0 Section 3.The name of the proposed community facilities district shall be “Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 of the City of Lake Elsinore (Cambern Apartments Services).” Section 4.The Services proposed to be provided for the benefit of Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 are public services as defined in the Act, and this City Council finds and determines that the Services to be financed are in addition to those provided in the territory of the District at the present time and do not supplant services already available within the territory of the District at the present time. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the description of the Services herein is sufficiently informative to allow taxpayers within the proposed District to understand what the funds of the District may be used to finance. The Services Incidental Expenses expected to be incurred include the costs of planning the Services, the costs of forming the District, the cost of levying and collecting a special tax within the proposed District and the cost of administration.
Section 5. Except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax sufficient to pay the costs of the Services (including incidental expenses), secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the District, will be levied annually within the District. The Rate and Method of Apportionment, and manner of collection of the special tax are specified in Exhibit “C”.
The special taxes for Services may be increased based on the consumer price index by an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) per year to the extent permitted in the Rate and Method. The special tax for Services may be levied for such period as the Services are needed, as further described in Exhibit “C” hereto, provided that under no circumstances will such special tax be increased with respect to residential property as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels within the District by more than ten percent.
The special taxes are based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 will place on the Services. The City Council hereby determines that the proposed Services are necessary to meet the increased demand placed upon the City and the existing police, fire, rescue and paramedic services in the City as a result of the development of the land proposed for inclusion in the District. The City Council hereby determines the rate and method of apportionment of the special taxes set forth in Exhibit “C” to be reasonable. The special tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such special taxes are not on or based upon the value or ownership of real property.
Section 6. A public hearing (the “Hearing”) on the establishment of the proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-2, the proposed rate and method of apportionment of the special taxes to finance the Services and the Services Incidental Expenses shall be held at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, on August 12, 2025, at the City Cultural Center, 183 North Main Street, Lake Elsinore, California. Should the City Council determine to form the District, a special election will be held to authorize the levy of the special taxes in accordance with the procedures contained in Government Code Section 53326. If held, the proposed voting procedure at the election will be a landowner vote with each landowner who is the owner of record of land within the District at the close of the Hearing, or the authorized representative thereof, having one vote for each acre or portion thereof owned within the proposed District. Ballots for the special election may be distributed by mail or by personal service.
