The PIT count is an unduplicated count of sheltered and unsheltered people experiencing homelessness. With the help of volunteers, the count is organized by the Stanislaus Community System of Care (CSOC) made up of local governments, non-profit organizations, and homeless providers.

The 2023 unsheltered count took place in Riverbank on January 26, 2023 the County will be sharing the results of the PIT count and how Riverbank compares to other surrounding cities that also participated in the 2023 Count. The count data is critical to determine the scope of homelessness, define existing resources, and helps to identify any gaps in services in Stanislaus County.

Item 12.1 Staff
City Manager Garcia advised the City Council and the public on the following items:
• Pleased to report that our Façade Improvement Program is now active, we did what we are calling a soft opening of this program. We actually mailed letters to each of the property owners within the downtown specific plan. We felt it gave us a better opportunity to explain the program, rather than a social media posting and also gave them copies of the program guidelines themselves, so that they could see what the process could look like. We have had a wonderful response, and we are really excited of some of the proposed changes. Very excited, tomorrow we will launch our social media and webpage that will go live, in the event there are property owners who have not received the information as of yet, we do have it available on our website.

SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: May 23, 2023
Subject: Resolution to Authorize the City Manager to Enter into a Consultant Agreement for Environmental Analysis Services Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act with BaseCamp Environmental, Inc. for the Proposed Project at Claribel Road and Roselle Avenue
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Donna Kenney, Planning and Building Manager

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Resolution for environmental analysis services and authorize the City Manager to enter into a Consultant Agreement with BaseCamp Environmental, Inc (“BaseCamp”).

STAFF SUMMARY
The Planning Department has received numerous applications to develop the northwest corner of Claribel Road and Roselle Avenue. The applications include requests for a Tentative Map, a Rezone to Planned Development, and three Architecture and Site Plan Reviews for a gas station, a mini mart/car wash, and multifamily apartments. The developer requested that the application be expedited, which the Planning and Building Manager is unable to do because of the workload and a current lack of planning staff.

The developer offered to pay for Interwest to process the complex project under the Planning and Building Manager’s supervision. On April 25, 2023 the City Council approved a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract with Interwest for planning project management services.

In addition to planning management services, the proposed project needs environmental analysis pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. The project applicant has requested that BaseCamp Environmental, Inc be allowed to provide this service. Staff has drafted a contract for BaseCamp’s services (Attachment 2) and

Item 9.3 - CC / LRA 05/23/2023
obtained a proposal from BaseCamp (Exhibit A to Attachment 2). The City Attorney is preparing a funding agreement to secure payment by the project applicant for Interwest and BaseCamp work.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
No financial impact to the City of Riverbank’s budget. Environmental analysis hours will be paid for by the Project applicant.

BaseCamp Environmental, Inc., Riverbank Environmental Services Proposal 2

1.0 UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH

1.1 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND BACKGROUND
The proposed project involves residential and commercial development of a 10.23-acre site adjacent to and northwest of the intersection of Claribel Road and Roselle Avenue in the City of Riverbank. The project includes the development of a convenience store, fueling station and car wash facility immediately adjacent to the intersection; lands surrounding the proposed commercial area would be developed with 144 multi-family residential units.

The proposed residential project would consist of four three-story buildings of 36 one – and two-bedroom units each. Two additional buildings - a 2,000 square foot office/gym and a 2,000 square foot club house – together with access ways and parking areas would complete the residential complex. Commercial development would include a 4,400 square foot convenience store combined with a 2,200 square foot quick serve restaurant, 20 fueling positions and a 115 lineal foot tunnel car wash and associated interior cleaning area.

A single driveway serving both planned uses would enter the site from Roselle Avenue.

Two driveways on Claribel Road would each serve one of the proposed uses. Utility service would be obtained from existing City facilities in the adjacent streets. Storm drainage would be routed through a dual-use drainage basin located in the western portion of the site.

The applicant has filed initial applications for City approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, rezoning of Parcel 3 of the proposed parcel map for high density residential use and site plan approval for both projects.

The proposed discretionary approvals are considered a “project” and therefore require review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is anticipated for the purposes of this proposal that the project’s potential environmental effects can be adequately addressed with a CEQA Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration IS/MND. BaseCamp Environmental, Inc. (BaseCamp) proposes to prepare and process the required IS/MND in cooperation with City of Riverbank staff. This document describes the BaseCamp team’s proposed Scope of Work for completion of the required.

1.2 OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
This section provides a general overview of the services to be provided by BaseCamp.

These include:

Environmental Coordination and Planning
Preparation of Technical Studies
Preparation of Administrative Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND)
Publication and Noticing of Public Review Draft IS/MND
BaseCamp Environmental, Inc., Riverbank Environmental Services Proposal 3 Response to Comments and Preparation of Final IS/MND
Preparation of Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Plan
Public Meeting Attendance
Preparation and Filing of Notice of Determination

1.2.1 Environmental Coordination and Planning
BaseCamp’s involvement in the project will begin with initial coordination and communication with the applicant, design architects and engineers and City staff.

BaseCamp will participate in meetings, discussions with City staff and other communication related to the project description and the method and scope of CEQA review in the various issue areas.

Additional environmental coordination and planning services will be required over the course of IS/MND preparation and processing. These additional needs would be discussed during a series of on-line or in-person meetings; a total of six such meetings are anticipated. Should the planning and coordination process reveal additional environmental concerns not addressed in this proposal, these concerns will be performed as extra work, subject to prior consultation with and approval by the City.

1.2.2 IS/MND Preparation
Preparation of the IS/MND will begin with defining the existing setting of the project and the availability of programmatic environmental information, including information available in the City’s general plan EIR and other CEQA documents that may have been prepared for other nearby projects.

BaseCamp’s analytical approach to preparing the IS/MND would include developing a detailed understanding of the project and the physical changes that would accompany it.

This information together with the environmental setting and previous impact analysis data will be used to identify the potential environmental effects of the project. The General Plan EIR will be used as a tiering document to describe any environmental effects that have already been addressed on a programmatic level, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15152, 15153 and 15183.

To the degree that it is effective and reasonable, and without generating unnecessary additional work, the IS/MND will reference the analysis contained in the General Plan EIR, consider its applicability with respect to the proposed project and determine whether the General Plan EIR analysis is sufficient to meet the needs of CEQA or, alternatively, whether and what additional analysis is needed for that purpose.

BaseCamp Environmental, Inc., Riverbank Environmental Services Proposal 4 This information will be supplemented by a new traffic study, a noise impact technical study, and biological and cultural resources studies of the annexation area. A Health Risk Assessment will also be needed as a part of the IS/MND contract. Should the need for other technical studies be identified during IS/MND preparation, other qualified subcontractors will be identified and retained by BaseCamp on an extra services basis, Riverbank Community Development Director or City Council as appropriate.

The various technical chapters of the IS/MND would be brought together in an administrative Draft IS/MND, which would be submitted to the City of Riverbank for administrative review. After these reviews and associated revisions, the Draft IS/MND will be finalized and released for a 45-day public review period.

Following public review, BaseCamp would prepare a Final IS/MND including responses to comments on the Draft IS/MND. A Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Plan (MMRP) would be prepared for adoption in conjunction with project approval. Upon project approval, BaseCamp will prepare a Notice of Determination and monitor its filing by the City staff, or file it with the County Clerk and State Clearinghouse on City request.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

2.1 COORDINATION AND MEETINGS

2.2 PREPARATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT IS/MND

2.2.1 Environmental Coordination and Planning
BaseCamp’s involvement in IS/MND preparation would begin on approval of the scope of work from the project applicant. BaseCamp proposes to coordinate and attend an IS/MND kickoff teleconference with City staff and the applicant’s representatives. The kickoff agenda would include:

Clarification of and questions regarding Project Description Clarification and questions related to IS/MND scope of work, environmental issues
Location and access to available information, as required Identification of related projects
Project schedule, including periodic coordinating meetings Site access, permissions and notification
Cumulative impacts and alternatives
BaseCamp will attend general coordination teleconferences with the City and applicant representatives as scheduled during the IS/MND preparation process. At a minimum and in addition to the initiation meeting, these events would include:

IS/MND status, midway through preparation of the Administrative Draft IS/MND After City’s review of the Administrative Draft IS/MND
Close of public review and initial review of comments on the Draft IS/MND Upon City’s review of the Administrative Final IS/MND
The City will require additional planning services over the course of processing entitlement applications. These additional needs may include meetings and coordination with other agencies, preparation of other needed documents not identified in this proposal. These needs will be met , if requested, as extra work items. As they come up, these needs will be identified and communicated to the City as soon as possible.

Accounting for these extra services is addressed in Section 4.0.

2.2.2 Preparation of Technical Studies
BaseCamp will engage its traffic, noise, biological and cultural resources technical subcontractors as soon as the Project Description is considered adequately defined and stable for the purposes of environmental impact analysis. For example, traffic studies will be initiated as soon as development quantities, proposed access points and level of required on- and off-site transportation improvements are defined.

BaseCamp Environmental, Inc., Riverbank Environmental Services Proposal 6 Subcontractor proposals for each of the proposed technical studies are appended to this proposal. Subcontractor authorizations will include delivery schedules that are consistent with the overall CEQA document preparation schedule described herein.

2.3.3 Administrative Draft IS/MND
BaseCamp will prepare an administrative review version of the Draft IS/MND, which will be submitted electronically to City staff for review. Hard copies will not be provided unless requested; if requested, however, hard copies will be provided for the cost of reproduction. The principal subtasks and other elements of Administrative Draft IS/MND preparation are discussed below.

Project Description
BaseCamp will prepare a detailed written and graphic description of the project that identifies its purposes and objectives, proposed physical development, off-site improvements, project operations and environmental controls that may be proposed by the applicant, or any proposed project modifications identified during the IS/MND preparation process and accepted by the applicant. The description would be based on information supplied by the applicant and its design consultants.

Preparation of Administrative Draft IS/MND
The IS/MND will include an Introduction chapter providing a very brief summary of the project, general information related to CEQA and the IS/MND process, information related to the public review process, and a discussion of the project history and any related projects in the project vicinity. The project and its environmental effects will be summarized and tabulated for each environmental discipline in a detailed summary table.

