Community Development Director Kempenaar introduced the item and stated the Planning Commission reviewed the item last month and recommends the City Council approve the tentative parcel map, adopt an ordinance approving a development agreement and determine the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan (STSP) Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is the appropriate environmental review. The applicant wants to subdivide their parcel into three lots: one for a future hotel, one for the existing bank, and one for retail and restaurant pad. He summarized the development agreement which is intended to provide certainty about what is delivered in the future, ensuring the hotel meets the Council’s expectations and improvement requirements and gives the Developer longer lead time and certainty that the development can occur. From a CEQA perspective, the project is consistent with the Sunrise Tomorrow EIR and general parameters of the Minor Land Division. The project also has an important Strategic Impact in diversifying the city’s economy, generating Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), filling a gap in lodging availability, and kicking off the first project in the STSP.

Community Development Director Kempenaar responded to questions.
Mayor Daniels opened the public hearing.
Public Comment
City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Rick Hodgkins, “I don’t know whether to support option a, B or C. I do have one question though. Is the hotel going to go at the south end? Right behind red Robin, that we also have a small strip mall, that where I think we could put housing or possibly the hotel. No matter what happens, that where are people going to hang out when it’s cold and wet outside and it’s raining? We must remodel and renovate the mall so that current and future store is come in accessible from the inside and outside. It’s great to have a place to walk around on the outside, but that we also need the inside for characters like the Easter bunny and Santa Claus to hang out like in the center cord. Also, let’s get that fountain up and running again. Thank you.” Mayor Daniels closed the public hearing.

If there is any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Applicable Law, or between this Agreement and any other Project Approvals, to the fullest extent legally possible, this Agreement shall prevail and control.
Section 2.02. Development Standards. The permitted uses of the Subject Property, the density and intensity of uses, the maximum height, bulk, and size of the proposed buildings, provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes and the location of public improvements, the general location of public utilities, and other terms and conditions of development applicable to the Project shall be as set forth in the Applicable Law, in particular as described in the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan, Zoning Code, and the Project Approvals (collectively, “Development Standards”).
Section 2.03. Applicable Law. “Applicable Law” shall mean all applicable federal, state, County, and City laws, statutes, ordinances, governmental rules, regulations, official policies, entitlements, orders, permits, licenses, approvals and authorizations that govern permitted uses of land; the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications; and that are otherwise applicable to the condition, development, use, occupancy, or operation of the Project on the Subject Property that exist and are in place as of the Effective Date, as supplemented and modified by the Project Approvals once they are granted and become effective, and Later Enactments (as that term is defined below), all except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
Section 2.04. Development Impact Fees/Exactions. During the Term of this Agreement, Developer shall pay all Impact Fees for the Project at the rate in effect at the time the payment is made. The City retains discretion to revise such fees as the City deems appropriate, in accordance with applicable law. If the City revises such fees on a city-wide basis (as opposed to revising such fees on an ad hoc basis that applies solely to the Project) prior to the earlier of the issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy or a temporary Certificate of Occupancy that allows for residential occupancy , then the Developer shall thereafter pay the revised fee. The Developer may, at its sole discretion, participate in any hearings or proceedings regarding the adjustment of such fees. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver by the Developer of its right to challenge such changes in fees in accordance with applicable law provided that the Developer hereby waives its right to challenge the increased fees solely on the basis of any vested rights that are granted under this Agreement.
Developer shall pay all Processing Fees in connection with development of the Subject Property with the Project that are then in effect when Developer processes applications for Subsequent Approval(s). “Processing Fees” shall mean all lawfully adopted fees for processing development project applications imposed by City on a citywide basis, including any required supplemental or other further environmental review, plan checking (time and materials) and inspection, in connection with the processing and consideration of any Project Approvals, which are intended to cover the actual costs of processing and consideration of the foregoing.
Section 2.05. No Conflicting Enactments. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.05, City, or the City electorate through the adoption of referenda and initiatives, may enact new or modified rules, regulations, or official policies after the Effective Date (each a “Later Enactment” and, collectively, “Later Enactments”). All Later Enactments shall be applicable to the Project if and only to the extent that application of any Later Enactment does not modify the Project; does not prevent or impede development of the Project; and does not ITEM 7 Agenda Packet Page 25
conflict with this Agreement. Any Later Enactment shall be deemed to conflict with this Agreement if the enactment seeks to accomplish any one or more of the following results, either with specific reference to the Project or the development of the Subject Property, or as part of a general enactment that would otherwise apply to the Subject Property:
(a) Reduce the density or intensity of the Project under the Applicable Law; (b) Change any land use designation or permitted use of the Subject Property for the Project as described in the Applicable Law;
(c) Require, for any work necessary to develop the Project on the Subject Property, the issuance of permits, approvals, or entitlements by City other than those required by Applicable Law; or
(d) Materially limit the processing of, the procuring of applications for, or approval of the Subsequent Approval(s).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, City shall not be precluded from applying a Later
Enactment to the Project where the Later Enactment is: (a) specifically mandated by changes in state or federal laws or regulations adopted after the Effective Date, as provided in Government Code section 65869.5 and Section 2.06 below; (b) specifically mandated by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) required by changes to the California Building Standards Codes (including the California Fire Code), and similar life safety regulations that may change from time to time, including all local amendments adopted by City or the Fire Department on a citywide basis. Except as expressly provided herein, particularly with respect to Developer’s rights granted hereunder, this Agreement does not restrict City’s exercise of its police powers, and City reserves those powers to itself.
Section 2.06. Conflict of State or Federal Laws. In the event that state and/or federal law(s) and/or regulation(s) enacted after the Effective Date prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, the Party identifying the conflict shall provide the other Party, as soon as practicable after the conflict becomes known to the notifying Party, written notice of the conflict, a copy of the law(s) and/or regulation(s) that give rise to the conflict, and a statement explaining the nature of the conflict. Within thirty (30) days after that notice is given, the Parties shall meet and confer in good faith in a reasonable attempt to modify this Agreement so as to comply with the state and/or federal law(s) and/or regulation(s) giving rise to the conflict, pursuant to Government Code section 65869.5. If Developer does not consent to an amendment that is required to make this Agreement consistent with state and/or federal law(s) and/or regulation(s) in accordance with Government Code section 65869.5, City shall provide Developer written notice of the immediate suspension of this Agreement, and the Agreement shall remain suspended until the date the Agreement is so amended. The Term shall not be tolled or extended for any period of suspension under this Section 2.06.
Section 2.07. Life of Approvals. The term of each current Discretionary Entitlement, as well as each Subsequent Approval (e.g., for a Tentative Map) once it is granted and becomes effective, shall be deemed extended for the longer of the Term of this Agreement or the term otherwise applicable to such Current Discretionary Entitlement(s) or Subsequent Approval(s).
Section 2.08. Timing of Construction and Completion. The Parties acknowledge that Developer cannot, at this time, predict when, if or at what rate the Project will be ITEM 7 Agenda Packet Page 26
constructed. The Parties agree there is no requirement herein that Developer commence or complete construction of the Project at all or within any particular period of time during the Term.
Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the City’s Municipal Code, City has ordained by adopting the DA Ordinance that Developer may, in its sole discretion, commence construction at any time (or at no time) during the Term of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that construction may be delayed by litigation, by other public agencies’ approval process in connection with Subsequent Approvals, market factors, or other reasons, which may or may not be within Developer’s control. In light of the foregoing, the Parties agree that Developer may construct the Project (if at all) at the rate and time Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its sole subjective business judgment, subject only to the provisions of this Agreement and other Project Approvals, as and when they are granted and become effective.
Section 2.09. Processing Subsequent Approvals. The Subsequent Approvals shall be deemed mechanisms to implement those final policy decisions reflected by this Agreement, the other Project Approvals, and other provisions of Applicable Law including CEQA Compliance and compliance with the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan and Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan EIR. Upon submission by Developer to City of an application for a Subsequent Approval, City shall cooperate and diligently and expeditiously work to promptly process and consider approving that application. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Developer’s vested rights hereunder, City shall retain its discretionary authority in its consideration of any and all Subsequent Approvals that involve discretion in the decisionmaking process. City shall consider an application for a Subsequent Approval with reference to the Applicable Law, Later Enactments, and this Agreement. City shall ensure that adequate staff is available to expeditiously process all applications for Subsequent Approval(s).
Section 2.10. Actions by Other Public Agencies Necessary to Implement the Approvals.
In Developer’s sole discretion, but consistent with the Discretionary Entitlements, Developer may apply for Subsequent Approvals from other non-City public agencies, including, without limitation, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”), United States Army Corps of Engineers (“ACOE”), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (“CDFW”), Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”), Airport Land Use Commission (“ALUC”), and the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) as may be necessary or desirable to implement the Project.
Section 2.11. No Limitation on Future Discretionary Actions. Except to the extent this Agreement expressly provides otherwise, particularly with respect to the vested rights granted hereunder, nothing in this Agreement requires City, its legislative body, or any of its boards or commissions, to adopt any future ordinances or resolutions, to enter into any other agreements with Developer, or to exercise its discretion in any particular manner in the future.

