INTRODUCTION
Reason for Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer's Report will generate the revenue
necessary to:
Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this
Engineer's Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the
following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any
improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other
illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also
include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of
LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual
administration and operation of the District.
Process for Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with
the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer's Report must be
prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of
the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and
parcels of land within the District.
The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which:
• Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the
District for the fiscal year stated therein.
• Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial
changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
• Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the
District.
• Refers to the Engineer's Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed
description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein,
and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the
District.
• Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of
the proposed assessment.
• States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.
If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum
assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of
intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public
hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain
a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 3
Fiscal Year 2024/25
During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any
of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the
District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.
The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing, must then adopt a resolution confirming
the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of
the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the
assessment.
If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved,
the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The
voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California
Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an
assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are
proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition
to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various
improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the
boundaries of the District.
Description of the Boundaries of the District
The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of
the District are generally described as the entire City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report.
Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and
appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not
limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic
signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting
services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and
repair required to keep the improvements in operational and satisfactory condition. In addition, it
is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, in order to lower expenses of
the District. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the acquisition by the City of the street lights and installation
of LED street lighting specially benefiting the properties within the District has been added to the
improvements.

The maximum allowable assessment per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) listed in the District
budget above, is the amount which was approved in Fiscal Year 1996/97 and subsequent
District annexations. Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City
will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the
upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the total amount of
funds needed to maintain the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual
assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may
not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance
with Proposition 218.
It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the
estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the
fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and
tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the
District is as follows:

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred
upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be
identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be
determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of
improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose
of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including
traffic signals.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must 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 benefit to be
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the
improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division
7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of
California].
Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any
individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of
the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the
improvement".
Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to
the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that
publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that
those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the
assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads,
public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public
greenbelts and public parkways.
The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly
distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 10
Fiscal Year 2024/25
the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit,
where only special benefit is assessed.
Special Benefit
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in
the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the
properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within
the District by:
• improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the
boundaries of the District, and
• ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be
materially detrimental to properties within the District, and
• providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and
• providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District.
The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct
from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not
share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since
these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the
District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said
maintenance.
General Benefit
In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative
general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which
include:
• the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel
through the District
However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct
benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed.
Method of Assessment Spread
Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the
improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the
maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit
derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the
maintenance and operation of the improvements.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 11
Fiscal Year 2024/25
When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed.
Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus
Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as
property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the
method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has
remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District
formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied
differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed.
To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel
improvements to each other. The Equivalent Benefit Unit ("EBU") method of apportionment
uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment.
A single-family home equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Every other land-use is
converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific
development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a
single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-
use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment.
Land-Use Equivalent Benefit Units
Property Type (County Use Code EBU Value Multiplier
Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel
Multi-FamilyResidential 1.00 Unit
Non-Residential 2.00 Acre
The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type
determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In
addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an
invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall
be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and
subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU
assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated
rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.
The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2024/25 maximum allowable assessment rates
for the District:

The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the streetlights and traffic
signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to
the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual
assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report.

Fiscal Year 2024/25
INTRODUCTION
Reason for Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer's Report will generate the revenue
necessary to:
Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this
Engineer's Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the
following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any
improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other
illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also
include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of
LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual
administration and operation of the District.
Process for Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with
the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer's Report must be
prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of
the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and
parcels of land within the District.
The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which:
• Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the
District for the fiscal year stated therein.
• Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial
changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
• Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the
District.
• Refers to the Engineer's Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed
description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein,
and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the
District.
• Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of
the proposed assessment.
• States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.
If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum
assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of
intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public
hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain
a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2— City of Rancho Cucamonga 3
Fiscal Year 2024/25
During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any
of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the
District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.
The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming
the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of
the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the
assessment.
If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved,
the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The
voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California
Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an
assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are
proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition
to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various
improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the
boundaries of the District.
Description of the Boundaries of the District
The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of
the District are generally described as the entire City west of Haven Ave.
Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report.
Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and
appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not
limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic
signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting
services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and
repair required to keep the improvements in operational and satisfactory condition. In addition, it
is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, in order to lower expenses of
the District. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the acquisition by the City of the street lights and
installation of LED street lighting specially benefiting the properties within the District has been
added to the improvements.

