City of Santee
Santee Roadway Lighting District
Fiscal Year 2023-24
Description of the Boundaries and Improvement Services of Santee Town Center Maintenance District The City of Santee (the “City”) formed the Santee Roadway Lighting District (the “District”) on May 24, 1982. The District is an Assessment District formed for the purpose of installing, operating, and maintaining public lighting facilities within the City. The boundaries of the District are coterminous with the boundaries of the City.

Description of the Boundaries of Santee Roadway Lighting District Benefit Zone A
 Properties located within Zone A are located throughout the City. Zone A funds generally pays for street lights located on major roadways (streets in the city’s Mobility Element network). Within Zone A, there are five major roadway classifications (listed in Section 3 of this report) with street lights of both general benefit and special benefit. No assessment is proposed for Zone A for the general benefit portion of the costs of street light operation and maintenance as this benefit is financed by ad valorem taxes. The special benefit attributable from Zone A streetlights have been included with the Zone B costs and include all streetlights along streets classified by the City of Santee General Plan as prime arterial, major arterials, parkways, collectors, and industrials. A description of the Zone A streets is shown on page 4.

Benefit Zone B
 Properties located within Zone B are presently served by street lights of special benefit. There is a portion of Zone B benefit attributable to Zone A streetlights. Zone B consists of all parcels that have street lighting on the block (including intersections) of the street to which the parcel has frontage. These streets include not only local streets, but also include collectors, parkways, prime arterials, major arterials, residential collectors and industrial streets. This local lighting is of benefit as it increases property protection, personal safety, visibility, traffic safety, and specifically enhances those areas fronting upon the illuminated streets. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218, the maximum assessment was established at $16.00 per benefit unit.

The areas in Zones A and B that contain the existing street lighting system consists of lights owned by both San Diego Gas and Electric Company and the District. There are a total of 3,358 lights in the Santee Roadway Lighting District with 1,177 owned by San Diego Gas and Electric Company, and 2,181 owned by the City.

Description of Improvements and Services for Santee Roadway Lighting District The improvements include the construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of all Street Lighting within the District.

District Financing
The City has two sources of revenue to pay for the costs associated with streetlights within the City boundaries. The streetlights of special benefit are funded through the Assessment District; the streetlights of general benefit are funded through the ad valorem property tax collected on all properties throughout the City. Prior to the passage of Proposition 13, an ad valorem tax was established designating property tax revenues for the installation, operation, and maintenance of streetlights including funding the expenses of public streetlights within the City of Santee.

The general benefit portion of the lights in Zone A is financed from ad valorem tax revenues estimated at $384,100. The special benefit portion of lights in Zone B is financed from a benefit assessment of $411,532. As in prior years, for Fiscal Year 2023-24, no benefit assessment will be levied for the general benefit portion of Zone A street lighting It is recommended that the Zone B street lighting benefit assessment for a single family home be $16.00 per year; i.e., one (1) Benefit Unit equals $16.00 for Fiscal Year 2023-24. The benefit assessment will increase to $16.00 from the prior Fiscal Year and is in accordance with the original methodology. A detail listing of these costs is included in Section 2 of this report.

Fiscal Year 2023-24
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, the so-called “Right to Vote on Taxes Act.” Proposition 218 amended the California Constitution by adding Articles XIII C and XIII D (“Article XIII D”), which affect the ability of local governments to levy and collect existing and future taxes, assessments, and property-related fees and charges. Article XIII D, Section 4 established new majority ballot protest procedural requirements for levying any new or increasing any existing assessments and placed substantive limitations on the use of the revenues collected from assessments. Pursuant to Article XIII D, Section 5, however, any assessment existing on November 6, 1996, that falls within one of four exceptions is exempt from these majority ballot protest procedures. The four exceptions are as follows.
1) Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems, or vector control. Subsequent increases in such assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4. 2) Any assessment imposed pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment is initially imposed. Subsequent increases in such assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.
3) Any assessment the proceeds of which are exclusively used to repay bonded indebtedness of which the failure to pay would violate the Contract Impairment Clause of the Constitution of the United States. 4) Any assessment that previously received majority voter approval from the voters voting in an election on the issue of the assessment. Subsequent increases in those assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.

In Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. City of Riverside, 73 Cal. App. 4th 679, 685-86 (1999), the court of appeals concluded that street lights fall within the definition of “streets” for purposes of Article XIII D, Section 5(a), which exempts an assessment imposed solely for “street purposes.”
As previously noted, the District was formed in 1982, prior to the adoption of Proposition 218, and assessments are imposed for the purpose of operating and maintaining streetlights. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53753.5, because the assessments levied within the District fall within the first exception identified above, the assessments imposed within the District are not subject to the procedural and substantive requirements of Article XIII D, Section 4 in subsequent fiscal years unless: (1) the assessment methodology is changed to increase the assessment; or (2) the amount of the assessments are proposed to exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments adopted by the City in accordance with Article XIII D, Section 4 or Government Code Section 53753.

The City is not proposing to change the assessment methodology and the assessments are not proposed to exceed the assessment formula or range of assessment as adopted by the City prior to November 6, 1996. Based on the forgoing, the assessments to be imposed in Fiscal Year 2023-24 are not subject to Article XIII D, Section 4.

Method of Apportionment
As previously stated the District was formed in 1982 for the purpose of installing, operating, and maintaining public lighting facilities within the City of Santee. The benefit charge formula established the amount of the estimated assessment on each lot or parcel of land in the District in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel of land from the use of the streets and their appurtenances, such as street lights. An evaluation of the major roadways consistent with the method of apportionment of the District was conducted to determine the portion of general and special benefit conferred on real property within the City. Each lot or parcel of land in the District has been determined to have a specific land use by the City of Santee Department of Development Services. The use or benefit of a public street is best determined by the use of the land adjacent to the public street. Each type of actual land use was assigned a land use factor derived from trip generation rates, developed by the Transportation Planning Division of the City of San Diego’s Planning Department. These factors are based on a compilation of trip generation studies done in San Diego and other Western U.S. locations. Please refer to Appendix B for the assigned land use factors.

Previously, the streetlights were split into Zones with streetlights being designated as either general benefit or special benefit.

However, the majority of streetlights provide both general and special benefit. Therefore, based on the results of a traffic study completed in 2014 and on file with the City of Santee Department of Development Services, the percent of special benefit is estimated by taking the total measured Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes and comparing this amount to the estimated ADT volumes

3. Method of Apportionment of Assessment Page | 4
City of Santee
Santee Roadway Lighting District
Fiscal Year 2023-24
generated from the parcels fronting the roadway. The percentage of traffic that is from the parcels fronting the roadway is defined to be the percentage of local benefit. The percentage of traffic that is not from the parcels fronting the roadway is considered to be general benefit. All properties within the District are being assessed the estimated benefit received from the public lighting facilities within the City of Santee.

In 2017, the City updated the General Plan’s Mobility Element which was intended to provide a framework for the development of the City’s transportation network through the year 2035 and to comply with current state laws and codes. As a result of these changes, a new traffic study was needed which affected the classification of the roadways within the City as well as the special benefit and general benefit provided by each roadway classification. The information below reflects the changes determined by the traffic study completed July 2019.

The streetlights along major roadways provide both general and special benefit. Based on the City’s 2017 Mobility Element and the July 2019 traffic study, the streets below have been classified as prime arterials, collectors, major arterials, parkways, or industrial.

Prime Arterials Parkways Collectors

1. Cuyamaca Street 1. Town Center Parkway 1. Fanita Parkway

2. Mission Gorge Road 2. Riverview Parkway 2. Carlton Oaks Drive

3. Magnolia Avenue 3. Park Center Drive 3. Halberns Boulevard

7. Fanta Drive 6. Abraham Way 12. S. Woodside Avenue

7. Wheatlands Avenue 13. Mast Boulevard

8. Wheatlands Court

9. Wheatlands Road
The distinction between special benefit and general benefit for each road classification, as shown in the table below, is utilized by the City to determine the cost breakdown for electricity and repairs associated with each light.

