City of Santa Clanta Combined Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2010/ 11 Landscape Maintenance Districts
Introduction
The City of Santa Clarita ("City') annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain
the improvements within City initiated Landscape Maintenance District Nos. 1, and County initiated
District Tl, (collectively referred to as the "Districts'). The Districts were formed and annual
assessments are established pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division
15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the "Act') and are in compliance with Article
)WID of the California Constitution (Proposition 216). This Combined Engineer's Report
("Report') includes all Zones and Annexations that have been approved by the Council through July
14, 2009.
All other Zones or Annexations within District Nos. 1, and Tl and provide for the maintenance of
local landscaping located within the right of ways and easements of the respective district areas.
District No. T1A is an ad valorem fund created by the County of Los Angeles under the
Improvement Act of 1911, prior to the transfer of jurisdiction to the City. Ad valorem revenue is
collected directly from property taxes and is separate from the Special Assessment Districts. Ad
Valorem revenue requires no Council action, but is hereby referenced in this report as a part of the
landscape maintenance program within the City.
In addition to the City initiated Districts, the responsibility for several County maintained Landscape
Maintenance Zones was transferred to the City's jurisdiction beginning in 1997. The County, through
the Department of Parks and Recreation, had previously administered these Zones which had
provided for the maintenance and servicing of the landscape improvements located in medians and •
common areas throughout the City. Pursuant to the Act, the City Council is the legislative body for
the Districts and Zones and may levy annual assessments acting as the governing body for the
operations and administration of the Districts.
This Report describes the Districts, any annexation zones or changes to the Districts and the
proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2010-11. The proposed assessments are based on the historical
and estimated costs to maintain the improvements that provide direct and special benefits to
properties within the Districts. The costs of the improvements and the annual levy include all
expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for
only those improvements provided and for which the parcel receives special benefits.
Following consideration of all public comments and written protests at a noticed public hearing and
review of the Report, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report
as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the
Council may order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2010-11 pursuant to the
Act Once the levy is approved, the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor -
Controller and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel for Fiscal Year 2010-11.

Effects of Proposition 218
Combined Engineers Report
dreape Maintenance Districts
On November 5 1996, the electorate approved Proposition 218, Right to Vote on Taxes Act, which
added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. The Article XIIID 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.
The provisions of Proposition 218 can be summarized in four general areas:
1. Strengthens the general and special tax provisions of Propositions 13 and 62;
2. Extends the initiative process to all local taxes, assessments, fees and charges;
3. Adds substantive and procedural requirements to assessments; and
4. Adds substantive and procedural requirements to property -related fees and charges.
Prior to Proposition 218, property owners petitioned Zones that were added to the Districts.
Subsequent to Proposition 218, all property owners were balloted for inclusion into the Districts in
order to be in compliance with Proposition 218. This Report does not propose to increase the
assessments for the Districts, including any Zones or Annexations, above the approved annual
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all Urban Consumers, Los Angeles — Orange — Riverside Counties,
CA. Increases, if any, above this amount were addressed in separate reports approved at prior
Council meetings. Any subsequent increases in the assessments, as defined by Government Code
Sections 53750-53754 (Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act), will be subject to the
procedures and approval process of Section 4 of Article XIIID.

Combined Engineer's Report
Iscane Maintenance Districts
nment of Assessment
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of
1972, permits the establishment of Maintenance Districts by cities for the purpose of providing
certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of street
lights, traffic signals and landscaping facilities.
Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments be
levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within a Maintenance District may be
apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount
among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
The Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual Maintenance District if
"by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas
will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22573). Thus, the 1972 Act
requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
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. Proposition 218 provides that only
special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special
benefits.
Reason for the Assessment
The assessment is proposed to be levied to defray the costs of the installation, maintenance and
servicing of landscaping improvements, as previously defined herein in Part A of this Report.
Special Benefit Analysis
In determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of
the parcel to the public improvements detailed in Part A above, and the capital, maintenance and
operating costs of said public improvements, was considered and analyzed. Due to the close
proximity of the parcels to the improvements detailed in Part A above, it has been demonstrated
and determined the parcels are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are
conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by, said public
improvements in a way that is particular and distinct from its effect on other parcels and that real
property in general and the public at large do not share.

