EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ashil Pansuria with SYD Group, representing SA Hotel One, LP (“Applicant and Property Owner”), requests approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA) No. 2026-01 to allow exterior modifications to the MacFarlane House located at 2115 North Main Street. The MacFarlane House is individually listed as No. 122 on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) and is categorized as Contributive. The proposed project builds upon prior approvals under HEMA No. 2017-01, which authorized rehabilitation of the MacFarlane House and its adaptive reuse as part of a commercial development. It also implements mitigation measures identified in the 2017 Historical Resources Evaluation Report (HRER), including preparation of a Secretary of the Interior’s Standards compliance assessment. The current request refines and modifies the previously approved scope of work to further restore historic features, remove non-historic alterations, and introduce limited new improvements to support continued adaptive reuse. Specifically, the request is to allow exterior modifications including: (1) restoration of original design elements that have been altered or removed; (2) removal of non-historic features, including portions of the enclosed porch, exterior stair elements, and an upper- story door; (3) installation of a multi-light wood entrance door and a double-hung wood window beneath the front porch; (4) infilling the upper-story door with a new stud wall and wood shingle cladding to match the existing siding; and (5) construction of an accessible ramp and landing at the north end of the porch, installation of a new double-hung window, addition of wood-framed French doors with an awning, and a new exterior staircase at the rear (east) elevation (“Project”). Interior modifications to accommodate a café and office use are proposed separately and are not subject to Historic Resources Commission review.         HEMA No. 2026-01 – The MacFarlane House (2115 North Main Street) May 7, 2026 Page 2 5 7 2 4 Staff has evaluated the proposed modifications for consistency with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. In addition, a Standards Compliance Assessment prepared by Architectural Resources Group (ARG) concludes that the Project complies with the Standards and would not result in a substantial adverse change to the historical resource under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on this analysis, staff finds that, as conditioned, the Project will preserve the building’s historic character while allowing for a compatible adaptive reuse. Therefore, staff recommends that the Historic Resources Commission approve HEMA No. 2026-01 and issue a Certificate of Appropriateness. DISCUSSION Background The subject property at 2115 North Main Street (MacFarlane House) is individually listed as No. 122 on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) and is categorized as a Contributive resource. In 2017, the Historic Resources Commission approved Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA) No. 2017-01, which authorized the rehabilitation of the MacFarlane House as part of the Hampton Inn hotel development project. The approved scope of work included exterior modifications to accommodate adaptive reuse of the structure as an eating establishment, removal of non-historic features, installation of new openings for accessibility, and construction of site improvements such as an outdoor dining deck and associated circulation features. As part of the 2017 approvals, a Historical Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) prepared by Daly & Associates evaluated the subject property and surrounding resources, and identified mitigation measures to ensure that project impacts to historical resources would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. One such measure required preparation of a Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOIS) compliance assessment to evaluate the rehabilitation of the MacFarlane House. In response, Architectural Resources Group (ARG) prepared a Standards Compliance Assessment dated March 16, 2026 (Exhibit 5), to evaluate the current rehabilitation proposal. The assessment confirms that the MacFarlane House retains sufficient integrity to convey its historic significance and concludes that the proposed rehabilitation, including removal of non-historic alterations, restoration of historic features, and introduction of compatible new improvements, complies with the SOIS for Rehabilitation and would not result in a substantial adverse change to the historical resource under CEQA. The current HEMA No. 2026-01 request refines the previously approved scope of work to further restore character-defining features, modify certain design elements, and         HEMA No. 2026-01 – The MacFarlane House (2115 North Main Street) May 7, 2026 Page 3 5 7 2 4 incorporate additional accessibility and operational improvements. The proposed modifications are limited to the MacFarlane House and do not alter the previously approved overall site development program. Project Location and Site Description The subject property is located on the east side of North Main Street, just south of Interstate 5, in the Santa Ana Triangle neighborhood. The General Plan land use designation for the site is District Center – Medium Low (DC-1.5) and the zoning district is Community Commercial Museum District (C1-MD). The site is currently developed with a one-and-a-half-story 3,035-square-foot Craftsman building, known as the MacFarlane House, that has been vacant since 2017. The MacFarlane House was constructed circa 1905-1910 as a single-family residence and was later converted into a duplex in 1940, followed by commercial use. The building is wood-framed construction and exhibits characteristics of early 20th Century Craftsman- style architecture, including a cross-gable roof with exposed rafter tails, knee braces, and carved bargeboards; wood shingles and clapboard siding; and predominately wood, double-hung windows. A horizontal wood band separates the first and second story cladding along the north and south elevations. The building has undergone alterations over time, including a 1946 rear (east) addition, partial enclosure of the front (west) porch, removal of a chimney with associated infill, and the addition of an exterior stair and upper-story entrance at the north elevation, as well as limited window infill at secondary elevations. These modifications are generally associated with the building’s conversion to multi-family and commercial use and are not considered character-defining. Despite these changes, the MacFarlane House retains the majority of its character-defining features and continues to convey its historic appearance and significance. The building maintains integrity of location, design, materials, and workmanship sufficient to represent early 20th century residential development along North Main Street. The MacFarlane House is significant for its association with early 20th century development patterns in northern Santa Ana, when this portion of Main Street was developed with single-family residences prior to the post-World War II commercial conversion. The property is one of the few remaining buildings from this period and was found eligible for embodying the “distinguishing characteristics of an architectural building period associated with a specific period of development.” Character-defining features of the building that should be preserved include: Largely rectangular plan and massing; One-and-a-half-story height;         HEMA No. 2026-01 – The MacFarlane House (2115 North Main Street) May 7, 2026 Page 4 5 7 2 4 Cross-gable roof with flared (at the west end) eaves featuring exposed rafter tails, knee braces, brackets, and carved bargeboards; Prominent front-facing gable dormer at the west façade; Wood shingle and wood clapboard siding separated by wood band at the north and south elevations; Full-width west entrance porch (partial porch enclosure at the north end is not character-defining); Double-hung wood windows with simple wood surrounds (some windows have multi-light upper sashes); Multi-light paired casement windows at the west façade dormer; and Canted bay window at the south elevation. Project Description The Applicant requests approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA) No. 2026-01 to rehabilitate the exterior of the MacFarlane House to accommodate a café and office use as part of