The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby <br />finds, determines, and declares as follows: <br />A.On March 2, 2023, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed <br />public hearing for the placement on the Santa Ana Register of Historical <br />Properties (Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2023-2) and <br />categorization (Historic Resources Commission Categorization No. 2023-1) <br />of the Turk House located at 2311 North Benton Way, Santa Ana. <br />B.The Turk House has distinctive architectural features of the Mid-Century <br />Modern style and was built in 1960. <br />C.The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical <br />Properties under Criterion 1 as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century <br />Modern style home in Santa Ana. The house displays characteristics of the <br />Mid-Century Modern style through its use of horizontal massing; low-pitch <br />gable roof with wide overhanging eaves; grouped, aluminum-frame <br />casement windows; stucco siding; and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor <br />living through the property’s expansive glazing and an interior courtyard <br />composed of a brise soleil privacy fence; among other original features. The <br />recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive <br />architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid-Century Modern style <br />(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). This category is reserved for <br />structures exemplifying greater architectural significance than the <br />“Contributive” category, in addition to contributing to the overall <br />neighborhood or district within the City of Santa Ana. The property is worthy <br />of “Key” status due to the building’s Mid-Century Modern style and quality <br />craftsmanship which features wide overhanging eaves; low-pitch roof; and <br />grouped, aluminum-frame casement windows, among other original <br />features. Character-defining features of the Turk House include, but may <br />not be limited to: low-pitched cross-gable roof with broad overhanging <br />eaves; extended beams below the gables; exposed rafters; continuous <br />2-6Historic Resources Commission March 2, 2023
