BACKGROUND: On July 17, 1996, the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) Board requested the City, through the office of the Director of Public Works, to initiate proceedings for the establishment of a Landscape Lighting Maintenance Assessment District within a major portion of the former Norton Air Force Base property, now known as San Bernardino International Airport (SBIA) and Alliance-California. On April 7, 1997, authorization was given for the formation of the proposed assessment district. Due to the dynamic changes occurring at this site over the years, no master plan had been formed regarding the assessment district and what was to be maintained and what the district boundaries should be until recently. The IVDA had hired an Assessment Engineering firm (David Evans and Associates) to complete the Engineer's Report and mapping that was required to bring this project to completion. Currently, the IVDA, the City, and the property owners are maintaining the landscape areas. The formation of the district will relieve the IVDA and the City of these costs and assess them to the properties receiving the benefit. Landscaping along arterial and collector streets are deemed to have some general benefit, which cannot be assessed to the property owners and will need to be paid from the general fund. Additionally, as required by law, any City owned property that is receiving benefit from the maintenance will be assessed. The total cost to the City is listed below. Due to the large area, the assessment district has been divided into three separate zones, and parcels in each zone will be assessed for the benefit received by the maintenance in its respective zone. The assessments will cover the costs of street lighting and the maintenance of landscaping along the major streets within -the airport area. Specifically, the streets are 3'd Street, Harry Sheppard Boulevard, Rialto Avenue, Mill Street, Central Avenue, Del Rosa Avenue, Palm Meadows Drive, Lena Road, Tippecanoe Avenue and Leland Norton Way. Additionally, the maintenance of Timber Creek drainage channel, which is owned by the City of San Bernardino will be included in the proposed assessment district. The assessment for each Zone will be spread across the parcels in proportion of the area (land only) of each parcel to the total area of parcels within the Zone. Some of the areas are proposed to be maintained by the adjacent property owners and/or businesses. Although they will be included in the district, the district will only assume maintenance in the event of a default by the property owner Ibusiness. The first years estimated costs are based on the assessment district maintaining all of the presently landscaped areas. The actual costs may be less, depending on the number of property owners Ibusinesses that will choose to maintain their respective adjacent areas. This has rUo.37 p, ep/c.c..emerlt ~e 5 - ) 5 - CJc:, Staff Report - cont'd been estimated to be $ 62,863.90 for Zone I, $35,119.11 for Zone 2 and $27,959.71 for Zone 3, as shown in Table A-8 of the Engineer's Report, as revised and on file in the office of the City Clerk. Additionally, future assessment may likely increase as required by further development of this area. The estimated costs of maintenance for the first year on total build-out is $209,807.36 for Zone I, $140,660.92 for Zone 2, and $93,336.89 for Zone 3, as shown in Table B-8 of the Engineer's Report. As required by law, the maintenance costs for areas or portions of areas determined to also have a general benefit cannot be assessed to the district and must be funded from some other source, such as the general fund. The Engineer's Report gives details as to the percentages and amounts determined to be general benefit. In summary, the amounts are $9,905.60 for Zone I; $3,786.31 for Zone 2; and $2,899.88 for Zone 3 for the proposed first year's costs. The total for all three Zones is $16,835.24. The estimated general benefit amounts on full build-out and development are $32,927.40 for Zone 1; $16,917.47 for Zone 2; and $10,269.09 for Zone 3, a total of $60,113.96 for all three Zones. The Engineer's Report details the specifics as to the costs, assessment spread and assessment benefit and also contains the 2006/2007 Assessment Roll, as well as the future assessment roll proposed at full build-out, and has been attached for your review. Proposition 218 requires that any publicly owned parcels be assessed if they receive any benefit. The IVDA owned parcels will be assessed, as wi.ll City or other publicly owned parcels. There is one City owned parcel that would be subject to assessment, shown as Assessment No. lion the Diagram map. The initial assessment on this parcel will be $4,853.83. The City's total portion of the maintenance costs, including the City owned parcel together with the general benefit amount will be $21.689.07 for the first year and $64.697.79 for ultimate build-out. Since District is within the IVDA redevelopment area, they have indicated that they would be open to discussing the assumption of all of, or a portion of, the City's costs of the full build-out amount, sometime in the future. On April 3. 2006, authorization to proceed was given and a resolution of intention was adopted preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report and setting a public meeting for May 15, 2006 and a public hearing for June 5, 2006. All owners of record or as otherwise known were given notice of the meeting and hearing by mail, along with an Assessment Ballot. As of this date, only two ballots have been submitted in opposition to the district. (Both parcels are owned by Grace Apostolic Church, shown as Assessment Nos. 13 and 19 on the Diagram map). 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 Staff Report - continued total assessment. Formation of the assessment district will require the adoption of a resolution and will require a four-fifths (4/5Ih) affirmative vote of the council members present and voting. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Applicant has paid the $6,000 processing fee and all subsequent work carried out in the district will be assessed back to property owners, with the exception of $21,689.07 determined to be general benefit and City obligation for the first year ($64,697.79 at ultimate build-out). This amount will need to be funded from the general fund or other non-district funding source. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the public meeting be closed and that any protests or ballots submitted be carried forward to the public hearing on June 5, 2006. ~ No Scale Highland Ave. Base Line St. 5th St. Mill St. LOCA TION OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1022 VICINITY MAP CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO ':VELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REAL PROPERTY SECTION Proposed Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 1022 - San Bernardino International Airport area. ~ indicates un-incorporated areas ~ within City's Sphere of Influence Created by: Date: '1/~1 (J.( ~ 0 ~ . , , !iF j 5, 1"- I I j.!>.! ;1 ,m 1 ~t'!E 1"- h~ ~. < ~ ~ i :i , " <,", Ci . i .. 1'01 " , trojl , ji ~ 0 - 'l! ~ ~ , i i too ~ ~ !l '~ 8 !
