Ready, City Manager BY: Planning Services SUMMARY This action would engage the City of Palm Springs into a standard Mills Act Agreement with Robert P. Schaffer and Alan L. Pass, owners of 235 East Twin Palms Drive Unit 28, (APN 511-070-015) and the Royal Hawaiian Estates 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 calculated by the County of Riverside. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve a Mills Act Historic Property Agreement between the City of Palm Springs and Robert P. Schaffer and Alan L. Pass, and the Royal Hawaiian Estates Homeowners Association, for 235 East Twin Palms Drive, a Class 1 historic site (HSPB #73 / HD-2). 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement. 3. Direct the City Clerk to record the Agreement. STAFF ANALYSIS: On February 3, 2010, the City Council designated the Royal Hawaiian Estates a Historic District (HSPB #73 / Historic District #2). The Royal Hawaiian Estates Historic District is comprised of forty residences on roughly five acres. The residence at 235 East Twin Palms Drive is one of the residences defined as a contributing structure in the historic district. Pursuant with 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 with the owner or agent to restrict the use of the property to carry out the purposes and ITEM NO. �P City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2 January 13, 2016 Mills Act — 235 East Twin Palm Drive — Condo in the Royal Hawaiian Estates Historic District 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 235 East Twin Palms Drive has been deemed a "contributing structure" within the Royal Hawaiian Estates 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. State of 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, county official register of historic sites. As such, 235 East Twin Palms Drive is qualified for a Mills Act Contract. At Royal Hawaiian Estates, routine maintenance and upkeep of the building exteriors and grounds is a shared responsibility of the home -owners 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 homeowners and the HOA as parties to the agreement. If, in the future, other individual home owners at the Royal Hawaiian wish to pursue a Mills Act Agreement, 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. = Flinn Fagg, AIC� � Marcus L. Fuller, MPA, P.E., P.L.S.
