ENGINEER'S REPORT
FOR POWAY
LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 83-1
FOR 1986-87 FISCAL YEAR
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to set forth findings and enginering
analysis for the Poway Landscape Maintenance Assessment District
No. 83-1 for 1986-87 fiscal year. The Assessment District was
formed June 14, 1983 as a means of financing the maintenance of
landscape improvements installed in conjunction with new sub-
divisions in Poway, the boundary being as shown in Exhibit A.
FINDINGS
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 permits the establishment
of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing for
the maintenance of certain public improvements which includes the
facilities existing within the subject assessment district. The
1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments be levied according
to benefit rather than according to estimated value. Section 22573
provides that:
"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 benefit to be received by each such lot
or parcel from the improvements."
Based upon the foregoing, it is proposed the City of Poway generate
the necessary revenue required to maintain the aforementioned land-
scaping improvements with Landscape Maintenance Assessment District
No. 83-1 for the 1986-87 fiscal year using the method provided, for
in the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972.
ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
Boundary
The boundary of the proposed assessment district is as shown on
Exhibit A with Rancho Arbolitos subdivision being the major portion
of the District with 975 lots. The other component subdivisions
presently making up the District are Adobe Ridge I and II (formerly
Poway Woods 1 and 2), the Colonies (formerly Poway Hills), and
Casa Real Unit 7. A small number of parcels that are zoned
commercial are subject to inclusion within the District when they
are developed. The prospective commercial areas are shown on
Exhibit A.
Resolution No. 86-044'
The District boundaries are included in the District, excepting
from the assessment of said costs and expenses within the area
described, the area of all public streets, public avenues, public
lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys,
all easements and rights of way, all public parks, greenbelts and
parkways, and all public school property being used for public
school purposes.
NAME
The District is entitled the "Poway Landscape Maintenance Assessment
District No. 83-1."
FACILITIES
The facilities to be maintained are defined as the landscaping and
soundwalls within the right of way and adjacent to Camino del Norte,
Twin Peaks Road, Pomerado Road, and future Route 56; the recreational
trails, sidewalks, and greenbelts within the District boundaries and
25% of the maintenance costs of all future parks within the District.
EXISTING CONDITIONS OF LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE WITH
DEVELOPED SUBDIVISIONS OF DISTRICT
A general assessment of the present level and quality of landscape
maintenance within subdivisions of the District having improved
landscape development within public right of way has been recently
conducted. Numerous deficiencies in plant care, weed control, and
irrigation systems were found. Each of the respective subdivisions
subdivisions will again be inventoried and evaluated to insure
compliance with requested improvements to landscape maintenance
prior to City acceptance of said developed areas into the Assessment
District. Landscape maintenance and performance standards and
specifications are currently being developed to assure a level of
consistency and quality to landscape care of assessment district
properties upon City acceptance.
COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES PROPOSED FOR INCLUSION INTO DISTRICT~
In the immediate future, certain properties proposed for commercial
development (see Exhibit A) will require portions of these properties
within the public right of way to be included within the Assessment
District. Currently, there is no landscape development on the
properties. A concern of the City is how these properties will
develop the public portion of their respective landscape areas
and to what intensity. Typically, commercial properties will be
larger lot sizes and consequently have a higher degree of landscape
improvements along the street edges bounding the commercial centers.
Both market image and overall concern for attractiveness of the
developed commercial site contribute to a greater level of land-
scape enhancements in some cases.

Resolution No. 86-044
A potential does exist for the need to provide a differential assess-
ment to commercial properties than residential properties within the
District. To provide some measure of uniformity in determination of
future assessments to commercial properties within the District, the
City should consider working with the respective owners of such pro-
perties to establish master land-scape development criteria. An
effort such as this could result in a general landscape development
plan, specific to the commercial core, that would yield a consistent
level of landscape development for said properties, provide a measure
of visible unity to the overall landscape image of the District, and
most importantly allow for the establishment of an equitable
assessment.
BENEFIT ANALYSIS
The District is made up of five subdivisions: Adobe Ridge Unit 1, 55
lots and Adobe Ridge Unit 2, 57 lots (formerly Poway Woods); Casa Real
Unit 7, 68 lots; The Colonies of Poway, 30 lots (formerly Poway
Hills); and Rancho Arbolitos, 975 potential lots; for a total of 1,185
lots. The assessments will be calculated on a per lot basis by
dividing the total budget by 1,185.
