Fiscal Year 2012 -13 INTRODUCTION
SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
CITYWIDE LANDSCAPING &t STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT
Fiscal Year 2012 -13
Background Information
The City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore approved the formation of the Citywide
Landscaping & Street Lighting District ( "District ") with the adoption of Resolution No. 88 -27
on June 28,1988. The District was formed pursuant to the requirements of the Landscaping and
Lighting Act of 1972 ( "the 1972 Act ").
The District was formed to provide a source of funds for the installation, servicing, maintenance,
repair and operation of street lighting (including traffic signals), landscaping, street trees and
appurtenant facilities within the District. The boundaries of the District are simultaneous with
the boundaries of the City. The Engineer's Report sets forth the methodology to be used in
apportioning the assessment to the different land use types and benefit zones within the City
based upon the benefit they receive.
There are several different types of maintenance improvements throughout the City. Each of the
improvement types is broken into Improvement Areas and then the costs for those Improvement
Areas have been apportioned to the benefiting parcels. When the District was formed in 1988,
several "benefit zones" were established. These benefit zones were established to ensure a
source of funds for the ongoing maintenance of street lighting improvements (including traffic
signals), public landscaping and public street trees which are of benefit to all parcels within the
City. This includes street lighting (including traffic signals), landscaping and street trees along
major thoroughfares, and a portion of the secondary arterials as defined in the Circulation
Element of the City's General Plan; and the maintenance of landscaping on other City owned
properties. In addition, some benefit zones provide a source of funding for the maintenance of
improvements that are of local benefit. Currently there are twenty -one (21) special benefit
zones, lettered A through U (see Part C - Figure 4 — Zones of Benefit Map).
Parcels within these special benefit zones are assessed for the maintenance of local
improvements including but not limited to street lighting, landscaping, and site specific tree
maintenance. These improvements provide a special benefit to those parcels due to their nature
and location. In addition, to their proportionate share of the cost for the maintenance of these
local improvements, those parcels within a special benefit zone are also assessed for those
improvements designated as of Citywide benefit.
In response to Proposition 218, which was passed by the State of California voters on November
5,1996, and as now provided by California Constitution Article XIIID Section 5(a), this District
only finances the capital costs, maintenance and operation expenses for street lighting
(including traffic signals), public landscaping and street tree maintenance. All other public
maintenance (such as parks) that is not exempt from Proposition 218 has been removed from

this District. The City has determined that by removing the non - exempt costs, the remaining
improvements may continue to be paid for through the assessment district without being
subjected to the procedures and requirements of Proposition 218.
Based on the proceedings in Fiscal Year 1997 -98 and the provisions of Proposition 218, the
District is exempt from the requirements of Proposition 218, unless there is an increase in the
assessment rates.
Current Annual Administration
As required by the 1972 Act, the Engineer's Report includes: (1) a description of the
improvements to be operated, maintained and serviced by the District, (2) an estimated budget
for the District, and (3) a listing of the proposed Fiscal Year 2012 -13 assessments to be levied
upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City of Lake Elsinore will hold a Public Hearing on July 10, 2012, regarding the District
which will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of
the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the assessment rates as
originally proposed or as modified.
Payment of these annual assessments for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the
same time as payments are made for their annual property taxes. All funds collected through the
assessments must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated
within this Report.

