(“VPM”), as more fully described below, and refinancing its existing bridge loan with long term Fannie Mae debt. Fannie Mae will require that the City of Norco enter into a Subordination Agreement subordinating the City’s Regulatory Agreement to the Fannie Mae loan.

Page 26 of 179 ends

Heritage Park Apartments (the “Community”) is an affordable senior housing community in the City of Norco originally financed in part in 2007 with a $5.1 million loan from the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Norco. The City of Norco is the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency. The 2007 Redevelopment Loan included recording a Regulatory Agreement restricting the Community to use as affordable housing with rent and income restrictions for a term of 57 years.

In October 2025, Heritage Park Norco, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Owner”) purchased the Community, repaid the Redevelopment Loan, and assumed the Regulatory Agreement covering the Community for the benefit of the City of Norco, effectively preserving the Community as affordable housing.

Owner is proposing to recapitalize the Community by bringing in equity investment by affiliates of the current property management company, VPM Management, Inc. (“VPM”), and refinancing its existing bridge loan with long term Fannie Mae debt, as more fully described below. The Owner’s existing nonprofit parent, Affordable Housing Access, Inc., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (“AHA”), will continue to exercise control as Managing General Partner with 50% of the general partner interests and 15.38% of the limited partner interests. The additional new general partner will be a subsidiary of VPM. The new limited partners consist of individuals and entities affiliated with VPM who wish to invest in the Community. VPM is a property management company with decades of experience managing affordable and market rate communities.

Owner is currently a single-member limited liability company whose sole member is AHA Heritage Park MGP, LLC (“AHA MGP”). AHA MGP’s sole member and manager is Affordable Housing Access, Inc., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (“AHA”). Owner will be converted into a limited partnership, with AHA MGP as its managing general partner and another wholly owned AHA subsidiary, AHA Affordable Investments II, LLC, a California limited liability company (”AHA LP”), as its limited partner. Thereafter, (1) AHA MGP will remain the Managing General Partner of Owner, VPM Barker, LP, a California limited partnership, whose sole general partner is VPM, will be admitted as a Co-General Partner of Owner, (3) AHA LP will remain a Limited Partner of Owner, and (4) certain individuals and entities affiliated with VPM will be admitted as Limited Partners of Owner. The Community will also simultaneously be refinanced with a new Fannie Mae mortgage loan in the maximum principal amount of $9,200,000. Fannie Mae is requiring that the City of Norco enter into a Subordination Agreement, subordinating the Fannie Mae loan to the City Regulatory Agreement, in the form attached as (Attachment 1). Before and after organizational charts are attached as (Attachment 2).

AHA is an Orange County based nonprofit owner and developer of affordable housing across California, which was founded in 1999 and has interests in over 26,000 units of affordable rental housing. VPM is a California based residential property management company established in 1978.

STAFF REPORT
Date: April 15, 2026 Agenda Item:

5.A.

First Reading: Ordinance No. 1141, Code Amendment 2026-01, An Ordinance of the City of Norco amending Norco Municipal Code Chapter 3.50 to update participation in the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation (TUMF) Program, and Resolution 2026-20, a resolution to adopt the TUMF schedule to establish Construction Cost Index adjustments.

RECOMMENDATION:

Motion 1: Adopt First Reading of Ordinance No. 1141, amending and updating the City’s TUMF Ordinance; and
Motion 2: Adopt Resolution No. 2026-20, adopting a TUMF schedule.

SUMMARY:

Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.), the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) has prepared a new nexus study (“2024 Nexus Study”) to update the TUMF fees. On September 9, 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions update their fees by amending their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Norco is a Member Jurisdiction of the WRCOG, a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and eighteen (18) cities located in Western Riverside County. Acting in concert, in 2002-2003 the WRCOG Member Jurisdictions developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials due to new development in Western Riverside County could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) on future residential, commercial and industrial development. As a Member

Page 49 of 179 ends

Jurisdiction of WRCOG and as a TUMF Participating Jurisdiction, the City participated in the preparation of a certain “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study,” (“2002 Nexus Study”) later adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee. Based on the 2002 Nexus Study, the City adopted and implemented an ordinance authorizing the City’s participation in a TUMF Program.

Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.), WRCOG has prepared a new nexus study (“2024 Nexus Study”) to update the fees. On September 9, 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions update their fees by amending their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction. The City of Norco adopted the fees at the January 15, 2025 City Council meeting. The City Council approved Ordinance 1127, which adopted the 2024 Nexus Study and its findings.

The TUMF Administrative Plan, as adopted by the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) has long provided for Construction Cost Index (CCI) adjustments to be considered on an annal basis in years when a comprehensive TUMF Nexus Study update is not conducted. Consistent with this administrative structure, the WRCOG Executive Committee, on December 1, 2025, approved the implementation of an automatic CCI adjustment applicable to all TUMF land use. The adjustment is tied to the September indices of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the Engineering New Records (ENR), with a cap of five percent (5%) on any annual adjustment. Bases on the blended NAR and ENR indices, the 2025 CCI reflect an increase of 2.6 percent. This adjustment is intended to ensure that TUMF fee levels continue to keep pace with increases in construction, labor, and land costs associated with the delivery of reginal transportation infrastructure, while avoiding larger fee increases during future comprehensive Nexus Study updates. The automictic CCI does not modify the underlying fee nexus, land use assumptions, or fee methodology adopted through the 2024 TUMF Nexus Study.

The proposed Ordinance provided the legal basis for a revised TUMF schedule. The actual TUMF schedule will be established through the Resolution.

In accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act, the proposed Ordinance and 2024 Nexus Study: (i) identify the purpose of the revised fees; (ii) identify the use to which the revised fees is to be put, including identification of any facilities to be financed; (iii) determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed; (iv) determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the type of development project upon which the fees are imposed; and (v) determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fees and the cost of the public facilities or portion or the public facility attributable to the development on which the fees are imposed.