a broader request to re-entitle the previously approved Hampton Inn hotel development project. The MacFarlane House is intended to function as an accessory commercial component to the hotel project, consistent with prior approvals for adaptive reuse of the structure. The proposed improvements build upon the scope of work previously approved under HEMA No. 2017-01 and include refinements to the design, restoration approach, and architectural detailing. The Project includes modifications to the west, north, and east elevations, as described below. No changes are proposed to the south elevation. In addition to the exterior modification, the Applicant is also proposing interior modifications, including the remove of interior partition walls and installing new finishes, fixtures, and equipment, for the proposed café and office use that are being review by staff separately. West Elevation A non-historic enclosed part of the main entrance porch would be removed and the porch restored to its original full-with configuration. A new multi-light wood entrance door and double-hung window would be reinstated underneath the front porch, where the front door and a window existed historically. In addition, an accessible ramp and landing would be added, connecting the north end of the porch and providing access to the main entrance in order to comply with current ADA regulations. North Elevation A non-historic exterior stair landing and upper-story door would be removed and the door opening infilled with a new stud wall and wood shingle cladding to match the surrounding historic cladding. The wood infill that is present where the original chimney was removed         HEMA No. 2026-01 – The MacFarlane House (2115 North Main Street) May 7, 2026 Page 5 5 7 2 4 would be replaced with new wood clapboard siding that better matches the surrounding historic siding. A window opening that has been infilled at the west end of the elevation would be restored and a new double-hung window added. One double-hung wood window near the center of the elevation would be removed and a new larger opening would be created to accommodate three fully glazed wood French doors that would be sheltered by an awning. The proposed French doors would open onto a new raised outdoor seating deck that would be enclosed by a wood wall along Main Street for privacy. East Elevation A new exterior staircase is proposed to be added to the non-historic rear addition. The stair is located on a secondary elevation and is designed to be compatible with the overall building while remaining differentiated from the historic structure. As proposed, the stair would not impact primary character-defining features and could be removed in the future without impairing the building’s integrity and it is required in order to comply with current egress building code regulations for emergencies. Analysis Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOIS): The proposed Project, as conditioned, will follow the 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, is considered a rehabilitation project and as such be evaluated against ten criteria. Staff has reviewed the proposed modifications in comparison to the SOIS. The following is a review of the findings as they pertain to the applicable criteria: 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal changes to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. The Project complies with Standard No. 1. because the building would be converted for café and office use and its rehabilitation for these new uses would require minimal change to the building’s distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. 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.         HEMA No. 2026-01 – The MacFarlane House (2115 North Main Street) May 7, 2026 Page 6 5 7 2 4 The Project complies with Standard No. 2. The proposed work primarily involves the removal or alteration of non-historic elements, including the upper-story entrance, exterior stair landing, and wood infill at the north elevation. The Project also includes limited modifications to a secondary elevation, including the removal of one existing window and creation of a new door opening. This elevation has previously undergone alterations to its original fenestration pattern, and the window proposed for removal is one of several double-hung wood windows and is not singularly distinctive. The majority of the building’s character-defining materials and features, including its overall massing, roof form, wood siding, architectural detailing, and primary façade elements, would be retained. In addition, the Project includes restoration of historic features that had previously been altered or lost, including the full-width front porch configuration and original window openings at the west and north elevations. As such, the Project would retain and preserve the historic character of the MacFarlane House. 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 Project does not introduce conjectural features or elements from other historic properties. New improvements, including the installation of wood-framed French doors at the north elevation, construction of an outdoor seating area, addition of an accessible ramp, and a new exterior stair at the rear addition, are contemporary in design and are located primarily on secondary elevations. These elements are compatible in scale, materials, and proportions, while remaining differentiated from the historic structure. As proposed, the Project would not create a false sense of historical development and would allow the building to continue to be understood as a product of its original period of construction with compatible modern interventions. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. Standard No. 4 does not apply to the Project’s impact on the subject building. The Project would result in the removal of a porch enclosure at the west façade and a stair landing, upper story entrance, and window infill at the north elevation. The changes occurred decades after the building’s construction and have not acquired historic significance in their own right.         HEMA No. 2026-01 – The MacFarlane House (2115 North Main Street) May 7, 2026 Page 7 5 7 2 4 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved. The Project complies with Standard No. 5. As described in the discussion of Standard No. 2, the Project would not impact the building’s distinctive materials, features, finishes, construction techniques, or craftsmanship. While one window would be removed and a new door opening added, these changes are proposed at a secondary (north) elevation, and the window is not particularly distinctive. Thus, the historic character of the building would be preserved. 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. The Project proposes to repair, rather than replace, deteriorated character-defining features and materials, including wood siding, windows, knee braces, brackets, the horizontal wood band between stories, and porch elements, to the extent feasible. Where deterioration is too severe to allow for repair, features or materials would be replaced in kind to match the existing in design, material, and appearance. This approach ensures the retention of historic materials and craftsmanship while allowing for necessary rehabilitation. 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. The Project complies with Standard No. 7. Any chemical or physical treatments required during the building’s rehabilitation would be undertaken using the gentlest means possible so as to minimize damage to the historic fabric. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. Standard No. 8 does not apply with regard to the Project’s impact on the subject building, as the building’s rehabilitation does not include any ground-disturbing activities.         HEMA No. 2026-01 – The MacFarlane House (2115 North Main Street) May 7, 2026 Page 8 5 7 2 4 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. The Project complies with Standard No. 9. As described under Standard No. 2, the exterior alterations of the Project are largely limited to previously altered features such as the removal of the porch enclosure at the west façade and the removal of the upper-story entrance, stair landing, and window and chimney infill at the north elevation. While one original window would be removed and replaced with a group of French doors at the north elevation, this elevation is secondary and its fenestration has already been altered and the wood double-hung window is not singularly distinctive. Thus, the Project would not destroy any historic materials, features, or spatial relationships that characterize the property. 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. If the new accessible entrance ramp, outdoor deck, wall enclosing the deck, or the exterior stair were removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the MacFarlane House and its environment would be unimpaired. Conclusion Staff has determined that the Project, as conditioned, complies with The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Specifically, the analysis indicates that the proposed improvements would not detract from the historic integrity of MacFarlane House. The role of the Historic Resources Commission is to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness upon finding that the proposed improvements do not substantially change the character and integrity of the historic properties per Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6 and 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.         HEMA No. 2026-01 – The MacFarlane House (2115 North Main Street) May 7, 2026 Page 9 5 7 2 4 Public Notification Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations.

