SUBJECT: TUSTIN LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT LEVY OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
FOR THE 2000-01 FISCAL YEAR
SUMMARY
The City Council, at their meeting of March 6, 2000, adopted Resolution No. 00-15 which ordered the
preparation of an Engineer's Report for the Levy of Annual Assessments for the Tustin Landscape and
Lighting District. The Engineer's Report has now been completed and consideration of the following
action is now appropriate.
· Adoption of Resolution No. 00-29 approves the Engineer's Report for the Fiscal Year
2000-01.
· Adoption of Resolution No. 00-30 declares the Council's intention to levy assessments for
Fiscal Year 2000-01 and set a public hearing for June 19, 2000.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following resolutions:
1. Resolution No. 00-29 approving the Engineer's Report for Fiscal Year 2000-01; and
2. Resolution No. 00-30 declaring its intention to levy.assessments for Fiscal Year 2000-01 and
set a public hearing for June 19, 2000.
FISCAL IMPACT
The landscape maintenance and public street lighting expenses within the Tustin Ranch area will be
recouped through the levy of the annual assessments for the District. The City's proposed assessment
on parkland with the District is $6,838.16 and will be accounted for in the FY 00/01 budget.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The District was formed on July 15, 1985 to install and maintain certain street lighting and landscaping
in the area bounded by Browning Avenue, Irvine Boulevard, Jamboree Road (formerly Myford Road)
and the I-5 Freeway within the City of Tustin. Assessments for the benefiting property were confirmed
for the first fiscal year, 1985-86, and each fiscal year thereafter. As property developed in the Tustin
Ranch area, such development was required to annex to the District.

As a result of new procedures required by the passage of Proposition 218 on the November 1996
Statewide ballot, which added Article XIIID to the State Constitution, the City re-analyzed the District
regarding the special benefits associated with the improvements for each property in the District,
commencing with the 1997-98 Fiscal Year. Notices and ballots to approve the assessment including
future adjustments based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) were mailed in the spring of
1997 to all property owners in the District. Subsequently, at the conclusion of a public hearing on July 7,
1997, the majority of returned ballots, weighted by assessed amount, approved the annual
assessments.
Based on the result of the ballot proceedings, the base assessment rate for Fiscal Year 1997-98 may
be increased in subsequent years by no more than the increase in the CPI for all urban consumers for
the Los Angeles, Anaheim and Riverside area. The percent increase in the CPI from February 1999 to
February 2000 was 2.8%. However, a CPI adjustment is not required for Fiscal Year 2000-2001 and
the assessment rates will remain the same as for Fiscal Year 1999-00. The anticipated increases in the
FY 2000-2001 operating expenses are being offset by a larger than anticipated fund balance along with
maintaining slightly less than a 50% reserve account. The larger than anticipated fund balance is due
to savings associated with the irrigation water over the past year.
Each year the City determines how much it will cost to provide the street lighting and landscape
maintenance services in Tustin Ranch. This total cost is divided among the parcels on a proportionate
share, based on a report prepared by consultant engineers. The precise method used to establish each
parcel's special benefit may vary according to land usage and benefit area, but similar parcels with
equal benefit from the District pay equal assessments.
There are apprOximately 5408 parcels within the District as compared to 4871 parcels for FY 1999-00.
The District includes three separate benefit areas based upon the special benefits received. Properties
located in Benefit Area A pay only for arterial and collector lighting. Properties located in Benefit. Area B
pay for arterial and collector street lighting as well as parkway, slope, and trail landscaping. Properties
are located in Benefit Area C if they have the previously mentioned benefits along with local residential
street lighting. Those parcels that pay for local residential street lighting are located within the tracts that
have public streets.
Typically, owners of single family residential parcels in each area pay an equal share. The proposed
assessment to be paid by single-family residential parcels in each of the following benefit areas are.
Arterial & Collector.Street Lighting (ACLT) .............................. $ 8.04 per year
ACLT + Parkway Slope & Trail Landscaping (PSTL) .............. $52.10 per year
ACLT & PSTL + Local Residential Lighting (LRLT) .................. $71.82 per year

The total costs to be assessed for lighting and landscape maintenance for Fiscal Year 2000-01 are
$76,023.00 and $336,001.00 respectively for a total operating and maintenance assessment of
$412,023.00.
The Engineer's Report prepared by Harris & Associates has been filed with the City Clerk.and contains
the following proposed levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2000-01 along with a comparable listing to
last year's assessment.

