DATE: January 4, 2017 CONSENT AGENDA
SUBJECT: MILLS ACT HISTORIC SITE CONTRACT WITH CHRISTOPHER SMITH
AND THE SANDCLIFF HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1817 SANDCLIFF ROAD, A CLASS 1
HISTORIC SITE (HSPB 93/HD 5).
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Planning Services
SUMMARY
This action would engage the City of Palm Springs into a standard Mills Act Agreement
with Christopher Smith, (APN 510-040-007) and the Sandcliff Homeowners Association.
The intent of this contract is to require maintenance and preservation of this Class 1
historic site in exchange for possible property tax relief as determined by Riverside
County.
RECOMMENDATION:
1 . Approve a Mills Act Historic Property Agreement between the City of Palm
Springs, Christopher Smith and Sandcliff Homeowners Association, for 1817
Sandcliff Road, a Class 1 Historic Site (HSPB #93/HD-5).
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.
3. Direct the City Clerk to record the Agreement.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On February 03, 2016, the City Council designated Sandcliff Community a Historic
District (HSPB #93/ Historic District #5). Sandcliff Garden Homes Historic District is
comprised of forty residences clustered around common amenities and open space. As
such, each of the forty units are deemed "contributing" and are therefore subject to
Class 1 regulations and are also each qualified for application for a Mills Act Historic
Property Preservation Agreement.
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 50280 — 50290, upon the application
of an owner of any qualified historic property, the legislative body of a city may contract
ITEM NO. I. 3*
City Council Staff Report
January 4, 2017— Page 2
Mills Act Agreement— 1817 Sandcliff Road
with the owner or agent to restrict the use of the property to carry out the purposes and
goals of historic preservation of the property. Such a contract is commonly referred to
as a "Mills Act Agreement' and it provides for possible alternative property tax rate
calculations in exchange for specific and ongoing preservation and maintenance of the
property, specifically its historically significant elements and characteristics.
The property at 1817 Sandcliff Road has been deemed a "contributing structure" within
the Sandcliff Garden Homes Historic District. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section
8.05.125, contributing structures in a historic district are subject to Class 1 regulations
and are designated Class 1 historic sites. California Governmental Code Section
50280.1 denotes that properties that are eligible for application of a Mills Act contract
must be listed in a state, city, or county official register of historic sites. As such, the
property at 1817 Sandcliff Road is qualified for a Mills Act Contract.
At Sandcliff Garden Homes Historic District, routine maintenance and upkeep of the
building exteriors and grounds is a shared responsibility of the homeowners association
(HOA) and the individual unit owners. Because of this shared responsibility, the Mills
Act Agreement in this particular case has been drafted with both the homeowner and
the HOA as parties to the agreement. If other individual homeowners at the Sandcliff
Garden Homes Historic District wish to pursue a Mills Act Agreement in the future, the
same contractual arrangement would apply.
FISCAL IMPACT: None
There is no known fiscal impact upon the city as a result of this recommended action.
