DETERMINATION

No.: ZAP1089RG25
Related File No.: ZCA24008 (Zoning Code Ordinance)
APN: Citywide
Dear Mr. Pechous,
As
authorized by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) pursuant to its Resolution No. 2011-02, as ALUC Director, I have reviewed City of Riverside Zoning Code Ordinance (ZCA24008), a proposal to amend C hapter 5.45 ( Massage Establishment ) and sections 9.115.020, 9.125.020, and 9.140.020 of title 9 (Zoning and Planning) of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code, including but not limited to (see Sec. 5.45.020): The proposed ordinance mandates that all massage professionals working in the city must be certified by the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) and to align with the proposed changes to massage establishment regulations in Chapter 5 (business code), the planning and zoning code (Chapter 9) must be updated in the C -1, C-P-S, and R -VC zones. The changes include1. Replacing "massage parlors" and "Turkish baths" with the term "massage establishments," which will require a new Massage Establishment Permit instead of a Site Development Permit; and 2.
Reclassifying "health centers and similar personal service establishments" as "Fitness/Health Facilities," for consistency with other sections of the zoning code. This use will continue to require Site Development Permit approval.
The propos
ed amendments do not involve changes in development standards or allowable land uses that would increase residential density or non- residential intensity. Therefore, these amendments have no possibility for having an impact on the safety of air navigation within airport influence areas located within the City of Riverside .
As
ALUC Director, I hereby find the above- referenced project CONSISTENT with the 2014 March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, 2005 Riverside Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, and the 2004 Flabob Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
Th
is determination of consistency relates to airport compatibility issues and does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of the proposed amendment.
If
you have any questions, please contact me at (951) 955- 6893.

ncerely,

FROM: ROD BUTLER, CITY MANAGER
BY: JOE PEREZ, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER / COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM NO. 14.B
ADOPT FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE MAPS FOR THE CITY
PREPARED BY THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL
RECOMMENDATION
1. That prior to consideration of the proposed Ordinance, the City Clerk randomly select Mayor Berkson, Mayor pro Tem Barajas, or Council Member Sanchez pursuant to Section 18705 of the Regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission to achieve a quorum for this Agenda Item since these three Council Members own residential property in the proposed Fire Hazard Severity Zones and three affirmative votes of the Council are required by State law to adopt the Ordinance.
2. That the City Council introduce the following Ordinance No. 2025-13:
ORDINANCE NO. 2025 -13
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JURUPA
VALLEY, CALIFORNIA ADOPTING THE FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY
ZONE MAP AND ADDING CHAPTER 8.12 TO THE JURUPA VALLEY
MUNICIPAL CODE, FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE MAP AND
FINDING THE ORDINANCE EXEMPT FROM CEQA
BACKGROUND
Govern
ment Code Section 51178 requires the State Fire Marshal to identify areas in the state as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. Moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors including areas where winds have been identified by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.
RETURN TO AGENDA
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Page | 2
On March 24, 2025, pursuant to Government Code section 51178, the State Fire Marshal published a map indicating the Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zones for the City of Jurupa Valley that designates various areas in the City of Jurupa Valley as moderate, high and very high Fire Hazard Severity Zones (“FHSZ”).
Within 30 days after receiving the Fire Hazard Severity Zones map, the City made the maps and information available for public review and comment and placed the information and maps on its website in an understandable and accessible form.
Information is available on the City’s Fire Hazard Severity Zone website at:
https://www.jurupavalley.org/590/2025-Fire-Hazard-Severity-Zones-FHSZ .
Here is a copy of the City’s Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map:
The recent updates to Fire Hazard Severity Zones in California provide a more precise assessment of wildfire risks using modern climate data and advanced fire modeling.
These updates impact Local Responsibility Areas (LRA), influencing fire prevention measures. Including defensible space, building codes, and real estate disclosure requirements.
ANALYSIS
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Page | 3
Factors Used in the Designation of the Fire Hazard Severity Zones Properties are designated as Moderate, High, or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones based on:
• Terrain and topography
• Vegetation and fuel conditions
• Fire history and frequency
• Climate and weather patterns
The FHSZ maps identify the hazard potential, not the immediate risk. They do not factor in mitigation efforts such as defensible space, fire-resistant construction, or local firefighting capabilities.
According to Cal Fire, the fire hazard severity model for wildland fire has two key elements: probability of an area burning and expected fire behavior under extreme fuel and weather conditions. The zones reflect areas that have similar burn probabilities and fire behavior characteristics. The factors considered in determining fire hazard within wildland areas are fire history, flame length, terrain, local weather, and potential fuel over a 50-year period. Outside of wildlands, the model considers factors that might lead to buildings being threatened, including terrain, weather, urban vegetation cover, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, fire history, and fire hazard in nearby wildlands.
FHSZs are not a structure loss model, as key information regarding structure ignition (such as roof type, etc.) is not included.
Impact of Zone Designation on Homeowners within a Zone
Generally, homeowners in Very High FHSZ must:
• Maintain 100 feet of defensible space around structures. • Comply with home hardening requirements to reduce ignition risks. • Ensure new construction and renovations adhere to Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) building codes which are found in the California Building Code Chapter 7A.
• Disclose FHSZ designation when selling property.
Generally, homeowners in High FHSZ must:
• Comply with home hardening requirements to reduce ignition risks. • Ensure new construction and renovations adhere to Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) building codes.
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Page | 4
• Disclose FHSZ designation when selling property.
Specifically, Government Code Section 51182 requires homeowners in the Very High FHSZ to:
● Maintain defensible space of 100 feet from each side and from the front and rear of the structure. The amount of fuel modification necessary shall consider the flammability of the structure as affected by building material, building standards, location, and type of vegetation. Fuels shall be maintained and spaced in a condition so that a wildfire would be unlikely to ignite the structure. This does not apply to single specimens of trees or other vegetation that are well-pruned and maintained so as to effectively manage fuels and not form a means of rapidly transmitting fire from other nearby vegetation to a structure or from a structure to other nearby vegetation or to interrupt the advance of embers toward a structure. The intensity of fuels management may vary within the 100-foot perimeter of the structure, with more intense fuel reductions being used between 5 and 30 feet around the structure, and an ember-resistant zone being required within 5 feet of the structure, to consider the elimination of materials in the ember-resistant zone that would likely be ignited by embers. ● Remove that portion of a tree that extends within 10 feet of the outlet of a chimney or stovepipe.
● Maintain a tree, shrub, or other plant adjacent to or overhanging a building free of dead or dying wood.
● Maintain the roof of a structure free of leaves, needles, or other vegetative materials.
These provisions would be enforced through the Chapter 6.45 of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code, Hazardous Vegetation, both on an annual basis and any time violations are observed or reported.
Additionally, the City may not decrease the FHSZ level recommended by State Fire Marshall. The City may add to or increase the recommended FHSZ level, but Riverside County Fire Department (Cal Fire) is not proposing any additions or increases during this adoption process. Government Code Section 51179.
Fire Insurance Related Questions
According to Cal Fire, Insurance companies use risk models, which differ from hazard models, because they consider the susceptibility of a structure to damage from fire and other short-term factors that are not included in hazard modeling. It is unlikely that insurance risk models specifically call out Cal Fire’s Fire Hazard Severity Zones as a factor, but much of the same data that is used in the fire hazard severity zone model are likely included in the insurance companies’ risk models. However, insurance risk models incorporate many additional factors and factors that change more frequently than those Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025

that Cal Fire includes in its hazard mapping, which is built to remain steady for the next 10+ years.
PROCEDURE FOR RANDOM SELECTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 18705 OF THE
FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION REGULATIONS
Gov
ernment Code Section 51178 requires the State Fire Marshal to identify areas in the state as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas.
Government Code Section 51179 requires that “A local agency shall designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones in its jurisdiction within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.” Government Code Section 36936 provides that “ordinances require a recorded majority vote of the total membership of the city council.” Since the Jurupa Valley City Council has five members, three affirmative votes are required to adopt an ordinance.
The p
ersonal residences of Council Member Barajas and Council Member Sanchez are located on parcels within the Fire Hazard Severity Zones for the City of Jurupa Valley identified by the State Fire Marshal. The personal residence of Mayor Berkson is located on a parcel within 500 feet of the Fire Hazard Severity Zones for the City of Jurupa Valley identified by the State Fire Marshal. In the opinion of the City Attorney, these three members may not participate in the Council’s decision to approve the Fire Hazard Severity Zones pursuant to Section 18702.2(a)(1) and (7) of the Regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission because the Council action to adopt the Fire Hazard Severity Zones “involves the adoption or amendment of a development plan or criteria applying the parcel” or is within 500 feet of the zone.
In t
he event potential conflict of interest will prevent a legislative body from achieving a quorum for the transaction of business, Section 18705 of the Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations specifically authorizes the random selection of one or more members of a legislative body that would have a financial interest in a decision to participate in that decision if necessary to achieve a quorum of the legislative body.
Therefore, in order to achieve a quorum of three Members of the City Council pursuant to and to enact an ordinance approving the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps as required by Government Code Sections 36936 and 51779, it is necessary to randomly select either Mayor Berkson, Mayor pro Tem Member Barajas or Council Member Sanchez to achieve the required quorum.
The f
ollowing procedures have been found by decisions of the Fair Political Practices to meet the requirements of Section 18705 of the Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations for the random selection of a City Council Member to achieve the required quorum for approval of the Fire Hazard Severity Zones pursuant to Government Code Sections 36936 and 51779:
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Page | 6
1. The ran
dom selection process will occur just prior to consideration of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the Council at public session at the June 6, 2025 regular meeting of the City Council.
2. This
Agenda Report includes a description of the nature of the economic interest of the members involved, the real property interests of the members involved, and a description of the circumstances in which the conflict might arise, and the legal necessity of achieving a quorum to act on this matter, as required by Section 18705.
3. The Ci
ty Clerk will stand in front of the public audience, with the Deputy City Clerk as a witness, and place the names of Mayor Berkson, Council Member Barajas and Council Member Sanchez on individual pieces of paper into a clear bowl and folded so that their names are not visible or otherwise identifiable.
4. The Ci
ty Clerk will announce that she will draw the name of one of these Council Members from the bowl and that the Council Member whose name is drawn will be deemed randomly selected to participate in all matters of the City Council to act on the Fire Hazard Severity Zones as required by Government Code Sections 36936 and 51779.
5. The Ci
ty Clerk will draw a piece of paper from the bowl and announce the name of the member selected to participate in all actions related to the Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
6. The
City Clerk will specifically record in the official minutes of City Council a description of the process employed and the name of the Council Member randomly selected to participate.
7. The Cou
ncil Member randomly selected will then be entitled to participate in all actions of the City Council related to the Fire Hazard Severity Zones as required by Government Code Sections 36936 and 51779.
FINANCI
AL IMPACTS
There are no financial impacts to the City from the recommended action.