The table will display identify the significance of each effect, proposed mitigation measures, and the significance (or lack of significance) of impacts with the incorporation of proposed mitigation measures.

Preparation of the IS/MND technical chapters will begin immediately upon authorization with the identification, collection and analysis of available source documentation and environmental information as well as consultation with City staff. The scope of study will be related to the importance and complexity of anticipated environmental issues. The issues to be addressed are detailed in the Notice of Preparation.

BaseCamp will analyze the potential environmental effects of the project in each environmental discipline by considering the various elements of the project in light of the available Environmental Setting data, including technical studies provided by the BaseCamp subcontractors. Significant, potentially significant and less than significant environmental effects will be identified in each area of concern, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Appendix G. The basis of the environmental impact analysis will be “significance thresholds,” which will be identified in each issue area based on Appendix G and any other applicable local guidelines.

Each subject-specific analysis will include consideration of the environmental analysis contained in the EIR prepared for the Riverbank General Plan and any adopted specific plans related to the project site. Specifically, this analysis will consider whether the environmental issue was adequately addressed in the General Plan EIR, such that the potential significant environmental effects of the project are adequately disclosed, and mitigation measures are identified.

The IS/MND will also consider relationships between the various disciplines and project elements. The analysis will include chapters addressing potential energy, greenhouse gas, tribal cultural resources and wildfire effects as well as mandatory findings of significance as required by CEQA.

For any significant or potentially significant environmental effects, the IS/MND will identify existing adopted State and local requirements that would, through the ordinary operation of law and practice in the City of Riverbank, avoid or reduce potential environmental impacts. These provisions will be identified as elements of the “existing regulatory environment” that would reduce the effects of the project. These existing environmental controls will be specifically identified in the Initial Study text and listed in the IS/MND Summary Table and the MMRP.

Where existing requirements are not sufficient to avoid or reduce potentially significant environmental effects to a less than significant level, the IS/MND will identify additional feasible mitigation measures needed to meet these objectives. Mitigation measures will identify the necessary action, responsibility for implementation and monitoring, and whether or not the measure(s) will reduce impacts to a less than significant level.

Feasible mitigation measures will be evaluated for consistency with applicable statutory and case law standards, i.e. nexus and proportionality. Each mitigation measure will be evaluated for its potential to generate additional environmental effects, especially significant environmental effects. Potential for significant effects that could arise from BaseCamp Environmental, Inc., Riverbank Environmental Services Proposal 8 proposed mitigation measures will be identified in the IS/MND. The anticipated scope of analysis in each of the Initial Study subject areas is outlined below.

Aesthetics: The IS/MND will describe potential effects of the project on existing and anticipated future landscapes in the project area, aesthetic conditions, sensitivities and values, and existing night lighting. The aesthetic values of the project site, its visibility from public roads and nearby residential areas, and the nature of views to and from the site will be discussed.

Agriculture and Forestry: The IS/MND will describe presence or absence of agricultural activities and values on and near the project site from soils studies and available land management information. The IS/MND will disclose relevant agriculture-related information from the General Plan and State mapping. Any potential effects related to prime agricultural land designations or Williamson Act contracts for the site or vicinity will be discussed.

Air Quality: The IS/MND will describe the regional and local climate, existing air quality, attainment/non-attainment status, and local compliance under the state and federal Clean Air Acts and applicable San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) regulations. The IS/MND will quantify the potential air emissions from project construction and operation, including operation of proposed fueling facilities, and compare these results to SJVAPCD significance thresholds using the CalEEMod 2022 model, and their effects on the regional airshed as well as local residential communities.

Potential health risks and effects on carbon monoxide concentrations would be estimated using available screening models.

Biological Resources: The IS/MND would incorporate the results of a database search and site inspection by BaseCamp subcontractor Moore Biological Consultants. The Moore Biological report will characterize overall project site habitat values and the potential presence/absence of special-status plant and wildlife species as well as wetlands, riparian areas or other sensitive habitats. Potentially significant project effects on biological values will be described in the IS/MND together with mitigation measures available or needed to address the identified effects.

Cultural Resources: Preparation of the IS/MND will include a new data base search and survey of the site by subcontractor Solano Archaeological to determine the archaeological sensitivity of the site and the presence, if any, of significant archaeological resources. It is not believed that any historical resources are present on the site. The IS/MND will document any potential conflicts with identified resources as well as procedures to be followed in the event of inadvertent disturbance of archaeological resources during construction. The analysis will also take into account any concerns voiced by interested Native American tribes during the AB 52 process.

Geology and Soils: The IS/MND will include a description of regional and local geology, topography, faulting, seismicity, and soil properties based on the City and County General Plans, other existing published sources and any site-specific data that is available for the project site, including a detailed geotechnical evaluation, if any, prepared for BaseCamp Environmental, Inc., Riverbank Environmental Services Proposal 9 project. The IS/MND will identify potential project impacts on mineral resources, geologic hazards and soils.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The IS/MND will include a discussion of global climate change and potential project emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). The project will be compared for consistency with state and local planning efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including the provisions of the California Climate Change Scoping Plan, and information available regarding the City of Riverbank greenhouse gas reduction programs. The IS/MND will quantify potential greenhouse gas emissions associated with the project using the CalEEMod model.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials: The IS/MND will identify existing potential hazards, including existing or potential environmental contamination sources on and near the project site from field review, from available mapping and a hazardous materials database search to be obtained from a third-party supplier by BaseCamp. The IS/MND will consider potential hazardous materials releases and air toxic emissions associated with the project as well as storage and use of hazardous materials on the site. potential health risks associated with air toxics will be addressed in a Health Risk Assessment prepared by subcontractor Environmental Permitting Services.

Hydrology and Water Quality: The IS/MND will identify existing surface and ground water features of the project vicinity, their general flow and quality characteristics and mapped river and dam failure floodplain areas from available documentation. The IS/MND will describe direct and indirect effects of the project on surface and groundwater resources, storm water impacts on surface water quality and the mitigating effects of the City’s adopted storm water management requirements.

Land Use and Planning: The IS/MND will describe existing and planned land uses and land use patterns on and near the project site, City land use designations and zoning and any applicable land use policy, overlay designations, zoning standards or other requirements related to the project. The IS/MND will describe the potential effects of the project, including potential conflicts with existing and planned land uses.

Noise: The IS/MND will characterize existing environmental noise conditions in the project vicinity from on-site noise data collected by BaseCamp subcontractor Saxelby Acoustics and from General Plan Noise Element data. The IS/MND will identify existing sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the project, quantify project construction and operation noise levels, including car wash noise, and potential effects on sensitive receptors in terms of consistency with City requirements.

Population and Housing: The IS/MND will describe population characteristics and distribution of housing in Riverbank from available data and identify other nearby areas planned for residential development. The IS/MND will quantify the effects of proposed residential development on planned City population and consistency with City population and growth policies and standards. The project’s contributions to the Riverbank housing stock will be identified.

BaseCamp Environmental, Inc., Riverbank Environmental Services Proposal 10 Public Services: The IS/MND will identify existing public service providers with responsibility for the project site and vicinity, including police protection, fire protection, school and recreation/park service providers and facilities. The service responsibilities and activities of the responsible providers, their relationship to the project, and to project area access and water supplies will be described. The IS/MND will discuss the service demands, including any special needs, associated with the project and the ability of the service providers to meet those needs. If additional service facilities will be needed, the IS/MND will consider the potential environmental impacts of meeting those needs.

Transportation: The transportation impact analysis will be based on a technical report prepared by Wood Rodgers, including additional work as described in the Attachment.

The IS/MND will identify and describe potentially-affected County and City roads, transit, airports and other transportation facilities serving the project vicinity. The IS/MND will describe Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT) generated by each of the two land uses associated with the project in comparison to existing VMT levels to the degree documented by the City of Riverbank. The IS/MND will describe the potential effects of project development and operation on non-road transportation, including pedestrian, bicycle and transit.

Utility Systems: The IS/MND will identify and describe the type and location of existing and planned City utility systems that would provide utility service to the project, including the existing potable water, sewer systems and storm drainage as well as the regulated utilities. The project’s demand for and potential utility effects will be considered in the IS/MND based on discussions with the Project Engineer and City utility staff.

Tribal Cultural Resources: The IS/MND will report on the results of the data base search at the Central California Information Center, the City’s AB 52 notification efforts as well as any information gleaned from tribal notification, including Native American outrerach performed as a part of the cultural resources record search and survey. BaseCamp will work with City staff to prepare the AB 52 tribal notification letter and attachments required under AB 52 on behalf of the City. BaseCamp will attend one tribal consultation-related meeting to discuss Native American concerns and their resolution.

2.2.4 Administrative Draft IS/MND, First Revision and Screencheck BaseCamp will meet with City staff to discuss staff comments on the Administrative Draft IS/MND. BaseCamp will revise the document to address City comments and resubmit it as a screencheck draft for final review and approval for publication as the Public Review Draft IS/MND. City comments on the screencheck draft will be incorporated into the Public Review Draft IS/MND as required.

2.2.5 Draft IS/MND Publication and Distribution
The Public Review Draft IS/MND will be reproduced and circulated for public and agency comment as directed by the City. BaseCamp will prepare and distribute the Notice of Intent to a distribution list provided by the City, by email where feasible.

Primary IS/MND distribution for review would be accomplished by electronic BaseCamp Environmental, Inc., Riverbank Environmental Services Proposal 11 publication of the IS/MND and appendices on the City’s web site. BaseCamp will prepare necessary State Clearinghouse notices and public review-related document and post the IS/MND to the State Clearinghouse CEQAnet site. It is not expected that distribution of hard copies will be needed for public review; if hard copies are requested by the City, they will be prepared by BaseCamp for the cost of reproduction.

2.2.6 Final IS/MND, Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Plan Following the public review period, BaseCamp would meet with the City staff to discuss any comments received on the Draft IS/MND and to determine the general nature and voicing of the responses to comments.

BaseCamp would prepare an addendum-style Final IS/MND incorporating the Draft IS/MND by reference and including the Draft IS/MND summary, an errata section identifying any necessary changes to the IS/MND, a list of commenters, and the proposed City responses to all of the substantive comments received during the public review period. The Final IS/MND will be submitted electronically to the City for administrative review. The Final IS/MND would be revised to reflect City comments and resubmitted for final City review and approval.

