Biro, property owners, for the <br />structure located at 2002 North Heliotrope Drive, subject to non-substantive changes approved <br />by the City Manager and City Attorney at its October 4, 2012 meeting by a vote of 6:0 <br />(Bustamante and Yrarrazaval absent). <br />DISCUSSION <br />After the public hearing on October 4, 2012, the Historic Resources Commission reviewed the <br />proposed Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract) and concluded that the <br />resulting potential property tax savings would encourage the owner to reinvest the tax savings in <br />the maintenance of their historic property, and would benefit both the owner and the community <br />(Exhibit A). Additionally, the agreement prevents inappropriate alterations. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the property tax revenue to the City by <br />an estimated $148.44 to $742.20 annually, for a period of not less than ten years. <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Jay', Trevino Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director Executive Director <br />Planning & Building Agency Finance & Management Services Agency <br />HS:rb <br />hs\historic info\mills act agreements\hppal2-04_2002_N_Heliotrope.cc <br />Exhibit: A.
