DISCUSSION This action allows for the approval of a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract) which provides a potential property tax reduction allowing the property owner to reinvest the tax savings into the maintenance of the historic property (Exhibit A). Additionally, the agreement prevents inappropriate alterations to the historic structures (Exhibits B1 -B13). STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective #2 (expand opportunities for conservation and environmental sustainability) and Objective #3 (facilitate diverse housing opportunities and support efforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods). FISCAL IMPACT The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the property tax revenue account (No. 01102002-50011) to the City by an estimated amounts annually noted below, for a period of not less than ten years.

Request of Applicant June Magarro is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2315 North Benton Way to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana. Prolect Location and Site Description The subject property consists of a 1,626 -square -font, single -story Spanish Colonial Revival style residence and detached garage on a 7,000 -square -foot residential lot (Exhibit 1). Analysis of the Issues Historical Listing In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS -2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical 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 of the Santa Ana EXHIBIT B1 25B-17 HRCA No. 2016-06, HRC No. 2016-06 HPPA No. 2016-06 November 7, 2016 Page 2 Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Goodman House, has distinctive architectural features of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and was built in 1925 by an unknown builder. Character defining features of the Goodman House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes including stucco, clay roof tiles, original windows, tower feature, original front entry door, massing, and articulation (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it is a "good example of period architecture." Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property's assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: • Longterm preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional Incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. 25B-18 HRCA No. 20'16-06, HRC No. 2016-06 HPPA No, 2016-06 November 7, 2016 Page 3 Public Notification The subject site is located within the Floral Park Neighborhood. The president of this neighborhood association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, a Floral Park Neighborhood representative was contacted to ensure that they were notified of the project and to see if there were any areas of concern. No areas of concern were Identified by the neighborhood association representative, nor was there a request that the applicant present the project to a meeting of their members. The project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended actions are exempt from further review under Section 15331, Class 31, as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources. Categorical Exemption No. ER -2016-139 will be filed for this project.

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 -California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognisable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets, and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry, balconies and patios, window grilles, and wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Goodman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 3 for its distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period, that exemplify a particular architectural style or design features; and as a work of a notable architect whose style Influenced architectural development; (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.a.1 and 30-2.a.2).

Goodman owned the Goodman Tire Store in Fullerton at Second and Main Street and was the only Samson Tire distributor in Southern Calfiomia. In 1926, he paraded his $32,000 shipment of tires through town to show how much business he was doing. However, that same year, his sister was killed in an auto accident In Big Bear, and fell over 1,000 feet to her death. Her husband survived by being "thrown clear" before the car drove over the cliff. His wife, Olive, was well-known for her elaborate parties and was a member of the Ebeli Society. Mr. Goodman was a member of the Santa Ana Breakfast Club. In 1932, they took a three month long cruise on the "Mariposa" liner all around the Pacific, visiting Hawaii, the Phillipmes, Now Zealand, Japan, China, and Australia. In 1944, the Goodmans sold the house to Abraham and Ann Turk, Russian lmmegrants raised in Los Angeles. Mr. Turk worked for the Orange County Auto Parts and was trained as a machinist. They had two daughters, Anne and Loraine, both of whom played musical instruments and were schooled at the Santa Ana Conservatory of Music. They lived in the home until the 1960'x.

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered on the Intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange In 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Goodman House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. 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, pages 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" (Orange County Register, 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" (Oranne County. Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 Toro Marine Base during World War Il, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2007), Floral Park maintains its Identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens, The Goodman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it is a "good example of period architecture". Character defining features of the Goodman House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, exterior materials Including stucco, clay roof tiles, original windows, towerfeature, original front entry door, massing, and articulation. *B12.

