The conditions of approval for the Tract require the developer to construct certain drainage and landscaping improvements within and/or adjacent to the Tract. The conditions of approval also require that an assessment district be formed to fund certain City maintenance costs for these improvements. A City Council Resolution (Attachment 2) initiating the proceedings for the formation of Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District AD 15-01 for Tentative Tract 5130, City Ventures, LLC is required to proceed with the formation of the assessment district. The provisions of Proposition 218 require that any new assessment, or any increase to an existing assessment, must first be approved by a Mail Ballot provided to the owner(s) of the affected properties. An alternate procedure for forming assessment districts for new developments is to have the developer(s)/Property owner(s) sign a Petition and Waiver 1) requesting the formation of the assessment district, and 2) waiving all rights conferred by Proposition 218 with regard to Mail Ballots. City Ventures, LLC has indicated its intention to submit a signed Petition and Waiver in the near future requesting the formation of AD 15-01 and waiving all rights conferred by Proposition 218 with regard to Mail Ballots. 67 Honorable City Council March 4, 2015 Page 2 Should the City Council approve and adopt the attached resolution, it would be the intent of staff to have the City's Assessment Engineer proceed with the preparation of the Engineer's Report and return to City Council in the near future to approve the Engineer's Report, accept the Petition and Waiver and set a public hearing for eventual approval of AD 15-01. FISCAL IMPACT City Ventures, LLC has paid the required fee to cover all City and Assessment Engineer costs related to the formation of AD 15-01.
