�.:': ' Category I by multiplying the Building Square Footage for Parcels classifed as
Residential Parcels by the Maximum Special Tax per Building Square Foot for
Resource Monitoring, and Preserve Operations and Maintenance for Parcels and
adding to that the maximum revenue which could be generated by multiplying the
total acres for Parcels classified as Non-Residential Parceis by the Maximum Special
Tax per Acre for Resource Monitoring and Preserve Operations and Maintenances.
Step 2: If the totai revenue as calculated in Step 1 is greater than the estimated
Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C, reduce the Special Tax for each Parcel
proportionately so that the Special Tax levy for Fiscal Year is equal to the Special
Tax Liability for the Fiscal Year.
Step 3: If the total revenue as caiculated in StAp 1 is less than the Special Tax
Liability for Improvement Area C, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each Parcel
within Improvement Area C, classified as Category II. The Special Tax for Parcels
assigned to the Category ll shail be calculated as the lessor of:
(i) The Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C as determined by the City,
less the total revenue generated for all Parcels under Step 1 above, divided
by the total Acres for all Parcels within Improvement Area C assigned to
Category II,
OR
(ii) The Maximum Special Tax rate for Parcels assigned to Category II.
