Description) Assessment District Deposits Finance: Council Notes: Agenda Item No. 7~ e e e e CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Staff Report SUBJECT: Authorization to proceed and Resolution of Intention - formation of a Landscape Maintenance Assessment District in the Mill Street and Meridian Avenue Area (Tract Map No. 17218). BACKGROUND: On December 6, 2005, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 17218, located on the northwest comer of Mill Street and Meridian Avenue. On January 9, 2007, Jerry Ronnebeck Engineering on behalf of Conley Moret, 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 Mill Street. The developer has paid the required $5,900 formation fee. Tract Map No. 17218 consists of 8 residential lots and the annual cost of maintenance and incidentals will be spread across these 8 lots. Part of the formation proceedings includes the preparation of an Engineer's Report, which details the costs necessary to carry out the ongoing maintenance oflandscaping, which is attached for your review. 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 Mill Street has been deemed to be of a general benefit. The general benefit portion of the annual cost of maintenance is estimated to be $422.31, 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 $2,536.64. This amount will be spread across the 8 lots within the District and the annual maintenance cost per unit will be $317.08. 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. The attached Resolution of Intention sets a public meeting for April 16, 2007, and a public hearing for May 7, 2007, and preliminarily approves the Engineer's Report. Approval of this District will be subject to an assessment ballot process, which requires a majority approval by the property owners within the proposed District boundary. Ballots are weighted proportionally to the amount of the proposed assessment for each parcel. The owners of record will be given a mailed notice of the public meeting and hearing, along with an Assessment Ballot form. Since all of the properties within the District are currently under one ownership, no protests are anticipated. Future property owners will purchase the parcels 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. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The applicant has paid the $5,900 processing fee. Estimated costs of annual maintenance in the amount of $2,536.64, deemed to be a special benefit, will be assessed back to property owners within the Assessment District. The estimated annual cost of maintenance in the amount of $422.31, deemed to be a general benefit, will need to be paid from the general fund. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that authorization be given to proceed with the formation of a Landscape Maintenance Assessment District in the Mill Street and Meridian Avenue Area to be known as Assessment District No. 1061 (Tract Map No. 17218), and that the attached Resolution of Intention be adopted. .~~..< .W9~ ~ Base Une Sl 5thSt. .. . . o J( LOCA TION OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1061 VICINITY MAP fJ NO SCALE y .

These improvements are relative to the proposed development within Tentative Tract No. 17218. The signatures on the petition represent 100% of the property owners of the parcels within the proposed boundaries of the district. This petition was the result of a requirement placed upon the developer of Tentative Tract No. 17218 by the City to relieve the City from having to maintain the areas of landscaping. _ AUTHORIZATION -- On ,2007, by action of the Mayor and Common Council ~f the City of San Bernardino of San Bernardino, the Director of Development Services and City Clerk were authorized to initiate proceedings for the formation of Assessment District No. 1061 (Mill Street and Meridian Avenue Area Landscape Maintenance Assessment District) pursuant to the provisions of San Bernardino City Municipal Code Chapter 12.90 and this Report has been prepared and is hereby submitted pursuant to said provisions and in accordance with Resolution of Intention No. adopted by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino on the _day of ADVANCE OF ESTIMATED COSTS OF PROCEEDINGS -- On February 7, 2007, pursuant to Section 12.94.030 of the Municipal Code, the developer deposited $5,900 with the City to cover the estimated cost of proceedings. At the conclusion of the proceedings and after confirmation of all costs, any amounts remaining will be returned to the developer. If actual costs are more than the deposit, then the remainder can either be paid in a lump sum by the developer or assessed against the properties involved. EASEMENTS - All areas to be maintained will be within City owned property, dedicated right of way, or within easements granted to the City for maintenance purposes and no maintenance will be carried out on private property. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS -- The areas to be maintained by the District will be landscaping and all appurtenances along portions of the northerly side of Mill Street, within the boundaries of Tract No. 17218. .. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS --Plans and Specifications for the landscaping have been prepared by ~e developer according to the standards of the City and is subject to final approval by the City prior to the installation of any landscaping. 3 engineerS Report - AD 1061 DESCRIPTION OF BOUNDARIES -- The boundaries of the proposed district are shown on the Assessment Boundary Map of Assessment District No. 1061 and are generally described as follows: The centerline of Mill Street on the south; the centerline of Meridian A venue on the east; and the northerly and westerly lines of Tentative Tract No. 17218 on the north and west respectively. VICINITY MAP -- A vicinity map showing the general location of the proposed Assessment District is attached as Exhibit "1". . DISTRICT BOUNDARY MAP -- A proposed District Boundary Map has been prepared and is on file in the office of the City Clerk. A reduced copy of the District Boundary Map is attached as Exhibit "2". DISTRICT DIAGRAM -- A proposed Diagram of the Assessment District has been prepared and will be filed with the City Clerk after preliminary approval of this Report and will be filed with the County Recorder and recorded in the office of the City Engineer after final approval of this Report, confirmation of the Assessment Roll and Resolution Ordering Work. A reduced copy of the Assessment District Diagram is attached as Exhibit "3". NOTICE OF EXEMPTION -- a "Notice of Exemption" declaring a Categorical Exemption was prepared ~d will be filed with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino County upon formation of the .istrict. No further environmental proceedings will be necessary. A copy of the Notice of Exemption is attached as Exhibit "4". METHOD OF ASSESSMENT AND DETERMINA TION OF BENEFIT -- Landscaping and its proper maintenance enhances the esthetics of any given area and the benefit received by the owners of properties in the area is determined to be equal to the number of residential units that utilize the landscaped areas either as ingress and egress or by actual physical use of the land as in the cases of large open