MEETING DATE: DECEMBER15, 2020
TO: MATTHEW S. WEST, CITY MANAGER
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: MILLS ACT PROGRAM — HISTORIC PROPERTY PRESERVATION
AGREEMENT FOR 250 PACIFIC STREET
SUMMARY:
The Mills Act is State legislation that provides for reduced property taxes on a historic
property if the property owner agrees to maintain and preserve the property for a minimum
of ten (10) years. On June 16, 1997, the City Council authorized the implementation of a
Mills Act program and established a policy specifying which properties would be eligible for
the program. Attachment A of this report includes a draft historic property preservation
agreement for the property located at 250 Pacific Street.
Owners: Michael and Harriet Goren
Location: 250 Pacific Street
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 20-73 authorizing the execution of a Historic
Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract) with Mr. and Mrs. Goren, the owners
of the property located at 250 Pacific Street.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The execution of the historic property preservation agreement would reduce the property
owner's property tax payment by approximately Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00)
annually and proportionately reduce the City's share of the property tax revenue for the
property. The $500.00 application fee partially offsets staff and City Attorney fees to meet
with the applicant, conduct the property inspection, review the application, prepare
correspondence, the contract and City Council report, and administer the contract, which
are estimated to be $1,500 for the minimum ten (10)-year contract period.

CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
The proposed Historic Property Preservation Agreement furthers Goal A of the City of
Tustin's Strategic Plan pertaining to the vibrancy and quality of life in all neighborhoods
and areas of the community.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Adopted by the California Legislature in 1976, the Mills Act gives local governments the
authority to grant property tax relief to owners of qualified historic properties, including
owner-occupied single-family residences and income producing properties. In exchange
for this relief, the property owners must agree, by contract, to maintain the properties in
accordance with specific historic preservation standards and conditions.
According to State law, all properties that are assessed property taxes and listed on a
historic register or survey, are potentially eligible to participate in a local Mills Act program.
If desired, each community has the discretion to target the program to specific historic
properties. In June of 1997, the Tustin City Council authorized the implementation of a
Mills Act program in the City of Tustin and established a policy for historic property
preservation agreements (which are commonly called Mills Act contracts) by resolution.
Pursuant to Council's direction, the Mills Act program is made available to the owners of
residential properties with an "A," "B," or "C" rating in the 1990 Tustin Historical Resources
Survey. Residential properties with equivalent ratings in the 2003 Historical Resources
Survey are also eligible to participate.
Property Description
The residence at 250 Pacific Street is located within the Cultural Resources District and
has "B" and "5131" ratings in the City's 1990 and 2003 Historical Resources Surveys,
respectively. A "5131" rating in the 2003 Historical Resources Survey represents a property
that is locally significant both individually and as a contributor to a district that is locally
listed, designated, determined eligible or appears eligible through survey evaluation. The
Spanish Colonial Revival home was built in 1928 and owned by F.M. Carter, from 1928 to
1965. The builder of the home is unknown (see Figure 1). The period of significance for
this property is 1900-1945. Copies of the 1990 and 2003 Historical Resources Survey
excerpts of the property are attached (Attachment B).
The 2003 Survey contains a description of the character defining features of this home
including a red tile clad roof and a gabled wing that projects toward the front with a round
gable vent, two (2) nine (9) light windows, one of which is flanked by multipaned casement
sidelights, facing the courtyard, shaped wing wall on the north end matching another on
the south end of the covered entrance, Byzantine style arch leading to the entry porch, a
matching porch opening onto the courtyard on the south side with low solid stucco clad
wall, stucco chimney flanked by small windows on the south side, casement windows