The maximum allowable assessment per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) listed in the District
budget above, is the amount which was approved in Fiscal Year 1996/97 and subsequent
District annexations. Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City
will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the
upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the total amount of
funds needed to maintain the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual
assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may
not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance
with Proposition 218.
It is the intent of the City of Rancho Cucamonga to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall
not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to
December 10 of the fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special
assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred
upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be
identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be
determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of
improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose
of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including
traffic signals.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must 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 benefit to be
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the
improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division
7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of
California].
Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any
individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of
the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the
improvement".
Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to
the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that
publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that
those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the
assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads,
public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public
greenbelts and public parkways.
The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly
distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 10
Fiscal Year 2024/25
the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit,
where only special benefit is assessed.
Special Benefit
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in
the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the
properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within
the District by:
• improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the
boundaries of the District, and
• ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be
materially detrimental to properties within the District, and
• providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and
• providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District.
The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct
from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not
share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since
these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the
District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said
maintenance.
General Benefit
In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative
general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which
include:
• the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel
through the District
However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct
benefit to parcels outside of the District that are not being assessed.
Method of Assessment Spread
Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the
improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the
maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit
derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the
maintenance and operation of the improvements.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2— City of Rancho Cucamonga 11
Fiscal Year 2024/25
When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed.
Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus
Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as
property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the
method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has
remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District
formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied
differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed.
To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel
improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as
the basic unit of assessment.
A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an
assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of
.development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The
following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by
County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment.
Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units
Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier
Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel
Multi-Family Residential 1.00 Unit
Non-Residential 2.00 Acre
The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type
determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In
addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an
invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall
be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and
subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU
assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated
rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.

Non-Residential 39.97 39.97 35.161 70.32
The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the street lights and traffic
signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to
the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual
assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report.

Fiscal Year 2024/25
INTRODUCTION
Reason for Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer's Report will generate the revenue
necessary to:
Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this
Engineer's Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the
following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any
improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other
illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also
include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of
LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual
administration and operation of the District.
Process for Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with
the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer's Report must be
prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of
the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and
parcels of land within the District.
The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which:
• Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the
District for the fiscal year stated therein.
• Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial
changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
• Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the
District.
• Refers to the Engineer's Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed
description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein,
and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the
District.
• Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of
the proposed assessment.
• States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.
If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum
assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of
intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public
hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain
a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3— City of Rancho Cucamonga 3
Fiscal Year 2024/25
During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any
of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the
District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.
The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming
the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of
the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the
assessment.
If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved,
the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The
voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California
Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an
assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are
proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition
to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various
improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the
boundaries of the District.
Description of the Boundaries of the District
The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of
the District are generally described as that area located south of the 210 Freeway, west of
Etiwanda Ave, southwest of the 1-15 Freeway and east of Haven Ave, also known as the
Victoria Neighborhood Planned Community, and are more particularly in the diagram of the
District included herein.
Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report.
Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and
appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not
limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic
signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting
services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and
repair required to keep the improvements in operational and satisfactory condition. In addition, it
is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, in order to lower expenses of
the District. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the acquisition by the City of the street lights and installation
of LED street lighting specially benefiting the properties within the District has been added to the
improvements.

The maximum allowable assessment per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) listed in the District
budget above, is the amount which was approved in Fiscal Year 1996/97 and subsequent
District annexations. Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City
will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the
upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the total amount of
funds needed to maintain the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual
assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may
not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance
with Proposition 218.
It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the
estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the
fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and
tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the
District is as follows:

Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 9
Fiscal Year 2024/25
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred
upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be
identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be
determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of
improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose
of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including
traffic signals.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must 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 benefit to be
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the
improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division
7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of
California].
Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any
individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of
the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the
improvement".
Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to
the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that
publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that
those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the
assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads,
public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public
greenbelts and public parkways.
The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly
distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by
the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit,
where only special benefit is assessed.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 10
Fiscal Year 2024/25
Special Benefit
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in
the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the
properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within
the District by:
• improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the
boundaries of the District, and
• ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be
materially detrimental to properties within the District, and
• providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and
• providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District.
The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct
from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not
share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since
these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the
District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said
maintenance.
General Benefit
In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative
general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which
include:
• the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel
through the District
However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct
benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed.
Method of Assessment Spread
Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the
improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the
maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit
derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the
maintenance and operation of the improvements.
When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed. Upon
the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus
Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3— City of Rancho Cucamonga 11
Fiscal Year 2024/25
property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the
method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has
remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District
formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied
differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed.
To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel
improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as
the basic unit of assessment.
A single-family home equals one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EBU). Every other land-use is
converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific
development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a
single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-
use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment.
Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units
Property Type (County Use Code EBU Value Multiplier
Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel
Multi-FamilyResidential 1.00 Unit
Non-Residential 2.00 Acre
The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type
determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In
addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an
invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall
be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and
subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU
assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated
rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.
The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2024/25 maximum allowable assessment rates
for the District:
Maximum
Allowable Actual
Assessment Asessment Rate Total
Property Type (County Use Code Rate per EBU per EBU Units/Acres Total EBUs

Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 12
Fiscal Year 2024/25
The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the street lights and traffic
signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to
the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual
assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report.

INTRODUCTION
Reason for Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer's Report will generate the revenue
necessary to:
Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this
Engineer's Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the
following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any
improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other
illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also
include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of
LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual
administration and operation of the District.
Process for Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with
the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer's Report must be
prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of
the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and
parcels of land within the District.
The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which:
• Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the
District for the fiscal year stated therein.
• Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial
changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
• Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the
District.
• Refers to the Engineer's Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed
description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein,
and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the
District.
• Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of
the proposed assessment.
• States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.
If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum
assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of
intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public
hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain
a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4— City of Rancho Cucamonga 3
Fiscal Year 2024/25
During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any
of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the
District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.
The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming
the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of
the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the
assessment.
If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved,
the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The
voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California
Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an
assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are
proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition
to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various
improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the
boundaries of the District.
Description of the Boundaries of the District
The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of
the District are generally described as that area of the City known as the Terra Vista Planned
Community, which is located north of Foothill Blvd, west of Rochester Ave, east of Haven Ave,
south of Base Line Rd and includes the northeast corner of Base Line Rd and Haven Ave.
Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report.
Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and
appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not
limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic
signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting
services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and
repair required to keep the improvements in operational and satisfactory condition. In addition, it
is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, in order to lower expenses of
the District. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the acquisition by the City of the street lights and installation
of LED street lighting specially benefiting the properties within the District has been added to the
improvements.

The maximum allowable assessment per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) listed in the District
budget above, is the amount which was approved in Fiscal Year 1996/97 and subsequent
District annexations. Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City
will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the
upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the total amount of
funds needed to maintain the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual
assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may
not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance
with Proposition 218.
It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the
estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the
fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and
tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the
District is as follows:

Fiscal Year 2024/25
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred
upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be
identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be
determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of
improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose
of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including
traffic signals.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must 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 benefit to be
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the
improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division
7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of
California].
Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any
individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of
the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the
improvement".
Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to
the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that
publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that
those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the
assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads,
public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public
greenbelts and public parkways.
The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly
distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by
the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit,
where only special benefit is assessed.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4— City of Rancho Cucamonga 10
Fiscal Year 2024/25
Special Benefit
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in
the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the
properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within
the District by:
• improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the
boundaries of the District, and
• ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be
materially detrimental to properties within the District, and
• providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and
• providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District.
The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct
from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not
share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since
these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the
District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said
maintenance.
General Benefit
In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative
general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which
include:
• the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel
through the District
However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct
benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed.
Method of Assessment Spread
Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the
improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the
maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit
derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the
maintenance and operation of the improvements.
When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed.
Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus
Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4— City of Rancho Cucamonga 11
Fiscal Year 2024/25
property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the
method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has
remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District
formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied
differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed.
To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel
improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as
the basic unit of assessment.
A single-family home equals one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EBU). Every other land-use is
converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific
development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a
single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-
use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment.
Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units
Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier
Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel
Multi-Family Residential 0.50 Unit
Non-Residential 2.00 Acre
The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type
determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In
addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an
invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall
be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and
subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU
assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated
rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.
The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2024/25 maximum allowable assessment rates
for the District:

Allowable Actual
Assessment Asessment Rate Total
Property Type (County Use Code) Rate per EBU per EBU Units/Acres Total EBUs

Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 4— City of Rancho Cucamonga 12
Fiscal Year 2024/25
The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the streetlights and traffic
signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to
the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual
assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report.

