5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code Section 50286.

This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half (12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster. c.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:

The F.B. Rogers-Dickson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-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).

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1933 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 F.B. Rogers-Dickson House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1933 as a single-family residence and detached garage at a cost of $2500 for and by F.B. Rogers. Mr. George H. and Mrs. Winona M. J. Dickson likely purchased the property from Rogers in 1934 and occupied the residence from 1934 to circa 1968 (The Register 1934, 1968; Santa Ana City Directory 1934). Mrs. Dickson's mother, Martha Jessen, lived with them for five years before she passed away in 1957 (The Register 1957). Mrs. Jessen and her husband were early settlers of Santa Ana, moving to the area in circa 1881. City directories don't list George's nor Winona's occupations, and though George passed away in 1947, Winona continued to live at the property until her death in 1968. Research did not identify any residents in the 1970s and identified one owner from 1981, Daniel A. Smith (City of Santa Ana Building Permits). (See Continuation Sheet 3).

A portion of the patio sits under the primary roofline with another secondary entrance with an original divided lite wood frame door, wood frame screen, and wood frame side lites (Figure 6). The south facade features four original one-over-one wood frame double-hung sash window and two small wood frame fixed pane windows (Figure 7).

An original concrete Hollywood driveway runs along the north elevation from North Lowell Street to the detached garage (Figure 8). Rectangular in plan, the garage sits on a concrete foundation and capped with a front-gabled roof clad in composition shingles with overhanging eaves on the north and south elevations. The exterior is clad in horizontal wood board siding, and with vehicle access by way of a non-original roll-up garage door located on the west elevation (Figure 9). The south elevation of the garage has an entrance with a non-original paneled and glazed door.

The front of the property is set back from North Lowell Street with a grassy lawn and ornamental plantings. A paved walkway leads to the front door, and concrete pavers run from the Hollywood drive way to the front door. The rear yard has a concrete patio, grassy lawn, and mature trees.
*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.

The F.B. Rogers-Dickson House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross-McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of singlefamily homes over the next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War II. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A Neighborhood of Pride," Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and the accompanying demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed.

The F.B. Rogers-Dickson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style home in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square, the house was constructed in 1933. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of its neighborhood, is a good example of period architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3). Character-defining features of the house’s original Tudor Revival-style construction include, but are not necessarily limited to, moderately pitched side gable roof with sloped front gabled entrance, wood sash windows throughout, wood louvered shutters, exterior brick chimney, central rear patio entrance wood and glazed door and side lites, and the ribbon/Hollywood driveway. *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.

Topic: HRCA No. 2026-8, HRC No. 2026-3, HPPA No. 2026-3 – The F.B. RogersDickson House (1123 N. Lowell Street)

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2026-8 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2026-3; and

2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Grant and Emily Bettencourt, for the property located at 1123 N. Lowell Street, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
William Grant and Emily Ann Bettencourt, Co-Trustees of The WGB and EAB Family Trust, U/A dated December 19, 2024, are requesting approval to designate an existing Tudor Revival-style residence located at 1123 N. Lowell Street on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”), 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 Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style house. It is worthy of “Contributive” categorization as it contributes to the overall character and history of its neighborhood, is a good example of period architecture, Tudor Revival, including moderately pitched side gable roof with sloped front gabled entrance, wood sash windows throughout, wood louvered shutters, exterior brick chimney, central rear patio entrance, wood and glazed door and side lites, and the ribbon/Hollywood driveway.

DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
Located on a mid-block parcel in the Washington Square neighborhood, the F.B. RogersDickson House consists of a one-story, single-family residence and detached garage constructed in the Tudor Revival style. The parcel is bounded on the west by Lowell Street and on the north, south, and west by private properties. The one-story residence has an irregular shaped plan and a concrete foundation. Its steeply pitched cross-gabled roof is City Council 13 – 23 10/20/2026

clad in composition shingles, and the exterior walls are sheathed in horizontal plywood planks. Facing Lowell Street to the west, the asymmetrical main façade is characterized by a wood paneled front door with a fan lite sited within a front-gabled extension with a sloped roof and accessible by concrete steps. The primary façade is also characterized by wood frame double hung sash windows with original wood louvered shutters.

