THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The recitals above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as
findings by the City Council.

review under Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), as it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility the action may have a significant effect on the
environment. The ordinance establishes administrative and regulatory requirements related
to the modification, maintenance, and transfer of historic properties and does not authorize
physical construction or development. Additionally, the action is not a project pursuant to
Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a
direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
Section 3. Section 30-1 (Register of historical properties) of Chapter 30 of the
SAMC is hereby amended to read as follows:

in accordance with Section 30-2.5, designate as historic property any building
or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or
architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in section 30-2.
The commission secretary shall maintain a register which shall consist of
copies of each such resolution and which shall be known as the city register
of historical properties ("register"). The planning commission may at any time
repeal, revise, or modify any such resolution upon reconsideration of the
historical or architectural importance of the places therein described. For
CEQA purposes, consistent with State law, properties listed on the register
shall be presumed to be historical resources under Public Resources Code
Section 21084.1 unless otherwise determined by the lead agency.
Section 4. Section 30-1.5 (Definitions) of Chapter 30 of the SAMC is hereby
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 30-1.5. Definitions.

spatial arrangement, architectural detail, or environmental characteristic
that conveys the historic, cultural, or architectural significance of a historic
property or historic district. Character-defining features may include, but

Page 3 of 21
spatial relationships between structures and their setting. Character-
defining features shall be those identified in the California Department of

designation of the property, or as otherwise documented by planning
department staff or the City's consultants who meet the Secretary of the
Interior's Professional Qualification Standards for Architectural History or
Historic Architecture.
(d) Dangerous building shall have the same definition as the Uniform Code
for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings which may from time to time be
amended.
(e) Demolition by neglect means a condition in which a historic property has
not been physically razed or removed, but through the property owner's
willful or negligent acts or omissions, including failure to maintain the
property in accordance with the minimum maintenance standards of this
code, has deteriorated to the point that it is unsafe, uninhabitable, or
incapable of reasonable rehabilitation or preservation as a historic
resource, such that the resulting loss of structural or historic integrity, or
character-defining features is functionally equivalent to demolition.
(f) Hardscaping means such features, including, but not limited to, driveways
(including ribbon or Hollywood-style driveways), walking paths, planters,
patios, playing courts, parking areas, and internal circulation systems,
typically constructed with concrete, asphalt, paving stones, tiles, or wood.
(g) Historic property shall include a building, structure, object or site
designated as having historical significance and listed on the federal, state
or local register of historical properties, as well as those contributing
properties located in an historic district. A historic property shall include its
internal setting, as defined in this section.
(h) Internal setting means the portion of a parcel or parcels containing a
historic property that lies outside the footprint or footprints of existing
building(s) and that contributes to the property's historic character through
its spatial organization, landscaping, hardscaping, fencing, or relationship
to the principal structure. The internal setting includes those areas that are
visible from the public right-of-way, including front yard areas subject to
fencing regulations of this Code, or are otherwise identified as character-
defining in the property's designation record, California Department of
Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 series forms, or other documentation
accepted by the City.
(i) Landscape feature means a constructed or fabricated accessory item
added to a landscape, such as a pool, trellis, fountain, planter, or other

