THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR THE FISCAL
YEAR 2023-24 IN THE AMOUNT OF $112,870,414
A. Recitals.
(i) The voters of California on November 6, 1979, added Article XIIIB to the State Constitution placing various limitations on the appropriations of the State and local governments; and
(ii) Article XIIIB, as amended in 1990, provides that the appropriations limit for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 is calculated by adjusting the base year appropriations of Fiscal Year 1986-87 for changes in the cost of living and population; and (iii) The City of Placentia has complied with all of the provisions of Article XIIIB in determining the appropriations limit for the Fiscal Year 2023-24.

B. Resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLACENTIA DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

1. That the appropriations limit in Fiscal Year 2023-24 shall be based on the 2022-23 appropriation limit of $108,567,534 as established by Resolution No. R-2022- 44, and adjusted based on Proposition 111 guidelines by the California Per Capita Personal Income change of +4.44% and the Orange County population change of -0.46% as reported by the State Department of Finance during May 2023, thus creating a new appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2023-24 in the amount of $112,870,414.

DEPUTY CITY ADMINISTRATOR/ PUBLIC SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE JUNE 6, 2023

PUBLIC HEARING TO PROVIDE FOR THE ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESSMENT FOR THE CITY OF PLACENTIA LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT 92-1 REVENUE: $ 450,858 (RECOUPED THROUGH ASSESSMENTS)
EXPENDITURES: $ 419,200 (PROPOSED FY 2023-24 BUDGET LMD 92-1 FUND) The City of Placentia administers Landscape Maintenance District ("LMD") 92-1 ("District").

Property owners in the District pay an assessment on their property tax bill for the maintenance of common area landscaping. Each year, the City Council must order the preparation of an Engineer's Report which determines the amount of the assessment to be levied and reconfirms the boundaries and composition of the district. Based on the Engineer's Report (Attachment 2), the rate for Fiscal Year ("FY") 2023-24 for LMD 92-1 will remain the same at $154.87 per parcel, which is the maximum allowed by law for this district without a new vote of the property owners to approve a rate adjustment. This action requests that the City Council conduct a public hearing to receive public testimony, and upon conclusion of the public hearing, adopt a resolution approving the Engineer's Report and setting the annual levy of assessment for FY 2023-24.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Open the Public Hearing concerning the levy and collection of assessments within the Landscape Maintenance District 92-1; and

2. Receive the Staff Report, consider all public testimony, ask questions of Staff; and

3. Close the Public Hearing; and

4. Adopt Resolution No. R-2023-34, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, approving Engineer's Report, confirming diagram and assessment, and ordering levy of continued assessments for Fiscal Year 2023-24 for Placentia Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1.

DISCUSSION:

The City Council adopted Resolution No 92-R-123 on May 2,1992, which initially formed the District. This District, utilizing benefit assessments, funds the cost to maintain and administer the landscape areas identified within LMD 92-1, which includes Placentia Champions Sports Complex ("Complex"). In 1996, the City Council transferred the financial responsibility for maintenance of the Complex from the District to the City's General Fund. At the time it was determined that since the Complex had grown operationally and hosted sport leagues from outside the City, the General Fund should instead fund the cost to maintain the Complex. However, in 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. R-2010-03, which returned the financial responsibility of maintaining the Complex back to the District. This was done due to the extensive financial difficulties the City was faced with at the time, and the City's General Fund could not support the cost of maintaining the Complex. The Complex, however, is still an assessed improvement within the District and is one of numerous improvements maintained by the District. By 2014, it had become apparent that the District no longer generates sufficient revenue to maintain all the improvements within the District even when excluding the cost to maintain the Complex. As part of the Fiscal Year 2014-15 Operating Budget the maintenance cost for the Complex was informally transferred again to the City's General Fund to reduce the structural deficit within the District Fund.

Current Status of LMD 92-1 Fund
The cost to maintain the Complex as well as the rest of the improvements within the District have grown since 1992 when the District was first created. However, the rates paid by the assessed parcels have never been increased to keep pace with the rate of inflation since the District was formed. As such, an ongoing structural deficit exists within the District Fund that is balanced each year by adjusting operational costs (i.e., reducing service levels) to ensure the District Fund remains solvent, and to avoid a direct General Fund subsidy to balance it each year. In addition to landscape maintenance costs, the assessments the District collects provide funding for irrigation and electrical costs associated with the District improvements and additional funds for maintenance and repair of District infrastructure and costs associated with the maintenance and management of the District. These costs have continued to grow over time. Including the maintenance costs for the Complex in the District budget would result in a running deficit each year which would continue to require a General Fund subsidy to balance it. As such, maintenance costs for the Complex are budgeted in the City's General Fund. However, it should be noted that the City collects user fees from sports groups using the Complex and fees for electrical costs associated with sports field lights, both of which are considered General Fund revenues and help offset the City's maintenance costs for the Complex.

The current maximum rate per assessment unit established for the LMD 92-1 is $154.87. In 1996, the voters of California approved Proposition 218, which limits the ability of public agencies to increase assessments for such districts. The cost to maintain the Complex and all other District improvements will continue to grow, and despite removing the maintenance costs of the Complex from the District, the City can expect to begin subsidizing the District in the next two (2) fiscal years. The revenue the District is currently collecting is insufficient to cover routine maintenance costs, and does not include a capital improvement component for needed capital repairs and improvements. As such, this structural deficit needs to be addressed to ensure the District's

financial solvency. Staff will present the City Council with potential options to evaluate as part of a future study session in FY 2023-24 for consideration for FY 2024-25.

Public Hearing Process
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code § 22500-22647) requires that the City undertake certain proceedings for any fiscal year during which assessments are to be levied and collected upon private property. Each fiscal year, the City Council directs the preparation of an Engineer's Report, budgets and proposed assessments before the assessments can be levied. The Engineer's Report establishes the foundation and justification for the continued collection of the assessments for FY 2023-24. These proceedings are usually accomplished at two (2) separate City Council meetings. On May 2, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring its intention to provide for the Annual Levy of Assessments for LMD 92-1 and setting the time and date for a public hearing.

The Annual Levy of Assessments is for the purpose of providing landscape maintenance and means of assessment for the same as shown in the attachments. Documents to provide for the annual levy have been prepared by the Assessment Engineer contracted by the City and herewith presented for City Council approval as follows:

1. Resolution confirming a Diagram and Assessment, providing for Annual Assessment Levy (Attachment 1)

2. Engineer's Report and Assessment Diagram (Attachment 2)

3. Assessment Roll (On File with The City Clerk)
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment 1). Although verbal testimony may be taken, protests to the annual levy must be submitted in writing and filed with the City Clerk. No written protests have been filed as of May 31, 2023. The City Clerk will provide City Council with copies of any written protests received subsequently.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Assessment Units ("AU") for FY 2023-24 have not increased. The assessments are currently set at the maximum allowable rate. For FY 2023-23, the estimated revenue from assessments is $450,868 against budgeted expenditures of $419,200 leaving $31,668 to address contingency costs. There is no impact to the General Fund associated with these recommended actions. As previously mentioned, the revenue the District is currently collecting is insufficient to cover routine maintenance costs, and does not include a capital improvement component for needed capital repairs and improvements. As such, this structural deficit needs to be addressed to ensure the District's financial solvency. Staff will present the City Council with potential options to evaluate as part of a future study session in FY 2023-24 for consideration for FY 2024-25.

A. Recitals.
(i). On May 5, 1992, by its Resolution No. 92-R-123, this Council ordered the formation of and levied the first assessment within the Placentia Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1 ("District") in accordance with the provisions of Article XIIID of the California Constitution, and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the "Act"), Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (commencing with Section 22500 thereof)
(ii). The purpose of the District is for the installation, maintenance and servicing of landscape improvements, as described in the Engineer's Report. (iii). By its Resolution No. R-2023-25, A Resolution Directing Preparation of Annual Report for the Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1 (the "Assessment District"), this Council designated SCI Consulting Group as Engineer of Work and ordered said Engineer to make and file a report in writing in accordance with and pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

B. Resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Placentia does hereby find, determine and resolve as follows:

1. The facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A of this Resolution, are true and correct.

2. The public interest, convenience and necessity require that the levy be made.

3. The Assessment District benefited by the improvements and assessed to pay the costs and expenses thereof, and the exterior boundaries thereof, are as shown by a map thereof filed in the office of the City Clerk, which map is made a part hereof by reference thereto.

4. The Revised Engineer's Report as a whole and each part thereof, to wit:
(a) The Engineer's estimate of the itemized and total costs and expenses of maintaining the improvements and of the incidental expenses in connection therewith;
(b) The diagram showing the assessment district, plans and specifications for the improvements to be maintained and the boundaries and dimensions of the respective lots and parcels of land within the Assessment District; and (c) The assessment of the total amount of the cost and expenses of the proposed maintenance of the improvements upon the several lots and parcels of land in the Assessment District in proportion to the estimated special benefits to be received by such lots and parcels, respectively, from the maintenance, and of the expenses incidental thereto; are finally approved and confirmed.

