GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form, MATCH Instructions
The GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form on page 19 has three uses:

1. Establishing the GRANT SCOPE

2. Providing a concept-level cost estimate

3. Providing required MATCH information

1. Establishing the GRANT SCOPE:

The APPLICANT will use the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form to establish the expected GRANT deliverables for PROJECT COMPLETION. The APPLICANT must identify on the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form the RECREATION FEATURES and MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITIES that will be paid for with GRANT funds.

The APPLICANT will use the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form to describe only the RECREATION FEATURES and MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITIES that will be completed before the end of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD. All of the RECREATION FEATURES and MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITIES listed on the form must be completed before a final GRANT payment can be approved, or 20% of the grant will be retained in the CONTRACT.

Directions for establishing the GRANT SCOPE

1. Use one of the following phrases to describe the type of work for each RECREATION FEATURE and MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITY that will be funded by the GRANT. Modify the language as appropriate:
 “Acquire approximately…acres” (provide the approximate number of acres that will approximate number of acres that will be acquired as the RECREATION FEATURE) See the definition of ACQUISITION on page 45.
 “DEVELOPMENT of approximately … feet of TRAIL” (provide the approximate number of feet or miles that will be developed as per the GRANT SCOPE).

See the definition of DEVELOPMENT on page 46 and the definition of TRAIL on page 48.

Describe the RECREATION FEATURES in the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form:
a) Describe the ACQUISITION or DEVELOPMENT of a RECREATION FEATURE in the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form regardless of its estimated cost at the time of application.

Describe the MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITIES in the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form:
b) Include a permanently-fixed, stand-alone item of work to improve the appearance or use of the general PROJECT SITE on the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form only if its estimated cost at the time of application is $30,000 or more.

Examples of how (a) would be included in the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form:

HCF APPLICATION GUIDE 15 TRAILS

 A bridge would be an expected GRANT SCOPE deliverable only if the bridge is estimated to cost $30,000 or more, OR if the GRANT SCOPE deliverable is the only element that GRANT funds would pay for.
 Using decomposed granite on approximately 1,000 feet of TRAIL would be an expected GRANT SCOPE deliverable only if the TRAIL is estimated to cost $30,000 or more, OR if the GRANT SCOPE deliverable is the only element that GRANT funds would pay for.

Do NOT include MINOR SUPPORT AMENITIES in the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form.  Example: GRANT SCOPE is the “DEVELOPMENT of approximately 1,000 feet of TRAIL”.  The GRANTEE will have the flexibility to add a MINOR SUPPORT AMENITY for the TRAIL DEVELOPMENT, such as placing trash receptacles along the TRAIL.  If the cost of placing trash receptacles is less than $30,000, it is a MINOR SUPPORT AMENITY, and would be excluded on the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form as an expected GRANT deliverable.
 The APPLICANT would fold the cost of a MINOR SUPPORT AMENITY into the cost of the RECREATION FEATURE.
 The $30,000 level is based on the estimated cost for each stand-alone MINOR SUPPORT AMENITY and is not based on a cumulative cost of multiple MINOR SUPPORT AMENITIES.

2. Providing a concept-level cost estimate on the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form  Use the form on page 19 to provide the concept-level cost estimate fo r each RECREATION FEATURE and MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITY described in the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form.  Do not show contingency costs as a stand-alone item. Contingency costs should be included within RECREATION FEATURE and MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITY cost items.  The estimated TOTAL PROJECT COST on the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form must equal the estimated TOTAL PROJECT COST listed on the application form.  Although an APPLICANT may wish to utilize additional funding beyond HCF GRANT funds and required MATCH to complete the PROJECT, such additional funding should not be included on the GRANT SCOPE/cost estimate form. OGALS does not provide oversight for such funding.  If interpretive signage will be part of the GRANT SCOPE, it must be included on the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form, regardless of cost.
 If the estimated costs change during the course of the PROJECT, a revised GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form is not required, UNLESS the GRANT SCOPE item’s estimated cost is more than $30,000.
 The GRANTEE may only claim those costs directly related to the GRANT SCOPE.  Refer to the ELIGIBLE COSTS Chart (see page 41) when formulating a cost estimate.

HCF APPLICATION GUIDE 16 TRAILS

OGALS recommends that the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form includes allowances for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Sections 12101 et.seq.)
Each RECREATION FEATURE and MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITY listed in the GRANT SCOPE and their related paths of travel from parking lots and/or roadsides must be designed to accommodate persons with disabilities.

3. MATCH Requirement
 The HCF MATCH amount is based on the cost of the amount of HCF funds.  The APPLICANT is responsible for providing a MATCH amount that is a dollar-for-dollar MATCH of the amount of HCF funds.
 List required MATCH funds, sources, and the amount of HCF funds to be used on the GRANT PROJECT on the GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form.
 HCF GRANTS may be combined with other eligible grants to fund a PROJECT. To meet the HCF GRANT MATCH requirements, other eligible grant(s) must have adequate costs to be incurred that are the same as the HCF GRANT SCOPE.
 The MATCH funds must be committed at the time of application.

Eligible MATCH Sources

 Local funds, including local general funds and local bond funds.

 Private funds.

 Donated materials and services (e.g., IN-KIND services, FORCE-ACCOUNT LABOR).

 Value of donated land (for ACQUISITION PROJECTS only).

 Federal funds.

Ineligible MATCH Source
 State funds
Rules regarding MATCH
 MATCH can only be spent on ELIGIBLE COSTS.
 INDIRECT COSTS cannot be used as MATCH.
 The GRANT and the required MATCH amounts combined cannot pay for more than 25% of PRE-CONSTRUCTION COSTS (See ELIGIBLE COSTS chart on page 41) of the total HCF PROJECT.

