|
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION | | Hold public hearing and adopt resolutions. |
|
| | | | | | | | | STATEMENT OF ISSUE | | The conditions of approval for the 7 Flags Express Car Wash development (“Project” or “Annexation No. 46”) require it to be annexed into Community Facilities District No. 2012-2 (“CFD 2012-2”). CFD 2012-2 was formed by the City of Fairfield (“City”) to provide funding for public safety services, open space operation and park maintenance. A public hearing must be held on the question of whether to annex the Project into CFD 2012-2 and, in the absence of a majority protest, the attached resolutions annex the territory to CFD 2012-2, authorize the levy of a special tax within the annexed territory subject to voter approval, call an election to allow the property owner to cast a ballot on the levy of the special tax, and declare the result of such election. |
|
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION | By Resolution No. 2012-233, the City Council established CFD 2012-2, a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District, with the intention that future developments within the City of Fairfield would annex into this district. The special taxes collected from the property owners within the district are to be used for the funding of public safety services, open space operation, and park maintenance.
The territory proposed for annexation is owned by Jay-Cee Development, LLC and is located east of North Texas Street and north of East Bell Avenue and includes the area within the boundary of assessor’s parcel number 0030-121-540, as depicted on Exhibit A. The Project includes the development of a car wash.
The City contracts with Willdan Financial Services for the preparation of resolutions and the completion of balloting procedures for annexations to existing CFDs. This process is a specialty service that the City has contracted out since 1995 on an individual consultant services basis for each development requiring annexation into a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District.
City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-86 on June 9, 2020, to declare its intention to annex the territory to CFD 2012-2 and set a public hearing for July 7, 2020. Following the public hearing, and in the absence of a majority protest and approval by the property owner, the adoption of the attached resolutions will annex the territory to CFD 2012-2, call and hold an election of the property owner within the annexed territory, declare the results of the special election, and authorize the levy of the special taxes within the annexed territory, thereby concluding the annexation process. Since the conditions of approval for the development require the territory to be annexed into CFD 2012-2 and Jay-Cee Development, LLC is the sole owner of the parcel, a majority protest regarding the annexation is not anticipated. Jay-Cee Development, LLC is the sole property owner within the territory and is the only elector qualified to vote in the special election.
Once the annexation is complete, the property owner of the annexed territory will be required to pay annual special taxes for CFD 2012-2, beginning in fiscal year 2020-21, as itemized on their property tax bill in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for CFD 2012-2.
|
|
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT | | CFD 2012-2 Annexation No. 46 is estimated to generate annual revenue of $1,315.09 for the CFD 2012-2 Fund (Fund 332). This estimate is based on the maximum special tax rates for fiscal year 2020-21. |
