BACKGROUND: On January 10, 2006, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 17699, located at the north side of Campus Parkway, south of Northpark Boulevard, and north of Kendall Drive. On June 30, 2006, University Park, LLC, the developer/owner of this property, submitted a petition for the formation of a landscape maintenance assessment district, as required by the conditions of approval for the development of this site. The formation of this District will assess the special benefit costs of maintaining the landscaping and appurtenances to the owners of the properties benefiting from the maintenance area. The areas to be maintained by the District will be landscaping along portions of the northerly side of Campus Parkway, located along the southerly side of the Tract and portions of the Water Department property to the east of the Tract. The developer has paid the required $4,000 formation fee. Tract No. 17699 consists of 22 single-family condominium units. The annual cost of maintenance and incidentals will be spread across these 22 units. Part of the formation proceedings includes the preparation of an Engineer's Report, which details the costs necessary to carry out the ongoing maintenance of landscaping and is filed in the City Clerk's Office. As required by law, only special benefit may be assessed to properties within an assessment district. Any benefit found to be a general benefit may not be assessed to the District. As set forth in the Engineer's Report, portions of the landscaping along Campus Parkway have been deemed to be of a special benefit. The general benefit portion of the annual cost of maintenance is estimated to be $1,026.83, and cannot be assessed to the District. This amount will need to be paid from the general fund or other non-district fund source. The special benefit portion of the annual cost of maintenance, including all incidental expenses, is estimated to be $10,484.54. This amount will be spread across the 22 units within the District and the annual maintenance cost per unit will be $476.57. The Engineer's Report allows for annual increases of CPI (Consumer Price Index), or 5%, whichever is less, to cover increases in maintenance costs. Increases over this amount will either need to be approved by the property owners within the District, or be paid for by the City. On October 16, 2006, Resolution of Intention No. 2006-367 was adopted, preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report and setting a public meeting for November 20, 2006 and a public hearing for December 4, 2006. Notice of the meeting and assessment ballots were mailed to the owner of record. Since the developer still owns all of the units, a majority protest is not anticipated. Future property owners will purchase the units subject to the Assessment District e- e e Staff Report - continued and will be given disclosure of the District and assessments by the developer or subsequent property owners, as required by law. As of the date of this staff report, no ballots have been received for lots still owned by the developer. On November 20, 2006, the public meeting was held and the matter continued to 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 the ballots returned in support for the proposed district exceed the ballots returned in opposition to the proposed district. All potential homebuyers will be given a disclosure notice by the developer, advising them of the existence of an assessment district and the proposed annual cost. Formation of the assessment district will require the adoption of the attached resolution and will require a four-fifths (4/5) affirmative vote ofthe council members voting thereon. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Applicant has paid the $4,000 processing fee. Estimated costs of annual maintenance, including additional formation costs, will be assessed back to property owners within the Assessment District. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the public hearing be closed and the attached resolution be adopted.