The fees will be collected by WRCOG, Adoption of this resolution replaces the existing fee schedule and applies its first CCI increase consisting of 2.6 percent. Applying this adjustment results in the following updated TUMF Fee schedule, effective July 1, 2026.

Adoption of the proposed Ordinance establishes the legal mechanism for implementing the WRCOG approved automatic CCI adjustment, while the accompanying Resolution

Page 50 of 179 ends

establishes the updated TUMF fee schedule reflecting the 2.6 percent adjustment effective July 1, 2026. Future automatic CCI adjustments will be implemented administratively in accordance with the adopted Ordinance and Resolution and will not require a separate public hearing, streamlining the annual update process while maintain consistency with the TUMF Administrative Plan.

The resolution will establish the Fee Schedule for TUMF as follows:

1. $12,705 per single family residential unit 1,800 square feet or less

2. $14,292 per single family residential unit between 1,801 and 2,300 square feet

3. $15,881 per single family residential unit between 2,301 and 2,700 square feet

4. $19,851 per single family residential unit greater than 2,700 square feet

5. $8,021 per multi-family residential unit

6. $2.39 per square foot of an industrial project

7. $7.92 per square foot of a retail commercial project

8. $5.02 per square foot of a service commercial project

9. $2.51 per square foot of a service Class A and B Office.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agenda item will not result in a fiscal impact.

PROGRAM.

WHEREAS, the City of Norco is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and 18 cities located in Western Riverside County. Acting in concert, the WRCOG Member Agencies developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials in Western Riverside County (the “Regional System”) could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) on future residential, commercial and industrial development; and
WHEREAS, in furtherance of this plan, the WRCOG Executive Committee adopted the “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study”, dated October 18, 2002 (the “2002 Nexus Study”); and
WHEREAS, based on the 2002 Nexus Study, the City adopted Ordinance 804 on February 5,2003 (the “TUMF Ordinance”) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et seq. authorizing the City to impose the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) upon new development; and
WHEREAS, in 2016, the TUMF Nexus Study (“2016 Nexus Study”) was updated for the purpose of updating the fees. On July 10, 2017, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2016 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program; and
WHEREAS, on September 6, 2017, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1025 which adopted the 2016 Nexus Study and updated the TUMF; and
WHEREAS, in 2018, the TUMF Program was altered to adopt a process in which WRCOG calculates and collects TUMF on behalf of member agencies under the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2018; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1044 on January 16, 2019 allowing WRCOG to calculate and collect TUMF on behalf of the City; and WHEREAS, WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF Participating Jurisdictions, prepared an updated nexus study entitled “Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2024 Update” (“2024 Nexus Study”) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of updating the fees; and

May 6, 2026
WHEREAS, in September 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program; and WHEREAS, on January 15, 2025, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 1127, which adopted the 2024 Nexus Study and its findings; and WHEREAS, the TUMF Administrative Plan calls for a Construction Cost Index (“CCI”) adjustment to be brought forth to the WRCOG Executive Committee on an annual basis; and
WHEREAS, on December 1, 2025, the WRCOG Executive Committee approved the implementation of an automatic CCI adjustment for all TUMF land uses tied to the September indices of the National Association of Realtors and Engineering News Record with a cap at 5% of any annual adjustments; and
WHEREAS, an automatic CCI adjustment ensures that fee levels keep pace with increases in cost of constructing transportation projects and avoids large increases at comprehensive TUMF Nexus Study updates; and
WHEREAS, this approach also allows for consistency and predictability for the TUMF Program, while ensuring that the fair share principles under AB 1600 are satisfied; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to provide for automatic inflationary adjustments to the TUMF to reflect changes in construction costs over time, without modifying the underlying fee nexus, land use assumptions, or fee methodology; and WHEREAS, this Ordinance also includes minor updates to the definitions portion of the previous Ordinance to clarify the definitions of residential units.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Norco does hereby ORDAIN:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. The definition of “Multi-Family Residential Unit” outlined in Section 3(H) of Ordinance No. 1127 is hereby amended to read as follows:
“H. “Multi-Family Residential Unit” means a residential dwelling unit that is physically attached to one or more other dwelling units by a shared wall, floor, ceiling, roof, or structural foundation, regardless of the lot or parcel configuration, ownership structure, or type of subdivision (including condominium subdivisions). Multi-family residential units include, but are not limited to, duplexes, townhomes, apartments, and condominiums with attached units. As outlined in the Ordinance, accessory dwelling units

Page 53 of 179 ends

Ordinance No. 1141

Page 3 ends

May 6, 2026
(ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs), as defined by state law, are exempt from TUMF and shall not be counted in determining residential land use classification.” SECTION 3. The definition of “Single Family Residential Unit” outlined in Section 3(N) of Ordinance No. 1127 is hereby amended to read as follows:
“N. Single Family Residential Unit” means a residential dwelling unit that is physically detached from any other dwelling unit, sharing no common wall, floor, ceiling, roof, or structural foundation with another dwelling unit, regardless of the lot or parcel configuration, ownership structure, or type of subdivision (including condominium subdivisions). As outlined in the Ordinance, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs), as defined by state law, are exempt from TUMF and shall not be counted in determining residential land use classification.” SECTION 4. Section 4(C)(1) is hereby added to Ordinance No. 1141 to read as follows:
“Beginning July 1, 2026, and annually thereafter, the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) shall be automatically adjusted to reflect changes in construction costs.

The annual adjustment shall be calculated by WRCOG based on a blended Construction Cost Index derived from: (1) the National Association of Realtors – Median Sales Price of Existing Single-Family Homes, and (2) the Engineering News-Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index, using the September values of each index from the prior calendar year.

