Benefit Assessment District No. 91-2 5 Fiscal Year 2024/25

EXHIBIT A

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

The properties within Drainage Area No. 91-2 (“Drainage Area”) are located within the boundaries of the Day Canyon Drainage Basin area. Protection of the properties within the Drainage Area from overland flows requires the construction of a 27+ acre-foot desilting basin and a 1,460+ linear foot concrete drainage channel. The channel improvements will intercept the overland flows prior to reaching the properties and carry the storm water runoff, sediment, trash, organic material and related debris to a desilting basin.

Each year the sediment, trash, organic material and other related debris that accumulates in the desilting basin and channel must be removed and transported to an approved spoils site. The services proposed to be financed from the revenue derived from the levy and collections of the annual benefit assessment are as follows:

A. Monthly on-site inspections of the desilting basin and channel.

B. Bi-monthly weed abatement program for the desilting basin and channel.

C. Removal of accumulated sediment, trash, organic material and other related debris from the desilting basin and channel to an approved spoils site. This service is expected to be provided annually. During times of excessive rainfall, this service may be required more frequently.

The
DATE:July 17, 2024
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Noah Daniels, Finance Director
Rick Flinchum, Finance Manager
Kelly Guerra, Special Districts Analyst
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolutions Approving the Special Tax Levy for Community Facilities Districts Nos. 85-1 and 88-1 for Fiscal Year 2024/25. (RESOLUTION NOS. FD 2024-018 AND FD 2024-019) (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Fire Board adopt the Resolutions approving the special tax levy for Community Facilities Districts Nos. 85-1 and 88-1 (each a "District" and collectively the "Districts") for the Fiscal Year 2024/25.

BACKGROUND:

Annually, before the County's direct assessment enrollment deadline in August, the Fire Board must adopt a Resolution approving the special tax levy as reflected in each District's respective Annual Status Report. If approved, staff will file the certified list of all parcels subject to the special tax levy for each District with the County of San Bernardino to be included in the property owners’ property tax billings.

ANALYSIS:

Each District has specific facilities based on its boundaries and the community it serves. Annually, staff performs a financial analysis of the revenues and expenditures to ensure the financial stability of each District, which takes into account the current operational requirements as well as the expected needs for future capital improvements in the Districts.

The recommended rates are intended to meet the Districts' operational and capital improvement needs for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2024/25. Numerous external factors, such as inflation, increased calls for service, and current and future capital improvement, impact the recommended rates.

A summary of the analysis for each District for Fiscal Year 2024/25:
•An increase from $154.21 to $165.00, or 7.0% but below the maximum allowable rate of $217.04, is recommended for CFD 85-1. This increase is necessary to sustain the operating costs for the District and capital improvement expenditures. The District has a deficit of $954,560, which is covered by the District reserves. This deficit includes the budgeted capital improvement spending of $647,920 for the ADA improvements at the Jersey Fire Station 174. The increased personnel costs associated with staffing Fire Station 178 are offset by the contribution of $2,795,620 from the Fire District General Fund and do not contribute to the District's operating deficit.

4 2
•An increase from $154.21 to $165.00, or 7.0% but below the maximum allowable rate of $1,835.92, is recommended for CFD 88-1. This increase is necessary as operating costs have risen similarly to CFD 85-1. Several years ago, the Fire Board approved a rate reduction for CFD 88-1 to establish tax uniformity with CFD 85-1 for the property owners in both Districts. Consequently, during each budget process, the Fire District General Fund approves a fixed amount to support the District's operations and maintenance. For Fiscal Year 2024/25, the General Fund will contribute $2,780,650 to CFD 88-1 to support operations.

The table below summarizes the special tax levy (for a single-family residence) for each District for Fiscal Year 2024/25. The recommended rates comply with and are below the maximum rate allowed by the District.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The special tax revenues collected for each District are solely used for the services and administration costs related to that specific District. The District's Annual Status Report details the estimated expenses for administration, personnel services, and maintenance and operations within the Districts. As mentioned earlier, the Fire District General Fund's contribution to CFD 88-1 was approved and budgeted by the Fire Board during the budget approval process.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:

This item addresses the City Council’s core value of intentionally embracing and anticipating the future by complying with reporting requirements for special taxes to provide public services and administrative costs for the Districts.

LIMITATION ON SPECIAL TAX LEVY
The Special Tax shall only be levied on developed property; provided that the Special Tax shall not be levied until a “Certification of Occupancy” or “Utility Release” has been issued by the appropriate governmental agencies.

Developed property is defined to be property:

•Which is not vacant
•Where a certificate of occupancy or utility release from the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the County of San Bernardino has been issued
•Which has an existing building or structure on site

Areas granted as easements to power transmission towers, railroad tracks, and flood control facilities shall be subtracted from the total acreage of the underlying lot and shall be exempt.

The annual levy of the Special Tax shall be based upon an annual determination by the Board of Directors of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District of the amount of other revenues available to meet budget requirements. As used in this formula, "available revenue" shall include ad valorem taxes, State of California augmentation, tax increment revenues received from the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and any other source of revenue except the Special Tax. The Board of Directors shall take all responsible steps to retain maximum Redevelopment Agency funding to which, by agreement, they may lawfully receive. To the extent available revenues are insufficient to meet budget requirements, the Board of Directors may levy the Special Tax.

For further particulars regarding the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax, reference is made to the Final Report Mello-Roos Community Facilities District No. 85-1 for Fire Suppression Facilities/Services – Foothill Fire Protection District, a copy of which is on file in the office of the Fire Chief of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District.

Community Facilities District No. 88-1 1 Fiscal Year 2024/25

BACKGROUND

On April 4, 1989, the qualified voters approved the formation of Mello- Roos Community Facilities District No. 88 -1 (“CFD No. 88 -1”) and authorized CFD No. 88-1 to annually levy a special tax to provide for fire protection services within northeast Etiwanda. On May 19, 1989, the Board of Directors of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (formerly Foothill Fire Protection District) adopted an Ordinance authorizing the CFD No. 88 -1, by Resolution, to annual ly levy a special tax in CFD No. 88- 1 for purposes of land acquisition, fire station construction, purchase of equipment and operations and maintenance costs for fire protection services. CFD No. 88- 1 is located within the boundaries of Highland, Cherry, Day Creek Channel and the San Bernardino National Forest.

