Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: • Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property In 2002, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Kleidosty House on the historical register and within the Landmark category. Character -defining features of the Kleidosty House determined architecturally significant included: materials and finishes (wood, brick); roof configuration and treatment; massing and composition; porches, balcony, and pergola; doors and windows; and architectural detailing (woodwork). The Kleidosty House qualified for listing under Criterion 1 of Sec. 30-2, of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), in that it embodied the "distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period." Additionally, the house was categorized as Landmark because it is unique and possessed a high degree of integrity as an outstanding example of Craftsman design and is historically noteworthy as one of the handful of ranch houses still extant in Santa Ana. The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15331, Class 31, as this action is designed to preserve a historic resource.
