At the City Council Meeting held on May 19, 2020 I was disappointed that during <br />discussion of Item 85B there was NO mention of the historic Cypress Fire Station. <br />The Cypress Fire Station is #15 on the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties <br />and is located in Ward 2 @ 625 S. Cypress Avenue, in Pacific Park Neighborhood. <br />Property neglect and code violations have been observed and documented over <br />many years. Both the neighborhood and preservation community suffer from the <br />affects this property's deterioration and over time from vandalize a loss <br />of character defining architectural features. <br />As Staff moves forward with a DRAFT ORDINANCE THAT PROVIDES <br />REQUIREMENTS TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL <br />CODE TO ENHANCE SECURITY, PREVENT TRESPASSING, AND MAINTAIN <br />CLEAN APPEARANCE FOR VACANT PROPERTIES - it is of utmost importance that <br />ALL currently listed Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties should come first <br />and ALL property owners be held equal responsible, including the City. Please <br />note that a property regarded by the City as "surplus property" should not be <br />exempt or held separate, now & under the new ordinance from all other vacant <br />or neglected properties. <br />* A sample violations at the Cypress Fire Station are shown in the photos below - <br />Thank you, <br />Ginelle Hardy <br />Historic Resources Commissioner <br />Heninger Park, President <br />ginelleann cggmail.com <br />