The maximum special tax shall be annually adjusted for the lesser of (a) changes in cost of living; or (b) changes in the cost of living and changes in population as defined in Section 7901 of the Government Code, as amended, whichever is lesser.

Fiscal Year 202 4/25, the maximum tax rate which could be levied is adjusted per (b) changes in the cost of living and changes in population. The maximum tax rate will increase from $1,761.92 to $1,835.92, or 4. 20%. The actual assessment rate will increase from $1 54.21 to $165.00, an increase of 7.0% as compared to Fiscal Year 2023/24.

SUBJECT: Preliminary Review Hearing to Consider a Proposed Master Plan Application for a Commercial Development that Would Include Site Specific Development Standards at the Northwest Corner of Base Line Road and Day Creek Marketplace. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff is recommending the following:

1. That the City Council consider policy implications of a proposed master plan to include building frontage, ground floor transparency, and reduced floor area ratio for commercial requirements within a specific project site located on Base Line Road, between Day Creek Boulevard and Rochester Avenue.

2. That the Council provide comments so that the applicant can consider whether to proceed with the applications, recognizing that the Council’s direction is not an approval, nor a guarantee of future approval, nor a guarantee of future recommendation of approval from staff.

BACKGROUND:

In August 2021, the City Council adopted a policy on providing early Council feedback on applicant-initiated General Plan amendments, Specific Plans, Master Plans, or Development Code amendments, which are considered legislative actions that vest considerable discretion in the City Council. The request is for a master plan. This early feedback from Council is to be provided via an administrative hearing. This policy is attached to this staff report for reference as Attachment 1.

In summary, the intent of this policy is that, after receiving early Council feedback, the applicant can decide whether to pursue the legislative amendment, and the other entitlements for their project prior to investing significant cost and resources into a project, with the Council’s preliminary policy considerations in mind.

In December 2021, the City Council adopted the current General Plan that lays out the vision of the City for the next 20 years. The City’s vision is “to build on our success as a world-class community, to create an equitable, sustainable, and vibrant city, rich in opportunity for all to thrive” through the community’s core values of health, equity and stewardship. The vision and core values are upheld in the “big ideas” of the General Plan. The General Plan outlines goals and policies for design and development that speak directly to those core values and ideas which stem directly from the public feedback received during the General Plan update process.

Following the adoption of the current General Plan on December 15, 2021, the City Council adopted a comprehensive update to the Development Code intended to effectuate the General Plan’s vision. Central to the updated Development Code was the creation of the Form- Based Code (FBC). The FBC establishes place-based standards for certain areas of the City and represents an alternative to conventional zoning, which focuses more on the separation of land uses.

Furthermore, the FBC contains objective, measurable development standards as required by recent updates to state law.

The purpose of a master plan is to allow for the coordinated comprehensive planning of a subarea of the city to accomplish any of the following objectives:
•Protect a unique environmental, historical, architectural, or other significant area feature(s) that cannot be adequately protected by adoption of another land use zone. •Allow the development of an exceptional project design for a larger area that cannot be built under an existing zone or due to constraints of existing development standards. •Further the implementation of specific goals and policies of the city as provided in the general plan.
•"Plan ahead" and look beyond the limits of a particular property to solve circulation, drainage, and neighborhood compatibility problems.
•Provide flexibility for developments beyond conventional zoning regulations to address special or unique needs or characteristics.

A master plan should cover a broader area and multiple projects, operating more at the conceptual level, primarily for visioning and policy purposes. The City has adopted various master plans for large-scale projects that have met these objectives and are consistent with and in conformance with the General Plan policies and goals in place at the time of adoption. In contrast, site plans operate at more of a single site level, are more precise and technical, and are used for regulatory and construction purposes.

The applicant, Lewis Group, is considering future development of their parcel at the northwest corner of Base Line Road and Day Creek Marketplace, which is within the Neighborhood Center General Plan land use designation with a corresponding implementing zone of Neighborhood General 3 - Limited. The site is approximately 0.92 acres with approximately 130 linear feet of frontage along Base Line Road (Figure 1). The applicant is considering developing a project for a single drive-thru tenant where the project is not in compliance with multiple development standards under the form-based code. To mold the site to the proposed use, the Lewis Group has requested consideration of a master plan for this single site, modifying specific standards, based on their research and analysis of development requirements within the Development Code.

Figure 1 - Project Site
ANALYSIS:

Some of the policy considerations that the Council might consider as part of their initial feedback on the subject project may include neighborhood impacts, economic development, and whether the use is appropriate for the site. Below is a summary of the proposed legislative changes with an analysis by staff.

Summary of Proposed Legislative Changes

1. Modification to required ground floor transparency. The intent of transparent street facing facades is to build and maintain the relationship between building facades and the public realm, and to eliminate stark building facades along the streetscape. This requirement provides for better interaction with the frontage along Base Line Road, allowing for increased connectivity from the private business to the public way. The code requires a minimum of 50 percent of commercial ground floor street facing facades between two and seven feet in height shall be transparent window surface and a minimum of 70 percent of shopfront entrance and facade shall be transparent windows and doors, transom windows, and a solid shopfront base.

The applicant is concerned that this may result in an undesired view of the interior of a building should there be a layout where there are back-of-house operations or non-operational floor areas visible from the public way as the applicant is considering a development design with the storefront transparency, but the floor plan layout would lead to visibility of back of house operations.

Pros: Staff has not identified any pros of a design with reduced transparency along the street

Page 427 ends

Page 4 ends

2 7
facing façade.

Cons: The applicant is proposing a building where the floor area layout has back-of-house operations close to the street frontages and the transparency requirement would lead to visibility of areas with kitchen operations, utilities, trash receptacles, restrooms, etc. The proposed tenant is a drive-through only restaurant with the drive aisle at the rear of the building to avoid the street facing drive-through lane however, the remaining portion of the building layout is not conducive to the shopfront façade at the street. There is no interaction between the drive-through use and the public realm other than an ancillary walk-up order window which provides only minimum transparency. The applicant has offered to provide outdoor seating but that would still be limited to on-site pedestrian activity of potential patrons of the restaurant.

Should the hours of operation offer limited hours during the day and/or non-operating days, this would result in a site that is not open to the public and is not utilized in the most economically efficient manner, nor does it promote or contribute to a walkable destination.

