AGENDA REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING City Manager ApZ.N#ancDelafne
Item to be presented b
DATE: January 11, 2000
SUBJECT: ANNEXATION OF TRACT 52673, PARCEL MAP 25649 AND
PARCEL MAP 20838 INTO SANTA CLARITA LANDSCAPE
MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the resolutions approving the Engineer's
Report, ordering the annexation of territory into Landscape Maintenance District No. TI and
the annexation of territory to the Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 and
the formation of Zone No. 12, and authorizing the levy and collection of assessments.
BACKGROUND
The annexation of developments into landscape maintenance districts is a procedural
matter. The developers are required to annex their developments into the districts as a
condition of development to provide for beautification and landscape maintenance.
As a condition of approval of Tract No. 52673 and Parcel Map 25649 the developers are
required to enter into a landscape maintenance district to maintain the landscaping in
medians in their developments. These projects fall within the limits of the Valencia
areawide landscape district. Since this tract and parcel map directly benefit from the
improvements in these medians, staff is proposing to annex these developments into the
City Areawide Landscape Maintenance District.
As a condition of approval of Parcel Map 20838 the developers are required to enter into a
landscape maintenance district to help maintain the landscaping in around their
developments. Since this parcel map directly benefits from the improvements, staff is
proposing to annex the territory to Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
and form a separate maintenance zone therein to cover this development.
By signing the individual petitions, the Developers have waived the noticing requirements
and right to majority protest at the public hearing and have submitted assessment ballots in
favor of the formation and annexation. It is estimated that the improvements will be
accepted after July 1, 2000. The funds for maintenance costs will be collected on the Fiscal
Year 2000/2001 tax roll. The proposed resolution approves the annexation of Tract No. 52673

and Parcel Map No. 25649 into Landscape Maintenance District No. Tl as Zone No. TIC and
the annexation of Parcel Map 20838 into the Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District
No. 1 and formation as Zone No. 12. The total annual assessment for the annexation TIC is
$48.25 per parcel per year for each of the proposed lots. The total annual assessment for
Zone No. 12 is $2,735 per parcel per year for each of the proposed six commercial lots. This
formation and annexation is in compliance with Proposition 218.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Do not annex territory or form District.
Other direction as determined by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Annexation TIC will provide additional funding for the maintenance of median landscaping.
The estimated revenues and expenditures collected from the annexation for annual
maintenance will be $386. These revenues and expenditures will be included in the
preparation of the Fiscal Year 2000/2001 budget.
Formation of LMD Zone No. 12 will provide funding for the maintenance of landscaping
within their development. The estimated revenues and expenditures collected from the
annexation for annual maintenance will be $16,410. These revenues and expenditures will
be included in the preparation of the Fiscal Year 2000/2001 budget.

I. INTRODUCTION
This 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 the
annexation of territory to be known as TI -C, consisting of Tract No, 52673 and Parcel Map
No. 25649 into the existing Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District No. T1 Area
Wide Medians, and the formation of Landscape Maintenance District No. 12 consisting of
Parcel Map No. 20838.
Landscape Maintenance District No. T1 provides for the maintenance and servicing of the
landscape improvements located in medians throughout the Valencia area, and Landscape
Maintenance District No. 12 will provide for the maintenance of landscaping improvements
within Parcel Map 20838. Pursuant to the Act, the City Council is the legislative body for
the District and may form new districts or annex territory and levy annual assessments
acting as the governing body for the operations and administration of the Districts.
In addition, the Act provides for the levy of annual assessments after annexation or
formation of an assessment district for the continued maintenance and servicing of the
district improvements. The Act further allows various areas to be annexed into an existing
district when the territory in the annexation 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 benefited
by the installation, maintenance and service.
Section 22608 of the Streets and Highways Code further states that formation and
annexation proceedings will be limited to the territory proposed to be formed into a new
district or annexed into an existing district. This report will be limited to those properties
in the vicinity of Decoro Road and Copper Hill Drive west of Fransiquito Creek, and Soledad
Canyon Road and Gladding Way as shown on Exhibit "A-1."