DATE:June 7, 2023
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Noah Daniels, Finance Director
Kelly Guerra, Special Districts Analyst
SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve and Adopt Resolutions Certifying the Results of Elections and Adding Annexation No’s. 2023-3, 2023-4, 2023-5, and 2023-6 to Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Street Lighting Services) of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. (RESOLUTION NOS. 2023- 046, 2023-047, 2023-048 and 2023-049) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve and adopt the Resolutions Certifying the Results of Elections and Adding Annexations No. 2023-3, 2023-4, 2023-5, and 2023-6 to Community Facilities District No. 2022-01.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-063 (the “Resolution Authorizing Future Annexation”) authorizing the future annexation of territory to Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Street Lighting Services) (the “CFD 2022-01”) to provide maintenance and services to streetlights, traffic signals, and appurtenant facilities for new development.

The City conditions property owners to annex such properties into the existing CFD 2022-01 to fund street light service and maintenance. In April 2023, the Property Owners signed an Annexation Proceeding Deposit Agreement to initiate the annexation process.

ANALYSIS:

In May 2023, the Property Owners submitted their Consent and Waivers and their Official Ballots, one for each annexation, to the City Clerk’s Office Election Official. The Election Official has canvassed the ballots and completed the statement of votes cast (See Exhibit “A” of their respective Resolution). The Property Owners cast their vote unanimously in favor of the special tax levy for CFD 2022-01.

Adoption of the Resolutions constitutes the City Council’s formal action certifying the election results and adding the Annexation Territories to CFD 2022-01 and directs the recordation of an amendment to the existing Notice of Special Tax Lien. By recordation of this amendment, prospective purchasers of the property within the Annexation Territories will have notice of the special tax obligation affecting such properties.

A map showing the property is included in their respective Resolution.

1 8
3 2
FISCAL IMPACT:

CFD 2022-01 was formed to be financially self-sufficient, meaning the revenues generated by the District offset the costs of providing services and can be adjusted annually based on changes in the overall operating costs of streetlights.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:

This item addresses the City Council’s goal to ensure the fiscal sustainability of the City’s special districts. This item also supports the City Council’s core values of intentionally embracing and anticipating the future.

ATTACHMENTS:

Attachment 1 – Resolution Certifying the Results of an Election and Adding Annexation 2023-3 Attachment 2 – Resolution Certifying the Results of an Election and Adding Annexation 2023-4 Attachment 3 – Resolution Certifying the Results of an Election and Adding Annexation 2023-5 Attachment 4 – Resolution Certifying the Results of an Election and Adding Annexation 2023-6

ANNEXATION MAP

DATE:June 7, 2023
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Matt Marquez, Director of Planning & Economic Development SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolutions Declaring Pursuant to Government Code Section 54221 that Certain Real Properties Owned by the City are Surplus Land and Not Necessary for City Use, Finding that Such Declaration is Exempt from Environmental Review Under the California Environmental Quality Act, and Taking Related Actions Thereto. (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-050, RESOLUTION NO. 2023-051 AND RESOLUTION NO. 2023- 052) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolutions, including the Notices of Availability subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney, declaring pursuant to Government Code Section 54221 that certain real properties owned by the City are surplus land and not necessary for the City’s use, finding that such declarations are exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, and taking related actions.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Rancho Cucamonga is the owner in fee simple of certain real properties (“Properties”) located at the following locations:
•Northwest corner of East 8 th Street and Baker Avenue (APN: 0207-541-60) – this undeveloped property measures approximately 2.31 acres. •Southwest corner of Azusa Court and Milliken Avenue (APN: 0209-272-27) – this parcel measures approximately 1.85 acres and is currently being used as a parking lot. •North of Arrow Route between the Interstate 15 and south of Day Creek Boulevard (APNS:
0229-021-81, 0229-021-80, and 0229-021-91) – this undeveloped property measures approximately 10.55 acres.

Under the Surplus Land Act, Government Code Sections 54220-54234 (“Act”), surplus land is land owned in fee simple by the City for which the City Council takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring the land is surplus and not necessary for the City’s use. The Act provides that land shall be declared either surplus land or exempt surplus land before the City may take action to dispose of it consistent with the City’s policies or procedures.

1 8
4 9
Under the Act, land is necessary for the City’s use if the land is being used or is planned to be used pursuant to a written plan adopted by the City Council, for City work or operations. The Act specifies that the City’s use does not include commercial or industrial uses, and land that is disposed of for the sole purpose of investment or generation of revenue is not necessary for the City’s use.

ANALYSIS:

The East 8 th Street and Baker Avenue site is not currently being used by the City and City staff has evaluated the Property for its potential to be used for City work or operations. Staff has determined that the Property is not suitable for the City’s use. The Azusa Court and Milliken property is currently being used as a parking lot near an existing Metrolink station. Future construction on other parcels in the area, which are not owned by the City, will include additional structured parking. Therefore, this City owned site will no longer be needed to be used for public parking and City staff has determined that the Property is not suitable for other City uses. The site north of Arrow Route between the Interstate 15 and south of Day Creek Boulevard is currently vacant and not being used by the City. City staff also evaluated it for its potential to be used for City work or operations and has determined that the site is not suitable for the City’s use.

Staff recommends that the City Council declare that these Properties are surplus land and not necessary for the City’s use.

The Act requires that before the City Council disposes of these Properties or engages in negotiations to dispose of these Properties, the City must send a written notice of availability (“NOA”) of the Properties, which includes the location and description of each property, to certain designated entities. In accordance with Government Code 54222, parties will have sixty (60) days from the date the NOA is sent to notify the City of their interest in acquiring any of the properties. The City is then required to enter into at least ninety (90) days of good faith negotiations with entities desiring to acquire a Property on terms that comply with the Act.

Negotiations do not include commissioning an appraisal, due diligence, discussions with brokers or agents who are not representing a potential buyer, studies to determine value or the best use of the land, the issuance of a request for qualifications, development of marketing materials, or discussions exclusively among City employees and elected officials.

If the City does not agree to price and terms with a designated entity or if no designated entity responds to the NOA, the City can proceed to sell or lease these Properties to any entity.

