On June 1, 2021, the CSD Board formed CFD No. 2021 -01, pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. The District was created to provide the development community with an alternative funding tool to mitigate the impacts of their proposed development. If a property owner elects to annex the parcels of their development into the Dist rict, they also authorize the CSD annually levy a special tax, collected on the annual property tax bill, against property in the development project. Thus, satisfying the condition of approval.
On December 21, 2021, the CSD Board adopted Ordinance No. 56 , which designated the entire territory of the City as a future annexation area for the District. With the future annexation area designated, annexations can occur without an additional public hearing as long as the annexing landowner provides unanimous consent. Once annexed, parcels are subject to the annual special tax to fund the service they are receiving.
An applicant has two options to satisfy the condition(s) of approval:
1. The property owner submits a Landowner Petition unanimously approving annexation of the property into the District. Approval of the petition and special tax rate allows the City to annually levy the special tax on the property tax bill of the property. This option is only available if there are fewer than 12 registered voters living within the proposed annexation area; or
2. The applicant funds an endowment in an amount sufficient to yield an annual

revenue stream that meets the annual obligation and provides for the ongoing operation and maintenance of parks facilities.
The Property Owners listed above elected to annex their property into CFD No. 2021-01 and have the special tax applied to the ir annual property tax bill. The office of the Riverside County Registrar of Voters confirmed the number of registered voters residing at each property, allowing a special election of the landowner. Adoption of the resolution (Attachment 1) amends the District and adds the property to the tax rate area identified in the Fiscal Impact section of this report. The resolution also directs the recordation of the boundary maps (included within the resolution) and amended notice of special tax liens for the amendments. The Election Official confirmed the Property Owners unanimously approved the annexation of their property into the District (Attachment 2).
ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt the resolution. Staff recommends this alternative since it will annex the properties into CFD No. 2021-01 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 because it is contrary to the request of the Property Owners, will not satisfy the condition of approval, and may delay development of the projects.
3. Do not adopt the resolution but rather continue the item to a future regular 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 tax is restricted and can only be used to fund the services for each tax rate area within the Distr ict. 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. If the projected revenue f rom the maximum special tax exceeds what is necessary to fund the services within the tax rate area, a lower amount will be applied to the property tax bill for all of the properties within the affected tax rate area. The maximum special tax rates are detailed below.

The maximum special tax rate is 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 CSD Board annually authorizes such adjustment. The increase to the maximum special tax rate cannot exceed the annual inflationary adjustment without a two -thirds approval of the qualified electors within the affected tax rate area.
NOTIFICATION
The Landowner Petitions were emailed to Property Owners on 11/14 and 12/03.