ARTICLE III DEVELOPER OBLIGATIONS FOR COMMUNITY BENEFITS.
Section 3.01. Dedication of Land to Facilitate Planned Transportation and associated infrastructure Improvements. Prior to or concurrently with the recordation of the Final Parcel Map, Developer shall: (a) offer to dedicate to City approximately 17,184 square feet of land, which is a portion of the Property (“Irrevocable Offer of Dedication” or “IOD”) as conceptually depicted on the Sunrise Tomorrow Right-of-Way and IOD Requirements (Exhibit B). The payment of just compensation related to the aforesaid IOD may be arranged in one or another of several ways by agreement between the Developer and the City. For example, the employment of an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District or Community Facilities District as referenced below might grant Developer a credit against assessments which it might otherwise be required to pay sufficient to justly compensate Developer for its dedication offer described herein.
The IOD shall be depicted on the Final Recorded Parcel Map. Payment of Just Compensation for the IOD shall be based on the fair market value of the IOD as determined by an appraisal prepared by a mutually agreed upon professional appraiser. The appraisal shall be performed as of the time the IOD is to be accepted by the City. The costs of the appraisal shall be shared equally between the City and the Developer.
Just compensation shall be paid to the developer prior to or simultaneously with City acceptance of the IOD. Prior to or simultaneously with the recordation of the final parcel map, an agreement between the City and the Developer shall be recorded identifying the process for compensation that shall take place upon acceptance of the IOD, which shall be based on the terms described above.
ITEM 7 Agenda Packet Page 28
Section 3.02. Obligation to participate in future Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District, Community Facilities District or similar infrastructure financing mechanism.
Significant infrastructure is necessary to support the development of the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan. Prior to recordation of the final map, the Developer shall record a covenant on the title to the project site committing the developer to participation in any future infrastructure financing mechanism to support the development of necessary infrastructure; provided, however, such financing mechanism must acknowledge the in-kind contribution of land by Developer pursuant to the IOD as a credit against assessment otherwise due or it must make arrangements for a cost reimbursement of just compensation to be paid to Developer for its IOD from the City or some alternative source. Moreover, the particular financing mechanism must make equitable allowances for the allocation of the costs of future infrastructure based on the benefit conferred on each particular parcel and the burden on infrastructure attributable to the particular development associated with each particular parcel. In the event that infrastructure improvements contemplated by the financing mechanism are not reasonably required by the particular parcel and/or its burden on infrastructure improvements is mitigated by means other than participation in the particular financing mechanism, then participation shall not be required notwithstanding this section of this Agreement. Developer shall include in the covenant a commitment to detach from the Citrus Heights Lighting District (CHLD) and create/join a new lighting district zone within the CHLD. Said zone shall provide a current funding source for the ongoing maintenance of street lights with direct benefit on parcel(s) of the subject development and continued funding of city-wide safety lighting. Wording of the covenant is subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney.
Section 3.03. Pro-rata share of Sunrise and Greenback Intersection Improvements. Prior to occupancy of any future building on the site, the developer shall pay its pro-rata share of the Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane intersection improvements as identified in Section 8.4.3 of Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan (and further refined in Exhibit D) and to the extent it can be reasonably demonstrated that its “pro-rata share” represents a fair charge based on traffic generation from its property/project and a recognized benefit is conferred in terms of the mitigation of traffic congestion as further described in Exhibit D.
Section 3.04. High Quality Hotel Development. Within 1 year of execution, of this Agreement or if extended in writing by mutual agreement of the parties, the Developer shall submit an application for a High Quality Hotel development on the resulting parcel (Parcel C).
The Hotel shall be designed in accordance with the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan providing for a minimum of 110 rooms (keys). The construction and continued maintenance of the Hotel as a Three-Star Hotel, as defined by the Forbes Travel Guide, or of a Three-Diamond hotel, as defined by the AAA Diamond Ratings, or if those rating services are not in use, at an equivalent level used by an alternative nationally recognized hotel rating service.
A Design Review Permit will be required for the High Quality Hotel Development. If the initial Hotel Brand is selected from the list of Pre-approved Hotel Brands as depicted in Exhibit F the Planning Commission will be the reviewing body for the Design Review Permit. If the initial Hotel Brand identified as part of the Design Review Permit is not listed in Exhibit F, the Planning Commission will review and make a recommendation for the City Council’s consideration. The City Council may deny the Design Review Permit if the Council finds the proposed brand is not equivalent to or greater quality than the Brands depicted in Exhibit F at its sole discretion.
ITEM 7 Agenda Packet Page 29
Section 3.05 Use of the Hotel Project. The Developer, and its successors and assigns, shall ensure that the Hotel will be operated, furnished, serviced, maintained and refurbished to at least the standard of quality of a Three Star Hotel during the Term of the Hotel Operating Covenant.

The Developer hereby agrees that prior to and subsequent to the completion of construction of the Hotel, the Hotel Site shall be maintained in a neat and orderly condition to the extent practicable and in accordance with applicable industry health and safety standards, and that the Hotel shall be well maintained as a Three-Star Hotel (as defined by the Forbes Travel Guide, or of a Three-Diamond hotel, as defined by the AAA Diamond Ratings, or if those rating services are not in use, at an equivalent level used by an alternative nationally recognized hotel rating service) to both external and internal appearance of the buildings, the common areas, and the parking areas. The Developer shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Hotel in good repair and working order, including the walkways, driveways, parking areas and landscaping, and from time to time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, and replacements. If the Developer fails to implement and continuously maintain the standard described above/then the City shall notify the Developer in writing of such condition, giving the Developer thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to commence and thereafter diligently to proceed to cure said condition. In the event the Developer fails to cure or commence to cure the condition within thirty (30) days and such other additional time as may be required by Developer to cure the condition, the City shall notify the Developer in writing and thereafter the City shall have the right to perform all acts necessary to cure such a condition, or to take other recourse at law or equity that the City may then have. The Developer shall reimburse the City's reasonable costs, plus ten percent (10%) interest from the date of expenditure, in taking such action. The Parties hereto further mutually understand and agree that the rights conferred upon the City expressly include the right to enforce or establish a lien or other encumbrance against any of the parcels comprising the Hotel Site not complying with this Agreement. The provisions of Sections 3.04 and 3.05 shall be assumed by all successors to Developer and shall be in effect until expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Section 3.07 Hotel Operating Agreement. The initial Hotel Brand shall be selected from the list of Pre-approved Hotel Brands as depicted in Exhibit F. No later than twelve (12) months after the Effective Date or if extended in writing by mutual agreement of the parties, the Developer shall submit the Hotel Operating Agreement executed by the Developer and/or its Affiliate and the Hotel Brand and shall obtain the approval of the City for the Hotel Brand, if required, and the Hotel Operating Agreement pursuant to the criteria specified in this Section

The City's review of the Hotel Operating Agreement shall be limited for the sole purposes of determining that: (i) the Hotel shall be maintained in compliance with this Agreement; (ii) the term of the Hotel Operating Agreement is at least ten (10) years following the Completion Date for the Hotel, except as otherwise provided in the Hotel Operating Agreement, which may include termination events customarily included in hotel operating agreements for hotels similar in rating, size and location as the Hotel; and (iii) the Hotel Brand shall not have the right to transfer its interest in the Hotel Operating Agreement except for transfers customarily permitted in hotel operating agreements for hotels similar in rating, size and location as the Hotel. Any termination or transfer of the Hotel Operating Agreement prior to at least ten (10) years after the Completion Date shall require written notice thereof to the City, and if required, the City's approval of the subsequent Hotel Brand in accordance with Section 3.09. The City shall respond to such request for approval or subsequent approval of the Hotel Brand and the transfer of the ITEM 7 Agenda Packet Page 30
Hotel Operating Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt of such request. The City's approval of such request shall be deemed given if the City fails to respond within such thirty (30) day period.
Section 3.08 Hotel Operating Covenant. Developer shall enter into a hotel operating covenant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E which shall be recorded against the Hotel Site and which shall run with the land (the "Hotel Operating Covenant"). The Hotel Operating Covenant shall (i) require that the Hotel Site be used for the Hotel for a term equal to twenty-five (25) years after the Completion Date,
Section 3.09 Change in Hotel Brand. A change in the identity of the Hotel Brand to a Preapproved Hotel Brand, by way of transfer of the Hotel Operating Agreement, the Hotel Site, or otherwise, shall constitute a Permitted Transfer. During the Term of this Agreement, any change in the Hotel Brand (a "Replacement Brand") shall require the prior written approval of the City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, however, the City's approval will not be required if the Replacement Brand is a Pre-approved Hotel Brand or a Three Star Hotel. The City shall respond to such request for approval within thirty (30) days after receipt of the request and supporting documentation. The City's approval of such request shall be deemed given if the City fails to respond within such thirty (30) day period. The list of Pre-approved Hotel Brands attached hereto shall be deemed pre-approved by the City as the initial Hotel Brand and Replacement Brands and shall not require the further approval of the City. The City shall review any subsequent Hotel Operating Agreement in accordance with Section 3.07.
Section 3.10 – Construction of Multi-Use Trail “Green Loop”. The Developer is required to construct the Multi-Use Trail “Green Loop” as identified in the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan on the subject property (Parcels A, B, and C). Due to construction phasing of both on-site and off-site improvements, construction of the Green Loop may be deferred to such time as determined by the City Engineer. Prior to Issuance of a Grading or Building Permit for Parcel A, B, or C (whichever comes first), the Developer shall provide security as set forth in Govt. Code 66499 of the Subdivision Map Act and in a form approved by the City Attorney, ensuring the proposed Green Loop improvements are installed at the appropriate time.
ARTICLE IV AMENDMENTS.
Section 4.01. Amendment of this Agreement.
(a) Substantive changes to this Agreement or the other Project Approvals shall necessitate an amendment to this Agreement to incorporate the applicable changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the other Project Approvals at issue and related documents and agreements. A “substantive change” to this Agreement is one that changes the Term of this Agreement or for which an application is made to modify any of the following: the permitted uses; density or intensity of use; height or size of buildings; provisions for reservation and dedication of land; conditions, terms, restrictions and requirements relating to Subsequent Approvals that are discretionary in nature; monetary contributions by Developer; or any other material term or condition of this Agreement. If either Party notifies the other Party that an amendment is needed or desirable due to the proposed substantive changes to this Agreement or the other Project Approvals, the Parties shall meet and confer in good faith the terms of an amendment to this Agreement. The scope of good faith negotiation shall be limited to such good faith amendment(s) necessary to effectuate the substantive changes to this Agreement or the other Project Approval(s) contemplated in this ITEM 7 Agenda Packet Page 31

City may temporarily suspend consideration of a Subsequent Approval that is discretionary in nature if reasonably required by the circumstances then existing at the time of the proposed change in this Agreement or the other Project Approval(s) until the Parties can come to an agreement on the terms of such an amendment or mutually agree to the termination of this Agreement. Amendments for substantive changes shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Development Agreement Statute. (b) This Agreement need not be amended to allow for changes to this Agreement or the other Project Approvals that are not substantive, as described in Section
4.01(a) above, but rather minor in nature. The Parties acknowledge that refinement and further implementation of the Project Approvals may demonstrate that certain minor changes may be appropriate with respect to the Project details and performance of the Parties under this Agreement, and the Parties desire to retain a certain degree of flexibility with respect to such details and performances. If and when the Parties find and mutually agree that clarifications, minor changes, or minor adjustments are necessary or appropriate, they shall effectuate such clarifications, changes or adjustments through an operating written memorandum approved by the Parties, with the City Manager acting on behalf of City. After execution, the operating memorandum shall be attached to this Agreement. Further minor changes as necessary from time to time may be agreed upon by the Parties by written approval of the Parties. Unless required by the Development Agreement Statute, no operating memorandum shall require prior notice or public hearing, nor shall it constitute an amendment to or termination for convenience in whole or in part of this Agreement.
Section 4.02. Amendments of Project Approvals or Subsequent Approvals. No Subsequent Approval that is granted pursuant to this Agreement, or the amendment of any other Project Approvals (other than this Agreement) that is consented to by Developer, shall require an amendment to this Agreement, and the Subsequent Approval or amendment of any other said Project Approvals shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement as of the date the approval or amendment is effective.
ARTICLE V DEFAULTS; PERIODIC REVIEW.

dispute. Within thirty (30) days after the Dispute Notice is given (or such other time frame as may be mutually agreed to by the Parties), the Parties shall meet in person and confer in good faith in an attempt to resolve the dispute. If, following this meet and confer process, the nondefaulting Party determines that the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the non-defaulting Party may institute legal action to cure, correct, or remedy the default, enforce any covenant or agreement herein, enforce by specific performance the obligations and rights of the Parties hereto, or obtain any other remedy consistent with this Agreement and available under law or equity.

