Additionally, City Charter Section 901 provides that three consecutive unexcused absences would result in the vacation of a board or commission position.

DISCUSSION The Santa Ana Police Department's Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) team requires an alternative to lethal force in a variety of situations such as barricaded suspects, hostage incidents, riots, and warrant services. The S.W.A.T. team requires two 40mm less lethal launchers to replace and upgrade the team's current inventory of 37mm launchers which have become obsolete. The 40mm less lethal launchers unlike the 37mm launchers use a smokeless powder, a rifled barrel and a sighting system, which is more effective and provides greater accuracy thus reducing the risk of injury. The launcher is not a firearm and cannot accept conventional ammunition. Through the use of compressed air, a frangible projectile filled with oleoresin capsicum (OC), inert powder, or an indelible marking agent, is launched and bursts upon impact allowing officers to gain control of the situation. The purchase of the less lethal weaponry, supplies, and accessories, when added to the vendor's fiscal purchases will exceed the $10,000 aggregate total, and requires Council approval. Staff has determined that replacement of the current 37mm launchers will provide the S.W.A.T. team with alternative measures to control specialized situations in a safe and effective manner and recommends Council approval of an amendment to the contract. 22C-1 Contract Amendment for Less Lethal Weaponry Suppliers, and Accessories (Spec.

DISCUSSION The Santa Ana Police Department utilizes in-car video systems to provide independent verification of the field operations. Use of in-car video systems is essential during situations that may be confrontational or when there is no independent third party witness. The Police Department requires 10 Kustom Signals Digital Eyewitness® in-car video systems to replace and upgrade the department's current systems. The current ir.-car video systems installed in 1999 use outdated video home system (VHS) technology, are obsolete and due for replacement. The Digital Eyewitness® in-car video system uses digital video disc (DVD) technology and records to a DVD/RAM disc. The DVD/RAM format also includes error-checking software that will automatically go back and correct any skips in recording that may occur. Staff has determined that Kustom Signals, Inc. is the sole source distributor of the DVD format in-car video system. Kustom Signals, Inc. will provide installation, and has also agreed to include a $500 rebate for each VHS system traded in. As a result staff recommends Council approval of the recommended action. 22D-1 Contract Award for In-Car Video System (Spec. No. 06-004) April 17, 2006 Page 2.

K. Lee Gift Shop has been located in the alcove on the southwest side of The Depot since July 1, 1998. In this location, K. Lee Gifts has provided a limited mix of merchandise for the travelers, visitors and tenants of The Depot. On November 15, 2004, the City Council approved a License Agreement with K. Lee Gifts for a two-year period beginning July 1, 2004, and ending July 30, 2006, with two 12-month renewal options. Staff is recommending exercising the first 12-month renewal option beginning July 1, 2006, and ending June 30, 2007. Under the first renewal option, the monthly compensation to the City will be $743.10 per month. This renewal option continues to contain provisions to ensure that the gift shop operation portrays a positive image for The Depot at Santa Ana. The only alternative is not to execute this amendment and terminate the license agreement with K. Lee Gifts for operations at The Depot. This alternative is not viable as it would result in the loss of revenues of $8,918.28 for FY 06-07, and create a void in services for our travelers, visitors and tenants. 25A-1 First Renewal Option to License Agreement with K.

DISCUSSION Environmental planning services are a core service provided by the Planning Division to private developers, staff within the Planning and Building Agency and staff in other departments, such as the Public Works Agency, Community Development Agency and Parks, Recreation and Community Services. For the last several years provision of environmental planning services were centralized within the Environmental Coordinator position. The recent loss of the incumbent in that position has precipitated a re- evaluation of how environmental services are provided. In an effort to have the ability to provide these services in a more broad-based and flexible way, staff recommends that the members of the professional planning staff in the Planning Division receive training in order to develop stronger environmental planning skills and develop the ability to provide environmental analysis for both private development projects, as well as City-initiated projects. Initial training and a period of coaching following the training are recommended in order to develop in- house expertise among all of the professional Planning staff. The environmental consulting firm of Jones and Stokes is recommended to provide these services. Staff is recommending a sole source agreement with Jones and Stokes due to the technical expertise that they have in both environmental services and training.

This contract amendment will also provide coverage during the summer vacation months, when staffing shortages typically occur. Additionally, the amendment would extend the contract effective date through December 2006, at the same hourly rate of $48.00 to $58.00 per hour, depending on the qualifications of the individual inspector. Currently, the contractor is successfully providing for the City's needs with qualified building inspectors.

DISCUSSION On July 19, 2004, the City Council granted approval for the City to execute an agreement with ASAP Software for anti-virus software from Trend Micro. This agreement was based on a competitive bidding process conducted by the County of San Joaquin. The City has been using this anti- virus software to protect computers used by all City Departments. In an effort to provide additional anti-virus software for the Police and Fire Departments, and provide coverage for the increasing business operations that are outside of the normal weekday/daytime hours, the Information Services Division recommends that the Trend Micro product service be changed to "priority advantage standard support." This change would provide 24 x 7 hours of support along with access to technical phone assistance.

DISCUSSION On February 22, 2001 the Cities of Santa Ana and Tustin entered into an Amendment to Joint Exercises of Power Agreement regarding the Tustin- Santa Ana Transportation System Improvement Authority. Pursuant to the amendment, Tustin is required to pay Santa Ana its joint share of two intersection improvements - at Dyer and Grand and at Edinger and Grand. The Tustin City Council has initiated proceedings to establish Community Facilities District No. 06-1. This Facilities District will authorize the levy of special taxes upon the land within the former Marine Base site now known as Tustin Legacy. The City of Tustin is considering the use of bond proceeds to fund the two intersection improvements in Santa Ana. The City of Santa Ana would be responsible for designing the project, acquiring the right-of-way and constructing the improvements. For Santa Ana to receive the bonds proceeds, both cities must adopt a Joint Community Facilities Agreement. The bond proceeds are simply another revenue source to pay for Tustin's obligation of the intersection improvements. 25H-1 Joint Community Facilities Agreement April 17, 2006 Page 2 of 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

DISCUSSION Request of Applicant Ms. Diep Ngoc Tran is requesting approval of Variance No. 2005-06 to allow a reduction in lot size in order to construct a flower shop at 101 South Gunther Street. Property Description The property is located within the North Harbor Specific Plan (SP2) zoning district and has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC) with a floor area ratio of 0.5. The project site is surrounded by single-family residences to the south and commercial uses to the east, west and north (Exhibits 1 and 2). The property is approximately 0.18 acres in area, flat, rectangular in shape and currently occupied by a single-family residence with a one-car attached garage. There is an existing billboard on-site, approximately 16 feet in width and 20 feet in height. The project site is situated at the southeast corner of Gunther and First Streets. First Street is designated an arterial street and Gunther Street is designated a local street in the General Plan Circulation Element. EXHIBIT A 31 A-2 Variance No. 2005-06 March 27, 2006 Page 2 Project Description The project involves the demolition of the existing 880 square foot residence and the construction of a new 1,000 square foot flower shop on an existing 7,852 square foot lot. Access to the project will be provided from First Street. A total of six parking spaces will be provided on- site, which satisfies the required minimum of five spaces (Exhibits 3 and 4). The design of the project demonstrates a high quality appearance appropriate for a commercial use and satisfies the design standards set forth in the North Harbor Specific Plan. The proposed building elevations will be enhanced by providing stone veneer and clear glass windows. These architectural features will accentuate the exterior elevation and provide consistency with the architectural styles and improve the commercial character within the First Street Commercial Corridor. A combination of trees, shrubs and ground cover will be planted within the setback area on both First and Gunther Streets. A total of six 24-inch box trees, including Canary Island pine (Pinus canariensis), London Plane Tree (Platanus Accerifolia `Yearwood') and Brisbane Box (Tristania Conferta), are required as part of the landscape palette (Exhibit 5). Analysis of the Issues The North Harbor Specific Plan was envisioned to create a strong and viable commercial district supported by safe and well-maintained neighborhoods. A minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet for commercial development was established in the Specific Plan as a standard to encourage lot consolidation and the development of larger commercial centers. The proposed .flower shop is a permitted use in the General Commercial district of the North Harbor Specific Plan (SP2) but the existing lot does not meet the lot size requirement of the SP2 district. This property was originally subdivided as part of residential development for a single family residence. Over the years, similar nearby properties fronting First Street transitioned to commercial uses. Because of the limited lot size, it has been impractical for the subject property to achieve a viable and quality commercial development. 31 A-3 Variance No. 2005-06 March 27, 2006 Page 3 The property owner wishes to convert the site to a commercial use, in furtherance of the goals of the Specific Plan, but is constrained from doing so due to the pre-existing subdivision pattern in the area. The proposed project meets the zoning code in all other regards except for the lot size. The variance from the lot size requirement is necessary due to the existing legally subdivided configuration and the unavailability of adjacent properties. This variance will allow the applicant the. ability to use the property in a manner that is consistent with similar surrounding commercial and professional uses. One of the goals of the Land Use Element is to preserve and improve the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods. The project has been designed to preserve the character of the surrounding neighborhood. The new flower shop will contribute to the general well being of the community by providing retail service to residents and visitors as well as enhancing the economic stability of the area by converting a vacant lot into a vital, active commercial development. In summary, with the approval of the variance requests, the proposed commercial building will comply with the provisions set forth in the North Harbor Specific Plan (SP2) zoning district and Land Use Element of the General Plan. Staff recommends approval of Variance No. 2005-06 as conditioned. CEQA Compliance This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15303 and 15305. The Class 3 exemption allows the construction of small structures and the Class 5 exemption allows minor alterations in land use limitations. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2004-246 will be filed for this project . f ~~J~~~ ~~ ~ _ c Ann Hsin-An Ni Associate Planner fl '~~ Vince Fregoso~, AI Senior Planner AN:jm an\plancomm\va05-06.032706.pc 31 A-4 R' ~~hA FA CIR. ii ~.~~ ; `erd°n Grove II // ~~ Ri N R1 R2 . l i ~ SP- 1 R2 R2 ,, ,, III///// a° E all 2 ~ ~ / R1 II R1 ~ R1 I I l ~ ~ / HAZARD AV. -- --- - / Rt SD-53 I I~.-- I ~ j Av.

The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Applicant is requesting approval of Variance No. 2005-06 to allow a reduction in lot size for the property located at 101 South Gunther Street. B. Variance No. 2005-06 came before the Planning Commission on March 27, 2006 for a duly noticed public hearing. C. The Planning Commission determines that for Variance No. 2005-06 the following findings, which must be established pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance from the provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have been established: That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, that the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this Chapter. There are special circumstances applicable to the subject property. The subject site is located on the southeast corner of Gunther and First Streets, which is a contained site surrounded by existing residential and commercial developments. The lot size reduction is necessary due to the existing configuration and the unavailability of adjacent properties. This variance will allow the applicant the ability to use the property in a manner that is consistent with similar surrounding commercial and professional uses. 2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of the variance will preserve the property owner's ability to develop the property with awell-designed Resolution No. 2006-005 Page 1 of 6 31 A-10 retail building that is consistent with the intent of the North Harbor Specific Plan (SP2). 3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property because the project has been designed to preserve the character of the surrounding neighborhood. The facility will contribute to the general well being of the community by providing retail service to residents and visitors as well as enhancing the economic stability of the area by converting a single-family residence into a vital, active commercial development. 4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City since the proposed flower shop was designed in conformance with City Zoning, Development, and General Plan requirements. D. This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. The action is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15303 and 15305. The Class 3 exemption allows the construction of small structures and the Class 5 exemption allows minor alterations in land use limitations. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2004-246 will be filed for this project. Section 2. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the public hearing hereby approves Variance No. 2005-06 as conditioned in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated as though fully set forth herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes but is not limited to: the Staff reports and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

DISCUSSION The Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) requires cities and counties to reduce the amount of waste disposed in landfills by the year 2000 and beyond by 50~ or face fines of up to $10,000 per day. In addition, the State could issue a compliance order to the cities or to the County requiring that it implement more stringent and expensive measures and diversion programs with no consideration of local conditions, budget or waste stream. Proposed legislation indicates a push to increase the mandate to 75~ diversion while the California Integrated Waste Management Board has adopted a policy of "Zero Waste". The City of Santa Ana has exceeded the State diversion requirements with a diversion rate of 60~, however meeting and sustaining the diversion mandate has been a challenge for many other Orange County cities and for the County of Orange. Orange County cities diverted virtually the same average percentage of waste in 2003 as they did in 2000, approximately 47$. In fact, more cities were in compliance in 2000 (16) than in 2003 (15). For years self-hauled waste has been viewed by cities and their waste haulers as a barrier to meeting the unfunded mandate of AB 939. Since 1997, two Orange County Grand Juries and two ad hoc committees of the Orange County Waste Management Commission have also identified self hauled waste as a barrier to AB 939 compliance for the following reasons: 55B-1 Resolution Supporting AB939 Surcharge April 17, 2006 Page 2 • It is predominately unprocessed (not recycled) and is hauled directly to the landfills by contractors, clean-up businesses, landscapers, gardeners, roofers, and demolition contractors. • It is approximately 15% of the total waste disposed of annually. • It consists of more than 60°s readily recyclable and compostable materials that if diverted from the landfills could increase countywide diversion by up to 4%. • It is not regulated by the State or by city permit or franchise. • Self-haulers operate outside the recycling infrastructure and therefore do not pay their fair share of recycling costs as do residents and businesses. • Self hauled waste is difficult to accurately determine its jurisdiction of origin. • Out-of-county self-haulers illegally dispose of their waste at Orange County landfills because it's low disposal rates and attribute their waste to Orange County cities. The Orange County Waste Commission has been studying this issue since March 2004. During the last two years the Commission hired consultants and completed waste characterization, facility capacity and financial studies to provide the Commission with a technical foundation from which to make its recommendations. In addition, the Commission conducted a public hearing in August 2005 to accept comments from impacted entities such as businesses and non-profit organizations. Based on the technical studies and comments received from the Public Hearing, the Commission evaluated four options that would reduce the amount of recyclable materials currently being disposed of thereby increasing the diversion rates of cities and the unincorporated county: • Option 1 - Ban self hauled waste from Orange County landfills. • Option 2 - Partially ban self hauled waste from Olinda Alpha and Frank R. Bowerman Landfills and site a C&D processing facility of "last resort" on the Prima Deshecha Landfill. • Option 3 - Ban construction and demolition (C&D) debris and greenwaste from landfills. • Option 4 - Implement an AB 939 Surcharge on self hauled waste. At its November 10, 2005, meeting the Waste Commission selected Option 4, the AB 939 Surcharge, as the preferred option. This option is preferred as it is a market-driven, economically based solution; provides self- haulers with facility choices; encourages private sector market and diversion facility development; results in no increase to city contract rates through 2010; equalizes competition among self-haulers; has minimal impacts to operations and administration; and generates revenue to administer the program and develop countywide diversion programs. 55B-2 Resolution Supporting AB939 Surcharge April 17, 2006 Page 3 City staff has closely monitored the work of the Commission on this issue. Staff is recommending that the Council support the proposal before the Board of Supervisors and adopt a resolution supporting the proposed AB939 surcharge of $19 per ton at County landfills to encourage increased recycling by self-haulers. The intended effect of this surcharge is to make it economically advantageous for self haulers to take these recyclable materials to a materials recovery facility or to a composting facility. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with the action. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the City associated action is anticipated to force self haulers to materials recovery facilities or to pay increased the waste at the Orange County landfills.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The Orange County Waste Management Commission has recommended that the County of Orange take steps to reduce the amount of self-hauled waste at County landfills, in order to increase the amount of recycled waste in the County. B. The Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939, Public Resources Code section 40000 et seq.) required cities and counties to reduce the amount of waste disposed in landfills by the year 2000 and beyond by fifty percent (50%) or face fines of up to $10,000 per day. C. The City of Santa Ana meets and exceeds this standard, but other cities and unincorporated areas have had problems meeting this requirement. D. Two Orange County Grand Juries and two ad hoc committees of the Orange County Waste Management Commission have identified self hauled waste, which makes up fifteen percent (15%) of all waste disposed of at county landfills, as a barrier to AB 939 compliance for the following reasons: 1. Self hauled waste is predominately unprocessed (not recycled) and is hauled directly to the landfills by contractors, clean-up businesses, landscapers, gardeners, roofers, and demolition contractors. 2. Self hauled waste consists of more than sixty percent (60%) readily recyclable and compostable materials that if diverted from the landfills could increase countywide diversion by up to four percent (4%). Resolution No. 2006-XXX 55B-4 Page 1 oft 3. Self hauled waste is not regulated by the State or by city permit or franchise. 4. Self-haulers operate outside the recycling infrastructure and therefore do not pay their fair share of recycling costs as do residents and businesses. 5. With self hauled waste it is difficult to accurately determine its jurisdiction of origin. E. Adoption of a surcharge on self hauled waste a preferable option as it is a market-driven, economically based solution; provides self-haulers with facility choices; encourages private sector market and diversion facility development; results in no increase to city contract rates through 2010; equalizes competition among self-haulers; has minimal impacts to operations and administration; and generates revenue to administer the program and develop countywide diversion programs. Section 2. The City Council supports the County's proposed AB 939 surcharge of $19 per ton on self hauled waste at County landfills to encourage increased recycling by self haulers. Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting this Resolution.

Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute agreements with nonprofit agencies and/or subrecipients awarded funds as part of the approved program. HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Direct staff to transmit the Human Relations Commission's funding recommendations for fiscal year 2006-2007 Community Development Block Grant Social Services Programs to the City Council. By a vote of 7:0 (Hoa absent) at its Special Meeting of February 1, 2006. DISCUSSION Since fiscal year 1974-1975, Santa Ana has received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to improve low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, eliminate blight and create a more stable economic base. These funds have been used for a diverse range of programs including 75A-1 Public Hearing - CDBG Program FY 06-07 March 7, 2006 Page 2 housing, street improvements, parks and public works improvements, social services, historic preservation and community services. The City's entitlement for fiscal year 2006-2007 will be $7,106,574. No more than fifteen percent of this entitlement may be used for social service programs. The proposed CDBG program and budget for fiscal year 2006-2007 reflect the culmination of a process that solicited proposals from outside organizations and City agencies for the use of the annual entitlement. Invitations to apply for funds were distributed to 179 organizations in September 2005. Staff then met with the Human Relations Commission (HRC) in its capacity as the CDBG Citizen Advisory Board to review the applications and conduct three public hearings held on January 18, 24, and 30, 2006 in the City Council Chambers. Following the public hearings, staff met again with the HRC to draft a recommended social service program and budget for City Council consideration. The proposed fiscal year 2006-2007 CDBG program and budget (Exhibit 1) consists of the Commission's recommendations for social service funding and staff's funding recommendations for the remainder of the program, including capital projects, code enforcement and program administration. The HRC ranking and funding recommendations for the social service programs is also provided (Exhibit 2). The City Council public hearing will provide another opportunity for public input and the completion of the process necessary to submit our locally approved program to HUD. FISCAL IMPACT Approval of the recommended action will authorize the City Manager to submit the approved program to HUD and to execute a grant agreement, which will result in the City's CDBG letter of credit being augmented by $7,106,574. These funds will be available for the approved program effective July 1, 2006. APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: ~c Patricia C.

