Notice is hereby given that on June 25, 2026, the City Council of the City of Fresno ("City") adopted Council Resolution No. 2026-172 to annex Final Tract Map No. 6172 to the City of Fresno Community Facilities District No. 9 ("CFD No. 9") and to authorize the levy of Special Tax under the City of Fresno Special Tax Financing Law, Chapter 8, Division 1, Article 3 of the Fresno Municipal Code ("City Law"). Under this City Law and Council Resolution No. 2026-172, the City gives notice as follows: The text of Council Resolution No. 2026-172, including exhibits thereto, as adopted by the City is on file with the City Clerk and reference is made thereto for the particular provisions thereof. The text of Council Resolution No. 2026-172 is summarized as follows:
As permitted by City Law, the City is undertaking proceedings to annex additional territory to CFD No. 9, the boundaries of which are shown on the map on file with the City Clerk.
The purpose of CFD No. 9 is to provide services and maintenance for certain regulatory required public improvements that are constructed or installed on public property, dedicated rights-of-way or easements on the perimeter of commercial, industrial and multi-family subdivisions. These improvements include, without limitation, landscaping and irrigation systems, street trees, median hardscaping, local street curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street paving, street name signage and streetlights, trails and trail amenities ("Services").
The method of financing the Services is through the imposition and levy of a special tax ("Special Tax") to be apportioned on the properties in CFD No. 9 under the rate and method of apportionment described in Council Resolution No. 2026-172 and Exhibit D thereto. The special tax requires the approval of two-thirds of the qualified electors of CFD No. 9 at a special election called for that purpose by the City, with each voter having one vote for each acre, or portion of an acre, owned.
The Special Tax, if approved, will be used to finance all or a portion of the Services.
The Director of Public Works or his designee of the City is directed to cause to be prepared a written report for CFD No. 9, Annexation No. 75 ("District Report") that shows the Services by type and required to adequately meet the needs of CFD No. 9 and the estimated costs of the Services. The District Report will be made a permanent part of the record of the public hearing specified below. Reference is made to the District Report as filed with the City Clerk.
As set forth below, the City will hold a public hearing on the annexation of Final Tract Map No. 6172 to CFD No. 9 with its Services and Special Tax.
The time and place established under Council Resolution No. 2026-172 for the public hearing required under City Law are Thursday, July 30, 2026, at the hour of 9:15 m. or as soon as possible thereafter in the Council Chambers of the City of Fresno, 2600 Fresno Street, Fresno, California.
At the hearing, the testimony of all interested persons or taxpayers for or against the proposed annexation to CFD No. 9, the extent of CFD No. 9 or the furnishing of the Services will be heard. Any person interested may file a protest in writing as provided by City Law. If fifty percent or more of the registered voters, or six registered voters, whichever is more, residing in the territory proposed to be annexed to CFD No. 9, or the owners of one-half or more of the area of land in the territory proposed to be annexed to CFD No. 9 and not exempt from the Special Tax, file written protests against the annexation and the protests are not withdrawn to reduce the value of the protests to less than a majority, the City will take no further action to annex to CFD No. 9 or levy the Special Taxes for a period of one-year from the date of the decision of the City, and if the majority protests of the registered voters or landowners are only against the furnishing of a type or types of facilities within CFD No. 9, or against levying a specified Special Tax, those types of facilities or the specified special tax will be eliminated from the proceedings to annex to CFD No. 9.
The proposed voting procedure will be by mailed ballot among the property owners within the territory proposed to be annexed to CFD No. 9.
Dated as of July 7, 2026.
