DATE: August 28, 2018
SUBJECT: LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT ANNEXATION 2018-3
RESOLUTIONS OF INTENT AND INITIATING PROCEEDINGS
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Kevin Tonoian
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
Adopt a resolution to approve the Engineer's Report declaring its intention to annex parcels,
including the Sand Canyon Plaza (Master Case No. 14-077); Oakridge Commercial (Master
Case No. 05-173); Veluzat/Golden Valley Road Condominiums (Master Case No. 06-209);
Valencia Chevron (Master Case No. 14-204); and various non-residential parcels into the
Santa Clarita Landscape and Lighting District (LLD), Streetlight Maintenance District Zone
B (SMDB).
2. Adopt a resolution to initiate proceedings, make certain designations in connection with the
annexation of parcels into the LLD, SMDB, and to levy assessments beginning in Fiscal Year
(FY) 2019-20.
3. Set a public hearing for October 23, 2018, at a time and place to hear comments on this
proposed action, and close the time period to receive ballots.
BACKGROUND
The action before the City Council is the initiation of proceedings associated with LLD
Annexation 2018-3. This action includes approving an Engineer's Report for the purpose of
annexing specific parcels throughout the City of Santa Clarita (City), including the Sand Canyon
Plaza Project, into SMDB.
On September 12, 2017, the Santa Clarita City Council approved Master Case 14-077 associated
with the Sand Canyon Plaza Project. As a condition of their development agreement, Sand
Canyon Plaza was required to annex into SMDB.
Page 1
In addition to the Sand Canyon Plaza, the following three development projects incorporate
conditions requiring annexation into SMDB. These projects include the future Oakridge
Commercial Center (Master Case No. 05-173), the Veluzat/Golden Valley Road Condominiums
(Master Case No. 06-209), and Valencia Chevron (Master Case No. 14-204).
As part of these proceedings, staff has identified additional non-residential parcels proposed for
annexation into SMDB. These non -conditioned parcels all derive special benefit from streetlight
improvements funded by the City and are appropriate to consider annexing at this time.
The annexation map attached to this report highlight these parcels that are generally located at
the intersections of Soledad Canyon Road and Whites Canyon Road, Soledad Canyon Road and
Sierra Highway, and Newhall Avenue, south of Railroad Avenue. None of the parcels proposed
for annexation encompass any residential properties.
The City's existing streetlight system is comprised of 16,210 Southern California Edison -owned
streetlights, and approximately 1,300 additional streetlights owned by the City, that are located
throughout Santa Clarita. The presence of the City's existing streetlight system confers a distinct
and special benefit to all parcels identified for annexation into the LLD.
The LLD is governed by the laws of the State of California, including the Landscaping and
Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highway Code
commencing with Section 22500, and in accordance with Article XIIID of the California
Constitution and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act.
The laws prescribe specific steps be followed to annex parcels into special districts, including the
requirement for an assessment ballot process involving the owners of the parcels affected by the
special district. The recommended actions are in full compliance with the requirements of the
Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act.
The City Council's adoption of the resolution to initiate proceedings and approve the Engineer's
Report will commence an assessment ballot process, whereby property owners will be presented
with the option to annex into SMDB as summarized above for the City Council. Ballots will be
mailed to all affected property owners no less than 45 -days prior to the public hearing, as
required by State Law. This public hearing is scheduled for the October 23, 2018, meeting of the
City Council.
Upon tabulation of assessment ballots, should a majority protest among all parcel owners
returning ballots not exist, annexation of parcels into SMDB would commence beginning in FY
2019-20.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other direction as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this action. Costs associated with
preparation of the Engineer's Report and balloting process are $10,000 and will be borne by the
applicants conditioned to annex into the LLD.

Overview
The City of Santa Clarita (the "City"), under the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of
1972, being Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, commencing with
Section 22500 (the "1972 Act") and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D
enacted by Proposition 218 (the "Constitution"), has annually levied and collect special
assessments for the City's maintenance assessment districts designated as:
• Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 ("SMD No.1" previously LLA -1);
• Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 ("LIVID No. 1"); and
• Landscape Maintenance District No. T1 ("LIVID No. T1")
These three districts incorporated and were inclusive of Streetlighting Zones A and B, and
Landscaping Zones 1, 2, 3, 3A, 4, 5, 5A, 6, 7, 7A, 8, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 2008-1, T2, T3,T313, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T17, T20, T23, T23 -A, T23-13, T29,
T31, T33, T44, T46, T47, T48, T51, T52, T62, T65, T65 -A, T65 -B, T67, T68, T69, T71, T77 and
T1 (the "Zones).