The percentage adjustment applied to the TUMF shall equal the annual percentage change in the blended index; provided, however, that in no event shall the annual adjustment exceed five percent (5%), whether positive or negative.

The calculated adjustment shall be implemented on July 1 of the year following index calculation.

If either referenced index is discontinued or materially altered, WRCOG shall apply a comparable, industry-recognized index that most closely reflects regional transportation construction costs.”
SECTION 5. Effect. No provisions of this Ordinance shall entitle any person who has already paid the TUMF to receive a refund, credit or reimbursement of such payment.

This Ordinance does not create any new TUMF.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-20

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

NORCO AMENDING THE APPLICABLE TRANSPORTATION

UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE (TUMF) APPLICABLE TO ALL
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY OF NORCO.

WHEREAS, the City of Norco (“City”) is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and eighteen cities located in Western Riverside County; and WHEREAS, the member agencies of WRCOG recognized that there was insufficient funding to address the impacts of new development on the regional system of highways and arterials in Western Riverside County (the “Regional System”); and WHEREAS, in order to address this shortfall, the member agencies formulated a plan whereby a transportation mitigation fee would be assessed on new development and would be used to fund the necessary improvements for the Regional System; and WHEREAS, WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF Participating Jurisdictions, prepared an updated nexus study entitled “Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2024 Update” (“2024 Nexus Study”) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of updating the fees; and WHEREAS, in September 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program; and WHEREAS, consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of Ordinance No. 1127, the City Council has been informed and advised, and hereby finds, that if the capacity of the Regional System is not enlarged and unless development contributes to the cost of improving the Regional System, the result will be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western Riverside County, with unacceptable Levels of Service. Furthermore, the failure to mitigate growing traffic impacts on the Regional System will substantially impair the ability of public safety services (police and fire) to respond and, thus, adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. Therefore, continuation of a TUMF Program is essential; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development projects on which the fees are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are necessary for the safety, health, and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the development in which the TUMF will be levied; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the need for the improvements to the Regional System and

Page 57 of 179 ends

Resolution No. 2026-20

Page 2 ends

April 15, 2026
the type of development projects on which the TUMF is imposed because it will be necessary for the residential and non-residential users of such projects to have access to the Regional system. Such development will benefit from the Regional System improvements, and the burden of such developments will be mitigated in part by payment of the TUMF; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the new 2024 Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the Regional System improvements and the facilities that compromise the Regional System, and that the amount of the TUMF expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total fair share cost to such development; and WHEREAS, the fees collected pursuant to the TUMF Ordinance shall be used to help pay for the design, planning, construction of and real property acquisition for the Regional System improvements and its facilities as identified in the 2024 Nexus Study.

The need for the improvements and facilities is related to new development because such development results in additional traffic and creates the demand for the improvements;
WHEREAS, by notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and place for a public hearing on the 2024 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder and at least ten (10) days prior to this hearing, the City Council made the 2024 Nexus Study available to the public; and
WHEREAS, at the time and place set for the hearing, the City Council duly considered data and information provided by the public relative to the cost of the improvements and facilities for which the fees are proposed and all other comments, whether written or oral, submitted prior to the conclusion of the hearing; and WHEREAS, section 3.50.010 of the City of Norco Municipal Code authorizes periodic review and adjustment to the applicable TUMF in accordance with any adjustments made by the WRCOG Executive Committee; and
WHEREAS, section 3.50.030 of the Norco Municipal Code implements an annual automatic construction cost index (“CCI”) adjustment to the TUMF; and WHEREAS, the purpose of the Resolution is to implement the initial automatic CCI adjustment as provided for in Chapter 3.50; and
WHEREAS, further CCI increases shall be automatically implemented pursuant to section 3.50.030; and
WHEREAS, the automatic CCI adjustment implemented by this Resolution is inflationary only and does not modify the underlying fee nexus, land use assumptions, improvement program, or proportionality findings previously adopted by the City; and

Resolution No. 2026-20

April 15, 2026
WHEREAS, the fees collected pursuant to this Resolution shall be used to finance the public facilities described or identified in the Nexus Study; and WHEREAS, the levying of TUMF has been reviewed by the City Council and staff in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines and it has been determined that the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

STAFF REPORT
Date: April 15, 2026 Agenda Item:

5.B.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Prepared By: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Department: Finance
SUBJECT:

Amendments to the City’s General Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2026-27 RECOMMENDATION:

Conduct the public hearing, and adopt Resolution No. 2026-21 updating the City’s General Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

SUMMARY:

The City’s General Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 be adjusted by 3.2%.

The change in Consumer Price Index (CPI) is 3.2% from January 2025 to January 2026.

BACKGROUND:

In 2025, Willdan Financial Services prepared a User Fee Study to update the City’s General Fee Schedule. The recommendations from the study resulted in the City Council adopting a resolution updating fees for general City services. The City Council has approved, as necessary, adjustments to the General Fee Schedule based on changes in CPI and supplemental studies by RCS or staff’s in-house estimates of cost.

Recommended Adjustment by CPI:

Fees are being recommended for adjustment by 3.2%. The change in the CPI was 3.2% between January 2025 and January 2026 for Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario. This adjustment is necessary to reflect changes in the cost of providing the services.

However, some fees are not recommended to be adjusted to ensure that the fees are competitive with other jurisdictions. Other fees may be recommended to be adjusted by amounts exceeding the CPI to adequately reflect the true cost of providing services.

MODIFICATION OF CURRENT FEES

Page 61 of 179 ends

Animal Services:
 Consolidation of Feline (cats) and Canine (dogs) adoption fees to include Maintenance Fees, Microchip Fees and Vaccination fees including Rabies for dogs.
 Consolidation of spay and neuter fees for dogs and cats to one size/age fits all along with reducing fees based on updated veterinary pricing (includes a 10% markup for staff time).