Proiect Location and Site Description The subject property consists of a 2,029 -square -foot, single -story Minimal Traditional style residence and detached garage on a 7,260 -square -foot residential lot (Exhibit 1). Analysis of the Issues Historical Listing In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS -2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical EXHIBIT B2 25B-29 HRCA No. 2016-20, HRC No. 2016-19 HPPA No. 2016-08 November 7, 2016 Page 2 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 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Rogers -Warren House, has distinctive architectural features of the Minimal Traditional style, and was built in 1936 by Emmett Rogers. Character defining features of the Rogers -Warren House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes, front porch configuration, materials and finishes; roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; Hollywood drive (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties due to its characteristics of the Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial influences. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history' of Santa Ana, and "is a good example of period architecture." Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property's assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: • Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. 25B-30 HRCA No. 2016-20, HRC No. 2016-19 HPPA No. 2016-08 November T, 2016 Page 3 Public Notification The subject site is located within the Floral Park Neighborhood.

This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped -down version of the historic -eclectic styles popular In the 1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its efforts to codify and manufacture "a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could afford" (Greg Hlse, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-story In height, often with a front -gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof, with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials Include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi -light casement, double -hung, and picture windows with wood frames. The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House style, which they often resemble), Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often display decorative woad shutters and porch -roof supports. FI'uI'ul.l'1L+K!I�C�L The Rogers -Warren House is an example of the Minimal Traditional style of architecture with Colonial influences such as a bay window, made popular in the post WWII era. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because It "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an example of the transitional period in the mid to late 1930s in the Floral Park neighborhood "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated In the 1920s and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 Toro Marine Base during World War Il, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2007), Floral Park maintains Its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Rogers -Warren House qualifies for listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties due to Its characteristics of the Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial Influences. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and "is a good example of period architecture.' Character -defining exterior features of the Rogers -Warren House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, front porch configuration, materials and finishes; roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; Hollywood drive.

Proiect Location and Site Description The subject property consists of a 2,356 -square -foot, single -story Spanish Colonial Revival style residence and detached garage on a 7,800 -square -foot residential lot (Exhibit 1). Analysis of the Issues Historical Listing In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS -2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical EXHIBIT B3 25B-43 HRCA No. 2016-10, HRC No. 2016-09 HPPA No. 2016-10 November 7, 2016 Page 2 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 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Edwards House, has distinctive architectural features of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and was built in 1925 by Alison Honer. Character defining features of the Edwards House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes including stucco, clay roof tiles, original windows, tower feature, original front entry door, massing, and articulation (Exhibit 2), It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it is a "good example of period architecture." Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property's assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: • Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. 25B-44 HRCA No, 2016-10, HRC No. 2016-09 HPPA No. 2016-10 November 7, 2016 Page 3 Public Notification The subject site is located within the Floral Park Neighborhood.

Significance (continued). Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered on the Intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Edwards House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. 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, pages 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" (Orange County Register, 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" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture In a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 Toro Marine Base during World War II, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2007), Floral Park maintains Its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Dr, Edwards House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for Its characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it is a "good example of period architecture". Character defining features of the Dr. Edwards House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, exterior materials including stucco, clay roof tiles, original windows, tower feature, original front entry door, massing, and articulation. *B12.

Proiect Location and Site Description The subject property consists of a 3,603 -square -foot, single -story Ranch style residence and detached garage on a 22,120 -square -foot residential lot (Exhibit 1). AnaIVSIS of the Issues Historical Listing In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS -2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical 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 of the Santa Ana EXHIBIT B4 25B-55 HRCA No. 2016-11, HRC No. 2016-10 HPPA No. 2016-11 November 7, 2016 Page 2 Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Schultz House, has distinctive architectural features of the Ranch style, and was built in 1967 by Don Christenson. Character defining features of the Schultz House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (board -and -batten siding); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; and architectural details such as the courtyard walls, wood garage door, and beam roof supports (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of the Ranch House style in the Fisher Park neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture." Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property's assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: • Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. 25B-56 HRCA No. 2016-11, HRC No. 2016-10 HPPA No, 2016-11 November 7, 2016 Page 3 Public Notification The subject site is located within the Fisher Park Neighborhood.