In Fiscal Year 2017/2018, pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 2, Section 22605 of the 1972 Act, the
City Council consolidated the three previous districts including the Zones therein into a single
assessment district, designated as:
Santa Clarita Landscaping and Lighting District
(the "District"), to provide and maintain the various landscaping and lighting improvements
throughout the City that provide special benefits to properties within the District.
In accordance with the 1972 Act, the District retained the Zone designations, Zone boundaries,
methods of apportionment and authorized maximum assessments for each Zone previously
established for the previous districts to address variations in the nature, location, and extent of
the improvements that provide special benefits to parcels within the City. Within the boundaries
of the District, parcels are assigned to various Zones each of which is associated with a set of
improvements and/or type of improvements that provide special benefit to properties within that
Zone. The landscaping improvements are generally located within the right of ways and
easements of the respective Landscaping Zones, and the streetlights associated with the
Streetlighting Zones are included on lighting inventory maps available for inspection at the City.
The City Council of the City of Santa Clarita being the legislative body for the Santa Clarita
Landscaping and Lighting District, may pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 2 of the 1972 Act, annex
territory and levy annual assessments for the maintenance, operation, and administration of the
District, and Section 22608 of the 1972 Act further states in part "In annexation proceedings, the
resolutions, report, notices of hearing, and right of majority protest shall be limited to the territory
proposed to be annexed...".
In addition, the 1972 Act provides for the levy of annual assessments after annexation into an
assessment district for the continued maintenance and servicing of the improvements. The 1972
Act further allows various areas to be annexed into an existing district and or zone of benefit
("Zone"), when the territory in the annexation receives substantially the same proportional special
benefits from the improvements. The costs associated with the installation, maintenance, and
Annexation No. 2018-3 City of Santa Clarita Final Engineer's Report

servicing of the improvements may be assessed to those properties, which are benefited by the
installation, maintenance, and servicing of such improvements.
As required pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 of the 1972 Act, this Report shall serve as the detailed
engineer's report specifically for the annexation of territory to specified Zones within the Santa
Clarita Landscaping and Lighting District (specifically Streetlighting Zone B). This Report
specifically addresses the annexation of approximately two hundred thirty-two (231.81) acres of
territory within the City of Santa Clarita consisting of ninety-three (93) properties (non-residential
parcels and/or developments) to be designated and referred to as:
Santa Clarita Landscaping and Lighting District, Annexation No. 2018-3
(hereafter referred to as "Annexation No. 2018-3" or "SMD Annexation L-98"), and the
establishment of the maximum annual assessments related thereto, to be levied and collected
upon properties within Annexation No. 2018-3 commencing in Fiscal Year 2019/2020 for the
special benefits received by each property from the maintenance and servicing of streetlighting
improvements to be provided by the City through the District. The parcels within Annexation No.
2018-3 are more specifically described in "Part I — Plans and Specification" of this Report.
For Fiscal Year 2019/2020, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita proposes to annex the
various parcels and developments referenced as Annexation No. 2018-3 into Streetlighting Zone
B to provide an annual funding source to adequately support the ongoing maintenance, servicing,
operation, and incidental expenses associated with the streetlighting and appurtenant facilities
and amenities that benefit the identified properties within Annexation No. 2018-3 and the new
boundaries of Zone B resulting from the annexation of these parcels. By resolution, the City
Council has ordered the preparation of this Report in connection with the proceedings for the
annexation of the parcels within Annexation No. 2018-3 to Streetlighting Zone B of the District
pursuant to the 1972 Act and the California Constitution. One or more Annexation Diagrams
identifying the territory and location of the parcels being annexed into Streetlighting Zone B (SMD
Annexation L-98) as part of Annexation No. 2018-3 is provided in "Part IV - Annexation Diagrams"
of this Report.
Annually, the City establishes the assessments for each of the District Zones based on the special
benefit received by the properties in that Zone and the associated net special benefit expenses.
