parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new Parcels created by the parcel
map, and (iii) one or more of the newly -created Parcels is in a different Development Class than
other Parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator shall calculate the Special Taxes for
the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by determining the Special Taxes that apply
separately to the property within each Development Class, then applying the sum of the individual
Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by recordation of the parcel map.

D. CHANGES TO THE MAXIMUM FACILITIES SPECIAL TAX
Pursuant to this Section D, the Administrator may from time to time update Attachment 2 to reflect
revised Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues. Such update shall be maintained
internally by the Administrator and shall not require recordation of an amended RMA.
Dublin Centre CFD No. 2024-1 9 November 19, 2024
Docusign Envelope ID: 65641EF4-8A37-4E9A-9F74-856A54D024CB
1. Land Use Changes
The Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues shown in Attachment 2 were originally
calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. Attachment 2 is subject to
modification upon the occurrence of Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator
shall review all Land Use Changes and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues.
Prior to the First Bond Sale, if a Land Use Change is proposed or identified that will result in a
change in the Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed
pursuant to this Section D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update
Attachment 2 to show the revised Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues.
After the First Bond Sale, if a Land Use Change is proposed or identified, Steps 1 through 3
below must be applied:
Step 1:
Step 2:
By reference to Attachment 2 (which shall be updated by the Administrator each
time a Land Use Change has been processed according to this Section D or a partial
prepayment has been made), the Administrator shall identify the Expected
Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues prior to the Land Use Change.
The Administrator shall calculate the Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax
Revenues that could be collected from Taxable Property in the CFD after the Land
Use Change based on application of the Base Facilities Special Taxes from Table
1.
Step 3: If the revenues calculated in Step 2 are (i) higher than those determined in Step
1 or (ii) less than those calculated in Step 1, but the reduction in Expected
Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues does not reduce debt service coverage
on outstanding Bonds below Required Coverage, no further action is needed, and
the Administrator shall update Attachment 2 to show the revised Expected
Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues.
If the revenues calculated in Step 2 are less than those calculated in Step 1, and the
Administrator determines that the reduction in Expected Maximum Facilities
Special Tax Revenues would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds
below the Required Coverage, one of the following shall occur:
3.a. The landowner requesting the Land Use Change (the "Requesting
Landowner") may make a prepayment in an amount that will ensure that the
reduced Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues are sufficient to
provide Required Coverage, as determined pursuant to Section H below. If the
Requesting Landowner notifies the Administrator that he/she would like to
remedy the reduction by making a prepayment, such prepayment must be made
by the earlier of (i) 30 days from the date of delivery of the prepayment estimate
or (ii) the date of issuance of any Building Permits for any Parcel owned by the
Requesting Landowner that was Final Map Property or Undeveloped Property
at the time the Administrator prepared the prepayment estimate, or
Dublin Centre CFD No. 2024-1 10 November 19, 2024
Docusign Envelope ID: 65641EF4-8A37-4E9A-9F74-856A54D024CB
3.b. If a prepayment is not received by the due date specified above, the Base
Facilities Special Tax used to determine the Maximum Facilities Special Tax
for each Parcel of Taxable Property in the area affected by the Land Use Change
shall be increased proportionately until the Expected Maximum Facilities
Special Tax Revenues are sufficient to maintain Required Coverage.
If multiple Land Use Changes are proposed simultaneously by a single landowner (which may
include approval of multiple Final Maps at one time), and the landowner requests that the impact
of two or more of the Land Use Changes be considered together, the Administrator shall consider
the combined effect of the Land Use Changes to determine if there is a reduction in Expected
Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues. If there is a reduction that would reduce debt service
coverage below the Required Coverage, and no prepayment has been received, then the Base
Facilities Special Tax used to determine the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each Parcel of
Taxable Property in the areas affected by the Land Use Changes shall be increased proportionately
until the aggregate amount that can be levied within such areas is equal to the amount that could
have been levied prior to the proposed Land Use Changes. If Land Use Changes are proposed
simultaneously by multiple landowners, or if an individual landowner proposing multiple Land
Use Changes does not request that such Land Use Changes be considered together, the
Administrator shall consider the proposed Land Use Changes individually.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, once a certificate of occupancy has been issued for a Residential
Unit on a Parcel, the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for the Parcel cannot be increased because
of subsequent Land Use Changes that may occur within the area in which the Parcel is located.
