WHEREAS, as required by section 53312.7 of the Act, the City Council has previously adopted on
October 11, 2017, its Community Facilities District Goals and Policies ("the "CFD Goals and Policies").
NOW, THEREFORE, the City of South San Francisco, does hereby resolve as follows:
1. The above recitals are true and correct.
2. A community facilities district is proposed to be established under the terms of the Act. It is further
proposed that the legal boundaries of Community Facilities District No. 2021-01 shall be those
shown in Attachment "A" hereto, which boundaries shall, upon recordation of the boundary map for
proposed Community Facilities District No. 2021-01, include the entirety of any parcel subject to
taxation by the District.
The proposed boundaries of the District are depicted on the map of proposed Community Facilities
District No. 2021-01 which is on file with the City Clerk. The City Clerk is hereby directed to sign the
original map of the proposed boundaries and record it with all proper endorsements thereon with the County
Recorder of the County of San Mateo within 15 days after the adoption of this resolution, all as required by
Section 3111 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.
The name of the proposed community facilities district shall be "City of South San Francisco
Community Facilities District No. 2021-01 (Public Facilities and Services), City of South San
Francisco, County of San Mateo, State of California."
4. The Facilities proposed to be provided within Community Facilities District No. 2021-01 and to be
financed by the District are public facilities as defined in the Act, which the City is authorized by law
to construct, acquire, own and operate. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the
description of the Facilities herein is sufficiently informative to allow taxpayers within the proposed
District to understand what the funds of the District may be used to finance. The Facilities Incidental
Expenses expected to be incurred include the costs of planning and designing the Facilities, the costs
of forming the District and the costs of issuing bonds and levying and collecting a special tax within
the District.
All or a portion of the Facilities may be purchased with District funds as completed public facilities
pursuant to Section 53314.9 of the Act or as discrete portions or phases pursuant to Section 53313.51 of the
Act and/or maybe acquired or constructed with District funds pursuant to Section 53316.2 of the Act.
City of South San Francisco Page 2
File Number., 20-1032
Enactment Number. RES 18-2021
Any portion of the Facilities may be financed through a lease or lease -purchase arrangement if the District
hereafter determines that such arrangement is of benefit to the District.
The Services proposed to be provided for the benefit of Community Facilities District No. 2021-01
are public services as defined in the Act, and this City Council finds and determines that the Services to be
financed are in addition to those provided in the territory of the District at the present time and do not
supplant services already available within the territory of the District. The City Council hereby finds and
determines that the description of the Services herein is sufficiently informative to allow taxpayers within the
proposed District, to understand what the funds of the District may be used to finance. The Services
Incidental Expenses expected to be incurred include the costs of planning the Services, the costs of forming
the District, the cost of levying and collecting the Services Special Tax within the proposed District, and the
cost of administration.
5. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the City Council to levy annually in
accordance with the procedures contained in the Act, the Facilities Special Tax within the District,
secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property within the District,
sufficient to pay for: (i) the portion of the Facilities and the Facilities Incidental Expenses; and (ii)
the principal and interest and other periodic costs on bonds or other indebtedness issued by the
District to finance the Facilities and Incidental Expenses, including the establishment and
replenishment of any reserve funds deemed necessary by the District, and any remarketing, credit
enhancement and liquidity facility fees (including such fees for instruments which serve as the basis
of a reserve fund in lieu of cash). The rate and method of apportionment and manner of collection of
the Facilities Special Tax for the District are described in detail in Attachment "C" attached hereto,
which Attachment "C" is incorporated herein by this reference. Attachment "C" allows each
landowner within proposed the District to estimate the maximum amount that may be levied against
each parcel. In the first year in which the Facilities Special Tax is levied in the District, the levy shall
include an amount sufficient to repay to the District all amounts, if any, transferred to the District
pursuant to Section 53314 of the Act and interest thereon.
