FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Resolution No. 2024-XX Page 2 of 13 E. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, no exterior physical modifications, other than those identified by the Historic Resources Commission for administrative approval by city staff, shall be permitted with respect to a historic structure until the Historic Resources Commission approves such request at a duly noticed public hearing and issues a certificate of appropriateness. The Historic Resources Commission shall issue the certificate of appropriateness upon finding that the proposed modification(s) does not substantially change the character and integrity of the historic property. F. The project scope includes the remodel of the single-family residence to include demolition of partition walls and floor plan reconfiguration for kitchen, dining room, family room, primary bedroom and laundry room. Exterior work includes removal of existing vinyl sliding window for a new steel casement tripartite window along the primary elevation, removal of a horizontal sliding door for two new metal windows and a like-for-like replacement of two existing wood horizontal windows along the north elevation, removal of a wood horizontal window and swing doors for two metal casement windows along the south elevation, and removal one existing vinyl-sash window and two paired 15-light wood-sash windows along the west elevation to accommodate installation of a new window and a metal sliding door. The work would also include new brick within the porch area to level the existing brick floor, the removal of an existing window along the north elevation of the detached garage, and legalizing previously unpermitted changes to the detached garage, including remo val of sliding door along north and west elevation. Staff notes that along the north elevation, the property owner originally proposed to replace two existing horizontal wood windows and replace them with new metal casement windows. However, after further discussion with the Planning Division staff the property owners will instead replace these windows with like-for-like wood windows, given the windows deteriorating conditions. Planning staff has placed a condition of approval requiring that the two subject windows remain as wood, and that they are replaced to the satisfaction of the Planning and Building Agency (PBA). Exterior work on the residence is described in more detail below. Alterations to the primary east façade would include: • Restoration of focal window by removing non-historic existing vinyl- sash window (Window E1 on Page A05 of Exhibit 4, Architectural Plans) and replacement with a tripartite steel casement window modeled (Window N1 on Page A08 and A09) on the historic window recently replaced at the same location; • Replacement of existing glazed front door (Door F1) with a new wood-panel door (Door P1) within the same doorway;
