restricted historical property pursuant to Article 1.9, Sec. 439 et seq., Chapter 3
Part 2 of Division 1 of the California Tax and Revenue Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City of Santa Ana and the Owner of the Historic Property
agree as follows:
1. Effective Date and Terms of Agreement.
This Agreement shall be effective and commence on February 19, 2019, and shall

California Government Code Sections 50280 through 50290 and in Section 2, below.
2. Renewal.
a. Each year on the anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, a year shall
automatically be added to the initial ten (10) year term of this Agreement unless written notice of

Owner or City shall serve written notice of nonrenewal of the Agreement on the other party.
Unless such notice is served by the Owner to the City at least ninety (90) days prior to the annual
renewal date, or served by the City to the Owner at least sixty (60) days prior to the annual
renewal date, one (1) year shall automatically be added to the term of the Agreement as provided
herein.
c. Within 30 days from receipt of City’s notice of nonrenewal, the Owner may file a
written protest of City’s decision of nonrenewal. The City may, at any time prior to the annual
renewal date of the Agreement, withdraw its notice to the Owner of nonrenewal.
d. If either the Owner or the City serves notice to the other of nonrenewal in any
year, the Agreement shall remain in effect for the balance of the term then remaining, either from
its original execution or from the last renewal of the Agreement, whichever may apply.
3. Standards and Conditions for Historic Property.
During the term of this Agreement, the Historic Property shall be subject to the following
conditions, requirements and restrictions:
a. Owner shall maintain the Historic Property in a good state of repair and shall
preserve, maintain, and, where necessary, restore or rehabilitate the property and its character-
defining features described in the “Historical Property Description” attached hereto, marked as
Exhibit B, notably the general architectural form, style, materials, design, scale, proportions,
C-8
organization of windows, doors, and other openings, textures, details, mass, roof line, porch and
other aspects of the appearance of the exterior to the satisfaction of the City.
b. All changes to the Historic Property shall comply with applicable City plans and
regulations, and conform to the rules and regulations of the Office of Historic Preservation of the
State Department of Parks and Recreation, namely the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards
and Guidelines for Historic Preservation Projects. These guidelines are attached hereto, marked
as Exhibit C, and incorporated herein by this reference. Owner shall continually maintain the
Historic Property in the same or better condition.
c. A view corridor enabling the general public to see the Historic Property from the
public right-of-way shall be maintained, and Owner shall not be permitted to block the view
corridor to the property with any new structure, such as walls, fences or shrubbery, so as to
prevent the viewing of the historic landmark by the public.
d. The following are prohibited: demolition of the Historic Property or destruction of
character-defining features of the building or site; removal of trees and other major vegetation
unless removal is approved by a rehabilitation plan approved by the Historic Resources
Commission; paving of yard surface; exterior alterations or additions unless approved by the
Historic Resources Commission and such alterations are in keeping with the Secretary of
Interior’s Standards; deteriorating, dilapidated or unrepaired structures such as fences, roofs,
doors, walls, and windows; storage of junk, trash, debris, discarded or unused objects such as
cars, appliances, or furniture; and other unsightly by decoration, structure or vegetation which is
unsightly by reason of its height, condition, or inappropriate location.
e. Owner shall allow reasonable periodic inspection by prior appointment, as needed
or at least every five (5) years after the initial inspection, of the interior and exterior of the
Historic Property by representatives of the City of Santa Ana, the County Assessor, the State
Department of Parks and Recreation, and the State Board of Equalization, to determine the
Owner’s compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested
which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth
in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the
Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
C-9
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner,
the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
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.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or
cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement or in City’s regulations governing historic properties are available to City
to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach
or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach
thereof or default hereunder.
7. Binding effect of Agreement.
a. Owner hereby subjects the Historic Property, located at 202-212 West Fourth
Street (commonly known as 202-208 W. 4th Street and 318-320 N. Sycamore Street),
Assessor Parcel Number 398-264-15, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, in the City of
Santa Ana, to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement.
b. City and Owner hereby declare their specific intent that the covenants, conditions
and restrictions as set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall
C-10
pass to and be binding upon Owner’s successors and assigns in title or interest to the Historic
Property. Every contract, deed, or other instrument hereinafter executed, covering or conveying
the Historic Property or any portion thereof, shall conclusively be held to have been executed,
delivered, and accepted subject to the tenants, restrictions, and reservations expressed in this
Agreement regardless of whether such covenants, conditions and restrictions are set forth in such
contract, deed, or other instrument.
8. No Compensation.
Owner shall not receive any payment from City in consideration of the obligation
imposed under this Agreement, it being recognized that the consideration for the execution of
this Agreement is the substantial public benefit to be derived therefrom and the advantage that
will accrue to Owner as a result of the effect upon the assessed value of the Property on the
account of the restrictions on the use and preservation of the Property.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Commercial Style (with a Second Empire Clock Tower Element)
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
The Commercial Style achieved maturity in large eastern and Midwestern cities, most notably Chicago, where the demands for office
and retail space in downtown areas led to the development of multi-storied buildings distinguished by an emphasis on windows over
wall surfaces and a relative lack of ornamentation. Dating from 1875 to 1930, commercial buildings generally have straight fronts
and level skylines, sometimes marked by an overhanging cornice. The regular fenestration pattern, usually consisting of repetitive
groupings of unadorned, rectangular windows, provides the primary characteristic of the facades. Chicago windows, with broad,
fixed central lights flanked by narrower, operable side sash, are often employed. Piers and spandrels may be in the same plane as the
windows, or spandrels may be recessed, with the result that neither horizontal nor vertical lines achieve dominance (Whiffen, 183-
189).