The north elevation features an exterior brick chimney, triangular-shaped wood louvered vent in the gable, and three wood frame double hung sash windows, two that are oneover-one and the third that is six-over-six.

The rear, east façade faces an enclosed grassy backyard and concrete patio. There are two front gable extensions on the north and south side of the east elevation with the concrete patio in-between. Each extension has original one-over-one wood frame sash windows, and the north extension features a secondary entrance with a non-original glazed door and concrete steps. A portion of the patio sits under the primary roofline with another secondary entrance with an original divided lite wood frame door, wood frame screen, and wood frame side lites. The south facade features four original one-over-one wood frame double-hung sash window and two small wood frame fixed pane windows.

An original concrete Hollywood driveway runs along the north elevation from Lowell Street to the detached garage. Rectangular in plan, the garage sits on a concrete foundation and capped with a front-gabled roof clad in composition shingles with overhanging eaves on the north and south elevations. The exterior is clad in horizontal wood board siding, and with vehicle access by way of a non-original roll-up garage door located on the west elevation. The south elevation of the garage has an entrance with a non-original paneled and glazed door.

The front of the property is set back from Lowell Street with a grassy lawn and ornamental plantings. A paved walkway leads to the front door, and concrete pavers run from the Hollywood driveway to the front door. The rear yard has a concrete patio, grassy lawn, and mature trees.

Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2363, establishing the Historic Resources Commission (HRC) and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”). For more than 25 years, the HRC served as the City’s review authority for matters involving the designation and categorization of historic properties and other historic preservation applications pursuant to Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC).

September 28, 2026

Page 3 ends

On July 7, 2026, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3097, which dissolved the HRC and transferred its historic preservation powers and duties to the Planning Commission. Ordinance No. NS-3097 became effective on August 6, 2026. As a result, the Planning Commission now serves as the City’s review authority for historic preservation matters previously considered by the HRC, including applications to designate and categorize properties for inclusion on the Register.

Accordingly, the Planning Commission is considering Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2026-8 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2026-3 pursuant to the applicable provisions of Chapter 30 of the SAMC. The applications require the Planning Commission to apply the selection and categorization criteria established in Chapter 30 to determine whether the F.B. Rogers-Dickson House is eligible for designation and listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and, if eligible, the appropriate historic categorization. The first criterion for selection requires that a structure 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 93 years old and is a sound example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

The F.B. Rogers-Dickson House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1933 as a single-family residence and detached garage at a cost of $2500 for and by F.B. Rogers. Mr. George H. and Mrs. Winona M. J. Dickson likely purchased the property from Rogers in 1934 and occupied the residence from 1934 to circa 1968 (The Register 1934, 1968; Santa Ana City Directory 1934). Mrs. Dickson's mother, Martha Jessen, lived with them for five years before she passed away in 1957 (The Register 1957). Mrs. Jessen and her husband were early settlers of Santa Ana, moving to the area in circa 1881. City directories list neither George's nor Winona's occupations, and while George passed away in 1947, Winona continued to live at the property until her death in 1968. Research did not identify any residents in the 1970s and identified one owner from 1981, Daniel A. Smith (City of Santa Ana Building Permits).

The F.B. Rogers-Dickson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style home in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square, the house was constructed in 1933. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of its neighborhood, is a good example of period architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3). Character-defining features of the house’s original Tudor Revival-style construction include, but are not necessarily limited to, moderately pitched side gable roof with sloped front gabled entrance, wood sash windows City Council 13 – 25 10/20/2026

throughout, wood louvered shutters, exterior brick chimney, central rear patio entrance wood and glazed door and side lites, and the ribbon/Hollywood driveway.

Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 established the City’s Historic Property Preservation Agreement (HPPA) program, commonly known as the Mills Act program, for eligible historic properties. Historically, the Historic Resources Commission served as the review authority for Mills Act agreements. However, on July 7, 2026, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3097, which dissolved the Historic Resources Commission and transferred its historic preservation powers and duties to the Planning Commission.

Accordingly, the Planning Commission now reviews Mills Act applications and makes a recommendation to the City Council regarding approval of the agreement.

To be eligible for a Mills Act agreement, a 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 would designate and categorize the property for inclusion on the local register, thereby establishing its eligibility 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 and preserve the property in a good state of repair and in a manner that maintains its historic character and appearance.

