The Shopoff Group (real estate investors) has submitted a request to the Riverside County Supervisors to change zoning in the area from rural residential to commercial. The Beaumont City Council has sent a resolution to the Riverside County Supervisors stating the city's stand as against a change to the zoning and disapproval of the storage facility. The residents of the Solera community have been actively working to stop this project since its inception. Because of the input from Solera and many Beaumont residents, Supervisor Marion Ashley created a committee to discuss the issue. Our own Anita Worthen was appointed to the committee. The committee was intended to meet over the next few months; however, by the second meeting it was apparent there was no appetite for the project and a motion was made to submit the recommendation to the Supervisors not to approve any zoning change or the project. The concern is that until the Supervisors vote the issue is still in play. Warehousing of the magnitude planned will impact our traffic and air quality. For more information the No Way Gateway grassroots group has a website Nowaygateway.org. Residents are invited to make use of the website and watch for further developments in the local newspapers. By Jeri Mupo Q: What is a CFD? A: The Mello-Roos (formally the Community Facilities Act) was passed by the California Legislature in 1982 after Prop 13 severely limited the ability of local governments to raise taxes. The bonds issued under Mello-Roos pay for the expense to the City for providing facilities and services, such as, sewer, water, streets, landscapes, bridges, parks and recreational facilities. Our CFD bond was issued to pay for the improvements for our community. Q: What is reformation? A: A reformation would be to pay off the existing bond with a new bond. Q: What is the benefit to approving the reformation? A: A new bond will provide a fixed assessment per year. Q: Why would we want to reform the current bond? A: Currently, the yearly assessments increase 2 percent per year. For instance, currently an Arbor assessment is $1,576.00 per year. With 2 percent per year, next year the assessment will be $1,608.00, in 5 years $1,811.00 and in 10 years it will be $2,080.00 and increasing an additional 2 percent per year. With a reformation there is an estimated payment of a constant $1,545 per year for the term of the bond for an Arbor. Q: If the reformation passes, will it change the amount I currently owe? A: No, you will continue to owe the original assessment less any payments made. Q: Can I pay off the assessment early? A: Yes, with the reformation you would now have four options to pay the CFD bond. 1) Pay the entire amount; 2) continue to pay at the increasing 2 percent per year; 3) pay at the new established fixed assessment; or 4) make any payment amount equal to or more than the yearly assessment. Q: If I prepay, will I pay interest for the full term of the bond? A: No, similar to your mortgage payment, prepaying the assessment will reduce the interest owed. Q: Does this benefit the city in any way? A: No. The reformation is a courtesy to the homeowners. Q: Who will vote for the reformation? A: All registered voters who live in District 7A. Q: What is the percentage of votes required to pass the reformation? A: 67 percent of those who vote. Q: Who will be handling the voter ballots? A: County of Riverside, Registrar of Voters. Q: What is the deadline for returning the ballot? A: Based on the current schedule, ballots need to be returned no later than August 4, 2014.
