FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Resolution No. 2024-XX Page 7 of 13 alterations involving the removal and replacement of historic and non-historic materials, principally windows and doors. However, the loss of character-defining historic features would be compatible with the historic character of the property and confined to the rear and side of the residence, in areas with limited or no public visibility. In order to preserve the historic character of the property, all proposed windows and doors, except for the wood panel front door and two horizontal wood doors along the north elevation, would be of metal fabrication (with glazing in the doors) consistent with the residence’s existing historical steel casement windows, with window sashes and trim and door frames painted to match the colors of the existing historical windows. Where sufficient documentation of the house’s historical design exists, specifically the east-façade focal window and, historical glazing patterns would be reproduced or approximated in the proposed features. Outside these two window reproductions, the new features are not intended to strictly replicate historical features, but instead to be compatible with the property and echo the historical use of steel, multi-pane windows throughout much of the residence. However, as doors and windows of modern commercial production, they would be inherently distinguishable from the historical features of the residence in their finish and glazing. No element of the project would alter any character-defining spaces or spatial relationships. v. Standard 4-8 and Standard 10 are not applicable. No features of this description would be affected by this Project. Section 2. 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 in a manner consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024 -85 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. 2024-04, as conditioned in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein. 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.