Community Operations:
 Set parking lot fees at $96 for consistency with Ingalls Event Center. Increase fee at Corydon back to $96 as full lot is open.
 Remove Ballfield Bases - no longer available.
 BBQ Rentals now managed by Ingalls.

Sheriff:
 Citation Correction Fee reduced to $25, fee regulated by government code section 26746.

NEW FEES
Community Operations:
 Picnic Shelter Rentals - Non-Resident $118 per day.

Animal Services:
 Adoption fee for reptiles (lizards and snakes) is being proposed to cover the cost of care and maintenance for the animals.
 Euthanasia fee for small fowl to cover the cost of the medications.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff estimates that the majority of the recommended fee adjustments will result in minimal additional revenues to the General Fund. Revenue impact from the recommended changes are captured as part of the Operating Budget process.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

An annual adjustment of fees is consistent with Strategic Direction No. 3 - "Economic Development and Financial Stability."

STAFF REPORT
Date: April 15, 2026 Agenda Item:

5.C.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Colby Cataldi, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Colby Cataldi, Community Development Director Department: Community Development
SUBJECT:

Reconsideration of the City Council's Approval of the Bluff Street Annexation #27, General Plan Amendment 2023-01, and Zone Change (Pre-Zone) 2023-01 on July 16, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

Reconsider the City Council's approval of the Bluff Street Annexation #27, General Plan Amendment 2023-01, and Zone Change (Pre-Zone) 2023-01, and provide direction to staff.

SUMMARY:

In July 2025, the City Council held a public hearing and approved the Bluff Street Annexation #27 by considering and passing Resolution No. 2025-51, Resolution No. 2025-52, and Ordinance No. 1132. Although these actions authorized the City to submit an annexation application to the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), no application has been filed and no LAFCO proceedings have occurred. In early 2026, the City Council initiated a formal reconsideration process to determine whether the previously approved annexation actions should remain in effect or be rescinded. This public hearing allows the City Council to clearly affirm or reverse its previous policy direction before any formal annexation proceedings occur.

BACKGROUND:

On July 16, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider Agenda Item 5.B. regarding the Bluff Street Annexation #27, General Plan Amendment 2023-01, and Zone Change (Pre-Zone) 2023-01. Following the public hearing, the City Council considered and passed the following actions on a 3-2 vote (AYES: Bash, Grundmeyer, Newton; NOES: Bowen, Sullivan):

Page 130 of 179 ends

 Resolution No. 2025-51 approving Annexation #27 and authorizing initiation of an annexation application with the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)
 Resolution No. 2025-52 approving General Plan Amendment 2023-01  Introduction of the first reading of Ordinance No. 1132 approving Zone Change (Pre-Zone) 2023-01
On August 6, 2025, the City Council held a second reading and considered and passed Ordinance No. 1132.

Although Resolution No. 2025-51 authorized submittal of an annexation application to LAFCO, no application has been submitted and no LAFCO proceedings have occurred to date.

On February 18, 2026, the City Council directed that the Bluff Street Annexation #27 be brought back on a future agenda for formal consideration of a motion to reconsider.

On March 4, 2026, the City Council voted to reconsider its prior approvals of the Bluff Street Annexation #27, and a public hearing was subsequently noticed for April 15, 2026, in accordance with Chapter 18.43 of the Norco Municipal Code and applicable State law.

The July 16, 2025 staff report and supplemental documents are attached for additional background, including the executed Resolution No. 2025-51, Resolution No. 2025-52, and Ordinance No. 1132.

Impacts on Infrastructure and Municipal Services
Concerns have been raised regarding whether the City’s existing infrastructure and public services can adequately support the proposed annexation area. Staff has evaluated current service capacity and determined that the City’s systems—including water, wastewater, and general municipal services—are sufficient to accommodate the properties within the annexation boundary without requiring new capital improvements or additional operating costs.

Property owners connecting to the City’s water system have already paid the applicable water development impact fees and water service construction fees. Similarly, properties electing to connect to the City’s wastewater system will be required to pay standard wastewater impact fees. Properties that remain on septic will be required to pay a monthly treatment capacity fee.

Reconsideration Hearing
The City Council’s action to reconsider the Bluff Street Annexation #27 provides an opportunity to re-evaluate the approvals granted in 2025 before any annexation proceedings are initiated with LAFCO. Because no application has been filed and no LAFCO actions have occurred, the City retains full discretion to maintain, modify, or rescind its prior actions.

As part of the reconsideration process, the City Council may determine whether the previously approved actions remain in the City’s best interest or whether circumstances, public input, or policy considerations warrant a different outcome. If the City Council

Page 131 of 179 ends

decides to rescind its prior approvals, doing so would require new City Council action— including consideration and passage of two new resolutions and introduction of a new ordinance for first reading—to formally reverse the earlier approvals.

The public hearing to reconsider the Bluff Street Annexation #27 allows the City Council to A) rescind all prior approvals or B) take no action:

A. Rescind all prior approvals: This option would formally withdraw the City’s previous actions related to Annexation #27, the associated General Plan Amendment, and the Zone Change (Pre-Zone). Adoption of the attached new resolutions and introduction of the attached new ordinance would be required to complete this action.

B. Take no action: Under this option, all prior approvals—including Resolution Nos. 2025-51 and 2025-52 and Ordinance No. 1132—would remain valid and in full effect.

The City could then proceed with submitting an annexation application to LAFCO in accordance with prior authorization.

This public hearing allows the City Council to clearly affirm or reverse its previous policy direction before any formal annexation proceedings occur.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost to file the LAFCO application is minimum $15,000, which could include additional review fees. Following annexation, general taxes will continue to be levied on properties in the annexation area, with the City of Norco added as the designated tax rate area. These revenues help offset ongoing service costs and ensure the City can continue providing adequate levels of public safety, infrastructure maintenance, and municipal services.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This agenda item is consistent with Strategic Plan Direction No. 3, "Economic Development and Financial Stability."

