City Council conduct the public hearing and receive assessment ballot results. If ballot totals have a majority of "yes" votes, adopt the resolution, approve the Engineer's Report, order the annexation of territory into Landscape Maintenance District No. 1, and order the levy and collection of assessments. If ballot totals have a majority of "no" votes, no action is required. 2. City Council approve appropriations in account no. 2901, as indicated on Exhibit A-3. BACKGROUND The developer is required to install parkway landscaping and must provide for the long-term maintenance of the landscaping as a requirement of the development. The developer requested to include the maintenance of the parkway and slope landscaping in a landscape maintenance districtand proposed to include 14 properties outside the boundaries of the development into the district. The landscaping provides a beautification corridor throughout the Redview/Ruether commercial area. This landscape enhancement also provides an aesthetic benefit to the adjacent property owners. Following the May 28, 2002 Council Meeting initiating this annexation, assessment ballots were mailed to all property owners within the proposed annexation. At this public hearing all ballots received will be tabulated and the results announced. The ballot tabulation is weighted, based on the dollar amount of the assessment and the number of acres. The cost is proposed to be $26.54 per -acre per -month -for, Fiscal Year 2002/2003 ($53.07 per -acre per -month at full build out) for Centre Pointe Business Park parcels, and $5.30 per -acre per -month for Fiscal Year 2002/2003 ($10.61 per -acre per -month at full build out) for adjacent property owners. If the weighted majority vote yes, the assessment passes. If the majority vote "no" and elect to not participate, the maintenance cannot be performed by the landscape district, and the proposed landscaping will not be annexed. J Agenda Item: ANNEXATION OF TRACT MAP 42670 August 27, 2002 — Page 2 All owners were advised of a public meeting held on June 27, 2002, to answer any questions and provide an opportunity for property owners to provide input on the proposed district. Only one response was received --a mailed -in, written comment that will be included with the public comments for this public hearing. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1. Do not annex the territory or form the zones. 2. Other direction as determined by City Council. FISCAL IMPACT Annexation of this development into Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 as Zone 1B will provide funding for the annual maintenance of landscaping located throughout the District. The estimated revenues to be collected from all parcels within the annexation, for expenditures related to annual maintenance of District landscape improvements, will be $636.89 annually per EDU for the lots within Tract Map 42670 (Centre Pointe Business Park) and for the adjacent properties,for a total assessment of $143,383. The level of Benefit and Equivalent Unit cost for the adjacent properties is less than the lots within Parcel Map 42670. The LMD's are revenue neutral, and the funds collected will match the expenses. The total overall budget for this zone is $148,383 and is not currently included in the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2002/03. The initial budget for the landscaping that is currently installed will be half of the, total budget.

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 one development into the City Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 as Zone 1B (hereinafter referred to as the Annexation). 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 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 annexation proceedings will be limited to the territory proposed to be annexed into an existing district. This report will be limited to those properties within Tract Map 42670 (Centre Pointe Business Park) and Adjacent Properties to be included in Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 as Zone 1B, as shown on Appendix `B." 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 August 27, 2002 1 City of Santa Clarita 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 these annexations. The City may initiate proceedings for the formation of a district or annexation of territory for continued maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements by passing a resolution. This Resolution of Intention generally describes the territory to be formed or annexed into a 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., map of the assessment district showing the boundary of the district and 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 by their distinctive designation, refers to the report for the details of the district, and sets a time for a public hearing on the levy of the proposed assessment. The Right to vote on Taxes Act, Articles XIII C and XIII D, requires that the City Council conduct a public hearing not less than forty-five days after mailing a notice of the proposed assessments to record owners of each parcel which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessments will be imposed. However, the California Civil Code, Section 3513, allows anyone to waive the advantage of a law intended solely for their benefit. The forty-five day notice period before the public hearing is not established for public reason but is solely for the advantage of the parcels having a special benefit conferred upon them and which an assessment will be imposed. At the public hearing, the City will count the Assessment Ballots returned and consider the public testimony in favor and/or opposing the annexation and assessment. At 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 annexation. Assessments, if authorized, would be placed on the Fiscal Year 2003/2004 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 2004. August 27, 2002 2 City of Santa Clarita H. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The proposed improvements for the Annexation into the District 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 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 the Annexation to the 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 2003/2004, including incidentals, which may include reserves to operate the District 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 the Annexation is the total cost of installation, maintenance and servicing with adjustments either positive or negative for reserves, surpluses, deficits and/or contributions. Estimated costs of improvements for the District, including the proposed Annexation, are voluminous and are not bound in this report but by this reference are incorporated and made a part of this report. The estimated costs are on file at the City where they are available for public inspection.

ASSESSMENT All assessed lots or parcels of real property within the 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 the Annexation for Fiscal Year 2003/2004, shows the fiscal year 2003/2004 assessment upon each lot and parcel within the Annexation, and describes each assessable lot or parcel of land within the 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 2003/2004, the amount of the assessments for the Annexation 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 a Landscape Maintenance District the landscape improvements are installed by the developers, subdividers of the land, and the continued maintenance is guaranteed through the establishment of a landscape maintenance district. If the installation of the August 27, 2002 5 City of Santa Clarita 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 or annexation receives a special and distinct benefit from the improvements and to the same degree. In addition, the improvements continue to confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon parcels within the district or 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 annexation. The proper maintenance of the landscaping, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities reduces property -related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the annexation. The median landscaping located in the District referred to in this report and the proposed Annexation 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 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 Annexation. GENERAL BENEFIT In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels within the proposed Annexation, there are incidental general benefits conferred by the proposed improvements. The proper maintenance of landscaping and appurtenant facilities within the proposed Annexation will not only control dust from blowing onto properties within the Annexation, but will also control dust from blowing onto properties outside of the Annexation. The spraying and treating of landscaping within the Annexation for disease reduces the likelihood of insect infestation and other diseases spreading to landscaping located throughout other properties within the City. Finally, the proper maintenance of landscaping and ornamental structures provides a positive visual experience to persons passing by the 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 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. August 27, 2002 6 City of Santa Clarita Because the landscaping is located immediately adjacent to properties within the proposed Annexation, and is maintained solely for the benefit of the properties within the proposed Annexation, any benefit received by properties outside of the proposed 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 the proposed Annexation, all the parcels in the Centre Pointe Business Park 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 based on their land use. The properties that are not part of the Centre Pointe Business Park development, referred to as "Adjacent Properties" are proposed to receive a reduced assessment (20% the rate of the Centre Pointe Business Park). Annexation of this development into Santa Clarita Landscape District No. 1 as Zone 1B will provide funding for the annual maintenance of landscaping located throughout the District. The estimated revenues collected from all parcels within the annexation for expenditures for annual maintenance of District improvements will be $636.89 per acre for the lots within Tract Map 42670 (Centre Pointe Business Park) and $127.38 per acre for the Adjacent Properties.
