tIi:DIO:brf 05/30/00 LOCAL GOALS AND POLICIES FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS I. INTRODUCTION. Section 53312.7(a) of the California Government Code requires that prior to the initiation of proceedings pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the "Act ") the City of San Leandro (the "City") consider and adopt local goals and policies concerning the use of the Act prior to the initiation of proceedings on or after January 1, 1994 to establish a new community facilities district ( "CFD ") under the Act. The following goals and policies are intended to meet the minimum requirements of the Act, and may be amended or supplemented by resolution of the City Council at any time. II. GOALS. A. New Development. Except as otherwise provided, only those public improvements that benefit not only the particular development, but also the City at large will be considered for financing. Such improvements include trunk water, sanitary and storm sewer and related facilities, freeway interchanges, bridges, major collector or "spine" streets, including related landscaping and lighting. Unless an exception is specifically approved by the Council based on the other provisions of those Policies, in -tract utilities, streets, landscaping and lighting serving individual properties will not be financed in new development. Finally, the acquisition of rights -of -way, lands and easements for public improvements for new development will not be financed without specific authorization by the Council. B. Existing Development. The restrictions of II A above shall not apply if the Council shall determine that the public necessity requires the improvements. Such improvements include the installation, construction, replacement or renovation of domestic water, sanitary sewer and storm drainage systems, pedestrian walkways, paths and/or overcrossings and the improvement of streets to correct unsafe conditions. Priority will be given for improvements required for public health and safety, such as sanitary sewer, safe drinking water and storm drainage facilities. C. Combined. Projects containing both new and existing development will separately apply the above to each type, with priority given to projects affecting existing development. D. School Facilities. School facilities will not be financed except under appropriate joint community facilities agreements with, or joint exercise of powers agreements created between the City and, school districts. The City shall make the determination as to whether a proposed district shall proceed under the provisions of the California assessment laws or the Act. The City may confer with consultants and the applicant to learn of any unique CFD requirements such as facilities serving the regional area prior to making any final determination. All City and consultant costs incurred in the evaluation of new CFD application and the established of CFDs will be paid by the applicant(s) by advance deposit increments. The City shall not incur any non - reimbursable expense for processing CFDs. Expenses not chargeable to the CFD shall be borne by the applicant.