January 11, 2000 1 City of Santa Clarita
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.
Each property owner who owns parcels subject to the assessment will be sent an
Assessment Ballot requesting their approval to annex into the district and approve the
assessments being imposed. Subsequent owners of parcels would be made aware through
title reports and Department of Real Estate "White Paper" reports that the parcels are in
the district and subject to the assessments. Purchase of the parcel(s) is also an agreement
by the new owners to be subject to the assessments. However, subsequent increases, if
any, will be subject to the procedures and approval process of Section 4 of Article XIII D.
This report is being provided to show that there will be no proposed increase in the
assessments to pay for costs incurred for maintenance, servicing and operation of the
existing District. However, the assessments will be proposed for the first time to those
parcels proposed to be included in this annexation.
The City may initiate proceedings for the formation of a new district or the annexation of
territory for continued maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements by passing
a Resolution of Intention. This Resolution of Intention generally describes the territory to
be annexed into the district and any proposed new improvements or any substantial
changes in existing improvements and orders an engineer to prepare and file a detailed
report.
This report, prepared by the engineer, details only the proposed district or annexation to
the existing district and must include; plans and specifications of the improvements; an
estimate of the costs of the improvements, including maintenance and servicing; a
diagram, i.e., map of the assessment district showing the boundary of the district or
annexation; 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 the Resolution of Intention which declares its
intent to form or to annex territory and levy and collect assessments, describes the
improvements, including maintenance and servicing, refers to the assessment district or
annexation by its distinctive designation, refers to the report for the details of the
annexation or district, and sets a time for a public hearing on the levy of the proposed
assessment.
Following the initial Council Meeting the City will send an Assessment Ballot with which
the property owners can vote on the proposed district or annexation and assessment.
At the public hearing the City will count the Assessment Ballots returned and consider the
public testimony in favor and/or opposing the district or annexation and assessment. At
January 11, 2000 2 City of Santa Clarita
that time, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming and levying the assessments
to fund the maintenance and servicing of the improvements or abandon the proposed
district or annexation.
Assessments, if authorized, would be placed on the 2000/2001 County Tax Roll and would
be collected with the regular County property taxes. Reserve funds in the current district
would be used to fund the maintenance and service until assessment funds are distributed
by the County Tax Collector in December of 2000.
H. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The proposed improvements for District No. 12 and Annexation No. T1 -C into Landscape
Maintenance District No. T1 include, but are not limited to, and may be generally
described as follows:
The operation, maintenance and servicing of ornamental structures, landscaping, including
trees, shrubs, grass, and other ornamental vegetation, and appurtenant facilities, including
irrigation systems and drainage devices located in public places within the boundaries of
the Landscape Maintenance District. Maintenance means the furnishing of services and
materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation and servicing of the
ornamental structures, landscaping and appurtenant facilities, including repair, removal,
or replacement of all or part of any of the ornamental structures, landscaping or
appurtenant facilities; providing for the life, growth, health and beauty of the landscaping,
including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, and treating for disease or
injury; the removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris other solid waste; and pest control.
Servicing means the furnishing of electricity for the operation of any appurtenant facilities,
and water for the irrigation and control of the landscaping and the maintenance of any of
the ornamental structures, landscaping and appurtenant facilities.
Plans and Specifications for the improvements for Annexation No. TI -C and District No. 12
to the Landscape Maintenance District are voluminous and are not bound in this report
but by this reference are incorporated and made a part of this report. The Plans and
Specifications are on file at the City.
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 2000/2001, including incidentals, which may include
reserves to operate the District and Annexation until funds are transferred to the City
from the County around December 10 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 and annexation is the total cost of installation, maintenance and
servicing with adjustments either positive or negative for reserves, surpluses, deficits
and/or contributions.

IV. ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM
The boundary map/diagrams included herein as Exhibit "A-1" and Exhibit "A-2" are part of
this report.