Trees, landscaping, hardscaping, ornamental structures and appurtenant facilities, if well
maintained, confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real property within each Zone of
Benefit by providing beautification, shade and positive enhancement of the community character,
attractiveness and desirability of the surroundings. In addition, all of the aforementioned
contributes to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the
property value of each parcel within each Zone of Benefit which confers a particular and distinct
special benefit upon the real property within each Zone of Benefit.
In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V. Hubbard in 1937, it is stated:
"... there is no lack of opinion, based on general principals and experience and
common sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property, even though the amount
cannot be determined exactly.... Indeed, in most cases where public money has been
spent for parkways the assumption has been definitely made that the proposed
parkway will show a provable financial profit to the City. It has been believed that the
establishment of parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City, or in
parts of the City,—"
It should be noted that the definition of "parkways" above may include tate roadway as well as the
landscaping alongside the roadway.
Landscaped Medians in the Maior Thomtra ares. The landscape improvements in the
medians along the major thoroughfares confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real
property witbia the City by providing beautification, and positive enhancement of the community
character, attractiveness and desirability of the City. In addition, all of the aforementioned
contributes to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the
property value of each parcel within the City which confers a particular and distinct special benefit
upon the real property within the City. These major thoroughfares are the entryways into the City
and as such provide beautification to the entire City; therefore, all parcels within the City are
conferred a special benefit from the landscaped medians in the major thoroughfares. Landscaping
in the medians along the major thoroughfares provides only incidental benefits to motorists
traveling to, from or through the City.
ge=atjoyal Tralys and Greenbelm Landscaping along recreational trails and greenbelts, if well
maintained, confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real property within each Zone of
Benefit by providing beautification and positive enhancement of the community character,
attractiveness and desirability of the surroundings. In addition, all of the aforementioned
contributes to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the
property value of each parcel of each parcel within each Zone of Benefit which confers a particular
and distinct special benefit upon the real property within each Zone of Benefit
In "Greenways for America" by Charles E. Little, it is stated:
[real estate] agents routinely advertise properties as being on or near the
trail.... property near but not immediately adjacent to the Burke -Gilman Trail is
significantly easier to sell and, according to real estate agents, sells for an average of
WWr: I Pe 11
aa°
City of Santa Clarita Combined Engineer's Report
Fucal Year 2010/ 11 Landscape Maintenance Duftets
6 percent more as a result of its proximity to the trail. Property immediately
adjacent to the trail, however, is only slightly easier to sell .... trails are an amenity that
helps sellhomes, increase property values and improve the quality of life."
Additionally, the National Recreation and Park Association, in June 1985, stated:
"The recreation value is realized as a rise in the value of land and other property in
or near the recreation area, and is of public interest to the taxpayers, who have a
stake in a maximum of total assessed values."
Operation and maintenance of the trails and greenways within the City confers a particular and
distinct special benefit to those properties within the community immediately surrounding the
improvements.
General Benefits
The general benefits associated with trees, landscaping improvements, hardscaping, ornamental
structures and appurtenant facilities located near the parcels within the Districts are considered
incidental, negligible and non -quantifiable to the public at large. Landscaping in the medians along
the major thoroughfares provides only incidental, negligible and non -quantifiable benefits to
motorists traveling to, from or through the City. Operation and maintenance of the trails and
greenways within the City provides only incidental, negligible and non -quantifiable benefits to
pedestrians and cyclists traveling through the trails and greenbelts. The improvements detailed in
Part A herein confer special benefits that affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and
. distinct from the effects on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do
not share.

Apportionment Methodology
The following table lists the various Zones and Annexations within the Districts, their land use and
assessment type, and the nulnbet of assessable parcels, units, acreage or EBU's.
Equivalent Benefit Units BU's)
In order to allocate benefit fairly between the parcels, an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU)
methodology is proposed which equates different types of land uses to a single-family residential
parcel, thereby allowing a uniform method of assessment
The EBU method uses the single-family home as the basic unit of apportionment A single family
home equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Every other land use is converted to EBU's as
described below. All properties in the District will be assigned benefit units and land use
classifications per the County Assessor's roll. (Inaccuracies in the County data will be reviewed on a
case by case basis as they are brought to the City's attention.)
A methodology has been developed to calculate the EBU's for other residential land uses and for
non-residential parcels. Every land use is converted to EBU's: parcels containing apartments are

Combined Engineer's Report
!rcabe Maintenance Districts
converted to EBU's based on the number of benefit units on each parcel of land; non-residential
parcels are converted based on the lot size of each parcel of land.
There are various apportionment methodologies used in the Districts. A "Method Code" in the
table below identifies the specific methodology used for each District, Zone and Annexation.
These "Method Codes" are explained after the table.

