RESOLUTION NO. 2025-___

RESOLUTION OF INTENTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR TO INCUR BONDED INDEBTEDNESS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $10,000,000 WITHIN PROPOSED COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2025-1 (CAMELIA) OF THE CITY OF

WILDOMAR
SUMMARY:

Approval of these resolutions, establishes the City's intention to form CFD No. 2025-1 (Camelia), and to incur bonded indebtedness in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000. It also authorizes the City Manager to enter into a Reimbursement Agreement with the Developer.

BACKGROUND:

KB Home Cal Management Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Developer) owns 22.15 gross acres of property within the City which is proposed to be developed into 163 single family residential homes. Such property is generally located to the southeast of a newly established intersection of Washington Avenue and a newly extended Jefferson Avenue on the border of the City of Murrieta. The Developer has requested that the City form a Community Facilities District (CFD No 2025-1 (Camelia)) to encompass the property in accordance with the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the Act), to finance the costs of certain public improvements through the levy of a special tax and the issuance of bonds. The maximum amount of bonded indebtedness proposed is $10,000,000.

DISCUSSION:

The Developer has requested that the boundaries of CFD No. 2025-1 (Camelia) include the 288
area described in Attachment A of the Resolution of Intention to Establish CFD No. 2025-1 (Attachment 1), and that special taxes be levied within the boundaries of the District in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) described in Attachment C to the Resolution of Intention. The public improvements eligible to be financed by CFD 2025-1 are described in Attachment B to the Resolution of Intention. The Resolution of Intention is the first step in the process of forming CFD No. 2025-1. The attached Resolutions declare the City's intention to establish CFD No. 2025-1, its intention to incur bonded indebtedness by CFD No. 2025-1, and calls for a public hearing. A public hearing on the matter will take place on December 10, 2025, and at that time the Council will formally consider approval to form CFD No. 2025-1, and hold elections on the approval of the special taxes and the need to incur bonded indebtedness within CFD No. 2025-1.

The Developer has made a deposit to pay for the costs of the formation proceedings. This deposit may be reimbursed to the Developer once bonds are sold, in accordance with the reimbursement agreement (Attachment 3). If established, and subject to necessary Council and voter approvals, CFD No. 2025-1 will annually levy special taxes on all of the taxable property within the District in accordance with the RMA, attached to the Resolution of Intention. Such special taxes will be used to pay for the costs of facilities, debt service on bonds, and administration of CFD No. 2025-1. The RMA provides that the annual special tax rates in the first year will range from $2,426 for home sizes less than 1,500 square feet up to $2,822 for home sizes greater than 1,700 square feet, with rates escalating at 2% per year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the City. Costs of formation will be paid by the developer through a prepaid deposit. Any bonds issued by CFD No. 2025-1 are not obligations of the City and will be secured solely by the Special Taxes levied within CFD No. 2025-1.

provide for the reimbursement of certain amounts advanced by the Developer in connection with the formation of the District; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct.

SECTION 2. A community facilities district is proposed to be established under the terms of the Act. It is further proposed that the boundaries of the community facilities district shall be the legal boundaries as described in Attachment “A” hereto, which boundaries shall, upon recordation of the boundary map for the District, include the entirety of any parcel subject to taxation by the District, and as depicted on the map of the proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 which is on file wit h the City Clerk. The City Clerk is hereby directed to sign the original map of the District and record it with all proper endorsements thereon with the Assessor -County Clerk - Recorder of the County of Riverside within 15 days after the adoption of this re solution, all as required by Section 3111 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.

SECTION 3. The name of the proposed community facilities district shall be “Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Camelia) of the City of Wildomar.” SECTION 4. The Facilities proposed to be provided within Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 are public facilities as defined in the Act, which the City, and the Water District, with respect to certain water and sewer facilities, are authorized by law to construct, acquire, own and operate. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the description of the Facilities herein is sufficiently informative to allow taxpayers within the proposed District to understand what the funds of the District ma y be used to finance. The Incidental Expenses expected to be incurred include the cost of planning and designing the Facilities, the costs of forming the District, issuing bonds and levying and collecting the Special Tax within the proposed District. The Facilities may be acquired from one or more of the property owners within the District as completed public improvements or may be constructed from bond or Special Tax proceeds.

All or a portion of the Facilities may be purchased with District funds as comp leted public facilities pursuant to Section 53314.9 or as discrete portions or phases pursuant to Section 53313.51 of the Act and/or constructed with District funds pursuant to Section 53316.2 of the Act. Any portion of the Facilities may be financed thro ugh a lease or lease-purchase arrangement if the District hereafter determines that such arrangement is of benefit to the District.

3 4898-1304-9450v4/200945-0009
indebtedness issued to finance the Facilities and Incidental Expenses, including the establishment and replenishment of any reserve funds deemed necessary by the District, and any remarketing, credit enhancem ent and liquidity facility fees (including such fees for instruments which serve as the basis of a reserve fund in lieu of cash).

The rate and method of apportionment and manner of collection of the Special Tax are described in detail in Attachment “C” at tached hereto, which Attachment “C” is incorporated herein by this reference. Attachment “C” allows each landowner within the District to estimate the maximum amount of the Special Tax that may be levied against each parcel. In the first year in which su ch Special Tax is levied, the levy shall include an amount sufficient to repay to the District all amounts, if any, transferred to the District pursuant to Section 53314 of the Act and interest thereon.

If the Special Tax is levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes, (i) the maximum Special Tax rate shall be specified as a dollar amount which shall be calculated and established not later than the date on which the parcel is first sub ject to the Special Tax because of its use for private residential purposes and shall not be increased over time, except as set forth in Attachment “C” hereto, (ii) such Special Tax shall not be levied after fiscal year 2065-66 as described in Attachment “ C” hereto, and (iii) under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied in any fiscal year against any such parcel used for private residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parce ls within the District by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.

The Special Tax is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real propert y within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 will place on the Facilities and on the benefit that each parcel derives from the right to access the Facilities. The City Council hereby determines that the proposed Facilities are necessary to m eet the increased demand placed upon the City and the existing infrastructure in the City as a result of the development of the land proposed for inclusion in the District. The City Council hereby determines the rate and method of apportionment of the spe cial tax with respect to the Special Tax set forth in Attachment “C” to be reasonable. The Special Tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such special tax is not on or based upon the value or ow nership of real property. In the event that a portion of the property within Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the Special Tax specified on Attachment “C,” the City Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 2025-1, cause the levy to be increased, subject to the limitation of the maximum Special Tax for a parcel as set forth in Attachment “C,” to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within propos ed Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 which is not exempt in order to yield the Special Tax revenues required for the purposes described in this Section 5. The obligation to pay the Special Tax may be prepaid only as set forth in Section G of Attachment “C” hereto.

SECTION 6. A public hearing (the “Hearing”) on the establishment of the proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-1, the proposed rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax and the proposed issuance of bonds to finance the 292

If held, the proposed voting procedure at the election will be a landowner vote with each landowner who is the owner of record of land within the District at the close of the Hearing, or the authorized representative thereof, having one vote for each acre or portion thereof owned within the proposed District. Ballots for the special election may be distributed by mail or by personal service.

SECTION 7. At the time and place set forth above for the Hearing, the City Council will receive testimony as to whether the proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 shall be established and as to the method of apportionment of the special tax and shall consider:

SECTION 8. At the time and place se t forth above for the Hearing, any interested person, including all persons owning lands or registered to vote within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-1, may appear and be heard.

For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property, c ompute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.

3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Maximum Special Taxes that could be levied assuming build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid. 310

C-12
4898-1304-9450v4/200945-0009

4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).

5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).

6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.

7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).

10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount.

11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).

12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).

13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of:
(a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.

14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount 311

C-13
4898-1304-9450v4/200945-0009
and the Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.

From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The Future Facili ties Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.

The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.

As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assesso r’s Parcel for which the Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Asses sor’s Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.

2. Approve a construction contract contingency increase from 5% to 10% and authorize the Public Works Director/City Engineer to approve change orders not to exceed 10% of the construction contract amount, in the amount of $769,569 (contingency).

SUMMARY:

This item includes a budget adjustment and contingency adjustment for the Palomar St.

Widening and Cemetery Improvements Projects.

326
BACKGROUND:

On October 9, 2024, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a construction contract with Van Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $7,695,693 for the Palomar Street Widening, Phase 2, and Cemetery Improvements, Phase 1, Projects (CIP 028-2 and 067-1) ("Projects"). Separately, the City Council also authorized the Public Works Director to approve change orders not to exceed 5% of the construction contract amount (contingency).

DISCUSSION:

As part of the FY 25/26 budget adoption process, staff projected the amount of work that was expected to be complete by the end of FY 24/25 and the amount of work that would be left for FY 25/26. The Projects' FY 25/26 budgets were estimated based on those projections. At the time, staff estimated that construction would be 50% complete in FY 24/25 with 50% of the work remaining in FY 25/26. Based on actual progress, there were less than projected expenditures in FY 24/25 leaving more of the Projects' total expenditures for FY 25/26. As a result, a budget adjustment is necessary to ensure there are adequate funds in the budget for the remaining Construction and Construction Administration/Inspection expenditures.

