Note:

Source: HdL Coren and Cone, Orange County Assessor Combined Tax Rolls In 1978, the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year the assessed value of property may be increased by an inflation factor (limited to a maximum increase of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only reassessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is reassessed at the purchase price of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above.

June 2, 2026
To the Honorable City Council
City of Yorba Linda, California
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Yorba Linda (the entity) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and have issued our report thereon dated June 2, 2026. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.

Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit As communicated in our engagement letter dated April 24, 2025, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to form and express opinions about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.

Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of the system of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the system of internal control of the entity solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.

We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process.

However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.

Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to you.

Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, and our firm have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.

We have evaluated whether certain nonattest services performed by our firm during the audit have created a significant threat to our independence in relation to the entity. We have identified a threat to our independence (preparation of the entity’s financial statements, creating a self-review threat) that if not reduced to an acceptable level, would impair our independence. In order to reduce the threat to an acceptable level, we have applied the following safeguard:

Prior to the issuance of the entity’s financial statements, another partner or manager, independent of the engagement, will review the financial statements.

Significant Risks Identified
We have identified the possibility of the following significant risks:

Management's override of internal controls over financial reporting – Management override of internal controls is the intervention by management in handling financial information and making decisions contrary to internal control policy.

Revenue recognition – Revenue recognition is a generally accepted accounting principle that refers to the conditions under which an entity can recognize a transaction as revenue. Auditing standards indicate that recognizing revenue is a presumed fraud risk and usually classified as a significant risk in most audits.

These significant risks are presumptive in most audits and merit attention by the auditors due to the direct impact over financial reporting and internal control processes. Although identified as significant risks, we noted no matters of management override of controls or deviations from generally accepted accounting principles which caused us to modify our audit procedures or any related matters which are required to be communicated to those charged with governance due to these identified risks.

Qualitative Aspects of the Entity’s Significant Accounting Practices Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the entity is included in Note 1 to the financial statements. “The City adopted GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences during 2025. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures Accounting estimates and related disclosures are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management’s current judgments.

The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the entity’s financial statements are:

Management’s estimate of the net pension liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources are based on actuarial reports by independent actuaries. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.

Management’s estimate of the liability for other post-employment benefits (OPEB) and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources are based on actuarial reports provided by independent actuaries. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.

Management’s estimate of the modified approach for infrastructure assets are based on the pavement management program by independent consultant. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.

Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users.

The most sensitive disclosures affecting the entity’s financial statements relate to:

The disclosure of fair value of investments in the basic financial statements represents amounts susceptible to market fluctuations.

The disclosure of capital assets (and related accumulated depreciation) in the basic financial statements is based on historical information which could differ from actual useful lives of each capitalized item.

The disclosure of net pension liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources in the basic financial statements is based on actuarial assumptions. Actual future liabilities and actuarial deferred inflows and outflows may vary from disclosed estimates.

The disclosures of the other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources in the basic financial statements is based on actuarial assumptions.

Actual future liabilities and actuarial deferred inflows and outflows may vary from disclosed estimates.

The disclosure of leases and subscription liabilities, right-to-use assets, and asset amortization in the basic financial statements is based on certain terms and assumptions in the agreements which could differ from actual amounts.

Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.

Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. There were no uncorrected misstatements noted.

In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. Attachment A reflects all misstatements that we identified as a result of our audit procedures that were brought to the attention of, and corrected by, management.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the entity’s financial statements or the auditor’s report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.

Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the attached letter dated June 2, 2026.

Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.

Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the entity, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, significant events or transactions that occurred during the year, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the entity’s auditors.

Other Information Included in Annual Reports
Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information, whether financial or nonfinancial, included in the entity’s annual reports, does not extend beyond the information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate such other information.

However, in accordance with such standards, we have:

Read the transmittal letter and statistical section and considered whether a material inconsistency existed between the other the information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.

Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a material misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent with the information, or manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of the entity and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Very truly yours,

Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND

OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH

GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable City Council
City of Yorba Linda, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards), the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Yorba Linda (the entity), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the entity’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 2, 2026.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the entity’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the entity’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Page 677 of 989 ends

Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NATE FARNSWORTH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
PREPARED BY: BOBBY AVINA, COMMUNITY PRESERVATION

MANAGER
SUBJECT: DECLARE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND ABATE HAZARDOUS FIRE

CONDITIONS

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2026-6000 declaring weeds, rubbish, refuse, and dirt on certain properties a public nuisance and ordering abatement.

SUMMARY
The recommended Resolution authorizes abatement of hazardous fire conditions on five properties that have repeatedly failed to participate in the City’s Weed Abatement Program.

DISCUSSION
The City’s Weed Abatement Program aims to reduce hazardous fire conditions before peak fire season. Every year approximately 1,130 properties receive notices requiring weeds and vegetation to be removed before peak fire season. Most property owners voluntarily comply with outreach, inspections, and some follow-up notices. Unfortunately, approximately five properties consistently fail to comply, requiring the City to take additional enforcement efforts. These properties are identified in Attachment 1.

State law authorizes cities to declare weeds, rubbish, refuse, and dirt on private property a public nuisance and establishes a hearing process that cities must undertake before performing abatement activities. On June 2, 2026, the City Council declared its intent to deem five properties a public nuisance and scheduled this public hearing to formally deem the properties a public nuisance. The Community Development Department and City Attorney are investigating options to ensure that properties that chronically fail to comply with the Weed Abatement Program are mitigated earlier in the year.

Page 701 of 989 ends

DECLARE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND ABATE HAZARDOUS FIRE CONDITIONS P a g e | 2

FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s cost to remove weeds and vegetation from these properties is expected to cost less than $10,000. The City will recover its costs through liens on non-compliant properties.

ALTERNATIVES
Do not approve the recommended action and provide alternative direction.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: JUNE 16, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NATE FARNSWORTH, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PREPARED BY: CHRIS DOMINGUEZ, PLANNING MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2026-01 – SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATE

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2026-6001 approving General Plan Amendment 2026-01 to revise the Public Health and Safety Element.

SUMMARY
The recommended update brings the Public Health and Safety Element of the General Plan into compliance with State wildfire planning requirements, incorporates the City's 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, and preserves eligibility for AB 2140 disaster cost-sharing benefits.

The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval.

DISCUSSION
State law requires cities to review and update their Safety Element when updating the Housing Element to ensure the document adequately addresses wildfire hazards, evacuation planning, and related public safety risks. The City completed its Housing Element update in 2024 and must now update the Public Health and Safety Element to maintain compliance with State law.

The recommended amendment is a focused update rather than a comprehensive rewrite of the Safety Element. The amendment incorporates:
• Updated CalFIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps released in 2025 • Current wildfire hazard and risk information
• Updated evacuation planning information
• The City's 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

Page 709 of 989 ends

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2026-01 – SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATE
P a g e | 2
Incorporating the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan provides an additional benefit. Under Assembly Bill 2140, cities that incorporate an adopted Local Hazard Mitigation Plan into their Safety Element may qualify for additional State disaster recovery funding following a major disaster.

