I. OVERVIEW
A.INTRODUCTION
The City of Poway (“City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain
the improvements within the Landscape Maintenance District 86-1 (“District”) formed June 12,
1986, pursuant to the City of Poway Resolution No. 00-034 (Policies for Landscape Maintenance
Districts) and the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California
Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”), in compliance with California Constitution Article XIIID
(“Article XIIID”). The 1972 Act and Article XIIID are collectively referred to herein as “Assessment
Law”.
This Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (“Report”) has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 1, Article
4 and Chapter 3 of the 1972 Act, and presented to the City Council for their consideration and
approval of the improvements and services to be provided within District. This Report describes
the District, any proposed changes to the District including substantial changes to the District
improvements, the parcels to be assessed, and the proposed assessments related thereto to
fund the costs and expenses required to service and maintain designated improvements within
the District that provide special benefits to those parcels for Fiscal Year 2017/2018. Annually,
the City establishes the District’s assessments based on the special benefit received by the
properties in the District and the associated net special benefit expenses resulting from an
estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the improvements in conjunction with
available revenues including fund balances, general benefit contributions, additional City
contributions, and current assessment limits. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only
those improvements provided and for which the parcel receives benefit based on an established
method of apportionment.
The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its
own Assessor’s Parcel Number by the County of San Diego (“County”) Assessor’s Office. The
County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers, to
identify on the tax roll, properties assessed for special district benefit assessments.
Following consideration of public comments and written protests at a noticed public hearing, and
review of the Report, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report
as submitted. Following final approval of the Report, and confirmation of the assessments, the
Council may order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 pursuant to
the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County
Auditor/Controller, and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel for Fiscal Year
2017/2018.
B.COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT LEGISLATION
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the City Council annually conducts a public hearing to accept public
comments and testimony, and to approve the annual assessments to be levied on the County
tax roll for the fiscal year. All assessments contained in this Report and to be approved by the
City Council have been prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with
the provisions of Article XIIID of the Constitution of the State of California (“Proposition 218”).
The City has reviewed the provisions of Article XIIID of Proposition 218 and has made the
following findings and determinations:
Resolution No. 17-016
Page 7
Pursuant to Article XIIID, Section 5, certain existing assessments are exempt from the
procedures and approval process set forth in Article XIIID, Section 4, and property owner
balloting for the assessments is not required until such time that the assessments are increased.
Since the District assessments were imposed pursuant to a petition signed by the persons
owning all of the parcels subject to the assessments at the time the assessments were initially
imposed, Article XIIID Section 5 (b) exempts the existing assessment amounts (approved original
assessment rates including any applicable annual escalation factor) from the procedural
requirements of Article XIIID, Section 4.
The provisions of Article XIIID do not alter the non-conflicting provisions of the 1972 Act. As such,
the method of apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment
engineering practices consistent with the 1972 Act and the provisions of Article XIIID. The
proposed assessments for the current fiscal year are less than or equal to the adjusted maximum
assessment rate previously approved and adopted for the District. The application of this
adjusted maximum assessment rate for the various land uses within the District is described in
more detail in Section III D of this Report. Any proposed assessment that exceeds the adjusted
maximum assessment rate is considered an increased assessment. Pursuant to the provisions
of Article XIIID, all new or increased assessments (the incremental increase) are subject to both
the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID, Section 4.
C.IMPROVEMENTS AUTHORIZED BY THE 1972 ACT
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements
to mean one or any combination of the following:
The installation or planting of landscaping.
The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures
and facilities.
The installation or construction of public lighting facilities.
The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the
foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing
thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the
installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water,
irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities.
The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing.
The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this
section.
Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
The cost of preparation of the Report, including plans, specifications, estimates,
diagram, and assessment;
The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices;
Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments;
Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services;
Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and
servicing of the improvements;
Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section
22662.5; and,
Resolution No. 17-016
Page 8
Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased
assessment.
The 1972 Act defines "Maintain" or "maintenance" to mean furnishing of services and materials
for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement.
Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation,
irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury.
The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste.
The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove
or cover graffiti.

Resolution No. 17-016
Page 10
C. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS
The improvements to be maintained by the District are defined as landscape improvements within
the right-of-ways and open space areas associated with the development of the subdivisions and
parcels within the District and are considered to be improvements that were either installed in
direct connection with the development of those properties or were installed for the benefit of
those properties as a result of property development or potential development of those properties
and were considered necessary for the development of those properties to their full and best use.
These improvement areas within the District may include, but are not limited to landscaping
adjacent to the developments along portions of Espola Road, Titan Way, Painted Desert Road,
Woodland Parkway, Summer Sage Road, Lake Poway Road, Riparian Road, Sunset Drive, Del
Poniente Road and Twin Peaks Roads. Some of the District improvement areas are currently
maintained by the adjacent property owner or property owners through a Homeowner’s
Association. In such cases, those property owners are not assessed for the maintenance of those
improvements.
