Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 15, 2024 – Special Meeting
Topic: HPPA No. 2024-06 – The Coselman-Motley House (424 South Broadway)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute
a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) with Kevin Kajikawa and Jonathan
Melendez for the property located at 424 South Broadway, subject to non-substantive
changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kevin Kajikawa and Jonathan Melendez are requesting approval to execute a Mills Act
Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 424 South
Broadway that is currently listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Coselman-Motley House, consists of an existing one-
and-a-half story Craftsman bungalow style residence that is approximately 2,561 square
feet in size on a 7,066-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 2). The Coselman-Motley House
was added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) in 2004,
categorized as “Key.”
Analysis of the Issues
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements, for eligible properties. The property is listed on the Register and categorized
as Key, making it eligible for a Mills Act Agreement. The agreement provides monetary
incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for
the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as
necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement

generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value,
resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include:
•Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
•Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
•Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
•Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
In 2004, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Coselman-Motley House on the
Register and within the “Key” category for its distinctive architectural style and quality as
an example of Craftsman styling. Character-defining exterior features of the Cooper
House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard)
and materials (art stone); roof configuration and detailing; massing and symmetry;
windows and doors; porch configuration and detailing; and architectural details (such as
the bargeboards, finials and pendants, purlins, transoms, and porch supports).
In 2024, a residential alteration application was approved by the Planning staff for the
following modifications addressing a notice of violation: rebuild front entrance and south
entrance porch steps in wood material, and rebuild six (6) new concrete piers to match
existing with four (4) at the primary entrance and two (2) at the south side entrance. The
application also included a new side yard fence at the north and south property lines. All
exterior modifications were consistent with the Secretary of Interior Standards for
Rehabilitation. It was noted during the 2024 site visit that all aforementioned items were
implemented to staff’s satisfaction at the subject property.
Additional future improvements proposed by the homeowners during the initial ten years
of the Mills Act Agreement include exterior painting, repair all original windows to be fully
functional, install front yard fence, landscape improvements, front door replacement with
period-appropriate style, rain gutter installation, siding and foundation repairs, seismic
retrofit, electrical and plumbing upgrades, reroof, and termite work. Specifically, some
windows are currently in poor condition and will be repaired with new window pull ropes
and window panes, as well as exterior wood rot repair and weatherproofing, to become
fully functional. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively and will
maintain the property’s character-defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for
this property.
As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that
a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will
include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.
Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including,
but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features,
landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. These improvements will be subject to review and
approval by staff. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City
enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024-18, will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,005.08 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

- 4 -
Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or o ther natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the

imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.

is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as ma y be
appropriate.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or
cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement or in City’s regulations governing historic properties are available to City
to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach
or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach
thereof or default hereunder.

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S1
Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted
Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL 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
form, 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 Coselman-Motley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a beautifully
detailed and highly intact bungalow with the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been
categorized as “Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of Craftsman styling (Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
This one and a half story Craftsman bungalow presents a symmetrical façade to the street. A side gable roof, whose front
(east) rake is longer than the rear, caps the dwelling and is accented by a centered, front-gabled dormer. Arrow-tipped
bargeboards, exposed rafters, carved beams, and pendants topped by finials constitute the roof and dormer detailing. The
dormer contains a large, tripartite window with a diamond-paned central transom, set below a lattice-work vent and a band of
purlins. Narrow clapboard sheathes the house. Spanning the lower story façade, the recessed porch is divided into three
bays by tapered posts resting on art stone pedestals. A jig-sawn railing connects the pedestals and encloses the porch
space. The entry, flanked by sidelights, occupies the narrower central bay, while large tripartite windows with elaborate
leaded glass transoms are located in the side bays. A one-story, shed-roofed projection is recessed on the south elevation
and contains a secondary entry. With the exception of a non-original but compatible picket fence that surrounds the property,
the house appears unaltered from the street.

The Coselman-Motley House is architecturally significant as a fine example of Craftsman styling that retains a very high
degree of integrity. According to previous research, it was constructed in 1911 and originally owned by Erastus and Mary
Coselman, who came to Santa Ana from Kansas to retire. The second owner, Dr. E. G. Motley, had acquired the house by
1926, when he applied for a permit to make alterations with an estimated value of $200. A surgeon, Dr. Motley had an office
in the Spurgeon Building. His son, a fire captain with the City of Santa Ana, inherited the house in 1975, and the family is still
in residence today (2004).

*B10. Significance (continued):
The Coselman-Motley 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 Walnut.
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 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 (SD) zoning district intended to
preserve its historic character, the second such SD in the City. (French Park was the first.)
The Coselman-Motley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a
beautifully detailed and highly intact bungalow with the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the
house has been categorized as “Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of
Craftsman styling. The roof detailing, porch treatment, and generous use of leaded glass are among the elements that
make this home noteworthy. Character-defining exterior features of the Coselman-Motley House that should be preserved
include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard) and materials (art stone); roof configuration and detailing; massing
and symmetry; windows and doors; porch configuration and detailing; and architectural details (such as the bargeboards,
finials and pendants, purlins, transoms, and porch supports).

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

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

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 15, 2024 – Special Meeting
Topic: HPPA No. 2024-02 – The Miller-Taylor House (2620 N. Flower Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute
a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) with Thomas M. Harris for the
property located at 2620 North Flower Street, subject to non-substantive changes
approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Thomas M. Harris is requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City
of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 2620 North Flower Street that is currently
listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Miller-Taylor House, consists of an existing one-story
residence that reflects the Craftsman style, and is approximately 1,414 square feet in size
on a 9,750-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 2). The Miller-Taylor House was added to the
Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) in 2007, categorized as “Key.”
Analysis of the Issues
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements, for eligible properties. The property is listed on the Register and categorized
as Key, making it eligible for a Mills Act Agreement. The agreement provides monetary
incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for
the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as
necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement
generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value,
resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include:

•Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
•Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
•Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
•Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
In 2007, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Miller-Taylor House on the
Register and within the “Key” category for its distinguishing characteristics of the
Craftsman style. Character-defining exterior features of the Miller-Taylor House that
should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (clapboard,
shingles); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and doors and their
surrounds where extant; [original] porch configuration and detailing, entry; and
architectural details such as beams, rafters and bargeboards with shaped tails, porch
posts, and vents.
Additional future improvements proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years
of the Mills Act Agreement include repaving the driveway, constructing a period-correct
two-car detached garage, and restoring the porch’s front (east) and south (side) facades
to original condition based on historic photographs. During staff’s site visit, the following
were noted and added to the Mills Act Agreement work plan: remove the south (side)
façade’s non-original stained glass window and replace with a period-correct window, and
inspect all original windows and framing to ensure they are in proper working condition
and repair/replace as needed. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done
sensitively and will maintain the property’s character-defining features as part of the Mills
Act Agreement for this property.
As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that
a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will
include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.
Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including,
but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features,
landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. These improvements will be subject to review and
approval by staff. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City
enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024-39, will be filed for this project.

not less than ten years.

Historic Resources Commission 46 7/15/2024

Santa Ana, CA 92706
- 4 -
Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, o r
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.

the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or
cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement or in City’s regulations governing historic properties are available to City
to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach
or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach
thereof or default hereunder.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE:Craftsman Bungalow
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/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 form, 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 (McAlester, 453-463).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION :
The Miller-Taylor House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key”
because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an examp le of the Craftsman aesthetic (Municipal Code, Section 30-
2.2).

