New construction, including a swimming pool and pool pavilion, will be placed in the
northwest interior section of the property and will not be visible. The property is simply
landscaped with a mature trees, lawn, low vegetation and brick-paved entry, stairs, and
pathways. The driveway is located along the east elevation and leads to the detached,
two-car garage, also clad in stucco. Character-defining features of the house include,
but are not limited to: asymmetrical massing and composition; a steeply pitched,
complex gable roof; a combination of brick and stucco exterior walls; and multiple tall,
brick attached chimneys.
The Gibbs-Wasley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an example of the Tudor Revival style 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 Tudor Revival 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, has 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
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-45 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 $1,042.18 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
Located in Floral Park, the Gibbs-Wasley House is a two-story single-family residential building constructed in the Tudor Revival
style. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a steeply pitched complex gable roof covered in composition shingle roofing.
The exterior of the building is clad a combination of brick and stucco exterior walls. Notable detailing includes multiple roof
pitches with 12:12 pitched roofs on dominant gables, multiple overlapping gables, and varied eave heights. In addition, the
home features a mixture of shed and dormer gables; a double gable at west side façade; exposed, rounded and notched rafter
tails and bargeboards in the shallow eaves; and arched gable vents. The primary front elevation is defined by a dramatic
bellcast to one rake of the front gable and a prominent, barrel vaulted entry vestibule and correspondingly arched, wood-
paneled, front door with plaster quoins in arched entry recess. The brick wainscot along the entire south façade, and along a
portion of the east façade are not original, nor is the brick cladding of the entry porch or the front pathway. Although not original,
the brick waiscot is compatible with the Tudor Revival style. The home features multiple tall, attached brick chimneys rising
above the roofline. Multi-light casement windows clustered in pairs, triples, and larger groups can be found along the first and
second floor of the primary (south) elevation while fenestration on the side and rear elevations consists of double-hung windows
with plaster sills. Substantially intact, the house is currently being expanded. The additions are appropriately located on the
north (rear) and northwest elevations and in the basement of the house and on the west elevation of the garage. New
construction, including a swimming pool and pool pavilion, will be placed in the northwest interior section of the property and
will not be visible. The property is simply landscaped with a mature trees, lawn, low vegetation and brick-paved entry, stairs,
and pathways. The driveway is located along the east elevation and leads to the detached, two-car garage, also clad in stucco.

The Gibbs-Wasley House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Tudor Revival architectural style in
Santa Ana. It was built in 1928 for $15,000. According to City directories, the first owners were William Isbell Gibbs and his wife
Jessamyne Gibbs. They lived in the home for 16 years from 1929 to 1945. Mr. Gibbs was a partner at Gibbs and Scott Auto
Repair in the rear of 726 S. Main Street in downtown Santa Ana. The Gibbs were enthusiastic participants in the Santa Ana
social scene in the 1930s and entertained in the home often. Mrs. Gibbs was involved in local women’s organizations. The
home was sold in 1947 to rancher Glenne E. Mathis and his wife Charlotte, who lived in the home for a short time. In 1954 the
home was sold to Dr. William L. Wasley and his wife Ruth. William had several advanced and post-graduate degrees and was
a research chemist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He had joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Western Regional
Research Laboratory in 1957, researching fiber and polymer chemistry. In 1962 the home was occupied by local realtor George
Frazier and his wife Vernelle Frazier. After 1962 the home was occupied by several owners, in recent years it was owned by
Marcia Cruchley who sadly passed away, and the home is now in the care of new owners.

*B10. 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 Gibbs-Wasley 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 orange, avocado, and walnut trees 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, homes in the neighborhood were mostly
developed in the revival style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today
(2022) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and
prominent citizens.
The Gibbs-Wasley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example
of the Tudor Revival style 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 Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-
2.2). Character-defining features of the house include, but are not limited to: asymmetrical massing and composition; a steeply
pitched, complex gable roof; a combination of brick and stucco exterior walls; and multiple tall, brick attached chimneys. Notable
detailing includes the dramatic bellcast to one rake of the front gable; exposed, rounded and notched rafter tails and
bargeboards in the shallow eaves; a barrel vaulted entry vestibule and correspondingly arched, wood-paneled, front door; brick
dado reaching to first floor sill level; gabled dormers; multi-light casement windows clustered in pairs, triples, and larger groups;
and brick-paved entry, stairs, and pathways.

