A. Notwithstanding Cal. Gov't Code § 53326(a), the City Council shall submit the levy of any special taxes to the qualified electors of the proposed community facilities district or to the qualified electors of the territory to be annexed by the community facilities district in the next general election or in a special election to be held, notwithstanding any other requirement, including any requirement that elections be held on specified dates, contained in the Elections Code, at least forty-five (45) days, but not more than one-hundred eighty (180) days, following the adoption of the resolution of formation. This Subsection 15.12.035.A shall apply only if the election is to be by the landowners of the proposed community facilities district, as described in Cal. Gov't Code § 53326(b), and the proposed community facilities district is funding authorized services with no debt to be issued.
B. Notwithstanding Cal. Gov't Code § 53326(b), if the vote is to be by the landowners of the proposed community facilities district, as described in Cal. Gov't Code § 53326(b), the City Council may provide for an alternative to the method of voting of each landowner having one (1) vote for each acre or portion of an acre of land that a landowner owns within the proposed community facilities district. The alternative method of voting authorized by this Subsection 15.12.035.B, provides that each landowner shall have one (1) vote for each dollar or portion of a dollar of special tax that may be levied on such landowner's land to be included in the proposed community facilities district, based upon the proposed rate and method of apportionment and manner of collection of special tax for the proposed community facilities district, and the special taxes thereby to be levied in the first full fiscal year following formation of the proposed district. This Subsection 15.12.35.B shall apply only if the City Council finds that such alternative method of voting is more reflective of the burden of the special tax to be levied on the landowners in the proposed community facilities district.