Set slightly above street level on a property rimmed by a low concrete retaining wall, this one-story Craftsman bungalow is
screened from view by dense shrubbery. A cross-gabled roof of medium pitch caps the building. Rafters with shaped tails
are exposed in the eaves. Carved braces and extended bargeboards trim the gable ends. An extremely shallow, shed-roofed
dormer projects from the north half of the roof. Shingles face the gable ends, while narrow clapboard covers the b ody of the
house above a sill line. Tucked into the peaks of the gables, triangular vents are pierced by narrow slits accented by jigsawn
arrows. Nearly obscured by vegetation, the porch is sheltered beneath the front gable, which is supported by paired, battered
posts set on a brick porch railing. The front door features narrow vertical channels of beveled glass. Windows on the side
elevations appear to be a combination of one-over-one double-hung sash and casements; openings on the façade are hidden
by foliage. A shed-roofed projection on the north elevation may mark the location of a secondary entry. The building permit
record indicates that the house is substantially intact; the property is in fair condition.

The Miller-Taylor House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of a Craftsman residence and is
historically notable as one of a handful of pre World War II homes in the area. It was built in 1917, according to City of Santa
Ana records, making it the oldest known house in the immediate vicinity. City directories appear to confirm this date of
construction. Initially listed in 1918 as located on the west side of North Flower Street, three [houses] north of Santa Clara,
this was the home of Fred J. Miller, a baggageman with the Santa Fe railroad, and his wife Annie. In 1925, Fred Miller’s
occupation was listed as “rancher” and his address was 2610 North Flower. This number apparently changed in 1930 to 2620,
probably to accommodate the numbering of the houses built immediately to the south in the 1920s. After 1928, Mrs. Anna D.
Miller was the sole occupant listed in the directories.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of
Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection
as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods
developing around the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards
dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The Miller-Taylor House is located in north Santa Ana, in the Morrison/Eldridge Park neighborhood. An irregularly shaped
area straddling North Flower Street, Morrison/Eldridge Park is bounded by the Garden Grove (22) and the Santa Ana (5)
freeways on the north and east, Sharon Road and Memory Lane on the south, and North Bristol Street on the west. With the
primary exception of the 2600 block of North Flower Street, this area remained unsubdivided and presumably agricultural
through World War II. According to the city directories and early maps, North Flower ended at Seventeenth Street until
around 1915, when six homes were noted north of Seventeenth, including three north of Santiago Creek. By 1920, there
were nine homes, including one (2610, later numbered 2620), in what would become the Morrison/Eldridge Park
neighborhood. Construction of three additional homes on the 2600 block occurred between 1925 and 1930. Beginning with
a handful of homes constructed on newly laid out streets in the first few years of the 1950s, the area exploded in the mid
1950s with the building of tracts of homes in the California Ranch style. Home building in the neighborhood tapered off in the
1960s and ended around 1972.
The Miller-Taylor House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Typical Craftsman features illustrated by the
house include its cross-gabled roof configuration; decorative use of exposed structural and functional elements such as
beams, rafters, and vents; and incorporation of a deep front porch and a dormer into the design. Additionally, the house has
been categorized as “Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of the Craftsman
bungalow. Character-defining exterior features of the Miller-Taylor House that should be preserved include, but may not be
limited to, materials and finishes (clapboard, shingles); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and doors
and their surrounds where extant; porch configuration and detailing, entry; and architectural details such asbeams, rafters
and bargeboards with shaped tails, porch posts, and vents.

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

Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements, for eligible properties. The property is listed on the Register and categorized
as Landmark, making it eligible for a Mills Act Agreement. The agreement provides
monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in
exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state
of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the

agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed
value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits
include:
•Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
•Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
•Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
•Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
Prior to historic listing, in 1989 the subject historic building was relocated to the existing
parcel. That same year, a new two-car garage was permitted as well as a Site Plan
Review for renovation and a rear addition to the subject property. The Site Plan Review
project included extending the kitchen and bathroom, and adding a new laundry room at
the building’s rear, remodeling the second floor, and extending the second floor deck. It
was noted during the 2024 site visit that all aforementioned items were implemented at
the subject property.
In 2002, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Duggan House on the Register
and within the “Landmark” category for its distinguishing characteristics of the Queen
Anne (Late Victorian), Craftsman and Colonial Revival styles. Character-defining exterior
features of the Duggan House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited
to: All original and restored exterior features of the Duggan House, including materials
(wood) and finishes (siding); roof configuration and detailing; turret; bay and other
windows (including surrounds); front door; porch details; and architectural details such as
brackets, rafter tails, and columns.
Additional future improvements proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years
of the Mills Act Agreement include reroofing, removing the internal masonry fireplace and
chimney due to structural safety concerns and repairing the external wood chimney like-
for-like, repairing all windows and framing throughout as needed, repairing window
screens as needed, addressing termite damage, and repainting the exterior. During staff’s
site visit, the following were noted and added to the Mills Act Agreement work plan:
replace the north side door with period-appropriate door and hardware, replace exterior
lighting with period-appropriate lighting, replace plastic door screens with period-
appropriate wood screens, replace gutters with compatible material and style, repair
siding as needed and like-for-like, and replace the garage door with a period-appropriate
door. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively and will maintain
the property’s character-defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this
property.
As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that
a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will
include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.
Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including,

but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features,
landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. These improvements will be subject to review and
approval by staff. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City
enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024-40, will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,212.75 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

Historic Resources Commission 76 7/15/2024
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT
825 North Lacy Street
Santa Ana, CA 92701
- 4 -
Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner,
the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or
cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement or in City’s regulations governing historic properties are available to City
to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach
or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach
thereof or default hereunder.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mixed: Queen Anne (Late Victorian), Bungalow/Craftsman, Colonial Revival
The Queen Anne (Late Victorian) (also known as the Queen Anne Revival) dominated residential architectural design during the last
twenty years of the nineteenth century in the West, and was nearly as influential on early commercial buildings. Identifying features
include the front-facing gable roof; ornate decoration of wood or metal along the eave and in the gable end; avoidance of flat wall
surfaces through the use of applied ornamentation of wood or metal; and classical columns or pilasters. Multi-storied residential and
commercial examples often incorporated bay windows, sometimes topped with towers. The style borrowed heavily from late
Medieval models, with the addition of other regional interpretations. Some of the most well-developed examples can be found in
California and in the southern states (McAlester, 263-268).
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/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 form, 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.
The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876 Centennial
celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing upon Georgian,
Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually
symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side-gabled, hipped, or gambreled,
sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and
frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds
and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double-hung sash, with multiple lights
in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have
wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320-326).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
The most notable feature of this 1906 two-story house is the pentagonal turret with conical roof projecting from its upper
southwest corner. The house exhibits box-like massing with a steeply pitched, pyramidal hipped roof. Narrow clapboard
sheathes the walls and porch railings. Most windows are double-hung sash. The house shares characteristics of several
styles: Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival. The turret with boxed and bracketed eaves and the second story bay
window are suggestive of the Queen Anne style. Craftsman features include exposed rafter tails and a large tripartite window
on the first floor, north of the entrance. The window has a fixed center pane and sidelights topped by a multipane transom.
The front porch is recessed into the southwest corner of the building. Three columns with exaggerated entasis supporting the
porch roof are Colonial Revival in style. Closely spaced brackets line the frieze separating the first and second floors. An
oval window distinguishes a first floor cant bay on the south elevation. Another cant bay, with a squared bay above, is
located on the north elevation. The house was moved to the site in 1987 from the southeast corner of Sycamore and Pine
Streets and has been fully restored. The front door screen, pole lamp, and picket fence were added later.

