TOPIC: THE VILLAGE AT LOCH LOMOND MARINA – MELLO-ROOS DISTRICT NO. 2
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION SETTING THE SPECIAL TAX FOR CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2 (THE VILLAGE AT LOCH LOMOND
MARINA) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-25
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution setting the special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2024-25 for Community Facilities District
No. 2 (The Village at Loch Lomond Marina).
BACKGROUND: In August 2007, the City granted land use and subdivision approvals for the Village at
Loch Lomond Marina development. The Loch Lomond development project is a mixed-use development
which includes the construction of single-family homes, flats, townhomes, and commercial facilities and
the existing marina. The project originally included the approval of 81 residential units, 17 of which were
below-market units. In 2020, the developer and City reached an agreement on an in-lieu fee for six of the
below-market units, leaving 11 below-market units in the district at present.
As one condition of approving the project, the City required the developer, Marina Village Associates
(MVA), to provide certain park and recreation improvements and to impose a special tax on homes in the
development in order to pay for the maintenance of the landscaping, streets, sidewalks and wetland
monitoring.
By adoption of Resolution No. 13014 on July 19, 2010, the City Council officially formed the community
facilities district, which included all the parcels within the Village at Loch Lomond Marina Subdivision, as
“City of San Rafael Community Facilities District No. 2”, pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities
Act of 1982 (Government Code sections 53311 - 53368.3). It should be noted that the residential Below
Market Rate (BMR) units within the district are exempt from the annual special tax.
The facilities to be maintained by the Loch Lomond #2 CFD include:
•The marina green and boardwalk
•Kayak launch
•Park play equipment and area
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
• Pedestrian pathways along the west jetty/spit and east jetty/spit
• Viewing areas along the west jetty/spit, east jetty/spit
• Public restrooms (2), one on the east jetty/spit and one at the entrance to the breakwater
• Fishing cleaning station located near the entrance to the breakwater
• Park and informational signs within these areas
• Lawn/turf, shrubs and ground cover, irrigation systems, storm water drainage inlets within the
boundaries of the area, lighting pole standards, and fixtures above the foundation, benches, trash
receptacles, and bicycle racks
• Conservation/seasonal wetland area
• Roadways and sidewalks
While some of these facilities require regular maintenance (e.g., landscaping and restroom maintenance),
others will need to build up reserves over a longer period of time in order to fund future repairs or
reconstruction (e.g., playground structure, roads, pedestrian pathways).
The special tax has two components:
1. Capital Reserve
A portion of the annual assessment is set aside to fund larger, long-term capital improvements
such as the eventual replacement of pavement, curb and gutter, roadway, and other
improvements that were constructed as a part of the development. At the end of the useful life of
these large-scale public improvements, enough funds need to have been accumulated to replace
them – e.g., resurfacing the access road, etc.
As of June 30, 2024, the Capital Reserve Fund is projected to have a fund balance of $587,124,
and an additional $131,030 will be added this year. As shown in Part B of the Engineer’s Report,
at the end of FY 2024-25, the fund balance is anticipated to be $718,154 before unforeseen
distributions in FY 2024-25.
2. Annual Maintenance
The other portion of the annual special tax is to fund the regular and annual maintenance activities
required to maintain the district’s public facilities, such as landscaping of medians and pathways,
garbage service, restroom maintenance, and the semi-annual monitoring of wetland habitats.
This fiscal year, the District contracted with Forester and Kroeger to provide this service in a
manner similar to the level of maintenance that is provided in other City parks. It has become
apparent that the contracted level of maintenance for both the grounds and landscaping are less
than what the residents desire. The owner of the marina, Safe Harbor Marinas, has continued to
assist with the responsibility for the ground maintenance. During FY 2024-25, the City will have
a new service provider for this maintenance and this should alleviate a majority of the current
residents’ concerns. The budgets for FY 2024-25 indicated in Part B reflects an increased level
of maintenance that has been requested by the residents.