Special and General Benefit for each Roadway Classification Road
Classification % Special Benefit % General Benefit
Prime 27% 73%
Major 16% 84%
Parkway 34% 66%
Collector 37% 63%
Industrial 89% 11%
Each property subject to the District assessment is assigned a land use factor. The land use factor is multiplied by the number of dwelling units for parcels classified as residential, or the number of acres for other land use classifications. The product of this multiplication is the number of benefit units for each lot or parcel of land to be assessed. The amount per benefit unit is then multiplied by the number of benefit units for each of the lots or parcels of land to establish the benefit charge for that lot or parcel of land.

This local lighting is of benefit to abutting parcels as it provides increased property protection, personal safety, visibility, traffic safety, and specifically enhances those areas fronting upon the illuminated street, in addition to providing the appearance of a progressive and illuminated city.

3. Method of Apportionment of Assessment Page | 5
City of Santee
Santee Roadway Lighting District
Fiscal Year 2023-24
The recommended assessment this year is $16.00 per Benefit Unit for parcels in Zone B. The benefit assessment will increase to $16.00 from the prior Fiscal Year and is in accordance with the original methodology. The latest Assessor’s information related to parcel size and parcel number (available in mid-July 2023) will be used to determine the final assessment.

Land Use Factors

1. Each parcel of land in the lighting district was determined to have a specific land use by the City of Santee Department of Development Services.

2. Each type of land use was assigned a land use factor determined by trip generation rates by land use as they relate to a single-family residential land use. The trip generation rates by land use were prepared by the City of San Diego Transportation, Planning Division and are a compilation of trip generation studies done in San Diego and other western U.S. locations.

3. If a land use was not included in the study, the City of Santee Department of Development Services made a determination as to its probable trip generation compared to single family residential and assigned a land use factor on that basis.

4. Single family residential land use was assigned a land use factor of 1.0, notwithstanding its size. The theory is that all singlefamily residences, notwithstanding parcel size, generate approximately the same number of trips, and therefore, receive the same benefit from the use of the streets, and their appurtenances such as street lights.

5. Determination of the land use factors other than single family residential are based upon the average number of trips generated per acre or per dwelling unit for a specific land use divided by the average number of trips generated per acre or per dwelling unit for a single-family residential dwelling.

A complete listing of these land use factors can be found in Appendix B.

Street Light LED Upgrades
CIP 2023-02 • Circulation Project
Description: Replace existing street light fixtures on arterial and residential streets, as well as walkway lights along roadways, with more energy efficient LED lighting.

Justification: The City-owned street lights were replaced ten years ago to energy saving induction lights, which have a service life of 10 to 15 years. However, after 10 years the light output has decreased. In addition, induction fixtures are no longer available and there are no replacement parts. The current standard of street lighting is the use of light emitting diodes (LED), which are more energy efficient and produce more uniform lighting with a longer service life of 15 to 20 years. This project is consistent with the Sustainable Santee Plan.

Operating Impact: Cost savings of $55,000 is expected annually due to energy savings and a reduction in maintenance cost.

Ten of the existing zones – Zones 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 – will be active, and will be assessed and their improvements maintained by City or contract forces. Zones 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 15, 16, and 19 have been annexed to the District, but have no assessment because they are responsible for their own maintenance; if not maintained to City standards, the City will assume maintenance and levy assessments. Further details are provided in the body of this Engineer’s Report.

Background
The City Council of the City of Santee approved the formation of Santee Landscaping Maintenance District in FY 1989-90. The District was formed pursuant to the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the “’72 Act”).

The District was formed to provide a source of funds for the operation, servicing, maintenance and repair of landscaping within public streets, right-of-way, easements, and appurtenant facilities within the District. The Report sets forth the methodology to be used in apportioning the assessment to the different land use types and benefit zones within the City based upon the benefit they receive.

The original District was formed in FY 1989-90, then several “benefit zones” were annexed into the District in the following years. These benefit zones were established to ensure a source of funds for the ongoing maintenance of public landscaping which are of local benefit to the parcels within the benefit zone. Currently there are eighteen (18) Zones of Benefit that have been annexed into the District (see Appendix C – Assessment Diagrams).

Parcels within these special benefit zones are assessed their proportionate share of the cost for the maintenance of local improvements including, but not limited to, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. These improvements provide a special benefit to those parcels due to their nature and location.
1 The actual assessment roll might have a minimal variance due to rounding. 2 Maintenance responsibilities assumed by homeowners’ association or property owners. 3 Assessment not approved by property owners. i. Introduction Page | iii

Engineer’s Report SLMD
Fiscal Year 2023-24
Effects of Proposition 218 Legislation
In November 1996, Prop 218 - the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” – added Article XIII D to the State Constitution. The amendment created new substantive and procedural requirements for ‘72 Act districts. Now, when a new or increased levy is proposed for a district or a zone therein the local agency must mail a notice and “ballot” to each property owner of record affected by the new or increased assessment.

The ballot procedure enables property owners to approve or disapprove the proposed new or increased assessment. The vote is determined by the weighted proportional financial obligation of the ballots returned. A “majority protest” exists if ballots submitted in opposition exceed ballots in favor of the new or increased levy. If a majority protest exists for a new assessment, the local agency cannot levy the assessment. If a majority protest exists for an increase in an existing assessment, the increase cannot be collected but, the base amount (the amount levied last fiscal year) can continue to be levied.

The ‘72 Act enables the governing body to adjust assessment rates as it directs at the approval stage or the public hearings. Therefore, the rates shown herein are proposed but are not confirmed until approved by the City Council. Once the Engineer's Report has been approved by the City Council, the ballots tabulated (if applicable), and the public hearing(s) completed, final assessment information will be provided to the County of San Diego for inclusion on the appropriate property tax bills.

Current Annual Administration
As required by the ’72 Act, the Report includes: (1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, and serviced by the District, (2) an estimated budget for the District, and (3) a listing of the proposed Fiscal Year 2023-24 assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.

The City of Santee will hold a Public Hearing on July 12, 2023, regarding the District which will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the assessment rates as originally proposed or as modified.

Payment of these annual assessments for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for their annual property taxes. All funds collected through the assessments must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this Report.

District Description
The District will be divided into 18 separate zones of benefit, as described below. Dimensions of each parcel are shown on Assessor’s maps located in the County of San Diego Administration Building, 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92101. As provided in the ’72 Act, the boundaries may be adjusted in the future by annexations to this District. The boundary for each zone is depicted on the Assessment Diagrams in Appendix C.

Active Zones
In FY 2023-24, the SLMD consists of 18 separate zones of benefit. The 18 zones are comprised of both active and inactive zones. “Active” means the zones will have maintenance activities during FY 2023-24. Maintenance activities are comprised of both contract and City forces. The ten active zones are:

ZONE 1 - EL NOPAL ESTATES (TM88-04)
Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (the “APNs”) 381-221-10 through 381-221-42, inclusive, and 381-221-44, -45, -46, and -47, and 381-221-58 through -65, inclusive. Established in FY 1989-90, this was the first subdivision in the District and was originally comprised of two zones.

Zone 2 was eliminated in FY 1997-98 because its maintenance was subsumed under Zone 1 to be consistent with current assessment district laws.

ZONE 3 - COUNTRY SCENES (TM89-01)
APNs 381-260-49 through 381-260-62, inclusive. This 14-unit single-family subdivision located near Conejo and Mast Blvd. was annexed in FY 1992-93.

ZONE 4 - CAMELOT HEIGHTS (TM89-02)
APNs 378-420-46 through 378-420-55, inclusive. Annexed in FY 1993-94, this subdivision’s ten single-family homes located off Princess Joanne Rd. share maintenance costs.

