Other rural properties not on the list were also reviewed to determine if they should be added to this list. None were found. Staff did find some technical corrections necessary in the resolution, but these corrections will not result in the removal of any property from the rural taxing district list. Background On January 19, 2000, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 674, which established a rural taxing district and determined a tax ratio for lands in the rural taxing district. A resolution listing the properties in the rural taxing district was adopted on May 17, 2000 (Resolution No. 00 -94). On November 15, 2006, the City Council amended this resolution which resulted in adding and deleting certain properties on the list. The criteria for a rural tax status are: • The property must be zoned agricultural; and • At least 50 percent of the property is in agricultural use. Properties not meeting the above criteria would be treated, from a tax rate perspective, in the same manner as urban properties in the city. Property owners in the rural taxing district pay 70 percent of the urban rate for the City's portion of their property tax. The County, School District, and other taxing jurisdictions do not provide for reduced taxes for agricultural properties. wrlam= Every few years, properties qualifying for rural tax status are reviewed to ensure they still meet the rural taxing criteria. Staff reviewed this list and found all the properties qualifying for the rural tax status will still remain in the rural taxing district. Exhibit A is a map showing the properties that are currently in the rural taxing district. The green colored pattern on this map represent 169 parcels totaling 6,974 acres of land. Adopt a resolution amending City Resolution No. 06 -239, which lists properties that are in the rural taxing district.
