SBCWID Management District Plan 3
October 25, 2024
I. OVERVIEW
Developed by Santa Barbara County wine tasting facilities and the Santa Barbara County Vintners Association (SBCVA), a non-profit organization, and the County of Santa Barbara, the Santa Barbara County Wine Improvement District (SBCWID) is an assessment district proposed to provide specific benefits to payors, by funding promotions & engagement efforts with the goal to advance assessed businesses in Santa Barbara County. This approach has been used successfully in other wine regions throughout the country to provide the benefit of driving increased business sales directly to payors.
Location: The SBCWID includes all wine tasting facilities , existing and in the future, located within the boundaries of the County of Santa Barbara (County), which includes the unincorporated areas of the County, and the cities of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Solvang, Buellton, Lompoc, Santa Maria, and Guadalupe , as shown on the map in Section III.
Services: The SBCWID is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing wine tasting facility sales and revenue therefrom. Promotions & engagement will promote assessed wine tasting facilities in the SBCWID to increase wine tasting facility sales revenue.
Budget: The total SBCWID annual assessment budget for the initial year of its five (5) year operation is anticipated to be approximately $1,650,000. A similar budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this budget is expected to fluctuate as sales do and as businesses open and close.
Cost: The annual assessment rate is one percent (1%) of gross sales revenue of assessed wine tasting facilities. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on purchases made outside of the state of California or purchases made pursuant to contracts executed prior to March 1, 2025. Revenue generated from the SBCWID is intended only to provide programs and services for assessed businesses, all of which are located in California. Sales made outside of the state of California are not subject to assessment due to a lack of benefit. Assessment dollars will not be spent on any programs or activities to benefit individual wine tasting facilities outside of the state of California. Assessment dollars may be spent outside of California to elevate the notoriety of the Santa Barbara County as a premier winery destination with the desired outcome of increased in -person visitation to business es paying the assessment.
Collection: A third-party collection agency shall be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis (including any delinquencies, overdue charges and interest) from each assessed wine tasting facility located in the boundaries of the SBCWID. The third- party collection agency shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each assessed wine tasting facility.
Duration: The SBCWID will have a five (5) year life, beginning on March 1, 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending five (5) years from the start date . After five (5) years, the SBCWID may be renewed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, Streets and Highways Code section 36600 et seq. (94 Law) if assessed business owners support continuing the SBCWID programs.

Management: The SBCVA will serve as the Owners’ Association to provide improvements and activities for the SBCWID. The Owners’ Association must provide an annual report on activities and expenditures to the County, which is also available to assessed business owners.

II. BACKGROUND
Wine Improvement Districts are an evolution of the traditional Business Improvement District (BID).
BIDs utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market -based promotion of business districts. BIDs allow business owners to organize their efforts to increase sales and promotional efforts. Business owners within the district fund a BID, and those funds are used to provide services that the businesses desire and benefit the businesses within the district.
Business Improvement District services may include, but are not limited to:
➢ Marketing of the District
➢ Business Promotion Activities
➢ Infrastructure Improvements
In California, BIDs are formed pursuant to the 94 Law. This law allows for the creation of special benefit assessment districts to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between BIDs and other special benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are managed by the private non-profit corporation governing the district.
There are many benefits to Business Improvement Districts:
➢ Funds cannot be diverted for other government programs;
➢ Services are customized to fit the needs of each district;
➢ They allow for a wide range of services, including those listed above;
➢ Business Improvement Districts are designed, created and governed by those who will pay the assessment; and
➢ They provide a stable funding source for business promotion.
The 94 Law is provided in Appendix 1 of this document.

III. BOUNDARY
The SBCWID will include all wine tasting facilities , existing and in the future, located within the boundaries of the County, which includes the unincorporated areas of the County, and the cities of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Solvang, Buellton, Lompoc, Santa Maria, and Guadalupe, as shown on the map below.
Wine tasting facility means: A business, primarily used for the retail marketing and sales of wine and related goods, open to all settings at which wine and related goods can be sold, including but not limited to: publicly available settings, by appointment only reservations, private and exclusive tastings, or other public or private events where wine and related goods may be sold. Wine tasting facility includes, but is not limited to, vineyard locations with onsite tastings, hospitality and retail rooms on site at producing wineries, and stand-alone tasting rooms in commercial areas. All wine tasting facilities must possess a 02 Department of Alcohol Beverage Control license.
A complete listing of assessed wine tasting facilities within the SBCWID can be found in Appendix 2.

