support new development within the Hearthstone master-planned community. The CFD encompasses
approximately 75 taxable acres located north of Cole Road, south of the Central Main Canal, west of
Meadows Road, and east of State Highway 111. At full buildout, the development was anticipated to
include 457 single-family residential units. .
Following a public hearing and landowner election held on September 20, 2005, voters approved the
levy of a special tax and the issuance of bonded indebtedness not to exceed $15 million. Bonds in the
amount of $14,710,000 were subsequently issued on July 12, 2006, to finance the acquisition and
construction of authorized public facilities within the district.
Residential development within the CFD was ultimately completed at only approximately 50% of the
originally anticipated buildout. While City fees, improvements, and Ca …
