ACTING AS THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE COMMUNITY
FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2003 -2 (CANYON HILLS), HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES,
RESOLVES, AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Each of the above recitals is true and correct.
Section 2. An improvement area to be designated "Improvement Area E of
Community Facilities District No. 2003 -2 is hereby established pursuant to the Act. The
Council hereby finds and determines that all prior proceedings taken with respect to the
annexation of Improvement Area E were valid and in conformity with the requirements of law,
including the Act. This finding is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 53325.1(b)
of the Act.
Section 3. The boundaries of Community Facilities District No. 2003 -2 are
established as shown on the map designated "Map of Proposed Boundaries of City of Lake
Elsinore Community Facilities District No. 2003 -2 (Canyon Hills) ", which map is on file in the
office of the City Clerk and was recorded pursuant to Sections 3111 and 3113 of the Streets and
Highways Code in the City of County Book of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities
Districts in the Assessor - County Clerk- Recorder's office of the County of Riverside in Book No.
79 Page Nos. 47 -48, on March 14, 2016, as Instrument No. 2016 - 0097839.
Section 4. The types of Facilities and Incidental Expenses authorized to be provided
for Improvement Area E are those set forth in Attachment "B" attached hereto. The estimated
cost of the Facilities and Incidental Expenses to be financed is set forth in the Engineer's
Report, which estimates may change as the Facilities are designed and bid for construction and
acquisition, as applicable.
The City is authorized by the Act to contribute revenue to, or to construct or acquire the
Facilities, all in accordance with the Act. The Council finds and determines that the proposed
Facilities are necessary to meet the increased demand that will be placed upon local agencies
and public infrastructure as a result of new development within the District and that the Facilities
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2016 -032
PAGE 3OF6
to be financed, including those to be financed pursuant to a joint community facilities agreement
to be entered into with the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (the "Water District "), benefit
residents of the City and the future residents of the District. The District anticipates entering into
a join community facilities agreement with the Water District prior to the approval of the
issuance of bonds pursuant to the Act for Improvement Area E.
Section 5. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of this
Council, subject to the approval of the eligible voters of Improvement Area E, to levy annually a
special tax at the rates set forth in Attachment "A" hereto on all non- exempt property within
Improvement Area E sufficient to pay for (i) the Facilities, (ii) the principal and interest and other
periodic costs on the bonds proposed to be issued to finance the Facilities and Incidental
Expenses, including the establishment and replenishment of reserve funds, any remarketing,
credit enhancement and liquidity facility fees and other expenses of the type permitted by
Section 53345.3 of the Act; and (iii) the Incidental Expenses. The District expects to incur, and
in certain cases has already incurred, Incidental Expenses in connection with the annexation of
Improvement Area E, the issuance of bonds, the levying and collecting of the special tax, the
completion and inspection of the Facilities and the annual administration of the bonds and
Improvement Area E. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax is described in
detail in Attachment "A" hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and the City Council
hereby finds that Attachment "A" contains sufficient detail to allow each landowner within
Improvement Area E to estimate the maximum amount that may be levied against each parcel.
As described in greater detail in the Engineer's Report, which is incorporated by reference
herein, the special tax is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within
Improvement Area E will place on the Facilities and on the benefit that each parcel will derive
from the right to access the Facilities and, accordingly, is hereby determined to be reasonable.
The special tax shall be levied on each assessor's parcel provided, however, that the special tax
shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2057 -58. The special tax is apportioned to each parcel on
the foregoing bases pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such special tax is not on or
based upon the ownership of real property or the assessed value of real property.
If special taxes of the District for Improvement Area E are levied against any parcel used
for private residential purposes, (i) the maximum special tax rate shall be specified as a dollar
amount which shall be calculated and established not later than the date on which the parcel is
first subject to the special tax because of its use for private residential purposes and shall not be
increased over time, except that it may be increased by an amount not to exceed two percent
(2 %) per year to the extent permitted in the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax
set forth in Attachment "A," (ii) the special tax shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2057 -58, and
(iii) under no circumstances will the special tax levied against any such parcel used for private
residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or
owners of any other parcel or parcels within the District by more than ten percent above the
amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such
delinquencies or defaults.
The City Manager of the City of Lake Elsinore, 130 South Main Street, Lake Elsinore,
California 92530, telephone number (951) 674 -3124, will be responsible for preparing annually,
or authorizing a designee to prepare, a current roll of special tax levy obligations by assessor's
parcel number and will be responsible for estimating future special tax levies pursuant to
Section 53340.2 of the Act.
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2016 -032
PAGE 4 OF 6
Section 6. In the event that a portion of the property within Improvement Area E shall
become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the special tax specified in
Attachment "A" hereto, or in the event of delinquencies in the payment of special taxes levied,
the Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 2003 -2, increase the levy within
Improvement Area E to the extent necessary and permitted by law and these proceedings upon
the remaining property within Improvement Area E which is not exempt or delinquent in order to
yield the required debt service payments on any outstanding bonds of the District for
Improvement Area E, or to prevent the District from defaulting on any of its other obligations or
liabilities; provided, however, under no circumstances will the special tax levied against any
parcel used for private residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or
default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within Improvement Area E by
more than ten percent above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had
there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. The amount of the special tax will be set
in accordance with the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax attached hereto as
Attachment "A." The obligation to pay special taxes may be prepaid only as set forth in Section
G of Attachment "A" hereto.
Section 7. Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien pursuant to Section
3114.5 of the Streets and Highways Code, a continuing lien to secure each levy of the special
tax shall attach to all non - exempt real property in Improvement Area E and this lien shall
continue in force and effect until the special tax obligation is prepaid and permanently satisfied
and the lien canceled in accordance with law or until collection of the special tax by the District
within Improvement Area E ceases.
Section 8. Consistent with Section 53325.6 of the Act, the City Council finds and
determines that the land within Improvement Area E, if any, devoted primarily to agricultural,
timber or livestock uses and being used for the commercial production of agricultural, timber or
livestock products is contiguous to other land within Improvement Area E and will be benefited
by the Facilities proposed to be provided within Improvement Area E.
Section 9. It is hereby further determined that there is no ad valorem property tax
currently being levied on property within proposed Improvement Area E for the exclusive
purpose of paying the principal of or interest on bonds or other indebtedness incurred to finance
the construction of capital facilities which provide the same services to the territory of
Improvement Area E as are proposed to be provided by the Facilities to be financed by
Community Facilities District No. 2003 -2 for Improvement Area E.
Section 10. Written protests against the annexation of Improvement Area E have not
been filed by one -half or more of the registered voters within the boundaries of Improvement
Area E or by the property owners of one -half (1/2) or more of the area of land within
Improvement Area E. The Council hereby finds that the proposed special tax has not been
precluded by a majority protest pursuant to Section 53324 of the Act.
Section 11. An election is hereby called for Improvement Area E on the proposition of
levying the special tax on the property within Improvement Area E pursuant to Section 53325.7
of the Act and shall be consolidated with the election on the proposition of incurring bonded
indebtedness, pursuant to Sections 53351 and 53353.5 of the Act. The language of the
