Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
1. The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of
Developed Property within the CFD up to one hundred percent (100%) of the
applicable Maximum Special Tax.
2. If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after Developed
Property has been levied one hundred percent (100%) of their Maximum Special Tax,
the remaining amount needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement shall be levied
Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to one
hundred percent (100%) of the Maximum Special Tax on Undeveloped Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against anv
Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property be increased because of delinquency or default by
the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within the CFD by more than ten percent (10%)
above what such Special Tax would have been in the absence of delinquencies.