Page 2 of 4 ends

7. Based on the oral and documentary evidence, including the Engineer's Report, offered and received at the hearing, this Council expressly finds and determines (a) that each of the several lots and parcels of land will be specially benefited by the maintenance of the improvements at least in the amount if not more than the amount, of the assessment apportioned against the lots and parcels of land, respectively, and (b) that there is substantial evidence to support, and the weight of the evidence preponderates in favor of, the aforesaid finding and determination as to special benefits.

After collection by the County, the net amount of the assessments, after deduction of any compensation due the County for collection, shall be paid to the City of Placentia.

11.

Overview
The City of Placentia (the "City") services and maintains perimeter and median landscaping, and other improvements ("Improvements") to various parts of the City. In order to fund the maintenance and operation (the "Services") of these projects and improvements, the City has formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1, ("District").

This Engineer's Report ("Report") was prepared to establish the budget for the Improvements (as described below) that will be funded by the 2023-24 assessments and other revenue, and to determine the general and special benefits received from the Improvements by property within the District and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels. This Report and the assessments have been made pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the "Act") and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (the "Article").

Engineer's Report and Continuation of Assessments
The assessment has been continued for over 20 years. In each subsequent year for which the assessments will be continued, the Placentia City Council (the "Council") must direct the preparation of an Engineer's Report, budgets, and proposed assessments for the upcoming fiscal year. After the report is completed, the City Council may preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report and the continued assessments and establish the date for a public hearing on the continuation of the assessments. Accordingly, this Engineer's Report (the "Report") was prepared pursuant to the direction of the City Council.

As required by the Act, this Report includes plans and specifications, a diagram or map of the District, the benefits received by property from the Improvements within the District, and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels within the District.

If the Council approves this Engineer's Report and the continuation of the Assessments by resolution, a notice of public hearing must be published in a local newspaper at least 10 days prior to the date of the public hearing. The resolution preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report and establishing the date for a public hearing is typically used for this notice.

Following the minimum 10 -day time period after publishing the notice, a public hearing is held for the purpose of allowing public testimony about the proposed continuation of the Assessments. This hearing is currently scheduled for June 6, 2023. At this hearing, the Council will consider approval of a resolution confirming the continuation of the Assessments for fiscal year 2023-24. If so confirmed and approved, the Assessments would be submitted to the Orange County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax rolls for fiscal year 2023-24.

Beginning in 2014, SCI Consulting Group became the Assessment Engineer for the District.

To maintain an accurate reference and legally defensible record of the District, pertinent language used in previous engineer's reports has been retained herein and is cited in italics as appropriate.

Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (2008) 44 Cal. 4th 431
In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority ("SVTA"). This ruling is significant in that the Court clarified how Proposition 218 made changes to the determination of special benefit. The Court also found that:
■ Benefit assessments are for special, not general, benefit ■ The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined
■ Special benefits are directly received by and provide a direct advantage to property in the Improvement District
■ The assessment paid by property should be proportional to the special benefits it receives from the Improvements

This Engineer's Report and the process used to establish the continuation of the assessments for fiscal year 2023-24 are consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution based on the following factors:

The District is drawn to include the entire City; although only parcels deriving special benefits are included in the assessment rolls. Thus, zones of benefit are not required and the assessment revenue derived from real property in the District is expended only on the Improvements in the District.

The Improvements which are constructed and maintained with assessment proceeds in the District are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the assessment.

The Improvements provide landscaping and other services to the residents of such assessed property. The proximity of the Improvements to the assessed parcels provides a special benefit to the parcel being assessed pursuant to the factors outlined by the Supreme Court in that decision.

Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the Improvements financed with assessment revenues in the District benefit the properties in that District in a manner different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the City derive from such Improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in the District are more extensive than a general increase in property values.

The assessments paid in the District are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within that Assessment District receives from the Improvements because:

The specific landscaping Improvements and maintenance and utility costs thereof in the District are specified in this Report; and
Such Improvement and maintenance costs in the District are allocated among different types of property located within the District, and equally among those properties which have similar characteristics, such as single-family residential parcels, multi -family residential parcels, commercial parcels, industrial parcels, etc.

Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property (2009) 174 Cal. App. 4th 708 In Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property ("Dahms") the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties.

Bonander v. Town of Tiburon (2009) 180 Cal. App. 4th 103 Bonander v. Town of Tiburon ("Bonander"), the 1st District Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments primarily on the grounds that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based on the costs within sub -areas of the assessment district instead of the overall cost of the improvements and the overall proportional special benefits.

Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010) 184 Cal. App. 4th 1516 Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside ("Beutz") the Court overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits.

Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego (2011) 199 Cal.

App. 4th 416
On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeal issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits. Second, the court found that the City had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.

Compliance with Current Law
This Engineer's Report is consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution because the Improvements to be funded are clearly defined; the benefiting property in the District enjoys close and unique proximity, access and views to the Improvements; the Improvements serve as an extension of usable land area for benefiting properties in the District and such special benefits provide a direct advantage to property in the District that is not enjoyed by the public at large or other property.

This Engineer's Report is consistent with Beutz, Dahms and Greater Golden Hill because the Improvements will directly benefit property in the District and the general benefits have been explicitly calculated and quantified and excluded from the Assessments. The Engineer's Report is consistent with Bonander because the Assessments have been apportioned based on the overall cost of the Improvements and Services proportional special benefit to each property, rather than the proportional cost to the District to provide the Improvements to specific properties.

Notes to Estimate of Costs:

A. The total estimated expenses for this Fiscal Year do not include the following maintenance and operating costs for the Placentia Sports Champion Complex: $53,454 for landscape and general maintenance plus $14,005 for restroom janitorial services. These costs, totaling $67,459 (or approximately 15% of the total assessment district's annual expenses) are covered by the City's General Fund.

B. The Act requires that proceeds from the assessments must be deposited into a special fund that has been set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Moreover, funds raised by the assessment shall be used only for the purposes stated within this Report. Any balance remaining at the end of the Fiscal Year, June 30, must be carried over to the next Fiscal Year. The District may also establish a reserve fund for contingencies and special projects as well as a capital improvement fund for accumulating funds for larger capital improvement projects or capital renovation needs. Any remaining balance would either be placed in the reserve fund, the capital improvement fund, or would be used to reduce future years' assessments.

C. The rate shown here is for an Assessment Unit (single family home or its equivalent). For the definition of the term AU and rates for other types of property, see the section titled, "Method of Assessment" and the sections following it in this report.

ethod of Assessment Apportionment
Method of Apportionment
This section of the Engineer's Report explains the benefits to be derived from the Improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total assessment to properties within the District.

The District consists of certain assessor parcels within the boundaries as defined by the Assessment Diagram referenced in this report and the parcels identified by the Assessor Parcel Numbers listed with the levy roll. The parcel list includes all privately and publicly owned parcels as shown. The method used for apportioning the Assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District over and above general benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large. The Assessment is apportioned to lots and parcels in proportion to the relative special benefit from the Improvements. The apportionment of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefit arising from the Improvements and the second step is to allocate the Assessments to property based on the estimated relative special benefit for each type of property.

Discussion of Benefit
In summary, the Assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property.

This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. With reference to the requirements for assessments, Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 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 benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements." Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property and that the value of the special benefits must exceed the cost of the assessment:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Revised Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2023-24
SCIConsultingGroup

The following benefit categories summarize the types of special benefit to residential, commercial, industrial and other lots and parcels resulting from the Improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:

A. Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas and Other Public Improvements within the District.

B. Access to Improved landscaped areas and Other Public Improvements within the District.

C. Improved Views within the District.

D. Extension of a property's outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the Improvements.

E. Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the Assessments, would not have been created.

In this case, the recent SVTA v. SCCOSA decision provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties from similar improvements in three distinct areas:
■ Proximity
■ Expanded or improved access
■ Views
The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment:

The characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g. general enhancement of the district's property values).

Proximity, improved access and views, in addition to the other special benefits listed herein further strengthen the basis of these assessments.

Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1

ConsultingGroup

Page 19 ends

Moreover, the Dahms decision further clarified that certain services and improvements funded by assessments, that are over and above what otherwise would be provided and that other property in general and the public do not share or receive are 100% special benefit. The assessment -funded services upheld by Dahms included streetscape maintenance and security services.

Special Benefit
The special benefits from the Improvements are further detailed below:

Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas within the District Only the specific properties within close proximity to the Improvements are included in the District. The District has been narrowly drawn to include the properties that receive special benefits from the Improvements. Therefore, property in the District enjoys unique and valuable proximity and access to the Improvements that the public at large and property outside the District do not share.

In absence of the Assessments, the Improvements would not be provided and the public improvements funded in the District would be degraded due to insufficient funding for maintenance, upkeep and repair. Therefore, the Assessments provide Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided. Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided do not by themselves translate into special benefits but when combined with the unique proximity and access enjoyed by parcels in the District, they provide a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

Access to Improved Landscaped Areas within the District Since the parcels in the District are nearly the only parcels that enjoy close access to the Improvements, they directly benefit from the unique close access to improved landscaping areas and other public improvements that are provided by the Assessments.