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

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.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving a Certificate of Appropriateness for Historic Exterior
Modification Application No. 2021-03.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Benjamin and Catherine Mayberry are requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification
Application (HEMA) No. 2021-03 to allow exterior modifications consisting of additions to
the first floor, basement, and detached garage, and the construction of a pool and spa and
three detached accessory structures, for the Mayberry Residence located at 2405 North
Bonnie Brae.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the northwest corner of the Bonnie Brae and North
Benton Way intersection in the Floral Park neighborhood. The General Plan land use
designation for the site is Low Density Residential (LR) and the zoning district is Single-
Family Residential (R1). The property contains an existing two story Tudor style residence
that is approximately 3,527 square feet in size with 333 square feet subterranean
basement and a 574 square feet detached garage on a 0.36-acre residential lot.
The property is deemed a historic structure because it was determined eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places as a contributor to a potential North
Broadway Park Historic District in 1980 and automatically included in the California
Register of Historical Resources. The house has distinctive architectural features of the
Tudor style and was built in 1928. The Tudor style house is characterized by steeply
pitched roofs, multipaned narrow windows, a heavy wooden front door, prominent cross-
gable design, and tall chimney feature. Typical to most Tudor style homes, the two-story
corner residence features steeply pitched roofs with prominent front-facing gables, rolled
eaves, multipaned narrow casement and double-hung windows, and clad with a

combination of stucco and brick, and a tall brick chimney. The roof material is composition
shingles and designed with exposed and shaped rafter tails and rounded shadow boards
with wrapped roofing at the roof rakes with rounded end caps. The home has a detached
three-car garage to the north of the property, located along North Benton Way, which
provides a large concrete driveway leading to the garage. The front elevation offers a long
sweeping steeped front-facing gable roof with an arched brick gable entry, and
multipaned narrow casement windows. The front yard is landscaped with a brick walkway
leading to the entry.
Project Description
The proposed exterior modifications will include a 446-square-foot addition for an
expanded kitchen, basement, and new bathroom; a 340-square-foot rear covered porch;
a 126-square-foot rear garage addition; and 630 square feet of new detached accessory
structures. The site will also be improved with a new in-ground pool and spa in the rear
yard and interior renovations to an existing mudroom, laundry room, den, and kitchen.
The expanded kitchen area is proposed along the west side of the house, approximately
15 feet behind the primary building facade facing Bonnie Brae, while the new bathroom
is proposed along the north elevation and approximately three feet west of the building
façade along Benton Way. Both areas of the residential addition incorporate a compatible,
lower pitched, hipped roof design with exposed rafters that connects with the covered
porch, which wraps around the northwest edge of the residence. Three new wood
casement windows and two new wood french doors are proposed along the north and
west elevations of the addition and remodeled mudroom, while all other windows and
doors of the residence will remain the same.
The garage remodel consists of the replacement of garage doors with carriage style steel
sectional garage doors, an overall six-foot rear extension, and relocated wood windows
and new man door at the rear. Like the addition to the main residence, the garage addition
will be lower than the existing garage height. It will contain two sweeping shed roofs on
the sides of the addition with a cross-gable roof at the center. The addition will be clad
with stucco finish to match the existing garage.
The rear and side yards will be improved with three new accessory structures. The
approximately 314-square-foot pavillion structure located west of the new pool and spa
will contain two storage rooms and a central fireplace. Two arbors, containing
approximately 216 square feet and 100 square feet each, are proposed west and east of
the main residence.
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,
Historic Resources Commission 1 – 60 9/8/2022

revised 2017). The proposed exterior modifications would be considered a rehabilitation
project and as such be evaluated against ten 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.
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 secondary elevations, toward the side and rear of the structure. Although visible
from the public right-of-way, the proposed addition is designed to be compatible in
scale with a lower roof height, setback from the primary façade, and features the
reuse of existing windows, as feasible, or similar wood windows. The proposed
exterior alterations will not alter the primary south (front) and east (street side)
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 Tudor style. The addition is
single story and will have a lower pitch roof to the existing house to distinguish it
from the historic structure, and is designed to be compatible with the existing scale,
window pattern, and stucco finish of the residence. Moreover, the addition is set
back more than 15 feet from the primary facade so as not to significantly impact
the character defining features of the primary elevation. 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.
The project complies with Standard No. 4. The existing brick wainscot and cladding
of the entry porch are not original to the house, but have acquired historic
significance in its own right and will be retained and preserved. The proposed
addition and renovations will not affect or duplicate the existing brick cladding.
Although the detached garage’s roof-form and dormer features exemplifies
character defining features of the architectural style, the existing garage doors
were previously altered and the proposed replacement will not affect the historic
significance of the property.
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
does propose to add to the rear and side of the house, which will remove windows
and doors along secondary elevations. Windows will be reused, as feasible, and
new wood windows and doors will be compatible with existing features.
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.
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 are no known archeological resources onsite.

