SUBJECT: HISTORIC PROPERTY PRESERVATION AGREEMENT ("MILLS ACT
CONTRACT') BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS AND JAIME
RUMMERFIELD FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 300 EAST
MOLINO ROAD.
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY
The property at 300 East Molino Road is a Wexler Steel Home and was designated a
Class 1 historic site on May 2, 2001. The HSPB, at their June 14, 2005 meeting, voted
5-0 (1 abstention) to recommend that the City Council approve the Historic Property
Preservation Agreement between the City and Jaime Rummerfield. The City Attorney
and property owner have reviewed and approved the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Minute Order No. , approving a Historic Property Preservation Agreement
("Mills Act Contract') with Jaime Rummerfield for the property located at 300 East Molino
Road; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute ail necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Mills Act is a state sponsored legislation granting local governments the authority to
directly participate in an historic preservation program. It is designed to provide private
property owners with an economic incentive, via property tax relief, to actively
participate in the restoration of their historic properties.
Property owners may qualify for property tax relief if they pledge to restore and maintain
the historical and architectural character of their properties for at least a ten-year period.
A formal agreement known as a Mills Act contract is executed between the local
government and the property owner for a minimum ten-year term. Contracts are
automatically renewed each year and are transferred to new owners when the property
Item No. 2 . K .

300 East Molino Road — Mills Act Contract
is sold. Property owners agree to preserve and maintain the property in accordance
with specific historic preservation standards and conditions as identified in the contract.
Local authorities may impose penalties for breach of contract or failure to protect the
historic property. The contract is binding to all owners during the contract period.
The contract is jointly administered by local and county governments. The loss in
property tax revenue is absorbed by the County.
A qualified historic property is a property listed on any official federal, state, county, or
city register. As a Class 1 historic site, 300 East Molino Road is recognized as a
qualified historic property under the Mills Act.
For properties that enter into a Mills Act contract, there is little effect over the first few
years but as the property is restored over a longer period of time, the value increases
and the property tax savings may increase over time. The property owners have
consulted with their tax advisors and determined that entering into a Mills Act contract
with the City will be mutually beneficial for both parties. The owners also understand
that entering into the Mills Act contract only represents the potential for property tax
savings and is not a guarantee.
The property is currently in good condition and the current owners of 300 East Molino
Road are willing to invest in the continued restoration and preservation of the property in
the future. The potential property tax savings provided by the Mills Act contract will
assist the owners in defraying the costs associated with maintaining the property.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
In accordance with Section 15331 (Historical Resources Restoration/Rehabilitation) of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Mills Act contract is categorically
exempt from environmental review as the nature of the contract between the City and
the property owner meets the conditions outlined for preservation of a historic resource.
Any future physical changes proposed for the exterior of the property may be subject to
further environmental review.

3. Maintenance Standards for Historic Property. During the term of this Agreement, the Historic
Property shall be subject to the following conditions, requirements, and restrictions:
3.1 Owner shall restore and rehabilitate, and thereafter preserve and maintain, the Wexler
Steel Home, as necessary to retain the historical significance of the Historic Property, in
substantial conformance with the architectural plans and drawings listed on Exhibit B
("Plans"), true and correct copies of which shall be maintained in the City's Planning
Department. Plans are on Pile in the Department of Planning Services, City Hall, 3200 E.
Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs. Owner and City agree and acknowledge that City
has reviewed and approved the Plans, and that the Plans formed the basis both for the
Council's approval of the Historic Property as an historic landmark and for the Council's
decision to cause City to enter into this Agreement. Owner and City further agree and
acknowledge that the Plans, as of the Approval Date, comply with the standards for a
qualified historic property within the meaning of Goverment Code Section 50284, as
this section is applied, and will hereafter be applied, to the Historic Property. Owner may
hereafter modify the Plans, or alter or remove any structures, improvements or features
from the Plans, and from the Historic Property(other than the Wexler Steel Home), after
the Completion Date (as defined below), only so long as any such modifications,
alterations and/or removal do not materially and adversely affect the historical
significance of the Historic Property as determined in Owner's reasonable discretion;
provided, however, that Owner may perform routine maintenance and repair of the
Wexler Steel Home, but may not materially alter the Wexler Steel Home without the
prior approval of City which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Before performing any work requiring the approval of City, Owner shall give at least
sixty (60) days' written notice to City, describing the work to be done; if City shall not
have acted within sixty (60) days thereafter to disapprove the work, or to approve the
work subject to specified conditions,the work shall be deemed approved as submitted. In
all events, City's Director of Planning Services shall be notified of all changes to the
2
Historic Property and/or the Plans which Owner reasonably determines to be significant,
prior to implementation of the changes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Owner shall not be required to perform any restoration or rehabilitation to the Historic
Property except as specified in the Plans as of the Approval Date. Upon completion of the
rehabilitation in accordance with the Plans ("Completion Date"), no further restoration or
rehabilitation shall be required, and Owner shall only be required to maintain the
Historical Property in accordance with the Plans as of the Approval Date, without regard
to any subsequent changes in law or regulations.