The Duggan House is a characteristic example of the eclecticism popular In the early years of the twentieth century, combining
Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival stylistic elements. Although constructed elsewhere and moved to this site in
1987, the Duggan House is representative of the period, architecture, and historical associations that characterize French Park
and thus is also important as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. According to previous research, William and
Clara Duggan were the original owners. Mr. Duggan was in the insurance business and active in civic affairs. The Duggans
lived in the house for decades; William Duggan passed away in 1930 and his widow, Clara, remained in the house until her
death in 1947 (Marsh, 1998).

*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. In 1877, Spurgeon, along with James McFadden and James Fruit, formed the Western
Development Company with the intention of bringing the Southern Pacific Railroad from its then terminus in Anaheim into
Santa Ana. Thinking to capitalize on commercial growth around the railroad, the partners purchased 160 acres adjacent to
the eastern city boundary at French Street. Although they were successful in luring the Southern Pacific to a new depot on
Fruit Street in Santa Ana in 1878, the expected commercial development of “Santa Ana East” never materialized. Early
growth and development of the town continued to be centered further west around Fourth and Main Streets, with the result
that the legacy of Santa Ana East is an angled street plan whose intersection with the original city is marked by a small,
triangular parcel, developed in the 1890s as Flatiron Park, now known as French Park. Santa Ana continued to grow,
stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was
recognized as one of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of
Orange.
Beginning in the 1880s and continuing well into the twentieth century, the area around the park began to be developed with
many of the finest homes in Santa Ana. Examples of Victorian era, turn of the century, and Craftsman homes were built along
the tree-lined streets. By the 1920s, most streets in the neighborhood were fully developed, although a few revival styled
single family homes and duplexes were built during the 1920s, and a handful of apartments constructed in the 1930s. From
the nineteenth century onwards, residents were a “Who’s Who” of early Santa Ana, and included bankers, attorneys, doctors,
businessmen, ranchers, teachers and others active in the civic and social life of the city.
Once known as the “Nob Hill” of Santa Ana, French Park declined in the 1940s and 1950s as some homes were converted
into rooming houses and others were allowed to deteriorate. In the 1960s and 1970s some houses were demolished and the
properties redeveloped with multi-family housing. However, a grass roots preservation effort begun in the late 1970s led to
the establishment of a local historic district in 1984 and the listing of the neighborhood in the National Register of Historic
Places in 1999. One of the activities undertaken in support of the historic district has been the relocation of several historic
homes slated for demolition into French Park.
The Duggan House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic
District. It is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and is located within the boundaries of the
locally designated historic district. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1
as a representative example of the blending of architectural styles popular in the early years of the twentieth century.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Landmark” for its unique architectural significance. Characteristic Queen
Anne (Late Victorian) features include the five-sided turret and bay windows. Rafter tails and the tripartite window are
Craftsman in design. The trio of porch columns suggest the Colonial Revival style. All original and restored exterior features
of the Duggan House are character-defining and should be preserved, including: materials (wood) and finishes (siding); roof
configuration and detailing; turret; bay and other windows (including surrounds); front door; porch details; and architectural
details such as brackets, rafter tails, and columns.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.

significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 15, 2024 – Special Meeting
Topic: HRCA No. 2023-29, HRC No. 2024-03, HPPA No. 2024-05 – R.S. McGuire House
(2369 North Flower Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2023-29
and Historic Register Categorization No. 2024-03 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council
to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Paul Gulino and Julie Bidmead, subject
to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Paul Gulino and Julie Bidmead are requesting approval to designate an existing Art
Moderne style residence located at 2369 North Flower Street to the Santa Ana Register
of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City
of Santa Ana. The property qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of an Art Moderne Style house. It is
worthy of “Key” categorization because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality
reflective of the Art Moderne style, including its smooth stucco wall surface, asymmetrical
façade, and windows located on building corners, among other features.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the east side of North Flower Street in the Floral Park
neighborhood in Santa Ana. The site contains a 1,805-square-foot, Art Moderne style
residence and detached garage, on a 6,960-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).

In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,
designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site
having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails
applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible
for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first
criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana
Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa
Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 86 years old and is a sound example of period
architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The R.S. McGuire House is architecturally significant as an intact example of an Art
Moderne style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated August 22, 1938,
and indicates it was built as a single-family residence and garage for owner-contractor
Allison Honer for $5,500, who appears to have been affiliated with the property only during
the time of the initial building permit. The original architect is unknown. City directories
note that R.S. McGuire owned the property for at least 23 years, from 1939-1962. R.S.
(Mac) McGuire worked for heating equipment company O'Keefe and Merritt and later was
employed at Coffmans furniture-appliance store at 714 West 17th Street in Santa Ana
(Santa Ana Register, March 7, 1946; Santa Ana Register, March 30, 1950). From circa
1965-1979, Douglas Geraldine occupied the building. In 1980, J Darlingfriz and Doug Friz
are noted as building occupants. The 1985 Criss-Cross directories do not list the property
owner. From circa 1986 to 2021, David Aeppli owned the subject property. City directories
were not available from 1963-1964, 1966-1978, and 1984; directories from 1981-1983
and 1985 do not list the property owner or occupant. The present owners, Paul Gulino
and Julie Bidmead, purchased the property in 2021.
The R.S. McGuire House is a one story, single-family, Art Moderne style residence and
detached garage located on a small parcel in the Floral Park neighborhood. The
asymmetrical residence exhibits a T-shaped plan with two primary facades facing west
and south respectively. Its low-pitch hipped and gabled roof is clad in asphalt shingles
with minimal overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails. A rear addition that was added
to the east façade in 1991 has curved walls and is capped with a curved roofline in asphalt
shingles to match existing. The exterior of the house is clad in smooth stucco with minimal
texture throughout. The primary (west) façade features a stucco-clad chimney with the
upper portion clad in exposed brick. The chimney is flanked by two steel-frame, multi-
pane, combination fixed-and-casement corner windows that wrap around both the north
and south building corners. The primary façades feature two building projections that are

stepped back from the front of the building. Both projections contain similar steel-frame
windows that wrap around the corners. The main entrance, located on the primary (south)
façade, is accessible by two curved concrete steps. The entrance features a single, solid
door below a curved roof awning.
Additional fenestration on the south (primary) façade includes a single two-over-two
double-hung wood window. The side (north) façade contains one-over-one double-hung
wood windows. The rear (east) façade has single and double partially glazed pedestrian
doors with horizontal muntins dividing the doors into five lights. Additional fenestration at
the rear façade includes a single double-hung wood window, as well as a glass block
window with two steel-frame, multi-light fixed-and-casement windows located on the
curved building projection (east addition).
The detached garage, located southeast of the primary residence, contains a side-gabled
roof clad in asphalt shingles to match the residence. The paneled garage door at its
primary (west) façade faces a long, paved driveway leading to North Flower Street. A
single, solid pedestrian door is situated at the rear (east) façade.
Additional architectural features include a vent at the gable end of the primary (south)
façade, pronounced window sill trim throughout, smooth or curved building corners, and
an Art Modern style metal door knocker on the main entrance door. The property is
landscaped with a front lawn, small shrubs, and medium-sized trees.
Character-defining features of the R.S. McGuire House include, but may not be limited
to: T-shaped plan; asymmetrical primary façades at the west and south; low-pitch hipped
and gabled roof; minimal roof overhang and exposed rafter tails; smooth stucco siding
with minimal texture throughout; stucco-clad chimney with exposed brick near the top;
steel-frame multi-pane combination fixed-and-casement corner windows that wrap
around building corners; building projections that are stepped back from the front (west)
portion of the building; main entrance accessible by two curved concrete steps with a
single, solid door and Art Moderne style metal door knocker that is situated below a
curved roof awning; double-hung wood windows; pronounced window sill trim throughout;
vent at the gable end; smooth or curved building corners; detached garage; and front yard
lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs. The R.S. McGuire House
qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as
an intact example of an Art Moderne style home in Santa Ana. The recommended
categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective
of the Art Moderne style.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act

agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property
must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources
Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this
site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides
monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in
exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state
of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the
agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed
value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits
include:
•Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
•A mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
•Incentives for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
•Discouraging inappropriate alterations to the property
The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the
application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation
Agreement subject to a completion of future improvements as described in an attached
Work Plan.
Overall, future improvements (Work Plan) proposed by the homeowner during the initial
ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following: repair trim as needed. Staff
also proposes the following improvements: remove non-compatible gutters; replace rear
yard side door with period-appropriate door; inspect and repair all original wood and steel-
frame windows, window panes, and window trim as needed; and replace main entrance
doorknob and exterior light with period-appropriate doorknob and light. Staff will ensure
that the proposed work will be done sensitively and will maintain the property’s character-
defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property.
As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that
a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will
include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.
Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including,
but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features,
landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. Upon consideration of the application, it is
recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement to
enable the Mills Act.

4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested
which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth
in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the
Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.

referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner,
the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Art Moderne
The Moderne style encompassed the Modernistic, Streamline Moderne, and Art Moderne variants. An evolution of the Art
Deco style, the Streamline Moderne flourished during the 1930s and lingered through the decade following World War II
in a simplified version. In contrast to the verticality of earlier Art Deco designs, the Streamline Moderne and Art Moderne
substyles emphasized the horizontal, through bands of windows, use of decorative raised or incised horizontal lines,
railings, flat canopies with banded fascia, and narrow coping at the roofline. Other characteristics include smooth wall
surfaces, usually of stucco; metal detailing; glass block or metal multi-light casement windows; rounded corners, porthole
windows, and asymmetry. Incorporation of aerodynamic, transportation related imagery, especially nautical, is a signature
of the style. In common with the Streamline Moderne, Art Moderne buildings also tended to be horizontal in emphasis, but
tended to be more clean-lined and rectilinear in their massing and detailing than their streamlined counterparts. Art
Moderne designs can be recognized by their flat roofs, smooth stucco exteriors, and use of metal casement windows that
often meet at the corners of the building.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The R.S. McGuire House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
intact example of an Art Moderne style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a
distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Art Moderne style. (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

The R.S. McGuire House is a one story, single-family, Art Moderne style residence and detached garage located on a small
parcel in the Floral Park neighborhood (Figure 1). The asymmetrical residence exhibits a T-shaped plan with two primary
facades facing west and south respectively. Its low-pitch hipped and gabled roof is clad in asphalt shingles with minimal
overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails. A rear addition that was added to the east façade in 1991 has curved walls and
is capped with a curved roofline in asphalt shingles to match existing. The exterior of the house is clad in smooth stucco with
minimal texture throughout. The primary (west) façade features a stucco-clad chimney with the upper portion clad in exposed
brick. The chimney is flanked by two steel-frame, multi-pane, combination fixed-and-casement corner windows that wrap
around both the north and south building corners (Figure 2). The primary façades feature two building projections that are
stepped back from the front of the building. Both projections contain similar steel-frame windows that wrap around the
corners (Figure 3). The main entrance, located on the primary (south) façade, is accessible by two curved concrete steps.
The entrance features a single, solid door below a curved roof awning (Figure 4).

The R.S. McGuire House is architecturally significant as an intact example of an Art Moderne style house in Santa Ana. The
original building permit is dated August 22, 1938, and indicates it was built as a single-family residence and garage for owner-
contractor Allison Honer for $5,500, who appears to have been affiliated with the property only during the time of the intial
building permit. The original architect is unknown. City directories note that R.S. McGuire owned the property for at least 23
years, from 1939-1962. R.S. (Mac) McGuire worked for heating equipment company O'Keefe and Merritt and later was
employed at Coffmans furniture-appliance store at 714 West 17th Street in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Register, March 7, 1946;
Santa Ana Register, March 30, 1950). From circa 1965-1979, Douglas Geraldine occupied the building. In 1980, J Darlingfriz
and Doug Friz are noted as building occupants. The 1985 Criss-Cross directories do not list the property owner. From circa
1986 to 2021, David Aeppli owned the subject property. City directories were not available from 1963-1964, 1966-1978, and
1984; directories from 1981-1983 and 1985 do not list the property owner or occupant. The present owners, Paul Gulino and
Julie Bidmead, purchased the property in 2021.

Additional fenestration on the south (primary) façade includes a single two-over-two double-hung wood window. The side
(north) façade contains one-over-one double-hung wood windows. The rear (east) façade has single and double partially
glazed pedestrian doors with horizontal muntins dividing the doors into five lights. Additional fenestration at the rear façade
includes a single double-hung wood window, as well as a glass block window with two steel-frame, multi-light fixed-and-
casement windows located on the curved building projection (east addition) (Figures 5 and 6).
The detached garage, located southeast of the primary residence, contains a side-gabled roof clad in asphalt shingles to
match the residence (Figure 7). The paneled garage door at its primary (west) façade faces a long, paved driveway leading
to North Flower Street. A single, solid pedestrian door is situated at the rear (east) façade.
Additional architectural features include a vent at the gable end of the primary (south) façade, pronounced window sill trim
throughout, smooth or curved building corners, and an Art Modern style metal door knocker on the main entrance door. The
property is landscaped with a front lawn, small shrubs, and medium-sized trees.
*B10. Significance (continued):
The R.S. McGuire House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West
Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of orange, avocado, and walnut trees and
widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981),
credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls,
New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). “Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land.
And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana” (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel
chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. “When built in the 1920s, the
Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each” (Orange County
Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and
1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival.
The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa
Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War II, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the
neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral
Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa
Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell’s own large, Colonial
Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In 1937, Roy Rodney Russell, joined his father’s firm and by 1945 it was renamed as
Roy Russell and Son. In the early post World War II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller,
single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low,
horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2023) Floral Park maintains its identity as the
premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The R.S. McGuire House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of an Art Moderne style home in Santa Ana. Located in Floral Park, the house cost $5,500 to build in 1938. The
recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Art Moderne
style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the R.S. McGuire House include, but may
not be limited to: T-shaped plan; asymmetrical primary façades at the west and south; low-pitch hipped and gabled roof;
minimal roof overhang and exposed rafter tails; smooth stucco siding with minimal texture throughout; stucco-clad chimney
with exposed brick near the top; steel-frame multi-pane combination fixed-and-casement corner windows that wrap around
building corners; building projections that are stepped back from the front (west) portion of the building; main entrance
accessible by two curved concrete steps with a single, solid door and Art Moderne style metal door knocker that is situated
below a curved roof awning; double-hung wood windows; pronounced window sill trim throughout; vent at the gable end;
smooth or curved building corners; detached garage; and front yard lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs.

