WHEREAS, the City Council (the “City Council”) of the City of Upland (the “City”) has received a written petition from LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Owner”), the owner of certain real property within the City of Upland (the “City”) requesting that the City Council initiate proceedings for the formation of a community facilities district, pursuant to Chapter
2.5 (commencing with Section 53311) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code, commonly known as the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982,” (the “Act”) for the purpose of financing the public facilities which are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as a result of the development of said real property; and
WHEREAS, the Owner is the owner of all of the property which is proposed to be included within the proposed community facilities district; and WHEREAS, the Act provides that the City Council may initiate proceedings to establish a community facilities district only if it has first considered and adopted local goals and policies concerning the use of community facilities districts; and WHEREAS, the City Council has been presented with its Amended and Restated Goals and Policies for Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts (the “Policies”) for consideration, and the proposed public facilities comply with the Policies; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 53320 of the Act, having received such a petition, the City Council is required to institute proceedings for the formation of the proposed community facilities district by the adoption of a resolution of intention pursuant to Section 53321 of the Act.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Upland hereby finds, determines and resolves as follows:
Section 1. Findings. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. Proposed Community Facilities District. A community facilities district is proposed to be established under the provisions of the Act. The name proposed for the community facilities district is “Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Enclave at Upland) of the City of Upland, County of San Bernardino, State of California” herein referred to as “CFD No. 2022-1.”
Resolution No.
Page. 2
Section 3. Description and Map of Boundaries. The boundaries of the proposed CFD No. 2022-1 are described and shown on the map entitled “Proposed Boundary Map Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Enclave at Upland) of the City of Upland, County of San Bernardino, State of California,” which is on file with the City Clerk. Said map is approved and, pursuant to Section 3110 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the City Clerk shall, after conforming with the other requirements of Section 3111 of said Code, record the original of said map in her office, and not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the public hearing set forth in Section 10 hereof shall file a copy of said map with the County Recorder of the County of San Bernardino.
Section 4. Types of Facilities; Incidental Expenses.
The proposed types of public facilities to be financed by the proposed CFD 2022-1 (the “Facilities”) include but are not limited to:
(a) Facilities owned and operated by the City in lieu of certain City development impact fees, which include, but are not limited to park, traffic, water, sewer, storm drain and other capital improvements, police and fire facilities; and
(b) The incidental expenses proposed to be incurred are: (i) the cost of planning and designing the public facilities and the cost of environmental evaluations thereof, (ii) all costs associated with the formation of the proposed CFD 2022-1, the issuance of the bonds thereof, the determination of the amount of and collection of special taxes, the payment of special taxes, and costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the proposed CFD 2022-1, and (iii) any other expenses incidental to the construction, completion, and inspection of the public Facilities (the “Incidental Expenses”).
Section 5. Special Taxes. Except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax (the “Special Tax”) sufficient to finance the Facilities and related Incidental Expenses secured by the recordation of a continuing lien against all taxable or nonexempt property in CFD No. 2022-1, shall be annually levied within CFD No. 2022-1.
Under no circumstances will Special Taxes levied in any fiscal year against any parcel used for private residential purposes be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels within CFD No. 2022-1 by more than 10 percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. A parcel shall be considered “used for private residential purposes” not later than the date on which an occupancy permit or the equivalent for private residential use is issued for such parcel.
Resolution No.
Page. 3
For further particulars as to the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Taxes to be levied on parcels of taxable property in CFD No. 2022-1 reference is made to the attached and incorporated Exhibit A (the “Rate and Method”) which sets forth in sufficient detail the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Taxes to allow each landowner or resident within CFD No. 2022-1 to clearly estimate the maximum amount that such person will have to pay.
The conditions under which the obligation to pay Special Taxes may be prepaid and permanently satisfied are as set forth in the Rate and Method.
Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, said Special Taxes shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided however, that CFD No. 2022-1 may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent assessor’s parcels as permitted by the Act.
Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien pursuant to Section 3114.5 of the California Streets and Highways Code, a continuing lien to secure each levy of the Special Taxes shall attach to all non-exempt real property in CFD No. 2022-1, and that lien shall continue in force and effect until the special tax obligation is prepaid and permanently satisfied and the lien is canceled in accordance with law or until collection of the Special Taxes ceases.
Section 6. Exempt Properties. Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, and except as provided in Section 53317.3 of the Act, properties of entities of the state, federal, and local governments shall be exempt from the levy of Special Taxes.
Section 7. Necessity. The City Council finds that the Facilities described in Section 4 hereof are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as a result of new development occurring within the boundaries of proposed CFD No. 2022-1.