IV. ASSESSMENT BUDGET AND SERVICES
A. Annual Service Plan
Assessment funds will be spent to provide specific benefits conferred or privileges granted directly to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable cost to the County of conferring the benefits or granting the privileges. The privileges and services provided with the SBCWID funds are promotions & engagement available only to assessed businesses.
A service plan assessment budget has been developed to deliver services that benefit the assessed businesses. A detailed annual assessment budget will be developed and approved by SBCVA. The chart below illustrates the initial annual assessment budget allocations. These activities and allocations will also apply in subsequent years. The total initial assessment budget is estimated to be $1,650,000.
Although actual revenues will fluctuate due to market conditions, the proportional allocations of the assessment budget shall remain the same. However, the County and the SBCVA board shall have the authority to adjust budget allocations between the categories by no more than twenty percent (20%) of the total budget per year. A description of the proposed improvements and activities for the initial year of operation is below. The same activities are proposed for subsequent years. In the event of a legal challenge against the SBCWID and/or the County, any and all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the SBCWID and/or the County. The costs of creating the SBCWID may be repaid to SBCVA reserves by deducting repayment funds proportionally from budget categories.
Each budget category includes all costs related to providing that service. For example, the promotions & engagement budget includes the cost of staff time dedicated to overseeing and implementing the promotions & engagement program. Staff time dedicated purely to administrative tasks is allocated to the administration portion of the budget. The costs of an individual staff member may be allocated to multiple budget categories. The staffing levels necessary to provide the services below will be determined by the Owners’ Association on an as-needed basis.
Promotions & Engagement, 73%