2024 FAQ Page 1
• What is a “Fire Hazard Severity Zone,” or FHSZ?
o Answer: Public Resource Code 4202; The State Fire Marshal shall classify lands within state responsibility areas into fire hazard severity zones. Each zone shall embrace relatively homogeneous lands and shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors present, including areas where winds have been identified by the department as a major cause of wildfire spread. Government Code 51178; The State Fire Marshal shall identify areas in the state as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. Moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors including areas where winds have been identified by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.
• Why are fire hazard severity maps being updated?
o Answer: The hazard maps are being updated to more accurately reflect the zones in California that are susceptible to wildfire. The hazard mapping process will incorporate new science in local climate data and improved fire assessment modeling in determining hazard ratings.
• What do Fire Hazard Severity Zones measure?
o Answer: The Fire Hazard Severity Zone map evaluates “hazard,” not “risk”. The map is like flood zone maps, where lands are described in terms of the probability level of a particular area being inundated by floodwaters, and not specifically prescriptive of impacts. “Hazard” is based on the physical conditions that create a likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50-year period without considering mitigation measures such as home hardening, recent wildfire, or fuel reduction efforts. “Risk” is the potential damage a fire can do to the area under existing conditions, accounting for any modifications such as fuel reduction projects, defensible space, and ignition resistant building construction.
• Where do Fire Hazard Severity Zones apply?
o Answer: Fire Hazard Severity Zones are found in areas where the state has financial responsibility for wildfire protection and prevention, called the State Responsibility Area.
More than 31 million acres are in this area. Under Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021) Government Code 51178 was amended to add the Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zones with the Very High in local jurisdictions.
• What are the uses of Fire Hazard Severity Zones?
o Answer: The zones are used for several purposes including to designate areas where California’s defensible space standards and wildland urban interface building codes are F

required. They can be a factor in real estate disclosure, and local governments may consider them in their general plan.
• Is there an easy way to determine the Fire Hazard Severity Zone of my property? o Answer: You can search by address to find your current designation on the web at:
osfm.fire.ca.gov/FHSZ
• What are the key elements of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model? o Answer: The fire hazard severity model for wildland fire has two key elements: probability of an area burning and expected fire behavior under extreme fuel and weather conditions.
The zones reflect areas that have similar burn probabilities and fire behavior characteristics. The factors considered in determining fire hazard within wildland areas are fire history, flame length, terrain, local weather , and potential fuel over a 50-year period.
Outside of wildlands, the model considers factors that might lead to buildings being threatened, including terrain, weather, urban vegetation cover, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, fire history, and fire hazard in nearby wildlands. FHSZs are not a structure loss model, as key information regarding structure ignition (such as roof type, etc.) is not included.
• How do the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps differ from California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) High Fire Threat District Maps?
o Answer: The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) sponsored map, known as "CPUC High Fire Threat District Map” (HFTD), includes similar factors as those in the FHSZ maps, however the CPUC HFTD Map is designed specifically for identifying areas where there is an increased risk for utility associated wildfires. As such, the CPUC map includes fire hazards associated with historical powerline-caused wildfires, current fuel conditions, and scores areas based on where fires start, as opposed to where potential fires may cause impacts.
• Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? o Answer: In non-wildland areas, zone edges occur based on distance to the wildland edge.
Because hazard in these areas is largely determined by incoming embers from adjacent wildland, urban areas that are similar in vegetation type and housing density may have a change in FHSZ class as the distance to the wildland edge increases. Areas immediately adjacent to wildland receive the same FHSZ score as that wildland where fire originates, and the model then produces lower scores as the distance to wildland edge increases.
In wildland areas, zone edges are a result of the way zones are delineated. Specifically, zones represent areas of similar slope and fuel potential. Zone boundaries divide zones based on geographic and vegetation features that align with fire hazard potential; although, at a local scale, it may appear that the immediate area is similar on both sides of the edge. The class value within a zone is based on the average hazard score across the whole zone, so areas that are in the same zone but not immediately adjacent to a local area can have an influence on the final zone classification.
Data Related Questions
• How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined?
o Answer: CAL FIRE used the best available science and data to develop, and field test a model that served as the basis of zone assignments. The model evaluated the probability of Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
CAL FIRE – December 18, 2024
2024 FAQ Page 3
the area burning and potential fire behavior in the area. Many factors were included such as fire history, vegetation, flame length, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, terrain, and weather.
• What new data will be included in the new model, and how does this differ from the previous model?
o Answer: A 2 km grid of climate data covering the years 2003-2018 is being used in the update. The previous model used stock weather inputs across the state to calculate wildland fire intensity scores. The updated model will adjust fire intensity scores based on the most extreme fire weather at a given location, considering temperature, humidity, and wind speed. In addition, ember transport is being modeled based on local distributions of observed wind speed and direction values instead of using a generic buffer distance for urban areas adjacent to wildlands.
• What is the difference between the various Fire Hazard Severity Zones? o Answer: Classification of a wildland zone as Moderate, High or Very High fire hazard is based on the average hazard across the area included in the zone, which have a minimum size of 200 acres. In wildlands, hazard is a function of modeled flame length under the worst conditions and annual burn probability. Both these factors generally increase with increasing hazard level, but there may be instances where one value is Very High and the other is low, pushing the overall hazard into a more intermediate ranking. On average, both modeled flame length and burn probability increase by roughly 40-60% between hazard classes. Classification outside of wildland areas is based on the fire hazard of the adjacent wildland and the probability of flames and embers threatening buildings.
• Why does the model place an emphasis on the spread of embers? o Answer: Embers spread wildfire because they can travel long distances in the wind and ignite vegetation, roofs, attics (by getting into vents), and decks.
State Regulated Area Questions
• When were the maps last updated?
o Answer: The Office of the State Fire Marshal began the regulatory process for the State Responsibility Area (SRA) in December 2022, the final maps were adopted on January 31, 2024, and became effective April 1, 2024.
• What is “State Responsibility Area," or SRA?
o Answer: SRA is a legal term defining the area where the state has financial responsibility for wildland fire protection and prevention. Incorporated cities and federal ownership are not included. Within the SRA, CAL FIRE is responsible for fire prevention and suppression.
There are more than 31 million acres in SRA, with an estimated 1.7 million people and 800,000 existing homes.
• How is state responsibility area determined?
o Answer: The Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (Board) classifies land as State Responsibility Area. The legal definition of SRA is found in the Public Resources Code Section 4125. The Board has developed detailed procedures to classify lands as State Responsibility Area. Lands are removed from SRA when they become incorporated by a city, change in ownership to the federal government, become more densely populated, or are converted to intensive agriculture that minimizes the risk of wildfire. While some lands are removed from SRA automatically, the Board typically reviews changes every five years.

CAL FIRE – December 18, 2024
2024 FAQ Page 4
• What Fire Hazard Severity Zones are in State Responsibility Area? o Answer: All of the State Responsibility Area is in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Lands are either ranked as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
• What are the wildland urban interface (WUI) building codes in State Responsibility Area? o Answer: The WUI building codes (California Building Code (CBC) Chapter 7A) reduce the risk of embers fanned by wind-blown wildfires from igniting buildings. The codes for roofing, siding, decking, windows, and vents apply throughout all state responsibility area regardless of the fire hazard severity ranking. Ember-resistant building materials can be found at: https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/divisions/fire-engineering-and- investigations/buildingmaterials-listing/
• Is the GIS data for Fire Hazard Severity Zones available for download? o Answer: The data inputs used to develop the Fire Hazard Severity Zones are identified in the Initial Statement of Reasons (ISOR) Title 19 Development (ca.gov). CAL FIRE has developed an additional data package which consists of sequential modeling steps, including any data inputs that were not already publicly available and referenced in the ISOR. The data package encompasses 34 spatial datasets and 8 tables, provided in raster, polygon, and table format. These datasets are formatted for Esri ArcGIS software, except for four tables provided in Excel. Ten of the datasets are updated versions used to produce an edited SRA FHSZ map following the public comment period that ended April 4, 2023.
Upon formal adoption of the FHSZ map, the final SRA FHSZ geospatial data file will become available. The data package is available on the FHSZ website Fire Hazard Severity Zones (ca.gov) under the science and methods banner.
• Why do waterbodies have a Fire Hazard Severity Zone Classification? o Answer: All areas in State Responsibility Area, including water bodies, require a fire hazard severity zone designation. The 2007 FHSZ maps zoned all water as moderate by default. In the 2023 FHSZ model we added a buffer of FHSZ from the surrounding wildland into water bodies to account for potential threat of embers to buildings on docks and house boats, as well as variation in reservoir height that occurs with drought.
Local Regulated Area Questions
• What is “Local Responsibility Area”, or LRA?
o Answer: Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) are incorporated cities, urban regions, agriculture lands, and portions of the desert where the local government is responsible for wildfire protection. This is typically provided by city fire departments, fire protection districts, counties, and by CAL FIRE under contract.
• When did Fire Hazard Severity Zones start in Local Responsibility Area? o Answer: The “Bates Bill” (AB 337), Government Code Section 51175, was prompted by the devastating Oakland Hills Fire of 1991. This mid-1990s legislation calls for CAL FIRE to evaluate fire hazard severity in local responsibility area and to make a recommendation to the local jurisdiction where very high FHSZs exist. The Government Code then provides direction for the local jurisdiction to take appropriate action.
• How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined in local responsibility areas? o Answer: CAL FIRE uses an extension of the state responsibility area Fire Hazard Severity Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
CAL FIRE – December 18, 2024
2024 FAQ Page 5
Zone model as the basis for evaluating fire hazard in Local Responsibility Area. The Local Responsibility Area hazard rating reflects flame and ember intrusion from adjacent wildlands and from flammable vegetation in the urban area.
• What are the requirements for landowners in FHSZs in local responsibility areas? o Answer: California’s WUI building codes (CBC Chapter 7A) apply to the design and construction of new buildings located in High and Very High FHSZs in Local Responsibility Areas. Local ordinances may require ignition resistant construction for remodel projects.
Check with your local building department to determine which ignition resistant building codes apply to your project. In addition, Government Code Section 51182 calls for defensible space clearance and other wildland fire safety practices for buildings. Owners are also required to make a natural hazard disclosure as part of a real estate transfer. For information regarding “home hardening” and defensible space clearance, visit www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
• Does the designation of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area trigger the 100-foot clearance requirement?
o Answer: Yes, per Government Code 51182 unless a local government has passed a more stringent requirement, the 100-foot defensible space clearance applies. For information regarding “home hardening” and defensible space clearance, visit www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
• How does CAL FIRE assist Local Governments in Fire Hazard Severity Zones? o Answer: CAL FIRE’s Land Use Planning Program is a specialized unit that provides support to local governments by providing fire safety expertise on the State’s wildland urban interface building codes, wildfire safety codes, as well as helping in the development of the safety elements in general plans.
• What is the process for developing Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area? o Answer: CAL FIRE uses the same modeling data that is used to map the State Responsibility Area. The map, along with a model ordinance, are then sent to the governing body for adoption.
• How are the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones impacting development? o Answer: Many of the changes expanding fire hazard severity zones in local responsibility areas (LRA) have been supported by the building industry. CAL FIRE works closely with the building industry when setting various building codes and defensible space requirements, so we are working together to not affect development itself but to make sure development matches the hazards of that area.
• When will the Local Responsibility Area Map be released? o Answer: The Local Responsibility Area Map Process will happen after the State Responsibility Area process has been completed, which is estimated to occur in the winter of 2025.
• Why haven’t Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes been classified before in the Local Responsibility Area?
o Answer: New legislation, Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021), now requires the adoption of all three Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes in the Local Responsibility Area. Previously only Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones were required for adoption in Local Responsibility Areas.