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. Although
the proposed addition is visible from the public right-of-way, it is subordinate to the
existing house due to its lower pitched roof, smaller scale, and deep setback from
the primary elevation. The proposed detached arbor, located east of the house
along Benton Way, can be removed without affecting the building’s structural
integrity and does not impact the visibility of character defining features of the
house. Important spatial relationships characterizing the Tudor architectural style
will not be disturbed, as the addition is only single-story, positioned to the rear and
side of the existing house, and will not alter the existing roof line. 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.
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 at the rear and side of the
house, avoids the most significant and character-defining features, and is
subordinate to the overall massing of the house. 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 Tudor style construction while being mindful not to disturb the historic
materials that characterize the property. By localizing the scope of work towards the rear
and side 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.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
September 8, 2022
Topic: HRCA No. 2021-28, HRC 2022-13, HPPA No. 2022-16 – R.C. Marshall House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021-
28 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-13 (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 Marny Gae Renteria, subject
to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Marny Gae Renteria is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located
at 1128 W. Riviera 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.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the southwest corner of Westwood Avenue and
Riviera Drive in the West Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 2,022-square-
foot, Ranch style residence and attached garage on an 11,300-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
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 structure is 67 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The R.C. Marshall House is architecturally significant as a representative example of a
Colonial Revival styled Ranch style home, in Santa Ana. According to City building
records, it was built in 1955 by builder Arthur Herrick for approximately $16,000. The
house was first owned by Richard Charles Marshall and wife Fern B. Marshall. They
resided on the property with their two children, Dennis R. and Diane E. Marshall, who
both attended Santa Ana High School and Santa Ana College. Richard was born in
Illinois and Fern was born in Minnesota, but they moved to Santa Ana in the late 1940s.
Richard managed a furniture store along Main Street. Occupancy records show that the
Marshall's resided on the property until the late 1960s.
The R.C. Marshall House is a one-story single-family residence on a large parcel, sited
with a deep setback from West Riviera Drive and displaying the Colonial Revival variant
of the Ranch style. An attached two-car garage is located behind (south of) the south
end of the east elevation facing North Westwood Avenue and is connected by a
breezeway. The house and garage delineate a reversed "L" -shaped plan, which
embraces a generously sized rear yard. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a
strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a rambling plan and a moderately-
pitched, gabled and hipped roof. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of
exterior materials including shakes, brick, stucco, and wood. Offset from the center of
the primary (north) elevation to the west, the front entry features a recently replaced
front door and sidelight, designed to be compatible with the Colonial Revival Ranch
style and the date of construction. Widely spaced across the primary elevation, a series
of steel, multi-light casement windows are flanked by decorative window shutters. The
westernmost window is crowned with a front gablet that breaks through the modestly
overhanging eaves. At the east end of the north elevation, a smaller, side-gabled wing
is set back from the north and contains two steel casement windows on its east
elevation, distinguished by diamond window pane patterning and shaded by a fabric
awning. A centralized, interior brick chimney rises above the roofline. Alterations to the
house include the removal of the original wood shake roof, replacement of the front
entry door and sidelight, and replacement of the garage door. Character-defining
features of the R.C. Marshall House include, but may not be limited to: horizontal
massing and composition; combination of exterior materials including shakes, brick,
stucco, and wood; steel fenestration (multi-light and diamond-paned casement

windows); decorative window shutters; and front gablet surmounting the window west of
the front entry.
The R.C. Marshall House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as a representative example of a Colonial Revival styled
Ranch style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Contributive”
because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a
representative example of Colonial Revival Styled Ranch 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
The subject site is located within the West Floral Park Neighborhood Association. The
president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this

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

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.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The R.C. Marshall House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a
representative example of a Colonial Revival styled Ranch style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is
“Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example
of Colonial Revival styled Ranch architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Occupying the southwest corner of West Riviera Drive and North Westwood Avenue in West Floral Park, the R.C. Marshall
House is a one-story single-family residence on a large parcel, sited with a deep setback from West Riviera Drive and displaying
the Colonial Revival variant of the Ranch style. An attached two-car garage is located behind (south of) the south end of the
east elevation facing North Westwood Avenue and is connected by a breezeway. The house and garage delineate a reversed
"L" -shaped plan, which embraces a generously sized rear yard. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal
emphasis expressed through a rambling plan and a moderately-pitched, gabled and hipped roof. The exterior of the house is
clad in a combination of exterior materials including shakes, brick, stucco, and wood. Offset from the center of the primary
(north) elevation to the west, the front entry features a recently replaced front door and sidelight, designed to be compatible
with the Colonial Revival Ranch style and the date of construction. Widely spaced across the primary elevation, a series of
steel, multi-light casement windows are flanked by decorative window shutters. The westernmost window is crowned with a
front gablet that breaks through the modestly overhanging eaves. At the east end of the north elevation, a smaller, side-gabled
wing is set back from the north and contains two steel casement windows on its east elevation, distinguished by diamond
window pane patterning and shaded by a fabric awning. A centralized, interior brick chimney rises above the roofline. Alterations
to the house include the removal of the original wood shake roof, replacement of the front entry door and sidelight, and
replacement of the garage door. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house appears intact and is in good
condition. The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and mature trees.

