(a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this division, the Yorba Linda County Water District may, pursuant to the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the Government Code, fix, in each fiscal year, within Improvement District No. 2 of the district, water standby or availability assessments of not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250) per year for (1) each acre or portion thereof or, in the alternative, (2) each residential unit, or the equivalent thereof as to property designated for other than residential purposes, not to exceed the maximum number of residential units or the equivalent thereof established in the General Plan for the property within Improvement District No. 2 adopted by the City of Yorba Linda on June 1, 1981, regardless of any amendment or revision of the General Plan, whether or not a residential unit or the equivalent thereof is actually constructed and whether the water is actually used or not. The Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda County Water District shall establish schedules varying the assessment according to the land uses and the degree of availability or quantity of use of the water to the affected lands within Improvement District No. 2. If the assessment is to be collected on the basis of units, the written consent of the owner of the property to be assessed on the basis of units shall be obtained.
(b)
The Yorba Linda County Water District may elect to have the assessments authorized by subdivision (a) for the fiscal year collected on the tax roll in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as, and together with and not separately from, county taxes. In that event, the district shall prepare a written report which shall be filed with the secretary. The report shall contain a description of each parcel of real property and the amount of the assessment for each parcel for the year. If the assessment is to be assessed on a residential unit or equivalent basis as described in subdivision (a), the assessment for each assessor’s parcel shall be determined by multiplying the estimated number of residential units or the equivalent thereof proposed at that time for the assessor’s parcel by the proposed amount per residential unit as shown in the assessor’s parcels in Improvement District No. 2 for the particular fiscal year.
(c)
The water standby or availability assessment authorized by this section shall not be imposed on any subdivided parcel upon which there exists a residential unit which has been connected to domestic water facilities of the Yorba Linda County Water District.
(d)
If the procedures set forth in this section as it read at the time a standby or availability assessment was established were followed, the district may, by resolution, continue the charge pursuant to this section in successive years at the same rate. If new, increased, or extended assessments are proposed, the district shall comply with the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the Government Code.
(e)
This section shall have no force or effect after January 1, 1989, except to the extent necessary to raise funds for interest or principal payments on bonds of Improvement District No. 2 issued prior to such date.
