Anallcabillri The Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines apply to all new infill development projects and all properties within Heninger Park that have been determined to be eligible or are listed on the City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties; these properties are listed In Appendix A of these design guidelines. These guidelines apply to new development and exterior modifications, including but not limited to rehabilitation or additions. The remaining properties within Heninger Park that are not listed in Appendix A are subject to the City of Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines. The Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines are included within the Citywide Design Guidelines and are available for review or purchase at the City Planning Division Public Counter. Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 9 of 71 B. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines is to provide an official direction to the future development, rehabilitation, and preservation of the Heninger Park Neighborhood. The primary purpose of the design guidelines is to promote the preservation and enhancement of the historical character and culturally significant structures within the Heninger Park Neighborhood. These guidelines will provide assistance to City staff and Insight to property owners and others of the City's goals for preservation of historically significant structures within the Heninger Park Neighborhood.

These guidelines are not intended to be strict development standards as are found in the zoning provisions. Therefore, the City may interpret them with some flexibility when applied to specific projects. These guidelines provide a set of design criteria that will: 1. Guide the preservation of structures within Heninger Park. 2. Promote the historical compatibility of building rehabilitation and landscaping for existing structures within Heninger Park. 3. Promote the compatibility of new infill structures within the neighborhood. 4. Establish a process for review. This document includes easy -to -follow compatibility guidelines and information on architectural styles and materials, landscaping, and a comprehensive review of procedures and processes. 4 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 10 of 71 C. Heninger Park Zoning District Ordinance The Specific Development 40 (Heninger Park) zoning ordinance is a separate document that establishes standards for design review, rehabilitation, and development.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLES Heninger Park offers a variety of architectural styles popular in Santa Ana and Southern Califomia from 1900 to 1940. With its graceful tree lined streets, it is primarily significant for its wide range of Craftsman and California Bungalow styles. Homes were being built near First Street on Sycamore, Broadway and Birch Streets around the tum of the century as this new residential area began to grow. Fine Colonial Revival and Craftsman Bungalows began to be built in the northern third of the area near Sycamore, Broadway, Birch, and Ross Streets. After the year 1916, Van Ness, Parton, and Garnsey Streets were developed and many of the houses on these streets are a later style of Craftsman Bungalow or are 1920's Colonial Revival and Spanish Revival in design. It is important to understand the characteristics of these architectural styles and the various design details that help define a particular style. The predominant architectural styles within the neighborhood are: Classical Revivals: Colonial Revival Craftsman: Craftsman Bungalow, California Bungalow, Prairie School Romantic Revivals: Spanish Colonial Revival Spanish Eclectic Revival English Tudor French Tudor The following pages illustrate and identify the most significant architectural features and designs of the residences within Heninger Park. II Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 17 of 71 Many of the charming features of the Queen Anne style can be seen In the Colonial Revival style that was popular from 1900 to 1907. Slanted bay windows, decorated transoms, gabled roofs with pedimented gables accented with fish -scale or decorative shingles were combined with narrow clapboard siding and diamond -paned windows. The style was made popular by the Chicago World's Fair. Its origins are in the colonial homes seen in the Northeast. Travel opportunities had increased and those visiting New England were impressed by the solidity and simplicity of the Early American home. A great patriotic feeling arose, resulting in the opinion that Americans should build homes in the style of the forefathers. The public was impressed with another new idea presented at the World's Fair, where all of the buildings were painted white. After the deep greens, maroons, golds, and tans of the Victorian era, the new white houses were stunning in their simplicity and purity. As a result, older houses were painted white also. Character Defining Features • One or two story • Gable or hipped roof • Symmetrical facades • Narrow clapboard siding • Wide fascia boards • Hipped dormer (centered) • Hipped roofs • Classical prominent porch, sometimes with pediment • Door flanked by side lights • Square or rounded columns 12 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 18 of 71 • Rectangular, three-part windows • Wood hung windows • Decorative transoms Colonial Revival 13 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 19 of 71 L1iF7i�IG1: 0:11R -1 ROIT, A new appreciation for Craftsman Bungalows has become evident within the last two decades of the 1900's. Those Interested in quality and fine craftsmanship are purchasing these homes to restore. Featuring an extensive use of wood both inside and out, the Craftsman Bungalow is known for its graceful and informal floor plan with plenty of windows and French doors to let in the light and fresh air. Gustav Stickley is credited for popularizing the Craftsman concept. He was a cabinetmaker who edited a magazine about the Arts and Crafts Movement, which had become very popular in England. In 1903, Stickley began publishing Craftsman Bungalow plans in his magazine and the style caught on quickly. His plans ranged from cozy cottages to very large two-story homes and bungalow courts. Plans could be ordered through the magazine and adapted to suit the owner's own taste. The Arts and Crafts Movement had a deep social significance. William Moms and Phillip Webb were devoted to the restoration of the arts and crafts to society. The back -to -nature concept was a reaction against some of the miserable social conditions present at the tum of the century. Industrialization, pollution, noise, smoke, tenements, ethnic ghetto, child labor, crowded cities, and poverty inspired a return to nature, simplicity, purity, and a