there will be no increase in the assessment calculations This
can be achieved by having no CIP Projects or Capital Outlay
appropriations.

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.

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.

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:

The total amount required for street lighting assessment in the 1993 -94 fiscal year is
$200,590.00.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

The costs of the Assessment District's incidental expenses are spread as a Citywide
direct benefit assessment.
The costs for the maintenance of trees in designated areas are spread to the parcels
that receive local benefit. See Appendix A, Figure 4 - Tree Maintenance Areas, for
the delineation of the five tree maintenance zones.

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. The County- assigned
use codes and a brief description of them are shown in Appendix B.
The zones are as follows (See Appendix A, Figures 1-4):
ZONE A - Major street lighting and Citywide direct landscape benefits
only.
