2. INTRODUCTION
Reason for Annual Assessment
Approval of the assessments covered by this Annual Report will generate the revenue necessary to provide for the ongoing maintenance and servicing of the various improvements, more particularly described for each LMD throughout this Annual Report.
Maintenance activities may include but are not limited to, all of the following: the repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement; providing for the life, growth, health and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing or treating for disease or injury; the removal of trimming, rubbish, debris and other solid waste; the cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.
Servicing means the furnishing of: electric current or energy, gas or other illuminating agent for any lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements, and water for the irrigation of any landscaping, the operation of any fountains, or water need for any other improvements.
Incidental expenses may include but are not limited to all of the following: the costs of preparation of the annual report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram and assessment calculations; the costs of printing, advertising, and the giving of published, posted, and mailed notices; compensation payable to San Joaquin County (“County”) for the collection of assessments; compensation to any engineer or attorney employed to render services in proceedings pursuant to the 1972 Act; any other expenses incidental to the maintenance and servicing of the improvements; and costs associated with any proceedings held for the approval of a new or increased assessment. Incidental expenses also include costs related to project management as well as costs of the City related to the administration of each LMD including legal fees, accounting, finance, and insurance costs.
Process for the Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments in the LMDs without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, a report must be prepared which contains plans and specifications for the improvements, an estimate of the costs of maintaining and servicing the improvements, a diagram of the district, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the district.
Same or Less than the Maximum Annual Assessment
If the annual assessment is to be levied at the same or a lesser amount than the approved maximum annual assessment amount, the City Clerk shall give notice of a public hearing by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the annual report, including changes in the improvements, any zones within a district, the proposed diagram, or the proposed assessment.
ATTACHMENT 2
City of Manteca
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance Districts 4 The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of the assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the annual report.
Increased Maximum Annual Assessment
If the annual assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum annual assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIIID and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIIID to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be increased above the already approved maximum annual assessment, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed increase in such assessment.
Article XIIID provides that if, as a result of the assessment ballot proceeding, a majority protest is found to exist, the City Council shall not have the authority to levy and collect the increased assessments as proposed. A majority protest exists if the assessments represented by assessment ballots submitted in opposition exceed those submitted in favor of the assessment. All returned assessment ballots are tabulated and weighted according to the financial obligation of each particular parcel.
If there is no majority protest as described above, the City Council may approve the proposed assessment increase. If there is a majority protest, as described above, the City will not levy and collect the increased assessments, but may levy and collect an assessment that does not exceed the maximum annual assessment previously approved during prior proceedings.
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Assessment
The Fiscal Year 2025/26 assessments described in this Annual Report are not proposed to exceed each LMDs previously approved maximum annual assessment, plus annual escalations to the maximum annual assessment that were approved at the time each of the LMDs were formed.
Plans and Specifications
The boundaries for each LMD, as well as the specific plans and specifications related to the continued maintenance, operations, servicing, and administration of the various improvements are detailed in each LMD’s dedicated section of this Annual Report. There are no proposed new improvements or any substantial changes in the existing improvements within the boundaries of each LMD.
Definition of Budgeted Items
The definitions for the direct costs for each LMD are provided in each LMD’s specific section of the Annual Report. In addition to the defined direct costs specific to each LMD, there are indirect costs related to the ongoing administration and operating reserve collection. Those budgeted indirect cost items for all of the City’s LMDs are defined as follows.
ATTACHMENT 2
City of Manteca
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance Districts 5 Administration Costs:
Personnel/Overhead: Includes the cost of all particular departments and City staff for providing the coordination of LMD services, inspections, annual bid management, operations and maintenance of the improvements, responses to public concerns, public education, and procedures associated with the levy and collection of assessments.
Consultants: Includes the cost associated with contracting with professionals to provide services specific to the administration of the annual assessment levy. This includes the preparation of reports, resolutions, and other documents; as well as transmitting assessment amounts to the County on an annual basis.
Professional Fees: Includes the cost of contracting with professionals to provide any additional administrative, legal, or engineering services specific to each LMD.
County Administration Fee: Includes the actual cost to each LMD for the County to collect the assessments on the property tax bills and remit the assessment collections to the City. The County charges 1% of the levy, not to exceed $3.00 per parcel for placing the assessments on the tax roll. The County deducts their administration fee prior to remitting the funds to the City.