This is a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1

ConsultingGroup

Page 20 ends

Improved Views within the Assessment Districts
The City, by maintaining permanent public improvements funded by the Assessments in the District, provides improved views to properties in the District. The properties in the District enjoy close and unique proximity, access and views of the specific Improvements funded in the District; therefore, the improved and protected views provided by the Assessments are another direct and tangible advantage that is uniquely conferred upon property in the District.

Extension of a Property's Outdoor Areas and Green Spaces for Properties within Close Proximity to the Improvements
In large part because it is cost prohibitive to provide large open land areas on property in the District, the residential, commercial and other benefiting properties in the District do not have large outdoor areas and green spaces. The Improvements within the District provide additional outdoor areas that serve as an effective extension of the land area for proximate properties because the Improvements are uniquely proximate and accessible to property in close proximity to the Improvements. The Improvements, therefore, provide an important, valuable and desirable extension of usable land area for the direct advantage and special benefit of properties in the District because such properties have uniquely good and close proximity to the Improvements.

Creation of Individual Lots for Residential and Commercial Use that, in Absence of the Assessments, Would Not Have Been Created In most of the District, the original owner/developer(s) of the property within the District agreed unanimously to the Assessments. The Assessments provide the necessary funding for public improvements that were required as a condition of development and subdivision approval. Therefore, such Assessments allowed the original property to be subdivided and for development of the parcels to occur. As parcels were sold, new owners were informed of the Assessments through the title reports, and in some cases, through Department of Real Estate "White Paper" reports that the parcels were subject to assessment. Purchase of property was also an "agreement" to pay the Assessment.

Therefore, in absence of the Assessments, the lots within most of the District would not have been created. These parcels, and the improvements that were constructed on the parcels, receive direct advantage and special benefit from the Assessments.

General Versus Special Benefit
Article XIIIC of the California Constitution requires any local agency proposing to increase or impose a benefit assessment to "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel." The rationale for separating special and general benefits is to ensure that property owners subject to the benefit assessment are not paying for general benefits. An assessment can fund special benefits but cannot fund general benefits. Accordingly, a separate estimate of the special and general benefit is given in this section.

In other words:

Total _ General Special
Benefit — Benefit + Benefit
There is no widely -accepted or statutory formula for general benefit. General benefits are benefits from improvements or services that are not special in nature, are not "particular and distinct" and are not "over and above" benefits received by other properties. SVTA vs. SCCOSA provides some clarification by indicating that general benefits provide "an indirect, derivative advantage" and are not necessarily proximate to the improvements.

In this Report, the general benefit is liberally estimated and described, and then budgeted so that it is funded by sources other than the Assessment.

The starting point for evaluating general and special benefits is the current, baseline level of service. The Assessment will fund Improvements "over and above" this general, baseline level and the general benefits estimated in this section are over and above the baseline.

A formula to estimate the general benefit is listed below:

General
Benefit
Benefit to Real
Property Outside

Page 22 ends

Special benefit, on the other hand, is defined in the state constitution as "a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large." The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision indicates that a special benefit is conferred to a property if it "receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g., proximity to a park)." In these Assessments, as noted, properties in the District have close and unique proximity, views and access to the Improvements and uniquely improved desirability from the Improvements and other properties and the public at large do not receive significant benefits because they do not have proximity, access or views of the Improvements. Therefore, the overwhelming proportion of the benefits conferred to property is special, and is only minimally received by property outside the Districts or the public at large.

Benefit Finding
The District contains the Placentia Champions Sports Complex, which is distinct from other landscape improvements in the District. Due to significantly different characteristics between the two types of improvements, benefits will be discussed and calculated separately under the categories of "Park Improvements" and "Landscaping Improvements."
Park Improvements - Quantification of General Benefit
In this section, the general benefit from park Improvements is liberally estimated and described, and then budgeted so that it is funded by sources other than the Assessment.

This Park section is focused on the Placentia Champions Sports Complex. Other District Improvements are discussed below in "Landscaping Improvements - Quantification of General Benefit."
Benefit to Property Outside the Assessment Districts
For the purposes of calculating benefit to properties outside the District, the Park will be considered as a neighborhood park insomuch as it provides amenities for nearby properties. While it functions as a community (or even regional) facility for organized sports such as baseball and soccer, the general benefit derived from those activities will be discussed under the "Benefit to the General Public" below.

Properties within the District receive much of the special benefits from the park Improvements because properties in the District enjoy unique close proximity and access to the park Improvements that is not necessarily enjoyed by other properties or the public at large. However, certain properties within the proximity/access radius of the park Improvements, but outside of the boundaries of the District, may receive some benefit from the park Improvements. Since this benefit is conferred to properties outside the District boundaries, it contributes to the overall general benefit calculation and will not be funded by the Assessments.

Since the properties outside the District but within the effective proximity radii are not assessed for their benefits because they are outside of the area that can be assessed by the District, this is a form of general benefit to other property. A 50% reduction factor is applied to these properties because they are all on only one side of the Improvements and properties in the District enjoy the advantage of over twice the average proximity to the park Improvements. The general benefit to property outside of the District is calculated as follows with the parcel and data analysis performed by SCI Consulting Group.

ASSUMPTIONS:
■ 651 parcels outside the District but within 0.5
miles of the Park
■ 2,212 parcels in the District
■ 50% relative benefit compared to property
within the District
CALCULATION:

General Benefit to property outside the District =
651/(651+2,212)*0.5 = 11.37%
Benefit to Property Inside the Assessment Districts that is Indirect and Derivative
The "indirect and derivative" benefit to property within the District is particularly difficult to calculate. A solid argument can be presented that all benefit within the District is special, because the Improvements are clearly "over and above" and "particular and distinct" when compared with the baseline level of service and the unique proximity, access and views of the Improvements enjoyed by benefiting properties in the District.

Nevertheless, the SVTA vs. SCCOSA decision indicates there may be general benefit "conferred on real property located in the district" A measure of the general benefits to property within the Assessment area is the percentage of land area within or directly abutting the District that is publicly owned and used for regional purposes such as major roads, rail lines and other regional facilities because such properties used for regional purposes could provide indirect benefits to the public at large. Approximately 2.91% of the land area in the District is used for such regional purposes, so this is a measure of the general benefits to property within the District.

Benefit To The Public At Large
The general benefit to the public at large can be estimated by the proportionate amount of time that the District's parks facilities are used and enjoyed by individuals who are not residents, employees, customers or property owners in the District. In this District, there is only one park facility: Placentia Champions Sports Complex ("Complex"). The Complex serves the needs of many people in two primary ways: as a neighborhood park serving nearby residents for shorter and more frequent visits; and as a community or regional park serving people from all over Placentia and the surrounding areas as a destination for organized sports such as soccer and baseball league play. The general benefit of the former was discussed above; the general benefit of the latter is discussed here.

When the Complex functions as a community or regional park, it becomes a destination for longer and less frequent visits (for example, scheduled league play). Of the five ways benefits are conferred (proximity, access, views, extension of a property's green space, and creation of lots), the community or regional function confers benefits only in the "access" and "extension of a property's green space" categories (proximity does not apply as these trips are from outside the District; people do not come for the views; and the facility was not tied to the creation of faraway lots). Therefore the general benefit is no more than 40%. That figure, however, is reduced by the percentage that the community or regional park benefits property owners within the district (special benefit). The City estimates that approximately 71% of participants in these organized sports are from the City of Placentia. However, only 15.11% of Placentia parcels lie inside the district, so it is estimated that (15% of 71% =) 10.73% of the users are from within the District.

Conversely, 89.27% are from outside the District. Therefore (40% x 89.27% =) 35.71% of the benefits from the Parks Improvements are general benefits to the public at large City of Placentia

Total Park Improvements General Benefits
Using a sum of these three measures of general benefit, we find that approximately

49.98% of the benefits conferred by the Improvements may be general in nature and should be funded by sources other than the assessment.

Landscaping and Other Improvements - Quantification of General Benefit In this section, the general benefit from landscaping and other types of Improvements (other than park Improvements) is liberally estimated and described, and then budgeted so that it is funded by sources other than the Assessment.

Benefit to Property Outside the Assessment Districts
Properties within the District receive almost all of the special benefits from the other Improvements because properties in the District enjoy unique close proximity and access to the Improvements that is not enjoyed by other properties or the public at large.

However, certain properties within the proximity/access radius of the Improvements, but outside of the boundaries of the District, may receive some benefit from the Improvements. Since this benefit is conferred to properties outside the District boundaries, it contributes to the overall general benefit calculation and will not be funded by the Assessments. The general benefit to property outside of the District is calculated with the parcel and data analysis performed by SCI Consulting Group.

Since the properties outside the District but with frontage abutting the Improvements cannot be assessed by the District, this is a form of general benefit to other property. The primary way that parcels outside the district benefit by the Improvements is from views.

Therefore, parcels that abut the landscape areas and are not separated from the Improvements by a privacy fence are counted for this general benefit. The general benefit to property outside of the District is calculated as follows.

