BACKGROUND On May 29, 2001 Council adopted a policy (policy #454-01) that allows the City of Chula Vista to enter into Mills Act Contracts with owners of historic properties. These contracts will help provide the property owners financial assistance in the form of property tax relief, which relief is intended to offset the costs of repairs and upkeep to retain the historic character of the property. Staff has . 8-1 Date, Item No.: P:, Meeting Date: 12-11-2007 Page 2 of 3 prepared contracts with the property owners of historic sites who have requested to participate in the Mills Act Program. To date the City has entered into approximately 30 Mills Act Agreements. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that this program is exempt per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15331, Class 31, Historical Resources . Restoration and Rehabilitation. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council adopt the resolution approving the four contracts. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Resource Conservation Commission (RCC) reviewed the attached contracts for the referenced properties on November 19, 2007 and recommends that the City Council approve each of the contracts that are being considered at this time. DISCUSSION The owners of the following four historically designated properties have applied to participate in the Mills Act Program this year: 1. 209 "D" Street, The Albert Barker House, Chula Vista Historic Site #27. 2. 210 Davidson Street, The Alfred Haines House, Chula Vista Historic Site #3. 3. 630 Del Mar Avenue, The George Rife House, Chula Vista Historic Site #15. 4. 613 Second Avenue, The Byron Bronson House, Chula Vista Historic Site #10. Staff has met with those property owners that have applied to participate in the Mills Act Program, and together with each individual has determined a list of potential improvements to the property to be completed over the next ten (10) years. Some of the potential improvements include: painting the homes with historic colors, new roofs, and general maintenance and repairs that will help retain the property's historic character. All of the proposed improvements are consistent with the historic preservation goals of Chula Vista. Each of these property owners has signed the contract, showing their commitment to the provisions of the contract. Each contract was considered by the RCC who recommended that Council approve said contracts. The City Council must approve the Mills Act contracts for the City to enter into each of the Mills Act Contracts. Upon approval by the City Council and signature by the Mayor, the contracts will be forwarded to the County Assessor's office for recordation. . DECISION-MAKER CONFLICTS No Property within 500 feet: Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no such holdings within 500 feet of the properties, which are the subject of this action. 8-2 Date, Item No.: ~ Meeting Date: 12-11-2007 Page 3 of 3 FISCAL IMPACT Each property will receive a reduction in property taxes a result of entering into the Mills Act Contract with the City. An estimation of how much a reduction each property owner would receive as a result of entering into the Mills Act contract is described in Attachments 1 through 4. The combined annual revenue loss from these four properties is estimated to be approximately $4,284.00. The City receives $0.147 of each property tax dollar and although the property tax revenue loss of each Mills Act property is relatively negligible, over time, if the City enters into Mills Act contracts with significant numbers of property owners, the revenue impacts could incrementally become significant.

When the City adopted the Mills Act program, the City found that there were no significant fiscal impacts that would cause any detriment to the City. They thought, on the contrary, that it would be a benefit the City. So, there is also no cap on the number of Mills Act Contracts that the City r in to. The public benefit is that the owner makes this contract that they ar to serve the integrity of this historic structure, and it's really for the be eft t ommunity and neighborhoods. These are all very deserving important ho J'he ous Del Mar was occupied by a previous Mayor who also served as C' nCI ers n. T ouse on '0' Street...he founded the Episcopalian Church.

A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics ofthe building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shaH be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alterations of features and spaces that characterize a property shaH be avoided. 3. Each property shaH be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shaH be preserved. 6.

Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. 7.

The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shaH be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8.

The home was built in 1888 for Alfred Haines, a noted attorney and jUdge. He served as vice president of the California State Bar Association and was a recognized authority on legal questions pertaining to water. In 1900, he appeared before the United States Supreme Court to argue for Chula Vista growers in what became known as the Chula Vista Water Rate Case. Judge Haines surrounded this orchard house with citrus trees. Another important owner of this home was Hancil Cordrey, who purchased the property around 1919. Cordrey had worked as a carpenter and later became a chiropractor. When he purchased this house, Hancil Cordrey converted a barn"on the property into a manufacturing plant where he created and produced hardware specialties. This house is significant as the home of the important Haines and Cordrey families, and as one of the few remaining Victorian orchard houses. The building retains much of its Driginal materials and design. Locational skatch map (draw and label site and surrounding strest.:s, roads. and prominent landmarks): ANORTH U " 20.

A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alterations of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8.

Briefly state historical and/or ard1itectural importance (include dates. events, and persons associated with the site.) This spectacular house known locally as the "Blue Castle" has been designated Chula Vista Historic Site No. 10. The early history of the home is unknown, although it apparently was constructed around 1888. The San Diego Land & Town Company sold the property to Emma Bronson, the wife of Byron Bronson, in 1907. Mr. Bronson, a rancher, passed away on Jan. 14, 1913 at the age of 54. His widow lived in the house until 1916, when she sold the property to Florence Bean, the wife of Charles M. Bean, also a Chula Vista rancher. The Beans held the property until 1949. This house is an outstanding example of Queen Anne architecture in Chula Vista and retains integrity of design and materials. \ .J Locational sketch map (draw and labet site and .~"'_._"'" -.i~;:::' 20.