Walls and fences adjacent to private property are to be maintained by the adjacent property
owners. The District/City, prior to commencement of work, shall approve repairs or reconstruction
of any walls or fences adjacent to the District landscape areas. Should the property owners desire
to include major repairs or reconstruction within the District’s responsibilities, the property owners
are required to submit a petition to initiate the balloting process set forth in Article XIIID, Section
4.
Landscape maintenance performance standards and specifications have been developed by the
City to assure quality maintenance of landscape assessment district properties. A recent
evaluation of the level of quality has been conducted, and the current maintenance levels meet
the City's landscape maintenance standards.
D. PROPERTIES BENEFITING FROM IMPROVEMENTS
The properties determined to receive benefit are those lots or parcels that, as a result of
development or redevelopment, finance, construct, install, and/or establish landscape
improvements within public right-of-ways or public easements (permanent public improvement)
or adjoining lots or parcels that, as a result of development or redevelopment, receive access or
are immediately adjacent to lots or parcels which contain landscape improvements maintained by
a landscape maintenance district.
Special benefit, as defined in the “Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972”, applicable provisions of
“Proposition 218”, and provisions of the “Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act”
(“Assessment Law”) and in this Report, shall be assessed to those properties determined to
receive special benefit from the District’s improvements.
A listing of the parcels receiving special benefit from the District improvements and which are
proposed to be assessed for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 is outlined in Appendix B of this Report.
For Fiscal Year 2017/2018 the City and Assessment Engineer have determined that specific
parcels do not receive special benefit from the improvements to be maintained within the District
for Fiscal Year 2017/2018. Therefore, pursuant to Chapter 2 Article 2 Section 22609 of the Act,
the City is proposing to detach the following parcels from the District commencing in Fiscal Year
2017/2018:

III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A.GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of
providing certain public improvements that include the construction, maintenance and servicing
of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the
cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
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 formula used for calculating assessments in this District therefore reflects the composition
of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based
on benefit to each parcel.
In addition, Article XIIID requires that a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost
of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Article XIIID provides that only
special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special
benefits. A special benefit is a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits
conferred on the public at large, including real property within the district. The general
enhancement of property value does not constitute a special benefit.
B.BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements, the associated costs and assessments within the District has been
reviewed, identified and allocated based on the special benefit parcels receive from such
improvements pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID and the 1972 Act. All improvements
associated with this District have been identified as necessary, required and/or desired for the
orderly development of the properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with the
proposed development plans. As such, these improvements would be necessary and required
of individual property owners for the development of such properties, and the ongoing operation,
servicing and maintenance of these improvements would be the financial obligation of those
properties. Therefore, the improvements and the annual costs of maintenance and operation of
the improvements are of special benefit to the properties.
All the lots or parcels are established at the same time once the conditions regarding the
improvements and the continued maintenance are met. As a result, each lot or parcel within the
District receives a special and distinct benefit from the improvements and to the same degree.
Resolution No. 17-016
Page 12
Over time, the improvements continue to confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon the
lots or parcels within the District because of the nature of the improvements. The proper
maintenance of the improvements and appurtenant facilities reduces property related crimes,
especially vandalism, against properties in the District. All of the above mentioned factors also
contribute to a specific benefit to each of the parcels within the District.
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) is based on the premise that each
assessed parcel within the District receives benefit from the improvements. However, each
individual improvement element has its own distinct benefits both specific and general. The
special benefits associated with the improvements within the District are as follows:
Special Benefit
The special benefits associated with the landscaping improvements in the District are
specifically:
Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements;
Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the
area;
Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from
adequate green space, open space areas and landscaping;
Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris
control, and fire prevention;
Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-
maintained improvements associated with the properties;
Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against
properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including
abatement of graffiti; and,
Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing
oxygenation and attenuating noise.
General Benefit
Assessment Law mandates that the City assess for special benefit only, and the City shall
separate general benefit from special benefit. General benefit is defined as services
provided to the public-at-large. Special benefit is defined as services provided at a level
greater than the services provided to the public-at-large.
The City’s general benefit to the public-at-large is determined as the average expenditure
from the General Fund for the maintenance of landscaped medians and right-of-ways,
calculated on a per square foot basis. The City shall make a general benefit contribution to
a district based on the City’s average rate of expenditure from the General Fund for the
various types of improvements applied to the square footage of similar types of
improvements within the District.
No new improvements are proposed to be added for Fiscal Year 2017/2018:
LANDSCAPE ELEMENT QUANTITY
Landscaped Right-of-Ways 370,369 Sq. Ft.
Landscaped Right-of-Ways with Soundwall 2,275 Sq. Ft.
Resolution No. 17-016
Page 13
Landscaped Median 8,929 Sq. Ft.