The special tax was first levied during the FY 2017-18, based on upon the progress being made on
construction of the subdivision improvements. It was imperative that funds were available for annual
maintenance once the public improvements were turned over to the City and to start funding the Capital
Reserves since the improvements, while not accepted by the City, were being used by the residents and
the public.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
However, various construction delays resulted in the developer, Marina Village Associates, LLC, not
finishing the improvements that year as anticipated. Various punch-lists were provided to the developer
and on February 15, 2022, the City accepted the landscaping and streets, drainage, and other facilities
with the exception of the Central Jetty Park, adjacent parking and restroom and the Breakwater
connector, adjacent parking, and restroom. Since then, the Breakwater Access Trail and East Jetty Park
have been almost completed, and the restrooms have been opened.
ANALYSIS:
The fiscal year 2024-25 Engineer’s Report recommends the District assess properties in the District at
an amount of $2,660.34 per residential unit. Since City maintenance of some of the public facilities has
not yet begun, there is available fund balance to use towards the annual maintenance costs for FY 2024-
25 and therefore the maximum assessment does not need to be levied. However, an assessment that
goes towards the capital reserve fund will be levied at the full amount since the facilities must be
eventually replaced based on their anticipated useful life.
The last five years of assessment include:
Residential
(per unit)
Non-
Residential
(per sq ft)
Marina
(lump sum)
FY 2020-21 Max. allowable $3,193 $1.51 $97,155
Actual $1,597 $0.75 $48,576
FY 2021-22 Max. allowable $3,193 $1.51 $97,155
Actual $1,597 $0.75 $48,576
FY 2022-23 Max. allowable $3,315 $1.57 $100,857
Actual $2,203.18 $1.04 $67,034.60
FY 2023-24 Max. allowable $3,611.99 $1.70 $109,899.14
Actual $2,533.66 $1.19 $77,089.80
FY 2024-25
(Proposed)
Max. allowable $3,697.45 $1.74 $112,499.52
Actual (proposed) $2,660.34 $1.24 $80,943.46
Adjustments to Maximum Allowable Assessment reflect an increase in inflation from the base year of
June 2010. The increases are based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco-Oakland-
Hayward region. Based on prior year’s expenses and the estimated costs for the services currently out
for bid, the Engineer recommends that the District increase the assessment for FY 2024-25 by 5% over
the FY 2023-24 amount.
The fiscal year 2024-25 assessment will generate $294,757.26 in revenues, of which $131,030 will be
applied toward the Capital Reserve Fund, as consistent with the capital reserve set-aside policies in the
Engineer’s Report. The remaining $163,727.26 will go towards the Annual Maintenance Fund and will be
supplemented with contingency funds to cover the difference between expected revenue and the planned
maintenance expenditures as follows:
FY 2024-25 Projected Expenses
Category Description Amount
Maintenance Restroom Cleaning and Maintenance $25,000
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4
Restroom Supplies $2,400
Pit Toilet Pumping Service $32,000
Litter/Garbage Removal (Combined with
restroom cleaning
services)
Landscape Maintenance $55,000
Tree Care $12,000
Playground Equipment Inspection $1,600
Street Sweeping $800
City Staff Time (Maintenance,
Oversight, etc.)
$11,500
Utility Costs (Water, Sewer and
Electrical)
$38,000
County/City Administrative Fee $138
Total Estimated Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Expenses $178,438
Special Charges Signs $4,926
Bench Painting $2,000
Misc. Paver Repairs $1,500
Light Fixture Repairs $1,000
Slurry Seal $15,000
Total Special Charges Expenses $23,926
Total Maintenance and Special Charges $202,864
Annual Capital Reserve Fund Contribution $131,030
Total Loch Lomond CFD #2 FY 2024-25 Expenditures $333,894
The special tax is not term-based, nor does it sunset. The special tax will continue to be levied in
perpetuity as specified in the formation documents.