3.2 Upon reasonable advance notice, Owner shall allow reasonable periodic examinations of
the interior and exterior of the Historic Property by City, County Assessor, and the State
Board of Equalization, as may be necessary to determine Owner's compliance with the
terns and provisions of this Agreement.
3.3 Owner shall landscape the Historic Property so as to pennit a view corridor near the
entrance to the Wexler Steel Home, enabling the general public to see the entry to the
Wexler Steel Home from the portion of Molino Road adjacent to the Historic Property,
and an historical marker briefly documenting the site for public view shall be maintained
adjacent to the public right-of-way near the entry within one (1) year after the
Completion Date. Such marker has been provided by the City and is in City's standard
form used for historical properties as of the Effective Date(as to size, material, text, exact
location and method of installation), and in the event of its loss, theft, or destruction, shall
be replaced at Owner's sole cost and expense(provided, however, that if the total cost and
expense of creating and installing the marker shall exceed$500, the excess shall be borne
solely by City), and maintained at Owner's sole cost and expense. City acknowledges and
agrees that Owner is maintaining the Historic Property as a private residence, and the
marker and view corridor shall be situated and limited so as to minimize public intrusion
and afford Owner all reasonable expectations of privacy.
3.4 Owner shall take reasonable steps to obtain and keep in force during the term of this
Agreement a policy or policies of insurance (or a reasonable substitute therefor) covering
damage to the Wexler Steel Home against all perils included within the classification of
fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief and other generally covered
perils, but excluding earthquake, flood and other matters either not generally available
within the Palm Springs area, or not generally offered in such a policy without requiring
an additional premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein. Owner shall not
be required to pay insurance premiums in an aggregate amount exceeding $1,000.00 a
year (in 1997 dollars) for the Wexler Steel Home. Failure to maintain insurance or a
reasonable substitute therefor shall be grounds for termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 5(a)below.
4. Provision of Information. Owner hereby agrees to furnish City with all reasonable information
requested by City which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms
and provisions of this Agreement.
5. Non-Renewal and Cancellation.
(a) City may elect not to renew this Agreement in its reasonable discretion consistent with
applicable law, including without limitation that Owner has failed to comply with its
obligations hereunder.
3
(b) City, following a duly noticed public hearing before the Council, may elect to cancel this
Agreement only if the Council finds and determines that (i) Owner, through its own
willful or negligent acts, and subject to Section 16 below, has failed to restore or
rehabilitate the Historic Property in accordance with the Plans on or before the
Completion Date, or (ii) Owner, through its own willful or negligent acts, and subject to
Section 16 below, has allowed the Historic Property to deteriorate beyond the point that it
no longer meets the standards for a qualified historic property, and the deterioration is
serious and irreversible.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Historic Property shall be deemed to
meet the standards for a qualified historic property if it is in compliance with the Plans
and it is maintained in accordance with Section 3.2.
