Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 15, 2024 – Special Meeting
Topic: HPPA No. 2024-02 – The Miller-Taylor House (2620 N. Flower 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 Thomas M. Harris for the property located at 2620 North Flower Street, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Thomas M. Harris is requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 2620 North Flower 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 Miller-Taylor House, consists of an existing one-story residence that reflects the Craftsman style, and is approximately 1,414 square feet in size on a 9,750-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 2). The Miller-Taylor House was added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) in 2007, categorized as “Key.” 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 2007, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Miller-Taylor House on the Register and within the “Key” category for its distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Character-defining exterior features of the Miller-Taylor House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (clapboard, shingles); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and doors and their surrounds where extant; [original] porch configuration and detailing, entry; and architectural details such as beams, rafters and bargeboards with shaped tails, porch posts, and vents.
Additional future improvements proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include repaving the driveway, constructing a period-correct two-car detached garage, and restoring the porch’s front (east) and south (side) facades to original condition based on historic photographs. During staff’s site visit, the following were noted and added to the Mills Act Agreement work plan: remove the south (side) façade’s non-original stained glass window and replace with a period-correct window, and inspect all original windows and framing to ensure they are in proper working condition and repair/replace as needed. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively and will maintain the property’s character-defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property.
As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.
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, landscaping upkeep, 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. 2024-39, 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 $1,269.35 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE : Craftsman Bungalow
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by The Craftsman magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stres sed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structu re. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; exte nsive use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports ; and broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s (McAlester, 453-463).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION
:
The Miller-Taylor House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “ Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an examp le of the Craftsman aesthetic (Municipal Code, Section 30-
2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, si ze, setting, and boundaries.) Set slightly above street level on a property rimmed by a low concrete retaining wall, this one-story Craftsman bungalow is screened from view by dense shrubbery. A cross-gabled roof of medium pitch caps the building. Rafters with shaped tails are exposed in the eaves. Carved braces and extended bargeboards trim the gable ends. An extremely shallow, shed-roofed dormer projects from the north half of the roof. Shingles face the gable ends, while narrow clapboard covers the b ody of the house above a sill line. Tucked into the peaks of the gables, triangular vents are pierced by narrow slits accented by jigsawn arrows. Nearly obscured by vegetation, the porch is sheltered beneath the front gable, which is supported by paired, battered posts set on a brick porch railing. The front door features narrow vertical channels of beveled glass. Windows on the side elevations appear to be a combination of one-over-one double-hung sash and casements; openings on the façade are hidden by foliage. A shed-roofed projection on the north elevation may mark the location of a secondary entry. The building permit record indicates that the house is substantially intact; the property is in fair condition. *P3b. Resource Attributes:

Also address integrity) The Miller-Taylor House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of a Craftsman residence and is historically notable as one of a handful of pre World War II homes in the area. It was built in 1917, according to City of Santa Ana records, making it the oldest known house in the immediate vicinity. City directories appear to confirm this date of construction. Initially listed in 1918 as located on the west side of North Flower Street, three [houses] north of Santa Clara, this was the home of Fred J. Miller, a baggageman with the Santa Fe railroad, and his wife Annie. In 1925, Fred Miller’s occupation was listed as “rancher” and his address was 2610 North Flower. This number apparently changed in 1930 to 2620, probably to accommodate the numbering of the houses built immediately to the south in the 1920s. After 1928, Mrs. Anna D.
Miller was the sole occupant listed in the directories. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.)

*B10. Significance (continued):
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 around the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The Miller-Taylor House is located in north Santa Ana, in the Morrison/Eldridge Park neighborhood. An irregularly shaped area straddling North Flower Street, Morrison/Eldridge Park is bounded by the Garden Grove (22) and the Santa Ana (5) freeways on the north and east, Sharon Road and Memory Lane on the south, and North Bristol Street on the west. With the primary exception of the 2600 block of North Flower Street, this area remained unsubdivided and presumably agricultural through World War II. According to the city directories and early maps, North Flower ended at Seventeenth Street until around 1915, when six homes were noted north of Seventeenth, including three north of Santiago Creek. By 1920, there were nine homes, including one (2610, later numbered 2620), in what would become the Morrison/Eldridge Park neighborhood. Construction of three additional homes on the 2600 block occurred between 1925 and 1930. Beginning with a handful of homes constructed on newly laid out streets in the first few years of the 1950s, the area exploded in the mid 1950s with the building of tracts of homes in the California Ranch style. Home building in the neighborhood tapered off in the 1960s and ended around 1972.
The Miller-Taylor House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Typical Craftsman features illustrated by the house include its cross-gabled roof configuration; decorative use of exposed structural and functional elements such as beams, rafters, and vents; and incorporation of a deep front porch and a dormer into the design. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of the Craftsman bungalow. Character- defining exterior features of the Miller-Taylor House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (clapboard, shingles); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and doors and their surrounds where extant; porch configuration and detailing, entry; and architectural details such as beams, rafters and bargeboards with shaped tails, porch posts, and vents. *B12.

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
