HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION ACTION Recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached agreement with Clark and Patricia Paddock, property owners, for the structure located at 1904 North Heliotrope Drive, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney at its April 1, 2010 meeting by a vote of 5:0 (Villasenor absent). DISCUSSION After the public hearing on April 1, 2010, the Historic Resources Commission reviewed the proposed Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract) and concluded that the resulting potential property tax savings would encourage the owner to reinvest the tax savings in the maintenance of their historic property, and would benefit both the owner and the community (Exhibit A). Additionally, the agreement prevents inappropriate alterations. 25C-1 HPP Agreement No. 2010-03 May 3, 2010 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the property tax revenue to the City by an estimated $249.77 to $1248.75 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

DISCUSSION Request of Applicant The applicants, Clark and Patricia Paddock, request the approval of Historic Property Preservation Agreement No. 2010-03 (Mills Act) between the property owner and the City of Santa Ana. Property Description The subject property includes an Italian Renaissance styled residence and garage located at 1904 North Heliotrope Drive and is within the Floral Park Neighborhood. Surrounding land uses are all residential (Exhibit 1). 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 to 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 25C-3 HPPA No. 2010-03 April 1, 2010 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 subject property was placed on the local register as the Elliott House and categorized as Landmark in February 2003 by the Historic Resources Commission (Exhibit 2). Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Exhibit 3). 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 under General Rule Section 15061(b)(3), and therefore, the recommended action is exempt from further review.

Not for Publication ®Unrestricted ? Prehistoric ®Historic ? Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Italian Renaissance (Lace Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) The late nineteenth and twentieth century revival of the Italian Renaissance style, also known as the Italian Renaissance Revival, was popular from the late nineteenth century until the 1930s. It was inspired by the designs of the palazzi of northern Italy and popularized by American architects McKim, Mead, and White. Utilized on public buildings and commercial buildings, the vocabulary of the style also influenced the appearance of ornate homes. Characteristic features associated with the residenria! usage of the style generally include masonry or stucco exteriors; hipped the roofs; pilasters, columns, quoins, and other classical details; and a balanced, often symmetrical appearance. Lower stories are generally emphasized through their proportions and fenestration. Arches are incorporated into the majority of the designs, often referring to Palladian precedents. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Elliott House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Italian Renaissance (Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) style. The house also contributes to the historic character of Fioral Park through its age, style, scale, and historic association with a member of the local professional community. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its unique architectural significance as an intact and graceful interpretation of the Italian Renaissance (Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) style.

Also address integrity) The Elliott Housa is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the comfortably sized and fashionably detailed revival styled homes that were built in Floral Park during the 1920s and 1930s. This ftalian Renaissance styled home was built for Dr. Arthur C. Elliott by developers Ball and Honer using in-house designers. The 193f cost of construction for the ten- room house was $20, 000, a significant sum at the Time. The Elliotts retained possession of the property until at least f 975, although the initial resident of the house, according to the f 933 city directory, was Mrs. Marie Turley (no occupation given). Dr. Elliott maintained an office in Anaheim in the late 1930s and early f 940s; he apparently moved info this house in the mid f 940s. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) 811.

Significance (continued): The Elliott House is located in Floral Paris, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by East Seventeenth Sfreet North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major potion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in i 922 {Talbert, pages 353-356). `Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land. And thaf month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana" (Orange Countv Register September 75, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Paris subdivision between Seventeenth Sfreet and Santiago Creek. "When built in the 1920s, the Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for abouf $45,000 each" (Orange Countv Register. September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the ? 935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the EI Toro Marine Bass during World War ll, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue. !n the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russel! (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War ll years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Paris tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2003) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, hisforically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Elliott !-louse qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Italian Renaissance (Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) style. Notable in this regard are the symmetrical massing, hipped roof configurafwn, lower story emphasis through greater height the use of stucco and tile, the incorporation of arches, and fhe classical detailing of columns and impost moldings. The house also contributes to the historic character of Floral Park Through its age, style, scale, and historic association with a member of the local professional community. Additronally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its unique architecfural significance as an intact and graceful inferpretation of the Italian Renaissance (Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) style. All original exterior features of the Elliott House are considered character-defining and should be preserved, including, but not limited to: materials and finishes; roof configuration, materials, and detailing; massing; windows and doors; terrace, bakonies and arcades; chimney,' architectural details such as arches, columns, capitals, impost moldings, wing wall, garage; and original landscape features such as the palm trees and concrete paths.

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 -9- 2SG-1 A MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 1904 North Heliotrope Drive Santa Ana, CA 92706 size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or environment. 10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired. - io - ~sc:_ n MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 1904 North Heliotrope Drive Santa Ana, CA 91706 Exhibit C (photographs attached) ~ ~ ~ v`~- r Y ~ ~ q '3- ~j r' `C'y ~ Front elevation ° ~ rt t,~ . . ® Rear elevation -11- MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 1904 North Heliotrope Drive Santa Ana, CA 92706 3 } T ~ r i • ~ f #tHRc~e}x.. < 3~a ~ , 7;~ r ~ ~ } 1'7 a' t cj . r' ~H' ~ Y' -.f~, a ~ South side elevation ~ ~ • r - ~ ; , i 3;~ t ~ ~ , ~S iii ~.p O ~ wl~Daal[~F! j~f.