ZONE 8 - SILVER COUNTRY ESTATES (TM93-02)
APNs 378-440-01 through -29, inclusive, 378-441-01 through -26, inclusive, 378-441-29 through -41, inclusive, 378-441-44 and -45, 378- 450-01 through -20, inclusive, 378-450-22 through -53, inclusive, 378-450-55, and 381-710-01 through -30, inclusive. 153 Single-family homes make up this subdivision at the north end of Cuyamaca St. The first unit was annexed in FY 1995-96, but the improvements were not accepted so there was no assessment. Once the project was completed, property owners cast ballots regarding assessments in FY 1998-99, and the affirmative vote set an initial assessment and maximum rate.

ZONE 9 - TIMBERLANE/MATTAZARO (TM88-07/TM92-03)
APNs 381-690-02 through -12, inclusive, 381-690-15 through -26, inclusive, 381-690-34 through -40, inclusive, 381-690-47 through -49, inclusive, and 381-690-51. Due to their physical proximity, improvements for the 25-unit single-family home development called “Timberlane” and the nine-unit “Mattazaro” single-family home project were combined into one zone. Zone 9 had no assessment in its first year because the improvements were not accepted before the start of FY 1996-97. In FY 1997-98, improvements were accepted and an affirmative majority vote was made for the initial and maximum assessment rates.

ZONE 12 - THE HEIGHTS (TM96-01)
APNs 378-460-01 through -06, inclusive, 378-460-09 through -40, inclusive, 378-460-43 and -44, and 378-461-01 through -06, inclusive, 378-461-09 through -20, inclusive, and 378-460-021 and -22. Annexed in FY 1998-99, this 60-unit single-family project is at the northwest end of Magnolia Ave. Maintenance was assumed by the City in FY 2002-03. The project had affirmative assessment ballot proceedings establishing initial and maximum assessments rates.

ZONE 13 - PROSPECT HILLS (TM96-02)
APNs 386-680-01 through -20, inclusive. Also annexed in FY 1998-99, the 43 single-family homes off Prospect Ave. east of Holden Rd. share in the cost of landscaping fronting the project on Prospect Ave. The zone also had an affirmative assessment ballot proceedings to establish initial and maximum assessment rates.

ZONE 14 - MITCHELL RANCH (TM92-04)
APNs 381-720-01 through -16, inclusive. This 16-unit single-family subdivision is at the southwest corner of Magnolia Ave. and El Nopal.

An affirmative assessment ballot proceeding setting initial and maximum assessment rates was undertaken prior to its FY 2000-01 annexation.

ZONE 17 - DAKOTA RANCH (TM01-02)
APNs 378-420-56 through -75, inclusive. This 20-unit single family home development located at Dakota Ranch Rd. off Princess Joann was annexed in FY 2004-05. This zone also had affirmative assessment ballot proceedings to establish initial and maximum assessment rates.

ZONE 18 – ALLOS (TM98-02)
APNs 386-280-50 through -55, inclusive. Also annexed in FY 2004-05, the six single-family homes are on Prospect Ct. adjacent to Prospect Ave. near Mesa Rd. Improvements were reduced from originally approved plans to provide a reasonable assessment. The project had affirmative assessment ballot proceedings establishing initial and maximum assessment rates.

Inactive Zones
Eight of the 18 zones are “inactive”, i.e., there is no assessment and they are responsible for their own maintenance. These zones are:

ZONE 5 - MESA HEIGHTS (TM88-08)
APNs 386-670-01 through 386-670-44, inclusive. This zone was originally annexed in 1993-94. Due to the rising costs, in FY 1997-98, the Mesa Heights HOA assumed maintenance responsibilities for their 44-unit single-family subdivision’s landscaped improvements.

ZONE 6 - PROSPECT POINT (TM89-05)
APNs 386-250-07, -11, -12, -13, -14, -17, -19, -22, and -24. Nine single-family homes comprise this zone located off Prospect Ave. This zone has had no assessments since FY 1996-97.

ZONE 7 - TREVISO (TM03-01)
APNs 383-061-07-01 through -28, inclusive, 383-061-08-01 through -36, inclusive, 383-061-09-01 through -32, inclusive, 383-061-10-01 through -32, inclusive, 383-061-11-01 through -30, inclusive, and 383-061-12-01 through -28, inclusive. Formerly commercially-zoned, the 186-unit multi-family Treviso property carries out its own maintenance, so there is no assessment.

ZONE 10 - LAKES WEST (TM90-02)
APN 386-300-58. The Navy-owned 78-unit condominium project is located on Mission Gorge Rd. at Simeon Dr. and Bushy Hill Dr. It is responsible for its own maintenance and has not been assessed since its FY 1996-97 annexation.

ZONE 11 - PADRE HILLS (TM89-04)
APNs 386-270-53 through -63, inclusive, and 386-270-70 through -93, inclusive. A 35-unit single-family home subdivision located off Prospect Ave., Padre Hills underwent an unsuccessful assessment ballot proceeding upon its FY 1997-98 annexation. Consequently, the subdivision is responsible for maintaining its landscaping and is not assessed.

ZONE 15 - VISTA ESTE (TM00-03)
APNs 386-690-01 through -33, inclusive. The 33 attached homes included in this zone are responsible for their own maintenance through a homeowners’ association and was annexed in FY 2004-05. The subdivision is located off Fanita Dr. at Watson Pl.

City of Santee
Engineer’s Report SLMD
Fiscal Year 2023-24
General
The ’72 Act provides that the total cost of installation, construction, maintenance, and servicing of the public landscaping and hardscaping facilities can be recovered by the District. Maintenance may include the repair and/or replacement of existing facilities. Servicing may include electrical, water, and public utility costs. Incidental expenses, including administration of the District, data processing fees, annual Engineer’s Report, engineering fees, legal fees, printing, posting, mailing of notices, and all other costs associated with the maintenance of the District may also be included.

Budget
Estimated FY 2023-24 expenditures are shown in the table located in Appendix A. Budgets for Zones 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 are covered. There are no budgets for Zones 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 15, 16, and 19 because the respective property owners are directly responsible for maintenance.

Basic Data
Data has been compiled from the County Assessor’s maps, Development Services Department records, and a field review by Community Services Department staff.

Findings
Individual parcels within a district receive benefits based on land use, size and location of landscaping improvements to be installed or maintained. In the Santee Landscape Maintenance District, all parcels are zoned for residential uses.

3. Method of Apportionment of Assessment Page | 5
City of Santee
Engineer’s Report SLMD
Fiscal Year 2023-24
General
The ’72 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing and maintaining certain public improvements. The ’72 Act requires that assessments be levied according to the benefit received rather than assessed value. Section 22573 states:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The ’72 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Sec. 22574). Thus, the ’72 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax." Excepted from the assessment are the areas of all public streets, avenues, lanes, roads, drives, courts, and alleys; public parks, greenbelts, and parkways; and public-school property, other public property, and zoned agricultural open space.

Article XIII D of the California Constitution also requires that the Engineer’s Report identify all parcels receiving a special benefit, and identify the extent of the special benefit conferred. It defines “special benefit” as: ”…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.’“ Article XIII D then states:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of…the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportionate special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.” Article XIII D requirements for assessments are similar to those of traditional assessment district law, including the ’72 Act. The purpose of the above cited section is to allow assessments to be used, again, as a legitimate financing mechanism and not as a means to impose a “flat rate parcel tax.” Thus, while a benefit determination is still made, the Engineer’s Report is now required to draw a stronger relationship, or nexus, between the property, the benefit received and the subsequent assessment.