Exhibit D – Prorata share
The Developer may be required to contribute the Pro-rata share of the off-site transportation improvements (intersection of Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane) identified in the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan, Environmental Impact Report and Local Transportation Analysis. The complete analysis as to the benefit conferred upon Developer’s project by the aforesaid improvements and/or the burden on traffic and circulation at the subject intersection caused by the Developer’s project and thus requiring the improvements has yet to be fully investigated.
The Developer’s duty to contribute and the amount of contribution shall be matters of further investigation. The following are preliminary projections of cost based on initial assumptions and may be subject to reconsideration and recalculation as part of subsequent development applications on the parcel in question.
The Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan is anticipated to be phased over several years; therefore, full implementation of the off-site improvement is not necessitated by the initial development phases of the proposed project. As a result, the off-site improvements have been designed in two individual phases –Phase 1 and Phase 2 as illustrated in Exhibit G The proposed development of the Antioch Street LP anticipated in the Development Agreement (110 key hotel and 12,000 SF High Quality Restaurant) and any subsequent development on resulting Parcel A will be required to contribute to both phases of the off-site development as follows:
Phase1 of Off-site Improvements:
- Prior to issuance of a Building or Grading Permit for the proposed hotel and/or proposed high quality restaurant the Developer shall contribute the Pro-rata share of Phase 1. The pro-rata share is based on the PM Peak Vehicle Trips within the Sunrise Boulevard/Greenback Lane intersection associated with the anticipated development.
Currently, the engineers estimate anticipates a total improvement cost of $1.85 Million (2023 Dollars) and traffic analysis calculates pro-rata share as follows:
o 110 Key Hotel (Proposed Parcel C)– 4.6% of Trips = $85,131 o 12,000 square foot High Quality Restaurant (Proposed Parcel B) – 2.8% = $51,819
The pro-rata calculations provided herein are based on 2023 dollars and current specifications for the proposed project. Prior to the developer’s contribution the City Engineer shall update the pro-rata share based on project details (number of rooms, square footage, etc. and associated PM Peak Traffic contribution to the Sunrise/Greenback Intersection) and as adjusted for inflation annually on January 1, based upon the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index, all items, San Francisco Area as of October of the previous year, with adjustments, as recommended by the City Engineer, rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
ITEM 7 Agenda Packet Page 43
Phase 2 of Off-site Improvements
- Prior to issuance of a Building or Grading Permit resulting in an increase of PM Peak Trips associated with Parcel A, the Developer shall contribute the Pro-rata share of the Phase 2 of the Off-Site Improvements . The pro-rata share is based on the PM Peak Vehicle Trips within the Sunrise Boulevard/Greenback Lane intersection associated with the anticipated development. Currently, the engineers estimate for Phase 2 anticipates a total improvement cost of $1.71 Million (2023 Dollars). Due to unknown project characteristics associated with Parcel A, the pro-rata share is unknown at this time. Prior to the developer’s contribution the City Engineer shall calculate the pro-rata share based on project details (number of rooms, square footage, etc. and associated PM Peak Traffic contribution to the Sunrise/Greenback Intersection) and as adjusted for inflation annually on January 1, based upon the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index, all items, San Francisco Area as of October of the previous year, with adjustments, as recommended by the City Engineer, rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

Subject: California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program Funding Acceptance Date: July 10, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) administers several grant programs to reduce and mitigate the impacts of impaired driving on the roadways. One of these programs is the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP). CTFGP funds are provided from the passage of Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) which mandates funding for CHP to award grants to local governments and qualified nonprofit organizations for education, prevention and enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis; programs that help enforce traffic laws, educate the public in traffic safety, provide varied and effective means of reducing fatalities, injuries and economic losses from collisions; and for the purchase of equipment related to enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis.
The City of Citrus Heights has had many issues with driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol and driving under the influence of drugs (DUID), specifically DUI collision and deaths related to DUI collisions. In 2022, CHPD investigated 452 individuals for DUI related crimes/arrests, and in 2023, CHPD investigated 432 individuals for DUI related crimes/arrests.
In 2023, CHPD had one DUI related fatal collision. DUI related collisions are third on the list of primary collision factors under unsafe speed and turning movements in 2022 and 2023.The Police Department will utilize the funding with the goal of reducing instances of DUI/DUID and to educate motorists on the dangers of impaired driving. Grant monies will be used for DUI/DUID saturations patrols, the purchases of a DUI/DUID specific vehicle, training, and the purchase of equipment and education materials.
This grant will support continued efforts of educating the public, promoting a safe environment within the community, and reduce the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving alcohol and drugs.

Summary and Recommendation
On March 26, 2020, the City Council authorized an Agreement for Professional Services (Agreement) with Bennett Engineering Services, Inc. (Bennett) to provide final design engineering and right-of-way acquisition services for the Project. On October 14, 2021, January 26, 2023 and May 9, 2024, the City Council authorized amendments to the Agreement for additional professional services associated with the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets, Phase 2 project.
Currently, the developer of the parcels at 8516-8550 Auburn Boulevard is finalizing design of a new 2,241 square foot Starbucks café and modifications to the existing multi-tenant building.
The proposed development requires utility work within the same limits of the City’s Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Phase 2 Project. Development related utility elements within the public right-of-way include construction of a water line extension and private storm drain connections.
In order to expedite design, minimize duplicative effort, and to reduce the number of contractors working within the same construction zone, it is recommended to issue a contract amendment with the City’s design team for the development related utility improvements located within the public right of way. Staff negotiated a scope and fee of $47,320.10 for Contract Amendment No.
4. The developer has reviewed the proposal and provided a deposit to cover all costs associated with Amendment No. 4.

4 City of Citrus Heights Citizen Participation Plan
Adopted: May 2020
I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Citrus Heights receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for housing and community development activities that primarily assist low- and moderate-income persons. In accordance with HUD regulations (24 CFR 91.105), the city is required to adopt and adhere to a detailed Citizen Participation Plan that sets forth policies and procedures for citizen participation in development of the Consolidated Plan, which sets 5-year goals for CDBG investments, and the Annual Action Plan and Consolidated Annual Evaluation and Performance Report (CAPER), which specify program funding and outcomes. The Consolidated Plan is a five-year planning document that identifies the needs of low- and moderate-income persons and areas of the city and sets forth a to address those needs. The Annual Action Plan identifies the specific needs to be addressed each year based on the priorities established in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan strategy.
The city will take whatever actions are appropriate to encourage the participation of all citizens, including people of color, persons with limited English-speaking proficiency, persons with disabilities and residents of public and assisted housing.
Since the amount of CDBG funding the city receives each year from HUD is in part based upon the level of both poverty and substandard housing conditions in Citrus Heights, it is necessary to encourage the participation by low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in areas that could be designated as “slum and blight” and in areas where CDBG funds are proposed to be used.
This Citizen Participation Plan follows the city’s Title VI Policy Statement:
The City of Citrus Heights is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise subjected to discrimination under any of its programs, activities, or services on the basis of race, color, or national origin. All persons, regardless of their citizenship, are covered under this regulation. In addition, the City of Citrus Heights prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin in its employment and business opportunities. The City of Citrus Heights will not condone retaliation against an individual for his/her involvement in asserting his/her rights pursuant to Title VI or because he/she filed a Complaint or participated in an investigation under Title VI, and/or this regulation.
A. The Consolidated Plan Process
The primary purpose of the CDBG program is to improve communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and/or expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. CDBG is a flexible program that provides communities with resources to address a wide-range of community needs. The city is responsible for developing its own priorities and programs within HUD guidelines through the consolidated plan process. To develop and implement an effective program, the city will engage residents—especially those ITEM 11 Agenda Packet Page 69

Adopted: May 2020
residing in low- to moderate-income areas and assisted housing, local and regional agencies, the Continuum of Care (Sacramento Steps Forward), businesses, developers, nonprofits institutions, philanthropic organizations and community-based and faith-based organizations at each stage of the process, including:
• Identification of housing and community development needs. • Development of Five-Year Consolidated Plan that establishes the city’s needs, program goals and funding priorities.
• Preparation of an Annual Action Plan that outlines the proposed use of each year’s funding allocation.
• Preparation of a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) that provides an account of expenditures and program accomplishments. • Development of an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH).1
• Consideration of substantial amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, CAPER, and AFH.
• Providing public comment and hearings for proposed plans.
II. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
A. Citizen Participation Plan
The Citizen Participation Plan is designed to facilitate and encourage public participation in the Consolidated Plan process, including the development of the AFH. The purpose of the Citizen Participation Plan is to encourage the involvement of low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those persons living in an area where CDBG funds are proposed to be used and predominantly low- or moderate-income neighborhoods.
In addition, HUD encourages, in conjunction with consultation with public housing agencies (PHAs), the participation of residents of public and assisted housing developments (including any resident advisory boards, resident councils and resident management corporations) in the process of developing and implementing the Assessment of Fair Housing and the Consolidated Plan, along with other low-income residents of targeted revitalization areas in which the developments are located. To this end, the city will make an effort to coordinate with and provide information to the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) about the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan activities related to its developments and surrounding communities so SHRA can make this information available at the annual public hearing(s) required for the PHA Plan2

