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.
