CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
SUBJECT:
Public hearing - 4:00 p.m., and Resolution Ordering Work - Mill Street and Meridian Avenue
Area Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No.1 061 (Tract No. 17218).
BACKGROUND:
On December 6, 2005, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 17218,
located on the northwest corner 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 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 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.
On March 19,2007, Resolution of Intention No. 2007-85 was adopted, setting a public meeting
for April 16, 2007, and a public hearing for May 7, 2007, and preliminarily approving the
Engineer's Report. Notices of the meeting, hearing and assessment ballots were mailed to the
owner of record. Since the developer still owns all of the lots, a majority protest is not
anticipated. Future property owners will purchase the lots subject to the Assessment District and
will be given disclosure of the District and assessments by the developer or subsequent property
owners, as required by law.
All of the ballots have been received for all lots supporting the proposed assessment.
e
e
e
Staff Report - continued
On April 16,2007, 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 of the ballots have been received for all lots supporting
the proposed assessment. 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 of the council members voting thereon.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The applicant has paid the $5,900 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.
