Section 1. - Authority for Report
Pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, said act being Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code as amended commencing wit h Section 22500 of the State of California, and the provisions of Proposition 218, and in accordance wi th Resolution No. 23826, adopted by the City Counci l of the City of Riverside, California, ordering preparation of the Engineer’s Report for Street Lighting District No. 1.
Section 2. - General Description
The City Council of the City of Riverside, California, has considered the benefits received by residents and property owners in the City from street lighting facilities and services. The City Council ordered the preparat ion of an Engineer’s Report including assessment diagram, boundary map, resolutions, cost estimates, assessment roll, and necessary accompanying work, and held a public hearing to consider the formation of Street Lighting District No.
1. The boundaries of proposed Street Lighting Distr ict No. 1 included the entire territory within the corporate boundaries of the City of Riverside, California (the "City"), as they existed on September 1, 1987, and as shown on the map entitled “Proposed Boundary of Street Lighting District No. 1, City of Riverside, County of Riverside, State of California”, which is on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Riverside.
Upon the conclusion of the public hearing held on J uly 26, 1988, the City Council adopted their Resolu tion No. 16873 which confirmed the formation of Street Light ing District No. 1. Since formation of the Street L ighting District, the City of Riverside has authorized annexations of property to the City. The parcels within the annexation areas are included in this Report.
Section 3. - Plans and Specifications
The majority of the existing streetlight improvemen ts are owned by the City of Riverside Public Utilit ies Department. Lighting at freeway ramp intersections with local streets are owned either by the State of California Department of Transportation or the City of Riverside. Facilities owned by the State Department of Transportation were constructed in accordance with plans and speci fications on file with the State of California. Wit h few exceptions, plans and specifications for street lig hting facilities constructed by either private deve lopers as a condition of approval of development projects or the City of Riverside are on file in the Public Utilities Department, Electrical Division. Reference is hereby made to sa id plans and specifications and they are by referen ce made a part of this report.
Section 4. - Existing Improvements
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 allows lev ying of benefit assessments for the construction of improvements in addition to maintenance and operati on of existing facilities. Assessments are not prop osed to be levied under Street Lighting District No. 1 to fund the installation of streetlights during the 2022-23 Fiscal Year.
There are a wide variety of streetlight luminaries in the City of Riverside. They range from the common mast arm light to the ornamental lantern, raincross, or othe r shapes. The illuminating unit can be incandescent , high- pressure sodium vapor, mercury vapor, or light-emitting diode (LED).
The wattage for the luminaries varies depending upo n the land use and classification of roadway. In re sidential areas, the lights are primarily 175-watt mercury vapor, 70 or 100-watt high-pressure sodium vapor, or LED. These lights are the mast arm type, either mounted on orn amental standards or, in some instances, on wooden poles.
In addition to the mast arm lights there are severa l others with the second most common being a black lantern type of either a 175-watt mercury vapor or 100-watt high-pressure sodium vapor.
City of Riverside’s commercial areas are primarily along the major streets such as Iowa, University, Magnolia, and Arlington Avenues and the “Presidential” streets. T hese streets have primarily 200-watt high-pressure sodium vapor luminaries with some 100-watt high-pressure s odium vapor luminaries. In some instances, such as on Magnolia Avenue, there are double mast arm standards with two 200-watt lights.
City of Riverside Street Lighting Assessment District No. 1 Annual Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 202 2-23 2
Fin
An inventory of existing lights was prepared prior to forming the District. This inventory is typicall y updated annually by a summary of changes by the City Public Utilities Department Staff for use in determining the current year’s assessments. The Annual Engineer’s Assessment Report for Street Lighting District No. 1 uses a summary of installed and removed streetlights to assess the co sts of the lights for the benefiting properties. To improve efficiencies and reduce costs, the streetlights in the City are currently being retrofitted, changing from high- pressure sodium vapor (HPS) to light-emitting diode s (LED). As a result of this project, lighting coun ts are being reassessed, and the counts from the prior year’s engineer’s report have been used to estimate costs in this report.
This project is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2022, and it is projected that cost savings will be realized immediately .