The R.C. Marshall House is architecturally significant as a representative example of a Colonial Revival styled Ranch style
home, in Santa Ana. According to City building records, it was built in 1955 by builder Arthur Herrick for approximately $16,000.
The house was first owned by Richard Charles Marshall and wife Fern B. Marshall. They resided on the property with their two
children, Dennis R. and Diane E. Marshall, who both attended Santa Ana High School and Santa Ana College. Richard was
born in Illinois and Fern was born in Minnesota, but they moved to Santa Ana in the late 1940s. Richard managed a furniture
store along Main Street. Occupancy records show that the Marshall's resided on the property until the late 1960s. Little
information is available regarding occupancy of the residence after 1970.

*B10. 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.
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the R.C. Marshall House is located has been known
as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower Street on
the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time, the area was
primarily agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was improved with houses during the 1920s and 1930s, contained
only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315 North Bristol Street,
and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street. Between 1947 and 1950, around two dozen homes
were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed throughout the neighborhood during
the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.
The R.C. Marshall House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a
representative example of a Colonial Revival styled Ranch style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is
“Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example
of Colonial Revival Styled Ranch architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the
R.C. Marshall House include, but may not be limited to: horizontal massing and composition; combination of exterior materials
including shakes, brick, stucco, and wood; steel fenestration (multi-light and diamond-paned casement windows); decorative
window shutters; and front gablet surmounting the window west of the front entry.

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

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.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
September 8, 2022
Topic: HRCA No. 2022-14, HRC 2022-14, HPPA No. 2022-17 – P.A. Hooven House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-
14 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-14 (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 Katherine Canada, subject to
non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Katherine Canada is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at
2425 N. Valencia 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 east side of Valencia Street in the Park Santiago
neighborhood. The site contains a 1,526-square-foot, Tudor Revival style residence and
detached garage on an 8,200-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
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 structure is 97 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The P.A. Hooven House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the
Tudor Revival style. The original building permit was not located. The earliest record
shows a series of occupants between 1933 -1944, including Vincent Tortaglea (1933),
R.B. Stedman (1934-1935), G.H. Walker (1936-1938), and R.G. Robbins (1939-1944).
Mrs. R.B. Stedman was a member of the Garden Study Club and a gardening
enthusiast, who would regularly host gardening events at the property. The home was
sold to P.A. Hooven and his wife in 1941. Mrs. P.A. Hooven was an avid golfer who
frequented Willowick Golf Club. Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Hooven resided on the property until
1956 when it was sold it K.W. Eppert. The property was soon after sold to Gale Grant
who resided on the property until the late 1960s.
The P.A. Hooven House is a one-and-a-half story residence that exhibits features
characteristic of the Tudor Revival architectural style in southern California.
Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a steeply pitched, cross-gabled roof covered
with composition shingle and no overhanging eaves. The exterior of the house is clad in
a combination of shake and stucco. Detailing typical of the style includes the bellcast
front slope of the side gable, extended forwards into a hood over a façade window, and
the tall, narrow, and round-headed attic vents. The U-shaped façade embraces an open
patio that leads to the primary, west-facing entry, a prairie style entry door with two
sidelights. A second entry, consisting of a prairie style french door, faces south onto the
patio from the projecting north wing.. The primary (west) elevation features multi-paned,
wood-framed windows, most prominently a round-headed window centered on the north
wing that illuminates the living room and its barrel-vaulted ceiling. The fenestration
along the north, south, and east elevations consists of double-hung, wood-framed
windows. The property appears to be substantially intact, although the upper story was
converted into living space at one point; other than a front-gabled dormer, this
modification is not visible from the front. A “hollywood” style driveway along the south
elevation leads to a detached, one-story, three-car garage, which is side-gabled and
also clad in stucco. The original garage was enlarged in 1958 to accommodate a third
car. The property is landscaped with low vegetation, neatly trimmed hedges, trees, and
features a stone walkway leading to the front entry. Character-defining features
exhibited by this property include its steeply pitched, cross-gabled roof; asymmetrical
massing with a U-shaped façade; bellcast front slope of the side gable; stucco-covered

exterior; and multi-paned, wood-framed windows, including a prominent round-headed
window illuminating the barrel-vaulted ceiling living room.
The P.A. Hooven House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a
representative example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house
has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and
history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Tudor Revival architecture 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.