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

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

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 15, 2024 – Special Meeting
Topic: HEMA No. 2024-03 – The St. Thomas-Hamilton House (1002 N. French Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving a Certificate of Appropriateness for Historic Exterior
Modification Application No. 2024-03 as conditioned.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Carlos Bustamante, with Urban Living Properties, LLC (property owner and applicant), is
requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA) No. 2024-03 for
the property addressed as 1002, 1004, and 1004 ½ N. French Street; and 313, 313 ½ and
315-317 E. Tenth Street (collectively 1002 N. French Street). Specifically, the request is
to allow exterior modifications consisting of a porch rehabilitation to remove a non-original
porch enclosure; restoring existing exterior doors, mouldings, porch posts, and other
character-defining features (e.g., brackets, balustrades, frieze, spandrels, and skirting);
removal of non-original wood railings on the concrete stoops to be replaced with metal
railings and concrete pier walls; and installation of metal guardrails/handrails to provide
access to a two-story addition. The property is known as the St. Thomas-Hamilton House,
and is a contributor to the National Register-listed French Park Historic District.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located at the northwest corner of French and Tenth Street in the
French Park National Register Historic District. The General Plan land use designation
for the site is Low Density Residential (LR-7) and the zoning district is Specific
Development Plan No. 19 (SD-19), also known as the Historic French Park District. The
site is currently developed with seven-unit, multi-family complex on a 9,200-square-foot
residential lot. The oldest portion of the development is a 1898 Colonial revival style,
single-story multi-family residence known historically as the St. Thomas-Hamilton House.
A two-story addition is erected along the west side of the home, designed in a simple mid-
century vernacular style with three, one-car garages on the ground floor. The St. Thomas-
Hamilton House is a contributor to the National Register-listed French Park Historic

District. The historic district is also listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.
However, the property is not individually listed in the California Register of Historical
Resources or in the local Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
Historic Property Description
The St. Thomas-Hamilton House is a single-story, multi-family residence, located on a
moderately sized parcel and designed in a Colonial Revival style, with a simple mid-
century style two-story addition, added in the 1940s. Narrow clapboard siding covers the
upper two-thirds of the single-story house, while wide shiplap siding covers the lower
third. A hipped roof, which extends downward to cover the wrap-around porch, features
hipped dormers facing south and east. Enclosed eaves and a moulding-trimmed frieze
accent the roofline. The original wrap-around porch includes turned posts, carved
brackets, and a delicate balustrade. Two-by-fours were added to act as an anchor for
screen material. It was noted that the ball-and-spindle fretwork was removed from the
porch and that the southern portion of the porch was enclosed several years prior to the
1999 national register nomination form (Exhibit 4).
The curved base of the porch features rows of decorative squares with a hole in the center
and in the corners of each square. A door has been installed in the place of the original
window in the center of the north half of the front facade. On the Tenth Street side, there
are two trios of windows. One of the center windows has been converted to a doorway
and a stairway with wrought iron rail added. Concrete stairs, wrought iron railings, and
metal awnings have been added to the front. A two-story, five-unit apartment addition
clad in stucco, was added to the back (west elevation) in 1946. Wooden stairs at each
end lead to the second floor units. There are several alterations to this house, including
the additional stairs, wrought iron rails, metal awnings, doorway changes, and the addition
of the units in the back. However, the single-story portion retains much of its original
character when viewed from the front. Character-defining features of the single-story
portion of the St. Thomas-Hamilton House that should be preserved include, but may not
be limited to: hipped roof, enclosed eaves and a moulding-trimmed frieze, narrow
clapboard siding, wide shiplap siding, original exterior doors, mouldings, porch posts,
brackets, wood balustrades, frieze spindles, spandrels, and skirting.
Project Background
In August 2022, the applicant submitted plans and a neighborhood review application
(NR-2022-14) to the Planning Division. At the time, the applicant proposed to restore the
wrap-around porch enclosure to original condition, proposed to replace certain character-
defining features (e.g., wood rail, below the frieze; new wood spindles; wood baluster)
with in-kind materials, and proposed to replace the existing mismatched railing systems,
with one single wrought iron railing design. The French Park Architectural Review
Committee (FPARC) provided their initial comments on August 12, 2022, which can be
found as part of Exhibit 8. The FPARC largely supported the removal of the existing porch

enclosure; supported the addition of a new horizontal wood rails to match the existing
wood rails; supported new wood spindles to match the existing wood spindles like-for-
like; and supported the installation of a new, all-wood, balusters to match the existing
wood balusters. However, the FPARC strongly opposed the proposed metal railings, and
instead recommended replacement with wood railings.
Following the original FPARC letter, the applicant met with members of the FPARC on
two separate occasions to discuss the request for wood railings. In addition, the applicant
hired the services of a registered architect, William Beaubeaux, NCARB, with
BeauArchitecture, Inc., to provide an evaluation on the enclosed porch and railings. Mr.
Beaubeaux provided the analysis to the Planning Division on May 25, 2023 (Exhibit 9).
Subsequently, in March 2024, the applicant resubmitted plans and the neighborhood
review to the Planning Division. The FPARC provided their second round of comments
on March 17, 2024 (Exhibit 8). Similar to their original comments, the FPARC opposed
the use of metal railing, and instead requested that the applicant use wood, citing that
wood would be compatible and would reflect the building's architectural style. Moreover,
the FPARC requested that the existing wood staircase railing leading to the rear second-
story unit be retained for consistency purposes.
To further address the FPARC concerns, the applicant hired Robert Imboden, AIA, with
JANUS to provide a historic assessment of the proposed work and to provide further
recommendations on how the project could best meet the French Park Design Guidelines
(“Guidelines”) and the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitating Historic
Properties (“SOIS”). Mr. Imboden holds undergraduate degrees in both Interior Design
and Art History, as well as a Master’s Degree of Architecture from California State
Polytechnic University, Pomona. As a licensed architect, Mr. Imboden meets the
Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications (36CFR Part 61) in the areas of
Architecture, Historic Architecture, History and Architectural History. The applicant
elected to proceed with the requested HEMA after receiving the proposed memorandum,
which asserts that the proposed scope of work was within the Guidelines and the SOIS
(Exhibit 7).
Project Description
As part of the overall scope of work, the applicant proposes to retain and restore three (3)
existing wood doors and mouldings, one along the south elevation and two along the east
elevation, to period-correct style. These doors are identified as doors D1-D3 on Exhibit 6.
As part of the work, the existing metal door screens will be removed. As noted in the
historic assessment, the conditions of the existing doors have been assessed, and where
possible, the existing historic fabric will be retained and repaired. In instances where
deterioration is too severe for repair, the new elements will match the existing in material
and design.

Along the southern and eastern elevation, the work also includes rehabilitation of the
existing porch by removing a non-original porch enclosure and restoring it to match
previously existing. The work to the porch would include the following:
•Wrap-around columns and porch elements, to be restored, and the elements too
deteriorated to be repaired will be repaired using in-kind materials and match existing
in material, dimension, and detail;
•The frieze spindles are to be restored, and elements too deteriorated to be repaired
will be repaired using in-kind materials and match existing in material, dimension, and
detail;
•Any missing or damaged baluster spindles to be restored/fabricated using in-kind
materials and to match existing in material, dimension, and detail.
•New wood balustrade rails, to be fabricated, using in-kind materials and match existing
in material, dimension, and detail;
•Wrap-around block fascia at porch deck, to be restored using in-kind materials
matching existing; and
•Repair and restore exterior fascia using in-kind materials and match existing in
material, dimension, and detail.
The proposed work would also includes the removal of all non-original wood and/or
wrought iron railings, including the porch stoop railings along the south and east elevation,
and the existing stair guard railings for the two-story addition, along the south and north
elevation. The concrete stoops leading to the original porch are proposed to remain, and
would be enhanced with concrete pier walls and a simple metal guardrails. Two additional
concrete stoops, one each along the south and east elevation, are also proposed to
remain and would include a new simple metal stair guard railing, with the baluster guard
railing not wider than four-inches wide. The existing stairs leading to the second story
addition, as well as the existing second story walkways, would also include the new simple
metal stair guard railings. All new metal stair guardrails are proposed to be finished in a
darker tone to reduce from view, and proposed to be simple in form and styling (e.g., no
knuckles or twists).
Lastly, the applicant proposes to restore the basement vent screens to match existing
block fascia at wrap-around porch, and to install new exterior sconce lighting in period
correct style. As proposed, all exterior repairs will be done using in-kind materials. Exterior
siding too deteriorated to repair will be replaced with custom-mill siding to match original
in-kind.
Analysis of the Issues
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards
The proposed project, as conditioned, will follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards
(“SOIS”) for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving,