Miscellaneous Expenses: Includes additional administrative costs not collected in an above category.
Rounding Adjustment: Includes the amount necessary to round each property’s annual assessment to an even penny, which is required for County tax roll submittal.
Operating Reserve Collection:
Operating Reserve Collection: Includes the amount collected to maintain a reserve that enables the City to pay for LMD costs incurred during the first six months of the fiscal year or until the City receives the first apportionment of assessment revenue from the County. The operating reserve will be funded and maintained through the annual collection of assessments.

3. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Legal Considerations
Proposition 218
Proposition 218, the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” was approved by California voters in 1996, which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California State Constitution. The primary results of Proposition 218 were stricter definitions of assessments, special taxes, fees, and charges, and a general mandate for some type of voter approval for any new or increased assessment, tax, or property-related fee. The Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act (“Implementation Act”) was approved July 1, 1997. The Implementation Act provided for procedures throughout the notice, protest, and hearing process. This Annual Report has been prepared to be consistent with current practices and the California State Constitution.
Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Examples of public parcels that could be exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, and public parkways.
The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218 requires an engineer to separate the general benefit from special benefit, with only special benefit being assessed. 1972 Act
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIIID, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of the improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements and services. The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing maintenance and operation of certain improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and lighting improvements.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
"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 determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 (commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California])." ATTACHMENT 2
City of Manteca
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance Districts 7 The 1972 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" (Section 22547).
Special Benefit
Pursuant to Article XIIID of the California Constitution, Section 2(i) “Special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above the 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.” All parcels that have special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operations of the improvements and services provided shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire cost of the maintenance and operations of the improvements and services.
In accordance with Article XIIID Section 4(a) “No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
The maintenance and servicing of the LMD improvements (detailed in each LMD’s section of this Annual Report) are for the benefit of the properties within the LMD, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to the parcels within each LMD. Some of the maintenance and servicing of the LMD improvements special benefits include, but are not limited to:
Enhanced lighting fixtures;
Masonry walls and monument signs within and around each LMD; Direct labor;
Electricity and water for irrigation systems;
Park irrigation wells;
Portions of the bike path that includes enhanced landscaping and furniture beyond the pathway – applicable only to LMDs where bike paths are included;
Landscaping in public areas within and around the LMD; and Park and basin landscaping – applicable only to LMDs where park and basin landscaping is included.
A district is enhanced when the public improvements dedicated for that area are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean, and maintained. Conversely, the enhancement of a district decreases when public improvements are unsafe or are destroyed by the elements or vandalism. The ongoing maintenance and servicing of the improvements provide the following special benefits to property within each LMD:
Enhanced Community Image - The improvements provide beautification, shade and enhancement to properties, which creates a sense of community for the parcels within each LMD. The sense of community is further enhanced since the improvements within each LMD are intended to serve the property and residents within the boundaries of each LMD. Increased Desirability - The maintained improvements increase the livability, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of each LMD due to their location and proximity to ATTACHMENT 2
City of Manteca
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance Districts 8 the parcels being assessed. Well-maintained landscaping improvements make the property within each LMD appear to be more stable and prosperous.
Increased Aesthetics and Safety – The regular and ongoing maintenance and service activities ensures that the improvements within each LMD do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties. Additionally, well maintained areas mitigate crime, especially vandalism, and enhance safety.
To further ensure the ongoing special benefits provided to property from the maintenance and servicing of improvements, the revenue generated from the assessments can only be used to pay for those items that contribute towards the plans and specifications outlined for each LMD. The assessment revenue provides a dedicated funding source that can only be used for the ongoing maintenance activities as set forth in the approved engineer’s formation report for each LMD.
Background Information
Studies in a number of communities, including counties and cities throughout the United States, have indicated that recreation areas and facilities, if well maintained and wisely administered, have caused a marked increase in the property desirability of parcels in the community. Consequently, such recreation and park facilities have proved a potent factor in maintaining a sound economic condition and a high standard of livability in the community. These studies confirm the opinion long held by planning authorities as to the economic value of open space, greenbelts, parks and other recreational facilities within a community.
"Recreation and park amenities are central components in establishing the quality of life in a community. ... [Businesses’] main resource is their employees for whom quality of life is an important issue… The availability and attractiveness of local parks and programs influences some companies’ relocation decisions. ...the presence of a park encourages real estate development around it.... "(California Parks & Recreation, Winter 1997).