The amendment was prepared with assistance from Michael Baker International and reviewed by CalFIRE. CalFIRE confirmed the document satisfies applicable State fire safety planning requirements. The Planning Commission reviewed the amendment on May 13, 2026, and unanimously recommended approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that the amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The amendment maintains eligibility for disaster cost-sharing benefits, which could substantially offset the City's share of recovery costs.

ALTERNATIVES
Do not approve the recommendation and provide alternative direction.

ABSENT (1): Chavez Marquez
CARRIED (4 to 0)

7.3 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2026-01 – SAFETY ELEMENT

AMENDMENT
Chris Dominguez, Planning Manager, explained after there is an update to the housing element the city must evaluate its safety element for wildfire considerations.

Noelle Anderson of Michael Baker International provided a visual on the Safety Element. She provided a brief summary of updated areas of focus where the safety element needed to demonstrate compliance. The most important integration is under the AB 2140 which integrates the hazard mitigation plan because there is a financial component associated with it.

Should there be a disaster in Yorba Linda, it would be eligible for the 6.25% cost share under the FEMA public assistance.

The key updates were policy updates on the wildfire section, incorporation of the new wildfire hazard zones and hazard mitigation plan, along with incorporating the city's new access and evacuation zone maps as well as identifying neighborhoods with limited egress.

The purpose of the safety element is to drive policy and help decisionmaking and not a document that you would open in the case of an emergency. It summarizes actions that have already been implemented and taken place by other departments.

Commissioner Masterson stated his main concern is at Carbon Canyon State Park and just out of the city limits which has a lot of brush which

Page 711 of 989 ends

8 cannot be cleared due to certain environmental issues and he doesn't think there are any mediation in the plans to address it.

Ms. Sanders stated there is limited ability to control it, however, they did coordinate with state parks and the hazard mitigation plan and let them know that it was a concern. State law has been evolving on wildfire fuel as it relates to sensitive species and there has been increase flexibility and decreased regulation.

Chair Masterson opened the public hearing; seeing no one approach the public hearing was closed.

Mr. Dominguez stated staff's recommendation is that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt General Plan Amendment 2026-01 to revise the General Plan Public Safety Element.

CAR WASH
Alexis Garcia, Associate Planner, provided a visual presentation for a car wash that was previously approved on January 11, 1978. The site has been vacant since its closure in 2024 and the applicant would like to demolish the existing structures and replace it with a 4,492-foot wash structure, new car wash tunnel, self-serve vacuum stalls, equipment room, break room, and cashier's office.

Site constraints include new utility easements, enforceable by the Yorba Linda Water District along Imperial Highway and the western property line.

Additionally, the Fire Authority also required a hammerhead turnaround for emergency vehicles.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-6001

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

YORBA LINDA APPROVING GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT 2026-01 RELATED TO AN UPDATE OF THE

PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY ELEMENT
WHEREAS, under California law, every city must adopt a general plan, which must include specified mandatory elements, in furtherance of the State policy to provide a comprehensive, long-term plan for the physical development and use of property within a city’s jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, on October 28, 2016, the City of Yorba Linda (City) adopted its current General Plan (General Plan); and
WHEREAS, the City may amend all or part of its adopted General Plan to promote the public interest up to four times during any calendar year pursuant to Government Code Section 65358; and
WHEREAS, under California law, Government Code Section 65302 et seq., every city in the State is required to review and update the safety element of a general plan to ensure cities and counties plan for wildfire risk, evacuation, and climate-driven hazards; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment to specified provisions in the General Plan Public Health and Safety Element, as identified in Exhibit “A” attached to this Resolution and incorporated herein by this reference (“General Plan Amendment 2026-01”) are necessary to ensure that the City’s General Plan is updated as required by State law; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that General Plan Amendment 2026- 01 does not constitute a “Major Amendment” as defined in the Yorba Linda Right-to-Vote Amendment (Measure B) and is therefore not subject to the approval of a majority vote of the electorate of the City to become effective; and
WHEREAS, notices of a public hearing were published, posted, and delivered in accordance with State and City laws for the consideration by the City Council of the proposed amendments to the General Plan (referred to herein as General Plan Amendment 2026-01); and
WHEREAS, in accordance with State and City laws, on May 13, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to receive public testimony with respect to General Plan Amendment 2026-01 and unanimously recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments; and
WHEREAS, on June 16, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing concerning General Plan Amendment 2026-01; and,
WHEREAS, after consideration of the staff report and all information, testimony, and evidence presented at the public hearing, the City Council finds and determines as follows:

Section 1. The City Council determines that the proposed amendments to the General Plan Public Health and Safety Element are exempt from the provisions of the

Page 713 of 989 ends

RESOLUTION NO.

PAGE NO. 2
California Environmental Quality Act (hereinafter “CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15601(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, in that the proposed project will have no significant effect on the environment.

Section 2. The findings in support of the update to the General Plan are as follows:

A. The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with other elements of the City’s General Plan pursuant to Government Code Section 65300.5.

The proposed amendments to the Public Health and Safety Element are required by State law following prior adoption of the 2021-2029 Housing Element pursuant to Government Code Section 65302(g)(3).

B. The proposed General Plan Amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. The General Plan Amendment addresses risk of fire for land classified as state responsibility areas, as defined in Section 4102 of the Public Resources Code, and land classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, as defined in Section 51177.

Section 3. The City Council hereby accepts the recommendation of the Planning Commission to adopt General Plan Amendment 2026-01, including incorporation of the City’s 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan into the General Plan Public Health and Safety Element.

Section 4. The City Council hereby finds that General Plan Amendment 2026- 01 is not a “Major Amendment” as defined in the Yorba Linda Right-to-Vote Amendment (Measure B), and is therefore not subject to the approval of a majority vote of the electorate of the City to become effective, because General Plan Amendment 2026-01 does not result in any of the changes identified in Section 18.01.030(A) of the Yorba Linda Municipal Code. Specifically, General Plan Amendment 2026-01 does not: (1) increase the number of residential units which may be constructed on a parcel designated for residential uses; (2) increase the number of separate parcels which may be created from an existing parcel; (3) change any residential land use to allow any other land use; (4) change any non-residential land use to allow any residential land use greater than ten (10) net dwelling units per acre or allow a mix of commercial and residential uses; (5) increase the allowed maximum height of development; (6) provide for the private development of land owned by a government entity within five years of the date of the approval to develop the land; or (7) repeal any “Planning Policy Document” as defined in Section18.01.02 of the Yorba Linda Municipal Code.

Section 5. The City Council approves General Plan Amendment 2026-01 in its amended form as contained in Exhibit A as presented to the City Council on the date of this Resolution and on file with the City Clerk.

