(b) The name of the proposed district.

(c) A description of the boundaries of the proposed district, including the boundaries of any benefit zones, proposed for establishment or extension in a manner sufficient to identify the affected lands and businesses included. Under no circumstances shall the boundaries of a proposed district overlap with the boundaries of another existing district created pursuant to this part. Nothing in this part prohibits the boundaries of a district created pursuant to this part to overlap with other assessment districts.

The plan shall also state whether bonds will be issued to finance improvements.

(g) The time and manner of collecting the assessments.

(h) The specific number of years in which assessments will be levied. In a new district, the maximum number of years shall be five. Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years. Notwithstanding those time limitations, a district that finances improvements with bonds may levy assessments until the maximum maturity of those bonds, not to exceed 20 years. The management district plan may set forth specific increases in assessments for each year of operation of the district.

(l) Any other item or matter required to be incorporated therein by the city council.