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and
boundaries.)
One of the most recognizable buildings in Santa Ana by virtue of its corner clock tower, the Spurgeon Building occupies the
southwest corner of Fourth and Sycamore Streets. Of brick construction, the building is divided into nine bays on the north (Fourth
Street) elevation and seven bays on the east elevation. Glazed display windows and storefronts, with solid bulkheads and transoms of
small, square panes of glass, occupy the street level bays. Building entries are located on each elevation and are distinguished by
rusticated surrounds. A decorative, projecting cornice circles the building above the ground floor. On the upper stories, the raised end
bays each contain single one-over-one double-hung sash and the slightly recessed interior bays each contain paired sash. Projecting
sills and paneled spandrels embellish the fenestration. At the fourth floor level, the tops of the piers are ornamented with raised brick
and tile arranged in a fork-like motif. Square panels punctuate the frieze above the fourth floor. Sandwiched between the end bays,
the overhanging cornice is detailed with dentils, bracketed soffits, and a patterned fascia. Rising above the northeast corner of the
building, the clock tower suggests the influence of the Second Empire style, with elaborate arches containing clock faces on four sides
surmounted by a cupola and flagpole. Other than relatively minor storefront alterations, the Spurgeon Building retains a high degree
of integrity.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
The Spurgeon Building was constructed in 1913 by William Spurgeon, the founder of Santa Ana, using a design provided by
architects Metcalf and Davis of Long Beach. It was the third Spurgeon Building on the site, having been preceded by smaller
structures erected in the1870s and 1880s. For many years it was not only the tallest building in Santa Ana, but also one of the most
prominent addresses in downtown, much favored by doctors and lawyers. Appropriately, the corner retail tenant was the White Cross
Drugstore; Walgreen’s took over the space in the 1930s.
William Spurgeon is not only remembered as the founder of Santa Ana, but also as one of its most prominent citizens. Spurgeon was
elected to the state legislature, was one of the prime movers in the movement to establish Orange County, and served as chairman on
the new county’s Board of Supervisors. His business and civic interests ranged from his general merchandise store, first opened on
Fourth Street in 1869, to the founding of Santa Ana’s first church (the Methodist Episcopal Church, now the Spurgeon Memorial
Methodist Church) in 1870 and the establishment of a stage coach stop followed by the formation of the Santa Ana and Newport
Railway. Spurgeon died in 1915. There was a campaign led by Tim Rush, local preservationist, to restore the operation of the clock
in 1999.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme,
period, geographic scope, and integrity.)
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative townsite on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana. Early growth and development was stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the
Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. By the end of the 1880s, Santa Ana’s downtown business district was defined by five city blocks of brick
commercial buildings on Fourth Street, with the heart of the city at the intersection of Fourth and Main Streets (Thomas, 8:1). The
period of 1911-1915 saw many characteristic new business blocks or remodels along Fourth Street, and by the 1920s Santa Ana’s
downtown had expanded in each direction to include both commercial and civic development.
The Spurgeon Building possesses a strong historic integrity and, in the nearly ninety years of its existence, has become recognized as
a symbol of Santa Ana. It is historically significant as one of the most prominent buildings in downtown Santa Ana, emblematic of
Santa Ana’s prosperity and primacy in the affairs of Orange County as well as home to numerous local professionals. A tangible
legacy of Santa Ana’s founder and one of its foremost city builders, the building is the most significant extant building associated with
William Spurgeon. In addition, the building is architecturally significant as a local example of the Commercial Style of architecture,
which stood out in the city’s landscape as the tallest building until 1923.
Due to the extraordinary importance and high integrity of the Spurgeon Building, all original features of the exterior should be
considered to be character-defining and should be preserved, including (but not limited to): all exterior finishes; building
configuration and bay divisions; tower; fenestration; and cornice.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
This building was individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and listed again in 1984 as a contributor to the
Downtown Historic District. Under the regulations implementing the California Register of Historical Resources, the building is also
listed in the California Register. Listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property, the Spurgeon Building has been categorized
as “Landmark” because it “is on the national register,” “is on the state register,” “has historical/cultural significance to the City of
Santa Ana,” and “has a unique architectural significance” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