The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Ashil Pansuria with SYD Group, representing SA Hotel One, LP (“Applicant and Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA) No. 2026-01 to allow exterior modifications to the MacFarlane House located at 2115 North Main Street. B. Specifically, the request is to allow exterior modifications including: (1) restoration of original design elements that have been altered or removed; (2) removal of non-historic features, including portions of the enclosed porch, exterior stair elements, and an upper-story door; (3) installation of a multi-light wood entrance door and a double-hung wood window beneath the front porch; (4) infilling the upper-story door with a new stud wall and wood shingle cladding to match the existing siding; and (5) construction of an accessible ramp and landing at the north end of the porch, installation of a new double-hung window, addition of wood-framed French doors with an awning, and a new exterior staircase at the rear (east) elevation (“Project”). C. The legal owner of the property is SA Hotel One, LP, a California limited partnership, as shown on Exhibit A. D. The MacFarlane House is listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties and categorized as “contributive.” Therefore, the property meets the definition of “historic property” specified in Section 30-1.5 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), which includes any property designated on the federal, state, or local registers. Because the property is a designated historic property, the Project is subject to the requirements specified in Section 30-6 of the SAMC, specifically, that the proposed exterior         FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Resolution No. 2026-XXX Page 2 of 12 modifications are subject to review and approval by the Historic Resources Commission. E.The MacFarlane House was constructed circa 1905-1910 as a single-family residence and was later converted into a duplex in 1940, followed by commercial use. The building is wood-framed construction and exhibits characteristics of early 20th Century Craftsman-style architecture, including a cross-gable roof with exposed rafter tails, knee braces, and carved bargeboards; wood shingles and clapboard siding; and predominately wood, double-hung windows. A horizontal wood band separates the first and second story cladding along the north and south elevations. The building has undergone alterations over time, including a 1946 rear (east) addition, partial enclosure of the front (west) porch, removal of a chimney with associated infill, and the addition of an exterior stair and upper-story entrance at the north elevation, as well as limited window infill at secondary elevations. These modifications are generally associated with the building’s conversion to multi-family and commercial use and are not considered character-defining. Despite these changes, the MacFarlane House retains the majority of its character-defining features and continues to convey its historic appearance and significance. The building maintains integrity of location, design, materials, and workmanship sufficient to represent early 20th century residential development along North Main Street. The MacFarlane House is significant for its association with early 20th century development patterns in northern Santa Ana, when this portion of Main Street was developed with single-family residences prior to the post World War II commercial conversion. The property is one of the few remaining buildings from this period and was found eligible for embodying the “distinguishing characteristics of an architectural building period associated with a specific period of development.” Character defining features of the building that should be preserved include: (1) largely rectangular plan and massing; (2) one-and-a-half-story height; (3) cross-gable roof with flared (at the west end) eaves featuring exposed rafter tails, knee braces, brackets, and carved bargeboards; (4) prominent front-facing gable dormer at the west façade; (5) wood shingle and wood clapboard siding separated by wood band at the north and south elevations; (6) full-width west entrance porch (partial porch enclosure at the north end is not character-defining); (7) double-hung wood windows with simple wood surrounds (some windows have multi-light upper sashes); (8) multi-light windows at the west façade dormer; and (9)         FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Resolution No. 2026-XXX Page 3 of 12 canted bay window at the south elevation. F.Pursuant to Section 30-6 of the SAMC, 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 modifications do not substantially change the character and integrity of the historic property. G.The Applicant is seeking approval HEMA No. 2026-01 to rehabilitate the exterior of the MacFarlane House in order to accommodate a new café and office use. As proposed, the Project includes modifications to the west, north, and east elevations. West Elevation: A non-historic enclosed part of the main entrance porch would be removed and the porch restored to its original full-with configuration. A new multi-light wood entrance door and double-hung window would be reinstated underneath the front porch, where the front door and a window existed historically. In addition, an accessible ramp and landing would be added, connecting the north end of the porch and providing access to the main entrance in order to comply with current ADA regulations. North Elevation: A non-historic exterior stair landing and upper-story door would be removed and the door opening infilled with a new stud wall and wood shingle cladding to match the surrounding historic cladding. The wood infill that is present where the original chimney was removed would be replaced with new wood clapboard siding that better matches the surrounding historic siding. A window opening that has been infilled at the west end of the elevation would be restored and a new double-hung window added. One double-hung wood window near the center of the elevation would be removed and a new larger opening would be created to accommodate three fully glazed wood French doors that would be sheltered by an awning. The proposed French doors would open onto a new raised outdoor seating deck that would be enclosed by a wood wall along Main Street for privacy. East Elevation: A new exterior staircase is proposed to be added to the non-historic rear addition. The stair is located on a secondary elevation         FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Resolution No. 2026-XXX Page 4 of 12 and is designed to be compatible with the overall building while remaining differentiated from the historic structure. As proposed, the stair would not impact primary character-defining features and could be removed in the future without impairing the building’s integrity and it is required in order to comply with egress building code regulations for emergencies. H.On May 7, 2026, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on HEMA No. 2026-01. I.Since the property is deemed a historic structure, all exterior modifications are required to meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. 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.

Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE: 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.         Page 2 of 4 s:\planning\docs\historic_templates\word_templates_04-22-03\Main N 2115-2117 (MacFarlane House) 5/5/03 CONSTRUCTION HISTORY: (Construction data, alterations, and date of alterations) September 20, 1940.

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and boundaries.) This cross-gabled Craftsman bungalow is one and a half stories in height and covered in narrow lap siding. Square butt shingles face a front gable. Braces with decoratively rounded ends are placed singly and in pairs in the eaves. Rafter tails and bargeboards also feature rounded ends. The side gable extends over a front porch that spans the façade. Posts covered in siding support the overhang. The north bay of the porch has been enclosed. Centered above the porch and below the front gable, the second story windows consist of three sixteen-over-one double-hung sash recessed beneath a corbeled beam and flanked by double casement windows. A similar mix of window types characterizes the north and south elevations. Alterations to the building include the glass enclosure of half of the porch, construction of a staircase and a second entry on the north elevation, and an addition in the rear of the house. HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS: A construction date for this Craftsman home could not be confirmed; based on style, it appears to date from circa 1910. Since 1940 or earlier, the property has been associated with the MacFarlane family. The MacFarlane Electric Company, which has maintained offices in the building at least from 1960, is a local company of long standing.

Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative townsite on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. Early growth and development was stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and 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. Santa Ana continued to grow steadily, surviving an economic downturn in the 1890s and gaining momentum in the first decade of the twentieth century. The older neighborhoods closest to the downtown commercial district and to the churches, clubs, and institutions began to be filled up and homebuilders looked elsewhere for land. This trend outward from the City’s historic core was symbolized by the construction of Santa Ana High School on Main Street at Tenth Street in 1900 (demolished in the 1940s to make way for the new Buffum’s Department Store). The northern portion of Main Street was primarily improved with single-family homes and retained this character, for the most part, through the 1920s. The MacFarlane House is representative of this era of development, and is one of the few houses remaining from the period when the northern portion of Main Street was largely residential in use. It is significant architecturally, as a characteristic example of the Craftsman style that was popular during the first two decades of the century. Character-defining exterior features of the MacFarlane House which should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: roof configuration and elements, such as the gables, braces, and bargeboards; original exterior materials where extant; original open porch configuration and roof supports; and original windows and doors, including surrounds. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: This resource is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. It is significant under Criterion 1 in that it embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural building period associated with a specific period of development. The MacFarlane House has been categorized as “Contributive” because, as an example of the Craftsman style, the building “contributes to the overall character and history” of Santa Ana, “is a good example of period architecture,” and “has not been substantially altered” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Daly & Associates, 2017. The property at 2115 North Main Street was evaluated in October 2001 by Architectural Historian Leslie Heumann, of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Ms. Heumann determined that the house was… significant…it embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural building period associated with a specific period of development. The MacFarlane House has been categorized as ‘Contributive’ because, as an example of the Craftsman style, the building ‘contributes to the overall character and history’ of Santa Ana, ‘is a good example of period architecture’, and ‘has not been substantially altered’ [from its original design]. The MacFarlane House, at 2115-2117 North Main Street, is listed as property #122 of the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, and is considered a “Contributive” property in the City of Santa Ana. Since the time when Ms. Heumann prepared her evaluation of the property at 2115-2117 North Main Street in 2001, there has been a tremendous amount of archival information now made available for the research of historical properties, including records from the Orange County Archives, and those available on the Internet for researching individuals through genealogical websites. With the assistance of the archivist at the Orange County Archives, and going through many City Directories, and U.S. Census records, information was found regarding the original owners of the property at 2115-2117 North Main Street. Daniel Thomas Remsberg, and his wife Catherine Eve (née Zimmerman), were living in Middleton District, Frederick County, Maryland, in 1860, with