CAL FIRE – December 18, 2024
2024 FAQ Page 6
Insurance Related Questions
• Will the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones affect my ability to get or maintain insurance? o Answer: Insurance companies use risk models, which differ from hazard models, because they consider the susceptibility of a structure to damage from fire and other short-term factors that are not included in hazard modeling. It is unlikely that insurance risk models specifically call out CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones as a factor, but much of the same data that is used in the fire hazard severity zone model are likely included in the insurance companies’ risk models. However, insurance risk models incorporate many additional factors and factors that change more frequently than those that CAL FIRE includes in its hazard mapping, which is built to remain steady for the next 10+ years.

PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES SOBRE:
Zonas de gravedad de peligro de incendios 2024
Zonas de gravedad de peligro de incendios explicadas
• ¿Qué es una “Zona de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios” o FHSZ, por sus siglas en ingles? o Respuesta: Código de Recursos Públicos 4202; El Jefe de Bomberos del Estado clasificará las tierras dentro de las áreas de responsabilidad del estado en zonas de gravedad de peligro de incendios. Cada zona abarcará terrenos relativamente homogéneos y se basará en las cargas de combustible, la pendiente, el clima de incendios y otros factores relevantes presentes, incluyendo las áreas donde el departamento ha identificado los vientos como una de las principales causas de propagación de incendios forestales. Código de Gobierno 51178; El Jefe de Bomberos del Estado identificará áreas en el estado como zonas de gravedad de peligro de incendios moderados, altos y muy altos en función de criterios consistentes en todo el estado y en función de gravedad del peligro de incendios que se espera que prevalezcan en esas áreas. Las zonas de gravedad de peligro de incendios moderados, altos y muy altos se basarán en las cargas de combustible, la pendiente, el clima de incendios y otros factores relevantes, incluyendo las áreas donde la Oficina del Jefe de Bomberos del Estado ha identificado los vientos como una de las principales causas de propagación de incendios forestales. • ¿Por qué se están actualizando los Mapas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios? o Respuesta: Los mapas de peligro se están actualizando para reflejar con mayor precisión las zonas en California que son susceptibles a incendios forestales. El proceso de mapeo de peligros incorporará nueva ciencia en los datos climáticos locales y mejores modelos de evaluación de incendios para determinar las clasificaciones de los peligros. • ¿Qué miden las Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios? o Respuesta: El Mapa de Zona de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios evalúa "peligro", no "riesgo". El mapa es como los mapas de zonas de inundación, donde las tierras se describen en términos del nivel de probabilidad de que un área en particular sea inundada por las aguas de la inundación, y no prescribe específicamente los impactos. “Peligro” se basa en las condiciones físicas que crean una probabilidad y un comportamiento de incendio esperado durante un período de 30 a 50 años sin considerar medidas de mitigación como el fortalecimiento de propiedades, incendios forestales recientes o esfuerzos para reducir combustibles. “Riesgo” es el daño potencial que un incendio puede causar en el área bajo condiciones existentes, teniendo en cuenta cualquier modificación, como proyectos de reducción de combustibles, espacio defendible y construcción de edificios resistentes a la ignición.
• ¿Dónde aplican las Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios? o Respuesta: Las Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios se encuentran en áreas donde el estado tiene la responsabilidad financiera de la protección y prevención de incendios forestales, nombradas Área de Responsabilidad del Estado. Más de 31 millones de acres se encuentran en esta área. Bajo el Proyecto de Ley del Senado 63 (Stern, 2021), el Código de Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
CAL FIRE – 18 de diciembre de 2024
2024 FAQ Page 2
Gobierno 51178 fue enmendado para agregar las Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios Moderado y Alto con la de Muy Alto en las jurisdicciones locales.
• ¿Cuáles son los usos de las Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios? o Respuesta: Las zonas se utilizan para varios propósitos, incluyendo para designar áreas donde se requieren los estándares de espacio defendible de California y los códigos de construcción de interfaz urbano-forestal. Pueden ser un factor en la divulgación de bienes raíces, y los gobiernos locales pueden considerarlos en su plan general.
• ¿Existe una manera fácil de determinar la Zona de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios de mi propiedad?
o Respuesta: Puede buscar por dirección para encontrar su designación actual por la web en:
osfm.fire.ca.gov/FHSZ
• ¿Cuáles son los elementos clave del modelo de la Zona de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios? o Respuesta: El modelo de gravedad del peligro de incendios forestales tiene dos elementos clave: la probabilidad de que un área se queme y el comportamiento esperado del fuego bajo condiciones climáticas y de combustible extremas. Las zonas reflejan áreas que tienen probabilidades y características de comportamiento del fuego similares. Los factores considerados para determinar el riesgo de incendio dentro de las áreas silvestres son el historial de incendios, la longitud de las llamas, el terreno, el clima local y el combustible potencial durante un período de 50 años. Fuera de las tierras silvestres, el modelo considera factores que podrían hacer que los edificios se vean amenazados, incluyendo el terreno, el clima, la vegetación urbana, las brasas, la proximidad a tierras silvestres, el historial de incendios y el peligro de incendios en las tierras silvestres cercanas. Las zonas FHSZ no son un modelo para pérdidas estructurales, ya que no se incluye información clave sobre la ignición de estructuras (como el tipo de techos, etc.).
• ¿Cómo son diferentes los mapas de Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios a los Mapas de Distrito de Alta Amenaza de Incendios de la Comisión de Servicios Públicos de California (CPUC por sus siglas en ingles)?
o Respuesta: El mapa patrocinado por la Comisión de Servicios Públicos de California (CPUC por sus siglas en ingles), conocido como "Mapa de Alta Amenaza de Incendios del Distrito de la CPUC" (HFTD por sus siglas en ingles), incluye factores parecidos como los de los mapas FHSZ, sin embargo, el mapa HFTD de la CPUC esta diseñado específicamente para identificar áreas donde existe un mayor riesgo de incendios forestales relacionados con los servicios públicos. Como tal, el mapa de la CPUC incluye peligros de incendio asociados con incendios forestales históricos causados por líneas eléctricas, condiciones actuales del combustible y áreas de puntuación según el lugar donde comienzan los incendios, a diferencia de donde los incendios potenciales pueden causar impactos.
• ¿Por qué mi propiedad está en una zona diferente al área adyacente, que se ve similar? o Respuesta: En áreas no silvestres, los bordes de las zonas ocurren según la distancia al borde del área silvestre. Debido a que el peligro en estas áreas está determinado en gran medida por las brasas que caen de las áreas silvestres adyacentes, las áreas urbanas que son similares en tipo de vegetación y densidad de viviendas pueden tener un cambio en la clase de zona FHSZ a medida que aumenta la distancia al borde de las áreas silvestres. Las áreas inmediatamente adyacentes a las áreas silvestres reciben el mismo puntaje FHSZ que Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
CAL FIRE – 18 de diciembre de 2024
2024 FAQ Page 3
las áreas silvestres donde se origina el fuego, y el modelo produce puntajes más bajos a medida que aumenta la distancia al borde de las áreas silvestres.
En las áreas silvestres, los bordes de las zonas son el resultado de la forma en que se delimitan las zonas. Específicamente, las zonas representan áreas de similar pendiente y potencial de combustible. Los límites de zona dividen las zonas basado en las características geográficas y de vegetación que se alinean con el potencial de riesgo de incendio; aunque, a escala local, puede parecer que el área inmediata es similar a ambos lados del borde. El valor de clase dentro de una zona se basa en la puntuación de peligro promedio en toda la zona, por lo que las áreas que están en la misma zona, pero no inmediatamente adyacentes a un área local pueden influir en la clasificación final de la zona.
Preguntas relacionadas a los datos
• ¿Cómo se determinan las Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios? o Respuesta: CAL FIRE usó la mejor ciencia y datos disponibles para desarrollar y probar en el campo un modelo que sirvió como base para las asignaciones de zonas. El modelo evaluó la probabilidad de que un área se queme y el comportamiento potencial del fuego en el área. Se incluyeron muchos factores, como el historial de incendios, la vegetación, la longitud de las llamas, las brasas, la proximidad a tierras silvestres, el terreno y el clima.
• ¿Qué datos nuevos se incluirán en el nuevo modelo y en qué se diferencian del modelo anterior?
o Respuesta: Una cuadrícula de 2 km de datos climáticos que cubre los años 2003-2018 esta siendo utilizada para la actualización. El modelo previo utilizó datos meteorológicos comunes en todo el estado para calcular las puntuaciones de intensidad de los incendios forestales. El modelo actualizado ajustará los puntajes de intensidad del fuego basado en el clima de fuego más extremo en un lugar determinado, considerando la temperatura, humedad y velocidad del viento. Además, la propagación de brasas se modela basado en las distribuciones locales de los valores de dirección y velocidad del viento observados, en lugar de utilizar una distancia de separación genérica para áreas urbanas adyacentes a áreas silvestres.
• ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre las diferentes Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios? o Respuesta: La clasificación de una zona silvestre como peligro de incendio Moderado, Alto o Muy Alto se basa en el peligro promedio en el área incluida en la zona, que tiene un tamaño mínimo de 200 acres. En áreas silvestres, el peligro es una función de la longitud de las llamas modelada en las peores condiciones y la probabilidad de incendio anual.
Ambos de estos factores generalmente aumentan con el incremento del nivel de peligro, pero puede haber casos en los que un valor sea Muy Alto y el otro sea bajo, impulsando el peligro general a una clasificación más intermedia. En promedio, tanto la longitud de las llamas modelada y la probabilidad de incendios aumentan aproximadamente entre 40% y 60% entre las clases de peligro. La clasificación fuera de áreas silvestres se basa en el peligro de incendio de las áreas silvestres adyacentes y la probabilidad de que las llamas y las brasas amenacen edificios cercanos.
• ¿Por qué el modelo pone énfasis en la propagación de las brasas? Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
CAL FIRE – 18 de diciembre de 2024
2024 FAQ Page 4
o Respuesta: Las brasas propagan incendios forestales porque pueden viajar largas distancias con el viento y encender la vegetación, los techos, los áticos (al entrar por las rejillas de ventilación) y las terrazas.
Preguntas sobre áreas reguladas por el estado
• ¿Cuándo fueron los mapas actualizados por última vez? o Respuesta: La Oficina del Marshal de Incendios del Estado comenzó el proceso regulatorio para el Área de Responsabilidad Estatal (SRA por sus siglas en ingles) en diciembre de 2022, los mapas finales fueron adoptados el 31 de enero de 2024 y entraron en vigor el 1 de abril de 2024.
• ¿Qué es el "Área de Responsabilidad del Estado" o SRA (por sus siglas en ingles)? o Respuesta: SRA es un término legal que define el área donde el estado tiene responsabilidad financiera para la protección y prevención de incendios forestales. Las ciudades incorporadas y la propiedad federal no están incluidas. Dentro de la SRA, CAL FIRE es responsable de la prevención y extinción de incendios. Hay más de 31 millones de acres dentro de SRA, con un estimado de 1.7 millones de personas y 800,000 viviendas existentes.
• ¿Cómo se determina el Área de Responsabilidad del Estado? o Respuesta: La Junta de Bosques y Protección Contra Incendios (Junta) clasifica tierras como Área de Responsabilidad del Estado. La definición legal de SRA se encuentra en la Sección del Código de Recursos Públicos 4125. La Junta ha desarrollado procedimientos detallados para clasificar tierras como Área de Responsabilidad del Estado. Las tierras se eliminan de la SRA cuando se incorporan a una ciudad, cambian de propiedad al gobierno federal, se vuelven más densamente pobladas o se convierten en tierras agrícolas intensivas lo que minimiza el riesgo de incendios forestales. Si bien algunas tierras se eliminan automáticamente de la SRA, la Junta generalmente revisa los cambios cada cinco años.
• ¿Cuales Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios se encuentran en el Área de Responsabilidad del Estado?
o Respuesta: Toda el Área de Responsabilidad del Estado se encuentra en una Zona de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios. Los terrenos se clasifican como Zonas de Gravedad de Riesgo de Incendios de nivel Moderado, Alto o Muy Alto.
• ¿Cuales son los códigos de construcción de la interfaz urbano-forestal (WUI por sus siglas en ingles) en las Áreas de Responsabilidad del Estado?
o Respuesta: Los códigos de construcción de WUI (Código de Construcción de California (CBC) Capítulo 7A) reducen el riesgo de que las brasas avivadas por incendios forestales propagados por el viento enciendan edificios. Los códigos para techos, revestimientos, terrazas, ventanas y ventiladores se aplican en todas las áreas de responsabilidad del estado, independientemente de la clasificación de gravedad de peligro de incendios. Los materiales de construcción resistentes a las brasas se pueden encontrar en:

Al ser adoptado formalmente el mapa FHSZ, el archivo final de datos geoespaciales SRA FHSZ será disponible. El paquete de datos esta disponible en la pagina web de FHSZ Fire Hazard Severity Zones (ca.gov) bajo la pestaña de ciencias y métodos.
• ¿Por qué tienen una clasificación de Zona de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios los cuerpos de agua?
o Respuesta: Todas las áreas en el Área de Responsabilidad Estatal, incluyendo los cuerpos de agua, requieren una designación de zona de severidad de peligro de incendio. En el modelo 2023 de ZSPCI, la Oficina del Marshal de Incendios del Estado añadió un buffer de ZSPCI desde los terrenos silvestres circundantes hacia los cuerpos de agua para tener en cuenta la amenaza potencial de brasas a edificios en muelles y casas flotantes, así como la variación en la altura de los embalses que ocurre con la sequía. •
Preguntas sobre áreas reguladas localmente
• ¿Cuál es el “Área de Responsabilidad Local” o LRA (por sus siglas en ingles)? o Respuesta: Las Áreas de Responsabilidad Local (LRA) son ciudades incorporadas, regiones urbanas, tierras agrícolas y partes del desierto donde el gobierno local es responsable de la protección contra incendios. Estos servicios generalmente son proporcionados por los departamentos de bomberos de la ciudad, los distritos de protección contra incendios, los condados o bajo contrato con CAL FIRE.
• ¿Cuál es el “Cuándo comenzaron las Zonas de Severidad de Riesgo de Incendio en el Área de Responsabilidad Local?”
o Respuesta: El “Proyecto de Ley Bates” (AB 337), Sección del Código de Gobierno 51175, fue generada posteriormente al devastador incendio de Oakland Hills de 1991. Esta legislación creada a mediados de la década de 1990 exige que CAL FIRE evalúe la gravedad del peligro de incendios en el área de responsabilidad local y haga una recomendación a la jurisdicción local donde existen peligros FHSZ muy altos. Luego, el Código de Gobierno proporciona instrucciones para que la jurisdicción local tome las medidas apropiadas.
• ¿Cómo se determinan las Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios en las áreas de responsabilidad locales?
o Respuesta: CAL FIRE utiliza una extensión del modelo de Zona de Gravedad de Riesgo de Incendios del área de responsabilidad estatal como base para evaluar el riesgo de incendios en el Área de Responsabilidad Local. La clasificación de riesgo del área de responsabilidad local refleja la intrusión de llamas y brasas de áreas silvestres adyacentes y de vegetación inflamable en el área urbana.

• ¿Cuáles son los requisitos para los propietarios en las zonas FHSZ en áreas de responsabilidad locales? GC51189 o Respuesta:
o Los códigos de construcción WUI de California (CBC Capítulo 7A) aplicar al diseño y construcción de nuevos edificios ubicados en zonas ZFHS Altas y Muy Altas en Áreas de Responsabilidad Local. Las ordenanzas locales podrían requerir una construcción resistente a la ignición para proyectos de remodelación. Consulte con su departamento de construcción local para determinar cuales códigos de construcción resistentes a la ignición aplican a su proyecto. Además, la Sección 51182 del Código de Gobierno exige la limpieza de espacios defendibles y otras prácticas de seguridad contra incendios forestales para propiedades. También se requiere que los propietarios divulguen los peligros naturales como parte de una transferencia de bienes raíces. Para obtener información sobre el "reforzamiento de casas" y la limpieza de espacios defendibles, visite www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
• ¿La designación de Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios Muy Alto en el Área de Responsabilidad Local activa el requisito de espacio libre de 100 pies? o Respuesta: Sí, según el Código de Gobierno 51182 a menos que un gobierno local haya aprobado un requisito más estricto, se aplica el requisito de espacio libre defendible de 100 pies. Para obtener información sobre el "reforzamiento de casas" y el requisito del espacio defendible, visite www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
• ¿Cómo ayuda CAL FIRE a los gobiernos locales en Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios? o Respuesta: El Programa de Planificación del Uso de Tierras de CAL FIRE es una unidad especializada que proporciona apoyo a los gobiernos locales brindando experiencia en seguridad contra incendios en los códigos de construcción de la interfaz urbana forestal del Estado, códigos de seguridad contra incendios, así como ayudar en el desarrollo de los elementos de seguridad en los planes generales.
• ¿Cuál es el proceso para desarrollar Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios en el Área de Responsabilidad Local?
o Respuesta: CAL FIRE usa los mismos datos del modelo que se usa para los mapas del Área de Responsabilidad del Estado. Después, el mapa, junto con una ordenanza modelo, se envían a la organización rector para su adopción.
• ¿Cómo están impactando el desarrollo las nuevas Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios? o Respuesta: Muchos de los cambios que expanden las zonas de gravedad del peligro de incendios en las áreas de responsabilidad local (LRA) han sido apoyados por la industria de la construcción. CAL FIRE trabaja en colaboración con la industria de la construcción al establecer varios códigos de construcción y requisitos de espacio defendible, por lo que estamos trabajando juntos para no afectar el desarrollo en sí, sino para asegurarnos de que el desarrollo coincida con los peligros de esa área.
• ¿Cuándo se publicará el Mapa del Área de Responsabilidad Local? o Respuesta: El proceso del mapa del área de responsabilidad local se llevará a cabo después de que se haya completado el proceso del área de responsabilidad estatal, que se estima que ocurrirá en el invierno de 2025.
• ¿Por qué no se han clasificado antes las clases de Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios moderados y altos en el Área de Responsabilidad Local?

CAL FIRE – 18 de diciembre de 2024
2024 FAQ Page 7
o Respuesta: Una nueva legislación, el Proyecto de Ley del Senado 63 (Stern, 2021), ahora requiere adoptar de las tres clases de Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendio en el Área de Responsabilidad Local. Anteriormente, solo se requerían zonas de gravedad de peligro de incendio muy alto para su adopción en el Área de Responsabilidad Local.
Preguntas relacionadas a los seguros
• ¿Afectarán las nuevas Zonas de Gravedad de Peligro de Incendios mi capacidad de obtener o mantener un seguro?
o Respuesta: Las compañías de seguros utilizan modelos de riesgos, que son diferentes a los modelos de peligros, porque consideran la susceptibilidad de una estructura al daño por incendio y otros factores a corto plazo que no están incluidos en los modelos de peligros.
Es poco probable que los modelos de riesgo de seguros señalen específicamente las zonas de gravedad de peligro de incendios de CAL FIRE como un factor , pero es probable que muchos de los mismos datos que se utilizan en el modelo de zona de gravedad de peligro de incendios se incluyan en los modelos de riesgos de las compañías de seguros. Sin embargo, los modelos de riesgos de seguros incorporan muchos factores adicionales y factores que cambian con más frecuencia que los que CAL FIRE incluye en sus mapas de peligros, que están diseñados para permanecer estables durante los próximos 10 años o más.

