WEST, CITY MANAGER FROM: DOUGLAS S. STACK, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: APPROVE THE ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR THE TUSTIN LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER LEVYING FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 ASSESSMENTS SUMMARY At the April 6, 2021 meeting, the City Council 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 is ready for City Council approval. Additionally, it is requested that the City Council declare its intention to levy annual assessments and set a public hearing for June 15, 2021. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 21-26 approving the Engineer's Report for the Tustin Landscape and Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2021-2022; and 2. Adopt Resolution No. 21-27 declaring its intention to levy annual assessments for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and setting a public hearing for June 15, 2021. FISCAL IMPACT A portion of the landscape maintenance and public street lighting expenses within the Tustin Ranch area are recovered through the levy of the annual assessments for the District. The proposed Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget is $1,240,100 with proposed assessments of $704,651. Included in the assessments is a charge of $11,615.43 to the City for parkland which will be paid through the City's general fund operating budget. The Engineer's Report calculates a General Benefit Contribution of $107,567. In order to meet the District's budget needs at the conclusion of FY 2021-2022, the City must consider additional funding to cover a deficit currently projected at $427,899. In prior years, the deficit has been fully funded from the Reassessment District 95-1 (RAD 95-1) Construction Fund (431) available balance. The Finance Department has projected the RAD 95-1 Construction Fund balance at the end of FY 2020-2021 to be approximately $369,850. This does not cover the projected deficit and therefore a General Fund allocation of $58,049 will be needed to ensure service levels are not reduced. CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN This item contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal B: Public Safety and Protection of Assets by ensuring Tustin is an attractive and well maintained community in which people feel pride. . . . . ......... __ DocuSign Envelope ID: BEE51 E5B-6008-493F-8E6A-88E4F576352B Tustin Landscape and Lighting District April 20, 2021 Page 2 BACKGROUND The Tustin Landscape and Lighting District was formed in 1985 to fund the maintenance of perimeter landscaping on the arterial highways and for the operation and maintenance of street lighting on public streets within the Tustin Ranch area. Assessments for the benefiting properties were first confirmed for 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. The District currently consists of 5,704 parcels encompassing 457.186 acres. As a result of procedures required by the passage of Proposition 218 on the November 1996 Statewide ballot, which added Article XIID 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. Assessment Districts AD 85-1 and AD 86-2 were formed in 1986 and 1988, respectively and $132,050,000 in bonds were issued to fund the design and construction of public improvements including streets, traffic signals, drainage facilities, utility improvements, and landscaping. Streets constructed within these Districts included, but were not limited to, Jamboree Road, Tustin Ranch Road, Irvine Boulevard, Bryan Avenue, Portola Parkway and Pioneer Road. On January 15, 1996, Reassessment District No. 95-1 (RAD 95-1) was formed by Resolution No. 96-8, thereby consolidating AD 85-1 and AD 86-2 within the City of Tustin into a single district and authorizing the issuance of bonds to exonerate the previous bonds. Assessments levied under RAD 95-1 cover the same public infrastructure improvements within the City of Tustin as the previous Assessment Districts. On November 17, 2009, the City Council declared that construction of all required improvements was complete and, pursuant to Section 10427 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the remaining funds in RAD 95-1 were surplus and, as such, the remaining funds could be utilized for maintenance projects within the Tustin Landscape and Lighting District. These one-time funds have been utilized to offset annual District deficits each year since Fiscal Year 2009-2010 and are proposed to be utilized for 2021-2022. The funding will be exhausted during Fiscal Year 2021- 2022 and supplemental funding from the General Fund will be needed to maintain current service levels. DISCUSSION Based on the results of the 1997 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 2020 is 1.5%. The District's budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 has been increased 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 within the District. Staff estimates the proposed FY 2021-2022 budget to be $1,240,100, comprised of the following major components: arterial and collector street lighting; local residential lighting; and parkway, slope and trail landscaping. DocuSign Envelope ID: BEE51 E5B-6008-493F-8E6A-88E4F576352B Tustin Landscape and Lighting District April 20, 2021 Page 3 The resulting total costs to be assessed for lighting and landscape maintenance for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 are $42,434 and $662,218 respectively, for a total operating and maintenance assessment of $704,651. This total cost is then 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 5,704 parcels within the District for Fiscal Year 2021-2022, which is unchanged from last year. The District includes three separate benefit areas based upon the special benefits received. • Benefit Area "A" Properties located in Benefit Area "A" pay only for Arterial and Collector Street Lighting (ACLT). • Benefit Area "B" Properties located in Benefit Area "B" pay for Arterial and Collector Street Lighting, plus Parkway, Slope, and Trail Landscaping (ACLT + PSTL). • Benefit Area "C" Properties located in Benefit Area "C" pay for Arterial and Collector Street Lighting, plus Parkway, Slope, Trail Landscaping, plus Local Residential Street Lighting (ACLT + PSTL + LRLT). 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)........................................................$4.11 per year • Benefit Area "B" (ACLT + PSTL).............................................$89.47 per year • Benefit Area "C" (ACLT +PSLT + LRLT).................................$124.28 per year 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 2021-2022 along with a comparable listing to last year's assessment.