3. Method of Apportionment of Assessment Page | 6
City of Santee
Engineer’s Report SLMD
Fiscal Year 2023-24
Assessment Methodology
One of Article XIII D’s most significant changes is the “calculation requirement.” Local agencies must now determine whether or not property owners would receive a “special benefit” from services financed by the assessment. An Engineer’s Report is required to estimate the special benefit and general benefit property owners would receive. This step is needed because Article XIII D allows only the recoupment of the proportionate share of costs of the special benefit. Individual levies must be set so that no property owner pays over the proportional share of the total cost. The Jarvis-Gann Group, in Prop 218’s “Statement of Drafter’s Intent,” notes that:
“What constitutes a special benefit will depend on the nature of the… service being provided. It must be more than a mere increase in the value of the property because, arguably, the availability of any public service could provide additional value. It must be a direct and special benefit conferred on the property that exceeds the benefit conferred on the public at large or even to other similar properties.” Clearly an additional level of analysis is required; however, this additional analysis parallels the analyses presented in prior Engineer’s Reports which were prepared in compliance with the ’72 Act. It differs only in the determination of special vs. general benefit. This requires establishing the facts surrounding each subdivision included or proposed to be included in a district, and requires that these facts support the conferral of the special benefit.

All residential subdivisions included in the Santee Landscape Maintenance District have improvements directly associated with the exterior entrances and internal circulation elements of each particular subdivision. These improvements are features of each subdivision’s overall design, are consistent with the City of Santee General Plan Development Standards and Subdivision Ordinance, and were included as a component of each project’s Tentative Map approval.

No improvements included within each zone’s maintenance responsibility are located outside the boundaries of each subdivision’s Tentative Map, or outside the limits of the improvements that fulfill the requirements of project approval. Improvements were installed as part of subdivision construction. If each subdivision had not been built, the improvements associated with each subdivision would not have been installed nor provided later. Thus, the existence of the improvements is a direct function of the construction of each subdivision, and the special benefit of the associated improvements therefore inures to each subdivision. No general benefit is assigned because the improvements would not have been installed without the subdivision.

The approval of each subdivision’s landscaping plan is part of the approval of each subdivision’s Tentative Map. Thus, construction could not have proceeded without an approved Tentative Map, of which the landscaping plan is an integral part. Similarly, occupancy would not have occurred without fulfilling the conditions of development approval, which includes the installation of the improvements. Therefore, the special benefits of the improvements accrue directly to each home in each subdivision.

The method of assessment spread remains unchanged from prior fiscal years. Assessment spreads are based upon a single-family home being equal to one benefit unit. Total assessment costs are divided by the total benefit units to determine a per benefit unit cost. The portion of the District addressed by this Engineer’s Report is split into zones representing different levels of benefit. Developments with no assessment determination are not described in the “Assessment Determination” section.

Annual Assessment Rate Increases
Per Article XIII D, the levy of maximum rates is contingent on obtaining a majority approval of property owners. The maximum assessment rate per unit for Zone 1 may be increased annually by the percentage increase in the San Diego Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), in an amount not to exceed 3.5%. Based on an analysis of maintenance costs and the repayment of capital costs for a recent renovation, the CPI adjustment was applied and the rate per unit increased to $249.27. The maximum assessment rates per unit in Zones 17 and 18 may be increased by up to 2% annually by City Council action. Based on an analysis of the projected maintenance costs associated with existing public improvements, the maximum cap per unit have been established as $410.48 in Zone 17, $789.35 in Zone 18. Please note that all proposed assessments for FY 2023-24 are at or below the approved maximum, fulfilling Article XIII D requirements.

Assessment Determination
Proposed FY 2023-24 assessments are based on the previous methodology and use data available from subdivisions' plans and Assessor's information. Maintenance costs are developed by the Community Services Department. The Finance Department believes the data to be accurate. Final assessments will be based upon these preliminary assessments and any changes made due to Council action and/or input received during the public hearings.

Engineer’s Report Santee Town Center Landscape Maintenance District Fiscal Year 2023-24
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” which added Article XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exception, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:
1) Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets. 2) Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

However, even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, if the assessments are increased in the future, the City will need to comply with the provisions of Proposition 218 for that portion of the increased assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase).

Proposition 218 does not define this term “streets”, however, based on the opinions of the public agency officials, attorneys, assessment engineers and Senate Bill 919, 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.

Proposition 218 defines “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 the parcels receive from local improvements. Special assessments are levied according to statutory authority granted by the Legislature or, in some instances, local charters. Distinguishing among taxes, fees and assessments can be difficult and often depends on the context in which the distinction is made. For example, taxes, assessments and property-related fees all may be imposed on property. The key feature that distinguishes an assessment from a tax, fee or charge is the existence of a special benefit to real property. Without identifying a special benefit, there can be no assessment.

Method of Apportionment
Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and Article XIII D of the Constitution of the State of California, all parcels that have special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements shall be identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire cost of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. Only parcels that receive direct special benefit are assessed, and each parcel is assessed in proportion to the estimated benefit received.

The Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement” (S&H S22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax.” Excepted from the assessment would be the area of all public streets and right-of-way; all public parks, greenbelts and parkways.

Special Benefit Determination
The City of Santee considers the maintenance and upkeep of parkways and adjacent slopes to be the responsibility of the adjacent development due to the added beautification of the local community which extends to the perimeter of the development.

Improvements that provide a special benefit to an isolated group of parcels of land located within the District are considered to be a localized benefit, and the costs associated with these improvements are assessed to all parcels receiving the localized benefit.

Localized benefits include the construction, operation, servicing and maintenance of the improvements that only benefit the parcels located within the localized areas.

Localized Landscaping – Parcels that have localized landscaping such as entryway landscaping, parkway landscaping, etc. adjacent to or near their parcels directly benefit from the landscaping improvements and are assessed for the costs of the localized landscaping.

3. Method of Apportionment of Assessment Page | 6
City of Santee
Engineer’s Report Santee Town Center Landscape Maintenance District Fiscal Year 2023-24
General Benefit
The landscape improvements maintained by each zone provide no general public benefit in that the improvements were installed for the sole benefit of the properties within each benefit zone. The landscape improvements do not extend beyond the perimeter of the boundary of each of those benefit zones. It is therefore determined that all properties within each zone benefit equally from the financed improvements and the costs and expenses for the landscaping maintenance and services are apportioned on a per parcel basis.

The actual assessment and the amount of the assessment for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 apportioned to each parcel as shown on the latest equalized roll at the County Assessor’s office are listed in Appendix A of this Report. The description of each lot or parcel is part of the records of the County of San Diego Assessor’s Office and such records are, by reference, made part of this Report.

Special Benefit Zones
The Santee Town Center Landscape Maintenance District has eight (8) special benefit zones.

Zones “A Through H” were established to accurately track and assess the costs associated with the localized landscaping improvements such as entryway landscaping and parkway landscaping, etc. for specific development sites. These improvements are only assessed to the parcels within the development sites that directly benefit from the improvements.

ZONE A – TOWN CENTER
The method of apportionment for Zone A is based upon the percentage of square footage of landscaping, maintained in the right-ofway, adjacent to an individual property owner’s property. The actual adjacent values have been calculated and percentages have been determined to be as indicated in the following figure for the District. Individual parcels within a landscape district will receive benefits based on land use, size and location of landscaping. In the case of the Santee Town Center Landscape Maintenance District, Zone A, all parcels are zoned for commercial usage. Assessor Parcel 381-041-18 is designated as a public street and is exempt from assessment.

ZONE B – THE LAKES
The method of apportionment for Zone B is based upon the finding that each residential unit within the zone shares an equal benefit from landscaped areas to be maintained. The assessment for each unit will be determined by dividing the total assessment costs by the total number of units in Zone B. Individual parcels within a landscape district will receive benefits based on land use, size and location of landscaping. In the case of the Santee Town Center Landscape Maintenance District, Zone B, all parcels are zoned for residential usage. All parcels share an equal benefit in landscape areas that are adjacent to Palm Glen Drive and Magnolia Avenue.

ZONE C – SAN REMO
The method of apportionment for Zone C is based upon the finding that each residential unit within the zone shares an equal benefit from landscaped areas to be maintained. The assessment for each unit will be determined by dividing the total assessment costs by the total number of units in Zone C. Individual parcels within a landscape district will receive benefits based on land use, size and location of landscaping. In the case of the Santee Town Center Landscape Maintenance District, Zone C, all parcels are zoned for residential usage. All parcels share an equal benefit in landscaped areas and are accessible from Mast Boulevard.