healthy environment. Stickley carried the idea further and felt that the structure and function of a building should be appreciated in its basic form. The Craftsman house often seemed to grow out of the ground. The extensive use of brick, fieldstone, natural river rock, wood shingles, and siding were incorporated into the bungalows whenever possible. As the style grew to refinement, it became Identified with certain styles, such as english cottages, oriental teahouses, swiss chalets and airplane style. A whole philosophy of life went hand-in-hand with the style. Called the Craftsman ethic, the back -to -nature theme spread to the use of French doors, sleeping porches, informal gardens and ponds, and walls and fences of natural material. Built- in's such as desk, bookcases and buffets were also common features. Natural colors such as buff, beige, forest green, dark brown, soft gold, and tan were popular. Interiors featured Mission -style oak furniture, molded woodwork, wainscoting, large brick fireplaces, polished wood floors, burlap curtains, and wallpaper and friezes with natural subjects. 14 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 20 of 71 Character Definina Features • One or two story • Clapboard or shingle siding • Exposed structural elements/rafters • large open porches, typically with two columns • Overhanging eaves • Triangular knee braces, rafter tails, projecting brackets/beams • Large front windows, often in three parts • Wide front door with sidelights • Doors and windows outlined with wood trim • Extensive use of wood, stone, brick, and other natural materials Craftsman Bungalow Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 21 of 71 A later version of the Craftsman Bungalow, the California Bungalow carried the idea of simplicity and honesty even further. Homeownership was made possible for more and more families with the advent of the California Bungalow. It could be purchased from the local lumberyard as a kit or ordered from a catalog. Full-page ads could be found for these houses in the 'Prosperity Section" of the Santa Ana Register. The California Bungalow was more relaxed than the earlier bungalow versions. Casement windows, in pairs and trios, often featured mullioned designs that were used throughout the house, Picture post cards of California Bungalows, surrounded by palm trees, rose gardens, and blooming gardens, lured many a family to pack up their suitcases and come to the land of eternal sunshine. Character Definina Features • One story • Low-pitched gable roof • Contiguous gables facing street • Clapboard or stucco siding • Exposed building elements • Wood double -hung or casement windows • Large front windows, often in three parts • Prominent front porch often with pair of elephantine tapered columns • Small gable over front porch • Triangular braces • Foundation vents ....., 1-,.....,w,.o -10 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 22 of 71 Low -Pitch Gable Roof Triangular Braces There are a few Prairie School -style houses in Heninger Park. Prairie School houses began to be built in the early part of this century by followers of the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. An emphasis on horizontal proportions and lines produced a streamlined, yet comfortable home. The honesty, relationship to its environment, and use of natural materials relates the house to the Craftsman Bungalow. Character Definino Features • Stucco or wood exterior • Large porch balcony • Large square stucco -clad posts supporting porch • Multi -paned wood casement or wood double -hung windows • Two stories • Low-pitched, hipped roof with broad overhangs • Eaves, oomices, and fagades emphasize horizontal lines Prairie School l/ Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 23 of 71 Soldiers returning from World War I brought with them visions of French and English Tudors, Norman castles, Moorish and Spanish homes, and Dutch buildings. Every man could have his "castle" in almost any style he wanted. Spanish and other styles were mixed with a creative abandon. With so many newlyweds and families ready to settle down, the Spanish Colonial or Period Revival house offered a romantic and pleasant home.

DESIGN GUIDELINES A. The Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation The ten standards of the Secretary of Interior's Guidelines for Rehabilitation are shown on this page. They were developed in 1977 to serve as the guideline for all historic rehabilitation projects in the United States. They pertain to historic buildings of all sizes, materials, occupancy, and construction types. These standards should be referenced when considering an addition or rehabilitation of a historically significant structure. 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal changes to the defining characteristics of the building, site, and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of Its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance In their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. B. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historical integrity of the property and environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. 20 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 26 of 71 B. Architectural Guidelines Preservation and rehabilitation efforts in the Heninger Park Neighborhood shall be aimed at maintaining and protecting the original architectural features of a structure that will help Identify its individual style and thereby continue to contribute to the overall character of the neighborhood. These guidelines shall be utilized whenever repairs or alterations are contemplated to the exterior fagade of a structure. Porches and Stairs Classical Prominent Porch (Colonial Revival) Large Open Parch (Craftsman Bungalow) The porch is one of the most Important architectural features defining a structure while adding character to a street. A decision can be made if repair or replacement of the features is necessary by assessing the physical condition of the character defining materials. Existing front and side porches shall be repaired and maintained; this includes stairs, original front and side doors, french doors and sidelights. If it has been determined that repair is not feasible, the preferred option is always to replace the entire feature with similar material. Because this approach is not always technically or economically feasible, provisions can be made to consider the use of a compatible substitute material. Plans to propose to modemize or change the prominent features of an original porch, such as the stairs, overhangs, rails, support columns, and decorative work shall not be allowed, as any change in the structural or decorative elements of the front porch will usually jeopardize the architectural integrity of the residence. Porch Posts