CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
SUBJECT:
Public meeting - 4:00 p.m.: formation of a landscape maintenance assessment district in the
Magnolia Avenue and Ohio Avenue area, Assessment District No. 1030 (Tract No. 14604).
BACKGROUND:
On July 7, 2003, authorization was given to proceed with the formation of Assessment District
No. 1030, in the Magnolia Avenue and Ohio Avenue area. The improvements to be maintained
include landscaping and all appurtenances along portions of the north side of Ohio Avenue, east
of Magnolia Avenue, and the east side of Magnolia Avenue, north of Ohio Avenue, all within the
boundaries of Tract 14604. The purpose of this assessment district is for the assignment of costs
for the maintenance of the landscaping to the owners of the properties most benefiting from the
landscape area. This is also being done for blight prevention since property owners usually do
not maintain the areas beyond the perimeter block walls of a tract. A letter requesting the
formation of the district was received from MAPCO on behalf of the property owner, R. L. Elder
Construction Company, along with the processing fee of $4,000.
Tract No. 14604 consists of 47 single-family lots. The annual cost of maintenance and
incidentals is estimated to be $10,069.75, which will be spread across the 47 lots. The annual
assessment per lot is estimated at $214.25.
On October 4,2004, Resolution ofIntention No. 2004-307 was adopted, preliminarily approving
the Engineer's Report, which gives details regarding the district boundaries, proposed
maintenance, method of assessment, total cost of maintenance and a proposed assessment roll.
The Report is on file in the office of the City Clerk. The resolution also sets a public meeting
date of November 15,2004 and a public hearing date of December 6,2004. Currently, all of the
properties within the boundaries of the proposed district are under one ownership. Mailed notice
of the public meeting and public hearing was sent along with an Assessment Ballot for each
parcel. The Resolution of Intention was published in the Sun newspaper. The developer has
stated that no closing of sales is anticipated prior to the public hearing and all potential
homebuyers will be given a disclosure of the proposed assessment district and assessment
amount.
The public meeting is only an informational meeting and no action can be taken regarding the
formation of the assessment district until the public hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, the
results of the assessment ballots returned will be submitted. Ballots are weighted in proportion to
the assessment amount. The formation of the district requires that at least 50% of the ballots
returned show support for the proposed district or that protests submitted, be 50%, or less, of the
total assessment. Formation of the assessment district will require the adoption of a resolution
and will require a four-fifths (4/5th) affirmative vote of the council members present and voting.