Section 6. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Resolution is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution. The City Council of the City of Yorba Linda hereby declares that it would have adopted this Resolution and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections,

Page 714 of 989 ends

subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof may be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SUBJECT: APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 2026-5996 CONFIRMING THE FY 2026-27

LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT DIAGRAM AND

ASSESSMENTS

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution No. 2026-5996 confirming the diagram boundaries and assessments for FY 2026-27 for the Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District, overruling all protests concerning the assessments, and levying the assessments.

SUMMARY
The City levies annual assessments through the Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District (LMAD) to maintain and operate public landscaping, street lighting, traffic signals, and related infrastructure. The recommended resolution confirms FY 2026- 27 assessments of $11,180,144, an increase of $984,343 over the $10,195,801 levied in FY 2025-26.

DISCUSSION
The LMAD was authorized by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and is levied annually in compliance with Article XIII D of the California Constitution (Proposition 218).

The LMAD includes several lighting, traffic signal, and unique landscaping zones that provide special benefits to properties within the district.

The City Council approved the FY 2026-27 Engineer’s Report at its June 2, 2026 meeting, The Report describes the LMAD’s improvements, costs, and assessments for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026.

The increase from the prior year is primarily due to the new assessment for Local Landscaping Zone L-1A and the annual update of district costs and funding needs identified in the Engineer’s Report.

Yorba Linda Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2026/2027

Page 1 ends

Introduction
The City of Yorba Linda (“City”), under the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”) and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D (“California Constitution”), annually levies and collects special assessments for the City’s maintenance assessment district designated as:

Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District
(“District”) in order to provide and maintain various landscaping and lighting improvements throughout the City that provide special benefits to properties within the City.

In accordance with the 1972 Act, the District utilizes benefit zones (“Zones”) to address variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements that provide special benefits to parcels in the District. Within the boundaries of the District, parcels are assigned to various Zones, each of which is associated with a set of improvements and/or type of improvements that provide special benefit to properties within that Zone.

In fiscal year 2025/2026, the District was comprised of the following Zones:
 Nine Arterial Landscaping Zones (A-1 through A-9);
 Thirty-three Local Landscaping Zones:
 L-1A through L-1E;
 L-2A through L-2V;
 Zone L-3;
 L-4A and L-4B; and
 L-5A, L-5B and L-5C;
 A single citywide Arterial Street Lighting Zone;
 A non-contiguous Local Street Lighting Zone; and
 Three Traffic Signal Zones (TS-1, TS-2, and TS-3).

District Changes for Fiscal Year 2026/2027
On May 5, 2026, in accordance with the 1972 Act and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D, the City Council conducted a public hearing and completed the Property Owner Protest Ballot Proceeding for a new/increased assessment within Local Landscaping Zone L-1A that resulted in the approval of a new maximum assessment and new assessment range formula (increased assessments) commencing in fiscal year 2026/2027.

In addition, as part of the ongoing annual review of the improvements associated with each zone, the assessment diagram for Local Landscaping Zone L-2J was updated to reflect the addition of two tree maintenance only areas on the south side of Via Sepulveda, one area located between Yorba Ranch Road and Via Ontiveros and the other just southwest of Via Ontiveros.

No other notable or consequential changes to the District and/or improvements have occurred since the adoption of the fiscal year 2025/2026 Engineer’s Report.

Report Content and Annual Proceedings
This Engineer’s Annual Report (“Report”) has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 and Chapter 3 of the 1972 Act, and presented to the City Council for their consideration and approval of the proposed improvements and services to be provided within the District and the levy and collection of annual assessments related thereto for fiscal year 2026/2027. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone of this Report is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Report and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, portions, zones, or subzones might subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

This Report outlines the District Zone structure, the improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied in connection with the benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for fiscal year 2026/2027. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within the District provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of landscaping and lighting improvements within various zones of benefit (“Zones”) that provide special benefits to the properties within the District and each respective Zone. Each fiscal year, the City establishes the District’s assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate, and service the improvements and based upon available revenues including fund balances, general benefit contributions and additional City contributions and assessment limits. The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District may include, but are not limited to the estimated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District; deficits or surpluses from prior years; revenues from other sources; and the collection of funds for operational reserves or for periodic maintenance and improvement rehabilitation projects as authorized by the 1972 Act.

Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services, and expenses for which the parcel will receive special benefit.

Each Zone outlined in this Report reflects the various improvements and the types of improvements and services to be provided by the District for the properties that are directly associated with and benefit from those improvements. The net annual cost to provide the improvements in each Zone is based on the various improvements and the types of improvements and services to be provided by the District and the net special benefit cost of providing those improvements and services are allocated to the benefiting properties within the Zone using a weighted method of apportionment (refer to Assessment Methodology in Part II, Method of Apportionment) that calculates the proportional special benefit and assessment for each parcel as compared to other properties that benefit from the District improvements and services.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Orange County Assessor’s Office. The Orange County Auditor/Controller uses APNs and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the District assessments.

At a noticed annual Public Hearing, the City Council will accept all public comments and written protests regarding the District and the annual levy of assessments. Based on those public comments and written protests, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments the Council will, by Resolution, order the improvements to be made and confirm the levy and collection of assessments pursuant to the 1972 Act. The assessments as approved will

Yorba Linda Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2026/2027

Page 3 ends

be submitted to the Orange County Auditor/Controller to be included on the property tax roll for each parcel.

As required by the 1972 Act, this Engineer’s Report describes the improvements to be provided, maintained, and serviced by the District, an estimated budget for the District improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District for fiscal year 2026/2027.

While the budgets outlined in this Report reflect the estimated costs necessary to fully and adequately provide for the maintenance and operation of the improvements within the District, in some circumstances the estimated costs and associated services cannot be fully funded by the combination of the current special benefit assessment revenues and the City contribution for general benefits. Therefore, in addition to the City’s contribution for general benefit costs, on a case by case basis, at the discretion of the City Council, the City may also provide additional funding to support the improvements and/or implement service reductions for the fiscal year. To fully fund the improvements that are considered special benefits, it may be necessary in the future to increase assessment revenues which would require the support of the property owners for new or increased assessments through a ballot proceeding conducted under the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D.

This Report consists of five (5) parts:

Part I
Plans and Specifications: This section provides a general description of the District and the improvements for which parcels are assessed. The proposed assessments as outlined in this Report are based on the improvements and appurtenant facilities that provide a special benefit to the properties within the District and generally consist of local and arterial landscaping improvements, arterial and local street lighting, traffic signals and operational expenses authorized pursuant to the 1972 Act. The plans and specifications contained in this Report generally describe the nature and extent of the improvements. In conjunction with these general descriptions of the improvements a visual depiction of the landscape improvement areas is provided in “Part V - Assessment Diagrams” of this Report. More detailed information regarding the specific plans and specifications associated with the District improvements in each Zone may be on file in the Public Works Department and by reference are made part of this Report.

