INTRODUCTION
The City Council of the City of,Grand Terrace (the "City") adopted its General Plan with
various elements to provide guidelines for orderly development within the community.
The City Council further adopted _ordinances and regulations governing the
development of land providing. for -the installation and construction of certain
landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities to enhance the quality of- life.and to
benefit the value of property.
The requirement for, the construction and installation of landscaping, lighting and
appurtenant facilities,is a condition-of approval for development-and. is a.requirement of
issuance of a permit for the construction of any residential,, commercial, industrial and
planned unit development.- The installation of landscaping and lighting systems and the
construction of-the necessary appurtenant facilities is the responsibility of'the property
owner%applicant, as conditions of approval of a development application. The City may
cause the installation by property owners, directly or accept:financial arrangements for
installation of these-facilities. The cost of servicing,-operation, maintenance, repair and
replacement of the landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities .in turn becomes the.
responsibility of the benefitting properties.
The owners/applicants petitioned for formation of the Landscaping Lighting Assessment
District and/or annexation. These have been completed and will increase the City's
obligation for maintenance and'�servicing.
The City of Grand Terrace is administering.a lighting system for the:benefit of all parcels
of land"within .the City. - The lighting benefit is directly related to public .safety and
property protection. These benefits. have been studied widely, locally, regionally and-
nationally.
The City formed Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District 89;1 (the ""District") in
1989 and. subsequently annexed other parcels as Annexation No., 1 , Annexation No. 2
Annexation :No. 3, Annexation 'No. 4, and Annexation No. 5 .to said District to ensure a
fair and equitable levying 'of the necessary costs of servicing. and maintenance of the
:respective facilities, which in turn will enhance the value of each parcel- in -the. District
directly and collectively.
The boundaries of the District, which include Annexations 1, .2, 3, 4, and 5 are the
boundaries of Zone 1 - Tract 13364 filed ini Map Book 203, Pages 89 through 92,

A. ZONES OF BENEFIT
In an effort to ensure an appropriate allocation of the estimated annual cost to provide
the District improvements based on proportional special benefits, this District is
established with benefit zones (".Zones") as authorized pursuant to Chapter 1 Article 4,
Section 22574 of the 1972 Act:
"The diagram and assessment.may classify.various areas .within an assessment
district into,.different zones-where, by reason of variations in the nature, location, and
extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of
benefit from the improvements. A zone shall consist of all territory which will receive
substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements."'
The parcels; lots, subdivisions and developments within the,District are identified and
grouped into one of seven (7) Zones. Each Zone reflects the landscape improvements
associated with the development of properties in.. that Zone, to fairly and .equitably
apportion the net cost of providing those improvements to the properties that receive
special benefits from the service and activities associated with those improvements. All
of the parcels in the District are -identified as single-family residential properties within
three residential developments. These residential developments have been, grouped
into seven different Zones that reflects each specific budget and improvements for that
.particular Zone. By establishing and utilizing-a Zone structure, similar .properties with
similar types of improvements will be assessed a proportional amount .for the services
and activities provided by the District.within each respective Zone..
The improvements are :the operation, maintenance -and servicing, of landscaping,
lighting and appurtenant facilities described as follows:

Section II. 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 2-18 and Article XIII D of
the California Constitution ("Article XIID"). For each Zone within the District, each parcel
represents one (1) Equivalent Benefit Unit ("EBU").
2022/2023 City of Grand Terrace-L&L AD No. 89-1 Page 8
W I LLDAN
'The following formula is used to arrive at. the- levy amount for each parcel within
each.Zone:
Total Balance to Lew = Levy per EBU
Total EBU
Levy per EBU(rate)x Parcel's EBU = Parcel Levy Ainount
Proposition 218 Benefit Analysis
The costs of the proposed improvements for Fiscal Year, 2022/2023 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
XI I ID-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(i) 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 MID 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.
2022/2023 City of Grand Terrace- L&L AD No. 89-1 Page 0
. � ;, W 1 LLDAN
• Enhanced adaptation of adequate green space.V 'trees, and amenities
within the urban environment.
• 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 weil-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 custotner'.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 6.1,750 square feet of landscaped space, Zone 7 —Tract
18604 has approximately 8,239 square feet of landscaped space. The proposed
budgets for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 show the general benefit amount which will be
2022/2023 City of Grand Terrace- L&L AD No. 89-1 Page 10
,�, WILLDAN
deducted from the cost of maintenance to arrive at a net special benefit assessment
rate.
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
2022/2023 City of Grand Terrace-L&L AD No. 80-1 Page 11
WLif WI LLDAN
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
approved, as well as the approval of an assessment range formula.
The assessment range formula -for District assessments may ,be applied to future
assessments within the District commencing with Fiscal Year 201-8/2019 for Zone 4 —
Tract 17766 and Zone 5 —Tract 18793, Fiscal Year 2010/2020 for Zone 6—Tract 18071
and Fiscal Year 2020/2-021 for Zone.7. Zone 1 — Tract 13364, Zone. 2 — Tract 14264
and Zone 3 14471 ,does not have an increase in assessments. The following'describes
the assessment range formula:.
The Maximum Assessment -is eequal to the initial Assessment approved by property
owners' adjusted annually by the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price
Index ("CPI".) plus two percent (2%). As of January 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(the "BLS") split the Los ,Angeles-Riverside-Orange. County Area for all '.Urban
Consumers to Los Angeles=Long. Beach-Anaheim area and Riverside-San Bernardino-
Ontario Area. Each fiscal year, the Maximum Assessment will. be recalculated, and a
new Maximum Assessment established: 'Currently, the District uses the Annual
Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario CPI index to compute the CPI difference each year:
For Fiscal Year 2022/2023, the percentage difference is 5.761.0%. Therefore, the
Maximum Assessment will.increase by 7.76106/o.
The Maximum Assessment is adjusted .annually and is calculated: independent of the
annual budgets and proposed assessments established for each Zone of the District.
Any-proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU) less than or equal to this Maximum
Assessment. (for each Zone) is not considered' an- increased assessment, even if the
proposed assessment is much greater than the assessment applied 'in the' prior fiscal
year.
