AUTHORITY FOR REPORT
This report for the 94/95 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 X[IIA. 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

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:
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.
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.
Resolution No. 94-090
Page 8
Category A:
All parcels containing existing residential dwelling units and meeting the following conditions.
Parcel Size Range
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
Number of Existing Res.
Dwelling Units/Parcel
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 currently 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 1994/95 is
$52.00 per 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 $52.00 times the
number of dwelling units.
