Topic: HPPA No. 2023-08 – The Gilmaker Block (302 W. Fourth Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) with Jeff Pintar, representing 4th and Broadway OZ SPE, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability, for the property located at 302 West Fourth Street, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Jeff Pintar, representing 4th and Broadway OZ SPE, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability, is requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of Santa Ana for an existing commercial property located at 302 West Fourth Street that is currently listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Gilmaker Block (which is one building addressed as 302-308 ½ West Fourth Street and 324 North Broadway), consists of an existing single- story 8,863-square-foot commercial building on a zero lot line. The building is an appropriately rehabilitated example of the brick vernacular commercial style that was prevalent on smaller commercial buildings in towns across the west (Exhibit 2). The Gilmaker Block is a contributor to the National Register-listed Downtown Santa Ana Historic District. The property is also individually listed as No. 244 on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”). It was placed on the Register in 2001 and was categorized as “Key.” Although the resolution and accompanying executive summary approving the Gilmaker Block as No. 244 on the Register could not be located, the meeting minutes for the Historic Resources Commission hearing dated March 1, 2001, approving the Gilmaker Block for listing on the Register, is attached to this report.

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 Register and categorized as Key, 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 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 2001, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Gilmaker Block on the Register and within the “Key” category because of its distinctive architectural style and quality, and being characteristic of a significant period in the history of the City of Santa Ana.
Character-defining exterior features of the Gilmaker Block that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: brick exterior; glazed brick trim; parapet; bay divisions articulated by piers; and architectural ornamentation.
In May 2023, the property received approval by Santa Ana’s Historic Resources Commission for an historic exterior modification application (HEMA), HEMA No. 2023-02, consisting of renovating the existing commercial structure to accommodate three retail spaces and one restaurant. Additionally, the HEMA included exterior modifications consisting of a new 4,056-square-foot rooftop addition and 1,632-square-foot rooftop outdoor seating area with trellis as part of the new restaurant use. All approved exterior modifications were consistent with the Secretary of Interior Standards (SOIS) for Rehabilitation. Per the Conditions of Approval for HEMA No. 2023-02, staff will ensure that the proposed work will be completed in tandem with a qualified historic architect. The architect shall monitor the site monthly and provide updates to Planning Division staff during the entire construction period to ensure that the project is executed per the plans and follows the SOIS. Staff will ensure that all work is completed sensitively and will maintain the property’s character defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property.
Future improvements proposed by the property owner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include all work approved as part of the May 2023 HEMA (interior and exterior modifications along with rooftop addition with trellis). The full improvement list, titled Attachment 5 - Proposed Structure Improvements– 302 West Fourth Street, is attached.

Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features, painting, etc. These improvements will be subject to review and approval by staff. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2023-82, will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $4,123.35 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

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 Historic Resources Commission c – 17 9/7/2023v

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.
