PAGE OF "4 v SECTION I INTRODUCTION ENGINEER'S REPORT CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE CITYWIDE LANDSCAPE & STREET LIMITING DISTRICT Fiscal Year 1993 -94 The City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore approved the formation of an Assessment District with 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 District was formed to provide a source of funds for the installation, servicing, maintenance, repair and operation of landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities within the District. The boundaries of the District are coincident with the boundaries of the City. As such, annexations to the jurisdictional boundaries of the City will also result in annexation to the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District. The Engineer's Report which was approved by the City Council when the District was formed and as amended, 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. At the time the District was formed, several benefit zones were established. Citywide benefit zones were established to insure a source of funds for the ongoing maintenance of landscaping and lighting improvements which are of benefit to all parcels or lots within the City. This includes landscaping and street lighting along major thoroughfares, and a portion of the secondary arterials as defined in the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan and on other City owned properties. In addition, several special benefit zones were established to provide a source of funding for the maintenance of improvements which are of local benefit. Currently there are twenty-one (21) special benefit zones, lettered A through U (see Appendix A, Figure 1 - Zone Map). Parcels or lots within these special benefit zones are assessed for the maintenance of local improvements including but not limited to tree maintenance, site specific street lighting and site specific landscaping. 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. n:ponsVekc1sin\11 d9394.wk m L ^.

PAOE--OQO OF H, 0 As required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, this Engineer's Report describes the improvements to be maintained by the District for FY 1993 -94, provides an estimated budget by benefit zone, and lists the proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District. Following the approval of this report, either as submitted or as modified, the City Council will need to hold a Public Hearing to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. If assessments are proposed to be increased for FY 1993 -94, a notice must be sent by first class mail to each property owner whose assessment would increase 45 days prior to the public hearing. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council must adopt a resolution confirming the levy of assessments as originally proposed or as modified. Following the adoption of this resolution, the final assessor's roll will be prepared and filed with the County Assessor's office to be included on the tax roll for FY 1993 -94. mpotu \1&kc1sin \11md9394.&ck 2 z..

No detailed plans and specifications are provided herein. Street lighting improvements include but are not limited to: the current payments to Southern California Edison Company for electrical energy, installation, maintenance, and operation of the approximately 1,240 total lights, of which 1,129 lights are owned by Edison Company and approximately 111 lights are owned by the City. Landscaping improvements include but are not limited to: irrigation, cultivation, installation and replacement of plant material, tree trimming, and other necessary supplies; personnel, utility, and equipment costs; contract services where applicable; care and maintenance of approximately five (5) acres of beaches, fifty -two (52) acres of parks, and approximately four (4) acres of roadscapes. nponaUakebinW md9394.eck *F X. T AGENDA ITEMI NO PAGE, OF o 5 PART U ESTIMATE OF COST The 1993 -94 fiscal year expenditures (or costs) for the proposed district are estimated as follows: The City is currently paying for the operation of approximately 1,240 street lights; 111 are City-owned lights and 1,129 are utility-owned lights. It has been determined that there are 57 City-owned lights and 447 Edison lights on major streets in the City. It has been determined that all properties within the City benefit from lighting on major streets; therefore, a proportional share of the cost would be spread to all parcels in the City. It has further been determined that street lights on secondary streets benefit all properties within the City and adjacent local benefit areas. Therefore, these costs are split evenly, half going to citywide lighting and the other half to local lighting benefit areas. Therefore, the total amounts to be spread for the Citywide direct benefit of street lighting and for each of the level of services are as follows: CITYWIDE LIGHTING TO BE SPREAD: Light Expenses = Administrative Costs = Total Citywide Light Expenses = WESTSIDE AREA LIGHTING TO BE SPREAD: Light Expenses = MID-TOWN AREA LIGHTING TO BE SPREAD: Light Expenses = AREA "C" LIGHTING TO BE SPREAD: Light Expenses = AREA "D" LIGHTING TO BE SPREAD: Light Expenses = EASTSIDE AREA LIGHTING TO BE SPREAD Light Expenses = npomWkc1sinV1md939 4.ack $ 75,210.00 29.600.00- $104,810.00 $ 47,160.00 $ 30,430.00 $ 3,210.00 $ 8,950.00 $ 6,030.00 I is r AGENDA ITEM NO.

