Council forms Redwood Crossings community facilities district, certifies landowner vote
Loading...
Summary
The council adopted resolutions forming the Redwood Crossings Community Facilities District (CFD 2026‑01), certified a unanimous landowner ballot and introduced an ordinance allowing a special tax to fund maintenance and public‑safety services for the Redwood Crossings residential project.
The Rohnert Park City Council on April 28 established the Redwood Crossings Community Facilities District (CFD number 2026‑01) and certified the results of the district's special tax election, following staff presentations by Public Works Director Mark Henderson and Deputy City Engineer Justin Brandt.
Brandt explained the CFD aligns with a development agreement approved in 2018 and will collect a special tax from the developer at building‑permit issuance and annually thereafter. Staff said the CFD will fund landscape maintenance, parks, storm infrastructure maintenance and certain operations for public works and public safety; the first fiscal‑year payment was stated in the presentation as $1,066 per unit for FY 2026–27, subject to CPI adjustments.
The council opened a public hearing (no public speakers on this item), adopted resolution 2026‑028 establishing the CFD by a recorded vote, and the clerk reported there was one qualified voter in the district whose assessment ballot was cast unanimously in favor of both propositions. Council then adopted the certification resolution and introduced and waived first reading of ordinance 993 to authorize levy of the special tax; the record shows the ordinance introduction passed 4–0–1 (Council member Rodriguez absent).
Staff noted the CFD process is a structured legal sequence that includes tabulating the landowner ballot and certifying the election results prior to levy; the ordinance will return later for second reading and final adoption as required by law.