Street trees, landscaping, hardscaping, and appurtenant facilities within and adjacent to communities, if well maintained, provide beautification, shade, and enhance the desirability of the surroundings, and therefore increase property desirability. A publication by the United States Department of Agriculture (Forestry Report R8-FR 71) found that:
“Community trees provide subtle but real economic benefits. The value of houses on lots with trees is usually higher than those of comparable houses on lots without trees. Studies have shown that shoppers linger longer along a shaded avenue than on one barren of trees. Shaded thoroughfares are not only more physically comfortable but also psychologically more attractive. And an abundance of trees "says something" about a community that makes it more appealing to newcomers as well as residents.” As a result of the improvements and services provided by each LMD, the overall “livability” of each LMD increases. “Livability” encompasses several qualities and characteristics that are unique to a specific area.
The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (www.vtpi.org) expands on the concept of “livability” and the various benefits associated with that designation:
ATTACHMENT 2
City of Manteca
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance Districts 9 “The livability of an area increases property desirability and business activity. Livability is largely affected by conditions in the public realm, places where people naturally interact with each other and their community, including streets, parks, transportation terminals and other public facilities. Livability also refers to the environmental and social quality of an area as perceived by employees, customers and visitors. This includes local environmental conditions, the quality of social interactions, opportunities for recreation and entertainment, aesthetics, and existence of unique cultural and environmental resources.”
To that end, “aesthetic benefits” received by the properties contribute to the character and image of each LMD. Research carried out by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) expands on the concept of aesthetic benefits in their summary of findings in the 2002 study, Streets of Shame:
“85% of people surveyed felt that the quality of public space and the built environment has a direct impact on their lives and on the way they feel.” All of the above mentioned items for landscaping improvements provide special benefit to the properties within each LMD; benefits that are not realized by parcels outside the boundaries of each LMD. The neighborhood improvements are installed and maintained specifically for the benefit of properties within each LMD, and parcels outside of the LMD are not proximate to these neighborhood improvements.
General Benefit
Section 4 of Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The local agency must next “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred,” and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. The rationale for separating special and general benefits is to ensure that parcels are not levied an assessment that includes an assessment amount attributable to the general benefits provided by the projects or services. Thus, a local agency carrying out projects or services that provide both special and general benefits may levy an assessment to pay for the special benefits, but must acquire separate funding to pay for those general benefits provided as a result of the projects and services provided.
As a result of the maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements provided to each LMD, there is a minimal level of general benefit provided to individuals that live outside of the boundaries of each LMD. In order for the property within each LMD to be assessed only for the special benefits received from the maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements provided to their specific LMD, the general benefit provided by the maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements needs to be separated. The City is comprised of many neighborhoods throughout the City. These neighborhoods are unique in identity and include public improvements that are individualized and specific to each neighborhood. Neighborhood improvements may include; landscaped bike trails, and local street networks; as well as neighborhood parks. These improvements are proximate to the properties and are intended to serve the residents within each of the neighborhoods.
Given the location and nature of the sidewalks and bike trail systems for each LMD, it is unlikely that the public at large would seek out or use these pedestrian systems unless accessing property adjacent to the ATTACHMENT 2
City of Manteca
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance Districts 10 pedestrian system. The public at large would be more inclined to use the pedestrian systems proximate to their own properties. However, there are certain members of the public at large that may use a portion of an LMD’s pedestrian system for recreational or commuting purposes, and not to access property within an LMD. As such, the level of general benefit that each LMD’s pedestrian system provides to the public at large has been considered.
According to the City’s Bicycle Needs and Attitudes survey, conducted in 2003, approximately 80% of those surveyed were recreational bike riders, with commuters accounting for the other 20%. Based upon this additional commuter pass-through traffic impacting an LMD that contains or borders a section of bike path, it was determined there would be a 20% general benefit to the surrounding community and the public in general. The general benefit is applied to the transitory nature of the bike path that connects different neighborhoods is maintained by the general public. The special enhancements (i.e., landscaping, irrigation, etc.) to various sections of bike path are unique to the adjacent LMDs, and add to the defined sense of community for those neighborhoods. The maintenance and servicing of those enhanced improvements are paid for by the benefitting LMD. Based on cost estimates to sweep and seal the asphalt path (general benefit costs) and the landscaping maintenance costs along the bike path (special benefit), the cost breakdown to maintain the bike paths over time is consistent with a 20% general benefit cost contribution.