Staff prepared a resolution for the City Council to consider for adoption to impose the required special
tax for fiscal year 2024-25. The special taxes will be included on the County property tax bills and will be
collected by the County of Marin.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal year 2024-25 assessment will generate $294,757 in revenue required to
support maintenance and capital reserves towards the new City facilities in Community Facilities
District No. 2. All special tax revenues and expenditures related to the district will be maintained in the
Loch Lomond Marina Assessment District Fund (fund no. 237).
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter:
1. Adopt the resolution as presented, setting the special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
2. Adopt the resolution with modifications.
3. Direct staff to return with more information.
4. Take no action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution setting the Mello-Roos Special Tax for City of San Rafael Community Facilities
District No. 2 for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Loch Lomond Project
The Loch Lomond development project (the “Project”) is a mixed-use development which will
include the construction of single-family homes, townhomes and commercial facilities and will
include the existing marina, which is located in San Francisco Bay. The Project is located in the City
of San Rafael (“City”), off of Point San Pedro Road. It was approved by the San Rafael City
Council (“City Council”) of the City in 2007, by means of a series of approvals, including Resolution
12332 (“the Approval Resolution”). As one condition of approving the Project, the City required
the developer to provide certain park and recreation improvements and to provide for their
maintenance by means of a special tax to be imposed by means of a Mello-Roos Community
Facilities District (“CFD”). Since the approval of the Project, the developer has determined that it
would be more beneficial to the property owners, and more cost-efficient if the maintenance of
certain additional facilities, consisting of landscaping and street and sidewalk improvements, as well
as wetland monitoring, could also be financed by means of the CFD. Collectively, the park and
recreation improvements, landscaping, streets, and sidewalks and these additional facilities are
referred to herein as the “Facilities.”
On June 7, 2010, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to form a CFD (the
“Resolution of Intention”) in accordance with the Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act of
1982 (the “Act”). The Resolution of Intention indicated that the maintenance of the Facilities
would be financed by means of a special tax imposed pursuant to the Act. The Resolution of
Intention requested the preparation of this Report, directing that the report describe the facilities to
be maintained and an estimate of the cost of maintaining those facilities.
For purposes of imposing a special tax to fund the maintenance of the Facilities, the development
will be split into four tax categories: Residential; Non-residential; Mixed-use and Marina. As
approved, the Project features 81 residential units, of which 76 units will be located in the
Residential tax category and 5 units will be in the Mixed-use category, as they will be located above
commercial space. Of these residential units, 11 will be below-market units, located in the
residential category area. There is expected to be 22,500 square feet in the Non-residential category,
which will be devoted to neighborhood commercial/retail businesses and marina-support facilities.
The Marina category contains areas serving the existing marina area, including the yacht club.
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982
In the Approval Resolution, the City Council determined that the Act would be an effective tool for
funding the maintenance of the park and recreation improvements and conservation area. The Act
provides substantial flexibility as to the range of facilities and services that can be funded and the
method by which their cost can be allocated. As the financing mechanism is a special tax, and not
an assessment, the costs can be allocated according to any method that is reasonable, without the
need to make a specific finding of benefit to each property. The Act permits the City Council to
form the CFD and allows for the owners of the property, if it is uninhabited, to vote to approve the
special tax (which requires a two-thirds majority).
Purpose of the CFD Report
As directed in the Resolution of Intention, this CFD Report has been prepared and is being

DISTRICT NO. 2/2. Loch Lomond CFD #2 Annual Engineer's Report 2024-25.docx
submitted pursuant to Section 53321.5 of the Act. The Act requires that this report describe the
facilities to be maintained (see “Description of Facilities to be Maintained” below)
Formation of the CFD
On June 7, 2010, the City Council adopted the Resolution of Intention. A map identifying the
boundaries is attached as Exhibit A to this work.
On July 19, 2010 the City Council held a public hearing, as required by the Act, to hear any protests
to the formation of the CFD and to consider this report. Following the public hearing, the Council
adopted a Resolution of Formation and called an election to allow the qualified electors to consider
the special tax to fund the services described herein. With at least two-thirds of the votes cast in
favor of the special tax, the CFD was formed and the levy of the special tax was authorized.