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
C-20
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.

prevent the viewing of the historic landmark by the public.
d. The following are prohibited: demolition of the Historic Property or destruction of
character-defining features of the building or site; removal of trees and other major vegetation
unless removal is approved by a rehabilitation plan approved by the Historic Resources
Commission; paving of yard surface; exterior alterations or additions unless approved by the
Historic Resources Commission and such alterations are in keeping with the Secretary of
Interior’s Standards; deteriorating, dilapidated or unrepaired structures such as fences, roofs,
doors, walls, and windows; storage of junk, trash, debris, discarded or unused objects such as
cars, appliances, or furniture; and other unsightly by decoration, structure or vegetation which is
unsightly by reason of its height, condition, or inappropriate location.
e. Owner shall allow reasonable periodic inspection by prior appointment, as needed
or at least every five (5) years after the initial inspection, of the interior and exterior of the
Historic Property by representatives of the City of Santa Ana, the County Assessor, the State
Department of Parks and Recreation, and the State Board of Equalization, to determine the
Owner’s compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested
which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth
in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the
Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
D-7
property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner,
the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
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.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or
cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement or in City’s regulations governing historic properties are available to City
to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach
or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach
thereof or default hereunder.
7. Binding effect of Agreement.
a. Owner hereby subjects the Historic Property, located at 810 North French
Street, Assessor Parcel Number, 398-017-06, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, in
the City of Santa Ana, to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions as set forth in this
Agreement.
b. City and Owner hereby declare their specific intent that the covenants, conditions
and restrictions as set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall
pass to and be binding upon Owner’s successors and assigns in title or interest to the Historic
Property. Every contract, deed, or other instrument hereinafter executed, covering or conveying
D-8
the Historic Property or any portion thereof, shall conclusively be held to have been executed,
delivered, and accepted subject to the tenants, restrictions, and reservations expressed in this
Agreement regardless of whether such covenants, conditions and restrictions are set forth in such
contract, deed, or other instrument.
8. No Compensation.
Owner shall not receive any payment from City in consideration of the obligation
imposed under this Agreement, it being recognized that the consideration for the execution of
this Agreement is the substantial public benefit to be derived therefrom and the advantage that
will accrue to Owner as a result of the effect upon the assessed value of the Property on the
account of the restrictions on the use and preservation of the Property.
9. Notice.
Any notice required by the terms of this Agreement shall be sent to the address of the
respective parties as specified below or at other addresses that may be later specified by the
parties hereto.