Support Decorative Porch Railing Elephantine Posts 21 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 27 of 71 Design Characteristics • Replacement porch features, elements, and materials shall match original features. Patterns of replacement features or elements shall replicate original. • New construction of front and side porches shall be compatible in size, scale, setback, and design to the historic district. • Porches should be built on raised foundations (if foundation of residence is raised). • Porch stairs shall be built to the style of the residence. • Porch stairs and porches shall be built of wood or concrete. orignal archtectural slements I Hill m, wri The following methods are not recommended when repairing or constructing new porches or stairs: • Ready-made (prefabricated) Iron railing and oversimplified construction methods. • Changing the original style of the porch roof. • Removal and alteration of front and side porches in part or whole. • Enclosure of front and side porches. • Using aluminum canopies or incongruous balustrades or handrail. • Removal and redesign of original wood porch and stairs with concrete porch or stairs. 22 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 28 of 71 Foundations Design Characteristics • Original foundations should be maintained to the extent feasible, including vent details such as screens, trim, lath, wood, concrete and ceramic decorative elements. Only the portion of the foundation in need of repair should be repaired or replaced. • Foundations should be consistent with the architectural style of the residence. • Application of mortar or other structural elements or feature should match the original design and craftsmanship. • Vents or other openings should preserve the original vent style in material and color. When replacement is necessary vent and hardware styles should be consistent with the original design. Raised Foundations The elevation of buildings or the vertical distance above grade or ground elevation is an important character -defining feature. In Heninger Park the majority of residential and commercial buildings are built above ground elevation on a raised foundation. Of these, nearly all have cellars and some larger houses and buildings have basements. Generally, access to the cellar or basement door is located outside the building. Raised foundations also, mean wood floors. These floors are generally oak, redwood or cedar in varying colors and board widths. Additions and New Construction Additions should be built to match the foundation style and finished floor elevation or height of the original structure. When the original building is on a raised foundation, the addition should be built on a raised foundation. When the original building is built on a concrete slab foundation the addition should also be a slab foundations. Foundation Vents Homes and building with wood siding generally have wood framed and wood trimmed foundation vents of varying sizes and shapes. Some foundation vents have decorative wood lathe over the screened opening. Homes and building with original stucco siding sometimes have wood, concrete or ceramic decorative elements over the screened foundation vent opening. Foundation Walls Some houses and buildings have concrete, brick, block or stone foundation walls that can be seen where the siding materials stops. The natural finish and color of a concrete, brick or stone foundation is appropriate and should not be painted, stuccoed or covered with applied veneers. Often masonry foundation walls of brick, block or stone match the masonry fireplace chimney and masonry porch piers and railing. Concrete foundation walls are often complimented by a concrete porch and/or concrete caps, railing and steps. 23 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 29 of 71 The following methods are not recommended when repairing or constructing new foundations: • Pre -fabricated foundation vents. • Additions that have different foundation design than original. 24 Resolution No, 2006-022 Page 30 of 71 Exterior Doors and Entrances Doors are important design features that contribute to the historic character of the neighborhood. Most architecturally significant residences In Heninger Park have wood doors that are particular to their style. The front door is always the most ornate, while secondary doors are usually more practical. The size, shape, and style of doors are an important feature of an architectural style and the original type should be retained. Masonry, wood, and architectural metal that comprise entrances and porches are distinctive architectural features. M' 0111 IIIA' inl Design Characteristics • Existing doors and entrances should be repaired and maintained to preserve their functional and decorative features. • Repair, reconstruction, or design should be based on the original design that is compatible in style, type, and material with the historical character of the residence. If using the same kind of material is not feasible, then a compatible substitute material may be considered. • New doors and entrances should reflect the most common historic style of the residence. • Salvage retailers are a good resource for authentic materials and styles, 25 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 31 of 71 Enclosure of Front Porch and Installing Shutters at Front Door The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing exterior doors and entrances: • Doorframes should not be covered with vinyl but should be maintained and protected from exposure to natural elements. • Introducing a new door or entrance that is incompatible in style, size, scale, material, or color to the original historic character of the residence. • Hollow core exterior doors. • Use of mismatched hardware or materials that are inappropriate to the style. • Heavy security screen doors with bars. 26 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 32 of 71 Windows Three -Part Double -Hung Window Casemen(Windows Casement Windows with Lights The size, shape and style of windows are an important architectural feature of most architectural styles and replacement of original windows with inappropriate materials can significantly alter the historic appearance of a stricture. Residential windows shall be architecturally compatible with existing structures. Where applicable, double -hung windows with wood trim, eyebrows, etc., shall be used to maintain character and design. The most common window style in Heninger Park is wood single or double -hung with wood sash and wood trim. Other common window configurations Include hopper, plate glass windows flanked by single/double-hung or casement windows, or groupings of three or more casement or single/double-hung windows. Windows may often have wood muntins with multiple glass lights, leaded and stained fixed windows.

