In 2018, the City initiated proceedings to form a proposed landscape maintenance district (referred
to as LMD 18-1) within the boundaries of the existing LMD 83-1. Proposed LMD 18-1 would have added
properties that previously were not assessed and established different benefit zones, and increased
assessments currently imposed on properties in the existing LMD 83-1. Proposed LMD 18-1 was
balloted for an increase in assessments with annual cost indexing based on the San Diego-Carlsbad
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI), not to exceed 3.0 percent. Proposed LMD 18-1
had a majority protest for the increase, and consequently failed to pass the ballot and was not formed.
Fiscal Year 2023-24 assessments for Zone A are proposed to remain unchanged at the Fiscal Year
2022-23 rate of $118.48 per benefit unit per year; Zone B Fiscal Year 2023-24 assessments are
proposed to remain at the Fiscal Year 2022-23 rate of $235.75 per benefit unit per year; and Zone C
Fiscal Year 2023-24 assessments are proposed to remain at the Fiscal Year 2022-23 rate of $496.16
per benefit unit per year.
LMD 83-1 currently has no approved escalation factor for increasing the maximum assessment rate.
Failure of an assessment increase by ballot for LMD 83-1 in Fiscal Year 2017-18, led to a reduction in
maintenance services. Landscape maintenance service levels for Zones A, Band C will remain at level
C and may be subject to further adjustments to align with assessment revenue and to accommodate
unexpected repair needs that arise. Service level C consists of performing landscape maintenance
(e.g., irrigation inspection, removal of trash and debris, trimming of shrubs, fertilizing, mowing, edging,
pruning, sweeping) for respective areas within LMD 83-1 on a monthly basis.