BaseCamp will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program (MMRP) in the format customarily used by the City. The MMRP will identify the IS/MND mitigation measures, the parties responsible for implementing the mitigation, and the timing and method of monitoring. The MMRP will be submitted to the City electronically for administrative review and then revised to reflect City comments and resubmitted.

2.2.7 Public Meetings
BaseCamp will attend two public meetings (i.e. one Planning Commission, one City Council) for the purpose of answering questions or discussing the IS/MND and CEQA process with the decision-makers and the attending public. BaseCamp will attend additional public meetings as directed by the City on an extra services basis.

2.2.8 Notice of Determination
Upon City approval of the project, BaseCamp will prepare a Notice of Determination for review and filing with the County Clerk by the City. On City request, BaseCamp will file the Notice with the Clerk. BaseCamp will file a copy of the Clerk-filed NOD and fee payment receipt with the State Clearinghouse.

SCOPE OF WORK
Date: March 14th, 2023
To: Charlie Simpson
BaseCamp Environmental
From: Solano Archaeological Services, LLC
Project: 2819 Claribel Road Development Project, City of Riverbank, Stanislaus County, California
Solano Archaeological Services, LLC (SAS) understands that BaseCamp Environmental proposes to develop an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the 2819 Claribel Road Development Project in the City of Riverbank, Stanislaus County, California (the Project). As the proposed Project is subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements, SAS proposes to conduct all aspects of this investigation in accordance with CEQA guidelines. This Scope-of-Work is based on information provided by Mr. Charlie Simpson via email on March 13th, 2023. An accompanying Cost Estimate is provided as a separate attached document below.

If you have questions about the Scope-of-Work provided below, please contact Mr. Jason Coleman, SAS Managing Principal, at 707-718-1416 or [email protected].

SCOPE OF WORK
Type of Services Needed: Cultural Resources Inventory and Evaluation Regulatory Compliance Required: CEQA
Approximate Project Area Acreage: ~10.23 acres
Pre-Inventory Project Concerns: None

REQUIRED SERVICES
Archaeological and Historical Records Search and Literature Review

1. A standard pre-field comprehensive records search will be conducted through the Central California Information Center (CCIC) at California State University, Stanislaus. The CCIC will review the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) for any listings within a half-mile radius of the project area, identifying any documented archaeological sites and studies to provide an assessment of the project area’s archaeological sensitivity. The CCIC search will also include, but not necessarily be restricted to, a review of the following State of California Department of Parks and Recreation and Office of Historic Preservation inventories:
▪ California Inventory of Historic Resources
▪ National Register of Historic Places
▪ California Register of Historic Places
▪ California Historical Landmarks
▪ California Points of Historical Interest
In addition to the CCIC records search, SAS will research land-use patterns associated with the project area to establish a chain of ownership of the involved property to aid in the evaluation of Solano Archaeological Services

This research will include a review of General Land Office plat maps, historic aerials, and historic USGS topographic quadrangles. All CCIC and SAS research findings will be thoroughly analyzed before fieldwork commences.

2. Native American Community Outreach
The Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 21080.1, 21080.3.1, and 21080.3.2 require public agencies to consult with appropriate California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of mitigating impacts to cultural resources. To meet PRC requirements, SAS will contact the NAHC and request a review of the NAHC Sacred Lands File database for documented cultural properties in or near the project area.

The NAHC will also be asked to provide a list of Native American contacts who will be notified in writing of the Project and solicited for any available information on potential unrecorded cultural resources or properties in the project area. Although SAS can provide client and agency assistance, per AB-52, only the lead agency can conduct formal consultation with requesting tribal governments. Other than initiating outreach and assisting with formal consultation, SAS cannot play any direct government-to-government roles in the process and also does not anticipate a presence at any in-person meetings. The results of this outreach to the Native American community will be summarized in the Cultural Resources Inventory and Evaluation Report (Section 4).

3. Pedestrian Survey
An intensive pedestrian survey of the project area will be conducted by qualified SAS archaeologists walking transects spaced at no greater than 15 meters. The SAS team will take representative digital photographs of the project area, and thoroughly video and photograph any discovered resources. A sub-meter accurate GPS unit (Trimble Geo7X) will be utilized to verify the project area perimeter, and document resource boundaries as appropriate (polygons for area sites, lines for linear sites, and points for isolated finds). State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 forms will be utilized to document any findings.

4. Cultural Resources Inventory and Evaluation Report
SAS will prepare a memorandum format report that documents the Project description, regulatory context, cultural setting, Native American consultation/outreach program, the results of CCIC and SAS research, and the findings of the field survey. Each documented cultural resource will be evaluated for California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) listing eligibility. The report will also provide Project-specific recommendations based on resource CRHR evaluations in conjunction with Native American concerns, and potential effects by Project implementation. In addition, the report will include protocols for the inadvertent discovery of cultural resources, and appropriate mitigation measures for the avoidance of potentially significant (per CRHR criteria) occurrences. A copy of the final report will be submitted to the CCIC per SAS’ CHRIS user agreement.

5. Payment
SAS will submit an invoice for 100% of the provided cost estimate after submission of the report.

The client agrees to compensate SAS within 45 days of receipt of the invoice.

6. Assumptions
A. Should a discovered resource need additional mitigative efforts (e.g., archaeological testing, data recovery, human interment analysis, etc.) for evaluation, this mitigation is not included in this scope and will require an additional Scope-of-Work and Cost Estimate.

B. Timeline of 30 days to deliver report with standard records search and non-expedited status.

C. This scope includes only up to two rounds of report review.

D. No built environment resource necessitating a separate study with an architectural historian will be identified.

Should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, the Scope-of-Work and Cost Estimate may need to be adjusted to reflect the additional work involved.

We would like to thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal. If you would like SAS to proceed with conducting the Scope-of-Work as outlined above, please provide written authorization and we will start the work right away.

Re: Proposal for Preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis Report for the Riverbank Residential and Commercial Developments in Riverbank, CA Dear Mr. Simpson,
Wood Rodgers, Inc. (Wood Rodgers) is pleased to have this opportunity to provide a proposal for the preparation of a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) report for the Riverbank Residential and Commercial Developments (Project). The Project site is located on a 10.19-acre parcel (APN 075- 014-026-000) located at 2819 Claribel Road in Riverbank, CA (City).

SCOPE OF WORK
All Project understanding is based on information contained in the Project’s site plan, provided by BaseCamp Environmental (Client) on 03/11/2023 (see Exhibit D). The residential component of the Project proposes to develop 144 multifamily dwelling units, and the commercial component of the Project would develop a gas station with 20 fueling stations, a 4,400 square foot convenience store, a 115-foot express car wash, and a 2,200 square foot quick serve restaurant. The Project would gain access to the surrounding roadway network via two driveways on Claribel Road and one driveway on Roselle Avenue. There would be internal access between the residential and commercial components of the site.

The Project site is currently zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial. The Project proposes to rezone part of the site to as HDR - High Density Residential.

Wood Rodgers will analyze one (1) Project description in the TIA based on a Project description provided by the Client. The final Project description will be confirmed with the Client upon notice to proceed.

The purpose of this TIA is to estimate Project travel characteristics and evaluate potential traffic deficiencies and impacts of the Project on surrounding roadway facilities. Traffic analysis in the TIA will be prepared consistent with City of Riverbank guidelines and CEQA Guidelines. The following tasks will be performed as part of the TIA:

Mr. Charlie Simpson
March 17, 2023

TASK 1 | PREPARATION OF TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
TASK 1.1 | PROJECT MANAGEMENT
• Communicate with the Client as necessary to discuss and resolve key issues. Attend a Project kickoff phone conference with Client and/or City if necessary to establish final Project description and scope of the TIA.
• Daily project management and quality control/quality assurance. • Review Project documents (Project description, site plans, driveway access, emergency access, etc.). • Review agency planning documents including, but not limited to the City General Plan Circulation Element, etc.
• Review relevant, recently completed traffic studies and planning/engineering reports (as available).

TASK 1.2 | TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND LOCAL TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS • Based on a preliminary Project trip generation/distribution, Wood Rodgers is proposing to analyze up to five (5) existing intersections and three (3) Project driveway intersections. ▪ Study Intersections:

1. Oakdale Road & Claribel Road

2. Squire Wells Way & Claribel Road

3. Roselle Avenue & Claribel Road

4. Terminal Avenue & Claribel Road

5. Roselle Avenue & Westgate Drive

6. Project Driveway 1 & Claribel Road

7. Project Driveway 2 & Claribel Road

8. Project Driveway 3 & Roselle Avenue
▪ Note: Any additional study intersections or facilities subsequently identified for evaluation can be included in the TIA upon appropriate authorization. Any change to the study facilities to be analyzed in the TIA may lead to a change in budget and schedule. • New weekday peak hour traffic counts will be obtained for the five (5) study intersections. • Wood Rodgers will also collect average daily traffic counts at up to three (3) roadway segments for use in Project air quality analysis:

1. Claribel Road west of Roselle Avenue

2. Claribel Road east of Roselle Avenue

3. Roselle Avenue north of Claribel Road
Task 1.2.1 | Estimate Project Trip Characteristics
• Prepare final Project trip generation for weekday daily, AM peak hour, and PM peak hour conditions using trip generation rates specified in Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) publication Trip Generation, 11th Edition (2021).

Mr. Charlie Simpson
March 17, 2023

• Prepare final Project trip distribution and assignment based on review of existing traffic flow and travel patterns within the vicinity of the Project and knowledge of the area.

Task 1.2.2 | Operations Analysis
• Operations analysis for study intersections and roadways will be performed under the following time periods and scenarios:
▪ Time Periods:

1. Weekday AM & PM Peak Hour
▪ Scenarios:

1. “Existing” Conditions

2. “Existing Plus Project” Conditions

3. “Cumulative” Conditions

4. “Cumulative Plus Project” Conditions
• Assumption: Cumulative Conditions will be estimated as existing volumes plus volumes from pending and approved projects in the area, or from latest available travel demand model files, if available. The City will provide a list of pending and approved projects. • The following analysis will be performed for the above scenarios:
▪ Complete HCM 6thEdition capacity analysis using Synchro software for all study intersections under weekday AM and PM peak hour conditions.
▪ Complete peak hour signal warrant analysis for unsignalized study intersections. ▪ Develop future volume forecasts for “Cumulative Conditions” based on a list of pending and approved projects.
▪ 95th percentile queues will be analyzed for critical movements.