With the exception of a few architectural styles, most of the residences in Heninger Park have wood siding. The appearance of wood siding on these residences helps define the historic character of the neighborhood. Wood siding should be repaired and not replaced, removed, or covered with stucco. Siding is an architectural character defining feature and should be maintained and repaired whenever possible. drop elding clapboard Design Characteristics Most exterior siding styles are made of redwood or cedar. The different siding styles include clapboard, board and batten, shingle, shake, and plank. Methods of repairing wood siding are by patching, splicing, consolidating from a less visible part of the home, or otherwise reinforcing features. Such repair may also include replacement in-kind of those parts that are either extensively deteriorated or are missing. Replacing siding that is too deteriorated to repair should be replaced with similar material. If using the same kind of material is not economically feasible, then a compatible substitute may be considered. 30 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 36 of 71 Exterior siding for additions should match the existing siding of residence in finish and design. New construction should have exterior finishes that are compatible with the existing architectural styles of the neighborhood. Paint color should be appropriate to the architectural style of the residence and district. Stdinp with Stone Siding with Stucco The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing wood siding and shingles: • Replacing wood siding with wood of a different size or shape. • Removal and replacement of wood siding with aluminum, vinyl, asphalt shingle, masonite or (concrete) siding. • Replacing wood siding with stucco. • Coatings (texture coat) applied over original siding. • Use of mismatched shingles and shades or other materials for patching. • Installing shingle without Inserting it under the shingle above. • Use of non -galvanized nails, which may rust. • Sandblasting siding to remove exterior paint or dirt. • Use of heat paint removers improperly or carelessly. 31 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 37 of 71 Exterior Plaster Exterior plaster or stucco is a common surface material of the period revivals such as Spanish Colonial, English and French Tudors. Design Characteristics • Stucco is an original feature of some residences in Heninger Park, such as the Spanish Colonial Revival, English and French Tudors, and Prairie Style. • Stucco/plaster should be applied with a hand trowel versus a spray application and should match the appropriate finish of the architectural style. • Paint color should be appropriate to the architectural style of the residence and district. • Exterior plaster has a natural tendency to crack and should be repaired promptly after decay is noticed. • Color pigment should be added to new stucco/plaster when patching or repairing decay on the existing structure. • Plaster texture and pattern should match the style of the period. 32 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 38 of 71 The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing exterior plaster: • Replacement of smooth plaster finish with knock -down stucco on Spanish Colonial Revival, English and French Tudor architectural style residences. • Patching plaster without removing all loose pieces and thoroughly cleaning the patch area or without creating a "locked joint" to form between old and new materials. • Applying new stucco in such a way that It covers or obscures existing architectural features, such as niches, window Mm, exterior molding or the edged roof trim. Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 39 of 71 Trims and Omamentation Authentic ornamentation and trim on a residence lend character and help identify a particular architectural style. Great care should be taken in handling trim and ornamentation during renovations. Design Characteristics All existing exterior historic decoration should be preserved. The following methods are not recommended when repairing trims and ornamentation: • Original trim should not be removed or completely replaced when only minor patching or repair is necessary. • Sandblasting should not be used to remove paint on trim. • The application of too many coats of paint obscures details and should be avoided. 34 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 40 of 71 Roofs Roofs are important functionally and aesthetically to a residence. When replacement is necessary, new roofing should be compatible with the original architectural style of the structure. The original roofing material for most residences in Heninger Park was wood shingle or shake. The original roof material for the Spanish Colonial Revival style residences was file. Design Characteristics • Existing roof repair shall generally include the limited replacement in kind material or with a compatible substitute and should match in material and color. • Dimensional 30 to 40 -year asphalt or composition shingle is appropriate replacement roofing material for all residential styles in Heninger Park, except for the Spanish Colonial Revival style. • Roof colors should be a neutral color, such as charcoal gray or brown, that can easily blend in with a variety of house colors. • Replacement Spanish file roof should resemble the original file roof as close as possible, including end trim pieces for Spanish Colonial Revival style residences. • Eaves, fascias, soffets, and rafter tells should be considered an integral part of the roof. Care should be taken to preserve the detailing and other character defining elements of these features. California Bungalow 35 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 41 of 71 The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing roofs: • The use of materials or colors that are inappropriate to the style of the residence. • Patching roofs with materials or color that do not match the rest of the residence. • Patching Spanish tile roofs by "dumping" mortar on cracked tiles. • Radically changing or destroying roof design features such as fascia boards, rafter tails, attic vents, dormers, eyebrows, cupolas, cresting, and other similar architectural features. • Rolled roofing material and rock roofs. • Applying Spanish design tile roofs to any architectural style other than Spanish Colonial Revival. • Eaves and soffets should not be boxed or altered in a manner that affects the original design. 36 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 42 of 71 Chimneys and Masonry In most historic residences, the chimney was a functional part of the residence and serve as a decorative architectural feature in relation to their design. Each architectural style of residence has its own design that is unique. Masonry is also common at the foundation entrances and porches. The use of natural materials, such as rock, stone, and brick, was used in the construction of most of these elements. Design Characteristics • Replacement of the chimney and masonry shall be in-kind. The chimney should only be replaced if it is too deteriorated to repair or poses a health or safety concern. • Chimney and masonry shall be repaired where there is evidence of deterioration such as disintegrating mortar, cracks in mortar joints, loose bricks, or damaged plasterwork. 