Ordinance No. NS-3498
Page 4 of 21
and trees.
(k) Local historic district means a collection or group of historic properties
within a defined area.
(1) Modification means any change, alteration, restoration, remodeling,
rehabilitation, construction, or relocation of the physical exterior of a
historic property. Modification shall not include ordinary repainting of
previously painted surfaces in the same or substantially similar color and
finish; provided, however, that repainting, overpainting, restoration,
alteration, concealment, removal, relocation, or destruction of a
designated object shall constitute a modification subject to this chapter.
(m) Owner means any person, co-partnership, association, corporation, or
fiduciary having legal or equitable title or any interest in real property.
(n) Primary facade means the principal exterior elevation of a historic property
that was intentionally designed to face a public street or other prominent
public space and that contains the primary entrance or the most
architecturally significant composition of doors, windows, and character-
defining features. A historic property may have more than one primary
facade where multiple elevations were designed to function as principal
elevations, including corner buildings or buildings with dual street
frontages. The determination of a primary facade shall be based on
historic documentation, architectural design, orientation, and the
property's historic relationship to the public right-of-way.
(o) Real property transaction means the sale or exchange of any real
property.
(p) Register of historical properties means the official list of historic properties
in the city.
(q) Routine maintenance means actions to preserve historic features without
changing design, materials, or appearance (e.g., patching roof, repainting
in like color, caulking). Work characterized as routine maintenance are
actions that do not require a building permit; maintenance work requiring
a building permit may be considered a minor exterior modification, for
which an applicant must obtain a certificate of appropriateness.
(r) Secondary elevation means an exterior elevation of a historic property that
is subordinate to the primary facade and was not intentionally designed to
serve as a principal public-facing elevation. Secondary elevations are
typically located along the side or rear of a historic property and generally
contain fewer or less prominent character-defining features than the
primary facade. A secondary elevation may nevertheless contain
character-defining features and shall not be presumed to lack historic
significance solely because it is not a primary facade.
Ordinance No. NS-3098
Page 5 of 21
(s) Substantially obstruct means to significantly diminish or block the visibility
of a historic property or its character-defining features from a public street
or sidewalk in a manner that alters the property's historic setting or public
presence. In determining whether a view is substantially obstructed, the
City may consider factors including, but not limited to, the height, massing,
and density of landscaping; distance from the public right-of-way; location
relative to key architectural features; seasonal and long-term vegetation
growth; and the degree to which the proposed landscaping interferes with
the ability to perceive the historic property as a whole.
(t) Substantially visible from the public right-of-way means that a structure or
modification would be visible from a public street or sidewalk without
obstruction by existing buildings, fencing, or existing mature landscaping
and would be of sufficient height, mass, or location to affect the visual
character of the historic property or its setting.
Section 5. Section 30-2 (Criteria for selection) of Chapter 30 of the SAMC is
hereby amended to read as follows:
Section 30-2. Criteria for selection.

substantially impair the character-defining features, historic
setting, or integrity of the historic property. Issuance of a
Certificate of Appropriateness pursuant to this subsection shall not
require a public hearing.

subject to administrative review and approval by the Executive
Director, or designee, and may include, but are not limited to:
a. Construction of a new accessory building, excluding
accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling
units, that would not be substantially visible from the public
right-of-way. Administrative review under this subsection
shall be limited to the architectural design, scale, massing,
materials, placement, and compatibility of the structure with
the historic property and its internal setting in order to
preserve character-defining spatial relationships and
historic context. Such review shall be consistent with the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of

