Miller House <br />(1412 N. Louise Street) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTIONS <br />1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2024- <br />10 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2025-07; and <br />2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to <br />execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Ricardo Diaz and Rebeca Diaz, <br />Husband and Wife as Joint Tenants, for the property located at 1412 N. Louise Street, <br />subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />Ricardo and Rebeca Diaz are requesting approval to designate an existing Tudor Revival- <br />style residence located at 1412 N. Louise Street to the Santa Ana Register of Historical <br />Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa <br />Ana. The property qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties <br />under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style house. It is also worthy of <br />“Contributive” categorization as it contributes to the history and character of its <br />neighborhood as an example of the Tudor Revival style, including, but not limited to, its <br />asymmetrical primary façade, cross-gabled roof, moderately rough stucco siding, and <br />wood-sash windows in various configurations. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Project Location and Site Description <br />The subject property is located on a rectangular lot with North Louise Street to the east <br />and adjacent private properties to the north, south, and west, in the Washington Square <br />neighborhood in Santa Ana. The site contains a 1,672-square-foot, Tudor Revival-style <br />residence and detached garage on a 7,195-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3). <br />    <br />Historic Resources Commission 82 9/23/2025 <br />