Part II
Method of Apportionment: This section includes a discussion of the general and special benefits associated with the various improvements to be provided within the District (Benefit Analysis), which includes a discussion of the proportional costs of the special benefits and a separation of costs considered to be of general benefit (and therefore not assessed). This section of the Report also outlines the method of calculating each property’s proportional special benefit necessary to calculate the property’s annual assessment. This method of apportionment is consistent with the previously adopted method of apportionment for the District that was approved by the property owners in a protest ballot proceeding conducted in 1997 as well as subsequent Property Owner Protest Ballot Proceedings conducted for increased assessments in individual Zones pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D.

Page 763 of 989 ends

Yorba Linda Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2026/2027

Page 4 ends

Part III
Estimate of Costs: An estimate of the annual costs to operate, maintain, and service the landscaping and lighting improvements and appurtenant facilities. The budget for each Zone includes an estimate of the maintenance costs and incidental expenses including, but not limited to, labor, materials, utilities, equipment, and administration expenses as well as the collection of other appropriate funding authorized by the 1972 Act, and deemed necessary to fully support the improvements, even though not all costs identified in these budgets are necessarily supported by the current assessment revenues. Those improvements and/or costs determined to be of general benefit shall be funded by a City contribution. In addition to the general benefit costs, the City may provide additional funding to support the maintenance and operation of the improvements that are considered to be of special benefit, but City staff shall make the determination of which improvements, and the extent of the services and activities that shall be provided based on available revenues.

Part IV
Assessment Roll: The assessment amounts to be levied and collected in fiscal year 2026/2027 for each parcel is based on the parcel’s calculated proportional special benefit as outlined in “Part II - Method of Apportionment” and the annual assessment rates established by the estimated budgets in “Part III - Estimate of Costs” of this Report. Due to the number of parcels within the District, the Assessment Roll for fiscal year 2026/2027 has been filed electronically with the City Clerk rather than displayed in this Report and by reference the listing of the Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and the corresponding assessment amounts are made part of this Report.

Part V
Assessment Diagrams: This section of the Report contains a series of diagrams showing the boundaries of the Zones within the District for fiscal year 2026/2027 which incorporate the parcels determined to receive special benefits from the various District improvements. For those Zones that provide landscape improvements, the diagrams also provide a visual depiction of the location and extent of the landscaped areas being maintained. Parcel identification, the lines and dimensions of each lot, parcel, and subdivision of land within the District and Zones are shown on the Orange County Assessor’s Parcel Maps and shall include any subsequent lot line adjustments or parcel changes therein. Reference is hereby made to the Orange County Assessor’s Parcel Maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of each lot and parcel of land within the District.

Part I - Plans and Specifications
The territory within the District consists of all lots or parcels of land within the City of Yorba Linda and the boundaries of the District are coterminous with the City boundaries. The purpose of this District is to provide in part, through annual assessments, funding for the ongoing operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, street lighting, traffic signal improvements, and related facilities and services in various areas throughout the City. Improvements currently provided within the District generally include, but are not limited to:
 Landscape improvements within the street medians and parkway side-panels, including parkways, slopes, and entryways; and various non-street landscaping including greenbelt areas, slopes, local trails, and open space areas within various landscape zones. These landscape improvements and areas may include but are not limited to various combinations of trees; turf; ground cover; shrubs, plantings and other amenities including retaining walls, monuments, fencing, sidewalks, stamped concrete, or pavers; irrigation and drainage systems; and related appurtenances.
 Lighting facilities on the public streets within the City, including both street lights and traffic signals. These lighting improvements may include but are not limited to street lights located on the City’s arterial streets, traffic signals located throughout the City and local street lights within or adjacent to the various developments and subdivisions.

Zones of Benefit
In accordance with the 1972 Act, the District utilizes Zones to address variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements that provide special benefits to parcels in the District.

Within the boundaries of the District, parcels are assigned to benefit zones, each of which is associated with a set of improvements and/or type of improvements that provide special benefit to properties within that Zone.

Prior to fiscal year 2012/2013, the District included twelve (12) designated Zones in order to identify and budget for the various improvements being provided within the District and the relationship and benefits to properties within the District. These twelve (12) Zones included a citywide Arterial Landscaping Zone and Arterial Street Lighting Zone; three (3) Traffic Signal Zones (TS-1, TS-2, and TS-3); a noncontiguous Local Street Lighting Zone; and six (6) Local Landscaping Zones designated as L-1, L-2, L-3, L-4, L-5 and L-5A. Commencing in fiscal year 2012/2013, an ongoing annual review and evaluation of the improvements and properties within the District has been conducted. As a result, several modifications have been implemented in the District to clarify and more clearly identify the specific improvements directly associated with and that provide special benefits to the properties within the District as well as the general benefits associated with those improvements. The implementation of these changes since fiscal year 2012/2013 has reorganized the previously established twelve (12) Zones into forty-seven (47) Zones without directly facilitating an increase to the previously approved maximum assessment rates in most cases.

Page 6 ends

For fiscal year 2026/2027, the District continues to be comprised of forty-seven (47) benefit zones (Zones) including:
 Nine Arterial Landscaping Zones (A-1 through A-9);
 Thirty-three Local Landscaping Zones:
 L-1A, through L-1E;
 L-2A through L-2V;
 Zone L-3;
 L-4A and L-4B; and
 L-5A, L-5B and L-5C;
 A single citywide Arterial Street Lighting Zone;
 A non-contiguous Local Street Lighting Zone; and
 Three Traffic Signal Zones (TS-1, TS-2, and TS-3).

Description of Improvements
As authorized by the 1972 Act, the improvements provided by the District and associated with each Zone incorporate various landscaping or lighting improvements that are maintained and serviced for the benefit of real property within the District. The maintenance of the landscape improvements may also include various appurtenances that may include but are not limited to entry monuments; various types of fencing; retaining walls; ornamental lighting or other ornamental fixtures; signage; and irrigation, drainage, and electrical equipment. In most cases, these improvements were either installed in direct connection with the development of properties within the Zones or were installed for the benefit of those properties as a result of property development or potential development of those properties and were considered necessary for the development of those properties to their full and best use. The work to be performed within each respective Zone may include but is not limited to (as applicable), the personnel, materials, equipment, electricity, water, contract services, repair and rehabilitation of the improvements and incidental expenses required to operate the District and provide improvements and services for each Zone. The improvements provided within the District and for which parcels receive special benefits are generally described in the following.

Street Light Improvements
The street lighting system in the City of Yorba Linda currently consists of 6,172 street lights (mostly Edison-owned) and the cost of operating and maintaining the street lights including energy costs are funded in part by the District’s annual assessments. Within the District there are two (2) Street Light Zones, designated as the Arterial Street Lighting Zone and the Local Street Lighting Zone. The following is a summary of the two Zones and the street light improvements generally provided in each.