ZONE D – MISSION CREEK
The methodology to be used to apportion the assessments to those parcels in Zone D, Mission Creek, will be based upon the special benefit received. Based upon a review of the proposed land uses for Tentative Map No. 87-01 (November 8, 1989) and Revised Illustrative Site Plan C (September 22, 1989), provided by City staff, it is recommended that the single-family parcel be used as the basic unit of calculation for the assessments. Single family residential parcels account for approximately 60% of the proposed residential development within the project. Individual parcels within a landscape district will receive benefits based on land use, size and location of landscaping. In the case of the Santee Town Center Landscape Maintenance District, Zone D, the property has been designated for single family residential, multi-family residential and commercial usage. All parcels will be assessed a fair and equitable portion of the landscape improvements benefiting the properties.

The following methodology has been developed to calculate the EDUs to be assigned to each lot or parcel within the Zone based on land use and parcel size:

3. Method of Apportionment of Assessment Page | 7
City of Santee
Engineer’s Report Santee Town Center Landscape Maintenance District Fiscal Year 2023-24
Single Family Residential - The single family parcel was selected as the basic unit of calculation for the assessments, and is defined as one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). A methodology has been developed to calculate the EDUs for other residential land uses and for commercial/industrial parcels as described below based on land use and parcel size.

Multi-Family Residential - The EDUs for land zones for multi-family uses would be assessed 1 EDU per dwelling unit, e.g., a parcel with 100 condominium units would be assigned 100 EDUs.

Vacant Residential - The EDUs for parcels defined as residential but having no dwelling unit on them are calculated based on 1.8 EDUs per acre or any portion thereof, with a minimum of 0.20 EDU. This allocation was developed by dividing the average residential lot size in this project of 4,700 sq.ft. into 43,560 sq.ft. (1 acre) and then assigning twenty (20) percent of the calculated EDUs to the parcel (twenty percent estimates the ratio of land value to land value plus improvement).

Commercial - The EDUs for land zoned for commercial uses would be assigned at the rate of nine (9) EDUs per acre. This allocation has been developed by dividing the average residential lot size in this project of 4,700 sq.ft. into 43,560 sq.ft. (1 acre).

Vacant Commercial - Parcels defined as vacant commercial parcels would be assigned EDUs at the allocated rate of 20% of the Commercial rate, which have structures or improvements on them.

The assessment per equivalent dwelling unit (cost per EDU) will be determined by dividing the total assessment to be levied by the total number of EDUs. The assessment for each parcel would be calculated by multiplying the parcel’s number of EDUs by the cost per EDU.

ZONE D – BENEFIT ZONES
In order to determine charges or rates based on the benefit(s) received by each lot or parcel, it is recommended that two subzones be established within Zone D, Mission Creek. Based on review of the proposed improvements and facilities to be maintained and operated by Zone D, a Residential Subzone (including single family and multi-family residential parcels) and a Commercial Subzone should be established.

The Zone-wide improvements include the San Diego River Channel improvements, consisting of the Linear Park, Pedestrian Bridge and Riparian Habitat. The San Diego River Channel improvements provide a special benefit to all parcels in the zone since the improvements border the entire project and were required by the conditions of development for the entire project. Therefore, the maintenance costs for these improvements are spread to all parcels in the zone.

The improvements at Commercial Unit No. 3, consisting of the maintenance of monuments on Cuyamaca Street and River Park Drive, landscape easements, public access, walkways and parkways provide a special benefit to the parcels in the Commercial Subzone since the improvements front the Commercial Subzone and were required by the conditions of development for the project.

The parcels in the Residential Subzone receive a special benefit from the maintenance of the western bike path and the improvements for Residential Units 1 and 2, the Mission Creek Townhomes and the Cluster Homes, which consist of entrance monuments, landscape easements, public access, walkways and parkways, since the improvements front the Residential Subzone and were required by the conditions of development for the project.

ZONE E – TROLLEY SQUARE
The methodology to be used to apportion the assessments to those parcels in Zone E, Trolley Square, will be based upon the special benefit received. The following methodology has been developed to calculate the benefit to be assigned to each lot or parcel within the Zone based on land use and parcel size. Individual parcels within a landscape district will receive benefits based on land use, size and location of landscaping improvements to be installed, operated or maintained. In the case of the Santee Town Center Landscape Maintenance District, Zone E, all parcels are zoned for commercial usage. There are no public properties in Zone E that benefit from the improvements.

Commercial - The benefit for land zoned for commercial uses would be assigned on a per acre basis, where one acre of commercial land equals one adjusted acre of commercial land.

Vacant Commercial - Parcels defined as vacant commercial parcels would be assigned benefit at the allocated rate of 20% of the Commercial rate, which have structures or improvements on them. Therefore, one acre of vacant commercial land equals 0.20 adjusted acre of vacant commercial land.

City of Santee
Engineer’s Report Santee Town Center Landscape Maintenance District Fiscal Year 2023-24
The assessment per parcel will be determined by dividing the total assessment to be levied by the sum of the adjusted acreage. The assessment for each parcel would be calculated by multiplying the parcel’s adjusted acreage by the cost per adjusted acre.

ZONE F – HARTFORD PROPERTY
The methodology to be used to apportion the assessments to those parcels in Zone F, Hartford Property, will be based upon the special benefit received. The following methodology has been developed to calculate the benefit to be assigned to each lot or parcel within the Zone based on land use and parcel size.

Commercial - The benefit for land used for developed commercial/public uses would be assigned on a per acre basis.

The assessment per parcel will be determined by dividing the total assessment to be levied by the sum of the acreage. The assessment for each parcel would be calculated by multiplying the parcel’s acreage by the cost per acre.

ZONE G – RIVERWALK
The method of apportionment for Zone G is based upon the finding that each residential unit within the zone shares an equal benefit from landscaped areas to be maintained. The assessment for each unit will be determined by dividing the total assessment costs by the total number of units in Zone G.

ZONE H – RIVERVIEW
The methodology to be used to apportion the assessments to those parcels in Zone H (Riverview) will be based upon the special benefit received. The following methodology has been developed to calculate the benefit to be assigned to each lot or parcel within the Zone based on land use and parcel size.

Residential - The benefit for land used for developed residential uses would be assigned on a per acre basis and then converted to per unit cost based on the number of residential units.

Commercial - The benefit for land used for developed commercial/public uses would be assigned on a per acre basis.

Annual Assessment Rate Increases
Based on an analysis of the projected operations and maintenance costs associated with existing and future public improvements within Zone A – Town Center, a maximum assessment of $2,973 per acre has been established for the 71.1% portion and $1,627 per acre for the Costco portion. Zones B and C were not established with a CPI escalator and cannot increase without a majority approval Proposition 218 Ballot process. Based on an analysis of the projected operations and maintenance costs associated with existing and future public improvements within Zone D – Mission Creek, a maximum cap of $286 per EDU has been established for the Residential Subzone and $5,481 per acre for the Commercial Subzone.

