MILLS A CT A GREEMENT
2424 North Riverside Drive
Santa Ana, CA 92706
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

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 (30) 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

Located on the south side of North Riverside Drive, the building is a one story, single-family residence constructed in the

entry. The roof has little to no eaves, and is clad in wood shingles set in a staggered pattern. The exterior is clad in stucco
with decorative indentations across the elevations, creating a texture most closely resembling a combination of the trowel
sweep and briar, as defined by the Portland Cement Association's Plaster/Stucco Manual. The primary entry is centrally
located on the north elevation and features an arched entryway with a wood door that comes to a top central point. The
windows on the primary facade are multilight casement, one is flanked by decorative shutters, another features a wood
balustrade across its lower half. The parcel is landscaped with a lawn, plantings lining a concrete path to the entry, and spiral
topiaries flanking one of the windows. To the east of the house is a concrete driveway that leads to a detached garage. The
building and overall property is in good condition.

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 K. H. Sutherland House is 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 and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial
Revival. 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 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in
the neighborhood he had helped to 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 11 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 Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The K. H. Sutherland House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the French Eclectic style, and under Criterion 4.b for its association
with a significant figure in the history of Santa Ana. Typical features of the French Eclectic style illustrated by the house
include its asymmetrical composition; patterned stucco walls; pointed door, multi -paned casement windows; and wood
shingle roof. Additionally, the house has been categorized as Key" because it is an intact example of a French Eclectic style
residence in the Floral Park neighborhood, and "has a distinctive architectural style and quality." The building is also
categorized as "Key" because it is associated with a significant person... in the city," as K.H. Sutherland served as Orange
County deputy health officer while he lived in the house. Character -defining exterior features of 2424 North Riverside Street
that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to original windows where extant; pattern in the stucco walls; roof
shape and materials; arched entryway opening; brick chimney.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: French Eclectic
Although the French Eclectic style resembles the contemporaneous Tudor Revival and shares some of the same
medieval European precedents, it is distinguished from its English counterpart by its roof treatment. A hipped roof of
steep pitch is present in most examples, although one subtype may incorporate a gabled roof in association with a
conical -roofed tower. Tall chimneys are often seen, as are dormers, which can emerge from the roof or be set flush with
the wall, breaking the cornice. Arched openings for doors and windows are common. More formal versions feature
symmetry, Renaissance detailing, and quoins at corners and around arches. Examples based on more rural prototypes
are generally asymmetrical. Exterior walls may be stucco, brick, or stone, and may be adorned with half-timbering.
Windows are usually casements in type. (McAlester, 386-395).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
As a contributor to the North Broadway Park Historic District, which has been determined eligible for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places, the K.H. Sutherland House has been listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.
The property also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the French Eclectic style, and under Criterion 4.b for its association
with K.H. Sutherland, an important doctor in Santa Ana history. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key"
because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality' as a rare example of the French Eclectic style in Santa Ana,
and "is associated with a significant person ... in the city" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

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, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for 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.