Rehabilitating, Restoring, & Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Kay D. Weeks and Anne
E. Grimmer, revised 2017). The proposed exterior modifications, as conditioned, would
be considered a rehabilitation project and as such be evaluated against ten criteria. Staff
has reviewed the proposed modifications in comparison to the SOIS. The following is a
review of the findings as they pertain to the applicable criteria:
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires
minimal changes to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial
relationships.
As conditioned, the project complies with Standard No. 1. The property currently
maintains its historic use as a multi-family residence. The use is not proposed to
change. Although the applicant proposed exterior modifications to remove an
existing porch enclosure, the porch enclosure is known to be a later modification
and was not completed using the same level of craftsmanship as the home. The
enclosure does not represent a particular style and does not appear to have taken
on any significance in its own right over time. The SOIS support the contemporary
use of the property while preserving the functional and decorative features of the
historic porch. Repairs will be made to features, which remain serviceable, while
those too deteriorated will be replaced with in-kind replacements based upon
sound evidence discovered onsite.
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.
As conditioned, the project complies with Standard No. 2. The historic character of
the subject property will be retained and preserved. The proposed exterior
alterations, as conditioned, shall remove as little historic material at the primary
facades. The majority of the alterations are located on south and east elevation,
and involve the removal on a non-original porch enclosure. The porch enclosure
is known to be a later modification and was not completed using the same level of
craftsmanship as the original home. The enclosure does not represent a particular
style and does not appear to have taken on any significance in its own right over
time. Moreover, character-defining features (e.g., existing porch posts, brackets,
balustrade, frieze, spandrels, and skirting) will all be retained and restored to
period-correct style, as part of the overall porch rehabilitation.
The overall work also includes the replacement of existing (non-historic) wooden
railings. While the existing porch stoop railings were replaced using turned wood
balusters, they are not of the same design as the extant historic examples. The
large amount of non-historic wooden railings and their prominence within the
overall character of the property creates a false sense of history which diminishes
the historic character of the property. The repetitious use of wooden balusters at

both the historic and later entrances also lacks order, and thus competes with the
authentic historic elements. Therefore, their removal would be in keeping with the
SOIS and would not affect the historic character of the subject property.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use.
Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding
conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be
undertaken.
The project complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed changes will not create
a false sense of historical development. The applicant proposes an overall
hierarchical approach to the exterior modifications, to bring more prominence to
the original entry porch, while reducing the impacts of the later modifications (i.e.
subsequent entry doors and stoops, staircase to upper level). Specifically, the
applicant is proposing to retain the existing non-historic concrete stoops, both at
the porch and at the entrances subsequently added at the south and east
elevations. The existing concrete porch stoops are presumed to be non-original to
the house and are most likely later modifications. Although the original porch steps
were most likely constructed of wood, the existing concrete stoops are non-
descript in character, and do not significantly diminish the overall historic character
of the property. The applicant would install concrete pier walls at porch stairs,
which are compatible with the historic porch elements, but that are also
differentiated to not create a false sense of history. Moreover, the applicant
proposes to install metal handrails and guardrails, simple in form and styling (i.e.,
no knuckles or twists) and finished in a dark color so that they recede from view,
at all secondary entrances, as well as staircases to upper level. These new
handrails and guardrails will read as contemporary, not conjectural, given the
lesser amount of space between each guardrail. Lastly, all character-defining
features (e.g., existing porch posts, brackets, balustrade, frieze, spandrels, and
skirting) will all be retained and restored to period-correct style, which will blend in
with the building and not be considered a conjectural alteration.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right
will be retained and preserved.
Standard 4 does not apply, as the project will not remove any significant features
that were added over time.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved.
As conditioned, the project complies with Standard No. 5. Distinctive materials,
features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that
characterize the property will be preserved. The majority of the project does not

propose to remove character-defining features or materials/finishes along any
façade. Although two of the three doors along the south and east elevation are not
original (doors D2 and D3, as labeled on sheet ID-1 in Exhibit 6), they are
presumed to have been relocated from another location in the house when later
additions occurred, considering that they both match the one original primary entry
door (door D1). The historic assessment further notes that the additional entrance
openings, occurred prior to the historic designation of the neighborhood, and that
they are now essential to the contemporary use of the property. Therefore, the
applicant proposes to retain and restore the doors to a period-correct style, in
keeping with this standard.
As previously mentioned, the overall work also includes the replacement of existing
(non-historic) wooden railings. These porch stoop railings were replaced using
turned wood balusters, and are not of the same design as the extant historic
examples, creating a false sense of history, diminishing the overall historic
character of the property. These railings are not an example of a distinctive
features, finishes, or construction techniques, or examples of craftsmanship that
characterize a property. Therefore, removal of these railings would not be in
conflict with this standard.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the
severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new
feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials.
Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and
physical evidence.
The project complies with Standard No. 6. All character-defining features (e.g.,
existing porch posts, brackets, balustrade, frieze, spandrels, and skirting) will be
retained and restored to period-correct style. The porch enclosure only partially
removed sections of the original frieze and spandrels. Moreover, the existing
turned porch posts, bases, capitals and brackets appear to be original the home,
as well as the existing turned balusters. Lastly, the applicant proposes to restore
the basement vent screens to match existing block fascia at wrap-around porch.
All exterior repairs will be done using in-kind materials and exterior siding too
deteriorated to repair will be replaced with custom-mill siding to match original in-
kind. Therefore, replacement of missing features will be substantiated by
documentary and physical evidence, in compliance with this standard.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the
gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will
not be used.
Standard 7 does not apply, as the project will not involve chemical or physical
treatments on the building and will be in full compliance with the Standards.

8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources
must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
Standard 8 does not apply, as there are no known archeological resources onsite.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy
historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property.
The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the
historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the
integrity of the property and its environment.
The project, as conditioned, complies with Standard No. 9. The proposed building
alterations will not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial relationships that
characterize the property at the building’s primary (south and east) facades.
Rather, the proposed alterations will restore the porch to the original conditions by
removing a non-original porch enclosure and restoring all existing character-
defining features (e.g., existing porch posts, brackets, balustrade, frieze,
spandrels, and skirting) to period-correct style. The porch enclosure is known to
be a later modification, does not represent a particular style, and does not appear
to have taken on any significance in its own right over time.
As part of the overall work, the applicant would install concrete pier walls at the
porch stairs, which are compatible with the historic porch elements, but that are
also differentiated to not create a false sense of history. The work also includes
the replacement of non-historic wooden railings. While the existing porch stoop
railings were replaced using turned wood balusters, they are not of the same
design as the extant historic examples. Moreover, the applicant proposes to install
metal handrails and guardrails, simple in form and styling (i.e., no knuckles or
twists) and finished in a dark color so that they recede from view, at all secondary
entrances, as well as staircases to upper level. The overall simplistic design along
with use of distinct materials will ensure that all alterations will be compatible with
the historic building. Specifically, the concrete piers and metal railings will be
differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials,
features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the
property and its environment.
10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such
a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the
historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
The project complies with Standard No. 10. The proposed project, as conditioned,
is considered generally reversible, as it does not remove essential aspects of the
building’s form and materials.

