. The management district plan shall include, but is not
limited to, all of the following:
(a) If the assessment will be levied on property, a map of the
district in sufficient detail to locate each parcel of property and,
if businesses are to be assessed, each business within the district.
If the assessment will be levied on businesses, a map that identifies
the district boundaries in sufficient detail to allow a business
owner to reasonably determine whether a business is located within
the district boundaries. If the assessment will be levied on property
and businesses, a map of the district in sufficient detail to locate
each parcel of property and to allow a business owner to reasonably
determine whether a business is located within the district
boundaries.
(b) The name of the proposed district.
(c) A description of the boundaries of the district, including the
boundaries of benefit zones, proposed for establishment or extension
in a manner sufficient to identify the affected property and
businesses included, which may be made by reference to any plan or
map that is on file with the clerk. The boundaries of a proposed
property assessment district shall not overlap with the boundaries of
another existing property assessment district created pursuant to
this part. This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a district
created pursuant to this part to overlap with other assessment
districts established pursuant to other provisions of law, including,
but not limited to, the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of
1989 (Part 6 (commencing with Section 36500)). This part does not
prohibit the boundaries of a business assessment district created
pursuant to this part to overlap with another business assessment
district created pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit
the boundaries of a business assessment district created pursuant to
this part to overlap with a property assessment district created
pursuant to this part.
(d) The improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for
each year of operation of the district and the maximum cost thereof.
If the improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each
year of operation are the same, a description of the first year's
proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities and a statement
that the same improvements, maintenance, and activities are proposed
for subsequent years shall satisfy the requirements of this
subdivision.
(e) The total annual amount proposed to be expended for
improvements, maintenance, or activities, and debt service in each
year of operation of the district. If the assessment is levied on
businesses, this amount may be estimated based upon the assessment
rate. If the total annual amount proposed to be expended in each year
of operation of the district is not significantly different, the
amount proposed to be expended in the initial year and a statement
that a similar amount applies to subsequent years shall satisfy the
requirements of this subdivision.
(f) The proposed source or sources of financing, including the
proposed method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient
detail to allow each property or business owner to calculate the
amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her property or
business. The plan also shall state whether bonds will be issued to
finance improvements.
(g) The time and manner of collecting the assessments.
(h) The specific number of years in which assessments will be
levied. In a new district, the maximum number of years shall be five.
Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years.
Notwithstanding these limitations, a district created pursuant to
this part to finance capital improvements with bonds may levy
assessments until the maximum maturity of the bonds. The management
district plan may set forth specific increases in assessments for
each year of operation of the district.
(i) The proposed time for implementation and completion of the
management district plan.
(j) Any proposed rules and regulations to be applicable to the
district.
(k) (1) A list of the properties or businesses to be assessed,
including the assessor's parcel numbers for properties to be
assessed, and a statement of the method or methods by which the
expenses of a district will be imposed upon benefited real property
or businesses, in proportion to the benefit received by the property
or business, to defray the cost thereof.
(2) In a property-based district, the proportionate special
benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined
exclusively in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a
public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a
public improvement, or the cost of the activities. An assessment
shall not be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost
of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only
special benefits are assessable, and a property-based district shall
separate the general benefits, if any, from the special benefits
conferred on a parcel. Parcels within a property-based district that
are owned or used by any city, public agency, the State of
California, or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment
unless the governmental entity can demonstrate by clear and
convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive
no special benefit. The value of any incidental, secondary, or
collateral effects that arise from the improvements, maintenance, or
activities of a property-based district and that benefit property or
persons not assessed shall not be deducted from the entirety of the
cost of any special benefit or affect the proportionate special
benefit derived by each identified parcel.
(l) In a property-based district, the total amount of all special
benefits to be conferred upon the properties located within the
property-based district.
(m) In a property-based district, the total amount of general
benefits, if any.
(n) In a property-based district, a detailed engineer's report
prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State
of California supporting all assessments contemplated by the
management district plan.
(o) Any other item or matter required to be incorporated therein
by the city council.
