Annual Report
85-PD
Fiscal Year 1990/91
AUTHORITY FOR REPORT
This report for the 1990/91 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. 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.
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 XlllA. Properties owned by public agencies, such as
a city, county, state, or the federal govemment, 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.

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 Bemardino 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 I or more dwelling units
1.51 to 3.5 acres and 2 or more dwelling units
3.51 to 7.0 acres and 4 or more dwelling units
7.01 to 14.0 acres and 8 or more dwelling units
14.01 to 25.0 acres and 15 or more dwelling units
25.01 acres & 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 parcel not defined In Category A or Category C.
Resolution No. 90-222

Category C:
All 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 within an assessed valuation of less than $500
and 1.5 acres or less; and
8. Non-profit organizations (i.e., churches).
C. Summary of Preliminary Assessment Amounts
Category A:
The preliminary estimated assessment rate which will be levied during fiscal year
1990/91 is $35.18 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 $35.18 times the number of dwelling units.
