Agenda packet — Santa Ana City Council, November 4, 2025 (part 3 of 5)

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 SAMC (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 SAMC, as the structure is 51 years old and is associated with an individual significant to the history of Sant Ana. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

The Hector Godinez House is historically significant for its association with its original owner and builder, Hector G. Godinez. Building permit data indicates the property was built in 1974 by owner and contractor Hector Godinez for $50,000 (City of Santa Ana 2025). Before owning the subject property, Mr. Godinez was born in San Diego in 1924 but moved to Santa Ana where he attended ethnically segregated schools, which became a social issue he fought against later in life. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Mr.

Godinez enlisted in the United States Army and served in General Patton's Third Army as a tank commander. For his service, he earned a Bronze Star for Bravery, five battle stars, and a Purple Heart when he was injured during the Battle of the Bulge. After his honorable discharge and through a Federal program created to help partially disabled veterans gain government jobs, Mr. Godinez started his 49-year career with the United States Postal Service as a letter carrier in Santa Ana. In 1961, Mr. Godinez was appointed by President John F. Kennedy as the first Mexican American postmaster not only in Santa Ana but in the country (United States Congressional Hearing 2002; Ancestry.com 2010; The Register 1961). From there, Hector worked his way up to become the Southern California district manager for the United States Post Office, managing more than 44,000 employees and an operating budget of $750 million.

Alongside his work as a postmaster, Mr. Godinez was a founder of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Santa Ana chapter and worked to desegregate Orange County public schools. Santa Ana LULAC was dedicated to addressing improvement of conditions for Mexican Americans and responsible for Mendez v. Orange County Board of Education in 1947. This lawsuit fought to desegregate Orange County schools and was City Council 13 – 187 11/4/2025

influential as the basis for Brown v. Board of Education at the national level. He served as national president of the LULAC from 1960 to 1961 (United States Congressional Hearing 2002).

Godinez was the recipient of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s Human Rights Award and the Western Region’s Community Service Award, and he was among the first recipients of the Postmaster General’s Award for Executive Achievement. He was distinguished by the National Association of Postmasters, the National League of Postmasters, and the National Association of Postal Supervisors (United States Congressional Hearing 2002). In 1999, Mr. Godinez passed away, and the house sold in 2001 (ParcelQuest 2025). The current residents are Tom Chappell and Elvia Orrillo Blas.

Located in the Floral Park neighborhood, the Hector Godinez House consists of a onestory, single-family residence and pool house constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Built on an L-plan, the residence is capped with a clay, barrel-tile-clad hipped roof.

Siding throughout the residence is rough stucco. Along the west side of the building, an arcade with tiled flooring and an exposed wood ceiling starts from the front of the building, where it shelters an attached two-car garage. The arcade terminates at the north at the deeply set-back front entrance, which is accessed by way of the glazed front door with a terracotta surround. East-facing windows face much of the course of the arcade.

Generally, these are wood fixed or tripartite sliding units, though a single sliding vinyl window punctures the wall at the clerestory level.

Accessed through a gate and rough stucco-clad walls, the east elevation features woodframe horizontal sliding wood sash windows and vinyl-frame horizontal sliding sash windows. Additionally, a set of wood-frame French doors sit at the center of the east elevation adjacent to decorative metal sconces. A concrete path runs down the side of the east elevation towards the backyard which features a swimming pool, pool house, and a trellis shade structure. The north elevation accesses the backyard through four entrances: one entrance at the eastern end has a single, glazed wood-frame door and City Council 13 – 188 11/4/2025

three of the entrances are wood-frame French doors with sidelites. The entrances sit on either side of a large exterior brick chimney and vinyl-frame horizontal sliding sash windows (Figure 8). Another set of wood-frame French doors and a single wood-frame door are located on the west façade facing a concrete path leading to the backyard.

At the rear of the property adjacent to the swimming pool is a pool house structure sitting on a brick foundation and capped with a front-gabled roof clad in barrel tile cladding. The wood frame structure of the roof is exposed atop stucco and brick clad walls which are open to the pool with a couch. Landscaping on the property consists of a lawn north and south of the residence, palms and ornamental plants, and mature trees at the back yard.

Four large brick-clad columns line the front yard along the sidewalk and West Santa Clara Avenue.