Section 5. - Luminary Operation Costs
The City of Riverside maintains all existing street lights within City boundaries, with the exception of lights at freeway ramp intersections, which are maintained by the State of California Department of Transportation.
Streetlights at intersections with traffic signals are referred to in this report as “safety lighting”. The operation and maintenance costs for City owned safety lighting at signalized intersections are included as direct co sts to Street Lighting District No. 1. The costs of operation and maintenance of the traffic signals are not included, as these are not part of the street lighting system.
The estimated costs to be paid to the State of Cali fornia Department of Transportation where maintenan ce and energy costs are shared at intersections are included as direct costs to Street Lighting District No. 1. This cost has been determined based upon the type and wattage of luminaries at the intersection.
Expenses related to maintenance and operation of the City of Riverside street lighting system are paid from the City's General Fund based on an average annual energy usage rate per streetlight. These average annual costs vary depending upon the type and wattage of luminaries, as shown in Table 5-1.

Section 6. - Assessment Diagram
The assessment diagram has been prepared and is on file with the office of the City Clerk. The diagram consists of index sheets and bound books of Riverside County As sessor’s Maps. The index sheets show the areas, whi ch include properties to be assessed, and which refer to the Riverside County Assessor’s Maps for a more detailed description of the properties.
Since the 2021-22 Engineer’s Report, revisions have been made to the assessor’s maps. These revisions have resulted in changes of parcel numbers within the Ci ty and annexed areas which must be reflected on the assessment roll. The revised assessor’s maps showing the new or revised assessment parcel numbers will be filed with the City Clerk along with the Engineer’s Report.
The amended assessment diagram is referenced in Appendix B of this report.
Section 7. - Assessment Roll
Following the City Council’s approval of the levy o f assessments for Fiscal Year 2022-23, a final Asse ssment Roll will be prepared. A copy of the final Assessment Ro ll is incorporated by reference in Appendix C. The final Assessment Roll will be on file with the office of the City Clerk and the Riverside County Auditor/Tax Collector. The Assessment Roll will include the Riverside County P arcel Identification Number. The preliminary Roll w ill include the expected assessment for each parcel, and the final Roll will include the confirmed assessment for each parcel.
Section 8. - Proposition 218
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Pro position 218, entitled the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act”; it added Article XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.
Proposition 218 defines the term “assessment” as “any levy or charge upon real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property.” Cal. Const., art. XIIID, §2(b). A special assessment, sometimes called a “benefit assessment,” is a charge generally levied upon parcels of real property to pay for benefits t he parcels receive from local improvements. The key feature th at identifies a charge as an assessment is the exis tence of a special benefit to real property.
Proposition 218 does not define the term “streets”; however, based on the opinions of the public agency officials, attorneys, assessment engineers, and Senate Bill 91 9, it has been determined that streets include all public improvements located within the street right-of-way. This would include median and parkway landscaping, traffic signals, safety lighting, and street lighting.
The Street Lighting District No. 01 was formed in 1988, prior to the passage of Proposition 218. After the passage of Proposition 218 the Riverside City Council adopt ed a resolution that called for a special election, which was held on June 17, 1997. The purpose of that election was to determine whether the electorate wished to continue the City’s already existing Street Lighting District No. 1 by enacting an Ordinance Number 6360. The ballot measure is identified as Measure EE.
Subsequently, the Riverside City Attorney stated, in his Impartial Analysis of Measure EE, that under the terms of Proposition 218, existing assessments previously ap proved by the voters are exempt from otherwise appl icable procedural and approval processes. The Attorney fur ther stated that future increases in the annual ass essment would require further voter approval; in other word s, although a Proposition 218 Ballot proceeding was not required to continue assessing the District, a succ essful Proposition 218 Ballot proceeding would be n ecessary before rates could be increased in the District.
The Riverside City Council has determined that ther e will not be an increase in the Street Lighting As sessment charge for Fiscal Year 2022-23 and, therefore, will not conduct a ballot proceeding for this fiscal ye ar’s lighting assessment.