Approve and adopt the Negative Declaration for Environmental Review No. 2004-231. 2. Adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-07. DISCUSSION Background The proposed zoning ordinance amendment (ZOA) is to amend sections of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal code to clarify, modify and establish new regulations. Specifically, substantial changes are proposed to the single-family residential development standards that are intended to address concerns about projects that are not characteristic of or beneficial to their neighborhoods. The current code sections that regulate single family dwelling development were adopted in 1986. These sections have basically remained unchanged for the last 20 years, which has resulted in regulations that are not in concert with the current housing trends. As a result, many of the sections are obsolete and in need of updating. The amendments to the definitions, second dwelling units, laundromat, vending machines and townhouse regulations are primarily intended to clarify and update these regulations. EXHIBIT A 75B-2 Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-07 March 27, 2006 Page 2 Analysis of the Issues Single Family Development The City Council, the Planning Commission and the Historic Resources Commission have all raised concerns about the negative impact recent additions and new single-family dwellings are having on traditional Santa Ana neighborhoods. In an effort to address these concerns, staff conducted an informal survey of approved residential additions of three or more bedrooms. These additions averaged 1,350 square feet and resulted in homes with an average size of 2,675 square feet and 6.1 bedrooms (Exhibit 1). Staff found that the large additions and many recent infill developments, which are similar in size, scale, massing and number of bedrooms as the surveyed projects, had the potential to negatively impact the quality of life of the established and new neighborhoods as follows: • The projects were incompatible with the established neighborhoods due to their scale and massing. • The projects extended the economic life of nonconforming buildings, instead of encouraging them to recycle. • Their design was conducive to improper occupancy due to the excessive number of master suites and imbalance in the proportion of the private and social areas of the house. • A high number of bedrooms appears to increase the parking demand due to the potential for increase in the number of occupants. In May 2004, the Planning Commission established an Ad Hoc Committee to examine the adequacy of the current residential development standards. The Ad Hoc Committee and staff have studied the issues, surveyed neighboring communities and are recommending modifications to the residential standards to work in concert with the recently completed Citywide Design Guidelines to address the identified concerns (Exhibit 2). To address the concerns regarding the scale and mass of additions and new dwellings, several interrelated regulations and standards are being proposed that, when used in conjunction, would shape the scale and mass 75B-3 Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-07 March 27, 2006 Page 3 of buildings while still allowing for the construction of economically viable, competitively sized and architecturally varied homes. Staff is proposing the following: • Reduce the lot coverage from 50 percent to 35 percent. This would result in a maximum building ground coverage of 2,100 square feet on a 6,000 square foot lot. A lot coverage of 50 percent is necessary on small lots to allow viable homes, but not typical on 6,000 square foot lots. A 50 percent lot coverage inevitably will change the uniqueness of existing neighborhoods in Santa Ana and result in communities where buildings are close to each other, such as is seen on newer communities in South County area where lots are generally smaller. • Change the definition of lot coverage to regulate the size of the building footprint and not the roof projection. This would allow patio covers and gazebos, as well as eaves and other similar projections, to be excluded from the lot coverage calculations. For reference, the average lot coverage of the homes surveyed in the study was 32 percent. • Implement design standards to address the size and location of a new second story. This would allow the construction of a variety of architectural styles, which provides the richness in the architectural fabric of the city's established neighborhoods and to reduce the impact of second stories on the existing streetscape, especially when surrounding properties are single story. To address concerns about the lack of usable private open space for recreation, staff is recommending to: • Eliminate the allowable reduction of rear yards when 1,200 square feet of open space is provided. • Clarify that the rear yards are intended to be used for recreation purposes and not for parking or driveways. • Reduce the maximum size of accessory structures from 66 percent to 50 percent of the main structure. Extensive modifications to nonconforming buildings can extend their economic life, while the zoning code encourages their recycling or coming into closer compliance with the current code. To address this concern, staff is proposing modifications to the nonconforming code. While nonconforming dwellings will continue to have the ability to 75B-4 Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-07 March 27, 2006 Page 4 rehabilitate, make structural alterations and even expand, additions of 40 percent or more of the existing building area, any bedroom additions or remodeling involving more than 50 percent of the existing building area will require compliance with the current parking and open space requirement. It was determined that substantial additions and extensive remodels can result in a more intense use of the site and exacerbate existing nonconformities. For example, at present, a small dwelling constructed with two bedrooms and one or no garage can add any number of master bedrooms and construct an addition that exceeds the existing size of the dwelling without the requirement of a garage or the need to preserve usable open space. While the impact of a lack of garage for a two or three bedroom, 1,200 square feet dwelling may not be significant as parking and open space may be accomplished on site, the lack of on- site parking and lack of usable open space for a six bedroom, 2,500 square foot dwelling creates a negative impact on neighborhood streets and the cumulative negative impact further erodes the quality of life for residents. As described earlier, dwellings with a large number of bedrooms can create a larger parking demand as an increase in bedrooms generally can be translated to an increase in number of occupants in the house. At present, the number of parking spaces is based on the number of units. Staff proposes to modify the parking code to require parking based on the number of bedrooms. Similar to regulations of surrounding communities, a graduated system is proposed in Table 1: TABLE 1 Bedrooms Existing Proposed No. Garage Driveway Garage Driveway Up to 5 2-car 2 2-car 2 6 2-car 2 3-car 2 7 2-car 2 3-car 3 8 2-car 2 4-car 3 9 2-car 2 4-car 4 In addition to parking concerns, an excessive number of bedrooms raises concerns with adequate open space, noise, and impacts to the park system. In order to ensure that a single family dwelling does not create negative impacts to the community such as excessive vehicle parking, noise, community meetings and frequent gatherings, staff is proposing to require a conditional use permit for dwellings with seven or more bedrooms, thus allowing these residences to be monitored. 75B-5 Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-07 March 27, 2006 Page 5 Lastly, the amendment will modi obsolete or in conflict with regulations or design guidelines, to be screened, establishing a consolidating the minimum front avoid confusion. fy and delete code sections that are implementation of the new proposed such as requiring mechanical equipment minimum residential garage size and yard requirements in one section to Definitions This section will be modified to clarify and create new definitions. Definitions pertaining to lot coverage, one-family dwelling and vending machines will. be updated, while others, such as porte cochere will be created to clarify other sections of the code. Second Dwelling Unit A minor modification to Section 41-194 (e) of the second dwelling unit ordinance is proposed, which will clarify that the minimum dimension of the usable open space is 15 feet in either direction. Laundromats This section, which was previously modified in 1995, is proposed to be amended to incorporate an additional development and performance standard. Due to concerns with loitering and public safety, the Police Department is recommending that one full-time, on-site attendant be present during the laundromat's hours of operation. This requirement will address public safety and attractive nuisance concerns resulting from the use. Vending Machines The proposed ordinance amendment is the refinement of the outdoor vending regulations originally adopted in July 2003. The proposal increases the allowable width of freestanding outdoor vending machines from 37 inches to 42 inches to better align with the industry standard. Secondly, the amendment specifically addresses outdoor water vending machines that are proposed within the exterior storefronts of "water stores." By way of the proposed definition and standards for outdoor water vending machines, only one such water vending machine would be permitted in each commercial center. The existing maximum of five 75B-6 Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-07 March 27, 2006 Page 6 outdoor vending machines (freestanding or water wall mounted) per commercial center would remain in place. Exhibit 3 includes Santa Ana's existing water retail facilities with outdoor water vending machines based on California Department of Health Services licenses and site visits conducted July 2004. The existing outdoor water vending machines on this list are proposed to be grandfathered as existing non conforming uses. Townhouse Standards The townhouse standards will be amended to eliminate a conflicting standard regarding the minimum street frontage. Section 41-274 of the SAMC stipulates a minimum lot size of 12,000 square feet with a minimum street frontage of 100 feet, while Section 41-276 cites 200 feet as the minimum street frontage. Based on staff research, it appears the conflict resulted when Section 41-276 was left in error in 1991. The proposed ordinance will protect property values and preserve the quality of life by creating regulations that avoid impacts that may degrade or diminish neighborhoods. The proposed standards, in conjunction with the Citywide Design Guidelines, were presented to the Communication Linkage Forum on April 28, 2005 and were supported by the neighborhood representatives present (Exhibit 4). In concert with the City's goal to maintain and protect safe and attractive neighborhoods, it is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment 2004-07 (Exhibit 5).

Box 1988, M-20 Santa Ana, CA 92702 RE: Support for New Guidelines for Residential Additions and Reduction of Lot Usage Percentage Dear Planning Commissioners, The Wilshire Square Neighborhood Association would like to express support for the Planning Manager's proposed citywide design guidelines for second story additions for single family homes to conform to the architectural esthetics of the neighborhood. Wilshire Square Neighborhood Association also endorses the reduction of residential lot coverage to 33%. These guidelines will eliminate the trend toward mansionization and overbuilding on lots. We request the Planning Commission support these proposals to preserve the character of our neighborhoods.

The following modifications in yard regulations may be undertaken: (a) Since the general yard provisions of this chapter have to be applied to numerous types of conditions and shapes of parcels occasioned by varying street layouts and subdivisions of property, it is not advisable to attempt to define herein those cases which warrant exceptions and modifications to the general yard requirements of this chapter, therefore, authority is hereby given the zoning administrator, as a part of his administrative function, to determine in writing the application of the specific requirements of this chapter in harmony with their purpose and intent so that the spirit of the chapter shall be observed, public peace, health, safety, and welfare secured, and substantial justice done under the following circumstances: (b) Where the application of yard regulations cannot be determined or may be interpreted in more than one way as to cause confusion in the administration of such regulations or general yard provisions with respect to irregularly shaped lots such as those resulting from 7~~;~5 some angular or curved streets, particularly triangular or gore irregular shaped lots with more than four (4) lot lines, or reverse corner lots developed in such a manner where the front yarci is unclear such regulations or provisions may be modified or interpreted by the zoning administrator in writing as to an individual lot or to all lots of similar type involving a common problem and the building shall be governed by such interpretation. No fence or accessory building, the location of which is determined in whole or in part by yards, shall be erected or established upon any lot which is so irregularly or oddly shaped as to cause confusion relative to interpretation of such regulations until the yard provisions of this chapter shall have been determined as set forth above.

Project Location: Citywide Environmental Determination On the basis of this initial evaluation, I find that: A. ® The proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. B. ^ Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions to the project have been made by or agreed to by the applicant. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. C. ^ The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. D. ^ Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR (EIR No. -)pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the project, nothing further is required. E. ^ Pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, an EIR (EIR No. -)has been prepared earlier and only minor technical changes or additions are necessary to make the previous EIR adequate and these changes do not raise important new issues about the significant effects on the environment. An ADDENDUM to the EIR shall be prepared. F. ^ Pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, an EIR (EIR No. -)has been prepared earlier; however, subsequent proposed changes in the project and/or new information of substantial importance will cause one or mo~significant effects no previously discussed. A SUBSEQUENT EIR shall be prepared. md\m sword\envcheck. doc\1.15.99 February 28. 2006 Date Page 1 of 1 7~~~32 Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance Evaluation of Environmental Impacts: A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specitic screening analysis). II. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. III. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. IV. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact". The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level. Issues & Supporting Information Sources I.

Agricultural Resources - In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agricultural farmland. Would the project: A. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or ^ ^ ^ Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland) to non-agricultural use? (The Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program in the California Resources Agency, Department of Conservation, maintain detailed maps of these and other categories of farmland.) B. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a ^ ^ ^ Williamson Contract? C. Involve other changes in the existing environment ^ ^ ^ which, due to their location or nature, could individually or cumulatively result in loss of Farmland, to non-agricultural use? III. Air Quality -Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: A. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of ^ ^ ^ applicable Air Quality Attainment Plan or Congestion Management Plan? B. Violate any stationary source air quality standard or ^ ^ ^ contribute to an existing or proposed air quality violation? C. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase ^ ^ ^ of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emission which exceeds quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?