Promotions & Engagement
The promotions & engagement program will promote Santa Barbara County as a premium winegrowing region and a premier global wine destination and leader in the global wine community.
The promotions & engagement program will have a central theme of promoting Santa Barbara County as a desirable place to visit and a desirable area to purchase wines. The program has the goal of increasing visitation, retail sales at and recognition for assessed wine tasting facilities, and may include the following activities:
• Brand development initiatives to increase awareness and demand for assessed wine tasting facilities;
• Create innovative ways to deliver Santa Barbara County content to potential visitors to increase awareness and demand for assessed wine tasting facilities; • Customer segmentation, market analysis, and other research to increase awareness and demand for wine tasting facilities;
• Digital marketing initiatives and campaigns to increase awareness and demand for wine tasting facilities;
• Maintain and optimiz e SBCountyWines.com, and Santa Barbara Vintners social media channels to showcase the breadth of reasons to visit the destination to increase awareness and demand for assessed wine tasting facilities;
• Festivals and events to increase demand for Santa Barbara County wine from assessed wine tasting facilities;
• Support education regarding cultivation practices, water management, vineyard management, and other viticulture practices for assessed wineries;
• Support education amongst assessed wineries to cultivate wine expertise and community among assessed wineries’
• Educational workshops for assessed wine tasting facilities to increase visitation and sales as assessed wine tasting facilities; and
• Developing and implementing crisis communication plans during disaster events within the SBCWID.
The Owners’ Association will also build and maintain relationships with County and City governments to educate local leaders on issues that impact assessed wine tasting facilities , while refraining from activities that seek to influence legislation. Education and engagement will include collaboration with the County Planning Commission, Board of Supervisors, Farm Bureau, and Dep artment of Agriculture, as well as City Councils.
Administration and Operations
The administration and operations portion of the budget shall be utilized for administrative staffing costs, office costs and other general administrative costs such as insurance, legal, and accounting fees.
A portion of the budget may be used to cover the cost of a third -party to audit the SBCWID assessment funds as well as businesses paying the SCBWID assessment. The results of the audit shall be made available to the County, SBCVA, and businesses paying the SBCWID assessment.
Collection Fee
A third-party collection agency shall be paid a fee up to two percent (2%) of the amount of assessment collected to cover its costs of collection and administration.
SBCWID Management District Plan 9
October 25, 2024
Contingency / Reserve
The budget includes a contingency line item to account for lower than anticipated assessments or higher than expected program costs. If there are contingency funds collected, they may be held in a reserve fund or utilized for other programs, administratio n, or renewal costs at the discretion of the Owners’ Association. Policies relating to contributions to the reserve fund, the target amount of the reserve fund, and expenditure of monies from the reserve fund shall be set by the Owners’ Association. Contingency/reserve funds may be spent on SBCWID programs or administrative and renewal costs in such proportions as determined by the Owners’ Association. The reserve fund may be used for the costs of renewing the SBCWID.
B. Annual Budget
The total five (5) year assessment budget is projected at approximately $1,650,000 annually, or approximately $8,250,000 through 2030. This amount may fluctuate as sales do and as wine tasting facilities open and close.
C. California Constitutional Compliance
The SBCWID assessment is not a property-based assessment subject to the requirements of Proposition 218. Courts have found Proposition 218 limited the term ‘assessments’ to levies on real property.1 Rather, the SBCWID assessment is a business -based assessment, and is subject to Proposition 26. Pursuant to Proposition 26 all levies are a tax unless they fit one of seven exceptions.
Two of these exceptions apply to the SBCWID, a “specific benefit” and a “specific government service.” Both require that the costs of benefits or services do not exceed the reasonable costs to the County of conferring the benefits or providing the services.
1. Specific Benefit
Proposition 26 requires that assessment funds be expe nded on, “ a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.”2 The services in this Plan are designed to provide targeted benefits directly to assessed businesses, and are intended only to provide benefits and services directly to those businesses paying the assessment. These services are tailored not to serve the general public , businesses in general, or parcels of land, but rather to serve the specific businesses within SBCWID. The activities described in this Plan are specifically targeted to increase sales for assessed wine tasting facili ties within the boundaries of the SBCWID, and are narrowly tailored. SBCWID funds will be used exclusively to provide the specific benefit of increased sales revenue directly to the assessees. Assessment funds shall not be used to feature non -assessed wine tasting facilities in SBCWID programs, or to directly generate sales for non-assessed wine tasting facilities. The activities paid for from assessment revenues are business services constituting and providing specific benefits to the assessed wine tasting facilities.
The assessment imposed by this SBCWID is for a specific benefit conferred directly to the payors that is not provided to those not charged. The specific benefit conferred directly to the payors is an increase in wine tasting facility sales revenue. The specific benefit of an increase in sales revenue for assessed wine tasting facilities will be provided only to wine tasting facilities paying the district assessment, with promotions & engagement promoting wine tasting facilities paying the SBCWID assessment. The promotions & engagement programs will be designed to increase sales revenue at each assessed wine tasting facility . Because they are necessary to provide the promotions & engagement that specifically benefit the assessed wine tasting facili ties, the administration and

SBCWID Management District Plan 10
October 25, 2024
contingency services also provide the specific benefit of increased sales revenue to the wine tasting facilities.
Although the SBCWID, in providing specific benefits to payors, may produce incidental benefits to non-paying businesses, the incidental benefit does not preclude the services from being considered a specific benefit. The legislature has found that, “A specific benefit is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific benefit’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific benefit to the payor.”3
2. Specific Government Service
The assessment may also be utilized to provide, “a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product .”4 The legislature has recognized that promotions & engagement services like those to be provided by the SBCWID are government services within the meaning of Proposition 26 5. Further, the legislature has determined that “a specific government service is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific government service’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific government service to the payor.”6
3. Reasonable Cost
SBCWID services will be implemented carefully to ensure they do not exceed the reasonable cost of such services. The full amount assessed will be used to provide the services described herein. Funds will be managed by the SBCVA, and reports submitted on an annual basis to the County. Only assessed wine tasting facilities will be featured in marketing materials, receive sales leads generated from SBCWID-funded activities, be featured in advertising campaigns, and benefit from other SBCWID-funded services. Non-assessed wine tasting facilities will not receive these, nor any other, SBCWID-funded services and benefits.
D. Assessment
The annual assessment rate is one percent ( 1%) of gross sales revenue of assessed wine tasting facilities. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on purchases made outside of the state of California or purchases made pursuant to contracts executed prior to March 1, 2025.
Revenue generated from the SBCWID is intended only to provide programs and services for assessed wine tasting facilities, all of which are located in California. Sales made outside of the state of California are not subject to assessment due to a lack of benefit. Assessment dollars will not be spent on any programs or activities to benefit individual wine tasting facilities outside of the state of California.
Assessment dollars may be spent outside of California to elevate the notoriety of the San Barbara County as a premier winery destination with the desired outcome of increased in-person visitation to business paying the assessment.
The assessment was calculated based on the total cost of the activities to be provided for the benefit of the businesses within the SBCWID with costs allocated based on the proportional benefit conferred to each business. Activities funded by the SBCWID are specifically targeted to increase wine tasting facility sales revenue at assessed businesses. All wine tasting facility sales do not represent the same benefit to the payors. For example, a higher priced wine tasting facility is of greater benefit than a

