Body
ANALYSIS:
It is necessary that the City Council levy special taxes for the payment of certain public facilities within Community Facilities District No. 2017-2 Special Tax A (the “District”), pursuant to Section 53340 of the Government Code. These public facilities include street and traffic signals, park facilities, and certain public facilities of the Corona Norco Unified School District that are direct benefit to the District. Special taxes within the District are levied in an amount necessary to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement, as defined in the District’s Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA). Any necessary replenishment or expenditure of the reserve funds and an amount estimated for administrative expenses during the year are included in the levy. The special taxes levied will not exceed the authorized amounts as provided in the RMA.

COMMITTEE ACTION:
Not Applicable.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal 6: Improve Communications with Our Community; Objective a: Commit to transparency in all City actions. The recommended action will help achieve these goals by providing concise, forthright information regarding the annual special taxes that will be levied on each subject parcel within the District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The special tax revenues are included in the District’s Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the action is not subject to CEQA. This action merely sets the special taxes to be levied and collected within the District for Fiscal Year 2018-19, and there is no possibility that adopting the resolution will have a significant effect on the environment.