Prominent bellcast hip-roofed dormers, accented with three multipaned arched windows, are centered in the front (west), north, and
south sides of the hipped roof of the Clarence Crookshank House. Carved brackets accent the main roof, dormers, and porch roof.
Narrow clapboard siding covers the exterior. Paired wood columns resting on solid clapboard railings support a single-storied porch,
topped with a mansard roof. Most of the windows are double-hung, with a leaded glass window placed next to the front door. The
high quality Craftsman style front door features a trio of long, narrow vertical beveled glass panels topped with three squares of
beveled glass. A single storied wing on the south side features a large plate glass window with a leaded glass transom and a slanted
bay on the south end. With the exception of the concrete front steps and possibly the single storied wing, this Colonial Revival home
does not appear to have been altered.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
Clarence Crookshank built this house for his bride, Anna L. Martin, in 1904. Clarence worked for his father Miles, first at the
Crookshank and Beatty Dry Goods Store, and later as a cashier in the First National Bank. He later become president of the Santa
Ana Building and Loan Company. He was active in several local civic organizations. His wife Anna died in 1912 and Clarence
remarried around 1916 to Janet T. Brown. They lived at this house until 1924, when they moved out to the county to Lemon Heights.

structure embodies the colonial revival sense of simplicity and dignified formality, with hipped roofs and centered prominent bellcast
hipped roofed dormers accented with three multi paned arched windows. The large porch, supported by paired wood columns, is
topped with a mansard roof adding to the Colonial Revival style.

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.

be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with
D-17
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.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by The
Craftsman magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of
Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed
honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A
new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of
capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low-pitched gable and
hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive
use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and
broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early
1920s. EXHIBIT B

This one and a half-story residence is an example of the side gable variant of the Craftsman bungalow. Of moderate pitch, the gable is
accented by a shed-roofed dormer centered on the façade. Roof treatment includes exposed rafters with notched tails in the eaves and
exposed knee braces in the gable ends. Medium width lap siding sheathes the house. Spanning most of the façade, a recessed porch is
enclosed by a brick porch wall. Short, elephantine posts on brick pedestals define three unevenly sized bays. Brick was also used for
the porch stair walls and for a chimney attached to the south elevation. The entry features a battered surround with an extended lintel.
Similarly framed, windows banded by transoms divided into small rectangular lights are located to either side of the entry. The
property also contains a garage, constructed many years after the house.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
This house was built by Harry P. Drips and May West Drips in 1912. Harry Drips’s father, William Drips, was a contractor,
responsible for the building of Layman’s Castle and the first brick building in Santa Ana, the Gilmacher Block. A carpenter at Griffin
Lumber and Mill, Harry joined his father in the construction business and together they built many churches and schools in the
Newport and Tustin area. The Drips family, whose original name was Seldon, had come to America from Scotland. It is said that
while fleeing religious persecution they had hidden in a cave and survived by drinking water that dripped from the rocks, and they
decided to change their name as a consequence (Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society Newsletter). May West Drips was the
daughter of pioneer Santa Ana resident C. Z. West, who operated the Waffle and West Livery Stable. West Street (now Broadway)
was named after her grandfather, Captain John West. The couple married in 1894 and raised three daughters. Their son-in-law,
James B. Utt, served in the United States Congress for over 20 years. Harry Drips died in 1940. May Drips continued to live in the
house for several more years.
Damaged by fire in 1991, the house was restored by Gary Green and presented with the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society
Award in 1992.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme,
period, geographic scope, and integrity.)
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative townsite on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana. Early growth and development was stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the
Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the leading
communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange.
Santa Ana continued to grow steadily, surviving an economic downturn in the 1890s and gaining momentum in the first decade of the
20th century. The older neighborhoods closest to the downtown commercial district and to the churches, clubs, and institutions began
to be filled up, and homebuilders looked elsewhere for land. This trend outward from the City’s historic core was symbolized by the
construction of Santa Ana High School on Main Street at Tenth Street in 1900 (demolished in the 1940s to make way for the new
Buffum’s Department Store). The Drips House is one of a cluster of homes from the first decades of the 20th century that have
survived on the 1700 block of North Bush Street, north of the older French Park neighborhood. It is architecturally significant as a
representative example of the Craftsman style. Characteristic features incorporated in the design include a horizontal emphasis,
articulated by the lines of eaves, porch beams, and window and door surrounds and a reliance on exposed structural elements such as
the rafters and braces in the eaves for architectural interest.
Character-defining exterior features of the Drips House, which should be preserved, include but may not be limited to: roof
configuration and treatment (exposed, shaped rafter tails, bargeboards, braces, etc., dormer), original materials and finishes, open
porch configuration and detailing, and original doors and windows.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
This resource is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. It is significant under Criterion 1 in that it embodies
the “distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period.” The Drips House has been categorized as “Key” because it “has
a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of the Craftsman style (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