Fiscal Year 2024/25
In making the assessments contained herein pursuant to the 1972 Act:
1. I have identified all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them from
the improvement described in the Special Benefit Section of this Annual Engineer's
Report (the "Specially Benefited Parcels"). For particulars as to the identification of said
parcels, reference is made to the Assessment Diagram, a copy of which is included in
this Annual Engineer's Report.
2. 1 have evaluated the costs and expenses of the improvements upon the Specially
Benefitted Parcels. In making such evaluation:
a. The proportionate special benefit derived by each Specially Benefited Parcel
from the improvements was determined in relationship to the entirety of the
maintenance costs of the improvements;
b. No assessment has been imposed on any Specially Benefited Parcel which

Fiscal Year 2024/25
INTRODUCTION
Reason for Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer's Report will generate the revenue
necessary to:
Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this
Engineer's Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the
following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any
improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other
illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also
include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of
LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual
administration and operation of the District.
Process for Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with
the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer's Report must be
prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of
the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and
parcels of land within the District.
The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which:
• Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the
District for the fiscal year stated therein.
• Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial
changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
• Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the
District.
• Refers to the Engineer's Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed
description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein,
and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the
District.
• Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of
the proposed assessment.
• States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.
If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum
assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of
intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public
hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain
a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 5— City of Rancho Cucamonga 3
Fiscal Year 2024/25
During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any
of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the
District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.
The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming
the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of
the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the
assessment.
If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved,
the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The
voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California
Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an
assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are
proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition
to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various
improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the
boundaries of the District.
Description of the Boundaries of the District
The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The boundaries of the District are
generally described as that area located north of the 210 Freeway, south of Banyan St, west of
Rochester Ave and east of Milliken Ave, also known as the Caryn Planned Community. The
boundaries also include Tract No. 13835 east of Rochester Ave and Tracts No. 13748, 13857
and 13858 west of Milliken Ave.
Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report.
Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and
appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not
limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic
signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting
services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and
repair required to keep the improvements in operational and satisfactory condition. In addition, it
is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, in order to lower expenses of
the District. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the acquisition by the City of the street lights and installation
of LED street lighting specially benefiting the properties within the District has been added to the
improvements.

The maximum allowable assessment per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) listed in the District
budget above, is the amount which was approved in Fiscal Year 1996/97 and subsequent
District annexations. Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City
will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the
upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the total amount of
funds needed to maintain the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual
assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may
not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance
with Proposition 218.
It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the
estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the
fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and
tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the
District is as follows:

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred
upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be
identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be
determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of
improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose
of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including
traffic signals.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must 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 benefit to be
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the
improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division
7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of
California].
Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any
individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of
the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the
improvement".
Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to
the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that
publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that
those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the
assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads,
public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public
greenbelts and public parkways.
The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly
distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 5— City of Rancho Cucamonga 10
Fiscal Year 2024/25
the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit,
where only special benefit is assessed.
Special Benefit
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in
the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the
properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within
the District by:
• improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the
boundaries of the District, and
• ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be
materially detrimental to properties within the District, and
• providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and
• providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District.
The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct
from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not
share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since
these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the
District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said
maintenance.
General Benefit
In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative
general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which
include:
• the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel
through the District
However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct
benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed.
Method of Assessment Spread
Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the
improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the
maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 5— City of Rancho Cucamonga 11
Fiscal Year 2024/25
derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the
maintenance and operation of the improvements.
When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed.
Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus
Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as
property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the
method of assessment became more refined, however, the assessment per parcel has
remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District
formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied
differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed.
To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel
improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as
the basic unit of assessment.
A single-family home equals one EBU. The following table provides the weighting factors
applied by land-use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU
assignment.
Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units
Property Type (County Use Code EBU Value Multiplier
Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel
The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type
determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In
addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an
invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall
be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and
subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU
assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated
rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.
The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2024/25 maximum allowable assessment rates
for the District:
Maximum
Allowable Actual
Assessment Asessment Rate Total
Property Type (County Use Code Rate per EBU per EBU Units/Acres Total EBUs

Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 5— City of Rancho Cucamonga 12
Fiscal Year 2024/25
The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the street lights and traffic
signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to
the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual
assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report.

INTRODUCTION
Reason for Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer's Report will generate the revenue
necessary to:
Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this
Engineer's Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the
following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any
improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other
illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also
include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of
LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual
administration and operation of the District.
Process for Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with
the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer's Report must be
prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of
the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and
parcels of land within the District.
The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which:
• Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the
District for the fiscal year stated therein.
• Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial
changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
• Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the
District.
• Refers to the Engineer's Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed
description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein,
and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the
District.
• Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of
the proposed assessment.
• States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.
If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum
assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of
intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public
hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain
a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 3
Fiscal Year 2024/25
During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any
of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the
District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.
The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing, must then adopt a resolution confirming
the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of
the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the
assessment.
If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously-approved,
the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The
voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California
Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an
assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are
proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to, express their support for, or opposition
to the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various
improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the
boundaries of the District.
Description of the Boundaries of the District
The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of
the District are generally described as the commercial and industrial area of the City which is
generally bounded by Foothill Blvd on the north, 4th St on the south, East Ave on the east and
Grove Ave on the west.
Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report.
Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and
appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not
limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic
signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting
services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and

The maximum allowable assessment per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) listed in the District
budget above, is the amount which was approved in Fiscal Year 1996/97 and subsequent
District annexations. Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City
will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the
upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the total amount of
funds needed to maintain the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual
assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may
not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance
with Proposition 218.
It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the
estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the
fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and
tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the
District is as follows:

Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 9
Fiscal Year 2024/25
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred
upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be
identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be
determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of
improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose
of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including
traffic signals.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must 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 benefit to be
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the
improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division
7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of
California].
Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any
individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of
the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the
improvement".
Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to
the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that
publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that
those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the
assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads,
public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public
greenbelts and public parkways.
The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly
distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by
the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit,
where only special benefit is assessed.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 10
Fiscal Year 2024/25
Special Benefit
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in
the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the
properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within
the District by:
• improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the
boundaries of the District, and
• ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be
materially detrimental to properties within the District, and
• providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and
• providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District.
The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct
from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not
share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since
these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the
District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said
maintenance.
General Benefit
In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative
general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which
include:
• the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel
through the District
However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct
benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed.
Method of Assessment Spread
Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the
improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the
maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit
derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the
maintenance and operation of the improvements.
When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed.
Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus
Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 11
Fiscal Year 2024/25
property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the
method of assessment became more refined, however, the assessment per parcel has
remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District
formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied
differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed.
To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel
improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as
the basic unit of assessment.
A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an
assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of
development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The
following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by
County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment.
Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units
Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier
Non-Residential 1 1.00 1 Acre
The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type
determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In
addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an
invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall
be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and
subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU
assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated
rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.
The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2024/25 maximum allowable assessment rate
for the District:
Maximum
Allowable Actual
Assessment Asessment Rate Total
Property Type (County Use Code Rate per EBU per EBU Units/Acres Total EBUs
Non-Residential $51.40 $51.40 2,577.17 2,577.17
The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the streetlights and traffic
signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to
the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual
assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report.

Fiscal Year 2024/25
INTRODUCTION
Reason for Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer's Report will generate the revenue
necessary to:
Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this
Engineer's Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the
following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any
improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other
illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also
include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of
LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual
administration and operation of the District.
Process for Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with
the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer's Report must be
prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of
the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and
parcels of land within the District.
The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which:
• Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the
District for the fiscal year stated therein.
• Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial
changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
• Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the
District.
• Refers to the Engineer's Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed
description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein,
and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the
District.
• Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of
the proposed assessment.
• States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.
If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum
assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of
intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public
hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain
a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 7 — City of Rancho Cucamonga 3
Fiscal Year 2024/25
During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any
of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the
District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.
The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming
the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of
the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the
assessment.
If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved,
the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The
voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California
Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an
assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are
proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition
to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various
improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the
boundaries of the District.
Description of the Boundaries of the District
The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of
the District are generally described as that area of the City known as North Etiwanda, which is
generally bounded by Highland Ave on the south, Day Creek Channel on the west and City
limits on the east and north.
Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report.
Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and
appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not
limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic
signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting
services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and
repair required to keep the improvements in operational and satisfactory condition. In addition, it
is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, in order to lower expenses of
the District. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the acquisition by the City of the street lights and installation
of LED street lighting specially benefiting the properties within the District has been added to the
improvements.

