TO: City Council
REQUESTED BY: Erika Gomez, Finance Director
APPROVED BY: Robert A. Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: LLPD2 Detachment of Zone 44 - Tract 38202
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 4064, Ordering the Detachment of Territory from Landscaping, Lighting, and Park District No. 2, currently known as Lennar Tract 38202 (Canterwood).
DISCUSSION:
The City Council previously annexed territory, now referenced as Tract 38202, into its Landscaping, Lighting, and Park District No. 2 as Zone No. 44 to fund various maintenance activities provided by the City.
After annexing Zone 44 to Landscaping, Lighting, and Park District No. 2, the City Council and Planning Commission identified the need for a financing mechanism for maintenance and services on improvements related to new development within the City. In response, the City Council formed Community Facilities District 2020-1 (the "CFD") and approved the levy of special taxes therein. The CFD provides funding for services including, but not limited to, the maintenance of landscaped areas, parkways, and median improvements throughout the CFD, and the maintenance and servicing of streetlights, traffic signals, and appurtenant facilities (the "Services").
The property owner of Tract 38202 has petitioned the City to annex its territory into the CFD, in lieu of levying special assessments under Landscaping, Lighting, and Park District No. 2. As such, the territory must be detached from Landscaping, Lighting, and Park District No. 2 so that only one financing mechanism is in place to fund the Services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Detaching the territory from Landscaping, Lighting, and Park District No. 2 will have a beneficial impact on the City’s General Fund, as the territory is concurrently annexing to CFD 2020-1, which is anticipated to fully fund the services.