However, if ten or more residential units are developed on a Property, not less than 15% of the total residential units developed on the Property must be made available at an affordable cost or affordable rent to low-income households pursuant to a covenant recorded against the land.

An estimated timeline for the associated SLA process is as follows:

1.6/7/23 – Properties declared surplus land by City Council.

2.6/8/23 – City releases NOA’s (60 day NOA response period begins).

3.8/7/23 – Last day for City to receive letters of interest to purchase or lease (60 day NOA response period expires).

4.8/14/23 (plus/minus) – Beginning of 90 day negotiations period. If no letters of interest are received, move forward to step 6.

1 8
4 9

5.11/12/23 (plus/minus) – 90 day negotiations period expires.

6.HCD Review – Once any negotiations have concluded, but before agreeing to a sale price and terms, or lease terms, the City must submit the disposition to HCD for review. If there were no letters of interest received, the City still must submit to HCD for review and approval of the associated process. HCD’s review can take up to 30 days.

7.HCD’s Findings – HCD will provide the City with their findings and may issue a notice of violations. If such notice is issued, City will have 60 days to submit corrected information/documentation to HCD. HCD’s review of corrected information/documentation can take up to 30 days.

8.HCD Clearance – Once City has clearance from HCD City can then execute a PSA, lease agreement, lease option, etc.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUAILTY ACT (CEQA):

The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that the declaration of surplus land has no likelihood of causing a significant negative effect on the environment. This finding is premised on the fact that no project or physical changes are proposed for the Properties and this declaration is merely an administrative procedure before the City may dispose of the Properties. Based upon these findings, the staff recommends that the City Council determine that these Resolutions are exempt from the application of the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:

This action is in keeping with the Council’s vision to create an equitable, sustainable, and vibrant City, by setting the stage for appropriate, high-quality reuse of these properties in the future.

DATE:June 7, 2023
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Noah Daniels, Finance Director
Kelly Guerra, Special Districts Analyst
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of Resolutions for the Landscape Maintenance Districts, Street Lighting Maintenance Districts, and Park and Recreation Improvement District as follows: (1) Resolutions Ordering the Preparation of the Annual Engineer’s Reports; (2) Resolutions Approving the Preliminary Annual Engineer’s Reports; (3) Resolutions of Intention to Levy Annual Assessments and Sets the Time and Place for a Public Hearing for Each. (RESOLUTION NOS. 2023-053 TO 2023-061) (CITY) RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions for Landscape Maintenance District Nos. 1, 2, 3B, 4-R, 6-R, 7, 8, 9, and 10 (“LMD”); Street Lighting Maintenance District Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (“SLD”); and Park and Recreation Improvement District No. PD-85 (PD- 85) (collectively, the “Districts”):

1. Adopt Resolutions Ordering the Preparation of the Annual Engineer’s Reports;

2. Adopt Resolutions Approving the Preliminary Annual Engineer’s Reports;

3. Adopt Resolutions of Intention to Levy Annual Assessments and Sets a Public Hearing for July 19, 2023.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Rancho Cucamonga oversees the management of Districts, which involves determining the assessment rates that property owners must pay. These annual assessments are included in property tax bills and contribute to the maintenance and operation of parks, landscaping, and street lights in their respective communities.

To establish the assessment rates for the upcoming fiscal year, the City Council follows a process which includes several steps for the Districts:

1. The City Council initiates the creation of the Annual Engineer’s Report.

2. The City Council reviews and accepts the preliminary Annual Engineer’s Report.

3. The City Council announces its intention to levy annual assessments and sets a date and location for a public hearing.

4. The City Council conducts a public hearing and takes action to confirm the Districts and determine the assessments for the upcoming fiscal year.

1 8
5 7
The City Council will receive the preliminary Annual Engineer’s Reports; however, the approval of these reports is not final until after the City Council holds a public hearing on July 19, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. Following the public hearing, the City Council may pass a resolution confirming the assessment levy as recommended. Once this resolution is officially adopted, the Districts will be reaffirmed for the upcoming fiscal year, and the assessments will be added to the San Bernardino County tax rolls before the August deadline. These assessments will appear as a separate item on each parcel’s property tax bill.

The recommended rates have been developed as part of the Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget process and are included in the projected revenues for each District.

ANALYSIS:

Each District within the City has its own distinct improvements based on its boundaries and the community it serves. It is important to note that each District’s assessment rate must adhere to the maximum allowable rate as mandated by state law. To ensure the financial viability of each District, the City’s staff conducts an annual financial analysis. This analysis considers the current operational requirements as well as the anticipated needs for future capital replacements within each District.

During the budget process, the City staff evaluates each District’s financial situation and provides a recommendation for assessment rates to the City Council. The recommended rates are designed to align with the operational and capital needs of each District for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2023/24. As such, the recommended assessment rates are based on various factors, including inflation, the rising costs associated with providing services, and the need to secure funding for necessary capital expenditures.

Where possible, staff is recommending increases to ensure that sufficient funds are available to cover the increasing costs of maintaining and operating the Districts. In specific, costs associated with providing services such as park maintenance, landscaping, and street lighting have increased due to labor costs, materials, and rising utility rates. Moreover, staff increases rates to ensure funding is set aside for future capital expenditures, which is essential for the long-term sustainability of the Districts.

When not possible to increase rates, staff has reviewed whether the District should receive a “General Benefit Equivalent” contribution from the City’s General Fund, which are authorized by the City Council. These subsidies to support the District are due to a structural financial deficit, meaning the District lacks the ability to increase assessment rates to offset increasing costs. Per City policy, the amount of the General Benefit Equivalent will not exceed 11% of the adjusted total budget. The following districts are recommended to receive a General Benefit Equivalent in Fiscal Year 2023/24 to ensure the provision and essential services to the community:
•LMD 1: A contribution of $66,960.
•LMD 6-R: A contribution of $42,740.
•SLD 2: A contribution of $96,900.
•SLD 5: A contribution of $19,940.
•SLD 7: A contribution of $21,590.
•PD-85: A contribution of $112,000, allocated as $32,700 for the operations of Red Hill and Heritage Parks and $79,300 for the Red Hill Water Feature.