areas. The boundaries of the proposed district are drawn with this in mind and the Resolution of Intention delineates the specific areas of maintenance, which will benefit all of the properties within the boundaries. Thus, each residential lot or unit, be it a single-family lot, a condominium or an apartment will be assessed an equal share in the cost of maintenance (I residential lot or unit = I Assessment Unit). Based upon the single-family parcels proposed to be developed, the total assessment units for the district will be 8. The benefit received by the parcels within the boundaries of the district is determined to be of more than ordinary public benefit; thus each parcel within the district being assessed receives a special benefit from the improvements. If property not within the boundaries of a district also receives some benefit from the improvements, consideration must then be given to a general benefit given by the improvements, which may not be assessed to the parcels within the district. Since the installation and maintenance of the landscaping and establishment of an assessment district for the maintenance of the landscaping is specific and incidental to this development, it is further &termined that the improvements to be maintained by the assessment district are of special benefit to the district -...rnly and are 100% assessable to the parcels within the boundaries of the assessment district, except as follows: 4 engineers Report - AD 1061 I. Areas of maintenance that front on maior arterial streets, as determined by the Circulation Plan of the City's General Plan, are determined to be 15% general benefit and the proportional costs thereof are not assessable to the District. 2. Areas of maintenance that front on secondarv arterial streets, as determined by the Circulation Plan of the City's General Plan, are determined to be 10% general benefit and the proportional costs thereof are not assessable to the District. 3. Areas of maintenance that front on collector streets, as determined by the Circulation Plan of the City's General Plan, are determined to be 5% general benefit and the proportional costs thereof are not assessable to the District. 4. Areas that front on local streets are determined to be 100% special benefit and are 100% assessable to the District. These percentages are based on the traffic circulation for the various street classifications. .. Based on the City of San Bernardino's current circulation element of its General Plan, this portion of Mill ~et is designated as a maior arterial street. Thus 15% of the cost of landscaping maintenance and appurtenances along Mill Street, is deemed to be of general benefit and not assessable to the lots within the Assessment District. Publicly owned lands within the Assessment District, if any, are subject to assessments, unless they receive no benefit with the exception of public right of way, which is not subject to assessments. METHOD OF FINANCING -- The estimated cost of the first year's maintenance shall be assessed against the properties involved within the current fiscal year or the fiscal year following the establishment of the district. Depending upon when the costs are assessed and when the actual maintenance is assumed by the City, this assessed amount can be used as a source of pre-funding the first year's maintenance contract and incidental costs. Once the City has assumed the responsibility for the maintenance, the properties maybe assessed in advance each year thereafter to establish a source of pre-funding each year's costs, or may be assessed for the actual contract and incidental costs plus interest. Interest will be included in the assessment costs for any amounts or portions not pre- funded through previous assessments. If there is a surplus from the estimated assessment in the event costs are pre- funded through previous assessments, any such surplus shall be applied as a credit to the following year's assessment or placed in a reserve fund to cover future increases or maintenance until such reserves are depleted. The assessment, whether pre-funded or not, shall be levied, collected and enforced in the same manner, at the same time, and with the same penalties and interest as in the case of taxes levied for property taxes. Table I sets forth the estimated costs of the first year's maintenance. No Bonds will be sold relative to this Assessment District. ASSESSMENT SPREAD -- The amount of each Assessment Unit is determined by dividing the total Aaintenance costs, including all incidentals, by the total number of assessment units, as determined by the above .ethod of Assessment. Each parcel in the district is then assessed based upon the total number of Assessment Units 5 e:ngineerS Report-AD 1061 calculated for that parcel. ASSESSMENT ROLL -- There will be 8 single family parcels within Tract No. 17218, once the final map is recorded, with each parcel representing I assessment unit as described under Method of Assessment, and assessments are spread accordingly. No further subdivision of the parcels is anticipated. An Assessment Roll representing the estimated first year's maintenance costs has been prepared for the 8 parcels within Tract No. 17218 and is shown as Exhibit "5". Any parcels remaining vacant, or not being subdivided, will be assessed based on the number of single family lots that could be built pursuant to the City's existing General Plan. FUTURE APPORTIONMENTS -- In the event that the assessment units, as determined under Method of Assessment, change for any parcel( s) during the term of the Assessment District, the assessment amount for that parcel(s) will change accordingly. Any increases based solely on change in parcel size, land use or density, which would result in an increase of assessment units, will not be subject to a public hearing as long as the formula for determining the assessments as described is applied. Pursuant to Chapter 12.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, such reapportionment's do not require the recording of an amended Diagram Map. . FUTURE INCREASES -- Due to the nature of landscape maintenance; it is anticipated that there will be future increases in assessments as contract, labor, water and energy costs are all subject to future increases. Annual .fcreases may be increased without further notice or public hearing by a percentage equal to the increase in the .onsumer Price Index (CPI) for all Urban Consumers in the Los Angeles-Orange County-Inland Empire area, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics over the previous year, or 5%, whichever is less. The CPI is typically used for maintenance districts. The rate varies from year to year, but in no event will an increase, if needed, exceed 5% without a majority approval of property owners in the district. e 6 engineers Report-AD 1061 e TABLE 1 ESTIMATED FIRST YEAR'S COST SUMMARY Assessment District No. 1061 (Mill Street and Meridian Avenue Area Landscape Maintenance Assessment District) Description of Costs Quantity Unit Cost/Unit Annual Cost A B C D Maintenance of Turf {Irril!ation - So.Ft. 0.20 $ - Maintenance of Groundcover {Shrubs/Irrigation 1,968 So.Ft. 0.20 $ 393.60 Maintenance of Trees { Irri..ation 1 L.S. 450.00 $ 450.00 Landscane Area Subtotal 1,968 So.Ft.