Once recorded, the agreement provides for an alternative method of determining the property’s assessed value, which may result in property tax savings for the owner. In addition to potential tax savings, the benefits of a Mills Act agreement 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 • 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 and Planning Division staff during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following:
1) assess all siding (lap wood and brick) for cracking and other damage; replace or repair in-kind with staff approval; 2) assess condition of windows; replace in-kind, as necessary with staff approval; 3) assess condition of roofing (composition shingles) and fascia and repair or replace in-kind, as necessary with staff approval; 4) assess condition of exterior City Council 13 – 26 10/20/2026

brick chimney and repair or replace in-kind, as necessary with staff approval; and 5) assess hardscaping, including driveway, walkways, and porch/patio steps and flooring, throughout the residence and repair or replace in-kind, as necessary and with 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.

Public Notification
The subject site is located within the Washington Square Neighborhood Association. The president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, has been received from any members of the public.

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. 2026-059, 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 $670.89 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: American 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. Beginning in the second half of the 1930s, and continuing in the two decades following World War II, the late Colonial Revival departed from the more literal historicism of the previous half-century and was often reduced to a few signature elements. These features include stylized door surrounds; pseudo-quoined corners; multi-paned casement or double-hung sash windows, often framed by decorative shutters; circular, oval, or octagonal accent windows; and eaves nearly flush with the exterior walls. A hipped roof subtype sometimes contained Regency references such as bow and bay windows. Another popular subtype was split-level, ranch, or Cape Cod in appearance and plan, and normally topped by gabled roofs. The materials used in the late Colonial Revival were similar to those of the earlier period—wood, brick, stone, and stucco—although stucco came to be used more frequently than before.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:

The Sugden House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a American Colonial-style home in Santa Ana. Located in Park Santiago, the house was constructed in 1949.

The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality seen in its American Colonial Revival style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).

Also address integrity) The Sugden House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a house designed in the American Colonial Revival with Minimal Traditional characteristics in Santa Ana. The original building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1949 as a single-family residence and detached garage at a cost of $1,000.00 for Floyd B. Rogers. Rogers constructed the property on speculation and advertised the sale of the home in a 1950 newspaper article (The Register 1950a). Rogers was a residential developer in Santa Ana from the 1920s to the 1940s and was one of the builders of the residences within the Floral Park Historic District, among other areas of the city (Almendral et al. 2019).

In 1950, Lt. Anderson E. Sugden and his wife Mary Sugden occupied the property before Lt. Sugden reported to the Army chemical corps in Hawaii then serving in Korea (The Register 1950b). They occupied the residence until circa 1956 (The Register 1954; Santa Ana City Directory 1952, 1954, 1956). From circa 1959 to 1960, Mrs. G.F. Taplin occupied the residence (The Register 1959, Santa Ana City Directory 1960). Between circa 1962 and 1994, R.V. Righter occupied the residence (Santa Ana City Directories 1962 and 1979; Ancestry.com 2005). No additional information was identified on Mrs.

G.F. Taplin or R.V. Righter.

*P3a. Description (continued):

Between the two entrances are a large wood frame fixed pane window with eight panes of glass and a two-over-two doublehung wood sash window (Figure 6). The third secondary entrance is outside the enclosed backyard adjacent to the driveway and garage. The entrance has a wood paneled and glazed door (Figure 7). The east elevation additionally features a small wood frame hopper window along the roofline, a glass block window with eight small glass blocks, and a four-over-four wood sash window. The east-elevation roofline has three small arched louvered vent openings (Figure 8).

The south façade faces the paved concrete driveway, which leads from North Valencia Drive to the detached garage. There are two two-over-two wood frame double-hung sash windows and a square bay with a wood frame casement window and window planter box; all of the windows are shaded by non-original canvas awnings (Figure 9 and Figure 10). Throughout the residence, there are decorative vent openings along the crawl space.

Just southeast of the residence is an original detached garage, which has an irregular footprint and is situated on a concrete foundation. The garage is capped with a front-gabled roof clad in composition shingles, and the exterior is sheathed in wood shingle and stucco siding. The primary, west façade has a garage opening with an aluminum roll-up garage door (Figure 11).

