The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Net Development Company ("Applicant'), representing the Jahangiri Family Trust, is requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application No. 2017-02 to allow exterior modifications to the structure. B. The Melton House is individually listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as No. 463 and is categorized as Contributive. The structure was built in 1923 and is a Colonial Revival style. The house features Tuscan columns and plain beams supporting the porch roof with patterned wooden slates and gable vents, clipped gable roof with exposed rafter tails and bargeboard, clapboard siding and wood windows and doors. C. The structure is currently located at 2056 North Bush Street and proposed to be relocated to 2123 North Main Street. D. 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 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 character and integrity of the historic property. E. The exterior modifications proposed are to allow for the structure to be used as an eating establishment associated with a commercial development project. In particular, the key exterior improvements include: Resolution No. 2018-02 Page 1 of 6 EXEMPT FROM FEES PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Proposed North Elevation: Removal of two crawl space vents due to the change in the adjacent grade. Proposed South Elevation: A pair of double windows (four windows in total) will be removed and replaced with two new glass panel wood French doors leading to a new raised outdoor dining deck. A wall would be added to the south of the structure to buffer the outdoor dining deck from the street. Proposed East Elevation: An ADA ramp will be installed to allow access to the outdoor deck. Due to the grade of the ramp a crawl space vent will no longer be visible. Proposed West Elevation: The porch will remain, but the porch stoop will be reconfigured. The steps on each side of the stoop will be removed and additional steps will be added to the front to allow the steps to extend down to the new adjacent grade. F. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on January 25, 2018 for the request for exterior modifications to the Melton House, G. Since the property is listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, 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. Standard 1: The property will be given a new use as an eating establishment that requires minimal changes to its distinctive materials, features, spaces and spatial relationships. ii. Standard 2: The removal of distinct materials will be avoided. Four windows on the new south elevation will be replaced with doors to allow access in and out of the structure. The new doors will be placed in the same location as the existing windows to avoid the need for new openings. iii. Standard 3: The property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Historic Property Preservation Agreement No. 2015-02 for the subject property commits the owner to maintaining the property in a good state of repair and to rehabilitate the property as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. iv. Standard 4: Minimal changes to the exterior are proposed to retain and preserve the historic significance of the structure.

Standard 8: There are mitigation measures included to protect and preserve the Melton House as a resource. The applicant shall plan and execute the relocation in accordance with John Obed Curtis, Moving Historic Buildings and modern relocation practices. In addition, a Historic Architect or other professional meeting the Secretary of Interior Standards shall be retained to oversee the move. vii. Standard 9: The new door and wood surrounds will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. viii. Standards 10: The new raised outdoor deck and wall will be constructed independently from the Melton House. The deck and wall will be 1 to 2 inches away to allow the siding to breathe and if removed the integrity of the historic property would be unimpaired. 2. Standards 6 and 7 are not applicable. There are no repairs needed at this time to the structure. No chemical or physical treatments are proposed. Section 2. Mitigated Negative Declaration (Environmental Review No. 2017- 96) and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program was prepared with respect to this project.