The Ranch House originated in the 1930's designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the west's vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist's concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor -outdoor integration. While the style Includes several variants, a basic set of character -defining features applies to most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board -and -batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor -outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond -patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses. The Colonial Revival Variant of the Ranch House incorporates classic -revival details such as an elaborated entrance, with the main entry flanked by columns and/or pilasters and sidelights, six -aver -six double -hung wood sash windows, and a more symmetrical composition then the other stylistic variations of the Ranch House. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Schultz House also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property is an excellent example of a Ranch style structure. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Fisher Park neighborhood and, as an Intact and characteristic example of the Ranch House style, "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

It was designed by Ralph Allen, Fellow of the American Institute of Architecture. Allen was well known for his skills designing modern concrete buildings, most notably: Orange County Law Library, Century High School and Fremont Elementary School – all in Santa Ana. He and his firm have won numerous awards for their modernistic design, and specialized in institutional buildings. The Schultz residence is a rare example of Mr. Allen's foray into residential design. The house was built as a speculative venture by Don Christenson a prolific local contractor. The first occupants of the home were Carl and Ethel Schultz. Carl was borm in 1913 In Missouri, and educated at Calflornis State University at Long Beach. He became the Dean of Instruction at Santa Ana College and moved here directly after obtaining the position. He was well liked in the community, and lived in the home until his death In 1981, His estate continues to give annually to St. Joseph's Children's Hosptital of Orange County.

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the Intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Schultz House is located in Fisher Park. The homes of the Jack Fisher Park neighborhood were built following the overwhelming success architects had In the early 1950's, when building homes using "California Ranch" architectural design and features. Homes located in our prestigious neighborhood range from 1,500-6,000 sqft, with lot sizes from 6,500-25,000 sgft. Properties within this neighborhood boast some of the largest residential land use in any of the incorproated cities within Orange County and Southern California. Giving true meaning to the phrase, "Sprawling California Ranch" style homes.Jack Fisher Park was named after a local highly decorated World War i hero. The Schultz House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as "Contributive". Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of the Ranch House style in the Fisher Park neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture." Character -defining exterior features of the SchultzHouse that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (board -and -batten siding); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; and architectural details such as the courtyard walls, wood garage door, and beam roof supports.

The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Dever House, has distinctive architectural features of the Ranch style, and was built In 1942 by an unknown builder. Character defining features of the Dever House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco finish); roof design and detailing; original windows and doors where extant (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style. Typical features of this style illustrated by the house include its massing and symmetrical composition; medium -pitched roof with fascia boards; fine stucco finish; wood -framed casement and double -hung sash windows; and attached chimney. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of the Ranch House style in the Park Santiago neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture." Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3).

The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and Incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Dever House Is located in the Park Santiago neighborhood, near the present northern city limits of Santa Ana and substantially north of the original city core. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west, and the 1.5 freeway on the southwest. In large part, these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway route. This area remained primarily agricultural well Into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, "C Street" (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue, the only streets in the area at the time, The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents continued to list "rancher" or "fruit grower" as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman -era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided Into larger agricultural parcels held by approximately forty landowners. While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid -1920s, most of the present day streets west of Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people In service professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, Including the City Attorney (Z.B. West, Jr., 321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (GH, Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April 1942, when the Sanborn Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single- family homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 19206 and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of the neighborhood and Infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World War IL The Dever House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch style of architecture. The residence features several Ranch House qualities, making it a prime example of the transitional period between both styles of architecture. Typical features of this style Illustrated by the house include its massing and symmetrical composition; medium -pitched roof with fascia boards; fine stucco finish; wood -framed casement and doublo-hung sash windows,, and attached chimney. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of the Ranch style in the Park Santiago neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture." Character - defining exterior features of the Dever House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco finish); roof design and detailing,, original windows and doors where extant.

