Subject: Extended Stay Hotel Parking Study (JN 0365-0001)
Dear Mr. Barbosa:
Trames S olutions Inc. is pleased to submit the following parking evaluation for the proposed Extended Stay Hotel development. It is our understanding that t he site is proposed to be developed with a 128 room hotel. The project site is located at 5060 E.
Fourth St. in the City of Ontario.
INTRODUCTION
The proposed project consists of a 128-room hotel with an 1,824 sf meeting room, and a 331 sf cafe. Attachment A contains the site plan that shows a total of 118 parking spaces consisting of 106 regular spaces, 5 handicap spaces, and 7 electric vehicle spaces.
The intent of th is parking evaluation is to determine the parking requirements of the proposed uses based on the Cit y’s parking code and the potential requirements of the project due to the nature of the proposed land uses.

CITY OF ONTARIO PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS
Proposed Project
The following parking rate is based on the City of Ontario for the use associated with the proposed site:
• Hotel = 1 space per room
Therefore, according to the City’s requirements, the following number of parking spaces would be required for the proposed project:
Hotel: 128 rooms x (1 space per room) = 128 spaces
PARKING REDUCTION MEASURES
The proposed project will consist of several factors that can reduce the number of parking spaces required for the site. These “mode and noncaptive adjustment” factors include the location of the project ( urban environment), provision/proximity to public tran sit opportunities, and ride hailing opportunities.
The typical patron of the proposed hotel use is anticipated to arrive from the Ontario International Airport (about 5 miles away) to attend a conference or meeting in the adjacent area or attend an event at the Ontario Convention Center. Rather than renting a car, it is anticipated that the patrons will arrive at the hotel via a ride hailing service since the cost and convenience of such services outweigh the difficulty and expense of renting a vehicle.
Ride Hailing Services
Uber/Lyft provide on-demand transportation services for a reasonable cost. Once at the hotel, guests can use the Uber/Lyft services to travel to their nearby meetings/conferences rather than renting a vehicle.

Public Transit
Public bus service is provided by Omnitrans Route 61 and can be taken to the Ontario Airport or other various amenities.
Urban Location
The u rban environment promotes pedestrian mobility in lieu of vehicle s. Many of the restaurants/attractions are within walking distance of the hotel. Sidewalks and signalized intersections provide controlled crossings.
Urban Land Institute (ULI) Recommended Reduction Measures The Urban Land Institute has provided mode and noncapti ve parking reduction percentages for a hotel based on the factors listed above. ULI has indicated a 41 % reduction factor during the weekday and a 31 % reduction factor during the weekend in visitor parking for a hotel located in the vicinity of a suburban location (Shared Parking, 3rd Edition, Urban Land Institute, 2020, Figure 4 -18 Suggested Mode and No ncaptive Adjustment Factors for Hotels). Since the hotel will contain an 1,824 sf meeting room and a 331 sf cafe, th ese uses w ere also accounted for in the parking calc ulations.
Furthermore, parking demands at hotels peak at different times of day/different months of the year. ULI’s publication Shared Parking, 3rd edition (2020) provides the peaking factors by time of day and month. For the analysis provided in this report, the highest peaks (worst case conditions) were used.
The peak parking demands can be determined by applying the factors and peak demands by time of day/month for the proposed hotel use as shown below. Based on the application of these factors, the hotel will have a peak demand of 94 spaces at 8 AM on a weekday and 105 spaces at 8 AM on a weekend . Attachment B contains the summary o f the project’s peak parking demands based on the ULI factors.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on the City’s requirements, a total of 128 parking spaces would be required for the proposed 128 room hotel project. The City’s parking code does not differentiate between the various hotel types nor where they are located. For example, a resort/family hotel may require more parking spaces than a suburban hotel located near a hotel since renting a passenger vehicle may be more economical/convenient for a family on vacation than using a ride hailing service.
As indicated in this study, a reduction in the number of parking spaces for a suburban hotel has been determined due to the close proximity to the Ontario Airport, the economic advantage and convenience of ride hailing service s, and the availability of public transit services. The analysis indicates that a total of 94 parking spaces on a weekday and 104 parking spaces on a weekend would be the peak parking demands of the proposed hotel due to the factors described above. Since the project is proposed to provide 118 spaces for the hotel, a surplus of 14 parking spaces would be provided for the hotel during the peak demand timeframe.
If there are any questions regarding this evaluation, please do not hesitate to call me at (949) 244-2436.

