FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: COMMENDATION NOMINATION - 2009 FOURTH QUARTER
RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission approve the nomination of 525 West Main Street to the City's
Commendation Program.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City's commendation program recognizes an Old Town property of outstanding merit every
calendar quarter. A decorative sign is displayed at the property, and the owner is provided with
a City-paid plaque and recognized at a City Council meeting. Properties commended to date
include 355 West Second Street, 320 West Third Street, 520 West Main Street, 160 South
Pacific Street, 335 South C Street, 340 West Main Street, 200 South A Street, 310 South
Pasadena Avenue, and 705 West Main Street (or 350 South Myrtle Avenue).
The call for nominations for the third/fourth quarter of 2009 was mailed out to members of the
Tustin Area Historical Society and Tustin Preservation Conservancy and others on August 27,
2009. As of October 20, 2009, two nominations had been received. However, one of the
nominations was declined by the property owner.
525 West Main Street
Tustin residents Markus and Heidi Brown submitted the attached nomination for the residence
they own at 525 West Main Street. The California bungalow was built in 1915 and has a C
rating in the City's 1990 Historical Survey and a 5S1 rating in the City's 2003 Historical
Resources Survey. Past residents include Charles and Belle Greenwood and Ira and Daisy
Price. The First Advent Christian Church was also a previous owner of the property.
Should the Commission approve the nomination, staff recommends that the nomination
approval be forwarded to the Tustin Area Historical Society and Tustin Preservation
Conservancy for their review and recommendation of the most appropriate historical property
name. Once input has been received, the Planning Commission will select the name to the
displayed on the plaque provided by the City.