Proiect Location and Site Description The subject property consists of a 1,136 -square -foot, single -story English Tudor style residence and detached garage on a 6,600 -square -foot residential lot (Exhibit 1). Analysis of the Issues Historical Listing In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS -2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical 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 of the Santa Ana EXHIBIT B6 25B-79 HRCA No. 2016-16, HRC No. 2016-15 HPPA No. 2016-16 November 7, 2016 Page 2 Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Chick House, has distinctive architectural features of the English Revival style, and was built in 1923 by an unknown builder. Character defining features of the Chick House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes brick chimney; roof configuration; exterior materials; wing wall; original windows; and doors (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties for its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the English Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it is a good example of period architecture (Municipal Code 30-2.2). Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreernent generates a different valuation method in determining the property's assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: • Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood Allows for a mecharifsm to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.

English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their Tudor cousins, are rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the fagade and are often multi -paned casement in type.

The first owners were Charles and Almeda (Alma) Chick. Both were born in 1901 in the Midwest, Charles was a farmer by trade and they came to Santa Ana in the early 1920's to begin their lives together. Charles was a salesman for the Kafeterla Shoe Stare located at 404 West Fourth Street in the Lawrence Building. The store was the first of Its kind in Orange County where customers had the priviledge of finding their own shoe style and size from racks and trying them on by themselves. Charles retired by 1954, and they lived In the home until the mid 1970's when it was purchased by Mr. Contreras. Mr. Chick passed away in 1995 at the age of 94 in Oregon.

The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and Incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange In 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Chick House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. 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, pages 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" Gran -3r e County Register, 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" (Orange County_Registar, September'15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 Toro Marine Base during World War II, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park.

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered on the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated In the outlying areas, with cultivated flews and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Barlow-Caltis House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. 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, Now York In '1922 (Talbert, pages 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" ( range Coun y Rec isteq 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" (Orange County Register, September '15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 19208 and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 Toro Marine Base during Word War 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 Clare 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 II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2007), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Barlow-Caltis House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it is a "good example of period architecture'. Character defining features of the Barlow-Caltis House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, exterior materials Including stucco, clay roof tilos, original windows, decorative venting, original front entry door, massing, and articulation. *B12.

The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Dr. Geddes Residence, has distinctive architectural features of the Ranch style, and was built in 1959 by Hugh Neighbour, Junior. Character defining features of the Dr. Geddes Residence that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (board -and -batten siding); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; and architectural details such as the decorative shutters and Palos Verdes stone detailing (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of the Ranch House style in the Fisher Park neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture." Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property's assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include; • Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. 25B-104 HRCA No. 2016-19, HRC No. 2016-18 HPPA No. 2016-18 November 7, 2016 Page 3 Public Notification The subject site is located within the Fisher Park Neighborhood.

The Ranch House originated In the 1930's designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the west's vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist's concern for Informality, expressed In materials and plan, and indoor -outdoor integration. While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character -defining features applies to most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped In pian, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical In design, the Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board -and -batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs, Indoor -outdoor Integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond -patterned muntins. Ornamentation Includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses. The Colonial Revival Variant of the Ranch House incorporates classic -revival details such as an elaborated entrance, with the main entry flanked by columns and/or pilasters and sidelights, six -over -six double -hung wood sash windows, and a more symmetrical composition than the other stylistic variations of the Ranch House. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Dr. Geddes House also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property is an excellent example of a Ranch style structure. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "contributive" because It "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Fisher Park neighborhood and, as an intact and characteristic example of the Ranch House style, "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2), EXPLANATION OF CODES: • California Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, Technical Assistance Series # 7, "How to Nominate Resources to the California Register of Historical Resources," September A, 2001.) 5: it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values. • California Register Status Code: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, December 8, 2003,) 5S1: Individual property that is listed or designated locally.

