REQUEST FOR Historic Resources Commission Action HISTORIC RESOURCESCOMMSSIONMEETING DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2019 TITLE: HISTORIC PROPERTY PRESERVATION AGREEMENT NO. 2019-02 (MILLS ACT) FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2420 NORTH VALENCIA STREET {STRATEGIC PLAN NOS. 5, 2; 5,3} Prepared by Pedro Gomez Executive Director RECOMMENDED ACTION HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION SECRETARY APPROVED D As Recommended D As Amended D Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) with Steve Paul Wareham and Nadine Louise Wareham for the property located at 2420 North Valencia Street, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1 ). Request of Applicant Steve Paul Wareham and Nadine Louise Wareham are requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 2420 North Valencia Street that is currently listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. Project Location and Site Description The subject property, known as the Sorenson-Spielman House, consists of an existing single-story English Revival style residence that is approximately 1,261 squa re feet in si ze on a 7,300-square- foot residential lot (Exhibit 2). The home was added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties in 2009 and categorized as "Contributive." Analysis of the Issues 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. The property is listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as Contributive, making it eligible for a Mills Act agreement. The agreement provides monetary incentives 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 C-1

HPPA No. 2019-02 October3, 2019 Page 2 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 In 2009, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Sorenson-Spielman House on the historical register and within the "contributive" category. Character-defining features of the Sorenson-Spielman House determined architecturally significant include: materials and finishes (stucco finish); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; attached chimney; and architectural details such as the "half-hip" gables. The Sorenson-Spielman House qualified for listing under Criterion 1 of Sec. 30-2, of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the English Revival style. Additionally, the house was 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." Since its listing on the Historic Register in 2009, no modifications have been made to the structure. Further, 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. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15331, Class 31, as this action is designed to preserve a historic resource. Categorical Exemption No. 2019-71 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).

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 dustered in groups on the fa~ade and are often multi-paned casement in type. Almost exdusively a residential 'le, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: The Sorenson-Spielman 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).

Asymmetrical in design, this one-story stucco-clad residence features the typical characteristics of the English Revival style. Rectangular in plan, the house is capped with a steeply-pitched, side-gabled roof framed by two unevenly sized front-gabled wings with jerkinhead gables. Centered beneath the gable apex is a wood casement with plain wood surrounds. The smaller of the two gabled wings features a tripartite window with a fixed center and two casement windows on each side and all with a four light transom top. The entry opens onto small porch with nonoriginal porch, elevated by one step leading to a heavy wooden original door. Centered on the patio wall is a window echoing the tripartite design of the north wing. A tall, brick chimney marks the front elevation. Alterations include a new Colonial type post for the porch, a front patio area, and a fence that surrounds the front yard with stucco'ed pilasters, and inappropriate stucco finish (light dash). The garage is a two story structure with a pemJitted recreation room on the second story. The house is otherwise substantially unaltered and in good condition. *P3b.

Also address integrity) The Sorenson-Spielman House is architecturally notable as an intact and representative example of the English Revival style. The house and garage, valued at $4,000 on the building permit, were constructed in 1928 for Walter and Sena Sorenson. Mr. Sorenson was a painting contractor with an office located in the Builder's Exchange Building. They lived in the·home until 1938. Both Mr. And Mrs. Sorenson were buried at Fairhaven Memorial Cemetery. Mr. Sorenson died at the age of 85. The new owner of the home, Mr. Paul Gust/in, was a laborer, and he and his wife, Evelyn, occupied the residence until 1950. During that time, the Gust/ins established a restaurant at the location in 1947, giving it the address of 2620 Notth Valencia Street. It appeared in city directories as Gust/in Restaurant. In 1950, George and Janice Spielman bought the residence. Mr. Spielman was a salesman at that time. In 1952, he secured a job as the manager of the very popular Daniger's Tea Room located in the upper story of the Santora Building. The tea room was visited by many celebrities including Milton Berle and Lucy and Desi Arnaz. People traveled from Los Angeles to spend time in the tea room. From this position, Mr. Spielman was able to use his experience to launch an advertising firm called Perryman, Spielman, and Stoops. Their offices were located at 120 East Washington Street. In 1962, Mr. Spielman retired. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) 811. Additional Resource Attributes: (List altributes and codes). ___ _ *812.

State of California - The Resources Agency DEPARTM.ENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION Primary# ___________________ _ HRI# ___________________ _ CONTINUATION SHEET Page __J_ of__J_ 'Recorded by Hally Soboleske '810. Significance (continued): Trinomial Resource Name or# (Assigned by recorder) 'Date August 24, 2009 Sorenson-Spielman House IRI Continuation D 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 de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the anival of the Santa Fe Railroad and inc01poration 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 dolled with widely scattered fannhouses. The Sorenson-Spielman 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 neighbomood 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 constmcted towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning ofthe twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric intemrban 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 lime. 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 "fmit grower' as their occupation in the city directories. This pa Item 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 ca1penters 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 (C.H. 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 we stem half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single- family homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of the neighborhood and infill constmction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World War II. The Sorenson-Spielman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification ofthe distinguishing characteristics of the English Revival style. Typical features of this style illustrated by the house include its massing and asymmetrical composition; steeply-pitched roof with uneven rakes and shallow eave overhangs; stucco finish; wood-framed tripartite windows and double-hung sash windows; and attached chimney. The home also features hipped gable roof details. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because ii "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of the English Revival style in the Park Santiago neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture." Character-defining exterior features of the Sorenson-Spielman House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco finish should be restored to a smooth finish); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; attached chimney; architectural details such as the jerkinhead gables.