Page 11 of 21
(b) Planning Commission Review
(1) No major exterior physical modifications or major modifications to
the internal setting of a historic property identified in subsections
(c) and (d) shall be permitted with respect to an historic property
until the planning commission approves such request by
resolution at a public hearing noticed in accordance with Section
30-2.5 and issues a Certificate of Appropriateness. The planning
commission shall issue the Certificate of Appropriateness upon
finding that the proposed modification(s) does not substantially
change the character and integrity of the historic property. A
project consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
the Treatment of Historic Properties will not substantially change
a character-defining feature of the property or the general
character and integrity of the historic property. The Secretary of
the Interior's Standards shall be the primary criteria for evaluating
proposed modifications. Where local guidelines exist, they shall
supplement but not conflict with the Secretary's Standards. The
minutes of the planning commission meeting shall serve as the
official record.
(c) The following major exterior physical modifications shall require Planning
Commission approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness:
(1) Demolition of a character-defining feature or portion of a historic
property;
(2) Construction of a new attached addition that:
a. Is located on, attached to, or substantially alters a primary
facade, except that on a property containing more than one
primary facade, the Executive Director, or designee, may
administratively approve an addition on an additional
primary facade upon finding that the addition is subordinate
in height, scale, and massing and does not substantially
impair the character-defining features, historic setting, or
integrity of the historic property; or
b. Is substantially visible from the public right-of-way and is
not subordinate in height, scale, and massing to the historic
property. For purposes of this section, an addition is
subordinate when it is visually secondary and smaller in
scale, massing, and prominence than the historic property
such that the addition does not overwhelm, obscure, or
compete with the historic property or its character-defining
featu res.
Ordinance No. NS-3098
Page 12 of 21
(3) Creation of new window or door openings, enlargement or infill of
existing openings, or modifications that substantially alter the
historic pattern of fenestration on a primary facade or other
elevation identified as character-defining in the property's
designation record and is substantially visible from the public right-
of-way;
(4) Alteration, relocation, concealment, removal, overpainting, or
destruction of a designated object;
(5) Any modification not otherwise identified in this section that the
Executive Director determines, based upon substantial evidence
in the record, would result in the demolition or substantial
impairment of a character-defining feature of the historic property.
(d) Major modifications to the internal setting of historic property that require
planning commission approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness may
include, but are not limited to:
(1) Construction of a new detached accessory building, excluding
accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, or
relocation of an existing building such that the new or relocated
building would be substantially visible from the public right-of-way.
Review by the planning commission shall be limited to the
architectural design, scale, massing, materials, placement, and
compatibility of the structure with the historic property and its
internal setting in order to preserve character-defining spatial
relationships, views, and the historic context of the site. Such
review shall be consistent with the powers and duties of the
planning commission as set forth in Section 2-350 of this Code
and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties.
(2) Changes to landscaping, hardscaping, and landscape features
where:
a. The feature has been specifically identified as character-
defining in the property's California Department of Parks
and Recreation Series 523 form prepared at the time of the
property's historic listing; or
b. The proposed work would substantially alter the historic
setting of a property categorized as Landmark.
(e) An application for exterior modification of a historic property or a
modification to the internal setting of a historic property shall be
accompanied by payment of an application fee set in such amounts as
shall be established by resolution of the city council.
Ordinance No. NS-3098