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange In 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Dr. Geddes House is located in Fisher Park. The homes of the Jack Fisher Park neighborhood were built following the overwhelming success architects had in the early 1950's, when building homes using "California Ranch" architectural design and features. Homes located in our prestigious neighborhood range from 1,500-6,000 sgft, with lot sizes from 6,500-25,000 sqft. Properties within this neighborhood boast some of the largest residential land use in any of the incorproated cities within Orange County and Southern California. Giving true meaning to the phrase, "Sprawling California Ranch" style homes.Jack Fisher Park was named after a local highly decorated World War I hero. The Dr. Geddes House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as "Contributive". Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because It "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an Intact example of the Ranch House style in the Fisher Park neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture." Character -defining exterior features of the Dr. Geddes House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (board -and -batten siding); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; and architectural details such as the decorative shutters and Palos Verdes stone detailing.

The Ranch House originated in the 1930's design of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the west's vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist's concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor -outdoor integration. While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character -defining features applies to most examples.

The structure is sheathed in stucco and has an asphalt shingle roofing material. Overall, the home is fairly symmetrical, and though it does not follow the traditional L. shape or U - shape design typical to the Ranch style of architecture, it does have a rectangular massing that extends through the entire property. Articulation exists on all four elevations with walls shifting in depth on a vertical movement. The roof design is a traditional low pitch hip roof style which is common to the ranch style homes, with wide overhanging eaves. A small covered entry sits under the main roof pitch at the north elevation. The windows throughout the home including the two at the front elevation are large picture windows with fixed panes at the top and center and casement windows on either ends. A nondescript, detached garage sits to the rear of the lot, accessed from Benton Way. The driveway Is constructed of large natural stone which compliments the two additional walkways leading to the House.

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered on the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in '1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated In the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Warier House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. 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, pages 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" (Orange County Register, 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" (Orange County Re Ister, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture In a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 Toro Marine Base during World War II, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival In style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2007), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Wener House qualifies for listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties due to its characteristics of the Ranch style of architecture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and "is a good example of period arrhitecture." Character -defining exterior features of the Warier House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, window design, materials and finishes; roof configuration and detailing. 812.

Project Location and Site Description The subject property consists of a 1,247 -square -foot, single -story Craftsman style residence and detached garage on a 5,860 -square -foot residential lot (Exhibit 1). Analysis of the Issues Historical Listing In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS -2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical 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 of the Santa Ana EXHIBIT B10 25B-127 HRCA No. 2016-22, HRC No. 2016-21 HPPA No. 2016-20 November 7, 2016 Page 2 Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Urbine House, has distinctive architectural features of the Craftsman style and was built in 1923. Character defining features of the Urbine House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (wood siding and trim); original windows and doors, porch configuration and materials, massing, and fenestration patterns (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 because it possesses the characteristics of the Craftsman Bungalow style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive' because It "is a good example of period architecture." Mitis Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3).

The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property's assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. 25B-128 HRCA No. 2016-22, HRC No. 2016-21 HPPA No. 2016-20 November 7, 2016 Page 3 Public Notification The subject site is located within the Washington Square Neighborhood.

It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches Into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams In deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered In bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s (McAlester, 453-463). SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Urbine House is substantially intact and Is designed in the Craftsman Bungalow style of architecture, and has been categorized as "contributive" because it "is a good example of period architecture" in the Washington Square neighborhood.