French Park Architectural Design Guidelines (“Guidelines”)
As previously stated in the Project Background section of this report, the applicant
submitted two cycles of the neighborhood review application. As part of the neighborhood
review, the French Park Architectural Review Committee (FPARC) was tasked with
determining whether the proposed work is consistent with the Guidelines. As outlined in
Exhibit 11 of this report, the FPARC largely supports the proposed work. This includes
the retention and restoration of three exterior doors along the south and eastern elevation,
and the porch restoration, including the removal of the porch enclosure at the southern
façade, and the retention/restoration and or replacement of character-defining elements
(e.g., porch posts, brackets, balustrade, frieze, spandrels, skirting, and stoops). However,
the FPARC opposes the use of metal railings for both the porch stoops and the staircases
leading to the two-story addition.
Given the feedback provided by the FPARC, the applicant elected to hire two qualified
individuals to provide a historic assessment of the proposed work, both who summarized
that the proposed work was consistent with both Guidelines and the SOIS. Therefore, the
applicant elected to proceed with the requested HEMA without FPARC support of the
proposed metal railings. Due to the discord between the FPARC and the applicant,
planning staff provides a more in-depth comparative analysis between the Guidelines and
the SOIS, shown in Exhibit 11.
Based on this analysis, staff has determined that the entirety of the proposed scope of
work, including the metal railings, is in conformance with both the Guidelines and the
SOIS. Specifically, staff determined that the proposed treatment for the exterior doors is in
conformance with the Guidelines, as they will be retained and restored to a period-correct
style. Moreover, the proposed treatments for the removal of the porch enclosure and the
restoration of the character-defining features is in conformance with the Guidelines, as
the guidelines recommend and prioritize identifying, retaining, repairing, and preservation
of character-defining features. Lastly, the proposed concrete pier walls and the metal
handrails/guardrails will be in general conformance with the Guidelines, since they’ve
been determined to be compatible with the historic porch elements, but differentiated in
a way to not create a false sense of history.
Moreover, the proposed metal handrails and guardrails will be designed in a simple form
and styling and finished in a dark color so that they recede from view. The overall
simplistic design along with use of distinct materials will ensure that all alterations will be
compatible with the historic building. However, to ensure the final design is aesthetically
harmonious and of a high-quality design, a condition of approval has been included as
part of this project, should the Historic Resources Commission seek a metal handrail
design that incorporates additional embellishments and/or ornamentation, which can be
deemed as appropriate and compatible with the architectural design. This
recommendation requires that the property owner coordinate with staff on the final design
of the metal railings prior to permit issuance.

Conclusion
Staff has determined that the project, as conditioned, complies with both The Secretary of
the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and the French Park Architectural Guidelines.
Specifically, the analysis indicates that the proposed exterior alterations and staircase
rehabilitation will be compatible and consistent with the existing architectural elements that
reflect the original Colonial Revival style architecture while being mindful not to disturb the
majority of the historic materials that characterize the property at the primary facades. By
removing non-historic alterations (e.g., porch enclosure and wood railings), restoring
character-defining features, and by proposing simple metal handrails and guardrails that
meet current building code, the property will maintain its historic and character-defining
features.
The role of the Historic Resources Commission is to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness
upon finding that the proposed modifications do not substantially change the character and
integrity of the historic properties per Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, meet the
Secretary of Interior’s Standards per CEQA and the City’s Certified Local Government
agreement with the State of California. Staff finds that the historic exterior modification
application meets the necessary criteria to be awarded a Certificate of Appropriateness and
should be approved. It is also recommended that staff approve the exact materials and
finishes to be used prior to installation to ensure quality and compatibility.
Public Notification
The project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was
published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property
owners within 500 feet of the project site. In addition, staff contacted the French Park
Neighborhood Association to ensure they were aware of the project and public hearing.
At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been
received from any members of the public.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is
exempt from further review under Section 15331, Class 31, as this action is designed in
a manner consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards. Based on this analysis, a
Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024-54 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

2024-03 (APN: 398-027-15)
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby
finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. Carlos Bustamante, with Urban Living Properties, LLC (property owner and
applicant) is requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification
Application No. 2024-03 to allow exterior modifications to the property at
1002, 1004, and 1004 ½ N. French Street; and 313, 313 ½ and 315-317 E.
Tenth Street (collectively 1002 N. French Street), historically known as the
St. Thomas-Hamilton House.
B. The legal owner of the property is Urban Living Properties, LLC, a California
limited liability company.
C. The St. Thomas-Hamilton House is a contributor to the French Park
National Register Historic District. The French Park National Register
Historic District is also listed in the California Register of Historical
Resources.
D. The St. Thomas-Hamilton House was originally built in 1898, in the Colonial
Revival style. It is a single-story, multi-family residence, located on a
moderately sized parcel, with a simple mid-century style two-story addition,
added in the 1940s. Character-defining features of the single-story portion
of the St. Thomas-Hamilton House that should be preserved include, but
may not be limited to: hipped roof, enclosed eaves and a moulding-trimmed
frieze, narrow clapboard siding, wide shiplap siding, original exterior doors,
mouldings, porch posts, brackets, wood balustrad es, frieze spindles,
spandrels, and skirting.
E. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, no exterior physical
modifications, other than those identified by the Historic Resources
Commission for administrative approval by city staff, shall be permitted with
respect to a historic structure until the Historic Resources Commission
approves such request at a duly noticed public hearing and issues a

certificate of appropriateness. The Historic Resources Commission shall
issue the certificate of appropriateness upon finding that the proposed
modification(s) does not substantially change the character and integrity of
the historic property.
F. The applicant proposes to retain and restore three (3) existing wood doors
and mouldings, one along the south elevation and two along the east
elevation, to period-correct style. As part of the work, the existing metal door
screens will be removed. The conditions of the existing doors have been
assessed, and where possible, the existing historic fabric will be retained
and repaired. In instances where deterioration is too severe for repair, the
new elements will match the existing in material and design.
Along the southern and eastern elevation, the work also includes
rehabilitation of the existing porch by removing a non -original porch
enclosure and restoring it to match previously existing. The work to the
porch would include the following:
• Wrap-around columns and porch elements, to be restored, and the
elements too deteriorated to be repaired will be repaired using in -
kind materials and match existing in material, dimension, and detail;
• The frieze spindles are to be restored, and elements too deteriorated
to be repaired will be repaired using in-kind materials and match
existing in material, dimension, and detail;
• Any missing or damaged baluster spindles to be restored/fabricated
using in-kind materials and to match existing in material, dimension,
and detail.
• New wood balustrade rails, to be fabricated, using in-kind materials
and match existing in material, dimension, and detail;
• Wrap-around block fascia at porch deck, to be restored using in-kind
materials matching existing; and
• Repair and restore exterior fascia using in-kind materials and match
existing in material, dimension, and detail.
The proposed work would also includes the removal of all non -original wood
and/or wrought iron railings, including the porch stoop railings along the
south and east elevation, and the existing stair guard railings for the two -
story addition, along the south and north elevation. The concrete stoops
leading to the original porch are proposed to remain, and would be
enhanced with concrete pier walls and a simple metal guardrails. Two
additional concrete stoops, one each along the south and east elevation,
are also proposed to remain and would include a new simple metal stair
guard railing, with the baluster guard railing not wider than four-inches wide.
The existing stairs leading to the second story addition, as well as the
existing second story walkways, would also include the new simple metal
stair guard railings. All new metal stair guardrails are proposed to be

