Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on July 11, 2019 for the request for exterior modifications to the Judge Allen 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. In conformance with Standard 1, the subject property will continue to be used as it was historically, as a single-family home. ii. Standard No. 2. In conformance with Standard 2, the historic character of the subject property will be retained and preserved. The second -floor addition will entail the removal of materials that are non -original. In addition, the removal of existing historic fabric will be minor and limited to a small area of clapboard siding on the rear elevation in order to accommodate the addition. The proposed work will not involve the removal or alteration of any other character - defining features, including the single -hung windows (with Iamb's tongue details), wooden shutters, eaves with exposed rafter tails. The interior spaces will be arranged in the same way that they are currently. iii. Standard No. 3. In conformance with Standard 3, the proposed changes will not create a false sense of historical development. In addition, no conjectural features or elements from other historic properties would be added under the project. iv. Standard No. 5. In conformance with Standard 5, distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the property will be preserved. The addition does not involve the removal of any historic fabric or character -defining features as noted under criterion 2 above, with exception of small area of clapboard siding on the rear elevation. The addition involves the removal of a non -original materials which are not individually distinctive, and therefore will not constitute a loss. Character -defining features such as single -hung windows (with Iamb's tongue details), wooden shutters, and eaves with exposed rafter tails shall be preserved. V. Standard No. 9. In conformance with Standard 9, the addition will not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 relationships that characterize the property. 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 change in this area removes an inappropriate second floor addition and replaces it with a new shed style roof configuration, which is compatible with the existing scale and massing of the residence. The addition will also include the addition of a second story deck which will incorporate wood railings compatible with Minimal Traditional/Colonial Revival style. Moreover, the addition is of very limited 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. In conformance with Standard 10, the proposed project is considered generally reversible as it does not remove essential aspects of the building's form and materials. 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 it, 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 (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, 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 for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings.