Character-defining features of the Hector Godinez house that should be preserved are those constructed within the period of significance of 1974-1979 and which generally reflect the property’s Spanish Colonial Revival style. They include, but are not limited to, its L plan, cross-gabled roof, clay-barrel-tile roof cladding, stucco exterior, east-façade arcade with exposed wood beams, and original wood-sash sliding windows. The Hector Godinez House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Key Category Criterion 4(b) for its association with Hector G. Godinez, activist and community leader in Santa Ana and Southern California. The established period of significance begins in 1974, when he constructed the residence, and concludes in 1979, when he was part of the Santa Ana Healthcare Authority and District Manager for the United States Postal Service in Southern California.

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:
• Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • A mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
• Incentives for potential buyers to purchase historic structures City Council 13 – 189 11/4/2025

• Discouraging inappropriate alterations to the property 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 subject to a completion of future improvements as described in an attached Work Plan.

Overall, future improvements (Work Plan) proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following: 1) assess condition of all windows, including frames and sashes, and repair or replace in-kind, as necessary and subject to Planning Division staff approval; 2) assess condition of roof, roofing tiles, exposed rafters, and fascia and repair or replace in-kind, as necessary and subject to Planning Division staff approval; 3) replace vinyl windows on east and north facades with stylistically appropriate wood sash windows, subject to Planning Division staff approval; 4) assess condition of hardscaping throughout the property and repair or replace with Planning Division staff approval; 5) assess paint and stucco throughout the residence and repaint, repair or replace, as necessary and subject to Planning Division staff approval.

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. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement to enable the Mills Act.

Located on in the Floral Park neighborhood, the Hector Godinez House consists of a one-story, single-family residence and pool house constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style (Figure 1). Built on an L-plan, the residence is capped with a clay, barrel-tile-clad hipped roof. Siding throughout the residence is rough stucco. Along the west side of the building, an arcade with tiled flooring and an exposed wood ceiling starts from the front of the building, where it shelters an attached two-car garage (Figure 2). The arcade terminates at the north at the deeply set-back front entrance, which is accessed by way of the glazed front door with a terracotta surround. East-facing windows front much of the course of the arcade. Generally, these are wood fixed or tripartite sliding units, though a single sliding vinyl window punctures the wall at the clerestory level (Figure 3). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 5.)

The Hector Godinez House is historically significant for its association with its original owner and builder, Hector G. Godinez.

Building permit data indicates the property was built in 1974 by owner and contractor Hector Godinez for $50,000 (City of Santa Ana 2025). Before owning the subject property, Mr. Godinez was born in San Diego in 1924 but moved to Santa Ana where he attended ethnically segregated schools, which became a social issue he fought against later in life. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Mr. Godinez enlisted in the United States Army and served in General Patton's Third Army as a tank commander. For his service, he earned a Bronze Star for Bravery, five battle stars, and a Purple Heart when he was injured during the Battle of the Bulge. After his honorable discharge and through a Federal program created to help partially disabled veterans gain government jobs, Mr. Godinez started his 49-year career with the United States Postal Service as a letter carrier in Santa Ana.

In 1961, Mr. Godinez was appointed by President John F. Kennedy as the first Mexican American postmaster not only in Santa Ana but in the country (United States Congressional Hearing 2002; Ancestry.com 2010; The Register 1961). From there, Hector worked his way up to become the Southern California district manager for the United States Post Office, managing more than 44,000 employees and an operating budget of $750 million.

*P3a. Description (continued):

Accessed through a gate and rough stucco-clad walls, the east elevation features wood-frame horizontal sliding wood sash windows and vinyl-frame horizontal sliding sash windows (Figures 4 and 5). Additionally, a set of wood-frame French doors sit at the center of the east elevation adjacent to decorative metal sconces. A concrete path runs down the side of the east elevation towards the backyard which features a swimming pool, pool house, and a trellis shade structure. The north elevation accesses the backyard through four entrances: one entrance at the eastern end has a single, glazed wood-frame door and three of the entrances are wood-frame French doors with sidelites (Figures 6 and 7). The entrances sit on either side of a large exterior brick chimney and vinyl-frame horizontal sliding sash windows (Figure 8). Another set of wood-frame French doors and a single wood-frame door are located on the west façade facing a concrete path leading to the backyard.

At the rear of the property adjacent to the swimming pool is a pool house structure sitting on a brick foundation and capped with a front-gabled roof clad in barrel tile cladding (Figures 9 and 10). The wood frame structure of the roof is exposed atop stucco and brick clad walls which are open to the pool with a couch. Landscaping on the property consists of a lawn north and south of the residence, palms and ornamental plants, and a mature trees at the back yard. Four large brick-clad columns line the front yard along the sidewalk and West Santa Clara Avenue. *B10. Significance (continued):

This lawsuit fought to desegregate Orange County schools and was influential as the basis for Brown v. Board of Education at the national level. He served as national president of the LULAC from 1960 to 1961 (United States Congressional Hearing 2002).

