Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 68 years old and is a sound example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Buckheim House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Ranch-style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated May 26, 1956, and indicates it was built as a single-family residence and garage for owner Robert F. Buckheim for $25,000. The contractor was Hugh M. Neighbors, Jr. Although available sources do not confirm the property's designer, it is possible Neighbors, a builder since 1946, designed the property as he was known to have included the design of custom houses as part of his building practice between the late 1940s and early 1960s (Santa Ana Register August 21, 1946, December 11, 1948, The Register July 4, 1954, August 30, 1959, December 16, 1962). A review of City of Santa Ana property ownership data shows that Buckheim family, including Robert and Marion K. Buckheim, owned the property until 2009, when it was acquired by Charles and Molly Martin, the property's current owners.
The Buckheim House is a highly intact example of a one-story, Ranch-style, single-family residence with a detached garage. Constructed on a generally rectangular plan, the residence is capped with a cross-hipped roof with wood shake shingles and moderate to broad eaves. Cladding on the front-facing south façade is principally board-and-batten but also includes fieldstone-veneer wainscoting and within the full height of the recessed porch. Use of such fieldstone cladding is repeated in the exposed internal chimney, an integrated planter on the south façade, and a short blade wall extending toward the driveway. Secondary-façade cladding alternates between stucco and board-and-batten.
The front recessed front entrance includes a door with molded paneling and a fanlight, flanked by similar partially glazed panels, all of which appear non-original per visual observation. Windows are wood casements throughout, and have been replaced in-kind at the rear of the house. Also at the rear of the residence, a wood-framed sliding glass HRCA No. 2024-07, HRC No. 2024-05, HPPA No. 2024-10 – Buckheim House (1113 W.

door opens north toward a landscaped backyard featuring a below-ground swimming pool. The residence is adjoined to the detached garage by a covered walkway with a gable-roof structure. The walkway is separated from the adjacent backyard by a breeze- block partition.
The detached garage, located northeast of the residence, has an appearance and materials generally consistent with those of the residence. Specifically, the rectangular- plan building culminates in a pyramidal roof with shake shingles and is clad entirely in stucco. The glazed, paneled garage door at its primary (south) façade fronts a long, paved driveway leading to West Riviera Street. There are additionally three standard-size wood doors, two on the east façade, and one on the north. A single steel casement window is present on the east façade.
Character-defining features of the Buckheim House include, but may not be limited to:
generally rectangular plan; asymmetrical primary façade at the south; moderate-pitch hipped roof with wood shake shingles; broad roof overhang; board-and-batten, stucco, and fieldstone veneer exterior cladding; fieldstone-veneer-clad chimney, integrated planter, and blade wall; wood casement windows; recessed front (south) entrance with fieldstone veneer and board-and-batten cladding; detached garage; covered walkway linking residence and garage and featuring a gable roof shelter with exposed trusswork; front yard lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs, and backyard with landscaping, breeze-block partition, and swimming pool. The Buckheim House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. Located in West Floral Park, the house cost $25,000 to build in 1956. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it is a good example of the Ranch style and contributes to the architectural character of the neighborhood.
Mills Act Agreement
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 (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. 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:

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post-World War II residential expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch House originated in the 1930s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the West’s vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist’s concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor-outdoor integration. While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying roof heights. Generally L- shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board-and-batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor-outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond-patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Buckheim House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it is a good example of the style and contributes to the historical and architectural character of its neighborhood. (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The Buckheim House is a highly intact example of a one-story, Ranch-style, single-family residence with a detached garage (Figure 1). Constructed on a generally rectangular plan, the residence is capped with a cross-hipped roof with wood shake shingles and moderate to broad eaves. Cladding on the front-facing south façade is principally board-and-batten but also includes fieldstone-veneer wainscoting and within the full height of the recessed porch (Figure 2). Use of such fieldstone cladding is repeated in the exposed internal chimney, an integrated planter on the south façade, and a short blade wall extending toward the driveway (Figure 3). Secondary-façade cladding alternates between stucco and board-and-batten. The front recessed front entrance includes a door with molded paneling and a fanlight, flanked by similar partially glazed panels, all of which appear non-original per visual observation (Figure 4). Windows are wood casements throughout, and have been replaced in-kind at the rear of the house (Figure 5). Also at the rear of the residence, a wood-framed sliding glass door opens north toward a landscaped backyard featuring a below-ground swimming pool (Figure 6). The residence is adjoined to the detached garage by a covered walkway with a gable-roof structure. The walkway is separated from the adjacent backyard by a breeze-block partition.

Significance: Theme Residential ArchitectureArea Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1956 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Buckheim House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Ranch-style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated May 26, 1956, and indicates it was built as a single-family residence and garage for owner Robert F.
Buckheim for $25,000. The contractor was Hugh M. Neighbors, Jr. Although available sources do not confirm the property's designer, it is possible Neighbors, a builder since 1946, designed the property as he was known to have included the design of custom houses as part of his building practice between the late 1940s and early 1960s (Santa Ana Register August 21, 1946, December 11, 1948, The Register July 4, 1954, August 30, 1959, December 16, 1962). A review of City of Santa Ana property ownership data shows that Buckheim family, including Robert and Marion K. Buckheim, owned the property until 2009, when it was acquired by Charles and Molly Martin, the property's current owners.

*P3a. Description (continued):
The detached garage, located northeast of the residence, has an appearance and materials generally consistent with those of the residence. Specifically, the rectangular-plan building culminates in a pyramidal roof with shake shingles and is clad entirely in stucco (Figure 7). The glazed, paneled garage door at its primary (south) façade fronts a long, paved driveway leading to West Riviera Street. There are additionally three standard-size wood doors, two on the east façade, and one on the north. A single steel casement window is present on the east façade. *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 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.
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Buckheim House is located has been known as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower Street on the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time, the area was primarily agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was improved with houses during the 1920s and 1930s, contained only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315 North Bristol Street, and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street. Between 1947 and 1950, around two dozen homes were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed throughout the neighborhood during the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.
The Buckheim House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. Located in West Floral Park, the house cost $35,000 to build in 1956. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it is a good example of the Ranch style and contributes to the architectural character of the neighborhood (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3). Character-defining features of the Buckheim House include, but may not be limited to: generally rectangular plan; asymmetrical primary façade at the south; moderate-pitch hipped roof with wood shake shingles; broad roof overhang; board-and-batten, stucco, and fieldstone veneer exterior cladding; fieldstone-veneer-clad chimney, integrated planter, and blade wall; wood casement windows; recessed front (south) entrance with fieldstone veneer and board-and-batten cladding; detached garage; covered walkway linking residence and garage and featuring a gable roof shelter with exposed trusswork; front yard lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs, and backyard with landscaping, breeze-block partition, and swimming pool. *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, and 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. 2 2
