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 'I/2) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the

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 1010 W. Santa Clara
Avenue, Assessor Parcel Number, 001-181-07, 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.

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

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

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch House
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post -World War II residential
expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch
House originated in the 1930's designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the West's
vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist's concern
for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor -outdoor integration.
While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character -defining features applies to most examples. In form and
massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying
roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong
horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the
Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board -and -batten siding, high brick
foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor -outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or
extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing
can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond -patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated
elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and
bird houses.
SUMMARYICONCLUSION:
The Mason-Heike House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as relatively
intact example of a Ranch style tract house in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Key" because it contributes
to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example of Ranch style architecture. (Santa
Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in West Floral Park, the Mason-Heike House is a one-story single-family residence on a large parcel, sited with a deep
setback and constructed in a Ranch House style. A detached garage is located towards the south end of the rear elevation of
the residence. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a moderately -
pitched, cross -gabled roof with a prominent front -facing gable. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of exterior
materials including stucco, brick, wood overlap, and distinctive board and batten siding. The entry porch is characterized by a
partial width front porch whose roof is supported by slender, paired posts. The entry also features an X-paneled and partially
glazed front door adjacent to a prominent, single -hung, muld4ight window. Occupying most of the fagade east of the entry is a
series of wood, multHight windows, centered within a wood overlap projection that wraps around the east elevation. Wood
multi -light windows also appear on the west and south elevations. A centralized, interior brick chimney rises above the rootline.
Alterations to the house include the removal of two windows along the east elevation. Other than the relatively minor noted
changes, the house appears intact and is in good condition. The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and a long
driveway leading towards the rear, detached garage.

*810. Significance (continued):
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.
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Mason-Heike House is located has been known
as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower Street on
the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time, the area was
primarily agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was improved with houses during the 1920s and 1930s, contained
only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315 North Bristol Street,
and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street. Between 1947 and 1950, around two dozen homes
were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed throughout the neighborhood during
the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.
The Mason-Heike House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as relatively
intact example of a Ranch style tract house in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Key" because it contributes to
the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example of Ranch style architecture. (Santa Ana
Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features of the Mason-Heike House include, but may not be limited to:
horizontal massing and composition; combination of exterior materials including stucco, brick, wood overlap, and distinctive
board and batten siding; X-paneled and partially glazed front door, and multi -light windows.

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

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.
