this Agreement.
5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth

breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched
gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building
features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious
examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common
in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although
small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Born in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated
with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Ward House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized
as “Contributive” because it it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood and “is a
good example of period architecture,” representing the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code,
Section 30-2.2).

Located in Floral Park, the Ward House is a one-story single-family residential building constructed in the Tudor Revival style.
Asymmetrical in design, the house features a steep-pitch, cross-gable roof clad in composition shingle roofing. There are two
front-facing gables, with a prominent front gable featuring a cat slide (flared eave) that extends over the recessed entry. The
exterior of the building is clad in stucco and features faux half-timbering and exposed purlins below the eaves. The stucco
was recently refinished with a sand float stuccco finish, to more accurately reflect the Tudor Revival style. The entryway is
characterized by a single contemporary door recessed within a round arch brick surround, accessed via a poured concrete
walkway and three brick steps. Fenestration consists a mix of multi-light fixed and casement windows, as well as a
contemporary bay window. A prominent brick chimney is located at the south elevation. The property is simply landscaped
with a mature tree, a lawn, low vegetation and simple walkway at the front setback. The driveway is located along the south
elevation and leads to the detached, one-story, two-car garage. Other than the noted changes, the house appears intact and
is in good condition.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of
Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection
as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods
developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with
cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
2005 Greenleaf is located in central Floral Park, a neighborhood north of downtown Santa Ana bounded by west Seventeenth
Street, North Broadway, and Flower street. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered ranch houses
characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder
of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-
356). “Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land. And that month, he began building
custom homes in Santa Ana” (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park
subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. “When built in the 1920s, the Floral Park homes were the most
lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each” (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). Revival
architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park showcased examples
of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer Construction Company
went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base
during World War II, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615
West Santa Clara Avenue.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral
Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa
Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell’s own large, Colonial
Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War II years, Floral Park continued its development as
numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In
the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2018) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Ward House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, under Criterion 1, for its representation
of the distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive
because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood and “is a good example of period
architecture,” representing the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. Character-defining features of the Ward House that should
be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and faux half-timbering); roof configuration,
materials, and treatment (steep pitch, prominent front gables); massing and composition (entry porch); and fenestration
(multi-light windows).

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
