The Wells House has distinctive architectural features of the Spanish Colonial Revival style and was built in 1928.

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.

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 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 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.