1 8
5 7
An exception to the General Fund providing funding to a district is known as a “General Benefit Contribution.” As mandated by law after voter-approved rate increases, this contribution quantifies the monetary value of a general benefit provided to the overall community by the District. For Fiscal Year 2023/24, LMD 2 is budgeted to receive a General Benefit Contribution of $369,270 in accordance with a measure approved by the voters.

A summary of the analysis for the recommended assessment rates for the Fiscal Year 2023/24:
•Certain Districts cannot have increased assessment rates without voter approval. For LMD 1, LMD 7, LMD 8, SLDs 1 to 7, and PD-85, assessments cannot be increased, so services are reduced where feasible to lower operating costs, or capital projects have been deferred. In cases where a reduction is not possible, and an operating deficit remains, a subsidy from the General Fund has been budgeted to bridge the gap. •No changes are recommended for the assessment rates in LMD 3B, LMD 9, and SLD 8, as staff has determined that the current rates are sufficient to meet the operational needs of these Districts.
•A 5.0% increase is recommended for LMD 2, from $518.88 to $544.82, which is below the maximum allowable rate of $579.73. This increase is necessary to cover rising operational costs, and fund planned capital improvement projects. Notable capital expenditures include $1.2 million for the installation of drought-tolerant landscaping, $250,000 for retrofits of paseo lights, and $250,000 for park upgrades at Ellena and Vintage Parks, funded by a State grant.
•A 5.0% increase is recommended for LMD 4-R, from $397.15 to $417.01 per single-family residence, also below the maximum allowable rate of $516.80. This increase is required to address increased operational costs and support capital improvement projects. Notable capital expenditures include $838,000 for the installation of drought-tolerant landscaping and $943,750 for the replacement and installation of a new rubberized surface and playground equipment at Mountain View Park.
•A 3.0% increase is recommended for LMD 6-R, from $475.93 to $490.21 per single-family residence, which aligns with the maximum allowable rate. During the budget analysis, it was determined that the budgeted operating and capital expenditures exceeded the budgeted revenues, indicating the need for a rate adjustment. LMD 6-R receives a subsidy of $42,740 from the City General Fund.
•A 5.0% increase is recommended for LMD 10, from $804.92 to $845.17 per single-family residence, remaining below the maximum allowable rate of $1,068.49. This increase is necessary to cover increased operational costs, and fund planned capital improvement projects. Notable capital expenditures include $384,000 for upgrading the sports lighting fixtures with LED lighting at two baseball fields in Day Creek Park.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Assessment revenues collected for each District are dedicated to its maintenance, operations, and capital improvements. The Annual Engineer’s Report outlines the estimated costs for each District. Some Districts receive additional support from the City General Fund, either due to legal requirements or City policy. These budgeted amounts are approved by the City Council during the budget approval process.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:

This item addresses the City Council’s core value of intentionally embracing and anticipating the future by highlighting the City Council’s commitment to reporting assessment revenues and providing public services. It also emphasizes the City Council actively seeking and considering public input about the financial sustainability of the Districts through a scheduled public hearing on July 19, 2023.

In making the assessments contained herein pursuant to the 1972 Act:

1. I have identified all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them from the improvement described in the Special Benefit Section of this Annual Engineer’s Report (the “Specially Benefited Parcels”). For particulars as to the identification of said parcels, reference is made to the Assessment Diagram, a copy of which is included in this Annual Engineer’s Report.

2. I have evaluated the costs and expenses of the improvements upon the Specially Benefited Parcels. In making such evaluation:
a. The proportionate special benefit derived by each Specially Benefited Parcel from the improvements was determined in relationship to the entirety of the maintenance costs of the improvements;
b. No assessment has been imposed on any Specially Benefited Parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on such parcel from the improvements; and
c. Any general benefits from the improvements have been separated from the special benefits and only special benefits have been assessed.

I, the undersigned, respectfully submit the enclosed Annual Engineer’s Report and, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, I certify that the Annual Engineer’s Report and Assessment Diagram included herein have been prepared and computed in accordance with the order of the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Assessment Law.

INTRODUCTION
Reason for Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to:

Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include, but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility such as paseos, community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, and providing for the growth, vigor and care of the trees and landscape plant materials. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscape or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District.

Process for Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District.

The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which:
•Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein.
•Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
•Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District.
•Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. •Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment.
•States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.

If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest. During the course or upon

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 1
conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.

The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing, must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment.

If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the boundaries of the District.

Description of the Boundaries of the District
The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of the District are generally described as that area of the City which is not located within the City's planned development communities. The District is made up of various landscaped sites throughout the City. As such, the parcels within the District do not represent a distinct district area as do the other landscape maintenance districts within the City. Typically parcels have been annexed to the District as they have developed.

Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report.

Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements maintained by the District include the paseos, community trails, trees, landscaped sites and appurtenant facilities that are throughout the District. These improvements are located within the street right-of-ways and dedicated public easements which are within the boundaries of the District. The landscaping maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the pruning, fertilizing, mowing, weeding, pest control, removal of trash/debris, and irrigation of the trees, shrubs, vines, ground cover, and turf. Maintenance of associated improvements and facilities, such as community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, includes but is not limited to, grading and replacement of trail surfacing, trail fence repair and replacement, steel fence painting, repair and replacement, and irrigation systems control, adjustment, trouble-shooting, repair and

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 5 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 1
replacement. Services include personnel, materials, contracting services, utilities, capital projects and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and repair required to keep the improvements in a healthy, vigorous and satisfactory condition. In addition, it is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, including the future ability to replace landscaping with drought resistant or low water use plants, in order to lower expenses of the District. The breakdown of maintained areas is as follows:

Parks: Bear Gulch Park, East and West Beryl Park, Old Town Park, Church Street Park, Golden Oaks Park, Hermosa Park, and the undeveloped Don Tiburcio Tapia Park.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements.

