Acting 1 annrrvµ <br />g Manager <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute <br />the attached agreement with Henry L. Jenkins and Sally Ann Salisbury, property owners, for the <br />structure located at 2223 North Flower Street, subject to non- substantive changes approved by the <br />City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Request of Applicant <br />The applicants, Henry L. Jenkins and Sally Ann Salisbury, are requesting the approval of Historic <br />Property Preservation Agreement No. 2014 -10 (Mills Act) between the property owner and the City <br />of Santa Ana. <br />Property Description <br />The subject property consists of a two -story Minimal Traditional /Colonial Revival- styled residence <br />and garage located at 2223 North Flower Street. The site is within the Single Family Residential <br />(R1) zoning 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 B5 <br />25A -61 <br />
