                              COMMUNITY FACILITIES SPECIAL TAX

                       FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 85‑2

                                                         OF

                                      THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE

                                            (CALIFORNIA OAKS)

                                                            

 

The proposed Special Tax for Community Facilities District No. 85‑2 (herein "the District") shall be levied and collected according to the tax liability determined by the County of Riverside for each Assessor's Parcel in the District.

 

A.  All of the property in Project Area unless exempted by law or by these proceedings shall be taxed for the purposes, to the extent and in the manner herein provided.  Attached as Schedule I to this Exhibit "A" is a copy of the Special Tax Allocation Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the County of Riverside and as witnessed by this reference is herein incorporated.  The following Classes are established for the purposes of imposing, administering, levying and collecting the herein specified Special Tax and all property in the District not exempt from the Special Tax for the District is in one of such classes:

 

Class            Unit                                        Units Per                Amount

 1    Low Density Residential (LDR)      511        $1,040/Unit

 2    Medium Low Density (MLD)           612           890/Unit

 3    Medium Density Residential

         (MDR)                         2,818           680/Unit

 4    Medium High Density

         Residential (MHDR)            4,113           520/Unit

 5    High Density Residential

          (HDR)                        1,996           370/Unit

 6    Commercial                       71 acres      2,500/Acre

 7    Industrial                      129 acres      1,250/Acre

 

B.  Schedule II of this Exhibit "A" sets forth a list of Tax Allocation Parcels based upon the Special Tax Allocation Map which depicts each such Tax Allocation Parcel Number which at this time do not relate to existing Assessor's Parcels but are based upon the Tax Allocation Map which is the same as the present approved Specific Plan heretofore approved for the Project Area by the Board of Supervisors of Riverside County.

 

C.  Schedule III of this Exhibit "A" is a reconciliation of the Tax Allocation Parcels as shown on Schedule II relative to the Assessor's Parcels of the Project Area as shown on the 1985/1986 Assessment Roll of the County of Riverside.

 

D.  Schedules II and III also designate the number of units or acres for the respective classes for each Tax Allocation Parcel and each Assessor's Parcel based upon the 1985/1986 Assessment Roll for the County of Riverside and the quantity of units in each class for each tax allocation and Assessor's Parcel.  Schedules II and III shall be updated by the County of Riverside prior to July 1 of each year.

 

E.  Levy and Collection of Tax.  The herein authorized Special Tax as to each of the classes for each of the Tax Allocation Parcels shall only be levied upon the property within each such Tax Allocation Parcel if during the year preceding the deadline for the placement upon the secured Assessment Roll of the County of Riverside, a final tract map or similar map or instrument has been recorded for the property that is to be subject to the Special Tax on the basis of one or more of each of the hereinabove specified seven classes.  As to all other property within the District, the Special Tax shall be levied by taking the amount of money needed to pay interest and principle on any bonds then issued and outstanding on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 85‑2 and dividing it by the number of net acres as shown on the records of the County Assessor of the County of Riverside that are not within the boundaries of a recorded final tract map or final parcel map as of such date.  This amount per acre shall then be computed times the number of acres in each Assessor's Parcel for such fiscal year and shall be the amount of the Special Tax for all such property.  In the event that this alternate method of allocating the Special Tax for Community Facilities District No. 85‑2 is determined to be invalid then in such event the alternative tax pending recordation of final tract maps or similar map shall be based upon utilizing the Special Tax Allocation Map incorporated herein and the units or acres in each of the respective classes as to the Assessor's Parcels for such year shall determine the amount which shall be related to and levied on the respective Assessor's Parcels within the District for such fiscal year.  It is contemplated that bonds will be sold only in an amount that the interest and principle can be paid pursuant to levying and collecting this tax, the Special Tax as herein specified.  The amount shall first be levied in each Special Tax Parcel based on each of the classes relating to such parcel following the recordation of a final tract map and that this amount shall be used to pay the interest and principle on any outstanding bonds of the District.  To the extent that the amounts herein specified for each unit and each class for each Special Tax Parcel do not raise a sufficient amount of money of the interest and principle on the bonds, the remaining amount needed for payment of interest and principle on all bonds of the District shall be levied and collected pursuant to the alternative tax procedure herein set forth.

 

F.  Apportionment.  In levying the Special Tax based the seven categories of development set forth in the Specific Plan, as opposed to raising such money by means of the alternative tax method herein specified, it is necessary that certain definitions be established. The categories, particularly the five residential categories, can overlap.  The following provisions shall apply to apportionment:

 

 

    1.  The planning unit as set forth in Specific Plan Number

173 shall govern as to the type of structures built within the boundaries of the planning unit.  Any residential unit built within the area of Specific Plan Number 173, shall be considered a residential unit of the type designated for the planning unit in which it is built.  This results in similar rates for adjoining parcels within planning units.

 

    2.  For commercial and industrial, the area upon which the

special tax shall be applied shall be the entire net area of the parcel exclusive of streets but inclusive of all land contained therein irrespective of its topography or usability.

        Changes in the above methods of apportioning the Special

Tax upon a specific area shall occur only upon formal approved changes in the specific plan and such changes shall be consistent with the provisions herein set forth.

 

        In the case of divisions for the purpose of constructing

multiple residential units such as condominiums, apartments, etc., the developer will be required to set forth the number of such units proposed upon the divided parcels and the Special Tax for that number of units as set forth herein will be transferred to these parcels upon their recordation.

 

        If, at the time of issuance of building permits, it is

found that the number of units proposed differ from those upon which the apportionment was based, the Special Tax shall be adjusted pro rata throughout the Project Area among the various categories if the number of units is greater or less than set forth in the original apportionment.  An equal Special Tax shall be applied to each unit for which the Special Tax had not previously been transferred to the property.  If the number of units proposed are fewer than that upon which the original apportionment was made, the excess unapportioned Special Tax shall be levied pro rata upon the remaining buildable area within the Project Area among the various categories and Tax Allocation and Assessor's Parcels.  In the event a formal determination is made that no further building will occur upon the property, the balance of the Special Tax not apportioned shall be levied upon the undeveloped acreage.

 

G.  Limitations.  The Special Tax shall not be imposed upon public properties, open space, common area, utility properties, and properties encumbered with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purpose set forth in the easement.

 

H.  Modification of Special Tax Rate.  The tax rates set forth in the beginning of this section are maximums and shall not be increased.  The tax rate on the land prior to the recordation of a final or similar map shall vary with the issuance of bonds and the resulting increase in the debt service reduced by apportionment to the Tax Allocation and Assessor's Parcels as development occurs.