Task 1.2.3 | Identification of Level-of-Service Deficiencies and Recommended Improvements • The study will follow County Level of Service (LOS) standards outlined in the City TIA Guidelines or General Plan.
• Identify LOS deficiencies caused by the Project, if any. • Recommend off-site intersection/roadway improvements, as needed, related to the proposed Project. • Estimate Project fair share costs towards identified improvements.

Task 1.2.4 | Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Transit Facilities • Identify Project impacts on existing and proposed pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities in the study area.

Task 1.2.5 | Site Access and Internal Circulation Evaluation • Evaluate Project site internal circulation, driveway locations, parking, and emergency access. • Provide recommendations for potential improvements to internal circulation.

Mr. Charlie Simpson
March 17, 2023

Task 1.2.6 | Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis
• Project vehicle miles traveled (VMT) will be evaluated consistent with the current City policies and guidelines (if available), the OPR Technical Advisory, and CEQA Guidelines. • Project will be compared against applicable VMT screening criteria. • Project VMT will be estimated using trip lengths obtained from big data or regional travel demand model sources, if necessary.
• Project VMT may be compared against existing average VMT for similar land uses to determine impacts.
• Mitigation measures will be identified, if necessary, to reduce project VMT.

TASK 1.3 | PREPARE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT
• Prepare a detailed TIA Report summarizing data/results/findings from Tasks 1.1 through 1.2using appropriate text, tables, and graphics.
• Prepare and deliver one (1) electronic PDF copy of the Draft TIA Report to the Client. • Respond to one (1) round of Client and City comments on the Draft TIA Report. • Prepare and deliver one (1) electronic PDF copy Final TIA Report.

Item 9.4 – CC/LRA 05/23/2023

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL/ LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.4
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: May 23, 2023
Subject: Second Reading by Title Only of a Proposed Ordinance Adding Chapter 150.080 Through 150.100, Entitled Vacant Buildings to Chapter 150, Building Regulations, to Title XV, Land Usage, of the Riverbank Code of Ordinances
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted By: Tom Hallinan, City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve a second reading of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Riverbank adding Chapter 150.080 through 150.100, entitled Vacant Buildings to Chapter 150, Building Regulations, to Title XV, Land Usage, of the Riverbank Code of Ordinances. On May 9, 2023 the City Council held a Public Hearing and voted 5-0 to approve it for a second reading.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:

Vacant buildings and buildings that are boarded up or in a state of disrepair (collectively, “vacant buildings”) often contribute to the decrease in value of surrounding properties, precipitate disinvestment by neighboring owners, provide a location for criminal activity, and undermine the aesthetic character of a neighborhood. Additionally, vacant buildings have the potential to be detrimental to public health, safety, and welfare; unreasonably interfere with the reasonable and lawful use and enjoyment of other premises within the neighborhood; and pose a danger to police officers or firefighters entering the premises in times of emergency.

With the continued development of the City, vacant buildings may become an issue the City will increasingly need to address. Currently, the Riverbank Code of Ordinances only regulates vacant buildings as a nuisance when they remain open to trespassers, become a shelter for vagrants, or otherwise become a threat to public health.1 The proposed

1 Riverbank Code of Ordinances, section 97.29.

Item 9.4 – CC/LRA 05/23/2023
ordinance establishes rules and regulations for vacant buildings that will allow the City to proactively address any challenges it faces with regard to vacant buildings in the future.

The proposed ordinance establishes a vacant or boarded building monitoring program (the “Program”) which is administered by the City Manager, or their designee. The Program identifies and monitors the maintenance of all vacant or boarded buildings in the City and allows the City to recover the costs of monitoring such buildings.

Any owner of a vacant building must register for the Program within thirty (30) days of the building becoming vacant or boarded and shall be subject to a fee set by the City Council.

Owners registered in the Program must also provide the City Manager or their designee with a rehabilitation plan containing a statement outlining the owner’s plan to rehabilitate the property, such as repairing the premises for occupancy, meeting applicable codes, offering the premises for sale, lease, or rent; and a timeline for any of the actions mentioned. The City Manager or their designee, in their discretion, may waive the monthly fee of the Program upon a showing by an owner that they are progressing diligently to repair the premises; the building is being actively offered for sale, lease, or rent; or the City Manager or their designee determines that the building does not contribute toward blight, based on specific criteria.

Failing to register for the Program constitutes a violation subject to administrative penalties. An owner failing to register for the Program is provided a notice of violation, which commences a 30-day correction period. If the owner still has not registered for the Program after the 30-day correction period and any applicable extension, the owner is then subject to administrative penalties, not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) per violation. The ordinance provides various factors that may be considered when determining the amount of the administrative penalty. Such factors include the severity, extent and length of time in which the blighting conditions have existed on the property; the owner’s efforts, or lack thereof, to remedy the problem; staff time and costs incurred in investigating the conditions; and the extent, if any, to which an administrative penalty would impose a substantial economic hardship on the owner or would hinder the rehabilitation of the building. The ordinance also provides the owner an option to appeal any penalties assessed, and an opportunity for a hearing.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The proposed project is exempt from analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the “Common Sense Exemption” that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing significant environmental effects, as specified in Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

FINANACIAL IMPACT:

The proposed ordinance may increase City costs due to the need to monitor vacant buildings and enforce the provisions of the ordinance. Enforcement of the proposed ordinance may offset some of any costs that arise.

CITY OF RIVERBANK
ORDINANCE 2023-XXX

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERBANK, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 150.80 THROUGH 150.100 ENTITLED VACANT BUILDINGS TO CHAPTER 150, BUILDING REGULATIONS, TO TITLE XV, LAND

USAGE, OF THE RIVERBANK CODE OF ORDINANCES
WHEREAS, structures that sit vacant, in a state of disrepair, or boarded up (collectively, “vacant buildings”) are public nuisances in that they often contribute to the decrease in value of surrounding properties, precipitate disinvestment by neighboring owners, provide a location for criminal activity, undermine the aesthetic nature of the City of Riverbank, and have other undesirable effects; and
WHEREAS, vacant buildings, and especially those which remain boarded or in a state of disrepair for more than six months, are unsightly and diminish neighboring property values and neighbors’ sense of well-being; and WHEREAS, allowing certain buildings to remain vacant even in the absence of code violations or disrepair may pose a danger to police officers or firefighters entering the premises in time of emergency; and detracts from the appearance and good order of a neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, registration of vacant properties and implementation of a maintenance plan will discourage property owners from allowing their properties to remain vacant or in a state of disrepair and will thereby provide a basis for the return of vacant buildings to the housing stock and other good use; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Riverbank desires to impose certain rules and regulations on vacant buildings within the City of Riverbank.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERBANK DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Sections 150.80 through 150.100, entitled Vacant Buildings, of Chapter 150, Building Regulations, of Title XV, Land Usage, shall be added to the Riverbank Municipal Code and shall read as follows:

The City Council finds as follows:

CC/LRA – 05/09/2023 & 05/23/2023
CC Ordinance 2023-
Vacant and boarded buildings are a major cause and source of blight in residential and non-residential neighborhoods. This is particularly true when the owner of the vacant building fails to maintain and manage the building to ensure that it does not become a liability to the neighborhood. Vacant buildings can attract transients and criminals. Use of vacant buildings by transients and criminals, who frequently employ primitive cooking or heating methods, creates a risk of fire for the vacant building and adjacent properties.

Vacant properties are often used as dumping grounds for junk and debris and are often overgrown with weeds and grass. Vacant buildings which are boarded up to prevent entry by transients and other long-term vacancies discourage economic development and limit appreciation of property values.

Based on the likely economic and public health, welfare, and safety problems caused by vacant buildings, the City needs to monitor the status of vacant buildings so that they do not become attractive nuisances, are not used by trespassers, are properly maintained both inside and out, and do not become a blighting influence in the City. City departments involved in such monitoring include the police, public works and building departments and the code enforcement division. There is a substantial cost to the City for monitoring vacant buildings, whether or not those buildings are boarded up. It is the responsibility of property owners to prevent property they own from becoming a burden to the neighborhood and community and a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and any costs to the City for monitoring vacant buildings should be borne by those owners.

15.150.081 Definitions.

The definitions contained in this section shall govern the construction of this Chapter. “Blight” shall mean a condition of decay, deterioration, disrepair, neglect or inadequate maintenance, including, but not limited to, conditions constituting a public nuisance pursuant to Section 98.03 of this Code, contributing to the diminution of the property values of surrounding properties, undermining the economic vitality of a neighborhood or creating health or safety dangers.
“Boarded building” or “boarded up” shall mean a building, any of the doors or windows of which have been covered with plywood or other material. “Vacant building” or “vacant” shall mean a building which is without a legal resident or occupant or which is not being put to a lawful commercial or industrial use.

15.150.082 Vacant or boarded building monitoring program.

A. Monitoring program. The City Manager or their designee shall be responsible for administering a vacant or boarded building monitoring program for identifying and monitoring the maintenance of all vacant or boarded buildings in the City. Any building,

CC/LRA – 05/09/2023 & 05/23/2023
CC Ordinance 2023-
residential or non-residential, which is boarded up by voluntary action of the owner or as a result of enforcement activities by the City or is vacant for more than ninety (90) days for any reason, must register for the program.

Every owner of a vacant or boarded building that is registered in the program shall be subject to a monthly fee in an amount set by resolution of the City Council not to exceed the reasonable cost of monitoring the vacant or boarded building, and must submit a rehabilitation plan containing:

1. A statement outlining the property owner’s plan, if applicable, for repairing the premises for occupants, meeting all applicable codes, offering the premises for sale, lease, or rent, or actively maintaining and monitoring the premises,

2. The expected timeline for completing any actions listed above.

B. Fee waiver. The vacant or boarded building monitoring program fee may be waived by the City Manager or their designee upon a showing by the owner that:

1. The owner has obtained a building permit and is progressing diligently to repair the premises for occupancy.

2. The building meets all applicable codes and is actively being offered for sale, lease or rent.

3. The City Manager or their designee determines that the building does not contribute to, and is not likely to contribute to blight, because the owner is actively maintaining and monitoring the building so that it does not contribute to blight. Active maintenance and monitoring shall include:
a. Maintenance of landscaping and plant materials in good condition. b. Maintenance of the exterior of the building, including but not limited to paint and finishes, in good condition.
c. Regular removal of all exterior trash, debris, and graffiti. d. Maintenance of the building in continuing compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.
e. Prevention of criminal activity on the premises, including, but not limited to, use and sale of controlled substances, prostitution, and criminal street gang activity.

