• Act
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 landscape improvements and related facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of
these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
Section 22573 defines the net amount to be assessed as follows:
iWAN WAIWA9 W`� - -4 A` A"
eirf lim
in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the
improvements. "
Section 22574 provides •r zones as follows:
"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.

The formulas used for calculating assessments and the designation of zones herein reflect the

within tte District.
Article X111 D Section 2d 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 X1 II D Section 2i 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."

'An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify a# parcels which will have a
special berrefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The
proportionate special benefit derived by each Jdandried 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. "
Likewise, street lighting in the District is primarily useful for illuminating the streets that provide
access to the properties in the District as well as the sidewalks and parking lanes associated with
those properties. While it is recognized that both street lights and traffic signals serve in part to
enhance traffic safety, the installation and construction of these improvements are clearly required
by the development of properties within the District and these improvements provide three main
special benefits to those properties: (i) property security benefit, (ii) pedestrian safety benefit, and
(iii) parkwaytroadway egress benefit. Furthermore, because traffic circulation in the City is largely
the result of local traffic to and from these properties by the property owners and guests, it Is
reasonable to assume that these properties derive a particular and distinct benefit from the street
lights and traffic signals that support the safe access to the properties and essentially all
pedestrians and parking vehicles in the lit areas will, after dark, be directly associated with the
assessed properties. As a result, the maintenance of these lighting improvements is a particular
and distinct benefit to the properties and developments within each Zone.

Other Landscaping General Benerits
In addition to the general benefit identified above, it is recognized that there are indirect or
dental general benefits to properties within the District as well as the general public that are
,-ssociated with regular landscape maintenance services, including:
� Minimization of dust and debris; and

all Z+�i �!!: I ill Ill :;: , i
Although these types of benefits might best be characterized as indirect consequences of the
special benefits of the landscape maintenance provided to assessed parcels, for the purposes of
calculating proportional benefits, we assume these types of benefits to be general benefits. It is
apparent that trees, shrubs, plants, and other vegetation and groundcover reduce dust, debris,
and potential water runoff that might otherwise occur if such landscape improvements did not
exist. However, it is also recognized that with the regular maintenance of the landscape
improvements, the effort and cost to monitor and address these issues are reduced to isolated
areas and/or less frequent servicing, and these activities, generally represent less than two
percent (2%) of the overall landscape maintenance costs. Therefore, conservatively, we estimate
that the costs associated with these indirect and incidental benefits do not exceed two percent
(2%) of the annual maintenance expenditures for the landscaping improvements.

Together with the baseline general benefit costs and the indirectlincidental general benefit costs
identified above, it is reasonable to conclude that the overall general benefit costs associated with
the various District/Zone landscape improvements is less than seven percent (7%) of the regular
annual maintenance expenditures. These general benefit costs shall be excluded from the special
benefit assessment funding and not assessed to the parcels within District. However, to ensure
that no parcel is assessed for more than its proportional special benefit for local landscaping
improvements, for fiscal year 2023/2024 the City will contribute for general benefit an arnount
equal to ten percent (10%) of the estimated Annual Maintenance Expenditures and Administration
Expenses budgeted for Zone L.

Therefore, based on these observations, to ensure that no parcel is assessed for more than its

Every parcel within the District is assigned a land use classification based on available parcel
information obtained from the County Assessor's Office. To assess benefits equitably it is
necessary to calculate each property's relative share of the special benefits conferred by the
funded improvements and service. The method of apportionment originally developed for this
District was based on assessment formulas appropriate for the various land uses, identifiable
property characteristics and improvements within the District and utilizes the number of
comparative dwelling units or dwelling spaces for other residential land uses and comparative lot
sizes (acreage) for developed non-residential properties. A parcel use and size are the
appropriate factors necessary to identify and calculate the proportional special benefits conveyed
to each property within the District for the cost of improvements associated with that property.

The parcels within each District Zone consist of all lots, parcels, and subdivisions of land within
the boundaries as depicted by these diagrams and shall consist of and be dictated by the lines
and dimensions as those lots, parcels and subdivisions of land shown on the Los Angeles County
Assessors parcel maps for the current year and by reference the Los Angeles County Assessor's
parcel maps are incorporated herein and made part of this Report. The following diagrams show
the boundaries of the District Lighting Zones 1, 2, 5, and 6, and Landscaping Zone L for fiscal
year 2023/2024. The Safety Lights and Traffic Signals Zone 3 is coterminous with the City
boundary as well as Landscaping Zone L and therefore not depicted herein as a separate
diagram. For fiscal year 2023/2024 there are no parcels currently designated as Lighting Zone 4
so there is no diagram provided for that Zone, Collectively, these diagrams along with the
Assessment Roll incorporated in this Report constitute the District Assessment Diagram for fiscal
year 2023/2024.
