RESOLUTION NO. 2000-201 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS PURSUANT TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT ACT TO CARRY OUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING PLAN FOR PARCELS 17 AND 18 OF THE CARLSBAD RANCH AMENDED SPECIFIC PLAN AREA The Legislature of the State of California has enacted a comprehensive statutory scheme, the Infrastructure Financing District Act (Government Code Section 53395 & seq.) (the “Act”), authorizing a city, county, or city and county to create an infrastructure financing district as a means of financing construction of public works and facilities for new development projects through the funding mechanism known as “tax increment financing” under which incremental increases in property taxes are allocated to finance public capital facilities associated with the district. Pursuant to the Act, the City Council (“City Council”) of the City of Carlsbad (“City”) has adopted, or concurrently with this Resolution is adopting, an Ordinance Adopting an Infrastructure Financing Plan and Creating an Infrastructure Financing District For Parcels 17 And 18 of The Carlsbad Ranch Amended Specific Plan Area (“Property”). The Infrastructure Financing Plan proposes to assist in the financing of a portion of the cost of certain public works needed for the development of the Property by the reimbursement of a portion of one-time Development Impact Fees and assessments (collectively, the “Fees”) related to eligible capital projects serving the area of the Infrastructure Financing District. The Infrastructure Financing Plan contemplates that the Fees will be paid by the developer of the LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA expansion and/or the developer of the proposed LEG0 hotel, at the time of building permit issuance, and that the Infrastructure Financing District will reimburse the eligible portion of these Fees, as tax increment funding from the Infrastructure Financing District becomes available over time, and that a bond will be issued to such developers to document the obligation of the Infi-astructure Financing District to provide such reimbursement, subject to the limitations set forth in the Infi-astructure Financing Plan. The sole purpose of the Infrastructure Financing District is to facilitate the reimbursement of a portion of the Fees. On April 18, 2000, the City Council by majority vote initiated proceedings to issue bonds pursuant to the Act by adoption of a Resolution Of Intent to Issue Bonds 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 G. H. I. J. Pursuant to the Act. Said Resolution was published in accordance with the Act. Following the adoption of said Resolution, on May 1, 2000, a landowner election was conducted in the manner required by the Act with regard to the proposal to issue the bonds.

The City Planning Director has determined that the environmental effects of issuing the bonds have already been considered in conjunction with previously certified environmental documents (EIR 91-03, MEIR 93-01 and MEIR 94-Ol), and, therefore, no additional or subsequent environmental evaluation is required. The City Council has duly considered all terms and conditions of the proposed bond issuance and believes that the proposal to issue the bonds is in the best interests of the City and the health, safety, morals and welfare of its residents, and in accord with the public purposes and provisions of applicable state and local law and requirements. The proposed bond issuance complies with all of the requirements of the Act and all actions required by law have been taken by all appropriate persons and entities.