finished in a darker tone to reduce from view, and proposed to be simple in
form and styling (e.g., no knuckles or twists).
Lastly, the applicant proposes to restore the basement vent screens to
match existing block fascia at wrap-around porch, and to install new exterior
sconce lighting in period correct style. As proposed, all exterior repairs will
be done using in-kind materials. Exterior siding too deteriorated to repair
will be replaced with custom-mill siding to match original in-kind.
G. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30 -6, the Historic
Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on July 15, 2024,
for the request for exterior modifications to the St. Thomas-Hamilton House.
H. Since the property is deemed a historic structure, all exterior modifications
are required to meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
1. The following Secretary of Interior’s Standards are applicable:
i. The project complies with Standard No. 1. As conditioned, the
project complies with Standard No. 1. The property currently
maintains its historic use as a multi-family residence. The use
is not proposed to change. Although the app licant proposed
exterior modifications to remove an existing porch enclosure,
the porch enclosure is known to be a later modification and
was not completed using the same level of craftsmanship as
the home. The enclosure does not represent a particular style
and does not appear to have taken on any significance in its
own right over time. The SOIS support the contemporary use
of the property while preserving the functional and decorative
features of the historic porch. Repairs will be made to
features, which remain serviceable, while those too
deteriorated will be replaced with in-kind replacements based
upon sound evidence discovered onsite.
ii. The project complies with Standard No. 2. As conditioned, the
project complies with Standard No. 2. The historic character
of the subject property will be retained and preserved. The
proposed exterior alterations, as conditioned, shall remove as
little historic material at the primary facades. The majority of
the alterations are located on south and east elevation, and
involve the removal on a non-original porch enclosure. The
porch enclosure is known to be a later modification and was
not completed using the same level of craftsmanship as the
original home. The enclosure does not represent a particular
style and does not appear to have taken on any significance
in its own right over time. Moreover, character-defining
features (e.g., existing porch posts, brackets, balustrade,
frieze, spandrels, and skirting) will all be retained and restored
Historic Resources Commission 151 7/15/2024
FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383
Resolution No. 2024-03
Page 4 of 12
to period-correct style, as part of the overall porch
rehabilitation.
The overall work also includes the replacement of existing
(non-historic) wooden railings. While the existing porch stoop
railings were replaced using turned wood balusters, they are
not of the same design as the extant historic examples. The
large amount of non-historic wooden railings and their
prominence within the overall character of the property
creates a false sense of history which diminishes the historic
character of the property. The repetitious use of wo oden
balusters at both the historic and later entrances also lacks
order, and thus competes with the authentic historic elements.
Therefore, their removal would be in keeping with the SOIS
and would not affect the historic character of the subject
property.
iii. The project complies with Standard No. 3. The project
complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed changes will not
create a false sense of historical development. The applicant
proposes an overall hierarchical approach to the exterior
modifications, to bring more prominence to the original entry
porch, while reducing the impacts of the later modifications
(i.e. subsequent entry doors and stoops, staircase to upper
level). Specifically, the applicant is proposing to retain the
existing non-historic concrete stoops, both at the porch and at
the entrances subsequently added at the south and east
elevations. The existing concrete porch stoops are presumed
to be non-original to the house and are most likely later
modifications. Although the original porch steps were most
likely constructed of wood, the existing concrete stoops are
non-descript in character, and do not significantly diminish the
overall historic character of the property. The applicant would
install concrete pier walls at porch stairs, which are compatible
with the historic porch elements, but that are also
differentiated to not create a false sense of history. Moreover,
the applicant proposes to install metal handrails and
guardrails, simple in form and styling (i.e., no knuckles or
twists) and finished in a dark color so that they recede from
view, at all secondary entrances, as well as staircases to
upper level. These new handrails and guardrails will read as
contemporary, not conjectural, given the lesser amount of
space between each guardrail. Lastly, all character-defining
features (e.g., existing porch posts, brackets, balustrade,
frieze, spandrels, and skirting) will all be retained and restored
Historic Resources Commission 152 7/15/2024

GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383
Resolution No. 2024-03
Page 5 of 12
to period-correct style, which will blend in with the building and
not be considered a conjectural alteration.
iv. The project complies with Standard No. 5. As conditioned, the
project complies with Standard No. 5. Distinctive materials,
features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize the property will be
preserved. The majority of the project does not propose to
remove character-defining features or materials/finishes
along any façade. Although two of the three doors along the
south and east elevation are not original, they are presumed
to have been relocated from another location in the house
when later additions occurred, considering that they both
match the one original primary entry door. The historic
assessment further notes that the additional entrance
openings, occurred prior to the historic designatio n of the
neighborhood, and that they are now essential to the
contemporary use of the property. Therefore, the applicant
proposes to retain and restore the doors to a period -correct
style, in keeping with this standard.
As previously mentioned, the overall work also includes the
replacement of existing (non-historic) wooden railings. These
porch stoop railings were replaced using turned wood
balusters, and are not of the same design as the extant
historic examples, creating a false sense of history,
diminishing the overall historic character of the property.
These railings are not an example of a distinctive features,
finishes, or construction techniques, or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property. Therefore,
removal of these railings would not be in conflict with this
standard.
v. The project complies with Standard No. 6. All character-
defining features (e.g., existing porch posts, brackets,
balustrade, frieze, spandrels, and skirting) will be retained and
restored to period-correct style. The porch enclosure only
partially removed sections of the original frieze and spandrels.
Moreover, the existing turned porch posts, bases, capitals and
brackets appear to be original the home, as well as the
existing turned balusters. Lastly, the applicant p roposes to
restore the basement vent screens to match existing block
fascia at wrap-around porch. All exterior repairs will be done
using in-kind materials and exterior siding too deteriorated to
repair will be replaced with custom-mill siding to match original
in-kind. Therefore, replacement of missing features will be

substantiated by documentary and physical evidence, in
compliance with this standard.
vi. The project complies with Standard No. 9. The proposed
building alterations will not destroy historic materials, features,
or spatial relationships that characterize the property at the
building’s primary (south and east) facades. Rather, the
proposed alterations will restore the porch to the original
conditions by removing a non-original porch enclosure and
restoring all existing character-defining features (e.g., existing
porch posts, brackets, balustrade, frieze, spandrels, and
skirting) to period-correct style. The porch enclosure is known
to be a later modification, does not represent a particular style,
and does not appear to have taken on any significance in its
own right over time.
As part of the overall work, the applicant would install concrete
pier walls at the porch stairs, which are compatible with the
historic porch elements, but that are also differentiated to not
create a false sense of history. The work also includes the
replacement of non-historic wooden railings. While the
existing porch stoop railings were replaced using turned wood
balusters, they are not of the same design as the extant
historic examples. Moreover, the applicant proposes to install
metal handrails and guardrails, simple in form and styling (i.e.,
no knuckles or twists) and finished in a dark color so that they
recede from view, at all secondary entrances, as well as
staircases to upper level. The overall simplistic design along
with use of distinct materials will ensure that all alterations will
be compatible with the historic building. Specifically, the
concrete piers and metal railings will be differentiated from the
old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features,
size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity
of the property and its environment.
vii. The project complies with Standard No. 10. The proposed
project, as conditioned, is considered generally reversible, as
it does not remove essential aspects of the building’s form and
materials.
viii. Standard 4 and Standards 6-8 are not applicable. No features
of this description would be affected by this Project.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15331, Class 31, as
this action is designed in a manner consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards.
Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024 -54 will
be filed for this project.