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

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

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3
Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted
Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched
gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building
features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious
examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in
the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small
scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated
with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The P.A. Hooven House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example
of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes
to the overall character and history” of the Park Santiago neighborhood and is a representative example of Tudor Revival
architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
Located in Park Santiago, the P.A. Hooven House is a one-and-a-half story residence that exhibits features characteristic of
the Tudor Revival architectural style in southern California. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a steeply pitched,
cross-gabled roof covered with composition shingle and no overhanging eaves. The exterior of the house is clad in a
combination of shake and stucco. Detailing typical of the style includes the bellcast front slope of the side gable, extended
forwards into a hood over a façade window, and the tall, narrow, and round-headed attic vents. The U-shaped façade
embraces an open patio that leads to the primary, west-facing entry, a prairie style entry door with two sidelights. A second
entry, consisting of a prairie style french door, faces south onto the patio from the projecting north wing.. The primary (west)
elevation features multi-paned, wood-framed windows, most prominently a round-headed window centered on the north wing
that illuminates the living room and its barrel-vaulted ceiling. The fenestration along the north, south, and east elevations
consists of double-hung, wood-framed windows. The property appears to be substantially intact, although the upper story
was converted into living space at one point; other than a front-gabled dormer, this modification is not visible from the front. A
“hollywood” style driveway along the south elevation leads to a detached, one-story, three-car garage, which is side-gabled
and also clad in stucco. The original garage was enlarged in 1958 to accommodate a third car. The property is landscaped
with low vegetation, neatly trimmed hedges, trees, and features a stone walkway leading to the front entry.

The P.A. Hooven House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Tudor Revival style. The original
building permit was not located. The earliest record shows a series of occupants between 1933 -1944, including Vincent
Tortaglea (1933), R.B. Stedman (1934-1935), G.H. Walker (1936-1938), and R.G. Robbins (1939-1944). Mrs. R.B. Stedman
was a member of the Garden Study Club and a gardening enthusiast, who would regularly host gardening events at the
property. The home was sold to P.A. Hooven and his wife in 1941. Mrs. P.A. Hooven was an avid golfer who frequented
Willowick Golf Club. Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Hooven resided on the property until 1956 when it was sold it K.W. Eppert. The
property was soon after sold to Gale Grant who resided on the property until the late 1960s.

*B10. Significance (continued):
The P.A. Hooven House is located in the Santiago Park neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and
Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west,
and the I-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed
towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban
railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad
right-of-way mirrored the freeway route.
This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households
on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, “C Street” (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue,
the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households
had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents
continued to list “rancher” or “fruit grower” as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on
the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on
Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by
approximately forty landowners.
While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of
Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in
the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service
professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during
the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney (Z. B. West, Jr.,
321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County
Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April
1942, when the Sanborn Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single-
family homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of
the neighborhood and infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World
War II.
The P.A. Hooven House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the Tudor
Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the
overall character and history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Tudor Revival architecture in Santa Ana
(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features exhibited by this property include its steeply
pitched, cross-gabled roof; asymmetrical massing with a U-shaped façade; bellcast front slope of the side gable; stucco-
covered exterior; and multi-paned, wood-framed windows, including a prominent round-headed window illuminating the
barrel-vaulted ceiling living room.

- 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

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.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
September 8, 2022
Topic: HRCA No. 2022-17, HRC 2022-12, HPPA No. 2022-15 – Arthur A. Beard House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-
17 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-12 (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 Yi Ran and Tom Nguyen,
subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney
(Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Yi Ran and Tom Nguyen are requesting approval to designate an existing residence
located at 1802 N. Ross 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 Ross Street in the Floral Park
neighborhood. The site contains a 1,216-square-foot, Minimal Traditional style
residence and detached garage on a 4,500-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
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 structure is 83 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Arthur A. Beard House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of
the Colonial Revival variant of the Minimal Traditional style, constructed just prior to
World War II by the Santa Ana development team of H. C. Head and Roy Russell. The
house was built in 1939 and was valued at approximately $4,000, according to the
original building permit. The property was sold in 1940 to Arthur A. Beard who was a
graduate of the University of Iowa. He was also a resident engineer for the Highway
Commission of Wyoming, resident engineer for the Highway Commission of California,
acting Flood Control Engineer, and Orange County Highway Superintendent. Arthur A.
Beard resided on the property until the mid-1960s. Little information is available
regarding occupancy of the residence from 1960-2000s.
The house is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the Colonial Revival
variant of the Minimal Traditional style. Simplicity characteristic of the Minimal
Traditional and symmetry associated with the Colonial Revival characterize this single-
family residence. It features a moderately-pitched, side-gabled roof with minimal
overhang. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior
walls are clad in wood clapboard siding. Its Colonial Revival character is apparent in the
central entry with stylized pediment, broad wood siding, and decorative shutters. The
front (east) elevation features two-over-two double-hung, wood-framed windows, a bay
window projection, and bellcast entry canopy. Along the north, south, and west
elevations, the building’s fenestration includes a series of single, double-hung windows.
A secondary side entry is located along the north elevation, which consists of a simple,
single panel half door. A tall, prominent, exterior brick chimney rises above the roof
ridgeline along the south elevation. A one-story, gable-roofed, detached garage is
located in the rear of the property which is also clad in wood clapboard siding. The
house appears intact and is in good condition. Character-defining features of the Arthur
A. Beard House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and
horizontal wood board lapped siding); side-gabled roof with modest overhang; three-
bay, nearly symmetrical façade; multi-paned, double-hung windows including cant
window bay; central main entry with stylized pediment; decorative shutters; and brick
chimney.

