SUBJECT:Study Session - Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFD).
(CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and discuss the presentation made at the study
session, and provide direction to staff.
BACKGROUND:
Prior to the 2012 elimination of redevelopment agencies in California, Rancho Cucamonga and
many other cities used tax increment financing to invest in infrastructure to support the
development of their communities. With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, that important
tool was lost in our state.
In 2014, SB 628 created a new tool called the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD).
In a manner similar to how redevelopment worked, EIFD’s provide for the use of tax increment
financing for certain types of infrastructure and other public investments. The original legislation
has since been amended a number of times to further clarify how EIFD’s work and provide for
additional uses of EIFD revenues. The attached white paper from Kosmont Companies provides
for a brief overview of how EIFD’s function (Attachment 1).
ANALYSIS:
This year, the City retained Kosmont Companies to assist with an evaluation regarding how an
EIFD might be used to make targeted infrastructure investments in support of the new General
Plan and to capitalize on the coming investments at Cucamonga Station.
At the study session, staff and the consultant will provide an overview of the analysis and the
proposed projects for the Council’s consideration and direction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None by this action.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
Conducting this public hearing is in keeping with the City Council’s mission to ensure and advance
the quality of life for the community, and its core value of intentionally embracing and anticipating
the future.

Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (“EIFD”) Overview
Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (“EIFD”) are an economic development and public finance
tool introduced by Senate Bill 628 in 2014. EIFDs are the predominant form of Tax Increment Financing
(“TIF”) in California following the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies in 2012.
EIFD and TIF are a form of value-capture, where a lead agency (must be a city or a county) designates
a boundary around parcels positioned for new development or rehabilitation. The assessed property
value within the district is “frozen” at the time of formation as the “baseline” of assessed value for the
district. Over time, as new development or rehabilitation occurs and new property value is added to
properties within the district, participating taxing entities can dedicate all or a portion of the new
incremental property tax from values above the baseline (“property tax increment”) to the EIFD with a
dedicated purpose of funding infrastructure (and optionally affordable housing).
Current law includes a lengthy definition of infrastructure eligible to be funded by EIFDs, including
roadway, utility, open space, and transit improvements, remediation activities, government facilities,
parking, broadband infrastructure, affordable housing, and numerous other categories, preceded by the
phrase “including, but not limited to”, demonstrating the legislative intent for the tool to be flexible.
EIFDs can also fund improvements outside of the district boundary, so long as the improvements
benefit the properties within the district boundary. EIFDs can also fund maintenance costs, so long as
the assets being maintained were initially installed at least partially utilizing EIFD funding.
EIFDs do not create a new tax, nor do they encumber any existing agency revenues or resources.
EIFDs allow taxing entities like cities, counties, and special district to set aside, similar to a retirement
account, a portion of future property tax revenues for special purposes, such as infrastructure. When
EIFDs are delineated and utilized appropriately, the argument is that the new assessed property value
growth from new development and rehabilitation would not have otherwise occurred but for the creation
of the EIFD and the dedication of revenues to solve for critical infrastructure needs. This argument has
historically been well-received by private sector development and investment entities as well as third-
party grant sources, which rely on the property tax increment dedication as complementary and local
match funding, respectively.
EIFD property tax increment may be used on a pay-as-you-go basis or leveraged in the form of EIFD
bond issuances. There is no public vote required to form an EIFD or to issue EIFD debt; however, the
formation process includes a series of public meetings and hearings that allows the community to
comment on the proposed Infrastructure Financing Plan (“IFP”) that would govern EIFD activities. The
final public hearing includes an opportunity for landowners and residents within the district boundary to
protest formation of the district. If more than 50% of the combined number of landowners and residents
within the EIFD protest formation, the process must halt for at least one year. If no protest occurs, the
EIFD is authorized for both formation and future debt issuance.
The EIFD is governed by an entity called the Public Financing Authority (“PFA”). The composition of the
PFA varies, depending on which taxing entities are committing property tax increment to the EIFD. In a
scenario where the lead agency (such as the City of Rancho Cucamonga) is the only entity contributing
property tax increment, the PFA is comprised of five members, including three members of the city
council and two members of the public appointed by the city council. If two or more taxing entities are
contributing property tax increment, such as the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the County of San

Bernardino, the PFA is comprised of at least five members (could be more), where the majority (e.g.,
three out of five) are either members of the city council or members of the county board of supervisors,
and at least two public members appointed by elected officials of the participating taxing entities. For
the EIFDs established so far in California where a city and a county are both contributing property tax
increment, the “template” for PFA composition has been two members of the city council, one member
of the county board of supervisors, one member of the public appointed by the city council, and one
member of the public appointed by the county board of supervisors, for a total of five members.
There are approximately ten EIFDs established in California as of the time of this report, and there are
more than ten additional EIFDs currently in the formation process.

