D. CALCULATION OF OVERALL SPECIAL TAX REQUIREMENT
PROPORTIONALITY
Each Fiscal Year, an Overall Special Tax Requirement for CFD No. 14M-2 and CFD No. 14M
IA 1 shall be calculated initially as the same amount as the CFD No. 14M IA 1 Special Tax
Requirement would have been calculated prior to the creation of CFD No. 14M-2.
Then, for purposes of the levy of Special Taxes within CFD No. 14M-2, the amount of the CFD
No. 14M-2 Special Tax Requirement shall be an amount equal to the Overall Special Tax
Requirement less the amount of the levy of special taxes in CFD No. 14M IA 1 on Developed
Property at 100% of the Maximum Special Tax (as such terms are defined in the CFD No. 14M
IA 1 RMA).
If the amount of Developed Property Maximum Special Taxes that can be collected in that Fiscal
Year within CFD No. 14M-2 exceeds the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax Requirement, then the
levy on Developed Property in both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD No. 14M-2 shall be reduced
Proportionately to the amount required to fund the Overall Special Tax Requirement.
If the amount of Developed Property Maximum Special Taxes that can be collected in that Fiscal
Year within CFD No. 14M-2 is less than the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax Requirement, then all
Approved Property in both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD No. 14M-2 shall be taxed
Proportionately, up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax, as necessary to satisfy the
Overall Special Tax Requirement, and the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax Requirement shall
include such amount to be levied on Approved Property in CFD No. 14M-2.
If the combined amount of Developed Property and Approved Property Special Taxes that can be
collected in that Fiscal Year within both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD No. 14M-2 is less than the
Overall Special Tax Requirement, then all Undeveloped Property in both CFD No. 14M IA 1
and CFD No. 14M-2 shall be taxed Proportionately, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax, as
necessary to satisfy the Overall Special Tax Requirement, and the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax
Requirement shall include such amount to be levied on Undeveloped Property in CFD No.
14M-2.
If the combined amount of Developed Property, Approved Propert y, and Undeveloped Property
Special Taxes that can be collected in that Fiscal Year within both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD
No. 14M-2 is less than the Overall Special Tax Requirement, then all Taxable Property Owner
Association Property and Taxable CPF Property in both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD No. 14M-
2 shall be taxed Proportionately, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax, as necessary to
satisfy the Overall Special Tax Requirement, and the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax Requirement
shall include such amount to be levied on all Taxable Property Owner Association Property and
Taxable CPF Property in CFD No. 14M-2.
E. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX FOR CFD No. 14M-2
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2019-2020, and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall
levy the Special Tax in CFD No. 14M-2 at the rates established pursuant to steps 1 through 4
below so that the amount of the Special Tax levied equals the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax
Requirement as determined in Section D above. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal

The CFD Administrator shall classify as Tax-Exempt Property within CFD No. 14M-2 those

and CPF Property that cannot be classified as Tax-Exempt Property will be classified as Taxable
Property Owner Association Property or Taxable CPF Property and shall be taxed as part of the

The CFD Administrator will assign tax-exempt status in the chronological order in which
property becomes exempt Public Property or CPF Property or Tax -Exempt Property Owner
Association Property. However, should an Assessor’s Parcel no longer be classified as Public
Property or CPF Property or Tax-Exempt Property Owner Association Property, its tax-exempt
status will be revoked.
