AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JACINTO LEVYING A
SPECIAL TAX WITHIN CITY OF SAN JACINTO COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2003-1, INCLUDING CERTAIN ANNEXATION TERRITORY identified as Annexation No. 72 into San Jacinto Community Facilities District No. 2003-1.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council and Planning Commission previously identified the need for additional funding for police protection, fire protection, and suppression services. This includes funding for increased service levels necessitated by new development within the City. In response, the City Council formed Community Facilities District 2003-1 (the "CFD") and approved the levy of special taxes therein.
The City levies a special tax on eligible parcels within the CFD to mitigate the added cost of providing public safety services to new development. Based upon a petition from the property owner, the City Council declared its intention to annex this territory – commonly known as the site of Lennar Homes’ Canterwood residential development (181 SFR units) located north of Cottonwood Avenue, west of Marilyn Drive, east of N Lyon Avenue and south of Monte Vista Middle School – into CFD 2003-1 by adopting Resolution 4056 at their meeting of February 4, 2025, which also established the Public Hearing date to tonight.
The City Clerk has received the ballots from the property owner necessary to declare the results of the Special Election.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The annexation of territory into CFD 2003-1 will assist in mitigating the cost of providing police protection, fire protection, and suppression services. Based on Fiscal Year 2024/2025, it is anticipated that the CFD will collect approximately $118,016 in special tax revenue based upon full project buildout.