The garage has a rear, east elevation addition comparable in size to the garage; the addition’s north elevation extends north from the original garage’s elevation and has an entrance with a paneled and glazed door (Figure 12). The north elevation has three louvered windows with wood louvered shutters. *B10. Significance (continued):

The Sugden House is located in the Park Santiago neighborhood. 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-ofway 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 singlefamily 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.

Accordingly, the Planning Commission is considering Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2026-3 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2026-4 pursuant to the applicable provisions of Chapter 30 of the SAMC. The applications require the Planning Commission to apply the selection and categorization criteria established in Chapter 30 to determine whether the Sugden House is eligible for designation and listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and, if eligible, the appropriate historic categorization. The first criterion for selection requires that a structure 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 77 years old and is a sound example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

The Sugden House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a house designed in the American Colonial Revival with Minimal Traditional characteristics in Santa Ana.

The original building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1949 as a singlefamily residence and detached garage at a cost of $1,000.00 for Floyd B. Rogers. Rogers constructed the property on speculation and advertised the sale of the home in a 1950 newspaper article (The Register 1950a). Rogers was a residential developer in Santa Ana from the 1920s to the 1940s and was one of the builders of the residences within the Floral Park Historic District, among other areas of the city (Almendral et al. 2019).

In 1950, Lt. Anderson E. Sugden and his wife Mary Sugden occupied the property before Lt. Sugden reported to the Army chemical corps in Hawaii then serving in Korea (The City Council 13 – 51 10/20/2026

Register 1950b). They occupied the residence until circa 1956 (The Register 1954; Santa Ana City Directory 1952, 1954, 1956). From circa 1959 to 1960, Mrs. G.F. Taplin occupied the residence (The Register 1959, Santa Ana City Directory 1960). Between circa 1962 and 1994, R.V. Righter occupied the residence (Santa Ana City Directories 1962 and 1979; Ancestry.com 2005). No additional information was identified on Mrs. G.F. Taplin or R.V. Righter.

The Sugden House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of an American Colonial-style home in Santa Ana.

Located in Park Santiago, the house was constructed in 1949. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality seen in its American Colonial Revival style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).

Character-defining features of the house’s original American Colonial Revival-style construction include, but are not necessarily limited to, wood shingle siding, wood shiplap siding, brick siding, brick planter, wood sash windows throughout property including wood louvered shutters on the primary facade, recessed front porch with wood post, banisters, and arched beams, original wood paneled and glazed door, square bay window on the south elevation including wood casement window, louvered vent in the gables, and decorative vent openings at the crawl space.

Accordingly, the Planning Commission now reviews Mills Act applications and makes a recommendation to the City Council regarding approval of the agreement.

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 Lshaped 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.

The original building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1953 as a single-family residence at a cost of $18,500 for and by Walter J. Markel.

According to a 1953 The Register newspaper article, the building permit was issued to Lloyd Westlake, who worked for Mr. Markel at Walter J. Markel Construction Company; the largest permit issued that week in November 1953 (The Register 1953; Santa Ana City Directory 1954). Mr. Markel was a contractor and listed the Riviera Drive property as his place of business (The Register 1954). The home was host to many events in Santa Ana: bridal showers, engagement parties, garden parties for the Federated Republican Women of Santa Ana. Walter and his wife Bernadine lived at the property from 1953 to circa 1997. (See Continuation Sheet 3).

*P3a. Description (continued):

The north façade faces the rear of the property and features a recessed covered porch with square wood posts and three secondary entrances (Figure 5). Two of the entrances are under the covered porch: one is a floor-to-ceiling aluminumframed sliding glass door flanked by floor-to-ceiling fixed pane windows, and the other entrance is a glazed wood framed door (Figure 6 and Figure 7). The third entrance is sited on the west side of the façade with an aluminum-framed sliding glass door (Figure 8). The windows throughout the north façade are original two-over-two wood frame sash windows or aluminum vertical sliding sash, excepting a one-over-one sash replacement window installed at the kitchen in 2019 (Figure 9 and Figure 10). The attached garage has a non-original secondary entrance with a roll-up door on the north façade (Figure 11).

The west façade faces an adjacent property and features replacement wood frame one-over-one sash windows (Figure 12).