V. ASSESSMENT
All assessed lots or parcels of real property within the district or annexation are listed on
the Assessment Roll which is on file at the City and is hereby made a part of this report by
reference. The assessment roll states the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands
within Annexation No. TI -C and District No. 12 for Fiscal Year 2000/2001, shows the
Fiscal Year 2000/2001 assessment upon each lot and parcel within the district or
annexation, and describes each assessable lot or parcel of land within the district or
annexation. These lots and parcels are more particularly described in the County
Assessment Roll, which is on file in the office of the Los Angeles County Assessor and by
reference is made a part of this report as "Appendix A."
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2000/2001, the amount of the assessments for Annexation
No. T1 -C or District No. 12 will include a yearly increase, based upon the Consumer Price
Index, All Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles -Anaheim -Riverside Area ("CPI"), 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.
VI. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
BACKGROUND
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 or annexation 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
In the existing and proposed District the landscape improvements were installed by the
January 11, 2000 8 City of Santa Clarita
through the establishment of a Landscape Maintenance District. If the installation of the
improvements and the guaranteed maintenance did not occur, the lots would not have been
established and could not have been sold to any distinct and separate owner. The
establishment of each distinct and separate lot is a special benefit which permits the
construction of a building or structure on the property and the ownership and sale of the
distinct lot in perpetuity.
All the lots are established at the same time once the conditions regarding the
improvements and the continued maintenance are guaranteed. As a result, each lot within
the district receives a special and distinct benefit from the improvements and to the same
degree.
The area outside of and surrounding the residential structures are landscaped medians
which are owned in common by all the owners of the property. These common areas have
landscaping improvements that are maintained by the district. Since these improvements
are for the benefit of the owners and they also benefit from the maintenance of these
improvements, only the owners of property within the district are assessed for this benefit
and its costs.
In addition, the improvements continue to confer a particular and distinct special benefit
upon parcels within the District and Annexation because of the nature of the
improvements. The proper maintenance of landscaping and appurtenant facilities
specially benefit parcels within the annexation by moderating temperatures, and providing
oxygenation thereby enhancing the environmental quality of the parcels and making them
more desirable. 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 District and Annexation. The proper maintenance of the
landscaping, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities reduces property -related
crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District and Annexation. The
median landscaping located in Landscape Maintenance District No. T1 and the proposed
Annexation No. TI -C and in the proposed District No. 12 helps to visually join the various
segments of the community, which enhance property. Finally, the proper maintenance of
landscaping and ornamental structures improves the attractiveness of the properties
within the District and Annexation 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 District
and Annexation.
GENERAL BENEFIT
In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels within the proposed District and
Annexation, there are incidental general benefits conferred by the proposed improvements.
The proper maintenance of landscaping and appurtenant facilities will not only control
dust from blowing onto properties within the annexation, but will also control dust from
blowing onto properties outside of the district and annexation. The spraying and treating
of landscaping within the district and annexation for disease reduces the likelihood of
insect infestation and other diseases spreading to landscaping located throughout other
January 11, 2000 9 City of Santa Clarita
properties within the City. Finally, the proper maintenance of landscaping and
ornamental structures provides a positive visual experience to persons passing by the
district and annexation. All of the above-mentioned constitutes incidental general benefits
conferred by the improvements.
The total benefits are thus a combination of the special benefits to the parcels within the
district and annexation and the general benefits to the public at large and to adjacent
property owners. The portion of the total landscape 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.
Because the landscaping is located immediately adjacent to properties within the proposed
district and annexation, and is maintained solely for the benefit of the properties within
the proposed district and annexation, any benefit received by properties outside of the
proposed district and annexation is merely incidental. It is estimated that the general
benefit portion of the benefit received from the improvements for any annexation 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.
APPORTIONMENT
In this district and annexation, all the parcels in the district and annexation receive the
same special benefit from the improvements due to their use and their similar proximity to
the improvements. Therefore, each parcel is assessed an equal amount.
For Annexation T -IC there are 14 parcels. The assessment rate will be the per unit rate.
For District No. 12 there are 6 parcels. The Assessment rate will be $2,735 per parcel.