The streets within each LMD are intended to serve the individual neighborhoods with the primary intended purpose of serving properties fronting the local street, and not to be pass-through streets. As such, the streets within each LMD are primarily considered to be local streets. Local streets do not provide a direct or efficient means of traveling from one place to another throughout the City, unless the route either begins or ends with a parcel in each of the LMDs. A route beginning or ending with a parcel within an LMD does not constitute “general public” for purposes of determining general benefit. However, one can imagine a minimal degree of pass through traffic even on something such as a cul-de-sac. Given the nature of the street landscaping, one could imagine a small degree of “residential tourism” wherein drivers are in fact simply “passing through” to enjoy the beautiful views of the homes, the well-maintained LMD improvements, and the natural surroundings. The level of general benefit produced as a result of “residential tourism” has been included as part of the total general benefit provided as a result of the maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements for each LMD.
Several of the LMDs also include neighborhoods parks, which are intended to serve those parcels within the neighborhood for which the park is located. Most parcels located outside of the LMD have their own neighborhood parks within close proximity that provides a special benefit to those parcels. Given the location and size of these neighborhood parks, it is very unlikely that the public at large seeks out these particular neighborhood parks. Especially, when the City has larger community and regional parks that are intended to attract people from outside areas and provide recreational opportunities beyond those that are supplied by the LMD’s neighborhood park. Nevertheless, it is likely that certain members of the public at large may use the smaller parks, and as such, the general benefit for the park improvements to the public at large has been considered. The City’s General Plan calls for unique neighborhood parks to be located within each subdivision and with easy access for properties within that subdivision. This ease of access, defined in PF-P-50 of the City’s General Plan, as approximately ¼ mile in walking distance. Parcels located outside of the subdivision are intended to have their own neighborhood parks within the access distance presented in the City’s General Plan. Therefore, only properties within an LMD that includes park ATTACHMENT 2

Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance Districts 11 improvements receive a direct and special benefit from the neighborhood park improvements and are assessed for said maintenance. The City’s General Plan goal is to provide five acres of developed parkland for every 1,000 residents. Further, a neighborhood park is intended to serve the property within a walking distance of approximately ¼ mile of the park. All parks are open to the public, but the purpose in constructing the neighborhood park improvements within the subdivision, rather than adjacent to an arterial street, is to benefit the property and residents of that subdivision. Based on the estimated population for each LMD, park acreage within an LMD that exceeds the City’s General Plan goals is considered to be a general benefit use to the surrounding community and the public in general.
The maintenance, operation, and servicing of the various improvements create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity that is unique to each LMD. Only those parcels that are located within the boundaries of each LMD are assessed for the maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements provided within each LMD. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between each parcel assessed and the maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements funded by the assessment that does not exist for parcels located outside of each LMD boundary or shared by the public at large.
Based upon this information, it has been determined that there is an amount of general benefit to the surrounding community and the public at large from the maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements located within the boundaries of each LMD, and therefore, a portion of the total annual LMD costs are attributed to general benefit. So that parcels are not assessed for the general benefits provided by the maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements of the LMD, the City contributes general fund revenues to off-set the total annual costs of each LMD. Those contributed maintenance costs are unique to each LMD. Some of those costs attributable to general benefits can include, but are not limited to costs related to:
Street maintenance;
Maintenance of curbs, gutters and sidewalks;
Indirect City staff overhead attributable to LMD maintenance and administration; Electricity for streetlights;
Walkways throughout and around parks; and
Maintenance of a portion of the bike trails (pathway only) - applicable only to LMDs where bike paths are included.
These City contributions are not included as part the annual cost estimate shown for each LMD. The annual cost estimate for each LMD provides the annual estimated costs attributable to special benefit, and is exclusive of the City’s general fund contribution.
Method of Assessment Spread
The parcels within each LMD are deemed to receive special benefit from the maintenance and operation of the improvements and services provided by each LMD. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services is identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements and services.