4 Cal. Const. art XIII C § 1(e)(2)
5 Government Code § 53758(b)
6 Government Code § 53758(b)
SBCWID Management District Plan 11
October 25, 2024
lower priced wine tasting facility because the assess ee derives greater revenue. To account for this benefit differential and to make sure the benefits are proportional, an assessment formula based on a percentage of revenue has been selected. The proposed formula accurately reflects greater benefit to assessed businesses with higher priced wine tasting facility sales.
The term “gross sales revenue” as used herein means: all direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales of wine, wine club shipments (whether shipped or picked up), ticket sales, tasting fees, tours and private and public special events, merchandise, prepared foods for on -premise or off -premise consumption (whether sold in a tasting room or a stand -alone restaurant on -premise), orders placed via telemarketing, telephone, online, email, whether carried out at the time of purchase, shipped or picked up at a later date (pre -sales). Gross sales revenue shall not include any federal, state or local taxes collected, including but not limited to sales and use taxes.
The assessment is levied upon and a direct obligation of the assessed wine tasting facility. However, the assessed wine tasting facility may, at its discretion, pass the assessment on to customers. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each customer, shall be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount charged and any other applicable taxes, and each customer shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. If the SBCWID assessment is identified separately it shall be disclosed as the “Wine Preserve Assessment.” The assessment is imposed solely upon, and is the sole obligation of the assessed wine tasting facility even if it is passed on to customers. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) issued a written opinion that state sales tax applies to the revenue generated from business improvement district assessments on items where state sales tax is levied. In light of CDTFA’s opinion, businesses that pay both state sales tax and SBCWID assessments on sales are advised to collect sales tax on the assessment revenue.
Bonds shall not be issued.
E. Overdue Charges and Interest
The SBCWID shall reimburse the third party collection agency for any costs associated with collecting unpaid assessments.
1. Original Delinquency
Any wine tasting facility that fails to remit any assessment imposed by this section within the time required shall pay a n overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the assessment.
2. Continued Delinquency
Any wine tasting facility that fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay a second delinquency overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the assessment in addition to the assessment and the ten percent (10%) overdue charge first imposed.
3. Fraud
If the third-party collection agency determines that the nonpayment of any remittance due under this article is due to fraud, a n overdue charge of twenty -five percent (25%) of the amount of the assessment shall be added thereto in addition to the overdue charges stated in paragraph one (1) and two (2) above of this section.
4. Interest
In addition to the overdue charges imposed, any wine tasting facility who fails to remit any assessment imposed by this section shall pay interest at the rate of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of overdue charges, from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid.

October 25, 2024
F. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
The SBCWID assessment will be implemented beginning March 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, and continuing for five (5) years from the start date. A third-party collection agency will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis (including any delinquencies, overdue charges and interest) from each wine tasting facility located in each jurisdiction within the SBCWID.
A third-party collection agency shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each wine tasting facility. A third-party collection agency shall forward the assessments collected to the Owners’ Association.

