<br />HPPA No. 2004-04 <br />August 5, 2004 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />One of the eligibility requirements for the Mills Act is that the <br />property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical <br />Properties. The subject property was placed on the local register and <br />categorized as Landmark in April 2004 by the Historic Resources <br />Commission (Exhibit 1). <br /> <br />Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City <br />enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Exhibit 2). A <br />review of the property indicates that this craftsman styled structure is <br />in excellent condition. As a result, a supplemental property <br />rehabilitation plan will not be required as part of this agreement. <br />Photos of the property are included with the agreement as well as a <br />photo location map. The benefits of executing this agreement include, <br />but are not limited to, the following: <br /> <br />1 . <br /> <br />Reduced property tax to allow reinvestment for the long-term <br />preservation of the property. <br /> <br />2 . <br /> <br />Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation. <br /> <br />3 . <br /> <br />Provides an additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase <br />historic structures. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />Discourages inappropriate alterations to the historic property. <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />Provides an opportunity for visual improvement to the physical <br />environment of the community. <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />Offers additional support and attention for historic districts <br />and historic structures in the City. <br /> <br />CEQA Compliance <br /> <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the <br />recommended action is exempt from further review. A Notice of Exemption <br />will be filed for this project. <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Hally So oleske <br />Assistant Planner II <br /> <br /> <br />?to~ <br /> <br />Senior Planner <br /> <br />HS : JM <br />hS\historic info\mills act agreements\HPPA04-04_1720_N_Poinsettia.hrc <br /> <br />25A-4 <br />