The applicant is moving away from the modern mixed use design standards and moving more toward a prior suburban auto oriented standard for this site. The proposed design would result in a development that is in direct conflict with designing for people first in achieving the vision of the General Plan.

2. Modifications to building placement within private frontage areas (secondary). The code requires building placement within at least 30% of the secondary street frontage width. This design standard provides opportunity for interaction and connectivity between the building(s) secondary street fronts to the public way and encourages building footprints with storefronts to carry through the building. It allows for multitenant buildings to have visibility from the public way. This also allows for landscaping designs to compliment storefront streetscape design with large shade canopies and combats the urban heat island effect. The applicant has inquired about using projections such as an accessory attached canopy to help meet this requirement as the speculative building footprint does not meet the frontage width requirements.

Pros: Staff has not identified any pros of a design that does not meet the building placement regulations.

Cons: The single tenant user and building design provides only the minimum frontage and limits opportunity for economic growth and fails to provide the opportunity for multiple services and goods to adjacent and nearby residents. The property owner does not have an interest in establishing a multitenant non-residential building nor a mixed-use building where the proposed use could serve an immediately adjacent residence. The design also includes a potential canopy projection over the drive-through lane as part of the building to fit within the 30% frontage requirement, but this does not meet the intent of the requirement. A goal of the general plan is to have human-scale design with all new projects. Two policies, LC-2.1 Building Orientation and LC-2.2 Active Frontages, require that buildings are placed near street frontages and have active functions such as entries, lobbies, bike parking, etc., and that the buildings have attractive facades to encourage walking, biking, and public transit as a primary mobility mode. The applicant is essentially requesting to deviate from the mixed-use design standards and go back to a prior suburban design model for this one site. Furthermore, the site is less than 200 feet from a nearby boutique hotel opening in a few months as well as residential uses. Relegating this site to an auto oriented use is inconsistent with the “big idea” of designing for people first. This is a key site that could provide a neighborhood scale “third space” within walking distance of residents and visitors.

3. Reduction in Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The required FAR range for the site is 0.2 - 0.4 in the NG3-L zone. This standard would require between approximately 8,000 - 16,000 square feet of non-residential floor area for this specific site. The applicant is considering a development that is exclusively non-residential and does not intend to provide a development that meets the minimum FAR requirements. The General Plan designation for this area envisions a center suburban in character with mixed-use and commercial uses and providing ground floor activity including shopfronts and outdoor seating along the corridor.

Pros: Each property has a specific FAR range according to the General Plan designation.

Staff has not identified any pros to providing a development that does not meet the minimum FAR requirement.

Cons: The applicant is considering a project that would result in an FAR with less than the minimum requirement. This will limit economic development and job growth within a site that is designated for at least 8,000 square feet FAR. Again, the applicant is proposing to develop the site for a single tenant and does not intend to provide a larger structure which would conform to the minimum FAR and may allow for additional tenant spaces. Understanding the business model of the proposed tenant does not necessitate a larger footprint, however, the design is self-limiting and is not an exceptional design that would provide for the intended use of the site. The functionality and concept of a vehicle-oriented business with the drive-through restaurant as the only use on this property is not consistent with the vision of the General Plan. The City understands that a development project for a specific unique tenant may not be able to meet the maximum FAR requirement but there is still an opportunity for a right- sized development to occur on this site. In this case, the proposed development is an under- utilization of the land and locks in a lower performing revenue per acre model (an old suburban model) for the next 40-50 years rather than utilizing a higher performing revenue per acre model (newer urban vertical model).

A Master Plan is fundamentally a tool for use in larger area where multiple projects would be built to establish a defining vision and policy for those projects. An example is the Epicenter Master Plan recently adopted by the City Council. Development based Master Plans include the previous Town Center Master Plan at Haven and Foothill and the Victoria Gardens Master Plan. These plans contemplated a large mix of uses considering circulation, compatibility and parking needs to create vibrant places for people to live, work and play. These plans were early iterations of mixed-use developments that could not be designed with conventional zoning and were an extension of the General Plan’s vision for better synergy between commercial, office, retail and civic uses. This Master Plan proposal does not include multiple projects, does not operate at the vision or policy level, does not protect unique environmental, historical, architectural, or other significant area feature(s) and does not look beyond the limits of a particular property to solve circulation, drainage, and neighborhood compatibility problems. It is in essence a site plan designed to address incompatibilities between the special or unique needs or characteristics of a single user whose business model does not fit with the design parameters of the larger zoning and development standards for this zone, citywide. As such, the Master Plan is fundamentally the wrong tool and using the Master Plan in this way will open its use citywide by applicants seeking deviations from the City’s design and development parameters.

In conclusion, after the administrative hearing, the applicant can determine if they would like to continue through the standard development review process. If the City Council’s input is not positive, staff shall use this feedback to problem solve with the applicant and make recommendations to the developer for project revisions to address input provided or work on a redesigned or different project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact at this time as this recommendation only involves policy discussions related to certain standards generally and to a potential development application.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:

Considering the potential application prior to the applicant formally submitting an application as part of the master plan process achieves the Council Core Value of “Working together cooperatively and respectfully with each other, staff, and all stakeholders.” As the applicants are still early in the development process, this discussion with the City Council represents a good faith effort to vet major project concerns and questions prior to the developer investing significant cost and resources into formally proposing development at these sites.

DATE: August 18, 2021
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Matt Burris, Deputy City Manager of Community Development SUBJECT: City Policy Pertaining to Early Feedback on General Plan Amendments, Planned Community, Master Plan and Specific Plan Amendments, and Development Code Amendments. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive, file and adopt the attached policy on providing early Council feedback on General Plan amendments, Specific Plan, Planned Community or Master Plan Amendments, or Development Code Amendments.

BACKGROUND:

The General Plan and Development Code are the primary documents that regulate the physical development of the city. Additionally, in many areas of the city, Specific Plans, Planned Communities, and master plans serve to regulate land use in place of the Development Code or as a bridge between the General Plan and the Development Code. These documents regulate land uses, infrastructure, and the mitigation of impacts. Under the Development Code, only the City Council, Planning Commission, Planning Director, or a property owner may initiate applications for these legislative amendments. In many cases, property owners (or their agents) who apply for projects that may require multiple entitlements spend several years and thousands of dollars designing a proposed project before ever knowing whether the City Council has any interest in considering the necessary legislative change for the project.

