Background
Tri Pointe Homes IE-SD, Inc. (the “Owner”) owns a vacant residential lot, including 133 residential lots. To adequately mitigate public safety services needed to serve the residential property within TTM 34249 the Owners have agreed to annex the property to Community Facilities District No. 2015-1 (“CFD No. 2015-1” or “District”) to finance police protection services (including but not limited to criminal justice services), fire protection and suppression services, and paramedic services (“Safety Services”) within the area of CFD No. 2015-1, which is necessary to serve new development within TTM 34249. The development within the annexation area will encompass 133 residential properties.
CFD 2015-1 Annex 15
CFD No. 2015-1 was formed by the City Council on March 8, 2016, according to the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (“Act”). On October 22, 2019, the City Council, acting as the legislative body of CFD No. 2015-1, adopted a resolution declaring its intention to annex the District into CFD No. 2015-1. The proceedings to undertake at this meeting will complete the proposed Annexation of property to CFD 2015-1.
The attached resolution will certify the results of the election on the Annexation of the Property to CFD No. 2015-1.
Discussion
Following the public hearing, approval of the first resolution will call for an election to be held regarding the Annexation. The City has received a certificate from the Registrar of Voters certifying that fewer than 12 registered voters reside within the District during the 90 days preceding the public hearing. Accordingly, the election to be held will be a landowner election under which the landowners are the sole eligible voters within the District. Tri Pointe Homes IE- SD, Inc. has also executed a consent and waiver to specific election law requirements, allowing the election to be conducted immediately following the public hearing.
Following the holding of the election, the City Council will be asked to certify the election results and assuming the passage of the propositions, the property within the District will be annexed to CFD No. 2015-1 and the City Clerk will be instructed to record a notice of special tax lien of CFD No. 2015-1 on the property within the District. The property within the District will thereafter be subject to the special tax levy of CFD No. 2015-1.
Fiscal Impact
The Developer has made a deposit to pay for the costs of the Annexation.
CFD No. 2015-1 will annually levy special taxes on all of the taxable property within the District per the Rate and Method of Apportionment to pay for the costs of services and administration of CFD No. 2015-1.
