Executive Summary
Community Facilities District No. 98-02 (Lighting, Landscaping, Open Space and Preserve Maintenance) (“CFD No. 98-02”) was formed by City Council approval pursuant to the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. In connection with the Discovery Village South Specific Plan and University District Specific Plan, the City Council established Improvement Area F-57 (“IA F-57”) as well as a future annexation area for the improvement area. The purpose of IA F-57 is to fund the maintenance of (i) citywide parks, trails, public lighting, and landscaping and (ii) improvement area park open space; landscaping, trees, and appurtenances such as irrigation; sidewalk, pathways, trails and overlooks; storm water hydromodification and storm water quality facilities; fencing; medians; and pedestrian bridge facilities. The owner of the property listed below has consented and elected to annex into CFD No. 98-02 and IA F-57 thereto.
Discussion
Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the owner of the property listed below is required to mitigate their project’s impacts on the citywide and improvement area facilities listed above by either paying an in-lieu fee or by annexing into CFD No. 98-02 and IA F-57. The property owner has chosen to annex their property into CFD No. 98-02 and IA F-57, and the qualified electors have approved such annexation by signing a “Consent and Waiver to Shortening of Time for Conducting a Special Election,” and casting a ballot in the affirmative that authorizes the levy of the IA F-57 special tax on the owner’s property. The attached resolution will certify the election results and annex said property into CFD No. 98-02 and IA F-57.