Description of Facilities to be Maintained
The facilities to be maintained include those specifically described in Condition 45 of the Approval
Resolution:
• The Marina Green and Boardwalk
• Kayak Launch
• Park Play Equipment and Area
• Pedestrian pathways along the west jetty/spit and east jetty/spit
• Viewing areas along the west jetty/spit, east jetty/spit
• Public restrooms (2), one on the east jetty/spit and one at the entrance to the breakwater
• Fishing cleaning station located near the entrance to the breakwater
• Park and informational signs within these areas
• Lawn/turf, shrubs and ground cover, irrigation systems, storm water drainage inlets within
the boundaries of the area, lighting pole standards, and fixtures above the foundation,
benches, trash receptacles and bicycle racks
• Conservation/seasonal wetland area
• Roads, streets, sidewalks, and stormwater infrastructure
In addition, the CFD will also maintain the common access road shown on the map attached as
Exhibit D, its landscaping, lighting and sidewalk areas.
In July 2017, the San Rafael City Council approved levying the first assessment for Community
Facilities District No. 2 (“CFD-2”) at the Village at Loch Lomond Marina. The CFD activity during
Fiscal Year 2017-2018 was very minimal. After a number of assurances in 2017, the developer, TH
Loch Lomond, LLC (“MVA”) did not finish the work to a point where the City could accept a
portion of the improvements as anticipated in the beginning of Fiscal Year 2017-2018. On June 1,
2018, the City received a letter from MVA requesting an extension of the Subdivision Improvement
Agreements through December 31, 2019 and, by implication, acceptance of a portion of the
improvements. The City answered this letter on June 20, 2018, including a final punch list which the
letter directed the developer to complete prior to August 1, 2018. The successful completion of the
punch list would set the process in motion to accept the improvements, begin the warranty period,
and provide a partial reduction in bond amount for the improvements.

DISTRICT NO. 2/2. Loch Lomond CFD #2 Annual Engineer's Report 2024-25.docx
Prior Status and Actions
For previous year’s status reports consult 2023-2024 and earlier Engineer’s Reports.
June 2024 Status and Actions
The Village Master Association and Strand Homeowners Association continue to request the City
for a more active role advising the District. The Associations have concerns with the maintenance
of the landscape and some of the infrastructure, as well as the master developer’s inability to
complete the project.
As noted in previous years, the residents and business owners face a particular challenge in that the
District was formed to maintain property owned by the Village Association with public easements
allowing all San Rafael residents and others to use the property.
The City and representatives of the Associations have continued to work to determine the level of
maintenance that can be sustained by the District once the developer(s) complete their work on the
public property and the remaining housing. New requests for proposals for landscaping and
janitorial services are currently in progress and services are anticipated to be in effect by the
beginning of the FY2024-25. This is expected to improve the general maintenance and upkeep of
the District and alleviate a majority of the resident’s current concerns.
The 2024-25 budget includes monies that have been allocated to maintain the district facilities at an
improved level of service, including routine janitorial and landscaping services. Since the District
has not been able to maintain the full facilities (due to the incomplete work by the developer), there
is no past actual costs to guide the budget. It appears that the level of maintenance desired by the
community is not sustainable at the current funding levels. Nonetheless, the 2024-2025 budget will
carry these numbers and be re-evaluated in the 2025-2026 report.
The repairs to the Breakwater Access Trail and East Jetty Park have been completed. The City is
currently waiting for the developer to request final acceptance from the City. In turn, the Developer
is waiting on final acceptance from BCDC, since that is necessary before the City can consider final
acceptance.
The activities of the past year include the continued landscape maintenance by Forester and Kroger.
The City has received bids for future maintenance of the landscaping in FY2024-25, and will begin
with a new service provider in FY 2024-25. The City has continued with its weekly pumping of the
pit toilet and will continue to directly manage this service in FY2024-25.