WHEREAS, on February 22, 2022, the Planning Commission of the City of Ontario conducted a hearing to consider the Project, and concluded said hearing on that date; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY FOUND, DETERMINED, AND RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Ontario, as follows:
SECTION 1: Environmental Determination and Findings. As the recommending authority for the Project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record for the Project. Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Ontario Local CEQA Guidelines; and
(2) The Project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15332 (Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines , which consists of: (a) the Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies, as well as the applicable zoning designation and regulations; (b) the proposed development occurs within city limits, on a project site of no more than five acres, and is substantially surrounded by urban uses; (c) the Project site 229
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PCUP21-009
February 22, 2022
has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; (d) approval of the Project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and (e) the Project site is adequately served by all required utilities and public services; and
(3) The application of the categorical exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2; and
(4) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the Planning Commission.
SECTION 2: Housing Element Compliance . Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as the recommending authority for the Project, the Planning Commission finds that based on the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation, at the time of Project implementation, the project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of The Ontario Plan, as the project site is not one of the properties in the Available Land Inventory contained in Table A-3 (Available Land by Planning Area) of the Housing Element Technical Report Appendix.
SECTION 3: Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”) Compliance. The California State Aeronautics Act (Public Utilities Code Section 21670 et seq.) requires that an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan be prepared for all public use airports in the State; and requires that local land use plans and individual development proposals must be consistent with the policies set forth in the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted the ALUCP, establishing the Airport Influence Area for Ontario International Airport (hereinafter referred to as “ONT”), which encompasses lands within parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties , and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to noise, safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. As the recommending authority for the Project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation against the ALUCP compatibility factors, includi ng [ 1] Safety Criteria (ALUCP Table 2-2) and Safety Zones (ALUCP Map 2-2), [2] Noise Criteria (ALUCP Table 2-3) and Noise Impact Zones (ALUCP Map 2 -3), [3] Airspace protection Zones (ALUCP Map 2- 4), and [ 4] Overflight Notification Zones (ALUCP Map 2- 5). As a result, the PLANNING COMMISSION , therefore, finds and determines that the Projec t, when implemented in conjunction with the conditions of approval, will be consistent with the policies and criteria set forth within the ALUCP.
SECTION 4: Concluding Facts and Reasons. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the above- referenced hearing, 230
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PCUP21-009
February 22, 2022
and upon the specific findings set forth in Sections 1 through 3, above, the Planning Commission hereby concludes as follows:
(1) The scale and intensity of the proposed land use would be consistent with the scale and intensity of land uses intended for the particular zoning or land use district. The proposed location of the Conditional Use Permit is in accord with the objectives and purposes of the City of Ontario Development Code and The Exchange Specific Plan, and the scale and intensity of land uses intended for the Freeway Commercial land use district in which the use is proposed to be located. Furthermore, the proposed 128-room, hotel land use will be established and operated consistent with the objectives and purposes, and development standards and guidelines of the Freeway Commercial land use designation of The Exchange Specific Plan; and
(2) The proposed use at the proposed location, and the manner in which it will be operated and maintained, is consistent with the goals, policies, plans and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan. The proposed 128-room hotel land use will be located within the Planned Commercial land use district of the Policy Plan Land Use Map, and the Freeway Commercial land use district of The Exchange Specific Plan. The development standards, and the conditions of approval under which the proposed land use will be established, operated, and maintained, are consistent with the goals, policies, plans, and exhibits of the Vision, City Council Priorities, and Policy Plan (General Plan) components of The Ontario Plan; and
(3) The proposed use at the proposed location, and the manner in which it will be operated and maintained, is consistent with the objectives and requirements of the Development Code and any applicable specific plan or planned unit development. The proposed 128-room hotel land use is located with the Freeway Commercial land use district of The Exchange Specific Plan and has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure the establishment, operation and maintenance of the proposed land use consistent with all applicable objectives, purposes, standards, and guidelines of the Development Code and The Exchange Specific Plan; and
(4) The establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use at the proposed location would not be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements within the vicinity, nor would it be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhood. The Development Advisory Board has required certain safeguards , and impose certain conditions of approval, which have been established to ensure that: [i] the purposes of The Exchange Specific Plan are maintained; [ii] the project will not endanger the public health, safety or general welfare; [iii] the project will not result in any significant environmental impacts; and [iv] the project will be in harmony with the surrounding area in which it is proposed to be located.