BOX 1988 SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA 92702 CI rY MANAGER David N. Rcam CITY ATTORNEY Joseph W. Fletcher CLERK OF THE COUNCIL PaVicia E. Healy Pursuant to the Procedures of the City of Santa Ana for implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Environmental Evaluator has completed an Initial Study for the project described below: Project Number: ZOA 2004-7, ER 2004-231 Applicant: City of Santa Ana, 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA Project Location /Address: Citywide Project Title /Description: The proposed zoning ordinance amendment would be a consolidated effort to amend various sections of Chapter 41 to correct, clarify, and establish new regulations for single family development, vending machines, second dwelling units, definitions, front yard fences, Laundromats, townhouse and specific development standards. In addition, Specific Development No. 40 will be amended. And does hereby find: That the proposed project cannot, or will not, have a significant effect on the environment. Negative Declaration status is therefore granted for this project. No mitigation measures are required for the proposed project. Signature: Planner II Date: March 1, 2006 This determination is not final until adopted by the decision-making body or administrative official, and a Notice of Determination is filed. 742'4 cs wx TITLE Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-7 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed zoning ordinance amendment would be a consolidated effort to amend various sections of Chapter 41 to correct, clarify, and establish new regulations for single family development, vending machines, second dwelling units, definitions, front yard fences, laundromats, townhouse and specific development standards. In addition, Specific Development No. 40 would be amended. The following is a summary of the proposed amendments. A summary table of the existing ordinance and the proposed ordinance amendments is presented on Appendix A. Single-Family Residential Development The proposed amendment would modify and create new standards to regulate large additions and new single family dwellings (SFD) which are out of scale and incompatible with the neighborhood, and whose massing negatively impacts the streetscape. Specifically, the amendment would create new standards for second stories, reduce the lot coverage, create an open space requirement, modify the rear and side yard setbacks and reduce the size of accessory structures. In addition, the amendment will address the parking impacts and occupancy concerns of large SFDs by modifying the parking code to require parking based on the number of bedrooms and require conditional use permits for SFDS with more than seven bedrooms. Finally, the amendment would delete and modify code sections (including the nonconforming code), which are obsolete or are in conflict with implementation of new proposed standards. Residential Front Yard Fences The residential front yard fence ordinance would be modified to allow the implementation of the Pilot White Picket Fence Rebate Program sponsored by the City's Redevelopment Agency. The program intends to encourage the replacement of nonconforming front yard fences with vinyl picket fences within a defined pilot area. Vinyl was chosen as the preferred material due to its durability and ease of maintenance. 7~~a~5 Definitions This section of the code would be modified to place "transient/residential hotel" in alphabetical order and clarify the area occupied by a pool/billiard table. Second Dwelling Units The second dwelling unit ordinance would be amended to relocate the section that prohibits second dwelling units on parcels that are deficient in public open space from °Standards" to a new section to be titled "Prohibited Locations" to clarify the section's intent. Laundromats The ordinance regulating Laundromats would be amended to require one full-time, on-site attendant during the laundromat's hours of operation to address public safety and attractive nuisance concerns resulting from the use. Vending Machines The vending machine ordinance would be amended to modify the permitted size of vending machines to accommodate the industry standard sizes. The ordinance would also clarify the definition and create additional development standards to accommodate wall mounted water vending machines. Townhouse Standards The townhouse ordinance would be amended to eliminate a conflicting standard regarding the minimum lot frontage. Specific Development Standards The Specific Development Standards would be amended to facilitate and expedite the review of development proposals of structures listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. These properties would be excluded from review by the Planning Commission. Structures listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties would be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission in compliance with Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. 7~~ia~6 Specific Development Plan No. 40 Zone District The Specific Development Plan No. 40 (SD-40) would be amended to facilitate and expedite the review of development proposals of structures listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. These properties would be excluded from review by the Planning Commission. Structures listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties would be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission. RESPONSES TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST The following is an analysis of potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed zoning ordinance amendment based upon the City of Santa Ana Environmental Check List. The analysis incorporates by reference information from the Santa Ana General Plan Land Use Element No. EIR 97-1. The proposed zoning ordinance amendment involves comprehensive changes to the single-family residential development standards. The amendments to the residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwelling units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouse standards and specific development standards as well as amendments to the Specific Development No. 40 zone district are mainly intended to correct, clarify and update these sections. No environmental impacts would be associated with this portion of the proposed zoning ordinance amendment. Therefore, the primary focus of the environmental analysis of the proposed zoning ordinance amendment would be potential impacts associated with the proposed changes to the single- family residential development standards. 2. AESTHETICS A. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? B. Damage scenic resources, including but not limited to trees, rock outpourings and historic buildings within a State highway? C. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surrounding? D. Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? No Impact 7a~a~7 Approval of the proposed amendment to the single-family residential standards would not result in adverse aesthetic impacts to any scenic vista or scenic resource, in that the proposed project would not involve any activities that would result in adverse aesthetic impacts. The zoning amendment proposes changes would enhance the aesthetic appearance of single family development within the City. Additionally, through the City's implementation of the development review process, single-family residential land uses developed under the amended standards would be evaluated for potential aesthetic impacts. The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not result in any adverse aesthetic impacts. 2I. AGRICULTURE A. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agriculture use? B. Conflict with existing zoning for agriculture use or a williamson Contract? C. Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could individually or cumulatively result in loss of Farmland, to non-agriculture use? No Impact According to the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, the City of Santa Ana contains a limited amount of Prime and Unique Farmlands. Presently, there are no areas in the City that are under existing Williamson Contracts. Approval of the proposed amendment to the single-family residential standards would not allow or facilitate development within areas that are considered agricultural resources. The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not result in any adverse impacts to agricultural resources. 75,8 III. AIR QUALITY A. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of applicable Air Quality Attainment Plan or congestion Management Plan? The City of Santa Ana is included within the South Coast Air Quality Management District and subject to the requirements of the Clean Air Act at both the Federal and State level. The South Coast Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) is the primary planning document to monitor if air quality standards and objectives are being achieved in the South Coast Air Basin. The air quality objectives in the AQMP are based upon population and growth projections provided in a City's General Plan. A project could be in conflict with the AQMP if it results in population and growth impacts beyond those identified in a City's General Plan. The proposed zoning ordinance amendment would not impact the growth projections in the General Plan. Therefore, approval of the proposed zoning ordinance amendment would not be in conflict with the South Coast AQMP. B. Violate any stationary source air quality standard or contribute to an existing or proposed air quality violation? C. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? D. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? E. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? No Impact Approval of the proposed zoning ordinance amendment would not result in any long-term or short-term air quality impacts, or odor impacts in that the proposed ordinance amendment would not involve any activities that would generate short-term or long- term air pollutant emissions or odor emissions. While single- family residential land uses developed under the amended standards could result in air quality and odor impacts, the city's development review process would evaluate the proposed single family residential land uses for potential short and long term air quality and odor impacts. 75,9 The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not result in any adverse air quality impacts. III. BIOLOGICAL A. Have a substantial adverse impact, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive or special status species in local or regional plans, policies or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services? B. Have a substantial adverse impact on any riparian habitat or natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? C. Adversely impact federally protected wetlands either individually or in combination with the known or probable impacts of other activities through direct removal, filling hydrological interruption, or other means? D. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree preservation policy or ordinance? No Impact The City of Santa Ana General Plan Land Use Element EIR indicates that Santa Ana is predominantly built-out and that all sizable expanses of undisturbed native vegetation have been eliminated. Approval and implementation of the proposed amendments to the residential standards would not result in impacts to any biological resource, in that the proposed amendment would not allow or facilitate development within biological resources or directly involve any activities that would impact biological resources. The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not result in any adverse impacts to biological resources. 7 ref a~o IV. CULTURAL RESOURCES A. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5? 8. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.57 C. Directly or indirectly disturb or destroy a unique paleontogical resource or site? D. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. No Impact According to the City of Santa Ana General Plan Land Use Element EIR, Santa Ana is known to contain both historical and archaeological resources. There is also the probability that unknown human remains could exist in the City. Approval of the proposed amendment to the single family residential development would not result in impacts to any known or unknown cultural resources. While single family residential land uses developed under the amended standards could result in impacts to cultural resources, the city's development review process would evaluate potential impacts to cultural resources. The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not result in any adverse impacts to cultural resources. V. GEOLOGY/SOILS A-1. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake issued by the State geologist for the other substantial evidence of a known fau A-2. Strong seismic ground shaking? A-3. Seismic-related ground failure, including A-4. Landslides No Impact delineated on the Fault Zoning Map area or based on Lt? liquefaction? According to the City of Santa Ana General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no active earthquake faults, Alquist-Priolo 7~R4~~ Earthquake Zones or landslides within the City. However, several active faults are located within fifty miles of the City. In the event a moderate to high earthquake occurs along one of these faults, portions of the City could experience moderate seismic shaking. Additionally, according to the General Plan EIR the potential for liquefaction within the City ranges from very low to very high. Approval of the proposed amendment to the single family residential standards would not increase the potential for seismic impacts, liquefaction or landslide impacts, in that the proposed amendment would not directly involve the construction of any structures. Potential seismic and liquefaction impacts associated with the proposed ordinance amendment would be considered less than significant. While single family residential land uses developed under the amended standards could result in impacts to proposed structures, the city's development review process would evaluate potential seismic, liquefaction and landslide impacts. The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not be subject to significant seismic impacts. 8. Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? No Impact Erosion refers to the removal of soil from exposed bedrock surfaces by water or wind. The effects of erosion are intensified with an increase in slope, the narrowing of runoff channels and by the removal of groundcover, which leaves the soil exposed. Approval of the proposed amendment to the single family residential standards would not result in or increase the potential for soil erosion or sedimentation impacts, in that the proposed amendment would not directly involve any construction activities that would disturb or uncover soils. While single family residential land uses developed under the amended standards could result in erosion impacts, the city's development review process would evaluate potential erosion impacts. 7~~ a~2 The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not result in significant erosion impacts. C. Would the project result in the loss of a unique geological feature? No Impact According to the City of Santa Ana General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no known unique geologic features in the City. Approval of the proposed zoning ordinance amendment would not result in the loss of any unique geologic feature. D. In the project located on strata or soil that is unstable or that would become unstable as a result of the project and potentially result in on-or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? E. Where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater is the soil capable of supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems? No Impact According to the City's General Plan, the City of Santa Ana contains a wide range of soil types and associated conditions and constraints. Approval of the proposed amendment to the single family residential standards would not be impacted by any soil constraints, in that the proposed amendment would not directly involve the construction of any structures. While single family residential land uses developed under the amended standards could be subject to soil constraints, the city's development review process would evaluate future single family land uses for potential soil constraints. The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not be subject to any soil constraints. 7~ia53 VI. HAZARDS/HAZARDOUS MATERIALS A. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials? 8. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substance or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? C. Be located on a site which is located on a list of hazardous material sites compiles pursuant to Government Code Section 659662.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? No Impact Approval of the proposed amendment to the single family residential standards would not result in hazardous material safety impacts, in that the proposed zoning ordinance amendment does not directly involve any activities that involve the handling and storage of hazardous materials. Construction operations for single family dwellings developed under the amended standards could involve the handling of incidental amounts of hazardous materials. However, construction operations would be subject to local, state and federal regulations concerning the handling and storage of hazardous materials. D. For a project located within an airport land use plan or where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles where a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact According to the City of Santa Ana General Plan Land Use Element EIR, Santa Ana is not located within any aircraft accident potential zones. Additionally, there are no private airstrips in the City. Therefore, approval of the proposed zoning ordinance amendment would not increase the potential for safety hazards for people residing in or working within the City. 7~4 VII. /WATER QUALITY A. Violate Regional Water Quality Control Board water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? E. Place housing within a 100-year floodplain, as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? I. Result in an increase in pollutant discharges to receiving waters? N. Tributary to an already impaired water body, as listed on the Clean Water Act Section 303 (d) list. If so, can it result in an increase in any pollutant of which the body is already impaired? O. Tributary to other environmentally sensitive areas? If so, can it exacerbate already existing sensitive conditions? P. Have a potentially significant environmental impact or surface water quality to either marine, fresh or wetland waters? R. Cause or contribute to an exceedance of applicable surface or groundwater receiving water quality objectives or degradation of beneficial uses? S. Impact aquatic, wetland or riparian habitat? No Impact The City of Santa Ana is included within four watersheds, San Diego Creek, Santa Ana River, Talbert and Westminster. Each of these watershed areas are under the jurisdiction of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board and subject to the objectives, water quality standards and Best Management Practice requirements established in the Santa Ana River Basin Plan and Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan. The City of Santa Ana does not contain any impaired water bodies, as defined by Section 303 of the Clean Water Act. However, the City does contain several drainage facilities that convey surface water runoff into bodies of water that are classified as impaired. The primary source of potential adverse water quality impacts within the City is from nuisance flows. Nuisance flows is defined as runoff that occurs during periods that are not usually associated with rainfall, and are most commonly produced from landscaping irrigation, leaking pipes, and water used to wash off surfaces tributary to the street. Since nuisance flows usually originates in the street, they commonly contain many 7~5 common pollutants found in streets such as oil and grease and sediment. Additionally, surface water runoff generated from the project site during construction operations can be degraded potentially resulting in adverse water quality impacts to downstream receiving waters. Approval of the proposed amendment to the single family residential standards would not result in or increase the potential for water quality impacts, in that the proposed amendment would not involve any activities that would result in long-term or short-term water quality impacts. However, single family residential land uses developed under the amended standards could result in long-term operation and short-term construction related water quality impacts. Through the City's development review process, single-family residential land uses developed under the amended standards would be evaluated for potential water quality impacts. The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not result in any significant water quality impacts. B. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level. Q. Have a potentially significant adverse impact on groundwater quality? No Impact The City of Santa Ana receives 660 of its water from underground water supplies. The underground water basin in the City ranges from -50 feet to +40 feet, above sea level. Approval of the proposed amendment to the single family residential standards would not result in adverse impacts to underground water supplies, in that the proposed amendment would not involve any activities that would impact the underground water basin. However, single-family residential land uses developed under the amended standards could result in impacts to the underground water basin. Through the City's development review process, single-family residential land uses developed 7~~6 under the amended standards would be evaluated for potential ground water impacts. The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not result in significant impacts to underground water supplies. C. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would result in flooding on or off-site? D. Create or contribute runoff water which, would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted run-off? L. Result in increased impervious surfaces and associated runoff? M. Create a significant adverse environmental impact to drainage patterns due to changes in runoff flow rates or volumes. No Impacts The City of Santa Ana has a Master Plan of Drainage to guide the construction of drainage facilities in the City. The existing drainage facilities in the City include a series of underground storm drain systems, open storm drain systems, catch basins and natural drainages. A significant drainage impact can occur when existing rates of surface water runoff are increased and existing drainage facilities are unable to accommodate the additional rates of runoff. Existing rates of surface water runoff can increase through the introduction of additional amounts of impervious surfaces, or through changes to existing drainage patterns. Approval of the proposed amendment to the single family residential standards would not alter existing drainage patterns or increase existing rates of surface water runoff, in that the proposed amendment would not involve any activities that would impact existing drainage patterns or increase existing rates of surface water runoff. However, single-family residential land uses developed under the amended standards could result in drainage impacts. Through the City's development review process, single-family land uses developed under the amended standards would be evaluated for potential drainage impacts. 7~~7 The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not result in any significant drainage impacts.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The current code sections that regulate single family dwelling development were adopted in 1986. These sections have basically remained unchanged for the last 20 years, which has resulted in regulations that are not in concert with the current housing trends. As a result, many of the sections are obsolete and in need of updating. B. The changes to the single-family residential development standards are intended to address concerns about projects that are not characteristic of or beneficial to the residential neighborhoods. C. The changes to the definitions, second dwelling units, Laundromat, vending machines and townhouse regulations are intended to clarify and update these regulations. D. On March 27, 2006, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and by a vote of 6:0 (Rodriguez absent) voted to recommended that the City Council approve and adopt the Negative Declaration for Environmental Review No. 2004-231, and adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-07, to amend sections of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal code pertaining to single family development, vending machines, second dwelling units, definitions, Laundromats and townhouse standards. E. On April 17, 2006 the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing regarding the adoption of the Negative Declaration for Environmental Review No. 2004-231, and adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-07, to amend sections of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal code pertaining to single family development, vending machines, second dwelling units, definitions, Laundromats and townhouse standards. Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the initial study and Negative Declaration No. 2004-231 prepared with Ordinance No. NS-XX Page 1 of 25 75B-73 respect to this Ordinance. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines, a Negative Declaration adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this Ordinance. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City Council hereby certifies and approves the negative declaration and directs that the Notice of Determination be prepared and filed with the County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law. Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulations ("CCR") § 735.5(c)(1), the City Council has determined that, after considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have the potential for any adverse effect on wildlife resources or the ecological habitat upon which wildlife resources depend. The proposed project exists in an urban environment characterized by paved concrete, roadways, surrounding buildings and human activity. Therefore, pursuant to Fish and Game Code § 711.2 and Title XIV, CCR § 735.5(a)(3), the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees is not required in conjunction with this project. Section 3.

Adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2006-01. 2. Adopt a resolution approving the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines. DISCUSSION The Planning Division has been working with the Heninger Park Neighborhood Association to update its architectural design guidelines. The purpose of the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines is to provide property owners insight into the City's goals for preservation of historically significant structures and provide direction concerning the rehabilitation and preservation of structures in the Heninger Park. Analysis of the Issues Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines Since the creation of the existing Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines, there have been changes in development trends within the neighborhood that have resulted in the need to update the design guidelines. These design guidelines are intended to provide a set of design criteria for Heninger Park that will: EXHIBIT A 75C-2 Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2006-01 March 27, 2006 Page 2 1. Guide the preservation of structures. 2. Promote the historical compatibility of landscaping for existing structures. 3. Promote the compatibility of new infill 4. Establish a process for review. building rehabilitation and structures. Staff has completed various tasks related to design guidelines, including the review of policies, the preparation of text and quality result, the Heninger Park Architectural Design and more user-friendly (Exhibit 1). Zoning Ordinance Amendment the completion of these existing standards and design graphics. As a Guidelines are clearer As part of the updated Design Guidelines, an architectural review process is proposed that will expedite and facilitate the review of projects. This will require the approval of a zoning ordinance amendment to the Specific Development Plan No. 40 (SD-40), otherwise known as Heninger Park, zoning district. In an effort to streamline the review process, the SD-40 zoning district would be amended to switch the review of historic properties from the Planning Commission to the Historic Resources Commission. Currently, review by the Planning Commission is required for all exterior modifications and additions to structures, including historic structures, located within all SD zones. The purpose of this review is to enhance the value of neighborhoods, promote public health, and the general welfare of the City and its residents by implementing and encouraging good design principles and promoting orderly and aesthetic development. In addition to the Planning Commission review, development proposals for historic structures require a supplementary review by the Historic Resources Commission. The intent of this zoning ordinance amendment is to facilitate and expedite the review process for new construction within the SD-40 zone by not requiring two bodies to review the same proposal. This amendment would place the review authority for historic structures solely with the Historic Resources Commission, which is in compliance with Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The Planning Commission would continue to review projects if other discretionary actions would be required, such as conditional use permits, minor exceptions or variances. Staff has also taken this opportunity to correct typographical errors, remove obsolete portions of SD-40 and added an updated neighborhood project area map (Exhibit 2). 75C-3 Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2006-01 March 27, 2006 Page 3 Staff held numerous meetings with the Heninger Park Neighborhood Association and members of the French Park Neighborhood Association whose input is reflected in this final document. Additionally, staff presented this proposal as part of work study sessions to the Historic Resources Commission on February 2, 2006 and to the Planning Commission on March 13, 2006. As a result, it is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the recommended actions.

INTRODUCTION The Heninger Park Neighborhood Association may at its sole discretion establish an Architectural Review Committee made up of landowners and residents of the neighborhood which may act as an advisory body of the Association with regard to planning matters submitted to the City of Santa Ana Planning Commission, Historic Resources Commission and City Council. If an Architectural Review Committee is established by the Association, the Association shall provide contact information to the City so the City can provide notice of projects in the neighborhood. If an Architectural Review Committee is not established, the City shall provide notice to the President of the Association. If there is no Association president, the City shall be subject to state noticing requirements, and not be subject to any additional noticing requirements contained herein. The architectural standards that are contained herein set forth some of the standards and processes the City staff follows in developing recommendations. These standards are also a guide to assist residents and property owners in the design of exterior improvements and additions within the Heninger Park neighborhood. This document references the Heninger Park Neighborhood Association; this would include an Architectural Review Committee if so established by the Association. i HENINGER PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ~ ZZ 7,~ y~, ,wwwwwwww7 p MENINOEfl ELEMENTMY ~ o~ 5~~~~ooa:o 00 WALNUT ST. rw--- ~- ~~ ;0000 ' 00 __ °oooo : 00 ~ ~ CNESTNUT Av. ~ ~ ~ w; ~ ~ ~ ~ 1 ~ ~ 1 ~ , i C E , ~ooo~~ooooo a u~sr. i a ooa a N 3T. o 3.

First Street bounds the neighborhood on the north, Sycamore Street on east, McFadden Avenue on the south, and Flower Street on the west. A. Applicability The Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines apply to all new infill development projects and all properties within Heninger Park that have been determined to be eligible or are listed on the City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties; these properties are listed in Appendix A of these design guidelines. These guidelines apply to new development and exterior modifications, including but not limited to rehabilitation or additions. The remaining properties within Heninger Park that are not listed in Appendix A are subject to the City of Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines. The Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines are included within the Citywide Design Guidelines and are available for review or purchase at the City Planning Division Public Counter. 3 B. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines is to provide an official direction to the future development, rehabilitation, and preservation of the Heninger Park Neighborhood. The primary purpose of the design guidelines is to promote the preservation and enhancement of the historical character and culturally significant structures within the Heninger Park Neighborhood. These guidelines will provide assistance to City staff and insight to property owners and others of the City's goals for preservation of historically significant structures within the Heninger Park Neighborhood. The focus of the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines is to ensure that the architectural heritage of the neighborhood's historically significant structures is maintained. These guidelines are not intended to be strict development standards as are found in the zoning provisions. Therefore, the City may interpret them with some flexibility when applied to specific projects. These guidelines provide a set of design criteria that will: 1. Guide the preservation of structures within Heninger Park. 2. Promote the historical compatibility of building rehabilitation and landscaping for existing structures within Heninger Park. 3. Promote the compatibility of new infill structures within the neighborhood. 4. Establish a process for review. This document includes easy-to-follow compatibility guidelines and information on architectural styles and materials, landscaping, and a comprehensive review of procedures and processes. C. Heninger Park Zoning District Ordinance The Specific Development 40 (Heninger Park) zoning ordinance is a separate document that establishes standards for design review, rehabilitation, and development. The information contained within the document identifies specific standards for, but not limited to, setbacks, lot size, and street frontage. Additionally, the Heninger Park zoning ordinance requires all exterior work to conform to City Council approved Architectural Design Guidelines. The Heninger Park zoning ordinance should always be referenced before starting a development or rehabilitation project. A copy is on file with the City Planning Division. Demolition Review Process As specified in SD 40, demolition requests shall follow the established review process. The Heninger Park Neighborhood Association will receive notice of requests for demolition prior to demolition permit issuance. The demolition review process has been established to preserve Heninger Park's cultural and architectural history. For this reason, a specific demolition process has been established. This section applies to all buildings located in Heninger Park's boundaries except structures listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties which shall be subject to Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The Register of Historical Properties is on file, and available for reference, with the City Planning Division. 5 II. REVIEW PROCESS The Heninger Park Neighborhood Review Process applies to all properties within Heninger Park. These guidelines apply to new development and rehabilitation projects. To ensure compliance with appropriate design guidelines and City codes, the City has implemented a project review and approval process specifically for Heninger Park. This process is outlined in the following pages and illustrated in Section II (C). A. City Planning Review Preliminary Meeting Prior to modifying the exterior of a residence, building an addition, or new residence, the project shall be submitted to the City Planning Division. Before developing plans, applicants are encouraged to discuss the proposal with the City Planning Staff. The preliminary meeting is intended to inform the applicant of the Heninger Park zoning regulations and architectural design guidelines. To obtain project approval in a timely manner, it will be necessary to follow the simple steps to ensure the proposed project meets applicable City codes and is compatible with the architectural character of the Heninger Park Neighborhood Staff Review The process will require filing a Neighborhood Review application and submitting plans to the Planning Division. City Planning review is intended to identify the major issues associated with a project. Staff shall consider the following general criteria when a project is submitted for review: Compliance with the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines (hereinafter HPADG) and Heninger Park zoning provisions (SD-40) including: • Compatibility in size, height, scale, and context with the surrounding structures. • Relationship between buildings, landscape features, and open space. • Compatibility of proposed design, color, and material with existing structure. • Compatibility of design and materials with surrounding area. • Compatibility of new infill development with surrounding area B. Historic Resources Commission/Planning Commission Following the initial City Staff review, the Neighborhood Review application and a set of copies of the proposed project plans will be forwarded to the Heninger Park Neighborhood Association [see Section II (C)]. The Heninger Park Neighborhood Association may review the proposed project for compliance with the provisions of the design guidelines and respond in writing to the City within 14 calendar days of receipt of the submittal plans and application. If no response is received by the City within this time period, it will be assumed that the neighborhood association has no comments regarding the project. 6 75C-13 Projects will be defined as either major or minor modifications according to the following: Major modifications include, but are not limited to: New construction or residential additions Changes of exterior finish materials, such as wood siding to stucco Replacement of windows with a different design and mat Minor modifications include, but are not limited to: • Repairs to structures, including but not limited to, exterior siding with same material, finish and design, seismic retrofitting and fire damage repair not involving demolition or architectural design modifications. • Replacement of materials, including but not limited to windows with exact style, material and frames, roofing and exterior siding with same material, finish and design • Restoration of historic features, including but not limited to, removal of asbestos, vinyl or aluminum siding. • Miscellaneous projects including new front yard fences, architecturally compatible patio covers and awnings, and minor modifications determined not to have a significant negative impact on the exterior design of the residence The Heninger Park Neighborhood Association can make recommendations based on the following criteria: • Conformance with the established HPADG. • Compatibility with immediate adjacent structures in relation to height, massing and scale. The Heninger Park Neighborhood Association may make recommendations regarding the project based on the plans complying with the required criteria. If the plans submitted do not meet the design criteria, the Heninger .Park Neighborhood Association may recommend redesigning the project or submitting additional information. Requests made by the Heninger Park Neighborhood Association for changes or additional information should be forwarded back to the applicant in writing along with City Planning review comments. If necessary, plans with major revisions may require an additional review by the Planning Division. When plans are determined to have met the appropriate criteria, the applicant will receive approval from the Planning Division. If a building permit is required, plans shall be submitted to the Building Department for issuance, unless Historic Resources Commission, Planning Commission and City Council approvals are required. The Heninger Park Neighborhood Association comments may be included and considered in Planning Division staff reports to the Planning Commission, Historic Resources Commission and, when appropriate, the City Council. In addition, Planning Commission approval is required for all construction of new residential units, professional buildings, residential additions, and new accessory structures. Planning Commission review is intended to ensure compliance with Heninger Park zoning provisions. Once staff has completed its reviews, the project will be scheduled for a Planning Commission hearing. The Planning Commission will approve, approve with conditions or deny the proposed project based on compliance with the Heninger Park zoning provisions and HPADG. No review by the Historic Resources Commission is required for properties that are not listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. 7. Properties on the Santa Register of Historical Properties Major Modifications Pursuant to Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, the Historic Resources Commission has authority over projects involving exterior modifications to structures listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.