These special benefit expenses are based on the historical and estimated costs to maintain the
improvements that provide direct and special benefits to properties within each Zone of the District
including the parcels within Annexation No. 2018-3, and include all expenditures, deficits,
surpluses, revenues, and reserves. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those
improvements provided and for which the parcel receives special benefits.
The word "parcel," for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its
own Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) by the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office. The Los
Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor's Parcel Numbers and a dedicated fund
number established for the District to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll and the
allocation of the funds collected and disbursed to the City on behalf of the District.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone of this Report is,
for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Report
and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone
thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses,
phrases, portions, zones, or subzones might subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Ballot Proceedings
On November 5, 1996, the electorate of the State of California approved Proposition 218, Right
to Vote on Taxes Act, which added Articles XIIIC and MID to the California Constitution. The
Article MID affects all assessments upon real property for a special benefit conferred on the
property. Assessments imposed under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 are these types
of benefit assessments.
The provisions of Proposition 218 can be summarized in four general areas:
1. Strengthens the general and special tax provisions of Propositions 13 and 62;
2. Extends the initiative process to all local taxes, assessments, fees and charges;
3. Adds substantive and procedural requirements to assessments; and
4. Adds substantive and procedural requirements to property -related fees and charges.
Pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution, the City shall
conduct a property owner protest ballot proceeding ("Ballot Proceeding") for the proposed levy of
new or increased assessments as described in this Report. In conjunction with this Ballot
Proceeding, the City Council will conduct a noticed public hearing to consider public testimonies,
comments, and written protests regarding the annexation of the parcels within Annexation No.
2018-3 and the establishment of the proposed new assessments related thereto. Upon conclusion
of the public hearing, property owner protest ballots received will be opened and tabulated to
determine whether majority protest exists as defined in Article MID of the California Constitution.
"A majority protest exists if, upon the conclusion of the hearing, ballots submitted in opposition to
the assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the assessment. In tabulating the ballots,
the ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected
property."
After completion of the ballot tabulation, the City Council will confirm the results of the balloting.
If majority protest exists for the proposed assessments, further proceedings to annex the parcels
within the proposed Annexation No. 2018-3 territory and implementation of the new assessments
for those parcels shall be abandoned at this time. If tabulation of the ballots indicate that majority
protest does not exist for the proposed assessments and the assessment range formula
presented and described herein, the City Council may adopt this Report (as submitted or
amended); approve the assessment diagram(s) contained herein (Annexation Diagrams); order
the annexation of the parcels within Annexation No. 2018-3 to Streetlighting Zone B of the District
and the related improvements to be made; and confirm the new assessments for such parcels as
outlined in this Report.
The assessments as approved including the assessment range formula, may be levied and
collected on the County tax rolls commencing in Fiscal Year 2019/2020 together with the
assessments for other properties in the District. For Fiscal Year 2019/2020 and each subsequent
fiscal year, an engineer's annual levy report for the District shall be prepared and presented to
the City Council to address any proposed changes to the District or Zones, as well as any
proposed changes to the improvements, budgets and assessments for that fiscal year. The City
Council shall hold a noticed public hearing regarding these matters prior to approving and ordering
the levy of annual assessments.
If in any fiscal year, the proposed annual assessments for parcels with the District or Zone exceed
the maximum assessments and specifically those assessments described herein for Annexation
Annexation No. 2018-3 City of Santa Clarita Final Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2019/2020 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 3

No. 2018-3, such an assessment would be considered a new or increased assessment and must
be confirmed through a mailed property owner protest ballot proceeding for the affected parcels
before such a new or increased assessment may be imposed.
Assessment Range Formula (Consumer Price Index Adjustment)
With the exceptions of the District's Streetlighting Zone A, and Landscaping Zones T20, T33, T44,
T48 and T62, which are not part addressed in the Report, the authorized maximum assessment
rates for all other District Zones, includes an annual cost of living adjustment based on the annual
percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This annual adjustment to the maximum
assessment rates authorized is defined as follows:
The maximum assessment rate may increase each fiscal year based on the annual change in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI), during the preceding year, for All Urban Consumers, for the Los
Angeles, Riverside and Orange County areas, published by the United States Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (or a reasonably equivalent index should the stated index be
discontinued).
