The Resolution of Intention begins the process, sets the required public hearing for Thursday, December 3, 2026, at 9:10 am, and defines the steps required to complete the annexation. (Reference attached Vicinity Map.) BACKGROUND New commercial, industrial, and multi-family subdivisions and parcel maps have different needs and standards than those of a standard single-family residential subdivision. Commercial, industrial and multi-family subdivisions are traditionally self-maintained with different proprietary requirements for landscaping, signage, and general designs. CFD No. 9 is designed to accommodate these requirements by providing funding for services for certain required public improvements along the perimeters of these developments. On December 16, 2008, the Council of the City of Fresno adopted Council Resolution No. 2008-351, forming CFD No. 9 to provide funding for the Services for certain public improvements located within and adjacent to public streets on the perimeter of commercial, industrial, and multi-family subdivisions as described and permitted pursuant the Goals and Policies for CFD No. 9 and the City of Fresno Special Tax Financing Law, Chapter 8, Division 1, Article 3 of the Fresno Municipal Code (City Law) and the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Chapter 2.5, commencing with Section 53311, of Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the California Government Code). The landowner, Dakota Fresno LP, along with the individual(s) representing the interests of the landowner – Cullen J Davis, Jaymie Beckett, and Wayne Rutledge – has petitioned the City to have APN 435-020-11 annexed to CFD No. 9 to provide funding for the operation and reserves for maintenance (Services) pertaining to certain above ground public improvements located within City street easements. These improvements may include landscaping, trees, and irrigation systems; sidewalks and street lighting as associated with this development (Reference attached Vicinity Map). APN 435-020-11 is located entirely within City limits. The attached Resolution of Intention initiates the annexation process, sets the public hearing for Thursday, December 3, 2026, at 9:10 am, sets the Maximum Special Tax at a total of $1,516.00 to be apportioned proportionately for each assessor’s parcel within Annexation No. 81 annually for fiscal year 2026-2027, and sets the annual adjustment of the Special Tax to be adjusted upward annually by 2% or by the rise of the Construction Cost Index (CCI), if it exceeds 2% for the San Francisco Region. Annexations to existing community facilities districts are permitted under City Law. The legislative body must follow certain prescribed procedures as outlined below: Adoption of a Resolution of Intention to Annex to CFD No. 9 Required 7-day minimum Notice of Public Hearing Public hearing on Annexation and Levy of Special Tax Call a Special Mailed-Ballot Election on the proposed Special Tax Declare the Results of the Election Formal Adoption of Special Tax Levy (if election passes) The attached Resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 this action does not qualify as a “project” and is therefore exempt from CEQA requirements. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not considered since this item does not include a bid or award of a construction or services contract. FISCAL IMPACT No City funds will be involved. All costs will be borne by the landowner as set forth in Exhibit D of the Resolution of Intention attached herein.
