In performing its historic and cultural resources duties, the Planning Commission shall not exercise any independent final decision-making authority or expend City funds. Actions of the Commission shall not be considered actions of the City and shall not be represented as such." On November 6, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 18-78 affirming the Planning Commission as the HCRA to the City Council and establishing a program, defining the HCRA's roles and responsibilities, and requiring an annual work program (Attachment B). This report provides the HCRA with the prior year accomplishments (2024) along with the upcoming work program (2025). Upon approval by the HCRA, the annual report will be forwarded to the City Council. Docusign Envelope ID: FED5E446-7863-48C3-9C34-16DC1975007A Planning Commission as HCRA 2025 Work Program Page 2 2024 Work Program - Accomplishments The following is a summary of the HCRA accomplishments during the 2024 calendar: • Continue to integrate historic preservation into land use planning by updating and organizing the Tustin City Code (TCC) to further improve the understanding and requirements of historic preservation. a. Establish clear definitions and allowable uses within the TCC consistently. During the 2024 program year, efforts for this goal were redirected to Tustin Historic Preservation Week. b. Establish a City of Tustin Historic Preservation Week during one week in the month of May of every calendar year. This effort coincides with the California State Office of Historic Preservation's (OHP) programming, which takes place during the month of May. City staff kicked off the City's first Historic Preservation Week that took place during May 7-14, 2024. In an effort to honor Tustin's vibrant history, and to build and foster a relationship between City Hall and Tustin's historic preservation groups, the City collaborated with the Tustin Preservation Conservancy and the Tustin Area Historical Society to kick off the inaugural Historic Preservation Week. Throughout the week, residents enjoyed daily historical fun facts that were shared on the City's website, interactive information booths, and guided walking tours. The week's events were aimed at fostering a deeper connection with the City's rich heritage. The preservation groups, likewise, also shared coordinated information on their respective websites and joined the City at various information booths. On May 29, 2024, City staff submitted an application to American Planning Association (APA), Orange County Section, for their Cultural Heritage Award. The City of Tustin was honored to be selected for this award, which was presented to City staff on October 24, 2024, during the APA Orange Section's Annual Awards Night. The Orange Section APA hosts this annual event to recognize innovative plans, projects, and distinguished individuals who contribute to the planning profession throughout Orange County. • One (1) Commendation Nomination During the 2024 program year, no properties were nominated for commendations. Staff is currently in the process of revamping this program and will bring this forward to the HCRA for review and adoption. Docusign Envelope ID: FED5E446-7863-48C3-9C34-16DC1975007A Planning Commission as HCRA 2025 Work Program Page 3 • Two (2) Historic Register Plaque Program Nominations Historic plaques are intended to recognize Tustin's historic properties, educate the public, increase public interest in historic properties, and promote community pride. To date, a total of 73 properties have received Tustin Historic Register plaques. During the 2024 Work Program Period, the HCRA approved the following two (2) nominations to the City's Historic Register Plaque Program: ■ 165 N. B Street (Dishman-Ames House 1930) - Approved by the HCRA on October 8, 2024. Mr. and Mrs. Dishman were longtime residents of Tustin, and the family lived in their home for thirty-four years. Ms. Ames was also a longtime resident of Tustin and occupied this home for 29 years. ■ 1082 Walnut Street (Truran-Grijalva House 1909) - Approved by the HCRA on August 27, 2024. The Truran and Grijalva families had a long association with the property, which dates to 1893. The Truran's purchased the property in 1893 and retained ownership for 19 years. They then sold the property to Mariano Grijalva, who resided in the house for 20 years. • Coordinate and organize two (2) in-house training sessions for the HCRA. Training sessions for 2024 were held in conjunction with the City's first Historic Preservation Week. The Historic Preservation Week included educational fun facts, information on historical resources, and virtual/walking tours that provided valuable trainings for the HCRA and the general public. • Provide ongoing maintenance and updates to the City's Historic Preservation focused webpage and Virtual Walking Tour with updated historic resource information for the public to utilize. Staff made updates to the City's Historic Preservation webpage in order to provide a more user-friendly experience. In addition, staff completed the new interactive resource to the community, the Old Town Tustin Historic Virtual Walking Tour. This self-guided walking tour features 14 historic sites throughout the Old Town area and takes participants on a journey through Tustin's history. As tour participants reach each stop, historic photos and facts about the site are accessible on any mobile device.

Create a GIS map that includes the property address, historic name, and brief background summary of all the properties included in the Historic Plaque Program that will be accessible to the public on the City's focused webpage. During the 2024 program year, efforts to create a Historic Plaque Program map were put on hold as efforts were made toward an online interactive mapping tool (the Historic Preservation StoryMap). The Historic Preservation StoryMap plots the results of the City's 2021 Historic Preservation Survey on a digital map, making the survey results, along with other information, more accessible to the public. This tool modernizes Tustin's historic preservation information. Using Geographical Information Technology (GIS), the historic preservation staff and City's GIS team worked together to develop the Historic Preservation StoryMap with the goal of helping users to better understand historic preservation patterns, relationships and geographic context within the City's Cultural Resource Overlay District. The 2021 Survey is an important database for historic preservation, as it provides a comprehensive assessment of all historic properties through 1976. The StoryMap consolidates all of the 2021 Survey historic properties within the City into one online resource, along with the images and property specific information contained within the State's Department of Parks & Recreation (DPR) forms. Links to other historic preservation programs and resources are also included in the StoryMap. This new tool will help future decision-making needs relative to historic preservation in Tustin. The link to the StoryMap can be found by clicking on the following link: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/fat cel 87177640ecbaaad8d97440a0df • Actively participate in City events within the City's Cultural Resource District to encourage community participation and expand knowledge relative to City-wide historic preservation. Staff actively participated in community events to increase awareness of the City's historic preservation efforts. At these events, staff established an informational booth where they were able to provide information about the City's historic preservation programs and benefits of participating in Mills Act and plaque program. In addition, staff collaborated with local and regional historic preservation groups to further the City's historic preservation efforts. The following is a list of events where historic preservation efforts were showcased: ■ Virtual Old Town Walking Tour ■ Historic Preservation Week Docusign Envelope ID: FED5E446-7863-48C3-9C34-16DC1975007A Planning Commission as HCRA 2025 Work Program Page 5 ■ Tustin Street Fair ■ Home and Garden Tour ■ Tustin Library ■ Tustin Area Museum • Other matters as may be referred to the HCRA by the City Council or the Community Development Director. Staff submitted the City's Old Town Virtual Walking Tour mobile application for consideration of the Governor's Award presented by the State's Office of Historic Preservation. To be eligible, nominees should demonstrate that they have made significant contributions over time to the advancement of historic preservation and/or the preservation of historical resources in California. It is anticipated that the State will announce the winners of the award categories later this year. Proposed 2025 Work Program Staff proposes the following goals and objectives for the calendar year 2025 Work Program: • Actively participate in City events to encourage community participation and expand knowledge base relative to Citywide historic preservation. • Update Commendation program for clarity and significance. • Two (2) Historic Plaque program nominations. • Co-host the Tustin Historic Preservation Week with local historic preservation groups, and expand on the success of the 2024 inaugural year. • Each Commissioner shall receive a minimum of the equivalent of one (1) six (6)-hour day of training, one (1) mandatory introductory training for new Commissioners and one (1) refresher course for more seasoned Commissioners. • Other matters as may be referred to the HCRA by City Council or the Community Development Director.