The maximum assessments described in this Report for Streetlighting Zone B to be presented to
the property owners of record within Annexation No. 2018-3 as part of the Ballot Proceeding, are
based on the current (Fiscal Year 2018/2019) maximum assessment rate for Streetlighting Zone
B of $81.71 and the method of apportionment established for the Zone. This maximum
assessment rate shall be adjusted according to the assessment range formula described above
for Fiscal Year 2019/2020 as part of the District's annual assessment process, and the
assessment rate and parcel assessment amounts for parcels within Streetlighting Zone B
including the parcels within Annexation No. 2018-3 as described herein, may be adjusted
accordingly for the assessments in Fiscal Year 2019/2020.

Lighting Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As may be applicable to the District and specifically the Report regarding Annexation 2018-3 and
streetlighting, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the
following:
➢ The installation or construction of public lighting facilities.
➢ The maintenance and/or servicing of any public lighting facilities.
➢ The acquisition of any existing lighting improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this
section.
Incidental expenses associated with the lighting improvements which include, but are not
limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram,
and assessment;
• The costs of printing, advertising, and the giving of published, posted, and mailed notices;
• Compensation payable to the county for collection of assessments;
• Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services in the proceeding;
• Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and
servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5.
• Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased
assessment.
The 1972 Act defines "maintain" or "maintenance" to mean furnishing of services and materials
for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including
the repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any lighting improvement.
Streetlighting Improvements Applicable to Annexation Territory
Streetlighting Zones within the District were established to collect funds to cover the expenses for
energy and maintenance of a majority of streetlights in the City. These costs are billed by the
Southern California Edison Company for the approximately 17,272 streetlights currently owned
and maintained by Edison and the approximately 1,390 streetlights owned by the City. The
proposed new and/or existing improvements for Streetlighting Zones A and B include, but are not
limited to, and may be generally described as follows:
• The installation of streetlighting, traffic signals and other appurtenant facilities that are
necessary for the daily operation of said lighting located within City road rights-of-way.
Installation covers all work necessary for the installment or replacement of said lighting and
all appurtenant work necessary to complete said installation or replacement.
Annexation No. 2018-3 City of Santa Clarita Final Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2019/2020 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 6
W I LLDAN
The operation, maintenance, and servicing of all existing streetlighting, traffic signals, and
other appurtenant facilities that are necessary for the daily operation of said lighting located
within City road rights-of-way. Operation, maintenance, and servicing means all work
necessary for the daily maintenance required to maintain said lights in proper operation
including providing said lights with the proper energy necessary to operate the lights.
The payment of debt service on bonds or other obligations, including installment payments,
to be issued or incurred during the fiscal year. Obligations may be incurred during the fiscal
year for the acquisition, installation and conversion, including the retrofitting, of street lights
within the Consolidated District and Zones and may be secured by and/or payable from a
portion of the assessments levied in each fiscal year until the obligation is paid. The City
Council has determined that estimated cost of the acquisition, installation and conversion of
street lights within the Consolidated District and retrofit thereof, is greater than can be
conveniently raised from a single annual assessment, and that the estimated cost, plus
incidental expenses and financing costs, shall be collected over a period not to exceed thirty
(30) years, commencing fiscal year 2019/2020 and continuing through 2048/2049. The
maximum annual assessment installment is estimated to be an amount not to exceed
$1,512,619 (30 year financing), which is to be included in the annual budget of the
Consolidated District.
All improvements consisting of ornamental streetlights, mast arm streetlights and appurtenant
facilities do exist at the present time. The cost associated with these improvements will be the
cost of operations, maintenance and servicing during Fiscal Year 2018/2019.
Plans and Specifications for the improvements within the Streetlighting Zones are voluminous
and are not bound in this report but by this reference are incorporated and made a part of this
report. These plans and specification as well as the location of the streetlights included on lighting
inventory maps are on file at the City where they are available for public inspection.

Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of
1972, permits the establishment of Assessment Districts by cities for the purpose of providing
certain public improvements which include the acquisition, construction, maintenance and
servicing of streetlights, traffic signals and landscaping facilities.
Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that assessments be levied
according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an Assessment District may be apportioned
by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or
parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the
improvements."