9 City of Citrus Heights Citizen Participation Plan
Adopted: May 2020
programs in accordance to the intent of the funds identified in the previously undertaken citizen participation process. In addition, an existing activity or program can be cancelled administratively if no funds were expended, and said funds can then be allocated to an existing Annual Action Plan activity, program, or applicable contingency fund to be allocated to one or more future activities or programs at a future date. A Minor Amendment does not require additional citizen participation. • A “Substantial Amendment” involves one or more of the following actions:
o Funding of an activity or program not previously described in the Annual Action Plan.
o Changing the purpose, scope, location or beneficiaries of an activity. o Modifying the priorities described in the Consolidated Plan. o Increasing or reducing the amount allocated to an activity by more than 25 percent, with the exception of activities that are cancelled with expenditure of funds.
o Making a change to the previously adopted AFH as a result of a material change in circumstances affecting the information on which the AFH was based to the extent the analysis, the fair housing contributing factors, or the priorities and goals of the AFH no long reflect actual circumstances (for instance, a significant change that impacts the city’s ability to carry out the AFH, such as new significant contributing factors, civil rights findings, a substantial change in demographics used, a Presidentially-declared disaster, etc.); or resulting from a written notification provided by HUD identifying a material change that HUD believes warrants revisions to the AFH.
There must be reasonable notice of a proposed Substantial Amendment so residents will have an opportunity to review the document and provide comments. The city will use the following procedures for the adoption of any Substantial Amendments to Consolidated Plan document(s):
• A 30-day public review and comment period for the draft Substantial Amendment. • A public notice of the review and comment period will be published in the Sacramento Bee and/or Citrus Heights Messenger or similar newspaper as well as on the city’s website in advance of, or concurrent with, the start of a 30-day public comment period.

TO: Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Regina Cave, General Services Director
Leslie Blomquist, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Landscape Maintenance Assessment District 97-01 (Zones 1, 2, 3 & 4) Levy of Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Assessments
Summary and Recommendation
On June 27, 2024, City Council took the first steps toward the proposed annual update for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 for the Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts (LMAD) 97-01 (Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4). At that time, Council adopted Resolutions of Intention to update the districts and called for a public hearing on July 10, 2024. Subsequently, the City Clerk published the required notice.
The City Council’s intent at that meeting was to maintain the assessments for Zones 1, 3 & 4 at the same level as the prior year and to increase the assessments for Zone 2 by 3% over Fiscal Year 2023/2024.
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Convene the public hearing for the district regarding the proposed annual assessment for Fiscal Year 2024/2025; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-____: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, to confirm the diagram and assessment and to levy Fiscal Year 2024/2025 assessments for Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 97-01 (Zones 1, 2, 3 & 4).
Fiscal Impact
Assessment District 97-01, Zones 1 (Table No.1) and 2 (Table No. 2) are currently fully funded by their annual assessments as well as use of fund reserves as necessary; therefore, there is no fiscal impact to the General Fund for these zones.

Historically, Zone 3 has had adequate funding to cover the annual expenditures. However, beginning in FY 15/16, Zone 3 began operating under a shortfall with insufficient revenues and cash reserves to offset these costs. For FY 23/24, Zone 3 had a projected shortfall of $17,772.32.
Staff’s recommendation is to utilize Gas Tax revenues (Fund 205) to cover this shortfall. For FY 24/25, the fund shortfall is expected to be approximately $9,966.60.

The funding for Zone 4 does not adequately cover the maintenance costs. Historically, this Zone has had a shortfall, and the City has implemented cost-saving measures to try and reduce the shortfall to the greatest extent possible. In past years, contributions from the City’s Gas Tax and General Fund revenues were used to balance Zone 4. For FY 23/24, Zone 4 had an estimated shortfall of $20,851.19. Staff’s recommendation is to utilize Gas Tax revenues (Fund 205) to cover this shortfall. For FY 24/25, the fund shortfall is expected to be $16,094.50.

Since the City first took over the LMAD 97-01 from Sacramento County in 1997, the revenues have not been adequate to cover the costs in each of the zones. Over the years, many efforts have been made to reduce costs and in some cases the City has been required to increase assessment.
However, continually increasing utility rates and monthly maintenance costs as well as updated methods for allocation of the City’s overhead costs have all contributed to the increasing shortfall, most notably in Zones 3 and 4. More recently, staff is using fund reserves in Zones 1 and 2 to balance the annual budgets. The underlying problem is that the assessment revenues ITEM 12 Agenda Packet Page 85
Subject: Landscape Maintenance Assessment District 97-01 – Levy of Assessments for Fiscal Year 24/25 Date: July 10, 2024
(outlined in Fiscal Impact, above) have remained largely unchanged since 1996 when Proposition 218, which requires a vote of those assessed to approve an increase, was passed by the California voters.
In 2000, the property owners in Zone 2 approved an immediate assessment increase and the addition of a cost of living increase provision to the zone. Annual expenditures in this zone have now exceeded the additional annual revenues, and the cost of living provision will need to be implemented to ensure sufficient funding in the future.
In 2005, the property owners in Zone 3 approved a one-time assessment increase, but annual expenditures in this zone have now exceeded the additional annual revenues. Zone 4 has voted against increasing their assessments three times since 2005.
Background and Analysis
The City currently has four landscape maintenance districts and several zones within some of the districts.

This agenda item addresses LMAD 97-01; LMAD’s 98-01, 98-02 and 03-01 are addressed under a separate agenda item. The annual update and the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 for the LMAD 97-01 (Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4), proposed by the resolution will fund the following: maintenance and servicing of landscaping, trees, and other vegetation, and related or appurtenant facilities, including weeding, fertilizing, pruning, and controlling fungus, disease and insect infestation; operation of irrigation and drainage systems, including the provision of water and power, and maintenance of sound walls. Specific maintenance responsibilities for each zone in the district are discussed in the Engineer’s Report. The revenues including reserves for Zone 1 are presently adequate to cover its annual expenses and the Engineer’s Report proposes the assessment rate for this zone remain at the rate levied in Fiscal Year 2023/2024 as this zone does not allow for annual increases.
ITEM 12 Agenda Packet Page 86
Subject: Landscape Maintenance Assessment District 97-01 – Levy of Assessments for Fiscal Year 24/25 Date: July 10, 2024
Maintenance expenditures for Zone 2 are anticipated to exceed annual assessment revenues however there are adequate available reserves to offset its current operating costs. As expenditures for this zone continue to increase, and as permitted by this zone, the Engineer’s Report proposes a 3% cost of living increase in the annual assessment to be levied on each parcel in Zone 2 in Fiscal Year 2023/2024 to maintain current levels of service and sustain the operating reserves.
Since the City took over 97-01 from the County of Sacramento, Zones 3 and 4 have been largely underfunded and as a result, the City has used various funds, including Gas Tax and General Fund revenues, to cover the operating shortfall. To eliminate the funding gap in Zone 3, an assessment increase was approved by the owners of the assessed properties in 2005. The amount increased from $42.50 per parcel to $81.88 per parcel. This assessment increase provided sufficient funds to cover the costs for maintenance and utilities leaving an account balance of a few hundred dollars each year to build reserves until FY 2015/2016. Since FY 2015/2016, irrigation repairs, tree maintenance, the continuing increase in utility rates, and updated methods for allocating the City’s overhead costs have contributed to the depletion of existing reserves and, ultimately a budget shortfall. In recent years, subsidy to Zone 3 has been shifted from General Fund to Gas Tax funds.

Subject: Landscape Maintenance Assessment District 97-01 – Levy of Assessments for Fiscal Year 24/25 Date: July 10, 2024
To balance the Zone 4 budget, the City proposed to increase the annual assessment three times.
In 1998/1999 shortly after incorporation and when zones 3 and 4 were one single zone. The City attempted twice more after the zones were separated, in 2005 and again in 2009, however, the owners of properties within Zone 4 voted against a proposed increase in the annual assessment.
In 2010, in an effort to reduce future subsidies, the City incorporated a xeriscaping (low-water and maintenance) plan to eliminate some of the more labor intensive and water consuming landscape features, such as turf, and reduced the level of service on the remaining landscaping to a minimum. There had been significant reductions in maintenance and utility costs, but the expenditures still exceeded the existing revenues for this zone. This shortfall was subsidized by the City’s General Fund. In an effort to further minimize costs, the City reduced the frequency of maintenance as a pilot project (i.e., every 6 or 8 weeks instead of monthly). However, after numerous complaints from the public of its poor appearance, a higher level of maintenance was reinstated during the FY 2011/2012 year, and Zone 4 continues to see a projected shortfall for FY 2024/2025. In recent years, subsidy to Zone 4 has been shifted from General Funds to Gas Tax funds. The table below outlines estimated annual revenues and expenditures for Zone 4, dating back to Fiscal Year 2005/2006 when Zone 4 was split into two separate zones (Verner Glen, and Creekridge):

Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, assessment districts of this type must be updated annually. A Resolution to Initiate Proceedings is required as the first action of the City Council in order to initiate the update of the LMADs. Subsequent approval of the assessments to ITEM 12 Agenda Packet Page 88
Subject: Landscape Maintenance Assessment District 97-01 – Levy of Assessments for Fiscal Year 24/25 Date: July 10, 2024
be levied and collected will be for the purpose of meeting operating expenses and purchasing supplies, equipment, or materials necessary to maintain landscape facilities for the districts.
On June 27, 2024, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention for LMAD 97-01 (Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4) approving the Engineer’s Report; declaring its intention to order the annual update for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 to levy and collect assessments for the City of Citrus Heights Landscape Maintenance Assessment District; and setting Wednesday, July 10, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. (or shortly thereafter) as the date and time for the public hearing.
The Engineer’s Report summarizes maintenance efforts and proposes the assessment rates for Zones 1, 3 and 4 will not exceed the rate levied in Fiscal Year 2023/2024. The Engineer’s Report does recommend increasing the assessment for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 by 3% for Zone 2. The recommended increase is to help sustain existing reserves in the zone as well as maintain the current level of service.
Pursuant to State Law, the City must hold a public hearing on the matter for each District. Since an increase in assessments beyond the allowable annual increase per zone is not proposed and thus not triggering Prop 218, the code only requires the notice to be published in a newspaper and no ballot procedure or special notice will be necessary.
The assessment district diagrams and assessment rolls are contained in the Engineer’s Reports.