37 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 43 of 71 • Replacement of the chimney and masonry shall be compatible with the overall form, pattern, and detailing of original chimney and masonry. If using matching material is unfeasible, a compatible substitute material may be considered. • Chimneys and masonry shall reflect and duplicate original design, old mortar in strength, composition, color, and texture. • In replacing or rehabilitating a chimney or masonry, historical, pictorial, and physical documentation should be used if available. • A new design that is compatible with the remaining character defining features can be substituted if information no longer exists for an original chimney and masonry. • Chimney and masonry materials often match material used for piers. • Replacement bricks, stone, or masonry should match the existing size, color, and texture to the greatest extent possible. The following methods are not recommended when repairing or replacing chimneys and masonry: • Replacing an entire chimney and masonry, when repair and limited replacement of deteriorating or missing parts are appropriate. • Removal or radically changing architectural features that are important in defining the overall historical character of the building. • Using substitute material for the replacement that does not match the visual appearance of the surviving parts of the existing structure. • Removing a chimney and masonry feature that is unrepaireble and/or replacing it with a new feature that does not convey the same visual appearance. • Applying paint or stucco or other coatings such as stucco to chimney or masonry that historically has been unpainted or uncoated to create a new appearance. • Sandblasting to remove paint or dirt. • Using mechanical grinders to remove mortar between brick joints. 39 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 44 of 71 Exterior Vents. Gutters and Downspouts Roof vents allow proper ventilation in the attic and maintain the structural integrity of the building. All exterior vents shall be aesthetically designed and be compatible with the design of the residence. Exterior vents are most often located in the gable ends of both the residence and garage. Exterior vents should reflect and duplicate original design, typically large and of wood lath construction. Gutters and downspouts should be kept in proper working order and periodically checked for leaks and clogs that may cause water to run down the sides of the structure causing paint to prematurely weather. Design Characteristics • Wood lath is often set in a decorative criss-cross lattice pattern. • Existing exterior vents shall be repaired and maintained. • Replacement of exterior vents shall match original, elements and materials. • Replacement features or elements shall replicate original design elements and pattems. 11 using the same material is unfeasible, a compatible substitute material may be considered. • Exterior vents should have wood trim if appropriate with the architectural style of residence. • Any screening should be placed behind the wood lath, not in front. • In new construction, exterior vents should be functioning and not simply decorative. • New downspouts should be placed in the least conspicuous locations such as the sides and rear elevations of the structure. • Gutters and downspouts should relate to the style and lines of the structure and should be painted to match the trim or body color of the structure. 39 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 45 of 71 The following methods are not recommended when repairing, replacing, or installing new exterior vents, gutters, and downspouts: • Removal of exterior vents in part or whole. • Alterations to exterior vents, such as widening or reducing size. • Metal or prefabricated exterior vents. • Roof mounted round revolving exterior vents. • Downspouts should not be placed on the front facade. • Gutters and downspouts should not be painted a contrasting color so they stand out. 40 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 46 of 71 Garages and Accessory Structures Rehabilitation of garages and accessory structures should reflect the architectural style prevalent during Heninger Park's period of significance. The use of historical, pictorial, and physical documentation of former structures on the site should be used in the design elements of a new garage or accessory structure. If Information is not available, a new design that is compatible with the principal structure's character -defining features can be selected. New construction of garages or accessory structures should be compatible in size, scale, and massing to adjacent and nearby accessory structures. 41 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 47 of 71 Design Characteristics • A new or existing accessory structure, such as a garage or garden shed. can generally attain architectural compatibility by incorporating a few key character -defining elements of the main building. Some key elements to consider include: o Roof pitch consistency o Building proportions o Door and window style o Color o Exterior finish o Attic venting • New garages and accessory structures should be detached and located at the rear of the residence and out of view from the street. • Garage doors should be of wood or similar material and should be of an architectural design that matches the residence or a modem and functional design that is compatible in design. • Rehabilitation of garages or accessory structures should reflect the existing architectural style of the existing building. • Garage materials shall be of the same or similar materials of the residence. • Contributing architectural design features should be preserved when restoring a garage. • Carriage bam type garages should be maintained and repaired when possible. • Original hardware should be preserved. The following methods are not recommended when restoring or building new garages and accessory structures: • Removal or radically changing architectural features, which are important in defining the overall character of the building. • Using substitute materials for replacement that are different in design and material from the original existing structure. 