BACKGROUND
In
accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the Act) of the California Constitution the City Council may conduct proceedings to annex territory into an assessment district formed under the Act and to levy assessments within such territory.
In connection with the incorporation of the City of Jurupa Valley in 2011, the Local Agency
RETURN TO AGENDA
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Page | 2
Formation Commission of Riverside County (LAFCO) adopted its Resolution No. 12- 10 on July 22, 2010, which transferred the authority and responsibility for special assessment districts within the incorporated City to the City of Jurupa Valley. Thereafter, City Council adopted Resolution No. 11-26 on July 1, 2011, by which the City assumes all authority and responsibility for the special assessment districts. The County’s Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 89-1- Consolidated (the “County District”), established pursuant to the provisions of the Act , includes various territories located both within the incorporated boundaries of the City (the “City Territory”) and outside the incorporated boundaries of the City (the “County Territory”). Pursuant to its Resolution No. 2016- 01 adopted on February 4, 2016, the City declared that the City Territory is a district under the 1972 Act, which is separate and distinct from the County Territory, and designated such territory as the “Jurupa Valley Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 89- 1-Consolidated” (the “District”).
The recommended action adopts a resolution to annex a territory to the District and to levy and collect assessments. The territory, Zone QQ (WEST COAST SELF STORAGE) (“ZONE QQ”), includes one (1) parcel identified as APN 163- 400-047, generally located
at the northwest corner of Clay Street and General Road. A map is on file in the office of the City Clerk and is open to public inspection.
ANALYSIS
The property owners posted a deposit with their applications to form Zone QQ and are responsible for the annual payments of the special assessment. Approval of this resolution does not in any way commit the City to any financial contribution or liability for Zone QQ. The City’s cost to administer Zone QQ annually will be reimbursed through the special assessment charged to property owners. The base year, Fiscal Year (FY) 2025- 26, maximum assessment for landscape maintenance and street lighting is $6,012.73 to be divided by the number of Equivalent Benefit Units of each parcel within the zone boundary. The assessment is subject to escalation beginning in FY 2026-27 to account for reasonable increase cost for maintenance and inflation. Beginning in FY 2026-27, the maximum assessment may be increased annually by the greater of four percent (4%) or the cumulative percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).
The process to annex Zone QQ and to levy and collect assessments began on May 1, 2025 when the City Council adopted the following resolutions:
1. Resolution No. 2025-41: Initiating proceedings for the annexation of territory to the District as ZONE QQ and the levy and collection of assessments within such territory.
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Page | 3
2. Resolution No. 2025-42: Approving the engineer’s report regarding the annexation of territory to the District as ZONE QQ and to levy and collect assessments within such territory.
3. Resolution No. 2025-43: Declaring the intention to annex territory to the District and to levy and collect assessments within such territory for FY 2025-26 and set June 5 th, 2025 as the public hearing date for protests to the levy of annual assessments and the annexation.
Subsequent to the May 1 st, 2025 meeting, notice was mailed to the owners of the properties within ZONE QQ, along with an assessment ballot to indicate support for, or opposition to, the proposed annexation. The notice indicated the amount of the proposed assessment for their respective parcels and the date, time and place of the public hearing.
At the public hearing, the City Council must hear and consider all oral and written statements, protests, objections or other communications made or filed with respect to the annexation and annual assessments. The assessment ballots must be tabulated and the ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property. Upon tabulation of the assessment ballots at the public hearing:
1. A majority protest exists if ballots submitted in opposition to the annexation and assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the annexation and assessment.
2. In the absence of a majority protest, the City Council may adopt a resolution ordering the annexation and levy and collection of assessments within the territory.
If adopted, the City will file the special assessment with the County Auditor-Controller for collection via the annual property tax bills.
OTHER INFORMATION
City Council initiated proceedings for the annexation on May 1 st, 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The revenue from this special assessment will be deposited into a Special Fund and will be used to pay for the services provided in ZONE QQ . The total annual cost for maintenance associated with this zone is $7,024.13. Of this amount, $6,012.73 is attributed as a special benefit to the development and will be assessed accordingly. The remaining general benefit portion will be funded by the City’s General Fund. Both the revenue and expenses will be part of the City’s FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget.

10 PART III – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. Method of Apportionment
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, which include dedicated easements for landscape use, and appurtenant facilities. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act gives the following instructions for apportioning assessments to the parcels within the district:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments for parcels within Zone QQ, which reflects the composition of the parcels and the improvements and services which are the responsibility of Zone QQ, fairly apportions the costs based on the estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, Article XIII D of the California Constitution (“Article XIIID”) requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. The Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. A special benefit is a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on the public at large, including real property within the Zone. The general enhancement of property value does not constitute a special benefit.
This section of the Engineer’s Report includes an explanation of the special and general benefits to be derived from the public improvements maintained by the Zone and the methodology used to apportion the total assessment to properties within the Zone. The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the proportional special benefits conferred to the properties over and above the general benefits conferred to real property in the Zone or to the public at large. Special benefit and the Assessments are calculated for each parcel in the Zone using the following process:
1. Description and quantification of the general benefits
2. Determination of the relative special benefits by improvement type
3. Determination of the Benefit Factors by Land Use Type
4. Description and calculation of Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) Methodology
5. Description and calculation of Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) Methodology

Engineer’s Report
JV L&LMD No. 89-1-C
Zone QQ (West Coast Self Storage)
11 6. Calculation of assessment rates and calculation of assessments The proposed improvements, the associated costs, and assessments have been carefully reviewed, identified, and allocated based on special benefit.
Landscaping, trail and fencing maintenance are the responsibility of Zone QQ.
Separation of General Benefit and Special Benefit
Based on Article XIIID, Section 4 of the of the California Constitution, all benefit is either general or special.
In other words:
Total Benefit = Special Benefit + General Benefit
General Benefit = Benefits to Population of the Zone + Benefits to the Public At Large Special Benefit = Benefit to Parcels Inside the Zone + Benefit to Parcels Outside the Zone The identified improvements and services provide benefits to the parcels located within the Zone.
Some of these benefits are “special benefits,” benefits that are above and beyond those “general benefits” provided to the public at large. Under Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution, only “special benefits” provided to the parcels within the Zone are assessable. Special Benefits provided to parcels outside the Zone are not assessable. General benefit to the population of the Zone and the public at large are not assessable. As such, isolation and quantification of the “special benefits” provide to parcels within the Zone associated with the improvements and services are paramount. In order to isolate the “Special Benefits,” it is necessary to quantify the amount of “General Benefits” associated with the improvements and services. Additionally, we will also identify the Special Benefit to any parcels outside the Zone that must be excluded from the assessment of Zone parcels.
Special benefits impact the assessed properties in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels not within the Zone and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. The improvements were installed as a condition of development for the West Coast Self Storage and would not have been installed otherwise. Since these improvements were installed and are maintained especially for the benefit of properties within the Zone, all assessable properties in the Zone receive a special benefit and are assessed for the special benefits conferred by the improvements.

12 General Benefit – Landscaping
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific landscaped areas and improvements to be funded by Zone QQ assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, it is evident these improvements were primarily installed in connection with the development of the property and are required for development of the property. Furthermore, this level of maintenance is beyond that which is required to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general, and such maintenance has no quantifiable benefit to the public at large or properties outside of the Zone.
In the absence of a special funding district, the City would typically provide only limited landscape management, minimal weed and debris abatement, as-needed rodent control and erosion control services for the various landscape easement areas. This baseline level of service would typically provide for periodic servicing of the improvement areas (generally twice annually) or on an as needed basis. This baseline level of service provides for general public safety and essential property protection to avoid negative impacts on adjacent roadways and vehicles traveling on those roadways and potential property damage resulting from right of way deterioration but results in a far less visually pleasing environment than is created with the enhanced levels of services associated with the regular landscape maintenance that will be provided in the Zone.
Based on service provider cost estimates provided by the City, the cost to provide the baseline level of service for right of way landscaped areas, before development, is currently estimated to be approximately $0.03094 per square foot in right-of-way landscaped areas.
This baseline servicing, unlike the enhanced aesthetic services funded through the Zone assessments, would provide benefits to the general public. The cost of providing these baseline services along with an eight and a half percent (8.5%) cost factor for City overhead and administration is treated as the cost of general benefits from landscape maintenance services. Therefore, a total rate of $0.03094 per square foot ($0.02852 + 8.5%) is applied to calculate the general benefit costs for the assessed landscape improvements.

13 Any share of the benefits received from an improvement that does not provide a special benefit to the assessed properties is considered to be a general benefit provided by the improvements. The cost of such general benefit is not to be assessed to the properties in the Zone, but instead is contributed by the city from the City’s General Fund or other financial sources and not funded by assessments.
The benefits provided by the installed landscaping improvements which provide general benefits are as follows:
Environmental quality through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control. Quality of life through well-maintained landscaped areas which create a welcoming environment for employees and customers.
General Benefit – Trail Maintenance and Fencing
The Zone QQ improvements in the City right-of-way includes the decomposed granite trail on Clay St and a 2-rail vinyl fence aligning both sides of the trail. Trail systems and related fencing can be categorized as a general benefit if it improves public safety or aesthetics for the entire community, not just the individual property owners within the assessment Zone. The trail is connected to a large Citywide trail system. Additionally, the interconnected trail provides positive impacts on local economies and community engagement by providing access to West Coast Self Storage as well as other parts of the City. The trail fencing clearly separates and delineates the trail route. The trail also provides opportunities for exercise for the customers traveling to the West Coast Self Storage as well as the public at large as they use the trail to travel to other locations in the City. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that 50% of the trail maintenance and fencing, associated costs to service, maintain and provide for future capital replacement of the trail maintenance and fencing would be considered a general benefit.