Section 8. Repayment of Funds Advanced or Work-in-Kind. Pursuant to Section 53314.9 of the Act, the City Council proposes to accept advances of funds or work-in-kind from private persons or private entities and to provide, by resolution, for the use of those funds or that work-in-kind for any authorized purpose, including but not limited to, paying any costs incurred by the City in creating proposed CFD No. 2022-1, and to enter into an agreement, by resolution, with the person or entity advancing the funds or work-in-kind to repay funds advanced, or to reimburse the person or entity for the value, or cost, whichever is less, of the work-in-kind, as determined by the City Council.
Section 9. Prohibition of Owner Contracts. Pursuant to Section 53329.5 of the Act, the City Council finds that the public interest will not be served by allowing the owners of property within proposed CFD No. 2022-1 to enter into a contract in accordance with subdivision (a) of that section, and that such
Resolution No.
Page. 4
owners shall not be permitted to elect to perform the work and enter into a written contract with the City for the construction for the Facilities pursuant to said Section 53329.5.
Section 10. Hearing. A public hearing on the formation of proposed CFD No. 2022-1 shall be held at 7:00 p.m. on June 27, 2022 at the City Council Chamber located at 460 N. Euclid Avenue, Upland, CA 91786 or via teleconference as directed by the City due to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines.
Section 11. Notice of Hearing. The City Clerk shall publish a notice of the time and place of said hearing as required by Section 53322 of the Act, and may also give notice of the time and place of said hearing by first-class mail to each registered voter and to each landowner within CFD No. 2022-1 as prescribed by Section 53322.4 of said Code. Said notice shall be published at least seven (7) days and mailed at least fifteen (15) days before the date of the hearing, and shall contain the information required by said Section 53322.
Section 12. Report. The officers of the City who will be responsible for providing the proposed Facilities to be provided within and financed by proposed CFD No. 2022-1, if it is established, shall study proposed CFD No. 2022-1, and, at or before the time of said hearing, file a report or reports with the City Council containing a brief description of the Facilities by type which will in their opinion be required to adequately meet the needs of proposed CFD No. 2022-1 and their estimate of the fair and reasonable cost of providing the Facilities and the related Incidental Expenses to be incurred in connection therewith. All such reports shall be made a part of the record of the hearing to be held pursuant to Section 10 hereof.
Section 13. Description of Voting Procedures. The voting procedures to be followed shall be pursuant to Section 53326 of the Act and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the California Election Code.
Section 14. Approval of Policies. The Policies are hereby approved as presented to the City Council at this meeting.
Section 15. CEQA. The City Council finds this Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty, as in this case, that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
Section 16. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.
Resolution No.

4. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
For each Fiscal Year, commencing Fiscal Year 2022-23, the CFD Administrator shall levy the Special Tax on all Taxable Property in accordance with the following steps:
Step 1: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax; Step 2: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after Step 1 has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property;
Step 3: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, then the Special Tax amount determined in Step 1 shall be increased Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Developed Property; Step 4: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Provisional Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Provisional Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased as a result of a delinquency or default in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 2022-1 by more than ten percent (10%) above what would have been levied in the absence of such delinquencies or defaults.
5. COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
Collection of the Annual Special Tax shall be made by the County in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected and the Annual Special Tax shall be subject to the same penalties and the same lien priority in the case of delinquency as ad valorem taxes; provided, however, that the Council may provide for (i) other means of collecting the Special Tax, including direct billings thereof to the property owners; and (ii) judicial foreclosure of delinquent Annual Special Taxes.
6. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX OBLIGATION
A. Prepayment in Full
Property owners may prepay and permanently satisfy the Special Tax Obligation by a cash settlement with the City as permitted under Government Code Section 53344. The following definitions apply to this Section 6:
“CFD Public Facilities Costs” means $3,600,000 or such lower number as (i) shall be determined by the CFD Administrator as sufficient to acquire or construct the facilities to be financed under the Act and financing program for CFD No. 2022-1, or (ii) shall be determined by the Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds (except refunding bonds).
A-8
“Construction Fund” means the fund (regardless of its name) established pursuant to the Indenture to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct the facilities or pay fees authorized to be funded by CFD No. 2022-1.
“Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities Costs minus (i) costs previously paid pursuant to the Funding Agreement to acquire or construct the facilities, (ii) monies currently on deposit in the Construction Fund, and (iii) monies currently on deposit in an escrow or other designated fund that are expected to be available to finance CFD Public Facilities Costs pursuant to the Funding Agreement.
“Outstanding Bonds” means all Previously Issued Bonds, which remain outstanding as of the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with proceeds of prior Special Tax prepayments.
“Previously Issued Bonds” means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of prepayment.