42 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 48 of 71 Exterior Paint Colors The City of Santa Ana does not regulate paint colors. However, the following Information Is provided for homeowners seeking advice on paint colors. Certain paint colors historically were associated with certain time periods and architectural styles. Over time, these color schemes became less common as individuals and neighborhood$ selected more contemporary colors. The selection of a color scheme is very important and should be thought out very thoroughly. To avoid downgrading the architectural identity of a residence, a few simple guidelines should be taken Into account when selecting colors for a residence. These are identified below. • Select a color scheme that will unify all of the different elements of the residence and will not clash with each other. • Look at other residences in the neighborhood with a similar architectural style and note any successful color combinations. • Most architectural styles should be limited to three different colors. • The larger the residence, the more subtle the colors should be. Light colors help reduce the massiveness of large fagades. • Stained shingles, brick, stonework, chimneys, and roofing should not be painted. • Limit the use of strong colors to one per residence and to trim areas. Colonial Revival and Prairie School These residences were typically painted white or light colors. Shingles were usually used at the upper level, with siding below. The upper areas should be stained with green, brown, or similar colors, with white used at the lower level. The building trims were generally white, and window sashes were generally painted a dark color, such as black. Craftsman and California Bungalow These residential styles typically had wood siding or shingles, with finished wood trims. The shingles or siding were often stained earth tones of brown or green or sometimes left natural. The shingles and siding should be painted a light to medium, semi-neutral, soft shade of a color such as yellow, brown, red, green, or gray. The trims were often painted white, ivory, or cream. The window sashes were painted white, black, or sometimes the same color as the trim. Period and Spanish Colonial Revival The materials used for both of these architectural styles were similar. The main body of the residence was usually stucco with rough or smooth finished wood trim and either wood shingles, shakes, or clay tile roofs. The main body was usually light colored, such as tan, buff, or white. The rough wood features were usually stained dark brown and the smooth wood trims were usually painted a dark color, such as green or brown. The window sashes were usually painted the same color as the trim. 51 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 49 of 71 Landscaoina Period Revival Landscaping and yards can be part of the historic context of a residence. The City of Santa Ana's Landscape Standards are considered the minimum design criteria. The Heninger Park Neighborhood Association recommends exceeding the City's requirements in landscape design with an emphasis on appropriate drought tolerant materials. Design Characteristics • Landscaping should be in scale and proportion with adjacent structures and other landscaping elements and should be of appropriate size and maturity. • Exotic plant species make excellent landscape focal points, such as cactus, succulents, pampas grass, aloes, palms, and vines. • Landscaping shall mean at least grass In the front yard and maintained in a neat and orderly manner. Choose a plant palette and design to compliment the architecture of the structure. • Large shade trees should be added to create a traditional landscape form. Proportion Is an important part of creating a harmonious landscape. A one-story residence will be better complimented with a mid-slzed tree rather than one that towers over it. • Shrubs should be located at the corners of the residences to soften sharp angles. • Balance the landscape using mass, color, or form to create equal visual weight on either side of interest. Strive for some unity in the landscape design, rather than scattered features. • The use of a variety of plants that make the residence attractive in winter as well as summer (i.e., shrubs that stay green all year-round in addition to seasonal plants) should be used. • Xeriphytic or dry climate type plant material is encouraged. • Irrigation systems should be pop-up sprinkler type. 44 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 50 of 71 Period, Spanish, and Colonial Revivals Formal designs should emphasize a uniform balance of landscape features with a mirror-like symmetry. Landscaped areas should be plotted out in geometrical shapes and trees and shrubs should be trimmed into stylized forms. Prairie School, Craftsman, and California Bungalow An informal landscape theme emphasizes asymmetrical designs. These arrangements should appear to be more natural and free-flowing. The informal design approach Is most suited for these styles that reject formality and return to a natural state. 45 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 51 of 71 Not Appropriate j The following is not recommended: Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 52 of 71 Perimeter Fencina Fences of appropriate materials can do much to contribute to the overall architectural character of the residence. All fencing shall be in conformance with regard to height specified by City of Santa Ana Municipal Code and Specific Development 40 standards and compatible with the architectural style of the residence. If adequate historical, pictorial, and physical documentation of a historically appropriate fence of the residence is available, the features should be replicated. If information no longer exists, a new design that is compatible with the character - defining features of the residence can be constructed. Design Characteristics • Design of front, side, and rear yard fencing shall be historically compatible with the architecture of the residence. • Fencing should be ornamental in nature and be constructed of material complimentary to the main structure on the property and compatible with the neighborhood as a whole. • Fencing should not detract from street side fagades of the residence or building. • Fencing constructed of wood, such as picket fences, can be of plain features or with ornamental carving at the top. Wood fencing is appropriate with the architectural styles of Colonial Revival, Craftsman and Callfomia Bungalow, Prairie School, and Period Revival, such as English and French Tudors. • Wrought iron may be appropriate if compatible with the architectural style of the residence, such as the Colonial Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style. • Fencing constructed of wrought Iron should reflect historical patterns and feature plain balusters. 