Distinguishing General and Special Benefit
Proposition 218 added a set of procedures and requirements to Article XIII D of the California Constitution which a local government must follow to levy an assessmen t. In addition to notice, hearing, and assessment b allot proceedings, Proposition 218 provides that “only special benefits are assessable” and requires a local government to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.” By its nature, most public improvements financed th rough an assessment district contain an element of public benefit. The test is: does there exist, with relation to the improvement, a special benefit to the property assessed? The law requires that the portion of the cost of th e improvement, which benefits the public generally, be separated from that portion of the cost of the improvement which specially benefits assessed properties. Article XIII D Section 2(i) defines Special Benefit as follows:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.”
The Riverside City Council determined that it was n ecessary to utilize the provisions of the Landscapi ng and Lighting Act of 1972, a benefit assessment act, to form Street Lighting District No. 1 over the entire City and to assess benefiting properties in proportion to the b enefits that the various properties will receive. T he benefit accruing to the properties is a direct benefit to a ll lots within the City, which have the capability of being developed, whether or not they currently have impro vements on them. This direct benefit provides incre ased property protection, personal safety, visibility, traffic safety, as well as provides an image of a progressive, well-lit city to outsiders and enhances property values citywide. The lighting of public facilities and parks also benefits the City as a whole. Therefore, street lighting is a direct and special benefit to all residents in the City.
Section 9. - Method of Assessment
With the exception of the condominium, apartment, a nd mobile home park properties, the benefits proper ties receive are assessed as increments of units of benefit (UOB). A single unit of benefit is considered to be the street frontage associated with one developable lot having lot frontage not exceeding 199 feet. See Units of Benefit on page 6 for more details.
To determine the units of benefit for lots, the records of the Riverside County Assessor as well as the City’s Zoning Maps have been utilized. Properties have been revie wed using both the Assessor’s Maps and the Assessor ’s Tax Roll in addition to the City’s Zoning Maps to deter mine the zoning and use of the properties. Properti es were exempted from assessment that are listed as tax exe mpt by the Assessor, or which are not capable of be ing developed because of small size. Lots which do not have frontage on dedicated city streets were also omitted with the exception of condominium, private residential communities, and planned unit developments. Parcels owned by churches or non-profit organizations were reviewed to determine their use. Those parcels were exempted from assessments by City Council action.
The field inventory of streetlights originally indi cated that two main areas of lighting existed, whic h are referred to as “urban” and “rural”. Ongoing inventory adjust ments since the original survey continue to show th at these are the two main areas of lighting within the City. The urban area comprises areas within the City of Riverside having levels of street lighting which are found in most urbanized areas. The urban area does not strictly refer to a type of land use, as there may be agricultural or other uses within this classification.
An assessment zone designated as “residential rural” has been defined in the urban area. This designation defines all lots within the urban area having this City of Riverside land designation and that are in agricultural or very low- density areas. These lots have a lower level of street lighting and are therefore assessed as a separate zone.
City of Riverside Street Lighting Assessment District No. 1 Annual Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 202 2-23 6
Fin
Both the rural and the residential rural assessment zones will receive special consideration in the maximum units of benefit. On March 20, 1990, the City Council det ermined that parcels in both assessment zones should not be assessed for more than three units of benefit. Asse ssments for excess units of benefit will be subsidi zed by the City’s General Fund. The same basis will be used for the Fiscal Year 2022-23 report. See Table 12-1 for details.
Residential lots in the urban area are designated a s the residential assessment zone. An evaluation of benefit received by condominium living units, apartments, a nd mobile home parks determined that they should be included in separate assessment zones, because cond ominium living units, apartment units, and mobile h ome park units benefit from the lighting on the public streets even though neither the condominium units, apartment units, nor mobile home park units directly abut the public street. The assessment for the condominium, apartment unit, and mobile home park unit zones was established to be midway between the residential and the residential rural assessments.
The rural area includes areas in the northeasterly, southwesterly, and southeasterly portions of the C ity of Riverside, which have minimal lighting. Much of the rural area is presently either undeveloped or in a gricultural land use. As development expands into the rural are a and street lighting is provided, the properties w ill be removed from this assessment classification and either included in the urban assessment area or assessed through an individual Community Facilities District maintenance special tax.