The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements.

Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:

The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.

The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California].

Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement." Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways.

The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 26 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 1
the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit, where only special benefit is assessed.

General Benefit
Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred," and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed.

In this District, the improvements being financed consists of the maintenance of local improvements located within the boundaries of the District and include paseos, street trees, landscaped areas, Parks - Bear Gulch Park, East and West Beryl Park, Old Town Park, Church Street Park, Golden Oaks Park, Hermosa Park, and the undeveloped Don Tiburcio Tapia Park and appurtenant facilities that are located throughout the General City and were installed to create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for parcels within the District. The improvements are situated within the public rights-of-way of the internal local street network within the General City which provides ingress and egress for parcels within the District to access the City’s system of arterial streets. City residents and traffic from parcels not within the District do not use the internal local street network or paseos except for the express purpose of accessing properties located within the District, and therefore do not benefit from the improvements. Only parcels which are within the District and proximate to the improvements and within the District are being assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between each parcel being assessed and the improvements to be funded by the assessment that does not exist for parcels outside of the District boundary and that is particular and distinct from that shared by the public at large. Under these circumstances, all of the benefits conferred are direct and local in nature, and provide a benefit to only those parcels located within the boundaries of the District.

Based upon this, it has been determined that there is no quantifiable general benefit to the surrounding community and the public in general from the maintenance of the improvements within the boundaries of the District, and therefore no portion of the project costs should be attributed to general benefit.

Special Benefit
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the properties within the District and, as such, confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within the District by:
•improving the livability, appearance, and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District, and

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 27 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 1
•ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties within the District, and •providing beautification, shade and overall enhancement to properties within the District.

The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the District, only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance.

Method of Assessment Spread
Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements.

Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements.

When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined are now being levied differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed.

To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment.

A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment.

Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units
Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier
Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel
Multi-Family Residential 0.50 Unit
Non-Residential 2.00 Acre
The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.

The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2023/24 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District:

Maximum Allowable Assessment Rate per EBU
Actual Assessment Rate per EBU Total Units/Acres Total EBUs Single Family Residential $92.21 $92.21 8,413.00 8,413.00 Multi-Family Residential 92.21 92.21 10,382.00 5,191.00 Non-Residential 92.21 92.21 8.83 17.67
The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the landscaping and community trail improvements is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report.

In making the assessments contained herein pursuant to the 1972 Act:

1. I have identified all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them from the improvement described in the Special Benefit Section of this Annual Engineer’s Report (the “Specially Benefited Parcels”). For particulars as to the identification of said parcels, reference is made to the Assessment Diagram, a copy of which is included in this Annual Engineer’s Report.

2. I have evaluated the costs and expenses of the improvements upon the Specially Benefited Parcels. In making such evaluation:
a. The proportionate special benefit derived by each Specially Benefited Parcel from the improvements was determined in relationship to the entirety of the maintenance costs of the improvements;
b. No assessment has been imposed on any Specially Benefited Parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on such parcel from the improvements; and
c. Any general benefits from the improvements have been separated from the special benefits and only special benefits have been assessed.

I, the undersigned, respectfully submit the enclosed Annual Engineer’s Report and, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, I certify that the Annual Engineer’s Report and Assessment Diagram included herein have been prepared and computed in accordance with the order of the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Assessment Law.

INTRODUCTION
Reason for Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to:

Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this Engineer’s Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility such as paseos, community trails, fencing and irrigation systems, and providing for the growth, vigor and care of the trees and landscape plant materials. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscape or appurtenant facilities. This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District.

Process for Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District.

The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which:
•Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the District for the fiscal year stated therein.
•Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
•Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the District.
•Refers to the Engineer’s Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District.
•Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment.
•States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.

If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 2
hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.

During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.

The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment.

If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the boundaries of the District.

Description of the Boundaries of the District
The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of the District are generally described as that area located south of the 210 Freeway, west of Etiwanda Ave, southwest of the I-15 Freeway, and east of Haven Ave, also known as the Victoria Neighborhood Parks and Landscape Maintenance District, and are more particularly in the diagram of the District included herein.

Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report.

Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements located in and serviced and maintained by the District generally include: the landscaping and associated landscape lighting and irrigation systems installed along the roadways, medians, and community trails; sidewalks; and six neighborhood parks that are of direct and special benefit to the parcels within the District. These improvements are located within the public right-of-ways and dedicated public easements which are within the boundaries of the District. The landscaping maintenance includes, but is not limited to, pruning, fertilizing, mowing, weeding, pest control, removal of trash/debris/graffiti, and irrigation of the trees, shrubs, vines, ground cover, and turf.

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 5 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 2
parks and irrigation systems, includes but is not limited to, the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of the improvement or facility; grading and replacement of trail surfacing; trail fence repair and replacement; and irrigation systems control, adjustment, repair and replacement.

BENEFITS FROM IMPROVEMENTS AND QUANTIFICATION
Benefits from Improvements
The improvements previously defined are expected to confer certain special benefits to parcels within the District. The benefits are described below.

