SgC~ION I - AUTHORITy FOR REPORT
This report for the 1988-1989 Fiscal Year update 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 l, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,
being Division 15, Section 22500 of the Streets and Highway Code. Provisions
for this annual assessment are included in Chapter 3 of the Landscaping 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 ior the Park and Recreation Improvement
District No. 85-PO, thereafter referred to as "the District". This District,
utilizing direct benefit assessments, has been created to provide funds to
finance the cost of construction, maintenance, and operation of Heritage
Community Park and Red Hill Community Park in the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Resolution No. 88-395

SECTION 2 - FINDINC, S
Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of i972, 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 zn
proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot
or parcel from the 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 5000 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 wili
receive during differing degrees of benefit from the improvements. Benefiting
areas consist of ail 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 Articie 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, common areas,
and nonprofit organizations (i.e., churches, clubs) are also exempt from
assessment.
The assessment for mobile home parks will be based upon underlying lot acreage.

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 indicates ChaC assessments may be
apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes costs among ali
lots or parcels within the District in proportion to the estimated benefits
received.
A. Definitions
The District is divided into three categories for the purpose of
determining the assessments as follows:
Category A - includes parcels based on the number of existing
residential units within certain ranges of parcel size.
Category B - includes ail 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 that $500. In conducting this search, several parcels
were included as exempt that show parcel sizes in excess of 1.5 acres
and type codes of, for exampie, residential or agriculture. These
parcels were added back into the rolls and assessed.
B. 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.
Category A:
Ail parcels containing existing residential dwelling units and meeting
the following conditions:
Assessor's Number of Existing Res.
Size Range Parcel Size Ran&e Dwelling Units/Parcel
0-4 Less than 1.5 acres and 1 or more dwelling units
5 1.51 to 3.5 acres and 2 or more dwelling units
6 3.51 to 7.0 acres and 4 or more dwelling units
7 7.01 to 14.0 acres and 8 or more dwelling units
8 14.01 to 25.0 acres and 15 or more dwelling units
9 25.01 acres & larger and 26 or more dweliing units
Resolution No. 88-395
Page 9
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:
Ail parcels not defined in Category A or Category C.
Category C:
Ail exempt parcels as defined below:
1. all properties currently tax exempt;
2. all public ownerships;
3. railroad mainline rights-of-way;
4. major utility transmission rights-of-way;
5. mineral rights;
6. parcels so small they currently cannot be built upon;
7. all normally assessable parcels with an assessed valuation of less
that $500 and 1.5 acres or less, and
8. nonprofit organizations (i.e., churches).
C. Summary of Preliminary Assessment Amounts
Category A:
The preliminary estimated assessment which will be levied annually is
$33.50 per residential dwelling unit for those parcels in category A.
Category A parcels containing more than one residential dwelling unit will
be assessed for an amount equal to $33.50 times the number of dwelling
units.
Resolution No. 88-395
Page 10
Category B:
The assessment which may be levied for parcels within Category B shall be
according to the following scheduke:
Assessor's
Size Range Definition Assessment Per Parcel*
0 - 4 less than 1.5 acres $ 16.75
5 1.5 acres to 3.5 acres $ 50.25
6 3.51 acres to 7.0 acres $117.25
7 7.01 acres to 14.0 acres $234.50
8 i4.01 acres to 25.0 acres $469.00
9 25.01 acres and larger $837.50
Category C:
The assessment shall be $0.0 for Category C parcels.
* Some assessments may vary from the values given above by $.01 or $.02
either way. The computer spreads the actual Balance to Assessment,
carries the extra pennies left over from an even spread, and adds them
one at a time to the assessment roll from the first parcel downward to
make the total assessment spread exactly equal the Balance to
Assessment.
The individual 1988-1989 assessments by Assessor's parcel number (Exhibit B)
have been tabulated and are on file at City Hall with the City Clerk of the City
of Rancho Cucamonga and are hereby made a part hereof by this reference.