The number of parcels, units, acres and EBU's shown in the table above reflect the current
information for the Districts. These numbers will be updated prior to submitting the final
Assessment Roll to the County Auditor -Controller for placement on the property tax bills.
Fluctuations in the number of parcels and other information may occur from year to year as parcels
subdivide, combine and/or change uses.
Method Code Definitions:
Method 1— The assessment is apportioned to the benefiting properties on a per -parcel basis.
Method 2 — The assessment is apportioned to the benefiting properties on an acreage basis where
all parcels are assessed based on the parcel's percentage of the total number of acres
in the annexation or zone.
Method 3 The assessment is apportioned to the benefiting properties based on Equivalent
Benefit Units (EBU's) such that a Single Family Detached Residence (SFR) is equal to
1 EBU and all other properties are converted to EBU's based on their relative benefit
as compared to an SFR as follows:

City of Santa Clanta Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2010111 Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1
Introduction 0
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.
Prior to Fiscal Year 1998/99, streetlight services in the City of Santa Clarita ("City's were provided
by a special benefit district administered by the County of Los Angeles. The Santa Clarity area was
included in two separate districts under the County's jurisdiction. County Lighting District LLA -1
was formed on July 24, 1979 and was supplemented by the existing County Lighting Maintenance
District ("CLIAD 1867'x. Upon incorporation of the City of Santa Clarita in 1987, a Santa Clarita
Zone was formed sperifically for the area within the City's boundaries. CLMD 1867 and County
Lighting District LLA -1 are contiguous with each other and are wholly within the City's boundaries.
However, County Lighting District LLA -1 covers a greater portion of the City.
The District referred to as CLMD 1867 is funded from ad valorem property tax revenue pursuant to
the Improvement Act of 1911, with the rate set by Proposition 13. The County Lighting District
LLA-1("LLA-1"} was established and is funded by assessments levied beginning in 1979 pursuant to
the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 when new annexations to the County Lighting District
could no longer collect ad valorem revenue. LLA -1 was established to cover the lights in the new
annexation areas and to supplement the current ad valorem revenue. •
As of July 1, 1998, all streetlight districts are under the jurisdiction of the City as Streetlight
Maintenance District No. 1 ("District's (previously LLA -1) and No. 2 (previously CLMD 1867)
respectively. It is the City's responsibility to prepare and levy the annual assessments necessary to
maintain the streetlights within the District
Upon the effective date of the transfer, the City assumed total responsibility for the District's
maintenance contract under which Southern California Edison provides the required services.
Pursuant to the Act, the City Council is now the legislative body for the District and may levy annual
assessments and act as the governing body for the operation and administration of the District.
In future years, as territory is annexed into the City, annexation to the District will be a condition of
annexation to the City. In addition, any new development will also be required to annex into the
existing District. All new annexations will be annexed into Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1,
under the 1972 Act. It is not clear at this time whether the City can collect ad valorem on any new
annexations. This report includes all annexations that have been approved by the Council prior to
November 10 2009.
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 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.

