111) and Gateway Drive. This will be for formation,of Assessment District No. 161
SUMMARY:
On February 26, 2003 City Council approved a Planned Development District(PDD)and Tentative
Tract Map (TTM 30963) for a 308 lot single-family subdivision to be located on 83.8 acres at the
northeast corner of North Palm Canyon Drive (Hwy. 111) and Gateway Drive in the northwest
entryway to Palm Springs. The developer, Century Crowell Communities, LP, (Century Vintage
Homes) has filed application for the formation of a 1913 Act Assessment District, using 1915 Act
Bonds, to utilize Municipal Bonds to fund certain public improvements associated with the project,
to lowerthe purchase price of the 308 proposed homes in the"Mountain Gate"subdivision.Century
posted a$10,000 deposit with the application in November, 2002 to cover City administrative costs
for the proposed district. The final PDD and Final Map was approved by the Planning Commission
on March 26, 2003. Century closed escrow on the purchase of the property on April 2, 2003. On
June 11, 2003 City Council approved Final Maps for Tract 30963-1 & 30963-2 as well as a
Resolution of Intention, setting the Public Hearing date for July 30, 2003. Century Vintage Homes
has submitted a signed Ballot requesting the district formation, as current sole owner of Tract
30963. A Public Hearing will be conducted and City Council will consider approval of the required
resolutions to form AD 161.
BACKGROUND:
On January 22, 1992 City Council adopted Resolution No. 17774 which established written policies
and procedures for the administration of special districts under the State of California 1911, 1913
and 1915 Improvement Acts and the Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Mello-Roos CFDs). A 32-
page "Special District Policy & Procedures" guideline manual was adopted along with the
resolution. These policies and procedures are similar to those adopted by the City and County of
Riverside and since adopted by most cities concerned about special district safeguards in
California. On October 8, 1998 the Grants and Special Districts Manager submitted a Special
Districts Guidelines Manual, at the request of City Council and City Manager, to be used as a
handout for prospective Palm Springs developers.
On April 3, 2002,the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20304 which expanded the 1992 Special
Districts Policy&Procedures, providing residential subdivisions ability to be included with qualifying
CFDs. The City also adopted state approved property owner"Disclosure Forms", which must be
distributed by developers to all prospective home buyers to disclose the costs and facts associated
with assessment district costs prior to the purchase of homes within such special districts. liq
AD 161-page 2
After Century proposed that an assessment district be formed to finance their public improvements
for"Mountain Gate" Tract 30963, City staff instituted the City's Special District Team as follows:
• CITY'S SPECIAL DISTRICT ADVISOR: Bob Mohler (RLM Consulting)
• CITY'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR: Suzanne Harrell (Harrell & Company Advisors)
• ASSESSMENT ENGINEER: Paul Thompson/Merle Schulze (Albert A. Webb Associates)
• BOND COUNSEL: Urban (Urb) Schreiner (Aleshire &Wynder, LLP)
• BOND UNDERWRITER: Sara Oberlies, VP (Stone & Youngberg, LLC)
• REAL ESTATE APPRAISER: James Harris, MAI (Harris Realty Appraisal)
• MARKET ABSORPTION ANALYST: Joseph Janczyk (Empire Economics, Inc.)
• CENTURY HOMES: Marty Butler-Project Manager&Carlos Cueva-Public Financing Mgr.
• CITY STAFF: Dave Barakian, Tom Kanarr, John Raymond, Troy Butzlaff, Trisha Sanders
On April 2, 2003 City Council approved a consultant contract with Albert A. Webb Associates (at
a cost of $29,000, plus incidentials) to prepare Preliminary and Final Engineer's Reports as the
"Assessment Engineer and Special Tax Consultant" for the project (Minute Order
No.7281/Agreement No. A4680). Webb's Preliminary Engineer's Report determines and verifies
all eligible public improvement costs proposed by the developer.The improvements include"public"
Grading, Street, Sewer, Storm Drain, Water Mains and Utility Work, as well as Street Lighting and
an off-site perimeter Landscape parkway strip. It listed all eligible engineering design costs and
detailed incidental expenses associated with the proposed 1913 Act District formation to be
financed by this assessment district. A Boundary Map was prepared, indicating the boundary
encompassing the limits of assessable lands (308 lots) within Assessment District 161.
On June 11, 2003 City Council approved the Preliminary Engineer's Report and a Resolution of
Intention, setting the Public Hearing date for July 30; also Final Maps for 30963-1 and 30963-2.
Other project consultants: City staff is in the process of hiring two additional consultants (all fees
reimbursable by Century Homes): 1. Real Estate Appraiser and 2. Market Absorption Analyst.The
Real Estate Appraiser (must be MAI approved and familiar with 1913/1915 special districts) will
analyze the current Real Estate values of the bulk land as well as the subdivided lot values based
on current sales comparables in the area. The Market Absorption Analyst will determine how
quickly the proposed homes will sell (absorb) into the real estate market, based on current similar
sales records in Southern California, Coachella Valley and Palm Springs area. All of these
consultant costs(Assessment Engineer/Real Estate Appraiser/Market Absorption Analyst/Special
District Advisor) are being paid for by the developer via deposits to the City. The City hires the
consultants and the subsequent reports are submitted directly to the City for approval. There is no
cost to the City for staff and consultant costs described above due to Century's developer deposit
contributions.
To conform with the City's adopted Special District Policies & Procedures, the total combined
appraised land and improvement values must be at least 4 times the estimated assessments. The
4:1 "Value to Lien Ratio" is conservative in the industry (which is often 3:1 in other agencies). The
overall tax rate, including assessments, cannot exceed 2% of property values.