As provided in the District formation documents, the Engineer recommends that the annual
assessment be increased to cover continued cost escalation for maintenance and utilities as well as
the additional costs to provide an improved level of landscape, restroom, and restroom maintenance
than is currently performed. The District formation documents allow an annual increase of up to
3% or the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco/Oakland/Hayward region, whichever is
greater. The CPI as of February 2024 is 345.151. The base year index (2010) is 227.27. This allows
a 52% increase since the District’s formation. The maximum assessments would be as follows:
Residential $3,697.45 per residential unit

DISTRICT NO. 2/2. Loch Lomond CFD #2 Annual Engineer's Report 2024-25.docx
Non-Residential $1.74 per square foot of non-residential floor area
Marina $112,499.52 Lump Sum
The Engineer has previously suggested increasing the assessments so the District participants
experience a graduated “bump” in assessments to attain a rate that will better cover the expenses
needed to maintain the district once the City accepts the improvements from the developer. Based
on prior year’s expenses and the estimated costs for the services currently out for bid, the Engineer
recommends that the District increase the assessment for 2024-2025 by 5% over the 2023-2024 FY
as calculated in Part D and noted below. This will allow the District to assess if the newly contracted
services will be covered by the current assessment level, or if additional increases will be needed in
following years.
Proposed Assessments for the year 2024-2025:
Residential $2,660.34 per residential unit
(70 residential units: 70 x $2,660.34 = $186,223.80)
Non-Residential $1.24 per square foot of non-residential floor area
(22,250 ft2 non-residential: 22,250 x $1.24 = $27,590
Marina $80,943.46 Lump Sum
$294,757.26 Total Anticipated Revenue for the year 2024-2025
The District collects assessments to cover three areas of funding: Capital Reserve Fund, Annual
Maintenance Fund and a Contingency. The 2024 status of these funds are discussed below.
Capital Reserve Fund: The Capital Reserve Fund needs to be collected annually in order for the
District to have funds available to replace pavements, curb and gutter and other improvements in
the future as the infrastructure approaches the end of its useful life. The amount of the Capital
Reserve currently stands at $587,124 and an additional $131,030 (2.37% increase) will be added this
year. As shown below the Capital Reserve Fund, June 30, 2025, is anticipated to be $718,154 before
unforeseen distributions in 2024-2025.
Annual Maintenance: Since the Maintenance portion has only been partially tapped, this fund had
continued to build during the current fiscal year. Nevertheless, and based on the level of
maintenance expected by the residents, the Engineer recommends the District continue to assess
properties in the District.
Currently the District is carrying $260,702.23 in un-allocated maintenance since the City has only
recently accepted the improvements. As noted above this will be evaluated during FY 2024-2025 to
determine what portion of Contingency might be allocated to the maintenance or Capital Reserve
funds.
It should be noted that future increases may need to be made to bring the assessment funding in line
with the max assessments allowed in the District formation documents. At that point, further
increases would be only based on the index allowed for the District.

DISTRICT NO. 2/2. Loch Lomond CFD #2 Annual Engineer's Report 2024-25.docx
The District will be assuming all costs from the developer upon final acceptance. Since the District
will be accepting infrastructure that is several years old, the Engineer recommends that any monies
not used in District maintenance be allocated for future repairs of infrastructure under the Capital
Reserve Fund.
Contingency: As noted in the financial summary in Part B, the District carries a contingency for
unforeseen circumstances. The contingency remains relatively large in anticipation of the District
assuming the maintenance responsibilities and determining the acceptable level of maintenance to
meet the residents expectations as well as covering deferred maintenance of completed
improvements such as resealing the asphalt pavement and repairing damaged fixtures and furniture.