After working tirelessly for the United States Postal Service, Mr. Godinez was appointed District Manager of Los Angeles and Orange Counties in 1975 and again as the regional director of sequoia district office (which managed all mail from the coastal regions to the Mojave in southern California) in 1977 (Los Angeles Times 1975, 1977). He served on several commissions and boards while occupying the subject property including the city redevelopment commission in 1976, served as president of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce and Trustee of Rancho Santiago Community College District in 1976, and the Santa Ana Healthcare Authority in 1979 along with service in education, support for veterans, and unionizing the Santa Ana branch of postal workers (The Register 1976a, 1976b; Los Angeles Times 1979). He was the first Hispanic to be named the president of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce and a founding member of the Santa Ana Redevelopment Board (United States Congressional Hearing 2002). Additionally, Mr. Godinez was the recipient of the NAACP’s Human Rights Award and the Western Region’s Community Service Award, and he was among the first recipients of the Postmaster General’s Award for Executive Achievement. He was distinguished by the National Association of Postmasters, the National League of Postmasters, and the National Association of Postal Supervisors (United States Congressional Hearing 2002). In 1999, Mr. Godinez passed away, and the house sold in 2001 (ParcelQuest 2025). The current owners and residents are Tom Chappell and Elvia Orrillo Blas.

The Hector Godinez House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of orange, avocado, and walnut trees 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 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 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 El Toro Marine Base during World War II, 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 1937, Roy Rodney Russell, joined his father’s firm and by 1945 it was renamed as Roy Russell and Son. In the early post World War II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, singlefamily houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal City Council 13 – 210 11/4/2025

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 Hector Godinez House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Key Category Criterion 4(b) for its association with Hector G. Godinez, activist and community leader in Santa Ana and Southern California. The established period of signifcance is 1974, when he constructed the residence, to 1979, when he was part of the Santa Ana Healthcare Authority and District Manager for the United States Postal Service in Southern California. Character-defining features of the Hector Godinez house that should be preserved are those constructed within the period of significance of 1974- 1979 and which generally reflect the property’s Spanish Colonial Revival style. They include, but are not limited to, its L plan, cross-gabled roof, clay-barrel-tile roof cladding, stucco exterior, east-façade arcade with exposed wood beams, and original wood-sash sliding windows.

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 City Council 13 – 214 11/4/2025

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Colonial Revival
The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876 Centennial celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side-gabled, hipped, or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double-hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320-326). A “Classic Box” variant of the Colonial Revival style was popular circa 1894 to 1910 and was generally characterized by two-story box-like massing, a hipped roof (often with centered dormers), boxed eaves, a full or partial front porch with columnar roof supports, and Colonial Revival detailing.

Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) A bellcast, hipped roof crowns this square, two-story Colonial Revival house characterized by the box-like massing indicative of the Classic Box genre. The roof treatment includes carved brackets in the eaves and a centered front-gabled dormer over the façade. Narrow clapboard sheathes the house, with a bracketed overhang between stories. Recessed into the southern two-thirds of the façade, the porch is divided into bays by paired Tuscan columns and wraps the southeast corner of the house in a semicircular configuration. The columns rest on a railing of turned balusters. At the top of six steps in the center of the façade, the entry consists of a glazed door flanked by leaded glass sidelights. A large tripartite window to the left (south) is spanned by a leaded glass transom; a window to the right is a single fixed sash. Other windows are double-hung sash, with muntins arranged in a diamond pattern in the upper sashes. A balustraded balcony over the entry is defined by a segmental arch opening that has been filled with a non-original diamond-paned window. A second balcony tops the semicircular portion of the porch. Paneled detailing distinguishes a brick chimney attached to the south elevation. This highly intact house sits on an art stone foundation, with newer brick retaining walls bordering the front lawn.

house, a cross-gabled carriage house crowned by a cupola and weathervane was moved onto the property from 810 North French Street (the Crookshank House) in 1979 and converted into living areas. Mature trees dot this large property, which is enclosed by a non-original wrought iron fence.
*B10. Significance (continued):
numbers, beginning in 1908 and continuing through 1918. In 1922, Abraham Gustlin, a former railroad worker turned rancher, and his wife Lovina were living at 427 Edgewood. By 1925, this house had become 2410 North Valencia. It is not clear if the house was actually moved to make way for an extension of Valencia or if it was merely renumbered when the street was subdivided. The Gustlins remained at this address at least until 1951, according to city building permits. In the 1970s, the property was purchased by Robert and Dorothy Heath, who rehabilitated the house and moved the carriage house from the Crookshank House in French Park. Subsequent owners Doug and Deborah Thomsen continued the rehabilitation.

