CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 20-065, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON ACTING IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF THE CITY OF CARSON COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2018-01 (MAINTENANCE AND SERVICES) APPROVING ANNEXATION NO. 3 OF PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE FUTURE ANNEXATION AREA (21915 DOLORES STREET; APN: 7335-003-005) (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
On November 7, 2018, the City adopted Resolution No. 18-119 establishing the City of Carson Community Facilities District No. 2018-01 (“CFD No. 2018-01”) (Maintenance and Services) and Future Voluntary Annexation Areas. With the formation of CFD No. 2018-01 complete, projects in the city-wide Future Voluntary Annexation Areas are now able to be annexed into CFD No. 2018-01. This action would authorize the annexation of the property located at 21915 Dolores Street (APN: 7335-003-005) (“Dolores Property”) into CFD No. 2018-01 by unanimous consent of the property owner. If approved, the Dolores Property will be third annexation and fourth property to be included in the CFD No. 2018-01, after Real Quest Holding (Birch) (Annexation No. 2), AL2 (Alpert & Alpert) (Annexation No. 1), and JJ.ER (CalPak) (Original CFD No. 2018-01).

IV. BACKGROUND
The Dolores Property project (“Dolores Condo Project”) consists of construction of a two-story, 5-unit residential condominium development on a 0.39 acre (16,770 sq. ft.) site. The Dolores Condo Project was approved by the Planning Commission on July 9, 2019.
When the City formed CFD No. 2018-01, certain properties including the Dolores Property were identified on the boundary map as being within the Future Voluntary Annexation Area. Pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, Section 53311, et seq. of the California Government Code (the “Act”), this prior hearing allowed the Dolores Property to be annexed by unanimous consent of affected landowners of the Property without holding a second public hearing and election of property owners.
On March 19, 2020, the Property Owner submitted an Executed Unanimous Approval Consent Letter (Exhibit No. 1) with the City for annexation into the CFD No. 2018-01. This Council action would allow the Dolores Condo Project to annex into the CFD No. 2018-01 to pay for ongoing services associated with the development. These ongoing services include all city services permitted by the CFD, including the maintenance of parks, roadways, and sidewalks. Should Council adopt Resolution No. 20-065 (Exhibit No. 2), the City Clerk, or designee, would be directed to record the Amendment No. 3 to Notice of Special Tax Lien (Exhibit No. 3) with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office to effectuate the levying of special taxes on the Dolores Property.
The Dolores Property will be taxed in accordance to Tax Zone No. 5 of the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD No. 2018-01, which amounts to $4,395.50 ($879.10 per unit) annually. The amount is consistent with the calculation methodology used to determine the “Residential - All Other” rate from the city-wide Fiscal Impact Analysis report prepared by the City’s CFD Consultant, NBS Government Finance Group, and approved by the City Council on April 2, 2019.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
Annexation of the Dolores Property into CFD No. 2018-01 will increase the City’s revenues in the Assessment District by approximately $4,395.50 annually. The cost for the annexation is paid by the developer/owner pursuant to the City’s Deposit System (Development Application Process). As a result, there is no immediate impact to the City’s General Fund.
