Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana does hereby find, determine
and declare as follows:
A. Since the establishment of the City of Santa Ana Historic Register, staff
services required to place a private property on the Register have been
provided for free.
B. In the almost 10 years that the program has been in existence the City,
through a combination of City-initiated and self-nominated applications, has
added over 540 properties to the Historic Register.
C. Given the City's current and future projected budget status, the amount of
staff work required to place private properties on the Historic Register, and
the current inventory of properties already listed on the Register, staff
believes that it is now prudent to institute a fee for private party nominations
of properties to the City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.

Code to read in full as follows:
Sec. 30-2.4. Same--Filing fees.

structure, object or site for inclusion on the city register of historical
properties or appeal to the city council shall be accompanied by a filing fee.
No application shall be accepted for filing without the required fee, except
that all governmental agencies are exempt from the fee requirement. The
city council shall from time to time by resolution adopt a schedule of fees to
be charged, a copy of which shall be maintained in the office of the planning