As construction has progressed, additional work has been or is planned to be authorized with the contractor under the previously approved 5% contingency including, but not limited to:
1 .

An extension of street improvements on Gruwell Street towards Orange Street 2 .

Addition of battery backup equipment to the traffic signal improvements 3 .

Relocation of a backflow prevention device (reimbursable by EVMWD) 4 .

Installation of geo fabric for pavement subgrade stabilization 5 .

Additional pavement quantities to account for utilities needing to be relocated

With the costs for the additional work above considered, staff is recommending that the City Council approve an increase in the Projects' contingency from 5% to 10% and authorize the Public Works Director/City Engineer to approve change orders not to exceed 10% of the construction contract for a total contract allowance of $8,465,263. This will allow staff to negotiate any future construction contract change orders with Van Engineering required to complete the final phases of construction for the Projects. A corresponding budget adjustment is necessary to cover the added contingency.

Due to cost savings in other Capital Improvement Projects, staff is recommending adding funds from Bond Proceeds (Fund 510) into the Projects' budgets. Bond Proceeds must be expended within a specified timeframe, whereas other funds in the Projects (e.g., Measure AA, TUMF, etc...) do not have a specific expenditure deadline. As part of the Projects' accounting, staff can pay eligible expenditures out of Bond Proceeds first and save other fund sources for other future projects.

At the conclusion of the Projects and upon acceptance, staff will bring forward a final expenditure summary and a final budget adjustment for the Projects that will take into account bid items that have an underperformance of quantity and any other unused funds that can be returned to the City's budget.

ACTING IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2025-2 (WESTPARK PROMENADE) OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR

AUTHORIZING THE LEVY OF SPECIAL TAXES
334
SUMMARY:

Adoption of these resolutions and first reading of the Ordinance are required to form CFD 2025-2 (Westpark Promenade), calling an election, authorizing the levy of a Special Tax, and determining the necessity to incur bonded indebtedness in an amount not to exceed 17,000,000

BACKGROUND:

CRP/CWR Westpark Project, LLC. (the Developer), a Delaware limited liability company, owns 12.27 gross acres of property within Wildomar which is proposed to be developed into 191 single family residential homes. Such property is generally located to the east of the future Westpark Street, north of the future Catt Road, and south of existing Depasquale Road, which is situated northeast of the Clinton Keith Interchange. The Developer has requested that the City form Community Facilities District 2025-2 (Westpark Promenade) (the District) to encompass the property in accordance with the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (the Act), to finance the costs of certain public improvements through the levy of a special tax and the issuance of bonds. The maximum amount of bonded indebtedness proposed is $17 million.

On September 10, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution Nos. 2025-47 and 2025-48, which declared the City's intention to establish the District, the intention to incur bonded indebtedness within the District, and calling for a public hearing to be held on October 13, 2025. The purpose of the public hearing is for the City Council to formally consider the approval of the formation of CFD 2025-2 (Westpark Promenade), the approval of the levy of the special taxes within the District, and the issuance of bonds to finance the public improvements benefitting the District. Notice of the Public Hearing was published in a newspaper of general circulation in the District and mailed to the property owner in accordance with the Act.

DISCUSSION:

In connection with the public hearing, Spicer Consulting Group prepared a CFD Public Hearing Report (Attachment 5), which describes and analyzes the facilities to be financed by the District, and the estimated costs of such facilities. Following the close of the public hearing, the City Council will be asked to adopt the Resolution of Formation (Attachment 1) and the Resolution Determining the Necessity to Incur Debt (Attachment 2) which, together approves the formation of the District, the levy of the special taxes in the District in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment of special taxes for the District (the RMA) and determines the necessity for the District to issue bonds in an amount not to exceed $17 million for the District. Such resolutions call for an election to submit to the qualified voters of the District, ballot measures on the approval of the special taxes, the issuance of the bonds, and an appropriations limit for the District.

The Resolution of Formation also approves the execution and delivery of the Funding Agreement with the Developer (Attachment 6) and a Joint Community Facilities Agreement (JCFA) with the Developer and Lake Elsinore Unified School District (Attachment 7) in the forms presented to the Council. The Funding Agreement sets forth the terms, among others, pursuant to which the District will finance District improvements. Under the Act, the District may finance certain facilities owned by another public agency so long as there is a Joint Community Facilities Agreement with respect to such facilities. The School District JCFA provides for the terms by which the District is authorized to finance school facilities to be owned and operated by the School District. On September 10, 2025, the City Council 335
approved a Joint Community Facilities Agreement with the Developer and Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, which provides terms by which the District is authorized to finance water and sewer facilities to be owned and operated by the Water District.

On file with the City Clerk is a Certificate of the Registrar of Voters of Riverside County certifying that there are no registered voters residing within the boundaries of the District (Attachment 8). Accordingly, under the Mello-Roos Act, only property owners owning land in the District are eligible to vote at the election for the District with each owner having one vote for each acre (or portion thereof) that they own within the District. The Developer has executed a consent and waiver of certain election procedures with respect to the election, including certain timing requirements with respect to the election, in accordance with the Mello-Roos Act. Accordingly, if the City Council approves the Resolution of Formation and the Resolution Determining the Necessity to Incur Debt, the City Clerk will conduct the election. The City Clerk will announce the election results and the City Council will be asked to adopt the Resolution Certifying the Election Results. Based upon certification that 2/3rds of the votes cast are in favor of the propositions voted upon in the District, the Resolution Certifying the Election Results directs the City Clerk to record a notice of special tax lien on the property within the District. The City Council will then be asked to introduce the Ordinance authorizing the levy of the special tax within the District in accordance with the RMA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the General Fund to form the District. Costs of formation are paid out of a deposit made by the developer. This deposit may be reimbursed once bonds are sold in accordance with a reimbursement agreement previously approved by the City Council.

If established and subject to necessary Council and voter approvals, the District will annually levy special taxes on all of the taxable property within the District in accordance with the RMA.

Such special taxes will be used to pay for the costs of facilities, debt service on bonds and administration of CFD No. 2025-2. Any bonds issued by the District are not obligations of the City and will be secured solely by the special taxes levied within CFD No. 2025-2.

The RMA provides that the annual special tax rates for FY 2025-26 will range form $3,550 for home sizes less than 1,200 square fee up to $4,595 for home sizes greater that 1,600 square fee. Rates escalate at 2% per year.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Each of the above recitals is true and correct.

Section 2. A community facilities district to be designated “Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 (Westpark Promenade ) of the City of Wildomar” is hereby established pursuant to the Act. The City Council hereby finds and determines that all prior proceedings ta ken with respect to the establishment of the District were valid and in conformity with the requirements of law, including the Act. This finding is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 53325.1(b) of the Act. 338

3 4921-3177-4314v4/200945-0007
Section 3. The boundaries of Community Facili ties District No. 2025-2 are established as shown on the map designated “Proposed Boundary Map Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 (Westpark Promenade) of the City of Wildomar, County of Riverside, State of California”, which map is on file in the off ice of the City Clerk and was recorded pursuant to Sections 3111 and 3113 of the Streets and Highways Code in the County Book of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts in the Assessor-County Clerk -Recorder’s office of the County of Riverside in Book No. 97, Page No. 27 on September 16, 2025 as Instrument No. 2025-0283842.

Section 4. The types of Facilities and Incidental Expenses authorized to be provided for Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 are those set forth in Attachment A attached hereto. The estimated cost of the Facilities and Incidental Expenses to be financed is set forth in the Engineer’s Report, which estimates may change as the Facilities are designed and bid for construction and acquisition, as applicable.

The City is authorized by the Act to contribute revenue to, or to construct or acquire the Facilities, all in accordance with the Act. The City Council finds and determines that the proposed Facilities are necessary to meet the increased demand that will be placed upon local agencies and public infrastructure as a result of new development within the District and that the Facilities to be financed, including those to be financed pursuant the JCFA to be entered into with the School District and the joint community facilities agreement entered into with the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District , benefit residents of the City and the future residents of the District.

Section 5. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of this City Council, subject to the approval of th e eligible voters of the District, to levy annually a Special Tax at the rates set forth in the Rate and Method on all non -exempt property within the District sufficient to pay for (i) the Facilities, (ii) the principal and interest and other periodic cost s on the bonds proposed to be issued to finance the Facilities and Incidental Expenses, including the establishment and replenishment of reserve funds, any remarketing, credit enhancement and liquidity facility fees and other expenses of the type permitted by Section 53345.3 of the Act; and (iii) the Incidental Expenses. The District expects to incur, and in certain cases has already incurred, Incidental Expenses in connection with the creation of the District, the issuance of bonds, the levying and collecting of the Special Tax, the completion and inspection of the Facilities and the annual administration of the bonds and the District. The Rate and Method is described in detail in Attachment C to Resolution No. 2025-47 and incorporated herein by this reference, and the City Council hereby finds that the Rate and Method contains sufficient detail to allow each landowner within the District to estimate the maximum amount that may be levied against each parcel. As described in greater detail in the Engineer’s Report, which is incorporated by reference herein, the Special Tax is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 will place on the Facilities and on the benefit that each parcel will derive from the right to access the Facilities and, accordingly, is hereby determined to be reasonable. The Special Tax shall be levied on each assessor’s parcel in accordance with the Rate and Method provided, however, that the Special Tax shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 20 70-71. The Special Tax is apportioned to each parcel on 339

4 4921-3177-4314v4/200945-0007
the foregoing bases pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such Special Tax is not on or based upon the ownership of real property or the assessed value of real property.