ASSUMPTIONS:
■ 22 parcels outside the District
■ 2,212 parcels in the District

Benefit To The Public At Large
The general benefit to the public at large can be estimated by the proportionate amount of time that the District's other Improvements including landscaping are used and enjoyed by individuals who are not residents, employees, customers or property owners in the District. It should be noted that these other Improvements do not attract the public at large in the same way as park improvements — and they confer far less benefit to the public at large than do similar park improvements. In essence, the public does not visit an area to enjoy setback landscaping in the same way as they may visit a park.

One way to measure the special benefit to the general public is by the car trips through an area with Improvements. Of the five ways benefits are conferred (proximity, access, views, extension of a property's green space, and creation of lots), the only benefit that is conferred by way of pass -by car trips is views, which accounts for 10% of the total benefits, since views are less critically important and are enjoyed much less often to the average non-resident driver than to a resident.

Next, the views factors are weighted by the relevant number of car trips. Using the lane miles as representative of pass -by traffic, an analysis shows that 90% of the lane miles are on arterial or collector streets where the general public has views of the landscaping.

Therefore (90% of 10% =) 9.0% of the benefits from the other Improvements are general benefits to the public at large.

Total Other Improvements General Benefits
Using a sum of these three measures of general benefit, we find that approximately

12.89% of the benefits conferred by the Improvements may be general in nature and should be funded by sources other than the assessment.

TOTAL COMBINED GENERAL BENEFITS
The total general benefit for Parks is 49.98% and for Landscaping and other Improvements is 12.89%. However, none of the District budget is for Parks — all of the budget is currently allocated for Landscaping and other Improvements. Therefore, using those proportions to calculate a weighted average of the general benefits for each type of Improvement, the resulting total combined general benefit is (0 x 49.98%) + (1.00 x 12.90%) = 12.90%.

Although this analysis finds that 12.90% of the assessment may provide general benefits from the Improvements, the Assessment Engineer establishes a requirement for a minimum contribution from sources other than the assessments of 13%. This minimum contribution above the measure of general benefits will serve to provide additional coverage for any other general benefits.

Final Step — Calculate the Current General Benefit Contribution from the City
This general benefit cannot be funded from the Assessments; it must be funded from other sources such as the City's General Fund or other non -District funds. These contributions can also be in the form of in -lieu contributions to the installation and maintenance of the Improvements such as other City assets that support and protect the Improvements. The City of Placentia will contribute both monetary and in -lieu resources to ensure that the general benefits conferred by the proposed Improvements are not funded by the District's Assessments.

A summary and quantification of these other contributions from the City is discussed below:

The City of Placentia owns, maintains, rehabilitates and replaces curb and gutter along the border of the District Improvements. This curb and gutter serves to support, contain, retain, manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the Improvements.

The contribution from the City towards general benefit from the maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 5%.

The City owns and maintains a storm drainage system along the border of the District Improvements. This system serves to prevent flooding and associated damage to the Improvements, and manage urban runoff including local pollutants loading from the Improvements. The contribution from the City towards general benefit from the maintenance, and operation of the local storm drainage system is conservatively estimated to be 5%.

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Revised Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2023-24
ConsultingGroup

Page 29 ends

The City owns and maintains local public streets along the border of the District Improvements. These public streets provide access to the Improvements for its enjoyment as well as efficient maintenance. The contribution from the City towards general benefit from the maintenance of local public streets is conservatively estimated to be 5%.

The value of the construction of the improvements can be quantified and monetized as an annuity. Since this construction was performed and paid for by non -assessment funds, this "annuity" can be used to offset general benefit costs, and is conservatively estimated to contribute 10%.

The total General Benefit is liberally quantified at 13% which is entirely offset by the conservatively quantified total non -assessment contribution towards general benefit described above of 25%. Therefore, no additional General Benefit must be funded by the City.

Method of Apportionment
The development of an Assessment methodology requires apportioning to determine the relative special benefit for each property. As the District was formed by a different engineer of record, the precise language from the most recent Engineer's Report is included below:

It has been determined that the improvements provide a specific and special benefit to all assessed parcels of land in the development area. Landscaping and irrigation of street rights -of -way, entryways, islands, sewer and storm drain easements, areas surrounding existing oil wells and the parkway vistas aesthetically enhances the development areas. The landscaped pedestrian corridor along Alta Vista Street also provides pedestrian access throughout the development area. The aesthetic enhancement and use of the parkway vistas increases the desirability of the properties located within the boundaries of the District mainly because of the property's close proximity and accessibility to the improvements. Therefore, maintenance of these public improvements renders a special and direct benefit to the parcels located throughout the District and the levy of a special assessment for the maintenance of the improvements is deemed appropriate.

Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Revised Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2023-24
ConsultingGroup

Page 30 ends

The method of apportionment (Method of Assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape improvements within the District, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel's proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits.

The assessment method used in spreading the annual landscape maintenance costs is based on an assessment unit (AU) factor as follows:

Each Single Family Detached Residential Unit is considered to be one AU and is assessed the cost attributable to one AU.

Multi -Family Residential Units are assessed 0.70 or 70% of an AU since they have a higher density than Single Family Detached Units (number of dwelling units/acres). The decrease in assessment is a direct result of the reduced amount of assessable acreage per Multi -Family Unit and the reduction in occupancy per unit.

In converting Developed Commercial, Industrial, Institutional and Other Non - Residential properties to AUs, the factor used is based on the City of Placentia average single-family residential density of ten dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the parcels in this Class will be assessed 10 AU per acre or any portion thereof.

These properties benefit from the maintenance of improvements because of the enhanced desirability resulting from well -kept landscape areas. Improved aesthetic appeal also increases the draw of businesses to purchase or lease property and the increased opportunity to draw clientele.

Assessable Undeveloped Acreage also benefits from the maintenance and service of the landscape improvements. This benefit comes in the form of enhanced desirability due to the improved aesthetics of the area resulting from improvements. The enhanced aesthetics increases the desirability of the property to future homeowners and future commercial property owners or lessors.

However, because the property is vacant, less use will be made of the improvements. It is reasonable to derive that vacant property, when compared to developed property, receives about half of the benefit of developed properties, therefore the Single Family Residence acreage equivalent used for developed non- residential properties of 10 AU per acres is reduced to 5 AU per acre for undeveloped Iand.2

As noted previously, the Assessment can continue to be levied annually after the City Council approves an annually updated Engineer's Report, budget for the Assessment, Improvements to be provided, and other specifics of the Assessment. In addition, the City Council must hold an annual public hearing to continue the Assessment.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
VIA: CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: DEPUTY CITY ADMINISTRATOR/ PUBLIC SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE DATE: JUNE 6, 2023
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO PROVIDE FOR THE ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESSMENT FOR THE CITY OF PLACENTIA STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT 81-1 FISCAL
IMPACT: REVENUE: $135,286 (SLD-81-1 ASSESSMENTS)
$ 36,214 (TRANSFER IN FROM GENERAL FUND)
EXPENDITURES: $171,500 (PROPOSED FY 2023-24 BUDGET SLD 81-1 FUND)
SUMMARY:

The City of Placentia administers Street Lighting District ("SLD") ("District") 81-1. Property owners in the District pay an assessment on their property tax bill for the maintenance of 814 streetlights within the district. Each year, the City Council must order the preparation of an Engineer's Report which determines the amount of the assessment to be levied and reconfirms the boundaries and composition of the district. Based upon the Engineer's Report, the rate for Fiscal Year ("FY") 2023- 24 for SLD 81-1 will remain the same at $27.38 per parcel which is the maximum allowed by law for this District without a new vote of the property owners to approve a rate increase. This action recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing to receive testimony, and upon conclusion of the public hearing, adopt a resolution approving the Engineer's Report and setting the annual levy of assessment for FY 2023-24.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Open the Public Hearing concerning the levy and collection of assessments within the Placentia Street Lighting District 81-1; and

2. Receive the Staff Report, consider all public testimony, ask questions of Staff; and

3. Close the Public Hearing; and

4. Adopt Resolution No. R-2023-35, a Resolution of City Council of the City of Placentia, California, approving Engineer's Report, confirming diagram and assessment, and ordering levy of continued assessments for Fiscal Year 2023-24 for Placentia Street Lighting District No. 81-1.

DISCUSSION:

The Placentia SLD 81-1 ("District") was formed on June 2, 1981 by Resolution No. 81-R-133 of the City Council. The District incorporated the formerly City -run Santa Fe Street Lighting District as well as new areas of development in the City. The County of Orange ("County") operated street light assessment districts in Placentia prior to this action by the City Council. The Orange County Street Light Assessment Districts ("OCSLAD") were formed by ad valorem tax rate areas and new developments were annexed into the OCSLAD with the consent of the City Council. The formation of SLD 81-1 was driven by the County taking a position to not annex new territory into the OCSLAD from that point of time forward and to transfer the responsibility of managing these Districts to Cities instead. Accordingly, all areas awaiting annexation and any new development in Placentia after that time were to be part of the City's newly formed District. Upon formation of SLD 81-1, no further territory was annexed into the County's street lighting assessment district.