HENINGER PARK NEIGHBORHOOD REVIEW PROCESS N/A =Not Applicable * =Planning Commission will review if project requires a minor exception, variance or conditional use permit per Specific Development 40 or Santa Ana Municipal Code zoning provisions. ~o ARCHITECTURAL STYLES Heninger Park offers a variety of architectural styles popular in Santa Ana and Southern California from 1900 to 1940. With its graceful tree lined streets, it is primarily significant for its wide range of Craftsman and California Bungalow styles. Homes were being built near First Street on Sycamore, Broadway and Birch Streets around the turn of the century as this new residential area began to grow. Fine Colonial Revival and Craftsman Bungalows began to be built in the northern third of the area near Sycamore, Broadway, Birch, and Ross Streets. After the year 1916, Van Ness, Parton, and Garnsey Streets were developed and many of the houses on these streets are a later style of Craftsman Bungalow or are 1920's Colonial Revival and Spanish Revival in design. It is important to understand the characteristics of these architectural styles and the various design details that help define a particular style. The predominant architectural styles within the neighborhood are: Classical Revivals: Colonial Revival Craftsman: Craftsman Bungalow, California Bungalow, Prairie School Romantic Revivals: Spanish Colonial Revival Spanish Eclectic Revival English Tudor French Tudor The following pages illustrate and identify the most significant architectural features and designs of the residences within Heninger Park. 11 A. COLONIAL REVIVAL (1900-19 Many of the charming features of the Queen Anne style can be seen in the Colonial Revival style that was popular from 1900 to 1907. Slanted bay windows, decorated transoms, gabled roofs with pedimented gables accented with fish-scale or decorative shingles were combined with narrow clapboard siding and diamond-paned windows. The style was made popular by the Chicago World's Fair. Its origins are in the colonial homes seen in the Northeast. Travel opportunities had increased and those visiting New England were impressed by the solidity and simplicity of the Early American home. A great patriotic feeling arose, resulting in the opinion that Americans should build homes in the style of the forefathers. The public was impressed with another new idea presented at the World's Fair, where all of the buildings were painted white. After the deep greens, maroons, golds, and tans of the Victorian era, the new white houses were stunning in their simplicity and purity. As a result, older houses were painted white also. Character Defining Features • One or two story • Gable or hipped roof • Symmetrical facades • Narrow clapboard siding • Wide fascia boards • Hipped dormer (centered) • Hipped roofs • Classical prominent porch, sometimes with pediment • Door flanked by side lights • Square or rounded columns 12 nlppea moor wlrn wormer /~VU//UCU IiVIUIlI/lS Rectangular, three-part windows Wood hung windows Decorative transoms Colonial Revival 13 B. CRAFTSMAN BUNGALOW 1905-1925 ~I°°~~,~`~ °~" ~~~~~.;, ~:~.:: ~~ A new appreciation for Craftsman Bungalows has become evident within the last two decades of the 1900's. Those interested in quality and fine craftsmanship are purchasing these homes to restore. Featuring an extensive use of wood both inside and out, the Craftsman Bungalow is known for its graceful and informal floor plan with plenty of windows and French doors to let in the light and fresh air. Gustav Stickley is credited for popularizing the Craftsman concept. He was a cabinetmaker who edited a magazine about the Arts and Crafts Movement, which had become very popular in England. In 1903, Stickley began publishing Craftsman Bungalow plans in his magazine and the style caught on quickly. His plans ranged from cozy cottages to very large two-story homes and bungalow courts. Plans could be ordered through the magazine and adapted to suit the owner's own taste. The Arts and Crafts Movement had a deep social significance. William Morris and Phillip Webb were devoted to the restoration of the arts and crafts to society. The back-to-nature concept was a reaction against some of the miserable social conditions present at the turn of the century. Industrialization, pollution, noise, smoke, tenements, ethnic ghetto, child labor, crowded cities, and poverty inspired a return to nature, simplicity, purity, and a healthy environment. Stickley carried the idea further and felt that the structure and function of a building should be appreciated in its basic form. The Craftsman house often seemed to grow out of the ground. The extensive use of brick, fieldstone, natural river rock, wood shingles, and siding were incorporated into the bungalows whenever possible. As the style grew to refinement, it became identified with certain styles, such as english cottages, oriental teahouses, swiss chalets and airplane style. A whole philosophy of life went hand-in-hand with the style. Called the Craftsman ethic, the back-to-nature theme spread to the use of French doors, sleeping porches, informal gardens and ponds, and walls and fences of natural material. Built- in's such as desk, bookcases and buffets were also common features. Natural colors such as buff, beige, forest green, dark brown, soft gold, and tan were popular. Interiors featured Mission-style oak furniture, molded woodwork, wainscoting, large brick fireplaces, polished wood floors, burlap curtains, and wallpaper and friezes with natural subjects. ~a Character Defining Features • One or two story • Clapboard or shingle siding • Exposed structural elements/rafters • Large open porches, typically with two columns • Overhanging eaves • Triangular knee braces, rafter tails, projecting brackets/beams • Large front windows, often in three parts • Wide front door with sidelights • Doors and windows outlined with wood trim • Extensive use of wood, stone, brick, and other natural materials Craftsman Bungalow ....,... w.u vwuc i v~i.n RH/(C/ I clIIS C. CALIFORNIA BUNGALOW A later version of the Craftsman Bungalow, the California Bungalow carried the idea of simplicity and honesty even further. Homeownership was made possible for more and more families with the advent of the California Bungalow. It could be purchased from the local lumberyard as a kit or ordered from a catalog. Full-page ads could be found for these houses in the "Prosperity Section" of the Santa Ana Register. The California Bungalow was more relaxed than the earlier bungalow versions. Casement windows, in pairs and trios, often featured mullioned designs that were used throughout the house, Picture post cards of California Bungalows, surrounded by palm trees, rose gardens, and blooming gardens, lured many a family to pack up their suitcases and come to the land of eternal sunshine. Character Defining Features • One story • Low-pitched gable roof • Contiguous gables facing street • Clapboard or stucco siding • Exposed building elements • Wood double-hung or casement windows • Large front windows, often in three parts • Prominent front porch often with pair of elephantine tapered columns • Small gable over front porch • Triangular braces • Foundation vents PRAIRIE SCHOOL There are a few Prairie School-style houses in Heninger Park. Prairie School houses began to be built in the early part of this century by followers of the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. An emphasis on horizontal proportions and lines produced a streamlined, yet comfortable home. The honesty, relationship to its environment, and use of natural materials relates the house to the Craftsman Bungalow. Character Defining Features • Stucco or wood exterior • Large porch balcony • Large square stucco-clad posts supporting porch • Multi-paned wood casement or wood double-hung windows • Two stories • Low-pitched, hipped roof with broad overhangs • Eaves, cornices, and fapades emphasize horizontal lines Prairie School E. Colonial Revival Soldiers returning from World War I brought with them visions of French and English Tudors, Norman castles, Moorish and Spanish homes, and Dutch buildings. Every man could have his "castle" in almost any style he wanted. Spanish and other styles were mixed with a creative abandon. With so many newlyweds and families ready to settle down, the Spanish Colonial or Period Revival house offered a romantic and pleasant home. Character Defining Features • Stucco exterior • Red the gabled roofs with red tiles along top of parapet (Spanish Colonial Revival) • Recessed windows with wood trim • Wood casement windows • Small covered entryways • Balconies with wrought iron or turned wood balusters • Large focal window on front facade • Arched windows and porch openings (semicircular, elliptical, or segmental) • Tall chimneys (usually with some decoration) • Use of decorative iron work and tiles on Spanish Colonial Revival style residences PERIOD REVIVAL AND SPANISH COLONIAL REVIVAL (1915-1 ~s Period Revival f ;' } `% f t 3J Y ~ Spanish Colonial Revival 1 ,rt ~ ~ 4 , ~, -~ _; ~~ r ~k~ ~~ ~~ 19 IV. DESIGN GUIDELINES A. The Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation The ten standards of the Secretary of Interior's Guidelines for Rehabilitation are shown on this page. They were developed in 1977 to serve as the guideline for all historic rehabilitation projects in the United States. They pertain to historic buildings of all sizes, materials, occupancy, and construction types. These standards should be referenced when considering an addition or rehabilitation of a historically significant structure. 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal changes to the defining characteristics of the building, site, and environment. 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. 3. Each property shall 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 architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historical integrity of the property and environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall 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. 20 B. Architectural Guidelines Preservation and rehabilitation efforts in the Heninger Park Neighborhood shall be aimed at maintaining and protecting the original architectural features of a structure that will help identify its individual style and thereby continue to contribute to the overall character of the neighborhood. These guidelines shall be utilized whenever repairs or alterations are contemplated to the exterior facade of a structure. Classical Prominent Porch The porch is one of the most important architectural features defining a structure while adding character to a street. A decision can tie made if repair or replacement of the features is necessary by assessing the physical condition of the character defining materials. Existing front and side porches shall be repaired and maintained; this includes stairs, original front and side doors, french doors and sidelights. If it has been determined that repair is not feasible, the preferred option is always to replace the entire feature with similar material. Because this approach is not always technically or economically feasible, provisions can be made to consider the use of a compatible substitute material. Plans to propose to modernize or change the prominent features of an original porch, such as the stairs, overhangs, rails, support columns, and decorative work shall not be allowed, as any change in the structural or decorative elements of the front porch will usually jeopardize the architectural integrity of the residence. 21 Porches and Stairs Design Characteristics • Replacement porch features, elements, and materials shall match original features. Patterns of replacement features or elements shall replicate original. • New construction of front and side porches shall be compatible in size, scale, setback, and design to the historic district. • Porches should be built on raised foundations (if foundation of residence is raised). • Porch stairs shall be built to the style of the residence. • Porch stairs and porches shall be built of wood or concrete. ..-~ I~ I 1~ orignal architectural elements additions Not Appropriate Enclosure The following methods are not recommended when repairing or constructing new porches or stairs: Ready-made (prefabricated) iron railing and oversimplified construction methods. • Changing the original style of the porch roof. • Removal and alteration of front and side porches in part or whole. • Enclosure of front and side porches. • Using aluminum canopies or incongruous balustrades or handrail. • Removal and redesign of original wood porch and stairs with concrete porch or stairs. 22 Foundations Design Characteristics • Original foundations should be maintained to the extent feasible, including vent details such as screens, trim, lath, wood, concrete and ceramic decorative elements. Only the portion of the foundation in need of repair should be repaired or replaced. • Foundations should be consistent with the architectural style of the residence. • Application of mortar or other structural elements or feature should match the original design and craftsmanship. • Vents or other openings should preserve the original vent style in material and color. When replacement is necessary vent and hardware styles should be consistent with the original design. Raised Foundations The elevation of buildings or the vertical distance above grade or ground elevation is an important character-defining feature. In Heninger Park the majority of residential and commercial buildings are built above ground elevation on a raised foundation. Of these, nearly all have cellars and some larger houses and buildings have basements. Generally, access to the cellar or basement door is located outside the building. Raised foundations also, mean wood floors. These floors are generally oak, redwood or cedar in varying colors and board widths. Additions and New Construction Additions should be built to match the foundation style and finished floor elevation or height of the original structure. When the original building is on a raised foundation, the addition should be built on a raised foundation. When the original building is built on a concrete slab foundation the addition should also be a slab foundations. Foundation Vents Homes and building with wood siding generally have wood framed and wood trimmed foundation vents of varying sizes and shapes. Some foundation vents have decorative wood lathe over the screened opening. Homes and building with original stucco siding sometimes have wood, concrete or ceramic decorative elements over the screened foundation vent opening. Foundation Walls Some houses and buildings have concrete, brick, block or stone foundation walls that can be seen where the siding materials stops. The natural finish and color of a concrete, brick or stone foundation is appropriate and should not be painted, stuccoed or covered with applied veneers. Often masonry foundation walls of brick, block or stone match the masonry fireplace chimney and masonry porch piers and railing. Concrete foundation walls are often complimented by a concrete porch and/or concrete caps, railing and steps. 23 The following methods are not recommended when repairing or constructing new foundations: • Pre-fabricated foundation vents. • Additions that have different foundation design than original. 24 Exterior Doors and Entrances Doors are important design features that contribute to the historic character of the neighborhood. Most architecturally significant residences in Heninger Park have wood doors that are particular to their style. The front door is always the most ornate, while secondary doors are usually more practical. The size, shape, and style of doors are an important feature of an architectural style and the original type should be retained. Masonry, wood, and architectural metal that comprise entrances and porches are distinctive architectural features. ~ ° ® o00o arn; ova ~ (ado p n~a ~ ~® ®® ®® rya D 0 00 Bungalow Cottage Colonial Panei Style Period Revival 5pani6h Colonial Design Characteristics • Existing doors and entrances should be repaired and maintained to preserve their functional and decorative features. • Repair, reconstruction, or design should be based on the original design that is compatible in style, type, and material with the historical character of the residence. if using the same kind of material is not feasible, then a compatible substitute material may be considered. • New doors and entrances should reflect the most common historic style of the residence. • Salvage retailers are a good resource for authentic materials and styles. 25 Craftsman Door Enclosure of Front Porch and Installing Shutters at Front Door The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing exterior doors and entrances: • Doorframes should not be covered with vinyl but should be maintained and protected from exposure to natural elements. • Introducing a new door or entrance that is incompatible in style, size, scale, material, or color to the original historic character of the residence. • Hollow core exterior doors. • Use of mismatched hardware or materials that are inappropriate to the style. • Heavy security screen doors with bars. 2s Not Appropriate Windows The size, shape and style of windows are an important architectural feature of most architectural styles and replacement of original windows with inappropriate materials can significantly alter the historic appearance of a structure. Residential windows shall be architecturally compatible with existing structures. Where applicable, double-hung windows with wood trim, eyebrows, etc., shall be used to maintain character and design. The most common window style in Heninger Park is wood single or double-hung with wood sash and wood trim. Other common window configurations include hopper, plate glass windows flanked by single/double-hung or casement windows, or groupings of three or more casement or single/double-hung windows. Windows may often have wood muntins with multiple glass lights, leaded and stained fixed windows. Lintel--- Head Top rail Upper sash Muntin Li ht g Meeting rail Lower Lambs tongue il 6 sash t e Bottom rail gill Parts of a Double-Hung Window Design Characteristics • Repairing versus replacement with new windows is encouraged. • Identifying and preserving original windows and their functional and decorative features is encouraged. Such features include: frames, sashes, mountings, sills, heads, head molds, paneled or decorated jams and moldings, and interior and exterior shutters and blinds. These features should be duplicated in new construction or repairs. 27 • Repairing window frames and sashes by patching, splicing, consolidating or otherwise reinforcing features is encouraged. Such repair may also include replacement in kind of those parts that are either extensively deteriorated or are missing. • When window replacement is necessary, the new window should match the original as closely as possible. Replacing in-kind an entire window that is too deteriorated to repair is allowed. If using the same kind of material is not feasible, then a compatible substitute may be considered for side or rear elevations not visible from public streets. • Retaining the original window opening and size or opening is encouraged. • Preserving original wood window trims or replicating with similar materials is encouraged. • Replacement windows should be of the same operating type as the original window. • Window trims should be replaced with like materials and match as closely as possible to the original, if deteriorated or missing. APPROPRIATE INAPPROPRIATE The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing windows: Removal of original window features or trims in part or whole. Replacing windows in openings that are smaller or larger or a different shape than original. Removing window mountings and/or changing spacing or grouping from that of original windows. 28 ~~~~ r~pproprraie f+~ummum ~noer wmaow • Installation of aluminum or vinyl frame horizontal sliding windows if not part of original design of residence. • "Stick-on" window muntins. • Windows with faux window lights. • Use of reflective or tinted glass or films. • Replacing an original window when repair is possible. • Use of windows that are incompatible with the other windows on the residence or with the overall style of the residence. • Installation of window type air conditioners, fans or vents, etc., in window openings that are visible from public right-of-way. • Security bars on windows seen from public street. is Wood Siding and Shingles Clapboard Siding When repairing or remodeling exterior wall surfaces, the original exterior building materials should be retained where possible and when applicable should be cleaned with the gentlest means possible. With the exception of a few architectural styles, most of the residences in Heninger Park have wood siding. The appearance of wood siding on these residences helps define the historic character of the neighborhood. Wood siding should be repaired and not replaced, removed, or covered with stucco. Siding is an architectural character defining feature and should be maintained and repaired whenever possible. i~"~ tl . ~~ 14' drop slding clapboard Wood Siding Types Design Characteristics Wood Most exterior siding styles are made of redwood or cedar. The different siding styles include clapboard, board and batten, shingle, shake, and plank. Methods of repairing wood siding are by patching, splicing, consolidating from a less visible part of the home, or otherwise reinforcing features. Such repair may also include replacement in-kind of those parts that are either extensively deteriorated or are missing. Replacing siding that is too deteriorated to repair should be replaced with similar material. If using the same kind of material is not economically feasible, then a compatible substitute may be considered. 30 Exterior siding for additions should match the existing siding of residence in finish and design. New construction should have exterior finishes that are compatible with the existing architectural styles of the neighborhood. • Paint color should be appropriate to the architectural style of the residence and district. The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing wood siding and shingles: • Replacing wood siding with wood of a different size or shape. Removal and replacement of wood siding with aluminum, vinyl, asphalt shingle, masonite or (concrete) siding. • Replacing wood siding with stucco. • Coatings (texture coat) applied over original siding. • Use of mismatched shingles and shades or other materials for patching. • Installing shingle without inserting it under the shingle above. • Use of non-galvanized nails, which may rust. • Sandblasting siding to remove exterior paint or dirt. • Use of heat paint removers improperly or carelessly. 31 Siding with Stone Siding with Stucco Exterior Plaster Smooth Stucco Exterior plaster or stucco is a common surface material of the period revivals such as Spanish Colonial, English and French Tudors. Design Characteristics • Stucco is an original feature of some residences in Heninger Park, such as the Spanish Colonial Revival, English and French Tudors, and Prairie Style. • Stucco/plaster should be applied with a hand trowel versus a spray application and should match the appropriate finish of the architectural style. • Paint color should be appropriate to the architectural style of the residence and district. • Exterior plaster has a natural tendency to crack and should be repaired promptly after decay is noticed. • Color pigment should be added to new stucco/plaster when patching or repairing decay on the existing structure. • Plaster texture and pattern should match the style of the period. 32 Not Appropriate -Knock-Down Stucco The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing exterior plaster: Replacement of smooth plaster finish with knock-down stucco on Spanish Colonial Revival, English and French Tudor architectural style residences. Patching plaster without removing all loose pieces and thoroughly cleaning the patch area or without creating a "locked joint" to form between old and new materials. Applying new stucco in such a way that it covers or obscures existing architectural features, such as niches, window trim, exterior molding or the edged roof trim. 33 Design Characteristics All existing exterior historic decoration should be preserved. The following methods are not recommended when repairing trims and ornamentation • Original trim should not be removed or completely replaced when only minor patching or repair is necessary. • Sandblasting should not be used to remove paint on trim. • The application of too many coats of paint obscures details and should be avoided. 34 Trims and Ornamentation Authentic ornamentation and trim on a residence lend character and help identify a particular architectural style. Great care should be taken in handling trim and ornamentation during renovations. Roofs Roofs are important functionally and aesthetically to a residence. When replacement is necessary, new roofing should be compatible with the original architectural style of the structure. The original roofing material for most residences in Heninger Park was wood shingle or shake. The original roof material for the Spanish Colonial Revival style residences was tile. Design Characteristics Existing roof repair shall generally include the limited replacement in kind material or with a compatible substitute and should match in material and color. • Dimensional 30 to 40-year asphalt or composition shingle is appropriate replacement roofing material for all residential styles in Heninger Park, except for the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Roof colors should be a neutral color, such as charcoal gray or brown, that can easily blend in with a variety of house colors. • Replacement Spanish the roof should resemble the original the roof as close as possible, including end trim pieces for Spanish Colonial Revival style residences. Eaves, fascias, soffets, and rafter tails should be considered an integral part of the roof. Care should be taken to preserve the detailing and other character defining elements of these features. 35 Asphalt Shingle Roof Spanish Tile Roof California Bungalow The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing roofs: • The use of materials or colors that are inappropriate to the style of the residence. • Patching roofs with materials or color that do not match the rest of the residence. • Patching Spanish file roofs by "dumping" mortar on cracked tiles. Radically changing or destroying roof design features such as fascia boards, rafter tails, attic vents, dormers, eyebrows, cupolas, cresting, and other similar architectural features. Rolled roofing material and rock roofs. • Applying Spanish design file roofs to any architectural style other than Spanish Colonial Revival. • Eaves and soffets should not be boxed or altered in a manner that affects the original design. 36 Chimneys and Masonry In most historic residences, the chimney was a functional part of the residence and serve as a decorative architectural feature in relation to their design. Each architectural style of residence has its own design that is unique. Masonry is also common at the foundation entrances and porches. The use of natural materials, such as rock, stone, and brick, was used in the construction of most of these elements. Design Characteristics • Replacement of the chimney and masonry shall be in-kind. The chimney should only be replaced if it is too deteriorated to repair or poses a health or safety concern. • Chimney and masonry shall be repaired where there is evidence of deterioration such as disintegrating mortar, cracks in mortarjoints, loose bricks, or damaged plasterwork. 37 • Replacement of the chimney and masonry shall be compatible with the overall form, pattern, and detailing of original chimney and masonry. If using matching material is unfeasible, a compatible substitute material may be considered. • Chimneys and masonry shall reflect and duplicate original design, old mortar in strength, composition, color, and texture. • In replacing or rehabilitating a chimney or masonry, historical, pictorial, and physical documentation should be used if available. • Anew design that is compatible with the remaining character defining features can be substituted if information no longer exists for an original chimney and masonry. • Chimney and masonry materials often match material used for piers. • Replacement bricks, stone, or masonry should match the existing size, color, and texture to the greatest extent possible. The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing chimneys and masonry: • Replacing an entire chimney and masonry, when repair and limited replacement of deteriorating or missing parts are appropriate. • Removal or radically changing architectural features that are important in defining the overall historical character of the building. • Using substitute material for the replacement that does not match the visual appearance of the surviving parts of the existing structure. • Removing a chimney and masonry feature that is unrepairable and/or replacing it with a new feature that does not convey the same visual appearance. • Applying paint or stucco or other coatings such as stucco to chimney or masonry that historically has been unpainted or uncoated to create a new appearance. • Sandblasting to remove paint or dirt. • Using mechanical grinders to remove mortar between brick joints. 38 Roof vents allow proper ventilation in the attic and maintain the structural integrity of the building. All exterior vents shall be aesthetically designed and be compatible with the design of the residence. Exterior vents are most often located in the gable ends of both the residence and garage. Exterior vents should reflect and duplicate original design, typically large and of wood lath construction. Gutters and downspouts should be kept in proper working order and periodically checked for leaks and clogs that may cause water to run down the sides of the structure causing paint to prematurely weather. Design Characteristics • Wood lath is often set in a decorative Criss-cross lattice pattern. • Existing exterior vents shall be repaired and maintained. • Replacement of exterior vents shall match original, elements and materials. • Replacement features or elements shall replicate original design elements and patterns. If using the same material is unfeasible, a compatible substitute material may be considered. • Exterior vents should have wood trim if appropriate with the architectural style of residence. • Any screening should be placed behind the wood lath, not in front. • In new construction, exterior vents should be functioning and not simply decorative. • New downspouts should be placed in the least conspicuous locations such as the sides and rear elevations of the structure. • Gutters and downspouts should relate to the style and lines of the structure and should be painted to match the trim or body color of the structure. 39 Exterior Vents. Gutters, and Downspouts The following methods are not recommended when repairing, replacing, or installing new exterior vents, gutters, and downspouts: • Removal of exterior vents in part or whole. • Alterations to exterior vents, such as widening or reducing size. • Metal or prefabricated exterior vents. • Roof mounted round revolving exterior vents. • Downspouts should not be placed on the front fagade. • Gutters and downspouts should not be painted a contrasting color so they stand out. ao ^YY"~N"a«' wwnaNvuis ra~rnc~ iu matw~ Garages and Accessory Structures Bungalow Style Garage Rehabilitation of garages and accessory structures should reflect the architectural style prevalent during Heninger Park's period of significance. The use of historical, pictorial, and physical documentation of former structures on the site should be used in the design elements of a new garage or accessory structure. If information is not available, a new design that is compatible with the principal structure's character-defining features can be selected. New construction of garages or accessory structures should be compatible in size, scale, and massing to adjacent and nearby accessory structures. 41 Design Characteristics • Anew or existing accessory structure, such as a garage or garden shed, can generally attain architectural compatibility by incorporating a few key character-defining elements of the main building. Some key elements to consider include: o Roof pitch consistency o Building proportions o Door and window style o Color o Exterior finish o Attic venting • New garages and accessory structures should be detached and located at the rear of the residence and out of view from the street. • Garage doors should be of wood or similar material and should be of an architectural design that matches the residence or a modern and functional design that is compatible in design. • Rehabilitation of garages or accessory structures should reflect the existing architectural style of the existing building. • Garage materials shall be of the same or similar materials of the residence. • Contributing architectural design features should be preserved when restoring a garage. • Carriage barn type garages should be maintained and repaired when possible. • Original hardware should be preserved. The following methods are not recommended when restoring or building new garages and accessory structures: • Removal or radically changing architectural features, which are important in defining the overall character of the building. • Using substitute materials for replacement that are different in design and material from the original existing structure. az Exterior Paint Colors The City of Santa Ana does not regulate paint colors. However, the following information is provided for homeowners seeking advice on paint colors. Certain paint colors historically were associated with certain time periods and architectural styles. Over time, these color schemes became less common as individuals and neighborhoods selected more contemporary colors. The selection of a color scheme is very important and should be thought out very thoroughly. To avoid downgrading the architectural identity of a residence, a few simple guidelines should be taken into account when selecting colors for a residence. These are identified below. • Select a color scheme that will unify all of the different elements of the residence and will not clash with each other. • Look at other residences in the neighborhood with a similar architectural style and note any successful color combinations. • Most architectural styles should be limited to three different colors. • The larger the residence, the more subtle the colors should be. Light colors help reduce the massiveness of large fagades. • Stained shingles, brick, stonework, chimneys, and roofing should not be painted. • Limit the use of strong colors to one per residence and to trim areas. Colonial Revival and Prairie School These residences were typically painted white or light colors. Shingles were usually used at the upper level, with siding below. The upper areas should be stained with green, brown, or similar colors, with white used at the lower level. The building trims were generally white, and window sashes were generally painted a dark color, such as black. Craftsman and California Bungalow These residential styles typically had wood siding or shingles, with finished wood trims. The shingles or siding were often stained earth tones of brown or green or sometimes left natural. The shingles and siding should be painted a light to medium, semi-neutral, soft shade of a color such as yellow, brown, red, green, or gray. The trims were often painted white, ivory, or cream. The window sashes were painted white, black, or sometimes the same color as the trim. Period and Spanish Colonial Revival The materials used for both of these architectural styles were similar. The main body of the residence was usually stucco with rough or smooth finished wood trim and either wood shingles, shakes, or clay the roofs. The main body was usually light colored, such as tan, buff, or white. The rough wood features were usually stained dark brown and the smooth wood trims were usually painted a dark color, such as green or brown. The window sashes were usually painted the same color as the trim. 43 Landscaping F'erfod Revival Landscaping and yards can be part of the historic context of a residence. The City of Santa Ana's Landscape Standards are considered the minimum design criteria. The Heninger Park Neighborhood Association recommends exceeding the City's requirements in landscape design with an emphasis on appropriate drought tolerant materials. Design Characteristics • Landscaping should be in scale and proportion with adjacent structures and other landscaping elements and should be of appropriate size and maturity. • Exotic plant species make excellent landscape focal points, such as cactus, succulents, pampas grass, aloes, palms, and vines. • Landscaping shall mean at least grass in the front yard and maintained in a neat and orderly manner. Choose a plant palette and design to compliment the architecture of the structure. • Large shade trees should be added to create a traditional landscape form. Proportion is an important part of creating a harmonious landscape. A one-story residence will be better complimented with amid-sized tree rather than one that towers over it. • Shrubs should be located at the corners of the residences to soften sharp angles. • Balance the landscape using mass, color, or form to create equal visual weight on either side of interest. Strive for some unity in the landscape design, rather than scattered features. • The use of a variety of plants that make the residence attractive in winter as well as summer (i.e., shrubs that stay green all year-round in addition to seasonal plants) should be used. • Xeriphytic or dry climate type plant material is encouraged. • Irrigation systems should be pop-up sprinkler type. as Formal designs should emphasize a uniform balance of landscape features with amirror-like symmetry. Landscaped areas should be plotted out in geometrical shapes and trees and shrubs should be trimmed into stylized forms. Prairie School, Craftsman, and California Bungalow 45 Period, Spanish, and Colonial Revivals An informal landscape theme emphasizes asymmetrical designs. These arrangements should appear to be more natural and free-flowing. The informal design approach is most suited for these styles that reject formality and return to a natural state. The following is not recommended: Removing existing mature, healthy trees Overgrown and messy yards Replacement of landscape with concrete, block, brick, or other similar material as Perimeter Fencing Fences of appropriate materials can do much to contribute to the overall architectural character of the residence. All fencing shall be in conformance with regard to height specified by City of Santa Ana Municipal Code and Specific Development 40 standards and compatible with the architectural style of the residence. If adequate historical, pictorial, and physical documentation of a historically appropriate fence of the residence is available, the features should be replicated. If information no longer exists, a new design that is compatible with the character- defining features of the residence can be constructed. Revival Fence Design • Design of front, side, and rear yard fencing shall be historically compatible with the architecture of the residence. • Fencing should be ornamental in nature and be constructed of material complimentary to the main structure on the property and compatible with the neighborhood as a whole. • Fencing should not detract from street side facades of the residence or building. • Fencing constructed of wood, such as picket fences, can be of plain features or with ornamental carving at the top. Wood fencing is appropriate with the architectural styles of Colonial Revival, Craftsman and California Bungalow, Prairie School, and Period Revival, such as English and French Tudors. • Wrought iron may be appropriate if compatible with the architectural style of the residence, such as the Colonial Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style. • Fencing constructed of wrought iron should reflect historical patterns and feature plain balusters. 47 Design Characteristics • The use of natural materials, such as stone and rock or brick, is appropriate with the Craftsman and California Bungalow architectural styles. • All fencing will be in accordance with the City of Santa Ana Specific Development 40. • Gates shall match fence pattern, design, and materials. • Retaining walls must reflect historical patterns and be constructed of river rock, plain scored concrete, or pre-1920 manufactured stone. • Latticework, in a diamond or rectangular pattern, can be used along the top at rear yards. • Wood trellises are an appropriate feature to complement fences in the rear yard. The following methods are not recommended when restoring or building new fencing: • Cinder block or plain concrete block front yard fences. • Chain link front yard fences. • Fan design wrought iron or exaggerated front yard fences. • Front yard fencing designed for fortressing purposes. • Removal or radically changing important architectural features that define the overall character of the fencing. 48 Not Appropriate Fortress Style Fence The following methods are not recommended when repairing or pouring new driveways: • Paving the area between the edge of the driveway and the nearest property line, thereby eliminating areas for green landscaping. • Removing the landscape from the center of an existing Hollywood driveway and replacing it with block, concrete, or other similar material. • Removing required front yard landscaping to expand the width of the driveway. so Walkways Main entry walkways that are compatible with the materials found on the residence contribute to the overall design of a residence. The materials listed below are appropriate residential walkways: • Brick • Natural gray concrete -wash finish to expose fine aggregates • Stone -random or in cut patterns • Cobble -gray granite or river rock • Decomposed granite • Poured-in-place or pre-cast natural gray concrete stepping stones • Painted concrete The following methods are not recommended when repairing or pouring new walkways: • Repairing cracked concrete with anon-matching material or color. • Pouring entry walkways wider than four-feet. 51 Natural Gray Concrete Walkway Additions Additions should complement the overall massing, scale, material, detailing, craftsmanship, and texture of the original structure and should not destroy significant architectural features, materials, or finishes. When possible, a property owner should accommodate living space needs within the existing envelope of the residence. When additional space is required, it should be constructed so that it is as unobtrusive as possible. Rear additions are almost always appropriate and are not considered a negative impact on the historic character of the neighborhood when complying with the SD 40 development standards. Additions should be designed to: • Preserve significant architectural features, details, and materials of existing residence. • Preserve the character, massing, and scale of the residence by maintaining existing proportions of the new addition. Scale and Mass Each building has a characteristic scale and mass that is unique to its particular style. For example, the Craftsman Bungalow architectural style emphasizes horizontal lines giving them a low to the ground appearance. Low-pitched roofs with wide and thick porch pillars all add to this appearance. Each architectural style possesses unique qualities that help to establish its own individual mass and scale. It is important to recognize these features and incorporate and continue them in additions and expansions. Roof Pitch Consistency APPR{JPRIAT~ Roofl(ne addition f5 integrated rnty the design of the axiating building INAPPROPRIATE Flat or shed roofline addit(on Contra5t5 With the ead5ting rooAine The roof of a residence is an important architectural element that must be taken into consideration when planning an addition. The roof style, pitch, and detailing on the addition should match the original structure. Roof material should also match as close as possible in order to maintain the architectural style of the original structure. 52 New Infill Development There is a limited opportunity for new infill construction in the Heninger Park neighborhood because there is little vacant land available. All new construction, including residential additions and accessory structures, is subject to design review by the City Planning Division and Heninger Park Architectural Review Committee. The issue of the design and character of the new buildings needs to be addressed before the owners and architects begin the design and planning process. All new construction and rehabilitation should reflect styles prevalent during Heninger Park's prime period of significance, which occurred in the early 1900s and which are illustrated in Chapter III. All new infill development should be compatible in massing, scale, materials, craftsmanship, texture, and architectural character with surrounding structures. It is recommended that design elements be consistent with those of the historic architectural style, not modern concepts of these early styles. The following guidelines are intended to ensure that new infill development respects the existing pattern, scale, and character of the immediate neighborhood. Site Planning A new infill building should continue the functional, on-site relationships of the surrounding district or neighborhood. For example, some of the common residential site configurations found in Santa Ana are prominent entries facing the street, front porches, ample front yards, and detached garages located toward the rear of the property. A rhythm is necessary in maintaining the element of harmony in a neighborhood's development pattern. Minimum and prevailing front yard setbacks are established in the Zoning Ordinance. However, in order to maintain a consistency within a district, front yard setbacks for new infill should follow of the following criteria when possible: • They should be consistent with the average setbacks of the two immediately adjacent buildings. In this case, the new buildings may be averaged in a step pattern. • New projects should be respectful of the existing open space pattern and should provide side yards that respect the existing pattern. 54 Infill Residence Architectural Style All architecture needs to consider compatibility with the surrounding context. Ultimately, choosing which architectural style to use is a matter of choice. In choosing an architectural style it is not necessary to achieve an exact replication of the style with all of its characteristic details and decoration. Rather, the goal should be to incorporate the most distinctive character defining features of the style. New builders should become familiar with the various architectural styles in the neighborhood and particularly with those in the immediate vicinity of their property. Height and scale of existing homes should be considered. Height and scale are important considerations because new infill buildings are sometimes taller than one story and their height and bulk can impose on adjacent structures. The height of new buildings should be considered within the context of their surroundings. Buildings with greater height should consider setbacks at the second story to reduce impacts on adjacent single-story structures. Elevations All building elevations should be architecturally detailed. Elevations that do not directly face a street should not be ignored, nor should they receive only minimal architectural treatment. Porches Front porches are commonly found architectural features on most residences in Heninger Park. The incorporation of porches on new houses is encouraged for both practical and aesthetic value. These elements should be integrated to break up large front facades and add human scale. Garages Garages should be detached and constructed near the rear property of new homes. Offsetting the garage behind the front facade of the house, providing a side entry garage, or accessing the garage from the side or rear of the lot is also appropriate. If the streetscape is such that all garages are detached and set back, the new garage should follow the same siting criteria. ss Acknowledgements Prepared by the City of Santa Ana Planning Division and the Heninger Park Architectural Review Committee.

