SECTION I - AU~{ORIT¥ ~R REPORT
This report for the 1988-1989 Fiscal Year update is prepared pursuant to the
order of the City Gouncil of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and in compliance
with the requirements of Article 4, (~apter 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 the Park and Recreation Improvement
District No. 85-PD, thereafter referred to as "the District". This District,
utilizing direct benefit assessments, has been created to provide funds to
finance the cost of construction, maintenance, and operation of Heritage
Community Park and Red Hill Community Park in the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Resolution No. 88-279

SECTION 2 - FINDINGS
Section 22573, Landscaping 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 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.
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 underlying lot acreage.

SECTION 5 - ~OD OF SPREAD
The landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 indicates that assessments may be
apportioned b~ an~ 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.
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
that $500. In conducting this search, seweral parcels were included as
exempt that show parcel s~zes 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 f~les and Assessor's
parcel maps.
Ca te gory A:
All parcels containing existing residential d~elling units and meeting the
following conditions:
Resolution NO. 88-279
Page 10
Assessor's Number of Existing Res.
Size Range Parcel Size Range Dwellin& Units/Parcel
0-4 Less than 1.5 acres and 1 or more d~elling units
5 1.51 to 3.5 acres and 2 or more dwelling units
6 3.51 to 7.0 acres and 4 or more dwelling units
7 7.01 to 14.0 acres and 8 or more dwelling units
8 14.01 to 25.0 acres and 15 or more dwelling units
9 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 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;
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 with an assessed valuation of less
that $500 and 1.5 acres or less, and
8. Nonprofit organizations (i.e., churches).
Resolution No. 88-279

C. S-mmary 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 category 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 for parcels within Category B shall be
according to the following schedule:
Assessor I S
Size Range Definition Assessment Per Parcel*
0 - 4 less than 1.5 acres $ 16.75
5 1.5 acres to 3.5 acres $ 50.25
6 3.51 acres to 7.0 acres $117.25
7 7.01 acres to 14.0 acres $234.50
8 14.01 acres to 25.0 acres $469.00
9 25.01 acres and larger $837.50
Category C:
The assessment shall be $0.0 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 exactly equal
the Balance to Assessment.
The individual 1988-89 assessments by Assessor's parcel number (Exhibit 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.