2 ENGINEER’S REPORT
LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
NO. 97-01, Zones 1, 2, 3, & 4
LEVY of FISCAL YEAR 2024/2025 ASSESSMENTS
INTRODUCTION
The City of Citrus Heights has four (4) separate Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts (LMADs), which provide for maintenance of common areas within nine (9) distinct communities around the City. This report addresses only LMAD 97-01, which contains four (4) separate zones. The general locations for Zones 1, 2, 3, & 4 are shown on the maps on the following pages.
The Sacramento County Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (SCLMAD) was created in 1994 by Sacramento County to consolidate eighteen separate landscape maintenance districts into a single district with five zones. Zones were established based on the type of landscaping, the frequency and level of service required and geographical location.
Upon incorporation, all of Zone 1, and part of Zones 2 and 4 of the SCLMAD fell within the boundaries of the City of Citrus Heights. As a result, the City created Assessment District 97-01 (AD 97-01) on August 13, 1997 to take over responsibility for the maintenance of the zones or portions of zones located within Citrus Heights. Subsequently, in 2004, the City split the existing Zone 4 into two separate zones, Zone 3 and Zone 4.
Funding for the District will be from annual assessments levied on property in the four zones.
The annual assessment levied on each property is related to the maintenance costs for the zone in which the parcel is located.
The following sections provide detailed explanations of each Zone. The corresponding Budget Assessment tables list the 2024/2025 sources of funds (revenues), uses of funds (direct and indirect expenditures), and the proposed assessment for each. Prior year expenditures and assessments are shown for comparison. The City has separated the accounting for each of the four zones; therefore, any noticing and balloting requirements for each of the zones will be treated independently.
ITEM 12 Agenda Packet Page 94

4 ZONE 1
General:
Known as the Bridgemont Landscape Maintenance Zone, the limits of Zone 1 are defined by Van Maren Lane on the east; north and south of Bridgemont Way, and by Cripple Creek on the west. There are 80 parcels in this Zone, whose boundaries are particularly shown on the Assessment Diagram in Figure 1.1.
The landscape is a natural open space re-vegetation area along Cripple Creek and adjacent to Van Maren Lane. It consists of naturalized and mitigated oak tree stands and other California native plantings. An automatic drip irrigation system is no longer providing water to the revegetation plantings, because the plantings are already well established. Routine maintenance includes tree and shrub care, pruning, fertilization, and tree and shrub well maintenance. A minimum of two times per year, in the spring and summer, weed abatement is performed along the open space perimeter, adjacent to the homes within the district.
City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 1.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.
District Financing/Method of Assessment:
Development of the single family Bridgemont subdivision was conditioned upon establishing a funding source to provide for ongoing landscape maintenance to the re-vegetation planting and open space area. The funding for Zone 1 is from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 1.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the single-family lots within the Zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all parcels located in Zone 1 that currently qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for Zone 1 upon formation in 1997 was $131.54.
This Zone does not have a cost of living increase provision.
Annual Assessment:
The annual costs for maintenance in Zone 1 have historically exceed total revenues from the assessments and the Zone’s cash reserves have been used to balance the annual budget.
However, this past year, adjustments have been made to preserve the districts reserves while still maintaining a level of service. This zone does not have a provision to increase the annual assessment levied on each parcel. Therefore, as shown in Figure 1.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 assessments for District 97-01 Zone 1 are proposed to remain the same as the previous fiscal year, at $131.54 per parcel per year for a total annual assessment of $10,523.20. In the future it may be necessary to use other funding sources to cover anticipated shortfalls and/or seek approval of a cost-of-living increase provision through a property owner vote.

9 ZONE 2
General:
Known as the Heather Downs Landscape Maintenance Zone, the Zone 2 limits are defined by Old Auburn Road on the south, east and west of Wickham Drive; and Mariposa Avenue on the west, north and south of Heredia Way. There are 82 parcels in this Zone, whose boundaries are more particularly shown on the Assessment Diagram in Figure 2.1.
The maintained area in Zone 2 consists of two landscape types, a natural, open space, revegetation area, and a street frontage (corridor). It consists of naturalized and mitigated oak tree stands, other California native plantings and an automatic drip irrigation system providing water to the re-vegetation plantings. Routine maintenance includes tree and shrub care, pruning, fertilization, and tree and shrub well maintenance. A minimum of three times per year, weed abatement mowing is performed in the open space.
The street frontage landscape includes lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Ongoing street frontage maintenance requires weekly care of the lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover, including weed control, fertilization, pruning, and litter removal.
City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 2.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.
District Financing/Method of Assessment:
As a condition of approval, the developer of this single family subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide ongoing landscape maintenance. The funding for Zone 2 is from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 2.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the singlefamily lots within the Zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all parcels located in Zone 2 that currently qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for Zone 2 upon formation was $122.74.
The original assessment amount per parcel was insufficient to fund the Zone 2 services after just a few years, so General Fund money was used to supplement this zone. However, in Fiscal Year 2000/2001 the property owners within this zone voted to approve an assessment increase from $122.74 to $151.38 per parcel.
Concurrent with the approval of the assessment increase in FY 2000/2001, the property owners also voted to include a cost of living adjustment provision for Zone 2. This provision allows for an increase in the annual assessment with the percent of increase over the previous annual assessment being less than or equal to the cost of living increase based on the Bay Area Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers.
ITEM 12 Agenda Packet Page 101
10 Annual Assessment:
An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is proposed for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
Maintenance and replacement costs for Zone 2 have continued to increase beyond the amount of revenue generated by the previous annual assessment. As a result, the City of Citrus Heights must increase the annual assessment on each assessed parcel. As shown in Figure 2.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 assessments for District 97-01 Zone 2 are proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable) to an amount of $160.60 per residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the Zone’s operations and maintenance as well as help to restore an appropriate operating reserve.
The FY 2024/2025 Assessment Roll for Zone 2 is shown in Figure 2.4.
Zone 2 Boundary:
All that territory situated in the City of Citrus Heights, County of Sacramento, State of California, more particularly described as follows and as shown on the Assessment Diagram for Zone 2 in Figure 2.1.

14 ZONE 3
General:
Zone 4 of LMAD 97-01, as originally adopted by the City, consisted of two widely separated landscape areas with differing landscape types and maintenance responsibilities. In 2004, the City Council adopted a resolution dividing Zone 4 into two parts and thereby creating Zone 3 (previously non-existent). Zone 3 consists of the Verner Glen Subdivision (commonly known as Summerhill). There are 80 parcels in this Zone, whose boundaries are particularly shown on the Assessment Diagram in Figure 3.1.
The maintained area in Zone 3 consists of street frontage landscape including lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Ongoing street frontage maintenance requires weekly care of the lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover, including weed control, fertilization, pruning, and litter removal.
City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 3.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.
District Financing/Method of Assessment:
As a condition of approval, the developer of two single family subdivisions comprising the original Zone 4 was required to establish a funding source to provide ongoing landscape maintenance. The funding was from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundaries, pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the single-family lots within the Zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all parcels located within the assessment boundaries that currently qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for Zone 4 upon formation was $42.50.
Upon separation in 2004, the original annual assessment of $42.50 was carried over to Zone 3.
General Fund money was used to supplement maintenance of landscaped areas in Zone 3 in the past. To eliminate the assessment revenue shortfall, an increase in assessment was proposed in Fiscal Year 98/99, but was unanimously opposed by the property owners in the required balloting process. In 2005 an increase in the annual assessment was again proposed and subsequently the property owners approved a one-time increase in the assessment from $42.50 to $81.88.
Concurrent with the assessment increase in 2005, a cost of living adjustment provision was proposed for Zone 3. However, during the property owner balloting process, this provision failed.
Annual Assessment:
The assessment increase approved in 2005 along with focused efforts to reduce overall maintenance costs kept Zone 3 expenditures below available revenues for several years.
However, increased monthly utility costs and the implementation of updated cost allocation ITEM 12 Agenda Packet Page 106
15 procedures by the City have resulted in a shortfall of approximately $17,772.32 for FY 2023/2024. With no current reserves, this shortfall was subsidized by Gas Tax funds. A shortfall of approximately $9,966.60 is anticipated for FY 2024/2025.
The Summary Analysis in Figure 3.3 shows details of the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 budget and assessments for Zone 3. The assessments for Zone 3 are proposed to remain the same as Fiscal Year 2023/2024, at $81.88 per parcel per year for a total annual assessment of $6,550.40, as this district does not allow for increasing the assessments without a vote of the effected property owners.

