Chapel, request the approval of Historic Property <br /> Preservation Agreement No. 2010-16 (Mills Act) between the property owner and the City of Santa <br /> Ana. <br /> Property Description <br /> <br /> The subject property includes a single story Spanish Colonial Revival styled home with a detached <br /> garage located at 413 West Santa Clara Avenue (Exhibit 1). The property is within the Park <br /> Santiago neighborhood and the surrounding land uses are residential. <br /> <br /> Analysis of the Issues <br /> <br /> In March 1999, the City Council approved an ordinance authorizing Historic Property Preservation <br /> Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as the Mills Act contracts, for eligible historic properties. <br /> The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax <br /> reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good <br /> state of repair and to rehabilitate the property as necessary. Once recorded, the agreement <br /> triggers the use of a different valuation method in determining the property's assessed value, <br /> thereby resulting in potentially significant property tax savings for the owner. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 4 <br /> 25E-3 <br />