Since that time, the District has absorbed 814 new streetlights installed throughout the City as it continued to develop and annex new properties in the 1980's and 90's.

SLD No. 81-1 is divided into five (5) assessment zones. Zone A is made up of 3,715 residential parcels. Zone B consists of 315.859 acres of commercial and industrial land. Zone C, which includes parcels from the former Santa Fe Lighting District No. 1, no longer exists and has been folded into Zone B. Zone D includes 100 parcels that have a recorded tentative or final map but are not yet developed. Lastly, Zone E includes open space, streets, or landscaped parcels and is exempt from the assessment. The assessment rate charged varies by zone. Zone A properties pay $27.38 per parcel per year. Zone B pays $164.28 per acre and Zone C properties pay a rate of $8.21 per unit. The assessments are currently at the maximum allowable rate without a vote of property owners as required by Proposition 218.

Public Hearing Process
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code §§ 22500-22647) does require that the City undertake certain proceedings for any fiscal year during which assessments are to be levied and collected upon private property. Each fiscal year, the City Council directs the preparation of an Engineer's Report, budgets and proposed assessments before the assessments can be levied. The Engineer's Report establishes the foundation and justification for the continued collection of the assessments for FY 2023-24. These proceedings are usually accomplished at two (2) separate City Council meetings. On May 2, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring its intention to provide for the Annual Levy of Assessments for SLD 81-1 and setting the time and date for a public hearing.

The Annual Levy of Assessments is for the purpose of providing district funds for street light maintenance and electricity costs and a means of assessment for the same purposes as shown in the attachments. Documents to provide for the annual levy have been prepared by the assessment engineer contracted by the City and herewith presented for City Council approval as follows:

1. Resolution confirming a Diagram and Assessment, providing for Annual Assessment Levy (Attachment 1)

2. Engineer's Report and Assessment Diagram (Attachment 2)

3. Assessment Roll (On File with the City Clerk)

SLD No. 81-1 is exempt from, and not subject to the procedures and approval processes set forth in Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution enacted by Proposition 218 on November 5, 1996. The reason SLD No. 81-1 is not subject to Proposition 218 can be attributed to the fact that Proposition 218 also enacted Article XIII D, Sections 5 and 5(b) which exempted assessment districts formed prior to November 6, 1996, and which were formed pursuant to a petition signed by those owning all the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed. This exemption is contingent on there being no increase in the amount assessed on a property owner in a category from the prior year. Since SLD No. 81-1 was formed prior to November 6, 1996, pursuant to a petition signed by those owning all the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed, the District is exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth by Proposition 218.

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the attached Resolution. Although verbal testimony may be taken, protests must be submitted in writing and filed with the City Clerk. No written protests have been filed as of May 31, 2023. The City Clerk will provide the City Council with copies of any written protests received subsequently.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Assessment Units ("AU") for FY 2023-24, have not increased. The assessments are currently at the maximum allowable rate without a vote of property owners as required by Proposition 218. The estimated revenue from assessments is $135,286. Expenditure is estimated to be $171,500. The largest cost center is for electric utility costs which totals $160,000. This leaves a funding deficit of $36,214 which will be subsidized by the General Fund. SLD 81-1 has operated at a deficit for numerous years due to the City's limited ability to increase assessment rates to relieve the annual General Fund contribution to the District.

Introduction
Overview
The City of Placentia (the "City") serves and maintains streetlights and associated improvements (the "Improvements") in certain parts of the City. In order to fund the maintenance and operation (the "Services") of these projects and improvements, the City has formed Street Lighting District No. 81-1 ("District"). This Engineer's Report ("Report") was prepared to establish the budget for maintenance and operation of the Improvements (as described below) that will be funded by the 2023-24 assessments and other revenue, and to determine the general and special benefits received from the Improvements by property within the District and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels. This Report and the assessments have been made pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the "Act") and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (the "Article").

Engineer's Report and Continuation of Assessments
The assessment has been continued for over 30 years. In each subsequent year for which the assessments will be continued, the Placentia City Council (the "Council") must direct the preparation of an Engineer's Report, budgets, and proposed assessments for the upcoming fiscal year. After the report is completed, the City Council may preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report and the continued assessments and establish the date for a public hearing on the continuation of the assessments. Accordingly, this Engineer's Report (the "Report") was prepared pursuant to the direction of the City Council.

Beginning in 2014, SCI Consulting Group became the Assessment Engineer for the District.

Street Lighting District Background
Street Lighting District No. 81-1 was formed in 1981. Prior to that, the County of Orange had established and maintained street lighting assessment districts within the City of Placentia. After the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, the County decided to cease annexations to its existing districts. In response to that, the City formed its own district (No. 81-1) to allow for future development to be included in an assessment district providing street lighting services.

The portions of the City previously included in the County's street light assessment remained under the County's jurisdiction until 1996, when the City took over management of those areas. However, they were not annexed into District No. 81-1, and continue to be funded and operated separately from the District. Therefore, those areas and the parcels therein are not included in this report or the assessment calculations herein.

Legislative Analysis
Proposition 218
The Right to Vote on Taxes Act was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 1996, and is now Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. Proposition 218 provides for benefit assessments to be levied to fund the cost of providing services, improvements, as well as maintenance and operation expenses to a public improvement which benefits the assessed property
Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. V Santa Clara County Open Space Authority
In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority ("SVTA"). This ruling is the most significant court case in further legally clarifying the substantive assessment requirements of Proposition 218. Several of the most important elements of the ruling included further emphasis that:
■ Benefit assessments are for special benefits to property, not general benefits. ■ The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined.
■ Assessment districts must be drawn to contain all parcels that receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement.
■ Assessments paid in each assessment district must be proportional to the special benefit received by each such parcel from the improvements and services funded by the assessment.

1. The District is drawn to include the entire City; although only parcels deriving special benefits are included in the assessment rolls. Thus, zones of benefit are not required and the assessment revenue derived from real property in the District is extended only on the Improvements in the District.

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, FY 2023-24
ConsultingGroup

Page 4 ends

2. The Improvements which are constructed and maintained with assessment proceeds in the District are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the assessment. The Improvements provide illumination to streets and sidewalks enabling improved access to the residents of such assessed property. The proximity of the Improvements to the assessed parcels and the improved access and increased safety provided to of the residents of the assessed parcels by the Improvements provides a special benefit to the parcel being assessed pursuant to the factors outlined by the Supreme Court in that decision.

3. Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the Improvements financed with assessment revenues in the District benefit the properties in that District in a manner different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the City derive from such Improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in the District are more extensive than a general increase in property values.

4. The assessments paid in the District are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within that Assessment District receives from the Improvements because:

5. The specific lighting Improvements and maintenance and utility costs thereof in the District and the costs thereof are specified in this Report; and

6. Such Improvement and maintenance costs in the District are allocated among different types of property located within the District, and equally among those properties which have similar characteristics, such as single-family residential parcels, multi -family residential parcels, commercial parcels, industrial parcels, etc.

Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property
On June 8, 2009, the 4th Court of Appeal amended its original opinion upholding a benefit assessment for property in the downtown area of the City of Pomona in Dahms v.

Downtown Pomona Property ("Dahms"). On July 22, 2009, the California Supreme Court denied review. In Dahms the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties.

Bonander v. Town of Tiburon
On December 31, 2009, in Bonander v. Town of Tiburon ("Bonander"), the 1st District Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments primarily on the grounds that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based in part on relative costs within sub -areas of the assessment district instead of the overall cost of the improvements and the overall proportional special benefits.

Beutz v. County of Riverside
On May 26, 2010 the 4th District Court of Appeals issued a decision in the Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside ("Beutz"). This decision overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services was not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits.

Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeal issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits. Second, the court found that the City had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.

Compliance with Current Law
This Engineer's Report is consistent with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution and with the SVTA decision because the Improvements to be funded are clearly defined; the Improvements are directly available to and will directly benefit property in the District; and the Improvements provide a direct advantage to property in the District that would not be received in absence of the Assessments.

This Engineer's Report is consistent with Beutz, Dahms and Greater Golden Hill because the Improvements will directly benefit property in the District and the general benefits have been explicitly calculated and quantified and excluded from the Assessments. The Engineer's Report is consistent with Bonander because the Assessments have been apportioned based on the overall cost of the Improvements and Services and proportional special benefit to each property, rather than the proportional cost to the District to provide the Improvements to specific properties.

A. The Act requires that proceeds from the assessments must be deposited into a special fund that has been set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Moreover, funds raised by the assessment shall be used only for the purposes stated within this Report. Any balance remaining at the end of the Fiscal Year, June 30, must be carried over to the next Fiscal Year. The District may City of Placentia

also establish a reserve fund for contingencies and special projects as well as a capital improvement fund for accumulating funds for larger capital improvement projects or capital renovation needs. Any remaining balance would either be placed in the reserve fund, the capital improvement fund, or would be used to reduce future years' assessments.

B. The rate shown here is for an Assessment Unit (single family home or its equivalent). For the definition of the term AU and rates for other types of property, see the section titled, "Method of Assessment" and the sections following it in this report.