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

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.

Subject:
SOLAR PANELS INSTALLATION ON HISTORIC PROPERTIES
In the last few months, staff has received various inquiries from property owners wishing to
install residential solar energy systems on properties that are listed on the Santa Ana Register
of Historic Properties (“Register”). The California Solar Rights Act prohibits unreasonable
restrictions placed on these systems and prohibits local governments from restricting them
based on aesthetics. Additionally, the act limits our review to public health and safety related
issues and requires a non‐discretionary review process.
Although the review of these systems is limited, the installation of solar energy systems on
historic properties should be in conformance with The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for
the Treatment of Historic Properties (“Secretary of Interior Standards”). Generally, solar
panels installed in a location that cannot be seen from the public right-of-way or primary
elevation will meet the Secretary of Interior Standards. To assist property owners, staff has
created the attached handout which provides design guidelines for the installation of solar
panels on historic properties. The handout will be made available on the City’s website and as
part of future educational outreach material to all historic property owners.

The installation of solar panels on properties that are listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historic
Properties (“Register”) should be in conformance with The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the
Treatment of Historic Properties (“Secretary of Interior Standards”). The following are design guidelines
for installing solar panels on residential properties that are listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historic
Properties. A listing of eligible Santa Ana properties may be found on the Cit y’s Historic Preservation
webpage http://www.ci.santa-ana.ca.us/pba/planning/HistoricPreservation.asp
SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION
Solar panels installed on a historic property in a location that cannot be seen from the public right-of-way
or primary elevation will generally meet the Secretary of Interior Standards. Conversely, an installation
that negatively impacts the historic character of a property will not meet the Stand ards. The following are
examples of locations that are least visible from the street:
a. Rooftops of detached garages or rear-facing roofs of primary residences have been identified as
the most appropriate locations for solar panels.
b. On flat roofs with parapet walls, solar panels installed on the full extent of the roof, provided that
the panels are not visible above the parapet walls.
c. On sloped roofs, solar panels installed on the rear 50 percent of the roof of the primary building.

PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2441 NORTH RIVERSIDE
DRIVE (HISTORIC EXTERIOR MODIFICATION
APPLICATION NO. 2018-22)
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana
hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. David and Jamie Buster (Applicants) are requesting approval of Historic
Exterior Modification Application No. 2018-22 to allow exterior
modifications to the property at 2441 North Riverside Drive, historically
known as the Henderson House.
B. The Henderson House is individually listed as No. 601 on the Santa Ana

C. The Henderson House has distinctive architectural features of the
Monterey Variant style and was built in 1933. Character-defining features
of the Henderson House include exterior materials (stucco texture, and
board and batten siding), cantilevered balcony over the front entry, original
windows (six-over-six with lamb’s tongue features), rafter tails, shutters,
massing and articulation.
D. 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.
E. The exterior modifications proposed in order to accomodate a second
story addition and balcony. Exterior modifications include replacement of
an existing den window with a new accordion style door on the first floor

G. 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. 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.
Section 4. The Historic Resources Commission Secretary is hereby directed to
file a certified copy of this Resolution with the County Recorder’s Office after the adoption
of this Resolution pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5029.
ADOPTED this 24th day of January 2019.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Monterey Variant
The Monterey style variant is an eclectic mix of Spanish Colonial houses with Colonial Revival details. 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).

