SUBJECT: MILLS ACT HISTORIC SITE CONTRACT — 107 EAST TWIN PALMS
DRIVE (HSPB #73 / HD-2 ROYAL HAWAIIAN ESTATES)
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 Patrick Henry and Alex William Gonzalez, owners of 107 East Twin Palms Drive,
(APN 511-070-006) 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 Patrick Henry and Alex William Gonzalez, and the Royal
Hawaiian Estates Homeowners Association, for 107 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. One Hundred Seven East Twin
Palms Drive is one of the residences defined as a contributing structure to 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.
City Council Staff Report
March 18, 2015 - Page 2
Mills Act— 107 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 107 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,
107 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 re com nded action.