ANALYSIS:

While the City typically receives limited applications for legislative changes such as General Plan amendments, there are currently several such applications undergoing review by the Planning Department. These types of legislative approvals can only be granted by the City Council and have separate and distinct policy implications apart from the merits of a project. In order, however, for an application to be considered by the City Council (under present policy and process), that application must first undergo review and analysis by City staff, potential consideration by the Design Review Committee, environmental analysis under CEQA, and consideration by the Planning Commission. This process can easily take up to 18+ months and require an applicant to spend thousands of dollars for design and studies, all before they have any understanding whether the City Council has an interest in approving such a legislative change, which may be necessary before any other entitlements needed for a project may be approved. In practice, staff is finding that this approach causes a greater degree of uncertainty for the applicant and further complicates the development review process for city staff, particularly in situations with competing interests.

7 There is another alternative; some cities allow for an applicant to seek preliminary feedback from the city council in connection with the merits of a General Plan amendment or other legislative changes. After the Council provides its feedback on the proposed legislative amendment, the applicant can decide whether to pursue the legislative amendment, and the other entitlements for the applicant’s proposed project, with the Council’s preliminary policy considerations in mind. This opportunity provides the applicant with more information about whether the proposed project is likely to be successful after the application has been processed by staff. Rancho Cucamonga’s past practice, dating back to the 1980’s, was to request initial authorization by the City Council prior to beginning any amendments to the development code or any Specific Plan, Planned Community or Master Plan that included more than one parcel or project (i.e., Town Square Master Plan). The City abandoned this policy in 2012 intending to streamline the development review process. While it may streamline the process, the new practice also causes a greater degree of uncertainty and further complicates development review, in some cases actually complicating the process.

Under the new process, a detailed description of the applicant’s project shall not be required.

Staff will work with the City Attorney to analyze the provided information, provide a list of pros and cons, and a staff recommendation to the City Council on only the legislative change for their consideration. The staff report shall include specific language indicating the pre-application review is not an approval nor a guarantee of approval, that staff and the Planning Commission may recommend against, and the City Council may ultimately vote against or not support the project at the project hearings once additional details and analysis become available in the future.

While the City Council would not vote on the project at the time of this administrative hearing, each Councilmember may provide comments addressing positive or negative aspects of the amendment, potential issues that should be evaluated by staff, and suggested changes that could make the amendment more acceptable, if any. The City Council’s comments should focus on the policy implications of the General Plan amendment rather than the project itself. The City Council will not vote on any aspect of the amendment or project, as the intent of the preliminary review process is informational only.

Staff will take the feedback provided by the City Council into consideration to help inform further staff analysis, possible conditions or modifications to the project, the recommendation to the Planning Commission, and ultimately the recommendation to the City Council. Staff shall provide a letter to the applicant following the administrative hearing memorializing the input and results of the hearing. The Applicant may then take that information into account in deciding whether to move forward in the process. After the administrative hearing, the application will move through the standard development review process for review by the Design Review Committee, the Planning Commission, and the City Council per our current process.

This policy shall only apply to private property owners and shall not apply to any City initiated legislative changes. Staff reports on legislative changes shall be prepared and presented only by the Planning Director, the Deputy City Manager of Community and Economic Development, the City Attorney, and the City Manager. The staff report may discuss the proposed project in general terms, but the staff recommendation will only address the General Plan amendment.

It is important to note that an initial City Council direction on a legislative change is not an approval and does not guarantee an approval. It would not involve any consideration of a particular project.

Put more simply, it would only give the Council an opportunity to consider the policy implications

Page 331 ends

Page 432 ends

Page 3 ends

9 1
7 of changing the General Plan, Specific Plan, Master Plan, Community Plan, or Development Code, as the case may be. Some of the policy considerations that the Council might consider as part of this initial feedback may include neighborhood impacts, economic development, and whether the use is appropriate for the site. This change creates an opportunity to provide staff and applicants with such feedback before thousands of hours, dollars, and years are spent processing an application. As such, staff recommends re-establishing the City’s prior policy to bring requests for all General Plan amendments, Specific Plan amendments, and Development Code changes requested by owners of real property or their authorized representatives to the City Council for an initial round of feedback. An applicant would still be required to conduct the same CEQA analysis and go through the same development and environmental review if it decides to pursue its applications further. This policy will not apply to any current applications that have been deemed complete.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:

This policy helps realize the City Council’s vision for creating a world class community and the City Council value of “Equitable prosperity for all” by helping to identify and remove barriers within the City’s Development Review process.

TO:Anne McIntosh, Planning Director
FROM:Matthew Burris, Deputy City Manager of Community Development SUBJECT: Legislative Changes and Amendments Policy
PURPOSE: To re-establish a policy for initiating General Plan amendments, Specific Plan amendments, and Development Code amendments requested by builders and developers.

BACKGROUND: The General Plan and Development Code are the primary documents that regulate the physical development of the city. Additionally, in many areas of the city, Specific Plans serve to regulate land use in place of the Development Code. These documents regulate land uses, infrastructure, and the mitigation of impacts. The City’s past practice, dating back to the 1980s, was to request authorization by the City Council to initiate any amendments to the development code or any Specific Plan, Planned Community, or Master Plan that includes more than one parcel or project (i.e., Town Square Master Plan). This policy allowed for discussion of the pros and cons of such requests and consideration for larger policy implications. The City abandoned this practice in 2012 with the intent of streamlining the development review process. However, currently, staff is finding that this approach causes a greater degree of uncertainty and further complicates development review. It results in applicants spending many years and thousands of dollars designing a proposed project before ever knowing whether the City Council may even desire considering such legislative changes.

POLICY: An application for a legislative change, such as a General Plan amendment, that is initiated by a private property owner shall be recommended for an administrative hearing before the City Council as the first step in the Development Review process. The Planning Director shall schedule a preliminary review hearing before the City Council once the applicant has provided enough information about the proposed amendment and related project to permit the Planning Director to prepare a staff report for the hearing. This information shall include, but is not limited to, a statement explaining the applicant’s reason for requesting the General Plan amendment, the proposed change in land use designations on the parcel(s), the project’s proposed uses and density, and any other project parameters associated with the amendment that are deemed necessary by the Planning Director. A detailed description of the applicant’s project shall not be required. Staff will work with the City Attorney to analyze the provided information, provide a list of pros and cons, and a staff recommendation to the City Council on only the legislative change for their consideration.