If Special Taxes of the District are levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes, (i) the maximum Special Tax rate shall be specified as a dollar amount which shall be calculated and established not later than the date on which the parce l is first subject to the Special Tax because of its use for private residential purposes and shall not be increased over time except as authorized under the Rate and Method, (ii) the Special Tax shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2070-71, and (iii) under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any such parcel used for private residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within the District by more than ten percent above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.

The City Manager of the City of Wildomar, will be responsible for preparing annually, or authorizing a designee to prepare, a current roll of special tax levy obligations by assessor’s parcel number and will be responsible for estimating future special tax levies pursuant to Section 53340.2 of the Act.

Section 6. In the event that a portion of the property within Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the Special Tax specified in the Rate and Method, or in the event of delinquencies in the payment of Special Taxes levied, subject to the maximum special taxes specified in the Rate and Method, the City Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 2025-2, increase the levy to the extent necessary and permitted by law and these proceedings upon the remaining property within Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 which is not exempt or delinquent in order to yield the required debt service payments on any outstanding bonds of the District, or to prevent the District from defaulting on any of its other obligations or liabilities; provided, however, under n o circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any parcel used for private residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within the District by more than ten percent abov e the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. The amount of the Special Tax will be set in accordance with the Rate and Method. The obligation to pay Special Taxes may be prepaid onl y as set forth in Section G of the Rate and Method.

Section 7. Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien pursuant to Section 3114.5 of the Streets and Highways Code, a continuing lien to secure each levy of the Special Tax shall attach to all non-exempt real property in the District and this lien shall continue in force and effect until the Special Tax obligation is prepaid and permanently satisfied and the lien canceled in accordance with law or until collection of the Special Tax by the District ceases.

Section 8. Consistent with Section 53325.6 of the Act, the City Council finds and determines that the land within Community Facilities District No. 2025-2, if any, devoted 340

5 4921-3177-4314v4/200945-0007
primarily to agricultural, timber or livestock uses and being used for the commercial production of agricultural, timber or livestock products is contiguous to other land within Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 and will be benefited by the Facilities proposed to be provided within Community Facilities District No. 2025-2.

Section 9. It is hereby further det ermined that there is no ad valorem property tax currently being levied on property within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 for the exclusive purpose of paying the principal of or interest on bonds or other indebtedness incurred to finance the construction of capital facilities which provide the same services to the territory of Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 as are proposed to be provided by the Facilities to be financed by Community Facilities District No. 2025-2.

Section 10. Written protes ts against the establishment of the District have not been filed by one-half or more of the registered voters within the boundaries of the District or by the property owners of one -half (1/2) or more of the area of land within the District.

The City Council hereby finds that the proposed Special Tax has not been precluded by a majority protest pursuant to Section 53324 of the Act.

Section 11. An election is hereby called for Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 on the propositions of levying the Special Tax on the property within Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 and establishing an appropriations limit for the District pursuant to Section 53325.7 of the Act and shall be consolidated with the election on the proposition of incurring bonded indebtedness, purs uant to Sections 53351 and 53353.5 of the Act.

Accordingly, since there were fewer than 12 registered voters within the District for each of the 90 days preceding October 13, 2025 , the qualified electors shall be the landowners within the District and each landowner, or the authorized representative thereof, shall have one vote for each acre or portion thereof t hat such landowner owns within Community Facilities District No. 2025-2, as provided in Section 53326 of the Act.

Public Hearing Report
The Rate and Method of Apportionment allows each property owner within CFD No. 2025-2 to estimate the annual Special Tax amount that would be required for payment. The Rate and Method of Apportionment of the Special Tax established pursuant to these proceedings, is attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Rate and Method”). The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties, the same procedure, sale and lien priority in the case of delinquency; provided, however, that the CFD Administrator may directly bill the Special Taxes, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 2025-2, and provided further that CFD No. 2025-2 may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on parcels having delinquent Special Taxes as permitted by the Act.

All of the property located within CFD No. 2025-2, unless exempted by law or by the Rate and Method proposed for CFD No. 2025-2, shall be taxed for the purpose of providing necessary facilities to serve the District. The Boundary Map for CFD No. 2025-2 is attached hereto as Appendix B. Pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act, the tax imposed “is a Special Tax and not a special assessment, and there is no requirement that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any property.” The Special Tax may be based on the benefit received by property, the co st of making facilities or authorized services available or other reasonable basis as determined by the City, although the Special Tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem basis pursuant to Articl e XIIIA of the California Constitution. A property owner within the District may choose to prepay in whole or in part the Special Tax. The available method for so doing is described in Section G of the Rate and Method (“Prepayment of Special Tax”).

For each year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all parcels subject to the Special Tax. If any delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected prior to or after all Bonds are retired, the Special Tax may be levied to the extent necessary to reimburse CFD No. 2025-2 for uncollected Special Taxes associated with the levy of such Special Taxes, but the Special Tax shall not be levied after 2070-2071 Fiscal Year.

378

City of Wildomar
Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 (Westpark Promenade) Page 10

2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Prop erty, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Ma ximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.

3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Maximum Special Taxes that could be levied assumi ng build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.

5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).

6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.

8. Determine 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 earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax prepayments.

Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 (Westpark Promenade) Page 11

redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayme nt from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.

14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeas ance Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.

15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Rede mption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fu nd. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.

The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increm ent of Bonds. In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.

As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suit able notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Tax oblig ation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.

Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the City Council.

2. Prepayment in Part

The Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property, or Provisional Undeveloped Pr operty may be partially prepaid. For purposes of determining the Partial Prepayment Amount, the provisio ns of Section G.1 shall be modified as provided by the following formula:

PP = ((P
E – A) x F) + A
These terms have the following meaning:

PP = Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1 F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the 380

City of Wildomar
Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 (Westpark Promenade) Page 12

Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1 The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CF D Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the Partial Prepayment Amount. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prep ayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount.

With respect to any Assessor’s Parc el for which the Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayme nt Amount as provided in Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a partial prepayment for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of the applicable Special Tax will continue to be levied on the Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.

H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX

For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all Assessor’s Parcels subject to the Special Tax pursuant to Section E. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2070-2071 Fiscal Year, however, Special Taxes will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2025-2 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2025-2 have been acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Sp ecial Taxes remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2025-2 have been satisfied.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct.

SECTION 2. A community facilities district is proposed to be established under the terms of the Act. It is further proposed that the boundaries of the community facilities district shall be the legal boundaries as described in Attachment " A" hereto, which boundaries shall, upon recordation of the boundary map for the District, include the entirety of any parcel subject to taxation by the District, and as depicted on the map of the proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 which is on file with the City Clerk. The City Clerk is hereby directed to sign the original map of the District and record it with all proper endorsements thereon with the Assessor -County Clerk -Recorder of the County of Riverside within 15 days after the adoption of this resolution, all as required by Section 3111 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.

SECTION 3. The name of the proposed community facilities district shall be "Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 (Westpark Promenade) of the City of Wildomar." SECTION 4. The Facilities proposed to be provided within Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 are public facilities as defined in the Act, which the City, the Water District, with respect to certain water and sewer facilities, and the School District, with respect to certain school facilities, are authorized by law to construct, acquire, own and operate.

The City Council hereby finds and determines that the description of the Facilities herein is sufficiently informative to allow taxpayers within the proposed District to understand what the funds of the District may be used to finance. The Incidental Expenses expected to be incurred include the cost of planning and designing the Facilities, the costs of forming the District, issuing bonds and levying and collecting the Special Tax within the proposed District. The Facilities may be acquired from one or more of the property owners within the District as completed public improvements or may be constructed from bond or Special Tax proceeds.
2 387
All or a portion of the Facilities may be purchased with District funds as completed public facilities pursuant to Section 53314.9 or as discrete portions or phases pursuant to Section 53313.51 of the Act and/or constructed with District funds pursuant to Section 53316.2 of the Act. Any portion of the Facilities may be financed through a lease or lease - purchase arrangement if the District hereafter determines that such arrangement is of benefit to the District.