47 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 53 of 71 • The use of natural materials, such as stone and rock or brick, is appropriate with the Craftsman and California Bungalow architectural styles. • All fencing will be in accordance with the City of Santa Ana Specific Development 40. • Gates shall match fence pattern, design, and materials. • Retaining walls must reflect historical paftems and be constructed of river rock, plain scored concrete, or pre -1920 manufactured stone. • Latticework, in a diamond or rectangular pattern, can be used along the top at rear yards. • Wood trellises are an appropriate feature to complement fences in the rear yard. The following methods are not recommended when restoring or building new fencing: • Cinder block or plain concrete block front yard fences. • Chain link front yard fences. • Fan design wrought iron or exaggerated front yard fences. • Front yard fencing designed for fortressing purposes. • Removal or radically changing important architectural features that define the overall character of the fencing. 48 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 54 of 71 Driveways Hollywood Driveway Driveways for some of Heninger Park's residences lead directly from the street to a detached garage. The Hollywood driveway is the preferred design in Heninger Park and is a driveway consisting of two parallel paved strips for the tires separated by turf or gravel panel down the middle. It Is inappropriate to pave the center of existing traditional two -strip driveways with concrete. An alternative to paving the center would be to use brick pavers or stonework as an alternative to concrete. These driveways shall lead directly to the garage and shall not exceed City code requirements. DETACHED GARAGE eNIWnN Front Y*rE w• ea�f I' prlvMvy Typical Driveway Dimensions ae Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 55 of 71 The following methods are not recommended when repairing or pouring new driveways: • Paving the area between the edge of the driveway and the nearest property line, thereby eliminating areas for green landscaping. • Removing the landscape from the center of an existing Hollywood driveway and replacing It with block, concrete, or other similar material. • Removing required front yard landscaping to expand the width of the driveway. 50 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 56 of 71 Walkways Main entry walkways that are compatible with the materials found on the residence contribute to the overall design of a residence. The materials listed below are appropriate residential walkways: • Brick • Natural gray concrete — wash finish to expose fine aggregates • Stone — random or in cut patterns • Cobble — gray granite or river rock • Decomposed granite • Poured -in-place or pre -cast natural grey concrete stepping stones • Painted concrete The following methods are not recommended when repairing or pouring new walkways: • Repairing cracked concrete with a non-matching material or color. • Pouring entry walkways wider than four -feet. 51 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 57 of 71 Additions Additions should complement the overall massing, scale, material, detailing, craftsmanship, and texture of the original structure and should not destroy significant architectural features, materials, or finishes. When possible, a property owner should accommodate living space needs within the existing envelope of the residence. When additional space is required, it should be constructed so that it is as unobtrusive as possible. Rear additions are almost always appropriate and are not considered a negative impact on the historic character of the neighborhood when complying with the SD 40 development standards. Additions should be designed to: Preserve significant architectural features, details, and materials of existing residence. Preserve the character, massing, and scale of the residence by maintaining existing proportions of the new addition. Scale and Mass Each building has a characteristic scale and mass that is unique to its particular style. For example, the Craftsman Bungalow architectural style emphasizes horizontal lines giving them a low to the ground appearance. low-pitched roofs with wide and thick porch pillars all add to this appearance. Each architectural style possesses unique qualities that help to establish its own individual mass and scale. It is important to recognize these features and Incorporate and continue them in additions and expansions.

The roof style, pitch, and detailing on the addition should match the original structure. Roof material should also match as close as possible in order to maintain the architectural style of the original structure. 52 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 58 of 71 Second Story Additions Adding additional stories to an existing residence will always change a building's proportions and should be carefully designed to follow similar two-story examples of the particular architectural style in the surrounding neighborhood. The new second story addition should be setback from the front fagade to be better integrated with the residence. Second story additions should be designed to respect and not overpower the significant architectural features such as chimneys, porches, and other similar features. Exterior Materials The exterior appearance of additions should be compatible with the style, quality, dimension, texture, and color of materials on the existing residence. When possible, new architectural features, such as chimneys and porches, should be compatible with the style, quality, dimension, texture, and color of materials on the existing residence. Doors Additions should incorporate exterior doors that are compatible with the architectural style of the house, especially when visible from the street. Please refer to the Exterior Doors and Entrances section of this document for specific designs. Windows Original window type, style, and material should be integrated when creating an addition. Wood single or double -hung windows are the most common window style in Heninger Park. The general rhythm of window style placement should complement the style of the residence. Exterior window trims should be compatible in design and color with windows on the existing residence. Please refer to the Windows section of this document for specific designs. 