Project Location and Site Description The subject property consists of a 1,423 -square -foot, single -story English Tudor style residence and detached garage on a 5,559 -square -foot residential lot (Exhibit 1). Anaysis of the Issues Historical Listinq In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS -2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical EXHIBIT B11 25B-141 HRCA No. 2016-24, HRC No. 2016-23 HPPA No. 2016-23 November 7, 2016 Page 2 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 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Yeagle House, has distinctive architectural features of the English Revival style, and was built in 1925 by an unknown builder. Character defining features of the Yeagle House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco finish); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; attached chimney (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. Typical features of this English Revival style illustrated by the house include its massing and asymmetrical composition; high-pitched roof with shallow eave overhangs; smooth stucco finish; wood -framed casement and double -hung sash windows; and attached chimney. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of the English Revival style in the Floral Park neighborhood and, "is a good example of period architecture." Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property's assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: • Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property 25B-142 HRCA No. 2016-24, HRC No. 2016-23 HPPA No, 2016-23 November 7, 2016 Page 3 Upon consideration of the application, It is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.

English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope In the process. Arches may be used for doorway designs and window treatments. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the fagade and are often multi -paned casement in type with a grid pattern. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical In composition with several projecting wings at the front facades. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Yeagle House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the English Revival style, Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because It "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an example of the English Revival style "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrive[ of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city In 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Yeagle House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados and walnuts, and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builderAilison 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, pages 353-356). "Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mc Honer purchased a parcel of land. And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana"(Orango Countv Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. "When built in the 19208, the Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange Countv Re ice. September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 19208 and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco -styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World Wer IG and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 1l years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2016), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many effluent and prominent citizens. The Yeagle House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. Typical features of this style illustrated by the house Include its massing and asymmetrical composition; high-pitched roof with shallow save overhangs; smooth stucco finish; wood -framed casement and double -hung sash windows; and attached chimney. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive"because It contributes to the overall character and history' of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of the English Revival style in the Floral Park neighborhood and, "is a good example of p0dod architecture." Character -defining exterior features of the Yeagle House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco finish); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; attached chimney. *B12.

Charles spent most of his adult life as a Captain with the Merchant Marines, and Abby also grew up In a sailing family. He was raised In Portland, Maine, and lived for sometime in New York City. The Oakes'traveled throughout the United States, finally settling in Santa Ana. Mr. Oakes wrote a book about his adventures while sailing, Including shipwrecks, dramatic rescues, and typhoons. He often gave talks In the community. By the 1950's, the home was sold to Robert Norman Scove and his wife Ruth. Robert had grown up just down the street in 1612 North Ross, with his mother Irma. He married Ruth while in his mid -30's, and together, they built a life in Santa Ana. Robert was a very active member of the Smedley Chapter of Toastmasters and frequently won debates and speech contests. He worked as an Assistant Secretary for Reliance Title. He was also a member of the Young Men's Christian Association, and was a talented singer. After his death In 1992, the house was sold a few more times before the current owners (Brad Harkins and Beth Bunnell) owned it. The $cove's are buried in Fairhaven Memorial in Santa Ana.

The elvic and commercial core of the community was centered on the Intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Oakes House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados and walnuts, and wldely 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, pages 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" Oran e Coun Re inter, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. "When built in the 1020s, the Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture In a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English ,rudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 Toro Marine Base during World War II, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 II years, Floral Park continued Its development as numerous smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 19509, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2007), Floral Park maintains Its Identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Oakes House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because It is a "good example of period architecture". Character defining features of the Oakes House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, exterior materials including stucco, clay roof tiles, original windows, front porch configuration, original front entry door, massing, and articulation. *B12.

Significance (continued): 'Date Novmber 3, 2016 © Continuation ❑ Update Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago do Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered on the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1689, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Stanley Bailey House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway, 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, pages 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" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. "When built in the 1920s, the Floral Parc homes were the most lavish and expensive In the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 19208 and 1930s: Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 Toro Marine Base during Word War II, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 largo, Colonial Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post -World War II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2007), Floral Park maintains its Identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Stanley Bailey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 and 2 for Its distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style, and as a work of a notable architect: J. C. Lansdowne. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" because "the building appears to be eligible for the National Register" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Characterdefining features of the Stanley Bailey House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, exterior materials including stucco, turret, clay roof tiles, arches leading to the front entry, original windows, decorative venting, original front entry door, massing, and articulation. *B12.