The Arthur A. Beard House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of the Colonial Revival variant of the
Minimal Traditional style, constructed just prior to World War II by the development team
of H. C. Head and Roy Russell. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
“Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park
and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional style 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
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, has 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
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-79 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 $1,120.35 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

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

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

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social
needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the
1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied
requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in
this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its
efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could
afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-
story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor
Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof
with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer
accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames.
The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House
style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often
display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Arthur A. Beard House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
intact example of the Colonial Revival variant of the Minimal Traditional style, constructed just prior to World War II by the
development team of H. C. Head and Roy Russell. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive”
because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is a representative example of Minimal
Traditional style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in Floral Park, the Arthur A. Beard House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the Colonial Revival
variant of the Minimal Traditional style. Simplicity characteristic of the Minimal Traditional and symmetry associated with the
Colonial Revival characterize this single-family residence. It features a moderately-pitched, side-gabled roof with minimal
overhang. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in wood clapboard siding.
Its Colonial Revival character is apparent in the central entry with stylized pediment, broad wood siding, and decorative
shutters. The front (east) elevation features two-over-two double-hung, wood-framed windows, a bay window projection, and
bellcast entry canopy. Along the north, south, and west elevations, the building’s fenestration includes a series of single,
double-hung windows. A secondary side entry is located along the north elevation, which consists of a simple, single panel
half door. A tall, prominent, exterior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline along the south elevation. A one-story, gable-
roofed, detached garage is located in the rear of the property which is also clad in wood clapboard siding. The property is
landscaped with low vegetation and neatly trimmed hedges and features a walkway paved in flagstone leading to the front
entry. The house appears intact and is in good condition.

The Arthur A. Beard House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Colonial Revival variant of the
Minimal Traditional style, constructed just prior to World War II by the Santa Ana development team of H. C. Head and Roy
Russell. The house was built in 1939 and was valued at approximately $4,000, according to the original building permit. The
property was sold in 1940 to Arthur A. Beard who was a graduate of the University of Iowa. He was also a resident engineer

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 Arthur A. Beard 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 (2022) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Arthur A. Beard House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of the Colonial Revival variant of the Minimal Traditional style, constructed just prior to World War II by the
development team of H. C. Head and Roy Russell. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it
contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional style
architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Arthur A. Beard House include,
but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and horizontal wood board lapped siding); side-gabled roof with
modest overhang; three-bay, nearly symmetrical façade; multi-paned, double-hung windows including cant window bay;
central main entry with stylized pediment; decorative shutters; and brick chimney.