It is considered that park landscaping and beaches benefits all properties within the City; therefore, a proportional share of the cost would be spread to all parcels in the City whether or not there is local landscaping. The cost of local landscaping would be spread to those areas which have a local benefit from the landscaping. The total amount to be spread for the Citywide direct benefit of landscaping and for local site - specific areas of landscaping are as follows: CITYWIDE DIRECT BENEFIT LANDSCAPING TO BE SPREAD: Citywide Direct Benefit = $608,870.00 Administrative Costs = 119.600.00 Total Citywide Landscaping Expenses $7289470.00 SITE - SPECIFIC LANDSCAPING AREAS TO BE SPREAD: AREA A = $ 2,200.00 AREA B = 14,340.00 AREA C = 2,710.00 AREA D = 1,260.00 AREA E = 2,100.00 AREA F = 370.00 AREA G = 2,590.00 AREA H = 5,340.00 AREA I = 0 Total Site - Specific Landscaping Expenses $ 30,910.00 TREE MAINTENANCE AREAS TO BE SPREAD: AREA 1 = $ 5,830.00 AREA 2 = 29,350.00 AREA 3 = 16,110.00 AREA 4 = 2,640.00 AREA 5 = 1.600.00 Total Tree Maintenance Landscaping Expenses $ 55,530.00 The total amount required for landscaping assessment in the 1993 -94 fiscal year is $814,910.00. mponellekelsinWmd9394.eek AGENDA ITEM jN�O. �` PAGE _L OF O, 7 ASSESSMENT ROLL The proposed assessment and the amount of assessment for Fiscal Year 1993 -94 apportioned to each lot or parcel, as shown on the latest roll at the Assessor's Office are appended herein and submitted separately as Appendix C of the City of Lake Elsinore Engineer's Report for Citywide Landscape & Street Lighting District, Fiscal Year 1993 -94.

PAGE OF-40 _ PART IV METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT MMEVF:qklti Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which includes installation, construction, and maintenance and operation of streetlights and landscaping. The 1972 Act requires that the assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. Section 22573 provides that: "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 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" (S&H 22547). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax." Excepted from the assessment would be the areas of all public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, all public easements and rights of way, all public parks, greenbelts and parkways and all public school property, other public property, and designated open space. Public utility owned properties would be included in the assessment district and assessed in accordance with benefits received. • ._��LVNMCaml Since the assessment will be 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 spread by parcel in various zones, 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 in a similar zone. mpon.

