RECOMMENDED ACTION:

and Landscaping District No. 2 and confirming the levy of assessments.
ordering the annexation of territory to Street Lighting
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Backqround
On November 18, 2003, the City Council formed Street Lighting and Landscaping District
No. 2 (“District No. 2”). District No. 2 was formed for new development in the City, to pay for
the costs of street lights, street trees and medians within those areas. Street lights, street
trees and medians in the developed parts of the City are paid from assessments within
Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1 (“District No. I”).
Each development within District No. 2 is considered a separate zone, with their own
assessment based on the costs for that particular area of the City. There are currently eight
zones in District No. 2, including Calavera Hills II, Kelly Ranch, the Oaks South, the
Thompson/Tabata, Palomar Forum, Bressi Ranch, the Greens and the Ridge developments.
The City requires developers of larger communities within the City to be annexed into
District No. 2, as a condition for development.
Annexation of the Carlsbad Racewav
The Carlsbad Raceway development is required to annex into District No. 2 as a condition
for development. The property owner, Fenton Raceway LLC, has completed the required
Agreement Regarding Annexation of Certain Real Property to the City of Carlsbad Street
Lighting and Landscape District No. 2 and Approval of the Levy of Assessments on Such
Real Property (“Agreement”), and, has cast a positive ballot for the annexation of property.
The election was held on September 22, 2005. The City Clerk completed a Statement of
Votes Cast showing one vote cast in favor of the proposition, and zero votes cast against
the proposition. Through the signing of the Agreement, the property owner has waived all of
the procedural requirements as prescribed in the Landscaping Act to the annexation of their
property to District No. 2.
Council may formally authorize the annexation by certifying and adding the property into
District No. 2. After Council authorization, a Notice of Annexation (on file with the City Clerk)
will be filed with the County Recorder.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The parcels within this newly annexed development will not be assessed until the 2006-07
fiscal year. In June of 2006, staff will return to Council to set the maximum and actual
assessment rates for the 2006-07 fiscal year for each zone in District No. 2. The maximum
rate is the maximum annual assessment rate that can be assessed on a particular parcel.
The rate is calculated by adding up all the costs of maintenance and replacements,
assuming that all of the improvements in each zone were fully maintained by the City. The
assessment rate can only increase by the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on an
annual basis. \
Page 2 of Agenda Bill # 18,300
The maximum annual assessment rate per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) ranges from
$81.66 to $83.29 for fiscal year 2005-06. These assessments vary within the development
depending on the amount and types of improvements being maintained in each area.
Through the use of the simplified annexation procedure, both the City and the owner are
able to avoid election costs and additional time delays. The developer has paid a fee of
$4,400 to cover annexation processing and assessment engineering costs.
EXHl BITS:
1. Resolution No. 2OO5-299 ordering the annexation of territory to Street Lighting and
Landscaping District No. 2 and confirming the levy of assessments therein, with Exhibits
A, B and C.
