Sharon Road Santa Ana, CA 92706 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: Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose. 2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible. 3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged. 4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment. These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected. 5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity. 6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or structures. 7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken. 8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological resources affected by, or adjacent to any project. 9. Contemporary design for 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 M MILLS ACTAGREEMENT 1222 W. Sharon Road Santa Ana, CA 92706 size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or environment. 10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired. to- COTC PROCESSING FORM AGREEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS TO: CLERK OF THE COUNCIL OFFICE FROM: DEPT.: Planninq & V6 NOV 16 AN 7-- 56 P: M20 PROJECT MANAGER: Rosa Barela c/o Hally Soboleske EXT.: 2705 AGREEMENT NUMBER (if amendment): A / N N/A AMENDMENT NUMBER (if applicable): ❑ 1sT ❑ 2ND ❑ 3RD ❑ NAME OF CONSULTANT: AMOUNT: Owner: Troy & Kim Learning ❑ OVER $25,000' (A) COUNCIL APPROVAL DATE: November 15. 2016 ❑ UNDER $25,000* (N) ITEM #: 25F - 2 TERM OF AGREEMENT- EFFECTIVE DATE: Nov. 15, 2016 TERMINATION DATE: SIGNATURES REQUIRED: ❑ VENDOR ❑ AGENCY ❑ CITY ATTORNEY ❑ OTHER (INSURANCE APPROVAL REQUIRED BY CAO PRIOR TO SUBMITTING TO COTC) INSURANCE REQUIRED: ❑ YES �I NO (Provide City Attorney Office approval) El AUTO ����/❑l CGL (Commercial General Liability) ❑ PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY ❑ WORKERS COMPENSATION COMMENTS: Requires David Cavazos' notarized signature.