Arterial Street Lighting Zone
The boundaries of the Arterial Street Lighting Zone are coterminous with the City boundaries and all parcels within the City (excluding lots and parcels of land identified as exempt) are proportionately assessed for the net-special benefit costs for the operation and maintenance of

Landscape Improvements
Arterial Landscaping Zone
Within the District there are nine (9) designated Arterial Landscaping Zones (A-1 through A-9), the boundaries of which collectively are coterminous with the City boundaries. Each of these nine Arterial Landscaping Zones have been established to reflect the proportional special benefit properties within the District receive from the District maintained arterial landscaping improvements. The boundaries of each Arterial Landscaping Zone are based on the improvements being maintained through the District assessments and the relationship and proximity of the developments and properties that derive special benefit from those improvements. The location, extent and types of improvements and the proximity of the various parcels and developments to those improvements were evaluated in developing the boundaries of the nine Zones and proportional special benefit cost allocations and most of the Zones are separated by streets that are considered primary arterials or other thoroughfares that may be considered secondary arterials. Therefore, some improvements (specifically medians) may be located between two Zones, and those improvements would be shared by those two adjacent Zones. In such cases, the special benefit and cost of providing such improvements are proportionately shared by parcels in both Zones. However, because the extent and type of landscaping on either side of these streets (parkways, side panels, or adjacent landscape areas)

Yorba Linda Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2026/2027

Page 11 ends

may often be dramatically different, the special benefit and the costs associated with these improvements on primary arterial streets are assigned and allocated to the adjacent Arterial Landscaping Zone. On other thoroughfares (including secondary arterials) these parkways, side panels, or adjacent landscape areas, are typically funded by the abutting Local Landscaping Zone, instead of the Arterial Landscaping Zone. The following is a brief description and summary of the landscaped areas associated within each Arterial Landscaping Zone. A visual depiction of the location and extent of the improvement areas and Zone boundaries are provided in “Part V - Assessment Diagrams” of this Report. Within some of the Arterial Landscaping Zones there are landscape improvement areas (various parkway landscaping and/or greenbelt areas) that are not included as part of the Arterial Landscaping Zone assessments and are currently funded by the City. These improvement areas are distinguished in the Assessment Diagrams by a different color and are summarized in the following descriptions.

Local Landscaping Zones
For fiscal year 2026/2027, the District includes thirty-three (33) designated Local Landscaping Zones including L-1 (A through E), L-2 (A through V), L-3, L-4 (A and B), and L-5 (A, B and C).

The boundaries of each Local Landscaping Zone are established on the basis of the location, extent and types of improvements or similarities in the types of improvements being maintained through the District assessments as well as the particular and distinct benefits the various developments and properties derive from those improvements based on proximity to those specific improvements and the nexus between the development of the properties that required or facilitated the installation of those improvements. While most local landscaping improvements are specifically associated with specific developments or development areas, some improvements (most typically greenbelts and/or trails) may be located between two or more Zones and/or extend from one Zone to the next and those improvements may reasonably be considered shared improvements. In such cases, the special benefits and cost of providing such improvements are proportionately shared by parcels in each Zone. The following is a brief description and summary of the landscaped areas associated within each Local Landscaping Zone. A visual depiction of the location and extent of the landscape improvement areas and Zone boundaries are provided in “Part V - Assessment Diagrams” of this Report. In connection with these landscaped areas, the maintenance of the improvements within each Zone may also include various appurtenances such as entry monuments, fencing, retaining walls, ornamental lighting, signage, and related irrigation, drainage, and electrical equipment.

Local Landscaping Zone L-1A
The properties within this Local Landscaping Zone proportionately share and receive special benefit from the maintenance, servicing, and operation of approximately 1,665,380 square feet of designated landscape improvement area that incorporates an estimated 1,940 square feet of irrigated median landscaping and 735 square feet non-irrigated/hardscape median area; 1,348,150 square feet of sloped/mostly-sloped landscaped area including 1,333,900 square feet of irrigated landscaping and 14,250 square feet of non-irrigated area; and 314,555 square feet of flat/moderately-sloped landscaped area including 78,265 square feet of irrigated landscaped area, 185,905 square feet of non-irrigated reduced maintenance area, and 50,385 square feet of trails.

Local Landscaping Zone L-1B
The properties within this Local Landscaping Zone proportionately share and receive special benefit from the full maintenance, servicing, and operation of approximately 1,181,370 square feet of designated full maintenance landscape improvement area that incorporates an estimated 1,310 square feet of irrigated median landscaping; 1,135,990 square feet of irrigated sloped/mostly-sloped landscaped area; and 44,070 square feet of irrigated flat/moderately-sloped landscaped area.

Part II - Method of Apportionment
Legislative Authority and Provisions
1972 Act
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation and servicing of landscape improvements and related facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:

Section 22573 defines the net amount to be assessed as follows:
“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.”
Section 22574 provides for zones as follows:
“The diagram and assessment may classify various areas within an assessment district into different zones where, by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements.

A zone shall consist of all territory which will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements.”
The formulas used for calculating assessments and the designation of zones herein reflect the composition of parcels within the District and the improvements and activities to be provided, and have been designed to fairly apportion the cost of providing those improvements based on a determination of the proportional special benefits to each parcel, consistent with the requirements of the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218 and Article XIII D of the California Constitution.

California Constitution
The costs of the proposed improvements for fiscal year 2026/2027 have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit. The improvements provided by this District and for which properties are assessed are local improvements and related amenities that were installed in connection with the development of the properties or would otherwise be required for the development of properties within each respective Zone of the District. The assessments and method of apportionment are based on the premise that these improvements would otherwise not have been required without the development of those parcels within the District.

Article XIII D Section 2d defines District as follows:
“District” means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service.” Article XIII D Section 2i 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.”

Article XIII D Section 4a defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:
“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 capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.” Benefit Analysis
Special Benefits
The ongoing maintenance of landscaped areas within the District provides aesthetic benefits to the properties within each respective Zone and a more pleasant environment to walk, drive, live, and work. The primary function of the landscape improvements and related amenities is to serve as an aesthetically pleasing enhancement and green space for the benefit of the immediately surrounding properties and developments for which the improvements were constructed and installed and/or were facilitated by the development or potential development of properties within the Zones. These improvements are an integral part of the physical environment associated with the parcels in each Zone and while some of these improvements may in part be visible to properties outside the Zone, collectively if these Zone improvements are not properly maintained, it is the parcels within the Zone that would be aesthetically burdened. Additionally, the street landscaping in these Zones serves as both a physical buffer as well as a sound reduction buffer between the roadways and the properties in the District and also serves as a pleasant aesthetic amenity that enhances the approach to the parcels. Likewise, in many of the Zones, the landscaped areas include green space areas (slopes, greenbelts, and trails) that provide a physical buffer and open space between properties, and these areas serve as an extension of the physical attributes of the parcels assessed, such as their front or rear yards. These green space areas may also provide a greater opportunity for recreation. As a result, the maintenance of these landscape improvements provides particular and distinct benefits to the properties and developments within each Zone.

