FOR: City Council Meeting of November 28, 2022
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2022-61 to Set a Time and Place to Conduct a Public Hearing for the Annexation of Tract Map No. 17349 into Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 (Zone "FFF")
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council:
Approve Resolution No. 2022-61 to set a time and place to conduct a Public Hearing and Assessment Ballot proceedings at 6:00 p.m. on January 23, 2023 in compliance with Proposition 218, and to approve the annexation of Tract Map No. 17349 into the City of Yucaipa Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. l; and
2. Adopt the methodology for and enact the assessments therein.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On September 9, 1991, the City Council voted to form a Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District (LLMD). Numerous projects under development in the City contain public areas that will require on -going maintenance if they are to continue to provide special benefits for the homeowners within the tracts. Staff believes that the best way to ensure that these areas receive the appropriate maintenance is to place individual projects within the City's LLMD.
It is anticipated that this tract will be levied during the 2023-2024 fiscal year.
The methodology establishing the LLMD has been amended to allow the annual levy to occur during the warranty period or for the first fiscal year of annexation. This will allow the buildup of a capital reserve funds for the purposes of covering the costs of vandalism, inclement weather (such as a hard freeze or severe erosion), damage done by vehicular traffic and the coverage of delinquent property taxes.
It is important to note that these maintenance districts will only apply to the properties within the boundaries of a particular tract and that no other property owners will be assessed for any of the maintenance costs for Zone "FFF".

City Council Meeting of November 28, 2022
Resolution No. 2022-61 to Set a Time and Place to Conduct a Public Hearing for the Annexation of Tract Map No. 17349 into Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 (Zone "FFF")
Tract Map No. 17349 contains 22 residential lots and is located on Stacey Lane at the east end of Hollow Creek Drive. This project was conditioned to annex to LLMD No. 1 as part of the entitlement and approval process for the subdivision. The developer wishes to have the energy charges and maintenance costs for 3 street lights, the drainage system and 10,311 square feet of landscape maintenance area placed into the LLMD.
In accordance with the provisions of Proposition 218, (the right to vote Act), passed by voters in the November 1996 election, it is necessary to vote on the annexation and levy of assessment by mail -in ballot by the owners of the parcels being annexed into the district. A notice of the hearing and a ballot will be mailed to each property owner.
The City must conduct a public hearing upon the proposed assessment not less than 45 days after mailing the notice of the proposed assessment to record owners of each identified parcel. At the public hearing, the City Council considers all protests against the proposed assessment and tabulates the ballots. The City shall not impose an assessment if there is a majority protest. A majority protest exists if, upon conclusion of the hearing, ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment exceed ballots submitted in favor of the assessment weighted on financial obligation.
The maintenance cost for street light energy charges and landscape maintenance for Tract Map No. 17349 is estimated to be $200.00 per dwelling unit per year.
The annual increase of assessments includes an escalator clause to adjust the operation and maintenance based on the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for the Riverside -San Bernardino -Ontario, Metropolitan Area for All Urban Consumers and recovers the actual costs for electricity.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Maintenance costs for lighting and landscape maintenance are paid by the affected property owners of this tract. There will be no impact to the City's General Fund.
