Board confirms levy of increased service charge for New Green Apartments under Prop. 218 protest process
Summary
The Board adopted a resolution confirming a benefit‑category change and increased service charge for the New Green Apartments project in County Service Area 1, Zone 1 after a Proposition 218 protest process yielded no majority protest.
The Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution on Nov. 4 confirming the levy of increased service charges for the New Green Apartments project (County Service Area 1, Zone 1). County Engineering staff explained the parcel will move from the 'safety light only' category (annual assessment $2.56) to the 'enhanced street and safety light nonresidential' category, which staff estimated would increase the annual service charge to approximately $470.98.
Staff said the county followed Proposition 218 protest procedures. The clerk reported receipt of a single protest ballot from the legal owner (New Green Properties LLC), recorded in favor of the benefit category change; staff said there was no majority protest. The board adopted the resolution to confirm the levy and required findings and directed the clerk to file the tabulation.
Why it matters: Proposition 218 governs local property‑related charges in California and requires a protest procedure for proposed increases. The board's action enables the project's change in benefit category so the developer can satisfy conditions of approval prior to building permit issuance.
Speakers and sources: Dawn Pimentel (County Engineering) presented; clerk announced the protest ballot tabulation and staff read the resolution findings. The board motion carried as recorded by the clerk.