SECTION 5. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the City Council to levy annually in accordance with the procedures contained in the Act the Special Tax, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the District, sufficient to pay for: ( i) the Facilities and Incidental Expenses; and ii) the principal and interest and other periodic costs on bonds or other indebtedness issued to finance the Facilities and Incidental Expenses, including the establishment and replenishment of any reserve funds deemed necessary by the District, and any remarketing, credit enhancement and liquidity facility fees ( including such fees for instruments which serve as the basis of a reserve fund in lieu of cash). The rate and method of apportionment and manner of collection of the Special Tax are described in detail in Attachment "C" attached hereto, which Attachment "C" is incorporated herein by this reference. Attachment " C" allows each landowner within the District to estimate the maximum amount of the Special Tax that may be levied against each parcel. In the first year in which such Special Tax is levied, the levy shall include an amount sufficient to repay to the District all amounts, if any, transferred to the District pursuant to Section 53314 of the Act and interest thereon.

If the Special Tax is levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes, ( i) the maximum Special Tax rate shall be specified as a dollar amount which shall be calculated and established not later than the date on which the parcel is first subject to the Special Tax because of its use for private residential purposes and shall not be increased over time, except as set forth in Attachment " C" hereto, ( ii) such Special Tax shall not be levied after fiscal year 2070- 71 as described in Attachment " C" hereto, and ( iii) under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied in any fiscal year against any such parcel used for private residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within the District by more than ten percent ( 10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.

The Special Tax is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 will place on the Facilities and on the benefit that each parcel derives from the right to access the Facilities. The City Council hereby determines that the proposed Facilities are necessary to meet the increased demand placed upon the City and the existing infrastructure in the City as a result of the development of the land proposed for inclusion in the District. The City Council hereby determines the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax with respect to the Special Tax set forth in Attachment " C" to be reasonable. The Special Tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325. 3 of the Act and such special tax is not on or based upon the value or ownership of real property. In the event that a portion of the property within Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2 shall become 3 388
for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the Special Tax specified on Attachment " C," the City Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2, cause the levy to be increased, subject to the limitation of the maximum Special Tax for a parcel as set forth in Attachment " C," to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2 which is not exempt in order to yield the Special Tax revenues required for the purposes described in this Section

5. The obligation to pay the Special Tax may be prepaid only as set forth in Section G of Attachment " C" hereto.

A public hearing ( the " Hearing") on the establishment of the proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2, the proposed rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax and the proposed issuance of bonds to finance the Facilities and the Incidental Expenses shall be held at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, on October 13, 2025, at the City Council Chambers, 23873 Clinton Keith Road, Suite 106, Wildomar, California 92595. Should the City Council determine to form the District, a special election will be held to authorize the issuance of the bonds and the levy of the Special Tax in accordance with the procedures contained in Government Code Section 53326. If held, the proposed voting procedure at the election will be a landowner vote with each landowner who is the owner of record of land within the District at the close of the Hearing, or the authorized representative thereof, having one vote for each acre or portion thereof owned within the proposed District. Ballots for the special election may be distributed by mail or by personal service.

SECTION 7. At the time and place set forth above for the Hearing, the City Council will receive testimony as to whether the proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2 shall be established and as to the method of apportionment of the special tax and shall consider:
a) if an ad valorem property tax is currently being levied on property within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2 for the exclusive purpose of paying principal of or interest on bonds, lease payments or other indebtedness incurred to finance construction of capital facilities; and
b) if the capital facilities to be financed and constructed by Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2 will provide the same services as were provided by the capital facilities mentioned in subsection ( a); and
c) if the City Council makes the findings specified in subsections ( a) and ( b) above, it will consider appropriate action to determine whether the total annual amount of ad valorem property tax revenue due from parcels within Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2, for purposes of paying principal and interest on the debt identified in subsection a) above, shall not be increased after the date on which Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2 is established, or after a later date determined by the City Council with the concurrence of the legislative body which levied the property tax in question. 4 389
SECTION 8. At the time and place set forth above for the Hearing, any interested person, including all persons owning lands or registered to vote within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2, may appear and be heard.

SECTION 10. The District may accept advances of funds or work -in -kind from any source, including, but not limited to, private persons or private entities, for any authorized purpose, including, but not limited to, paying any cost incurred in creating Community Facilities District No. 2025- 2. The District may enter into an agreement with the person or entity advancing the funds or work -in -kind, to repay all or a portion of the 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, with or without interest.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed between the respective parties as follows:

SECTION 1. DEVELOPER DEPOSIT
At Developer’s request, the City undertook the formation of the Community Facilities District. The Developer has advanced to the City $75,000 related to the costs of such formation proceedings, all of which shall be eligible for reimbursement from the CFD. Such advances, any additional advances and the reimbursement thereof from proceeds of bonds (the “Bonds”) issued by the Community Facilities District shall be governed by the Reimbursement Agreement dated as of September 10, 2025, by and between the City and the Developer.

SECTION 2. SALE OF BONDS

2.1 City Policy and Requirements for the Issuance of Bonds . The total annual amount of the special taxes to be collected with respect to a parcel within the CFD and all other taxes and assessments which will be collected with respect to such parcel must not exceed two percent (2%) of the expected assessed value of s uch parcel within the Community Facilities District upon the completion of all expected structural improvements to such parcel . Such assessed value may be based on the actual sales price of such parcel to the initial purchaser.

The parties hereby agre e that, unless waived by the City, at the time of issuance of the Bonds, the following requirements shall be met: (1) the ratio of the value of all parcels of property for which the Bonds are being issued to the amount of outstanding community facilities district or assessment district bonds attributable to such parcels (the “Value -to-Lien Ratio”) may not be less than four-to-one (4:1) and (2) at least 50% of the proposed residential units within the Community Facilities District shall have been completed a nd conveyed to individual homeowners. The fair market value of the property within the Community Facilities District for purposes of determining the foregoing ratio will be determined based on the assessed value of the property or the appraised value of t he property based on the appraisal made by an appraiser selected by the City with a valuation date within ninety (90) days of the issuance of the Bonds. Subject to satisfaction of the Policy and the requirements of this Agreement, the City shall use its b est efforts to issue and sell the Bonds in one or more series in an amount sufficient to fund the Improvements in accordance with the schedule for development of the Developer Property.

2.2 Security for Payment of Special Taxes.
(a) Concurrently with the issuanc e and sale of each series of the Bonds, the owner of any land within the Community Facilities District which the City has determined, in its sole discretion, to use in the sizing of such series of Bonds (the “Sizing Property”), together with any Sizing Property owned by any affiliate (collectively, an “Account Party”), for which the Maximum Special Taxes for the then -current fiscal year (as defined in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for the CFD ( the “Rate and Method”) and such Special Tax referred to herein as the “Special Tax” or “Special Taxes”), are equal to or exceed 20% of the aggregate Maximum Special Taxes authorized to be levied on the Sizing Property in such fiscal year, shall deliver to the City either (i) a renewable irrevoc able instrument of credit from a financial institution (rated “A” or better, or otherwise approved by the City) and approved by the City, or (ii) cash in -lieu thereof (a “Security”). The Security shall be in an amount calculated by multiplying the Special Tax Requirement (as defined in the Rate and Method) for the then current and following fiscal year, by the percentage of the Maximum Special Taxes for the current fiscal year allocable to the Developer Property owned by the Account Party (the “Stated 413

3 4919-7249-5723v4/200945-0007
Amount). The Security shall be maintained by the Account Party in each fiscal year until terminated in accordance with Section 2.2(c) below . While the Security is still required, the Stated Amount of such Security shall be reduced as set forth in a “Certific ate of Reduction or Termination (as defined in Section 2.2(c) below).

The Security shall name the City, or its designee, as a beneficiary and shall provide that the City, or its designee, may draw an amount equal to any delinquencies in payment of semiannual installments of the Special Taxes levied on property owned by the Account Party in the Community Facilities District. The total amount to be drawn under the Security shall not exceed an amount equal to the Special Taxes owed by the Account Party with r espect to property within the Community Facilities District that is delinquent at the time the draw is made.

The amount drawn on the Security shall be applied in the same manner and for the same purposes as the delinquent Special Taxes would have been app lied; provided, however the payment of a draw under the Security will not be deemed to cure the delinquency in payment of the Special Taxes.

If, subsequent to a draw on the Security and prior to the satisfaction of any reimbursements due to the institution providing the Security (the “Security Provider”) pursuant to this Agreement, the City receives payment of all or a portion of the delinquent Special Taxes or the proceeds of a sale of delinquent real property pursuant to foreclosure proceedings (“Delinquency Proceeds”) for a parcel for which the Security has been drawn, the Security Provider shall be reimbursed for such draws to the extent of Delinquency Proceeds net of the City’s costs of collection, provided that the Security is or has been concurrently reinstated to, or a Substitute Security (as defined below) provided for, the then applicable Stated Amount. The Security Provider is intended by the Parties to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 2.2. (b) The Security shall be renewed, or a substitute Security reasonably satisfactory to the City (a “Substitute Security”) provided, not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of the Security or Substitute Security then in effect. If the Account Party provides a Substitute Security to the City, then the City or its designee, shall return any existing Security on the effective date of the Substitute Security to the Security Provider.