He and his brother purchased the land and they planned, improved, and developed the neighborhood. Over the years Martin Heninger and his wife Mary raised their family, lived in three houses on three different streets, and spent the rest of their lives in Heninger Park. Martin R. Heninger was born on November 29, 1851, in Monroe County, Missouri. His parents were Eliza J. (Stalcup) and William W. Heninger, Martin grew up on a farm. When he was seventeen years old his father died. Martin left school to assist in caring for his mother and his seven brothers and sisters. He remained on the farm until 1882. On July 9, 1882, Martin Heninger married Mary A. Way. He and his bride moved to Dakota Territory, now South Dakota. He worked in the retail lumber business in Ordway. After a year they moved to Wesport where he spent the next twenty years. Mr. Heninger became one of the town's most successful businessmen. He worked in the banking exchange business and owned a 450-acre farm. He later sold his farm and moved to Aberdeen where he bought a third interest in the Aberdeen Electric Light and Gas Company. He lived in Aberdeen until 1906. Mr. Heninger's father had been a Republican and Union man during the Civil War. Like his father, Martin Heninger also had an allegiance to the Republican Party. During the years of . Mr. Heninger's residence in South Dakota he was very prominent in Republican politics and in the public life of the State. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention held at Sioux Falls where he participated in the admission of South Dakota to statehood in 1889. He was elected clerk of Brown County in 1895 and served as clerk for two years. He was a Mason and affiliated with both the Ancient Order of United Workmen and the Modern Woodmen of America. Eventually he sold his holdings in the Aberdeen Electric Light and Gas Company, left South Dakota, and moved to Santa Ana, California. Martin Heninger arrived in Santa Ana, California, on May 15, 1906. His brother H. B. Heninger had been in Santa Ana since 1903. In 1907 the brothers bought thirty-four acres of land from the Noah Palmer Ranch. This land was to become Heninger Park. When they purchased the property it was a barley field. Later they purchased additional land, a tract of ten acres and a tract of eighteen acres. These properties are known as the Heninger Additions. They improved the property by planting trees, putting in sidewalks and curbs, and paving streets. They sold lots and built beautiful homes for their clients. Over a period of twelve years they had built 150 homes and by 1920 had developed most of the lots. The first Martin Heninger family home was on South Broadway and has been torn down. The second Heninger family home is located at 602 South Birch. This large, two-story Colonial Revival style house with a wraparound porch and a sweeping front lawn was built on two lots. This was Martin and Mary's dream home. They lived here with their three daughters: Nora, Mabel, and Mildred. 59 The third Heninger family home is located at 714 South Ross. Martin Heninger lived here until his death on April 1, 1922. He is buried in Fairhaven Memorial Park; his gravesite and marker can be found at Lawn K, Lot 60. In 1922 Heninger Park was known as the finest residential neighborhood in the City. During Martin Heninger's lifetime in Santa Ana, no one had been more instrumental in the development of the southern section of the City. In recent years the Heninger Village Retirement Apartments and Martin R. Heninger Elementary School have been built and were named his honor. so HISTORY OF SANTA ANA'S BUNGALOW NEIGHBORHOOD In the early 1980s a movement to preserve and restore the neighborhood's architectural legacy was organized and was known as the "Birch Street Citizens for a Better Neighborhood." Long time residents and newcomers alike had rediscovered the unique character and quality craftsmanship of Heninger Park's bungalow homes. They were alarmed by the increasing trend in the City to allow the demolition of houses to make way for the construction of large apartment buildings. Fearing the demise of the character of the neighborhood, as they knew it, and grieving the loss of irreplaceable well-built vintage homes, residents met to discuss the future of their neighborhood and make plans for its preservation. Residents believed that the architectural and historical character of the houses, churches, schools, commercial buildings, and neighborhood markets were one of the neighborhood's most important features. They developed a plan which included requesting the City Council designate Heninger Park as a special zoning district to recognize and preserve the unique character. Preliminary work was done before bringing their request to the City Council. A systematic block- by-block, house-by-house historic resources survey was conducted. The survey methodology included photography, mapping, architectural descriptions, and historical research. A black- and-white photograph was taken of each building. Slides of many of the houses and buildings were taken to illustrate a permanent slide show of the Heninger Park neighborhood. Maps were prepared to illustrate four different types of information including contributing buildings and noncontributing buildings. A brief paragraph was written describing the architectural style and details of each building and its contributive status. Each house was researched for historical significance in old city directories. This information included the year of construction, first owner's name and the name of subsequent owners, and the occupation and place of employment of the people and any children listed who had lived in the house. This amounted to a file on approximately 4,000 persons who lived in the Heninger Park neighborhood during its developing years. In April of 1986, the homeowners of Heninger Park appeared before the City Council to request approval of special zoning and guidelines for their neighborhood. Based on information presented by the neighborhood organization and City staff, the City Council officially created the Heninger Park specific development zone and guidelines. The language of the ordinance set forth standards for the restoration and revitalization of the exterior features of all properties. It was given the ofFcial designation Specific Development 40 or SD 40. The boundaries are First Street on the north, McFadden Avenue on the south, Flower Street on the west, and Sycamore Street on the east. The district is known as Santa Ana's Bungalow Neighborhood because of its many craftsman bungalow homes. si Appendix C Glossary of Terms Architectural and Planning Terms Preservation -Preservation is defined as the act or process of applying measures necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity, and materials of a historic property. Work, including preliminary measures to protect and stabilize the property, generally focuses upon the ongoing maintenance and repair of historic materials and features rather than extensive replacement and new construction. New exterior additions are not within the scope of this treatment; however, the limited and sensitive upgrading of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and other code required work to make properties functional is appropriate within a preservation project. Rehabilitation -Rehabilitation is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. Arch - A curved structure supporting its weight over an open space such as a door or window. Awning - A fixed cover, typically comprised of cloth over a metal armature, that is placed over windows or building openings as protection from the sun and rain. Baluster -The upright portion of the row of supports for a porch railing. Bay Window - A window projecting outward from the main wall of a building. Beveled Glass -Glass with a decorative edge cut on a slope to give the pane a faceted appearance. Beveled Siding - A type of wood cladding characterized by beveled overlapping boards with rabbeted edges. Belvedere - A rooftop pavilion from which a vista can be enjoyed. Board and Batten -Vertical siding composed of wide boards that do not overlap and narrow strips, or battens, nailed over the spaces between the boards. Canopy - A fixed, roof-like covering that extends from the building as protection form the sun and rain. Cantilever - A projecting overhang or beam supported only at one end. Casement Window - A window that opens on hinges fixed to its vertical side. Chamfer - A 90 degree corner cut to reduce it to two 45 degree edges. A bias cut. 62 Clapboard -Along thin board graduating in thickness with the thick overlapping the thin edges; also known as weatherboard. Colonnade - A row of columns supporting a roof structure.