STAFF REPORT
Date: July 16, 2025 Agenda Item:

5.B.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Alma Robles, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Alma Robles, Community Development Director Department: Planning
SUBJECT:

Bluff Street Annexation #27, General Plan Amendment 2023-01, Zone Change 2023-01 (Pre-Zone) (City of Norco): A City-Initiated Proposal to Annex Approximately 56.82 Acres of Unincorporated Territory North of Bluff Street and West of River Road to the City of Norco. This Project Includes a General Plan Amendment to Establish Land Use Designations of RA (Residential Agricultural) and WR (Water Related) for the Properties to be Annexed, and a Zone Change to Pre-Zone the Properties with Corresponding Zones: A-1-20 (Agricultural Low Density) and OS (Open Space). The Subject Project Consists of the Following APNs: 121-030-004, -008, -009, -010, -011, -012, -013, -014, - 016, 121-050-001, -003, -005, -031, -032, -034 and -035, 121-320-002, -003, -004, - 005, -006, -007, -008, and -009
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2025-51, approving Annexation 27 and authorizing that an application be initiated with LAFCO; Adopt Resolution No. 2025-52, approving General Plan Amendment 2023-01, and adopt Ordinance No. 1132 approving Zone Change (pre-zone) 2023-01.

SUMMARY:

The recommended action is being proposed to accommodate the annexation of approximately 56.82 acres of unincorporated territory north of Bluff Street and west of River Road to the City of Norco. Adoption of the recommended actions will authorize staff to proceed with the submittal of the annexation application to the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). The Planning Commission at their meeting on February 14, 2024, denied the resolution to support the subject annexation.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND/SETTING: This is a proposed annexation, initiated by the City, for approximately 56.82 acres located in the County of Riverside on the north side of Bluff Street, west of River Road. All of the properties shown (in the map below) in heavy Attachment A

Page 133 of 179 ends

black outline, plus the adjacent public right-of-way, would be annexed to the City of Norco.

The proposed annexation would annex all of the remaining unincorporated territory between Norco and the City of Eastvale. Most of the properties are currently designated LDR (Low Density Residential) in the Riverside County General Plan and are zoned A-2 (Heavy Agriculture); two of the most northerly properties near the Santa Ana River are designated OS-C (Open Space-Conservation) in the Riverside County General Plan and are zoned W-1 (Watercourse, Watershed, and Conservation Areas). The properties currently designated LDR and zoned A-2 are fully developed with single family residences; the remaining two properties are undeveloped (ref. Exhibit 1 for the Existing General Plan and Zoning designations in the County of Riverside).

The Norco General Plan identifies the properties in the annexation area as within the City’s sphere of influence but does not identify land use designations for the properties.

NMC 18.03.10 states that “when annexed property is not pre-zoned, it shall be considered to be in the LD (LIMITED DEVELOPMENT) Zone at the time of annexation, until otherwise classified.”
The City of Norco is proposing to annex the Bluff Street properties to provide all City services to these properties within the City of Norco’s sphere of influence. Most of the homes in the proposed annexation area have septic wastewater systems. All of the homes were previously connected to a private community water supply (Block 77 Cooperative Water Company) that was no longer safe. The former water provider did not plan to acquire future water supplies or treat the existing water supply to make it safe to drink. Instead, Block 77 approached the City to request assistance with providing potable water service to the members/properties that were served by Block

77. The City agreed to allow these properties to obtain water service from the City. The City installed the new potable water services in late 2023 and to date, all of the developed properties in the proposed annexation area are connected to the City's water service (only six of homes are connected to the City's sewer service). Block 77 has

Page 134 of 179 ends

indicated its intent to continue to use their well to provide non-potable water for watering landscaping for each property that so desires. There are no proposals to further develop any of the properties in the annexation area.

In addition to City water, the annexed properties would receive other public services upon annexation. The attached Plan of Services, required by Riverside County LAFCO for annexation applications, describes the existing public services received by the annexation area and the continuity of, or changes to, public services upon annexation (ref. Exhibit 2 - Plan of Services).

In order for the territory to be annexed to Norco the annexation has to be approved by LAFCO. The City would apply to LAFCO following the initiation of the annexation by the City Council. In addition, the City of Norco has to indicate in the application the prezoning of the territory. The pre-zoning is the zoning applicable once the annexation is complete. The annexation request is presented to the LAFCO Board for approval at a public hearing.

Unincorporated islands/annexation areas less than 150 acres are eligible for annexation under the streamlined provisions of the Government Code, which requires the LAFOC Commission to approve the annexation proposal and waive any protest provisions (otherwise available to property owners). A letter from LAFCO has been attached for reference.

ANALYSIS: Annexation: The annexation is being requested by the City because the annexation area is within the City’s sphere of influence and the City is already providing services to the properties in the annexation area. The annexation area can be served without further extension of City utilities. The annexation will support the City’s effort to provide potable water to the currently unincorporated properties. The proposed annexation is consistent with the General Plan Policies 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 in that the annexation supports the City’s small plot agricultural/animal-keeping lifestyle, and that adequate service and proper land use plans have been developed.

General Plan Amendment: The proposed action requires an amendment to the City’s General Plan to establish land use designations within the annexation area. State law requires zoning to be consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The existing lack of land use designation would not be consistent with any proposed zoning.

The proposed Norco General Plan land use designations are RA (Residential Agricultural) and WR (Water Related). These land use designations would be the same as the designations of nearby residential-agricultural and waterfront properties, are functionally equivalent to the existing Riverside County land use designations for each property, and are appropriate for the properties and neighborhood. Findings for approval of the proposed land use designations and the corresponding map are found in the attached General Plan Amendment resolution.