19 ZONE 4
General:
Zone 4 of LMAD 97-01 was originally adopted by the City in 1997. The original zone consisted of the Summerhill Subdivision and the Villa Creekridge Subdivision. These two single family subdivisions were on opposite sides of the City and had widely differing landscaping and maintenance responsibilities.
As a result of the different geographical locations and maintenance responsibilities, the City Council adopted a resolution in 2004 to divide Zone 4 into two parts. The Verner Glenn (Summerhill subdivision) was incorporated into the newly created Zone 3 and the 111 parcel Villa Creekridge Subdivision remained in Zone 4. Figure 4.1 shows the current boundaries of Zone 4.
Originally the maintained area in Zone 4 consisted of street frontage landscape including lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Ongoing street frontage maintenance requires weekly care of the lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover, including weed control, fertilization, pruning, and litter removal.
Over the years General Fund money has been used to supplement maintenance in Zone 4. To reduce the assessment revenue shortfall, staff repeatedly re-evaluated and adjusted the maintenance effort to reduce costs. In July 2007, the City Council approved detaching a portion of the maintained area from Zone 4 (landscaping along Fireweed Circle). This detached area is now maintained by a neighboring Homeowner’s Association under a special agreement. In 2010 the City implemented a xeriscaping (low-water and maintenance) plan to eliminate some of the more labor intensive and water consuming landscape features, such as turf, and reduced the level of service on the remaining landscaping to a minimum. In a further effort to reduce subsidies, in 2011, the City conducted a pilot project that reduced the frequency of maintenance (i.e. every 6 or 8 weeks instead of monthly). However, the monthly maintenance schedule was reinstated due to complaints on its appearance from the public.
Zone 4 now consists of street frontage landscape including trees, shrubs, and ground cover; all with monthly maintenance.
The City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 4.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.
District Financing/Method of Assessment:
As a condition of approval, the developer of two single family subdivisions comprising the original Zone 4 was required to establish a funding source to provide ongoing landscape maintenance. The funding for Zone 4 is from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundaries, pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.
Because each of the single-family lots within the Zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all parcels located within the assessment boundaries that ITEM 12 Agenda Packet Page 111
20 currently qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for Zone 4 upon formation was $42.50. Upon separation in 2004, the annual assessment for Zone 4 remained at $42.50 per assessed parcel.
General Fund money has been used to supplement maintenance of landscaped areas in Zone 4 in the past. To eliminate the assessment revenue shortfall, assessment increases were proposed in Fiscal Years 98/99, 2005/2006 and 2009/2010, but all attempts failed under majority opposition by the property owners in the required balloting process.
This Zone does not have a cost of living increase provision.
Annual Assessment:
From the beginning, General Fund revenues have been used to subsidize Zone 4 maintenance.
Efforts such as detaching part of the maintained area, replanting with low-water and low maintenance landscaping and even reducing the maintenance frequency have resulted in significant reductions in maintenance and utility costs, but the gap between maintenance expenditures and assessment revenues continues to widen.
For the 2023/2024 fiscal year, the increase of monthly utility costs and the implementation of updated cost allocation procedures by the city has resulted in a shortfall of $20,851.19 With no reserves, this shortfall was subsidized by Gas Tax revenues.
The Summary Analysis in Figure 4.3 shows details of the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 budget and assessments for Zone 4. The assessments for Zone 4 are proposed to remain the same as Fiscal Year 2023/2024, at $42.50 per parcel per year for a total annual assessment of $4,717.50, as this district does not allow for increasing the assessments without a vote of the effected property owners. For FY 2024/2025 the projected budget shortfall is $16,094.50 and again Gas Tax revenues are being budgeted to cover the shortfall.
The FY 2024/2025 Assessment Roll for Zone 4 is shown in 4.4.

This agenda item addresses LMADs 98-01, 98-02, and 03-01 (LMAD 97-01 is addressed under a separate agenda item). Specific maintenance responsibilities for each of these districts are discussed in the Engineer’s Report.
On June 27, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolutions of Intention for each of the three LMADs approving the Engineer’s Report, declaring its intention to order the annual update for Fiscal Year 2024/2025, to levy and collect assessments for the City of Citrus Heights Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts, and setting Wednesday, July 10, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. (or shortly thereafter) as the time and date for the public hearings.
Pursuant to State Law, the City must hold a public hearing on the matter for each District. Since an increase in assessments beyond the allowable annual increase per zone is not proposed and thus not triggering Prop 218, the code only requires the notice to be published in a newspaper.
The annual update and the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 for the Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Nos. 98-01, 98-02 (Zones 1, 2, 3 and 4) and 03-01 (Zones 1, 2 and 3), proposed by the resolutions will fund the following: maintenance and servicing of landscaping, trees, and other vegetation, and related or appurtenant facilities, including weeding, fertilizing, pruning, and controlling fungus, disease and insect infestation; operation of irrigation and drainage systems including the provision of water and power, and maintenance of sound walls.
The Engineer’s Report summarizes maintenance efforts and recommends increasing assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 by 3% (4% maximum allowed) for Districts 98-01; 98-02 Zones 1, 2, and 3; and 03-01 Zones 1 and 2. The recommended increases are to maintain current levels of service and sustain existing reserves in each of the respected zones.
For 98-02 Zone 4, (Wyatt Ranch) and District 03-01, Zone 3 (Mitchell Farms), the recommendation is to continue levying assessments at the same rate as FY 2023/2024. The ITEM 13 Agenda Packet Page 123

LEVY of FISCAL YEAR 2024/2025 ASSESSMENTS
INTRODUCTION
The City of Citrus Heights has four (4) separate landscape maintenance assessment districts, which provide for maintenance of common areas within nine (9) distinct communities around the City.
This Engineer’s Report addresses three of the Districts, 98-01, 98-02 (Zones 1, 2, 3 and 4), and 03-01 (Zones 1, 2 and 3). The general locations of these districts are shown on the maps on the following pages.
Assessment District 98-01, first created in 1998, is for the maintenance of certain areas within the subdivision called Stock Village Unit No. 1 and Unit No. 2. A Strip of land along the west edge of the subdivision and a strip of land along the east edge, adjacent to Stock Ranch Road are the areas to be maintained.
Assessment District 98-02 (Zone 1), first created in 1998, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the subdivisions called Sorensen Ranch Unit Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 development. All improvements are on public property. The improved parcels to be maintained are along the west side of Van Maren Lane (approximately 1500 feet); along the north side of Oak Lakes Lane (approximately 1300 feet); and shorter parcels along Campfire Way at Van Maren Lane (approximately 100 feet on the south side); Horseman Way at Van Maren Lane (approximately 100 feet on the north and south side); and the east side of Silversaddle Way at Oak Lake Lane (approximately 100 feet).
Assessment District 98-02 (Zone 2), first created in 2014, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Autumnwood Subdivision development. All improvements are on public property. The improved parcels to be maintained are along the south side of Antelope Road (approximately 300 feet); along the east side of Live Oak Way (approximately 370 feet); and two (2) detention basins within the subdivision.
Assessment District 98-02 (Zone 3), first created in 2018, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Mariposa Creek Subdivision development. All improvements are on public property. The improved parcels to be maintained are along the north side of Antelope Road ITEM 13 Agenda Packet Page 133
3 (approximately 436 feet); along Cripple Creek (approximately 185 lineal feet) located on the east side of the development; a pedestrian pathway with landscaping (Lot C) within the subdivision.
Assessment District 98-02, (Zone 4), provides for the maintenance of landscaping in certain dedicated public spaces within the Wyatt Ranch Subdivision. First annexed into Assessment District 98-02 by the City Council on November 14, 2019, the assessments for this 23 lot singlefamily parcel residential subdivision located on Lawrence Avenue on the west side of Sunrise Boulevard were not levied for the past two fiscal years due to the uncertainty of the pandemic situation and the resulting delays to construction. However, with completion of construction of the subdivision expected in the next year, assessments for the parcels within this subdivision will be levied for FY 2024/2025.
Assessment District 03-01 (Zones 1 & 2), first created in 2003, is for the maintenance of certain areas within the commercial and residential developments called Stock Ranch. Zone 1 (NORTH) consists of the landscaping along Auburn Boulevard between San Tomas Drive and Raintree Drive (north side of the street and within the medians) and the open space north of Arcade Creek. Zone 2 (SOUTH) consists of the open space on the south side of Arcade Creek and along the north side of Stock Ranch Road.
Assessment District 03-01 (Zone 3), first created in 2020, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Mitchell Farms Subdivision development. All improvements are on public property. Zone 3 provides for be maintenance of a large open space area (Lot A) along Arcade Creek located in the center of the development (to be dedicated to the Sunrise Recreation and Parks District upon completion) and the landscaping within roundabout and three approach islands on Arcadia Drive.

7 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 98-01
GENERAL
Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 98-01, first created in 1998, is located along the west side of Stock Ranch Road north of the Stock Ranch Road / Fountain Square Drive intersection. This LMAD provides for the maintenance of certain areas in and adjacent to Units 1 & 2 of the Stock Village subdivision. There are 133 parcels within this district, whose boundaries are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 1.1.
Specific features maintained along the western boundary of the subdivision include, a large group of mature oak trees, the west surface of the sound wall along that edge (but not the structural aspects of the wall) and the tree well areas on the west side of the sound wall. Initially the LMAD was responsible for maintaining 42 large Live and Blue oaks, however, through storm damage, disease, and age; that number has been reduced to 16. The City is committed to ensuring the health and viability of the remaining trees as well as the safety of the nearby residents. Therefore, the trees are regularly inspected by an arborist who specializes in oak tree care and maintenance (i.e. removal, pruning and/or cabling) is performed as recommended.
On the eastern boundary of the development, the LMAD maintains landscaping and irrigation in two planter areas adjacent to Stock Ranch Road (Parcels A and B) and the surface and structural aspects of the sound wall along the residential parcels abutting the two planter areas. The City is committed to the appearance of the development through proper maintenance of the plantings as well as periodic replacement of the plant materials. Additionally, the City also focuses on immediate abatement of graffiti on walls and other public structures.
City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 1.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.
It is understood that should the assessment district be dissolved or not generate enough funds to provide the amount of maintenance described herein, the City may reduce the level of maintenance and reduce or discontinue the repair of the improvements on parcels A and B. Additionally, the City shall then have no obligation to maintain the oak trees and sound wall on the west side of the subdivision. The individual property owners could perform the work on the west edge of the subdivision. The individual property owners would not be a beneficiary of the access easement along the west edge of the subdivision.
ITEM 13 Agenda Packet Page 138
8 DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Stock Village Unit No. 1 and Unit No. 2 subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance to the re-vegetation planting and the sound walls and the frontage landscaping and irrigation. The funding for the District is from annual assessments levied on properties within the assessment boundary (Figure 1.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the single-family lots within the District was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all Assessment Diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that could qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for District 98-01 upon formation in 1998 was $158.00 per parcel.
The formation of this district also included a cost of living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise, this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment. Each annual increase, if any, that exceeds the amount assessed to the property owners for the prior years shall not exceed the cost of living increase based on the Bay Area Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers.
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
Initially LMAD 98-01 was fully funded by its assessments and accumulated operating reserves in excess of those needed to address unforeseen tree and soundwall maintenance needs. As a result, in Fiscal Year 2004-2005 the annual assessment was reduced from $158 to $80. Over time this reduced assessment rate permitted the District to gradually drawdown the excessive operating reserve balance to an appropriate level. However, in recent years continued increases in the costs of regular maintenance activities and utilities have resulted in the reserves being depleted below the level needed to provide for unscheduled maintenance expenditures (i.e. wall repairs, oak tree trimming and electrical system repairs). As a result, in FY 2023/2024, the City of Citrus Heights, for the first time, utilitized the cost of living increase provision and increased the annual assessment by 3%.
An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is proposed for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
As shown in Figure 1.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 annual assessments for District 98-01 are proposed to again increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable), to approximately $87.40 per residential parcel, over the rates for FY 2023/2024. These additional revenues are necessary to support the District’s continued maintenance operations and preserve an appropriate operating reserve to address unforeseen maintenance and repair expenses.
The District’s Assessment Roll is shown in Figure 1.4.