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 2021-22 fiscal year, based on the methodology adopted by the City Council in the 1997-98 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, Long Beach, Anaheim 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 CPI. The base assessment rate which may be levied for each Equivalent Dwelling Unit(EDU) City of Tustin 1 March 29, 2021 Landscape and Lighting District, FY2021-22 Engineer's Report DocuSign Envelope ID: BEE51 E5B-6008-493F-8E6A-88E4F576352B may be increased by the CPI for all Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles, Long Beach and Anaheim areas (Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim11, CA, CPI-U)in any calendar year. The CPI for Calendar Year 2020 (December 2019 to December 2020)is 1.5%. 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. ' (CPI-U) Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside was used prior to December 2017 when the Inland Empire was split off to become a new CPI reporting area and Long Beach replaced Riverside in the name for the remaining CPI reporting area.

City of Tustin 2-1 March 29, 2021 Landscape and Lighting District, FY2021-22 Engineer's Report DocuSign Envelope ID: BEE51 E5B-6008-493F-8E6A-88E4F576352B Section 3 Assessment Roll The Assessment Roll is a listing of the proposed assessment and the amount of assessment for Fiscal Year 2021-22 apportioned to each lot or parcel, as shown on the latest roll at the Assessor's Office, and contained in the Assessment Roll on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Tustin, which is incorporated herein by reference. The description of each lot or parcel is part of the records of the Assessor of the County of Orange and these records are, by reference, made part of this Report. City of Tustin 3-1 March 29, 2021 Landscape and Lighting District, FY2021-22 Engineer's Report DocuSign Envelope ID: BEE51 E5B-6008-493F-8E6A-88E4F576352B Section 4 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 XIIII) 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 considering 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. City of Tustin 4-1 March 29, 2021 Landscape and Lighting District, FY2021-22 Engineer's Report DocuSign Envelope ID: BEE51 E5B-6008-493F-8E6A-88E4F576352B 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. The EDU 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 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 final 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 one-third 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 one-third of improved property which is 6 City of Tustin 4-2 March 29, 2021 Landscape and Lighting District, FY2021-22 Engineer's Report DocuSign Envelope ID: BEE51 E5B-6008-493F-8E6A-88E4F576352B EDU/acre x one-third= 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. At the time the district was formed, there were 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 containing the clubhouse are considered developed commercial property and therefore assigned 6 EDU's per acre. The Golf Course parcels that contain the course greens are also considered 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. Public Property. Article X11ID 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.

Street lights provide only incidental benefits to motorists traveling to, from or through the area. SPECIAL BENEFITS OF STREET LIGHTING Security and Safety Community Character and Vitality • Mitigates crime • Promotes social interaction • Alleviates the fear of crime • Promotes business and industry • Enhances pedestrian safety • 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 covered by this District was not a part of this Ad Valorem Maintenance District. Therefore, in 1985, to fund the public street lights in the developing area, 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. The portion of the arterial lighting above what is required to illuminate a typical residential neighborhood is for vehicular traffic and is a general benefit. The typical local light is 2,900 lumens whereas the arterial light is 6,550 lumens, therefore 55.73% of the arterial light cost is general benefit and the remaining 44.27%is special benefit, representing the local lighting portion of the arterial lights. 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 I-5 Freeway, which City of Tustin 4-4 March 29, 2021 Landscape and Lighting District, FY2021-22 Engineer's Report DocuSign Envelope ID: BEE51 E5B-6008-493F-8E6A-88E4F576352B 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.

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 ninety- one local residential street lights. The cost for these lights is assessed only to these benefiting parcels. The following table shows the number of parcels, dwellings and EDUs that receive this benefit. There were no changes from the previous fiscal year. Local Residential Lighting Benefit By Land Use Parcels Dwellings EDU's Single Family Residential 369 369 369.000 369 369 369.000 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 City of Tustin 4-5 March 29, 2021 Landscape and Lighting District, FY2021-22 Engineer's Report DocuSign Envelope ID: BEE51 E5B-6008-493F-8E6A-88E4F576352B 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 alongside 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 streetscaping 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, 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, 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. Slopes along the easterly side of Jamboree Road are considered general benefit and reflect 8.1% of the total landscaping maintained in the district(4.11 AC/51 AC). The following table shows the number of parcels, dwellings, acres and EDUs for each land use type that receive this benefit.