Citywide Landscaping & Street Lighting District SECTION II
Fiscal Year 2012 -13 PART D
PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of
1972 (the "1972 Act "), permits the establishment of assessment districts by Agencies for the
purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the installation, construction,
maintenance, and operation of street lights and street landscaping.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according
to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
"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 benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the
improvements."
The 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment
district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the
various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Section 22574).
Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that publicly owned properties must be
assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special
benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public
streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, all
public easements and rights of way, public parks, greenbelts and parkways, public school
property, other public property, mineral rights, and designated open space.
The proper functioning of street lighting is imperative for the welfare and safety of the property
owners throughout the City. Proper operation, maintenance and servicing of a street lighting
system benefits properties by providing increased illumination for ingress and egress, safe
traveling at night, improved security, protection of property and the reduction in traffic
accidents.
When properly located and operated, traffic signals are an invaluable tool for the safe and
efficient movement of property owners and their vehicles throughout the City. Proper
operation, maintenance and servicing of a traffic signal system benefits properties by providing
efficient ingress and egress and safe traveling at night.
It has been determined that all properties within the City benefit from lighting and signalization
on Major Streets (please see Part A for a description of the improvements). The Major Streets
are used by vehicles emanating from all parcels throughout the City. Therefore, a proportional
share of the Citywide street lighting and traffic signalization costs are distributed to all parcels
in the City on an equitable basis.

Citywide Landscaping &z Street Lighting District SECTION II
Fiscal Year 2012 -13 PART D
In addition, the levels of service, relative to local lighting benefits, are broken down into six (6)
separate local lighting improvement areas as follows (please see Part A for a description):
• Westside Lighting - westside areas with street lights
• Eastside Lighting - eastside areas with street lights
• Midtown Lighting - midtown and southside areas with street lights
• Area "C" - street lights serving Tract 19402 Units 1 & 2
• Area "D" - street lights serving Tract 18719 Units 1- 5
• No lighting - street lights are spaced over 300 feet apart. In areas where there is
no lighting, there is no local benefit assessment levied.
The cost of street lights in these six (6) separate local lighting improvement areas are spread
equitably to the parcels within the improvement area.
If well maintained, trees, landscaping and hardscaping provide beautification, shade and the
enhancement of the desirability of the surroundings. These improvements provide special and
direct benefits to each property located within the District. Maintaining the street trees and
street medians protects the street from erosion, and trimming tree limbs keeps them from falling
into or blocking the roadway.
The City has landscaping improvements along the Arterial and Major Streets that include
medians, right of way frontage, wetlands, levees, and beaches. The costs of landscaping on the
Major Streets, are distributed to all parcels in the City on an equitable basis. Please see Part A of
this Report for a description of the improvements.
Costs associated with landscaping on Secondary Streets are spread both Citywide and to the
parcels that receive local benefits. Those costs are split evenly, half going to Citywide and the
other half to the Site Specific Landscape Area.
In addition to the Major Street landscaping area, there are Site Specific Landscaping Areas
which include nine (9) areas with specific local benefits due to landscaping. They are as
follows:
• Area "A" - landscaping along Machado Street at the Grand Avenue intersection
• Area "B" - landscaping along Madison & Garfield Streets
• Area "C" - landscaping in Tract 19402
• Area "D" - landscaping along Terra Cotta Road

facilities are apportioned in accordance with the methodology that is consistent with standard
assessment engineering practices. The method for distributing the costs to each parcel is based
on the Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) factor.