The staff report shall include specific language indicating the pre-application review is not an approval nor a guarantee of approval, that staff and the Planning Commission may recommend against, and the City Council may ultimately vote against or not support the project at the project hearings once additional details and analysis become available in the

future.

If an applicant does not want to go to City Council for the preliminary review and insists on a full hearing on the project merits, they shall sign an At Risk Waiver acknowledging they had the opportunity to go to the City Council on the legislative change but chose to decline. That document will become part of the entitlement package and administrative record.

After the administrative hearing, alternatively, after signing an At Risk Waiver, the application will move through the standard development review process for review by the Design Review Committee, the Planning Commission, and the City Council per our current process. If the City Council’s input is not positive, staff shall use the City Council’s feedback to problem solve with the applicant and work on a redesigned or different project. In such case, the Applicant shall be welcome to an additional review with the City Council to determine if a revised or alternative proposal might be a better solution.

This policy shall only apply to private property owners and shall not apply to any City initiated legislative changes.

Staff reports on legislative changes shall be prepared and presented only by the Planning Director, the Deputy City Manager of Community and Economic Development, the City Attorney, and the City Manager. The staff report may discuss the proposed project in general terms, but the staff recommendation will only address the General Plan amendment.

The City shall not charge a fee for the administrative hearing and will expedite scheduling a hearing date. The Planning Department shall provide the applicant at least ten (10) days written notice of the hearing date and time.

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: Public Hearing of the City of Rancho Cucamonga to Consider Resolutions Confirming the Diagrams and Assessments and Ordering the Levy and Collection of Annual Assessments for Landscape Maintenance Districts; Street Lighting Maintenance Districts; and Park and Recreation Improvement District No. PD-85 for Fiscal Year 2024/25. (RESOLUTION NOS. 2024-078, 2024-079 AND 2024-080) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council conduct a public hearing to consider Resolutions to confirm the assessment 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”). The Resolutions should be considered after conducting a public hearing to receive public comment.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Rancho Cucamonga oversees the management of the Districts, which involves determining the annual assessment rates that property owners must pay for the maintenance and operations of the parks and landscaping within each District, such as maintaining turf, ground cover, landscape lighting, irrigation systems, graffiti removal, hardscapes, playground, and related facilities, and providing street lighting coverage, operation of street lights, traffic signals, and associated facilities, throughout the City. Each District maintains specific improvements per its boundaries, while PD-85 was established to provide for the City’s two largest parks, Heritage Community Park and Red Hill Community Park.

Property owners pay these assessments based on the Districts where they live or own property.

Without the assessments, funding wouldn’t exist to provide maintenance or services to the community, and the financial burden would be directed to the City’s General Fund resources, which would take away resources from other services offered to the community. Property owners pay the annual assessment through their property tax bills, but it is separate from the general levy of property tax.

Each year, the City Council is recommended to adopt three resolutions for the LMDs, SLDs, and PD-85, each that together perform the following steps as set by the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972:

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 Conducts a public hearing and takes action to confirm the Districts and determine the assessments for the upcoming fiscal year.

On June 5, 2024, The City Council adopted resolutions ordering and approving the preparation of the preliminary Annual Engineer’s Reports for the levy of annual assessments for each District.

On that date, the City Council also adopted resolutions setting a public hearing for July 17, 2024.

Once these resolutions are 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 were developed as part of the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget process and are included in each District's projected revenues.

ANALYSIS:

Each District within the City has its 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 recommends 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 2024/25. 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.

City staff recommends increases to some districts to ensure that sufficient funds are available to cover the increasing costs of maintaining and operating them. Specifically, 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 recommends increasing rates when necessary to ensure funding is set aside for future capital expenditures, which is essential for the long-term sustainability of the Districts.

In addition to the revenue from the assessments, another revenue source from certain districts is transfers of funds from the City’s General Fund. Those transfers come in two forms: mandated contributions per the engineer’s report for the portion that is considered a general benefit to the community or per the City’s General Fund Subsidy to Special District Policy. The former is legally required and is determined per Proposition 218 provisions. For the City, the only District that has a mandated contribution from the City’s General Fund is LMD 2, of which the general benefit portion is 8.62% of the operational expenditures. For the Fiscal Year 2024/25, LMD 2 is budgeted to receive $370,940 from the General Fund.

LMD 2 was initially formed when the Victoria area was developed in the 1990s. At that time, the law did not require a specific general benefit calculation and apportionment. Subsequently, when the City took LMDs 2, 4, and 6 to a vote in the early 2000s to include an inflator to allow

Page 442 ends

Page 3 ends

2 4
4 3
assessments to keep pace with rising costs, the law still did not require a specific general benefit calculation and apportionment. During those respective elections, the residents voted down LMD 2, and LMD 4 and 6 were approved. The two measures that passed were renamed LMD 4R and 6R. Following the election, services were reduced in LMD 2. At the same time, the California Courts began reviewing a series of cases between 2009 and 2013 that pertained to the general benefit requirement. Ultimately, the Courts determined new LMD measures had to include a specific general benefit calculation by land use category. When LMD 2 was put back in front of the voters, following those court cases, it was approved and thus contained a legally mandated general benefit subsidy from the General Fund.

In 2016, the City took Measure A for LMD 1 and PD 85 to create new districts with an inflator for the voters. That measure also contained a minimum legally required general fund subsidy in the amount of 11%, but it was voted down overwhelmingly by the voters. Subsequently, the City determined that to subsidize only one district, even if legally required, but not provide a similar equitable amount of funding to other districts would be impractical and illogical. Thus, the General Fund Subsidty to Special Districts Policy was developed. This policy provides for contributions from the General Fund where required by law or where no other practical solution exists. It has been utilized to provide a funding subsidy to the existing street light districts (SLDs) as new SLDs are practically impossible to create and get voter approval for on existing street lights. It also helps provide an equitable General Fund subsidy to all landscape districts, if needed, because the District is at the maximum allowable assessment, provided the general benefit equivalent does not exceed 11% of the adjusted total budget. That 11% factor is meant to provide equity with the east side planned communities; however, the actual subsidy factor is determined through the annual budget process and might be less than 11% based on the financial needs of the District or more than 11% when the necessary financial resources exceed that threshold.