(f) The building official may determine a historic property is a dangerous
building. Modifications as determined necessary by the building official to
correct the dangerous building shall not require a Certificate of
Appropriateness. Modifications shall be consistent with the overall
architectural design and historic character of the structure and blend in
with the surrounding environment.
(g) The planning commission may impose and/or recommend conditions of
approval deemed reasonable and necessary on applications that are
subject to review and approval or recommendation by the planning
commission.
(h) Routine maintenance of historic properties, as defined by this chapter,
shall be exempt from the modifications requirements of section 30-6.
Section 11. Section 30-7 (Demolition of historic properties) of Chapter 30 of the
SAMC is hereby amended to read as follows:
Section 30-7. Demolition of historic properties.
(a) An application of intent to demolish an historic property shall be
submitted to the Planning and Building Agency. The planning
commission, at a public hearing noticed in accordance with Section 30-
2.5, shall review all applications for demolition permits for historic
properties. The commission shall investigate all feasible alternatives to
demolition. These alternatives include, but are not limited to:
(1) Seeking private citizens, local trusts, and other financial sources
who may be willing to purchase the structure for restoration or
relocation.
(2) Publicizing the availability of the structure for purchase for
restoration or relocation purposes.
(3) Exploring possible sites for relocation of the historic building if on-
site preservation is not possible.Any structure relocated under this
section shall not require a residential relocation permit, pursuant
to section 41-620 of this Code.
(4) Suggesting to the city council that the city purchase the structure
when private preservation or relocation is not feasible.
(b) All of the above items are to be completed within two hundred and forty
(240) days from the date of application submittal. After two hundred and
forty (240) days, or at the conclusion of the environmental review period,
whichever is longer, a demolition permit must be issued. Prior to the
issuance of the demolition permit, the applicant shall provide, to the
reasonable satisfaction of the commission, and at the applicant's sole
cost, a salvage/mitigation plan, complete photo-documentation of
Ordinance No. NS-3098
Page 14 of 21
archival quality and historical profile of the structure to be demolished,
prior to the scheduling of the demolition.
(c) The building official may determine a historic property is a dangerous
building. Such determination allows the waiver of planning commission
review and the required review period for demolition if the historic
property is declared a dangerous building.
A determination that a historic property is dangerous shall not preclude a
finding that demolition by neglect, as defined in this chapter, has
occurred. If the dangerous condition is a result of the owner's willful or
negligent acts or omissions, including failure to comply with the minimum
maintenance standards set forth in Section 30-8, the owner shall remain
subject to the remedies and enforcement provisions of this chapter,
including but not limited to the construction and planning prohibition
identified in subsection (d).
(d) If the building official determines the historic property meets the definition
of demolition by neglect as set forth in this chapter, or that a historic
property has been wholly or partially demolished, removed, or materially
altered without the required permits or approvals, and further determines
that the property is a dangerous building and must be removed as a result
of the owner's or owner's agent's failure to adhere to minimum
maintenance standards for historic properties as identified in Section 30-
8, the following remedial actions shall be taken:
(1) The building official shall notify the owner, or owner's agent, in
writing of the violation within ten (10) business days of the
determination. The owner shall effect the removal and disposal of
the deteriorated building(s) or structure(s) within sixty (60) days
from the date the determination becomes final, including the
conclusion of any appeal process. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
where the building official determines that an immediate threat to
public health or safety exists, the building official may require
corrective action within a shorter timeframe as necessary to
address the hazard;
(2) In addition to any other remedies provided in this chapter, where
the building official determines that a historic property has been
demolished as a result of demolition by neglect, or has been
wholly or partially demolished, removed, or materially altered
without the required permits or approvals, the Executive Director
of the Planning and Building Agency, or designee, may impose a
prohibition on the issuance of discretionary planning approvals
and building permits related to new construction on the affected
property for a period not to exceed three (3) years.
The duration of the prohibition shall be determined by the
Executive Director, or designee, based on substantial evidence in
Ordinance No. NS-3098
Page 15 of 21
the record. In determining the appropriate length of the prohibition,
the Executive Director, or designee, may consider factors
including, but not limited to:
a. The degree of deterioration and loss of historic
fabric;
b. Whether the demolition was willful, negligent, or
unavoidable;
c. The extent to which the owner failed to comply with
prior notices, citations, or orders;
d. Any efforts made by the owner to preserve or repair
the historic property;
e. The economic feasibility of repair or maintenance
prior to demolition;
f. Whether strict imposition of the maximum prohibition
would deprive the owner of all reasonable use of the
property;
g. The impact of the demolition on the historic district
or surrounding community; and
h. Any other relevant factors.
The prohibition period shall commence on the date the City
obtained actual knowledge of the demolition or the date of final
determination following any appeal, whichever is later. Ministerial
permits required to protect public health and safety or to stabilize
the site shall not be subject to this prohibition.
(3) During the prohibition period, the owner, or the owner's agent,
shall maintain the property in compliance, including any vacant
condition resulting from demolition, with the requirements of
Chapter 8, Division 3, Article 10 of this Code, as it may be
amended from time to time.
(e) The owner of a historic property may appeal any city official's
determination pursuant to the appeal procedures set forth in Chapter 3
of this Code. Any such appeal shall be filed within ten (10) calendar days
of the date of the written determination. The filing of a timely appeal shall
stay enforcement of the determination unless the building official
determines that an immediate threat to public health or safety exists. The
hearing officer(s) shall affirm, modify, or reverse the determination based
on substantial evidence in the record.

but not be limited to, a review of the California Department of Parks and
Recreation Series 523 forms prepared at the time of the property's

and any available public information.
(1) Deterioration of exterior walls, foundations or other vertical

Page 17 of 21
(11) Neglect, deterioration, or intentional damage to live vegetation or
landscape elements identified as character-defining, where such
neglect results in the loss of historic integrity, character, or
eligibility of the historic property.
(b) The building official may determine that historic property exhibits one or
more conditions listed in subsection 30.8(a), or another condition of
deterioration, but is not dangerous to the extent that it would require

7(c).