City of Santa Clanta Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2010/ 11 Streetlight [Maintenance District No. 1
• This report addresses only Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1. District No. 2, the ad valorem
portion, is handled through the County Auditor and the State Board of Equalization and is not acted
upon by the City Council.
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 XIIIC and XIIID 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. 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 fights is based on the speed of the vehicles and the natural ability of the motorists' eyes to
adjust to light and dark areas.
• Most parcels included in the District were originally part of a development that was conditioned to
install streetlight improvements before the development could proceed. Thereafter, each developer
who was conditioned to enter into the District agreed to the inclusion of their property in the
District along with 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
assessments.
Article XIIID, Section 5(a) of the State Constitution, provides that any assessment imposed
exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets,
sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control, shall be considered exempt from
the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4 of Article XIIID.
Streetlights are installed on and are for street purposes. They are maintained and serviced for
optimum use of the streets as intended in their design. Assessments for the maintenance and
servicing of the streets must include streetlights and therefore, the assessments for Streetlight
Maintenance District No. I are exempt under the provisions of Proposition 218. This exemption
applies only to assessments existing on the effective date of Proposition 218, November 6, 1996,
and the exemption is only from the procedures and approval process set forth in Article XIIID,
Section 4. Subsequent increases, if any, will be subject to the procedures and approval process of
Section 4 of Article XIIID.

City of Santa Clanta Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2010/ 11 Streethgbt [Maintenance District No. 1
All parcels included in Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 prior to 1998 are covered by this
is
exemption and the maximum assessment rate for those parcels is $12.38 per Equivalent Benefit Unit
(EBq.
Most parcels annexed into the District after 1998 were annexed at the rate of $50.00 per EBU and
are subjected to a cost of living escalation equal to the annual change in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI).
The City may annually initiate proceedings for the continued maintenance and servicing of
streetlight improvements by passing a resolution which orders an engineer to prepare and file a
detailed report that generally describes any proposed improvements or any substantial changes in
existing improvements.
This report must include: plans and specifications of any new improvements; an estimate of the
costs of the new improvements, including maintenance and servicing of the new or existing
improvements; and a diagram, i.e., a map of the assessment district showing the boundary of the
District and the parcels or lots which benefit. Once the report is completed, it is presented to the
City Council 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
levy and collect assessments, describes the improvements, including maintenance and servicing,
refers to the 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 assessment

City of Santa Clarita Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2010/ 11 Streetlight Al dntenance District No. 1
0 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 in proportion to the estimated
benefits to be received be 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 Analysis
• In determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of
the parcel to the public improvements detailed in Part A above, and the capital, maintenance and
operating costs of said public improvements, was considered and analyzed. Due to the close
proximity of the parcels to the improvements detailed in Pan A above, it has been demonstrated
and determined the parcels are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are
conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by, said public
improvements.
•
Most of the streetlighting 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, street lighting and appurtenant facilities to
serve the parcels. Therefore, these parcels within the District could not have been developed in the
absence of the installation and promised maintenance of these facilities.
The proper maintenance of the streetlighting and appurtenant facilities specially benefit parcels
within the District. The proper maintenance of the street lighting and appurtenant facilities reduces
property -related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District The street lighting
located in Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 helps to visually join the various segments of the
community, which enhance property. In addition, all of the above mentioned improvements
contribute to a specific enhancement of the property value of each of the parcels within the District.

Fiscal Year 2010111 Streethgbt Maintenance District No. 1
The benefit provided by streetlighting consists of safety for pedestrians and motorists living and •
owning property in the District during the nighttime hours. This is a particular and distinct special
benefit to all developed parcels in the District.
Streetlights 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.
Streedights are installed on and are for street purposes and are maintained and serviced for optimum
use of the streets as intended in their design. 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. 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 systems of streets within the District are established to provide access to each parcel in the
District. Streetlights provide a safer street environment for owners of the parcels served. If the
parcels were not subdivided to individual parcels within the District, there would be no need for
providing a system of streets with safety lighting for the owners of the individual parcels.
The City has determined that streetlights are also an integral part of the quality of life within the
City. This quality of fife is a special benefit to some degree to all parcels, except government owned
parcels, including easements, and flood channel parcels.
Therefore, the installation, operation and maintenance of streetlights are for the express, special
benefit of the parcels within the District.
General Benefit Analysis
In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels within the District, there are incidental
general benefits conferred by the improvements.

