HPPA No. 2008-05 April 3, 2008 Page 2 One of the eligibility requirements for the Mills Act is that the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The subject property was placed on the local register and categorized as Contributive in March 2008 by the Historic Resources Commission (Exhibit 2). Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Exhibit 3) A review of the property indicates that this Spanish Colonial Revival styled structure is in excellent condition. As a result, a supplemental property rehabilitation plan will not be required as part of this agreement. Photos of the property are included with the agreement as well as a photo location map. The benefits of executing this agreement include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Reduced property tax to allow reinvestment for the long-term preservation of the property. 2. Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation. 3. Provides an additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures. 4. Discourages inappropriate alterations to the historic property. 5. Provides an opportunity for visual improvement to the physical environment of the community. 6. Offers additional support and attention for historic districts and historic structures in the City. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review under General Rule Section 15061(b)(3), and therefore, the recommended action is exempt from further review. A Notice of Exemption will be filed for this project.