Method of Apportionment
This section of the Engineer's Report includes an explanation of the benefits to be derived from the installation, maintenance and servicing of the Improvements throughout the District and the Assessment methodology used to apportion the total Assessment to properties within the Assessment District.

The District consists of certain assessor parcels within the boundaries as defined by the Assessment Diagram referenced in this report and the parcels identified by the Assessor Parcel Numbers listed with the levy roll. The parcel list includes all privately and publicly owned parcels as shown. The method used for apportioning the Assessment is based on the proportional special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District over and above general benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large. The apportionment of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefit arising from the Improvements, and the second step is to allocate the Assessments to property based on the estimated relative special benefit for each type of property.

Discussion of Benefit
In summary, the Assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property.

This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. Moreover, such benefit is not based on any one property owner's use of the Improvements or a property owner's specific demographic status. With reference to the requirements for Assessments, Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 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 benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.

Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed that Assessments must be based on the special benefit to property and that the special benefits must exceed the cost of the assessment:

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, FY 2023-24
ConsultingGroup

Page 12 ends

No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.

The SVTA decision clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits.

A. Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the Assessments, would not have been created
B. Improved visibility and safety
C. Improved access
D. Improved community character and vitality
Special Benefit
The special benefits from the Improvements are further detailed below:

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, FY 2023-24
ConsultingGroup

Page 13 ends

Improved Visibility and Safety
Well maintained, effective street lighting provides special benefit to proximate parcels, within the range of the light, because it allows for safer and improved use of the property in the evenings and at night. Street lighting provides special benefit as it increases neighborhood safety and reduces the likelihood of crime on the proximate parcels. Over time, the Improvements continue to confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon parcels within the District because of the nature of the Improvements. The proper maintenance of the streetlights and appurtenant facilities reduces property -related crimes, especially vandalism, against assessed properties in the District.

Improved Access
Well maintained, effective street lighting enhances ingress, egress and accessibility of all forms to the assessed parcels in the evening and at night by increasing visibility. Improved visibility also helps prevent local and pedestrian traffic accidents related to the assessed parcels.

Improved Community Character and Vitality
Well maintained, effective street lighting promotes evening and nighttime social interaction of residents and customers of businesses and industry. This creates a positive atmosphere and enhanced community image in the evening and at night for the assessed parcels.

All of the above -mentioned items also contribute to a specific enhancement to each of the parcels within the District. The proximate street lights clearly make each parcel safer, more visible, more accessible, more useful, more valuable and more desirable; and this further strengthens the basis of these Assessments.

Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, FY 2023-24
ConsultingGroup

Page 14 ends

General Versus Special Benefit
The proceeds from the District are used to fund Improvements and increased levels of maintenance to the public facilities that serve and benefit the assessed properties in the District. In absence of the District, such Improvements would not be properly maintained.

Therefore, the District's purpose is to ensure that the necessary and beneficial public facilities for property in the District are properly maintained and repaired over time. The assessments will ensure that street lighting and associated improvements within and adjacent to the District are functional, well maintained and safe. These public resources directly benefit the property in the District and will confer distinct and special benefits to the assessed properties within the District. Moreover, in absence of the assessments, a condition of development would not be met and future construction in the District could be denied. The creation of individual lots, if any, and the approval for construction in the District, is the overriding clear and distinct special benefit conferred exclusively on property in the District and not enjoyed by other properties outside the District.

Therefore, the assessments solely provide special benefit to assessed property in the District over and above the general benefits conferred to the public at large or properties outside the District.

Although the Improvements maintained by the Services may be available to the general public at large, the Improvements and Services are specifically designed, located and created to provide additional and improved resources for property inside the District, and not the public at large. Other properties that are outside the District do not enjoy the unique proximity and other special benefit factors described previously. These Improvements and Services are of special benefit to properties located within the District because they provide a direct advantage to properties in the District that would not be provided in absence of the Assessments. Any general benefits to surrounding properties outside of the District, if any there were, are collateral and conferred concomitantly.

Quantification of General Benefit
Although the analysis used to support these assessments concludes that the benefits are solely special, as described above, consideration is made for the suggestion that a portion of the benefits are general. General benefits cannot be funded by these assessments — the funding must come from other sources.

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, FY 2023-24
ConsultingGroup

Page 15 ends

The maintenance and servicing of these improvements is also partially funded, directly and indirectly from other sources including the City of Placentia, Orange County, and the State of California. This funding comes in the form of grants, development fees, special programs, and general funds, as well as direct maintenance and servicing of other co - located facilities (e.g., curbs, gutters, streets, drainage systems, etc.). This funding from other sources more than compensates for general benefits, if any, received by the properties within the District.

In the 2009 Dahms case, the court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit on the rationale that the services funded by the assessments were directly provided within the assessment district. It is also important to note that the improvements and services funded by the assessments in Pomona are similar to the improvements and services funded by the Assessments described in this Engineer's Report, and the Court found these improvements and services to be 100% special benefit. Also similar to the assessments in Pomona, the Assessments described in this Engineer's Report fund Improvements and Services directly provided within the District, and every benefiting property in the District enjoys proximity and access to the Improvements. Therefore, Dahms establishes a basis for minimal or zero general benefits from the Assessments.

Step 1 — Calculate General Benefit
The General Benefits from this assessment may be quantified as illustrated in the following table.

Total Calculated General Benefit 3.75%
City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, FY 2023-24
ConsultingGroup

Page 16 ends

As a result, the City of Placentia will contribute at least 2.5% of the total budget from sources other than the assessment. This contribution offsets any general benefits from the Assessment Services.

Step 2 — Calculate the Current General Benefit Contribution from the City This general benefit contribution is the sum of the following components:

The City of Placentia owns, maintains, rehabilitates and replaces curb and gutter along the border of the District improvements. This curb and gutter serves to support, contain, retain, manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the Improvements.

The contribution from the City of Placentia towards general benefit from the maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

The City of Placentia owns and maintains a storm drainage system along the border of the District Improvements. This system serves to prevent flooding and associated damage to the improvements, and manage urban runoff including local pollutants loading from the Improvements. The contribution from the City of Placentia towards general benefit from the maintenance, and operation of the local storm drainage system is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

The City of Placentia owns and maintains local public streets along the border of the District Improvements. These public streets provide access to the Improvements for its enjoyment as well as efficient maintenance. The contribution from the City of Placentia towards general benefit from the maintenance of local public streets is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

Therefore the total General Benefit is conservatively quantified at 2.5% which is more than offset by the total non -assessment contribution towards general benefit of 13%.

The methodology used fairly distributes the cost of the street lighting system in relation to the benefits received. For Fiscal Year 2023-24 there are 3,696 parcels of property in the District, grouped into one of three benefit zones for assessment purposes. The District was originally established with five benefit zones (A though E) to distinguish variations in benefit. However, Zone C is no longer applicable.

The five benefit zones originally established for the District include the following:

Zone A: Single Family residential, whether detached or condominium.

Zone B: Commercial, industrial, churches, apartments, etc., either developed or in process of development.

Zone C:

Parcels in the former Santa Fe Lighting District No. 1. This zone designation was originally established to distinguish specific non-residential parcels that were previously part of the Santa Fe Lighting District No. 1 and were annexed to this District.

Originally, the assessments for these parcels included a temporary loan. The loan recoupment has been satisfied and these parcels are now included as part of Zone B.

Zone D: Parcels that have a recorded tentative or final map, but are not yet developed.

Zone E: Open Space, street areas, or landscape strip parcels are considered to receive no benefit. Parcels within this zone are exempt from assessment.

The basic methodology of apportionment developed for this District in 1981-82 is based on assessment unit. This methodology assigns each residential parcel in Zone A one assessment unit (AU). The relationship between residential parcels in Zone A and acreage parcels in Zone B was established at a six to one ratio based on general density figures for the City. Zone C originally designated parcels that were part of the former Santa Fe Street Lighting District No. 1. The assessments for parcels in Zone C originally included the conversion improvement costs associated with these parcels and were spread over a two-year period. These conversion costs have been satisfied and the Zone C parcels are now included in Zone B. Zone C has been eliminated. Zone D designates City of Placentia

parcels where the final tract or parcel maps have been approved and recorded, however construction is not yet in progress. This zone is assessed at 30% of one assessment unit per parcel or proposed parcels based on the approved tract map, whichever is the greater of the two.2 Annual Assessment Calculation
For fiscal year 2023-24, the amount of Assessments for the District is not increased from prior years. The calculations for maintenance, service and incidentals follows:
2 From the 2013-14 Engineer's Annual Levy Report, City of Placentia, Street Lighting District No. 81-1, dated June 4, 2013. Zone E was reported to have 33 parcels, but they were not identified in the accompanying data. Therefore those parcels are not included in the current data.

Because they are exempt from assessment, there is no effect on the assessment apportionment calculations.