Zone Change (Pre-Zone): Without pre-zoning, upon annexation, the annexation area would be zoned LD (Limited Development), which is not appropriate for the properties developed with single-family residences. The proposed Norco zoning designations are A-1-20 (Agricultural - Low Density and OS (Open Space). These proposed zoning designations are appropriate for these properties as these zones will not result in additional development, are equivalent to the existing Riverside County zoning designations, and are identical to existing Norco zoning designations within the

Page 135 of 179 ends

neighborhood. Norco Municipal Code 18.03.10 authorizes the City Council to pre-zone annexed areas by resolution. Findings for approval and the corresponding map of the proposed pre-zoning are found in the attached Zone Change resolution.

CEQA: The project has been determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and the City of Norco Environmental Guidelines pursuant to Class 19 (Annexations of Existing Facilities).

Planning Commission: The Planning Commission considered the subject annexation at their meeting on February 14, 2024. After hearing the testimony of the property owners affected by the annexation, who were all opposed to being annexed into the City, denied the resolution to support the subject annexation. The minutes excerpt on the annexation for that meeting on February 14, 2024 has been attached for reference.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Existing City services and infrastructure are adequate to service the proposed annexation area. To connect to the City water system, property owners were charged water development impact fees and water service construction fees. To connect to the City's wastewater system, the appropriate impact fees must also be paid. Properties that stay on septic will be required to pay a monthly treatment capacity fee. Following annexation, general taxes will continue to be levied on properties in the annexation area and the City of Norco would be added as a tax rate area.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Plan Direction No. 3 - Economic Development and Financial Stability: Assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.

EXHIBIT 2

BLUFF STREET ANNEXATION PLAN OF SERVICES

CITY OF NORCO
I. Background/Introduction
The City of Norco is proposing to annex the Bluff Street properties to provide City services to these properties within the City of Norco’s sphere of influence. The properties currently zoned A-2 (County of Riverside) are fully developed with single family residences. A majority of the homes have septic wastewater systems and are connected to the City of Norco domestic water system. Most of the properties are currently designated LDR (Low Density Residential) in the Riverside County General Plan and are zoned A-2 (Heavy Agriculture); two of the most northerly properties near the Santa Ana River are designated OS-C (Open Space-Conservation) in the Riverside County General Plan and are zoned W-1 (Watercourse, Watershed, and Conservation Areas). The City of Norco is predesignating the properties with equivalent General Plan land use designations: RA (Residential Agricultural) and WR (Water Related), and pre-zoning the properties with equivalent zoning designations: A-1-20 (Agricultural Low Density)--(with a minimum lot size of 21,780 square feet), and OS (Open Space). There are no proposals to develop any of the properties.

II. Police Protection
A. Current Service Provider
The Riverside County Sheriff currently provides police protection. The agency-wide officer to population ratio goal is .75 officers per 1,000 population. The response time goals for the area are 4 minutes for Priority 1 calls, 15 minutes for Priority 2 calls, 22 minutes for Priority 3 calls, and 45 minutes for Priority 4 calls.

The nearest County Sheriff substation providing counter services to the affected area is the Norco substation at 2870 Clark Avenue in Norco. The current officer to population ratio within the unincorporated area of the station is .57 officers per 1,000 population. The actual number of patrol hours per day within the unincorporated service area of the station is 48. Within the general area, the average response times are 4.93 minutes for Priority 1 calls, 16.38 minutes for Priority 2 calls, 32.13 minutes for Priority 3 calls, and 49.95 minutes for Priority 4 calls.

Five community-oriented policing and traffic deputies are also assigned to the community.

They work with and support the 19-member Norco Citizen's Patrol Program, conduct neighborhood watch programs, engage in community-oriented policing programs, and help prevent crime by targeting habitual offenders the ones who account for a large portion of the crime in the community. They also investigate traffic collisions, enforce traffic regulations and arrest drunk drivers.

B. New Service Provider
The City of Norco contracts with the County of Riverside for law enforcement services. To provide the contracted coverage requirements of 48 hours of patrol deputy time each day, 15 Jurupa Valley Station Deputies are assigned to patrol in the community. These deputies are supported by clerical staff, investigators for case follow-up, sergeants for supervision, and management and administrative staff from the Jurupa Valley Station.

Page 157 of 179 ends

Plan of Services for City of Norco Bluff Street Annexation (Annexation #27) 2 A lieutenant acts as the chief of police and is the liaison between the City and the Sheriff’s Department. Two sergeants are assigned to Norco to supervise deputies working out of the substation at City Hall.

Five community-oriented policing and traffic deputies are also assigned to the community.

They work with and support the 19-member Norco Citizen's Patrol Program, conduct neighborhood watch programs, engage in community-oriented policing programs, and help prevent crime by targeting habitual offenders the ones who account for a large portion- of the crime in the community. They also investigate traffic collisions, enforce traffic regulations and arrest drunk drivers.

Four community services officers assist in freeing up deputy time by handling prisoner transportation to the County jail and by responding to non-threatening calls for service.

The total contract officer to population ratio is .75 officers per 1,000 population. The response time goals are 4 minutes for Priority 1 calls, 15 minutes for Priority 2 calls, 22 minutes for Priority 3 calls, and 45 minutes for Priority 4 calls.

The actual officer to population ratio is .57 officers per 1,000 population. The actual number of patrol hours per day is 48. The average response times within the City of Norco are 4.93 minutes for Priority 1 calls, 16.38 minutes for Priority 2 calls, 32.13 minutes for Priority 3 calls, and 49.95 minutes for Priority 4 calls.