Sidewalks and Community Trails
People walk for a variety of reasons, whether the reason is to commute to work or school, run errands, shop, leisure activities, fitness, or some other purpose. To enhance the overall walking experience, pedestrians seek out and utilize sidewalk facilities and community trails that are in close proximity to their property and provide a safe place to walk as well as an environment that provides a certain amount of visual interest. Sidewalks and community trails serve as a critical component in the transportation network providing users access to parks and recreational areas, schools, commercial areas, and neighbors. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sidewalks provide many benefits including safety, mobility and healthier communities (FHWA, n.d). •Improved Aesthetics: A survey conducted by DMB (an Arizona based commercial developer) found that there was a strong demand for communities characterized by pedestrian access, a sense of connection, and a sense of community and diversity (Urban Land Institute, 2006). According to the Urban Land Institute report Creating Walkable Places: Compact Mixed-Use Solutions, people want their neighborhoods to provide more opportunities to walk (Urban Land Institute, 2006). A survey sponsored by the Surface Transportation Policy Project found that 55% of respondents would like to walk more, 63% would like to run errands on foot and walk to stores, and 79% would like sidewalks and other places to walk and exercise (Urban Land Institute, 2006). The continued maintenance of the inter-connecting sidewalks and community trails improves the livability and appeal for properties within the District. •Increased Safety: According to the FHWA, sidewalks reduce roadway accidents, including pedestrian/motor vehicle accidents. In addition, roadways without sidewalks are more than twice as likely to have pedestrians involved in accidents compared to sites with sidewalks on both sides of the street (FHWA, n.d.). In 2008, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) National Pedestrian Crash Report identified California as one of the states with the highest number of pedestrian deaths (NHTSA, 2008).
•Economic Activity: Uniform and well-maintained sidewalk and community trail improvements create cohesion throughout the District. This cohesion enhances both the residential and retail experience as well as encourages maximum use of building and lot area. According to Active Living Research (2010), economic benefits of walkable developments include enhanced marketability and faster sales or leases than conventional development. The National Complete Streets Coalition notes that street

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 28 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 2
design that is inclusive of all modes of transportation, where appropriate, not only improves conditions for and access to existing businesses, but also is a proven method for attracting new development (Pugliese, 2008).

Street Landscaping
The overall appeal and safety of an area is enhanced when landscaping improvements are in place and kept in a healthy and satisfactory condition. Conversely, appeal and safety decreases when landscaping is overgrown, unsafe or destroyed by the elements or vandalism. •Improved Aesthetics: Street landscaping improvements improve the livability, commercial activity, appearance and desirability for properties within the boundaries of the District. Regular maintenance ensures that the improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties adjacent to or in close proximity to the improvements within the District. According to the Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011), streetscapes have a significant effect on how people view and interact with their community. With streetscapes that are safe and inviting, people are more likely to walk, which can help reduce automobile traffic, improve public health, stimulate local economic activity and attract residents to the community. •Increased Safety: Safety for pedestrians involves not only a degree of protection from vehicular accidents, but also from criminal activity. Well maintained areas mitigate crime, especially vandalism, and enhance pedestrian safety. A recent study has found that after landscape improvements were installed, there was a 46% decrease in crash rates across urban arterial and highway sites and a second study reviewed found a 5% to 20% reduction in mid-block crashes after trees and planters in urban arterial roads were put in place. In addition, there is less graffiti, vandalism, and littering in outdoor spaces with natural landscapes than in comparable plant-less spaces (Wolf, 2010). The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011) has found that streetscapes reduce traffic speeds, and when combined with improved pedestrian crossing conditions, can significantly reduce collisions. Furthermore, maintained sidewalks and trails increase pedestrian safety by reducing the number of trips and falls from those using the improvements.
•Economic Activity: Well-maintained street landscape improvements not only make adjacent properties appear more stable and prosperous, but can spur investment in the property. According to the FHWA, landscaped sidewalks create an inviting place for customers to shop and do business (FHWA, 2001).

Parks
Park facilities enhance the overall quality of an area and are an important component of complete and sustainable neighborhoods. Neighborhood parks offer both active and passive recreational opportunities: a place to play, exercise, spend time with neighbors, or relax. The parks within the District are developed and maintained to appeal to all age groups and interests,

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 29 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 2
and promote a healthy community. Recreation and park facilities have proven to be a potent factor in maintaining a high standard of livability in the community. •Improved Aesthetics. The park improvements provide beautification, shade and enhancement to properties, which creates a sense of community for the parcels within the District. The overall appeal and desirability of an area is enhanced when public parks and recreational facilities are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean and maintained. Conversely, appeal and desirability decrease when park and recreational facilities are unsafe or destroyed by the elements or vandalism. According to The Trust for Public Land, Corporate CEOs say that employee quality of life is the third most important factor in locating new businesses (Harnik and Welle, n.d.). •Economic Activity: Parks attract both businesses and residents to communities.

According to The Trust for Public Land, small company owners say recreation, parks and open spaces in close proximity to properties used for business purposes are the highest priority in choosing a new location for their businesses.

As a result of the collective improvements (sidewalks, community trails, street landscaping and parks) being maintained, the overall livability for properties within the District will increase.

Livability encompasses several qualities and characteristics that are unique to a specific area.

The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011) expands on the concept of livability and the various benefits associated with that designation:

The livability of an area increases property desirability and business activity. Livability is largely affected by conditions in the public realm, places where people naturally interact with each other and their community, including streets, parks, transportation terminals and other public facilities. Livability also refers to the environmental and social quality of an area as perceived by employees, customers and visitors. This includes local environmental conditions, the quality of social interactions, opportunities for recreation and entertainment, aesthetics, and existence of unique cultural and environmental resources.

Quantification of Benefit
As a result of the District maintenance and servicing activities, there will be a level of general benefits to people that do not live in or intend to conduct business within the District. In order for property within the District to be assessed only for that portion of special benefits received from the District maintenance and servicing activities, general benefits provided by the ongoing maintenance and servicing of the improvements needs to be quantified. The amount of general benefit that is provided from the District maintenance activities cannot be funded via property owners’ assessments.

The District currently consists of 5,843 single family residences, 525 condominium units, 589 multi-family (apartment) units, 51.88 acres of commercial property, 4 schools, 1 Church, 1 fire

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 30 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 2
station, and 56.54 acres of undeveloped property. Properties are classified by their land use code as shown on San Bernardino County’s latest secured roll.

Sidewalks and Community Trails
The City is comprised of many smaller communities located throughout the City. Most of the communities have parks and schools that are proximate to and serve the residents in their immediate vicinity. There are four schools in addition to the six parks within the District. Two of the four schools have school District boundaries that are only within the District. However, two of the schools include areas outside of the District as part of their school district boundaries.

