In March 2022, parcels within the Montecito Assessment District No. 2 were subdivided into a total of 65 lots. If approved by the Board, Resolution No. EMRCFD RES 2023-159 will reallocate the existing assessment among those 65 lots and the remaining undivided area.

This action reallocates the original assessment amount of $934,701.23 in Assessment Number 005-04-068 with no additional impact.  The assessment will be allocated across 65 lots in the amount of $2,939.17 per lot.  The remaining $743,655.18 will be allocated in total to the remaining property within the assessment district.

Approval of the assessment modification will assign new assessment numbers and amounts as follows:
Original Assessment Number           Original Assessment Amount
005-04-068                                       $934,701.23

The final plat for Estrella Parcel 9.29 portions the land covered by assessment number 005-04-068, was approved by the City Council on March 28, 2022.  Other assessments within the Montecito Assessment District No. 2 have been similarly modified upon the subdivision of land securing the assessment.  This action was initiated by the application and petition for modification filed by Estrella North, LLC, the owner of all land subject to assessment 005-04-068.

District staff has reviewed the proposed modification of assessment number 005-04-068 and found that it is in compliance with State of Arizona law and the City of Goodyear’s Policy Guidelines and Application Procedures for Community Facilities Districts.