PARE ZQ OF C It has been determined that the residential parcels will be assessed by the number of dwelling units on each parcel; commercial and industrial property by the area of the parcel. The single family parcel has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of the assessments. Parcels of other land uses are reduced to Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU), in the manner described below: 1. Multiple Residential parcels, including mobile homes, are adjusted in accordance with a multiple residential factor, determined by statistical proportion of relative trip generation from various type of residential uses, in combination with population density per unit. A recent study by the City of Santa Monica has 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. For example, a 100 - unit apartment parcel would be assessed 80 times a single family unit parcel; rather than 100 times. 2. Condominium parcels are adjusted in accordance with the multiple residential factor of 80 percent because of the high population density of the dwelling units. 3. Commercial and Industrial parcels are assessed on the basis of the area of the parcel. Seven thousand two hundred (7,200) square feet of land has been equated to one EDU based on the minimum lot size for single family parcels. Therefore, one acre is equivalent to 6 EDU. 4. Nonprofit or Property Tax Exempt parcels such as churches, private schools, private hospitals, boys' clubs, womens' clubs, YMCA, etc., receive equal benefits from this type of district and are assessed. 5. Public Utility Owned parcels such as office buildings, plants and yards will be assessed the same as other similar land uses. 6. Vacant parcel assessments are adjusted by a factor of 20 percent. All vacant parcels will receive 0.2 EDUs for the first acre and 1.2 EDUs (6 * 0.2) for each additional acre. mpom\IakaltinW md9394.ack iY i� z�. AGENDA ITEM NO. e PAGE Aa--L- OF-10L C In summary, Equivalent Dwelling Units have been determined to be as follows: Single Family Residential 1 DU = 1 EDU Multiple Residential, 1 DU = 0.8 EDU Mobile Homes, Condominiums Commercial/Industrial 1 AC = 6 EDU (minimum of 1 EDU per parcel) Agricultural 1 AC = 6 EDU (minimum of 1 EDU per parcel) Vacant 1 AC = 0.2 EDU, (minimum of 0.2 EDU per parcel) 1.2 EDU /each add'l acre. Therefore, as previously stated, it is proposed to spread assessments by the number of dwelling units on a parcel in residential areas, and by the area of the parcel in commercial and industrial areas. G IM _ 111 * : _ el_ I A portion of the benefits for certain improvements may be spread over all parcels of the City on an equitable basis. This applies to street lighting on major streets, since vehicles emanating from all parcels throughout the City use these streets and receive a benefit from the additional safety and security provided by the lights. The cost of street lights on secondary streets are split evenly, half going to Citywide and the other half going to local lighting benefit areas based upon levels of service. The balance of the street lighting costs, which are spread as a benefit assessment to parcels, depend upon levels of service. The levels of service, relative to local lighting benefits, are broken down into six separate categories: Westside Lighting - westside areas with street lights Eastside Lighting - eastside areas with street lights Midtown Lighting - midtown and southside areas with street lighting.

The costs of landscaping on major streets, parks and beaches, are spread as a Citywide direct benefit assessment to all parcels. 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. The landscaping costs on the remaining streets are spread to all parcels in the neighborhoods with local benefits. Major streets are defined as Arterial (110') and Major Streets (100') per City of Lake Elsinore General Plan, they are: Highway 74, Lakeshore Drive, Main Street, Riverside Drive, Robb Road, Grand Avenue, Mission Trail, Railroad Canyon Road, and Coryden Street. Per the "City of Lake Elsinore General Plan 1992 Land Use Map" the following existing streets are classified as secondary (88'): Machado Street from Grand Avenue to Lakeshore Drive, Dexter Avenue, Sixth Avenue from Casino Drive to Lakeshore Drive, Terra Cotta Road from Lakeshore Drive to Nichols Road, Lincoln Street from Lakeshore Drive to Nichols Road, Lincoln Street from Grand Avenue to Riverside Drive, Lincoln from Machado Street to Shore Cliff Drive, Chaney Street from Lakeshore Drive to Dexter Avenue, Graham Avenue from Lakeshore Drive to Main Street Summerhill Drive from Railroad Canyon Road to Riverside Street, Pottery Street from Main Street to Franklin Avenue, and Grape Street. The remaining City streets are classified below the secondary street level. There are nine areas with specific local benefits due to landscaping. They are as follows: Area "A" - landscaping along Machado 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 Area "E" - landscaping in Tract 19344 - Serenity Area "F" - landscaping along Summerhill Drive Area "G" - landscaping along east side of Machado Street between Lincoln and Lakeshore Area "H" - landscaping at Orange Grove Way Area "I" - landscaping along Lincoln Avenue mponiUake1z1nU1md9394."ck hL :F AGENDA ITEM NO.

MEEFT957-57 wkemwi A system of zones, encompassing both street lighting and 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, has been used as the methodology for spreading the assessments to each parcel within the City.