The east façade of the garage is devoid of architectural elaborations (Figure 13).

The front of the property is set back from West Riviera Drive with a grassy lawn, ornamental plantings, concrete walkways, and a concrete driveway. The rear yard has a concrete patio, pool, detached pool house, grassy lawn, and mature trees (Figure 14).
*B10. Significance (continued):

Walter was born in New Orleans in 1910, and he and his family moved to Santa Ana by the 1920s when Walter was listed in newspaper articles for participating in school plays and concerts (The Register 1922). In the 1930 U.S. Census, Walter’s father, Julien, was listed as a building contractor, and Walter was listed as a cement finisher, likely working for Julien (Ancestry.com 2002). Walter went on to form his own contracting company, mostly laying foundations and other concrete work. Walter was a founding member of the Santa Ana Chapter of the Knights of Columbus (The Register 1934). Bernadine Ashen Markel was born in 1913 in Colorado, though research did not identify when Bernadine moved to California. She was a member of several clubs in Santa Ana including the St. Joseph’s Parish, Capistrano Y.L.I. and the Federated Republican Women of Santa Ana. Walter passed away in 1988 and Bernadine in 1997, owning and occupying the residence until each of them passed away.

Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Markel 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 Markel 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. Located in West Floral Park, the house was constructed in 1953. The recommended categorization is “Key” for its distinctive architectural style and quality of the Ranch style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the house’s original Ranch-style construction include, but are not necessarily limited to, low pitched hipped roof; stucco, shiplap, and slump block brick exterior sidings; wood frame side lite with beveled glass; wood frame sash windows throughout; and the garage door.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Claire Jackson, Trustee of The Claire Jackson Trust, Dated 8/16/2025, is requesting approval to designate an existing Ranch-style residence located at 915 W. Riviera Drive on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”), 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 Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Ranch-style house. It is worthy of “Key” categorization for its distinctive architectural style and quality of the Ranch style including the following character-defining features of the house’s original Ranch-style construction: low pitched hipped roof, stucco, shiplap, and slump block brick exterior sidings, wood frame side lite with beveled glass, wood frame sash windows throughout, and garage door.

DISCUSSION

Accordingly, the Planning Commission is considering Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2026-9 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2026-5 pursuant to the applicable provisions of Chapter 30 of the SAMC. The applications require the Planning Commission to apply the selection and categorization criteria established in Chapter 30 to determine whether the Markel House is eligible for designation and listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and, if eligible, the appropriate historic categorization. The first criterion for selection requires that a structure be 50 or more years old.

The structure identified meets the selection criteria for inclusion on the Register pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the SAMC, as the structure is 73 years old and is a sound example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

The Markel House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Ranch-style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1953 as a single-family residence and detached garage at a cost of $18,500 for and by Walter J. Markel. According to a 1953 The Register newspaper article, the building permit was issued to Lloyd Westlake, who worked for Mr. Markel at Walter J.

Mr. Markel was a contractor and listed the Riviera Drive property as his place of business (The Register 1954). The home was host to many events in Santa Ana: bridal showers, engagement parties, garden parties for the Federated Republican Women of Santa Ana. Walter and his wife Bernadine lived at the property from 1953 to circa 1961.

Joseph’s Parish, Capistrano Y.L.I. and the Federated Republican Women of Santa Ana.

Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the house’s original Ranch-style construction include, but are not necessarily limited to, low pitched hipped roof, stucco, shiplap, and slump block brick exterior sidings, wood frame side lite with beveled glass, wood frame sash windows throughout, and garage door.

Accordingly, the Planning Commission now reviews Mills Act applications and makes a recommendation to the City Council regarding approval of the agreement.

TOPIC: Agreement for Public Space Maintenance Services at the Santa Ana Civic Center and Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center

AGENDA TITLE
Award of an Agreement with End Result Services, LLC for Public Space Maintenance Services at the Santa Ana Civic Center and Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (Specification No. 27-00527-005) (General Fund & Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with End Result Services, LLC to provide public space maintenance services at the Santa Ana Civic Center and Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center beginning October 20, 2026 and expiring October 19, 2027, with an estimated annual budget of $504,541 with provisions for four, oneyear extensions, in an amount not to exceed $2,522,705. (Agreement No. A-2026-XXX).