15 Special Benefits by Improvement Type:
Special Benefit – Landscaping
The landscape improvements which will be installed as part of the approved development within Zone QQ provide direct and special benefit to the parcel within the Zone. Therefore, the maintenance of these improvements also provides direct and special benefit to the parcel by maintaining the functionality of the improvements and allowing the improvements to operate in a proper manner.
The parcel in the Zone receives a particular and distinct benefit from the improvements over and above general benefits conferred by the improvements. First, the improvements were conditions of approval for the creation or development of the parcels. In order to create or develop the parcels, the City required the developer to install landscape improvements and to guarantee the maintenance of the landscape improvements and appurtenant facilities serving these lots or parcels. The parcel within the Zone could not have been developed in the absence of the installation and expected maintenance of these improvements and appurtenant facilities.
In addition, the improvements continue to confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon the parcel within Zone QQ because of the nature of the improvements. The proper maintenance of landscape, and appurtenant improvements specially benefits owners of the parcel within Zone QQ by attenuating noise from adjacent streets and controlling dust for those properties in close proximity to the landscaping. Spraying and treating landscaping for disease reduces the likelihood of insect infestation and spread of other diseases to landscaping throughout the parcel in the Zone. The proper maintenance of the landscaping, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities screen the property visual barriers, provide shade and enhance the outdoor environment and the desirability of commercial spaces. Additionally, the proper maintenance of landscaping and appurtenant structures improves the attractiveness of the parcel within the Zone. This provides a positive visual experience each and every time a trip is made to or from the parcel in the Zone. Finally, environmental quality is preserved through erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention as a result of the installation of the improvements to be maintained by the Zone.
Government-owned parcels or easements, utility easements, and flood channel parcels do not benefit from the improvements due to their type of use and lack of human habitation on such parcels. Parcels of this nature are usually vacant narrow strips of land or flood control channels and therefore do not generate or experience pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Nor do these types of parcels support dwelling units or other structures that would promote frequent use by the traveling public. As a result of this lack of activity on such parcels, they do not receive any benefit from landscaping improvements and are not assessed.

16 Special Benefit – Trail Maintenance and Fencing
The parcel in the Zone receives a particular and distinct benefit from the improvements over and above general benefits conferred by the improvements. The improvements were conditions of approval for the creation or development of the parcels. In order to create or develop the parcel, the City required the developer to install the trail landscape improvements and fencing and to guarantee the maintenance of the trail landscape improvements, fencing and appurtenant facilities serving these parcels. Therefore, the parcel within the Zone could not have been developed in the absence of the installation and expected maintenance of these improvements and appurtenant facilities.
Benefit Factors
The special benefits will be applied by improvement and land use types through the application of a Applied Benefit Factor (“Benefit Factor). The Benefit Factor will be multiplied by the Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs), described later in the report, to derive the Equivalent Benefit Units (EBUs) described later in the report. The EBUs proportionately spread the assessments based on the special benefits received.
Benefit Factors quantify the relative amount of benefit a parcel receives from an improvement. The following paragraphs describe each Benefit Factor by land use.
Benefit Factors - Landscaping
All parcels in Zone QQ are uniformly Non-Residential (Light Industrial) and all parcels receive the same amount of benefit from the maintenance of the landscaping improvements. Therefore, the Benefit Factor to be applied to all Non-Residential parcels = 1.0.
Benefit Factors – Trail & Fencing
All parcels in Zone QQ are uniformly Non-Residential (Light Industrial). Therefore, each parcel receives the same benefits from the trail and trail fencing; (1) Providing foot traffic access to all parcels in the development equally and (2) The trail and fencing is a condition of development that applies to all parcels in the development equally. Therefore, the Benefit Factor for trails and fencing to be applied to all Non-Residential parcels = 1.0.
Equivalent Dwelling Units
A methodology, which takes into consideration the impact of land use and parcel size, has been developed and applied to Zone QQ. This methodology, called Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs), calculates the EDUs for each parcel where every land use is converted to EDUs based on the assessment formula appropriate for the City. Single Family Residential, which includes Condominiums, is defined as the basic unit for calculation of assessments and assigned 1 EDU per parcel. Multi-Family Residential (Apartments and Mobile Home Parks) are converted to EDUs based on the number of dwelling units on each parcel. Commercial/Industrial, Parks, and certain Public Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Engineer’s Report
JV L&LMD No. 89-1-C
Zone QQ (West Coast Self Storage)
17 Property, such as Schools, are converted to EDUs based on the lot size of each parcel of land. Vacant Property and Public Property are converted to EDUs based on actual Use using the equivalent Land Use Category EDU factor. Property Owner Association and Exempt parcels are assigned zero EDUs.
The EDU method is seen as the most appropriate and equitable for landscape and streetlight maintenance districts, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land use type and parcel size.
Parcel Classification
Residential:
Residential: Residential means a parcel for which a building permit has been issued permitting construction of one or more Residential dwelling units. Residential parcels shall be further classified as Single Family Residential, Condominium, Multi-Family Residential and Mobile Homes. Single Family Residential (SFR): SFR means all parcels of residential property, other than Multi-Family Residential Property. The SFR parcel is the basic unit for calculation of the benefit assessments. Parcels designated as SFR land use will be assigned 1 EDU per dwelling unit, including vacant subdivided residential lots.
Condominium: Condominium means all parcels of developed property within a residential building or buildings comprised of dwelling units with each unit having individual ownership and assigned an individual assessor parcel number. Condominiums will be treated the same as SFR units. Therefore, parcels designated as Condominium land use will be assigned 1 EDU per dwelling unit.
Multi-Family Residential (Apartments): Multi-Family Residential (Apartments) means all parcels of property that consist of a residential building or buildings comprised of attached dwelling units available for rental by the general public, not for sale to an end user, and under common management.
Mobile Home Parks: Mobile Home Parks means all parcels of land with manufactured homes, all under common management.
The lower average population density and reduced average unit size of apartments and mobile homes compared to the typical population density and size of a SFR results in a lesser benefit per unit from landscaping and streetlight improvements maintenance and services. Multi-Family residence water consumption is approximately 80% of a typical single family residence. Therefore, we can conclude that the average apartment unit impacts infrastructure approximately 80% as much as a single family residence. Mobile Home Park residence water consumption is approximately 50% of a typical single family residence. Therefore, we can conclude that the average mobile home impacts infrastructure approximately 50% as much as a single family residence.
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Engineer’s Report
JV L&LMD No. 89-1-C
Zone QQ (West Coast Self Storage)
18 Therefore, the EDUs assigned to a Multi-Family Residential or a Mobile Home Park parcel are calculated based on the number of dwelling units and the appropriate Equivalent Dwelling Factor (as shown in Table 1). Specifically, the Equivalent Dwelling Unit Factor for multi-residential (0.8) is multiplied by the number of dwelling units on the parcel to determine the total EDUs for the multi- unit residential parcel. Similarly, the total EDUs for a mobile home park parcel are calculated by multiplying the Equivalent Dwelling Unit Factor (0.5) by the number of mobile home units on the parcel.
Non-Residential:
Non-Residential: Non-Residential means a parcel for which a building permit has been issued permitting construction of one or more Non-Residential structures. Non-Residential parcels shall be further classified as Commercial/Industrial: Commercial/Industrial means non-residential parcels that are not Exempt, Public Property, Property Owners Association Property, or Vacant, and are used for retail, professional, medical, restaurant, government, institutional, financial, lodging, or other commercial/industrial related uses. These parcels are assigned EDUs based on acreage. In converting Commercial/Industrial properties to EDUs, the factor used is the City of Jurupa Valley average single family residential density of 2.64 dwelling units per acre (as derived from the Riverside County Assessor Roll, as of January 1, 2024, the total number of SFR units in the City divided by the entire SFR area (acres) of the City)(22,799 SFR units / 8,640.18 acres = 2.64 dwelling units/acre).
Therefore, the Commercial/Industrial parcels, including institutional uses, will be assigned 2.64 EDUs per acre.
Special Benefiting Public Property and Other Property:
Public Property: Public property means all parcels which are (i) used for rights-of-way or any other purpose and are owned by, dedicated to, or irrevocably offered for dedication to the federal government, the state, the county, City or any other public agency, provided however, that any property leased by a public agency to a private entity and subject to assessment shall be assessed and classified according to its use; or (ii) encumbered by an unmanned utility easement making impractical its utilization for other than the purpose set forth in the easement. Public Property that receives special benefit shall be assessed based on the use of the land consistent with the land use categories listed in this section. Parks: Parks will be assessed on parcel frontage which is the approximate metric of the parcel typically benefiting from the Zone landscaping and streetlighting improvements. The typical frontage for a SFR is fifty (50) feet. Park parcels will be assessed 1 EDU for every fifty (50) feet of frontage.
Property Owners Association Property (POAP): Property Owners Association Property means all parcels which have been conveyed, dedicated to, or irrevocably offered for dedication to a property owner association, including any master or sub-association. The Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Engineer’s Report
JV L&LMD No. 89-1-C
Zone QQ (West Coast Self Storage)
19 ultimate benefactors of these parcels are the property owners themselves. Therefore, the costs of providing landscape improvements maintenance and services for POAP are included in the assessor’s parcels associated with that common area. Therefore, these parcels are defined as having a zero EDU factor and, therefore, zero EDUs to be assessed. Schools: Schools will be assessed as 2.64 EDUs per acre for the portions of the parcels with building improvements. Playground and athletic fields will not be assessed as they are treated like Property Owners Association Property with no development potential.
Exempt Property and Vacant Property:
Exempt: Exempt means any parcel dedicated as public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-way, public greenbelts, parkways and that portion of public property that is not developed or used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial and institutional activities.
Also defined as Exempt parcels are utility rights-of-way, common areas (such as in condominium complexes), landlocked parcels and small parcels vacated by the City as these parcels have little or no development potential and do not benefit from the improvements.
These parcels are defined as having a zero EDU factor and, therefore, zero EDUs to be assessed.
Vacant Property: Vacant Property means parcels with no improved structures. Vacant parcels adjacent to landscaping improvements do not benefit from Zone improvements. Therefore, Vacant parcels adjacent to landscaping improvements are defined as having a zero EDU factor and, therefore, zero EDUs to be assessed. Vacant parcels adjacent to streetlighting receive 25% of the benefit of a fully developed commercial parcels. Therefore, Vacant parcels adjacent to streetlighting improvements are defined as having .66 (2.64 X 25%) EDU factor and, therefore, .66 EDUs for every acre to be assessed. Vacant parcels with approved subdivision maps filed on them will be assessed at the rate appropriate to their future designated use.