The City shall annually conduct an audit to determine the average expenditure from the
General Fund for the maintenance of landscape improvements within the public right -of-
ways or public easements, calculated on a per square foot basis. The general benef it for
Fiscal Year 2017/2018 is determined to be:
$0.2748 per square foot for landscape medians,
$0.1142 per square foot for landscape right-of-ways, and
$0.2919 per square foot for landscape right-of-ways with soundwall
As part of the audit, the City shall determine the average expenditure from the General Fund
for the maintenance of District landscape improvements. Based on an increase of 1.94
percent in the San Diego Consumer Price Index (the average of All Urban Consumers and
Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers), comparable services provided by the City of
Poway staff for general landscape services, the general benefit for Fiscal Year 2017/2018
will increase from Fiscal Year 2016/2017, based on the contribution rate per square foot, at
a maximum for this District:
ZONE A
370,369 sq. ft. landscaped R/W X $0.1142 = $42,296.14
2,275 sq. ft. landscape R/W with soundwall X $0.2919 = $664.07
8,929 sq. ft. landscaped medians X $0.2748 = $2,453.69
All other maintenance, operation, administrative, and incidental costs which exceed the
City’s general benefit contribution to the public-at-large are of special benefit and assessed
to the District.
The City shall have an option as to how it will make the general benefit contributions to the
District. The City shall make its general benefit contribution by either:
providing irrigation water to the District for irrigation of LMD improvements in an
amount equal to the City’s general benefit contribution, or
paying directly to the District from the General Fund a dollar amount equal to the
City’s general benefit contribution.
C. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The total cost of special benefit for maintenance of the public improvements funded by the District
will be assessed to the various parcels in the District in proportion to the benefit units assigned
to each parcel, in relationship to the total benefit units assigned to all parcels being assessed.
Residential Land Uses
All residential subdivisions shall be assessed proportional to special benefit received based on
one (1) benefit unit per residential dwelling unit.
Resolution No. 17-016
Page 14
Non-residential Land Uses
All non-residential parcels shall be assessed proportional to special benefit received based on
the average planned dwelling unit density throughout the urban areas of the City (four dwelling
units per acre), the equivalent of four (4) benefit units per acre.
Non-residential land uses typically provide services and/or employment opportunities for the City
that benefit all lands throughout the City. Since these non-residential land uses can occur
throughout the City, the planned, average density of residential dwelling units per acre for the
urban areas of the City has been calculated. The non-residential land uses are considered to
dislocate residential units. Therefore, the number of residential dwelling units dislocated, based
on the average dwelling units per acre, has been assigned to non-residential lands. This method
determines an equivalent benefit to residential land uses. Appendix B details the calculation of
the average residential units per acre planned within the urban areas of the City. Urban areas
have been defined as the parcels receiving water and sewer services.
In-Lieu Assessments
Under provisions of City policy, parcels may contribute in-lieu assessments by providing
equivalent maintenance services for District improvements within public right-of-ways or public
easements immediately adjacent to their lands.
For Fiscal Year 2017/2018 the TPM 90-06 development known as the Church of Latter Day
Saints property which is identified as Zone B, and the TTM 88-15 development known as the
Green Valley Estates which is identified as Zone E, currently have agreements in place with the
City to maintain the right-of -ways bordering those developments. As such, the properties in these
two Zones will not be levied assessments for Fiscal Year 2017/2018.
Non-benefiting Parcels
All public and private streets, avenues, lanes, roads, drives, courts, alleys, all public easements
and right-of-ways, all dedicated open space parcels, and District maintained parcels are
determined to not receive special benefit from the District’s improvements and are therefore not
assessed.
Benefit Units (BUs)
As described above, the number of assessable benefit units attributable to each parcel receiving
special benefit has been calculated and can be found in the Assessment Roll (Appendix B).
The assessment methodology utilized is as described above. Based on this methodology, the
benefit units, and the Fiscal Year 2017/2018 proposed assessment for each parcel were
calculated and are shown in the Assessment Roll (Appendix B).
The calculated Fiscal Year 2017/2018 assessment for Zone A, Zone C, and Zone D is
proposed to remain at the Fiscal Year 2016/2017 assessment rate of $243.04 per benefit
unit.
The calculated Fiscal Year 2017/2018 assessment for Zone B and E is proposed to be at
zero dollars.
D. MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT RATE
The approved maximum assessment rate for the District was established and has remained at
$243.04 per benefit unit for Zone A, Zone C, Zone D and Zone E. The District currently has no
Resolution No. 17-016
Page 15
approved escalation factor for increasing the maximum assessment rate for the District
Assessments. The maximum assessment rate establishes an approved upper limit on the
annual assessment; however, the assessment rate levied by the District may be less than the
maximum amount in any given year if not required to meet the budgetary needs for that year. If
the long term budgetary needs of the District would require an increase in the rate greater th an
the maximum assessment rate in order to meet those needs, then any proposed increase in the
maximum assessment rate would require property owner balloting procedures as dictated by
Article XIIID.
IV. DISTRICT BUDGETS
A. DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS
The 1972 Act provides that the estimated costs of the improvements shall include the total cost
of the maintenance and servicing of the improvements for the entire Fiscal Year 2017/2018,
commencing July 1, 2017 and ending June 30, 2018, including incidentals, which may include
reserves to operate the District.
The 1972 Act also provides that the amount of any surplus, deficit, or contribution be included in
the estimated cost of improvements. The net amount to be assessed on the lots or parcels within
the District is the total cost of maintenance and servicing with adjustments either positive or
negative for reserves, surpluses, deficits, and/or contributions.