If the Facilities Special Tax is levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes, (i) the
maximum special tax rate shall be specified as a dollar amount which shall be calculated and established not
later than the date on which the parcel is first subject to the special tax because of its use for private
residential purposes and shall not be increased over time except that it may be increased by an amount equal
to two percent (2%) per year as set forth in the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax for the
District as set forth in Attachment "C", (ii) the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied until the final series of
bonds for the District has matured, provided that the special tax shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2070-71,
and (iii) under no circumstances will the Facilities Special Tax levied against any such parcel used for private
residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other
parcel or parcels within the District by more than ten percent above the amount that would have been levied
in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
The Facilities Special Tax within the District is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real
property within the District will place on the Facilities and on the benefit that each parcel derives from the
right to access the Facilities. The City Council hereby determines that the proposed Facilities are necessary
to meet the increased demand placed upon the City and the existing infrastructure in the City as a result of the
development of the land proposed for inclusion in the District. The City Council hereby determines the rate
and method of apportionment of the special tax proposed for the District as set forth in Attachment "C" to be
reasonable as to the Facilities Special Tax. The Facilities Special Tax is apportioned to each parcel on the
foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such Facilities Special Tax is not on or based upon
the value or ownership of real property. In the event that a portion of the property within the District shall
City of South San Francisco Page 3
File Number. 20-1032 Enactment Number: RES 18-2021
become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the Facilities Special Tax specified on
Attachment "C," the City Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 2021-01, cause the
levy to be increased, subject to the limitation of the maximum special tax for a parcel as set forth in
Attachment "C" to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within the proposed District which is
not exempt in order to yield the special tax revenues required for the purposes described in this Section 5.
The obligation to pay special taxes for the District may be prepaid only as set forth in Section H of
Attachment "C."
6. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the City Council to levy annually in
accordance with the procedures contained in the Act, the Services Special Tax, secured by
recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the District, sufficient to pay
for the Services and the Services Incidental Expenses. The rate and method of apportionment and
manner of collection of the Services Special Tax are described in detail in Attachment "C" attached
hereto. Attachment "C" allows each landowner within the District to estimate the maximum amount
of the Services Special Tax that may be levied against each parcel.
The Services Special Tax may be increased by two percent (2%) per year, as set forth in the rate and
method of apportionment of the special tax for the District as set forth in Attachment "C". The Services
Special Tax may be levied for such period as the Services are needed, as further described in Attachment "C"
hereto, provided that under no circumstances will the Services Special Tax levied against any such parcel
used for private residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or
owners of any other parcel or parcels within the District by more than ten percent 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 is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within
proposed Community Facilities District No. 2021-01 will place on the Services. The City Council hereby
determines that the proposed Services are necessary to meet the increased demand placed upon the City as a
result of the development of the land proposed for inclusion in the District. The City Council hereby
determines the rate and method of apportionment of the special taxes set forth in Attachment "C" to be
reasonable as to the Services Special Tax. The Services Special Tax is apportioned to each parcel on the
foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such Services Special Tax is not on or based upon
the value or ownership of real property
7. A public hearing (the "Hearing") on the proposed establishment of Community Facilities District No.
2021-01, the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax and the bonded indebtedness
proposed for the District to finance the Facilities, the Services and the Incidental Expenses shall be

