City Clerk Resolution No. 93-091 Page 3 Annual Engineers Report City of Rancho Cucamonga PD-85 Fiscal Year 1993/94 Approved: ~~~L~,/ William .~Neil, City Engineer, Resolution No. 93-091 Page 4 City of Rancho Cucamonga Annual Report PD-85 Fiscal Year 1993/94 AUTHORITY FOR REPORT This report for the 93/94 fiscal year is prepared pursuant to the order of the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 1, Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, being Division 15, Section 22500 of the Streets and ~ghway~ code. Provisions for this annual assessment are included in Chapter 3 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. The purpose of this report is to set forth findings and the assessment analysis for the annual levy of assessments for the Parks and Recreation Improvement District No. PD-S5, thereafter referred to as "the District". This District, using direct benefit assessments, has been created to provide funds to finance the cost of construction, maintenance, operation and debt payment of Heritage Community Park and Red Hill Community Park in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. FINDINGS Section 22573, Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, requires assessments to be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. The section states: "The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from Ihe improvements." The means of determining whether or not a parcel will benefit from the improvements is contained in the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7, commencing with Section 5(X)0 of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California). The 1972 Act also provides for the classification of various areas within an assessment district into benefit areas where, by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of all territory receiving substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements and may consist of contiguous or noncontiguous areas. As the assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are considered a user's fee, not a tax; and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA. Properties owned by public agencies, such as a city, county, state, or the federal government, are not assessable without the approval of the particular agency and, normally, are not assessed. Certain other parcels used for railroad mainline right-of-way, public utility transmission right-of-way, and common areas are also exempt from assessment. The assessment for mobile home parks will be based upon underlying lot acreage. DISTRICT ANALYSIS Improvement District Boundary The improvement district includes all of the City of Rancho Cucamonga with the general exception of land east of Deer Creek Channel and the Victoria & Terra Vista Planned Communities.

A. Definitions The District is divided into three categories for the purpose of determining the assessments as follows: CATEGORY A - includes parcels basecl on the number of existing residential units within certain ranges of parcel size. CATEGORY 13 - includes aU parcels not defined in Category A or Category C. CATEGORY C - includes exempt parcels. Exempt parcels were discovered by searching the County Assessor's computer tapes for those parcels that are listed as exempt by the Assessor or which have an assessed value of less than $,500. In conducting the search, several parcels were included as exempt that show parcel sizes in excess of 1.5 acres and type codes of, for example, residential or agriculture. These parcels were added back into the rolls and assessed. Formula The assessment formula is based on actual land use information contained in the current San Bernardino Assessor's computer files and Assessor's parcel maps. Resolution No. 93-091 Page 7 Category A: All parcels containing existing residential dwelling units and meeting the following conditions. Parcel Size Range Number of Existing Res. Dwelling Units/Parcel Less than 15 acres and 151 to 3.5 acres and 3.51 to 7.0 acres and 7.01 to 14.0 acres and 14.01 to 2~.0 acres and 25.01 acres & larger and 1 or more dwelling units 2 or more dwelling units 4 or more dwelling units 8 or more dwelling units 15 or more dwelling units 26 or more dwelling units Category A is based on the number of existing residential units. The actual assessment for Bond Debt Service per existing residential dwelling unit may decrease each year as more residential units are built within the improvement district. Maintenance costs, however, are expected to increase annually and will somewhat offset the anticipated decrease in assessments due to new development. Category B: All parcel not defined in Category A or Category C. Category C: All exempt parcels as defined below: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. All properties cur~enfiy tax exempt; All public ownerships; Railroad mainline rights-of-way; Major utility transmission rights-of-way; Mineral rights; Parcels so small they currently cannot be built upon; All normally assessable parcels within an assessed valuation of less than $500 and 1.5 acres or less; and Summary of Preliminary Assessment Amounts Category A: The preliminary estimated assessment rate which will be levied during fiscal year 1993/94 is $52.00 per dwelling unit for those parcels in Category A.