The maximum assessment rate per acre for Zones E, F and G may be increased by 2% by City Council approval each year. The maximum assessment rate per acre for Zone H may be increased by City Council approval each year by (i) the Consumer Price Index - all Urban Consumers for the San Diego Area or (ii) two percent (2%), whichever is greater. Annually, the City Council will determine the operations and maintenance budgeting needs for each zone and determine the annual assessment. The annual assessment amount will not exceed these maximum rates unless a balloting process in compliance with Proposition 218 is completed. Based on an analysis of the projected operations and maintenance costs associated with the public improvements within Zone E (Trolley Square), the maximum assessment rate for FY 2023-24 will be $5,851.06 per adjusted acre. Based on an analysis of the projected operations and maintenance costs associated with the public improvements within Zone F (Hartford Property), the maximum assessment rate for FY 2023-24 will be $4,161.41 per acre. Based on an analysis of the projected operations and maintenance costs associated with the public improvements within Zone G (Riverwalk), the maximum assessment rate for FY 2023-24 will be $163.96

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTEE

DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO PROVIDE FOR AN ANNUAL LEVY AND

COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS, AND SETTING A TIME AND PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING THEREON FOR THE FY 2023-24

TOWN CENTER LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Santee, California has previously formed a street lighting and landscaping district pursuant to the terms and provisions of the "Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972", being Division 15, Part 2 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California, Article XIII of the California Constitution , and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act (commencing with California Government Code Section 53750) (collectively the “Law”), in what is known and designated as TOWN CENTER LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT ("District"); and WHEREAS, at this time, landscaping facilities or improvements, as set forth in the Engineer’s Report (“Report”), include landscaping within public streets and public rights-ofways and easements including medians and right-of-way landscaping within the Town Center area of the City; and
WHEREAS, at this time, this City Council desires to take proceedings to provide for the annual levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2023-24 to provide for the costs and expenses necessary for the continued maintenance of improvements within said District; and
WHEREAS, at this time there has been presented and approved by this City Council, a Report as required by law, and this City Council desires to move forth with the proceedings for said annual levy.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santee, California, as follows:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are all true and correct.

SECTION 2. The Report regarding the annual levy for said District, which Report is for maintenance for Fiscal Year 2023-24 that has been previously approved is directed to be filed in the Office of the City Clerk. Reference is hereby made to the Report for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessment.

SECTION 3. The public interest and convenience requires, and it is the intention of this City Council to order, the Fiscal Year 2023-24 annual assessment levy for the District as set forth and described in the Report, and it is further determined to be in the best public interest and convenience to levy and collect Fiscal Year 2023-24 annual assessments to pay the costs and expenses of the maintenance of the improvements as estimated in said Report.

2 TCLMD-Attachment 3
SECTION 4. The assessments levied and collected shall be for the maintenance of certain improvements, as set forth in the Report, referenced and so incorporated herein.

SECTION 5. There will be no change in the assessment amounts for Zones A, C and D, as they are at the maximum assessment. Although there was an assessment and an expenditure budget reflected in the fiscal year 22-23 Engineer’s Report for Zone B, the City did not levy the assessment in anticipation of entering into a Public Improvement Maintenance Agreement with the Magnolia Lakes Homeowners Association (“HOA”). The HOA Board has since voted to decline the City’s agreement offer and as such, the assessment for Zone B is included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Engineer’s Report and the assessment for Zone B will be levied on the Fiscal Year 2023-24 tax rolls. Zone B is also at the maximum assessment amount.

SECTION 6. Fiscal Year 2023-24 improvements include the installation of decomposed granite surrounding the fountain in Zone A and brush abatement in Zone C.

SECTION 8. All monies collected shall be deposited in a special fund known as:
"SPECIAL FUND – TOWN CENTER LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT." Payment shall be made out of said fund only for the purpose provided for in this Resolution, and in order to expedite the execution of the maintenance, the City Council may transfer into said special fund, from any available source, such funds as it may deem necessary to expedite the proceedings. Any funds shall be repaid out of the proceeds of the assessments provided for in this Resolution.

SECTION 9. Said maintenance work is, in the opinion of this City Council, of direct special benefit to the properties within the boundaries of the District, and this City Council makes the costs and expenses of said maintenance chargeable upon a District, of which District this City Council hereby declares to be the District specially benefited by said improvements and their maintenance thereof, and to be further assessed to pay the costs and expenses thereof. Said District shall include each and every parcel of land within the boundaries of said District, as said District is shown within said Report, as approved by this City Council and on file in the Office of the City Clerk, and so designated by the name of the District.

RESOLUTION NO.
3 TCLMD-Attachment 3
SECTION 11. Notice is hereby given that a public hearing on this item will be held before the SANTEE CITY COUNCIL at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday on July 12, 2023, regarding the annual levy of assessments, the extent of the maintenance, and any other matters contained within this resolution.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
May 24, 2023
A. INTRODUCTION
In 2019, the City Council approved a comprehensive update of the Santee Municipal Code. In order to ensure the Municipal Code remains consistent with current law and City practice, we plan to conduct annual Municipal Code updates to ensure any necessary revisions are completed in a timely manner. This agenda item is the fourth of these annual updates, and seeks to amend portions of Titles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Municipal Code.

The proposed revisions were presented to the City Council for first reading at the May 10, 2023 meeting. Council provided direction to make certain changes to the revisions, as follows:
• Purchasing Authority (Title 3). Council directed that Department Directors’ purchasing authority be increased to $25,000; and that the City Manager’s purchasing authority be increased to $50,000 for all contracts other than professional services contracts, and remain at $25,000 for professional services contracts. Staff has made this change, and recommends making conforming changes to the references to the Directors’, Purchasing Agent’s, and City Manager’s approval authority with regard to open market purchases and emergency purchases (which are covered in other sections of Title 3). For example, because the City Manager currently has authority to approve emergency purchases in the amount of up to $50,000, staff proposes that that threshold be increased to $75,000, with Council approval required for purchases over $50,000 for supplies, materials, equipment, or nonprofessional services, and for purchases over $25,000 for professional services. In addition, we recommend increasing the 60139.00151\41172229.3

STAFF REPORT
2 threshold for formal bidding to $50,000, to match the City Manager’s increased contract authority.1
• Circuses and Carnivals (Title 4). Council directed that Section 4.11.020 be revised to clarify that circuses and carnivals may operate on public property with or without paid admissions. Staff has made that change.
• Food Trucks (Title 13). Council directed that the proposed language allowing a food truck to operate as a temporary use ancillary to an active construction site or brewery, bar, etc. be revised to remove the restriction that the food trucks may only operate for three consecutive days. Staff has removed that language, and instead required that food trucks must remain operable at all times, have a clear exit path from the property at all times, not be permanently affixed to the property, and that no structures be permanently affixed to the food truck or permanently affixed to the property for use by the food truck. Food trucks operating in this ancillary manner would be considered a temporary use because they would not be affixed to the property and can be removed at any time, but there would be no specific time limit on their operation. Lastly, staff has replaced the term “food truck” with “vending vehicle” because “vending vehicle” is the defined term used in Title 13 to describe food trucks and similar vehicles.
• Tattoo Parlors (Title 13). There was some discussion among the Council of restricting the number of tattoo and / or body piercing businesses, but ultimately Council did not direct staff to make any changes to the proposed revisions allowing this use in the General Commercial zone. If Council desires to restrict this use, Council could direct staff to either (1) delete the proposed revision (meaning tattoo parlors and body piercing businesses would continue to be allowed in the Light Industrial zone, but continue to be prohibited in the General Commercial zone) or (2) impose a CUP requirement for tattoo parlors and / or body piercing businesses in the General Commercial zone. In addition, if in the future Council has any concerns about this use, Council may request that staff bring this issue back for further consideration.

The section-by-section summary of proposed revisions beginning on the next page has been updated to include these Council-directed modifications. Updated revisions are shown in underlined and strikethrough text.

Staff has also made a few minor clerical revisions, including adding “City Planner” to the definition of “Director of Planning and Building” and adding “City Engineer” to the definition of “Director of Engineering” because those Director positions encompass those titles as well. In addition, staff removed a change to the definition of “Junior ADU” that had been discussed among staff and was ultimately deleted from the redline but was inadvertently included in the staff report. No change will be made to the ADU ordinance.

B. BRIEF SUMMARY OF PROPOSED REVISIONS

1 This change is consistent with the City of La Mesa’s approach (discussed at the May 10, 2023 meeting), which uses the same dollar threshold for City Council approval and formal bidding. 60139.00151\41172229.3

STAFF REPORT
3 Staff has made revisions throughout the Code to replace references to “Department of Development Services” with references to the appropriate Department, to reflect the City’s recent reorganization of the Department of Development Services into two separate Departments: the Planning and Building Department and the Engineering Department.