The Taylor-Gustlin 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 neighborhood 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 I-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban 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 time. 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 “fruit grower” as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern 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 carpenters 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 western 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 construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World War II.

The Taylor-Gustlin House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Classic Box variant of the Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Landmark” because it “has a unique architectural significance” as a well-detailed and highly intact example of the Classic Box variant of the Colonial Revival style. Notable in this regard are the box-like massing, hipped roof with dormer, Tuscan columns, and highly ornamental treatment of the windows and brackets. All original and restored exterior features of the Taylor-Gustlin House are considered character-defining and should be preserved. These features include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration and detailing; massing; windows and doors; porch; architectural details (porch supports, window and door surrounds, brackets, etc.); any original landscaping such as fruit trees; and original interior features such as the log cabin patterned hardwood floor.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
September 23, 2025
Topic: HPPA No. 2025-06 – The Taylor-Gustlin House (2520 N. Valencia 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 DLKC Investments, LLC, for the property located at 2520 N. Valencia Street, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
DLKC Investments, LLC, is requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 2520 N. Valencia Street that is currently listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and is categorized as Landmark.

DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Taylor-Gustlin House, consists of an existing two-story Colonial Revival-style residence and a relocated carriage house of a combined 4,529 square feet in size located on a 26,100-square-foot residential lot. The Taylor-Gustlin House was added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) in 2004 and categorized as “Landmark” (Exhibit 4).

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 Landmark, 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 City Council 13 – 240 11/4/2025
HPPA No. 2025-06 – The Taylor-Gustlin House (2520 N. Valencia Street) September 23, 2025

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 2004, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Taylor-Gustlin House on the Register and within the Landmark category for its unique architectural quality as a highly intact residence with the distinguishing characteristics of the Classic Box variant of the Colonial Revival style. All original and restored exterior features of the Taylor-Gustlin House are considered character-defining and should be preserved. These features include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration and detailing; massing; windows and doors; porch; architectural details (porch supports, window and door surrounds, brackets, etc.); any original landscaping such as fruit trees; and original interior features such as the log cabin patterned hardwood floor.

The following permits for exterior work have been issued for the property: relocation of the existing carriage house in 1979, construction of garage and playroom in 1979, replacement of masonry fireplace in 1979, rear addition in 1979 construction of pool and spa in 1989, construction of fountain in 1989. No other exterior alterations were documented in City building permits or observed during the site inspection conducted in 2025. During the 2025 site visit, Planning Division staff noted the property was in excellent condition with no historically inappropriate modifications.

Future improvements proposed by Planning Division staff and agreed to by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include assess roof, exposed rafters, and rain gutters on residence and carriage house and repaint, repair, or replace in-kind, as necessary, in-kind replacement being subject to Planning Division staff approval; assess condition of paint and exterior wall cladding and repaint, repair, or replace in-kind, replacement being subject to Planning Division staff approval; assess windows on primary and secondary buildings and repaint, repair, or replace in-kind, as necessary, repair and replacement being subject to Planning Division staff approval; assess condition of driveway and concrete paths, concrete front steps, and brick site features and repair in-kind as necessary, subject to Planning Division staff approval. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be performed sensitively and will maintain the property’s character-defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property.

Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, City Council 13 – 241 11/4/2025

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. 2025-75, 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 $1,000.99 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

A bellcast, hipped roof crowns this square, two-story Colonial Revival house characterized by the box-like massing indicative of the Classic Box genre. The roof treatment includes carved brackets in the eaves and a centered front-gabled dormer over the façade. Narrow clapboard sheathes the house, with a bracketed overhang between stories. Recessed into the southern two-thirds of the façade, the porch is divided into bays by paired Tuscan columns and wraps the southeast corner of the house in a semicircular configuration. The columns rest on a railing of turned balusters. At the top of six steps in the center of the façade, the entry consists of a glazed door flanked by leaded glass sidelights. A large tripartite window to the left (south) is spanned by a leaded glass transom; a window to the right is a single fixed sash. Other windows are double-hung sash, with muntins arranged in a diamond pattern in the upper sashes. A balustraded balcony over the entry is defined by a segmental arch opening that has been filled with a non-original diamond-paned window. A second balcony tops the semicircular portion of the porch. Paneled detailing distinguishes a brick chimney attached to the south elevation. This highly intact house sits on an art stone foundation, with newer brick retaining walls bordering the front lawn.
