Recommended action
That the City Council approve HRPP2018-0001, a Historic Property Preservation Agreement for the property listed as Historic Landmark-47 (HL-047) located at 1839 S. Main Street.
Body
ANALYSIS:
The property located at 1839 S. Main Street was approved by the City Council on August 1, 2018 as Historic Landmark HL-047 and placed on Corona’s Register of Historic Resources (HRLM2018-0001). Because of the property’s listing as a local historic landmark, the property owners can participate in a Historic Property Preservation Agreement, also known as the Mills Act Contract with the City of Corona. The Agreement allows the property owner of this historic landmark to receive a reduction in property tax in exchange for a commitment to maintain and preserve the home’s historic value. Program regulations specify that the City will process all applications at a single Council meeting for submission to the County Assessor prior to the end of the calendar year. The property tax reduction will become effective on the subsequent year’s tax bill. The inclusion of this property into the program will bring the total number of property preservation contracts to 40.
The purpose of the program is to provide financial incentives to owners to preserve and maintain their historic homes for the benefit of the entire community. The preservation of historic resources will have a positive, indirect effect on neighborhoods, businesses, community pride and regional image, particularly in the downtown where the majority of the historic resources are located. The agreement has a term of 10 years with one additional year automatically added on the anniversary date of the effective date of the agreement unless a notice of non-renewal is issued to the City. Community Development Department staff will monitor compliance with the terms of the contract to ensure that the anticipated benefits to the City are realized.