Assessments proposed for individual lots within Street Lighting District No. 1 will be for benefits received and will be determined based upon six assessment zones within the two assessment areas.
Urban Area
• Zone 1. Residential (R) – This will include all res idential lots within the urban area whether they ar e developed or undeveloped.
• Zone 2. Residential Rural (X) – This will include all residential-rural land use zones and lots within the urban area that are in agricultural or very low-density areas. • Zone 3. Condominium (L) – This will include all condominium developments within the urban area. • Zone 4. Apartment and Mobile Home (A) – This will in clude all apartment and mobile home developments.
• Zone 5. Non-Residential (M) – This will include all commercial, manufacturing, administrative, professional, and other non-residential lots within the urban area whether they are developed or undeveloped.
Rural Area
• Zone 6. Rural (C) – This will include all lots outside the urban area.
Units of Benefit
The units of benefit are assigned by using lot fron tage for the residential, residential rural, non-re sidential, and rural areas. The frontage is determined as follows:
• A lot having less than 199’ of frontage will receive 1 UOB • A lot having between 200’ and 299’ of frontage will receive 2 UOBs • A lot having between 300’ and 399’ of frontage will receive 3 UOBs
There will be an increase of one unit of benefit for each additional 100-foot increment, or fraction thereof, of lot street frontage.
City of Riverside Street Lighting Assessment District No. 1 Annual Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 202 2-23 7
Fin
If a residential or residential rural lot has front age on two or more streets, only the shortest front age dimension will be used to determine units of benefit. Commercial and other non-residential uses will have all street frontage dimensions included to determine their units of benefit.
The units of benefit are assigned for the apartment area or mobile home park area by using the number of apartment units within an apartment house or comple x or the number of mobile home parking spaces withi n a mobile home park. An apartment is defined as a parcel having two or more dwelling units on the parcel. The units of benefit are assigned for the condominium area on a dwelling unit basis whether or not the dwelling unit has street frontage.
Section 10. - Zone Cost of Operation and Maintenance
The cost of operation and maintenance of streetlights will be separated between the six assessment zones.
The inventory of the existing street lighting syste m was completed prior to the preparation of the Eng ineer’s Report for the formation of the District. The City of Riverside Public Utilities Department has accoun ted for all additions or deletions from the street lighting sys tem since that time and has provided the informatio n to the assessment engineer for use in the preparation of this annual report.
In order to pay for the costs associated with provi ding certain services in newly developed areas of t he City, including increased streetlighting, the City Council of the City of Riverside has approved a services component to be included with the formation of two new Community Facilities Districts (CFD). City Staff will contin ue to recommend the inclusion of services components in future new developments as well. The streetlights maintained within such a CFD will be excluded from Street Ligh ting District No. 1, and property owners will pay f or their streetlights through a Special Tax, rather than the Street Lighting District No. 1 Special Assessment. The first such district formed is Community Facilities District No. 2021-3 (Bridle Ridge).
The following table summarizes the streetlights wit hin the boundaries of CFD 2021-3 that will be exclu ded from the Streetlight Assessment District’s inventory, summarized on the following page.

Section 11. - Incidental Costs
Cost adjustments can occur during the fiscal year a nd can consist of several different items. These ad justments could affect the lighting zones and will therefore be applied on a uniform basis as part of the incidental expenses.
Cost adjustments can include billing rate adjustments, which account for longer or shorter nights in t he seasons, increases in the costs to deliver energy, and the additions of streetlights during the fiscal year.
The cost of professional services, which includes the costs associated with the preparation of the Annual 2022-23 Engineer’s Report, is $22,180.
The City of Riverside also had street lighting expenses in the amount of $5,520 for State Energy Tax, and $38,073 for Southern California Edison fees and expenses. Additionally, to pay for programs such as energy efficiency and conservation, research for renewables, and low-inco me assistance, a Public Benefits Charge of $129,600 is included.
The residential, residential-rural, non-residential , and rural street lighting costs are assessed dire ctly to the respective zones. Since the intersection safety lighting category is an equal benefit, this cost will be assessed to all parcels on an equal assessment per unit of benefit. Professional services will also be assessed equally to all parcels on a unit of benefit basis.