funds needed to maintain the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual
assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may
not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance
with Proposition 218.
It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the
estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the
fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and
tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred
upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be
identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be
determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of
improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose
of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including
traffic signals.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must 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 benefit to be
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the
improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division
7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of
California].
Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any
individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of
the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the
improvement".
Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to
the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that
publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that
those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the
assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads,
public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public
greenbelts and public parkways.
The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly
distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 7— City of Rancho Cucamonga 10
Fiscal Year 2024/25
the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit,
where only special benefit is assessed.
Special Benefit
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in
the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the
properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within
the District by:
• improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the
boundaries of the District, and
• ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be
materially detrimental to properties within the District, and
• providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and
• providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District.
The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct
from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not
share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since
these improvements were installed and are maintained specifically for the properties within the
District; only properties within the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for said
maintenance.
General Benefit
In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative
general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which
include:
• the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel
through the District
However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct
benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed.
Method of Assessment Spread
Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the
improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the
maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit
derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the
maintenance and operation of the improvements.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 7— City of Rancho Cucamonga 11
Fiscal Year 2024/25
When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed.
Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus
Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as
property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the
method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has
remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District
formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied
differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed.
To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel
improvements to each other. The Equivalent Dwelling Unit ("EDU") method of apportionment
uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment.
A single-family home equals one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). Every other land-use is
converted to EDUs based on an assessment formula that equates to the property's specific
development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a
single-family home. The following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-
use types, as assigned by County use code, to determine each parcel's EDU assignment.
Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units
Property Type (County Use Code) EBU Value Multiplier
Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel
Multi-Family Residential 0.50 Unit
Non-Residential 2.00 Acre
The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type
determination and units/acreage assignments unless better data is available to the City. In
addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an
invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EDU assignment shall
be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and
subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EDU
assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated
rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.

the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual
assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report.

Fiscal Year 2024/25
INTRODUCTION
Reason for Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer's Report will generate the revenue
necessary to:
Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in this
Engineer's Report. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the
following: the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any
improvement. Servicing means the furnishing of electricity, gas or other
illuminating energy for the lighting or appurtenant facilities. This shall also
include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements, the installation of
LED street lighting, and administrative costs associated with the annual
administration and operation of the District.
Process for Annual Assessment
The City cannot levy and collect annual assessments within the District without complying with
the procedures specified in the 1972 Act. On an annual basis, an Engineer's Report must be
prepared which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of
the District and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and
parcels of land within the District.
The City Council must also adopt a resolution of intention which:
• Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the
District for the fiscal year stated therein.
• Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial
changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
• Refers to the District by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the
District.
• Refers to the Engineer's Report, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed
description of the improvements, the boundaries of the District and any zones therein,
and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the
District.
• Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of
the proposed assessment.
• States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.
If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum
assessment amount approved, the City Clerk shall give notice by causing the resolution of
intention to be published. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public
hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain
a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 8— City of Rancho Cucamonga 3
Fiscal Year 2024/25
During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any
of the matters provided in the report, including the improvements, to the zones within the
District, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.
The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming
the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of
the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the
assessment.
If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment amount previously approved,
the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218. The
voters in the State of California in November 1996 added Article XIII D to the California
Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to conduct an
assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are
proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition
to, the proposed assessment or increase in such assessment.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the administration, maintenance, operations, and servicing of various
improvements located within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements within the
boundaries of the District.
Description of the Boundaries of the District
The District is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California. The boundaries of
the District are generally described as that area of the City known as South Etiwanda, which is
generally bounded by Etiwanda Ave on the west, Highland Ave on the north and Foothill Blvd on
the south. The southern portion of the District is bounded by East Ave on the east and the
northern portion of the District is bounded by the 1-15 Freeway on the east.
Reference is also made to the Assessment Diagram included in this Report.
Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and
appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The maintenance and servicing includes, but is not
limited to, furnishing electric current for public lighting facilities including street lights and traffic
signals, and associated appurtenant facilities. Services include personnel, materials, contracting
services, utilities, and all necessary costs associated with the maintenance, replacement and
repair required to keep the improvements in operational and satisfactory condition. In addition, it
is the City's intention to continue to use cost effective materials, in order to lower expenses of
the District. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the acquisition by the City of the street lights and installation
of LED street lighting specially benefiting the properties within the District has been added to the
improvements.

