DISCUSSION In September 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-050 to temporarily reduce fees for a Historic Property Preservation Agreement by 50 percent and waive the fee for private party nominations of properties to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The fee reduction program was approved for a period of one year and was intended to encourage and promote historic preservation. In August 2015, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-039 to extend the fee reduction program until August 4, 2017. City Council did not reauthorize the waiver and temporary reduction of certain Historic Application fees. Thus, as of August 4, 2017 the Historic Listing Application fee of $5,597.24, and the Mills Act Application fee of $4,257.40 were reinstated. City staff will be conducting a survey of other City historic programs and related fiscal impacts, and providing City Council with recommendations to modify Santa Ana's Historic Preservation Program practices in the early 2018. 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 25G-1 Historic Property Preservation Agreement December 5, 2017 Page 2 historic property (Exhibit A).

Johnson, Trustees of the Johnson Family Revocable Trust, are requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 927 West Twentieth Street to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana. Project Location and Site Description The subject property is located on the north side of West Twentieth Street in the West Floral Park neighborhood. The site consists of a 1,990 -square -foot, Ranch Style residence and detached garage on a 7,560:square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 1). Analysis 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 A 25G-3 HRCA No. 2017-29, HRC No. 2017-28 HPPA No. 2017-33 November'9, 2017 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 as the property is 61 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the E. A. Swanson House, is located within the West Floral Park neighborhood boundaries and has distinctive architectural features of the Ranch Style. The residence was built In 1956 by notable builder Roy Russell. West Floral Park acquired its current identity as a neighborhood of expansive, California Ranch Style houses in the years following 1947. Development started ,slowly, with around two dozen homes being built on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets between 1947 and 1950. Construction boomed during the 1950s and 1960s. West Twentieth Street began to be developed circa 1956-1962, according to listings in the city directories at the time. One builder In particular has come to be associated with West Floral Park: Roy Rodney Russell. The son of Roy Roscoe Russell, who developed much of Victoria Avenue in Floral Park, Roy Rodney Russell formed a partnership with his father, called Roy Russell and Son, Builders, in 1945. They began building homes on speculation, usually around 15 or 20 each year. Following the death of his father in 1965, Roy Rodney Russell continued to build, mostly custom homes and many of them In West Floral Park. Character defining features of the E. A. Swanson House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes; one -and -a -half story height; asymmetrical facade; side -gabled roof (including configuration, intersecting front gables, detailing such as exposed rafters); exterior materials (wood and brick); entry porch (configuration, materials, front door, details such as turned wood column); fenestration (horizontal, multi -light, metal -framed windows); shed -roof canopies over side entry and window; and front walkway, including brick stairs to porch (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of West Floral Park and "is a good example of period architecture" as an intact example of the Ranch Style. 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. 25G-4 HRCA No. 2017-29, HRC No. 2017-28 HPPA No. 2017-33 November 9, 2017 Page 3 The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange forthe owners 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 iriiprovement 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 The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. Public Notification The'subject site is located within the West Floral Park Neighborhood Association boundaries. The president of this neighborhood association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, 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 a historic resource. Categorical Exemption No. ER -2017-132 will be filed for this project. Strategic Plan Alignment Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 5 Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective No. 2 (expand opportunities for conservation and environmental sustainability) and Objective No. 3 (facilitate diverse housing opportunities and support efforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods).

REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION I C13 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch Style Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch Style house dominated post -World War II residential expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1070s. The Ranch Style 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. GenerallyL- 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 Style Is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board -and -batten siding, high brick foundalions,,art stone, and wood shako 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 muritins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses. SUMMARYICONCLUSION: The E.A. Swanson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of Ranch Style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it 'contributes to the overall character and history" of the West Floral Park neighborhood and "is a good example of period architecture," representing Ranch Style in Santa Ana (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATIONCf3 _ CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: ❑ Not for Publication 0 Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ❑ Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch Style Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch Stylehouse dominated post -World War 11 residential expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s; The Ranch Style 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 though a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the Ranch Style 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. SUMMARYICONCLUSION: The E.A. Swanson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of Ranch Style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the West Floral Park neighborhood and "is a good example of period architecture," representing Ranch Style in Santa Ana (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Locafod an the north side of West Twentieth Street in a post -World War 11' neighborhood of mostly Ranch Style houses, the building is capped by a side -gabled roof of moderate pitch. 'rho roof is split into throe sections, with the end porlions set back from the central section. Smaller front gables top vrindows on the east and west sides of the fagade (south elevation). Wide horizontal siding clods most of the structure, accented by panels of brink in the porch arca and framing a largo picture window wrest of the main entry. Sheltered by the overhang of the main roof. which is supported by a slender, turned wood column, the porch is offset from the cantor of the l agade towards the east and contains (he wood and glass front door flanked by diamond -paned, half -height side lights. Rafters are visible in the slightly overhaggtng eaves. A couple of shallow, brick -paved steps lead from the parch to a straight pattnvay through the front yard to the sidewalk. The large picture window to the west is characterized by metal -framed, multi -light, horizontal sash. Smaller windows below tho'front gables on the east and west are similarly'metal-framed, mull -fight horizontal sash. Asecondary entry and a window on tire east elevation are shaded by shed -roofed canopies supported by rustic brackets. The ddvoway runs along the east side of the house to a detached garage, to which a second story was added In 1962. The only other noticeable alteration is the 2004 replacement of a wood shako roof with composition roaring. The property is attractively landscaped and is In excellent condition. 'P3b.

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site an pan 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 oast of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. Since the second hall of ilia twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the E. A. Swanson House is located has been known as West Floral Park. Located northwest of the historic core of Santa Ana, this residential neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower Street on the east and North Bristol Street on the we st Prior to World War 11, the area was agricultural, divided into a few large landholdings devoted primarily to the, cultivation of oranges, walnuts, and apricots. Traces of this earlyrim remain in the form of two original farmhouses (1911 Westwood Street and 2402 North Flower Street) and In a few large parcels along Flower Street. During the 1920s and 1930s a handful of houses woro erected on Baker, Bristol, and Flower Streets; and tyro municipal facilities, the City Water Works pumping plant and the City/County Aminal Sheller, were buil! at 2315 and 2321 North Bristol Street. West Floral Park acquired its current identify as a neighborhood of expansive, California Ranch Style houses in the years following 1947. Development starfed slowly, with around two dozen homes being built on Baker, Olive, Towner. and Westwood Streets between 1947 and 1950, Construction boomed during the 1950s and 1960§: West Twentieth Street began to be developed elrca 1956-1962, according to listings in the city directories at the time. One bdflderin particular has come to be associated with West Floral Park: Ray Rodney Russell. The son of Roy Roscoe Russell, who developed much of Victoria Avenue in Floral Park, Roy Rodney Russell formed a partnership with his father, called Roy Russell and Son, Builders, in 1945. They began building homes on speculation, usually around fifteen or twenty each year. Following the dealt? of his father in 1965, Roy Rodney Russell continued to build, mostly custom homes and many of them in West Floral Park He retired in 1993. The E. A Swanson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties imdor.Critorion i for Its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch Style. Of particular Interest in this regard are the horizontal orientation of the design, massing under a side -gabled roof, combination of woad and brick on the exterior walls, o/l-center entry shattered by fire main roof, large front picture window, and detailing suggestive of the Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive"because it "contributes to the overall character and history' of West Floral Park and 'is a good example or period architecture"as an intact example of the. Ranch Style. Character doming features of the E. A. Swanson House include: ono -and -a -hall story height; asymmetrical fagade; side -gabled roof (including configuration, Intersecting front gables, detailing such as exposed rollers; exterior materials (wand and brick); entry porch (configuration, materials, front door, details such as turned wood column); and fenestration (horizontal, multi-light,'metal- framed windows); shed -roof canopies over side entry and wfndoir and front walkway, including brick stairs to porch.
