FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 secondary, south corner of the existing house, in an area that is not readily visible from the public right-of-way. Important spatial relationships characterizing the Colonial Revival (French Regency Variant) architectural style will not be disturbed, as the addition is only single story, positioned to the rear of the existing house, and will not alter the existing roof -line. The new will be differentiated from old, with the flat roof and low parapet edge allowing the addition to appear subordinate to, and not overwhelm the existing massing, while also preserving the historic sense of the steeply pitched roof -line. The materials of the new addition will also be compatible with the existing historic materials, through the use of similar yet differentiated materials. Stucco walls will be a smoother stucco texture, distinct from the existing hand -troweled textured stucco. In addition, the new steel windows will include a muntin and sash profile that is different from the existing windows. Lastly, the paint colors will be chosen in light colors complementary to existing such that the design does not overwhelm the house. vii. Standard No. 10. In conformance with Standard 10, the proposed project is considered generally reversible as it does not remove essential aspects of the building's form and materials. The proposed first floor addition will be located in the rear corner of the house, where it is not generally visible from the public right-of-way, and avoids the most significant and character -defining features. The essential form of the house and the vast majority of its historic materials will remain unimpaired. viii. Standard Nos. 6 through 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 (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15331, Class 31, as this project is designed in a manner consistent with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings. Categorical Exemption No. ER-2019-45 will be filed for this project. Section 3. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the public hearing hereby approves the Certificate of Appropriateness for Historic Exterior Modification Application No. 2019-06. The Historic Resources Commission finds that the proposed modifications do not substantially change the character and integrity of the historic property. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Staff Report and exhibits attached thereto and the public testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