Staff has also made revisions throughout the Code to replace references to “handicapped persons” with references to “persons with disabilities.” The proposed revisions to Titles 1, 2, 5, 9, and 10 consist solely of these minor updates in terminology. The proposed revisions to the other Titles include these updates as well as substantive revisions, which are summarized generally below and with more detail in the next section of this Staff Report.

The proposed substantive revisions to Title 3 increase the dollar thresholds for requiring formal bidding and informal bidding, increase the dollar thresholds for purchasing and contracting award authority for department directors and the City Manager, and increase the dollar threshold for contracts requiring City Council approval.

The proposed substantive revision to Title 4 would clarify that a circus or carnival may operate on public property with or without paid admission.

The proposed substantive revisions to Title 8 include clarifying that encroachments into the public right of way are prohibited with the exception of certain situations and prior approvals. Exceptions include minor surface improvements, such as the installation of gravel or mulch, the removal of which would not overly burden a City contractor hired to perform work within the City’s right of way.

The proposed substantive revisions to Title 11 focus primarily on streamlining and clarifying the existing requirements regarding undergrounding of utilities as a condition of project approval. The revisions are recommended due to developer confusion in determining the applicability of the requirements and the exceptions. The proposed revisions streamline the exemptions. The revisions to Title 11 also expand the existing homeowner obligations related to work performed without a required grading permit. The additional language is intended to provide direction to homeowners who are found to have commenced work without a valid permit. Currently, enormous staff time is allocated toward assisting these homeowners in addressing unpermitted work. The proposed revisions would help reduce the burden to staff as the new language defines the homeowners’ options to achieve compliance with minimal staff involvement by requiring the homeowner to show proof of a valid permit, engage with the necessary professional as necessary to obtain the required permits, or restore the area as it was.

The proposed substantive revisions to Title 12 include clarification of the private street standards by defining minimum widths, specifically for emergency access, public alleyways, and parking considerations. The revisions also clarify that private streets are allowed only when specifically approved by the City Engineer. 60139.00151\41172229.3

STAFF REPORT
4 The proposed substantive revisions to Title 13 include changes to the commercial use regulations such as requiring a conditional use permit for auto repair, car wash, and selfstorage facilities and allowing tattoo and / or body piercing as a permitted use in the General Commercial zone. Also, food trucks will be allowed as a temporary use when operating as a catering or take-out service on an active construction site or on a lot developed with a brewery, bar, tavern, nightclub, lodge, or stand-alone liquor store, provided that the food truck is not permanently affixed to the property, and meets the other operational criteria. Other updates to Title 13 include replacing the term “mobilehome” with “manufactured home”; authorizing the Director of Planning and Building to require a public hearing and City Council review as needed for administrative projects; clarifying the requirements for cul-de-sacs in the R-2 zone; clarifying the perimeter setback and adding the driveway length requirement for Planned Residential Development; revising the visibility clearance diagram and requirements; requiring a parking demand study for carwash facilities and daycare centers / preschools; and making other minor clerical revisions and clarifications.

Public Hearing for Title 13
Government Code section 65854 requires the planning commission to hold a public hearing on certain proposed amendments to a zoning ordinance. Where there is no independent planning commission, as in the City, the City Council carries out the functions of the planning commission. For that reason, the Council was required to conduct a public hearing on the Ordinance amending Title 13. The Notice of Public Hearing for the Ordinance Amending Title 13 was published in the East County Californian on April 28, 2023, in compliance with state law, and the public hearing was conducted on May 10, 2023. The other Ordinance does not require a public hearing.

C. DETAILED SUMMARY OF PROPOSED REVISIONS

unpermitted work.

Section 13.06.070.C Temporary uses. Added new subsection C.10 to allow a food truck (“vending vehicle”) to operate as an ancillary use on an active construction site or on a lot developed with a brewery, 60139.00151\41172229.3

STAFF REPORT
14 bar, tavern, nightclub, lodge, or stand-alone liquor store. The vending vehicle must operate as a catering or take-out only service and only operate for no more than three consecutive days while the primary use located on the same site is open for business. At all times, the vending vehicle must remain operable and have a clear path of egress from the property.

The vending vehicle must not be permanently affixed to the property and no structures may be permanently affixed to the vending vehicle or permanently affixed to the property for use by the vending vehicle. A temporary use permit will be
required for two or more vending vehicles located on the same site at the same time. Currently, SMC Section

10.26.060.B.3 allows vending vehicles to operate on private property with the property owner’s consent, but SMC Section

10.26.010 includes a finding that a vending vehicle parked for 10 minutes or longer may exacerbate traffic problems in highly congested areas and obstruct sidewalks. This new section is intended to clarify that a vending vehicle may operate for longer than 10 minutes when operating as an ancillary use as described above. City staff believes that this type of ancillary use is less likely to create the traffic problems mentioned in Section 10.26.010, as the vending vehicle
would be located on a site already used as a brewery, bar, etc. and would be subject to conditions prescribed by the Director.

Section 13.06.070 E Temporary Uses-Permit Required. Revised subsection E.2 to add submittal requirements and conditions for model
homes being used temporarily as offices.

Section 13.06.070.E Temporary Uses—Permit Required. In subsections E.3 and E.6, replaced references to “mobilehome” with “manufactured home” to be consistent with current City and State
terminology.

Chapter 13.10 Residential Districts
Section 13.10.030 Residential Use Regulations. Revised to replace the term “mobilehome” with “manufactured home” to be consistent with current City and State terminology. Added language to clarify that manufactured homes that are approved as ADUs are
subject only to the ADU Ordinance.

Table 13.10.040A Site Development Criteria, Basic Development Standards – Residential. Minor clerical revision to add a footnote to Minimum Lot Dimensions for the R-2 zone to clarify that the requirements related to minimum lot frontage for cul-de-sacs and 90-degree radius turn streets apply in the R-2 zone as well as the HL, R-1, R-1A zones (which all currently include the footnote).

Table 13.10.040E Site Development Criteria, Development Standards for Residential Lots Within a Planned Residential Development.

Revised footnote 2 to clarify that the 10-foot setback applies to buildings only, and not parking areas. Added a footnote to the front setback standard to require that the driveway for each required garage be a minimum of 20 feet long.

Section 13.10.050E Special Development Criteria, Fences, Walls, and Hedges.

Revised the Visibility Clearance Diagram to measure the sight distance triangle along the face of the curb and increase the distance from 10 feet to 30 feet.

Table 13.12.030A.B Commercial and office use regulations, Use Regulations for Commercial/Office Districts.

Revised subsection B.10.d to expand the washing and / or express car wash use to also include full service car wash and self-service car wash, and to change all of these uses from requiring a Minor CUP in the NC zone to requiring a CUP in that zone, and from being permitted by right in the General Commercial (GC) zone to requiring a CUP in that zone due to the impacts of this type of use on the surrounding community. 60139.00151\41172229.3

STAFF REPORT
16 Added new subsection B.59 to allow self-storage and public storage with a conditional use permit in the GC zone.

Revised subsection B.68 to change “tattoo parlor or body piercing salon” to “tattoo parlor and / or body piercing salon” and to permit this use by right in the GC zone. It had
previously been prohibited except in the Light Industrial zone.

This change reflects the changing nature of the tattoo use, including the rise in popularity of microblading and permanent makeup.

Section 13.12.030.G Commercial and office use regulations, Condition of Uses.

Revised subsection G.5 to remove language related to
parking requirements for food establishments with accessory eating. This language has been moved (without any changes) to Section 13.24.040, which sets forth parking requirements.

disabilities.”

Section 13.24.030.A,D Design standards. Revised subsections A.2 and D.3 to replace references to “handicapped” parking spaces with parking spaces “for persons with disabilities." Also updated the reference in subsection D.3 to refer to the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 2.

