The Owners hereby agree to furnish the City with any and all information requested
which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
S. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth
in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the

deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owners have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
-3-
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT
903 East Stafford Street
Santa Ana, CA 92701
Owners shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 yz) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
C. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, the City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by the
Owners, the City shall give written notice to the Owners by registered or certified mail, and if
such a violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the Deputy City Manager for
Development Services or designee within thirty (30) days thereafter, or if not corrected within
such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the breach or default, or default cannot be
cured within thirty (3 0) days (provided that acts to cure the breach or default may be commenced
within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently pursued to completion by the Owners),
then the City may, without further notice, declare a default under the terms of this Agreement
and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the obligations of the Owners
growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or federal, for injunctive
relief against any violation by the Owner or apply for such relief as may be appropriate.
b. The City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if the City does not
enforce or cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise
provided for in this Agreement or in the City's regulations governing historic properties are
available to the City to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by
the City of any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
other subsequent breach thereof or default hereunder.

Street, Assessor Parcel Number, 398-193-10, and more particularly described in "Exhibit A," in

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Queen Anne (Late Victorian)
The Queen Anne (Late Victorian) (also known as the Queen Anne Revival) dominated residential architectural design during the last
twenty years of the nineteenth century in the West, and was nearly as influential on early commercial buildings. Identifying features
include the front -facing gable roof; ornate decoration of wood or metal along the eave and in the gable end; avoidance of flat wall
surfaces through the use of applied ornamentation of wood or metal; and classical columns or pilasters. Multi -storied residential and
commercial examples often incorporated bay windows, sometimes topped with towers. The style borrowed heavily from late
Medieval models, with the addition of other regional interpretations. Some of the most well developed examples can be found in
California and in the southern states (McAlester, 263-268).
The Perry House is included in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property and has been categorized as "Contributive" because it
"contributes to the overall character" of the Logan neighborhood, a working class area that developed with vernacular homes of
modest scale and from the 1910s has been associated with the Latino community. Further, the Perry House "is a good example" of
Queen Anne (Late Victorian) influenced architecture, and "has not been substantially altered" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

An unusual roof configuration, consisting of a hipped section at the west end of the building and a side gable accented by a
central front gable over the eastern two-thirds, distinguishes this one-story cottage. Shiplap trimmed with corner boards
sheathes the building, with patterned shingles in the gable ends. A small vent pierces the eastern gable face. Two double -
hung windows are widely spaced on the fagade of the side -gabled wing and placed so that their heads abut the eaves.
Spanning the fagade of the west wing, a pent -roofed porch is enclosed by posts and a low wall covered in narrow clapboard.
The cottage appears to be unaltered.

The Perry House is architecturally significant as an intact example of its type, the vernacular Queen Anne (Late Victorian)
cottage. It is also historically significant as a contributor to the character of the Logan neighborhood that is defined by
working class homes of similar age, type, and scale. According to previous research, it was built by Lloyd Perry, a plasterer.
In 1912, George Reasoner occupied the house, followed by Rudolph and Eva Franke, who were related to the Frankes who
resided at 904 East Stafford. Rudolph, who lived briefly at 904, was employed like his relatives at the Griffith Lumber
Company where he was a sash and door maker. By 1918, the Frankes had left and Claude Stoddard, a weaver for the
Mission Woolen Mills on Washington Street, and Sarah Stoddard had moved into the house (Treasures .
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. Early growth and development were stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific
Railroad in 1878 and the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized
as one of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange.

*1310. Significance (continued):
Subdivided in 1887 as the Hawkins Addition, the small, working class neighborhood now known as Logan developed
adjacent to the railroad tracks in the east end of Santa Ana. Bordered by Lincoln Avenue, Santa Ana Boulevard, Santiago
Avenue, and what is now the Santa Ana Freeway, the neighborhood is characterized by unusually small lots upon which two
and three room cottages were built. Prior to 1910, residents of the area were almost entirely American and European -born
laborers and craftspeople. City directories listed area occupations such as mechanic, dressmaker, wood turner, pressman,
and plasterer. By 1910, forty percent of Logan households had Spanish surnames, and residents were employed primarily
in agriculture. This small Latino community, now identified as a barrio, was centered next to the tracks on Lincoln Street and
nearby Logan Street and the eastern end of Stafford. Anglos resided mostly in the northwestern corner of the area.
Neighborhood houses tended to be simple wooden structures of modest design. Vernacular interpretations included a mix
of Queen Anne, Stick/Eastlake, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman cottages. In 1929 Logan was zoned industrial to
encourage industry to locate away from downtown and nearer the railroad tracks, resulting in a mix of residential and
industrial uses. From 1950 until 1979, zoning restrictions actually prevented the construction of new homes, including home
additions. Following repeal of these restrictions in 1979, each parcel became individually zoned to allow more flexibility for
homeowners to use and improve their property.
Logan is significant as a neighborhood of Santa Ana that has historically been associated with the Latino community. It
survives as an enclave of late nineteenth and early twentieth century unpretentious housing of modest scale. The Perry
House is representative of the significant period of development of the Logan neighborhood, in terms of its age, scale, and
vernacular Queen Anne (Late Victorian) styling. It exhibits the decorated gable ends and elongated double -hung sash that
are among the characteristics of its building type. The Perry House is included in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Property and has been categorized as "Contributive." There are no obvious alterations to the house, which is remarkably
intact. Character -defining exterior features of the Perry House which should be preserved include, but may not be limited to:
materials and finishes (siding, shingling); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors; porch; and
architectural detailing.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, stricture or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
