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 Property, 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.

Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for
Approved Property;
