Heninger Park How do you describe your community to someone who hasn't visited? What streets/boundaries define your community? Heninger Park is a Historic Neighborhood with Specific District Zoning 40 (SD-40) and street boundaries are First Street, S. Flower Street, S. Main Street, W. McFadden. Historic properties in Heninger Park are held accountable to Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines in addition to Citywide Design Guidelines and subject to a neighborhood review before permits can be pulled for proposed exterior changes, rehabilitation, additions, etc. What are the major culturaUrecreational/educationaUreligious institutions in your community? Just on the other side, or across the street, from The Artist's Village in Downtown Santa Ana, Heninger Park is known as Santa Ana's Craftsman Bungalow Neighborhood. A neighborhood of about 950 homes, several churches and markets, restaurants and tennis courts. Location of Santa Ana High School, Heninger Elementary School, Franklin Elementary School, Fire Station 975 and a Fire Museum. Heninger Park is the location of several properties on the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties including the historic Heninger House. Beginning in 1907 Martin Heninger and his brother built up Heninger Park neighbors from what was once a barley field. Martin and Mary Heninger lived in the Heninger House with their three daughters. Mrs. Heninger had an electric car she parked on a concrete ribbon driveway, that can still be seen today, outside her kitchen window. Does your community have major geographical boundaries/features (freeways, parks, lakes, mountains)? Heninger Park has NO parks, lakes or mountains and NO freeways! Do you have concerns about the current boundaries of your Ward? Heninger Park's east boundary is S. Main Street, also known as Historic Highway Old Route 101-A , and Historic South Main Business District. Concerns related to Heninger Park's S. Main Street boundary include include fate of Historic United Auto Building @ First & S.Main, fate of existing low rise low density residential & retail/commercial buildings, lack of historic survey of existing structures, fate of S. Sycamore, (the neighborhood street in Heninger Park behind S. Main Street), zoning existing and any future zoning changes, and cut through vehicle traffic. Other Comments: However redistricting occurs, as Special District 40 (SD-40) Heninger Park will need to be kept intact. Wilshire Square neighborhood shares Heninger Park's northern border, (McFadden) and with it's Historically Sensitive status Wilshire Square & Heninger Park should remain in the same district, in my opinion.