If the Security is not renewed within thirty (30) days prior to its expiration date and the requirements for release or termination of the Security as set forth in Section 2.2( c) below have not then been met, the full amount of the Security may be drawn by the City and deposited in an account established under the Indenture (as hereinafter defined) or in su ch account established with a financial institution selected by the City. Thereafter, amounts in such account shall be held as security, and if Special Taxes owed by the Account Party with respect to property within the Community Facilities District are n ot paid prior to delinquency, then such amounts in such account may be applied by the City to pay the delinquent Special Taxes owed by the Account Party with respect to such property on the same terms and conditions applicable hereunder to draws on the Security.

At such time as the Security is renewed, or a Substitute Security is accepted by the City, or the requirement for the Security has been terminated pursuant to this section, the City or its designee, shall release all amounts in the Security account to the Security Provider within ten (10) calendar days from the date of renewal or acceptance. (c) Following the sale or transfer by the Account Party of any property to a person other than the Account Party, or upon the prepayment of the Special Tax obligatio n for a parcel owned by the Account Party, the Account Party shall notify the Community Facilities District of 414

4 4919-7249-5723v4/200945-0007
such event, in writing, and, if requested by the Account Party, the Stated Amount of the Security shall be reduced and be recalculated in accorda nce with this Section 2.2; provided, however, that any costs associated with the recalculation and reduction shall be borne by the Account Party. Subject to Section 2.2(d) below, the Stated Amount may be reduced to an amount determined by the method of calculation set forth in Section 2.2(a) hereof. The Security shall be terminated upon the earlier of (i) when the Sizing Property owned by the Account Party is responsible for less than 20% of the Maximum Special Taxes applicable to all of the Sizing Property or (ii) when the Account Party has paid (or cause to be paid) all Special Taxes owed by the Account Party in the current fiscal year and the Sizing Property owned by the Account Party is expected to be responsible for less than 20% of the Maximum Special Taxes in the next fiscal year.

Reduction or termination of a Security shall occur automatically upon submission to the Security Provider by the City of a “Certificate of Reduction or Termination.” The City shall deliver to the Security Provider, such Ce rtificate of Reduction or Termination promptly upon receiving from the Account Party a certification which shall be made under penalty of perjury and which shall indicate (i) the legal description of all Sizing Property owned by the Account Party, and either (ii) a recalculation of the new Stated Amount that the Account Party proposes be applicable to the Security or (iii) if termination of the Security is requested, a statement that one of the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph for terminati on of the Security has been satisfied.

The Account Party shall notify the City of any events that will result in a reduction of the Stated Amount of the Security and shall provide the City with verification of said events. The Account Party may provide th e City with a Substitute Security in the reduced amount, and the City shall release and return to the Security Provider the Security then in effect. The Parties expressly acknowledge that the Account Party’s failure to so notify the City or to reduce the Security at the times prescribed herein shall in no way effect or invalidate sale or transfer of property, or recordation of maps on property.
(d) If any Sizing Property is sold or transferred by an Account Party with the result that the Sizing Property owned by the transferee together with any of its affiliates (“Transferee”) is responsible for 20% or more of the aggregate Maximum Special Taxes of all Sizing Property, a Security on the same terms specified in Section 2.2(a) above will be furnished by Transfere e with respect to all Sizing Property owned by such Transferee. Any applicable purchase and sale agreement and/or escrow instructions shall notify the Transferee of this Security requirement and obligate the Transferee to provide such Security, if applica ble. The Security of the Account Party will not be reduced to reflect the sale or transfer of such Sizing Property until a Security is furnished by the Transferee and accepted by the fiscal agent or trustee for the Bonds. The issuing financial institutio n and the form and terms of said Security will be subject to reasonable prior approval by the City. All terms provided in this Section 2.2 are applicable to the Transferee by replacing the term “Account Party” at each place where it occurs in each section with the term “Transferee.” Each provider of a Security for a Transferee shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 2.2. Any costs related to the holding or maintaining the Security, including any fees of a fiscal agen t, trustee or other depository shall be borne by the Account Party.

2.3 Major Landowner Initial and Continuing Disclosure . An owner of land which is responsible for twenty percent (20%) or more of the Special Tax levy attributable to the Sizing Property in the fiscal year in which the Bonds are issued or in the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the Bonds are issued (a “Major Landowner”) will be required to provide all 415

5 4919-7249-5723v4/200945-0007

Additionally, Developer acknowledges that, if it is a Major Landowner at the time of issuance of the Bonds, it will be necessary that Developer enter into a continuing disclosure agreement to provide such continuing disclosure pertaining to the d evelopment of the land owned by Developer within the Community Facilities District as necessary to assist the underwriter in complying with the continuing disclosure requirements of the Rule and/or to assist in the marketing of the Bonds.

2.4 Bond Issuance Parameters. The terms and conditions upon which each series of the Bonds shall be issued and sold, the method of sale of the Bonds and the pricing of the Bonds shall be determined solely by the City in its reasonable discretion in conformance with the requir ements of Government Code Section 53313.5, the Act, the Policy , and this Agreement. The Bonds shall be issued with a term not to exceed 35 years and annual debt service on the Bonds shall be permitted to escalate by two percent (2%) per year consistent with the annual escalation of the Special Tax pursuant to the Rate and Method . The proceeds of the Bonds shall be used in the following priority to (1) fund a reserve fund for the payment of principal and interest with respect to the Bonds in an amount equal to the least of (i) ten percent (10%) of the total bond issue, (ii) maximum annual debt service on Bonds, or (iii) 125% of average annual debt service; (2) fund up to eighteen (18) months of capitalized interest, or such lesser amount requested by the Developer; (3) pay for costs of issuance of the Bonds including, without limitation, underwriter’s discount, bond counsel and disclosure counsel fees, appraisal and special tax consultant fees, printing, and fiscal agent fees; (4) pay for the costs of formin g the Community Facilities District and any change proceedings for the Community Facilities District; and (5) pay for the actual costs of the Improvements. The Community Facilities District shall maintain records relating to the disbursements of proceeds of the sale of the Bonds. The Indenture or Resolution (hereinafter “Indenture”) for the Bonds shall establish an acquisition and construction fund or improvement fund (herein, the “Improvement Fund”) into which shall be deposited initially the proceeds of the Bonds net of the amount of proceeds required to fund items (1) through (4) in the second preceding sentence. The Indenture shall also establish separate accounts of the Improvement Fund designated the “ City Improvements Account”, and any Miscellaneous Improvement Accounts with respect to funds for the facilities described in Exhibit “D” if applicable, into which shall be deposited such portions of the Improvement Fund as directed by the City pursuant to consultation with the Developer and in writing at or subsequent to the closing of the sale of the Bonds consistent with the following priorities:
(a) An amount sufficient to fund the reasonable, current estimated cost of the City Improvements anticipated to be funded out of the Bonds being issued shall be deposited in the City Improvements Account;

SECTION 3. ALLOCATION OF SPECIAL TAXES
Prior to the issuance of Bonds, the City Council of the City, acting as the legislative body of the Community Facilities District, shall levy Special Taxes at the assigned special tax rate on all parcels classified as Developed Property pursuant to the Rate and Method. Such Special Taxes collected by the City shall first be applied to fund annual administrative expenses of the Community Facilities District and then to fund Improvements in the same manner as the proceeds of Bonds as set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 below , provided, however, that the use of the Special Taxes to fund any Miscellaneous Improvements under Section 6 below shall be at the City’s sole discretion. Prior to the issuance of Bonds, such Special Taxes collected by the City each fiscal year in excess of that required to fund annual administrative expenses of the Community Facilities District shall be deposited in a special fund of the City, which shall also be referred to as the City Improvements Account. Upon the issuance of the Bonds, such City Improvements Account shall be clos ed and all funds then remaining in it shall be transferred to the City Improvements Account of the Improvement Fund that is established with the issuance of the Bonds prior to the deposit of Bond proceeds.

Upon sale and delivery of the Bonds, the City sh all annually levy the Special Tax as provided for in documents pursuant to which the Bonds were issued. Following the issuance of the Bonds, the City shall have no obligation to levy Special Taxes to reimburse the Developer for the costs of any Improvemen ts not paid for from Bond proceeds or out of the Improvement Fund. The entire amount of any Special Tax levied by the Community Facilities District to repay the Bonds and recover costs and expenses allowable pursuant to Government Code Section 53313.5, shall be allocated to the Community Facilities District.

SECTION 4. NOTICE OF SPECIAL TAX
Developer, or Developer’s s uccessors or assigns, shall provide written notice to all potential purchasers of lots advising of the special tax obligation applicable to the Developer Property in the form required by Section 53341.5 of the Government Code.

