TERRITORY IDENTIFIED AS ANNEXATION NO. 19, DREAM HOTEL, TRACT
MAP NO. 35236, INTO COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2005-1,
(PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES).
BACKGROUND:
The City Council created Community Facilities District 2005-1 (Public Safety Services)
(CFD 2005-1) to allow the City to levy a special tax on certain "fee status" (non-Indian
Allottee Leased or Tribal Trust properties) properties located within the City, to provide a
financing mechanism to sustain the delivery of public safety services to new residential
developments located on those properties. This type of financing program, which is
authorized under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, envisioned the
participation of all future new residential development projects on "fee status" lands, either
by formation of new districts or as an annexation into the original CFD 2005-1.
As new residential developments on "fee status" lands have been approved by the City,
they are conditionally approved with a requirement to annex into CFD 2005-1. CFD 2005-
1 was specifically established separately from the City's other CFD, Community Facilities
District 2007-1 (Public Safety Services) (CFD 2007-1 ), for developments located on
Indian Allottee Leased or Tribal Trust lands, and cannot be annexed into the existing CFD
2005-1 due to their unique ownership status.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
At this time, one residential development approved on "fee status" land is recommended
for annexation into CFD 2005-1:
• Annexation No. 19 -Tract Map No. 35236, identified as "Dream Hotel," a residential
development consisting of 20 multi-family residences.

The Dream Hotel project includes residential condominium units, and in accordance with
the City's policy to require new residential units to offset costs for public safety services,
the City Council conditionally approved the Dream Hotel project with a requirement to
annex into CFD 2005-1. On July 18, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24469
declaring its intention to annex the Dream Hotel project into CFD 2005-1, and scheduled
a public hearing for September 5, 2018, after which a special election by landowner vote
is to be called.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing and receive public
testimony and any landowner protests. If a majority protest is not received, the City
Council may call and conduct the special landowner election for Annexation No. 19 to
CFD 2005-1. Following a canvass of the ballots by the City Clerk, the results of the special
election will be called and the City Council may adopt the resolutions declaring the results
of the special election and introduce for the first reading the ordinance authorizing the

le vy of special tax es for CFD 2005-1 in Anne xation No. 19. All of these actions may occur
simultaneously at the public he a ring .
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The requested City Council action is not a "Project" as defined by the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a "Project" means the
whole of an action , which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in
the environment , or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment. The requested action is to auth o rize annexation of certain properties into
CFD 2005-1 , and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15378(b), in that a "Project"
does not include: (5) Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT :
Following the anne xation of the Dream Hot el project into CFD 2005-1 , and after
construction of the condominium units (issuance of building permits), the special tax to
be levied within the development will generate an additional $7,528 annually, based on
the Fiscal Year 2019/20 rates, to be used specifically for public safety services.