WHEREAS, on April 19, 2022, the City Council of the City of Ontario conducted a hearing to consider the Project, and concluded said hearing on that date; and WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY FOUND, DETERMINED, AND RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ontario, as follows:
SECTION 1. Environmental Determination and Findings. As the decision-making body for the Project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record for the Project. Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds as follows:
240
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Ontario Local CEQA Guidelines; and (2) The Project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15332 (Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines, which consists of: (a) the Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies, as well as the applicable zoning designation and regulations; (b) the proposed development occurs within city limits, on a project site of no more than five acres, and is substantially surrounded by urban uses; (c) the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; (d) approval of the Project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and (e) the Project site is adequately served by all required utilities and public services; and
(3) The application of the categorical exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2; and (4) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the City Council.
SECTION 2. Housing Element Compliance. Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as the decision-making body for the Project, the City Council finds that based on the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation, at the time of Project implementation, the project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of The Ontario Plan, as the project site is not one of the properties in the Available Land Inventory contained in Table A-3 (Available Land by Planning Area) of the Housing Element Technical Report Appendix.
SECTION 3. Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”) Compliance. The California State Aeronautics Act (Public Utilities Code Section 21670 et seq.) requires that an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan be prepared for all public use airports in the State; and requires that local land use plans and individual development proposals must be consistent with the policies set forth in the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted the Ontario International Airport Land use Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”), establishing the Airport Influence Area for Ontario International Airport (“ONT”), which encompasses lands within parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to noise, safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. As the decision-making body for the Project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation against the ALUCP compatibility factors, including [1] Safety Criteria (ALUCP Table 2-2) and Safety Zones (ALUCP Map 2-2), [2] Noise Criteria (ALUCP Table 2-3) and Noise Impact Zones (ALUCP Map 2-3), [3] Airspace protection Zones (ALUCP Map 2-4), and [4] Overflight Notification Zones (ALUCP Map 2-5). As a result, the City Council, therefore, finds and determines that the Project, when implemented in conjunction with the conditions of approval, will be consistent with the policies and criteria set forth within the ALUCP.
241
SECTION 4. Concluding Facts and Reasons. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the above-referenced hearing, and upon the specific findings set forth in Sections 1 through 3, above, the City Council hereby concludes as follows:
(1) The scale and intensity of the proposed land use would be consistent with the scale and intensity of land uses intended for the particular zoning or land use district. The proposed location of the Conditional Use Permit is in accord with the objectives and purposes of the City of Ontario Development Code and The Exchange Specific Plan, and the scale and intensity of land uses intended for the Freeway Commercial land use district in which the use is proposed to be located. Furthermore, the proposed 128-room extended stay hotel will be established and operated consistent with the objectives and purposes, and development standards and guidelines of the Freeway Commercial land use designation of The Exchange Specific Plan, which meets the Specific Plans goal of providing a balance of employment, shopping and service opportunities, reducing the need for long commutes; and (2) The proposed use at the proposed location, and the manner in which it will be operated and maintained, is consistent with the goals, policies, plans and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan. The proposed 128-room extended stay hotel will be located within the Planned Commercial land use district of the Policy Plan Land Use Map, and the Freeway Commercial land use district of The Exchange Specific Plan. A hotel land use within the Freeway Commercial land use is conditionally permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Furthermore, the development standards, and the conditions of approval under which the proposed land use will be established, operated, and maintained, are consistent with the goals, policies, plans, and exhibits of the Vision, City Council Priorities, and Policy Plan (General Plan) components of The Ontario Plan; and (3) The proposed use at the proposed location, and the manner in which it will be operated and maintained, is consistent with the objectives and requirements of the Development Code and any applicable specific plan or planned unit development. The proposed 128-room extended stay hotel is located with the Freeway Commercial land use district of The Exchange Specific Plan and has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure the establishment, operation and maintenance of the proposed land use is consistent with all applicable objectives, purposes, standards, and guidelines of the Development Code and The Exchange Specific Plan; and (4) The establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use at the proposed location would not be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements within the vicinity, nor would it be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhood.
The establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed 128-room extended stay hotel at the proposed location would not be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements within the vicinity, nor would it be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhood. The project site is located within the Freeway Commercial land use designation of the Exchange Specific Plan 242
and a hotel use is a conditionally permitted use. In addition, certain safeguards are required and certain conditions of approval have been imposed, which have been established to ensure that: (i) the purposes of The Exchange Specific Plan are maintained; (ii) the project will not endanger the public health, safety or general welfare; (iii) the project will not result in any significant environmental impacts; and (iv) the project will be in harmony with the surrounding area in which it is proposed to be located.
SECTION 5. City Council Action. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Sections 1 through 4, above, the City Council hereby APPROVES the herein described Conditional Use Permit subject to each and every condition set forth in the Department reports, attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 6. Indemnification.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT:
The use of Mello-Roos financing for facilities in the residential development of the Olive and Oleander project is estimated to generate approximately $38 million in bond proceeds to 254
be used to fund a portion of the public infrastructure improvements needed to serve the project.
Mello-Roos bonds are not a direct obligation of the City and are paid from special taxes levied on each taxable parcel in the district; therefore, there is no General Fund impact from the issuance of Mello Roos bonds. City Council approval will be required in future years to process annual special tax levies.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 provides local government, with the consent from a majority of the property owners, the authority to establish community facilities districts for the purpose of levying special taxes to finance various kinds of public infrastructure facilities and City services. Under the Mello-Roos Act the initial steps in the formation of a community facilities district to finance public improvements and City Services are to adopt resolutions declaring the intention to establish a community facilities district, authorize the levy of special taxes, and issue bonds. Accordingly, on March 15, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-019, a Resolution of Intention to establish City of Ontario Community Facilities District No. 63 (Olive and Oleander) and authorize the levy of special taxes; and Resolution No. 2022
-020
declaring the City Council's intention to issue bonds for the district. The Resolution of Intention set the public hearing date for the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on April 19, 2022, to consider formation matters. City Council opened the hearing on April 19, 2022, and continued the hearing to May 3, 2022.
In the First Amended and Restated Agreement for the Financing and Construction of Limited Infrastructure Improvements to Serve an Easterly Portion of the New Model Colony ("First Amended and Restated Construction Agreement") between the City and NMC Builders, LLC, the City agreed to cooperate with the members of NMC Builders, LLC in the formation of community facilities districts to assist in the financing of the public improvements included in the agreement. Shea Homes LP of California have provided a written petition to the City requesting formation of a community facilities district for the Olive and Oleander project in Ontario Ranch. The Olive and Oleander project addresses the development of approximately 21.09 gross acres located west of Cleveland Avenue, east of Hamner Avenue, north of Edison Avenue, and south of Ontario Ranch Road. At build out, the project is projected to include 137 attached units and 87 detached units.
Included, as part of the resolution of formation is the proposed Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for the District. Under the proposed Rate and Method of Apportionment, the portion of the maximum annual special tax rates which will be used to fund debt service payments on the bonds is fixed and will not increase over time. As proposed, the amount of bonds authorized for the district ($38 million) is set intentionally higher than the current estimated bond amount (approximately $10.3 million) in order to allow future City Councils the option, without increasing the amount of the annual special taxes, to issue additional bonds to replace and/or construct new public infrastructure improvements in the future, or to fund City services. The term and structure of the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for the Olive and Oleander project is consistent with those of previously adopted Rates and Methods of Apportionment for Ontario Ranch community facilities districts. This ensures that the special tax rates levied on all residential property owners in community facilities districts in Ontario Ranch are developed in a consistent and equivalent manner. In addition, under the provisions of the Mello-Roos Act, to ensure that home buyers are making an informed decision, all residential builders in the Ontario Ranch districts will be required to disclose the maximum annual special tax amount to each homeowner before 255
entering into a sales contract.
Attached are five resolutions and an ordinance. The first attached resolution establishes the community facilities district, with the rate and method of apportionment of special taxes, and authorizes the levy of special taxes within the district. The second attached resolution deems the necessity of incurring bonded indebtedness for the district. The third attached resolution calls for a special landowner election to be held on May 3, 2022. The fourth attached resolution declares the results of the election, including a statement from the City Clerk as to the canvass of ballots, and directs the recording of the Notice of Special Tax Lien. The attached ordinance authorizes the levying of special taxes, and the final attached resolution authorizes the execution and delivery of an acquisition and funding agreement with Shea Homes LP of California. 256

