The legal description for the subject property is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. H. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on January 24, 2019 for the request for exterior modifications to the Henderson House. I. Since the property is listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, all exterior modifications are required to meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. 1. The following Secretary of Interior’s Standards are applicable: i. Standard 1. The property currently maintains its historic use as a single-family residence. The use is not proposed to change. The interior configuration will remain substantially the same with the exterior additions providing enhanced functionality. ii. Standard No. 2. The proposed second-story addition would be limited in square footage and proposed to be located toward the back elevation to preserve the character-defining elements of the home's front elevation. The removal of existing historic fabric will be limited to the smooth stucco siding, two six-over-six windows, a portion of the roof, and rafter tails along the rear elevation. The proposed work will not involve the removal or alteration of any other character- defining features, including the board and batten siding, shutters, massing and articulation. The interior spaces will be arranged in the same way that they are currently. iii. Standard No. 3. No conjectural features or elements from other historic properties would be added under the project. iv. Standard No. 5. The addition does not involve the removal of any historic fabric or character-defining features as noted under criterion 2 above, with exception of a limited area of smooth stucco siding, two six-over-six windows, a portion of the roof, and rafter tails along the rear elevation. The addition will involve the relocation of one existing window in order to preserve historic materials and finishes to the greatest degree possible. Character-defining features such as board and batten siding, cantilevered balcony over the front entry, most of the original windows (six-over-six with lamb’s tongue features) and rafter tails, shutters, and massing and articulation shall be preserved. v. Standard No. 9. The proposed addition and modification on the second floor will not involve the removal of historic materials, features, or spatial relationships, except as noted in under Criteria 2 and 5 above. The addition in this area is 2-10 FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 compatible with the existing scale and massing of the residence and will include the addition of a second story deck which will incorporate wood railings compatible with Monterey Variant style and compatible with the cantilevered balcony over the front entry. The modifications will be limited in square footage and located on the back elevation in order to preserve the character-defining front elevation and existing streetscape. Moreover, the addition will incorporate compatible rafter tails slightly larger than the original in order to distinguish from the original. Lastly, all new exterior materials will match the existing materials and the addition will incorporate a line of demarcation to differentiate the existing siding with the new. vi. Standard No. 10. Due to the additive nature of the proposal, the new work could be removed in the future and the property returned to its current form and environment. Further, if a future owner were to desire, most of the additions which have occurred in prior years could be removed as well. vii. Standards 4 and 6-8 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 project is designed in a manner consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards. Categorical Exemption No. ER-2018-127 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. 2018-22.

Its most defining characteristic is the broad second story balcony, usually cantilevered and covered by the main roof. While ceramic tiles were common in this variant, many roofs have wood shingles. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Henderson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Monterey Variant style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of a Monterey Variant in the Floral Park neighborhood, “is a good example of period architecture” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Also address integrity) The Henderson House was constructed in 1933 for Frank and Bertha Henderson and their two children, John and Mary. Mr. Henderson was a Santa Ana City employee who worked in purchasing in the Finance Department. Bertha was a teacher. Just prior to purchasing this house, Mr. Henderson became Superintendant of Schools for the Santa Ana School District. Mr. Henderson was a champion for teachers who became unemployed due to the Depression, working diligently to rehire them and securing federal funding (via Works Progress Administration) to to so. The Henderson’s sold the house in 1951 upon retirement, and moved to Burbank, California. Mr. Henderson passed away in 1954. The next homeowners were Raymond and Alice Simpson, who owned the home for the next two decades until selling to Ron Morgan in 1979. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) B11.

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. The Henderson House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. 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; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 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 (2007), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Henderson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it is a “good example of period architecture”. (Municipal Code, Section 30- 2.2). Character defining features include of the Henderson House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, exterior materials including stucco, stucco texture, and wood siding, original windows where extant, shutters, massing and articulation. *B12.