their eight children. Catherine would have two additional babies in 1861 and 1864, enlarging the family to ten children. Daniel Remsberg was a wool cloth manufacturer, and according to the U.S. Census of 1850 and 1860, his personal wealth was sufficient for him to afford a live-in servant to help Catherine with the house and children. The War Between the States would prove to be a boon to manufacturers such as Remsberg, due to the need for thousands of uniforms and other wool clothing for the soldiers of the Union Army. According to the 1860 Census, we know that three of Daniels sons, Harmon C., Ezra M., and Charles P., worked with their father in the clothing manufacturing business in the 1860s. In 1870, Daniel and Catherine still had all the children, except the oldest, living at home. The older children had been educated, and all the boys had professions, or worked with their father in the factory. Daniel passed away in 1875, and by 1880, Catherine and her seven youngest children were living at 253 Center Street in Springfield, Ohio. Catherine’s youngest child, Albert Lincoln, succumbed to diabetes in Ohio in 1880. Catherine may have moved to Springfield, Ohio, to live near her third oldest child, Charles Phillip Remsberg and his wife Susan Matilda, who were living at 327 North Fountain Avenue in 1880. Charles had established his own clothing manufacturing and retail business in Springfield, Ohio, and was successful enough to declare himself retired at the age of 53 in 1900. That same year, Catherine was now living with only her two daughters, Amanda L. and Geneva L., at the house on Center Street, and the sons had made other living arrangements. It may have been because of his being retired and of sufficient wealth, that Charles P. Remsberg initiated that all the Remsbergs, then living in Ohio, move to Santa Ana in the early 1900s. Charles P., his wife and son, his mother Catherine, his two spinster sisters Amanda L. and Geneva L., and two brothers, Oliver F. and Elton E. and their families, all made the move to California. By 1905, Catherine, Amanda, and Geneva were living at 2115 North Main Street (2055 North Main Street prior to 1930). Amanda’s brother Oliver F. and his family lived at 2035 North Main Street, Charles P., his wife and son Frank C. were at 1727 North Bush Street (#35 City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties), and Elton E. and his wife Charity lived at 1901 North Main Street. Sadly, Catherine passed away in 1906, Geneva died in 1908, Charles P. died in 1915, and Amanda lived in the house at 2115 North Main Street until she passed away in 1916. (continued on next page)         State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #: 30-161826 UPDATE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 2 of 2 *Resource Name: 2115-2117 North Main Street, Santa Ana, CA *Recorded by: Pamela Daly, M.S.H.P. *Date: October 24, 2017  Continuation Update DPR 523L (1/95) *Required information Continued: Elton and Charity Remsberg inherited Amanda’s house, and sold the property in 1919 to John C. Schmidt and his wife Elsie H. Schmidt. John Schmidt was a feed and flour salesman, and his wife Elsie would open the Green Gables Frock Shop on the first floor of the house in 1929. Turning the first floor of the house into a retail clothing store could be the reason for the unusual fenestration that was used to enclose the front porch of the house. The front porch could have been used as a display window for dresses to be seen by passing pedestrians and streetcar passengers. The Schmidts sold the property to Ivon MacFarlane in 1940. The MacFarlanes enlarged the house on the rear (east) elevation, as well as adding two exterior staircases for access to the second floor, in 1947. MacFarlane Electric was established at this property, and two unattached business-related buildings were added to the property in 1945 and 1956. The building at 2115-2117 North Main Street was designed to be a single-family residential dwelling. It has been most recently used for office purposes. The subject property is listed as property #122, the MacFarlane House in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, and is considered a “Contributive” property in the City of Santa Ana. This property continues to meet the criteria, and levels of integrity, to be considered a historical resource in the City of Santa Ana, and the State of California. Due to the amount of new information that has been found regarding the history of the occupants of the house at 2115-2117 North Main Street, especially about the residents living in the house immediately after its construction and during its period of significance, it is recommended that the property be renamed to the “Amanda Remsberg House”. Amanda Remsberg was the last of the three Remsberg women who lived in the house, surviving her mother and sister, until she passed away in 1916. This name would differentiate this house from her brother C.P. Remsberg’s House at 1727 North Bush Street (#35 Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties) and yet acknowledge the move to Santa Ana in the early 1900s by Catherine Remsberg and so many of her children, to live out their final years in the Golden State. Catherine Remsberg and the five children, spouses, and their children, which came to California in the early 1900s, are all buried in either Fairhaven Memorial Cemetery in Santa Ana, or Santa Ana Cemetery.         THE MACFARLANE HOUSE SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA MARCH 16, 2026 [CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SUBMITTAL] SHEET TITLE ISSUANCE PROJ.