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) maintains City facilities and public spaces throughout Santa Ana. As a part of these responsibilities, PWA provides public space cleaning and pressure washing services at various high-use municipal and public facilities to maintain safe, clean, and presentable environments for residents and visitors. These services include facilities located within the Santa Ana Civic Center, Main Library, and Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC).

Since 2022, the City has contracted with Superior Property Service, Inc. to pressure wash the Santa Ana Civic Center at an annual cost of approximately $320,000. That contract expired on June 30, 2026. Separately, the City budgeted approximately $50,000 annually for pressure washing services at SARTC through a contract with TSCM Corporation, which also expired on June 30, 2026.

The new proposed agreement will provide comprehensive pressure washing and maintenance services to preserve the cleanliness, safety, and aesthetic appeal of key municipal and regional facilities. The scope requires specialized equipment, materials, labor, and service capacity that exceed the City’s current staffing and available resources. Additionally, a significant portion of the funding for these services is provided City Council 14 – 1 10/20/2026

through the Civic Center Joint Powers Agreement with the County of Orange and would require coordination with County staff. Through joint budgeting with County staff, all annual maintenance in the Santa Ana Civic Center is budgeted and paid for through the Orange County Civic Center Parking Maintenance Fund (Fund 828). While staff evaluates the feasibility of bringing these services in-house, the City will utilize the contractual agreement to ensure consistent and uninterrupted service. The vendor will maintain public spaces to the highest standards through specialized surface cleaning and deep-sanitization practices.

Under the proposed contract, the vendor will perform routine and deep-cleaning maintenance, specifically utilizing hot steam pressure washing, across key locations within the Santa Ana Civic Center and surrounding facilities. This scope encompasses regular washing and deep cleaning of walkways, plaza spaces, gathering areas, and hardscape surfaces throughout the main campus grounds. Services will extend to highvolume City, State, and County facilities, including deep cleaning of entrance plazas, steps, walkways, and heavy foot-traffic zones at the Courthouses; targeted cleaning of building exteriors, main entrances, courtyards, and perimeter walkways at Santa Ana City Hall; and surface washing of public access points, outdoor seating areas, and surrounding concrete pathways at both the Orange County Public Law Library and City Library. Additionally, the vendor will deliver comprehensive pressure washing of station platforms, transit concourses, sidewalk connections, and surrounding high-traffic public grounds at the SARTC to maintain a clean transit environment for commuters and visitors.

To deliver effective services, the vendor will utilize heavy-duty, hot steam pressure washing units capable of removing grease, gum, stains, public health hazards, and embedded grime that standard cold-water washing cannot resolve. All pressure washing activities will strictly comply with local environmental standards, including stormwater runoff prevention and wastewater containment protocols.

The City issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 27-005 on August 18, 2026, on the City’s online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:

337 Vendors notified
15 Santa Ana vendors notified

specifications and met the City’s requirements. An evaluation committee reviewed and rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP. Based on criteria outlined in the RFP, the following summarizes the top responding firms:

Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest-ranked firm, End Result Services, LLC (Exhibit 1). End Result Services, LLC was determined to be the lowest bid and responsive to the specifications. The firm’s proposal demonstrates the experience and trained personnel necessary to perform the required scope of work, with more than 50 completed commercial, municipal, school, transit, Home Owner Associations, and public-facing projects throughout Southern California. Since July 2026, End Result has successfully provided semimonthly power washing services at SARTC, covering approximately 50,000 square feet, with services completed without complaints, safety incidents, or environmental violations. Their experience demonstrates the firm’s ability to operate safely and effectively within active public facilities while meeting the City’s operational requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted and available in the following accounts for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

Subsequent fiscal year funding for renewal options, if exercised, will be included in the proposed budgets for City Council consideration. The following is an estimate of expenditures by fiscal year. Actual expenditures may vary by fiscal year based on operational needs, provided total expenditures do not exceed the total contract amount authorized by City Council.

Actual expenditures for services at the Santa Ana Civic Center will be charged to the applicable City-designated Civic Center Maintenance account and reimbursed through the County of Orange managed fund, Fund 828 (Orange County Civic Center Parking Maintenance Fund).
