CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
415 W. SIXTH STREET
ADDITION OF A PORCH COLUMN TO A "B RATED" RESIDENTIAL VICTORIAN ITALIANATE
STRUCTURE
In accordance with Ordinance No. 1001 which was adopted June 20, .1988, by the Tustin City
Council, the Community Development Director has the authority to approve, approve with conditions,
or deny Certificates of Appropriateness for improvements requiring a City building permit for property
located within'a Cultural Resource District. The proposed project includes the addition of a porch
column to the front facade of the building. The proposed porch column will be placed
equidistant from two existing porch columns and will be of similar height, color and material
as the existing columns. The residential structure is a "B -rated" Victorian Italianate structure
per the Tustin Historical Resources Survey.
The Community Development Department finds and determines as follows:
A. In accordance with TCC Section 8101 (301.2.1) the proposed column requires a building
permit.
B. The proposed work does not adversely affect the character of the District or Designated
Cultural Resources within the District in that the proposed porch column would actually be a
replacement to an original porch column that is thought to have been removed during a
renovation project pre -1970's.
C. The proposed work is harmonious with existing surroundings in that the proposed porch
column is of similar color and style to the existing porch columns.
The proposed work is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions:
1. Prior to the start of any work, the applicant shall obtain a building permit and pay all applicable
plan check and permit fees.

Re: Request for Certificate of Appropriateness for 415 W. 6th Street Porch Column
Dear Scott:
This letter is to request a certificate of appropriateness as referenced above.
Based on a historical drawing of the house, there was a third column that was removed after the
house was constructed. Since the porch is undergoing repair of wood damage, it is a more
convenient time to add the column at this time. Although the column will be constructed with
appropriate structural connections, it does not appear to be necessary from a structural
perspective.
If this request satisfies City requirements, please mail the Certificate of Appropriateness to the
address in the footer below. Thank you for your assistance. Should you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me at 714/544-3836.
Sincerely,
?JeffAR.T pson

➢ Background
The house at 415 W. 6th Street is a Victorian Italienate home that was constructed in the 1870's. During the
1920's the house was enlarged to add two bedrooms, a bathroom, and presumably a kitchen. During the
1940's the house was modified for apartment use. Then, in the early 1970's, the use of the house was
converted into office use. Finally, it was relocated in 1990 from 640 W. 1St Street at the present address of
415 W. 6t" Street. It is estimated that during one of the renovation projects, prior to the 1970's, the center
column for the front porch removed.
A drawing of the house is contained in History of Santa Ana, City and Valley, October 15, 1887 published
by The Paragon Ap-ency (0, noted below.