The Project proposes the rehabilitation of the residential building at 2115-2117 N. Main Street, Santa Ana for café and office use. The building is listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties as a Contributive resource (No. 122). Given its listing in the Santa Ana Register, the building is considered a historical resource for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This Standards Compliance Assessment was prepared to meet the mitigation measure (MM4) stipulated in the “Historical Resources Evaluation Report for the Hampton Inn – Santa Ana Project” (Daly & Associates, 2017), which was prepared for the previously approved Certificate of Appropriateness for Historic Exterior Modification Application No. 2017-01. ARG’s assessment is limited to the evaluation of the MacFarlane House’s rehabilitation and does not re-evaluate impacts of the proposed six-story hotel development and associated site improvements to the north and east of the MacFarlane House, which were approved under Application No. 2017-01. Methodology Preparation of this Standards Compliance Assessment involved the following tasks related to research, documentation, and analysis: · Reviewed the MacFarlane House Certificate of Appropriateness Drawings package, prepared by ARG and dated March 16, 2026;         · Consulted the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Weeks and Grimmer, 1995; revised 2017). This assessment was prepared by Evanne St. Charles, Associate Principal, with oversight by Katie Horak, Principal. Ms. Horak and Ms. St. Charles meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards, 36 CFR Part 61, in the discipline of Architectural History.1 Physical Description The MacFarlane House is located at 2115-2117 N. Main Street, near the northern boundary of the City of Santa Ana. It is sited on the east side of Main Street, just south of Interstate 5. Surrounding development along Main Street primarily comprises low-scale commercial and institutional buildings, including the Bowers Museum, located across the street from the subject building. Directly north of the building is an open lot overgrown with weeds and a large, paved surface parking lot. To the south is an asphalt-paved driveway and parking area; a large concrete pad and accessible parking stalls are located directly east of the building. The topography of the area is flat, and streets generally adhere to a rectilinear grid pattern. The subject property is developed with a one-and-a-half-story Craftsman building constructed ca. 1905. Originally built as a single-family residence, the building was converted into a duplex in 1940 and later used for commercial purposes.2 The building is generally rectangular in plan and of wood-frame construction. It is sheltered by a cross-gable roof covered in asphalt composition shingles and featuring open eaves with exposed rafter tails, knee braces, and carved bargeboards. The roof eave that extends over the west façade entrance porch is flared. Exterior walls are clad in wood shingles at the upper story and narrow wood clapboard at the first story. A wood band runs between stories at the north and south elevations and separates the clapboard and shingle cladding. Windows are primarily wood and double-hung. An addition, built in 1946,3 is attached to the rear (east) elevation of the building. 1 National Park Service, “Professional Qualifications Standards,” accessed January 2023, https://www.nps.gov/articles/sec-standards-prof-quals.htm. 2 “S.A. Firm Plans New Building,” The Register (Santa Ana, CA), April 24, 1940. 3 “Permits Issued for $20,595 in Building,” The Register (Santa Ana, CA), March 6, 1946; Leslie J. Heumann, Science Applications International Corporation, “MacFarlane House,” Santa Ana Intensive Survey Update, October 7, 2001.         The building’s primary (west) façade is set back from the sidewalk along Main Street. A concrete walkway provides access to the west façade from the south. The façade is characterized by a full- width concrete slab porch sheltered by the main roof, which is supported by wood clapboard- clad pillars with decoratively carved brackets. The north half of the porch is enclosed with non- original windows and a pair of non-original multi-light wood doors accessed by wood steps. To the south of the enclosed part of the porch is a pair of multi-light, double-hung wood windows within a simple wood surround. Above the porch, at the upper story, is a large gabled dormer holding a group of multi-light double-hung wood windows flanked by paired multi-light wood casement windows. The group of double-hung windows are slightly recessed and surmounted by wood dentils. A wood louvered vent delineated by wood dentils is located above the windows. The north elevation fronts an overgrown lot and paved surface parking. The first and upper stories are lined with single double-hung wood windows. At least one window opening at the first story, west end appears to have been infilled with wood clapboard when an exterior wood stair was installed, accessing an upper story entrance door (likely in the 1940s when the house was converted into a duplex); the stair has since been removed, but the landing and upper story door remain. A chimney was also removed at this end, also likely to accommodate the exterior stair. The south elevation faces an asphalt driveway and parking area. At the east end of the elevation is a secondary entrance accessed by wood steps from the east and west. The entrance consists of a slab door that was added an unknown date. On either side of the entrance door are double- hung wood windows, and at the west end of the first story is a canted window bay holding three double-hung wood windows. The upper story of the south elevation is lined with double-hung wood windows. The rear (east) elevation overlooks a concrete pad with accessible parking stalls as well as another concrete slab that previously held the MacFarlane Electric Shop (demolished 2020-21).4 The elevation consists of a rear addition, which is an L-shaped volume clad in wood clapboard. The north portion of the addition extends further east and holds a rooftop patio and trellis structure accessed from the upper story. Fenestration at the addition includes single and grouped double-hung wood windows and wood paneled doors. The building has undergone some alterations since its construction, notably the partial enclosure of its primary (west) façade entrance porch; an L-shaped rear addition; the removal of a chimney 4 1949 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map; “S.A. Firm Plans New Building.”         and addition of wood cladding infill, and installation of an exterior stair and upper story entrance at the north elevation; and the infill of a couple of windows at secondary elevations. However, the building retains the majority of its character-defining features and materials (cross-gable roof with flared eaves (over west end), exposed rafter tails, knee braces, brackets, and carved bargeboards; wood shingle and clapboard siding; large gable dormer over the west façade; and wood double-hung windows). The property retains sufficient integrity to convey its historic appearance and significance as an early 20th century Craftsman-style residence in northern Santa Ana.

