Annual Report
PD-85
Fiscal Year 1996/97
AUTHORITY FOR REPORT
This report for the 96/97 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 Highways 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-85, 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 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 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.

METHOD OF SPREAD
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 indicates that assessments may be apportioned by any
formula or method which fairly distributes costs among all lots or parcels with 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:
Resolution No. 96-077
Page 7
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 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.
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 1.5 acres and
1.51 to 3.5 acres and
3.51 to 7.0 acres and
7.01 to 14.0 acres and
14.01 to 25.0 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:AI1 exempt parcels as defined below:
All properties currently tax exempt;
All public ownerships;
Railroad mainline rights-of-way;
Resolution No. 96-077
