Alliance-California area Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District AD 1022, Zones L 2 and 3. 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 3cd 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 through a Default Assessment Agreement. Property owners will still be assessed for maintenance of the common areas and street lighting costs. Properties qualifying for a default agreement must either be 2.5 acres or larger in size, or have a front footage of 400 feet or more. The limits were established to assure a more uniform maintenance schedule and appearance across the smaller parcels. Table A Staff Report - Continued shows the various assessment amounts for each parcel within each zone with Default Assessment Agreements in place. The total for each zone has been estimated to be $ 62.863.90 for Zone 1. $35,119.11 for Zone 2 and $27,959.71 for Zone 3, as shown in summary in Table A-8 of the Engineer's Report. Table B shows the maximum assessment amount assuming no Default Assessment Agreements have been executed, and development in the area fully built out. The estimated costs of maintenance for the first year under this scenario is $209,807.36 for Zone 1, $140,660.92 for Zone 2, and $93.336.89 for Zone 3, as shown in summary 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 1; $3,786.31 for Zone 2; and $3.143.33 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. Proposition 218 requires that any publicly owned parcels be assessed if they receive any benefit. The IVDA owned parcels will be assessed, as will 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. Tl1e initial assessment on this parcel will be $4,960.97. The City's total portion of the maintenance costs, including the City owned parcel together with the general benefit amount will be $21,796.21 for the first year and 565,074.93 for ultimate build-out. Since the 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 IS, 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. On May 15,2006, a public meeting was held and the item continued to the public hearing on June 5, 2006. The public hearing was continued to June 19, 2006. due to new ballots being mailed and to allow sufficient time for property owners to respond. The new ballots were needed because the original ballots showed incorrect amounts. At the conclusion of the public hearing on June 19, 2006, the results of the assessment ballots will be determined. If ballots representing more than 50% of the total assessment amount are submitted in opposition to the assessment district, proceedings for the formation will have to be terminated. It is anticipated property owners of the larger developments (and thus larger assessments) will elect to execute a Staff Report - Continued Default Agreement, a majority opposition to the formation of the district is not anticipated. The Default Agreements are being submitted under as a separate item. and will need to be considered prior to the adoption of the resolution creating the assessment district. 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 $2 L 796.21 determined to be general benefit and City obligation for the first year ($65,074.93 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 hearing be closed and the resolution be adopted. ~ No Sco.le Base Line St. 5th St. . o c u .. . . 0. 0. i= _ 0 LOCATION OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1022 VICINITY MAP CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT 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: .:...