C. Procedure. The vacant or boarded building monitoring program fee shall be billed to the owner of the property and mailed to the owner’s address as set forth on the last equalized assessment roll of the County Assessor.

Any owner billed may apply for a waiver on the grounds set forth in subsection (B) of this section by submitting a written statement of the grounds for the waiver, and the owner’s daytime telephone number, to the City Manager or their designee within thirty (30) days

CC/LRA – 05/09/2023 & 05/23/2023
CC Ordinance 2023-
after the billing is mailed to the owner. The City Manager or their designee shall review the written statement and may contact the owner to discuss the application for waiver.

The City Manager or their designee shall prepare a written decision which shall be mailed to the owner.

Any owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Manager or their designee relating to an application for waiver may appeal by submitting a written appeal hearing request to the City Clerk within thirty (30) days of receipt of the City Manager or their designee’s decision. The hearing shall be set and conducted pursuant to Sections 99.06 and 99.07 of this Code.

D. Collection. If the monthly fee is not paid within ninety (90) working days after billing, or within sixty (60) days after the decision of the City Manager or their designee or the outcome of an appeal hearing, the fee may be collected through a lien pursuant to Section

99.16 of this Code.

15.150.083 Failure to register for monitoring program.

Failing to register for the vacant or boarded building monitoring program as required in Section 15.150.082 within thirty (30) days of a building becoming vacant or boarded as defined in Section 15.150.081 shall constitute a violation of these provisions subject to administrative penalty.

15.150.084 Notice of violation.

A. Upon a property owner failing to register as required under Section 15.150.081, the City Manager, or their designee shall issue a notice of violation directed to the record owner of the premises. The notice of violation shall contain:

1. The street address and such other description as is required to identify the premises.

2. A statement specifying the conditions which constitute a violation of this Chapter.

3. A statement that administrative penalties may begin to accrue upon the expiration of the thirty (30) day correction period if the property owner does not register for the vacant or boarded building monitoring program. The statement shall state that the thirty (30) day correction period begins on the date of the issuance of the notice of violation. The statement shall identify the date of issuance.

4. A statement that upon registering into the vacant or boarded building monitoring program, the property owner shall be subject to a monthly fee and must submit a rehabilitation plan as specified in Subsection 15.150.082(A).

CC/LRA – 05/09/2023 & 05/23/2023
CC Ordinance 2023-

5. A statement notifying the property owner that he or she may request a hearing within twenty (20) calendar days of the mailing of the notice to dispute the existence of any violation or to show cause why an administrative penalty should not be assessed in accordance with this Code. The statement shall notify the property owner that the thirty (30) day correction period shall be suspended from the date of a request for a hearing until such time as the hearing officer renders a decision.

6. A statement notifying the property owner that he or she may request an extension as provided for in Section 15.150.088.

B. The notice of violation, and any amended or supplemental notice, shall be served either by personal delivery or by return receipt mailing upon the record owner at his or her address as it appears on the latest equalized assessment roll of Stanislaus County, or as known to the City Manager or their designee. A copy of the notice and any amended or supplemental notice shall also be posted on the building.

15.150.085 Permitted time periods to commence and correct violations.

Any owner of a vacant or boarded building in violation of Section 15.150.082 shall register for the vacant or boarded building monitoring program within thirty (30) days of the date of the issuance of the notice of violation. The date of the issuance of the notice of violation shall be the date the notice of violation is mailed to the property owner or posted on the property as provided for in Section 15.150.084, whichever is earlier. Provided the property owner diligently pursues registration into the program, no administrative penalties shall be imposed. In the event the property owner does not request a hearing or correct the violation within thirty (30) days of the date of the issuance of the notice of violation, the City may impose administrative penalties as provided for in Section 15.150.090. In the event the property owner requests a hearing, the thirty (30) day correction period shall be suspended from the date of the request until such time as a decision is rendered. Upon the issuance of a decision, the property owner shall have the balance of the original thirty (30) day period to commence any necessary corrections or repairs before administrative penalties accrue.

15.150.086 Securing vacant buildings.

SUMMARY
The City of Riverbank annually levies and collects special assessments for landscape maintenance, capital improvements, and street lighting. The District is a consolidation of several landscape and lighting districts formed pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). Each of the original districts are identified as benefit zones within the Consolidted District. The various improvements and the expenses associated with each Zone are identified and budgeted independently and are levied annually persuant to the 1972 Act.

Item 9.5-A – CC/LRA 05/23/2023
The Engineer’s Annual Levy Report for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3, Section 22622 of the 1972 Act. The report details the improvements and financial information including the district budgets and proposed annual assessments. The costs of improvements and the annual levy including all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves are assessed to each parcel within the District proportinate to the parcel’s special benefit zones.

Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolutions to initiate proceedings for the annual levy of assessments, declare the City’s intention to levy annual assessments, and preliminary approval of the annual levy report for the Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.

The attached resolutions represent the first of two steps in the annual levy of assessments on the district for fiscal year 2023/2024. A Public Hearing to consider adoption of the report and annual levy of assessents is scheduled for June 13, 2023.

STRATEGIC PLAN
This is directly related to the City’s Strategic Plan, which can be found at www.riverbank.org.

FISCAL IMPACT
The annual assessments for the Consolidated Districts all increased except for Zone 2 – Courtney Estates (this district just has street lighting). The annual increase for the other districts will cover the maintenance costs in the new Grover Landscaping Contract, and help cover tree trimming and unforeseen irrigation repairs.

FY 22/23 FY 23/24 Change
Zone 2 - Courtney Estates $ 25.50 $ 25.50 $ 0.00
Zone 3 - South Bend Estates $ 82.14 $ 94.46 $12.32
Zone 5 - Elmwood Estates $ 25.46 $ 26.22 $ .76
Zone 6 - Chianti $ 61.06 $122.12 $61.06
Zone 7 - Sterling Ridge $137.83 $141.98 $ 4.15
Zone 8 - Eastwood Estates $ 90.64 $135.96 $45.32
Costs for the district are paid through assessments upon property owners within the District; hence, there is no fiscal impact to the City.

PART I - OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Riverbank (“City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain the improvements within the Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting District (“District”). The District is a consolidation of several landscape and lighting districts formed pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”). Each of the original districts is identified as benefit zones (“Zones”) within the Consolidated District. The various improvements and the expenses associated with each Zone are identified and budgeted independently and are levied annually pursuant to the 1972 Act.

This Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (“Report”) has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3, Section 22622 of the 1972 Act. This Report describes the District, all Zones and improvements therein, any annexations or other modifications to the District including any substantial changes to the improvements, the method of apportionment, the boundaries of the District, and financial information including the district budgets and proposed annual assessments for Fiscal Year 2023/2024. The proposed assessments are based on the historic and estimated costs to maintain the improvements that provide a direct and special benefit to properties within the District. The costs of improvements and the annual levy for each Zone include all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements provided and for which the parcel receives special benefits.

For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Number by the County of Stanislaus Assessor’s Office. The County of Stanislaus Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific fund numbers to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments on the tax roll.

Pursuant to Chapter 3, beginning with Section 22620 of the 1972 Act the City Council shall conduct a noticed annual public hearing to consider all public comments and written protests regarding the District. Following the annual public hearing and review of the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments contained therein, the City Council will by resolution: order the improvements to be made and confirm the levy and collection of assessments pursuant to Chapter 4, Article 1, beginning with Section 22640 of the 1972 Act. The assessment rates and method of apportionment described in this Report as approved or modified by the City Council defines the assessments to be applied to each parcel within the District for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.

The assessments as approved will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller to be included on the property tax roll for each parcel within the District and respective Zones.

If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Consolidated Lighting and Landscape District Page 2 of 28 parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rates contained in this Report as approved by the City Council.

B. APPLICABLE LEGISLATION
The District and the Zones therein have been formed and are annually levied pursuant to the 1972 Act, beginning with Section 22500. The assessments and methods of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received.

Compliance with the California Constitution
All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (enacted by the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996).

Pursuant to the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 5, certain assessments that were existing on July 1, 1997, the effective date of Article XIIID, are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 and property owner balloting for the assessments is not required until such time that the assessments are increased. Specifically, the City determined that the improvements and the annual assessment for each of the Zones within the Consolidated District were part of the conditions of property development and approved by the original property owner (developer). As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b), all the property owners approved the existing District assessments at the time the assessments were created (originally imposed pursuant to a 100% landowner petition). Therefore, the pre-existing assessment amounts (the maximum assessments identified in this Report) are exempt from the procedural requirements Article XIIID Section 4.

The proposed assessment for the current fiscal year may be less than or equal to the maximum assessment rate previously approved and adopted for the District. Any proposed assessment that exceeds the adjusted maximum assessment rate is considered an increased assessment. Although the current maximum assessment for each Zone within the District is identified as an exempt assessment pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b), it is recognized that these assessments may not be sufficient to cover the annual cost of providing the improvements in the future. In such cases, the revenue shortfall maybe funded by other revenue sources or an assessment increase may be proposed. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIID, all new or increased assessments (the incremental increase) are subject to both the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4, including a property owner protest proceeding (property owner assessment balloting).

City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Consolidated Lighting and Landscape District Page 4 of 28  Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement.  Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury.  The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste.  The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

PART II - PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the continued maintenance and operation of landscaping and/or street lighting, and related services within the public right-of-ways for specific developments within the City.

The District is comprised of specific developments (residential tracts) that were originally formed as separate 1972 Act districts. The districts were formed to ensure the ongoing maintenance of local landscaping and lighting improvements associated with the residential subdivisions and installed as part of the development of properties within those subdivisions. These districts were later consolidated into this single District pursuant to Chapter 2 Article 2 Section 22605 (d) of the 1972 Act, with each of the original districts being identified as a Zone. Each of the Zones includes parcels that are associated with specific improvements and services that provide a special benefit to the properties. The total cost of providing the improvements within each Zone are equitably spread among only the benefiting parcels.

A. CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE DISTRICT
Modifications to the District structure could include but are not limited to:
 Substantial changes or expansion of the improvements provided;  Substantial changes in the service provided;
 Modifications or restructuring of the District or Zones including annexation or detachment of Zones or specific parcels;
 Revisions in the method of apportionment;
 Proposed new or increased assessments.

In Fiscal Year 2000/01, Zone 1 (Avery Estates) and Zone 4 (Sierra Vista Estates Unit 2) were detached from the Consolidated District.
 Zone 1 was initially established within the District to provide landscaping and lighting improvements within a planned residential development known as Avery Estates. This development was to include a small eleven-unit residential City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Consolidated Lighting and Landscape District Page 5 of 28 subdivision generally located south of Townsend Avenue and east of Terminal Avenue, directly south and adjacent to Reich Lane. This residential subdivision was not developed and the proposed improvements to be installed never materialized. The tentative tract map for this subdivision has expired and therefore the Zone was detached from the District.
 Zone 4 was initially established within the District to provide landscaping and lighting improvements including street lighting, a drainage pond, and fencing within the development known as Sierra Vista Estates Unit 2. This development was to include a small ten-unit residential subdivision generally located south of Reich Lane, east of Terminal Avenue, north of Van Dusen Avenue, and west of Claus Road. This original residential subdivision was not completed as planned and only the street lighting improvements had been installed. On February 14, 2000, the City formed Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2000-01 (Sierra Vista Estates) that incorporated the original Sierra Vista Estates Unit 2 (Zone 4) as well as other properties. Concurrently with the formation of this new 1972 Act district, Zone 4 was detached from the Consolidated District.

In Fiscal Year 2005/06, three zones were added, Zone 6 (Chianti), Zone 7 (Sterling Ridge) and Zone 8 (Eastwood Estates).
 Zone 6 - The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of median landscaping, certain perimeter landscaping, and street lighting improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District known as the Chianti Subdivision.
 Zone 7 - The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of median landscaping, certain perimeter landscaping, and street lighting improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District known as Sterling Ridge.
 Zone 8 - The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of median landscaping, certain perimeter landscaping, and street lighting improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District known as Eastwood Estates.

In Fiscal Year 2011/12, 86 parcels in Elmwood Estates Unit 2 were added to Zone 5.  Elmwood Estates Unit 2 — This residential tract encompasses an area located generally east of Roselle Avenue and north of the M.I.D. Main Canal at Rosebrook Drive and includes eighty-six (86) single-family residential lots. The parcels within this development are identified by the Stanislaus County Assessor’s Office as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 075-095-001-000 through 075-095-086-000. This development provides funding for the perimeter parkway landscaping and street lighting associated with the development.

2023/2024 Consolidated Lighting and Landscape District Page 6 of 28 B. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES Each Zone within the District consists of properties, subdivisions and developments that are clearly associated with the improvements maintained by the District. The parcels assessed for special benefits are all part of a development or subdivision that originally installed the improvements or are directly associated with the improvements by proximity and receive special benefits from those improvements.

The improvements within each Zone vary, but include specific street lighting facilities and/or landscaped areas associated with the properties within each Zone. The Improvements may include but are not limited to:
 Landscape improvements within the parkways, entryways and other public rightof-ways or open space areas including street trees, turf, ground cover, shrubs, irrigation and drainage systems, entry monuments, and block walls or other fencing.
 Street lighting improvements within or adjacent to the subdivisions and developments including electrical costs, maintenance, repair and replacement of the poles, lights, wires or other equipment associated with the street lights.  Any appurtenant facilities, services or improvements directly associated with any of the foregoing improvements including incidental expenses.

All improvements within the District are maintained and serviced on a regular basis. The frequency and specific maintenance operations required within the District and each Zone are determined by City staff. The District assessments fund all necessary utilities, operations, services, administration and maintenance costs associated with the improvements. The annual costs of providing the improvements within each Zone are spread among all benefiting parcels in proportion to the benefits received. Only parcels that receive special benefits from the services and improvements are assessed. The expenditures and assessments set forth in this report are based upon the City’s estimate of the costs associated with the improvements in each Zone including all labor, personnel, equipment, materials and administrative expenses.

PART III - METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments in each Zone of the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.

In addition, pursuant to the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4 (with some exceptions), a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel and provides that only special benefits are assessable and the District must separate the general benefits from the special benefits.

B. BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements and their associated costs have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on special benefits received from the improvements. The installation of the improvements and approval of an annual assessment were part of the conditions of property development and approved by the original property owner (developer). As such, pursuant to the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 5(b), the maximum assessment amounts identified in this Report were approved by all the property owners at the time the assessments were created (originally imposed pursuant to a 100% landowner petition). Therefore the existing assessment amount for each Zone is not subject to the procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 (property owner ballot proceedings). Although the current assessments do not require additional property owner approval, the improvements within each Zone clearly provide a special benefit to the parcels assessed and therefore, the existing assessments are in compliance with the substantive requirements of Article XIIID Section 4.

Special Benefits — The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District and Zones receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments.

Specifically, the assessments associated with each Zone are for the maintenance of local landscaping and/or street lighting within the Zones. The desirability and security of City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Consolidated Lighting and Landscape District Page 11 of 28 properties within each Zone are enhanced by the presence of street lighting and wellmaintained landscaping in close proximity to those properties.

The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
 Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements.  Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the Zones providing a positive representation of the area.
 Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.
 Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, and dust and debris control.
 Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties.  Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti.
 Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels within the Zones by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.

The special benefits of street lighting are the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:
 Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection.  Increased nighttime safety on roads and highways.
 Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see.  Improved ingress and egress to property.
 Reduced vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements or property.
 Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.
 Increased promotion of business during nighttime hours in the case of commercial properties.

All of the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District.

City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Consolidated Lighting and Landscape District Page 12 of 28 General Benefits – The Zone improvements to be provided and maintained by the District are a direct result of property development within the Zones and would otherwise not be required or necessary. Developers typically install local improvements to enhance the marketability and value of properties within the development and/or as conditions of development. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the Zone properties being developed and not for the benefit of surrounding properties outside the District boundaries. Although the Zone improvements (by virtue of their location) may be visible to surrounding properties, any benefit to surrounding properties is incidental and cannot be considered a direct and special benefit. Furthermore, most developments within the City typically have various landscaping and lighting improvements specifically associated with their development and these improvements are funded by properties within those developments. Therefore, it has been determined that the Zone improvements and the on-going operation and maintenance of those improvements provide no identifiable or measurable general benefit to properties outside the District Zones or to the public at large.

C. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Equivalent Dwelling Units: To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to correlate the different type of parcels within the District to each other as well as their relationship to the improvements. The Equivalent Dwelling Unit method of apportioning benefit is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are typically apportioned as a function of land use type, size and development.

The Equivalent Dwelling Unit method of assessment apportionment uses the single family home site as the basic unit of assessment. A single family home site equals one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). Every other land use is converted to EDU’s based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home site. Although the EDU method of apportionment is an appropriate method of calculating each parcel’s benefit and assessment, it should be noted that all properties within this District are identified as single family home sites and therefore benefit equally from the improvements provided in each respective Zone. Therefore, each parcel is assigned 1.0 EDU and the costs associated with each Zone are actually spread equally among all benefiting parcels within that Zone.

The following formulas are used to calculate the annual assessments for each Zone. The Balance to Levy represents the total amount to be collected through the annual assessments. The Levy Per EDU (Assessment Rate) is the result of dividing the total Balance to Levy by the Total EDU. This Assessment Rate multiplied by each parcel’s individual EDU determines each parcel’s levy amount. This process and formulas are applied separately to each Zone.

For Zone 6 Chianti, Zone 7 Sterling Ridge, and Zone 8 Eastwood Estates, the Maximum Assessment is equal to the Initial Assessment approved by property owners adjusted annually by the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Area for All Urban Consumers. Beginning in the second City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Consolidated Lighting and Landscape District Page 13 of 28 fiscal year of the District and each fiscal year thereafter, the Maximum Assessment will be recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment established. The CPI used to calculate the Maximum Assessment for FY 2023/24 is 5.30%.

Total Balance to Levy / Total EDU in Zone = Levy per EDU (Assessment Rate) Assessment Rate x Parcel’s EDU = Parcel’s Levy Amount
Or more simply stated, since all Zone parcels are 1 EDU:

Total Balance to Levy / Total Assessable Parcels in Zone = Parcel Levy Amount

Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the Stanislaus County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared.

A listing of parcels assessed within this District, along with the assessment amounts, is included on the following pages. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-ways including public greenbelts and parkways; utility right-of-ways; common areas; landlocked parcels, small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots, and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions.

These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following Resolutions to initiate proceedings for the annual levy of assessments, declare the City’s intention to levy annual assessments, and preliminary approval of the annual levy report for the Ridgewood Place Landscape and Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.

SUMMARY
The City of Riverbank annually levies and collects special assessments for landscape maintenance, capital improvements, and street lighting. The District was formed in 1998 and is levied annually pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). The District assessments were approved by the property owners of record through a protest ballot proceeding at the time the District was formed in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”).

Item 9.5-B – CC/LRA 05/23/2023
The Engineer’s Annual Levy Report for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3, Section 22622 of the 1972 Act. The report details the improvements and financial information including the district budgets and proposed annual assessments. The costs of improvements and the annual levy including all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves are assessed to each parcel within the District proportinate to the parcel’s special benefits. The attached resolutions represent the first of two steps in the annual levy of assessments on the district for fiscal year 2023/2024. A Public Hearing to consider adoption of the report and annual levy of assessents is scheduled for June 13, 2023.

Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolutions to initiate proceedings for the annual levy of assessments, declare the City’s intention to levy annual assessments, and preliminary approval of the annual levy report for the Ridgewood Place Landscape and Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.

STRATEGIC PLAN
This is directly related to the City’s Strategic Plan, which can be found at www.riverbank.org.

FISCAL IMPACT
The annual assessments for Ridgewood will increase by $92.58 annually to cover the increased maintenance costs in the new Grover Landscaping Contract, which increased from $600 annually to $2,880. The increase will also help cover tree trimming and unforeseen irrigation repairs.