Reconcile 2023-24 Assessment distributions for commercial properties: After the 2023-24 Engineers Report
was approved and filed, a discrepancy was found in the levying of assessments to the commercial
properties Lots 2, 3, and 4 (Assessment Nos. 2, 3, and 4, APNs 016-070-14, -16, and -17). While the
total commercial assessment is correct, the allocation between the three commercial properties was
off due to a misallocation of commercial space area between the three lots. The chart below
explains the discrepancy:
Parcel no 2023-2024 Area Correct Area
Lot 2 11,478.47 6,344.29
Lot 3 9,059.36 13,377.44
Lot 4 1,712.17 2,528.27
The discrepancy resulted in an overpayment by Lot 2 and under payment by Lots 3 and 4. The
charged assessments and corrected assessments are shown in the following chart:
Parcel no 2023-2024 Assessment Corrected Assessment delta
Lot 2 $26,236.68 $20,281.00 ($6,109.68)
Lot 3 $10,780.64 $15,919.16 $5,138.52
Lot 4 $ 2,037.50 $ 3,008.64 $ 971.14
To correct the over and under payments, the Assessments for Lots 2, 3, and 4 will be adjusted for
the 2024-2025 year as follows:
2024-2025 Assessment
Parcel no 2024-2025 Assessment Adjustment To be paid
Lot 2 $21,168.62 ($6,109.68) $15,058.94
Lot 3 $16,588.04 $5,138.52 $21,726.56
Lot 4 $3,135.06 $ 971.14 $4,106.20
These adjustments will bring all assessments for the commercial areas to parity over the past two
years.

III. CATEGORIES OF SPECIAL TAX AND DESIGNATION OF MAXIMUM SPECIAL

A. RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY: The Residential Category includes each Parcel of
developed Taxable Property within CFD No. 2 that is zoned or permitted to be used for
residential purposes. This consists of Parcels 2 through 76, inclusive, as well as the second
floor residential use permitted on Parcel 78, all as shown on the Tentative Map. The
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied annually on Taxable Property within the
Residential Category during the Base Year is $2,439.22 per Dwelling Unit.
B. MARINA CATEGORY: The Marina includes that Parcel of Taxable Property
within CFD No. 2 that is designated as Parcels 80 and 82 on the Tentative Map. The
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied annually on Taxable Property within the Marina
Category during the Base Year is $74,216.22. In the event that Parcel 80 is subdivided, the
Maximum Special Tax shall be allocated to the subdivided Parcels in proportion to the
number of marina slips contained in each subdivided Parcel within the Marina Category. In
the event that Parcel 82 is subdivided from the other property within the Marina Category, it
shall be taxed on the same rate and basis (per square foot) as property within the Non-
Residential Category and the Maximum Special Tax for the remainder of the Marina
Category shall be the amount calculated above, less the tax for Parcel 82.
C. NON-RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY: The Non-Residential Category includes
each Parcel of developed Taxable Property within CFD No. 2 which has been zoned or is
permitted to be used for non-residential uses (including office, retail, industrial, and other
commercial uses) but not property within the Marina Category. These Parcels consist of
Parcels 79, and 81 shown on the Tentative Map, as well as portions of Lot 78 devoted to
Non-Residential Uses. The Maximum Special Tax that may be levied annually on Taxable
Property inti nth Non-Residential Category during the Base Year is $1.15 per square foot of
Building Floor Area.
D. MIXED USE CATEGORY: Parcels within CFD No. 2 which are zoned or
permitted to be used for uses which fall in more than one of the above Categories shall be
taxed for each category of use. The calculation of the Maximum Special Tax shall be
performed separately for each Area of Use. For example, the Special Tax Liability for a
Parcel featuring two Dwelling Units and 10,000 square feet of Non-Residential Use shall be
the sum of the Special Tax for the two Dwelling Units at the rate applied to all Dwelling
Units in the CFD and for the Non-Residential tax rate per square foot times 10,000. The
Maximum Special Tax for Parcels in the Mixed Use Category shall be calculated accordingly.

DISTRICT NO. 2/2. Loch Lomond CFD #2 Annual Engineer's Report 2024-25.docx
E. ADJUSTMENTS TO MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX: The Maximum Special Tax
for all Categories shall increase each Fiscal Year as determined annually by the City Council
by the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area, All Urban
Consumers/All Items, as published by the U.S> Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, or, in the event such index ceases to be published, by a comparable index
designated by the City Council.