(d) If City determines to cancel or not to renew this Agreement as specified above, it shall
provide Owner with written notice of its intent to cancel or not renew, and such notice
must specify in detail the reasons for the cancellation and/or non-renewal and the steps
which Owner must take to cure any such problems (unless such reasons are not
susceptible of cure). If City determines in its reasonable discretion that Owner has not
tired such problems within ninety (90) days of such notice (or if curing such problems
will reasonably take longer than ninety(90) days and Owner has not commenced diligent
efforts to cure such problems within ninety(90) days), then City shall(i) with respect to a
decision to cancel, notice and hold a second public hearing before the Council to
deter ine whether to cancel this Agreement, or (ii) with respect to a decision not to
renew, provide Owner with written notice of its final decision not to renew this
Agreement. Notice of all hearings under this Agreement shall be given to Owner directly
pursuant to Section 11 below and published in accordance with Government Code
Section 6061.
(e) If City cancels (but not if City elects not to renew) this Agreement in accordance with
this Section 5, Owner shall pay a cancellation fee of twelve and one-half percent (12%z%)
of the full value of the Historic Property at the time of cancellation. The full value shall
be determined by the County Assessor without regard to any restriction on the Historic
Property imposed pursuant to this Agreement. The cancellation fee shall be paid to the
County Auditor at such time and in such manner as the Auditor shall prescribe. As an
alternative to cancellation of this Agreement for breach of any condition, City may
(without limiting Owner's right to elect not to renew this Agreement), but is not obligated
to, bring any action in court necessary to enforce the Agreement including,,but not
limited to, an action for specific perfornnance or injunction.
( Owner acknowledges that it may serve notice of its election not to renew this Agreement,
but that the Agreement will remain in place through the existing tern. Owner- further-
acknowledges that it may not cancel this Agreement for any reason.
6. No Compensation. Owner shall not receive any payment from City in consideration of the
obligations imposed Linder this Agreement other than costs in excess of$500 for the historical
marker. Owner and City acknowledge and agree that the primary consideration to City for the
execution of this Agreement is the substantial benefit to the citizens of Palm Springs accruing
from the rehabilitation and maintenance of the Historic Property, and the primary consideration to
Owner is the economic advantage that will accrue to Owner as a result of the possible effect upon
the assessed value of the Historic Property of the restrictions on the use and preservation of the
4
Historic Property imposed hereunder. However, Owner acknowledges that it is not guaranteed to
receive a reduction of property taxes as a result of this agreement.
7. Condemnation. Upon the filing of an action in eminent domain by a public entity for the taking of
all or any portion of any interest in the Historic Property, and a determination by City that such
action will frustrate the propose of this Agreement, then in such event this Agreement shall be
canceled as to those portions of the Historic Property that are affected by the condemnation action
(such that the value shall be appraised for condemnation purposes as unencumbered by the
historic property restrictions set forth herein), and no fee shall be imposed on Owner for
cancellation in accordance with Government Code Section 50286. If subsequent to the filing of
an action in eminent domain, the proposed condemnation is abandoned by the condemning
agency as to all or a portion of the Historic Property, the restrictions on the use of the Historic
Property included in this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated, the Historic Property shall
be deemed, retroactive to the date of such abandonment, to have been subject to this Agreement,
and the terns of this Agreement shall be in full force and effect.
8. Destruction. Upon any damage to or destruction of the Wexler Steel Home, Owner and City shall
proceed in accordance with this Section 8. In the event there is any damage to or destruction of
the Historic Property other than the Wexler Steel Home, this Agreement shall not be deemed to
require Owner to rebuild, repair or restore the damaged portion, and Owner shall not be held in
default under this Agreement for its failure to do so, provided, however, that this provision does
not relieve Owner of any obligation to repair or otherwise take action with respect to the Historic
Property to the extent required to do so by applicable state and federal laws and regulations, if
any, other than historical preservation laws.