Chronology of Development and Use ca. 1905: The single-family residence at 2115 N. Main Street (2055 N. Main Street prior to 1930) was constructed.5 Daniel Thomas and Catherine Remsberg relocated with their children to Santa Ana from Ohio in the early 1900s. The family was residing at the subject property by 1905.6 1919: The Remsberg family sold the property to John C. and Elsie H. Schmidt. The Schmidts began operating a retail store called the Green Gables Frock Shop on the first floor of the residence in 1928.7 5 Pamela Daly, Daly & Associates, “Historical Resources Evaluation Report, Hampton Inn – Santa Ana Project,” October 2017, 19. 6 Orange County Directory, 1903, in Pamela Daly, Daly & Associates, 18-19. 7 Pamela Daly, Daly & Associates, 19; “Local Briefs,” The Register (Santa Ana, CA), April 4, 1928.         1940: Ivon W. MacFarlane and Joseph L. Taylor, partners in the MacFarlane Electric Company, purchased the property from the Schmidt family and converted the house into a duplex. MacFarlane and Taylor and their respective families lived in the residence. This is likely when the exterior stair and upper story door on the north elevation were added. MacFarlane and Taylor built a new shop for their electric company to the rear (east) of the residence (not extant; concrete slab remains).8 The MacFarlane Electric Company continued to operate at the subject property until the mid- 2010s. 1946: An addition was constructed at the east elevation of the residence.9 1950s: A second building associated with the electric company was added to the south of the residence by the mid-1950s.10 2020-21: Per Google Street View, the electric shop building to the rear (east) of the residence was demolished. 2024-25: Per Google Street View, the electric shop building to the south of the residence was demolished. Dates unk. The west façade porch was partially enclosed with fenestration. A secondary entrance and steps were added at the east end of the south elevation. Summary of Historical Significance The property at 2115-2117 N. Main Street was found eligible for local listing in 2001 through the Santa Ana Intensive Survey Update, completed by Leslie J. Heumann of Science Applications International Corporation. It was subsequently listed as Santa Ana Register of Historic Property 8 “S.A. Firm Plans New Building.” 9 “Permits Issued for $20,595 in Building;” Leslie J. Heumann, Science Applications International Corporation, “MacFarlane House,” Santa Ana Intensive Survey Update, October 7, 2001. 10 Pamela Daly, Daly & Associates, 19.         No. 122 at the “Contributive” level. The building was re-evaluated through the “Historical Resources Evaluation Report for the Hampton Inn – Santa Ana Project” by Pamela Daly of Daly & Associates in 2017. Daly & Associates concurred with the 2001 findings. The subject building is significant for representing early 20th century development patterns outside the city’s historic core. As Santa Ana’s population continued to grow during the first decades of the 20th century, the northern portion of Main Street was initially developed with single-family residences, most of which were replaced with commercial buildings in the post- World War II period. As described in the 2001 Santa Ana Survey Update, “The MacFarlane House is representative of this era of development, and is one of the few houses remaining from the period when the northern portion of Main Street was largely residential in use.” Furthermore, the building was found eligible for embodying the “distinguishing characteristics of an architectural building period associated with a specific period of development.”11 Character-Defining Features · Largely rectangular plan and massing · One-and-a-half-story height · Cross-gable roof with flared (at the west end) eaves featuring exposed rafter tails, knee braces, brackets, and carved bargeboards · Prominent front-facing gable dormer at the west façade · Wood shingle and wood clapboard siding separated by wood band at the north and south elevations · Full-width west entrance porch (partial porch enclosure at the north end is not character- defining) · Double-hung wood windows with simple wood surrounds (some windows have multi- light upper sashes) · Multi-light paired casement windows at the west façade dormer · Canted bay window at the south elevation 11 Leslie J. Heumann, Science Applications International Corporation, “MacFarlane House.”         Project Overview The Project proposes the rehabilitation of the building at 2115-2117 N. Main Street for use as a café on the first floor and office on the second floor. The exterior of the subject building would undergo some modifications to accommodate its new program as well as to restore original design elements that had previously been altered or lost. The non-historic enclosed part of the main (west) entrance porch would be removed and the porch restored to its original full-width configuration. A new multi-light wood entrance door and double-hung wood window would be reinstated underneath the front porch, where the front door and a window existed historically. An accessible ramp and landing would be added, connecting to the north end of the porch and providing access to the main entrance. At the north elevation, a non-historic exterior stair landing and upper story door would be removed and the door opening infilled with a new stud wall and wood shingle cladding matching surrounding historic cladding. The wood infill that is present where the original chimney was removed would be replaced with new wood clapboard siding that better matches the surrounding historic siding. A window opening that had been infilled at the west end of the elevation would be restored and a new double-hung wood window added. One double-hung wood window near the center of the elevation would be removed and a new larger opening created to accommodate three fully glazed wood French doors sheltered by an awning. The doors would open onto a new raised outdoor seating deck enclosed by a wood wall on the street- facing (west) side. A mural would be attached to the west side of the wall enclosing the deck. A new exterior staircase would be added to the non-historic rear (east) addition. No changes are proposed at the south elevation. The interior of the building would be modified, including the removal of some interior partitions and the addition of new finishes, fixtures, and equipment for the new café and office use. Site improvements, including new paving and raised planters, would also be added. Regulatory Environment California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) CEQA requires that environmental protection, including protection of historical resources, be given consideration in local land use decision-making processes. Thus, any project which constitutes a substantial adverse change to a historical resource also has a significant effect on         the environment, pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines. Under CEQA, a “historical resource” is a resource that is: · Listed in the California Register of Historical Resources; or · Determined eligible for listing in the California Register by the State Historical Resources Commission; or · Included in a local register of historical resources. Because 2115-2117 N. Main Street is listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties, the building meets the definition of a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. According to CEQA Guidelines, a project has the potential to impact a historical resource when the project involves a “substantial adverse change” in the resource’s significance. Substantial adverse change is defined as “physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its immediate surroundings such that the significance of an historical resource will be materially impaired.” The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation (the Standards) are a set of treatment standards for historic buildings developed by the National Park Service and used at the federal, state, and local levels to provide guidance as to the suitability of various elements of a proposed project that could affect a historic resource. They are at times employed under CEQA by the lead agency to determine the appropriateness of such a proposed project. Although compliance with the Standard is not always necessary to avoid an impact under CEQA, Section 15064.5(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines states: “Generally, a project that follows the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards … shall be considered as