SECTION 5. CITY IMPROVEMENTS
The Developer may be required pursuant to the conditions of development or the City’s development impact fee ordinance to pay certain City fees (the “City Fees”) relating to the Improvements prior to the availability of proceeds of the Special Taxes or Bonds to pay for such Improvements. In the event such City Fees are paid prior to the availability of Special Taxes or Bond proceeds, the amounts paid to the City shall be deemed to be deposits (each a “Deposit”) that are subject to refund by the City to the Develope r in accordance with this Agreement. The City shall place each Deposit in a capital facilities account(s) . If the Developer has made any Deposits to the City, then following deposit of Special Taxes or Bond proceeds in the City Improvements Account, the City shall return to the Developer, from the capital account in which the Deposits were deposited an equal amount of the Deposits not previously returned, without interest or other earnings thereon. The City shall be so obligated to return such Deposits only to the extent that an equivalent amount of the Deposits to be returned is deposited in the City Improvements Account from Bond proceeds. At the time of issuance of the Bonds, Developer shall be deemed to have satisfied the City Fees for a remaining number of dwelling units, if any, within the Community Facilities District equal to (i) the amount deposited in the City 417

7 4919-7249-5723v4/200945-0007
Improvements Account in excess of the amount of the Deposits divided by (ii) the amount of City Fees per dwelling unit.

Bond proceeds use d to finance Improvements which relate to the City Fees shall be allocated first for return of all Deposits prior to being allocated to the payment of City Fees not previously deposited by the Developer. Any Deposits that have not been returned to the Developer at the time it is determined that there will be no further Bond proceeds available (i.e. when the final series of Bonds to finance the Improvements have been issued) shall be retained by the City and may be used for the purposes for which the City F ee was required, and the unrefunded Deposits shall constitute full and final payment for such City Fees, without any increase of any kind.

Any City Fees paid (as Deposits) by the Developer shall be made with the understanding that such Deposits will be ret urned to the Developer if, and when, Special Taxes and Bond proceeds have been deposited to the City Improvements Account. The City shall expend any amounts disbursed to it from the City Improvements Account on capital facilities. The payment of Deposits prior to the availability of the Special Taxes and Bond proceeds in the City Improvements Account shall not be construed as a dedication or gift of the City Fees, or a waiver of the return of the Deposits, it being the intention t hat the City Fees be paid by Special Taxes and Bond proceeds to the extent of such Bond proceeds.

SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS.

Improvements unrelated to the City Improvements, if applicable, will be supplemented by the terms contained in an addendum which w ill appear as Exhibit “D” hereto. The amounts deposited in the applicable Miscellaneous Improvement Account(s), if any, will be disbursed for the acquisition or construction of Miscellaneous Improvements in accordance with the provisions in the applicable Joint Community Facilities Agreement (s), if any.

FORMATION OF THE CFD AND ISSUANCE OF BONDS
Section 2.1 Formation of the CFD.

The City [has undertaken] proceedings pursuant to the Act for the formation of the CFD, the authorization of the Special Taxes and the authorization of bonded indebtedness on behalf of the CFD, with the qualified electors approving such Special Taxes and the authorization of bonded indebtedness as provided for under the Act and related State law. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the School District shall have no responsibility or liability for any costs or expenses of forming or administering the CFD. The Parties exp ressly agree that for purposes of this Agreement the School District may presume that the proceedings for the formation of the CFD, actions for approval of the levy and collection of the Special Taxes and authorization for the CFD to incur bonded indebtedn ess were validly undertaken and completed.

Section 2.2 Mitigation Amount Payments/Deposits.

Prior to School District’s receipt of Bond Proceeds, as described in this Section, Property Owner may obtain Certificates of Compliance for lots/parcels within the Project only by providing Deposits to the School District that in each case are equal to the Mitigation Amount(s) attributable to those lots/parcels which are developed for residential purposes. The School District may commingle any or all Deposits with other capital facilities funds of the School District for purposes of investment and safekeeping, and the School District may use such Deposits for any or all purposes as authorized
433

5 by law, but, for purposes of this Agreement, the School District shall at all times maintain records sufficient to track the amount and disposition of each Deposit.

(a) At the time Bonds are issued, the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account is intended to be funded in an amount equal to the then- current Amount Per Square Foot multiplied by the total Assessable Square Feet for the units used to size the Bonds (“School Funding Requirement”). Deposits provided to the School District prior to receipt by the School District of Bond Proceeds will be refunded by the School District to Property Owner, or other Party, as applicable, that paid such Deposit(s) to the extent that t he School Funding Requirement for such units is satisfied. The School District may withhold the refunding of Deposits as needed such that the withheld Deposits plus the Bond Proceeds deposited in the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account shall equal the School Funding Requirement.

(b) If the Bond Proceeds are not sufficient to make all future Mitigation Amounts for the Property, then once the Property Owner begins making payments of Mitigation Amounts, such amounts shall constitute Deposits that are capable of reimbursement in the manne r described above upon the receipt of additional Bond Proceeds.

(c) After the issuance of the last series of Bonds (other than Bonds issued for refunding purposes only), if after the application of all Bond Proceeds deposited into the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account, including interest earnings thereon, and taking into account any Deposits retained by the School District (as provided for above), there remains a balance due to satisfy the School Funding Requirement, Property Owner shall be required to pay all Mitigation Amount(s) for units/parcels before Certificates of Compliance shall be issued by the School District.

(d) The City and the CFD shall not be responsible, or liable, for funding of School Facilities, payment of Deposits or payment of Mitigation Amounts from any source of funds other than Bond Proceeds allocated and deposited for such purpose.

Section 2.3 Issuance and Sale of Bonds.
(a) The City Council, acting as the legislative body of the CFD, may, in its sole discretion, in accordance with its adopted policies, adopt one or more Bond Resolutions and issue Bonds. Prior to the City Council adopting a Bond Resolution, Developer, or another Party on behalf of the Developer, shall notify School District, in writing, of: (i) the estimated issuance date for each series of Bonds and (ii) the estimated amount of Bond Proceeds to be deposited in the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account.
(b) School District shall have no obligation, responsibility, or authority with respect to the issuance and sale of the Bonds, the Bond Proceeds available to finance School Facilities, the payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds, or for the levy of the Special Taxes to provide for the payment of principal and interest thereon. The City and the CFD shall have the sole authority and responsibility for all such matters.
(c) The Parties hereto specifically agree that, except as provided in Section 2.4 , the liabilities of the CFD, including liabilities, if any, of the CFD pursuant to the documents providing for the issuance of Bonds, including the Bond Resolution, shall not be or become liabilities of School District.
434

6 Section 2.4 Use of Bond Proceeds to Finance School Facilities. (a) In the event that Bonds are issued, the City , or the CFD (as may be applicable) s hall determine the amount of Bond Proceeds to be deposited into the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account or any applicable accounts or subaccounts thereof. As Bond Proceeds are transferred to School District, Developer shall receive a credit in the amount transferred against the payment of Mitigation Amounts. Nothing herein shall supersede the obligation of the Property Owner and/or its successors in interest with respect to the Property to pay School Fees to School District, when due, on account of commercial, industrial, age -restricted or other development not within the scope of this Agreement. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide a mechanism by which the CFD may levy and collect Special Taxes and issue Bonds to provide a source of funds to finance School Facilities for residential development within the Project through the payment of the Mitigation Amount. In the event that Bond Proceeds, including investment earnings thereon, are not available or sufficient to satisfy the obligation to pay the Mitigation Amounts, then the Property Owner shall remain obligated to pay the Mitigation Amounts to the School District as provided for under the terms of this Agreement. (b) In connection with the issuance of any Bonds, a portion of the proceeds of which are to be made available pursuant to this Agreement to finance the acquisition, construction and installation of School Facilities, School District agrees to execute and deliver such certifications concerning the School District and/or the School District’s use of Bond Proceeds deposited into the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account as may be reasonably required in order for City bond counsel to conclude, at the time of Bond issuance, that interest on such Bonds will be excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and any amendments thereto. If expressly requested by the City, the CFD or City bond counsel, the School District shall confirm that the Bond Proceeds shall be, or have been, expended on School Facilities which have a direct or indirect benefit to the property within the CFD.

Section 2.5 Mitigation Credit Account.
(a) After being notified by the fiscal agent for the Bonds, or equivalent City or CFD consultant, officer or agent that Bond Proceeds have been deposited into the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account, School District will establish a Credit Account in the amount of Assessable Square Feet for which the School Funding Requirement has been satisfied. Such determination shall be made by dividing the amount(s) deposited in the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account by the Amount per Square Foot then in effect pursuant to Section 2.2 herein.

(b) Once established and upon receipt of funds into the Credit Account, School District shall deduct from the Credit Account the square footage of units for which Deposits had been made pursuant to Section 2.2 and return the corresponding Deposits to the Property Owner. If such deduction would result in a negative balance within the Credit Account, School District shall retain a portion of the Deposits such that when added to the Bond Proceeds deposited in the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account would result in a balance of zero (0) square feet within the Credit Account. Such retained Deposits may then be used by School District as permitted by law and this Agreement.

(c) Property Owner may obtain Certificates of Compliance for lots/parcels within the Project by requesting that School District deduct from the Credit Account the assessable space of the unit for which the Certificate of Compliance is being sought. In the event that there is an insufficient balance in the Credit Account to cover a request for a Certificate of Compliance, Property Owner may obtain the Certificate of Compliance only by paying cash to the School District equal to the shortfall 435

7 in the Mitigation Amount payable in connection with that Certificate of Compliance.