The annual assessments for parcels in the Ridgewood Place Landscape and Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 are as follows:

FY 22/23 FY 23/24 Change in Assessment
Annual Parcel Assessments $92.58 $185.16 $92.58
Costs for the district are paid through assessments upon property owners within the District; hence, there is no fiscal impact to the City.

PART I - OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Riverbank (“City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain the improvements within the Ridgewood Place Landscape and Lighting District (“District”). The District was formed in 1998 and is annually levied pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). The District assessments were approved by the property owners of record through a protest ballot proceeding at the time the District was formed in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”).

This Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (“Report”) has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3, Section 22622 of the 1972 Act. This Report describes the District, the improvements therein, any annexations or other modifications to the District including any substantial changes to the improvements, the method of apportionment, the boundaries of the District, and financial information including the district budgets and proposed annual assessments for Fiscal Year 2023/2024. The proposed assessments are based on the historic and estimated costs to maintain the improvements that provide a direct and special benefit to properties within the District. The costs of improvements and the annual levy including all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves are assessed to each parcel within the District proportionate to the parcel’s special benefits.

For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Number by the County of Stanislaus Assessor’s Office. The County of Stanislaus Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific fund numbers to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments on the tax roll.

Pursuant to Chapter 3, beginning with Section 22620 of the 1972 Act, the City Council shall conduct a noticed annual public hearing to consider all public comments and written protests regarding the District. Following the annual public hearing and review of the Report, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments contained therein, the City Council will, by resolution, order the improvements to be made and confirm the levy and collection of assessments pursuant to Chapter 4, Article 1, and beginning with Section 22640 of the 1972 Act. The assessment rate and method of apportionment described in this Report as approved or modified by the City Council defines the assessments to be applied to each parcel within the District for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.

The assessments as approved will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller to be included on the property tax roll for each parcel within the District. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Ridgewood Place Landscaping & Lighting District Page 2 of 15 identified and resubmitted to the County. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate contained in this Report as approved by the City Council.

B. APPLICABLE LEGISLATION
The District has been formed and is annually levied pursuant to the 1972 Act, beginning with Section 22500. The assessments and methods of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received.

Compliance with the Current Legislation
All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the Article XIIID, which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996.

This District was formed after the passage of Proposition 218 and the assessments contained herein were established and approved pursuant to the provisions of the Article XIIID Section 4. Specifically, parcels within the District are assessed for only the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on those parcels pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4 (a); and the assessments and assessment range formula described in this report were approved by the property owners at the time of formation through a property owner protest ballot proceeding pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4 (c, d & e).

Briefly, the assessment range formula states that the assessment initially approved by the property owners may be increased each year by the greater of 3.0% or the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) to establish an adjusted maximum assessment each year. This adjusted maximum assessment is calculated independently from the actual assessment approved each fiscal year. The proposed assessment for the current fiscal year may be less than or equal to the maximum assessment rate previously approved and adopted for the District. Any proposed assessment that exceeds the adjusted maximum assessment rate is considered an increased assessment.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Article XIIID, all new or increased assessments (the incremental increase) are subject to both the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4, including a property owner protest proceeding (property owner assessment balloting).

2023/2024 Ridgewood Place Landscaping & Lighting District Page 4 of 15  Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement.  Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury.  The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste.  The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

D. DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
The improvements providing benefit to parcels within the District include specific street lighting facilities and landscaped areas originally installed as part of this residential development. The improvements maintained and serviced include five street lights and approximately 583 linear feet of parkway landscaping and any appurtenant facilities, services or improvements directly associated with these improvements including incidental expenses.

The street lighting improvements may include electrical costs, maintenance, repair and replacement of the poles, lights, wires or other equipment associated with the street lights. The street lights are identified as:
 Two street lights located on the perimeter of the development on the west side of Roselle Avenue, one north end of the subdivision and the other south of Soares Place.
 The remaining three street lights are located within the residential subdivision on Soares Place.

The landscape improvements may include street trees, turf, ground cover, shrubs, irrigation and drainage systems, entry monuments, and block walls or other fencing. The landscaped areas are within the public right-of-ways and encompass the parkway landscaped areas the entire length of the Ridgewood Place subdivision along of Roselle Avenue. The landscaped areas are identified as:
 Approximately 213 linear feet of parkway landscaping adjacent to the subdivision along the west side of Roselle Avenue and north of Soares Place.  Approximately 370 linear feet of parkway landscaping adjacent to the subdivision along the west side of Roselle Avenue and south of Soares Place.

All improvements within the District are maintained and serviced on a regular basis. City staff will determine the frequency and specific maintenance operations required. The District assessments fund all necessary utilities, operations, services, administration and maintenance costs associated with the improvements. The annual cost of providing the improvements within the District is spread among all benefiting parcels in proportion to the benefits received. The expenditures and assessments set forth in this report are based upon the City’s estimate of the costs associated with the improvements including all labor, personnel, equipment, materials and administrative expenses.

PART II - PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the continued maintenance and operation of landscaping, street lighting and related services and improvements within the public right-of-ways for the benefit of parcels and properties within the development known as Ridgewood Place within the City.

The District is comprised of a single residential development consisting of twenty-three (23) single-family residential parcels. The district was formed to ensure the ongoing maintenance of local landscaping and lighting improvements associated with this residential subdivision and installed as part of the development of properties within the subdivision. The annual cost and expenses of providing the improvements are equitably spread among only the benefiting parcels within the District.

E. CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE DISTRICT
Modifications to the District structure could include but are not limited to:
 Substantial changes or expansion of the improvements provided;  Substantial changes in the service provided;
 Modifications or restructuring of the District or Zones including annexation or detachment of Zones or specific parcels;
 Revisions in the method of apportionment;
 Proposed new or increased assessments.

Some changes or modifications to the District would require the approval of the property owners within the District. No changes or modifications to the District are proposed for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.

F. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
The District is located generally on the West Side of Roselle Avenue, north of Morrill Road and south of Turpin Avenue at Soares Place. The District includes twenty-three single family residential parcels within the subdivision known as Ridgewood Place, identified on Book 132 Page 63 parcels 43 through 65 of the Stanislaus County Assessor’s Parcel Maps.

PART III - METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:

City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Ridgewood Place Landscaping & Lighting District Page 6 of 15 “The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.

In addition, pursuant to the Article XIIID Section 4, a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel and provides that only special benefits are assessable and the District must separate the general benefits from the special benefits.

B. BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements and the associated costs has been carefully reviewed and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on special benefits received from the improvements. The installation of the improvements was part of the conditions of property development. The property owners approved the corresponding assessments for the ongoing maintenance of the improvements at the time of formation through a property owner protest ballot proceeding pursuant to the Article XIIID Section 4.

Special Benefits — The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments. Specifically, the assessments are for the maintenance of local street lighting and landscaped improvements installed as part of the original. The desirability and security of properties within the District are enhanced by the presence of street lighting and well-maintained landscaping in close proximity to those properties.

The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
 Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements;  Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the Zones providing a positive representation of the area;
 Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping;
 Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance and dust and debris control;
 Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties; City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Ridgewood Place Landscaping & Lighting District Page 7 of 15  Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti;
 Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels within the Zones by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.

The special benefits of street lighting are the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:
 Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection;  Increased nighttime safety on roads and highways;
 Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see;  Improved ingress and egress to property;
 Reduced vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements or property;
 Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss;
 Increased promotion of business during nighttime hours in the case of commercial properties.

All of the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District.

General Benefits - The improvements to be provided and maintained by the District are a direct result of property development within the District and would otherwise not be required or necessary. Developers typically install local improvements to enhance the marketability and value of properties within the development and/or as conditions of development. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the properties being developed and not for the benefit of surrounding properties outside the District boundaries. Although local development improvements (by virtue of their location) may be visible to surrounding properties, any benefit to surrounding properties is incidental and cannot be considered a direct and special benefit. Furthermore, most developments within the City typically have various landscaping and lighting improvements specifically associated with their development and these improvements are funded by properties within those developments. Therefore, it has been determined that the District improvements and the on-going operation and maintenance of those improvements provide no identifiable or measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large.

C. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Equivalent Dwelling Units: To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to correlate the different type of parcels within the District to each other as well as their relationship to the improvements. The Equivalent Dwelling Unit method of apportioning benefit is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Ridgewood Place Landscaping & Lighting District Page 8 of 15 under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are typically apportioned as a function of land use type, size and development.

The Equivalent Dwelling Unit method of assessment apportionment uses the single family home site as the basic unit of assessment. A single family home site equals one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”). Every other land use is typically converted to EDUs based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to a single family home site. Although the EDU method of apportionment is an appropriate method of calculating each parcel’s benefit, it should be noted that all properties within this District are identified as single family home sites and therefore benefit equally with each parcel assigned 1.0 EDU.

The following formulas are used to calculate the annual assessments. The Balance to Levy represents the total amount to be collected through the annual assessments. The Levy per EDU (Assessment Rate) is the result of dividing the total Balance to Levy by the total District EDU. This Assessment Rate multiplied by each parcel’s individual EDU determines each parcel’s levy amount.

Total Balance to Levy / Total EDU = Levy per EDU (also called Assessment Rate) Assessment Rate x Parcel’s EDU = Parcel Levy Amount
Or more simply stated, since all District parcels are 1 EDU:

Total Balance to Levy / Total Assessable Parcels in Zone = Parcel Levy Amount D. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Any new or increased assessments require voting, certain noticing, and meeting requirements. Article XIIID added specific requirements including an assessment ballot and weighted tabulation of the ballots to determine if majority protest exists at the Public Hearing. In Fiscal Year 1993/1994 the Brown Act (Government Code Section 54954.6(o)) changed the definition of the term “new or increased assessment” to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included “any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency and approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed.” This definition for a new or increased assessment was also addressed in Senate Bill 919 (the Proposition 218 implementation statutes)
An assessment range formula was proposed and approved for the assessments when the District was formed in Fiscal Year 1998/1999 and is to be applied to all future assessments within the District.