Citywide Landscaping &r Street Lighting District SECTION II
Fiscal Year 2012 -13 PART D
Since the assessment is levied on the owners of properties as shown on the tax rolls, the final
charges must be assigned by Assessor's Parcel Number. If assessments were to be distributed by
parcel, not considering land use, this would not be equitable, because a single - family parcel
would be paying the same as a 50 -unit apartment parcel or a large commercial establishment.
Therefore, as previously stated, the total assessment costs are distributed to each parcel of land
based on the number of EDUs associated with each particular parcel.
Developed Single Family Residential - The developed single family parcel has been selected as
the basic unit for calculation of the benefit assessments. This basic unit shall be called an
Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). Parcels designated as developed single family residential use
per the Riverside County land use code are assessed one (1.00) EDU.
Multiple Family Residential — Multi - family residential parcels, including mobile homes, are
adjusted in accordance with a multiple residential factor, determined by statistical proportion of
relative trip generation from various types of residential uses, in combination with population
density per unit. Studies have found that in multiple residential areas, the primary beneficiaries
of street lighting are the tenants rather than the property owners because of increased safety
and security. It was concluded that it is proper to "pass through" such an assessment to renters.
Therefore, although benefit assessments are normally property related, it is deemed valid to
equate a portion of the assessment methodology to the population density of the dwelling units.
Based on data from representative cities in Southern California, the multiple residential factor is
80 percent (0.80 EDU per unit). For example, a 100 unit apartment parcel would be assessed 80
times a single family unit parcel; rather than 100 times.
Condominiums /Apartments - Condominium and apartment parcels are adjusted in accordance
with the multiple residential factor of 80 percent (0.80 EDU per unit per parcel) because of the
high population density of the dwelling units.
Developed Commercial /Industrial - Developed commercial and industrial parcels are assessed
on the basis of the area of the parcel. Seven thousand two hundred and sixty (7,260) square feet
of land has been equated to one EDU based on the minimum lot size for single family parcels.
Therefore, commercial and industrial parcels are assessed 6.00 EDUs per acre. Commercial and
industrial parcels shall not be assessed less than a single family parcel, therefore each parcel will
be assessed a minimum of 1.00 EDU.
Nonprofit - Nonprofit parcels such as churches, private schools, private hospitals, YMCA, etc.
receive similar benefits compared to commercial parcels and are assessed at 6.00 EDUs per acre
and will be assessed a minimum of 1.00 EDUs.
Vacant - Vacant parcels include all vacant single family, multi - family, commercial, industrial
and agricultural lands. Assessments are adjusted by a factor of 20 percent. Up to and including
the first acre of vacant land is deemed equivalent to a single family residential lot and is
therefore assessed at 20% of a single family parcel or 0.20 EDUs (1.00 EDU * 20 %). Each
additional acre of vacant land is treated as land that can be subdivided or used for commercial or
industrial uses and is assigned EDUs at the rate of 1.20 EDUs per acre (6.00 EDUs per acre
20 %).

Citywide Landscaping &r Street Lighting District SECTION II
Fiscal Year 2012 -13 PART D
Utility - Public utility owned parcels such as office buildings, plants and yards receive similar
benefits compared to commercial parcels and are assessed at 6.00 EDUs per acre and will be
assessed a minimum of 1.00 EDUs.
In summary, Equivalent Dwelling Units have been determined to be as follows:
Single Family Residential
Multiple Residential,
Mobile Homes, Condominiums
Commercial/Industrial
(minimum of 1.00 EDU per parcel)
Vacant
(minimum of 0.20 EDU per parcel)
1 DU =1.00 EDU
1 DU = 0.80 EDU
1 AC = 6.00 EDU
1 AC = 0.20 EDU,
1.20 EDU /each addl acre
Therefore, as previously stated, the assessment amount is distributed by the number of dwelling
units on a parcel for residential parcels, and by the size of the parcel for non - residential parcels.
Table 3 below shows the Summary of EDU's by land use classification for the entire District.
BENEFIT ZONES
A system of zones, encompassing both street lighting and street landscaping levels of service,
has been developed. These zones, combined with an assigned land use based on the County -
assigned use code for each parcel, have been used as the methodology for spreading the
assessments to each parcel within the City.
The zones are as follows (See Figure 4 in Part C of this Report):

Backgound Information
The City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore approved the formation of Landscaping &t Street
Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 ( "District ") in 2003. The District was formed pursuant to
the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 ( "the 1972 Act ").
The District was formed to provide a source of funds for the operation, servicing, maintenance
and repair of landscaping, street lighting, public park, recreation facilities and appurtenant
facilities within the District. The Engineer's Report sets forth the methodology to be used in
apportioning the assessment to the different land use types and benefit zones within the City
based upon the benefit they receive.
The original District was formed in 2003, then several "benefit zones" were annexed into the
District in the following years. These benefit zones were established to ensure a source of funds
for the ongoing maintenance of street lighting improvements and public landscaping which are
of local benefit to the parcels within the benefit zone. Currently there are twenty -four (24)
Zones of Benefit that have been annexed into the District (see Part C - District Diagram).
Parcels within these special benefit zones are assessed their proportionate share of the cost for
the maintenance of local improvements including, but not limited to: street lighting,
landscaping, public park and recreation facilities. These improvements provide a special benefit
to those parcels due to their nature and location.
Current Annual Administration
As required by the 1972 Act, the Engineer's Report includes: (1) a description of the
improvements to be operated, maintained and serviced by the District, (2) an estimated budget
for the District, and (3) a listing of the proposed Fiscal Year 2012 -13 assessments to be levied
upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City of Lake Elsinore will hold a Public Hearing on July 10, 2012, regarding the District
which will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of
the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the assessment rates as
originally proposed or as modified.

