2013 -06 TO PERMIT EXTERIOR REPAIRS TO A RESIDENCE
LOCATED AT 1108 NORTH FRENCH STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA
ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Planning Commission does hereby find, determine and declare
as follows:
A. The Applicant is requesting approval to allow exterior repairs to the rear
elevation of the Bishop House at 1108 North French Street, which is within
the Specific Development No. 19 (SD -19) zoning district (French Park). The
residence structure is listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties as a Landmark property.
B. The project site is located within the boundaries of the French Park Historic
District (SD -19). In order to ensure architectural consistency, the French
Park zoning provisions require that all exterior modifications be reviewed by
the neighborhood's architectural review committee and be approved by the
Planning Commission.
C. Site Plan Review No. 2013 -06 came before the Planning Commission of the
City of Santa Ana on January 27, 2014.
D. Planning staff has reviewed the project for compliance with Historic French
Park Design Guidelines and the 10 federal Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for Rehabilitations. The proposed renovations to the historic
structure meet these nationally recognized rehabilitation standards,
including: 1) Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or
examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be
preserved (Standard 5); 2) Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired
rather than replaced. Where the severity of the deterioration requires
replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in
design, color, texture and other visual qualities and, where possible,
materials (Standard 6); and 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 (Standard 9).