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.

DPR 523L
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.
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.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-xx
A RESOLUTION OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCES
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING
THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2424 NORTH VALENCIA
STREET (HISTORIC EXTERIOR MODIFICATION
APPLICATION NO. 2018-23)
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana
hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. Michael and Pamela Bishop (Applicants) are requesting approval of
Historic Exterior Modification Application No. 2018-23 to allow exterior
modifications to the property at 2424 North Valencia Street, historically
known as the Charles Waffle House.
B. The Charles Waffle House is individually listed as No. 452 on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as “Contributive” in
2006.
C. The Charles Waffle House has distinctive architectural features of the
Tudor Revival style and was built in 1927. Character-defining features of
the Charles Waffle House include materials and finishes (stucco and
wood), roof configuration and detailing, original windows and doors,
chimney, and architectural details (half-timbering and attic vents).
D. 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.
E. The exterior modifications are proposed in order to accomodate a first
floor addition. Exterior modifications include a 199 square foot expansion
of the existing floor master bedroom and guest bedroom. In addition, the
project proposes an interior remodel of the kitchen and dining area.
However, the interior improvements are not within the purview of the
Historic Resources Commission. All of the exterior work is proposed to be
located towards the rear of the property.

GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383
F. The legal owners of the property are Michael and Pamela Bishop.
G. 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 Charles Waffle
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 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, four double-hung
wood windows, and a portion of the roof. The proposed work
will not involve the removal or alteration of any other
character-defining features, including the materials and
finishes (wood), roof configuration and detailing, original
windows and doors, chimney, and architectural details (half-
timbering and attic vents).
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 and a portion of the roof towards the
rear. The addition will involve the relocation of four existing
double-hung windows in order to preserve historic materials
and finishes to the greatest degree possible. Character-
defining features such as the materials and finishes (wood),
roof configuration and detailing, original windows and doors,
chimney, and architectural details (half-timbering and attic
vents) 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
3-8
FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383
in under Criteria 2 and 5 above. The addition in this area is
compatible with the existing scale and massing of the
residence and will be compatible with the Tudor Revival
architectural style. The proposed work will be limited in
square footage and located on the back elevation in order to
preserve the character-defining front elevation and existing
streetscape. 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-2018-128 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. 2018-23. 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.
Section 4. The Historic Resources Commission Secretary is hereby directed to
file a certified copy of this Resolution with the County Recorder’s Office after the adoption
of this Resolution pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5029.
ADOPTED this 24th day of January 2019.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-xx
A RESOLUTION OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCES
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING
THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2020 NORTH VICTORIA DRIVE
(HISTORIC EXTERIOR MODIFICATION APPLICATION
NO. 2018-25)
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana
hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. Kevin D. Barber and Stacy A. Clinesmith (Applicants) are requesting
approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application No. 2018-25 to allow
exterior modifications to the property at 2020 North Victoria Drive,
historically known as the Wells House.
B. The Wells House is individually listed as No. 347 on the Santa Ana
Register of Historical Properties and categorized as “Landmark” in 2003.
C. The Wells House has distinctive architectural features of the Spanish
Colonial Revival style and was built in 1928. Character-defining features
of the Wells House include materials and finishes (wood and stucco), roof
configuration, materials and treatment, massing and composition, porch,
recessed wood doors and windows, architectural detailing (decorative
relief, carved brackets, window grilles), and the original garage.
D. 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.
E. The exterior modifications are proposed in order to accomodate a second
story addition and deck. Exterior modifications include the demolition of an
existing exterior deck located on the second floor in order to
accommodate the addition and expansion of the second floor master
bathroom, approximately 186 square feet in size. The addition will also
include a cantilevered wood balcony with decorative wrought iron railings,
compatible with the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Lastly, the proposed
work will include various landscaping improvements to the front yard
5-9
FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383
including a new decorative walkway, fountain with decorative tile accents,
and an elevated patio area. With exception of the proposed front yard
improvements, all of the work is proposed to be located towards the rear
of the property.
F. The legal owners of the property are Kevin D. Barber and Stacy A.
Clinesmith.
G. 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 Wells 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 an inappropriate
second floor exterior deck which includes the removal of a
limited area of smooth stucco exterior finish and multi-paned
casements located along the rear elevation. The proposed
work will not involve the removal or alteration of any other
character-defining features, including the medium-pitched,
side-gabled red tiled roof with shallow eaves and
architectural detailing (decorative relief, carved brackets,
window grilles, carved rafters).
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 the removal of a
limited area of smooth stucco exterior finish and multipaned
casements located along the rear elevation. The addition
involves the removal of an incompatible second story deck
which is not individually distinctive, and therefore will not
constitute a loss. Character-defining features such the red
5-10
FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383
tiled roof, exposed carved rafters, decorative iron grilles, 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
compatible with the existing scale and massing of the
residence and will match the existing flat parapet roof along
the rear and incorporate new wood doors and windows to
match the existing recessed multi-paned wood windows. The
addition will also include a cantilevered wood balcony with
decorative wrought iron railings, compatible with the Spanish
Colonial Revival style. The proposed addition will be limited
in square footage and located on the back elevation in order
to preserve the character-defining front elevation. Moreover,
the proposed decorative walkway, decorative fountain, and
an elevated patio area are proposed to be compatible with
the existing streetscape. 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-2018-129 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. 2018-25. 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.
Section 4. The Historic Resources Commission Secretary is hereby directed to
file a certified copy of this Resolution with the County Recorder’s Office after the adoption
of this Resolution pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5029.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival
vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include
curved parapets (or espadaña); red tiled roofs and coping; low-pitched roofs, often with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by
large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between
1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama-
California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily
recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof
coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets; and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches; asymmetry;
balconies and patios; window grilles; and decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Wells House appears eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical
Resources. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of
the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The house also contributes to the historic character of the Floral Park neighborhood through its
age, style, scale, and historic association with members of the local business and professional communities. In addition, the Wells
House has been categorized as “Landmark” because the building “appears to be eligible” to be placed on the National Register and the
California Register and “has a unique architectural significance” as an intact and representative example of the Spanish Colonial
Revival style that contributes to the historic streetscape of North Victoria Drive (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

