RECOMMENDATION
City Council conduct the public hearing, approve the Engineer's Report, and levy the annual
assessments for Landscape Maintenance District No 1, Zone Nos. -1 through 5, Tl through T10,
T17, T23,129, T30, T42A, T42B, and T46
BACKGROUND
The City Council is required by law to annually evaluate and establish rates for.Landscape
Maintenance Districts (LMD). As a result, on June 9, 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution
98-73, to set the public hearing for June 23, 1998, to establish rates in Fiscal Year 1998-99.
Under current conditions, the rates will remain at their 1997-98 level, and will not change in
Fiscal Year 1998-99.
The City maintains landscape improvements such as paseos, slopes, and medians within and
adjacent to residential areas. These LMD zones were established when the homes were built.
The landscaped areas were annexed into the Landscape Maintenance District in order to provide
ongoing maintenance. Without the districts in place, the maintenance of the landscaping would
be the responsibility of each individual landowner.
Upon transfer from the County, the City now has the responsibility for collecting assessments
and administering the maintenance for these zones.
After careful consideration of the maintenance needs of the districts, no increase in the
assessment rate is being proposed. However, the rate will be adjusted either up or down on an
FROVE1 Agenda Item: cXV
annual basis if necessary based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as provided in the formation
documents of the district. This is in accordance with Proposition 218, "The Right to Vote on
Taxes Act," and is approved by the City Attorney. Additionally, the homeowners associations
for Zones 23 and 46 have submitted letters to the City requesting that the CPI be incorporated
in the districts assessment rate.
Modifications to the Engineer's Report consist of additional maintenance for Zones Tl, T3
through T8 by including areas such as tree wells that are currently in the zone boundaries but
not currently maintained by the City.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for these expenditures have been budgeted in the landscape district Account Nos. 7501
8001 to 7523 8001, pending City Council adoption of the budget. These expenditures are also
detailed in the landscape district annual Engineer's Report.

INTRODUCTION
This Combined Engineer's Report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of
Article 4, Chapter 1, of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (hereinafter referred to
as the "Act"), which is Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.
This report considers each: zone as a distinct annexation to Santa Clarita Landscape
Maintenance District No. 1 (the "District").
After the formation of Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 in 1992 there
have been eight (8) subsequent individual annexations into the District. Zones 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, and 8 cover developments where the developer of the project was required by the
City to annex into the existing District as a condition of approval of their tract or parcel map.
As of July 1, 1998 Zones T10 and T30 will be accepted for maintenance. Zones 6, 7, and
8 have not been annexed into the District or accepted for maintenance by the City and are
not included in this report for Fiscal Year 1998/99. Zone 1 was annexed into District No.
1 but has not been accepted for maintenance and will continue to receive a credit on their
assessments.
During the 1996/97 and 1997/98 Fiscal Years, Zones T1 through T10, T17, T23, T23A, T2313,
T29, T30, T31, T42A, T428, and T45 were transferred into the City's Landscape Maintenance
District No. 1 from the County of Los Angeles. The County, through the Department of
Parks and Recreation, had previously administered these areas which had provided for the
maintenance and servicing of the landscape improvements located in their particular
development for the past several years. As in the previous annexations to the District,
these new zones from the County were also established by petition of the developer. As
of July 1, 1998, pursuant to the Act, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita is now the
legislative body for the District and may levy annual assessments and act as the governing
body for the operations and administration of the District.
June 9, 1998 City of Santa Clarita
-1- Landscape Maintenance Districts
i
In addition to the zones transferred to the City from the County, the City also assumed the
responsibility for Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 (LMD No. 2). This LMD collects
Ad Valorem assessments and is considered a separate district administered under a
different Act and is not addressed in this report.
For LMD No. 1 the Act provides for the levy of annual assessments after formation of an
assessment district for the continued maintenance and servicing of the district
improvements. The Act further allows various areas to be classified into separate zones
when the territory in the zone receives substantially the same degree of benefit from the
improvements. The costs associated with the installation, maintenance, and service of the
improvements may be assessed to those properties which are benefitted by the
installation, maintenance, and service.