mitigated to a level of less than a significant impact on the historical resource.” City of Santa Ana Municipal Code Chapter 30 – Places of Historical and Architectural Significance According to Chapter 30 (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance), Section 30-6 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code: No exterior modifications, other than those identified by the historic resources commission for administrative approval by city staff, shall be permitted with respect to an 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 historic character and integrity of the historic property.12 As stated in the above section on CEQA, a project will generally not cause a substantial adverse change to a historical resource if it follows the Standards. Thus, if it is demonstrated that a project complies with the Standards, the project will meet the historic preservation design review requirements set forth in the Santa Ana Municipal Code. Furthermore, per the City of Santa Ana’s Historic Preservation Design & Review webpage, “Any improvements to a property on the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties, as well as those contributing properties located in a historic district, must meet the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation and will require a Certificate of Appropriateness.”13 Because the subject building is listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties, any proposed improvements to the building must meet the Standards. Compliance with the Standards Following is an analysis of the Project as it relates to the rehabilitation of the MacFarlane House at 2115-2117 N. Main Street. 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. The Project meets Standard No. 1. Under the Project, the subject building would be converted for café and office use. Its rehabilitation for this new use would require minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. 12 City of Santa Ana Municipal Code, Chapter 30, Section 30-6. 13 City of Santa Ana, “Historic Preservation,” accessed January 2023, https://www.santa-ana.org/historic-preservation/.         2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. The Project complies with Standard No. 2. The Project involves the rehabilitation of the subject building for use as a café on the first floor and office on the second floor. Some changes would be made to the property, including the addition of an accessible ramp attached to the north end of the west entrance porch; the infill of a non-historic upper-story entrance and stair landing at the north elevation; replacement of wood infill where a chimney was removed on the north elevation with compatible wood siding; removal of one double-hung wood window and creation of a larger opening to accommodate wood French doors on the north elevation; and the addition of a new exterior stair at the non-historic rear addition. Most of the materials and features that would be removed/altered as part of the rehabilitation work are not historic (i.e. upper-story entrance, stair landing, and wood infill at the north elevation, exterior stair at the rear addition). The one original window proposed for removal and new door opening would be located on a secondary elevation, which has already endured changes to its original fenestration pattern. Furthermore, the window that is proposed to be removed is one of several double-hung wood windows on the building and is not singularly distinctive. The vast majority of the building’s distinctive materials and features (largely rectangular plan and massing; one-and-a-half-story height; cross-gable roof with exposed rafter tails, knee braces, brackets, and carved bargeboards; wood shingle and clapboard siding; wood band separating stories; the majority of wood windows) would remain under the Project. Furthermore, the Project would restore historic features that had previously been altered/lost, including the original porch width and window openings at the west and north façades. Thus, the historic character of the property would be retained and preserved. 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 Project would not add any conjectural features or elements from other historic properties. The new French doors, outdoor seating deck, and wall enclosing the west side of the deck at the north elevation; accessible ramp at the west entrance porch; and exterior stair at the rear addition would be compatible yet differentiated from the historic building so as to not create a false sense of historical development.         4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. Standard No. 4 does not apply to the Projectʻs impact on the subject building. The Project would result in the removal of a porch enclosure at the west façade and a stair landing, upper story entrance, and window infill at the north elevation. The changes occurred decades after the building’s construction and have not acquired historic significance in their own right. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. The Project meets Standard No. 5. As described in detail in the discussion of Standard No. 2, the Project would not impact the building’s distinctive materials, features, finishes, construction techniques, or craftsmanship. While one window would be removed and a new door opening added, these changes are proposed at a secondary (north) elevation, and the window is not particularly distinctive. Thus, the historic character of the building would be preserved. 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 meets Standard No. 6. Any deteriorated historic features or materials (wood siding, windows, knee braces, brackets, wood band between stories, and porch elements) identified during the building’s rehabilitation would be repaired rather than replaced to the extent feasible. If deteriorated beyond repair, features/materials would be replaced in kind. 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. The Project complies with Standard No. 7. Any chemical or physical treatments required during the building’s rehabilitation would be undertaken using the gentlest means possible so as to minimize damage to historic fabric.         8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. Standard No. 8 does not apply with regard to the Project’s impact on the subject building, as the building’s rehabilitation does not include any ground-disturbing activities. 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 meets Standard No. 9. As described under Standard No. 2, exterior alterations are largely limited to previously altered features such as the removal of the porch enclosure at the west façade and the removal of an upper-story entrance, stair landing, and window/chimney infill at the north elevation. While one original window would be removed and replaced with a group of French doors at the north elevation, this elevation is secondary, its fenestration has already been altered, and the wood double-hung window is not singularly distinctive. Thus, the Project would not destroy any historic materials, features, or spatial relationships that characterize the property. 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. If the new accessible entrance ramp, outdoor deck, or wall enclosing the deck at the north elevation, or the exterior stair at the rear addition were removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the MacFarlane House and its environment would be unimpaired. Conclusion Based on an analysis of the Project and its potential impact to historical resources, ARG has determined that the proposed rehabilitation of the MacFarlane House for café and office use would have no impact to the historic materials and features that characterize the building,         complies with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, and would not result in a substantial adverse change to the property. Furthermore, the rehabilitation of the building, and the treatment of all of its materials, features, and immediate site, will be overseen by a Historic Architect meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards in Architecture and/or Historic Architecture in order to ensure the Project complies with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.14 Attachment: The MacFarlane House Certificate of Appropriateness Drawings Package, dated March 16, 2026 14 National Park Service, Code of Federal Regulations, 36 CFR Part 61, https://www.nps.gov/articles/sec-standards-prof- quals.htm.         This space for filing stamp only OR #: O R A N G E C O U N T Y R E P O R T E R ~ SINCE 1921 ~ 600 W.
