Council approves resolutions to annex 17 apartments into CFD and calls special election
Summary
After a public hearing and vote, the council adopted resolutions to annex a 17-unit development at 123 East Central into CFD 2007-1, calling a special election and recording unanimous canvass ballots (1–0); the annexation is projected to add about $687 per unit per year in CFD tax revenue.
Deputy City Manager Lee presented a public hearing item to annex 17 new multifamily units at 123 East Central Street into Community Facilities District (CFD) 2007-1, explaining that the annexation would assess an annual special tax of about $687 per unit (roughly $11,691 per year total) to help fund fire, police and maintenance services. The presentation explained the special tax applies once building permits are issued and noted the owner submitted a property-owner ballot for a special election.
Multiple residents raised concerns during public comment about downtown parking pressure, tandem parking in the development’s design, and potential conflicts of interest by council members with financial ties to the property owner. Councilmember Linares announced a recusal on a related item and the city attorney clarified the Planning Commission will hold the initial project hearing. The city clerk reported no written protests were received; the clerk canvassed the ballots (reported as 1 in favor, 0 opposed), and the council moved to adopt resolutions authorizing the annexation, calling a special election and making required findings.
The council passed the resolutions by roll call; the city clerk completed the canvas of ballots and certified the propositions as approved. The annexation will be implemented per the adopted resolutions and any subsequent special election actions.