INTRODUCTION
HISTORY
The purpose of this report is to set forth findings and the engineering analysis to levy the
assessments in the Tustin Landscape and Lighting District for the 2000 -01 fiscal year.
The District was formed on July 15 1985 to install and maintain certain street lighting and
landscaping in the area bounded by Browning Avenue, Irvine Boulevard, Jamboree Road (formerly
Myford Road) and the I -5 Freeway within the City of Tustin. Assessments for the benefiting
property were confirmed for the first fiscal year, 1985 -86, and each fiscal year thereafter As
property developed in the Tustin Ranch area, such development was required to annex to the
District. The current boundary is shown on the Assessment Diagram/Boundary Map, which is
included in the Appendix.
As a result of the new procedures required by Proposition 218 (Prop. 218), which was approved
on the November 1996 Statewide ballot and added Article XIIID to the State Constitution, the
City re- analyzed the District regarding the special benefits associated with the improvements for
each property in the District, for the 1997 98 fiscal year Notices and ballots to approve the
Assessment, including a Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment, were mailed to all property
owners in the District, and a majority of the returned Assessment ballots approved the
Assessment, including potential adjustments for increases in the CPI in future years.
IMPROVEMENTS
The District improvements consist solely of parkway landscaping, trail landscaping, slope
landscaping, arterial and collector street lighting, and local residential street lighting in public rights -
of -way and dedicated easements. The District does not install or maintain parks or median islands in
roadways.
SCOPE OF REPORT
This report covers the levy of annual assessments for the 2000 -01 fiscal year The base assessment
rate which may be levied for each Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) may be increased by the CPI for
all Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles, Anaheim, Riverside Area in any fiscal year. The intent of
applying the annual CPI adjustment to the base assessment rate is to maintain the value of the
maintenance work, in relation to the increased cost of the maintenance. Therefore, the rates applied
in FY 1997 98 are equal to the maximum rates today when you consider the increased cost of living.
In 1997 property owners within the District were noticed for and they approved by assessment
ballot proceeding potential adjustments in the rates based on the annual CPI. The CPI for Fiscal
Year 1999 -2000 (February 1999 to February 2000) is 2.8 %. Since the notice to property owners in
1997 included a potential CPI adjustment each subsequent year, and the property owners approved
the potential range of rates, it is not necessary to hold an assessment ballot proceeding any year in
which such an adjustment is made. For the calculation of the maximum assessment for each Fiscal
Year, please refer to the Appendix.

PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing
certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of street
lights, traffic signals and landscaping facilities.
Street and Highways Code Section 22573 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according
to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned
by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots
or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel
from the improvements.
The 1972 Act permits the designation of areas of benefit within any individual assessment district if
'by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas
will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements. (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act
requires the levy of a true "assessment' rather than a 'special tax."
In addition, Proposition 218 (Prop. 218), the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which was approved on
the November 1996 Statewide ballot and added Article XIIID to the California Constitution, requires
that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit
conferred on that parcel. Prop. 218 provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City
must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. Prop. 218 also requires that publicly
owned property which benefit from the improvements be assessed.
REASON FOR THE ASSESSMENT
The assessment is proposed to be levied to defray the costs of the maintenance and servicing of
landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities, including but not limited to, personnel, electrical
energy utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the
satisfactory operation of these services.
EQUIVALENT DWELLING UNITS
Since the assessment will be levied against parcels of property as shown on the tax roll, the final charges
must be assigned by Assessor's Parcel Number If assessments were to be spread just by parcel, not
considenng land use or parcel size, a single family parcel would be paying the same as a 50 unit apartment
parcel or a large commercial establishment in a similar zone and this would not be equitable.
The single family residential lot has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of assessments and is
defined as one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). A methodology has been developed to calculate the
EDU's for other residential land uses and for non - residential parcels. Every land -use is converted to
EDU's: parcels containing apartments are converted to EDU's based on the number of dwelling units
on each parcel of land; commercial parcels are converted based on the lot size of each parcel of land.

