DISCUSSION
At the public hearing on March 4, 2004, the Historic Resources
Commission reviewed the proposed Historic Property Preservation
Agreement (Mills Act) and concluded that the proposed property tax
reduction would encourage the owner to reinvestment the tax savings in
the maintenance of their historic property benefiting both the owner and
the community (Exhibit A). Additionally, the agreement prevents
inappropriate alterations and continued maintenance of the historic Reid
House. The Commission recommended that the City Council execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreement No. 2003-09.

DISCUSSION
~equest of Applicant
The appl icants, Stephen and Jessica Hryniewicki, request approval of
Historic Property Preservation Agreement No. 2003-09 (Mills Act) between
the property owners and the City of Santa Aria.
Property Description
. The subject property is a two-story, single-family residence located at
2010 North Victoria Drive within the Floral Park neighborhood. Property
improvements include a two-story residence, detached two-car garage and
patio. The residential dwelling is surrounded by single-family
residential uses.
Analysis of the Issues
. In March 1999, the City Council approved an ordinance authorizing
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA) , commonly known as the
Mills Act contracts, for eligible historic properties. The agreement
provides monetary incentive to the property owners in the form of a
property tax reduction in exchange for the owners' voluntarycommítment
to maintain the property in a good state of repair and to rehabilitate
.he property as necessary to maintain its character and appearance.
nee recorded, the agreement triggers a requirement for determining the
. assessed value of the affected property, thus .resulting in potentially
significant property tax savings for the owners.
EXHIB~6a-3
HPPA No. 2003-09
March 4, 2004
Page 2
One of the eligibility requirements for the Mills Act is that the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties. The subject property, Reid House, was placed on the
Register and categorized as Landmark on April 3, 2003 by the Historic
Resources Commission (Exhibit I).
After consideration of the owners' application, it is recommended that
the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement
(Exhibit 2). A review of the property indicates the residence was built
in 1930, featuring Spanish Colonial Revival style characteristics. The
house has been maintained in excellent . condition, therefore a
supplemental property rehabilitation plan will not be required as part
of this agreement. The benefits of executing this agreement include,
but are not limited to, the following:
1.
Reduced property tax to allow reinvestment for preservation of
the property.
2.
Assures a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation.
3.
Prevents inappropriate alterations to the historic property.
4.
Provides an additional incentive
designated historic structures.
for homebuyers to purchase
5.
Provides an opportunity for visual improvement to the physical
environment of the community.
6.
Provides a focus on historic structures in the City.
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is exempt from further review. A Notice of Exemption
will be filed for this project.

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-
Califomia Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish inte'1'retations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily
Aognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof
'llllll!lfverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets; and stuccoed walls. The Spanisb vocabulary also includes arches; asymmetry;
balconies and patios; window grilles; and decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Reid 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 I 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 a member of the local business community. In addition, the Reid 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).

house. Located on the north half of the façade, a front-gabled wing projects towards the street. A bracketed overhang, a
central double-hung sash window flanked by shutters, and a wood-framed balcony, defines its upper story. Three small pipe
vents pierce the face of the gable peak near its peak. Balcony detailing includes carved wood brackets and posts. Below the
balcony, the paneled wood door entry, is recessed behind a round-headed arch supported by a stout column with a molded
impost. Wrought iron lanterns flank the archway. The arch motif is repeated to the south, where a pair of round-headed
windows are separated by an engaged column, and to the north, where a single round-headed window is centered

.
The Reid House is significant as an excellent example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in terms of its character defining
features and high level of integrity. Its period revival design, substanüal scale, and generous setback contribute to the
elegant and distinctive streetscape on North Victoria Drive. According to the original building permit, the house was built in
1930 at a oostof$15,000, a large sum at/he time, by Roy Russell, the primary developer of North Victoria Drive. From 1931
unti/1935, Orange County directories indicate that Robert E. and Grace G. Reid owned the house. Mr. Reid was President
of the Reid Motor Company. Clarence H. Hoiles and his wife Mabelle S. Hoiles resided at the address from 1936 unül at
least 1959, according to directories and building permits. Clarence H. Hoiles was the son of Raymond Hoiles, who became
publisher of the Santa Ana Register in 1935 and lived at 1917 Victoria Drive. As Secretary of the Register Publishing
Company, Clarence Hoiles was in charge of the business affairs of the paper. The Hoiles published the paper until 1987;
during their tenure, both the county and the paper, which became The Reaister in 1955 and the Oranae County Reaister in
1987, witnessed tremendous growth.

*P3a. Description (continued):
below the upper story window. Wrought iron belconets distinguish the lower north window as well as a pair of French doers
located on the upper southwest portion of the façade. Wrought iron was also used for a window grille in front of a small
rectangular window that is the only other opening on the upper story façade. A red brick chimney is visible along the south
elevation. Located on the northwest comer of the property, an original, two-car garage has a red liled roof and smoeth
stucco finish that is consistent in design with the house. A curving red brick entry path leeds from the concrete driveway to
the porch. The front yard is primarily lawn bordered by low vegetation and several trees. The house appears original and is
in excellent condition.
*810. Significance (continued):
The Reid House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth
Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broa.dway. 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, peges 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"(Oranae Countv Reaister 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" (Oranae Countv Reaister
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 EI Taro Marine Base during World War /I, 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 /I years, Floral Park continued its development as
numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradilion, 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 Reid 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. Distinguishing characteristics of the style include the broad
asymmetrical massing and composition, materials, arched openings, wrought iron detailing, and the expanses of wall
unbroken by openings, very much in the manner of the Andalusian precedents of the 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 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 Reid House are considered character defining and should be preserved. These
features include, but may not be limited to: materials (woed, iron, brick) and finishes (stucco); roof configuration, materials
and treatment; massing and composition; balconies; porch; projections; doers and windows; chimney; architectural detailing
(columns, arches, wood and wrought iron elements, sconces, etc.), and original garage.

Exhibit B
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:
.
.
I.
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 thàn on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements ti-om 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 alternations 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.
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 fonn and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