The primary reason persons living outside the District would enter the District would be to access the schools. Therefore, we must consider the school district boundary areas outside of the District when analyzing the pedestrian traffic that may use the sidewalks and community trails within the District.

The Summary of Travel Trends, 2009 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) prepared by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA, 2011) analyzed the number of person trips by various modes of transportations such as private vehicle, transit, walking or some other means of transportation. According to the Pacific Division data extracted from the 2009 NHTS database, of the annual 181,703 (in millions) total person trips, 21,252 (in millions) or 11.70% of those person trips were made by using walking as their mode of transportation (FHWA, 2011).

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2010), the average household size in the City is 2.98 persons. Based on this average household size, and considering there are 6,957 residential units within the District, there are approximately 20,732 people residing within the District boundaries. There are an estimated 12,000 residential units within the school district boundaries that are not within the boundaries of the District. Based on the City’s average household size, there are approximately 35,760 persons residing outside of the District boundaries, but within the school district boundaries. The following shows the estimated number of residential units and persons within the school district boundaries and either within or outside the District boundaries:

School District Population

Estimated
Number of
Persons
Within District Boundaries 6,957 20,732
Outside District Boundaries 12,000 35,760
Total Population 18,957 56,492
In order to determine the estimated total number of persons who are within close proximity to the sidewalk and trail improvements, and would utilize walking as their mode of transportation, we applied the 11.70% of person trips reported from the NHTS Pacific Division study, to the total number of persons within District and school district boundaries (56,492). There are

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 31 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 2
approximately 6,610 people within proximity of the District that utilize walking as their mode of transportation.

Applying the 2009 NHTS walking trip percentage to the District population (20,732), we estimate that of the 6,610 persons who are within close proximity of the District and use walking as their primary mode of transportation, 2,426 people are within the District boundaries. Therefore, the total surrounding neighborhood area population, located outside of the District boundaries, but in close proximity to the sidewalk and trail improvements, who use walking as their primary mode of transportation is estimated to be 4,184 people.

School District Population

In order to obtain a better picture of the overall level of general benefit provided by the sidewalk and community trail improvements, the pedestrian traffic that utilizes walking as the mode of transportation that will seek out and use sidewalks and community trails within the District’s boundaries, but live outside of the District, must be considered. The 2009 NHTS further details the purposes of the 21,252 (in millions) reported walking trips. Based on the property types within the District, people utilizing the sidewalks and community trails within the District would most likely do so for the following reasons: walking to school, day care or religious activity, social or recreational activities, and shopping or running errands.

The following details the number of walking trips, based on the 2009 NHTS study, for each of the activities that are the most likely reasons people outside of the District would use the sidewalk and community trail improvements within the District:

Trip Purpose
Number of Walking
Trips (in millions)
School/Daycare/Religious Activity 872
Shopping/Errands 5,820
Social/Recreational 2,268
Don’t know/Other 139
Total 9,099
Of the total number of walking trips reported, 9,099 (in millions) or 42.81% are for purposes that persons outside of the District would utilize the sidewalk and trail improvements within the District. Applying this percentage (42.81%) to the number of people using walking as their mode of transportation and that live outside of the District (4,184), but use the sidewalks and community trails within the District, there are approximately 1,791 people using the maintained sidewalks and community trails for general benefit purposes. The persons engaging in general benefit activities represents 3.17% of the total school district population (56,492), and is therefore considered to be District general benefit.

School District Boundary General
Benefit 3.17%
Given the location and nature of the improvements, it is very unlikely the public at large would seek out or use the sidewalks and trails within the District, but would use those proximate to their own properties. The City has regional trails that connect different areas of the City, and those trails do appeal to and attract other residents of the City as well as residents that live outside the City. Nevertheless, it is likely that certain members of the public at large use the sidewalks or community trails within the District. As such, we have assigned a 1.00% general benefit for the sidewalk and community trails to the public at large.

Public at large General Benefit 1.00%
Based on the above calculations, the general benefit portion of the improved aesthetics, increased safety, and economic activity benefits resulting from the sidewalk and trail improvements is estimated to be 4.17% and the special benefit is estimated to be 95.83%.

Sidewalk and Trail General Benefit 4.17%
Street Landscaping
Based upon the City’s General Plan (2010) Roadway Hierarchy, the streets within the District are classified into one of the following categories: arterial, collector, or local (minor) streets.

The majority of street landscaping is located along roads classified as collector and local streets and primarily situated within the public right-of-ways of the internal local street network. A portion of the maintained landscaping is, however, located along the arterial streets, and, as such, provides some general benefit to pass-through traffic.

Local Streets
For purposes of determining general and special benefits, all streets within the District other than the specific streets listed as collector and arterial streets below are considered local streets. The local streets within the District were intended to serve individual neighborhoods and not to be pass-through streets, but cul-de-sacs or loop roads to reduce through traffic (Victoria Community Plan, 1980). In addition, according to the City’s General Plan (2010), the primary intended purpose of local streets is to serve fronting properties.

From a visual inspection of the layout of the District one must conclude that the purpose of the local streets is exclusively intended for the benefit of the parcels on such streets. There is no local street that provides a direct or efficient means of traveling from one place to another such that one could reasonably expect a driver to purposefully choose the District’s local streets as the best route for travel unless necessary because the route either began or ended with a parcel in the District. A route beginning or ending with a parcel within the District does not include the “general public” for purposes of determining general benefit.

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 33 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 2
However, one can imagine a minimal degree of pass through traffic even on something such as a cul-de-sac. As expressed by the Court in Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010), “... courts of this state have long recognized that virtually all public improvement projects provide general benefits."
Given the location to the schools, parks, and shopping in the City, there are bound to be drivers that make use of the local streets for no other reason but to turn around or go back from where they came, especially if they are dropping their children off at one of the schools. Additionally, given the nature of the street landscaping, one could imagine a small degree of “residential tourism” wherein drivers are in fact simply “passing through” to enjoy the beautiful views of the homes, the natural surroundings or visiting friends. A conservative estimate of 1.00% for each scenario would result in the general benefit portion of the improved aesthetics, increase safety, and economic activity benefits resulting from the street landscaping improvements on local streets to be 2.00% and the special benefit is estimated to be 98.00%.

