SUBJECT: LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1
FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 ASSESSMENT ENGINEER'S REPORT
LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 (hereinafter referred to as "District"), described herein, has been formed in accordance C hapter 15.01 of the Code of the City of Culver City, California.
Landscaping Maintenance District No. 1, consisting of certain public property and the real property within the District subject to assessment, is shown on maps consisting of two pages which have been filed in the Office of the City Clerk on May 21, 1979; April 21, 1980; April 12, 1982, and April 11, 1983; and by this reference are made a part hereof (pages 10 and 11).
Landscaping and Irrigation System Plans
The landscaping maintenance areas were constructed in several phases and improved with irrigation systems. The initial improvements for Zone 1 (Studio Estates) were constructed by a developer in accordance with approved plans under separate bonded agreement. The plans for the initial improvements for Zone 1 consist of landscaping plans, Drawing No. 5024 -39g (one sheet) approved January 21, 1980, and landscape irrigation system plans, Drawing No. 4024 -39g (two sheets) approved January 3, 1979.
Zone 2 was disbanded by the City Council in August 2010.
Performance of Maintenance by City Forces and/or Contractor
The maintenance of the improvements is provided by City of Culver City forces and/or maintenance contractors through contracts awarded by the City, and the costs thereof shall be assessed to the benefiting properties within the District.
Parcel Assessments Based Upon Benefit Received
It is proposed to assess the total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the landscaped areas to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by such parcels of real property. The assessments of such costs commenced upon acceptance of the improvements by the City of Culver City and the commencement of maintenance. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the attached assessment roll.
Method of Assessment
The District consists of all the lots in Tracts 34390, 34371, 36218, eight of the nine lots of Tract 33484, and thirty -one of the thirty-two lots of Tract 28805, all of which derive an equal benefit from the Zone 1 landscaping. The assessments will be spread in accordance with the following formula.
Zone 1 Annual Rate Per Parcel =
Estimated Cost of Maintenance and Administration for Zone 1
Divided by:
Number of Parcels in Zone 1
Annual Assessment Calculation
The annual assessment shall be calculated by taking into account the following:
A. The total cost of constructing or installing all proposed improvements and maintaining and servicing all existing and proposed improvements, including all incidental expenses.
B. The amount of any surplus or deficit in the District Fund to be carried over from the previous fiscal year.
C. The amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to District assessment proceedings.
D. The amount, if any, of the annual installment for an assessment ordered by the City Council wherein the estimated cost of any improvements shall be levied and collected in annual installments.
E. The net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District shall be the total maintenance and improvement costs, as referred to in A., above, increased or decreased, as the case may be, by any of the amounts referred to in B., C., or D., above.
F. Item B above may specify individual parcels within a zone that did not receive notice of or pay assessments levied by the City Council, and which assessments are carried over and added to the assessments for the current fiscal year for each such specified parcel.
Recommended Assessment:
On July 13, 2009, the members of the District approved by majority ballot an annual increase to the assessment levy based on the February Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles – Riverside - Orange County area plus a 5% premium each year until a positive fund balance is restored.
Staff is proposing that the City Council approve the existing annual assessment district levy at $252.13 for a total amount of $45,383.40 (180 parcels) for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
The proposed assessment and individual assessments to the District are shown in EXHIBITS A and B, respectively.
Respectfully submitted,
