Approval of Historic Property Preservation Agreement <br /> May 5, 2026 <br /> Page 2 <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> On March 5, 2026, the Historic Resources Commission (HRC) recommended that the <br /> City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Mills Act agreements listed in <br /> Table 1, above, with the identified property owners for historic structures in the City, <br /> subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. This <br /> action allows for the approval of Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA/Mills <br /> Act Contract) which provide a property tax reduction whereby property owners agree to <br /> reinvest the tax savings towards the maintenance of the historic property. Additionally, <br /> the agreements prevent inappropriate alterations to the protected historic structures. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed projects are <br /> exempt from further review. Categorical Exemptions, Environmental Review Nos. 2026- <br /> 13 and 2026-12, will be filed for these projects. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The Historic Property Preservation Agreements will reduce the Property Tax revenue <br /> account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $2,229 annually, as noted below, <br /> for a period of not less than ten years. <br /> HPPA No. Address Estimate Exhibit No. <br /> 2026-2 2117 N.