As a note, other districts that have had ballot measures, including LMD 4-R and 6-R, since Proposition 218 was established, do not have mandated contributions from the City’s General Fund because when they went to election, the case law was under review by the courts and a final decision including direction and a formula to calculate general benefit was not yet in place.

The following LMDs and PD-85 are recommended to receive subsidies in Fiscal Year 2024/25 as part of the budget approval process:
•LMD 1: A contribution of $68,190, or 5% of the operating expenditures. LMD 1 will also receive $115,510 for operational expenditures and $36,650 for capital replacement from Community Facilities District No. 2018-01, The Resort at Empire Lakes. •LMD 6-R: A contribution of $39,540, or 7% of the operating expenditures. The voters of LMD 6-R have approved an annual assessment rate escalator tied to the consumer price index, which slightly reduces the financial burden from the General Fund. •PD-85: A contribution of $117,420, allocated as $33,130 for the operations of Red Hill and Heritage Parks, or 3% of operating expenditures, or and $84,290 for the Red Hill Water Feature, or 100% of the operating expenditures for that community-wide improvement.

PD-85 will also receive $42,970 for operational expenditures and $43,920 for capital replacement from Community Facilities District No. 2018-01, The Resort at Empire Lakes.

The following SLDs will receive subsidies in Fiscal Year 2024/25. For SLDs, the subsidy may exceed 11%, as previously stated, because service levels cannot be reduced as they can for LMDs. As such, transfers from the City’s General Fund are budgeted only to the extent needed to eliminate any funding deficit or insufficient reserves. However, with the formation of Community Facilities District No. 2022-01, Street Lighting Services, the new development will provide

Page 443 ends

Page 4 ends

2 4
4 3
additional funding to SLDs, which, over an extended period, should reduce the financial burden on the City’s General Fund.
•SLD 2: A contribution of $70,200, or 13% of the operating expenditures. SLD 2 will also receive $66,180 from Community Facilities District No. 2018-01, the Resort at Empire Lakes, and $20,360 from Community Facilities District No. 2022-01, Street Lighting Services.
•SLD 5: A contribution of $22,040, or 41% of the operating expenditures, due to the negative fund balance.
•SLD 7: A contribution of $30,490, or 19% of the operating expenditures.

Incorporating the above analysis of transfers from the City’s General Fund, the following is an additional analysis for consideration about the recommended assessment rates for the Fiscal Year 2024/25:
•Due to changes in State law with Proposition 218, the City cannot increase assessment rates without voter approval for certain Districts. These Districts include LMD 1, LMD 7, LMD 8, SLDs 1 to 7, and PD-85. In these cases, services are reduced where feasible to lower operating costs, or capital projects are deferred in order to keep the District from being in a deficit. As indicated above, some of these Districts receive funding from the City’s General Fund in the form of General Benefit Equivalent to support operations. As previously mentioned, that funding is approved by the City Council per City policy. •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% increase is recommended for LMD 2, from $544.82 to $572.06, which is below the maximum allowable rate of $596.32. This increase is necessary to cover rising operational costs and fund planned capital improvement projects, including sidewalk repairs at Victoria Park Lane, trail renovations, lighting repairs and upgrades at Victoria Arbors Park, and the continuation of drought-tolerant landscaping installation. •A 5% increase is recommended for LMD 4-R, from $417.01 to $437.86 per single-family residence, also below the maximum allowable rate of $531.67. This increase is required to address increased operational costs and support capital improvement projects, including sidewalk repairs, playground replacement at Mountain View Park, and the continuation of drought-tolerant landscaping installation. •A 2.88% increase is recommended for LMD 6-R, from $490.21 to $504.32 per single- family residence, which is the maximum increase allowable. As such, LMD 6-R receives a General Benefit Equivalent of $39,540 from the City’s General Fund. •A 5% increase is recommended for LMD 10, from $845.17 to $887.43 per single-family residence, remaining below the maximum allowable rate of $1,100.54. This increase is necessary to cover increased operational costs and fund planned capital improvement projects, including the renovation of the tennis court at Day Creek Park and smart irrigation controllers for more efficient water management.

The table below displays the maximum assessment rate, the current assessment rate, and the recommended assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2024/25.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Assessment revenues collected for each District are dedicated to its maintenance, operations, and capital improvements. As previously stated, each District covers the costs of maintenance that benefit the community's property owners. Without these Districts’ assessments, without the assessment funding that the District provides, the financial burden of maintaining those specific improvements would be the responsibility of the City's general tax dollars, and the City's General Fund would not be able to provide as vigorous and well-rounded services as it does.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:

This item addresses the City Council’s core value of providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all by ensuring the City can provide parks and landscaping services, beautify the City and provide a means of recreation and leisure. It also emphasizes the City Council actively seeks and considers public input by ensuring the financial sustainability of the Districts.

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 descri ption 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

Page 452 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2024/25
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 assessmen t 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 Stat e 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, o r 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 tr ash/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

Page 453 ends

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, maintenanc e 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 t he 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

Page 474 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 26 Fiscal Year 2024/25
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 sh ould 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

Page 475 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 27 Fiscal Year 2024/25
• 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 2024/25 maximum allowable assessment rates for the District:

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.

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 as sessments 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 D istrict 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.

Page 486 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 4 Fiscal Year 2024/25
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, o r opposition to the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.

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. Maintenance of associated improvements, including the

Page 487 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 5 Fiscal Year 2024/25
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. Servicing means the furnishing of water for the irrigation of landscaping, the furnishing of electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscaping or appurtenant fac ilities. This shall also include materials, vehicles, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the District. Services include personnel, materials, contracting services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and repair required to keep the improvements in a healthy, vigorous and satisfactory condition.

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

Page 510 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 28 Fiscal Year 2024/25
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 s treetscapes 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,

Page 511 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 29 Fiscal Year 2024/25
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. Ac cording 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

Page 512 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 30 Fiscal Year 2024/25
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
Residential Units
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 Pacif ic Division study, to the total number of persons within D istrict and school district boundaries (56,492). There are

Page 513 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 31 Fiscal Year 2024/25
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
Estimated Number
of Persons
Within District Boundaries 2,426
Outside District Boundaries 4,184
Total Population – uses walking as
primary mode of transportation 6,610

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 uti lizing 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 D istrict (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 repr esents 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.