period revival design, substantial scale, and generous setback contribute to the elegant and distinctive streetscape on North
Victoria Drive. According to the original building permit, the house was constructed in 1928 at a cost of $12,500 for George
R. and Helen E. Wells. George Wells was associated with the firm of Wells and Bressler. The Wells’ resided at the address
from 1929 until at least 1941, according to Orange County directories. From 1945 until at least 1957, records show that
Gifford L. Teeple, USAC (in 1945), and his wife Olive owned the house.

*P3a. Description (continued):
an elaborate cast stone panel in low-relief featuring a cartouche bordered by scroll and floral designs. Slender apertures
with window grilles flank the entrance. The entry door is solid wood with a small, rectangular center opening covered by a
decorative iron grille. A concrete driveway near the north side of the property leads to a detached, two-car garage with
stucco finish and a tile roof similar in style to the main house. A pair of tall, square pedestals on either side of the driveway
near the house mark where a gate may have once stood. Enormous, mature pine and redwood trees obscure much of the
house from the street, dominating the front yard. Other landscaping consists of ivy, low hedges, and an arc of lawn. The
house appears original and in excellent condition.
*B10. Significance (continued):
The Wells 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 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 (2003) Floral Park maintains
its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Wells House appears eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of
Historical Resources. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Notable in this regard are the materials, massing, deeply recessed
windows, and Churrigueresque-inspired entry ornamentation. The house also contributes to the historic character of the
Floral Park neighborhood through its age, style, scale, and historic association with members of the local business
community. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Landmark” for its unique architectural significance as an
example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style that contributes to the historic streetscape of North Victoria Drive. All original
exterior features of the Wells House are considered character defining and should be preserved. These features include,
but may not be limited to: materials (wood) and finishes (stucco); roof configuration, materials and treatment; massing and
composition; porch; doors and windows; architectural detailing (decorative relief, carved brackets, window grilles); and
original garage.