15 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 98-02 – Zone 1 (Sorensen Ranch)
GENERAL
Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 98-02, Zone 1 (Sorensen Ranch), first created in 1998, is located west of Van Maren Lane and north of Oak Lakes Lane. This LMAD provides for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to Unit Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Sorensen Ranch development. There are 222 parcels in this district, whose boundaries are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 2.1.
All improvements are on public property. The improved parcels to be maintained are along the west side of Van Maren Lane (approximately 1500 feet); along the north side of Oak Lakes Lane (approximately 1300 feet); and shorter parcels along Campfire Way at Van Maren Lane (approximately 100 feet on the south side); Horseman Way at Van Maren Lane (approximately 100 feet on the north and south side); and the east side of Silversaddle Way at Oak Lakes Lane (approximately 100 feet).
The improvements to be maintained include 81 Oak trees and various conifer trees and accent trees. Shrubs, groundcover, lawn planting, irrigation, sound walls, sign walls with lighting, planters and mow strips are also included. The City is committed to the appearance of the development through proper maintenance of the plantings as well as periodic replacement of the plant materials.
Additionally, the City also focuses on immediate abatement of graffiti on walls and other public structures.
City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 2.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.
DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Sorensen Ranch Unit Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 subdivisions was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of the re-vegetation planting and the sound walls and the frontage landscaping and irrigation.
Funding for the LMAD 98-02, Zone 1 is from annual assessments levied on properties within the assessment boundary (Figure 2.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the single-family lots within the District was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all Assessment Diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that could qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for District 98-02, Zone 1 upon formation in 1998 was $200.00 per parcel.
The formation of this district also included a cost of living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise, this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment. Each annual increase, if any, that exceeds the amount assessed to the property owners for the prior years shall not exceed the cost of living increase based on the Bay Area Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers.
ITEM 13 Agenda Packet Page 146
16 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
Initially LMAD 98-02, Zone 1, was fully funded by its assessments and accumulated operating reserves in excess of those needed to address unforeseen maintenance/repair needs. As a result, in Fiscal Year 2003-2004 the annual assessment was reduced from $200 to $100. Over time this reduced assessment rate permitted the District to gradually drawdown the excessive operating reserve balance to an appropriate level. However, in recent years continued increases in the costs of regular maintenance activities and utilities have resulted in the reserves being depleted below the level needed to provide for unscheduled maintenance expenditures (i.e. soundwall repairs, oak tree trimming and irrigation/electrical system repairs). As a result, in FY 2023/2024, the City of Citrus Heights, for the first time, utilitized the cost of living increase provision and increased the annual assessment by 3%.
An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is proposed for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
As shown in Figure 2.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 annual assessments for District 98-02, Zone 1, are proposed to again increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable) over the rates for FY 2023/2024, to approximately $109.26 per residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the District’s continued maintenance operations and preserve an appropriate operating reserve to address unforeseen maintenance and repair expenses.
BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION OF AREA TO BE MAINTAINED
All that real property situated in the City of Citrus Heights, County of Sacramento, State of California, which is further described as follows:
Parcel 1, Parcel 2, and Parcel 3 as shown on that certain parcel map entitled “A Portion of the Southwest One-Quarter of Section 27, Township 10 North, Range 6 East, M.D.M.”, filed for record in the office of the Recorder of Sacramento County, on May 28, 1998, in Book 151 of Parcel Maps, at Page 3, and more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 2.1.
The District’s Assessment Roll is contained in Figure 2.4.

24 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 98-02 – Zone 2 (Autumnwood Subdivision)
GENERAL
Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 98-02, Zone 2 (Autumnwood Subdivision), first created in 2014, is located south side of Antelope Road and west of Amsterdam Avenue. This LMAD provides for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Autumnwood subdivision development. All improvements are on public property. There are 46 residential parcels in this district, whose boundaries are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 3.1.
Zone 2 consists of forty-six (46) residential lots and seven (7) lots used for landscaping, pedestrian pathways, and drainage detention basins.
Development of the property was conditioned upon establishing a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of landscaping, open space, pedestrian/bike trails, masonry walls, drainage detention basins and related appurtenances.
The facilities in Zone 2 include landscaping south of Antelope Road (Lots E and along the frontage of 7106 Antelope Road) and also within the subdivision (Lots A, B, C, D, F, and H). On-going maintenance of the landscaped areas require routine care of trees, shrubs, and groundcover, including weed control, fertilization, mulch replacement, and litter removal. The pedestrian pathways require routine maintenance, including surface and structural maintenance, and graffiti abatement.
The facilities in Zone 2 also include masonry walls on the North and East sides of the subdivision located within Lots A, B, C, E, and the frontage along 7106 Antelope Road. The walls require routine maintenance, including surface and structural maintenance, and graffiti abatement.
The walls and landscaping within the City’s Right-of-Way along the frontage of 7106 Antelope Road (APN: 204-0193-027-0000) as dedicated by separate instrument (County of Sacramento Book 20140715, Page 0721) is also included as areas to be maintained in LMAD 98-02, Zone 2.
The facilities in Zone 2 also include a drainage detention basin located in the northwest corner of the property in Lot D and a drainage detention basin located in the southeast corner of the property in Lot F. The drainage detention basins and appurtenances require routine maintenance including surface and structural maintenance, graffiti abatement, landscape maintenance, and litter removal.
Additionally, the facilities in Zone 2 include a pedestrian trail for circulation (Lots D, F, and H).
The trail will require routine maintenance and replacement.
Figure 3.2 contains a detailed listing of items to be maintained and/or replacement of each of the items. City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers.
ITEM 13 Agenda Packet Page 155
25 DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Autumnwood subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of the landscaping, irrigation, detention basins, pedestrian pathways, and masonry walls located within Lots A, B, C, E, and the frontage along 7106 Antelope Road. Funding for the LMAD 98-02, Zone 2 is from annual assessments levied on properties within the assessment boundary (Figure 3.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the single-family lots within the District was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all Assessment Diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that could qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for District 98-02, Zone 2 upon formation in 2014 was $354.09 per parcel.
The formation of this district also included a cost of living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise, this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment. Each annual increase, if any, shall not exceed a maximum of four percent 4%.
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
In recent years continued increases in the costs of regular maintenance activities and utilities have resulted in LMAD 98-02, Zone 2’s operating reserves being depleted below the level needed to provide for unscheduled maintenance expenditures (i.e. soundwall repairs, oak tree trimming and irrigation/electrical system repairs). As a result, in FY 2023/2024, the City of Citrus Heights, for the first time, utilitized the cost of living increase provision and increased the annual assessment by 3%.
An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is proposed for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
As shown in Figure 3.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 annual assessments for District 98-02, Zone 2, are proposed to again increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) over the rates for FY 2023/2024, to approximately $386.90 per residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the District’s continued maintenance operations and preserve an appropriate operating reserve to address unforeseen maintenance and repair expenses.
The district’s Assessment Roll is contained in Figure 3.4.

Funding for LMAD 98-02, Zone 3 will be from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 4.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the single-family lots within the zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion.
Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all assessment diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that qualified as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for District 98-02, Zone 3 upon formation in 2018 was $753.33 per parcel.
The formation of this district also included a cost of living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise, this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment. Each annual increase, if any, shall not exceed a maximum of four percent 4%.
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
In recent years continued increases in the costs of regular maintenance activities and utilities have resulted in LMAD 98-02 Zone 3’s operating reserves being depleted below the level needed to provide for unscheduled maintenance expenditures (i.e. soundwall repairs and irrigation/electrical system repairs). As a result, in FY 2023/2024, the City of Citrus Heights, for the first time, utilitized the cost of living increase provision and increased the annual assessment by 3%.
An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is proposed for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
As shown in Figure 4.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 annual assessments for District 98-02, Zone 3, are proposed to again increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) over the rates for FY 2023/2024, to approximately $823.14 per residential parcel,. These additional revenues are necessary to support the District’s continued maintenance operations and preserve an appropriate operating reserve to address unforeseen maintenance and repair expenses.
The district’s Assessment Roll is contained in Figure 4.4.

36 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 98-02 – Zone 4 (Wyatt Ranch Subdivision)
GENERAL
Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 98-02, Zone 4 (Wyatt Ranch Creek Subdivision), first created by City Council action on November 14, 2019, is located on the west side of Sunrise Boulevard at Lawrence Avenue. This LMAD provides for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Wyatt Ranch Subdivision development. All improvements are on public property or easements. There are 23 residential parcels in this zone, whose boundaries are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 5.1.
Zone 4 consists of twenty three (23) residential parcels and one (1) public utility, wall, landscape and pedestrian walkway easement used for landscaping, masonry wall and walkway along Sunrise Boulevard.
Development of the property was conditioned upon establishing a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of landscaping, masonry wall, walkways, and related appurtenances.
The facilities in Zone 4 include landscaping along the west side of Sunrise Boulevard. On-going maintenance of the landscaped areas require routine care of trees, shrubs and groundcover, including weed control, fertilization, mulch replacement, and litter removal. The pedestrian walkways require routine maintenance, including surface and structural maintenance and graffiti abatement. This includes replacement of the walkways in the next 40 years.
The facilities in Zone 4 also include a masonry wall along the west side of Sunrise Boulevard. The walls require routine maintenance, including surface and structural maintenance and graffiti abatement. This item includes replacement of the masonry wall, in the next 40 years.
Figure 5.2 contains a detailed listing of items to be maintained and/or replacement of each of the items. City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers.
DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Wyatt Ranch Subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of the landscaping, irrigation, pedestrian pathways, and masonry wall located within the Public Utility, Wall, Landscape and Pedestrian Walkway Easement. Funding for Zone 4 is be from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 5.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the single-family lots within the zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion.
Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all assessment diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that qualified as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for District 98-02, Zone 4 upon formation in 2018 was $401.06 per parcel.
ITEM 13 Agenda Packet Page 167
37 The formation of this district also included a cost of living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise, this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment. Each annual increase, if any, shall not exceed a maximum of four percent 4%.
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
Although formally created by the City Council in November 2019, no assessments were levied on the parcels in this zone until FY 2023/2024 due to the uncertainty of the Covid-19 situation and delays in construction.
Completion of construction of the subdivision and transfer of landscape maintenance responsibilities to the City of Citrus Heights is expected in the next year. Therefore, no adjustment in the annual assessment is proposed for this zone. As shown in Figure 5.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 assessments for District 98-02, Zone 4 are proposed to be levied at the same rate levied in FY 2023/2024.
The district’s Assessment Roll is contained in Figure 5.4.

