FISCAL YEAR 201 W2016 i Direct assessments in Zone I are distributed based on the special benefit each property receives. Streets within this zone have been improved with mid -block lighting. Since streets provide vehicular and pedestrian access to properties, the special benefit is apportioned based on the amount of these trips generated by each parcel. The Institute of Transportation Engineers has established a standard of trip generation that states that multiple dwelling units generate less pedestrian and vehicle trips than single family homes. Therefore, parcels with denser housing are assessed at a lesser rate per dwelling unit in general proportion to the trips generated. This basis provides an equitable relationship to the benefit received. I=.. Density (No. of No. of Dwelling _ Rate Total D.U. per Parcel ) Parcels Units D.U. $ /D.U.