Applicability The Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines apply to all new infill development projects and all properties within Heninger Park that have been determined to be eligible or are listed on the City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties; these properties are listed in Appendix A of these design guidelines. These guidelines apply to new development and exterior modifications, including but not limited to rehabilitation or additions. The remaining properties within Heninger Park that are not listed in Appendix A are subject to the City of Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines. The Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines are included within the Citywide Design Guidelines and are available for review or purchase at the City Planning Division Public Counter. 3 75C-116 B. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines is to provide an official direction to the future development, rehabilitation, and preservation of the Heninger Park Neighborhood. The primary purpose of the design guidelines is to promote the preservation and enhancement of the historical character and culturally significant structures within the Heninger Park Neighborhood. These guidelines will provide assistance to City staff and insight to property owners and others of the City's goals for preservation of historically significant structures within the Heninger Park Neighborhood. The focus of the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines is to ensure that the architectural heritage of the neighborhood's historically significant structures is maintained. These guidelines are not intended to be strict development standards as are found in the zoning provisions. Therefore, the City may interpret them with some flexibility when applied to specific projects. These guidelines provide a set of design criteria that will 1. Guide the preservation of structures within Heninger Park. 2. Promote the historical compatibility of building rehabilitation and landscaping for existing structures within Heninger Park. 3. Promote the compatibility of new infill structures within the neighborhood. 4. Establish a process for review. This document includes easy-to-follow compatibility guidelines and information on architectural styles and materials, landscaping, and a comprehensive review of procedures and processes. 75C-117 C. Heninger Park Zoning District Ordinance The Specific Development 40 (Heninger Park) zoning ordinance is a separate document that establishes standards for design review, rehabilitation, and development. The information contained within the document identifies specific standards for, but not limited to, setbacks, lot size, and street frontage. Additionally, the Heninger Park zoning ordinance requires all exterior work to conform to City Council approved Architectural Design Guidelines. The Heninger Park zoning ordinance should always be referenced before starting a development or rehabilitation project. A copy is on file with the City Planning Division. Demolition Review Process As specified in SD 40, demolition requests shall follow the established review process. The Heninger Park Neighborhood Association will receive notice of requests for demolition prior to demolition permit issuance. The demolition review process has been established to preserve Heninger Park's cultural and architectural history. For this reason, a specific demolition process has been established. This section applies to all buildings located in Heninger Park's boundaries except structures listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties which shall be subject to Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The Register of Historical Properties is on file, and available for reference, with the City Planning Division. 75C-118 II. REVIEW PROCESS The Heninger Park Neighborhood Review Process applies to all properties within Heninger Park. These guidelines apply to new development and rehabilitation projects.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLES Heninger Park offers a variety of architectural styles popular in Santa Ana and Southern California from 1900 to 1940. With its graceful tree lined streets, it is primarily significant for its wide range of Craftsman and California Bungalow styles. Homes were being built near First Street on Sycamore, Broadway and Birch Streets around the turn of the century as this new residential area began to grow. Fine Colonial Revival and Craftsman Bungalows began to be built in the northern third of the area near Sycamore, Broadway, Birch, and Ross Streets. After the year 1916, Van Ness, Parton, and Garnsey Streets were developed and many of the houses on these streets are a later style of Craftsman Bungalow or are 1920's Colonial Revival and Spanish Revival in design. It is important to understand the characteristics of these architectural styles and the various design details that help define a particular style. The predominant architectural styles within the neighborhood are: Classical Revivals: Colonial Revival Craftsman: Craftsman Bungalow, California Bungalow, Prairie School Romantic Revivals: Spanish Colonial Revival Spanish Eclectic Revival English Tudor French Tudor The following pages illustrate and identify the most significant architectural features and designs of the residences within Heninger Park. 11 75C-124 A. 900-19 Many of the charming features of the Queen Anne style can be seen in the Colonial Revival style that was popular from 1900 to 1907. Slanted bay windows, decorated transoms, gabled roofs with pedimented gables accented with fish-scale or decorative shingles were combined with narrow clapboard siding and diamond-paned windows. The style was made popular by the Chicago World's Fair. Its origins are in the colonial homes seen in the Northeast. Travel opportunities had increased and those visiting New England were impressed by the solidity and simplicity of the Early American home. A great patriotic feeling arose, resulting in the opinion that Americans should build homes in the style of the forefathers. The public was impressed with another new idea presented at the World's Fair, where all of the buildings were painted white. After the deep greens, maroons, golds, and tans of the Victorian era, the new white houses were stunning in their simplicity and purity. As a result, older houses were painted white also. Character Defining Features • One or two story • Gable or hipped roof • Symmetrical facades • Narrow clapboard siding • Wide fascia boards • Hipped dormer (centered) • Hipped roofs • Classical prominent porch, sometimes with pediment • Door flanked by side lights • Square or rounded columns 12 75C-125 nINNCU rcuvl wun wormer ~wV//UGV IiVIV////W Rectangular, three-part windows Wood hung windows Decorative transoms Colonial Revival 13 75C-126 I3. I:KAr I,MAN k3UNGALUW (9905-7 A new appreciation for Craftsman Bungalows has become evident within the last two decades of the 1900's. Those interested in quality and fine craftsmanship are purchasing these homes to restore. Featuring an extensive use of wood both inside and out, the Craftsman Bungalow is known for its graceful and informal floor plan with plenty of windows and French doors to let in the light and fresh air. Gustav Stickley is credited for popularizing the Craftsman concept. He was a cabinetmaker who edited a magazine about the Arts and Crafts Movement, which had become very popular in England. In 1903, Stickley began publishing Craftsman Bungalow plans in his magazine and the style caught on quickly. His plans ranged from cozy cottages to very large two-story homes and bungalow courts. Plans could be ordered through the magazine and adapted to suit the owner's own taste. The Arts and Crafts Movement had a deep social significance. William Morris and Phillip Webb were devoted to the restoration of the arts and crafts to society. The back-to-nature concept was a reaction against some of the miserable social conditions present at the turn of the century. Industrialization, pollution, noise, smoke, tenements, ethnic ghetto, child labor, crowded cities, and poverty inspired a return to nature, simplicity, purity, and a healthy environment. Stickley carried the idea further and felt that the structure and function of a building should be appreciated in its basic form. The Craftsman house often seemed to grow out of the ground. The extensive use of brick, fieldstone, natural river rock, wood shingles, and siding were incorporated into the bungalows whenever possible. As the style grew to refinement, it became identified with certain styles, such as english cottages, oriental teahouses, swiss chalets and airplane style. A whole philosophy of life went hand-in-hand with the style. Called the Craftsman ethic, the back-to-nature theme spread to the use of French doors, sleeping porches, informal gardens and ponds, and walls and fences of natural material. Built- in's such as desk, bookcases and buffets were also common features. Natural colors such as buff, beige, forest green, dark brown, soft gold, and tan were popular. Interiors featured Mission-style oak furniture, molded woodwork, wainscoting, large brick fireplaces, polished wood floors, burlap curtains, and wallpaper and friezes with natural subjects. 14 75C-127 Character Definino Features • One or two story • Clapboard or shingle siding • Exposed structural elements/rafters • Large open porches, typically with two columns • Overhanging eaves • Triangular knee braces, rafter tails, projecting brackets/beams • Large front windows, often in three parts • Wide front door with sidelights • Doors and windows outlined with wood trim • Extensive use of wood, stone, brick, and other natural materials 75C-128 Craftsman Bungalow C CALIFORNIA A later version of the Craftsman Bungalow, the California Bungalow carried the idea of simplicity and honesty even further. Homeownership was made possible for more and more families with the advent of the California Bungalow. It could be purchased from the local lumberyard as a kit or ordered from a catalog. Full-page ads could be found for these houses in the "Prosperity Section" of the Santa Ana Register. The California Bungalow was more relaxed than the earlier bungalow versions. Casement windows, in pairs and trios, often featured mullioned designs that were used throughout the house, Picture post cards of California Bungalows, surrounded by palm trees, rose gardens, and blooming gardens, lured many a family to pack up their suitcases and come to the land of eternal sunshine. Character Defining Features • One story • Low-pitched gable roof • Contiguous gables facing street • Clapboard or stucco siding • Exposed building elements • Wood double-hung or casement windows • Large front windows, often in three parts • Prominent front porch often with pair of elephantine tapered columns • Small gable over front porch • Triangular braces • Foundation vents Low-Pitch Gable Roof Triangular Braces 75C-129 i u~cc-`-on vvu iuVws lb There are a few Prairie School-style houses in Heninger Park. Prairie School houses began tc be built in the early part of this century by followers of the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. An emphasis on horizontal proportions and lines produced a streamlined, yet comfortable home. The honesty, relationship to its environment, and use of natural materials relates the house to the Craftsman Bungalow. Character Definino Features • Stucco or wood exterior • Large porch balcony • Large square stucco-clad posts supporting porch • Multi-paned wood casement or wood double-hung windows • Two stories • Low-pitched, hipped roof with broad overhangs • Eaves, cornices, and facades emphasize horizontal lines Prairie School 17 75C-130 Soldiers returning from World War I brought with them visions of French and English Tudors, Norman castles, Moorish and Spanish homes, and Dutch buildings. Every man could have his "castle" in almost any style he wanted. Spanish and other styles were mixed with a creative abandon. With so many newlyweds and families ready to settle down, the Spanish Colonial or Period Revival house offered a romantic and pleasant home. Character Definina Features • Stucco exterior • Red the gabled roofs with red tiles along top of parapet (Spanish Colonial Revival) • Recessed windows with wood trim • Wood casement windows • Small covered entryways • Balconies with wrought iron or turned wood balusters • Large focal window on front facade • Arched windows and porch openings (semicircular, elliptical, or segmental) • Tall chimneys (usually with some decoration) • Use of decorative iron work and tiles on Spanish Colonial Revival style residences 18 75C-131 E. PERIOD REVIVAL AND SPANISH COLONIAL REVIVAL (1915-1940) 75C-132 IV. DESIGN GUIDELINES A. The Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation The ten standards of the Secretary of Interior's Guidelines for Rehabilitation are shown on this page. They were developed in 1977 to serve as the guideline for all historic rehabilitation projects in the United States. They pertain to historic buildings of all sizes, materials, occupancy, and construction types. These standards should be referenced when considering an addition or rehabilitation of a historically significant structure. 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal changes to the defining characteristics of the building, site, and environment. 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. 3. Each property shall 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 architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historical integrity of the property and environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall 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. zo 75C-133 B. Architectural Guidelines Preservation and rehabilitation efforts in the Heninger Park Neighborhood shall be aimed at maintaining and protecting the original architectural features of a structure that will help identify its individual style and thereby continue to contribute to the overall character of the neighborhood. These guidelines shall be utilized whenever repairs or alterations are contemplated to the exterior facade of a structure. Classical Prominent Porch (Colonial Revival) The porch is one of the most important architectural features defining a structure while adding character to a street. A decision can be made if repair or replacement of the features is necessary by assessing the physical condition of the character defining materials. Existing front and side porches shall be repaired and maintained; this includes stairs, original front and side doors, french doors and sidelights. If it has been determined that repair is not feasible, the preferred option is always to replace the entire feature with similar material. Because this approach is not always technically or economically feasible, provisions can be made to consider the use of a compatible substitute material. Plans to propose to modernize or change the prominent features of an original porch, such as the stairs, overhangs, rails, support columns, and decorative work shall not be allowed, as any change in the structural or decorative elements of the front porch will usually jeopardize the architectural integrity of the residence. 21 75C-134 Porches and Stairs Elephantine Posts Design Characteristics • Replacement porch features, elements, and materials shall match original features. Patterns of replacement features or elements shall replicate original. • New construction of front and side porches shall be compatible in size, scale, setback, and design to the historic district. • Porches should be built on raised foundations (if foundation of residence is raised). • Porch stairs shall be built to the style of the residence. • Porch stairs and porches shall be built of wood or concrete. - f~'- r iI II orignal architectural elements additions Not Appropriate The following methods are not recommended when repairing or constructing new porches or stairs: • Ready-made (prefabricated) iron railing and oversimplified construction methods. • Changing the original style of the porch roof. • Removal and alteration of front and side porches in part or whole. • Enclosure of front and side porches. • Using aluminum canopies or incongruous balustrades or handrail. • Removal and redesign of original wood porch and stairs with concrete porch or stairs. 22 75C-135 Not Appropriate Enclosure of Porch - Foundations Design Characteristics • Original foundations should be maintained to the extent feasible, including vent details such as screens, trim, lath, wood, concrete and ceramic decorative elements. Only the portion of the foundation in need of repair should be repaired or replaced. • Foundations should be consistent with the architectural style of the residence. • Application of mortar or other structural elements or feature should match the original design and craftsmanship. • Vents or other openings should preserve the original vent style in material and color. When replacement is necessary vent and hardware styles should be consistent with the original design. Raised Foundations The elevation of buildings or the vertical distance above grade or ground elevation is an important character-defining feature. In Heninger Park the majority of residential and commercial buildings are built above ground elevation on a raised foundation. Of these, nearly all have cellars and some larger houses and buildings have basements. Generally, access to the cellar or basement door is located outside the building. Raised foundations also, mean wood floors. These floors are generally oak, redwood or cedar in varying colors and board widths. Additions and New Construction Additions should be built to match the foundation style and finished floor elevation or height of the original structure. When the original building is on a raised foundation, the addition should be built on a raised foundation. When the original building is built on a concrete slab foundation the addition should also be a slab foundations. Foundation Vents Homes and building with wood siding generally have wood framed and wood trimmed foundation vents of varying sizes and shapes. Some foundation vents have decorative wood lathe over the screened opening. Homes and building with original stucco siding sometimes have wood, concrete or ceramic decorative elements over the screened foundation vent opening. Foundation Walls Some houses and buildings have concrete, brick, block or stone foundation walls that can be seen where the siding materials stops. The natural finish and color of a concrete, brick or stone foundation is appropriate and should not be painted, stuccoed or covered with applied veneers. Often masonry foundation walls of brick, block or stone match the masonry fireplace chimney and masonry porch piers and railing. Concrete foundation walls are often complimented by a concrete porch and/or concrete caps, railing and steps. 23 75C-136 The following methods are not recommended when repairing or constructing new foundations: • Pre-fabricated foundation vents. • Additions that have different foundation design than original. 24 75C-137 Exterior Doors and Entrances Doors are important design features that contribute to the historic character of the neighborhood. Most architecturally significant residences in Heninger Park have wood doors that are particular to their style. The front door is always the most ornate, while secondary doors are usually more practical. The size, shape, and style of doors are an important feature of an architectural style and the original type should be retained. Masonry, wood, and architectural metal that comprise entrances and porches are distinctive architectural features. ~~ ~ (a~a Bungalow Cottage Colonial Panel Style period Revival 5pani5h Colonial Design Characteristics Existing doors and entrances should be repaired and maintained to preserve their functional and decorative features. • Repair, reconstruction, or design should be based on the original design that is compatible in style, type, and material with the historical character of the residence. If using the same kind of material is not feasible, then a compatible substitute material may be considered. • New doors and entrances should reflect the most common historic style of the residence. • Salvage retailers are a good resource for authentic materials and styles. 25 75C-138 Craftsman Door ~` Enclosure of Front Porch and Installing Shutters at Not A Front Door ppropriate The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing exterior doors and entrances: • Doorframes should not be covered with vinyl but should be maintained and protected from exposure to natural elements. • Introducing a new door or entrance that is incompatible in style, size, scale, material, or color to the original historic character of the residence. • Hollow core exterior doors. • Use of mismatched hardware or materials that are inappropriate to the style. • Heavy security screen doors with bars. 26 75C-139 Windows The size, shape and style of windows are an important architectural feature of most architectural styles and replacement of original windows with inappropriate materials can significantly alter the historic appearance of a structure. Residential windows shall be architecturally compatible with existing structures. Where applicable, double-hung windows with wood trim, eyebrows, etc., shall be used to maintain character and design. The most common window style in Heninger Park is wood single or double-hung with wood sash and wood trim. Other common window configurations include hopper, plate glass windows flanked by single/double-hung or casement windows, or groupings of three or more casement or single/double-hung windows. Windows may often have wood muntins with multiple glass lights, leaded and stained fixed windows. Lintel- Head Top rail Upper sash Muntin Light Meeting rail Lower Lambs tongue Stile sash Bottom rail Sill - Parts of a Double-Hung Window Design Characteristics Repairing versus replacement with new windows is encouraged. Identifying and preserving original windows and their functional and decorative features is encouraged. Such features include: frames, sashes, mountings, sills, heads, head molds, paneled or decorated jams and moldings, and interior and exterior shutters and blinds. These features should be duplicated in new construction or repairs. 27 75C-140 Repairing window frames and sashes by patching, splicing, consolidating or otherwise reinforcing features is encouraged. Such repair may also include replacement in kind of those parts that are either extensively deteriorated or are missing. • When window replacement is necessary, the new window should match the original as closely as possible. Replacing in-kind an entire window that is too deteriorated to repair is allowed. If using the same kind of material is not feasible, then a compatible substitute may be considered for side or rear elevations not visible from public streets. Retaining the original window opening and size or opening is encouraged. • Preserving original wood window trims or replicating with similar materials is encouraged. • Replacement windows should be of the same operating type as the original window. • Window trims should be replaced with like materials and match as closely as possible to the original, if deteriorated or missing. Not Appropriate The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing windows: Removal of original window features or trims in part or whole. Replacing windows in openings that are smaller or larger or a different shape than original. Removing window mountings and/or changing spacing or grouping from that of original windows. 28 75C-141 • Installation of aluminum or vinyl frame horizontal sliding windows if not part of original design of residence. "Stick-on" window muntins. • Windows with faux window lights. Use of reflective or tinted glass or films. • Replacing an original window when repair is possible. • Use of windows that are incompatible with the other windows on the residence or with the overall style of the residence. • Installation of window type air conditioners, fans or vents, etc., in window openings that are visible from public right-of-way. • Security bars on windows seen from public street. 29 75C-142 Staggered Shingles Clapboard Siding When repairing or remodeling exterior wall surfaces, the original exterior building materials should be retained where possible and when applicable should be cleaned with the gentlest means possible. With the exception of a few architectural styles, most of the residences in Heninger Park have wood siding. The appearance of wood siding on these residences helps define the historic character of the neighborhood. Wood siding should be repaired and not replaced, removed, or covered with stucco. Siding is an architectural character defining feature and should be maintained and repaired whenever possible. e drop siding clapboard Wood Sidina Tvaes Types Design Characteristics Most exterior siding styles are made of redwood or cedar. The different siding styles include clapboard, board and batten, shingle, shake, and plank. Methods of repairing wood siding are by patching, splicing, consolidating from a less visible part of the home, or otherwise reinforcing features. Such repair may also include replacement in-kind of those parts that are either extensively deteriorated or are missing. Replacing siding that is too deteriorated to repair should be replaced with similar material. If using the same kind of material is not economically feasible, then a compatible substitute may be considered. 30 75C-143 Wood Siding and Shingles • Exterior siding for additions should match the existing siding of residence in finish and design. • New construction should have exterior finishes that are compatible with the existing architectural styles of the neighborhood. • Paint color should be appropriate to the architectural style of the residence and district. The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing wood siding and shingles: • Replacing wood siding with wood of a different size or shape. • Removal and replacement of wood siding with aluminum, vinyl, asphalt shingle, masonite or (concrete) siding. • Replacing wood siding with stucco. • Coatings (texture coat) applied over original siding. • Use of mismatched shingles and shades or other materials for patching. • Installing shingle without inserting it under the shingle above. • Use of non-galvanized nails, which may rust. • Sandblasting siding to remove exterior paint or dirt. • Use of heat paint removers improperly or carelessly. 31 75C-144 Sidinp with Stone Siding with Stucco Exterior Plaster Exterior plaster or stucco is a common surface material of the period revivals such as Spanish Colonial, English and French Tudors. Design Characteristics • Stucco is an original feature of some residences in Heninger Park, such as the Spanish Colonial Revival, English and French Tudors, and Prairie Style. • Stucco/plaster should be applied with a hand trowel versus a spray application and should match the appropriate finish of the architectural style. • Paint color should be appropriate to the architectural style of the residence and district. • Exterior plaster has a natural tendency to crack and should be repaired promptly after decay is noticed. • Color pigment should be added to new stucco/plaster when patching or repairing decay on the existing structure. • Plaster texture and pattern should match the style of the period. 32 75C-145 The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing exterior plaster: Replacement of smooth plaster finish with knock-down stucco on Spanish Colonial Revival, English and French Tudor architectural style residences. Patching plaster without removing all loose pieces and thoroughly cleaning the patch area or without creating a "locked joint" to form between old and new materials. Applying new stucco in such a way that it covers or obscures existing architectural features, such as niches, window trim, exterior molding or the edged roof trim. 33 75C-146 Authentic ornamentation and trim on a residence lend character and help identify a particular architectural style. Great care should be taken in handling trim and ornamentation during renovations. Design Characteristics All existing exterior historic decoration should be preserved. The following methods are not recommended when repairing trims and ornamentation • Original trim should not be removed or completely replaced when only minor patching or repair is necessary. • Sandblasting should not be used to remove paint on trim. • The application of too many coats of paint obscures details and should be avoided. 34 75C-147 Trims and Ornamentation Roofs Design Characteristics • Existing roof repair shall generally include the limited replacement in kind material or with a compatible substitute and should match in material and color. • Dimensional 30 to 40-year asphalt or composition shingle is appropriate replacement roofing material for all residential styles in Heninger Park, except for the Spanish Colonial Revival style. • Roof colors should be a neutral color, such as charcoal gray or brown, that can easily blend in with a variety of house colors. • Replacement Spanish the roof should resemble the original the roof as close as possible, including end trim pieces for Spanish Colonial Revival style residences. • Eaves, fascias, soffets, and rafter tails should be considered an integral part of the roof. Care should be taken to preserve the detailing and other character defining elements of these features. 35 75C-148 Roofs are important functionally and aesthetically to a residence. When replacement is necessary, new roofing should be compatible with the original architectural style of the structure. The original roofing material for most residences in Heninger Park was wood shingle or shake. The original roof material for the Spanish Colonial Revival style residences was tile. •--- • ~rr• ~-r• •~•~ Jlldll/STI I lle KOOT On California Bungalow The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing roofs: • The use of materials or colors that are inappropriate to the style of the residence. • Patching roofs with materials or color that do not match the rest of the residence. • Patching Spanish the roofs by "dumping" mortar on cracked tiles. • Radically changing or destroying roof design features such as fascia boards, rafter tails, attic vents, dormers, eyebrows, cupolas, cresting, and other similar architectural features. • Rolled roofing material and rock roofs. • Applying Spanish design the roofs to any architectural style other than Spanish Colonial Revival. • Eaves and soffets should not be boxed or altered in a manner that affects the original design. 36 75C-149 Chimneys and Masonry In most historic residences, the chimney was a functional part of the residence and serve as a decorative architectural feature in relation to their design. Each architectural style of residence has its own design that is unique. Masonry is also common at the foundation entrances and porches. The use of natural materials, such as rock, stone, and brick, was used in the construction of most of these elements. Design Characteristics • Replacement of the chimney and masonry shall be in-kind. The chimney should only be replaced if it is too deteriorated to repair or poses a health or safety concern. • Chimney and masonry shall be repaired where there is evidence of deterioration such as disintegrating mortar, cracks in mortarjoints, loose bricks, or damaged plasterwork. 37 75C-150 • Replacement of the chimney and masonry shall be compatible with the overall form, pattern, and detailing of original chimney and masonry. If using matching material is unfeasible, a compatible substitute material may be considered. • Chimneys and masonry shall reflect and duplicate original design, old mortar in strength, composition, color, and texture. • In replacing or rehabilitating a chimney or masonry, historical, pictorial, and physical documentation should be used if available. • Anew design that is compatible with the remaining character defining features can be substituted if information no longer exists for an original chimney and masonry. • Chimney and masonry materials often match material used for piers. • Replacement bricks, stone, or masonry should match the existing size, color, and texture to the greatest extent possible. The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing chimneys and masonry: • Replacing an entire chimney and masonry, when repair and limited replacement of deteriorating or missing parts are appropriate. • Removal or radically changing architectural features that are important in defining the overall historical character of the building. • Using substitute material for the replacement that does not match the visual appearance of the surviving parts of the existing structure. • Removing a chimney and masonry feature that is unrepairable and/or replacing it with a new feature that does not convey the same visual appearance. • Applying paint or stucco or other coatings such as stucco to chimney or masonry that historically has been unpainted or uncoated to create a new appearance. • Sandblasting to remove paint or dirt. • Using mechanical grinders to remove mortar between brick joints. 38 75C-151 Roof vents allow proper ventilation in the attic and maintain the structural integrity of the building. All exterior vents shall be aesthetically designed and be compatible with the design of the residence. Exterior vents are most often located in the gable ends of both the residence and garage. Exterior vents should reflect and duplicate original design, typically large and of wood lath construction. Gutters and downspouts should be kept in proper working order and periodically checked for leaks and clogs that may cause water to run down the sides of the structure causing paint to prematurely weather. • Wood lath is often set in a decorative Criss-cross lattice pattern. • Existing exterior vents shall be repaired and maintained. • Replacement of exterior vents shall match original, elements and materials. • Replacement features or elements shall replicate original design elements and patterns. If using the same material is unfeasible, a compatible substitute material may be considered. • Exterior vents should have wood trim if appropriate with the architectural style of residence. • Any screening should be placed behind the wood lath, not in front. • In new construction, exterior vents should be functioning and not simply decorative. • New downspouts should be placed in the least conspicuous locations such as the sides and rear elevations of the structure. • Gutters and downspouts should relate to the style and lines of the structure and should be painted to match the trim or body color of the structure. 39 75C-152 Exterior Vents. Gutters and Downspouts Design Characteristics The following methods are not recommended when repairing, replacing, or installing new exterior vents, gutters, and downspouts: • Removal of exterior vents in part or whole. • Alterations to exterior vents, such as widening or reducing size. • Metal or prefabricated exterior vents. • Roof mounted round revolving exterior vents. • Downspouts should not be placed on the front facade. • Gutters and downspouts should not be painted a contrasting color so they stand out. ao 75C-153 Garages and Accessory Structures Bungalow Style Garage Rehabilitation of garages and accessory structures should reflect the architectural style prevalent during Heninger Park's period of significance. The use of historical, pictorial, and physical documentation of former structures on the site should be used in the design elements of a new garage or accessory structure. If information is not available, a new design that is compatible with the principal structure's character-defining features can be selected. New construction of garages or accessory structures should be compatible in size, scale, and massing to adjacent and nearby accessory structures. 41 75C-154 Design Characteristics • Anew or existing accessory structure, such as a garage or garden shed, can generally attain architectural compatibility by incorporating a few key character-defining elements of the main building. Some key elements to consider include: o Roof pitch consistency o Building proportions o Door and window style o Color o Exterior finish o Attic venting • New garages and accessory structures should be detached and located at the rear of the residence and out of view from the street. • Garage doors should be of wood or similar material and should be of an architectural design that matches the residence or a modern and functional design that is compatible in design. • Rehabilitation of garages or accessory structures should reflect the existing architectural style of the existing building. • Garage materials shall be of the same or similar materials of the residence. • Contributing architectural design features should be preserved when restoring a garage. • Carriage barn type garages should be maintained and repaired when possible. • Original hardware should be preserved. The following methods are not recommended when restoring or building new garages and accessory structures: • Removal or radically changing architectural features, which are important in defining the overall character of the building. • Using substitute materials for replacement that are different in design and material from the original existing structure. 42 75C-155 Exterior Paint Colors The City of Santa Ana does not regulate paint colors. However, the following information is provided for homeowners seeking advice on paint colors. Certain paint colors historically were associated with certain time periods and architectural styles. Over time, these color schemes became less common as individuals and neighborhoods selected more contemporary colors. The selection of a color scheme is very important and should be thought out very thoroughly. To avoid downgrading the architectural identity of a residence, a few simple guidelines should be taken into account when selecting colors for a residence. These are identified below. • Select a color scheme that will unify all of the different elements of the residence and will not clash with each other. • Look at other residences in the neighborhood with a similar architectural style and note any successful color combinations. • Most architectural styles should be limited to three different colors. • The larger the residence, the more subtle the colors should be. Light colors help reduce the massiveness of large facades. • Stained shingles, brick, stonework, chimneys, and roofing should not be painted. • Limit the use of strong colors to one per residence and to trim areas. Colonial Revival and Prairie School These residences were typically painted white or light colors. Shingles were usually used at the upper level, with siding below. The upper areas should be stained with green, brown, or similar colors, with white used at the lower level. The building trims were generally white, and window sashes were generally painted a dark color, such as black. Craftsman and California Bungalow These residential styles typically had wood siding or shingles, with finished wood trims. The shingles or siding were often stained earth tones of brown or green or sometimes left natural. The shingles and siding should be painted a light to medium, semi-neutral, soft shade of a color such as yellow, brown, red, green, or gray. The trims were often painted white, ivory, or cream. The window sashes were painted white, black, or sometimes the same color as the trim. Period and Spanish Colonial Revival The materials used for both of these architectural styles were similar. The main body of the residence was usually stucco with rough or smooth finished wood trim and either wood shingles, shakes, or clay the roofs. The main body was usually light colored, such as tan, buff, or white. The rough wood features were usually stained dark brown and the smooth wood trims were usually painted a dark color, such as green or brown. The window sashes were usually painted the same color as the trim. 43 75C-156 Landscaping Landscaping and yards can be part of the historic context of a residence. The City of Santa Ana's Landscape Standards are considered the minimum design criteria. The Heninger Park Neighborhood Association recommends exceeding the City's requirements in landscape design with an emphasis on appropriate drought tolerant materials. Design Characteristics • Landscaping should be in scale and proportion with adjacent structures and other landscaping elements and should be of appropriate size and maturity. • Exotic plant species make excellent landscape focal points, such as cactus, succulents, pampas grass, aloes, palms, and vines. • Landscaping shall mean at least grass in the front yard and maintained in a neat and orderly manner. Choose a plant palette and design to compliment the architecture of the structure. • Large shade trees should be added to create a traditional landscape form. Proportion is an important part of creating a harmonious landscape. A one-story residence will be better complimented with amid-sized tree rather than one that towers over it. • Shrubs should be located at the corners of the residences to soften sharp angles. • Balance the landscape using mass, color, or form to create equal visual weight on either side of interest. Strive for some unity in the landscape design, rather than scattered features. • The use of a variety of plants that make the residence attractive in winter as well as summer (i.e., shrubs that stay green all year-round in addition to seasonal plants) should be used. • Xeriphytic or dry climate type plant material is encouraged. • Irrigation systems should be pop-up sprinkler type. 44 75C-157 Formal designs should emphasize a uniform balance of landscape features with amirror-like symmetry. Landscaped areas should be plotted out in geometrical shapes and trees and shrubs should be trimmed into stylized forms. Prairie School, Craftsman, and California Bungalow 45 75C-158 Period, Spanish, and Colonial Revivals An informal landscape theme emphasizes asymmetrical designs. These arrangements should appear to be more natural and free-flowing. The informal design approach is most suited for these styles that reject formality and return to a natural state. The following is not recommended: Removing existing mature, healthy trees Overgrown and messy yards Replacement of landscape with concrete, block, brick, or other similar material 46 75C-159 Not Appropriate Perimeter Fencing Fences of appropriate materials can do much to contribute to the overall architectural character of the residence. All fencing shall be in conformance with regard to height specified by City of Santa Ana Municipal Code and Specific Development 40 standards and compatible with the architectural style of the residence. If adequate historical, pictorial, and physical documentation of a historically appropriate fence of the residence is available, the features should be replicated. If information no longer exists, a new design that is compatible with the character- defining features of the residence can be constructed. • Design of front, side, and rear yard fencing shall be historically compatible with the architecture of the residence. • Fencing should be ornamental in nature and be constructed of material complimentary to the main structure on the property and compatible with the neighborhood as a whole. • Fencing should not detract from street side facades of the residence or building. • Fencing constructed of wood, such as picket fences, can be of plain features or with ornamental carving at the top. Wood fencing is appropriate with the architectural styles of Colonial Revival, Craftsman and California Bungalow, Prairie School, and Period Revival, such as English and French Tudors. • Wrought iron may be appropriate if compatible with the architectural style of the residence, such as the Colonial Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style. • Fencing constructed of wrought iron should reflect historical patterns and feature plain balusters. 47 75C-160 Design Characteristics • The use of natural materials, such as stone and rock or brick, is appropriate with the Craftsman and California Bungalow architectural styles. • All fencing will be in accordance with the City of Santa Ana Specific Development 40. • Gates shall match fence pattern, design, and materials. • Retaining walls must reflect historical patterns and be constructed of river rock, plain scored concrete, or pre-1920 manufactured stone. • Latticework, in a diamond or rectangular pattern, can be used along the top at rear yards. • Wood trellises are an appropriate feature to complement fences in the rear yard. The following methods are not recommended when restoring or building new fencing: • Cinder block or plain concrete block front yard fences. • Chain link front yard fences. • Fan design wrought iron or exaggerated front yard fences. • Front yard fencing designed for fortressing purposes. • Removal or radically changing important architectural features that define the overall character of the fencing. 48 75C-161 Not Appropriate Fortress Style Fence Driveways ~~ >,: , Hollywood Driveway Driveways for some of Heninger Park's residences lead directly from the street to a detached garage. The Hollywood driveway is the preferred design in Heninger Park and is a driveway consisting of two parallel paved strips for the tires separated by turf or gravel panel down the middle. It is inappropriate to pave the center of existing traditional two-strip driveways with concrete. An alternative to paving the center would be to use brick pavers or stonework as an alternative to concrete. These driveways shall lead directly to the garage and shall not exceed City code requirements. DETACHED GARAGE _ _.. _. _______ _Garege Resitlence _ _.. ,..1' .13 Abs. Front Vard -.;a~,w:.~-. 'Driveway Typical Driveway Dimensions 49 75C-162 The following methods are not recommended when repairing or pouring new driveways: • Paving the area between the edge of the driveway and the nearest property line, thereby eliminating areas for green landscaping. • Removing the landscape from the center of an existing Hollywood driveway and replacing it with block, concrete, or other similar material. • Removing required front yard landscaping to expand the width of the driveway. 50 75C-163 Walkwavs Main entry walkways that are compatible with the materials found on the residence contribute to the overall design of a residence. The materials listed below are appropriate residential walkways: • Brick • Natural gray concrete -wash finish to expose fine aggregates • Stone -random or in cut patterns • Cobble -gray granite or river rock • Decomposed granite • Poured-in-place or pre-cast natural gray concrete stepping stones • Painted concrete The following methods are not recommended when repairing or pouring new walkways: • Repairing cracked concrete with anon-matching material or color. • Pouring entry walkways wider than four-feet. 51 75C-164 Natural Gray Concrete Walkway Additions Additions should complement the overall massing, scale, material, detailing, craftsmanship, and texture of the original structure and should not destroy significant architectural features, materials, or finishes. When possible, a property owner should accommodate living space needs within the existing envelope of the residence. When additional space is required, it should be constructed so that it is as unobtrusive as possible. Rear additions are almost always appropriate and are not considered a negative impact on the historic character of the neighborhood when complying with the SD 40 development standards. Additions should be designed to: Preserve significant architectural features, details, and materials of existing residence. Preserve the character, massing, and scale of the residence by maintaining existing proportions of the new addition. Scale and Mass Each building has a characteristic scale and mass that is unique to its particular style. For example, the Craftsman Bungalow architectural style emphasizes horizontal lines giving them a low to the ground appearance. Low-pitched roofs with wide and thick porch pillars all add to this appearance. Each architectural style possesses unique qualities that help to establish its own individual mass and scale. It is important to recognize these features and incorporate and continue them in additions and expansions. Roof Pitch Consistency APPROPKIATE Roofilne addition i5 ntegrated into the design of the existing building INAPPROPRIATE Flat or shed roofline addition contrasts with the existing rooRine The roof of a residence is an important architectural element that must be taken into consideration when planning an addition. The roof style, pitch, and detailing on the addition should match the original structure. Roof material should also match as close as possible in order to maintain the architectural style of the original structure. 52 75C-165 Second Story Additions Stepback 1 Adding additional stories to an existing residence will always change a building's proportions and should be carefully designed to follow similar two-story examples of the particular architectural style in the surrounding neighborhood. The new second story addition should be setback from the front facade to be better integrated with the residence. Second story additions should be designed to respect and not overpower the significant architectural features such as chimneys, porches, and other similar features. Exterior Materials The exterior appearance of additions should be compatible with the style, quality, dimension, texture, and color of materials on the existing residence. When possible, new architectural features, such as chimneys and porches, should be compatible with the style, quality, dimension, texture, and color of materials on the existing residence. Doors Additions should incorporate exterior doors that are compatible with the architectural style of the house, especially when visible from the street. Please refer to the Exterior Doors and Entrances section of this document for specific designs. Windows Original window type, style, and material should be integrated when creating an addition. Wood single or double-hung windows are the most common window style in Heninger Park. The general rhythm of window style placement should complement the style of the residence. Exterior window trims should be compatible in design and color with windows on the existing residence. Please refer to the Windows section of this document for specific designs. 53 75C-166 New Infill Development There is a limited opportunity for new infill construction in the Heninger Park neighborhood because there is little vacant land available. All new construction, including residential additions and accessory structures, is subject to design review by the City Planning Division and Heninger Park Architectural Review Committee. The issue of the design and character of the new buildings needs to be addressed before the owners and architects begin the design and planning process. All new construction and rehabilitation should reflect styles prevalent during Heninger Park's prime period of significance, which occurred in the early 1900s and which are illustrated in Chapter III. All new infill development should be compatible in massing, scale, materials, craftsmanship, texture, and architectural character with surrounding structures. It is recommended that design elements be consistent with those of the historic architectural style, not modern concepts of these early styles. The following guidelines are intended to ensure that new infill development respects the existing pattern, scale, and character of the immediate neighborhood. Site Planning A new infill building should continue the functional, on-site relationships of the surrounding district or neighborhood. For example, some of the common residential site configurations found in Santa Ana are prominent entries facing the street, front porches, ample front yards, and detached garages located toward the rear of the property. A rhythm is necessary in maintaining the element of harmony in a neighborhood's development pattern. Minimum and prevailing front yard setbacks are established in the Zoning Ordinance. However, in order to maintain a consistency within a district, front yard setbacks for new infill should follow of the following criteria when possible: • They should be consistent with the average setbacks of the two immediately adjacent buildings. In this case, the new buildings may be averaged in a step pattern. • New projects should be respectful of the existing open space pattern and should provide side yards that respect the existing pattern. 54 75C-167 Architectural Style All architecture needs to consider compatibility with the surrounding context. Ultimately, choosing which architectural style to use is a matter of choice. In choosing an architectural style it is not necessary to achieve an exact replication of the style with all of its characteristic details and decoration. Rather, the goal should be to incorporate the most distinctive character defining features of the style. APPROPRIATE INFILL :`` ~ ~'Ir A'~' err . ;Y ,~.~ ~. ~• _- pattern of bulldinge le maintained }IINAPPROPRIATE INFILL pattarn is broken by large obstrueive buildings New builders should become familiar with the various architectural styles in the neighborhood and particularly with those in the immediate vicinity of their property. Height and scale of existing homes should be considered. Height and scale are important considerations because new infill buildings are sometimes taller than one story and their height and bulk can impose on adjacent structures. The height of new buildings should be considered within the context of their surroundings. Buildings with greater height should consider setbacks at the second story to reduce impacts on adjacent single-story structures. Elevations All building elevations should be architecturally detailed. Elevations that do not directly face a street should not be ignored, nor should they receive only minimal architectural treatment. Porches Front porches are commonly found architectural features on most residences in Heninger Park. The incorporation of porches on new houses is encouraged for both practical and aesthetic value. These elements should be integrated to break up large front fapades and add human scale. Garages Garages should be detached and constructed near the rear property of new homes. Offsetting the garage behind the front far~ade of the house, providing a side entry garage, or accessing the garage from the side or rear of the lot is also appropriate. If the streetscape is such that all garages are detached and set back, the new garage should follow the same siting criteria. 55 75C-168 Acknowledgements Prepared by the City of Santa Ana Planning Division and the Heninger Park Architectural Review Committee.