Likewise, street lighting in the District is primarily useful for illuminating the streets that provide access to the properties in the District as well as the sidewalks and parking lanes associated with those properties. While it is recognized that both street lights and traffic signals serve in part to enhance traffic safety, installation and construction of these improvements were clearly required by the development of properties within the district and these improvements provide three main special benefits to those properties: (i) property security benefit, (ii) pedestrian safety benefit, and (iii) parkway/roadway egress benefit. Furthermore, because traffic circulation in the City is largely the result of local traffic to and from these properties by the property owners and guests, it is reasonable to assume that these properties derive a particular and distinct benefit from the street lights and traffic signals that support the safe access to the properties and essentially all pedestrians and parking vehicles in the lit areas will, after dark, be directly associated with the assessed properties. As a result, the maintenance of these lighting improvements is a particular and distinct benefit to the properties and developments within each Zone.

General Benefit
General Benefit Within Landscaping Zones
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific landscaped areas and improvements to be funded by District assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, it is evident these improvements were primarily installed in connection with the development of properties in each respective Zone or are improvements that would otherwise be shared by and required for development of properties in those Zones. It is also evident that the maintenance of these improvements and the level of maintenance provided has a direct and particular impact (special benefit) on those properties in proximity to those improvements. Furthermore, this level of maintenance is beyond that which is required to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general, and such maintenance has no quantifiable benefit to the public at large or properties outside each respective Zone.

In the absence of a special funding Zone, the City would typically provide only limited tree management, minimal weed abatement, and as-needed rodent control and erosion control services for the various landscape easement areas. This baseline level of service would typically provide for periodic servicing of the improvement areas (generally twice annually) or on an asneeded basis. This baseline level of service provides for general public safety and essential property protection to avoid negative impacts on adjacent roadways and vehicles traveling on those roadways and potential property damage resulting from slope failures but results in a far less visually pleasing environment than is created with the enhanced levels of services associated with the regular landscape maintenance currently provided in the various District Zones.

Based on service provider cost estimates previously provided to the City, the cost to provide the baseline level of service for flat/moderately-sloped landscaped areas is currently estimated to be approximately $1,168 per acre ($0.026810 per square foot) including medians, parkway side panels, greenbelts, trails and/or areas identified natural vegetation or minimal/modified/fallowlandscaped areas; and approximately $1,667 per acre ($0.038268 per square foot) for slope landscaping. These baseline level service rates are approximately 3.16% greater than the rates applied in the previous fiscal year.

This baseline servicing, unlike the enhanced aesthetic services funded through the District assessments, would provide benefits to the general public and to the properties both within and outside of the specific benefit zones. The cost of providing these baseline services along with a five percent (5%) cost factor for City overhead and administration is treated as the cost of general benefits from landscape maintenance services. Therefore, for flat/moderately-sloped landscaped areas a rate of $0.028151 per square foot ($0.026810 + 5%) is applied to calculate the general benefit costs for the assessed improvements and for sloped landscaped areas a rate of $0.040181 per square foot ($0.038268 + 5%) is applied to calculate the general benefit costs for the assessed improvements.

Utilizing the per square foot costs outlined above and the square footage of the improvement areas in each Zone, the following table summarizes the current estimated general benefit costs calculated for each District Landscape Zone (both local and arterial zones).

Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Estimated General Benefit Landscaping Costs

(1) As with most landscape maintenance costs, the General Benefit Costs shown above are impacted by inflation and for fiscal year 2026/2027 and in subsequent fiscal years the General Benefit Cost contributions are adjusted for inflation.

Other Landscaping General Benefits
In addition to the general benefit identified above, it is recognized that there are indirect or incidental general benefits to properties within the District as well as the general public that are associated with regular landscape maintenance services, including:
 Minimization of dust and debris; and
 Decreased potential water runoff from both properties and the landscaped areas.

Although these types of benefits might best be characterized as indirect consequences of the special benefit of the landscape maintenance provided to parcels served by the District, for the purposes of this Report, these types of benefits are assumed to be general benefits, albeit general benefits that are extremely difficult to quantify. It is estimated that the costs associated with these indirect benefits do not exceed one percent (1%) of the annual maintenance expenditures for Local Landscaping Zone improvements. With respect to arterial landscaping improvements, it is recognized that these improvements are not as localized and these indirect or incidental general benefits may extend to properties that are in proximity to those improvements but are outside of the City and District boundaries, such as the unincorporated areas within the City (county islands) and development areas immediately adjacent to the City located primarily on its southern and western borders. Collectively, these areas of development represent an area that is less than ten percent (10%) of the area (square miles) within the City of Yorba Linda. Therefore, the costs associated with these indirect or incidental general benefits have been calculated based on 1.0% of the estimated “Total Annual Maintenance Expenditures” budgeted for each Local Landscaping Zone and 1.1% of the estimated “Total Annual Maintenance Expenditures” budgeted for each Arterial Landscaping Zone. Together with the baseline general benefit costs previously identified, these indirect/incidental general benefit costs are excluded from the potential assessment funding and together are shown in the budgets for each Zone (“Part III - Estimate of Costs” of this Report) as “General Benefit Expenses (City Funded)”.

General Benefit Within Lighting Zones
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific lighting improvements (local street lighting, arterial street lighting and traffic signals) to be funded by District assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, like the landscaping improvements, it is evident that these improvements were primarily installed in connection with the development of properties to be assessed, or are improvements that would otherwise be shared by and required for the development of properties to be assessed. It is also evident that the maintenance and servicing of these improvements has a direct and particular impact (special benefit) on those properties in proximity to those improvements and such improvements and maintenance beyond that which is required for traffic circulation to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general, has no measurable benefit to the public at large or properties outside each respective Zone.

Local Street Lighting
The Local Street Lighting Zone is comprised of properties that receive particular and direct benefit from local street lights to be provided and maintained by the City through the District that were installed as part of the overall development or planned development of the properties to be assessed and the street lights would otherwise not be necessary or required without the development of those properties. Likewise, only those properties and developments that are adjacent to or in close proximity to District local street lights and benefit directly from those lights are included in the Zone. Developments that maintain and fund local street lighting within the development and/or its perimeter street lighting through an association or other revenue sources are not included in the Local Street Lighting Zone. In fact, more than twenty percent (20%) of the City parcels are not currently part of the Local Street Lighting Zone. Because these improvements are directly associated with the development of the properties within the Zone and clearly provide a special benefit to these properties that is not shared by all properties in the District, it is certainly reasonable to conclude that the maintenance and operation of these improvements is largely if not entirely a special benefit to those properties assessed. However, based on a review of the City’s development and street lighting standards it is estimated that not more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the local street lights associated with the parcels and developments in the Local

Page 791 of 989 ends

Yorba Linda Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2026/2027

Page 32 ends

Street Lighting Zone are located on the perimeter of the developments and/or the collector streets that are shared by those properties and developments. It is reasonable to conclude that these particular street lights not only provide a special benefit to properties in the Zone but may also enhance general nighttime traffic safety and circulation for other properties and the general public.