Preliminary Feasibility Analysis
November 2021
Executive Summary
Communicating in a Digital World
2
•The City of Rancho Cucamonga significant potential for new private sector investment and development
potential (~$5.5+ billion) of regional significance over the next 5-20 years across multiple opportunity
site areas in the City (downtown/TOD area, eastern industrial area, other)
•Investments in critical infrastructure are needed to support new development, such as station area
transit-supportive infrastructure, roadways, parks and open space, and other public improvements
•A public/private financing strategy that includes Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”)financing and other
complementary sources has been evaluated by Kosmont to be well-suited to capture value from new
development to fund targeted critical infrastructure
•While a City-only special district strategy would likely achieve favorable “return on investment” for the
City, a partnership between the City and County of S.B. with emphasis on funding regionally beneficial
infrastructure would further improve financial feasibility and long-term positive fiscal impacts for
both the City and County general funds
•Subject to feedback from City staff and Council, immediate next steps could include initial County
outreach to determine viability for partnership

•There are advantages / disadvantages to EIFD compared to other mechanisms, such as general obligation (GO) bonds,
lease revenue bonds / COPs, Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) financing, assessment districts, and other
tools
•Advantages of EIFD include no encumbrance of existing city/county resources, can attract tax increment contributions
from other taxing entities, increased priority for grant funding, ability to demonstrate commitment to multiple
infrastructure (and/or affordable housing) projects to catalyze private sector development, capacity to fund maintenance,
no additional taxes to property owners / residents / businesses, and ease of voter approval
•Disadvantages of EIFD include lack of comparable financings thus far, statutory vs. constitutional authority to issue
debt, and subordination to redevelopment successor agency obligations,
•Advantages of EIFD vs. Other CA TIF Tools (e.g. CRIA, IFD, IRFD, AHA, SIFD) include flexibility in delineating project
areas, capacity to dedicate property tax in lieu of MVLF, district duration, and governing board composition and
corresponding implications for taxing entity partnership
•Complementary Tool: EIFD should not be considered a replacement for other useful financing mechanisms, but
rather a complementary tool; other jurisdictions have been successful in utilizing EIFD as well as other tools for
different projects within the same community

Boundary and Strategic Considerations
Feasibility Analysis Approach for Rancho Cucamonga
1.Define district boundary alternatives based on areas where infrastructure investment will catalyze and support
new/accelerated investment and development (two scenarios evaluated)
2.Estimate future development within each boundary scenario in terms of magnitude (# units, square footage,
hotel rooms), timing, and assessed value
3.Identify eligible public agencies that receive property tax increment within the district (e.g. City, County), as well
as their corresponding shares of future property tax increment (different levels of contribution evaluated)
4.Determine EIFD revenue potential based on boundary and development assumptions (#1 and #2 above) and
portion of increment available to an EIFD based on EIFD-eligible taxing entities (#3 above)
5.Identify additional complementary funding sources, such as Community Facilities Districts (CFD) and grants on
a project-specific basis

Potential Partner Agencies
Property Tax Distribution
Primary non-school recipients and potential
contributors of property tax are City of R.C.
and County of S.B.
City receives approx. 17.6%of every $1
collected in property taxes within the EIFD
Study Area, between the City and City Fire
City additionally receives equivalent of
approx. 7.3%of property tax in lieu of MVLF,
also available to EIFD
County receives approx. 14.5%
County additionally receives equivalent of
approx. 12.1%of property tax in lieu of MVLF,
also available to EIFD, but not incorporated
into this analysis to be conservative
School-related entities cannot participate
As counties tend to rely more heavily on property tax revenue sources generated by new development within incorporated jurisdictions, it is Kosmont’s experience that it is not reasonable to
assume contribution of property tax in lieu of MVLF by the County. As cities benefit from additional non-property tax revenue sources (e.g., sales tax, transient occupancy tax) from new
development, it is Kosmont’s experience that it is reasonable for cities to consider contributing property tax in lieu of MVLF.

Next Steps
•Receive and incorporate feedback from City Council
•Discuss with potential partners (e.g., County) to determine feasibility for cooperation
•Refine analysis assumptions (e.g., boundary, development projections, levels of contribution,
targeted infrastructure costs) based on continued outreach and feedback
•Pursue district formation to establish base year for incremental value growth as soon as feasible
(first action would be City/County adoption of a Resolution of Intent)
•Continue to pursue opportunities for external funding sources (e.g. IIG and AHSC grants),
ideally under joint City/County EIFD platform for greater priority