Section 2.6 Disbursements of Funds for School Facilities. (a) From time to time following the deposit of Bond Proceeds into the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account , the School District may notify the City in writing and request a disbursement from the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account into the Credit Account to fund School Facilities by executing and submitting an executed Disbursement Request to the City, the CFD or to the Bonds fiscal agent, as the Bond Resolution shall provide . Upon receipt of such Disbursement Request, completed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the CFD or the Bonds fiscal agent shall wire transfer, or otherwise pay, to School District such requested funds to the extent that Bond Proceeds are available in the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account for such purpose. (b) School District agrees that prior to submitting a Disbursement Request requesting payment from the CFD, it shall review and approve all costs included in its request and will have already paid or incurred such costs of School Facilities from its own funds subsequent to the date of this Agreement, or will disburse such amounts to pay the costs of School Facilities following receipt of such funds from the CFD. In the event that School District does not disburse any Bond Proceeds received by it to third parties within five banking days of receipt, it will trace and report to the CFD all earnings, if any, earned by School District, from the date of receipt of such Bond Proceeds by School District to the date of expenditure by School District for costs of the School Facilities as defined herein.

Section 2.7 Responsibility for Mitigation Amounts.
(a) The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, absent Mitigation Amounts being funded using Bond Proceeds, the Property Owner shall be responsible for the payment of the Mitigation Amounts.

(b) If the amounts derived from Bond Proceeds for School Facilities deposited in the Lake Elsinore School Facilities Account, including investment earnings thereon, if any, are not sufficient to fund all Mitigation Amounts attributable to the Property, the Parties hereto agree that all responsibility and liability for the amount of such shortfall shall be and remain with the Property Owner, and shall not lie with the CFD, School District or the City.

(c) School District agrees to utilize or apply Bond Proceeds provided to it by the CFD, in accordance with the Act, the Local Agency Special Tax and Bond Accountability Act (described in Section 4.1 hereof), the requirements of federal tax law compliance with which is necessary in order for interest on the Bonds to be excluded from the gross income of the recipients for federal income tax purposes and other applicable law, and as set forth herein.

Section 2.8 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the City. The City shall assume the defense of, indemnify and save harmless, the School District, and the Developer, their respective officers, employees and agents, and each and every one of them, from and against all actions, damages, claims, losses, and/or expenses of any and every type and description (each a “Liability” and collectively, “Liabilities”) to which they may be subjected or put, by reason of, or resulting from, any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of the City or the CFD with respect to this Agreement ; provided, however, that the City shall not be obligated in accordance with the foregoing to the extent any Liability is attributable to the 436

8 negligence or willful misconduct of any other Party or its officers, agents or employees, in which event the Parties shall be responsible and liable on a comparative basis. (b) Indemnification by Developer. The Developer shall assume the defense of, indemnify and save harmless, the School District, the City, and the CFD, their respective officers, employees and agents, and each and every one of them, from and against all Liabilities to which they may be subjected or put, by reason of, or resulting from, any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of the Developer with respect to this Agreement provided, however, that the Developer shall not be obligated in accordance with the foregoing to the extent any Liability is attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of any other Party or its officers, agents or employees, in which event the Parties shall be responsible and liable on a comparative basis.
(c) Indemnification by School District. The School District shall assume the defense of, indemnify and save harmless, the City, the CFD , and the Developer, their respective officers, employees and agents, and each and every one of them, from and against all Liabilities to which they may be subjected or put, by reason of, or resulting from, any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of the School District with respect to this Agreement; provided, however, that the School District shall not be obligated in accordance with the foregoing to the extent any Liability is attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of any other Party or its officers, agents or employees, in which event the Parties shall be responsible and liable on a comparative basis. (d) Comparative Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction, or an arbitrator if the Parties have agreed to arbitration, determines that more than one of the Parties are, to some extent, responsible for the existence of any Liability, those Parties shall request that the court or arbitrator determine their comparative liability with respect to that Liability. Thereafter, those Parties shall be responsible for any damages payable on account of such Liability consistent with such comparative liability determination, and a Party shall be entitled to reimbursement, for damages that it has paid in excess of its share of damages based on such comparative liability determination, from the other responsible Party or Parties. (e) Statutory Liability . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event a final judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, or an arbitrator if the Parties have agreed to arbitration, determines that this Agreement is an agreement within the scope of Governmen t Code Section 895 and, in connection therewith, imposes liability on either the City or the School District solely by virtue of Government Code Section 895.2, then the City or School District, as applicable, shall be entitled to con tribution as provided by Government Code Section 895.6.

437

9 Subject to compliance with the terms hereof, the School District shall not oppose development of the Project or any request by the Property Owner for a land use or other governmental approval, whether legislative, administrative, discretionary or ministeri al, sought for the development of the Project. No development, change of development, governmental approval or change in any governmental approval with respect to the Project shall constitute the basis for any amendment or termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.10 Waiver of State and Local Funding Credits and Right to Protest.

In consideration of School District’s agreement with respect to the Project under this Agreement, the Developer hereby waives, on behalf of itself and all of its respective successors in interest with respect to the Property (including future property owners), any and all past, present, and future rights any of them may have to credit against, or fair share reduction in, the Deposit based upon State matching funding provided to School District or the proceeds from a School District-wide special tax or general obligation bond authorization, or School Facilities Improvement District (“SFID”) bond authorization for school facilities. Nothing in the foregoing or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to constitute an acknowledgement or agreement by the School District that the Developer or its successors have or would be entitled to any such credit or reduction.

Development Code Amendment No. 2025-05A (Sheds &
Accessory Dwelling Units) - Introduce Ordinance revising Title 17 (Development Code) of the Wildomar Municipal Code
SUBMITTED BY:

Abdu Lachgar, Senior Planner
PREPARED BY:

Abdu Lachgar, Senior Planner

ACTION:

1. Determine that Development Code Amendment (DCA) No. 2025-05A, and associated Ordinance No. [next in order], is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, pursuant to the common sense exemption, Section 15061(b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

2. Introduce Ordinance No. ___ and conduct the first reading by title only for ordinance, based on the necessary finding within, entitled:

ORDINANCE NO. _____

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2025-05A TO REVISE VARIOUS CHAPTERS WITHIN TITLE 17 (DEVELOPMENT CODE) OF THE WILDOMAR MUNICIPAL CODE, INCLUDING CHAPTER 17.185 (ACCESSORY STRUCTURES) AND CHAPTER

17.195 (ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS)

3. Direct the City Clerk to schedule the second reading of Ordinance No. ____ at the next regular City Council meeting or as soon thereafter as feasible.

SUMMARY:

Consideration of amendments to the Development Code by revising various parts of Title 17 (Development Code) of Wildomar Municipal Code, relating to shed setbacks and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) regulations, as summarized below:

1. Reduce setbacks for residential sheds under 120 square feet.

2. Modify design standards for ADUs to align with state objective standard requirements.

BACKGROUND:

The Council previously requested staff modify the setbacks for sheds under 120 square feet that don't require permits, and staff is also proposing a minor change to ADU regulations to comply with state standards. Altogether, this subject ordinance was initiated pursuant to Section 17.145.030 of the Wildomar Development Code.

450
On September 3, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing, considered all oral and written evidence in the administrative record, and voted 5-0 to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-14, recommending that the City Council find the proposed amendment exempt from further environmental review, approve Development Code Amendment No. 2025-05, and adopt the associated Ordinance No. [next in order] attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. This ordinance (DCA 2025-05A) involves a portion of DCA 2025-05. Another portion of DCA No. 2025-05 may be heard separately at a future Public Hearing.

DISCUSSION:

The discussion of the revisions below corresponds to the text amendments set forth in the attached Draft City Council Ordinance.

1. Chapter 17.185 (Accessory Structures) - The proposed amendment will revise an existing subsection for accessory structures to reduce minimum setbacks to 2 feet for interior side and rear property lines that will apply to sheds under 120 square feet.

2. Chapter 17.195 (Accessory Dwelling Units) - The proposed amendment will revise an existing subsection to ensure that objective standards are applied to the design of ADUs in order to comply with State law.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq., and the CEQA Guidelines, Section § 15000, et seq., Development Code Amendment No. 2025-05A, and its supporting adopting ordinance, is exempt from further environmental review, based on the common sense exemption, CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3), in that the amendments involve general policy and procedure making and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this code amendment and ordinance adoption may have a significant effect on the environment. In any case, these amendments involve regulations related to ADUs and residential accessory structures, which are already exempt from CEQA review. Therefore, the additions and revisions proposed can be seen with certainty that they will not cause any significant impact on the environment.

Given these factors, Development Code Amendment No. 2025-05A meets the criteria for a General Rule Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of CEQA. In addition, the implementation of state ADU law is exempt from further CEQA review pursuant to Public Resources Code § 21080.17, and the proposed Development Code Amendment and supporting ordinance implement state ADU law concerning objective standards.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impacts associated with the drafting, legal review, and implementation of this ordinance are covered by the Department’s Operating Budget of General Fund.

WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE CODE EDITIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE (CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24, PARTS 2 THROUGH 12, INCLUSIVE)

3. Set the public hearing for November 12, 2025, to hear testimony in these matters.

SUMMARY:

The California Building Standards Commission adopts updated editions of the California Building Standards Code (Title 24) every three years. These regulations are based on national model codes, including the International Building Code, International Residential Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, National Electrical Code, and the Green Building Code.

The 2025 California Codes become effective statewide on January 1, 2026. All cities and counties are required to enforce these standards, with the ability to adopt reasonable local amendments based on unique climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.

The proposed ordinance adopts the 2025 Codes with minor local amendments, ensuring the City of Wildomar remains in compliance with state law and continues to provide standards that 462
protect public health, safety, and welfare.

BACKGROUND:

The California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) is the regulatory body responsible for reviewing and adopting building standards to be used throughout the state of California.

These regulations establish the minimum standards for preserving life, safety, health, and welfare during the construction, alteration, and repair of the built environment. The CBSC updates these codes every three (3) years.

DISCUSSION:

In July of 2025, the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) adopted the 2025 edition of the California Building Standards Code, which is based upon a group of codes promulgated by the International Code Council (ICC) family of codes, the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). It is this collaboration of codes that make up the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, also known as the California Building Standards Code. The 2025 California Building Standards Code goes into effect on January 1, 2026.

Health & Safety Code Sections 17922 and 17958 mandate that counties and cities adopt an ordinance adopting by reference the California Building Standards Code. However, cities are allowed to make amendments to the Code due to the existence of unique regional and/or local climatic, topographical, or geographical conditions. Findings must be made supporting the amendments and submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for confirmation. The attached Ordinance includes such local amendments to the Code and goes into effect 30 days after Ordinance adoption.

The proposed ordinance adopts the 2025 California Building Standards Code by reference and makes certain amendments to the Code. Staff recommends only very minimal amendments to these Codes. The amendments proposed are primarily administrative in nature. Administrative amendments do not require findings supporting their adoption. The substantive amendments that are made are to the Fire Code, the Residential Code (Table R301.2), and the Wildland–Urban Interface (WUI) Code. The amendments to the Residential Code are required by that Code (there is a blank table that each jurisdiction is required to fill in with local climatic, seismic, and design criteria). The amendments to the Fire Code were prepared by the Riverside County Fire Department and submitted to the City to include in the draft Ordinance (refer to Attachment B). The adoption of the WUI Code reflects the State’s heightened emphasis on wildfire resiliency in high fire hazard severity zones.

Government Code Section 50022.2 provides the procedures for adopting an ordinance that adopts by reference other codes. This section requires that a public hearing on the proposed ordinance be set after the first reading of the ordinance is conducted. In addition, Government Code Section 36934 provides that an ordinance can only be adopted at a regular or adjourned regular meeting of the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the adoption of these codes.

15.32, 15.38, 15.38 and 15.52 of t he Wildomar Municipal Code, to adopt and amend the 2025 Code, including the local amendments specific to the City of Wildomar (the “Ordinance”).

9. The City Council finds that it is to the benefit of the City of Wildomar to adopt the 2025 Code, as amended by this Ordinance, because it provides minimum standards to safeguard life or limb, health, property, and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all building s and structures within the City.

Every three years the State of California adopts a new California Fire Code and California Wildland -Urban Interface Code , as part of the California Building Standards Code, which becomes effective as to the City of Wildomar and Riverside County 180 days after publication by the California Building Standards Commission.

2. The International Fire Code has been published and adopted, as amended, by the California Building Standards Commission into the California Code of Regulations as Title 24, Part 9, titled the California Fire Code.

3. The International Wildland-Urban Interface Code has been published and adopted, as amended, by the California Building Standards Commission into the California Code of Regulations as Title 24, Part 7, tit led the California Wildland -Urban Interface Code.

4. The City of Wildomar may establish more restrictive standards reasonably necessary to provide fire protection for life and property because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.

a. Climatic Conditions:

i. The City of Wildomar is located in western Riverside County in Southern California and covers a vast and varied geographic area. The base climate in western Riverside County consists of semi-arid Mediterranean weather patterns. This area annually experiences extended periods of high temperatures with little precipitation. Hot, dry winds, which may 480 reach speeds of 70 M.P.H. or greater, are common to the area.

Examples are Santa Ana/Foehn winds, afternoon surface -heating generated winds, and prevailing desert winds.

These climatic conditions cause extreme drying of vegetation and common building materials. Frequent periods of drought and low humidity add to the fire danger. This predisposes the area to large destructive fires (conflagra tion) which necessitate rapid identification, locating and extinguishment of all fires in the smallest stage possible. In addition to directly damaging or destroying buildings, these fires are also prone to disrupt utility services throughout the County. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, streetlights and utility poles, will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene.

During these winds, the inability to use aerial type firefighting apparatus would further decrease our ability to stop fires in large buildings and place rescue personnel at increased risk of injury.

ii. Although Riverside County and the City of Wildomar occasionally experiences periods of significant drought, the County and City can also experience periods of substantial rainfall. Runoff from rain drains either naturally into rivers, washes, and creeks or into flood control facilities.

Flash flooding, although uncommon, can be problematic. Flash flooding is typically associated with short duration, high intensity precipitation events often associated with summer thunderstorms. Such events can occur even during a drought.

iii. Water demand in densely populated Southern California far exceeds the quantity supplied by natural precipitation; and although the population continues to grow, the already -taxed water supply does not. California is projected to increase in population by nearly 10 million over the next quarter of a century with 50 percent of that growth centered in Southern California. Due to storage capacities and consumption, and a limited amount of rainfall future water allocation is not fully dependable. This necessitates the need for additional and on-site fire protection features.

It would also leave tall buildings vulnerable to uncontrolled fires due to a lack of available water and an inability to pump sufficient quantities of available water to floors in a fire.

These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread of even small fires originating in high -density housing or vegetation.

These fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire protection. The added protection of fire sprinkler systems and other fire protection features such as identification and notification will supplement normal fire department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin. Fire sprinkler systems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much as 50 to 75 percent. 481

b. Topographical conditions

i. A. Natural: The topographical conditions of the City of Wildomar vary from the valley floor in the center of the city, to surrounding hills of the Santa Rosa Plateau in the west, and the rolling hills in the east. A large number of sensitive habitats for various animal species and vegetation consist within large open space in the areas that surround urban centers that impact building and structure location, which impedes emergency access and response. This variety in regions contributes to an increased emergency response time, which necessitates cooperation between local agencies.

ii. Traffic and circulation congestion is an artificially created, obstructive topographical condition, which is common throughout Riverside County.

iii. These topographical conditions combine to create a situation, which places fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk and makes it necessary to provide automatic on -site fire-extinguishing systems and other protection measures to protect occupants and property.

c. Geological Conditions

i. A. Located within Riverside County , the City of Wildomar is located in the Elsinore Trough, a portion or the larger Elsinore Fault. The Wildomar and Willard faults run parallel to the valley floor in this area. In the event of an earthquake, the location of the epicenter as well as the time of day and season of the year would have a profound effect on the number of deaths and casualties, as well as property damage.
482

ii. The major form of direct damage from most earthquakes is damage to construction. Bridges are particularly vulnerable to collapse, and dam failure may generate major downstream flooding. Buildings vary in susceptibility, dependent upon construction and the types of soils on which they are built. Earthquakes destroy power and telephone lines; gas, sewer, or water mains; which, in turn, may set off fires and/or hinder firefighting or rescue efforts. The hazard of earthquakes varies from place to place, dependent upon the regional and local geology. Ground shaking may occur in areas 65 miles or more from the epicenter (the point on the ground surface above the focus). Ground shaking can change the mechanical properties of some fine grained, saturated soils, where upon they liquefy and act as a fluid (liquefaction).

iii. Previous earthquakes in southern California have been accompanied by disruption of traffic flow and fires. A severe seismic event has the potential to negatively impact any rescue or fire suppression activities because it is likely to create obstacles similar to those indicated under the high wind section above. With the probability of strong aftershocks there exists a need to provide increased protection for anyone on upper floors of buildings.

i v. Road circulation features located throughout Riverside County, and in the City of Wildomar also make amendments reasonably necessary.

Located through the County and City are major roadways, highways and flood control channels that create barriers and slow response times.

Hills, slopes, street and storm drain design accompanies with occasional heavy rainfall, causes roadway flooding and landslides and at times may make an e mergency access route impassable. There are areas in Riverside County that naturally have extended emergency response times that exceed the 5-minute goal. California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.7 and 18941.5 require that the modification or chang e be expressly marked and identified as to which each finding refers.

Therefore, the City Council finds that the following table sets forth the 2022 California Fire Code sections that have been modified and the associated local climatic, geological and/or topographical conditions described above supporting the modification.