City of Manteca
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance Districts 12 Basis of Assessment
All improvements and services to be maintained, and funded through annual assessments, were constructed and installed in connection with the development of properties within each LMD. As previously mentioned, the maintained improvements and services provide a visual sense of community for all of the properties within each LMD. Further, the maintained improvements and services enhance the appeal of the LMD for property owners, residents, and potential buyers. This overall sense of community and enhanced appeal provides for a setting that is unique to each LMD. Therefore, the land use and proximity of each parcel to the improvements and services provided throughout the boundaries of each LMD are relatively similar, resulting in special benefit from the maintenance and operation of the improvements and services that is comparable and proportionate for each parcel throughout the LMD.
The specific basis of assessment and method or apportionment for each LMD is provided within each LMD’s section of this Annual Report.

The proximity of each parcel to the improvements and services is relatively similar, resulting in special benefit from the maintenance and operation of the improvements and services that is comparable and proportionate for each parcel. Since every parcel in Tesoro LMD No. 06-1 receives equal access and benefit from the improvements, the special benefit conferred to each parcel is determined to be equal. The current land use classification for each of the assessable parcels within Tesoro LMD No. 06-1 is residential.

City of Manteca
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance Districts 117 improvements and services is relatively similar, resulting in special benefit from the maintenance and operation of the improvements and services that is comparable and proportionate for each parcel. The basis for apportioning the assessment to each parcel within Union Ranch East LMD No. 06-4 is based upon the special benefit each parcel receives from the improvements. To apportion the special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of property land uses to each other. Assigning an equivalent unit to each parcel, with the single-family residential lot as the basic unit of assessment, provides a proportional method of apportionment for parcels within Union Ranch East LMD No. 06-4.
A single-family residential lot equals one equivalent unit. All other property land uses are assigned equivalent units based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s development land use and size, as compared to a single-family residential lot. Union Ranch East LMD No. 06-4 consisted of one vacant school district parcel that was assigned an equivalent unit value of 0.15 equivalent units per acre in recognition of the limited benefits it received from the improvements maintained by Union Ranch East LMD No. 06-4 and the benefit conferred upon other parcels within Union Ranch East LMD No. 06-4 by the open space and landscaping maintained by the school district on their parcel which might be used by properties within Union Ranch East LMD No. 06-4. Beginning with Fiscal Year 2014/15, the vacant school district parcel transferred ownership and became a residential development, which added 34 assessable residential lots to the LMD.
The following table provides the weighting factors applied to the various property land uses, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel’s equivalent unit assignment.

Fiscal Year 2025/26 Assessment
To apportion the special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of property land uses to each other. Assigning an equivalent unit to each parcel, with the single-family residential lot as the basic unit of assessment, provides a proportional method of apportionment for parcels within the Union ATTACHMENT 2
City of Manteca
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance Districts 122 Ranch LMD No. 06-5. A single-family residential lot equals one equivalent unit. All other property land uses are assigned equivalent units based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s development land use and size, as compared to a single-family residential lot. Undeveloped property is assigned an equivalent unit based on the number of future single-family lots proposed to be developed on that parcel.
The following table provides the weighting factors applied to the various property land uses, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel’s equivalent unit assignment.
Property Land Use Equivalent Unit Multiplier
Single-Family Residential Lot 1.00 Residential lot
Multiple Family Residential 0.60 Residential unit
Commercial/Office 4.00 Acre or portion thereof
Industrial 2.00 Acre or portion thereof
Undeveloped Residential 1.00 Future residential lot
Trails, Common Area, Open Space,
Easements, Utility Parcels, Streets 0.00 Parcel
The Union Ranch LMD No. 06-5 will be constructed in phases. For assessment purposes, parcels shall be identified as developed if a building permit has been issued as of April 1 each year. There are 1,426 equivalent units within the Union Ranch LMD No. 06-5 and each unit is deemed to receive equal special benefit from the maintenance and operation of the improvements.
The Fiscal Year 2025/26 assessment is spread as follows:

35. ASSESSMENT ROLLS
Assessor’s parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be based on the County Assessor’s secured roll data for the applicable year in which this Report is prepared and is incorporated herein by reference.
A listing of assessor’s parcels assessed within the District for Fiscal Year 2025/26, along with the assessment amounts, is on file in the office of the City Clerk and incorporated herein by reference. Based on County Assessor’s secured roll data, current assessor’s parcels, including corrected and/or new assessor’s parcels, will be submitted and/or resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The annual assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be determined in accordance with the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single assessor’s parcel has a status change in development, other land use change, or subdivides into multiple assessor’s parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new assessor’s parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment amount.