Mills Act Contract Provisions
Exhibit A of Resolution 20-73 includes a draft historic property preservation agreement
(Mills Act contract) prepared by the City Attorney and the Community Development
Department for the property located at 250 Pacific Street.
The draft agreement contains all of the contract provisions required by State law. These
provisions are discussed below. As requirements of State law, these provisions may not
be modified-, however, optional provisions are included in the agreement at the discretion
of the City Council.
Required Mills Act Contract Provisions
As noted in the draft agreement, the required minimum term of a historic property
preservation agreement (Mills Act contract) is ten (10) years. Each year, the contract term
is automatically extended an additional year, unless terminated by the property owner or
the City of Tustin for any reason. If terminated without penalty, the agreement would end
at the end of the current ten (10)-year term. The property owner is assessed a penalty of
twelve and one-half (12.5) percent of the property's current fair market value at the time of

cancellation if the contract is canceled by the property owner prior to the end of the ten
(10)-year period. However, there is no penalty for contract cancellation if the property is
significantly damaged by an Act of God or accidental cause, such as fire, flood, or
earthquake.
If the property is sold, the contract is binding upon all successors in interest to the owner,
who will have the same rights and obligations under the contract as the original owner who
entered into the contract.
Pursuant to Section 50281 of the California Government Code, the agreement provides for
the preservation and maintenance of the characteristics of historical significance of the
qualified historical property. City staff would utilize the Secretary of the Interior's Standards
for Rehabilitation, the City of Tustin Residential Design Guidelines, and applicable Building
Codes in evaluating the preservation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of the property.
The interior and exterior of the premises must be made available for periodic examinations
by prior appointment by representatives of the City, the County Assessor, the Department
of Parks and Recreation, and the State Board of Equalization. Furthermore, to ensure
compliance with the terms and provisions, the agreement includes a provision that
requires the owner to furnish any pertinent information needed by the City.
Tustin Mills Act Contract Provisions
The draft agreement includes standard terms and conditions, which are contained within
Exhibit A of the draft historic property preservation agreement (Attachment A). The
provisions are intended to be modified on a case-by-case basis.
For example, the agreement provides for the restoration or rehabilitation of the property
according to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, the State
Historical Building Code, and the regulations of the State Office of Historic Preservation.
The Agreement also includes provisions for a photographic portfolio, landscape and
property maintenance, a schedule for repair and rehabilitation, maintained visibility,
submission of an annual report, and a prohibition on demolition.
The schedule of repair and rehabilitation includes one (1) item (paint exterior of house and
garage in the 10th year) that were identified by City staff, in consultation with the owner, as
being necessary over the minimum ten (10) year contract term. By entering into a Mills
Act contract with the City, the owner would agree to the following:
Year 10.-
0
0:• Paint exterior of house and garage.

According to the terms of the contract, the improvements may be completed to the
satisfaction of the City no later than one (1) year following the year indicated.
Contract Recordation
Following contract execution, the agreement will be recorded with the Orange County
Recorder's Office and copies will be forwarded to the County Assessor and the State
Office of Historic Preservation.
Because Mills Act assessments are made on an annual basis, the tax benefits associated
with executed contracts submitted to the County Assessor by January 1 will take effect on
the following July 1 of the same year.

COMMENT:
DESCRIPTION:
An elaborate red-tile-clad roof shapes the character of the ell-shaped single-storied Spanish Colonial Revival house at 250 Pacific.
A gabled wing,projecting toward the front, is centered with a round gable vent and a nine-light window. A shaped wingwall on
the north end matches one on the south end of the covered entrance. A Byzantinc-style arch leads into the entry porch. A
thatching arch opens onto the open courtyard on the south side-, the area is bordered with a low solid stucco-clad wall, A
stucco-clad chimney, flanked by small windows,is located on the south side. A 9-light stationary window,flanked by multi-paned
casement sidelights, looks out onto the courtyard. Casement windows are used throughout the rest of the house. Cloth awnings
provide shade. The original varnished door is still in use.
SIGNIFICANCE:
F.M. Carter who owned this house from 1928 to 1965 operated a grocery store adjacent tot he Knights of Phythias buillding on El
Camino Real. This house is a fine example of a Spanish colonia home and receives its significance from its architcctrual
character.
