CFD 2007-1 Annexation No. 1 & No. 2
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City Council created Community Facilities District 2007-1 (Public Safety Services)
(CFD 2007-1) to allow the City to levy a special tax on certain properties located within
the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians Reservation on Indian Allottee leased
property or Tribal Trust property, 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 Indian Allottee leased properties or Tribal Trust
properties, either by formation of new Districts or as an annexation into the original CFD
2007-1.
As new residential developments on Allottee leased or Tribal Trust properties have
been approved by the City, they are conditionally approved with a requirement to annex
into CFD 2007-1. CFD 2007-1 was specifically established separately from the City's
other District, Community Facilities District 2005-1 (Public Safety Services) (CFD 2005-
1), for properties that are located on Indian Allotted or Tribal Trust property, and cannot
be annexed into the existing CFD 2005-1 due to their unique ownership status. Under
both Federal and State case law, Allottee or Tribal Trust property is held "in trust" by the
Federal Government for the benefit of its Indian Allottee land owners or the Tribe itself.
As such, the land has been determined "an instrumentality" of the Federal Government
and is not subject to direct taxation, including the special tax levied through CFD 2005-
1.
Although Indian Allottee land owners are not considered "landowners" for purposes of
the Act and cannot be taxed directly, it has been determined that the possessory or
leasehold interest is subject to taxation. Since CFD 2005-1 does not provide for an
encumbrance against possessory interest, the City formed CFD 2007-1 to
accommodate the Indian Allottee or Tribal Trust properties, as well as to attach the
burden of CFD 2007-1 to the possessory interest.
At this time, two residential developments approved on Indian Allottee leased or Tribal
Trust property are recommended for annexation into CFD 2007-1:
• Annexation No. 1 — Tract Map No. 36815, identified as "Canyon Lofts," a residential
development consisting of 32 multi-family units and 2 live/work units; and
• Annexation No. 2 — Tract Map No. 36651, identified as "18 @ Twin Palms," a
residential development consisting of 18 single-family units.
The location maps for each development are included in this report.

CFD 2007-1 Annexation No. 1 & No. 2
In order to commence the annexation process, the City Council is required to adopt a
Resolution of Intention for each of the annexations. This Resolution sets forth terms
and conditions for annexing properties into CFD 2007-1 and includes the rate and
apportionment of the special tax to be levied. This Resolution also schedules a Public
Hearing on the proposed annexations, which by statute must be held within 30-60 days
following the adoption of this Resolution. In accordance with this requirement, staff
recommends that the Public Hearing be scheduled for September 2, 2015. Pursuant to
the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, there are less than 12 registered
voters in each of the properties to be annexed into CFD 2007-1; therefore, the special
election will be a landowner vote within each annexation.
Prior to the public hearing, property owners within each annexation will return a petition
with waivers to the City, waiving certain timing and noticing requirements related to
Election Code, which will enable the City to expedite the annexation process by
conducting the special election during the September 2, 2015, Public Hearing. Included
with each Resolution of Intention, the City Council also establishes the boundaries of
the territory to be annexed into CFD 2007-1; the Resolutions will be recorded with the
County Assessor's Office upon adoption.
The special tax that is currently being assessed on properties within CFD 2007-1 is
based upon a Fiscal Impact Analysis that was prepared by MuniFinancial. Based on
this analysis, the current special tax for a single-family residence is $408.43 per year,
and will increase by the annual escalation factor until it reaches the maximum of $500.
The current special tax for a multi-family residence is $344.25, and cannot exceed the
maximum of$500. The special tax is collected as part of the annual property tax.
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 authorize annexation of certain properties into
CFD 2007-1, 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 annexation of these two residential developments into CFD 2007-1, after
construction of the units (issuance of building permits), the special tax to be levied
within these developments will generate an additional $19,402 annually to be used
specifically for public safety services.