Engineer's Report

Page 12
The EDU method is seen as the most appropriate and equitable for landscape and lighting districts, as the
benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land -use type and size.
Single Family Residential (SFR). Parcels zoned for single family residential uses are assessed
1 EDU per dwelling unit. Parcels designated as SFR land -use will be assessed 1 EDU per
dwelling unit, including vacant subdivided residential lots and vacant land zoned for single
family residential uses with a tentative or final tract map.
Multiple Family Residential. Multiple - residential (including condominiums) land use
equivalencies are determined based on the number of dwelling units on each parcel. Due to
population density and size of structure relative to the typical single family residence, each
dwelling unit defined as multi - family residential, including condominiums, would be 0 75 EDU
The EDU's assigned to a multiple - residential parcel are calculated by multiplying the number of
dwelling units by the EDU factor of 0 75 This includes vacant multi- family residential parcels
zoned for multiple- residential uses with a tentative or anal tract map.
Non- Residential. In converting non - residential properties to EDU's, the factor used is the City
of Tustin's typical standard single family residential lot area and the number of lots that could be
subdivided into an acre of land. All properties that are developed for non - residential uses are
therefore assigned 6 EDU's per acre. These include commercial, industrial, church, school and
other non - residential uses.
Vacant Parcels with No Development Designation. Vacant parcels with no development
designation or without a tentative or final map are assigned a reduced equivalency due to their
current lack of immediate development potential. Based upon the opinions of professional
appraisers appraising current market property values for real estate in Southern California, the
land value portion of a property typically ranges from 20 to 30 percent of the total value of the
property In Tustin Ranch, the land value portion of a single family detached residence appears
to be typically 30 percent or higher of the total value based on the County Assessor's tax rolls.
Therefore, vacant parcels are assigned equivalency units at the rate of 30 percent of improved
property which is 6 EDU /acre x 30% = 2 EDU /acre. Park parcels are also considered as vacant
with no development potential, and are assessed at that rate.
Peters Canyon Regional Park is a large, natural, open space park with very few facilities, which
straddles the cities of Orange and Tustin and a portion of unincorporated county area. The park
has many access points around its perimeter and one is within the Tustin Ranch area. This park
receives a very small amount of benefit relative to its size, and it seems reasonable to compare it
to other existing parks within Tustin Ranch. There are currently seven developed parks, five
public parks (Camino Real, Cedar Grove, Heritage, Laurel Glen, and the Tustin Sports Park) and
two private parks, with an average park size of 6.26 acres' Therefore, 6.26 acres have been used
to estimate the relative benefit Peters Canyon Regional Park receives.
Golf Course Property Golf Course parcels are developed commercial property but the
development is at a very low level. Therefore, golf course parcels are assessed at a rate between
developed and vacant land, at twice the rate of vacant parcels with no development designation,
which is 2.0 EDU /acre x 2 = 4 0 EDU /acre.
As of FY 1997 98, when the District was approved by public owner ballot.

Public Property Article XIIID of the California Constitution requires that all benefiting public
properties be assessed for their fair share of the special benefit. Public property which is
designated for residential or non- residential purposes (such as schools and fire stations) will be
assessed the same as private property with the same designation. Public parks will be assessed
the same as vacant parcels with no development designation.
Exempt Property Excepted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public
avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public drainage,
public easements and rights -of -ways, public greenbelts and parkways. Also excepted from
assessment would be utility rights -of -way common areas (such as in condominium complexes),
landlocked parcels, unbuildable parcels vacated by the City and parcels designated on Tract or
Parcel Maps for landscaping.

SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
STREET LIGHTING BENEFIT
Proper maintenance and servicing of the street lighting system benefits all properties within the
District by providing security safety and community character and vitality as outlined below Street
lights provide only incidental benefits to motorists traveling to, from or through the area.
BENEFITS OF STREET LIGHTING
Security and Safety
• Mitigates crime
• Alleviates the fear of crime
• Enhances pedestrian safety
Community Character and Vitality
• Promotes social interaction
• Promotes business and industry
• Contributes to a positive nighttime visual image
A large portion of the City of Tustin is within an Ad Valorem Lighting Maintenance District and is
paying for the operation and maintenance of street lights in a similar manner. The area of the
District, being a recent annexation to the City was not a part of this Ad Valorem Maintenance
District. Therefore, to fund the public street lights in the developing area, in 1985 the City
established the 1972 Landscape and Lighting District. Those properties that are adjacent to private
streets pay for their local private street lights through their Home Owners Association fees.