LDAN I Page 13

City of Santa Clarita Engineer's Report
Final Year 2010/ 11 Streetlight hfaintenance District No. 1
It is estimated that the general benefit portion of the benefit received from the improvements 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.
The total benefits are thus a combination of the special benefits to the parcels within the District
and the general benefits to the public at large. The portion of the total streetlight 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. These general benefits are more than adequately offset by the
substantial contribution from the ad valorem street lighting assessment.
Assessment Rates
For Fiscal Year 2010-11 the Original District parcels in Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 will
continue with the current rate schedule as used by Los Angeles County at the time of the transfer of
jurisdiction.
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 in
proportion to the estimated benefits received. The primary benefits of streetlights are for the
convenience, safety, and protection of people and to a lesser extent the security or protection of
property, property improvements, and goods. The intensity or degree of illumination provided can
• have a bearing on both.
The proposed assessment rate for the original District parcels for Fiscal Year 2010-11 is $12.38 per
Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU), which is the maximum rate previously levied prior to 1997. The
areas annexed into the District by the City have a higher rate. Approximately 89 annexations have
occurred since the transfer of the District. Prior to FY 2006-07, the rate was set at $50.00 per EBU
plus an annual cost of living escalator described below.
•
COST OF LIVING ESCALATOR: The maximum assessment rate may increase based on 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).
In FY 2006-07, the City increased the annexation rate to $52.56 per EBU to keep up with the
increased costs of operating and maintaining the street lighting system and is continuing with the
cost of living increase for this current fiscal year, as follows:

Apportionment
The following information can be used to determine the EBU count per parcel. Based on land use
information provided by the County Assessor, it has been determined that in the existing district,
approximately 96 percent of the parcels are in a residential category. Approximately 95 percent are
single-family homes or condominiums, and the remainders 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 1 has been assigned to the basic family unit or Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU),
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
fights 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 EBU.
In the remainder of the residential category, which is comprised of multiple rental type properties,
the value for Intensity would remain at 1/4, 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, 1 for People Use and 1/2 for Security Benefit for a total of 1-3/4 EBU's. The owner of
such property would therefore pay 1-3/4 tines 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 1. Thus, a 5 -unit
apartment would be assigned 1/4 for Intensity, 2-1/2 for People Use and 1 for Security Benefits for
a total of 3-3/4 EBU's. As the number of apartments on a parcel increases, the service charge units
assigned for people would follow a declining scale.

Table 1 summarizes the Residential EBU Calculation:
Table i - Residential EBU Calculations
Total EBUs
SFR and Condos 0.50 0.25 0.25 1.00 Der parcel
The non-residential lots or parcels are separated into 38 land use categories as determined by the
County Assessor. Equivalent Benefit Units (EBU'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 fighting
• 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 EBU'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 3 EBU'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 parcels within the district.

is Part A — Plans and Specifications
The existing improvements, which have been constructed within the City of Santa Clarita, and those
additional improvements that may be subsequently constructed, and that are proposed to be
serviced and maintained as generally described as follows:
Description of Improvements
The improvements proposed to be maintained and serviced are generally described as the
Conservation Easement area, as described in the Judgment of the Superior Court of the State of
California Case No. SC269070, filed July 29, 2002, which is the open space area on Tentative Tract
Map No. 52414 (Golden Valley Ranch).
Improvements include but are not limited to: trail maintenance and open space management within
the boundaries of said Maintenance District.
The District will fund costs in connection with the District maintenance and servicing including, but
not limited to, labor, electrical energy, water, materials, contracting services, administration, and
other expenses necessary for the satisfactory maintenance and servicing of these improvements.
Maintenance means the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual operation of
natural open space land or replacement of all or part of any of the landscaping or appurtenant
• improvements; the removal of rubbish, debris and other solid waste; the cleaning and other
improvements to remove or cover graffiti; and trail maintenance.
Servicing means the administration of all aspects of the maintenance and servicing of the
improvements.
Plans and specifications for the improvements, showing the general nature, location and the extent
of the improvements, are on file at the City where they are available for public inspection and are by
reference herein made a part of this report.

Part B — Estimate of Cost •
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown below, are
the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2010-11.
The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental
expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include
engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs
identified with the district proceedings.
Maintenance & Servicing Costs
Natural Open Space & Trails $39,000
Administration Costs 5.525
$44,525
Operating and Capital Reserve $181,950
Interest (positive) (3,000)
Prior Year (surplus) or deficit1( 585171
Total Assessment $64,958
The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set-up for the revenues and expenditures of the
District. Funds raised by assessment shall be used only for the purpose as stated herein. The City
may advance funds to the District, if needed, to ensure adequate cash flow, and will be reimbursed •
for any such advances upon receipt of assessments. Any surplus or deficit remaining on July 1 must
be carried over to the next fiscal year.