He and his brother purchased the land and they planned, improved, and developed the neighborhood. Over the years Martin Heninger and his wife Mary raised their family, lived in three houses on three different streets, and spent the rest of their lives in Heninger Park. Martin R. Heninger was born on November 29, 1851, in Monroe County, Missouri. His parents were Eliza J. (Stalcup) and William W. Heninger. Martin grew up on a farm. When he was seventeen years old his father died. Martin left school to assist in caring for his mother and his seven brothers and sisters. He remained on the farm until 1882. On July 9, 1882, Martin Heninger married Mary A. Way. He and his bride moved to Dakota Territory, now South Dakota. He worked in the retail lumber business in Ordway. After a year they moved to Wesport where he spent the next twenty years. Mr. Heninger became one of the town's most successful businessmen. He worked in the banking exchange business and owned a 450-acre farm. He later sold his farm and moved to Aberdeen where he bought a third interest in the Aberdeen Electric Light and Gas Company. He lived in Aberdeen until 1906. Mr. Heninger's father had been a Republican and Union man during the Civil War. Like his father, Martin Heninger also had an allegiance to the Republican Party. During the years of Mr. Heninger's residence in South Dakota he was very prominent in Republican politics and in the public life of the State. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention held at Sioux Falls where he participated in the admission of South Dakota to statehood in 1889. He was elected clerk of Brown County in 1895 and served as clerk for two years. He was a Mason and affiliated with both the Ancient Order of United Workmen and the Modern Woodmen of America. Eventually he sold his holdings in the Aberdeen Electric Light and Gas Company, left South Dakota, and moved to Santa Ana, California. Martin Heninger arrived in Santa Ana, California, on May 15, 1906. His brother H. B. Heninger had been in Santa Ana since 1903. In 1907 the brothers bought thirty-four acres of land from the Noah Palmer Ranch. This land was to become Heninger Park. When they purchased the property it was a barley field. Later they purchased additional land, a tract of ten acres and a tract of eighteen acres. These properties are known as the Heninger Additions. They improved the property by planting trees, putting in sidewalks and curbs, and paving streets. They sold lots and built beautiful homes for their clients. Over a period of twelve years they had built 150 homes and by 1920 had developed most of the lots. The first Martin Heninger family home was on South Broadway and has been torn down. The second Heninger family home is located at 602 South Birch. This large, two-story Colonial Revival style house with a wraparound porch and a sweeping front lawn was built on two lots. This was Martin and Mary's dream home. They lived here with their three daughters: Nora, Mabel, and Mildred. 59 75C-172 The third Heninger family home is located at 714 South Ross. Martin Heninger lived here until his death on April 1, 1922. He is buried in Fairhaven Memorial Park; his gravesite and marker can be found at Lawn K, Lot 60. In 1922 Heninger Park was known as the finest residential neighborhood in the City. During Martin Heninger's lifetime in Santa Ana, no one had been more instrumental in the development of the southern section of the City. In recent years the Heninger Village Retirement Apartments and Martin R. Heninger Elementary School have been built and were named his honor. 60 75C-173 HISTORY OF SANTA ANA'S BUNGALOW NEIGHBORHOOD In the early 1980s a movement to preserve and restore the neighborhood's architectural legacy was organized and was known as the "Birch Street Citizens for a Better Neighborhood." Long time residents and newcomers alike had rediscovered the unique character and quality craftsmanship of Heninger Park's bungalow homes. They were alarmed by the increasing trend in the City to allow the demolition of houses to make way for the construction of large apartment buildings. Fearing the demise of the character of the neighborhood, as they knew it, and grieving the loss of irreplaceable well-built vintage homes, residents met to discuss the future of their neighborhood and make plans for its preservation. Residents believed that the architectural and historical character of the houses, churches, schools, commercial buildings, and neighborhood markets were one of the neighborhood's most important features. They developed a plan which included requesting the City Council designate Heninger Park as a special zoning district to recognize and preserve the unique character. Preliminary work was done before bringing their request to the City Council. A systematic block- by-block, house-by-house historic resources survey was conducted. The survey methodology included photography, mapping, architectural descriptions, and historical research. A black- and-white photograph was taken of each building. Slides of many of the houses and buildings were taken to illustrate a permanent slide show of the Heninger Park neighborhood. Maps were prepared to illustrate four different types of information including contributing buildings and noncontributing buildings. A brief paragraph was written describing the architectural style and details of each building and its contributive status. Each house was researched for historical significance in old city directories. This information included the year of construction, first owner's name and the name of subsequent owners, and the occupation and place of employment of the people and any children listed who had lived in the house. This amounted to a file on approximately 4,000 persons who lived in the Heninger Park neighborhood during its developing years. In April of 1986, the homeowners of Heninger Park appeared before the City Council to request approval of special zoning and guidelines for their neighborhood. Based on information presented by the neighborhood organization and City staff, the City Council officially created the Heninger Park specific development zone and guidelines. The language of the ordinance set forth standards for the restoration and revitalization of the exterior features of all properties. It was given the official designation Specific Development 40 or SD 40. The boundaries are First Street on the north, McFadden Avenue on the south, Flower Street on the west, and Sycamore Street on the east. The district is known as Santa Ana's Bungalow Neighborhood because of its many craftsman bungalow homes. 61 75C-174 Appendix C Glossary of Terms Architectural and Planning Terms Preservation -Preservation is defined as the act or process of applying measures necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity, and materials of a historic property.