The duties imposed on the Administrator pursuant to this Section D to review Land Use Changes,
and to review Final Maps and make certain calculations, are intended only to facilitate the
administration of the Facilities Special Tax and to better assure the sufficiency of tax capacity to
pay debt service on Bonds. Such duties are not intended to give any developer, subdivider, or
owner of property the right to receive notice of the potential impact of Land Use Changes on the
Facilities Special Tax applicable to a Parcel; and each developer, subdivider, or owner of property
whose property is the subject of a Land Use Change shall be responsible for understanding the
impact thereof on the Facilities Special Tax applicable to such property.
2. Partial Prepayments
If a Parcel makes a partial prepayment pursuant to Section H below, the Administrator shall
recalculate the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for the Parcel pursuant to Section H.2. In addition,
the Administrator shall update Attachment 2 to reflect the prepayment and the revised Expected
Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues for the CFD. After the prepayment has been received,
the application of Sections D, E, and H of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected
Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues after the prepayment.
3. Conversion of a Parcel to a Taxable Land Use
If, in any Fiscal Year, an Affordable Housing Unit, the Exempt Affordable Units Parcel, or a Parcel
of Public Property, Welfare Exemption Property, or Owners Association Property that had been
exempt from the Special Taxes is converted to Single Family Property or Other Property, such
Parcel shall be subject to the levy of Special Taxes. The Maximum Special Taxes for each such
Dublin Centre CFD No. 2024-1 11 November 19, 2024
Docusign Envelope ID: 65641EF4-8A37-4E9A-9F74-856A54D024CB
Parcel shall be determined based on the applicable Land Use Category for the Parcel, as determined
by the Administrator. In addition, the Administrator shall update Attachment 2 to reflect the
revised Expected Land Uses and Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues for the
CFD.
4. Increase in Affordable Housing Units
If, prior to the First Bond Sale, the Administrator determines that there is an increase in the number
of Affordable Housing Units expected within any Tax Zone, the Administrator shall update the
Expected Land Uses and Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues in Attachment 2,
and the additional Affordable Housing Units will be exempt from the Special Taxes.
If, at any time after the First Bond Sale, additional Affordable Housing Units are proposed, and if
the addition of the new Affordable Housing Units will decrease the Expected Maximum Facilities
Special Tax Revenues to a point at which Required Coverage cannot be maintained, the
Administrator shall calculate the Maximum Facilities Special Tax that must be assigned to each of
the new Affordable Housing Units to maintain Required Coverage. The Maximum Facilities
Special Tax assigned to the new Affordable Housing Units shall be escalated each Fiscal Year by
an amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
5. Transfer of Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues Among Tax Zones
The Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues were determined for each Tax Zone
based on the Expected Land Uses within that Tax Zone. If the expected number of Residential
Units or the expected acres of Other Property is transferred from one Tax Zone to another, the City
may, in its sole discretion, allow for a corresponding transfer of Expected Maximum Facilities
Special Tax Revenues between the Tax Zones. Such a transfer shall only be allowed if (i) all
adjustments are agreed to in writing by the affected property owners and the City, and (ii) there is
no reduction in the total Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues as a result of the
transfer. After such a transfer, the Administrator shall update Attachment 2 to reflect the revised
Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues for each Tax Zone.
6. Reduction in Maximum Facilities Special Tax
The Base Facilities Special Tax for one or more Tax Zones shall be reduced prior to the First Bond
Sale if the City reasonably determines based on a Price Point Study that, without a reduction in the
Base Facilities Special Tax for Residential Units within those Tax Zone(s), the Total Tax Burden
will exceed 1.75% of the Average Sales Price. Such determination shall be made by the City
hiring, at the CFD's expense, a Price Point Consultant to prepare a Price Point Study to confirm
the Average Sales Price for Residential Units within each Tax Zone. If, based on the Price Point
Study, the Administrator calculates that the Total Tax Burden for Residential Units within one or
more Tax Zones will exceed 1.75% of the Average Sales Price, the Administrator and the City
shall meet with the Master Developer to discuss the findings, after which point the Administrator
shall reduce the Base Facilities Special Tax to the point at which the Total Tax Burden on
Residential Units in each Tax Zone in the CFD is equal to 1.75% of the Average Sales Price for
such Residential Units. Any such reduction shall occur at least 60 days prior to the First Bond
Sale.