V. GOVERNANCE
A. Owners’ Association
Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36651, the MDP may identify the body that shall implement the proposed program, which shall be the Owners' Association as defined in Streets and Highways Code §36612. The SBCVA will serve as the Owners' Association for the SBCWID.
B. Brown Act and California Public Records Act Compliance An Owners’ Association is a private entity and may not be considered a public entity for any purpose, nor may its board members or staff be considered to be public officials for any purpose. The Owners’ Association is, however, subject to government regulations relating to transparency, namely the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act. These regulations are designed to promote public accountability. The Owners’ Association acts as a legislative body under the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code §54950 et seq.). Thus, meetings of the Board and certain committees must be held in compliance with the public notice and other requirements of the Brown Act. Accordingly, the Owners’ Association shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present for the action. The Owners’ Association is also subject to the record keeping and disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act.
C. Annual Report
The SBCVA shall present an annual report at the end of each year of operation to the Board of Supervisors pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650 (see Appendix 1). The annual report shall include:
• Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of businesses within the district.
• The improvements and activities to be provided for that fiscal year. • An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year. • The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each business owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for that fiscal year.
• The estimated amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year.
• The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part.

PART 7. PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT LAW OF 1994
CHAPTER 1. General Provisions
ARTICLE 1. Declarations
36600. Citation of part
This part shall be known and may be cited as the “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994.”
36601. Legislative findings and declarations; Legislative guidance
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Businesses located and operating within business districts in some of this state’s communities are economically disadvantaged, are underutilized, and are unable to attract customers due to inadequate facilities, services, and activities in the business districts. (b) It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of business districts in order to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. (c) It is of particular local benefit to allow business districts to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that receive benefits from those improvements.
(d) Assessments levied for the purpose of conferring special benefit upon the real property or a specific benefit upon the businesses in a business district are not taxes for the general benefit of a city, even if property, businesses, or persons not assessed receive incidental or collateral effects that benefit them. (e) Property and business improvement districts formed throughout this state have conferred special benefits upon properties and businesses within their districts and have made those properties and businesses more useful by providing the following benefits:
(1) Crime reduction. A study by the Rand Corporation has confirmed a 12-percent reduction in the incidence of robbery and an 8-percent reduction in the total incidence of violent crimes within the 30 districts studied.
(2) Job creation.
(3) Business attraction.
(4) Business retention.
(5) Economic growth.
(6) New investments.
(f) With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies throughout the state, property and business improvement districts have become even more important tools with which communities can combat blight, promote economic opportunities, and create a clean and safe environment. (g) Since the enactment of this act, the people of California have adopted Proposition 218, which added Article XIII D to the Constitution in order to place certain requirements and restrictions on the formation of, and activities, expenditures, and assessments by property-based districts. Article XIII D of the Constitution provides that property-based districts may only levy assessments for special benefits. (h) The act amending this section is intended to provide the Legislature’s guidance with regard to this act, its interaction with the provisions of Article XIII D of the Constitution, and the determination of special benefits in property-based districts.
(1) The lack of legislative guidance has resulted in uncertainty and inconsistent application of this act, which discourages the use of assessments to fund needed improvements, maintenance, and activities in property-based districts, contributing to blight and other underutilization of property. (2) Activities undertaken for the purpose of conferring special benefits upon property to be assessed inherently produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not
SBCWID Management District Plan 15
October 25, 2024
assessed. Therefore, for special benefits to exist as a separate and distinct category from general benefits, the incidental or collateral effects of those special benefits are inherently part of those special benefits. The mere fact that special benefits produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed does not convert any portion of those special benefits or their incidental or collateral effects into general benefits. (3) It is of the utmost importance that property-based districts created under this act have clarity regarding restrictions on assessments they may levy and the proper determination of special benefits. Legislative clarity with regard to this act will provide districts with clear instructions and courts with legislative intent regarding restrictions on property-based assessments, and the manner in which special benefits should be determined.
36602. Purpose of part
The purpose of this part is to supplement previously enacted provisions of law that authorize cities to levy assessments within property and business improvement districts, to ensure that those assessments conform to all constitutional requirements and are determined and assessed in accordance with the guidance set forth in this act.
This part does not affect or limit any other provisions of law authorizing or providing for the furnishing of improvements or activities or the raising of revenue for these purposes.
36603. Preemption of authority or charter city to adopt ordinances levying assessments
Nothing in this part is intended to preempt the authority of a charter city to adopt ordinances providing for a different method of levying assessments for similar or additional purposes from those set forth in this part. A property and business improvement district created pursuant to this part is expressly exempt from the provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (Division 4 (commencing with Section 2800)).
36603.5 Part prevails over conflicting provisions
Any provision of this part that conflicts with any other provision of law shall prevail over the other provision of law, as to districts created under this part.
36604. Severability
This part is intended to be construed liberally and, if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Assessments levied under this part are not special taxes.