Landscaping & Street Lighting Maintenance District No. l SECTION II
Fiscal Year 2012 -13 PART D
PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972
(the "1972 Act "), permits the establishment of assessment districts by Agencies for the purpose of
providing certain public improvements which include the installation, construction, operation,
maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and landscaping.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act 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 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 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment
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" based on the actual benefit rather than a "special tax."
In addition, Proposition 218, the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which was approved on the
November 1996 Statewide ballot and added Article XIIID to the California Constitution, requires
that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit
conferred on that parcel. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City
must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. Article XIIID also requires that publicly
owned property which benefits from the improvements be assessed.
REASON FOR THE ASSESSMENT
The assessment is proposed to be levied to pay for the costs of the construction, maintenance and
servicing of landscaping, street lighting and appurtenant improvements within the District.
SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Street Landscaping, Slopes and Greenbelts - Trees, landscaping, hardscape and appurtenant
facilities, if well maintained, provide beautification, shade and enhancement of the desirability of the
surroundings, and therefore increase property value.
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..."

Landscaping &r Street Lighting Maintenance District No. l SECTION lI
Fiscal Year 2012 -13 PART D
It should be noted that the definition of "parkways" above may include the roadway as well as the
landscaping along side the roadway.
The ongoing operation and maintenance of the street landscaping, slopes and greenways within the
individual district, as identified in Part A of this Report, provide beautification to the areas that
results in a special benefit to the parcels within the tracts adjacent to the improvements. If these
landscaped areas were not properly maintained, the tract would be blighted.
The City of Lake Elsinore considers the maintenance and upkeep of parkways and adjacent slopes to
be the responsibility of the adjacent development due to the added beautification of the local
community which extends to the perimeter of the development.
Street Lighting - Proper maintenance and operation of the streetlights benefit all properties within
the District by providing security, safety and community character and vitality as outlined below.
Streetlights provide only incidental benefits to motorists traveling to, from or through the area.
BENEFITS OF STREET LIGHTING
Security and Safety Community Character and Vitality
• Mitigates crime • Promotes social interaction
• Alleviates the fear of crime • Promotes business and industry
• Enhances safe ingress /egress to property a Contributes to a positive nighttime visual image
Improvements that provide a special benefit to an isolated group of parcels of land located within the
District are considered to be a localized benefit, and the costs associated with these improvements
are assessed to all assessable parcels receiving the localized benefit. Localized benefits include the
construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements that only benefit the
parcels located within the localized areas.
Localized Improvements — Parcels that have localized landscaping such as entryway landscaping,
parkway landscaping, etc. and street lighting adjacent to or near their parcels directly benefit from
the improvements and are assessed for the costs of the localized improvements.
ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The maximum annual maintenance assessments shall be increased each year by 2 %. 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.
To establish the special benefit to the individual parcels within the District, an Equivalent Dwelling
Unit system is used. Each parcel of land is assigned Equivalent Dwelling Units (`EDUs ") in
proportion to the estimated special benefit the parcel receives relative to the other parcels within the
District from landscaping and/or streetlights
The single- family detached (SFD) residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for
calculation of assessments; therefore, the SFD residential parcel is defined as one Equivalent
Dwelling Unit (1 EDU). A methodology has been developed to relate all other land uses within each
zone to the SFD residential land use as described below. Unless otherwise stated, the following is
the methodology.

