Temecula Valley board approves formation of CFD and schedules landowner vote to fund facilities

The Temecula Valley Unified School District board voted this month to create Community Facilities District No. 2026‑1 and move forward with a landowner election to levy a special tax and permit up to $7 million in bond or other indebtedness to finance public facilities. The board held the required public hearings, confirmed that legal notices were filed, and opened two landowner ballots that were reported as voting in favor.

Board members framed the CFD as a tool to finance school and valley‑wide recreation and park facilities needed for growth in the district. Staff told the board that notices and filings had been completed and that the two property owners whose parcels would be included had submitted ballots expressing support.

On a series of procedural resolutions — forming the CFD, declaring necessity to incur bonded indebtedness, and calling the special landowner election — the board recorded roll‑call votes and adopted the motions. The board then directed staff to record a notice of special tax lien and introduced an ordinance levying taxes in the CFD, which the board scheduled for a second reading and possible adoption at its April meeting.

The actions advance the district’s ability to borrow against the special tax levy if the landowner election is approved. District staff said the next steps include finalizing election materials, recording required notices, and returning to the board for the second reading of the ordinance on April 16. The board’s resolutions and roll calls were recorded in the public minutes.