Dublin Centre CFD No. 2024-1 12 November 19, 2024
Docusign Envelope ID: 65641EF4-8A37-4E9A-9F74-856A54D024CB
The Base Facilities Special Taxes set forth in Table 1 may also be (i) disproportionately reduced
prior to the First Bond Sale, but not to a level that exceeds the 1.75% described in the previous
paragraph, so long as the Master Developer is the owner of all Parcels in the CFD and requests a
reduction in the Base Facilities Special Taxes, or (ii) proportionately or disproportionately reduced
prior to the First Bond Sale, but not to a level that exceeds the 1.75% described in the previous
paragraph, if the owner of any Parcel in the CFD requests a reduction in the Base Facilities Special
Taxes and the owners of all Parcels in the CFD consent to such reduction by unanimous vote. Any
such reduction shall occur at least 60 days prior to the First Bond Sale.
The Base Facilities Special Tax reductions permitted pursuant to this paragraph shall be reflected
in an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien, which the Administrator shall cause to be recorded.
If, based on the Price Point Study, the Administrator determines that the Total Tax Burden will
not exceed 1.75% of the Average Sales Price, then there shall be no change in the Base Facilities
Special Tax for Residential Units unless so requested by the Master Developer.
E. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAXES
1. Facilities Special Tax
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Facilities Special Tax Requirement to be
collected in that Fiscal Year. A Facilities Special Tax shall then be levied according to the
following steps:
Step 1: The Facilities Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property up to 100% of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Facilities
Special Tax Requirement prior to applying any Capitalized Interest that is
available in the CFD accounts.
Step 2: If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 in order to meet the Facilities Special
Tax Requirement after Capitalized Interest has been applied to reduce the Facilities
Special Tax Requirement, the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately
on each Parcel of Final Map Property up to 100% of the Maximum Facilities
Special Tax for each Parcel of Final Map Property until the amount levied is equal
to the Facilities Special Tax Requirement.
Step 3: If additional revenue is needed after Step 2, the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the
Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each Parcel of Undeveloped Property until the
amount levied is equal to the Facilities Special Tax Requirement.
Step 4: If additional revenue is needed after Step 3, the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Parcel of Taxable Welfare Exemption Property, up to
100% of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Welfare
Exemption Property for such Fiscal Year until the amount levied is equal to the
Facilities Special Tax Requirement.
Dublin Centre CFD No. 2024-1 13 November 19, 2024
Docusign Envelope ID: 65641EF4-8A37-4E9A-9F74-856A54D024CB
Step 5: If additional revenue is needed after Step 4, the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Parcel of Taxable Owners Association Property, up to
100% of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Owners
Association Property until the amount levied is equal to the Facilities Special Tax
Requirement.
Step 6: If additional revenue is needed after Step 5, the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Parcel of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the
Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Public Property until
the amount levied is equal to the Facilities Special Tax Requirement.
2. Services Special Tax
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Services Special Tax Requirement and the
Services Special Tax shall be levied according to the steps outlined below.
Step 1: The Services Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property up to 100% of the Maximum Services Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property for such Fiscal Year until the amount levied is
equal to the Services Special Tax Requirement.
Step 2: If additional revenue is needed after Step 1, the Services Special Tax shall be
levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Final Map Property up to 100% of the
Maximum Services Special Tax for each Parcel of Final Map Property for such
Fiscal Year until the amount levied is equal to the Services Special Tax
Requirement.
Step 3: If additional revenue is needed after Step 2, the Services Special Tax shall be
levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of
the Maximum Services Special Tax for Undeveloped Property for such Fiscal
Year until the amount levied is equal to the Services Special Tax Requirement.
F. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Taxes shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in Section
H below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Taxes, may collect Special
Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special Taxes
through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Facilities Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on Bonds have
been repaid. However, in no event shall Facilities Special Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2064-
65. Under no circumstances may the Facilities Special Tax on a Parcel of Developed Property in
residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or default in
payment of the Facilities Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten percent
(10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any
such delinquencies or defaults.
The Services Special Tax may be levied and collected in perpetuity.
Dublin Centre CFD No. 2024-1 14 November 19, 2024
Docusign Envelope ID: 65641EF4-8A37-4E9A-9F74-856A54D024CB
G. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Taxes shall be levied in any Fiscal
Year on the following:
i. Public Property, except Taxable Public Property.
ii. Owners Association Property, except Taxable Owners Association Property.
iii. Welfare Exemption Property, except Taxable Welfare Exemption Property.
iv. Affordable Housing Units, except as otherwise provided in Section D.4
v. The Exempt Affordable Units Parcel, except as otherwise provided in Section D.3
vi. Parcels that are owned by a public utility for an unmanned facility.
vii. Parcels that are subject to an easement that precludes any other use on the Parcel.
viii. For purposes of levying the Facilities Special Tax, Parcels that have fully prepaid
the Facilities Special Tax obligation assigned to the Parcel pursuant to the formula
set forth in Section H below. Such Parcels shall still be subject to the levy of the
Services Special Tax.