If any portion of a Final Subdivision Map, or any area expected by CFD No. 63 to become Final Mapped Property, such as the area within TTM 20265, or any other Tentative Tract Map, changes any time after the City has issued Bonds, causing an adjustme nt to the number of Designated Buildable L ots, then the Backup Special Tax for all Designated B uildable Lots of Sin gle Family Detached Property and Single Family Attached Property subj ect to the change shall be calculated according to the following steps:
Step 1: Determine the total Backup Special Tax that could have been collected from Designated Buildable
Lots, separately for Single Family Detached
Property and Single Family Attached Property,
prior to the Final Subdivision Map or expected
Final Mapped Property change.
Step 2: Divide the amount determi ned in Step 1 by the
number of Designated Bui ldable Lots , separately
for Single Family Detached Property and Single
Family Attached Property, that exists after the Final
Subdivision Map or expected Final Mapped
Property change.
Step 3: Apply the amount de termined in Step 2 as the
Backup Special Tax per Unit for Sin gle Family
Detached Property and Single Family Attached
Property.
The Backup Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parce l shall not change once an Assessor’s Parce l is classified as Developed Property.
b. Final Mapped Pr operty, Taxable Public Pro perty, Taxable Property Owner Association Property, and Undeveloped Property
The M aximum Special Tax for Final Mapped Property, Taxable Public Property, Taxable Property Owner Association Property, and Undeveloped Property shall be $71,302 per Acre, and shall not be subject to increase or reduction and, therefor e, shall remain the same in every Fiscal Year.