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

Topic: HRCA No. 2022-19, HRC 2022-11, HPPA No. 2022-14 – J.F. Berger House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-
19 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-11 (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 Mark and Wendy Blalock,
subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney
(Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mark and Wendy Blalock are requesting approval to designate an existing residence
located at 1720 N. Olive 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 Olive Street in the West Floral Park
neighborhood. The site contains a 2,600-square-foot, Minimal Traditional style
residence and detached garage on a 6,000-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
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 structure is 69 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The J.F. Berger House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the
gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. The earliest
records found for this residence show a series of occupants between 1953 -1965,
including J.F. Berger (1953-1955), A.L. Oliphant (1956-1959), and R.E. Stutz (1960-
1965). Little information is available regarding occupancy of the residence from the mid
1960s to the mid 1970s. In 1974, directories show that the property was occupied by
C.C. Robbins, who resided on the property when it was relocated to the current location.
The J.F. Berger House is a two-story single-family residence constructed in the gable-
and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. Built in 1953 and moved
to this location in 1974, the house displays the characteristic cross-gabled massing and
L-shaped façade of the gable-and-wing variant. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt
shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination of stucco and wood lap
siding. A narrow frieze board accents portions of the eave line. The focal point of the
design is the partial-width entry porch, whose canopy roof is supported by a pair of
slender posts. The recessed entry contains a simple, six-panel, wood door flanked by a
multi-light, tripartite wood window. The front (east) elevation features wood-framed,
multi-light windows arranged singly and in pairs, each decorated with window shutters.
The front elevation also features a prominent shed roof dormer, with a pair of wood-
framed, multi-light windows. Along the north, south, and west elevations, the building
incorporates a series of six-over-six wood-framed, double-hung sash windows, also
decorated with window shutters. A prominent interior brick chimney rises above the roof
ridgeline along the west elevation. A one-story, side-gabled, detached garage clad in
stucco is located in the rear of the property. Alterations to the property include a rear
addition and other alterations made at the time of or subsequent to relocation. However,
these alterations are not visible from the primary front elevation. Character-defining
features of the J.F. Berger House include, but may not be limited to: cross-gabled
massing and L-shaped façade; wood-framed, multi-light windows arranged singly and in
pairs; decorative window shutters; combination stucco and wood exterior; and recessed
entry accessed from an open, partial-width porch.
The J.F. Berger House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for
its exemplification of the Gable-and-Wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style. The

house displays the characteristic cross-gabled massing and L-shaped façade of the
variant as well as the minimalist approach to architectural embellishment associated with
the style.The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the
overall character and history of West Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal
Traditional 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
The subject site is located within the West 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, has 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
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-81 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 $913.89 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

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

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

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.

referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner,
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

Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted
Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social
needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the
1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied
requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in
this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its
efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could
afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-
story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor
Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof
with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer
accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames.
The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House
style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often
display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The J.F. Berger qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Gable-and-
Wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to
the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture
(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in West Floral Park, the J.F. Berger House is a two-story single-family residence constructed in the gable-and-wing
variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. Built in 1953 and moved to this location in 1974, the house displays the
characteristic cross-gabled massing and L-shaped façade of the gable-and-wing variant. The roof is clad in contemporary
asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination of stucco and wood lap siding. A narrow frieze board
accents portions of the eave line. The focal point of the design is the partial-width entry porch, whose canopy roof is
supported by a pair of slender posts. The recessed entry contains a simple, six-panel, wood door flanked by a multi-light,
tripartite wood window. The front (east) elevation features wood-framed, multi-light windows arranged singly and in pairs,
each decorated with window shutters. The front elevation also features a prominent shed roof dormer, with a pair of wood-
framed, multi-light windows. Along the north, south, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series of six-over-six
wood-framed, double-hung sash windows, also decorated with window shutters. A prominent interior brick chimney rises
above the roof ridgeline along the west elevation. A one-story, side-gabled, detached garage clad in stucco is located in the
rear of the property. Alterations to the property include a rear addition and other alterations made at the time of or subsequent
to relocation. However, these alterations are not visible from the primary front elevation. The property is landscaped with low
vegetation and a mature tree and features a concrete walkway leading to the front entry.

The J.F. Berger House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal
Traditional architectural style. The earliest records found for this residence show a series of occupants between 1953 -1965,
including J.F. Berger (1953-1955), A.L. Oliphant (1956-1959), and R.E. Stutz (1960-1965). Little information is available
regarding occupancy of the residence from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s. In 1974, directories show that the property was
occupied by C.C. Robbins, who resided on the property when it was relocated to the current location.

*B10. 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.
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the J.F.Berger House is now located has been
known as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower
Street on the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time,
the area was primarily agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was improved with houses during the 1920s and
1930s, contained only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315
North Bristol Street, and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street. Between 1947 and 1950,
around two dozen homes were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed
throughout the neighborhood during the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.
The J.F. Berger House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Gable-and-
Wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style. The house displays the characteristic cross-gabled massing and L-shaped
façade of the variant as well as the minimalist approach to architectural embellishment associated with the style.The
recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park
and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-
defining features of the J.F. Berger House include, but may not be limited to: cross-gabled massing and L-shaped façade;
wood-framed, multi-light windows arranged singly and in pairs; decorative window shutters; combination stucco and wood
exterior; and recessed entry accessed from an open, partial-width porch.

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

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.