H. PREPAYMENTS
The following definitions apply to this Section H:
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding, with
the following exception: if a Facilities Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid
by, an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Facilities Special Tax
will be used to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain
outstanding (as determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be
subtracted from the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall
be used as the amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of
prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $37.3 million in 2024 dollars, which shall
increase on January 1, 2025, and on each January 1 thereafter by two percent (2%) of the
amount in effect in the prior year, or such other number as shall be determined by the City
as sufficient to fund improvements that are authorized to be funded by the CFD. The Public
Facilities Requirements shown above may be adjusted each time property annexes into the
CFD or there is an adjustment to the Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax Revenues
due to a Land Use Change or prepayment.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public
facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds, developer equity, and any other source
of funding.
Dublin Centre CFD No. 2024-1 15 November 19, 2024
Docusign Envelope ID: 65641EF4-8A37-4E9A-9F74-856A54D024CB
1. Full Prepayment
The Facilities Special Tax obligation applicable to a Parcel in the CFD may be prepaid and the
obligation of the Parcel to pay the Facilities Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein,
provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect
to such Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of a Parcel intending to prepay the Facilities
Special Tax obligation shall provide the City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30
days of receipt of such written notice, the City or its designee shall notify such owner of the
prepayment amount for such Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to any
redemption date for Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Facilities Special
Taxes. The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by application
of the following steps:
Step 1.
Compute the amount that could be collected from the Parcel prepaying the
Facilities Special Tax in the Fiscal Year in which prepayment would be
received by the City by applying the Base Facilities Special Tax to the
Expected Land Uses for the Parcel. If this Section H is being applied to
calculate a prepayment pursuant to Section D above, compute the amount
by which the proposed Land Use Change would reduce Expected Maximum
Facilities Special Tax Revenues below the amount needed for Required
Coverage, and use this amount for purposes of this Step 1.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Facilities Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1
for such Parcel by the total Expected Maximum Facilities Special Tax
Revenues for all property in the CFD, as shown in Attachment 2 and as
adjusted by the Administrator after prepayments or Land Use Changes.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount
determined pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining
Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Dublin Centre CFD No. 2024-1 16 November 19, 2024
Docusign Envelope ID: 65641EF4-8A37-4E9A-9F74-856A54D024CB
Step 6.
Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by the
applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment will be received until the earliest redemption date for the
Outstanding Bonds. However, if Bonds are callable at the first interest
payment date after the prepayment has been received, Steps 7, 8, and 9 of
this prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8: Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9: Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount
computed pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10.
Step 11.
Step 12.
Step 13.
The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will
be determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds, and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and
Expenses").
If and to the extent so provided in the Bond Indenture, a reserve fund credit
shall be calculated as a reduction in the applicable reserve fund for the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the prepayment (the
"Reserve Fund Credit").
The Facilities Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed
pursuant to Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3,
6, and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under
the Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Improvement Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses.
Once a full prepayment of a Parcel's Facilities Special Tax obligation has been received, a Notice
of Cancellation of Facilities Special Tax Lien shall be recorded against the Parcel to reflect the
discharge of the Parcel's obligation to pay the Facilities Special Tax. However, a Notice of
Cancellation of Facilities Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded until all Facilities Special Taxes
levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been collected.
Dublin Centre CFD No. 2024-1 17 November 19, 2024
Docusign Envelope ID: 65641EF4-8A37-4E9A-9F74-856A54D024CB
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Facilities Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made
shall be equal to the portion of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax that was not prepaid. Once a
partial prepayment has been received, an Amended Notice of Facilities Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel to reflect the reduced Facilities Special Tax lien for the Parcel, and the
Administrator shall update Attachment 2 to show the revised Expected Maximum Facilities
Special Tax Revenues. However, an Amended Notice of Facilities Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Facilities Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years
have been collected.
3. Maintaining Required Coverage
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any point in time the Administrator determines that the
Maximum Facilities Special Tax revenue that could be collected from Taxable Property that
remains subject to the Facilities Special Tax after the proposed prepayment would be less than the
Required Coverage on Bonds that will remain outstanding after defeasance or redemption of Bonds
from proceeds of the estimated prepayment, the amount of the prepayment shall be increased until
the amount of Bonds defeased or redeemed is sufficient to reduce remaining annual debt service
to a point at which Required Coverage is maintained.
I. INTERPRETATION OF RMA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this document
that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In addition, the
interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the City's
discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for purposes
of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.
