CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 11/3/2014
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Teri Baker, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2014-82 establishing the Mills Act Program which provides
an economic incentive to encourage the preservation of historic buildings
Statement of Issue:
The Mills Act Program is a state law designed to provide financial incentives for property owners
that restore and maintain historic residential and commercial properties. The financial incentives
are derived by using a different assessed methodology for historic properties and results in a
reduced property tax bill. The property tax savings must then be used to restore and maintain the
historic property. The Historic Resources Board has long sought for the City to adopt a Mills Act
Program. In order to implement the program, State law requires cities to adopt a resolution
describing the program details.
Financial Impact:
Negligible amount of property tax loss. Applicants will be encouraged to contact the County of
Orange to obtain an assessment of potential tax savings prior to completing a Mills Act application
with the City of Huntington Beach.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2014-82. "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Establishing the Application Process, Review Procedures, and Required Contract Provisions for the
Implementation of a Mills Act Program in the City of Huntington Beach Pursuant to Government
Code Section 50280, ET SEQ., and Setting an Application Fee."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt resolution and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
In 1972, the State of California enacted California Government Code Article 12, Section 50280,
more commonly knows as the Mills Act. The Mills Act was enacted as an economic incentive
program to encourage the preservation of historic buildings. This legislation provides property tax
relief for owners of qualified historic properties who contract with a local government to abide by
reasonable preservation requirements. The agreement between the property owner and the City
allows the property to be assessed using a different methodology, which results in a reduction in
property taxes paid by the property owner. Over one hundred (100) cities throughout California
have adopted Mills Act programs, including approximately nine (9) in Orange County. The program
is strictly voluntary and does not have any impact on those historic property owners who do not
wish to participate.
Item 16. - 1 HB -512-
Dept. ID AD 14-132 Page 2 of 3
Meeting Date: 11/3/2014
Local Governments that would like to offer a Mills Act Program to historic building owners must
adopt a resolution establishing the program. The Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board
(HRB) has long sought to establish the program and is in full support. Staff met with the HRB on
several occasions to discuss the draft documents that are before the City Council today. Below is a
summary of the attached resolution establishing the program:
• Ten (10) eligible applications will be accepted each year between January 1 and March 31
on a first-come-first-served basis and submitted to the City Council for approval. Approved
agreements will be filed with the County by December in order to meet the property tax
deadlines for a tax reduction in the following year.
• Eligibility will be limited to the 260 properties identified in the Draft Huntington Beach
Historic Context and Survey Report (Appendix B — Landmarks List as updated or amended)
or any Federal or State official register of historically significant sites, places, and
landmarks.
• The application fee of$500 (as established in the Master Fee Resolution) will be paid at the
time of application and if for any reason an agreement will not be entered into, a portion of
the fee will be refunded based on the amount of staff time spent on the application to that
point.
The HRB expressed interest in qualifying more properties for the program. However, because of
the limited amount of applications being allowed each year, staff is recommending that eligibility be
limited to properties identified in the Draft Huntington Beach Historic Context and Survey Report
(Appendix B — Landmarks List as updated or amended) or any Federal or State official register of
historically significant sites, places, and landmarks. The Draft Historic Element update and Historic
Context and Survey Report are anticipated to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City
Council early next year. After the first year of the program, the City Council can consider expanding
the list of eligible properties based on interest in the program.
The Mills Act will require the property owner to enter into a ten (10) year agreement with the City.
The "Historic Property Preservation Agreement" must be approved by the City Council. The
agreement specifies the standards required for property improvement, required inspections of the
work by the City, provisions for annual compliance, and remedies for breach of such agreement.
In addition to the resolution, HRB reviewed and provided written comment on the agreement. Many
of their recommendations have been incorporated; however, there were a few that staff does not
recommend such as: waiving all fees associated with the program (including building permit fees);
reducing the number of days for protest in the case of breach; increasing the number of days to
respond to a violation; and 100% allowance (instead of 60%) to reconstruct and continue with the
Mills Act Program in the event of a destruction due to a natural disaster.
Property owners may save 50% or more on their property tax bill. The savings must be used
toward renovation and maintenance. The City will lose sixteen (16) percent of the property tax
savings realized by the property owner. The County Assessor's Office calculates the actual
savings by determining certain key elements. Commercial and Residential properties are
calculated differently. Factors include:
• Gross Income - Fair Rental Value
• Maintenance Costs
• Interest Rate as determined annually by the Board of Equalization
• Risk—set by Mills ACT Statute (4% residential, 2% commercial)
• Capitalization Rate

Environmental Status:
The Mills Act program is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a
significant effect on the environment.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Improve the City's infrastructure

•
Th
e Mills Act isa State Law allowing cities to
enter into contracts with owners of historic
structures.
• The contract allows the county assessor to
reduce the property tax using a different
methodology. Tax savings must be used to
maintain/preserve the property.
SUPPLEMENTAL

Meeting Cate:
Agenda Item No. �b 1
11/3/2014
• Properties identified in the Draft Huntington
Beach Historic Context and Survey Report.
• Federal or State register of historically
significant sites, places, and landmarks.
• Approximately 260 properties will be eligible.
How it Works
• Eligible owners of historic buildings may apply
with the City between January and March of
each year.
• Each application will contain a work plan of
anticipated work over the ten (10) year
period.
• Ten (10) (eligible) applications will be
accepted on first come first served basis.

11/3/2014
How it Works
• City Council will be asked to approve up to ten
(10) agreements each year.
• Each agreement will be for a ten (10) year
term.
• Approved applications will be delivered to the
County Assessor's Office.
• Property valuation is determined by the
"income" method set out in Revenue and
Taxation Code, Section 439.21.
• Generally, the income less certain expenses is
divided by a capitalization rate to determine
the assessed value of the property.
• Applicants will be encouraged to work with
the County Assessor's Office to determine
their savings amount prior to applying to the
City.

Hypothetical
Property Tax Calculation
• Current Assessed Valuation $250,000
• Current Taxes $3,125
Once the County applies the assessed
methodology (gross income less expenses and
applies the capitalization rate), the new
property tax will be $11135 annually, thus
resulting in a savings of $1,990 per year to
be used towards improvements/maintenance.