Page 515 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 33 Fiscal Year 2024/25
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 vehi cle 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

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.

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.

Based on the estimated number of 9,884 trips for special benefit purposes, we then reduce the average number of vehicles for each arterial street, to calculate our estimated pass -through trips. The pass-through trips are vehicles driving along the maintained streets within the District for a portion of their trips, but not residing in the District or benefiting from the landscaping improvements in place.

Although Rochester Ave is listed as an arterial, the City’s General Plan (2010) Roadway Hierarchy includes this street as a Tertiary Travel Corridor, which categorizes the street as more locally oriented and locally travelled. In addition, the Roadway Hierarchy says that the ty pical number of vehicles per day is between 10,000 and 15,000 (average 12,500). Etiwanda Avenue and Church St are also included in the category, and as such, the general benefit trip percentage is close to the same as for the collector streets.

As previously mentioned, the estimated minimum special benefit of Milliken Ave, Base Line Rd, Day Creek Blvd and Rochester Ave have already been reduced by 2% to account for that portion of traffic using local streets representing general benefit.

Street Landscaping General Benefit Percentage

The general benefit percentages determined in the previous sections were then applied to each type of road in the District. The area in square feet of landscaping being maintained in the District was determined by the City’s Public Works Department. The general benefit percentage for each road and street type was multiplied by the total square footage being maintained for such street. The general benefit square footage was summed for all street segments and divided into the total square footage of all landscaping maintenance. The result is the overall general benefit percentage. The following table details this calculation.

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 is estimated to be 17.10% and the special benefit is estimated to be 82.90%.

Neighborhood Parks
The six parks within the District were installed specifically for the residents of the District . Each of the parks is considered to be a neighborhood park, intended to serve those parcels within a one-half mile radius from the park. All parcels within the District are within a one- half mile from one of the six neighborhood parks, and most parcels outside of the District have their own neighborhood parks within close proximity. Even though the park facilities were installed for the benefit of the residents and those working within the District, there will be some general benefit to those people who do not live or conduct business inside the District.

There are 43.10 acres of park land within the District. According to the Trip Generation (2003) report, a City park generates an average of 1.59 trips per acre, with a range of rates between

1.04 – 8.00 (arithmetic mean is 4.52). Considering the mean rate per acre (4.52 trips), there are approximately 195 daily trips generated for parks within the District. According to the 2009 NHTS database, the average number of persons per vehicle is estimated to be 1.61 persons.

Therefore, based on the 195 daily park trips generated, 314 people are using the parks within the District.

There is a standard of one-half mile as a reasonable distance to walk to a park (California DOT, 1979). There are 6,957 households within the District, and an additional 1,834 households that are within a one -half mile and have direct access to the parks, but whose properties are not within the boundaries of the District.

To allocate the average of park trips generated and people using the parks within the District, we allocate the 314 estimated people using the parks daily by the percentages shown above.

Based on the one-half mile radius population, approximately 66 people may use the parks within the District, but living outside of the boundaries of the District.

One-Half Mile

A factor that has been considered is that most of the people living within the one-half mile radius from the parks within the District also live within a closer distance to other parks that are not within the District, and will most likely use the parks that are closer in proximity to their property.

However, in calculating the general benefit usage we recognize that those people may still use the District parks.

Taking the 66 persons using the parks within the District, but residing outside of the District, divided by the total population residing outside of the District, but within one- half mile from the parks (1,834), the estimated percentage of persons engaging in general benefit park activities that do not reside within the District represents 3.60%.

One-Half Mile Boundary General Benefit 3.60%

Given the location and size of the parks, it is very unlikely the public at large would seek out or use these smaller, local parks. Especially, when the City has larger community and regional parks that are intended to attract people from outside areas, and provide recreational opportunities beyond those supplied by the neighborhood parks. However, various sports teams are allowed access to the parks for games even though according to the City, sports teams with members residing within the District are given first priority for use of the parks.

Nevertheless, it is likely that certain members of the public at large may use the smaller parks, and as such, we have assigned a 1.00% general benefit for the park improvements 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 and economic activity benefits resulting from the park improvements is estimated to be 4.60% and the special benefit is estimated to be 95.40%.

Park General Benefit 4.60%

Collective General Benefit
Since the District is comprised of improved aesthetics, increased safety and economic activity benefits resulting from a blend of improvements (sidewalks, trails, street landscaping and parks), the activity of both pedestrians and vehicles must be addressed in a collective form rather than independently. Therefore, the arithmetic mean of the general benefit percentages has been used to quantify the overall level of general benefit for the District. This general benefit result is provided in the table below:

Sidewalk and Trail General Benefit 4.17%
Street Landscaping General Benefit 17.10%
Park General Benefit 4.60%
District General Benefit 8.62%

The general benefit, which is the percentage of the total budget that must be funded through sources other than assessments, is 8.62%. The special benefit then, which is the percentage of the budget that may be funded by assessments, is 91.38%.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, Article XIII D of the California Constitution, and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act, all parcels that receive 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. Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by local agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements.

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

Page 522 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 40 Fiscal Year 2024/25
The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessmen t 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."

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. Examples of parcels 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 right-of- ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. Furthermore, Proposition 218 requires the City to separate general benefits from special benefits, whereas only special benefits may be assessed.

As further detailed in the following sections, the Method of Assessment uses the following components to assign special benefit to each parcel:

• Benefit Points: Assignment of points for aesthetic, safety and economic special benefits.
• Benefit Factor: Multiplier. For residential parcels the benefit factor is units, and for non- residential parcels the benefit factor is lot size (acreage). • Benefit Units: Sum of a parcel’s benefit points multiplied by the parcel’s benefit factor.

The total amount is the special benefit units assigned to a parcel.

Apportioning of Special Benefit
As previously outlined, each of the parcels within the District receives a 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 and services provided is identified and the proportionate special benefits derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements.

Page 523 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 41 Fiscal Year 2024/25
The total costs of maintenance and operation, less the amount of general benefits identified, will be assessed to the parcels within the District based on the estimated benefit units assigned to each parcel. To assess special benefits appropriately, it is necessary to relate parcels of different land uses and developm ent status to each other. The benefit unit method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment since there is a total of 5,890 single family parcels within the District which represents 90.96% of the total assessable parcels within the District. The following shows how each parcel’s benefit units have been determined.