Actual Assessment per EBU - Fiscal Year 2024/25 $ 30.60
Maximum Allowable Assessment per EBU - Fiscal Year 2024/25 $ 193.75
The maximum allowable assessment per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) listed in the District
budget above, is the amount which was approved in Fiscal Year 1996/97 and subsequent
District annexations. Each year, prior to the assessments being placed on the tax roll, the City
will review the budget and determine the amount needed to maintain the improvements for the
upcoming fiscal year. The actual assessment per EBU will be based on the total amount of
funds needed to maintain the improvements in a satisfactory and healthy condition. The actual
assessment amount may be lower than the maximum allowable assessment; however, it may
not exceed the maximum unless the increase is approved by the property owners in accordance
with Proposition 218.
It is the intent of the City to maintain an Operating Reserve which shall not exceed the
estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements prior to December 10 of the
fiscal year, or when the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and
tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The reserve balance information for the
District is as follows:

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and Article XIII D, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred
upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be
identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be
determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of
improvements. The 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts for the purpose
of providing certain public improvements which include the public lighting facilities, including
traffic signals.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must 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 benefit to be
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the
improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division
7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of
California].
Section 22547 of the 1972 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any
individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of
the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the
improvement".
Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to
the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIII D also provides that
publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that
those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the
assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads,
public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public
greenbelts and public parkways.
The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly
distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by
the voters in November 1996, requires the City to separate general benefit from special benefit,
where only special benefit is assessed.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 8— City of Rancho Cucamonga 10
Fiscal Year 2024/25
Special Benefit
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the District (which are described in
the Description of Improvements and Services Section of this report) are for the benefit of the
properties within the District, and as such confer a special and direct benefit to parcels within
the District by:
• improving the livability, safety, appearance, and desirability for properties within the
boundaries of the District, and
• ensuring that improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be
materially detrimental to properties within the District, and
• providing for safe vehicular and pedestrian access for properties within the District, and
• providing beautification and overall enhancement to properties within the District.
The above mentioned items affect the assessed property in a way that is particular and distinct
from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not
share. They contribute to a specific enhancement of the properties within the District. Since
these improvements, including the community trails, were installed and are maintained
specifically for the properties within the District; only properties within the District receive a
special benefit and are assessed for said maintenance.
General Benefit
In addition to the special benefits received by parcels within the District, there are derivative
general benefits that are conferred on parcels outside the boundaries of the District which
include:
• the safety and visual enhancement of the area to persons or vehicles that may travel
through the District
However, it has been determined that these benefits are derivative and do not provide a direct
benefit to parcels outside of the district that are not being assessed.
Method of Assessment Spread
Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the
improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it as a result of the
maintenance and operation of improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit
derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the
maintenance and operation of the improvements.
When the District was formed, Article XIII D and Proposition 218 had not yet been passed.
Upon the passage of Article XIII D and the subsequent passage of the Proposition Omnibus
Implementation Act, new rules were put into place. Due to the changes in legal requirements, as
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 8— City of Rancho Cucamonga 11
Fiscal Year 2024/25
property annexed to the District after the passage of the Assessment Law, the description of the
method of assessment became more refined; however, the assessment per parcel has
remained the same since Fiscal Year 1996/97. Further, no parcel included in the District
formation or annexations prior to when the language was refined, are now being levied
differently than they were at the time the District was formed or the parcels were annexed.
To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel
improvements to each other. The EBU method of apportionment uses the single-family home as
the basic unit of assessment.
A single-family home equals one EBU. Every other land-use is converted to EBUs based on an
assessment formula that equates to the property's specific development status, type of
development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home. The
following table provides the weighting factors applied to various land-use types, as assigned by
County use code, to determine each parcel's EBU assignment.
Land-Use Equivalent Dwelling Units
Property Type County Use Code EBU Value Multiplier
Single Family Residential 1.00 Parcel
Multi-Family Residential 1.00 Unit
Non-Residential 2.00 Acre
The use of the latest County Assessor's Secured Roll shall be the basis for the Property Type
determination and units/acreage assignments, unless better data is available to the City. In
addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an
invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, the Property Type and EBU assignment shall
be based on the correct parcel number and/or new parcel number(s) County use code and
subsequent property information. If a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the EBU
assignment and assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels will be recalculated
rather than spread the proportionate share of the original assessment.
The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2024/25 maximum allowable assessment rates
for the District:
Maximum
Allowable Actual
Assessment Asessment Rate Total
Property Type (County Use Code Rate per EBU per EBU Units/Acres Total EBUs
Single Family Residential $193.75 $30.60 1,206.00 1,206.00
Multi-Family Residential 193.75 30.60 1,381.00 1,381.00
Non-Residential 193.75 30.60 31.89 63.78

Fiscal Year 2024/25
The total amount of maintenance and incidental costs for maintaining the street lights and traffic
signals is assessed to the individual parcels of real property within the District in proportion to
the special benefit received by such parcels of real property. The proposed individual
assessments are shown on the assessment roll in this report.