Equivalent Benefit Units
Equivalent Dwelling Units quantify how much benefit a particular property or parcel receives relative to other properties in the assessment district. They allow for equitable cost distribution based on factors like property size, type, or usage, which influence the level of benefit from the improvement.
The EBU for each parcel is the product of the multiplication of the parcel’s Equivalent Dwelling Units times the Benefit Factor which equals the Equivalent Benefit Units for that parcel.

24 B. Annual Assessment
The Method of Apportionment of the Assessment is based upon the relative special benefit derived from the improvements and conferred upon the assessable real property within Zone QQ over and above general benefit conferred upon the assessable real property within Zone QQ or to the public at large. The assessment for each assessable parcel within Zone QQ is calculated as follows: Each parcel currently within the Zone will be placed into one of the designated categories by land use. Using the EDU factor for the applicable land use category in Table 1 above, multiply the EDU factor rate by the number of Basic Units for each parcel to determine the number of EDUs for that parcel. A Benefit Factor is then multiplied by the number of EDUs to calculate the Equivalent Benefit Units (EBUs).
Once the total costs and the total number of EBUs associated with all parcels within the Zone are determined, the total costs are divided by the total EBUs to determine an assessment rate for each EBU in the Zone.
Total Zone Costs ÷ Total Number of EBUs in Zone =
Zone Assessment Rate per EBU
Each individual parcel’s assessment will then be determined by multiplying the Zone assessment rate by the parcel’s total EBUs.
Zone Assessment Rate per EBU x Parcel’s Total EBUs =
Parcel’s Annual Assessment
The maximum assessment rate is subject to a cost-of-living increase as explained in the Maximum Assessment Methodology section below.
Summary
In summary, no property is assessed in excess of the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that property. The special benefit proportionate share of the costs and expenses for the provision of landscaping, trail maintenance and fencing and streetlighting, as well as costs and expenses for the maintenance of the landscaping, trail maintenance and fencing and streetlighting are apportioned on an EBU basis and assessed only for special and direct benefits.

JV L&LMD No. 89-1-C
Zone QQ (West Coast Self Storage)
25 C. Maximum Assessment Methodology
The purpose of establishing a Maximum Assessment formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustments to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which would add to the Zone costs and assessments.
The following are the Cost per EBU and Total Cost/Max Assessment by improvement Type summarized:
Table 9
Total Cost/Max Assessment Summary
The Maximum Assessment formula shall be applied to all assessable parcels of land within the Zone. For Zone QQ, the initial Maximum Assessment for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 shall be a total of $6,012.73 or $813.63 per EBU as detailed in Part III.
The initial Maximum Assessment is subject to an annual inflator starting in Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
The initial Maximum Assessment may be adjusted by the greater of four percent (4%) per year or the cumulative percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for (“CPI-U”) for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario California Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (“Index”) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. The annual CPI- U adjustment will be based on the cumulative increase, if any, in the Index as it stands in March of each year over the base Index of 2025.
The Maximum Assessment is adjusted annually and is calculated independent of the Zone QQ annual budget and proposed annual assessment. The annual assessment (rate per assessable parcel) applied in any fiscal year is not considered to be an increased assessment if less than or equal to the Maximum Improvement Cost per EBU EBUs

Engineer’s Report
JV L&LMD No. 89-1-C
Zone QQ (West Coast Self Storage)
26 Assessment amount for that fiscal year. In no case shall the annual assessment exceed the Maximum Assessment.
Although the Maximum Assessment will increase each year, the actual Zone QQ assessments may remain virtually unchanged. The Maximum Assessment adjustment is designed to establish a reasonable limit on Zone QQ assessments. The Maximum Assessment calculated each year does not require the annual assessment be raised to the adjusted maximum but can be less than maximum. If the budget and assessments for the fiscal year require an increase to an amount greater than the adjusted Maximum Assessment, it is considered an increased assessment.
To impose an increase greater than the annually adjusted maximum assessment, the City of Jurupa Valley must comply with the provisions of California Constitution Articles XIII C and XIII D, which require a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Through the balloting process, property owners must approve the proposed maximum assessment increase. If the proposed change is approved, then a new Maximum Assessment is established for Zone QQ. If the proposed change is not approved, the City may not levy an assessment greater than the annually adjusted Maximum Assessment previously established for Zone QQ.

Part IV – Assessment Diagram/Boundary Map
Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Zone QQ
The Assessment Diagram/Boundary Map for Zone QQ by this reference is incorporated and made a part of this Report. Only the parcels identified within the Zone QQ Assessment Diagram/Boundary Map are within said boundary.
If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor-Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel number (or numbers) will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor-Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel and/or new parcel number(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and the assessment rate as defined in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and the assessment rate rather than as a proportionate share of the original assessment.

Jurupa Valley in 2011, the Local Agency Formation Commission of Riverside County (LAFCO) adopted its Resolution No. 12- 10 on July 22, 2010, which transferred the authority and responsibility for special assessment districts within the incorporated City to the City of Jurupa Valley. Thereafter, City Council adopted Resolution No. 11- 26 on July 1, 2011, by which the City assumes all authority and responsibility for the special assessment districts. The County’s Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 89- 1-Consolidated (the “County District”), established pursuant to the provisions of the Act , includes various territories located both within the incorporated boundaries of the City (the “City Territory”) and outside the incorporated boundaries of the City (the “County Territory”). Pursuant to its Resolution No. 2016-01 adopted on February 4, 2016, the City declared that the City Territory is a district under the 1972 Act, which is separate and distinct from the County Territory, and designated such territory as the “Jurupa Vall ey Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 89-1-Consolidated” (the “District”).
The recommended action adopts a resolution to annex a territory to the District and to levy and collect assessment s. The territory, Zone 2-I, includes one (1) commercial property within one (1) assessable lot, located on the east side of Riverview Drive north of Mission Boulevard. A map is on file in the office of the City Clerk and is open to public inspection.
ANALYSIS
The property owners posted a deposit with their applications to form Zone 2-I and are responsible for the annual payments of the special assessment. Approval of this resolution does not in any way commit the City to any financial contribution or liability for Zone 2-I. The City’s cost to administer Zone 2- I annually will be reimbursed through the special assessment charged to property owners. The base year, Fiscal Year (FY) 2025- 26, maximum assessment for landscape maintenance and street lighting is $156.00 for each assessable property. The assessment is subject to escalation beginning in FY 2026- 27 to account for reasonable increase cost for maintenance and inflation. Beginning in FY 2026-27, the maximum assessment may be increased annually by the greater of two percent (2%) or the cumulative percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).
The process to annex Zone 2-I and to levy and collect assessments began on May 1, 2025 when the City Council adopted the following resolutions:
1. Resolution No. 2025-38: Initiating proceedings for the annexation of territory to the District as Zone 2-I and the levy and collection of assessments within such territory.
2. Resolution No. 2025-39: Approving the engineer’s report regarding the annexation of territory to the District as Zone 2- I and to levy and collect assessments within such territory.
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Page | 3
3. Resolution No. 2025-40: Declaring the intention to annex territory to the District and to levy and collect assessments within such territory for FY 2025-26 and set June 5 th, 2025 as the public hearing date for protests to the levy of annual assessments and the annexation.
Subsequent to the May 1 st, 2025 meeting , notice was mailed to the owners of the properties within Zone 2 -I, along with an assessment ballot to indicate support for, or opposition to, the proposed annexation. The notice indicated the amount of the proposed assessment for their respective parcels and the date, time and place of the public hearing.
At the public hearing, the City Council must hear and consider all oral and written statements, protests, objections or other communications made or filed with respect to the annexation and annual assessments. The assessment ballots must be tabulated and the ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property. Upon tabulation of the assessment ballots at the public hearing:
1. A majority protest exists if ballots submitted in opposition to the annexation and assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the annexation and assessment.
2. In the absence of a majority protest, the City Council may adopt a resolution ordering the annexation and levy and collection of assessments within the territory.
If adopted, the City will file the special assessment with the County Auditor-Controller for collection via the annual property tax bills.
OTHER INFORMATION
City Council initiated proceedings for the annexation on May 1 st, 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated impact to the General Fund. The revenue from this special assessment will be deposited into a Special Fund and will be used to pay for the services provided in Zone 2-I. Both the revenue and expenses will be part of the City’s fiscal year 2025-26 Adopted Budget.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025- __ ordering annexation of territory to the District and the levy and collect assessments within such territory for fiscal year 2025-26.

PART I – BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICT
LOCATION OF THE ASSESSMENT ZONE
ZONE 2-I shall consist of a benefit zone encompassing the properties within the commercial development located east side of Riverview Drive north of Mission Boulevard. The proposed improvements described in this Report are based on current development and improvement plans provided as of the date of this Report; streetlight plans prepared by Walden & Associates.
ZONE 2-I encompasses the property located at 3762 Riverview Drive commercial development, in the City of Jurupa Valley, in the County of Riverside, State of California. ZONE 2-I consists of all lots/units, parcels, and subdivisions of land located in the following development area:

PART II – IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES FOR CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY L&LMD NO. 89-1-C ZONE 2-I
The services to be funded by City of Jurupa Valley L&LMD No. 89 -1-C ZONE 2-I include the operating energy cost and maintenance of the streetlights (1) required for the commercial development designated as Action Plumbing Supply; 1 streetlight located along the east side of Riverview Drive right-of-way, north of Mission Boulevard . The proposed improvements, the associated costs, and assessments have been carefully reviewed, identified, and allocated based on special benefit. ZONE 2-I was reviewed and specific areas of special benefit within the District were identified, based on:
a. Level of Service
b. Improvement Types
c. Proximity to Improvement
d. Levels of Special Benefit from Zone (on Public versus Private) The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, which include the construction, maintenance, and servicing of public lights, landscaping, dedicated easements for landscape use, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further provides that assessments may be apportioned upon all assessable lot(s) or parcel(s) of land within an assessment district in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each lot or parcel f rom the improvements rather than by assessed value.
It was determined that the improvements identified by this report will directly benefit the parcels to be assessed within ZONE 2-I. The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that the assessments will be used for lighting improvements within the existing district as well as provide for annual maintenance of those improvements and the assessment revenues generated by the Zone will be used solely for such purpose.
STREET LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS
The assessment will provide for the operating energy cost of the streetlights servicing the commercial development, as shown in the Street Lighting Improvement Plan by Walden & Associates prepared for this development.
The benefits associated with streetlight improvements include:
1. Enhanced deterrence of crime such as vandalism and other criminal activities which would reduce damage to improvements or property.
2. Improved visibility to assist police in the protection of property.
3. Improved visibility for egress from and ingress to the property.
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025

