HRCA No. 2017-55, HRC No. 2017-54, HPPA No. 2017-59 October 4, 2018 Page 2 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 minimum 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 property is 78 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Flagg House, is located within the Floral Park neighborhood boundaries and has distinctive architectural features of the American Colonial Revival. The residence was built in 1940 by Allison C. Honer, a notable developer and prominent local builder credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco Style Old Santa Ana City Hall, the EI Toro Marine Base during World War II, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. The Flagg House incorporates a two-story massing, symmetrical in composition, with a one-story side wing projecting from the south elevation. Both the primary building mass and wing are side - gabled, with a moderate -pitch roof that exhibits eave returns at the gables. The first -floor exterior of the structure is clad in stucco, with the second story clad in wide, horizontal lapped wood siding. The windows on the primary elevation are wood, six -over -six, double hung windows, with the windows on the secondary elevations being a combination of multi -light hung and casements. A breakfast room addition was constructed in 1991, and a new two-story garage replaced a presumably original garage, also constructed in 1991. It is unclear if the south wing is original, or if it represents the addition of a breakfast room. While the residence has been altered, the alterations do not appear to detract from the integrity of the residence. Character -defining features of the Flagg House that should be preserved, include, but may not be limited to: symmetrical composition; materials and finishes (stucco, wood siding, and pilasters); roof configuration, including eave returns, materials, and treatment; massing and composition (two-story massing, one-story portico with a broken -base pediment and recessed entry); fenestration (multi -pane hung windows where extant); and architectural detailing. The Flagg House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the of the American Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality' representing the American Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Mills Act Apreement 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 3). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of 25A-158