City of Ontario CFD No. 63 11 February 16, 2022
2. Multiple Land Use Classes on an Assessor’s Parcel
In some instances an Assessor’s Parc el of Developed Property may contain more than one Land Use Class. The Maximum Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel shal l be the sum of the Maximum Special T ax for all Uni ts of Sin gle Family Property and Acre s of Other Residen tial Property and Non-Residential Property (based on th e pro rata share of Square Footage between O ther Residential Property and Non- Residential Pro perty, accord ing to the applicable building permits, Final Subdivision Map, parcel map, condominium plan, or other recorded County map) located on that Assessor’s Parcel.
D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX

First: If needed to satisfy th e Special Tax Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax;
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step has been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Final Map ped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Final Mapped Property;
Third: If additional monies a re needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionatel y on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of t he Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property;
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, then the levy of the Special Tax on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Pro perty whose M aximum Special Tax is d etermined through the application of the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Propor tionately from the Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Special Tax for each such Assessor’s Parcel;
Fifth: If additional m onies are needed to satis fy the Special Tax Requirement after the first four steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property up to the Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner Association Property;
Sixth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy t he Special Tax Requirement after the first five steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Public Property up to the Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Public Property.
276
City of Ontario CFD No. 63 12 February 16, 2022

Total Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of pre payment, the Special Tax Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated by the CFD Administrator as follows:
Paragraph No.
1. Confirm that no Spe cial Tax delinquenc ies apply to such Assessor ’s Parcel, and determine the Prepayment Period for the proposed prepayment.
2. Compute the Assigned Special Tax and Backup S pecial Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel to be prepaid based on the Developed Property Spe cial Tax which is, or could be, charged in th e curren t Fiscal Year . For Assessor’s Parcels of Final Mapped Property (for which a building permit has been issued but which is not yet classified as Developed Property) to be prepaid, compute the Assigned Special Tax and Backup Special Tax for that Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit which has already been issued for that Assessor’s Parcel.
3. (a) Divide the Assigned Special Tax computed pursuant to Para graph 2 by the total estimate d Assigned Special Tax for CFD No. 63 based on the Developed Property Special Tax which could be charged in the current Fiscal Ye ar on all expected development through buildout of CFD No. 63, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels which have been prepaid, and

