NOTES:

 

1.       Minimum lot size will be calculated based on the minimum lot size within the entire Planning Area wherein a Parcel is located as shown in the Specific Plan and the current Assessor's Parcel Map.

 

2.       Assigned Special Tax rates have been calculated assuming 443.5 Net Taxable Acres of Developed Property (270.0 Net Taxable Acres for the Alternative Special Tax Rate) and 129.5 acres of exempted property, including 122.0 acres of public rights-of-way and 7.5 acres of public parks (see Section E).

 

 

The Assigned Special Tax Rates specified in Table 1 represent the amounts required to fund the projected expenses of CFD No. 88-10. The Maximum Special Tax for a Parcel of Developed Property may exceed the Assigned Special Tax Rate if the Alternative Special Tax Rate is applied under the Fourth step in Section D below. The Alternative Special Tax Rate is applied under the Fourth step in Section D below. The Alternative Special Tax Rate may be applied to a Parcel of Developed Property if its application yields a Special Tax greater than the Assigned Special Tax Rate for the Parcel.

 

Examples of the application of the Alternative Special Tax Rate include:

 

If a 15,000 square foot Parcel in class 2 has an Assigned Special Tax Rate of $2,989 per unit, application of the Alternative Special Tax Rate would result in a Maximum Special Tax of $3,150 (15,000 SF x $0.21/SF).

 

If a one acre Parcel in class 6 with 15 Residential Attached dwelling units has an Assigned Special Tax Rate of $598 per unit, application of the Alternative Special Tax Rate would result in a Maximum Special Tax of $610 per unit (43,560 SF x $0.21/SF - 15 units).

 

If a one acre Parcel in class 7 with 10,876 square feet of building floor space has an Assigned Special Tax Rate of $7,472 per acre, application of the Alternative Special Tax Rate would result in a Maximum Special Tax of $9,148 (43,560 SF x $0.21/SF).

 

As set forth in Section D below, the Alternative Special Tax Rate will only be applied to Developed Property, classes 1 through 7, as a Special Tax of last resort if the Board determines that the Special Tax must in fact be levied based on the Alternative Special Tax Rate. Parcels in class 8 are not subject to an Alternative Special Tax Rate.

 

2.       Undeveloped Property

 

The Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property shall be $14,700 per acre. Parcel acreage for Undeveloped Property shall be the Net Taxable Acreage shown on the current Assessor's Parcel Map.

 

D.       METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX TO DEVELOPED PROPERTY AND UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY

 

Starting with Fiscal Year 1991-92 and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, the Board shall determine the Special Tax Requirement. The Board shall levy the Special Tax as follows:

 

First:   The Special Tax shall be levied on all Parcels of Developed Property, exclusive of property exempt from Special Tax pursuant to Section E below, up to 91 percent of the Assigned Special Tax Rate;

 

Second:        If additional funds are needed after the First step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied on each Parcel of Undeveloped Property, exclusive of property exempt from the Special Tax pursuant to section E below, up to 100 percent of the Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property;

 

Third:  If additional funds are needed after the First and Second steps have been completed, the levy of the Special Tax on all Parcels of Developed Property, exclusive of property exempt from the Special Tax pursuant to Section E below, shall be increased by an amount that will not exceed 100 percent of the Assigned Special Tax Rate;

 

Fourth: If additional funds are needed after the three steps above have been completed, the levy of the Special Tax on Developed Property, exclusive of property exempt from the Special Tax pursuant to Section E below, shall be determined by application of the Alternative Special Tax Rate to those parcels meeting the specifications set forth in Section C above to an amount not exceeding 100 percent of the Alternative Special Tax Rate pursuant to Section C(1) above.

 

E.       EXEMPTIONS

The Board shall not levy a Special Tax on:

 

-        Properties owned by state, federal, or other local governments, except as otherwise provided in Section 53317.3 of the Government Code: and

 

-        Properties designated for use as public rights-of-way for roadways, drainage, or public parks.

 

-        Land conveyed or irrevocably offered for dedication to a public agency after formation of CFD No. 88-10, and not otherwise exempt pursuant to this Section E, shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax pursuant to Section 53317.3 or Section 53317.5 of the Government Code and classified as Undeveloped Property. However, at the direction of the Board, such Parcels may be exempted from the levy of the Special Tax in any Fiscal Year provided the Special Tax Requirement can be satisfied without imposing a levy on said Parcels.

 

F.       REVIEW/APPEAL COMMITTEE

 

The Board shall establish as a part of the proceedings and administration of CFD No. 88-10 a special three-member Review/Appeal Committee. The Review/Appeal Committee shall interpret and make determinations relative to the administration of the Special Tax herein specified.

 

 

G.      MANNER OF COLLECTION

 

The Special Taxes shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 88-10 may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations. The Special Taxes shall be subject to the same penalties, and the same procedure, sale and lien priority in case of delinquency as is provided for ad valorem taxes.