Local Street General Benefit 2.00%
Collector Streets: Victoria Park Ln, Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave and Church St Because of the similarities in use, layout, type, and designation, the benefits of Victoria Park Ln, Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave and Church St are considered to be equal. Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave and Church St border the District and are used as the main access to and from properties within the District. Victoria Park Ln serves as the main access point to each of the four schools and is the connector street running through the District. Victoria Park Ln, Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave and Church St connect the various neighborhoods, schools and parks within the District in addition to providing circulation between the local streets and the arterial network. As such, we must also consider the neighborhoods that surround the District and are within the school district boundaries, but not within the actual District when analyzing vehicle traffic that may use the streets within the District. The City’s Traffic Study (2009) does not include the traffic volume and number of daily trips on the connector streets within the District. As such a study is unavailable at this time we have use the NHTS Pacific Division data in order to estimate the number of drivers who use the streets within the District.

According to the Pacific Division data extracted from the NHTS database, of the annual 181,703 (in millions) total person trips, 152,827 (in millions) or 84.11% of those trips were made using a personal motor vehicle (FHWA, 2011). According to the 2001 National Household Travel Survey, household file, U.S. Department of Transportation (2001), the mean drivers per household is 1.75. Based on the drivers per household average, and considering the 6,957 households within the District, there are approximately 12,175 drivers within the District. There are an estimated 12,000 residential units within the school district boundaries that are not within the boundaries of the District. Based on the drivers per household average, there are approximately 21,000 additional drivers that reside outside of the District boundaries, but are in close proximity to the District.

Applying the percentage of vehicle trips (84.11%) reported from the NHTS Pacific Division study to the District and school district boundaries area outside of the District population sets (33,175), approximately 27,903 people are within proximity of the District that utilize a private vehicle as their primary mode of transportation. Applying the 2009 NHTS vehicle trip percentage to the estimated number of drivers within the District (12,175) approximately 10,240 people within the District boundaries use a personal vehicle as their primary mode of transportation. Therefore, the total surrounding neighborhood area population, located outside of the District boundaries, that uses a vehicle as their mode of transportation is estimated to be 17,663 people.

In order to obtain a better picture of the overall level of general benefit provided by the improvements, the vehicle traffic that will seek out and use the collector streets to access parcel’s within the District, but live outside of the District, must be considered. The 2009 NHTS further details the purposes of the 152,827 (in millions) reported vehicle trips. Based on the property types within the District, people utilizing the collector streets to access properties within the District would most likely do so for the following reasons: attend school, day care or religious activity, social or recreational activities, and to shop or run errands.

The following details the number of vehicle trips for each of the activities that are the most likely reasons people outside of the District would use the collector streets to access properties within the District:

Trip Purpose
Number of Vehicle
Trips (in millions)
School/Daycare/Religious Activity 6,470
Shopping/Errands 30,998
Social/Recreational 16,185
Don’t know/Other 688
Total 54,341
Of the total number of vehicle trips reported, 54,341 (in millions) or 35.56% are for purposes that persons outside of the District would most likely utilize the collector streets within the District.

Applying this percentage to the number of people using vehicles as their primary mode of

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 35 Fiscal Year 2023/24 ATTACHMENT 2
transportation and live outside of the District (17,663), but would use Victoria Park Ln, Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave or Church St as a connector to their destination within the District, there are approximately 6,281 people using the maintained streets for general benefit purposes. The persons engaging in general benefit activities represents 18.93% of the total estimated drivers (33,175), and is therefore considered to be District general benefit.

As previously mentioned, the local street special benefit has been estimated at 98.00% and, as such, the estimated minimum special benefit of Victoria Park Ln, Etiwanda Ave, Highland Ave and Church St should be reduced by 2.00% to account for that portion of traffic using local streets representing general benefit.

Based on the above calculations, the general benefit portion of the improved aesthetics, increased safety, and economic activity benefits resulting from the street landscaping improvements on collector streets is estimated to be 20.93% and the special benefit is estimated to be 79.07%.

Collector Street General Benefit 20.93%
Arterial Streets: Milliken Ave, Base Line Rd, Day Creek Blvd and Rochester Ave Arterial streets are intended to provide a higher degree of mobility and generally serve longer vehicle trips. The arterial streets with landscape improvements serve not only residents in the immediate vicinity, but persons who live outside of the District and are passing by. The City’s Traffic Study (2009) does not identify the percentage of traffic on arterial streets, which is pass- through traffic.

Before we determine and allocate the percentage of special and general benefit for the arterial streets, we must first compute the estimated pass-through traffic. In lieu of having a study that identifies the pass-through traffic on the arterial streets, the estimated number of special benefit trips on the collector streets has been used since in order to enter or exit the District, a vehicle must travel on one of the arterial streets listed below. Per the City’s General Plan (2010), collector streets have an estimated 5,000 to 20,000 vehicles per day, for an average of 12,500.

Taking the 12,500 average daily trips for collector streets, 2,616 trips (20.93%) are for general benefit purposes, and 9,884 trips (79.07%), is deemed to be for special benefit purposes.

Estimated
Number of Trips
Collector Street Special Benefit – 79.07% 9,884
Collector Street General Benefit – 20.93%1 2,616
Total 12,500
(1) The 20.93% general benefit percentage already includes the 2.00% general benefit to account for the portion of traffic using for local streets.

The City’s Traffic Study (2009) does provide an estimated number of daily trips for specific areas within the District. When the City’s Traffic Study (2009) did not provide the estimated number of daily trips the average number was derived from the estimates provided in the City’s General Plan.