the Municipal Services Building, 33 Arroyo Drive, South San Francisco, California 94080 or at a
virtual location established by the City Council. Should the City Council determine to form the
District, a special election will be held within the District to authorize the issuance of bonds of the
District and the levy of the Facilities Special Tax and the Services Special Tax within the District in
accordance with the procedures contained in Section 53326 of the Act. If held, the proposed voting
procedure at the elections will be a landowner vote with each landowner who is the owner of record
of land within the District at the close of the Hearing, or the authorized representative thereof, having
one vote for each acre or portion thereof owned within the District. Ballots for the special elections
may be distributed by mail or by personal service.

including the cost of environmental evaluations of such Facilities and Services and an estimate of the
fair and reasonable cost of any Incidental Expenses to be incurred.

Special Tax A that could be levied against all Developed Property in CFD No. 2021-01 in each

D METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
D.1 Special Tax A
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD Administrator
shall determine the Special Tax A Levy as follows:
First: Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property
in an amount necessary to equal (i) the Special Tax A Requirement, or (ii) 100% of the applicable
Assigned Special Tax A, whichever occurs first.
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first step
has been completed, the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of
Undeveloped Property until (i) the total Special Taxes levied under the first two steps listed in this
Section D equal the Special Tax A Requirement, or (ii) the Special Tax A levied on Undeveloped
Property equals 100% of the Maximum Special Tax A for Undeveloped Property, whichever occurs
first.
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first two
steps have been completed, then the levy of the Special Tax A on each Assessor’s Parcel of
Developed Property for which the Maximum Special Tax A is determined through the application of
the Backup Special Tax A shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax A
up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax A for each such Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property
until (i) the total Special Taxes levied under the first three steps listed in this Section D equal the
Special Tax A Requirement, or (ii) the Special Taxes levied on all Developed Property equal 100% of
the Maximum Special Tax A for Developed Property, whichever occurs first.
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first three
steps have been completed, the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s
Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property until (i) the total Special Taxes levied under
the first four steps listed in this Section D equal the Special Tax A Requirement, or (ii) the Special
Taxes levied on all Taxable Property Owner Association Property equal 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax A for Taxable Property Owner Association Property, whichever occurs first.
Fifth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first four
steps have been completed, the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s
Parcel of Taxable Public Property until (i) the total Special Taxes levied under the first five steps
listed in this Section D equal the Special Tax A Requirement, or (ii) the Special Taxes levied on all
Taxable Public Property equal 100% of the Maximum Special Tax A for Taxable Public Property,
whichever occurs first.
Notwithstanding the above, the CFD Administrator or its designee may, in any Fiscal Year, levy
Proportionately less than 100% of the Assigned Special Tax A in the first step (above), when (i) the
City is no longer required to levy the Special Tax A beyond the first step (above) in order to meet the
Special Tax A Requirement; and (ii) all authorized CFD No. 2021-01 Bonds have already been issued
or the City has covenanted that it will not issue any additional CFD No. 2021-01 Bonds (except
refunding bonds), to be supported by the Special Tax A.
B-14
D.2 Special Tax B
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD Administrator
shall Proportionately levy the annual Special Tax B on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property
at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax B, until the amount of Special Taxes equals
the Special Tax B Requirement.
E EXEMPTIONS
E.1 Special Tax A
No Special Tax A shall be levied on Public Property and Property Owner Association Property in
CFD No. 2021-01 provided that no such exemption shall reduce the total Acreage of Taxable
Property to less than 40 Acres. Tax-exempt status shall be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the
chronological order in which property in CFD No. 2021-01 becomes Public Property or Property
Owner Association Property. However, should an Assessor’s Parcel of Public Property or Property
Owner Association Property no longer be classified as tax-exempt, it will, from that point forward, be
subject to the Special Tax A. Furthermore, any Assessor’s Parcel designated as Public Property or
Property Owner Association that cannot be exempt from Special Tax A because such exemption
would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property within CFD No. 2021-01 to less than 40 Acres
shall be designated as Taxable Public Property or Taxable Property Owner Association Property.
Prior to sixty (60) days before the issuance of a first series of CFD No. 2021-01 Bonds, the CFD
Administrator may increase or decrease the final number of minimum taxable Acres in CFD No.
2021-01 to better reflect the actual tax-exempt acreage within CFD No. 2021-01. However,
notwithstanding the above, the final number of taxable Acres in CFD No. 2021-01 shall not be
decreased if it causes an increase in the Special Tax A levied on any existing Assessor’s Parcel of
Developed Property or Undeveloped Property.
E.2 Special Tax B
No Special Tax B shall be levied on Public Property or Property Owner Association. However,
should an Assessor’s Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association
Property, such Assessor’s Parcel shall, upon each reclassification, no longer be exempt from Special
Tax B.
F REVIEW/APPEAL PROCESS
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Tax on his/her property with the CFD
Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. During
the pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the payment
date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant
claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the
appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If
the CFD Administrator disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the
determination, the appellant then has thirty (30) days in which to appeal to the City by filing a written
notice of appeal with the clerk of the City, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments
of Special Taxes. The second appeal must specify the reasons for the appellant’s disagreement with
the CFD Administrator’s determination. The CFD Administrator may charge the appellant a
reasonable fee for processing the appeal.
B-15
Interpretations may be made by the CFD Administrator, without Resolution or Ordinance of
the City, for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity as it relates to the Special Taxes, the
Rate and Method of Apportionment, or any other definition applicable to CFD No. 2021-01.
Without City Council approval, the CFD Administrator may make minor, non-substantive
administrative and technical changes to the provisions of this document that do not materially affect
the rate, method of apportionment, and manner of collection of the Special Tax for purposes of
administrative efficiency or convenience or to comply with new applicable federal, state, or local
law. Any decision of the City will be final and binding as to all persons.
G MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax Levy shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary
ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may
collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary or otherwise advisable
to meet its financial obligations for CFD No. 2021-01, and may covenant to foreclose and may
actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.
H PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX A
Under this Rate and Method of Apportionment, an Assessor’s Parcel within
CFD No. 2021-01 is permitted to prepay the Special Tax A. The obligation of the owner of an
Assessor’s Parcel to pay the Special Tax A may be fully or partially prepaid and permanently
satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only for Assessor’s Parcels of
Developed Property, or for an Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a Building
Permit has been issued after January 1, 2021, and only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with
respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel
intending to prepay the Special Tax A obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written
notice of intent to prepay. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD
Administrator shall notify such owner of the Special Tax Prepayment Amount (defined below) for
such Assessor’s Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge such owner a reasonable fee for
providing this service. If there are Outstanding Bonds, prepayment must be made not less than thirty
(30) days prior to a date that notice of redemption of CFD No. 2021-01 Bonds from the proceeds of
such prepayment may be given by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

(capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
Plus Redemption Premium
Plus Future Facilities Amount
Plus Defeasance Amount
Plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
Less Reserve Fund Credit
Less Capitalized Interest Credit
Equals Special Tax A Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount shall be calculated
according to the following paragraphs:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax A delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Assigned Special Tax A
and Backup Special Tax A for the Assessor’s Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor’s
Parcels of Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued after
January 1, 2021, compute the Assigned Special Tax A and Backup Special Tax A for
that Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property,
based upon the Building Permit which has already been issued for such Assessor’s
Parcel.
3. (a) Divide the Assigned Special Tax A computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total
estimated Assigned Special Tax A levy for CFD No. 2021-01 based on the Assigned
Special Tax A for Developed Property which could be levied, excluding any
Assessor’s Parcels which have been prepaid.
(b) Divide the Backup Special Tax A computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by
the total estimated Backup Special Tax A for the entire CFD No. 2021-01, excluding

applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Previously Issued Bonds to be
redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Compute the current Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the
amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future
Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year
until the earliest redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds specified in the
report of the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount.
9. Determine the Special Tax A levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive
from the reinvestment of the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount, less any interest
earnings attributed to the Administrative Fees and Expenses (defined below) from the
date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds to be
redeemed with the prepayment.
11. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. The administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2021-01 are as calculated by the
CFD Administrator and include the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs

expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as a result of the
prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement
(as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Previously Issued
Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the
prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero. No Reserve
Fund Credit shall be granted if the amount then on deposit in the reserve fund for the
Previously Issued Bonds is below 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the
Indenture).
14. If any Capitalized Interest for the Previously Issued Bonds will not have been
expended as of the date immediately following the first interest and/or principal
payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be
calculated by multiplying the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or
B-18
3(b) by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund or account under the
Indenture after such first interest and/or principal payment date (the “Capitalized
Interest Credit”).
15. The Special Tax A prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant
to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 11, and 12, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs
13 and 14 (the “Special Tax A Prepayment Amount”).
H.2 Prepayment in Part
The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1; except that a partial prepayment
shall be calculated according to the following formula:
PP = (PE – A) x F + A.
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = The partial prepayment;
PE = The Special Tax A Prepayment Amount calculated according to
Section H.1;
F = The percentage by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is
partially prepaying the Special Tax A; and
A = The Administrative Fees and Expenses from Section H.1.
The owner of any Assessor’s Parcel who desires such prepayment shall notify the CFD Administrator
of such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax A and the percentage by which the Special
Tax A shall be prepaid.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is partially prepaid, CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute
the funds remitted to it according to Section H.3, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2021-01
that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax A and that a portion of the Special Tax A
with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining
Maximum Special Tax A, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section
D.
H.3 General Provisions Applicable to the Prepayment of Special Tax
H.3.a Use of the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount
The Special Tax A Prepayment Amount, less the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated
according to Sections H.1 and H.2 which shall be retained by CFD No. 2021-01, and less the Future
Facilities Amount calculated according to Section H.1 which shall be deposited into the Improvement
Fund, shall be deposited into specific funds established under the Indenture, to fully or partially
redeem as many Outstanding Bonds as possible, and, if amounts are less than $5,000, to make debt
service payments on the Outstanding Bonds (collectively designated as the “Bond Retirement
Funds”).
B-19
H.3.b Full Prepayment of Special Tax A
Upon confirmation of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s entire Special Tax A obligation, the
CFD Administrator may remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax A levy for such Assessor’s
Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is prepaid in accordance
with Section H.1, the CFD Administrator shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance
with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax A and the release of the Special Tax A
lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax A for such Assessor’s Parcel
shall cease.
H.3.c Debt Service Coverage
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment of the Special Tax A shall be allowed unless the
amount of Special Tax A that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 2021-01 in each
future Fiscal Year (after excluding Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association
Property as set forth in Section E herein), after the proposed prepayment, is at least equal to the sum
of (i) 1.10 times the debt service necessary to support the remaining Outstanding Bonds in each
corresponding Fiscal Year, and (ii) the Administrative Expenses as defined in Section A herein.
I TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
Special Tax A shall be levied until the final series of CFD No. 2021-01 Bonds have matured,
provided that the Special Tax A shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2070-2071. The Special Taxes
will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all
required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2021-01 Bonds have been paid and the City
has covenanted that it will not issue any more CFD No. 2021-01 Bonds (other than refunding bonds)
to be supported by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment as described
in Section D.
Special Tax B shall be levied in perpetuity.
