Kieu and Quynh Kieu, property owners, for the structure <br />located at 2221 North Heliotrope Drive, subject to non - substantive changes approved by the City <br />Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Request of Applicant <br />The applicants, Chan Q. Kieu and Quynh Kieu, are requesting the approval of Historic Property <br />Preservation Agreement No. 2014 -25 (Mills Act) between the property owner and the City of Santa <br />Ana. <br />Property Description <br />The subject property consists of a two -story Art Moderne - styled residence and attached garage <br />located at 2221 North Heliotrope Drive. The site is within the Single Family Residential (R1) zoning <br />district. Surrounding land uses are residential (Exhibit 1). <br />Analysis of the Issues <br />In March 1999, the City Council approved an ordinance authorizing Historic Property Preservation <br />Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act contracts, for eligible historic properties. The <br />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 to maintain its character and <br />appearance. Once recorded, the agreement triggers the use of a different valuation method in <br />determining the property's assessed value, thereby resulting in potentially significant property tax <br />savings for the owner. <br />EXHIBIT B17 <br />25A -201 <br />
