SUMMARY
Adoption of the resolutions (Attachments 1 and 2) will order the annexation of a total of 11 parcels into Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2014-01 (Maintenance Services) and Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2023 -01 (Public Safety Services) (the “Districts”). This action impacts only the property owners identified below, not the general citizens or taxpayers of the City.
DISCUSSION
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 street lighting, public landscape maintenance, streets and drainage maintenance services as well as public safety services ). The funding mitigates the costs of impacts created by the proposed development.
On March 25, 2014, pursuant to the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, the City Council formed CFD No. 2014 -01 (Maintenance Services) and on November 21, 2023 formed CFD No. 2023 -01 (Public Safety Services) to provide alternative funding tools for the development community to mitigate the impact of their proposed development. Annexation into the Districts provides property owners a mechanism to fund public street lighting, landscape, and streets & drainage services and public safety services, through an annual special tax.
On April 20, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 980, which designated the entire territory of the City as a future annexation area for CFD 2014 -01 and on March 5, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1007, which designated the entire territory of the City as a future annexation 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.
CFD 2014 -01 also offers the option of establishing a homeowner or property owner association to provide the ongoing operation and maintenance of the improvements.

If a landowner elects to annex their property into the District(s) and the City Council approves the annexation(s), the City is authorized to levy special tax(es) 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 District(s) to satisfy their condition(s) of approval:

The Office of the Riverside County Registrar of Voters confirmed there were less than 12 registered voters residing at each property, allowing a special election of the landowner.
Adoption of the attached resolutions (Attachments 1 and 2) amend each District and adds
ID: 25-0152 Page 4
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 a nd 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 Districts (Attachment 3).
Successful completion of the annexation process satisfies the project’s conditions of approval requirements to provide a funding source for the operation and maintenance of public services including street lighting, landscaping, streets and drainage and public safety services.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt the resolutions. Staff recommends this alternative as it will annex the property/properties into CFD No. 2014-01 and CFD 2023-01 at the request of the Property Owners and satisfy the conditions of approval for the proposed developments.
2. Do not adopt the resolutions. 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 resolutions 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 each District. The special tax can only be applied to a property tax bill of a parcel wherein the qualified electors (i.e., landowners or regi stered 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 applied Special Tax Rate for Street Lighting for Property Other than Single Family Residential (SL-02) is $1.00/front linear foot.
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.