IV. SETTING THE ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX LIABILITY FOR TAXABLE PROPERTIES
On or about July 1 of each year, but in an event in sufficient time to include the levy of the
special taxes on the County’s secured tax roll, the City shall determine the Category or Categories
representing each Parcel of land within CFD No. 2. Parcels subject to levy and their respective Tax
Category shall be determined based upon the records of the County Assessor as of the March 1
preceding such July.
For each Fiscal Year, the City shall determine the Special Tax Liability for each Parcel for the
Fiscal Year. The City shall make available for review by the general public information regarding the
Category to which each Parcel is assigned and the information used to calculate the Special Tax
Liability for each Parcel.
Attachment 1 shows the Base Year Maximum Special Tax rates. Each Fiscal Year following
the Base Year, the Maximum Special Tax rate shall be increased in accordance with the Special Tax
Escalation Factor.
To determine the Maximum Special Tax in each Fiscal Year, multiply the number of
Dwelling Units for each residential Parcel times the applicable Maximum Special Tax rates shown in
Attachment 1 as adjusted by the Special Tax Escalation Factor. For the Mixed Use Category, take
the sum of those two products.
The City shall calculate the Special Tax Liability for each Taxable Property for each fiscal
year as follows:
A. STEP ONE: Determine if the Improvements have been inspect and accepted by the
City. If not, the Special Tax Liability shall be zero for that fiscal year.
B. STEP TWO: As noted above the District is allowed to increase assessments based
on the CPI for the San Francisco-Oakland Hayward region. The CPI as of February,
2024 is 345.151. The base year index (2010) is 227.27. This allows a 52% increase
since the District’s formation. The maximum assessments would be as follows:
Residential $3,697.45 per residential unit
Non-Residential $1.74 per square foot of non-residential floor area
Marina $112,499.52 Lump Sum

C. Since the District (and the City) have not accepted all the improvements for the CFD
to maintain, not all of this funding is required at this time. Nevertheless, the Engineer
recommends an increase in funding in anticipation of accepting the improvements
and recognizing that due to the age of the improvements and the use to which they
have been subject since opening to the public. A 5% increase is recommended,
yielding the following assessments for 2024-2025:
Residential $2.660.34 per residential unit
Non-Residential $1.24 per square foot of non-residential area
Marina $80,943.46 Lump Sum
Setting the amount in 2024-2025 does not preclude future increases in future years to
the maximum allowable assessment based on the CPI.
D. STEP THREE: Calculate the Special Tax Liability for each Parcel of Taxable
Property by the following steps:
Step 1: Compute the potential Maximum Special Tax revenue for all Parcels in the
CFD by summing the Maximum Special Tax assigned to each Parcel for that Fiscal
Year.
Step 2: Compare the Service Annual Costs with the potential maximum Special Tax
revenue calculated in the previous step.
Step 3: If the Service Annual Costs are less than the Maximum Special Tax revenue
from Step 1, decrease proportionately the Maximum Special Tax amount for each
Parcel until the total Special Tax revenue equals the Service Annual Cost. These
amounts will be that year’s Special Tax Liability for each Parcel.
Step 4: If the Service Annual Costs are great than or equal to the potential Maximum,
Special Tax revenue calculated in Step 1, the amount of the Special Tax Liability for
each Taxable Property shall be the Maximum Special Tax assigned to each Parcel in II
above.
E. STEP FOUR: After the Special Tax Liability for each Parcel has been calculated,
consult Section V of this Rate and Method in order to prepare the Tax Collection
Schedule.
V. PREPARATION OF TAX COLLECTION SCHEDULE
Prepare the Tax Collection Schedule listing the Special Tax Liability for each Parcel of
Taxable Property and send it to the County Auditor, requesting that it be placed on the general,
secured property tax roll for the Fiscal Year. The Tax Collection Schedule shall not be sent later
than the date required by the Auditor for such inclusion.
The City shall make every effort to correctly calculate the Special Tax Liability for each
Parcel. It shall be the burden of the taxpayer to correct any errors in the determination of the
Parcels subject to the tax and the Special Tax Liability assigned to them. The City will maintain a file