DISCUSSION The City has recently completed work on the preparation of a Citywide Design Guidelines manual. The Guidelines are a set of architectural and design principles that provide guidance to business owners, homeowners, City staff and the design community regarding the development and rehabilitation of property. Since the last formal update to the Design Guidelines in 1984, changes in development trends in the City and the desire to offer progressive design solutions have resulted in the need for an updated and comprehensive document. Staff has completed various tasks related to the completion of this document, including the review of existing design standards and policies, the updating of existing text and complementary graphics, and the preparation of text and graphics for new design principles. The final product is a document that is easy to interpret, contains an innovative page layout, and will be posted on the City's website to allow 24 hour accessibility to interested parties. Finally, the document will clearly express the City's expectations of quality design. 75D-1 Citywide Design Guidelines April 17, 2006 Page 2 To complete this document, staff held a series of meetings with Ad Hoc Committees from the Planning Commission and Historic Resources Commission over a period of one and a half years. At the conclusion of these Ad Hoc Committee sessions, a joint meeting was held in September 2005 with the Historic Resources Commission and Planning Commission to discuss the document. All comments generated from these Commissions have been incorporated into the final version of the document. In addition, public outreach has included briefings and presentations to the Communication Linkages Forum, the Environmental and Transportation Advisory Committee and the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission. Many of the provisions found in the guidelines serve to address issues raised by neighborhoods over the years. On November 3, 2005, the Historic Resources Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council adopt the Citywide Design Guidelines. On November 14, 2005, the Planning Commission also unanimously recommended that the City Council adopt the Citywide Design Guidelines. Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Citywide Design Guidelines.