Section 13.24.040.A Parking Requirements, Residential. Revised subsection A.2 to replace “Cluster development (condominium, town home, etc.) semi-detached single-family (zero lot line, patio homes, duplexes, etc.) apartments” with “Multifamily development” to more accurately reflect the use. Also revised the off-street uncovered parking requirements to provide that for Planned Residential Developments, private on-street parking may be substituted for visitor parking, where sufficient street pavement width and distance between driveways has been

SECTION 3. CEQA. Based upon the whole of the administrative record before it, the City Council hereby finds that the amendment of the Santee Municipal Code as set forth in this Ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (Pub. Res. Code, § 21000 et seq.) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.) sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(5). An activity is subject to CEQA only if that activity has “the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3).) An activity is thus exempt from CEQA “[w]here it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” (Ibid.) Here, the amendment of the Santee Municipal Code as set forth in this Ordinance does not have the potential to result in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3).) Moreover, approval of the Ordinance constitutes an administrative activity of the City and is additionally exempt from CEQA on that basis.

Staff is hereby directed to prepare, execute and file with the San Diego County Clerk a CEQA Notice of Exemption within five (5) working days after the adoption of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. Codification. The City has adopted the “City of Santee Municipal Code Editorial Guidelines,” and, except as otherwise provided herein, authorizes Quality Code Publishing to make technical, non-substantive changes to conform the codified Ordinance to the guidelines. In the event a substantive conflict arises on the basis of the changes authorized by this Section, the language adopted by this Ordinance prevails. The City Clerk is authorized to provide certified copies and notice of this Ordinance or any part of this Ordinance required or advised by the law or any regulation.

SECTION 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council of the City of Santee hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrases be declared unconstitutional.

SECTION 6. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its adoption.

The City has the discretion to approve the financial assurance if it meets the requirements of this article, SMARA, and State regulations.

D. The amount of the financial assurance must be based upon 100% of the estimated cost of reclamation plus a 10% contingency for the actual amount required to reclaim lands disturbed by surface mining activities since January 1, 1976, all new lands to be disturbed by surface mining activities in the upcoming year and areas not successfully reclaimed pursuant to the approved reclamation plan. The estimate must also include any maintenance of reclaimed areas as may be required. Cost estimates must be prepared by a California registered Professional Engineer and/or other similarly licensed and qualified professionals retained by the operator and approved by the Director and / or the Director of Planning and Building, as applicable. The estimated amount of the financial assurance must be based on an analysis of physical activities necessary to implement the approved reclamation plan, the unit costs for each of these activities, the number of units of each of these activities, and the actual administrative costs. Financial assurances to ensure compliance with establishing revegetation, restoration of water bodies, restoration of aquatic or wildlife habitat, and any other applicable element of the approved reclamation plan must be based upon cost estimates that include, but may not be limited to, labor, equipment, materials, mobilization of equipment, administration, and reasonable profit by a commercial operator other than the permittee.

E. In addition to the amount specified in subsection D of this section, the security instrument must provide that in the event suit is brought by the City and judgment recovered, the surety or financial institution must pay, in addition to the sum specified, all costs incurred by the City in such suit including a reasonable attorney’s fee to be fixed by the court.

F. In projecting the costs of financial assurances, it must be assumed without prejudice or insinuation that the surface mining operation could be abandoned by the operator and, consequently, the City or State Department of Conservation may need to contract with a third party commercial company for reclamation of the site. 60139.00151\41319381.2
G. The financial assurances must remain in effect for the duration of the surface mining operation and any additional period until reclamation is completed, including any required maintenance and establishment period. Upon completion of the surface mining and reclamation of mined lands in accordance with the approved reclamation plan, including maintenance and establishment periods, all financial assurances will be released, otherwise they must remain in full force and effect.

H. The City will annually review amount of financial assurances required of a surface mining operation for any one year to account for new lands disturbed by surface mining operations, inflation, and reclamation of lands accomplished in accordance with the approved reclamation plan. The financial assurances must include estimates to cover reclamation for existing conditions and anticipated activities during the upcoming year, excepting that the permittee may not claim credit for reclamation scheduled for completion during the coming year.

I. When requested, revised estimates for the financial assurances must be submitted to the Director and / or the Director of Planning and Building, as applicable, at the time of filing of the mine operator’s annual mining operation report. The estimate must cover the cost of existing disturbance and anticipated activities for the next calendar year, including any required interim reclamation. (Ord. 564 § 3, 2019) …

B. Authority. The Director is authorized to grant a reasonable accommodation request in accordance with the procedures in this section in order to make specific housing available to individuals with disabilities.

C. Application. Any individual with a disability or person acting on their behalf may submit a request in writing to the Department for reasonable accommodation in the rules, policies, practices, and procedures regulating the siting, funding, development or use of housing. A reasonable accommodation request may include, but is not limited to yard area encroachments for ramps, handrails, or other such accessibility improvements; hardscape additions, such as widened driveways, parking area or walkways that would not otherwise comply with required landscaping or open space area provisions; and building addition(s) required strictly for accessibility accommodation. If an applicant needs assistance in making the request or any appeals associated with the request, the Department shall provide reasonable assistance necessary to ensure the process is accessible to the applicant. No application fee shall be collected for reasonable accommodation requests filed pursuant to this section.

D. Review Process. When a request for reasonable accommodation is filed with the Department it is referred to the Director for review and consideration. If necessary to reach a determination on the request for reasonable accommodation, the Director may request further information from the applicant consistent with the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, specifying in detail what information is required. Not more than 30 days after receiving a written request for reasonable accommodation, the Director shall issue a written determination on the request. In the event that the Director requests further information pursuant to the paragraph above, this 30-day period shall be suspended. Once the applicant provides a complete response to the request, a new 30-day period shall begin.

E. Findings. The Director shall consider the following criteria when determining whether a requested accommodation is reasonable:

2. The accommodation is necessary to make a specific dwelling unit(s) available to an individual protected under the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988.

3. The requested accommodation would not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City.

4. The requested accommodation would not require a fundamental alteration in the nature of a program, policy, and/or procedure.

F. Written Determination. The Director’s written determination on the request for reasonable accommodation shall explain in detail the basis of the determination, including the findings on the criteria set forth subsection E. All written determinations shall give notice of the right to appeal as set forth in subsection G, and shall state whether removal of the improvements will be required if the need for which the accommodation was granted no longer exists and removal would not constitute an unreasonable financial burden.

G. Appeals.

1. Within 30 days of the date of the Director’s written decision, an applicant may appeal an adverse decision to the City Council. Appeals from the adverse decision shall be made in writing.

2. If an individual needs assistance in filing an appeal on an adverse decision, the City will provide assistance to ensure that the appeals process is accessible.

3. All appeals shall contain a statement of the grounds for the appeal. Any information identified by an applicant as confidential shall be retained in a manner so as to respect the privacy rights of the applicant and shall not be made available for public inspection.

a. Walls. Low profile walls, three and one-half feet in height, shall consist of stone, brick or similar types of decorative solid masonry materials. b. Planting. Plant materials, when used as a screen, shall consist of compact evergreen plants. They shall be of a kind, or used in such a manner, so as to provide screening, have a minimum height of three and one-half feet, within 18 months after initial installation, or screening as per subdivision (a), (b) or (c) shall be installed. c. Berms. Earthen berm at least three and one-half feet above grade. d. In order to allow police surveillance into parking lots, the screening requirements in subdivisions (a), (b) and (c) above shall be designed to provide for view corridors into the site from adjacent streets and properties to the satisfaction of the Director.

9. Striping. All parking stalls shall be clearly outlined with single lines on the surface of the parking facility or any other permanent space designator (trees, shrubs, etc.) approved by the Director. In all parking facilities all aisles, approach lanes, and maneuvering areas shall be clearly marked with directional arrows and lines to expedite traffic movement.

10. Maneuvering. Parking and maneuvering areas shall be arranged so that any vehicle entering a public right-of-way can do so traveling in a forward direction, except for single-family residential districts.

B. Residential.