The properties proposed to be annexed are fully developed with single-family residences and are currently served by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Police services for the proposed annexation would be serviced by the City through its contractual agreement with the County of Riverside Sheriff’s Department. With approximately 24 parcels, this area will not require additional personnel or facilities to maintain the existing level of service.

The nearest two stations providing counter services to the proposed annexation are the Norco substation at 2870 Clark Avenue in Norco and the Jurupa Valley station at 7477 Mission Boulevard in Jurupa Valley.

III. Fire Protection Services
A. Current Service Provider
The Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department provides fire protection to the proposed annexation area. The nearest primary response station is Station #57 at 3367 Corydon Avenue, Norco, CA 92860, 1.4 miles from the annexation area. The second nearest station is Station #31 at 14491 Chandler St, Eastvale, CA 92880, 2.6 miles from the annexation area. The third nearest station is Station #14 at 1511 Hamner Ave, Norco, CA 92860, 2.7 miles from the annexation area.

Target response times are 4 minutes. Actual response times are:

Station #57: 4 minutes 9 seconds
Station #31: 4 minutes 22 seconds
Station #14: 5 minutes 13 seconds

Page 158 of 179 ends

Plan of Services for City of Norco Bluff Street Annexation (Annexation #27) 3 Equipment/Staffing:

Station #57: Type I equipment (engine for structure fires with advanced life support functions), 3 people per shift
Station #31: Type I equipment (engine for structure fires with advanced life support functions), 3 people per shift
Station #14: Type III equipment (engine primarily for wildland fires with basic life support functions), 3 people per shift
Based on the existing Riverside County zoning and land use designations, and under the proposed Norco zoning and land use designations, the annexation area is fully developed to the extent allowed by right in the applicable zones. No additional personnel or equipment will be required in the foreseeable future.

Riverside County Fire Department has an automatic mutual aid agreement with the Corona Fire Department.

Following the annexation of the affected area, the fire protection service provider would remain the same. The City of Norco contracts with the Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Departmentwhich are responsible for providing fire suppression, emergency medical, rescue, hazardous materials response, fire prevention, public fire safety education, and disaster preparedness services to the City.

Below is a map with the three nearest fire stations to the annexation area.

IV. Water Services

Page 159 of 179 ends

Plan of Services for City of Norco Bluff Street Annexation (Annexation #27) 4 A. Current Service Provider
Water services are currently being provided by the City of Norco; however, they were previously served by Block 77 Cooperative Water Company. The City does not have the existing water demands within the annexation area, but since the number of properties in question is small and defined as residential in nature, the overall water demands are not expected to exceed more than 20 acre-feet a year. There is no projected additional water demand within the annexation area under the current service provider. Demand from this area has not been accounted for in an UWMP or WSA but the City of Norco has sufficient water supply.

1. Water Supply
The current water supply is from both the City of Norco (Domestic) and from Block 77 groundwater well (irrigation). The groundwater well water is contaminated and unsafe to drink due to the contaminated groundwater. The current water provider does not plan to acquire future water supplies or treat the existing water supply to make it safe to drink. Instead, Block 77 has approached the City to request assistance with providing potable water service to the members/properties that are currently served by Block 77. The City has agreed to allow any property to obtain water service from the City and at least 16 members have already paid a water development impact fee and cost to construct a new water service to each respective property. The City completed the new potable water services in October 2023. Please note Block 77 has indicated its intent to continue to use their well to provide non-potable water for watering landscaping for each property that so desires.

2. Water Facilities
The existing Block 77 water facilities consist of one active well with pumps and pipes connecting to the properties within the annexation area. The well water has been determined by the State to be below water quality standards to serve the area and the well facility does not include needed water treatment. New water treatment facilities would be required to provide safe drinking water which Block 77 is not willing to construct and maintain. All future water use from the existing Block 77 well will be for non-potable purposes.

B. New Service Provider

1. Water Demand
The City of Norco will provide water service to the annexation area. Existing water demand within the City is about 6,700 acre-feet annually. Total projected total water demand within the City based on the existing zoning and land use designations is about 8,000 acre-feet annually. The additional water demand within the proposed annexation area is projected to be about 20 acre-feet annually. As the annexation area is within the City’s Sphere of Influence, the demand from Block 77 can be accommodated by the City of Norco.

Page 160 of 179 ends

Plan of Services for City of Norco Bluff Street Annexation (Annexation #27) 5 2. Water Supply
The City of Norco currently depends on three (3) wells and seven (7) outside agency connections for potable water supplies. The wells currently produce between 1,000 to 1,500 acre-feet annually and can safely yield 2,500 acre-feet at full operation. The City has nine (9) reservoirs with a combined storage capacity of fourteen (14) million gallons. The utilizes a water treatment facility that removes iron, manganese, and arsenic from its well water, insuring a safe and uninterrupted potable water supply of sufficient volume and pressure to meet domestic, irrigation, and fire flow requirements.

The City of Norco is in the process of developing a recycled water system to help offset/replace potable water demands at local parks. However, there is no immediate plan or infrastructure to support residential use on a localized or city-wide basis.

3. Water Facilities
An existing City water line runs the length of Bluff Street, adjacent to all of the properties to be annexed. The City completed a full water mainline replacement project on Bluff Street in October 2023 and at that time new water services were installed to each of the Block 77 properties that paid the applicable fees. No new wells, transmission lines, or storage will be needed to serve the annexation area. To connect to the City water system, the City charges each property a water development impact fee in the amount of $4,662 and a water service construction fee in the amount of $2,300 for a 1-inch service or $6,000 for a 2-inch service. See attached Norco Water System Map.

V. Wastewater Services
A. Wastewater Demand
Many of the properties in the annexation area are currently on septic but there are a few properties that have already connected to the City’s wastewater collection system. The City has already informed Block 77 members that they can connect to the City’s wastewater system if the appropriate impact fees in the amount of $6,134 is paid and a contractor is hired by the resident to install the new sewer service. The City will not require property owners in the annexation area to immediately connect to the City’s wastewater system. However, the City has an ordinance in place that does require properties within 200 feet of a public sewer to be connected to the City’s sanitary sewer system upon the transfer of property ownership.

