CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
AGENDA REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by: Kevin Tonoian
DATE: January8, 2013
SUBJECT: ANNEXATION OF PARCELS INTO STREETLIGHT
MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 (ANNEXATION NO. L-92)
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council conduct public hearing and open and review the ballots. If no majority protest
exists, adopt a resolution ordering said annexation and authorize the annual levy and collection
of assessments within the District. If a majority protest exists, no action will be required.
BACKGROUND
Streetlight Maintenance District (SMD) No. I was established to collect funds to cover the
expenses for energy and maintenance of City streetlights. The costs associated with the
streetlights, inclusive of approximately 16,500, are billed by Southern California Edison to the
City. As a condition of development, properties are required to annex into SMD No. I in order
to pay their fair share toward costs associated with the installation and ongoing maintenance of
streetlight facilities. The I 1 (eleven) parcels in Annexation L-92 include approximately 43 acres
of territory consisting of four non-residential developments generally located in the vicinity of:
Valley Center Drive and Golden Valley Road, Soledad Canyon Road and Sand Canyon Road,
Cinema Drive and Valencia Boulevard, and Railroad Avenue and Oak Ridge Drive. All parcels
subject to this annexation benefit from SMD services.
All four property owners were mailed assessment ballots on or before November 19, 2012.
Upon return of ballots to the City, staff determined some of the ballots were delivered by
property owners in an unsealed manner, while a small number of ballots were inadvertently
opened (but not removed) by staff. Assessment Law requires ballots to remain sealed until after
the close of the public hearing. As a result, replacement ballots were sent to the property owners
on or before December 14, 2012, providing them the opportunity to cast replacement ballots.
At the close of tonight's Public Hearing, the ballots for L-92 will be tabulated. In the event two
ballots are received for one parcel, the replacement ballot will supercede the original ballot. All
parcels identified for inclusion as part of these proceedings are zoned commercial. Barring a
majority protest, it is recommended the City Council give final approval of this annexation.
The annual levy of assessments for the above parcels covers the anticipated maintenance costs
with the annexation for SMD No. 1. The maximum annual assessment is increased annually
according to the change in the Los Angeles, Riverside, and Orange County Area Consumer Price
Index (CPI), as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Annually, the City Council will decide the actual assessment amount. The City Council may
adopt a lesser assessment amount but may not exceed the maximum annual assessment rate.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1. Do not annex the parcels into Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1.
2. Other direction as determined by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund by this action.

INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2 of Division 15 of the
California Streets and Highways Code, commencing with Section 22500 (hereafter referred to as the "1972
Act'), this report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 1, of the 1972 Act
regarding the annexation of territory to the City's existing Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District No.
1 (hereafter referred to as "SMD No. 1".
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.

PART A - PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The proposed improvements for Annexation No. L-92 as part of Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1
("SMD No. 1"), includes, but is not limited to, and may be generally described as follows: Installation of
street lighting, traffic signals, and other appurtenant facilities. 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.

Engineer's Report
City of Santa Clanta — 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 MID 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
j/
ancWILLDAN I
Finial Services
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.
F—ITHITIENT79 Wk,
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
WWILLDAN I
� 1 nnmdai Services
Engineers Report
City of Santa Clahta - Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 Annexation No. L-92
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 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 112 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, 2-112 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.

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 lighting district maps and each
streetlight or portion thereof in the immediate proximity of the tots 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.

PART C -ESTIMATED COST OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
The 1972 Act provides that the estimated costs of the improvements shall include the total cost of the
improvements, including incidental expenses, which may include reserves to operate the District until funds
are collected on the County tax rolls and are transferred to the City from the County around December 10
of the current fiscal year.
The 1972 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 district is
the total cost of installation, maintenance and servicing with adjustments either positive or negative for
reserves, surpluses, deficits and/or contributions.

Engineer's Report
City of Santa Clarita — Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 Annexation No. L-92
ASSESSMENT RATE
The SMD No. 1 maximum assessment rate previously approved for fiscal year 2012/2013 is $73.68 per
equivalent benefit unit (per EBU). 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.

Engineer's Report
City of Santa Clarity - Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 Annexation No. L-92
PART E - ASSESSMENT ROLL
All assessed lots or parcels of real property within Annexation L-92 are listed on the assessment roll below.
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
201212013, although the parcels will not be subject to such assessments including the annual inflationary
adjustment until Fiscal Year 201312014. 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.