Landscaping &t Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 SECTION II
Fiscal Year 2012 -13 PART D
EaufvvYentDWe&nn Units
Single Family Detached (SFD) - The SFD residential lots benefit equally from the improvements
being maintained and are therefore each assigned 1 EDU.
Condominiums - Condominiums will be assessed equivalent to a SFD residential lot; therefore 1
EDU per unit.
Multi - Family Residential (Apartments) - Multi - family residential parcel equivalencies are
determined by multiplying the number of dwelling units on each parcel by 0.75, due to the relative
population density of this type of dwelling unit and reduced unit size compared to the typical
density and size of an SFD. Studies have consistently shown that the average apartment unit
impacts infrastructure approximately 75% as much as a single - family residence. (Sources: Institute
of Transportation Engineers Informational Report Trip Generation, Fifth Edition, 1991; Metcalf &t
Eddy, Wastewater Engineering Treatment, Disposal, Reuse, Third Edition, 1991). Trip generation
and wastewater usage are a function of population density. Based on this, it is concluded that other
infrastructure will be similarly impacted at a reduced level. The smaller average unit size of
multiple - residential parcels result in a lesser enhancement per unit to property values. Therefore,
multi - family residential parcels are assessed 0.75 EDUs per unit.
Developed Non - Residential (Non -Res) - Developed non - residential properties are defined as
improved commercial, industrial and institutional properties (such as school property or churches).
In converting these properties to EDUs, the size of the parcels are compared to the average size of an
SFD residential lot, which is 7,260 square feet. This equals approximately 6 SFD lots per acre of land.
Therefore, developed non - residential parcels are assigned EDUs at a rate of 6 EDUs per acre.
Vacant /Parks - Based upon the opinions of professional appraisers, appraising current market
property values for real estate in Southern California, the land value portion of a property typically
ranges from 20 to 30 percent of the property's total value. Additionally, the utilization of vacant
property is significantly less than improved property and vacant property has a traffic generation
rate of 0. Therefore, vacant parcels will be assessed at the rate of 25% of Non - Residential properties,
or 1.5 EDU per acre or any portion thereof.
Open Space - Parcels designated as open space do not receive special benefits from the
improvements and are therefore exempt from the assessment.

BENEFIT ZONES
A system of zones, encompassing both street lighting and street landscaping levels of service,
has been developed. These zones, combined with an assigned land use based on the County -
assigned use code for each parcel, have been used as the methodology for spreading the
assessments to each parcel within the City.

There are 133 SFD parcels equaling 133 EDUs within this zone. The table below provides the FY
2012 -13 assessment apportionment for Zone 1.

Zone 4
There are 233 SFD parcels equaling 233 EDUs within this zone. In addition to the landscaping and
street lighting maintenance, there is a park maintenance component in this zone.
Types ofBenefit for Park Maintenance
Within the Serenity development (Zone 4) boundary is a 9.52 acre neighborhood park. As a
condition of development, the developer must provide for the on -going operation and maintenance of
the landscaping improvements for said park.
Development Benefit
All 233 parcels within the development were classified as having a development benefit, since the
creation of this funding mechanism satisfies a condition of approval for the development.
Service Benefit
A neighborhood park, by definition, is a park of typically 5 to 20 acres in size and serving an area
from N mile up to;i mile distance, which is generally within walking distance of the park. The park
within the Zone 4 boundary is small in size (less than 10 acres); therefore a service area radius of 1/4
mile is used for the service benefit. All parcels within Zone 4 that are in the 1/4 mile radius will be

assessed for service benefit, in addition to the development benefit, due to their proximity to the
park. Therefore, 158 parcels within the development receive the service benefit.
General Benefit
Parcels that are within the V4 mile radius but not within the District boundaries are considered to
receive general, rather than special, benefit and are therefore not assessed. There are 54 parcels
equaling 165.28 EDUs of general benefit, for a total general benefit contribution of $6,612.30.
The table below provides the FY 2012 -13 assessment apportionment for Zone 4.
Zone 5