PART III – FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
The formula used for calculating assessments reflects the composition of the parcels and the improvements and services provided by the Zone to fairly apportion the costs based on the estimated benefit to each parcel.
The streetlight improvements within ZONE 2-I provide direct and special benefit to the lot (s) or parcels within the Zone. Therefore, the maintenance of these improvements also provides direct and special benefit by maintaining the functionality of the improvements and allowing the improvements to operate in a proper manner.
Because all benefiting properties consist of a uniform , commercial, land use, it is determined that all parcels benefit equally from the improvements and the costs and expenses for the maintenance and servicing of streetlights are apportioned on a per parcel basis. At the time of this report, there is only one assessable parcel.
The total benefit from the works of improvement is a combination of the special benefits to the parcels within the Zone and the general benefits to the public at large and to adjacent property owners. A portion of the total maintenance costs for the street lights, if any, associated with general benefits will not be assessed to the parcels in the Zone, but will be paid from other City of Jurupa Valley funds.
No property is assessed in excess of the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that property. Additionally, because the benefiting parcels within the zone consist of a uniform land use, it is determined that each of the parcels within the Zone benefit equally form the improvements.
Therefore, the proportionate share of the costs and expenses for the provisions of streetlights, as well as costs and expenses for the maintenance of the streetlights apportioned equally on a per parcel basis.
MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The following methodology was adopted by City Council in Resolution No. 2016 -01 dated February 4, 2016. Such methodology has been maintained in preparation of this Report. The purpose of establishing a Maximum Assessment formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustments to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which would add to the ZONE 2-I costs and assessments.
The Maximum Assessment formula shall be applied to all assessable parcels of land within the Zone. For ZONE 2-I, the initial Maximum Assessment(s) for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 are as follows:
1. The initial Total Maximum Assessment established within ZONE 2-I (Action Plumbing Supply) shall be $156.00.
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
8 | P a g e
2. The initial Maximum Assessment per assessable parcel(s) established within ZONE 2-I, composed of 1 assessable lot is anticipated to be $156.00 per lot.
In compliance with California Constitution Article XIIID (Proposition 218), the assessment established for ZONE 2-I on this report, include an adjustment formula to account for reasonable increase in cost for maintenance and inflation. The initial Maximum Assessment shall be adjusted by the greater of two percent (2%) or the cumulative percentage increase in the CPI-U Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor for Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario.
The Maximum Assessment is adjusted annually and is calculated independent of ZONE 2-I’s annual budget and proposed annual assessment. The proposed annual assessment (rate per assessable parcel(s)) applied in any fiscal year is not considered to be an increased assessment if less than or equal to the Maximum Assessment amount. In no case shall the annual assessment exceed the Maximum Assessment.
Although the Maximum Assessment will increase each year, the actual ZONE 2-I assessments may remain virtually unchanged. The Maximum Assessment adjustment is designed to establish reasonable limits on ZONE 2-I assessments. The Maximum Assessment calculated each year does not require or facilitate an increase of the annual assessment and neither does it restrict assessments to the adjusted maximum amount. If the budget and assessments for the fiscal year require an increase and the increase is more than the adjusted Maximum Assessment, it is considered an increased assessment.
To impose an increase assessment, the City of Jurupa Valley must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D Section 4c, that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owner through the balloting process must approve the proposed assessment increase. If the proposed assessment is approved, then a new Maximum Asse ssment is established for ZONE 2-I. If the proposed assessment is not approve d, the City may not levy an assessment greater than the adjusted Maximum Assessment previously established for ZONE 2-I.
COST ESTIMATE
The Ad Valorem reduction is the corresponding general benefit value of the improvements, and it is determined by identifying the general public benefit from the installation and upkeep of the improvements identified on this report. All proposed lighting improvements contained within this report are located in front of or leading to the assessed boundary zone and the construction and installation of the improvements were only necessary for the development of properties within the Zone. Therefore, it was determined that any public access or use of these local improvements by others is incidental and there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside the one or to the public at large. The Ad Valorem reduction for this assessment is zero.
The Assessment for each assessable parcel within ZONE 2 -I is calculated by dividing the total Annual Balance to Levy minus the Ad Valorem Reduction by the total number of assessable subdivided parcels within ZONE 2-I to determine the Annual Assessment per assessable parcel(s).

THEREIN
BACKGROUND
On April 17, 2025, the City Council took the first step in the process of forming CF D No. 2024-002 (Countryside Estates) ("CFD"), composed of a residential project area known as Countryside Estates (Assessor Parcel Number 186- 160-021). The project proposes thirty-one (31) Single Family Residences subject to the special tax and one (1) exempt drainage basin parcel at build-out. The CFD is comprised of approximately 19.42 gross taxable acres. At that time the City Council approved a Resolution of Intention, Resolution No. 2025-33, to form the CFD and to authorize the levy of a special tax. At that meeting, the City Council set June 5, 2025 as the date for the public hearing.
The State legislature enacted the Mello- Roos Act of 1982 (the "Act") to assist public agencies in financing certain public services. The legal property owner, GDC- RCH Countryside, LP, requested that the City assist them in forming a district for the City to cover the costs associated with the maintenance of public improvements within the Countryside Estates residential project area.
The CFD will set up a special tax to generally cover costs associated with the maintenance of public improvements, including but not limited to:
• The maintenance of s treetlights including energy charges, operation, maintenance, and administrative costs of streetlights; and
Regular City Council Meeting - June 5, 2025
Page | 3
• Landscape maintenance in the City right-of-way, basins & BMP’s, or easement, to be financed, including streetscape, slopes, and open space areas.

Inspection is inclusive of scheduling, travel time, visual inspection process and procedures, GPS location recording, reporting by device, annual reporting; visual inspection for functionality, vegetated as designed, irrigation is complete and in working order, noting any of the following: deficiencies, erosion, trash, silt, sediment, structural deficiencies. Maintenance is inclusive of repair or replacing any of the items noted as deficient or needing to be corrected to not be deficient.
Administration is inclusive of quality assurance and control of inspection and maintenance, general contract administration, including phone calls and procurement of goods and services; and
• Stormwater facilities, including basins and BMPs. Basin and BMP maintenance means maintenance, administration and inspection of the stormwater facilities and BMPs including open space areas, and any other NPDES/WQMP/BMP related devices; and
• L itter and graffiti removal on walls and other amenities, plus normal painting as required; and
• A ll other services necessary or useful for, or in connection with, the authorized services listed above, including, but not limited to, building a reserve fund for replacement.
ANALYSIS
The proposed CFD will have a Maximum Special Tax for base fiscal year 2024-2025 of:
SPECIAL TAX
Single Family Residential Property (Dwelling Unit) $1,270.00 Condominium Residential Property (Dwelling Unit) $889.00 Accessory Dwelling Unit Residential Property (Dwelling Unit) $889.00 Multifamily Residential Property (Acre) $2,430.00

TALS:
WHEREAS, on April 17, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution 2024-33 entitled “A Resolution of Intention of the City Council of the City Of Jurupa Valley, California to Establish City of Jurupa Valley Community Facilities District No. 2024-002 ( Countryside Estates) and to authorize the levy of a Special Tax within City Of Jurupa Valley Community Facilities District No. 2024-002 (Countryside Estates)” (the “Resolution of Intention”), stating its intention to form Community Facilities District No. 2024-002 ( Countryside Estates ) (the “CFD”), of the City pursuant to Chapter 2.5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5, commencing with Section 53311, of the California Government Code (the “Act”) to finance certain services to serve the CFD (the “Services”);
WH
EREAS, the Resolution of Intention, setting forth a description of the proposed boundaries of the CFD, Services to be financed by the CFD, including incidental expenses, and the rate and method of apportionment (the “Rate and Method”) of the special tax (the “Spe cial Tax”) to be levied within the CFD to pay for the Services, is on file with the City Clerk and the provisions thereof are incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth herein; WH
EREAS, the Resolution of Intention set June 5 , 2025 at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, as the date for a public hearing on the establishment of the CFD, the extent of the CFD, the furnishing of the Services within the CFD, and the proposed Rate and Method; WH
EREAS, on this date, this Council held a noticed public hearing as required by the Act and the Resolution of Intention relative to the proposed formation of the CFD; WH
EREAS, at the hearing all interested persons desiring to be heard for or against the establishment of the CFD, the extent of the CFD, the furnishing of the Services and the Rate and Method were heard and a full and fair hearing was held; WH
EREAS, at the hearing evidence was presented to this Council on such matters before it, including a special report (the “CFD Report”) as to the Services to be provided through the CFD and the costs thereof, a copy of which is on file with the City Clerk, and this Council, at the conclusion of said hearing, is fully advised in the premises; WH

(50%) or more of the registered voters residing within the territory of the CFD or property owners of one-half (1/2) or more of the area of land within the CFD and not exempt from the proposed special taxes; and
WHEREAS, the Special Tax proposed to be levied in the CFD to pay for the proposed services has not been eliminated by protest by fifty percent (50%) or more of the registered voters residing within the territory of the CFD or the owners of one -half (1/2) or more of the area of land within the CFD and not exempt from the special taxes.
WHEREAS, City Staff reviewed the proposed CFD formation and determined that forming the CFD and financing the Services, as described in Section 7 of this Resolution, does not constitute a project for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act, commencing with Section 21000 of the California Public Resources Code and the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Article 5 of Chapter 3 of Division 6 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, (collectively “CEQA”). CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 specifically state that the term “project” for CEQA purposes does not include “continuing administrative or maintenance activities” or “the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.” (CEQA Guidelines §§ 15378 (b)(2) and (b)(4).)
WHEREAS, the CFD is intended to fund maintenance of street lights, landscaping, stormwater facilities and BMPs, litter and graffiti removal on soundwalls and other amenities, plus normal painting as required within the CFD, all other services necessary or useful for, or in connection with, the authorized services listed above, including building a reserve fund for replacement and incidental expenses thereto, which constitute administrative and maintenance functions of the City.
Further, establishment of a revenue stream to fund ongoing services does not involve commitment to any specific project that would have a potentially significant impact on the environment because the funds would not be used to construct new or expand existing facilities.
WHEREAS, in addition to the foregoing, because the project is a financing mechanism to fund ongoing administrative and maintenance operations, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, and therefore is exempt from CEQA’s provisions. (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3).)

Further, the City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that the proposed financing mechanism and services funded thereby have no possibility of resulting in a significant effect on the environment.