GENERAL
This assessment district, first created in 2003, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Stock Ranch development. All improvements are on public property.
Assessment District 03-01 has two service areas, Zones 1 and 2. The boundaries of Zone 1 are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 6.1.
Zone 1 (Auburn Commerce District) is responsible for the landscaping along Auburn Boulevard between San Tomas Drive and Raintree Drive (both sides of the street and the medians), sound walls (surface and structural maintenance) along the east and west sides of the development and the open space north of Arcade Creek including the drainage basins, pedestrian trails and bridge.
The City is committed to the appearance of the development through proper maintenance of the plantings as well as periodic replacement of the plant materials. Additionally, the City also focuses on immediate abatement of graffiti on walls and other public structures.
The City maintains LMAD related landscape areas in and adjacent to public streets using City forces or those of contract providers. Facilities located in the open-space areas within the District are maintained by the Sunrise Park and Recreation District. Figure 6.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.
DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
As a condition of approval, the developer of the commercial zone of Stock Ranch development was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of the landscaping and irrigation along Auburn Boulevard between San Tomas Drive and Raintree Drive (both sides of the street and the medians), sound walls (surface and structural maintenance) along the east and west sides of the development and the open space north of Arcade Creek including the drainage basins, pedestrian trails and bridge. Funding for the LMAD 03-01 Zone 1 is from annual assessments levied on property within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 6.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. By agreement, the developer of the Stock Ranch subdivisions installed and maintained all landscaping improvements described in this Engineer’s Report until the City’s acceptance.
The method used to spread the assessments for Zone 1 is as follows:
• Zone 1 consists of 67.20 total acres with 36.82 acres designated for commercial uses. • The cost to maintain the improvements within Zone 1 is to be allocated as follows:
1. The assessment for each parcel is calculated by multiplying the total developable acres, as shown in Figure 4.4, by the cost per acre.
2. The assessment is subject to an annual adjustment not to exceed 4% beginning with FY 2004-2005.
ITEM 13 Agenda Packet Page 173
43 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT:
An adjustment in the annual assessment rate per acre is proposed for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
As shown in Figure 6.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 assessments for District 03-01 Zone 1 are proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) by approximately $2,632.37 per acre. These additional revenues are necessary to support the LMAD 03-01 Zone 1’s operations and maintenance, provided by the Sunrise Recreation and Park District and City forces, and to preserve existing operating and replacement reserves.

47 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 03-01 - ZONE 2 Stock Ranch SOUTH
GENERAL
This assessment district, first created in 2003, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Stock Ranch development. All improvements are on public property.
Assessment District 03-01 has two service areas, Zones 1 and 2. On July 13, 2006 the City Council approved the annexation of Phases 3 and 4 of the Stock Ranch Residential development into Zone
2. The boundaries of Zone 2 are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 7.1.
Zone 2 is responsible for the open space on the south side of Arcade Creek and along the north side of Stock Ranch Road, the landscape strip along the north side of Stock Ranch Road (Sol Way to Woodside Drive), the pedestrian trails and park facilities, a future median in Stock Ranch Road, east of the roundabout, and a future landscape strip along the south side of Stock Ranch Road. The City is committed to the appearance of the development through proper maintenance of the plantings as well as periodic replacement of the plant materials. Additionally, the City also focuses on immediate abatement of graffiti on walls and other public structures.
The City maintains LMAD related landscape areas in and adjacent to public streets using City forces or those of contract providers. Facilities located in the open-space areas within the District are maintained by the Sunrise Park and Recreation District. Figure 7.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.
DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
As a condition of approval, the developer of the commercial zone of Stock Ranch development was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of open space on the south side of Arcade Creek and along the north side of Stock Ranch Road, the landscape strip along the north side of Stock Ranch Road (Sol Way to Woodside Drive), the pedestrian trails and park facilities, a future median in Stock Ranch Road, east of the roundabout, and a future landscape strip along the south side of Stock Ranch Road. Funding for the District is from annual assessments levied on properties within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 7.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. The original annual assessment adopted for District 03- 01 Zone 2, upon formation in FY 2003/2004 was $82.42 per single-family residential parcel and $411.86 per acre of undeveloped/commercial property.
The formation of this district also included a cost of living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise, this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment by an amount not exceed a maximum of four percent 4% per year.
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT:
Initially LMAD 03-01 Zone 2, was fully funded by its assessments. However, in recent years continued increases in the costs of regular maintenance activities and utilities have resulted in the annual expenses exceeding the annual assessment revenue and operating reserves being depleted ITEM 13 Agenda Packet Page 178
48 to make up the difference. As a result, in FY 2021/2022 and FY 2023/2024, the City of Citrus Heights utilitized the cost of living increase provision and increased the annual assessment by 4% and 3%, respectively.
Annual adjustments in the assessment rate are proposed for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. As shown in Figure 7.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 assessments for District 03- 01 Zone 2 are again proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) over the rates charged in FY 2023/2024. This results in increases to approximately $93.64 per residential parcel and $468.03 per acre of undeveloped/commercial land. These additional revenues are necessary to support the extensive maintenance needs for the District, provided by the Sunrise Recreation and Park District as well as the City through contract services.

53 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 03-01 – Zone 3 (Mitchell Farms Subdivision)
GENERAL
Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 03-01, Zone 3 (Mitchell Farms Subdivision), first created by City Council action on April 23, 2020, is located east of Sunrise Boulevard, north of Arcadia Drive, and west of Fair Oaks Boulevard. This LMAD provides for the maintenance of a large open-space lot within the Mitchell Farms Subdivision development and landscaping within a roundabout on Arcadia Drive. All improvements are on public property.
There are 258 residential parcels in this district, whose boundaries are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 8.1.
This subdivision of land, covered by Zone 3, includes 258 residential lots, one public park lot (Lot A) and 51 common area and alley lots owned and maintained by the Home Owners Association (HOA). Upon recordation of the Final Map and completion of the construction of the park improvements, Lot A will be dedicated to Sunrise Recreation and Parks District (SRPD).
To supplement the available funding for the long-term maintenance and replacement costs for the improvements within Lot A and the landscaping and irrigation within the new Arcadia Drive roundabout, the development was conditioned to create a new Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD).
Public amenities in Zone 3, to be maintained on an annual basis with this LMAD funding, include trees, natural grasses, irrigation systems, pedestrian/bike pathways, pathway lighting and bridges within the open-space lot (Lot A) and landscaping and irrigation system within the Arcadia Drive roundabout. On-going maintenance of the landscaped areas require routine care of trees, shrubs, and groundcover, including weed control, fertilization, mulch replacement, litter removal and irrigation systems. The pedestrian pathways and associated bridges require routine maintenance, including surface and structural maintenance, maintenance and repairs of pathway lighting and graffiti abatement.
In addition to regular annual maintenance, the facilities in Zone 3 (pedestrian/bike pathway, bridges, pathway lighting system, irrigation system, and roundabout landscape and irrigation) require periodic major repairs and/or replacement. Zone 3 provides a funding set-aside for longterm capital replacement of these items.
Figure 8.2 contains a detailed listing of items to be maintained and/or replacement of each of the items. City and the SRPD perform/manage the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers.
ITEM 13 Agenda Packet Page 184
54 DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Mitchell Farms Subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of the landscaping include trees, natural grasses, irrigation systems, pedestrian/bike pathways, pathway lighting and bridges within the open-space lot (Lot A) and landscaping and irrigation system within the Arcadia Drive roundabout. The funding for LMAD 03-01, Zone 3 will be from annual assessments levied on property within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 8.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the single-family lots within the zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all assessment diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that qualified as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances.
The method used to spread the initial assessments for each lot are as follows:
• Zone 3 consists 258 residential lots, 30 lettered HOA landscape lots, 20 alley lots, and one public park lot (Lot A).
• The costs of the maintenance for the improvements within Mitchell Farms are to be allocated as follows:
• The assessment for each Assessor’s Parcel is calculated by dividing the total annual cost, by the total number of residential lots within the subdivision. As follows: Annual cost/number of lots = Annual cost of $88,851.20 divided by 258 lots = $344.38 per lot per year.
• The formation of this district also included a cost of living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise, this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment by an amount not exceed a maximum of four percent 4% per year.
The development is currently under construction, so the developer has agreed to maintain the landscaped areas and other features until the proposed improvements are formally accepted by the agencies (Sunrise Recreation and Parks District for Lot A and the City of Citrus Heights for the Arcadia Drive roundabout).
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
The district’s Maintenance Summary is contained in Figure 8.3. The Fiscal Year 2024/2025 assessments proposed for District 03-01, Zone 3 are proposed to remain the same as Fiscal Year 2021/2022. No annual adjustments are proposed for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
The district’s Assessment Roll is contained in Figure 8.4.

CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 10, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Regina Cave, General Services Director
Leslie Blomquist, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Citrus Heights Lighting Assessment District
Levy of Fiscal Year 24/25 Annual Assessments
Summary and Recommendation
On June 27, 2024, the City Council took the first steps toward the proposed annual update for Fiscal Year 24/25 for the Citrus Heights Lighting District (CHLD). At that time, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to update the CHLD and called for a public hearing on July 10, 2024. Subsequently, the City Clerk published the required notice.
No changes are recommended to the assessment rates in conjunction with the annual update of the CHLD. However, over the past fiscal year, new streetlights and infrastructure have been installed at various locations throughout the City. Staff updated the assessment role to reflect the new rates for several individual parcels that now benefit from the newly installed lighting.
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Convene a public hearing for the District regarding the proposed annual assessment for Fiscal Year 24/25; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-____ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, to Confirm the Diagram and Assessment and to Levy Fiscal Year 24/25 Assessments for the Citrus Heights Lighting Assessment District.
City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