279
City of Ontario CFD No. 63 15 February 16, 2022
4. Multiply the la rger quotient computed pu rsuant to Par agraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium (e.g., the redemption price minus 100%), if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Compute the Future Facilities Costs for the applicable Prepayment Period.
7. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursua nt to Paragra ph 3(a) or 3(b) by the amount determined pursuant to Paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redem ption Amount from the first bond inter est and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
9. Determine the Sp ecial Tax levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fis cal Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Add the amounts computed pursuant to Parag raphs 8 and 9 to de termine the “Defeasance Amount”.
11. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 63, including the costs to compute the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs to redeem Bonds, and the costs to record any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
12. If reserve funds for the O utstanding Bonds, if any, are at or a bove 100% of the reserve requirement (as defi ned in the Indenture) on the pre payment date, a reserve fun d credit shall be calculated as a reduction i n the applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the prepayment (the “Reserve Fund Credit ”). No Reserve Fund Credit s hall be granted if reserve funds are below 100% of the rese rve requirement on the prepayment date or the redemption date.
13. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 10, and 11, less the amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 12 (the “Prepayment Amount”).

The amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 7 shall be deposited into the Expenditures Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 11 shall be retained by CFD No. 63.
280
City of Ontario CFD No. 63 16 February 16, 2022
The Special Tax Pre payment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000, or integral multiple thereof, w ill be retained in the ap propriate fund established under the Inde nture to be used with the next prepayment of Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined under Paragraph 9 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy for such Assessor’s Par cel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid during Prepayment Period 3, the CFD Administrator shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act to indicate that the Special Tax has been prepaid and that the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
With respect to the Special Tax for any Assessor’s Parcel that is p repaid during Prepayment Period 1 or Prepayment Period 2, the obligation of such Assessor’s Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall be t olled, or suspended, through the end of such Prepayment Period, but shal l resume in the first Fiscal Year of the subs equent Prepayment Period.
The CFD Administrator shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act to indicate that the Special Tax has been satis fied for the remainder of the applicable Prepayment Period but h as not been permanently sa tisfied and the obligation to pay the Special Tax will resume in the first Fisc al Year of the Prepay ment Period following the Prepayment Peri od in which the prepayment was made. Once the obligation of an Assessor’s Parcel to pay the Special Tax resumes, the Special Tax for the then applicable Prepayment Period may be prepaid.

2. Prepayment in Part
The Special T ax on an Assessor’s Par cel for which a building permit for new construction was issued after January 1, 2021, may be partially prepaid. T he amount of the prepaymen t shall be calculated as in Section H .1, excep t that a partial p repayment shall be calculated by the CFD Administrator according to the following formula:
PP = (PF – AE)
x % + AE.
The terms above have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PF = the Prepayment Amount (full prepa yment) for the Special Tax calculated according to Section H.1
AE = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to paragraph 11 above % = the percentage by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parce l(s) is partially prepaying the Special Tax
281
City of Ontario CFD No. 63 17 February 16, 2022
The Special Tax partial prepayment amount must be sufficient to redeem at least a $5,000 increment of Bonds.
The owner of any Assess or’s Parcel w ho desires such prepayment shall notify t he CFD Administrator of su ch owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax and the percentage by which the Special Tax shall be prepaid . Th e CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the amo unt required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request and m ay charge a fee for providing this service.

For partial prepayments made during Prepayment Perio d 1 or Prepayment P eriod 2, the full amount of the Special Tax shall resum e in t he first Fiscal Year of the Prepayment Period following the Pre payment Period in which the partial prepay ment was made.
Once the obligation of an Assessor’s Parcel to pay the Special Tax resumes, the Special Tax for the then applicable Prepayment Period may be prepaid.
I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Fiscal Year afte r which no further Spec ial Tax shall be le vied or collected is Fiscal Year 2122-2123, except that the Special Tax that was lawfully levied in or bef ore such Fiscal Year and that remains delinquent may be collected in subsequent years.
