Historic Property Preservation Agreements <br />November 21, 2017 <br />Page 2 <br />promote historic preservation. In August 2015, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-039 to <br />extend the fee reduction program until August 4, 2017. City Council did not reauthorize the <br />waiver and temporary reduction of certain Historic Application fees. Thus, as of August 4, 2017 <br />the Historic Listing Application fee of $5,597.24, and the Mills Act Application fee of $4,257.40 <br />were reinstated. City staff will be conducting a survey of other City historic programs and related <br />fiscal impacts, and providing City Council with recommendations to modify Santa Ana's Historic <br />Preservation Program practices in the early 2018. This action allows for the approval of a <br />Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract) which provides a potential property <br />tax reduction allowing the property owner to reinvest the tax savings into the maintenance of the <br />historic property (Exhibit A). Additionally, the agreement prevents inappropriate alterations to the <br />historic structures (Exhibits 61-134). <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability, <br />Engagement & Sustainability, Objective #2 (expand opportunities for conservation and <br />environmental sustainability) and Objective #3 (facilitate diverse housing opportunities and <br />support efforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account <br />01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $3,307.86 annually noted below, for a period of not <br />less than ten years. <br />HPPA No. <br />Address <br />Estimate <br />Exhibit No. <br />2017-16 <br />2045 North Greenleaf Street <br />$922.85 <br />B1 <br />2017-24 <br />2432 North Riverside Drive <br />$534.08 <br />B2 <br />2017-30 <br />512 West Santa Clara Avenue <br />$724.80 <br />B3 <br />2017-31 <br />1722 North Heliotrope Drive <br />$1,126.13 <br />B4 <br />Total for All Properties: <br />$3,307.86 <br />Candida Neal <br />Acting Executive Director <br />Planning & Building Agency <br />MM:rb &RFCA111-21-1TMills Act Agmts 11-21-17 <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Francisco Gutierrez EIK <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Management Services Agency <br />Exhibits: A.
