In 2018, the City initiated proceedings to form a proposed Landscape Maintenance District (referred to as LMD 18-1) within the boundaries of the existing LMD 83-1. Proposed LMD 18-1, would have added properties that previously were not assessed, established different benefit zones, and increased assessments currently imposed on properties in the existing LMD 83-1. Proposed LMD 18- 1 was balloted for an increase in assessments with annual cost indexing based on the San Diego- Carlsbad Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI), not to exceed 3.0 percent. Proposed LM D 18-1 had a majority protest and consequently failed to pass the ballot. LM D 18-1 was not formed.
FY 2025-26 assessment rates for Zone A, Zone Band Zone Care proposed to remain unchanged from the FY 2024-25 rates of $118.48, $235.75 and $496.16 per benefit unit per year, respectively.
LMD 83-1 currently has no approved escalation factor for increasing the maximum assessment rates.
The failure of an assessment increase by ballot for LMD 83-1 in FY 2017-18, led to a reduction in maintenance services. Landscape maintenance will remain at service level C for Zone A, Zone B and Zone C. Service level C consists of performing landscape maintenance (e.g., irrigation inspection, removal of trash and debris, trimming of shrubs, fertilizing, mowing, edging, pruning, and sweeping) for respective areas within LMD 83-1 on a monthly basis. Service levels may be subject to adjustments depending on frequency and magnitude of unplanned events.