Duration of Assessment
The District was formed or annexed in previous years. It is proposed that the Assessments be continued every year after their formation or annexation, so long as the public Improvements need to be maintained and improved, and the City requires funding from the Assessments for these Improvements in the Assessment Districts. As noted previously, the Assessment can continue to be levied annually after the City Council approves an annually updated Engineer's Report, budget for the Assessment, Improvements to be provided, and other specifics of the Assessment. In addition, the City Council must hold an annual public hearing to continue the Assessment.

STRATEGIC PLAN STATEMENT:

This item is consistent with the City Council approved 5 -Year Strategic Goal to achieve:

Implementation of Housing Element Strategies, Objective Number 3.10. This agenda item will specifically create opportunities for the development of more housing units in the City, including a mix of housing at various price points.

DISCUSSION:

In November 1998, Mr. John Coyan with S & S Construction applied for a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide and develop the vacant and undeveloped 18.29 -acre site with 74 dwelling units. The City of Placentia approved TTM 15700 in November 1998 for the development of 74 single -family residences on the approximately 18.29 -acre site. The whole 18.29 -acre site was previously used for oil production and remains disturbed. Active oil production facilities continue to operate on the easterly portion of the site on approximately 4 acres of this property.

City Council Agenda
June 6, 2023

Page 3 of 13 ends

The applicant, Toll Brothers, acquired the property and in 2022 submitted an entitlement request to subdivide and develop the property with a slightly smaller development footprint and an increase in the overall dwelling unit count. The applicant requests approval of a Specific Plan Amendment, Development Plan Review, and Vesting Tentative Tract Map to develop the unimproved 17.02 -gross acre lot (14.4 -net acres) for the construction of detached two-story dwelling units, each located on a separate parcel for a total of 100 lots with access along an internal private street system containing on street parking, pedestrian walkways, including landscaped parkways and passive and non -passive open space areas. The property is bordered by an existing Planned Unit Development (PUD) to the north, two-story, detached single-family residences to the east, including Champions Sports Complex, Village Center at Rose shopping center to the west, and an 80 -foot -wide public right-of-way (Alta Vista Street) and vacant commercial lot and two-story, detached single-family homes to the south. Primary access to the site will be provided from Alta Vista Street with access designed to align with the primary accessway to the recently developed "Camila" single-family residential community.

The existing Placentia General Plan land use designation for the subject property is Specific Plan and the zoning designation is Specific Plan No. SP -7. The property is further identified as part of the Low Residential Density (LDR) subarea under the East Placentia Specific Plan. Toll Brothers is requesting City approval of four applications as part of the 2022 revised project. The applications include Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 2022-01, Development Plan Review No.

DPR 2022-04, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. VTTM 19250, and Environmental Assessment No. EA 2022-01.

The SPA is an application to amend SP -7 to change the subarea land use designation of the subject property from LDR (maximum 6.0 du/ac) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) (maximum

15.0 du/ac) together with changes to the minimum lot size enumerated under Placentia Municipal Code (PMC) Section 23.107.070 Building Site Area from 3,100 square feet to 2,600 square feet and to modify PMC 23.107.100 for Building Setbacks under the Medium Density Residential Land Use Area to reduce the rear setback from 10 feet to 5 feet for primary structures and/or accessory structures, to reduce the separation between buildings from 15 feet to 10 feet for two-story buildings and to modify Table Note 1 to specify that the minimum required garage setback shall be 18 feet.

The project site is proposed to be developed as a new gated residential community known as Vista Rose consisting of 100 single-family, detached dwelling units, hardscape improvements for private streets, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, including both private and public decorative landscaping and a park site. A single primary private access road enters the property off of Alta Vista Street. Four private roadways designed to create an internal loop road will provide access to the proposed residences.

Access into the development will be controlled by two, approximately 15 -foot -wide security gates and a pedestrian security gate along the periphery of the entrance which will be located approximately 117 feet from Alta Vista Street. The project will have two entry lanes each measuring 15 feet wide, with one serving as a bypass lane equipped with both a call box and a 25 -foot -wide exit lane. The entry and exit lane will be separated by a landscape median containing a cut through lane in the event that a vehicle is unable to gain entry in the community. A system

of internal drive aisles will provide direct access to each individual garage. An additional pedestrian accessway will be provided with direct and controlled access to the adjacent Champions Sports Complex along Blankenship Circle. Decorative landscaping will be provided throughout the site and within the provided parkways that will line the internal private streets. ,%'\ � ', L1 j ► ' �, rem
Five floor plans are proposed which are noted on the development plans as Plan One, Plan Two, Plan Three/Three-X, and Plan Four. The plan types will measure between 1,859 square feet and 2,255 square feet in overall floor area and contain an attached two -car garage per unit. Each unit will have four bedrooms and three bathrooms and will primarily differentiate each plan type by the unit's overall square footage and layout based on the plan's specific location on the project site.

Two open space areas will be provided which will include both passive and non -passive open space within a pocket park and neighborhood park that will be private and accessible to only the residents of the community. The passive areas will feature seating areas, trellis shade structures, barbeques, and a fire pit. The nonpassive areas will feature an open lawn area, decorative walkways, benches, picnic benches, barbeques, shade structures, trash receptacles, and accent lighting.

Applicable Code Section — Placentia Municipal Code
The subject property is currently zoned SP -7 with an underlying land use designation of "Low Density Residential". The project will be required to comply with the development standards and use requirements set forth in the Placentia Municipal Code (PMC) for projects within the SP -7 Zoning District. Specific features of the development do not fully comply with the development standards, thereby requiring a SPA to amend SP -7 pursuant to Section 23.96.010 of the PMC.

Pursuant to PMC Section 23.75.010(a), construction of new buildings shall require a DPR to be reviewed and approved at a noticed public hearing before the Planning Commission.

Furthermore, in accordance with PMC Section 22.74.060, a Vesting Tentative Map shall require Planning Commission review at a noticed public hearing, to review and solicit a recommendation for final action on the proposed VTTM by the City of Placentia City Council. Due to the nature of the entitlements being intertwined, the SPA, DPR, and VTTM require a recommendation of approval by the Planning Commission for final approval by the City Council. On May 9, 2023, a

ZONING COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS
Site Development Standards
The project is located within the LDR Subdistrict of the SP -7 Zoning District. Due to the zone change requested through SPA 2022-01 the proposed detached, single-family residential development project will be analyzed in accordance with the MDR development requirements of the SP -7 Zoning District. The residential development is permitted with a DPR subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. Furthermore, in accordance with PMC Section

22.74.060, a Vesting Tentative Map shall require Planning Commission review at a noticed public hearing, to review and solicit a recommendation for final action on the proposed VTTM by the City of Placentia City Council. The subdivision will result in the creation of lots that are smaller in area than prescribed by the current MDR development standards. However, the SPA will remedy the deficiency and render the project fully compliant with the development standards subject to the proposed SPA receiving approval.

The proposed development and use comply with the proposed base zoning district in terms of the maximum height limit, minimum setbacks, maximum lot coverage and the MDR maximum density requirements. No impacts to nearby sensitive land use receptors (e.g., single-family residential) is anticipated because the project will be residential in nature and will provide adequate buffers along the easterly periphery of the site to existing single-family residences. Furthermore, the upzoning of the site from LDR to MDR for a 100 -unit development project will resemble the 6 du/ac maximum density of the adjoining properties who reside within the project area by yielding a project density of 6.9 du/ac.

The following matrix provides a summary of the development's compliance with the identified development standards:

Other Departments Concerns and Requirements
The Divisions of Planning and Building, Public Works Department, Police Department, and Fire and Life Safety Department have reviewed the application and submitted comments but had no major concerns with the proposal. All applicable code requirements and conditions of approval have been incorporated into draft resolutions for consideration and recommendation by the Planning Commission to the City Council for DPR 2022-04 and VTTM 19250.

ISSUES ANALYSIS:

Consistency with the General Plan
The General Plan features policies that promote the reinvestment of underutilized properties while being sensitive to the suburban atmosphere and requires new developments to provide adequate improvements and pay impact fees to offset the demand costs on city services and facilities. The proposed development and subdivision is consistent with the following Land Use Element and Housing Element policies and goals of the General Plan:

City Council Agenda
June 6, 2023

Page 9 of 13 ends

Land Use Element
Policy 1.2 — Allow for a variety of residential infill opportunities including single family, multi -family, mixed -use, manufactured housing and mobile homes, in designated areas to satisfy regional housing needs.

Policy 2.7 —Allow small lot single-family and medium -density development as infill projects and provide adequate development standards or design guidelines to ensure compatibility with surrounding residential uses.

Policy 5.1 — Encourage development projects to utilize high quality design for architecture and site planning through the City's design review process. Create Design Guidelines for focused areas and for development Citywide.

Policy 5.4 — Ensure compatible design with sensitive building massing and proportion.

Housing Element
Goal 1 — Develop and maintain an adequate supply of housing that varies sufficiently in cost, size, type, and tenure to meet the economic and social needs of existing and future residents within the constraints of available land.

California Housing Element law mandates that each city show it has adequate sites available through appropriate zoning and development standards and with the requirement public services and facilities for a range of housing types and incomes. The City must demonstrate that it has the capacity or adequate sites to accommodate the project needs for housing at all income levels.

Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the Council of Governments (COG) representing the region, in cooperation with local jurisdictions, is responsible for allocating the region's projected new housing demand in each jurisdiction. The process is known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and the goals are referred to as the "regional share" goals for new housing construction. The market rate housing development on a site that permits housing assists the City in achieving the goal for new housing construction in an area that otherwise prohibited housing of a greater density. Furthermore, it will greatly assist in providing additional units to address California's current housing crisis and assist in offsetting the city's "regional share" of housing units which is 4,374 residential units for the upcoming planning cycle.

Land Use Compatibility
The project will be compatible with the surrounding area as the development will revitalize an undeveloped and blighted property with 100, two-story, detached single-family homes sited on 100 individual parcels. The development will be located on an undeveloped property containing adjacent oil extraction operations within a fully developed and urban neighborhood. The development will provide a compatible transition between nearby land uses that complement the residential densities of the housing tracts to the north and east, including creating a symbiotic

City Council Agenda

Page 10 of 13 ends

relationship between the existing commercial shopping center to the west and subject development by catering to the needs of the future community. Based upon the use, overall site layout, building design, and site topography, the proposed development is not anticipated to result in any significantly adverse impacts to the surrounding area.

Architecture
The proposed project will include 100 buildings, that consist of 100 total units. There are four floor plans proposed (Plan 1, Plan 2, Plan 3/3X, and Plan 4), with three architectural styles per plan type resulting in 12 different production types. The residential buildings will employ Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean, and Tuscan architecture. Each building volume will be broken up utilizing various design techniques as exterior facade pop outs/building projections, inset front doors, partially inset windows, varying rooflines, use of natural exterior materials, and architectural embellishments that tie the buildings to the characteristics of the architectural style being proposed. These design techniques visually minimize the size/volume of the building. The project employs four-sided architecture by using the same material and embellishments on all four sides of a structure so that, no matter what vantage point it is viewed from, the design is never interrupted, and all the parts are perceived as part of a unified whole.

Planning, Community, Economic Development, and Housing Ad Hoc Committee All major development projects within the City of Placentia require review by the Housing, Community and Economic Development Ad Hoc Committee. The Committee reviewed this development on February 21, 2023, and the development was well received. The Committee did not request any significant changes to be made to the site layout but did have several comments regarding the architectural design of the project. The Committee did recommend approval of the proposed architectural styles in general but asked for additional architectural elements to be added to each of the building facades in order to minimize the occurrence of unarticulated facades, and to achieve architecture which is true to form. The applicant revised their elevations, which were then reviewed by staff, and ultimately reviewed a second time by the Ad Hoc Committee. The Committee then recommended approval of the revised elevations and of the overall project.

Community Meeting
On April 3, 2023, the applicant, Toll Brothers, conducted a community meeting at the Aguirre Building located along the northside of Champions Park. A little over 20 residents attended the meeting, including City Staff and two Councilmembers who were in attendance for observational purposes. A presentation was given by the applicant to the public along with a questions and answers session. Overall, the project was widely embraced by the general public with minimal concerns expressed about the overall project.

Planning Commission
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for this development on May 9, 2023. At the Planning Commission meeting held on May 9, 2023, the Planning Commission voted 4-1-1-0, (Rocke voted no, and Polichetti was absent), to recommend approval of the project based on Staffs recommendation. The recommended approvals included Specific Plan Amendment No.

SPA 2022-01, Development Plan Review No. DPR 2022-04, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.

VTTM 19250, and an Addendum to an Adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration for the aforementioned entitlements in full compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

CEQA
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code §§ 21000-21177) and pursuant to §15063 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), the City of Placentia, acting in the capacity of Lead Agency, is required to undertake the preparation of an Initial Study to determine if the proposed Project would have a significant environmental impact. This Initial Study was conducted relying on findings from an Adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration for Tentative Tract Map 15700. An Addendum to the previously adopted Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts (Mitigated Negative Declaration for Tentative Tract Map 15700) was prepared for the project wherein it was found that, with implementation of Mitigation Measures, including a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("MMRP"), the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the

environment. The mitigation measures have been added as conditions of approval. The Mitigation Measures were established to ensure any potential impact is less than significant with the implementation of the identified mitigation measures. The Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is provided as attachments to this report and staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Addendum.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
Legal notice was published in the Placentia News -Times on May 25, 2023. Notices were sent to property owners of record within a 300 -foot radius of the subject property, posted at the Civic Center, and on the City website on May 25, 2023. As of June 1, 2023, staff has received written correspondence from an adjacent neighbor expressing concerns related to the development project (Attachment 4). The first area of concern is pertaining to the proximity of the new homes to the existing oil extraction facility to the southeast portion of the site and the overall safety tied to potential odors generated from the oil extraction operations onto the residences. The second area of concern relates to a perimeter block wall that may fail due to the ongoing construction activities tied to the development. Furthermore, there is concern about providing access from the new community to Blankenship Circle and lastly the concern for the loss of the undeveloped land that served as quasi -open space for the area. City staff has evaluated the concerns and has determined all factors can be addressed (a) the oil extraction facility continuing to adhere to all state and local regulations related to maintenance and ongoing operations of oil facilities, (b) Toll Brothers ensure that any damage to existing improvements on adjacent private property are immediately repaired, (c) the secured/gated and lighted access to Champions Sports Complex will not pose any safety concerns but rather focus more attention onto this portion of the park by the new residents, thereby, creating additional monitoring by residents, and (d) all residences will adhere to all building and fire safety codes, which will factor light and ventilation into its overall development review.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed development will provide approximately $2,118,000 in one-time development impact fee revenue. Pursuant to the Placentia Municipal Code, the applicant has applied for a fee deferral agreement (attachment 4) to pay the associated Development Impact Fees for each phase in full at first issuance of building permits for each respective phase of the development.

The applicant also agreed to pay a one-time $600,000 Community Benefit payment to be utilized by the City for any Community Services related facilities or programming. The draft agreement is attached as Attachment 3.

The development is also conditioned to annex into the Public Services Community Facilities District 2014-01 (among other districts) which will provide ongoing annual revenues to support the Police Department and Placentia Fire and Life Safety Department which cumulatively will generate approximately $27,349.00 annually.

In addition to the aforementioned information, there will be additional positive revenue impacts associated with permanent job creation and construction job creation. Increased sales tax

Page 2 of 32 ends

c. The proposed development will be consistent with the latest adopted General Plan Land Use designation of the project area of "Specific Plan" and the "Medium Density" density maximum for the East Placentia Specific Plan (SP 7); and,
d. Conditions necessary to secure the purposes of Section 23.75.020, including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, are made part of the development approval.

Section 3. Vesting Tentative Tract Map. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Council during the public hearing conducted with regard to the Application, including written staff reports, verbal testimony and development plans, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The proposed project will not be: (1) detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed development or within the city, or (2) injurious to the property or improvements within the neighborhood or within the city. Subject to compliance with the attached Conditions of Approval set forth in Attachment "B" of this Resolution and by this reference incorporated herein and Standard Development Requirements, the project complies with all applicable code requirements and development standards of the Medium Density Residential subdistrict of the East Placentia Specific Plan Zoning District and Title 22, and with other applicable regulations of the Placentia Municipal Code (PMC); and, b. The proposed use is consistent with the City's General Plan.

The proposed project involves the development of a new residential community consisting of 100 two-story single-family, detached dwelling units; and, c. The proposed project as presented in the staff report and accompanying plans complies with the development standards of the Medium Density Residential subarea of the East Placentia Specific Plan and all requirements of Chapter

Page 3 of 32 ends

development project and related on and off -site improvements are in compliance with applicable requirements of the PMC; and, e. That the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map is to support the construction of 100 two-story single-family, detached dwelling units on the site. The proposed residential development is consistent with all polices, programs, and goals of the General Plan; and,
f. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development. The subject site is a 17.02 -gross acre area, which has been designed to accommodate the development, as well as sufficient parking and landscaping. Based on this, the subject site is adequate to accommodate the proposed residential development; and,
g.

That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The proposed subdivision is to allow the development of 100 two-story single-family, detached dwelling units on the site within the City of Placentia; and,

J.

The intent of SP -7 is to assure the consistent development of the East Placentia Specific Plan area in a manner which meets the growing housing needs of Placentia while adapting to the special characteristics of the land available for residential and commercial development. The proposed project will create additional housing that will increase the overall housing stock for the city. The applicant has designed the residential development in a manner that accomplishes all of the goals of the General Plan and Zoning Code, while avoiding significant impacts to the neighboring properties by utilizing proper site design, good architecture, and providing appropriate areas of open space.

Furthermore, the proposed design will aesthetically enhance the streetscape and overall neighborhood character, thus providing an aesthetically pleasing environment for those driving through and living within the project area; and, Resolution R-2023-39 ATTACHMENT 1

k. The proposed development's site plan and its design features, including architecture and landscaping, will integrate harmoniously with and enhance the character and design of the site, the immediate neighborhood, and the surrounding areas of the city. Currently the site is an underutilized undeveloped site.
