METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation, and servicing of street lighting improvements and related facilities The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value "The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment 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 formulas used for calculating assessments reflect the composition of parcels within the District (which are all residential properties) and the improvements and activities to be provided and have been designed to fairly apportion costs based on a determination of the proportional special benefits to each parcel within each Zone, consistent with the requirements of the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218 and Article XIII D of the California Constitution ("Article MID") For each Zone within the District, each parcel represents one (1) Equivalent Benefit Unit ("EBU") 2023/2024 City of Grand Terrace - L&L AD No 89-1 Page 8 I W-11 � W I LLDAN The following formula is used to arrive at the levy amount for each parcel within each Zone Total Balance to Levy = Levy per EBU Total EBU Levy per EBU (rate) x Parcel's EBU = Parcel Levy Amount Proposition 218 Benefit Analysis The costs of the proposed improvements for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit The improvements provided by this District and for which properties are assessed are public street lighting and landscaping improvements These improvements generally were installed in connection with the development of the properties within the District Article XIIID Section 2(d) defines District as follows "District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property -related service"; Article XIIID Section 2(1) defines Special benefit as follows "Special benefit" means 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 " Article XIIID Section 4(a) defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows "An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined In relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel " Benefit Analysis Special Benefit The special benefits properties within the District will receive from the proposed improvements include, but are not limited to • Improved aesthetic appeal of nearby properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties • Enhanced adaptation of adequate green space, trees, and amenities within the urban environment 2023/2024 City of Grand Terrace - L&L AD No 89-1 Page 9 W-NA W I LLDAN • Increased sense of pride in ownership of properties within the District resulting from their association with well -maintained improvements • Enhanced quality of life and working environment within the area that is promoted by well -maintained landscaped areas and amenities • Reduced criminal activity and property -related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well -maintained surroundings and amenities within public areas • Increased social opportunities and leisure activities for customer's residents and families, provided by a well -maintained neighborhood destination place for relaxation, socializing, and entertainment that is within easy walking distance • Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise The preceding special benefits contribute to the overall aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District and thereby provide a special enhancement to these properties Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the improvements would ultimately result in the deterioration of the improvements and facilities, which in turn could negatively impact the properties within the District As such, the annual costs of ensuring the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvements are considered a distinct and special benefit to the properties within the District and are therefore considered the financial obligation of those properties The cost of any improvement or portion thereof that is considered to be of general benefit shall not be included as part of the special benefit assessments allocated to properties within the District General Benefit In the absence of a special funding District, the City would typically provide only weed abatement and erosion control services for landscaped areas The cost to provide this baseline level of service is approximately $0 01 per square foot for landscape areas that require maintenance Zone 1 — Tract 13364 has approximately 29,100 square feet of landscape space, Zone 2 — Tract 14264 has no landscaping area that the City maintains and Zone 3 — Tract 14471 has approximately 9,045 square feet of landscape space, Zone 4 — Tract 17766 has approximately 3,856 square feet of landscaped space, Zone 5 — Tract 18793 has approximately 4,668 square feet of landscaped space, Zone 6 — Tract 18071 has approximately 61,750 square feet of landscaped space, Zone 7 — Tract 18604 has approximately 3,239 square feet of landscaped space The proposed budgets for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 show the general benefit amount which will be deducted from the cost of maintenance to arrive at a net special benefit assessment rate 2023/2024 City of Grand Terrace - L&L AD No 89-1 Page 10 W-Jil W I LLDAN Assessment Methodology This District was formed to establish and provide for the improvements that enhance the presentation of the surrounding properties and developments These improvements will directly benefit the parcels to be assessed within the District The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that the assessments will be used to construct and install landscape and lighting improvements within the existing District as well as provide for the annual maintenance of those improvements, and the assessment revenues generated by District will be used solely for such purposes The costs of the proposed improvements have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit The improvements to be provided by this District and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as an essential component and local amenity that provides a direct reflection and extension of the properties within the District which the property owners and residents have expressed a high level of support The method of apportionment (method of assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape and lighting improvements within the District, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel's proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits To identify and determine the proportional special benefit to each parcel within the District, it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the improvements provided as well as the properties that benefit from those improvements The improvements and the associated costs described in this Report, have been carefully reviewed and have been identified and allocated based on a benefit rationale and calculations that proportionally allocate the net cost of only those improvements determined to be of special benefit to properties within the District Assessment Range Formula Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID), legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed " This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (the Proposition 218 implementing legislation) The purpose of establishing an assessment range formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments As part of the District formation, balloting of property owners is required pursuant to the Article XIIID Section 4 The property owner ballots include an Assessment to be 2023/2024 City of Grand Terrace -
