Historic Preservation Tax Credits
•Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit and the Mills Act program provide financial relief in the form of a credit on property taxes to property owners who are actively rehabilitating, restoring, or otherwise preserving qualified historic properties.
•Aldersly is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profit organization. It is therefore not eligible to apply for or collect a historic preservation tax credit because it does not pay property taxes.
•Non-profit organizations are sometimes able to form partnerships with for-profit organizations that could benefit from the tax credit. This would require restructuring the Aldersly organization or partnering with an existing for-profit organization with interest in claiming the tax credit.
Final Environmental Impact Report
•Mitigation Measures BIO-2 and BIO-3
included in the Final EIR to address the
possibility of bats roosting in trees on the
campus, even though very unlikely.
•Recommended by the California
Department of Fish & Wildlife
Final Environmental Impact Report
•Mitigation Measure CUL-1 requires the
project sponsor to document and provide
interpretation, commemoration, and
salvage of the historic resources prior to
demolition.
•Impact on historic resource would remain
significant and unavoidable with MM CUL-1
EIR Project Alternatives
Feasibility of Alternative 3:
•Would require demolition of recently renovated
Rosenborg building
•Would require relocation of memory care and
assisted living residents
•May not be financially feasible
•Addressed in CEQA findings (Exhibit 1)
