CLASSIFICATION OF PARCELS Each Fiscal Year, all Taxable Property within each Zone of Improvement Area No. 3 shall be classified as Taxable or Non-Taxable Property and all such Taxable Property shall be subject to the levy of Special Taxes in accordance with the rate and method of apportionment determined pursuant to the sections below. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX RATE A. The Maximum Special Tax and Taxable Acreage for Taxable Property and Taxable Public Property for each Zone is shown in Table 1. TABLE 1 Zone Taxable Bond Maximum Tax Acreage Share Per Acre Zone 1 —Future RDA 55.00 91.70% $15,230.37 Zone 7— Leggio South 42.74 8.30% $ 1,963.45 B. Assignment of Maximum Annual Special Tax to Successor Parcels. The Community Facilities District (CFD) Administrator shall assign the Maximum Annual Special Tax to each Successor Parcel as follows: Resolution No. 04-180 Page 6 of 7 1) When an Original or Successor Parcel is subdivided, the CFD Administrator shall classify the resulting Successor Parcels as Taxable Parcels or Tax-Exempt parcels using the definitions in the rate and method of apportionment of special tax. 2) If the Successor Parcel is a Taxable Parcel: Calculate the percentage of the taxable Successor Parcels' square footage to the total square footage for all taxable Successor Parcels of that Original or Successor Parcel; then, Multiply this percentage by the Maximum Annual Special Tax assigned to the previous Original Parcel or Successor Parcel. The result of this calculation is the Maximum Annual Special Tax for the Taxable Successor Parcel. C. Taxable Parcels Acquired by a Public Agency Taxable Parcels that are acquired by a public agency after the CFD is formed will remain subject to the applicable Special Tax unless the Special Tax obligation is satisfied pursuant to Section 53317.5 o the Government Code. An exception to this may be made if the Public use planned for a Public Parcel within the CFD is relocated to a Taxable Parcel and the previously Tax-Exempt Parcel of comparable acreage becomes a Taxable Parcel. This trading of Parcels will be permitted to the extent that there is no net loss in Maximum Special Tax. It is anticipated that the City will acquire approximately 55 Acres that will be subject to the Special Tax. APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX For each Fiscal Year the Council shall determine the Special Tax Requirement and levy the Special Tax,taking into consideration the levy of the Improvement Area No. 3 Special Tax, until the amount of Special Taxes and Improvement Area No. 3 Special Taxes equal the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows: First: The Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax; or Second: If less monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied proportionately on each Taxable Parcel at less than 100%of the Maximum Special Tax; provided that the Council may levy an amount in excess of the Special Tax Requirement if all authorized Bonds have not already been issued. Resolution No. 04-180 Page 7 of 7 Further notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased by more than ten percent as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within Improvement Area No. 3, except for those Residential Properties whose owners are also delinquent or in default on their Special Tax payments for one or more other properties within Improvement Area No.3.