• Part C — Method of Apportionment of Assessment
General
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,
permits the establishment of Maintenance Districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain
public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of street lights,
traffic signals and landscaping facilities.
Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments be
levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an Maintenance District may be
apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all
assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such
lot or parcel from the improvements."
The Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual Maintenance District if
"by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas
will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act
requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
• Reason for the Assessment
The assessment is proposed to be levied to defray the costs of the maintenance and servicing of the
open space conservation area improvements, as previously defined herein in Part A of this Report.
Special Benefit Analysis
Parcels within the District will be assessed for the maintenance of those improvements that provide
a special benefit to the project. Article XIIID of the California Constitution defines special benefit
as:
"A particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property
located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does
not constitute `special benefit'."
Per the Judgment of the Superior Court of the State of California Case No. BC269070, filed July 29,
2002, the setting aside and on-going maintenance of natural open space areas is a condition of
developing the residential portion of Tentative Tract No. 52414 (Golden Valley Ranch).
Without the open space areas, residential development would not be allowed to occur within the
boundaries of the Tentative Tract; therefore, all real property proposed to be developed for
residential uses receive and are conferred a particular and distinct special benefit from these open
Fl

bace itilaintenance District
M
space areas and their maintenance. Non-residential properties are not subject to this condition and
therefore do not receive special benefit from the improvements. The general benefits associated
with these open space areas and their maintenance are considered incidental, negligible and
nonquantifiable.
Assessment Apportionment and Rates
As stated above, only residential property receives special benefits for the on-going maintenance of
the designated open space within Tentative Tract No. 52414 (Golden Valley Ranch). There are
142.05 net acres of land designated for residential development within the tentative tract. The special
benefit to each residential acre of land is the same: the ability to develop. Therefore, the assessment
is apportioned to the residential development areas on a per acre basis.
$64,958/ 142.05 acres = $457.29 / acre
The table below provides the projected assessment apportionment for the two types of planned
residential unit areas within the Golden Valley Ranch development and shows the estimated
maximum annual assessment rate per residential unit given the following assumptions. These rates
are based on the following development scheme:
129.89 acres currently designated for 404 single family residential (SFR) units,
12.16 acres currently designated for 95 single family condominium (CON) units

If the number of residential units differs from those projected above, the maximum assessment rates
per residential unit will also differ.
The maximum annual maintenance assessment rates will be increased each year by the annual
change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), during the preceding year ending in February, for All
Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles, Los Angeles and Orange County areas.
The actual assessments levied in any fiscal year will be as approved by the City Council and may not
exceed the maximum assessment rate without receiving property owner approval for the increase.

Introduction •
This report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 6.4, of the Benefit
Assessment Act of 1982, (hereinafter referred to as the "Act') of the California Government Code.
Pursuant to the Act, the City Council is 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 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 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.
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 MC and XHM to the California Constitution. The Proposition affects all
assessments upon real property for a special benefit conferred on the property. Assessments
imposed under the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 are these types of assessments. However, the
Proposition also exempts any assessments imposed to finance costs associated with drainage
systems. In Santa Clarity required drainage systems due to development of land may require the
property owner, as a condition of development approval, to annex into or fort a Drainage Benefit
Assessment Area (DBAA) to pay for their ongoing maintenance. As such, owners and subsequent
owners of benefiting parcels are assessed annually. Drainage Benefit Assessment Area (DBAA) Nos.
3, 6, 18, 20, 22, 2008-1 and 2008-2 were formed in this way. The one exception to the above
formation process is DBAA No. 19, whose formation was initiated by a group of existing •
homeowners in response to rising ground water in their immediate neighborhood. Assessments for
DBAA's 3, 6, 18 and 19 are exempt from the provisions of Proposition 218. However, subsequent
increases, if any, will be subject to the procedures and approval process of Section 4 of Article
XMD. DBAA's 20, 22, 2008-1 and 2008-2 were established under the provisions of Proposition 218
and the maximum assessments may be increased by the annual change in CPI. If the annual
assessment rates are increased above the maximum allowable assessment rates, then the increase will
be subject to the procedures and approval process of Section 4 of Article X1IID. Assessments, if
authorized by the City Council, would be placed on the 2010/11 Los Angeles County Property Tax
Roll. Reserve funds would be used to fund the maintenance and service until assessment funds are
distributed by the County Tax Collector in December of 2010.

