PUBLIC COMMENTS (5 minute time limit per person) There were none. PUBLIC HEARING No Items NEW BUSINESS 1.Resolution No. 2173 – A review of Mills Act Application No. MILLS 25-01 for a 10-year Mills Act Contract between the City and the Property Owner of the Historic “Brod-Papp House” at 1203 Oakwood Drive, and forwarding a recommendation to City Council CEQA: Not a Project Recommendation: Adopt Applicant: Chris Karlan MOTION - PUBLIC HEARING Chair Wilander introduced the item and then turned it over to Deputy Development Services Director Lisa Flores, who explained the structure of the meeting, noting that the item required a recommendation to City Council. Senior Planner Edwin Arreola presented the staff report. Commissioner Arvizu asked for more information about the “restricted value” mentioned in the staff report. Mr. Arreola explained that the restricted value is calculated by subtracting the property's annual operating costs from its fair market rental value. Commissioner Arvizu asked if the property must be rented in order to qualify for the restricted value. 6 2 7/22/2025 Mr. Arreola said it does not. Vice Chair Tallerico asked whether the restricted value yields the lowest tax benefit to the property owner and if Proposition 13 is considered in its consideration. Ms. Flores explained that properties under Proposition 13 are unlikely to benefit from a Mills Act contract because their assessed values are already very low. Mr. Arreola responded that it will be lowest. Commissioner Hui asked if the fair rent value will be calculated before or after renovations. Mr. Arreola stated that it will be for that year. He added that there will be anniversary date for the renewal of the contract, and the property will be re-assessed every year around that time. Commissioner Hui asked if the Architectural Review Board (ARB) will need to approve their exterior renovations. Mr. Arreola explained that all exterior modifications, including projects like re-roofing and window repairs, must be approved by the ARB according to the historic design standards. Commissioner Tsoi asked if the list of repairs is tentative or if it will be contractual and they must be completed. Mr. Arreola stated that the projects should be completed as proposed but if they do not, the contract can be terminated. Commissioner Tsoi asked whether the City would conduct inspections or check-ins with the property owner to ensure the projects are being completed. Mr. Arreola responded that this oversight will be carried out throughout the permitting process. Chair Wilander inquired whether additional repairs or projects could be beyond those that were proposed. Mr. Arreola stated that the projects proposed are the only ones they are agreeing to complete under the contract. Any additional renovations would fall outside the scope of the agreement and would not qualify for tax exemption. Assistant City Attorney Kellan Martz reiterated that the contract will take into effect on the date of approval, and any deviation from its terms may result in enforcement action or termination of the agreement. Vice Chair Tallerico asked what happens to the tax benefits when a contract is terminated. Mr. Martz said it would be up to the Assessor’s Office to determine what happens to the tax benefits taken before a contract is terminated. Commissioner Arvizu asked when does the contract goes into effect. 7 3 7/22/2025 Mr. Martz stated that the Assessor’s Office has until the end of the year after City Council approval to assess the property. Commissioner Arvizu asked whether renovations completed prior to the executive of the contract could be counted toward the tax exemption benefits. Mr. Martz confirmed that any work that was completed prior to the approval of this contract do not qualify for the tax exemption benefits. The item was opened for public comments. There were no speakers present. Chair Wilander closed the public hearing. DISCUSSION There was no discussion. MOTION It was moved by Commissioner Tsoi, seconded by Commissioner Hui to adopt Resolution No. 2173 recommending approval to the City Council of Mills Act Application No. MILLS 25-01 for a 10-year Mills Act Contract between the City and the Property Owner of the Historic “Brod-Papp House” at 1203 Oakwood Drive in which the findings were made.
