The City Council of the City of Santa Clarita being the legislative body for the SMD No. 1, may, pursuant to the 1972 Act, annex territory and levy annual assessments acting as the governing body for the operations and administration of the SMD No. 1. Section 22608 of the 1972 Act further states that annexation proceedings shall be limited to the territory proposed to be annexed into an existing district. In addition, the 1972 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 SMD No. 1 improvements. The 1972 Act further allows various areas to be annexed into an existing district when the territory in the annexation receives substantially the same proportional special benefits from the improvements. The costs associated with the installation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements may be assessed to those properties, which are benefited by the installation, maintenance and servicing of such improvements. This report specifically addresses the annexation of approximately forty-three (43) acres of territory consisting of four non-residential developments identified as: Tentative Parcel Map No. 71725, Master Case No. 11-148 (VBC-3 Investors, LLC), which is located on Valley Center Drive, north of Soledad Canyon Road and west of Golden Valley Road; Tentative Parcel Map No. 62646, Master Case No. 06-286 (TMC Hollis, LLC and Saugus Station, LLC), which is generally located at the northeast corner of Railroad Avenue and Oak Ridge Drive, north of Via Princessa; and Master Case No. 12-077 (The Church on the Way, Santa Clarita), which is generally located on the north side of Cinema Drive, east of Valencia Boulevard and west of Bouquet Canyon Road. Master Case No. 09-083 (The Arco Gas Station), which is generally located on the east side of Sand Canyon Road, just south of Delone Street and the Antelope Valley Freeway. This annexation territory is proposed to be annexed to the Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 and levied assessments for the SMD No. 1 commencing in fiscal year 2013/2014 and shall be known and referred to as: Annexation No. L-92, for the Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1. (hereafter referred to "Annexation No. L-92"). Those properties associated and identified herein as Annexation No. L-92 are shown on the Assessment Diagram incorporated herein as Part D of this Report. WILLDAN I Financial Services Engineer's Report City of Santa Clarita — Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 Annexation No. L•92 This Report has been prepared in connection with the annexation of parcels to the District for fiscal year 201312014, designated and referred to as Annexation L-92, pursuant to a resolution of the City Council and consists of five (5) parts: PART A — PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Contains a description of the improvements that are to be maintained or serviced by the District. PART B - METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT Identifies the estimated cost of the services or maintenance to be provided by the District, including incidental costs and expenses in connection therewith.

Services and maintenance include all work necessary for the daily maintenance required to maintain said lights in proper operation including providing said lights with the proper energy necessary to operate the lights. Streetlight improvements within SMD No. 1 are owned either by the Southern California Edison Company, the State of California Department of Transportation, or the City of Santa Clarita, Facilities constructed for or by the City of Santa Clarita are on file in the City offices. Proposed streetlight facilities in local proximity to parcels within Annexation No. L-92 are located in the City of Santa Clarita, generally including but not limited to street light facilities on and the vicinity of: Valley Center Drive, Golden Valley Road, Soledad Canyon Road, Cinema Drive, Bouquet Canyon Road, Valencia Boulevard, Railroad Avenue, Oak Ridge Drive and Sand Canyon Road. SMD No. 1 was established to collect funds to cover the expenses for energy and maintenance of a majority of streetlights in the City. These costs are billed by the Southern California Edison Company for all of the approximate 15,700 streetlights currently owned and maintained by Edison and all of the approximate 760 streetlights owned by the City and maintained by the City through a maintenance contract with the County of Los Angeles. The proposed new and/or existing improvements for SMD No. 1 include, but are not limited to, and may be generally described as follows: The installation of streetlights, traffic signals and other appurtenant facilities that are necessary for the daily operation of said lighting located within City road rights-of-way. Installation covers all work necessary for the installment or replacement of said lighting and all appurtenant work necessary to complete said installation or replacement. The operation, maintenance, and servicing of all existing streetlights, traffic signals, and other appurtenant facilities that are necessary for the daily operation of said lighting located within City road rights-of-way. Operation, maintenance, and servicing means all work necessary for the daily maintenance required to maintain said lights in proper operation including providing said lights with the proper energy necessary to operate the lights. The specific plans and Specifications for the streetlight improvements associated with Annexation No. L-92 are incorporated and contained in the plans and specifications for Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1. These plans and specifications 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. WeWILLDAN Financia; services Engineer's Report City of Santa Clarita — Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 Annexation No. L-92 PART B - METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT BACKGROUND The 1972 Act 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, the California Constitution Article MID requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Article XIID further 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 or annexation. 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 described in Part A of this Report, 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 and the fact that the original construction and installation of the improvements were a direct result of developing the properties to be assessed, the parcels within Annexation No. L-92 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 the existing SMD No. 1, most of 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 territory (Annexation L-92), 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 annexation territory and the district receives a special and distinct benefit from the improvements and to the same proportional benefit. These improvements confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon parcels within the annexation largely because of the nature of the improvements and the need for such improvements. The proper maintenance and operation of the streetlights and appurtenant facilities specially benefit parcels within the annexation territory by providing a clear physical extension into the surrounding public areas, lighting and illumination beyond that of the individual properties and creates both an aesthetic and safety continuity and cohesion between the individual properties that could not be accomplished individually. These streetlight improvements create both a visual and physical local safety net and unification of the properties to deter property -related crimes (especially vandalism) and improve night time access to the properties which directly and proportionately benefit those properties in close and direct proximity to those improvements. It has therefore been determined that based on the location and extent of the improvements in relationship to each of the properties in the annexation territory, these improvements are clearly a direct and special WILLDAN I f9nanclo Savices Engineer's Report City of Santa Clarita — Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 Annexation No. L-92 benefit to these parcels and the related cost and expenses to construct, maintain and operate these improvements (excluding those general benefit costs noted below) are reasonably the financial responsibility of those benefiting parcels. Therefore, the net annual cost to fund such improvements shall be proportionately shared by those properties receiving such special benefits including both the lots and parcels of land within Annexation No. L-92 and the lots and parcels in the existing SMD No. 1 which receive similar and proportional special benefits. GENERAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels within the proposed annexation, there are incidental general benefits conferred by the improvements. 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. 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. APPORTIONMENT For Fiscal Year 201212013, the parcels originally included in Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 (those parcels that were part of the County Service Area and transferred to the City's jurisdiction in 1998) will continue with the rate schedule as used by Los Angeles County at the time of the transfer of jurisdiction. Parcels annexed into the District after 1998 are assessed at a higher rate as approved by the City Council. The 1972 Act 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 street lighting 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 following provides a summary of the proportional unit count per parcel assignments established for SMD No. 1 for calculating each parcel's proportional special benefit assessment. This same method of apportionment is applicable to Annexation No. L-92. Based on land use information provided by the County Assessor, it has been determined that approximately 96 percent of the parcels in the existing district are in a residential category. Approximately 95 percent are single-family homes or condominiums, and the remaining residential properties are comprised of 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 lights in the area. These properties were also included in the District. Therefore a value of WorwILLDAN I Financial Services Engineer's Report City of Santa Clarita - Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 Annexation No. L-92 112 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 114, 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 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 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 3-314 ESU's. As the number of apartments on a parcel increases, the service charge units assigned for people would follow a declining scale.

