Council approves public‑safety Community Facilities District for Countryside Estates
Summary
The council held a public hearing and approved formation and levy of special taxes for Community Facilities District (CFD) PS2024‑8 (Countryside Estates), covering 31 future lots; ballots cast by the property owner were in favor and the council adopted the related resolutions and ordinance.
The Jurupa Valley City Council on Thursday approved creation of Community Facilities District (CFD) PS2024‑8 (Public Safety Countryside Estates), a special tax district intended to fund public safety services for a proposed 31‑lot subdivision north of Avenue Quan Bastia and between Maverick Lane and Riverview Drive.
Staff explained the process: the CFD would assess future homeowners (only the new lots) to generate dedicated revenue for police and/or fire services; money collected cannot be used for other purposes. The proposed special tax was roughly $343 per household and would generate about $9,000 annually when the subdivision is complete, staff said.
Nut graf: Council conducted the noticed public hearing, accepted a mailed ballot from the property owner (the developer) and adopted the resolution approving the levy and the enabling ordinance. The city clerk reported one owner ballot was cast and all votes were in favor.
Vote and immediate outcome: Council adopted the resolutions needed to call a special election and, after the clerk tabulated the ballots, approved the levy. The clerk announced: "The results are as follows. 1 owner cast 1 ballot. All votes cast were in favor of the special taxes." Council then adopted the implementing ordinances and resolutions.
Ending: Staff said tax proceeds will be restricted to public safety uses; the new CFD will not affect existing homeowners and will only apply to the future lots when sold and occupied. Staff will follow the usual steps for levy and collection once the subdivision is built.