Arterial and Collector Lighting. Street Lighting on the arterial and collector streets provides
special and direct benefits to all properties within the District, as these lighting benefits are
directly related to the positive enhancement of the Community and therefore increase property
desirability and quality of life. All properties within the District receive a special benefit from
lighting on the arterials and collectors.
Lighting at intersections, which is defined as safety lighting, is considered to be the minimum
lighting requirement for vehicular safety' therefore, safety lighting represents the general benefit
portion of street lighting and is not assessed. Traffic Signals are also considered to provide a
general benefit and are not assessed.
Street lights which are not adjacent to the development in the District are deemed not to benefit
the area. Street lights on the east side of Jamboree Road, north of the 1 -5 Freeway, which
provide benefit to the property on the east side of Jamboree, are not included in this District and
the costs will not be assessed.
The following table shows the number of parcels, dwellings, acres and EDUs for each land use
type that receive this benefit.
Some 'SFR' parcels a e developing tracts with multiple SFR dwelling units. As maps are recorded and parcels assigned new APNs, the
parcels will increase to match the dwellings.
NOTE ON DIFFERENCES IN THE ABOVE TABLE: The total number of dwelling units decreased due to a reduction of constructed units
(3) in a Tract, the remaining reduced units are a correction from the previous year's totals. One additional Non - Residential parcel was created
for FY 2000 -01 from a parcel relmqueshment of State nght -of -way near the Auto Center at 1 -5. One additional School is assessed for the
Pioneer Middle School, which was assessed as vacant land last year. The number of Vacant parcels shown last year was incorrect, it should
have shown 3 The Parks total decreased by one for FY 2000 -01, as the and use was incorrectly assigned for a parcel. The Golf Course
acreage decreased due to a map correction by the County Assessor
Local Residential Lighting. Many of the residential units in the District have private street
lighting systems directly adjacent to their homes. This lighting is usually provided by a Home
Owners Association, and payment for the lights are usually made through association dues or
assessments. Parcels that have local residential street lighting provided by the City receive
special and direct local lighting benefit and are assessed for those local lights. There are eighty-
seven local residential 5,800 lumen lights and four 9,500 lumen lights. The cost for these lights
is assessed only to these benefiting parcels.

LANDSCAPING BENEFIT
Trees, landscaping, hardscaping and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, provide
beautification, shade and enhancement of the desirability of the surroundings, and therefore increase
property value. In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V Hubbard in
1937, it is stated:
there is no lack of opinion, based on general principals and experience and common
sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property even though the amount cannot be
determined exactly Indeed, in most cases where public money has been spent for
parkways the assumption has been definitely made that the proposed parkway will show
a provable financial profit to the City It has been believed that the establishment of
parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City or in parts of the City
It should be noted that the definition of "parkways' above may include the roadway as well as the
landscaping along side the roadway
Landscaping along recreational trails and greenbelts, if well maintained, provide beautification and
enhancement of the desirability of the surroundings, and therefore increase property value.
In Greenways for America by Charles E. Little, it is stated:
[real estate] agents routinely advertise properties as being on or near the
trail. .property near but not immediately adjacent to the Burke - Gilman Trail is
significantly easier to sell and, according to real estate agents, sells for an average of 6
percent more as a result of its proximity to the trail. Property immediately adjacent to
the trail, however, is only slightly easier to sell. .trails are an amenity that helps sell
homes, increase property values and improve the quality of life.
Additionally the National Recreation and Park Association, in June 1985 stated:
The recreation value is realized as a rise in the value of land and other property in or
near the recreation area, and is of public interest to the taxpayers, who have a stake in
a maximum of total assessed values.
The District enjoys a higher level of landscaping and streetscapmg in their parkways and slopes than
the rest of the City of Tustin. The City provides funding for the landscaped medians in the area, so
these costs are not assessed. Additionally a pedestrian and equestrian trail, which will one day be
linked with the regional trail system, is landscaped and beautified by the Dismct. The landscape

Excepted from this landscaping benefit are the Tustin Marketplace, Tustin Annex, and the Tustin
Auto Center, which provide their own landscaping adjacent to their properties at an even higher level
than the rest of the District. Landscaping along roadways provides only incidental benefits to
motorists traveling to, from or through the area.