(a) Minor Insured Damage In the event the Wexler Steel Home or any portion thereof is
damaged by any casualty that is covered by the insurance maintained by Owner, then
Owner shall rebuild, repair and restore the damaged portion thereof provided that (i) the
amount of insurance proceeds available to Owner equals or exceeds the cost of such
rebuilding, restoration and repair, and the total cost of repair is less than$250,000 (in the
opinion of a licensed architect, engineer or other qualified person selected by Owner and
approved by City in its reasonable discretion), (ii) such rebuilding, restoration and repair
can be completed within rune (9) months after the work commences, in the opinion of a
registered architect or engineer or other qualified person selected by Owner and approved
by City in its reasonable discretion, (iii) City has not acted to cancel or not to renew this
Agreement on or before the date of commencement, and (iv) such rebuilding, restoration
or repair is then permitted to be done under governmental laws, rules and regulations in
existence as of the Approval Date in such a manner as to return the damaged portion
thereof to substantially its condition immediately prior to the damage or destruction. To
the extent that insurance proceeds must be applied to reduce any indebtedness secured by
a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Historic Property or any portion thereof,
such proceeds, for the purposes of this subsection, shall be deemed not available to
Owner unless such beneficiary permits Owner to use such proceeds for the rebuilding,
restoration and repair of the damaged portion thereof. If Owner is required under this
Section to rebuild, restore or repair the Wexler Steel Home, such work shall commence
not later than one (1) year after receipt of the applicable insurance proceeds, and Owner
shall thereafter diligently proceed to complete such work within eighteen (18) months
after commencement; provided, however, that so long as Owner shall be diligently
proceeding toward completion of the work, such couunencement and completion dates
shall be extended by City's Director of Planning Services upon Owner's request.
5
(b) Major or Uninsured Damage In the event the Wexler Steel Home or any portion thereof
is damaged or destroyed by any casualty to the extent that Owner is not obligated, under
subsection (a) above, to rebuild, repair or restore the damaged portion thereof, then
within sixty (60)days after either (i) a final determination that damage is not an insured
claim (or one (1) year after the date of damage, whichever comes first), or (ii) Owner's
receipt of insurance premiums sufficient to rebuild (as determined under subsection (a)
above), Owner shall notify City of its election, at its option, either to (1) rebuild, restore
and repair the damaged portions thereof, in which case Owner's notice shall specify the
time period within which Owner estimates such repairs or restoration can be completed;
or (2) terminate this Agreement effective as of the date the damage or destruction
occurred. If Owner elects to rebuild, restore or repair the Wexler Steel Home under this
Section, such work shall commence not later than one (1) year after receipt of the
applicable insurance proceeds (or determination that the damage is not an insured claim),
and Owner shall thereafter diligently proceed to complete such work within eighteen(18)
months after commencement; provided, however, that so long as Owner shall be
diligently proceeding toward completion of the work, such commencement and
completion dates shall be extended by City's Director of Planning Services upon Owner's
request.
(c) Termination If Owner elects to tenninate this Agreement as provided in Section 8(b), no
cancellation fee shall be required. Upon Owner's election to terminate, the Historic
Property shall be reassessed retroactively, as of the damage or destruction date(s) (but
taking into account such damage or destruction), in accordance with applicable property
tax laws, as if the Historic Property was not subject to this Agreement following such
damage or destruction date(s).
9. Binding Effect of Agreement. Owner hereby subjects the Historic Property to the covenants,
reservations, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. City and Owner hereby declare their
specific intent that the covenants, reservations, and restrictions set forth herein shall be deemed
covenants rune ng with the land and shall pass to and be binding upon Owner's successors and
assigns in title or interest to the Historic Property. Each and every contract, deed or other
instrument hereinafter executed, covering or conveying the Historic Property, or any portion
thereof, shall conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered, and accepted subject to the
covenants, reservations, and restrictions expressed in this Agreement regardless of whether such
covenants, reservations, and restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instrument.
City and Owner hereby declare their understanding and intent that the burden of the covenants,
reservations, and restrictions set forth herein touch and concern the land in that Owner's legal
interest in the Historic Property is rendered less valuable thereby. City and Owner hereby further
declare their understanding and intent that the benefit of such covenants, reservations, and
restrictions touch and concern the land by entrancing and maintaining the historic characteristics
and significance of the Historic Property for the benefit of the public and Owner.
10. Unenforceability In the event a court of competent jurisdiction finds that this Agreement does
not constitute an enforceable restriction within the meaning of the applicable provisions of the
Government Code and the Revenue and Taxation Code, except for an umenforceability arising
from the cancellation or non-renewal of this Agreement, for any tax year during the original tern
or any renewal of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be null and void and without further
effect, and the Historic Property shall from such time be free from any restriction whatsoever
under this Agreement without any payment or further act of the parties to the Agreement.
6
11. Notice. Any notice required to be given by the terns of this Agreement shall be provided in
writing and shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested or delivered by a
