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 for the Park and Recreation Improvement District No. 85-PD, 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. Findinqs Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of ]972, 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 ap- portioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.' The means of determining whether or not a parcel will benefit from the improvements is contained in the Improvement Act of ]911 (Division 7, commencing with Section 5000 of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California). The ]972 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 during differing degrees of benefit from the improvements. Benefiting areas consist 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. Resolution No. 89-2~5 Page 6 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 non-profit organizations (i.e., churches, clubs) are also exempt from assessment. The assessment for mobile home parks will be based upon underlying lot acreage. District Analysis A. 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. Ail parcels of real property affected are more particularly described in maps prepared in accordance with Section 327 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, which are on file in the office of the San Bernardino County Assessor in the Hall of Records, ]72 West Third Street, San Bernardino, California and which are hereby made a part hereof by reference. B. District Name City of Rancho Cucamonga Park Improvement District No. 85-PD. C. Facilities The existing works of improvement are generally described as follows: 1.

Resolution No. 89-225 Page 7 Estimate of Cost The Landscaping and Lighting Act of ]972 permits carrying forward surpluses or recovering deficits in subsequent fiscal year. Costs for the district will be reviewed annually. Any surplus credited against assessments or any deficits shall be included in the assessment for the following fiscal year. ]989-]990 Fiscal Year Estimated Costs & Budget Summary Balance from ]988-89 Budget $ 47,887 Contributions (interest earned) Redemption Fund/Limited $ 32,552 to Pay Bond Debt Service Special Reserve Fund/Limited $ ]6,965 to Pay Bond Debt Service Total Estimated Available Funds $ 97,404 County Special Charges $ 5,483 Administration Charges $ 87,728 Consultant's Fees $ -0- Fiscal Agent Charges $ ],243 Debt Service Installment (]/2/90) $303,733 Debt Service Installment (7/2/90) $503,733 Operation & Maintenance $]90,87] $],092,79] Balance to Assessment $995,387 Method of Spread The Landscaping and Lighting Act of ]972 indicates that assessments may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes costs among all 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 all parcels not defined in Category A or Category C. Resolution No. 89-225 Page 8 Category - includes exempt parcels. Exempt parcels were C 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 ].5 acres and type codes of, for example, 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: All parcels containing existing residential dwelling units and meeting the following conditions: Number of Existing Res. Parcel Size Range Dwelling Units/Parcel Less than 1.5 acres and 1 or more dwelling units ~.5] to 3.5 acres and 2 or more dwelling units 3.5~ to 7.0 acres and 4 or more dwelling units 7.0] to ]4.0 acres and 8 or more dwelling units ]4.0~ to 25.0 acres and 15 or more dwelling units 25.0! acre & larger and 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 parcels not defined in Category A or Category C. Category C: All exempt parcels as defined below: 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 within an assessed valuation of less than $500 and 1.5 acres or less; and 8. non-profit organizations (i.e., churches). Resolution No. 89-225 Page 9 C. Summary of Preliminary Assessment Amounts Category A: The preliminary estimated assessment rate which will be levied during fiscal year ]989/90 is $33.50 per residential dwelling unit for those parcels in Category A. Category A parcels containing more than on residential dwelling unit will be assessed for an amount equal to $33.50 times the number of dwelling units. Category B: The assessment which may be levied for parcels within Category B during fiscal year 1989/90 shall be according to the following schedule: Definition Assessment Per Parcel less than 1.50 acres $ 16.75 1.51 acres to 3.50 acres $ 50.25 3.51 acres to 7.0 acres $I]7.25 7.01 acres to 14.0 acres $234.50 ]4.01 acres to 25.0 acres $469.00 25.01 acres and larger $837.50 Category C: The assessment shall be $0.0 for Category C parcels.
