CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PARK AND RECREATION IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 85-PD (HERITAGE AND RED HILL COMMUNITY PARKS) REPORT PURSUANT TO LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ACT OF 1972 FISCAL YEAR 1986-1987 MAY 13, 1986 290 Soufn Anaheim Biva., Suste 100, Anaheim, California 92805 · [744] 7'/4-5740 · (213] 924J631 TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1 SECTION 2 SECTION 3 SECTION 4 SECTION 5 EXHIBIT A AUTHORITY FOR REPORT FINDINGS DISTRICT ANALYSIS ESTIMATE OF COST METHOD OF SPREAD ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM MAPS PAGE 1 2 3 4 5 SECTION 1 - AUTHORITY FOR REPORT This report for the 1986-1987 Fiscal Year update is prepared pursuant to the order of the Cab/Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 1, 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 for Park and Recreation Im- provement District No. 85-PD, thereafter referred to as "the District". This District, utilizing direct benefit assessments, has been created to provide funds to fin4nce the cost of construction, maintenance, and oper- ation of Heritage Community Park and Red Hill Community Park in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. SECTION 2 - FINDINGS Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, requires assess- ments 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 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 will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements. Benelating 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 con- sidered a user's fee, not a tax; and, therefore, are not governed by Ar- ticle 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 the underlying lot acreage. SECTION 3 - DISTRICT ANALYSIS Improvement District Boundary The improvement district includes all of the City of Rancho Cuca- monga with the general exception of the Etiwanda area in the northeasterly section of the City. The Etiwanda area is not in- cluded in the improvement district because community park design and construction in that area is, in general, being financed by velopment fees pursuant to the Quaruby Act. The assessment dis- trict boundary is shown on the assessment diagram map (Exhibit A). All parcels of real property affected are more particularly de- scribed 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, 172 West Third Street, San Bernardino, California and which are hereby made a part hereof by reference. District Name City of Rancho Cucamonga Park Improvement District No. 85-PD Facilities The existing works of improvement are generally described as fol lows: The construction of Heritage Community Park including, but not limited to, grading; planting; irrigation; onsite roads; sidewalks; parking lots; lighting; restrooms; equestrian facilities; playground equipment; picnic facilities; athletic facilities; and walking, jogging and equestrian trails. The construction of Red Hill Community Park including, but not limited to, grading, planting, irrigation, onsite roads, sidewalks, parking lots, lighting, waterscape, restrooms, senior citizens facilities, playground equipment, picnic facilities, major lighted athletic facilities, jogging trail, underground storm drain system, and adjacent public street imp roveme ntl. SECTION 4 - ESTIMATE OF COST The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 197:2 permits carrying forward sur- pluses or recovering deficits in subsequent fiscal years. Costs for the district will be reviewed annually. Any surplus credited against assess- ments or any deficits shall be included in the assessment for the following fiscal year. 1986-1987 Fiscal Year Estimated Costs and Budget Summary Deficit from 1985-1986 Budget Contributions ( interest earned) Redemption Fund (Limited to Pay Bond Debt Service) Special Reserve Fund (Limited to Pay Bond Debt Service) Total Estimated Available Funds County Special Charges Administration Charges Consultants' Fees Fiscal Agent Charges First Debt Service Installment (1/2/87) Second Debt Service Installment (7/2/87) Total Estimated Costs ($19,299.75) 22,780.00 44,613.50 $ 48,093.75 $ 200.00 56,280.00 25,000.00 1,500.00 324,770.00 479,770.00 $887,520.00 Balance to Assessment $839,426.25 SECTION 5 - METHOD OF SPREAD The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 indicates that lighting assess- ments may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distrib- utes 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 de- termining 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, Category C - includes exempt parcels. Exempt parcels were dis- covered 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 this search, several parcels were included as exempt that show parcel sizes in excess :,,~ 1.5 acrll and type codes of, for example, re~ adentail 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 ~iles and Assessor's parcel maps. Category A: All parcels containing existing residential dwelling units and meet- ing the following conditions: Assellor'l Size Range Parcel Size Range Number of Existing Res. Dwelling Units per Parcel 0-4 5 6 7 8 9 Less than 1.5 acre 1.51 acres to 3.5 acres 3.51 acres to 7.0 acres 7.01 acres to 14.0 acrll 14.01 acres to 25.0 acres 25.01 acres and larger and 1 or more dwelling units and 2 or more dwelling units and 4 or more dwelling units and 8 or more dwelling units and 15 or more dwelling units 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 residen- tial dwelling unit may decrease each year as more residential units are built within the improvement district. Maintenance costs, how- ever, are expected to increase annually and will somewhat of{set 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: 1. all properties currently tax exempt; 2. all public ownerships; railroad mainline rights-o{-way; major utility transmission rights-of-way; 5. mineral rights; 6. parcels so small they currently cannot be built upon; all normally assessable parcels with an assessed valuation less than $500 and 1.5 acres or less; and 8. nonprofit organizations [i.e., churches). 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 Catego- ry 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. Category B: The assessment which may be levied annually for parcels within Category B shall be according to the following schedule: Asleslor's Assessment Size Range Definition per Parcel* 0-4 5 6 7 8 9 less than 1.5 acres $ 16.75 1.51 acres to 3.5 acres 50.25 3.51 acres to 7.0 acres 117.25 7.01 acres to 14.0 acres 234.50 14.01 acres to 25.0 acres 469.00 25.01 acres and larger 837.50 Category C: The assessment shall be $0.00 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 ex- actly equal the Balance to Assessment. The individual 1986-1987 assessments by Assessor's parcel number (Exhib- it 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.
