Walsh for the Joseph Albert Walsh and Ann <br />L. Walsh Revocable Trust, property owners, for the structure located at 2405 North Heliotrope <br />Drive subject to non - substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Request of Applicant <br />The applicants, Joseph Albert and Ann L. Walsh for the Joseph Albert Walsh and Ann L. Walsh <br />Revocable Trust, are requesting the approval of Historic Property Preservation Agreement No. <br />2014 -35 (Mills Act) between the property owner and the City of Santa Ana. <br />Property Description <br />The subject property consists of a two -story Mission /Spanish Colonial Revival- styled residence and <br />garage located at 2405 North Heliotrope Drive. The site is within the Single Family Residential <br />(R1) zoning district. Surrounding land uses are residential (Exhibit 1). <br />Analysis of the Issues <br />In March 1999, the City Council approved an ordinance authorizing Historic Property Preservation <br />Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act contracts, for eligible historic properties. The <br />agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax <br />reduction in exchange for the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good <br />state of repair and to rehabilitate the property as necessary to maintain its character and <br />appearance. Once recorded, the agreement triggers the use of a different valuation method in <br />determining the property's assessed value, thereby resulting in potentially significant property tax <br />savings for the owner. <br />EXHIBIT B27 <br />25A -303 <br />
