proposed assessment on parkland within the District is $8,203.13 and will be paid through
the City's Fiscal Year 2005-2006 property tax expense fund.
BACKGROUND
The District was formed on July 15, 1985 to install and maintain certain street lighting and
landscaping in the area generally bounded by Browning Avenue, Irvine Boulevard, Jamboree
Road (formerly Myford Road) and the 1-5 Freeway within the City of Tustin.

Assessments for the benefiting property were confirmed for the first fiscal year, 1985-1986, 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 procedures required by the passage of Proposition 218 on the November 1996
Statewide ballot, which added Article XIlID 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 Fiscal Year 1997-1998. 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-
1998 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 percentage increase in
the CPI for calendar year 2004 is 4.4%. The District's budget for Fiscal Year 2005-2006 has
been increased in all Benefit Areas per the maximum allowed by Proposition 218 to offset
anticipated increases in operating expenses.
Each year the City estimates the cost to provide the street lighting and landscape maintenance
services in the Tustin Ranch area. 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 5,682 parcels within the District for Fiscal Year 2005-2006, which is the same number
of parcels as for Fiscal Year 2004-2005.
The District includes three separate benefit areas based upon the special benefits received.
. Benefit Area "A" -
. Benefit Area "B" -
. Benefit Area "C" -
Properties located in Benefit Area "A" pay only for Arterial and Collector
Street Lighting (ACL T).
Properties located in Benefit Area "B" pay for Arterial and Collector Street
Lighting, plus Parkway, Slope, and Trail Landscaping (ACL T + PSTL).
Properties located in Benefit Area "C" pay for Arterial and Collector Street
Lighting, plus Parkway, Slope, and Trail Landscaping, plus Local
Residential Street Lighting (ACL T + PSTL + LRL T). Those parcels that
pay for local residential street lighting are located within the residential
tracts that have public streets.

Typically, owners of single-family residential parcels in each area pay an equal share. The
proposed assessments to be paid by single family residential parcels in each of the following
benefit areas are:
.
Benefit Area "A" (ACLT) ................................................................... $ 9.81 per year
Benefit Area "B" (ACL T + PSTL) ...................................................... $62.50 per year
.
.
Benefit Area "C" (ACL T + PSTL + LRL T) ......................................... $86.80 per year
The total costs to be assessed for lighting and landscape maintenance for Fiscal Year 2005-2006
are $93,118.00 and $404,356.00, respectively, for a total operating and maintenance assessment
of $497,474.00.

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 2005-06 fiscal year.
The District was fonned on July 15, 1 985 to install and maintain certain street lighting and
landscaping in the area bounded by Browning Avenue, Irvine Boulevard, Jamboree Road (fonnerly
Myford Road) and the [-5 Freeway within the City of Tustin- Assessments for the benefiting
property were con finned 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 DiagramIBoundary Map, which is
included in the Appendix.
As a result of the new proeedures 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 Distriet regarding the speeial 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
---'_____m
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-
goP~J![-'~JI'ORT
This report covers the levy of annual assessments for the 2005-06 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 tor the Los Angeles, Anaheim, Riverside Area in any calendar 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 cpr The cpr for Calendar
Year 2004 (December 2003 to December 2004) is 4.4%- Since the notice to property owners in
1997 included a potential CP¡ 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-

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 eonstruction, 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
a1l assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be reeeived by
each such lot or pareel !Tom the improvements.
The 1972 Act permits the designation of areas of benefit within any individual assessment distriet if
"by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas
wi1l receive different degrees ofbenetìt !Tom the improvements" (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act
requires the levy ofa true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
In addition, Proposition 218 (Prop. 218), the "Right to Vote on Taxes Aet" which was approved on
the November 1996 Statewide ba1l0t and added Article XlI1D 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 !Tom the special benefits. Prop. 218 also requires that publicly
owned property which benefit !Tom the improvements be assessed.
REASON FOR THE ASSESSMENT
The assessment is proposed to be levied to de!Tay the costs of the maintenance and servicing of
landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities, including but not limited to, personnel, eleetrical
energy, utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the
satisfactory operation of these services.
EjiUIVAlENT DWElL.tN.§..UNITS
Since the assessment will be levied against parcels of property as shown on the wx roll, the final charges
must be assigned by Assessor's Parcel Number. If assessments were to be spread just by parcel, not
considering land use or parcel size, a single family parcel would be paying the same as a 50 unit apartment
parcel or a large eommercial eswblishment in a similar zone and this would not be equiwble.
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 ofland; commercial parcels arc converted based on the lot size of each parcel of land.

City of Tustin - Landscape and lighting District, FY 2005-06
Engineer's Report
April22,2005
Page 12
The EOO method is seen as the most appropriate and equitable method of spread for landscape and
lighting districts, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a flmction of
land-use type and size.
Single Family Residential (SFR). Parcels zoned for single family residential uses are assessed
I EOU per dwelling unit. Parcels designated as SFR land-use will be assessed 1 EOU 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 typieal single family residenee, each
dwelJing unit defined as multi-family residential, including condominiums, would be 0.75 EOo.
The EOO's assigned to a multiple-residential pareel are calculated by multiplying the number of
dwelJing units by the EOU factor of 0.75. This includes vacant multi-family residential parcels
zoned for multiple-residential uses with a tentative or final tract map.
Non-Residential. In converting non-residential properties to EOO'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 EOO'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 reside nee appears
to be typically one-third or higher of the total value based on the County Assessor's tax rolls.
Therefore, vacant pareels are assigned equivalency units at the rate of one-third of improved
property which is 6 EOU/acre x one-third = 2 EOU/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 eounty 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 of6.26 acres'. Therefore, 6.26 aeres 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 EOU/acre x 2 = 4.0 EOU/acre.

Public Property. Article XIIID of the California Constitution requires that all benefiting public
properties be assessed for their fair share of the special benefit. Publie 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 ti-om 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 ti-om
assessment would be utility rights-of-way, common areas (such as in condominium eomplexes),
landloeked 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 colleetors.
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 whieh 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.

Local Residential Lighting. Many of the residential units in Ihe 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 Parkwavs 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 prineipals and experience and common
sense, that parkways do in foCI add value to property, even though the amount cannot
be detennined 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 finaneia! 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 beautifieation and
enhaneement 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 streetscaping in their parkways and slopes than
the rest of the City of l' us tin. The City provides funding for the landscaped medians in the area, so
these costs arc 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 District. The landscape

improvements along the arterial and collector streets, in the parkways and slopes, and the regional
trail enhance the beauty of the area and benefit all parcels in the community.
Excepted from this landscaping benefit are the Tustin Marketplace, Tustin Annex, and the Tustin
Auto Center, whieh provide their own landscaping adjaeent to their properties at an even higher level
than the rest of the District Landscaping along roadways provides only ineidental benefits to
motorists traveling to, from or through the area-
