 Improvement Area No. A ‑ Golden Triangle Specific

     Plan No. 155

 Improvement Area No. B ‑ Drake Properties Specific

     Plan No. 156

 

and as more specifically detailed in the Facilities Plan submitted to the County of Riverside (the "Plan"), a copy of which shall be placed on file at the offices of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, is proposed as follows:

 

A.  Commercial Property and Industrial Property

 

 The Special Tax, except where funds are otherwise available, for planned or existing Commercial and Industrial Property within each assessor's parcel shall be levied and collected at the maximum annual rate of $500.00 per acre per $1,000,000.00 of bonded indebtedness or portion thereof as of the date of levy of the special tax.

 

B.  Residential Property

 

The Special Tax, except where funds are otherwise available, for planned or existing residential units shall be levied and collected according to the designated class of the unit as described below at an annual rate per $1,000,000.00 of bonded indebtedness or portion thereof as of the date of the levy of the Special Tax as follows:

 

Class   Unit Type                       Amount (by Improvement Area)

A                         B

  B               Attached Units                       $47.07               $275.06

 

C.  Acres and Unit Type

 

In determining the number of acres for planned or existing commercial property or the Unit Type for a residential unit, all open space areas, public property, property owned by a community association, public or private utility company, or any public agency shall be excluded.  In determining the amount of special tax to be levied within an assessor's parcel, the unit type of a residential unit shall be determined in accordance with the Plan, unless at the time building permits are obtained for such residential units the Unit Type is different than as indicated in the Plan, in which event the Special Tax may be proportionally adjusted as provided below.

 

II.  The Special Tax Based Upon Change in Current Plans

 

     For Development

 

In the event that at the time either Final Maps are recorded on the property or building permits are issued, the Unit Type or use of property within an assessor's parcel changes from the Unit Type or use of the property established in the Plan, the County of Riverside may proportionally adjust the Special Tax according to such change in accordance with the rate and method of apportionment set forth in Section III below.

 

III. Method for Determining The Special Tax Based Upon

          A Change In The Current Plan For Development

 

In the event of a change in development as provided in Section II above, the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax shall be as follows:

 

A.  Commercial and Industrial Property.

The proposed Special Tax for Community Facilities District No. 85‑1 of the County of Riverside, except where funds are otherwise available, for planned or existing Commercial and Industrial property within each assessor's parcel shall be levied and collected at a maximum annual rate of $500.00/acre per $1,000,000.00 of bonded indebtedness as of the date of the levy of the Special Tax.  Such amount of the Special Tax shall be referred to in Section IV as "Y".

 

B.  Residential Property.

The proposed Special Tax for Community Facilities District No. 85‑1 of the County of Riverside, except where funds are otherwise available, for planned or existing residential units within an assessor's parcels shall be levied and collected according to the designated class of the unit as described below at a maximum annual rate equal to "T" X "F" per $1,000,000.00 of bonded indebtedness or portion thereof as of the date of the levy of the Special Tax where "T" and "F" have the following meaning:

 

Class                        Unit Type                         Factor ("F")

  A                          Detached Units                                  1.2

  B                           Attached Units                                  1.0

 

M1 = # Units in Class A X 1.2

M2 = # Units in Class B X 1.0

T = Annual Debt Service ‑ Y / (M1 + M2)

F = The Factor listed above that corresponds to the particular          Class of property.

 

 

C.  Example.

Assume a total of 2418 units in Class A.  This would produce a total factor of 2901.6 (2418 X 1.2).  Assume a total factor for all classes of property is 3229.8.  Assume $8,000.00 is levied on commercial and industrial property.  Assume annual debt service per $1,000,000.00 of bonded indebtedness is $160,000.00.

 

T = 160,000 ‑ 8,000/3229 = 47.07

T (47.07) X F (1.2) = $56.48 debt service for a Class A unit per $1,000,000.00 of bonded indebtedness or portion thereof.

 

D.  Acres and Unit Type.

In determining the number of acres for planned or existing commercial and industrial property or the Unit Type of a residential unit all open space areas, public property, property owned by a community association, public or private utility company, or any public agency shall be excluded.