53 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 59 of 71 New Infill Development There is a limited opportunity for new infill construction in the Heninger Park neighborhood because there is little vacant land available. All new construction, Including residential additions and accessory structures, is subject to design review by the City Planning Division and Heninger Park Architectural Review Committee. The issue of the design and character of the new buildings needs to be addressed before the owners and architects begin the design and planning process. All new construction and rehabilitation should reflect styles prevalent during Heninger Park's prime period of significance, which occurred in the early 1900s and which are illustrated in Chapter III. All new infill development should be compatible in massing, scale, materials, craftsmanship, texture, and architectural character with surrounding structures. It is recommended that design elements be consistent with those of the historic architectural style, not modern concepts of these early styles. The following guidelines are intended to ensure that new infill development respects the existing pattern, scale, and character of the immediate neighborhood. Site Planning A new Infill building should continue the functional, on-site relationships of the surrounding district or neighborhood. For example, some of the common residential site configurations found in Santa Ana are prominent entries facing the street, front porches, ample front yards, and detached garages located toward the rear of the property. A rhythm is necessary in maintaining the element of harmony in a neighborhood's development pattern. Minimum and prevailing front yard setbacks are established in the Zoning Ordinance. However, in order to maintain a consistency within a district, front yard setbacks for new infill should follow of the following criteria when possible: • They should be consistent with the average setbacks of the two immediately adjacent buildings. In this case, the new buildings may be averaged in a step pattern. • New projects should be respectful of the existing open space pattern and should provide side yards that respect the existing pattern. 54 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 60 of 71 Architectural style All architecture needs to consider compatibility with the surrounding context. Ultimately, choosing which architectural style to use is a matter of choice. In choosing an architectural style it is not necessary to achieve an exact replication of the style with all of its characterlstic details and decoration. Rather, the goal should be to Incorporate the most distinctive character defining features of the style. AFFROMATE WILL - �r-� paitamt d Yull/Fp N �FirlrW INAFFROFMATE INFILL a � N broken b Nry� oYRVu�M builllnp New builders should become familiar with the various architectural styles in the neighborhood and particularly with those in the immediate vicinity of their property. Height and scale of existing homes should be considered. Height and scale are important considerations because new infill buildings are sometimes taller than one story and their height and bulk can impose on adjacent structures. The height of new buildings should be considered within the context of their surroundings. Buildings with greater height should consider setbacks at the second story to reduce impacts on adjacent single -story structures. Elevations All building elevations should be architecturally detailed. Elevations that do not directly face a street should not be ignored, nor should they receive only minimal architectural treatment. Porches Front porches are commonly found architectural features on most residences in Heninger Park. The incorporation of porches on new houses is encouraged for both practical and aesthetic value. These elements should be integrated to break up large front facades and add human scale. Garages Garages should be detached and constructed near the rear property of new homes. Offsetting the garage behind the front facade of the house, providing a side entry garage, or accessing the garage from the side or rear of the lot Is also appropriate. If the streetscape is such that all garages are detached and set back, the new garage should follow the same siting criteria. 55 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 61 of 71 Acknowledgements Prepared by the City of Santa Ana Planning Division and the Heninger Park Architecture[ Review Committee.

Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 66 of 71 HISTORY OF SANTA ANA'S BUNGALOW NEIGHBORHOOD In the early 1980s a movement to preserve and restore the neighborhood's architectural legacy was organized and was known as the "Birch Street Citizens for a Better Neighborhood:' Long time residents and newcomers alike had rediscovered the unique character and quality craftsmanship of Heninger Park's bungalow homes. They were alarmed by the increasing trend in the City to allow the demolition of houses to make way for the construction of large apartment buildings. Fearing the demise of the character of the neighborhood, as they knew It, and grieving the loss of irreplaceable well-built vintage homes, residents met to discuss the future of their neighborhood and make plans for its preservation. Residents believed that the architectural and historical character of the houses, churches, schools, commercial buildings, and neighborhood markets were one of the neighborhood's most important features. They developed a plan which Included requesting the City Council designate Heninger Park as a special zoning district to recognize and preserve the unique character. Preliminary work was done before bringing their request to the City Council. A systematic block - by -block, house -by -house historic resources survey was conducted. The survey methodology included photography, mapping, architectural descriptions, and historical research. A black - and -white photograph was taken of each building. Slides of many of the houses and buildings were taken to illustrate a permanent slide show of the Heninger Park neighborhood. Maps were prepared to illustrate four different types of Information including contributing buildings and noncontributing buildings. A brief paragraph was written describing the architectural style and details of each building and its contributive status. Each house was researched for historical significance in old city directories. This information included the year of construction, first owner's name and the name of subsequent owners, and the occupation and place of employment of the people and any children listed who had lived in the house. This amounted to a file on approximately 4,000 persons who lived In the Heninger Park neighborhood during Its developing years. In April of 1986, the homeowners of Heninger Park appeared before the City Council to request approval of special zoning and guidelines for their neighborhood. Based on Information presented by the neighborhood organization and City staff, the City Council officially created the Heninger Park specific development zone and guidelines. The language of the ordinance set forth standards for the restoration and revitalization of the exterior features of all properties. It was given the official designation Specific Development 40 or SD 40. The boundaries are First Street on the north, McFadden Avenue on the south, Flower Street on the west, and Sycamore Street on the east. The district is known as Santa Ana's Bungalow Neighborhood because of its many craftsman bungalow homes. 61 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 67 of 71 Appendix C Glossary of Terms Architectural and Planning Terms Preservation - Preservation is defined as the act or process of applying measures necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity, and materials of a historic property.