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual Assessment District
if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various
areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the
1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
In addition, Proposition 218 requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable
cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Proposition 218 provides that
only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the
special benefits.
Reason for the Assessment
The assessments are proposed to be levied to defray the costs of the acquisition, installation,
maintenance and servicing of landscaping and lighting improvements, as previously defined
herein in "Part I -Plans and Specifications" of this Report.
Special Benefit Analysis
In determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of
the parcel to the public improvements detailed in "Part I -Plans and Specifications" of this Report,
and the capital, maintenance and operating costs of said public improvements, was considered
and analyzed. Due to the close proximity of the parcels to the improvements detailed in "Part I -
Plans and Specifications" of this Report, it has been demonstrated and determined the parcels
are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are conferred a particular
and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by, said public improvements in a
way that is particular and distinct from its effect on other parcels and that real property in general
and the public at large do not share.

Most of the streetlighting improvements were conditions of approval for the creation or
development of the parcels. In order to create or develop the parcels, the City required the original
developer to install, and guarantee the maintenance of, streetlighting and appurtenant facilities to
serve the parcels. Therefore, these parcels within the District could not have been developed in
the absence of the installation and promised maintenance of these facilities.
Annexation No. 2018-3 City of Santa Clarita Final Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2019/2020 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 9
W I LLDAN
The proper maintenance of the streetlighting and appurtenant facilities specially benefit parcels
within the Streetlighting Zones of the District. The proper maintenance of the streetlighting and
appurtenant facilities reduces property -related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties
in the Streetlighting Zones. The streetlighting located in the District helps to visually join the
various segments of the community, which enhance property.
The benefit provided by streetlighting consists of safety for pedestrians and motorists living and
owning property in the District during the nighttime hours. This is a particular and distinct special
benefit to all developed parcels in the District.
Streetlights can be determined to be an integral part of streets as a permanent public
improvement. One of the principle purposes of fixed roadway lighting is to create a nighttime
environment conducive to quick, accurate, and comfortable seeing for the user of the facility.
These factors, if attained, combine to improve traffic safety and achieve efficient traffic movement.
Fixed lighting can enable the motorist to see detail more distinctly and to react safely toward
roadway and traffic conditions present on or near the roadway facility.
Streets are constructed for the safe and convenient travel by vehicles and pedestrians. They also
provide an area for underground and overhead utilities.
Streetlights are considered an integral part of the entire street, the same as curb, gutters,
pavement, signage and striping. They are the elements that provide a safe route for motorists and
pedestrians. Streetlights are installed to make streets safer. Assessments for the acquisition,
maintenance and servicing of streets may include streetlights.
Streetlights are installed to provide better visibility for drivers. One hundred (100) percent of the
illumination from the lights is directed to the street, ninety (90) percent on the street side of the
curb and ten (10) percent behind the curb. The spacing of the lights is based on the speed of the
vehicles and the natural ability of the motorists' eyes to adjust to light and dark areas.
The systems of streets within the District are established to provide access to each parcel in the
District. Streetlights provide a safer street environment for owners of the parcels served. If the
parcels were not subdivided to individual parcels within the District, there would be no need for
providing a system of streets with safety lighting for the owners of the individual parcels.
The City has determined that streetlights are also an integral part of the quality of life within the
City. This quality of life is a special benefit to some degree to all parcels, except government
owned parcels, including easements, and flood channel parcels. Therefore, the acquisition,
installation, operation and maintenance of streetlights are for the express, special benefit of the
parcels within the District.
General Benefits
eineirellll Illl Leine°tliiit l'tlN in I igh'flhng Zoiines
In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels within Streetlighting Zone B, there are
incidental general benefits conferred by streetlight improvements.
It is estimated that the general benefit portion of the benefit received from the lighting
improvements is less than one (1) percent of the total benefit. Nonetheless, the City has agreed
to ensure that no property is assessed in excess of the reasonable cost of the proportional special
benefit conferred on that property.
Annexation No. 2018-3 City of Santa Clarita Final Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2019/2020 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 10
W I LLDAN
The total benefits for lighting are thus a combination of the special benefits to the parcels within
the District and the general benefits to the public at large. The portion of the total streetlighting
maintenance costs which are associated with general benefits will not be assessed to the parcels
in the district but will be paid from other City Funds. These general benefits are more than
adequately offset by the substantial contribution from the ad valorem streetlighting revenues.
