DISCUSSION
ID: 24-0637 Page 2
As conditions of approval for the development projects, Property Owners are required to provide an ongoing funding source for certain public services (i.e. public safety services).
The funding mitigates the costs of impacts created by the proposed development.
On November 21, 2023 formed CFD No. 2023 -01 (Public Safety Services) to provide alternative funding tool s for the development community to mitigate the impact of their proposed development. Annexation into the District provides property owners a mechanism to fund public safety services through an annual special tax.
On March 5, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1007, which designated the entire territory of the City as a future a nnexation area for CFD 2023 -01. With the future annexation areas designated, annexations can occur without an additional public hearing as long as the annexing landowners provide unanimous consent.
A property owner has the following options to satisfy the development conditions requiring a funding source for certain public services:
1. Annex the territory into the applicable CFD(s). (This option is generally only available if there are fewer than 12 registered voters living within the proposed annexation area); or
2. Create a permanent, prefunded, and irrevocable endowment that will yield an annual revenue stream to meet the annual obligation and provide for the ongoing operational services.
If a landowner elects to annex their property into the District and the City Council approves the annexation(s), the City is authorized to levy special tax onto the annual property tax bill to fund the services related to or impacted by their development.
The following property owners have elected to annex into the Distr ict to satisfy their condition(s) of approval:

Adoption of the attached resolution (Attachment 1) amend s the District and adds the property/properties, with a special tax rate based on property type, in the Fiscal Impact section of this report and directs the recordation of the boundary maps and amended notices of special tax lien for the amendments. The City Clerk received and reviewed the Landowner Petitions and confirmed the Property Owners unanimously approved the annexations of their property into the District (Attachment 2).
Successful completion of the annexation process satisfies the project’s condition s of approval requirement to provide a funding source for public safety services.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt the resolution. Staff recommends this alternative as it will annex the property/properties into CFD 2023 -01 at the request of the Property Owners and satisfy the condition of approval for the proposed developments.
2. Do not adopt the resolution. Staff does not recommend this alternative as it is contrary to the request of the Property Owners, will not satisfy the conditions of approval and may delay development of the projects.
3. Do not adopt the resolution but rather continue the item to a future regularly scheduled City Council meeting. Staff does not recommend this alternative as it will delay the Property Owners from satisfying the condition of approval and may delay development of the projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
Revenue received from the special taxes are restricted and can only be used to fund services within the District. The special tax can only be applied to a property tax bill of a parcel wherein the qualified electors (i.e., landowners or registered voters, depending upon the number of registered voters) have previously provided approval. The maximum special tax rate is detailed below. If the projected revenue from the maximum special tax exceeds what is necessary to fund the services, a lower amount will be applied to the property tax bill.

1The special tax applied to the property tax bill will be based on the needs of the District. The applied special tax rate cannot exceed the maximum special tax rate.
The maximum special tax rates are subject to an annual inflation adjustment based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or five percent (5%), whichever is greater.
However, the annual adjustment cannot be applied unless the City Council annually authorizes such adjustment. The increase to the maximum special tax rates cannot exceed the annual inflationary adjustment without a two -thirds approval of the qualified electors.