While these street lights were clearly the direct result of the adjacent or nearby property development, it is estimated based on general traffic circulation data for residential and collector streets, that less than half (50%) of these particular street lights and associated costs would be necessary in less concentrated development areas. Therefore, it has been determined that the general benefit related to the operation and maintenance of these particular street lights is no more than eighteen percent (18%) of the local streetlight operating costs (half of the approximate thirty-five percent (35%) associated with the perimeter and collector lights). However, to ensure that no parcel is assessed for more than its proportional special benefit for local street lighting, for fiscal year 2026/2027 the City will contribute for general benefit an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the combined estimated “Total Annual Maintenance Expenditures” and “Annual Administration Expenses” budgeted for local street lighting.

Arterial Street Lighting
In regard to street lighting on the arterial streets (Arterial Street Lighting Zone), similar to the local street lights located on the collector streets and development perimeters, arterial street lights clearly provide a measure of general benefit to the public and to properties in general resulting from nighttime traffic safety and circulation on these primary streets. The American National Standard Practice for Roadway Lighting and various related traffic and street lighting studies suggest that over seventy-five percent (75%) of the street lights installed on primary streets in urban areas are directly the result of property development (both residential and non-residential development). In turn, these developments increase traffic circulation and ultimately dictate the type of lighting, spacing and number of lights required and without such development, both the need and quantity of those lights would be dramatically reduced. Therefore, based on these estimates, it is reasonable to conclude that no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the arterial street lights and associated costs to service and maintain arterial street lights would be considered a general benefit. However, to ensure that no parcel is assessed for more than its proportional special benefit for arterial street lighting, for fiscal year 2026/2027, the City will contribute for general benefit an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the combined estimated “Total Annual Maintenance Expenditures” and “Annual Administration Expenses” budgeted for arterial street lighting.

Traffic Signal Lighting
Similar to arterial street lights, traffic signals are located throughout the City on streets and at intersections that provide direct access to each property in the District. However, similar to local lighting improvements within the District, the number and extent of these traffic signals varies in different areas of the City and therefore three Traffic Signal Zones have been established to identify and quantify the proportional special benefit to properties in different parts of the City. Like street lights (both arterial and local), it is certainly reasonable to recognize the general benefit to the public and properties in general associated with nighttime traffic safety and circulation associated with traffic signals. However, as clearly reflected by the need to establish different zones of benefit for these traffic signals, the number of traffic signals, the location of those signals and even the type of signalization is clearly the result of property development and the concentration of that development and thus the special benefit nexus to the properties within each Traffic Signal Zone. However, while these improvements are clearly required by development within the City and respective Zones, traffic signals are inherently installed in part to control traffic,

Page 792 of 989 ends

Yorba Linda Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2026/2027

Page 33 ends

not only traffic directly associated with surrounding properties (special benefit) but also general City traffic that is associated with the general public and properties outside each respective Traffic Signal Zone (general benefit). General traffic circulation within the City suggests that location and extent of such improvement is directly correlated to property development and such development increase traffic circulation and ultimately the spacing and number of traffic signals required to ensure proper traffic circulation to and from those properties and the overall need for such public improvements is dramatically reduced in areas with less property development. However, to ensure that no parcel is assessed for more than its proportional special benefit for traffic signal improvements, for fiscal year 2026/2027 the City will contribute for general benefit an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the combined estimated “Total Annual Maintenance Expenditures” and “Annual Administration Expenses” budgeted within each Traffic Signal Zone.

Assessment Methodology
To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to calculate each property’s relative share of the special benefits conferred by the funded improvements and service. The Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) method of assessment apportionment is utilized in this District and establishes a basic unit (base value) of benefit and then calculates the benefit derived by each assessed parcel as a multiple (or a fraction) of that basic unit. The EBU method of apportioning special benefits is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of comparable property characteristics which may include, but is not limited to, land use and property size. The method of apportionment originally developed for this District was based on an assessment formula appropriate for the various land uses, identifiable property characteristics and improvements within the District and utilizes the number of comparative dwelling units or dwelling spaces for other residential land uses and comparative lot sizes (acreage) for non-residential and undeveloped properties.

For the purposes of this Engineer’s Report, EBU is the quantum of benefit derived from the various Zone improvements by a single-family residential parcel. The single-family residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of assessments since it represents over ninety percent (90%) of the parcels in the District. Thus, the “benchmark” property (the single-family residential parcel) derives one EBU of benefit and is assigned 1.00 Equivalent Benefit Unit.

Land Use Classifications
Every parcel within the District is assigned a land use classification based on available parcel information obtained from the County Assessor’s Office or City records. It has been determined that a parcel’s land use and size are the appropriate factors necessary to identify and calculate the proportional special benefits conveyed to each property within the District for the cost of the specific improvements associated with that property. For this District, each parcel is assigned one of the following land use classifications:

Residential Single-Family – This classification may include, but is not limited to, all subdivided residential tract lots (with or without structures), condominiums, or other single-family residential units on a single parcel. As previously noted, the single-family residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of assessments, and each is assigned 1.00 EBU.

Residential Multi-Family and Mobile Home Parks – This land use classification identifies properties that are used for residential purposes but contain more than a single residential unit on the parcel (parcels with more than one dwelling). Due in part to the development and population densities associated with these types of dwelling units (reduced unit size compared to the typical

Page 793 of 989 ends

Yorba Linda Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2026/2027

Page 34 ends

density and size of single-family units), Residential Multi-Family Parcels and Mobile Home Parks have been assigned a weighted proportional special benefit factor of 0.8 EBU per unit and 0.5 EBU per space, respectively. Studies have consistently shown that the average apartment unit impacts infrastructure approximately 80% as much as a single-family residence and the average mobile home unit impacts infrastructure approximately 50%. (Sources: Institute of Transportation Engineers Informational Report Trip Generation, Fifth Edition, 1991; Metcalf and Eddy, Wastewater Engineering Treatment, Disposal, Reuse, Third Edition, 1991). Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the proportional special benefit these properties receive from the public improvements funded by the assessments has a similar proportionality.

Therefore, the EBUs assigned to a multi-residential or a mobile home parcel are calculated based on the number of dwelling units identified for that parcel, with each multi-residential parcel being assigned an EBU equal to 0.8 EBU multiplied by the number of dwelling units on the parcel and each mobile home park parcel being assigned an EBU equal to 0.5 EBU multiplied by the number of mobile home units or available spaces on the parcel.

Planned Residential Development – This land use is defined as a parcel and/or development (group of parcels) that are not fully subdivided, but based on an Approved Development Map, Final Tract Map or other Approved Development Plan, the specific number of residential singlefamily lots or units has been approved for development, and the improvements and services associated with the development and/or parcel have been accepted or will be accepted by the City for maintenance.

