collection agency for delinquent dog license fees, penalties, and new dog
license fees. Under the terms of the agreement, CCI is compensated in the
amount of fifty percent for each dog license fee collected, fifty cents
for each new dog license sold, and fifty cents for each rabies vaccination

DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
The applicant, Bernabe Aguilar Saldivar, requests the approval of
Historic Property Preservation Agreement No. 2005-16 (Mills Act) between
the applicant and the City of Santa Ana.
Property Description
The subject property includes a two-story residence and a detached
single-car garage located at 711 South Broadway, and is within the
Heninger Park neighborhood. Surrounding land uses are single family
residential with multi-family to the west,
Analysis of the Issues
In March 1999, the City Council approved an ordinance authorizing
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as the
Mills Act contracts, for eligible historic properties. The agreement
provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a
property tax reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment
to maintain the property in a good state of repair and to rehabilitate
the property as necessary to maintain its character and appearance.
Once recorded, the agreement triggers the use of a different valuation
method in determining the property's assessed value, thereby resulting
in potentially significant property tax savings for the owner.
EXHIBIT A
25A-3
HPPA No. 2005-16
April 6, 2006
Page 2
One of the eligibility requirements for the Mills Act is that the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties. The subj ect property was placed on the local register and
categorized as Landmark in February 2004 by the Historic Resources
Commission (Exhibit 1)
Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City
enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Exhibit 2). A
review of the property indicates that this Craftsman styled structure is
in excellent condition. As a result, a supplemental property
rehabilitation plan will not be required as part of this agreement.
Photos of the property are included with the agreement as well as a
photo location map. The benefits of executing this agreement include,
but are not limited to, the following:
1. Reduced property tax to allow reinvestment for the long-term
preservation of the property.
2. Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation.
3. Provides an additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase
historic structures.
4. Discourages inappropriate alterations to the historic property.
5. Provides an opportunity for visual improvement to the physical
environment of the community.
6. Offers additional support and attention for historic districts and
historic structures in the City.
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is exempt from further review, A Notice of Exemption
will be filed for this project.

ARCIDTECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Craftsman architecture was popularized by The Craftsman
magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and
Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of
fonn, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new
appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious
porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped
roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of
stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly
proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Harding House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion I, for its reflection of the
distinguishing characteristics of the early Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its
"unique architectural significance" as a highly intact and picturesquely detailed example of the early Craftsman style (Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2).

Harding House
*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
This one and a half story residence is a highly picturesque example of lhe early Craltsman style. Capped by a fairly
steeply pitched, side-gabled roof, the building is sheathed with narrow clapboard. A pair of shingled, front-gabled
dormers, each containing a single, double-hung window with diamond-paned upper sashes, are linked by a third window
with an art glass upper sash that is topped by a shed roof. Roof detailing includes ornately carved braces and
bargeboards, with ralters exposed in the eaves. Spanning the fayade, the front porch is tucked under the roof overhang.
Unusual porch supports, consisting of two tiers of tapered columns, sit on a solid porch railing. The columns support
cornices, above which flattened arches define each of the porch bays. The fenestration is symmetrical on the fayade, with
tripartite windows, each with a diamond-paned, leaded glass transom, flanking the central entry. An identical window
grouping is localed on the north elevation. Window surrounds echo the classical detailing of the porch cornices. Two
'bump-outs" on the south elevation are topped by pent roofs. The only visible alterations to the house include the
replacement of the front of the porch foundation, originally art stone like the sides, and the front stairs with red brick and
the substitution of a paneled wood door for the original, which probably had a rectangular or oval window in its upper half.
A front-gabled garage and a carport southeast of the house are not original.

The Harding House is architecturally significant as a finely detailed example of the early Craftsman style. No records of its
construction have been found, and its estimated date of construction, circa 1908, is based on its use of decorative detailing
associated with the early 1900s. According to previous research, the house may have been moved to this location, perhaps
in 1929, when Reverend U. Earl Ray Harding built a garage on the property. The Pastor of the Church of the Nazarene
(located at the corner of Fifth and Parton Streets), Harding occupied the house with his wife, Rosa.

.B10, Significance (continued):
The Harding House is located in Heninger Park, a residential neighborhood that developed south of the original city core,
primarily between 1910 and 1930. Generally bounded by West First Street on the north, West McFadden Avenue (originally
Fairview Avenue) on the south, South Sycamore Street on the east, and South Flower Street on the west, the neighborhood
had a few homes, mostly located in the northern half. when the area was partially mapped in 1895 by the Sanborn
Company. Most of the land was agricultural in use. The City utilized the southwest corner of West First and South Garnsey
(then called Palm) for the municipal water works, and the City stables were located on the northwest corner of Palm and
West Walnul.
Brothers H. B. and Martin Heninger were responsible for developing and platting the tract following their purchase of thirty-
four acres of what was known as the Palmer Tract in 1907. The Heningers planted trees, put in sidewalks and curbs, and
paved the streets on what had been a barley field. Later they bought additional tracts of ten and eighteen acres which they
also platted and improved. These properties were known as Heninger Additions Numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. In 1921, Orange
County historian Samuel Armor described the Heninger tracts as "... the finest residence section of the city, built up with fine
homes...: adding, " Mr. {Martin] Heninger and his brother have erected 150 houses on the property" (Armor, p. 1777). The
major landmark of the neighborhood was the campus of Santa Ana Polytechnic High School, which occupied a campus that
stretched from West Walnut to West Camille between South Ross and South Parton Streets.
The majority of homes in the area showcase the Craftsman and Colonial Revival styles, and, to a lesser extent, the other
revival styles of the 1920s. Homes range in size from one to two stories and are unified by common setbacks, the repetition
of gabled rooflines and front porches, the use of similar materials, and on some blocks, by the canopy of street trees.
Portions of South Birch Street and South Broadway, in particular, present intact Craftsman streetscapes. After replacement
of some of the earlier homes with high density apartments in the 1970s and 1980s, the City of Santa Ana recognized the
integrity of the Heninger Park neighborhood in 1986, by creating a Specific Development (SO) zoning district intended to
preserve its historic character, the second such SO in the City. (French Park was the first.)
The Harding House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its reflection
of the distinguishing characteristics of the early Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
"Landmark" for its "unique architectural significance" as a highly intact and picturesquely detailed example of the early
Craftsman style. The carved wood work, extensive use of leaded and stained glass, and unusual porch treatment are
significant in this regard. All original and restored exterior features of the Harding House are considered character-defining
and should be preserved, including, but not limited to: sheathing (clapboard, shingles) and materials (art stone); roof
configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and doors; porch configuration and detailing; and architectural details
(such as the bargeboards, braces, porch supports, and arched porch beams).

Exhibit B
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed, The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity,
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible, In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alternations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