vegetated and landscaped with native vegetation. Extended detention basins are basins
whose outlets have been designed to detain the Stormwater runoff from a water quality
design storm for some minimum time (e.g. 48 hours) to allow particles and associated
pollutants to settle. Additionally, the basins have been designed to reduce the 2 -year peak
flow from the post -development condition to the pre -development condition. The
difference in the pre -and post -development Stormwater runoff generated by a 2 -year storm,
and by a 0.75 -inch (first flush) storm, will be collected, detained, and treated in the basins,
before it is released into the Santa Clara River. Regular maintenance is required in order for
the basins to function correctly within the design parameters.

City of Santa Garita Engineer' Report
Fiscal Year 2010111 DBA4 Nos. 3, 6, 18, 19, 20, 22, 2008-1 and 2008-2
is Part E — Method of Assessment
The following is the approved assessment methodologies for the Drainage Benefit Assessment Area
Nos. 3, 6,18,19, 20, 22, 2008-1 and 2008-2:
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
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
DBAA Nos. 3.6.18.19.20.22 and 2008-1
The installation and continued maintenance of drainage improvements by the developers, sub-
dividers of the land, was guaranteed through the establishment of a Drainage Benefit Assessment
Area as a condition of subdivision and development. Had the installation of the improvements and
• the guaranteed maintenance not occurred, the lots would not have been established and could not
have been sold to any distinct and separate owner. Thus, the ability to establish each distinct and
separate lot which permits the construction of a building or structure on the property and the
ownership and sale of the distinct lot in perpetuity is a particular and distinct special benefit
conferred only to the real property located in the District.
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 is conferred a
particular and distinct special benefit from the improvements and to the same degree. DBAA No. 3
is a multi -family residential development and is assessed based on the number of dwelling units
within the development. DBAA Nos. 6, 18, 19, 20, 22 and 2008-1 are single-family residential
developments and each developable lot is one dwelling unit, so these developments are assessed
based on the number of dwelling units within them.
The drainage improvements of the district were established to provide for surface and/or subsurface
water removal in order to promote and maintain desirable soil conditions, soil stability and/or slope
stability of, and specifically related to, the subdivided lots within the district; thus, the drainage
improvements, and the continued maintenance thereof, confer a particular and distinct special
benefit to the real property located within the district.
• WILLDAN
Fnan W Services I Page 10
City of Santa Clanta Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2010/ 11 DBAA Nos. 3, 6,18,19,20,22,2008-1 and 2008-2
In addition, all of the above contributes to a specific increase in property desirability and a •
specific enhancement of the property value of each parcel within the district which confers a
particular and distinct special benefit upon the real property located within the district.
DBAA No. 2008-2
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, sub -dividers 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 I 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.
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
drainage.

City of Santa Clanta Engineer's Report
Fiscal Year 2010/ 11 DBAA Nos. 3, 6, 18, 19, 20, 22, 2008-1 and 2008-2
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
Districts, and were installed and are maintained particularly and solely to serve, and for the benefit
of, the properties within the Districts. Any benefit received by properties outside of the Districts is
inadvertent and unintentional. Therefore, any general benefits associated with the drainage facilities
of the District are merely incidental, negligible and non -quantifiable.
Apportionment
In DBAA Nos. 3, 6,18, 19, 20, 22 and 2008-1, all the parcels in the District receive the same special
benefit from the improvements due to their use and similar proximity to the improvements.
Therefore, each parcel is assessed an equal amount. Or in the case of undeveloped parcels, these
parcels are assessed for their proportionate share based on the number of proposed units to be built
on that parcel.
In DBAA 2008-2, 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.
Annual Escalators
DBAA Nos. 20, 22, 2008-1 and 2008-2 were established with an annual assessment escalation clause,
should the city choose to use it. The maximum assessment rate will increase based on 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). This year, the annual change in CPI is 1.9%.
DBAA Nos. 3, 6, 18, and 19 were established without escalators.