The following describes the proposed assessment range formula:

Wherein, if the proposed assessment rate for each classification of property (levy per unit or rate) for the current fiscal year is less than or equal to the prior year's maximum City of Riverbank
2023/2024 Ridgewood Place Landscaping & Lighting District Page 9 of 15 assessment plus the adjustments described in the following, then the new assessment is not considered an increased assessment. The purpose of establishing an assessment range formula is to provide for reasonable inflationary adjustment to the assessment amounts without requiring costly noticing, balloting, and mailing procedures, which would be added to the District costs and assessments.

Beginning in Fiscal Year 1999/2000, the maximum assessment may be adjusted by the greater of three percent (3.0%) or the percentage increase in the CPI. Each year the City shall compute the percentage difference between the CPI on December 31 of each year and the CPI for the previous December 31 as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the San Francisco Oakland Hayward Area. This percentage difference shall then establish the range of increased assessments allowed based on the CPI. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.

The Maximum Assessment for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 is $517.18 which is an increase of

4.88% from prior year’s maximum assessment. However, a rate of $185.16 per EDU will only be levied this year.

The following table illustrates how the assessment range formula is applied. This year, a

4.88% CPI increase is applied since it is greater than a 3.00% increase.

The fact that an assessment range formula is adopted for District assessments does not require that the adjustment maximum assessment be applied each year nor does it restrict the assessments to the adjusted amount. If the budget and assessments for the District do not require an increase or the increase is less than the maximum allowable adjustment, then the required budget and assessment shall be applied. If the budget and proposed assessments require an increase greater than the maximum allowable adjustment, then the proposed assessment is considered an increased assessment and mailed notices and ballots to the property owners would be required pursuant to the Article XIIID Section 4c.

The original assessment diagrams and tract maps for the District were previously approved and submitted to the City in the format required by the 1972 Act. These diagrams are on file in the Office of the City Clerk and by reference are made part of this Report.

The boundaries for the District are contiguous with the boundaries of the Ridgewood Place subdivision and defined as the corresponding parcels identified on the Stanislaus County Assessor’s Map. The parcel identification, lines, and dimensions of each parcel within the District are those lines and dimensions shown on the Stanislaus County Assessor’s Map of for the year in which this Report was prepared and by reference are incorporated and made part of this Report.

Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the Stanislaus County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared.

A listing of parcels assessed within this District, along with the assessment amounts, is listed below. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-ways including public greenbelts and parkways; utility right-of-ways; common areas; landlocked parcels, small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots, and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions.

These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERBANK,

CALIFORNIA, INITIATING PROCEEDINGS FOR THE ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS FOR THE LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1 RIVER COVE SUBDIVISION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023/2024

2023/2024 River Cove Landscaping & Lighting District Page 1 of 26 PART I – OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Riverbank (“City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain the improvements within the River Cove Landscaping and Lighting District (“District”). The District was formed in 1993 and is annually levied pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). The District included all parcels within the residential development known as the River Cove subdivision and was previously referred to as the Riverbank Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1. The overall District improvements to be maintained at build out and a maximum assessment for those improvements were approved by the property owners of record when the District was formed.

This Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (“Report”) has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3, Section 22622 of the 1972 Act. This Report describes the District, the improvements therein, any annexations or other modifications to the District including any substantial changes to the improvements, the method of apportionment, the boundaries of the District, and financial information including the district budgets and proposed annual assessments for Fiscal Year 2023/2024. The proposed assessments are based on the historic and estimated costs to maintain the improvements that provide a direct and special benefit to properties within the District. The costs of improvements and the annual levy including all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves are assessed to each parcel within the District proportionate to the parcel’s special benefits.

For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Number by the County of Stanislaus Assessor’s Office. The County of Stanislaus Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific fund numbers to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments on the tax roll.

Pursuant to Chapter 3, beginning with Section 22620 of the 1972 Act the City Council shall conduct a noticed annual public hearing to consider all public comments and written protests regarding the District. Following the annual public hearing and review of the Report, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments contained therein, the City Council will, by resolution, order the improvements to be made and confirm the levy and collection of assessments pursuant to Chapter 4, Article 1, and beginning with Section 22640 of the 1972 Act. The assessment rate and method of apportionment described in this Report, as approved or modified by the City Council, defines the assessments to be applied to each parcel within the District for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.

The assessments as approved will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller to be included on the property tax roll for each parcel within the District. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be City of Riverbank
2023/2024 River Cove Landscaping & Lighting District Page 2 of 26 identified and resubmitted to the County. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate contained in this Report as approved by the City Council.

B. APPLICABLE LEGISLATION
The District has been formed and is annually levied pursuant to the 1972 Act, beginning with Section 22500. The assessments and methods of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received.

Compliance with the California Constitution
All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996.

Pursuant to the Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 and property owner balloting for the assessments is not required until such time that the assessments are increased. Specifically, the City determined that all improvements and the annual assessments originally established for the District were part of the conditions of property development and approved by the original property owner (developer at the time of the District formation in 1993). As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b), all the property owners approved the existing District assessments at the time the assessments were created (originally imposed pursuant to a 100% landowner petition). Therefore, the preexisting assessment amount (the maximum assessment rate identified in this Report) is exempt from the procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4.

The current maximum assessment rate of $196.90 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit was originally approved by the property owners (developer) and any assessment amount less than that amount is considered an exempt assessment pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b). The proposed assessment for any fiscal year may be increased over the previous fiscal year provided the assessment rate does not exceed the maximum assessment rate of $196.90 adopted and levied in fiscal year 1993/1994. Pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID, all new or increased assessments (the incremental increase) are subject to both the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4, including a property owner protest proceeding (property owner assessment balloting).

City staff will determine the frequency and specific maintenance operations required. The District assessments may fund all necessary utilities, operations, services, administration and maintenance costs associated with the improvements. The annual cost of providing the improvements within the District is spread among all benefiting parcels in proportion to the benefits received. The expenditures and assessments set forth in this Report are based upon the City’s estimate of the costs associated with the improvements including all labor, personnel, equipment, materials and administrative expenses.

The park area within the District is clearly a special benefit to the properties and property owners within the District. Because of the Park’s size and location it provides no benefit to parcels outside the District or to the public at large and therefore the entire cost of City of Riverbank
2023/2024 River Cove Landscaping & Lighting District Page 8 of 26 maintaining this park could be assessed to parcels within the District. However, the City currently funds the maintenance of all parks within the City of Riverbank from the General Fund. Therefore, the District budget includes a General Fund Contribution to offset the costs associated with maintaining the Park area.

PART III — METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, which include the construction, maintenance, and servicing of public lights, landscaping, parks, open space areas and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating all assessments for this District reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on benefit to each parcel.

In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4, a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel and provides that only special benefits are assessable and the District must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. The general benefit portion of the improvement costs have been estimated by the City and are shown as a General Benefit Contribution in the District Budget section of this Report.

B. BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements and their associated costs has been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on special benefits received from the improvements. The installation of the improvements and approval of an annual assessment were part of the conditions of property development and approved by the original property owner (developer). As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5b, all the property owners approved the maximum assessment amount identified in this Report at the time the assessment was created (originally imposed pursuant to a 100% landowner petition). Therefore the existing maximum assessment amount of $196.90 is not subject to the procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 (property owner ballot proceedings). Although the current assessment does not require additional property owner approval (unless increased), the improvements within the District clearly provide a special benefit to the parcels assessed and therefore, the existing assessments are in compliance with the substantive requirements of Article XIIID Section 4.

City of Riverbank
2023/2024 River Cove Landscaping & Lighting District Page 9 of 26 Special Benefits — The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments. Specifically, the assessments are for the maintenance of local street lighting and landscaped improvements installed as part of the original improvement. The desirability and security of properties within the District are enhanced by the presence of street lighting and well-maintained landscaping in close proximity to those properties.

The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
 Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements;  Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the Zones providing a positive representation of the area;
 Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping;
 Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, and dust and debris control;
 Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties;  Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti;
 Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels within the Zones by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.

The special benefits of street lighting are the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:
 Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection;  Increased nighttime safety on roads and highways;
 Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see;  Improved ingress and egress to property;
 Reduced vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements or property;
 Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss;
City of Riverbank
2023/2024 River Cove Landscaping & Lighting District Page 10 of 26  Increased promotion of business during nighttime hours in the case of commercial properties;
All of the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District.

C. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Equivalent Dwelling Units: To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to correlate the different type of parcels within the District to each other as well as their relationship to the improvements. The Equivalent Dwelling Unit method of apportioning benefit is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are typically apportioned as a function of land use type, size and development.

The Equivalent Dwelling Unit method of assessment apportionment uses the single-family home site as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home site equals one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”). Every other land use is typically converted to EDU based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home site. Although the EDU method of apportionment is an appropriate method of calculating each parcel’s benefit, it should be noted that all properties within this District are identified as single-family home sites and therefore benefit equally with each parcel assigned 1.0 EDU.

The following formulas are used to calculate the annual assessments. The Balance to Levy represents the total amount to be collected through the annual assessments. The Levy per EDU (Assessment Rate) is the result of dividing the total Balance to Levy by the total District EDU. This Assessment Rate multiplied by each parcel’s individual EDU determines each parcel’s levy amount.

Total Balance to Levy / Total EDU = Levy per EDU (also called Assessment Rate) Assessment Rate x Parcel’s EDU = Parcel’s Levy Amount
Or more simply stated, since all District parcels are 1 EDU:

Total Balance to Levy / Total Assessable Parcels in Zone = Parcel Levy Amount City of Riverbank

The original assessment diagrams and tract maps for the District were previously approved and submitted to the City in the format required by the 1972 Act. These diagrams are on file in the Office of the City Clerk and by reference are made part of this Report.

The boundaries for the District are contiguous with the boundaries of the River Cove subdivision and defined as the corresponding parcels identified on the Stanislaus County Assessor’s Map. The parcel identification, lines, and dimensions of each parcel within the District are those lines and dimensions shown on the Stanislaus County Assessor’s Map for the year in which this Report was prepared and by reference are incorporated and made part of this Report.

The following pages are reproductions of the County Assessor’s Parcel Map associated with the District.

Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the Stanislaus County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared.

A listing of parcels assessed within this District, along with the assessment amounts, is included on the following pages. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and right-of-ways including public greenbelts and parkways; utility right-of-ways; common areas; landlocked parcels, small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots, and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions.

These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment.
