E. Thomas Chappell is requesting approval to designate an existing Spanish Colonial Revival-style residence located at 433 W. Santa Clara Avenue to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana. The property qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criter ion 4(b) for its associat ion with Hector G. Godinez, activist and community leader in Santa Ana and Southern California. It is worthy of “Key ” categorization because it is associated with a significant person in the city. Elements of the property reflective of its association with Godinez, the property’s builder and original owner/occupant, include its L plan, cross -gabled roof, clay -barrel-tile roofing, entryway arcade, and stucco exterior, among other features.

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 w as 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 bat tle 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 HRCA No. 2025-08, HRC No. 2025-10, HPPA No. 2025-10– The Hector Godinez House (433 W. Santa Clara Avenue)

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 fi rst 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 one- story, 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 term inates 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 wood- frame 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 HRCA No. 2025-08, HRC No. 2025-10, HPPA No. 2025-10– The Hector Godinez House (433 W. Santa Clara Avenue)
September 23, 2025

Page 4 ends

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 w alls 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 t he 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 HRCA No. 2025-08, HRC No. 2025-10, HPPA No. 2025-10– The Hector Godinez House (433 W. Santa Clara Avenue)
September 23, 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 recognizi ng 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).

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, single- family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style.

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.
