Cal. SHC § 35414.1

If the petition for the formation of a district and the resolution of intention to form the district state that this section shall apply to proceedings taken pursuant thereto, then the ordinance, resolution or indenture providing for the issuance of the bonds may, in lieu of the provision permitted by Section 35414, provide for the levy each year of an ad valorem assessment on all taxable real property in the district to provide moneys for all or any part of the principal and interest on the bonds, the costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the parking places, and the establishment or maintenance of any reserve funds, sinking funds or other funds designed for securing or paying the bonds and interest thereon. The rate of ad valorem assessment shall be fixed by the legislative body each year so as to produce the sums required under such provisions; provided, that the assessment shall not exceed the limits stated in the resolution of intention. The assessment shall be levied, collected and enforced in the same manner, at the same times, and with the same penalties and interest, as in the case of taxes levied for the city.