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 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 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, no charge would be assessed on vacant parcels within the district.

This maximum assessment rate may increase each fiscal year 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 maximum assessment rate and annual CPI increase to the maximum assessment rate shall be applied to the assessments for Annexation L-92 as part of SMD No. 1 for fiscal year 2012/2013 and the assessment rate established for SMD No. 1 in subsequent fiscal years shall be applied to the lots and parcels of land within Annexation L-92. The current maximum assessment rate ($73.68) represents an increase of 2.02% over the maximum assessment rate for fiscal year 2011/2012 ($72.23) based on the annual percentage change for the period of March 2011 to March 2012, which was the most recent CPI adjustment published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics at the time the SMD No. 1 Annual Report was prepared and approved for Fiscal Year 2012/2013. �WILLDAN FinancialServices Engineers Report City of Santa Clarita — Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 Annexation No. L-92 PART D -ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM The Assessment Diagram for the existing Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 including previous annexations is on file at the City and by reference herein is made part of this Report.

This assessment roll identifies each Assessor's Parcel Number included in Annexation L-92 and the parcel's corresponding land use and proposed maximum assessment established for Fiscal Year 2012/2013, although the parcels will not be subject to such assessments including the annual inflationary adjustment until Fiscal Year 2013/2014. These lots or parcels are more particularly described in the County Assessor's Roll, which is on file in the office of the Los Angeles County Assessor and by reference is made a part of this report. The maximum assessment rate for Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 and the calculated proportional assessment amount for each parcel, including Annexation No. L-92 includes an annual inflationary adjustment (yearly increase), based upon the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for 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. Each fiscal year, the assessment engineer shall compute the percentage difference between the CPI of the current year and the CPI for the previous year, and shall then adjust the existing maximum assessment rate by the increase in this percentage for the upcoming 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. The assessment rate applied in any one fiscal year will not exceed this adjusted maximum assessment rate. 2811-002-276 GRP -13 8.13 Acres 2.00 $147.36 $0.00 2811-026-016 GRP -13 2.84 Acres 2.00 $147.36 $24.76 2836-005-050 GRP -H 0.19 Acres 5.00 $368.40 $0.00 2836-006-008 GRP -H 0.06 Acres 5.00 $368.40 $0.00 2836-006-053 GRP -H 4.51 Acres 5.00 $368.40 $61.90 2836-006-054 GRP -H 18.76 Acres 5.00 $368.40 $0.00 2840-007-001 GRP -E 0.46 Acres 4.00 $294.72 $0.00 2849-024-031 GRP -H 1.74 Acres 5.00 $368.40 $0.00 2849-024-032 GRP -H 5.37 Acres 5.00 $368.40 $0.00 2849-024-038 GRP -H 0.72 Acres 5.00 $368.40 $0.00 2849-024-040 GRP -H 0.16 Acres 5.00 $368.40 $0.00 Total 42.92 Acres 48.00 $3,536.64 $86.66 WILLDAN I financialServices CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NUMBER 52829 Conform to the applicable requirements of Titles 21 and 22 of the Los Angeles County Code ("County Code") including Sections 22.20.105 and 22.52.1180 and Conditional Use Permit No. 99-020-(5). 2.
