Streetlight Maintenance District No.1
Annexation No. 2001-1-20 (North Valencia 2) Page 2
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
Annexation No. 2001-L20, Tract Nos. 44831-01, 44831-02, 44831-03, 52111 and 52667, into the existing
Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1.
Pursuant to the Act, the City Council is the legislative body for the District and may annex territory and
levy annual assessments acting as the governing body for the operations and administration of the
District.
In addition, the Act provides for the levy of annual assessments after annexation into 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 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 annexation proceedings will be
limited to the territory proposed to be annexed into an existing district. This report will be limited to
those properties associated with North Valencia 2 as shown on the Diagram in Appendix "A".
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 XHIC and XHID 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.
As written, Proposition 218 exempts assessments for street purposes. The maintenance services in
Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 are for streetlights. They are an integral part of the entire street,
the same as curb gutters, pavement, signage and striping. Taken as a group, they are the elements that
provide a safe route for motorists.
Streetlights are installed to make streets safer. 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.
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 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 XIIID.

Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1
Annexation No. 2001-1-20 (North Valencia 2) Pape 3
The City may initiate proceedings for the annexation of territory for continued maintenance and
servicing of streetlight improvements by passing a resolution. 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 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., a map of the assessment district
showing the boundary of the 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
annex territory and levy and collect assessments, describes the improvements, including
maintenance and servicing, refers to the assessment district and annexation by its distinctive
designation, refers to the report for the details of the district and annexation, and sets a time and
place 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 annexation and assessment.
At the public hearing, the City will count the Assessment Ballots returned (weighted by the proposed
assessment amounts) and consider the public testimony in favor of and/or opposing the annexation
and assessment. At that time, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the annexation
and levying the assessments to fund the maintenance and servicing of the improvements or abandon
the proposed annexation.
Assessments, if authorized, would be placed on the 2001-02 County Tax Roll in the ensuing fiscal
year and would be collected with the regular County property taxes.

Annexation No. 2001-1-20 (North Valencia 2) Page 9
PART E
Method of Assessment
The following is the approved assessment methodology for the Santa Clarita Street Light
Maintenance District No. 1:
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 general benefits
conferred on the public at large, including real properly within the district or annexation. The
general enhancement of property value does not constitute a special benefit.
Special Benefit
The City, in determining the necessity of annexing territory into the existing streetlight maintenance
district, took into account the cost of providing services to the residents, businesses and properties
located within the annexation. Each and every parcel within the annexation receives a particular and
distinct benefit from the improvements over and above general benefits conferred by the
improvements.
In the existing District, the streetlight improvements were installed by the developers, subdividers of
the land, and the continued maintenance was guaranteed through the establishment of a Streetlight
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.
In the annexation, all the lots and parcels need to satisfy the condition of development requiring
ongoing operation and maintenance of the streetlights. As a result, each lot within the annexation
receives a special and distinct benefit from the improvements.
The improvements also continue to confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon parcels
within the annexation because of the nature of the improvements. The proper maintenance of the
streetlighting and appurtenant facilities specially benefit parcels within the annexation. The proper
maintenance of the streetlighting, and appurtenant facilities reduces property -related crimes
(especially vandalism) against properties in the annexation. The streetlighting located in Streetlight
Maintenance District No. 1 and the proposed Annexation No. 2001-L20 helps to visually join the
various segments of the community, which enhance property. All of the above-mentioned
contributes to a specific enhancement of the property values of each of the parcels within the
annexation.
\\LA2\DATA\santa clarita\SMD\Annexationl\Reports\annex Ldoc
City of Santa Clarita June 15, 2001
Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1
Annexation No. 2001-L20 (North Valencia 2) Page 10
In addition, the benefit provided by streetlighting consists of safety for pedestrians and motorists
involved with the property in the Annexation during the nighttime hours. This is a distinct and
special benefit to all developed parcels in the annexation.
Streetlighting 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 installed on and are for street purpoles and are maintained and serviced to allow the
street to perform to the standards it was designed. Assessments for the maintenance and servicing of
streets may include streetlights.
Streetlights are considered an integral part of the entire street, the same as curb gutters, pavement,
signage and striping. Taken as a group, they are the elements that provide a safe route for motorists
and pedestrians. Streetlights are installed to make streets safer.
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 system of streets adjacent to the annexation is established to provide access to each parcel in the
annexation. Streetlights provide a safer street environment for owners of the parcels served. If the
parcels were not subdivided to provide individual parcels to owners within the annexation, there
would be no need for a system of streets with safety lighting.
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 easements, open
space and flood channel parcels and the like that receive no benefits from street lighting.
General Benefit
In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels within the proposed annexation, there may
be incidental general benefits conferred by the proposed improvements from the lighting of the
roadway. These general benefits are deemed to be incidental in nature.
The installation and maintenance of the streetlights is for the express, special benefit of the parcels
within the annexation and since each and every parcel within the annexation receives a particular
and distinct benefit from the improvements, there is considered no measurable general benefits
conferred by the improvements to the public at large.

Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1
Annexation No. 2001-L20 (North Valencia 2) Page 11
Apportionment
The Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 indicates that lighting assessments may be apportioned by
any formula or method which fairly distributes costs among all lots or parcels within the
district/annexation in proportion to the estimated benefits received.
Annexation No.2001-1,20 to the Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 will adopt the current rate
schedule as used by the existing district. The proposed assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2001-02 is
proposed to be $50.00 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). Commencing with Fiscal Year 2002-03,
the amount of the assessments for Annexation No. 2001-1,20 will include a yearly increase, based
upon the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles -Riverside -Orange
County 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 approval by the City Council for
determining fluctuations in the cost of living.
The primary benefits of streetlighting are for convenience, safety, and protection of people and to a
lesser extent the security or protection or property, property improvements, and goods. The intensity
or degree of illumination provided can have a bearing on both.
The following information can be used to determine the unit count per parcel.
Based on land use information provided by the County Assessor, it has been determined that in the
existing district over 93 percent of the parcels are in a residential category. Approximately 83
percent are singe -family homes or condominiums and the remainder are 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 one has been assigned to the basic family unit or Equivalent Dwelling
Unit (EDU), i.e. the single-family home or condominium. The existing district includes some
properties that may not actually have streetlights in their block but which do receive a neighborhood
benefit from the lights in the area. These properties were also included in the district. Therefore a
value of 1/2 was given to "People Use" while "Intensity" and "Security Benefit" were each rated at
1/4 to form the basic unit. Parcels in other land use categories were then rated by comparison with
the basic EDU.
In the remainder of the residential category, which is comprised of multiple rental type properties,
the value for Intensity would remain at''/< 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 1/4 for Intensity,
I for People Use and 1/2 for Security Benefit for a total of 1-3/4 EDU's. The owner of such
property would therefore pay 1-3/4 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 one. Thus, a five -unit apartment
would be assigned 1/4 for Intensity, 2-1/2 for People Use and one for Security Benefits for a total of
3-3/4 EDU's. As the number of apartments on a parcel increases, the service charge units assigned

for people would follow a declining scale. Reference is made to the annual Engineer's Report, on
file with the City, for the Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1, Fiscal Year 2000-01
for details on the land use categories and benefit units assigned to them.
Table 1 summarizes the Residential EDU Calculation.
Table 1- Residential EDU Calculations
_
The non-residential lots or parcels are separated into 38 land use categories as determined by the
County Assessor. Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU'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 EDU'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 three
EDU'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 lots or parcels within the district.

The non-residential lots or parcels are separated into 38 land use categories as determined by the
County Assessor. Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU'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 EDU'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 three
EDU'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 lots or parcels within the district.
Table 2 summarizes the Non -Residential EDU calculation:
