on all matters related to the Cultural Resources (Old Town) District and serves as a liaison
between residents, property owners, and the City Council, per Tustin City Code (TCC)
Section 9252(c).
On February 25, 2025, the Planning Commission, acting as the HCRA to the City Council,
adopted Resolution No. 4521, approving the 2025 HCRA Work Program.
2024 Work Program - Accomplishments
The following is a summary of the HCRA accomplishments during the 2024 calendar
(Attachment B):
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.
• 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 34 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

• Create a Historic Plaque Program inventory. 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:

• 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

■ Historic Preservation Week
■ 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 and Economic 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 HCRA Work Program
In the spirit of re-evaluating prior years and determining an upcoming work program for
the following year, staff proposes to repeat and build upon the success of the 2024 HCRA
work program with activities that would continue to promote further interest, education,
and public awareness about historic preservation in Tustin. This year, staff is excited to
propose the second inaugural "Historic Preservation Week" in which the City will include
a week of information, interesting facts and helpful resources related to historic
preservation, and activities in Tustin.
The following are the recommended goals and objectives for the 2025 HCRA Work
Program:
1. Actively participate in City events to encourage community participation and
expand knowledge base relative to Citywide historic preservation.
2. Update Commendation program for clarity and significance.
