Resolution of Intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District No. 2019 -1
6688
Page 2
(Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino (the “Resolution of Intention”),
pursuant to the provisions of the “Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982”. A
public hearing was set for May 6, 2020 on the proposed annexation of the said territ ory
into the community facilities district. As required by the Resolution of Intention, a
boundary map was recorded on October 29, 2019, at 2:47 p.m. in Book 89 Page 4,
Document No. 2019-0389012 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities
Districts with the San Bernardino County Recorder.
The Resolution of Intention was adopted by the Mayor and City Council in response to a
petition filed by the property owner of approximately 56 gross acres of vacant industrial
property within the City, requesting that the City assist them in annexing their properties
into CFD No. 2019-1 under the Mello-Roos Act. The State legislature enacted the Mello-
Roos Act in 1982 to assist public agencies in financing certain public improvements by
either issuing tax exempt securities that are repaid by annual levy of special taxes, or to
provide for the financing of on-going public services. The landowner requested the City
annex into CFD No. 2019-1 to levy a special tax to cover the costs associated with the
maintenance of public improvements. The public facilities and services proposed to be
financed within the territory to be annexed to the District are the following:
1. Maintenance of median landscaping and other public improvements installed
within the public rights-of-way; and
2. City and County costs associated with the setting, levying and collection of the
special tax, and in the administration of the District including the contract
administration and for the collection of reserve funds.
The area proposed within Annexation No. 2 is approximately 56 gross acres of vacant
industrial property within PM 19814. The proposed area to be annexed into the CFD
will be included in Tax Zone 3 and is located south of East Orange Show Road
bordered by Waterman Avenue to the east. The proposed development is
approximately 1,065,000 square feet of industrial high cube logistics warehouse
building.
The proposed total maximum tax rate for Tax Zone 3 is $608 per acre for FY 2020/21.
Public Property and homeowner’s association property are exempt from the special tax.
The maximum annual tax rate is proposed to escalate each year at the greater of
Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. The property owners have agreed to initiate and
conduct the CFD annexation proceedings pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act of 1982. The
property owners have submitted a “Consent and Waiver” form on file in the City Clerk’s
Office to initiate and conduct proceedings pursuant to the Mello -Roos Act in 1982, for
the annexation into the CFD and consenting to the s hortening of election time
requirements, waiving analysis and arguments, and waiving all notice requirements
relating to the conduct of the election.
On April 1, 2020, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020 -57, a
Resolution of Intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District No. 2019-1
(Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino (the “Resolution of Intention”),
6688
Page 3
pursuant to the provisions of the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982”.
In order to annex property to CFD No. 2019-1 pursuant to the provisions of California
Government Code Section 53311 et seq., the City must adopt a series of three
statutorily required Resolutions and an Ordinance which are summarized below:
Resolution declaring City intent to annex territory to Community Facilities District
No. 2019-1 including the boundary of the area to be annexed and the rate and
method of apportionment of special taxes within the annexation area (the special
tax applies only to properties within the annexation area), adopted October 16,
2019.
Resolution calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the question of
levying a special tax within the area proposed to be annexed to the District.
Resolution declaring the results of the election and directing the recording of the
notice of special tax lien.
Amend the Ordinance and order the levy and collection of special taxes in the
District.
With the adoption of the Resolutions and the first reading of the amended Ordinance,
the second reading of the amended Ordinance would be scheduled for May 20, 2020.
Discussion
The Resolution of Intention called for a public hearing is to be held on May 6, 2020 on
the issue of the annexation of territory into CFD No. 2019-1. Under the Mello-Roos Act,
the Mayor and City Council must hold a public hearing and consider any protests
against the formation of the CFD. If the owners of one half or more of the land within
the proposed boundaries of the CFD file written protests against the establishment of
the CFD, the Mayor and City Council may not create the CFD. If a majority protest is
not filed, the Mayor and City Council may adopt the resolution establishing the CFD.
Adoption of Resolution No. 2019-178 on July 17, 2019 established CFD 2019-1,
pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 53325.1. After a CFD is
formed, the Mello-Roos Act requires that for any annexations into the CFD an election
be held on the question of whether the proposed special taxes should be levied. The
election requires a two-thirds vote in favor of levying the special tax. The landowners
filed waivers with respect to the conduct of the election pursuant to Government Code
Sections 53326(a) and 53327(b), meaning that the time limits and procedural
requirements for conducting an election under the Mello-Roos Act do not have to be
followed. Accordingly, City staff has already mailed the election ballots to the
landowners and required the ballots to be returned by the close of the public hearing . If
the Mayor and City Council adopt Resolution No. 2020-89, it may immediately proceed
to the opening of the ballots and adopt Resolution No. 2020 -90, declaring the results of
the election.

2020-2025 Strategic Key Targets and Goals
Formation of this CFD is consistent with Key Target No 4a: Secure a long-term revenue
source. Funding from district assessments will create sustainable financial support for
ongoing maintenance of landscape and infrastructure associated with the district
location.
Fiscal Impact
No General Fund impact. The individual property owners in the CFD will be responsible
for annual payments of special taxes. It is estimated, upon full completion of the
development, there will be an annual collection of special tax revenues of approximately
$33,789 to be used to pay for maintenance costs within the development.
On June 1 of each year, every taxable unit for which a building permit has been issued
within the boundaries of the CFD, will be subject to the special tax for the ensuing Fiscal
Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given Fiscal Year, prior
to build-out of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available from parcels for
which building permits have been issued, then the special tax may also be applied to
property within recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other undeveloped property
within the boundaries of the CFD.
All costs associated with annexation into the CFD have been borne by the Developer.
By annexing into the CFD, the costs of maintaining improvements located within the
development will be financed through special taxes levied on the parcels within CFD
No. 2019-1 and not through the City’s General Fund.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Hold a Public Hearing; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2020-89 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of
San Bernardino, California, calling an election to submit to the qualified
electors the question of levying a special tax within the are proposed to be
annexed to Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services)
(Annexation No. 2); and
3. Hold a special landowner election and canvass the election; and
4. Adopt Resolution No. 2020-90 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of
San Bernardino, California, declaring election results for Community Facilities
District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) (Annexation No. 2); and
5. Introduce Ordinance No. MC-1536 of the Mayor and City Council of the City
of San Bernardino, California, amending Ordinance No. MC-1522 and levying
special taxes to be collected during Fiscal Year 2020 -21 to pay the annual
