AGENDA REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by: Dennis Luppens
DATE: October 28, 2008
SUBJECT: FORMATION OF DRAINAGE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT AREA
(DBAA) NO. 2008-2 (GOLDEN VALLEY COMMERCIAL)
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council conduct a public hearing, and open and review ballots. If no majority protest exists,
adopt resolution approving the Engineers Report for DBAA 2008-2, and authorize the annual
levy and collection of assessments within the District. If a majority protest exists, no action will
be required.
BACKGROUND
The DBAA is recommended to pay for maintenance services to specific storm drain
improvements that will be performed by the City's Environmental Services Division. A general
description of the improvement is provided below, and a detailed description is located in the
Assessment Engineer's Report.
The proposed services involve the maintenance and operation of Storm Drain Line "D" in Golden
Valley Ranch Commercial Tract No. 52414-01, and all lateral lines associated with Line "D,"
including the CDS units. Storm Drain Line "D" drains portions of the Golden Valley Ranch
Commercial development and is the only storm drain line that is not being accepted into the Los
Angeles County Flood Control District's system. Regular maintenance is required in order for
the storm drain line and lateral lines to function correctly within the design parameters.
All property owners included in the proposed DBAA were mailed assessment ballots after the
September 9, 2008, Council Meeting. The purpose of tonight's meeting is to conduct the public
hearing and tabulate the returned assessment ballots. Barring a majority protest, the City Council
will be asked to give final approval for the establishment of DBAA 2008-2 (Golden Valley
Ranch - Commerical).
Aduple" o ` e3D. 01" 9�
The Engineer's Report contains the proposed boundaries of the DBAA, identification of the
proposed facilities and services to be funded, the determination of the general and special benefit
received by property within the DBAA, and the methodology to apportion the annual
assessments. Golden Valley Ranch Commercial Tract No. 52414-01 is a commercial
development that has been conditioned to create the DBAA.
The Engineer's Report describes the annual adjustment to the maximum assessment, which
would be equal to 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).
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Do not establish DBAA 2008-2 (Golden Valley Ranch Commercial).
2. Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
No impact to the General Fund.

proposed to be assessed. The assessment ballots that were completed and received by the City
Clerk prior to the close of the public Hearing have been tabulated in accordance with the
procedures established by Assessment Law and this City Council, and the results of such

The assessments for the District contained in the Assessment Engineer's Report for Fiscal
Year 2008/09 are hereby confirmed. Subsequent annual assessments in amounts not to exceed
the maximum annual assessment of the estimated costs of the maintenance of all of the
improvements to ultimately be maintained upon the completion and acceptance thereof, as set

PART E
Method of Assessment
The following is the assessment methodology for DBAA No. 2008-2 (Golden Valley Ranch
Commercial):
Background
The Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 (the Act) provides that assessments may be apportioned upon all
assessable lots or parcels of land within an assessment district in proportion to the estimated special
' 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 Districts. The general enhancement of property
' value does not constitute a special benefit.
Special Benefit
There are two (2) categories of special benefits identified for DBAA 2008-2:
1. The benefit related to the satisfaction of a Condition of Development, and
2. The benefit related to the functionality of the drainage system.
' 1. Satisfaction of Conditions of Development
The drainage improvements for the commercial portion of the Golden Valley Ranch development
were installed by the developers, subdividers of the land. A condition of approval of the
commercial development was the guarantee of on-going maintenance for the drainage system
(Condition of Approval EN53). Most of the drainage improvements are acceptable to the Los
Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) and will be accepted into the County system
for maintenance, and Lots 1 through 14 of Tract No. 52414-01 have satisfied this condition.
Storm Drain Line "D" is not acceptable to LACFCD and will not be accepted into their system.
Therefore, for Lots 14, 15 and 16 to satisfy Condition of Approval EN53, the continued
maintenance of Storm Drain Line "D" must be guaranteed through the establishment of a
Drainage Benefit Assessment Area (DBAA) or some other form of guaranteed financing. Should
' the guaranteed maintenance not occur, the Condition of Approval for the development of these
lots would not be satisfied and the lots would not be able to have Building Permits finalized or
Certificates of Occupancy issued. Thus, the ability to develop these lots to construct a building or
structure on the property is a particular and distinct special benefit conferred only to Lots 15, 16
and 17.
' Therefore, due to the satisfaction of Condition EN53, Lots 15, 16 and 17 are uniquely benefited
by, and receive a direct advantage from, the guaranteed funding of maintenance for Storm Drain
Line "D" improvements and are conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above
general benefits.

City of Santa Clarita October 28, 2008
DBAA No. 2008-2 (Golden Valley Ranch Commercial) Page 8
2. Functionality of the Drainage System
The southerly portion of the Golden Valley Ranch Commercial development is comprised of Lots
9 through 17 and is identified as the South Plaza area. These lots all function as a cohesive
shopping plaza and are connected to each other through driving lanes and parking lots. Storm
Drain Line "D" serves the area drains in the southerly quadrant of this plaza, including a portion
of the truck delivery path of travel for this entire plaza.
Because of this interconnectivity between portions of the South Plaza area, the proper
maintenance and functioning of Storm Drain Line "D" provides a particular and distinct special
benefit to all the properties in the South Plaza by allowing traffic to flow unimpeded by poor
drainange.
Therefore, Lots 9 through 17 are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, the
' proper functioning and maintenance of Storm Drain Line "D" improvements and are conferred a
particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits.
General Benefit
The drainage facilities are located within and/or immediately adjacent to properties within the District
and were installed and are maintained particularly and solely to serve, and for the benefit of, the
properties within the District. Any benefit received by properties outside of the District is inadvertent
and unintentional. Therefore, any general benefits associated with the drainage facilities of the
District are merely incidental, negligible and non -quantifiable.
Apportionment
The estimated costs are apportioned equally to each of the two categories of special benefit.
All parcels receive the same degree of special benefit within each benefit category due to the similar
(commercial) use of each parcel. Therefore, each parcel is assessed based on the proportionate gross
acreage of each Assessor's parcel as a share of the total acres within each benefit category.