This Engineer's Report gives the details on Zones 1 through 5, Ti through T10, T17, T23, T29,
T30, T31, T42A, .T42B, and T46. Zones T23A and T23B are addressed under a different
Engineer's Report that was presented to the City Council on April 28, 1998. These two
zones had an increase in their assessments which required that the increase be approved
by a vote of the property owners. The final report and tally of these votes will be at a public
hearing on the 23rd of June at the same time as the public hearing on all the remaining
zones.
RIGHT TO VOTE ON TAXES ACT (PROPOSITION 218)
On November 5, 1996, the electorate approved Proposition 218, Right to Vote on Taxes
Act, which added articles XIII C and XIII D to the California Constitution. The Proposition
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. However, the Proposition also exempts any assessments
imposed when the person(s) owning all of the property agree(s) to the assessment when
it was originally imposed if there is no increase from the previous year.
Each and every parcel included in these zones were originally part of a development that
was conditioned to install landscape improvements before the development could proceed.
In order to preserve the investment in the landscape improvements and satisfy the required
condition, Landscape Maintenance District No. 1, was formed. Thereafter, each developer
who was conditioned to enter into the District, agreed by petition to the formation and the
assessments being imposed on their property. Once the development was sold; all
subsequent owners of parcels were also made aware through title reports and Department
of Real Estate "White Paper" reports that the parcels were in the District and subject to the
June 9, 1998 City of Santa Clarita
-2- Landscape Maintenance Districts
assessments. Purchase of the parcel(s) was also an agreement by the new owners to be
subject to the assessments. Therefore, the assessments for Landscape Maintenance
District No. 1 including all annexations, are exempt from the provisions of Proposition 218.
However, if there are any subsequent increases, they will be subject to the procedures and
approval process of Section 4 of Article XIII D. This report is being provided to show no
proposed increase in the assessment to pay for costs incurred for the maintenance,
servicing, and operation of the District for Fiscal Year 1998/99.
The City may initiate proceedings for the continued maintenance and servicing of the
improvements by passing a resolution which orders an engineer to prepare and file a
detailed report generally describing any proposed new improvements or any substantial
changes in existing improvements.
The report prepared by the engineer must also include plans and specifications of the
improvements, an estimate of the costs of the improvements, including maintenance and
servicing of the improvements, a diagram, i.e., map of the assessment district showing the
boundary of the district and the parcels or lots which benefit, and an estimate of costs of
the improvements, maintenance, and servicing. Once the report is completed it is
presented to the City Council (the legislative body) for its review and approval as presented
or may be modified and approved.
After the report is approved the City adopts a resolution of intention which declares its
intent to levy and collect assessments, describes the improvements, including maintenance
and servicing, refers to the assessment district by its distinctive designation, refers to the
report for the details of the district, and sets a time and place for a public hearing on the
levy of the proposed assessments.
If authorized, assessments would be placed on the 1998/99 County Tax Roll and be
collected with the regular County property taxes. Reserve funds would be used to fund the
maintenance and service until assessment funds are distributed by the County Tax
Collector in December 1998.

III. ESTIMATED COSTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
The Act provides that the estimated costs of the improvements shall include the total cost
of the improvements for Fiscal Year 1998/99, including incidentals, which may include
reserves to operate the District until funds are transferred to the City from the County,
around December 10th of the next fiscal year.
The Act also provides that the amount of any surplus, deficit, or contribution be included
in the estimated cost of improvements. The net amount to be assessed on the lots or
parcels within each district is the total cost of installation, maintenance, and servicing with
adjustments either positive or negative for reserves, surpluses, deficits, and/or
contributions.
For Fiscal Year 1998/99, Zones T1 through T8 and T46 will have a reserve account
established to cover any major structural repairs to the paseo bridges located in each zone.
This will not incur any increase in the assessments in these zones and this account will be
kept separate from the annual maintenance account. Currently, annual maintenance of
the bridges is already included in the annual assessments.
In addition, it is anticipated that any surplus funds available from previous years as of June
30, 1998 will be used during Fiscal year 1998/99 for capital improvement projects in each
zone. These expenses are in addition to the projected annual maintenance budget as
shown in Appendix "C.
Commencing with Fiscal Year 1999/2000, the amount of the assessment for each District
is proposed to increase each year, based upon the Consumer Price Index, All Urban
Consumers, for the Los Angeles -Anaheim -Riverside Area ("CPP'), as determined by the
United States _Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor. The
Engineer shall compute the percentage difference between the CPI for March of each year
and the CPI for the previous March and shall then adjust the existing assessment by an
amount not to exceed such percentage for the following fiscal year. Should the Bureau of
Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the
Engineer shall use the revised index or a comparable system as approved by the City
Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 provides that assessments may be apportioned
upon all assessable lots or parcels of land within an assessment district in proportion to the
estimated benefits to be received by each lot or parcel from the improvements. 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. The Proposition provides that
only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from
the special benefits conferred on a parcel. A special benefit is a particular and distinct
benefit over and above general benefits conferred on the public at large, including real
property within the District. The general enhancement of property value does not
constitute a special benefit.
SPECIAL BENEFIT
Each and every parcel within each of the existing zones receives a particular and distinct
benefit from the improvements over and above any general benefits conferred by the
improvements.
First, all of the 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 landscaping, ornamental structures
and appurtenant facilities to serve the parcels. Therefore, each and every parcel within
each of the existing zones could not have been developed in the absence of the installation
and promised maintenance of these facilities.
In addition, the improvements continue to confer a particular and distinct special benefit
upon parcels within each zone because of the nature of the improvements. The proper
maintenance of landscaping and appurtenant facilities specially benefit parcels within each
zone by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation, attenuating noise from adjacent
streets and controlling dust for those properties in close proximity to the landscaping,
thereby enhancing the environmental quality of the parcels and making them more
desirable. Properly maintained landscaping also deters the erosion of slopes and thereby
minimizes the risk of instability and the potential destruction of property within each zone.
The spraying and treating of landscaping for disease reduces the likelihood of insect
infestation and other diseases spreading to landscaping located throughout the properties
within the zones. The proper maintenance of the landscaping, ornamental structures, and

-10- Landscape Maintenance Districts
appurtenant facilities reduces property -related crimes (especially vandalism) against
properties in the zone through the abatement of graffiti and the screening of properties
within the zone from arterial streets. Finally, the proper maintenance of landscaping and
ornamental structures improves the attractiveness of the properties within the zone and
provides a positive visual experience each and every time a trip is made to or from the
property. All of the above-mentioned contributes to a specific enhancement of the property
values of each of the parcels within the zone.
Since each and every parcel within each of the existing zones receives a particular and
distinct benefit from the improvements there is considered no general benefits conferred
by the improvements.
APPORTIONMENT
In single-family residential zones, all the parcels in the zone receive the same special
benefit from the improvements due to their similarity in size and use and their similar
proximity to the improvements therefore, each parcel is assessed an equal amount.
Similarly, in condominium zones, each unit in the zone receives an equal special benefit
from the improvements and, therefore, each unit is assessed an equal amount.
In the commercial zones the special benefit to each parcel is derived not only from the
benefits to the property described above, but also the enhancement of the property's value
through the enhanced ability to attract clients, employees, and customers to the parcel.
This benefit increases according to the size of the business and the number of people
using the parcel, which in turn, generally correlates to the area of the parcel. Therefore,
the estimated cost of the improvements in a commercial zone has been divided among the
parcels within the zone according to the area of each parcel in the zone.
Common areas, schools, Homeowners Association parcels, public utility parcels,
City/government/County property, and easements will not be assessed.