(2) A time and place for a public hearing on the establishment of the property and business improvement district and the levy of assessments, which shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 36623.
36622. Contents of management district plan
The management district plan shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:
(a) If the assessment will be levied on property, a map of the district in sufficient detail to locate each parcel of property and, if businesses are to be assessed, each business within the district. If the assessment will be levied on businesses, a map that identifies the district boundaries in sufficient detail to allow a business owner to reasonably determine whether a business is located within the district boundaries. If the assessment will be levied on property and businesses, a map of the district in sufficient detail to locate each parcel of property and to allow a business owner to reasonably determine whether a business is located within the district boundaries.
(b) The name of the proposed district.
(c) A description of the boundaries of the district, including the boundaries of benefit zones, proposed for establishment or extension in a manner sufficient to identify the affected property and businesses included, which may be made by reference to any plan or map that is on file with the clerk. The boundaries of a proposed property assessment district shall not overlap with the boundaries of another existing property assessment district created pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit the bou ndaries of a district created pursuant to this part to overlap with other assessment districts established pursuant to other provisions of law, including, but not limited to, the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (Part 6 (commencing with Section 36500)). This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a business assessment district created pursuant to this part to overlap with another business assessment district created pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a bu siness assessment district created pursuant to this part to overlap with a property assessment district created pursuant to this part. (d) The improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each year of operation of the district and the estimated cost thereof. If the improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each year of operation are the same, a description of the first year’s proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities
SBCWID Management District Plan 19
October 25, 2024
and a statement that the same improvements, maintenance, and activities are proposed for subsequent years shall satisfy the requirements of this subdivision.
(e) The total annual amount proposed to be expended for improvements, maintenance, or activities, and debt service in each year of operation of the district. If the assessment is levied on businesses, this amount may be estimated based upon the assessment rate. If the total annual amount proposed to be expended in each year of operation of the district is not significantly different, the amount proposed to be expended in the initial year and a statement that a similar amount applies to subsequent years sha ll satisfy the requirements of this subdivision.
(f) The proposed source or sources of financing, including the proposed method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each property or business owner to calculate the amount of the assessment to be levied against their property or business. The plan also shall state whether bonds will be issued to finance improvements.
(g) The time and manner of collecting the assessments. (h) The specific number of years in which assessments will be levied. In a new district, the maximum number of years shall be five. Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years.
Notwithstanding these limitations, a district created pursuant to this part to finance capital improvements with bonds may levy assessments until the maximum maturity of the bonds. The management district plan may set forth specific increases in assessments for each year of operation of the district. (i) The proposed time for implementation and completion of the management district plan. (j) Any proposed rules and regulations to be applicable to the district. (k)
(1) A list of the properties or businesses to be assessed, including the assessor’s parcel numbers for properties to be assessed, and a statement of the method or methods by which the expenses of a district will be imposed upon benefited real property or businesses, in proportion to the benefit received by the property or business, to defray the cost thereof. (2) In a property-based district, the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined exclusively in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the activities. An assessment shall not be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and a property-based district shall separate the general benefits, if any, from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. Parcels within a property-based district that are owned or used by any city, public agency, the State of California, or the United States shall not be exem pt from assessment unless the governmental entity can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit. The value of any incidental, secondary, or collateral effects that arise from the improvements, maintenance, or activities of a property- based district and that benefit property or persons not assessed shall not be deducted from the entirety of the cost of any special benefit or affect the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel.
(3) In a property-based district, properties throughout the district may share the same special benefits. In a district with boundaries that define which parcels are to receive improvements, maintenance, or activities over and above those services provided by the city, the improvements, maintenance, or activities themselves may constitute a special benefit. The city may impose assessments that are less than the proportional special benefit conferred, but shall not impose assessments that exceed the reasonable costs of the proportional special benefit conferred. Because one or more parcels pay less than the special benefit conferred does not necessarily mean that other parcels are assessed more than the reasonable cost of their special benefit. (l) In a property-based district, a detailed engineer’s report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California supporting all assessments contemplated by the management district plan.
(m) Any other item or matter required to be incorporated therein by the city council.
36623. Procedure to levy assessment
(a) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased property assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure shall comply with Section 53753 of the Government Code. (b) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure shall comply with Section 54954.6 of the Government Code, except that notice shall be
SBCWID Management District Plan 20
October 25, 2024
mailed to the owners of the businesses proposed to be assessed. A protest may be made orally or in writing by any interested person. Every written protest shall be filed with the clerk at or before the time fixed for the public hearing. The city council may waive any irregularity in the form or content of any written protest. A written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing. Each written protest shall contain a description of the business in which the per son subscribing the protest is interested sufficient to identify the business and, if a person subscribing is not shown on the official records of the city as the owner of the business, the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person subscribing is the owner of the business or the authorized representative. A written protest that does not comply with this section shall not be counted in determining a majority protest.
If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the proposed district that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the pr oposed assessment against such businesses, as contained in the resolution of intention, shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the city council. (c) If a city council proposes to conduct a single proceeding to levy both a new or increased property assessment and a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the property assessment shall comply with subdivision (a), and the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the business assessment shall comply with subdivision (b). If a majority protest is received from either the property or business owners, that respective portion of the assessment shall not be levied. The remaining portion of the assessment may be levied unless the improvement or other special benefit was proposed to be funded by assessing both property and business owners.
36624. Changes to proposed assessments
At the conclusion of the public hearing to establish the district, the city council may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify the proposed assessment or the type or types of improvements, maintenance, and activities to be funded with the revenues from the assessments. Proposed assessments may only be revised by reducing any or all of them. At the public hearing, the city council may only make changes in, to, or from the boundaries of the proposed property and business improvement district that will exclude territory that will not benefit from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities. Any modifications, revisions, reductions, or changes to the proposed assessment district shall be reflected in the notice and map recorded pursuant to Section 36627.
36625. Resolution of formation
(a) If the city council, following the public hearing, decides to establish a proposed property and business improvement district, the city council shall adopt a resolution of formation that shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:

The descriptions and statements need not be detailed and shall be sufficient if they enable an owner to generally identify the nature and extent of the improvements, maintenance, and activities and the location and extent of the proposed district. (2) The number, date of adoption, and title of the resolution of intention. (3) The time and place where the public hearing was held concerning the establishment of the district.
(4) A determination regarding any protests received. The city shall not establish the district or levy assessments if a majority protest was received.
(5) A statement that the properties, businesses, or properties and businesses in the district established by the resolution shall be subject to any amendments to this part. (6) A statement that the improvements, maintenance, and activities to be conferred on businesses and properties in the district will be funded by the levy of the assessments. The revenue from the levy of assessments within a district shall not be used to provide improvements, maintenance, or activities outside the district or for any purpose other than the purposes specified in the resolution of intention, as modified by the city council at the hearing concerning establishment of the district.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, improvements and activities that must be provided outside the
SBCWID Management District Plan 21
October 25, 2024
district boundaries to create a special or specific benefit to the assessed parcels or businesses may be provided, but shall be limited to marketing or signage pointing to the district. (7) A finding that the property or businesses within the area of the property and business improvement district will be benefited by the improvements, maintenance, and activities funded by the proposed assessments, and, for a property-based district, that property within the district will receive a special benefit.
(8) In a property-based district, the total amount of all special benefits to be conferred on the properties within the property-based district.

36629. Provisions and procedures applicable to benefit zones and business categories
All provisions of this part applicable to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of a property and business improvement district apply to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of benefit zones or categories of business.

CHAPTER 3: Assessments
36631. Time and manner of collection of assessments; Delinquent payments
The collection of the assessments levied pursuant to this part shall be made at the time and in the manner set forth by the city council in the resolution levying the assessment.

CHAPTER 6. Disestablishment
36670. Circumstances permitting disestablishment of district; Procedure

(2) During the operation of the district, there shall be a 30-day period each year in which assessees may request disestablishment of the district. The first such period shall begin one year after the date of establishment of the district and shall continue for 30 days. The next such 30-day period shall begin two years after the date of the establishment of the district. Each successive year of operation of the district shall have such a 30-day period.