The Special Tax Obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued may be prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor’s Parcel only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel eligible to prepay the Special Tax Obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and designate or identify the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the Prepayment Amount for such Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request, and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. Prepayment must be made at least 60 days prior to any redemption date for the CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee and the City.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated for each applicable Assessor’s Parcel or group of Assessor’s Parcels as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Prepayment Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Prepayment Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined in Step 14 below) shall be calculated as follows:
A-9
Step No.:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, determine the Maximum Special Tax. For Assessor’s Parcels of Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum 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. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total expected Maximum Special Tax revenue for CFD No. 2022- 1 assuming all Building Permits have been issued (build-out) within CFD No. 2022-1, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax Obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid for all applicable parcels and round that amount up to the nearest $5,000 increment (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium (expressed as a percentage), if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed at the first available call date (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Compute the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the “Future Facilities Prepayment Amount”).
8. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the expected redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds which, depending on the Indenture, may be as early as the next interest payment date.
9. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Future Facilities Prepayment Amount and the Prepayment Administrative Fees from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
10. Subtract the amount computed in paragraph 9 from the amount computed in paragraph 8 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
11. Calculate the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2022-1, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 2022-1, and
A-10
the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the “Prepayment Administrative Fees”).
12. If reserve funds for the Outstanding Bonds, if any, are at or above 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) on the prepayment calculation date, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the prepayment (the “Reserve Fund Credit”). No Reserve Fund Credit shall be granted if, after the Prepayment Amount is calculated, reserve funds are below 100% of the reserve requirement.
13. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”).
14. The amount to prepay the Special Tax Obligation is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 10, and 11, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 12 and 13 (the “Prepayment Amount”).
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, and 10, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 12 and 13 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make Debt Service payments. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7 shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 11 shall be retained by CFD No. 2022-1.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem an amount other than a $5,000 increment of CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to redeem CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds to be used with the next prepayment of CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds.
The CFD Administrator will confirm that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid in full. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Special Tax Obligation is prepaid in full, once the CFD Administrator has confirmed that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax and the release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of the owner of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the aggregate amount of Maximum Special Taxes less
A-11
Administrative Expenses that may be levied on Taxable Property, respectively, after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds in each Fiscal Year.
B. Partial Prepayment
The Special Tax on an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property or Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued may be partially prepaid.
The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section 6.A.; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
PP = (PE-A) x F+A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section
6.A
F = the percentage by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Special Tax Obligation A = the Prepayment Administrative Fees and Expenses from Section 6.A
The owner of any Assessor’s Parcel who desires such partial prepayment shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax Obligation, (ii) the percentage by which the Special Tax Obligation shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax Obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel within sixty (60) days of the request and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Section 6.A., and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2022-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax Obligation and that a portion of the Special Tax with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the Maximum Special Tax, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no partial prepayment shall be allowed unless the aggregate amount of Maximum Special Taxes less Administrative Expenses that may be levied on Taxable Property, respectively, after the proposed partial prepayment is at least 1.1 times the Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds in each Fiscal Year.
7. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied as long as necessary to meet the Special Tax Requirement for a period not to exceed forty (40) Fiscal Years commencing with Fiscal Year 2022-23, provided however that the Special Tax will cease to be levied in an
A-12
earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all Bonds that are expected to be issued have been issued and all required interest and principal payments on all Outstanding Bonds have been paid.
8. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify as Exempt Property (i) Assessor’s Parcels of Public Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Property Owner Association Property, or (iii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as places of worship and are exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, and (v) Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property classified as Non-Residential Property as determined reasonably by the CFD Administrator, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property in CFD No. 2022-1 to less than 8.90 Acres. Assessor’s Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property in CFD No. 2022-1 to less than 8.90 Acres shall be classified as Provisional Property and will continue to be subject to the CFD No. 2022-1 Special Taxes accordingly. Tax exempt status for the purpose of this paragraph will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes eligible for classification as Exempt Property.
If the use of an Assessor’s Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such Assessor’s Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in the first paragraph of Section 8 above that would make such Assessor’s Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt Property, such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease to be classified as Exempt Property and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
9. APPEALS
Any landowner who pays the Special Tax and claims the amount of the Special Tax levied on his or her Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such error not later than thirty-six (36) months after first having paid the first installment of the Special Tax that is disputed. If following such consultation the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred, then the CFD Administrator shall take any of the following actions, in order of priority, in order to correct the error:
(i) Amend the Special Tax levy on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) for the current Fiscal Year prior to the payment date,
(ii) Require the CFD to reimburse the landowner for the amount of the overpayment to the extent of available CFD funds, or
(iii) Grant a credit against, eliminate or reduce the future Special Taxes on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) in the amount of the overpayment.
If following such consultation and action by the CFD Administrator the landowner believes such error still exists, such person may file a written notice of appeal with the City Council. Upon the receipt of such notice, the City Council or designee may establish such procedures as deemed necessary to undertake the review of any such appeal. If the City Council or designee determines an error still exists, the CFD
A-13
Administrator shall take any of the actions described as (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in order of priority, in order to correct the error.
The City Council or designee thereof shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for purposes of clarifying any ambiguities and make determinations relative to the administration of the Special Tax and any landowner appeals. The decision of the City Council or designee shall be final.