Item # 6
City of Santa Ana
20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701
Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
September 8, 2022
Topic: HRCA No. 2022-20, HRC 2022-10, HPPA No. 2022-13 – William T. Elliott House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-
20 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-10 (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 Eriq Dominguez, subject to
non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Eriq Dominguez is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at
2222 N. Ross 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 east side of Greenleaf Street in the Floral Park
neighborhood. The site contains a 1,476-square-foot, Minimal Traditional style
residence and detached garage on a 6,100-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
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 structure is 82 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The William T. Elliott House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of
the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. This house
was originally constructed in 1940, and was valued at approximately $4,000 according
to the original building permit. In 1941, the home was purchased by William T. Elliott
and his wife Ester May Elliott. William was a business professor at Santa Ana Junior
College for many decades and was civically involved in Santa Ana and various clubs
and organizations. William was drafted in World War II in 1943 and was separated from
the Army in August 1945. Ester May Elliott was also involved in local clubs. William
remained the first and longest continuous owner of the property into the 1980s.
The William T. Elliott House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the
gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. It features the
characteristic massing of the gable-and-wing enhanced by three tiers of nested gables
over the front-gabled wing, with little or no overhanging eaves. The roof is clad in
contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a stucco siding.
The focal point of the design is the central entry porch, whose canopy roof is supported
by lacy wrought iron porch supports. The front entry features a six-panel wood door,
flanked by a series of wood-framed, two-over-two windows, and a prominent attached
brick chimney. Along the east, west, and south elevation, the building incorporates a
series of wood-framed, two-over-two windows. The north elevation is enhanced with a
prominent bay window with brick base and standing seam roof. A one-story, gabled,
detached garage clad in stucco siding is located in the rear of the property, south of the
residence. Alterations to the house include the removal of the original wood-shingled
roof and installation of front porch terra cotta paving. When the original wood shingled
roof was replaced in 1994, some eave detailing may have been lost. Character-defining
features of the William T. Elliott House that should be preserved include, but may not be
limited to: materials and finishes (stucco siding); massing, roof configuration and
treatment (three tiers of nested gables over the front-gabled wing); porch with lacy
wrought iron porch supports; brick chimney; bay window with brick base and standing
seam roof; fenestration (wood-framed, two-over-two windows); and architectural
detailing.
The William T. Elliott House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion
1 for its exemplification of the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style. Built

in 1940 by the development team of H. C. Head and Roy Russell, the house features the
characteristic massing of the variant enhanced by three tiers of nested gables over the
front-gabled wing. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it
contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative
example of Minimal Traditional 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
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, has 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
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-82 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 $874.16 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social
needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the
1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied
requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in
this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its
efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could
afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-
story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor
Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof
with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer
accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames.
The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House
style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often
display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The William T. Elliott qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the gable-
and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes
to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa
Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in Floral Park, the William T. Elliott House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the gable-and-wing
variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. It features the characteristic massing of the gable-and-wing enhanced by
three tiers of nested gables over the front-gabled wing, with little or no overhanging eaves. The roof is clad in contemporary
asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a stucco siding. The focal point of the design is the central entry
porch, whose canopy roof is supported by lacy wrought iron porch supports. The front entry features a six-panel wood door,
flanked by a series of wood-framed, two-over-two windows, and a prominent attached brick chimney. Along the east, west,
and south elevation, the building incorporates a series of wood-framed, two-over-two windows. The north elevation is
enhanced with a prominent bay window with brick base and standing seam roof. A one-story, gabled, detached garage clad
in stucco siding is located in the rear of the property, south of the residence. Alterations to the house include the removal of
the original wood-shingled roof and installation of front porch terra cotta paving. When the original wood shingled roof was
replaced in 1994, some eave detailing may have been lost. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house appears
intact and is in good condition. The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and a short driveway leading towards
the rear, detached garage.

The William T. Elliott House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the gable-and-wing variant of the
Minimal Traditional architectural style. This house was originally constructed in 1940, and was valued at approximately
$4,000 according to the original building permit. In 1941, the home was purchased by William T. Elliott and his wife Ester May
Elliott. William was a business professor at Santa Ana Junior College for many decades and was civically involved in Santa
Ana and various clubs and organizations. William was drafted in World War II in 1943 and was separated from the Army in
August 1945. Ester May Elliott was also involved in local clubs. William remained the first and longest continuous owner of
the property into the 1980s.

*B10. 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 William T. Elliott 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 (2022) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The William T. Elliott House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the gable-
and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style. Built in 1940 by the development team of H. C. Head and Roy Russell, the
house features the characteristic massing of the variant enhanced by three tiers of nested gables over the front-gabled wing.
The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park
and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-
defining features of the William T. Elliott House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and
finishes (stucco siding); massing, roof configuration and treatment (three tiers of nested gables over the front-gabled wing);
porch with lacy wrought iron porch supports; brick chimney; bay window with brick base and standing seam roof; fenestration
(wood-framed, two-over-two windows); and architectural detailing.

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

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.