Streetlighting Apportionment Methodology
Egtjliivsllleint IlBeineflt IV.liniits (IE'JIMJ. 's)
In order to allocate benefit fairly between the parcels, an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU)
methodology is applied which equates different types of land uses to a single-family residential
parcel, thereby allowing a uniform method of assessment.
The EBU method uses the single-family home as the basic unit of apportionment with other land
uses being converted to EBU's as described below. All properties in the District will be assigned
benefit units and land use classifications per the County Assessor's roll. (Inaccuracies in the
County data will be reviewed on a case by case basis as they are brought to the City's attention.)
The following information can be used to determine the EBU count per parcel. Based on land use
information provided by the County Assessor, it has been determined that in the existing district,
approximately 96 percent of the parcels are in a residential category. Approximately 95 percent
are single-family homes or condominiums, with the remainders being duplexes, triplexes, or
apartments. In view of this and the benefits derived by the family unit, both at and in the proximity
of their property, a value of 1.00 has been assigned to the basic family unit or Equivalent Benefit
Unit (EBU), i.e. the single-family home or condominium. The existing district includes some
properties that may not actually have streetlights on their block, but which do receive a
neighborhood benefit from the lights in the area. These properties are also included in the District.
Therefore, a weighted value of 0.50 was given to "People Use" while "Intensity" and "Security
Benefit" were each rated at 0.25 to form the basic unit (1.00 EBU). Parcels in other land use
categories were assigned weighted values by comparison with this basic EBU.
In the remainder of the residential category, which is comprised of multiple rental type properties,
the value for Intensity would remain at 0.25, but the other two items would increase in proportion
to the number of family dwelling units on the parcel. For example, a duplex was assigned 0.25 for
Intensity, 1.00 for People Use and 0.50 for Security Benefit for a total of 1.75 EBU's. The owner
of such property would therefore pay 1.75 times as much for lighting as the owner of a single-
family unit. In consideration of the distance some units would be from the lighted roadway,
Security Benefits in the residential category would not be increased beyond a value of 1.00. Thus,
a 5 -unit apartment would be assigned 0.25 for Intensity, 2.50 for People Use and 1.00 for Security
Benefits for a total of 3.75 EBU's. As the number of apartments on a parcel increases, the service
charge units assigned for people would follow a declining scale.

Non -Residential Parcels
The non-residential lots or parcels are separated into 38 land use categories as determined by
the County Assessor. Equivalent Benefit Units (EBU's) are assigned on the basis of average
benefits for different groups of land uses, Groups A -K. Properties within the 10 land use categories
in Group K varied widely from the norm and therefore these lots or parcels were considered on
an individual basis. Each of the parcels or lots in these land use categories was identified on the
official lighting district maps and each streetlight or portion thereof in the immediate proximity of
the lots or parcels benefiting the lots or parcels was assigned a number of units as identified
below. The total number of EBU's so determined for that category would be distributed among
the lots or parcels in that category in proportion to the lot or parcel area as shown in the table
below. A minimum of 3.00 EBU's would be assessed to each lot or parcel to be compatible with
group D which contains many of the smaller business categories. Several large lots or parcels in
outlying areas within the existing lighting district have no lights in the immediate proximity and
therefore those lots or parcels would be assessed the minimum amount.
Since benefits have been related to property use and property users, no charge would be
assessed on vacant parcels within the district.

The Assessment Roll incorporates each parcel identified within the Annexation Territory
(Annexation 2018-3) and the balloted maximum assessment amount proposed based on the
Fiscal Year 2018/2019 maximum assessment rates. Each parcel listed on the Assessment Roll
is currently shown and illustrated on the County Assessor's Roll and the County Assessor's Parcel
Number Maps (APN maps). These records are, by reference, made part of this Report and shall
govern for all details concerning the description of the lots or parcels. All assessments presented
on the Assessment Roll are subject to change pending the outcome of the Ballot Proceedings
and/or as a result of parcel changes made by the County including parcel splits, parcel merges
or development changes that occur prior to the County generating tax bills for Fiscal Year
2019/2020.