For balloting purposes to establish the property’s maximum assessment and proportional special benefit, these parcels shall be assigned an EBU that reflects the total EBU’s associated with that parcel at build-out (1.0 EBU per residential single-family lot/unit). However, for calculation of the annual assessments each fiscal year, the City and Assessment Engineer shall apply an EBU that reflects the property’s estimated proportional special benefit from existing improvements and/or portion of the new improvements to be installed and accepted during the upcoming fiscal year. If the parcel is not expected to be subdivided and no new improvements are being accepted for maintenance in the upcoming fiscal year, the Assessment Engineer may assign such parcels a weighted proportional EBU comparable to that assigned to Vacant/Undeveloped parcels. If the parcel is anticipated to be partially or fully subdivided, and/or new improvements associated with the development of the property are anticipated to come online for maintenance during the fiscal year, the Assessment Engineer may assign to such parcels an EBU that reasonably reflects the parcel’s proportional special benefit from the improvements and services provided as compared to other properties in the Zone up to the maximum EBU for which the property was balloted.

Non-Residential Developed – This classification includes developed properties that are identified or zoned for commercial, industrial, or other non-residential use including offices, hotels, recreational facilities (excluding parks and golf courses), and institutional facilities including, hospitals, churches or facilities utilized by other non-profit organizations, whether those facilities are publicly owned (non-taxable) or privately owned. Based on an overall evaluation of development in the City when the District was established, it was determined that the average single-family residential development yielded approximately three (3) dwelling units per acre of land. Thus, it was determined that the special benefit for these non-residential properties compared to a single-family residential parcel is proportional to 3.0 EBU multiplied by the acreage of the parcel. Therefore, the EBU assigned to each non-residential property is 3.0 EBU per acre. (e.g., A 2.25-acre parcel identified as non-residential is assigned 6.75 EBU).

Page 794 of 989 ends

Yorba Linda Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2026/2027

Page 35 ends

School (Public/Private) – This classification includes those parcels that are identified specifically as school sites that include playground or recreational areas (both public and private). Based on an evaluation of the various school sites in the City, it is estimated that on average, 1/3rd (approximately 33.33%) of the total acreage for these parcels is actually developed with structures and parking facilities similar to non-residential developed parcels. The remaining parcel acreage (approximately 66.67%) is generally associated with playground areas and/or sports fields similar to park facilities (e.g., Park Parcels). In recognition of the overall development and use of these properties it has been determined that parcels identified as Schools shall be assigned a proportional EBU that reflects the 1/3rd of the parcel’s acreage being developed non-residential acreage (33.33% of acreage x 3.0 EBU/acre) and 2/3rd of the parcel’s acreage being park acreage (66.67% of acreage x 0.75 EBU/acre). The average of these two calculations results in an EBU of 1.50 EBU per acre. (e.g., A 12.00-acre school parcel is assigned 18.00 EBU [12.0 acres x 1.50 EBU/acre]).

Park – This classification includes properties that are identified as Parks which have been developed for public use and provide similar public amenities and improvements funded by the District assessments. Although it is recognized that the improvements provided within the various Zones of the District were primarily constructed and installed as the result of property development, it is also recognized that a majority of these improvements were constructed in part to support the overall development of properties within the District and/or Zone to their full and best use. Therefore, when the District was established, it was determined that parcels identified as Park Parcels shall be assigned a proportional EBU that is 25% of the developed non-residential property, or 0.75 EBU per acre, up to a maximum of five (5) acres per parcel. (e.g., A 6.00-acre parcel identified as a vacant-rural parcel is assigned 3.75 EBU [5.0 acres x 0.75 EBU/acre]).

Golf Course – This classification includes all parcels that are identified as all, or a portion of, a golf course. Such properties, like schools, are somewhat unique in that the property use is a combination of developed non-residential and vacant/rural/park use. However, unlike schools, a more significant portion of the acreage for such development would be considered vacant/rural/park. In order to establish a proportional calculation of the special benefits for such properties from the District improvements as compared to other property uses, parcels identified as Golf Course Parcels shall be assigned a proportional EBU of 1.50 EBU per acre (similar to School Parcels), but recognizing that much of the acreage associated with these parcels is vacant/rural/park acreage, the maximum acreage applied in the special benefit calculation shall be limited to a maximum of five (5) acres per parcel (APN). (e.g., A 10.00-acre parcel identified as a golf course parcel is assigned 7.50 EBU [5.0 acres x 1.50 EBU/acre]).

Vacant/Rural (Undeveloped) – This classification includes properties that are identified as parcels with no development but have development potential. Although it is recognized that the improvements provided within the various Zones of the District were primarily constructed and installed as the result of property development, it is also recognized that the majority of these improvements were constructed in part to support the overall development of properties within the District and/or Zone to their full and best use, including vacant undeveloped properties.

Therefore, when the District was established, it was determined that parcels identified as Vacant/Undeveloped Parcels shall be assigned a proportional EBU that is 25% of the developed non-residential property, or 0.75 EBU per acre, up to a maximum of five (5) acres per parcel. (e.g., A 6.00-acre parcel identified as a vacant-rural parcel is assigned 3.75 EBU [5.0 acres x 0.75 EBU/acre]).

Page 795 of 989 ends

Yorba Linda Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2026/2027

Page 36 ends

However, within Local Landscaping Zones L-5A, L-5B and L-5C, a portion of the Zones are currently identified as vacant (undeveloped properties) that will be developed based on the overall development plans for the area. Therefore, in order to ensure a fair proportionality between the developed and undeveloped properties in these three Zones, the maximum of five (5) acres per parcel for vacant-rural parcels is not applied in these Zones. (e.g., A 6.00-acre parcel identified as a vacant-rural parcel is assigned 4.50 EBU [6.0 acres x 0.75 EBU/acre]).

Special Case – In many landscaping and lighting districts (particularly districts that have a wide range of land uses and property development) there may be one or more parcels that the standard land use classifications and proportionality identified above do not accurately identify the use and special benefit received from the improvements. Properties that are typically classified as Special Case Parcels usually involve some type of development or land restrictions whether those restrictions are temporary or permanent and affect the properties proportional special benefit.

Examples of such restrictions may include situations where only a small percentage of the parcel’s total acreage can actually be developed. In such a case, the net usable acreage of the parcel rather than the gross acreage of the parcel may be applied to calculate the parcel’s proportional special benefit. Each parcel shall be addressed on a case-by-case basis by the Assessment Engineer and the EBU assigned to such parcels shall be based on the specific issues related to that parcel and its proportional special benefit compared to other properties that receive special benefits from the improvements.

Exempt – Excluded from District assessments are the areas of public streets, private streets, and other roadways, dedicated public easements and open spaces, rights-of-way including public greenbelts and parkways or that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities. (These types of properties are not usually assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number by the County). Also exempt from assessments are utility rights-of-way, common areas (such as in condominium complexes), landlocked parcels, small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots, and any other property that cannot be independently developed. It has been determined that these types of properties receive no direct benefit from the improvements and receive no special benefit or general benefits from the continued operation and maintenance of those improvements.