B. Wastewater Facilities
The City is a member of the Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (WRCRWA) wastewater treatment plant that is fully operational. The plant can treat up to 2,700,000 gallons per day of Norco flow and is currently treating 1,900,000 gallons per day of Norco flow. An existing City sewer line runs the length of Bluff Street, adjacent to all of the properties in the annexation area. No new sewer facilities or expansion of existing facilities will be required to serve the annexation area. If properties are annexed, the City does require all properties on septic to pay a monthly treatment capacity fee in the amount of $19 which pays for the reserved treatment capacity of WRCRWA for Norco residents.

See attached Norco Sewer System Map.

Plan of Services for City of Norco Bluff Street Annexation (Annexation #27) 6 VI. Park and Recreation
A. Current Service Provider
The Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District (“RCRPD”), the current service provider, provides regional park services to all residents and employed persons within the County, including parks located in both incorporated and unincorporated areas.

RCRPD’s mandate is only to provide regional park facilities, so it does not support the construction, operations or maintenance of local parks anywhere within its jurisdiction.

The closest regional park is Rancho Jurupa Regional Park at 4800 Crestmore Road in Jurupa Valley, which is approximately 200 acres, is open 7 a.m. to sunset for day use and includes 131 RV campsites, cabin rentals, store, picnic shelters, restrooms, two fishing lakes, coin operated showers, laundry, barbecues, children’s playgrounds, boulder play area, grass areas, horseshoe pits, splash pad, miniature golfing, and disc golf. The closest open space area is the Hidden Valley Wildlife Area at 11401 Arlington Avenue in Riverside, which is approximately 1500 acres, is open 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and to 7:00 p.m. weekends, and includes 25 miles of hiking and equestrian trails, access to the Santa Ana River Trail, a nature center, and nature trail.

B. New Service Provider
The City of Norco Community Services Department would be the new service provider.

The nearest City of Norco parks visited by the annexation area would be Sundance Park and Pacer Park. Sundance Park, at 4047 Sundance Lane, Norco, CA 92860, is 1.5 acres in size, is open 7 a.m. to dusk, and has a basketball court, grass area, picnic shelter (permit required), picnic tables, playground, and restroom. Pacer Park, at 3407 Morgan Drive, Norco, CA 92860, is 1.7 acres in size, is open 7 a.m. to dusk, and has an arena, grass area, picnic tables, and playground.

There are 594.63 acres of parkland in Norco, consisting of neighborhood pocket parks, community parks, a Multi-Sport Complex, River Trails Park in the Santa Ana River, the Ingalls Event Center, SilverLakes (private-public partnership) and an equestrian staging area. The Community Services Department is responsible for building an equitable and inclusive community now and into the future through its belief that Parks Make Life Better and the diverse offering of recreation activities and resources.

The Community Services Department consists of four major Divisions: Recreation, Youth and Family Services, Senior Services and Animal Services. The Department is critical to help form and support relationships and enrich resident’s quality of life that are the foundation of a strong, sustainable and vibrant community by providing a wide variety of recreational and cultural activities.

This Division strives to expand sports programs for youth and adults to enjoy building a sense of community, promoting healthy lifestyle opportunities, and fostering a competitive and cooperative spirit.

Senior Services Division provides social and recreational experiences as well as valuable resources to older adults. The senior center facilitates programs, activities, senior excursions and special events that enhance the physical, mental, emotional and social health of seniors, and supports seniors as they preserve their independent living. The senior center strengthens the safety and security of those it serves and strives to foster the development of older adults.

Special events, a congregate meal program, a door-to-door transportation program, senior excursion program, counseling and referral programs also assist in achieving these important goals in a safe and caring environment. Through intergenerational programming, activities facilitate community problem solving and give individuals an opportunity to make a positive impact on those they encounter. Additionally, as mature adults are more active longer in life, staff are committed to keeping up with the changing trends to provide quality programming to new generations.

Norco currently has 22.58 acres of parkland per 1,000 population, which is above NRPA standards. Park Services preserves, protects, and shares our city's special places and provides users with well-maintained and manicured facilities to recreate, enjoy and make lasting memories.

Plan of Services for City of Norco Bluff Street Annexation (Annexation #27) 12 059002 - WESTERN MUNICIPAL WATER
Property taxes average approximately 1.12-1.14% of taxable value. Any bonded indebtedness associated with Riverside County that would be removed as a result of the annexation would not be reflected in changes in property tax rates.

B. New Service Provider
Following annexation, general taxes will continue to be levied on properties in the annexation area. Norco does not have a utility users tax. The above tax rate areas would apply to the annexed properties, except the following would be removed:
• County Structure Fire Protection
• County Waste Resource Management District
• Riverside County Regional Park and Open Space District The City of Norco would be added as a tax rate area. Property taxes average approximately 1.12-1.14% of taxable value in Norco; the only additional assessment that is not applicable to unincorporated properties is the CSA 152 special assessment averaging about $10, which is not charged to the unincorporated properties despite being within the CSA 152 tax rate area.

Debt associated with Riverside County (General Fund Obligations, Pension Obligations), Western Municipal Water District, and Corona-Norco Unified School District would be passed on to the annexation area but would not result in a change of tax rate. Debt associated with any applicable City of Norco Community Facilities Districts would extend to the annexation area, but not result in a change in tax rate.

Bonded indebtedness payable with additional property tax above 1% associated with the Metropolitan Water District, Riverside City Community College District, and the Corona-Norco Unified School District currently apply to the annexation area and would continue to apply after annexation at the same rate.