Aesthetic Benefit Points
Aesthetic Benefit Points are assigned based upon the property’s proximity to the improvements as well as the property’s existing land use. All Single Family Residential parcels are located within the same proximity to the collective improvements (sidewalks, community trails, street landscaping and one-half mile from one of the parks). Each Single Family Residential parcel is fronted by sidewalk improvements, is within a one-half mile from one of the neighborhood parks, and uses the roads with street landscaping to enter and exit the District . In addition, the community trails are located throughout the District and serve as connector s between the different neighborhoods, school and shopping locations. All properties are within similar proximity to the trail improvements. Many trails are located along the sidewalks and streets, and all properties within the District have access to the trails through the various access points located throughout the entire District. The Single Family Residential parcels within the District are relatively similar in both building size and lot size. Since the improvements are provided uniformly throughout the District, Single Family Residential parcels are assigned 4.00 aesthetic benefit points, one for each of the improvement types.

Multi-Family and Condominium parcels are within close proximity to the sidewalks, and receive the benefit of having maintained sidewalks for users to travel and access the property. Although these parcels benefit from the aesthetics of the sidewalks they do not receive the same benefit as Single Family Residential parcels, since Multi-Family and Condominium parcels do not have continuous sidewalk improvements along the frontage of each parcel/unit. Multi-Family and Condominium parcels are within a one -half mile of the neighborhood parks, use the roads with street landscaping to enter and exit their housing complexes withi n the District, and are in close proximity to the trail improvements. Accounting for the lower average household size of Multi - Family and Condominium parcels, and not having continuous sidewalk improvements directly fronting their property/unit, these properties have a reduced level of benefit from the improvements. Multi-Family and Condominium parcels are assigned 2.80 benefit points.

Maintained sidewalks and street landscaping create an aesthetically pleasing environment for both employees and patrons of commercial properties. The overall aesthetics, interest and desirability of commercial properties within the District increase, as a result of the maintenance and servicing of the collective improvements. Based on the City’s Land Use Plan and residential designations of homes within the District, there is an average of six Single Family Residential properties per acre within the Distr ict (General Plan, 2010). However, given the nature of their property use type, Commercial properties do not receive the same level of benefit

Page 524 ends

____________________________________________________________________________ Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 – City of Rancho Cucamonga 42 Fiscal Year 2024/25
from the trail and park improvements in relationship to residential land uses. Commercial properties are assigned 16.00 benefit points.

A handful of parcels within the District are used to provide public services (such as fire stations, schools, churches and other similar uses) to the surrounding community, and are located based upon their proximity to the parcel s they serve. These parcels benefit from the collective improvements in place, but at a reduced level compared to a Single Family Residential parcel, due to the nature of the improvements and their land use. In addition, these public service parcels are in place for the surrounding community, and the existence of well -maintained parks, street landscaping and community trails is not a significant factor in the decision to locate those facilities. Given the nature of their property use types, these public service parcels are assigned a 1.00 benefit points in recognition of the limited benefit they receive from the improvements maintained by the District.

Undeveloped parcels within the District receive an aesthetic benefit from the maintenance of the collective improvements, but given the very limited activity and pedestrian access that these properties provide, properties within this land use category receive a reduced level of benefit.

To account for this reduced benefit, all undeveloped properties are assigned 0.40 benefit points.

Common area, roads and easements are deemed to receive no benefit from the District maintenance activities because they serve as connectors for other properties and do not receive benefit from the increased aesthetics. Util ity parcels are located based on their proximity to the parcels they serve, and based upon their property usage (wireless towers, flood control basins and fire trail/access roads) do not benefit from the increased aesthetics.

The following shows the aes thetic benefit points assigned to the parcel land use categories within the District:

Parcel Land Use Category
Aesthetic Benefit
Points
Single Family Residential 4.00
Condominium Residential 2.80
Multi-Family Residential 2.80
Commercial/Industrial 16.00
Public Service Parcels – Church/Fire Station/School 1.00 Undeveloped 0.40
Common Area/Roads/Easements/Utility 0.00

Safety Benefit Points
Safety Benefit Points are assigned based upon the property’s proximity to the improvements as well as the property’s existing land use. The Single Family Residential parcels within the District are relatively similar in both building size and lot size. S ince the sidewalks, trails and street landscaping improvements are provided uniformly throughout the District, Single Family Residential parcels are assigned 3.00 safety benefit points, one for each of the improvement types. Based on the additional pedest rian traffic that commercial property generates compared to residential property, and that there is an average of six Single Family Residential Properties per acre within the District, Commercial parcels are assigned 18.00 benefit points.

Multi-Family and Condominium parcels are within close proximity to the sidewalks, and receive the benefit of having maintained sidewalks, trails and street landscaping for users to travel and access the property. Multi-Family and Condominium parcels receive a reduced level of benefit from the safety of the sidewalks as they do not receive the same benefit as parcels that have continuous sidewalk improvements along the entire frontage of their parcel/unit. In addition, Multi-Family and Condominium parcels have a lower average household size, which results in a reduced volume of pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks and trails compared to a Single Family Residential parcel. Multi-Family and Condominium parcels are assigned 2.10 benefit points.

A handful of parcels within the District are used to provide public services (such as fire stations, schools, churches and other similar uses) to the surrounding community, and are located based upon their proximity to the parcels they serve. However, based on the nature and location of the sidewalk and street landscaping improvements and public access to these properties, these parcels receive a safety benefit from the maintenance of the improvements. These public service parcels are assigned 2.00 benefit points in recognition of the benefit they receive.

Well maintained green areas reduce the occurrence of crime and vandalism, and as such the maintenance of the improvements within the District create a safety benefit for the undeveloped parcels within the District. However, the s afety benefit is reduced compared to a Single Family Residential parcels due to the very limited activity and pedestrian access that these properties provide. Undeveloped properties are assigned 0.30 benefit points.

Common area, roads and easements are deemed to receive no benefit from the District maintenance activities because they serve as connectors for other properties and do not receive benefit from the increased aesthetics. Utility parcels are located based on their proximity to the parcels they s erve, and given the nature of the property usage ((wireless towers, flood control basins and fire trail/access roads) do not benefit from the increased safety.

The following shows the safety benefit points assigned to the parcel land use categories within the District:
