OVERVIEW:

On April 26, 2006 (13), the Board directed the Clerk of the Board to set a public hearing for May 17, 2006 to consider the proposed road vacation.
This is a request to vacate an easement for a future public road, Topo Lane, in the community of Lakeside. The portion to be vacated is the southern terminus located south of Mary Lane. Topo Lane is a non-Circulation Element roadway. (Thomas Guide, page 1212, B7)
The portion of Topo Lane proposed for vacation is part of an easement that was dedicated to the County of San Diego and accepted for a future public road on March 9, 1948 as part of Subdivision Map No. 2462. The County does not maintain Topo Lane. It is considered excess right-of-way and is no longer needed for public use.

The proposed project is an amendment to a Williamson Contract for parcels under the Cleto and Edith Vedova Trust, within the Rancho Santa Ysabel Preserve Number 17.

SET HEARING FOR 7/19/06

INTENTION TO INITATE PROPOSITION 218 COMPLIANT BALLOT PROCEEDINGS TO ESTABLISH PROPOSED LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT ZONE NO. 1 – PARKS MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (DISTRICT: 2)

OVERVIEW:

The Advisory Board of County Service Area 26 – Rancho San Diego has petitioned the County to conduct mailed ballot proceedings to levy a benefit assessment for parks maintenance pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. Assessments would provide revenue to maintain existing and additional park and recreation facilities within the boundaries of County Service Area 26.
In order to maintain current levels of service to these parks and future park improvements within this proposed Parks Maintenance Assessment District as desired by the area residents, the Department of Parks and Recreation proposes the establishment of a benefit assessment on properties in the geographic areas of County Service Area 26.
During May through July 2005, property owners in and around the areas of County Service Area 26 – Rancho San Diego were asked to vote on the establishment of a Parks Maintenance Assessment District. On July 13, 2005 (9), the Board of Supervisors voted to terminate that ballot measure and restart the process to include only those properties within County Service Area 26 to be included in the proposed Parks Maintenance Assessment District Zone No. 1. This proposed Parks Maintenance Assessment District will only include parcels inside the County Service Area 26 boundaries.
On May 18, 2005 (3), the Board of Supervisors adopted Board Policy J-37 to define priorities and criteria for formation of Landscape Maintenance Districts and zones utilizing Landscape and Lighting Act proceedings (Streets and Highways Code, Section 22500 et. seq.) for needs other than street lighting. This proposal is in compliance with Board Policy J-37.
The requested action is to accept the Preliminary Engineer’s Report, adopt a resolution to initiate the formation of, and stating its intentions to establish a Parks Maintenance Assessment District, and approve a resolution adopting assessment ballot procedures. The resolution sets the date of July 19, 2006, as the date of the required public hearing. Approval of this request will initiate the ballot proceedings in order for property owners to vote on the benefit assessment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this proposal is budgeted in the Department of Parks and Recreation and will result in a $49,000 current year cost to fund the ballot proceedings process for formation of a Parks Maintenance Assessment District (PMAD). If the ballot measure is approved, it will result in an estimated additional $130,000 in annual revenue for maintenance of parks located within County Service Area 26 (CSA 26). This additional revenue will be combined with the current annual revenue of $230,500 that is funded by a fixed charge from CSA 26 residents. In addition, if approved, the County will be paying its share of the PMAD assessment fees on assessable properties owned within the proposed district. The County’s portion of the proposed fees is estimated at $600 annually and would be paid by the department managing each parcel. If approved, the PMAD assessment fees could increase a maximum of 3% annually, which is based on the Consumer Price Index – Urban (CPI-U).
The new parks maintenance assessment is being requested because the current CSA 26 revenue source does not generate sufficient funding to provide the level of park maintenance desired by the users of the parks in CSA 26. This proposal requires no additional staff years.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
1.  Find in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment and is therefore not subject to CEQA.
2.  Accept the Preliminary Engineer’s Report (Attachment A) entitled: County of San Diego Landscape Maintenance District Zone No. 1, on file at the County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation located at 5201 Ruffin Road, Suite P, San Diego, California 92123.
3.  Adopt a resolution (Attachment B) entitled: Resolution of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors Initiating Formation and Stating its Intention to Establish an Assessment District Pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 and Directing Actions with Respect Thereto.
This resolution sets July 19, 2006 as the date of the required public hearing.
4.  Adopt a resolution (Attachment C) entitled: Resolution of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors Adopting Assessment Ballot Procedures Pursuant to Article XIIID of the State Constitution and Implementing Legislation.
