POWAY CITY LIGHTING DISTRICT
ENGINEER' S REPORT
FISCAL YEAR 1988-89
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to present findings and the
engineering analysis for the Poway City Street Lighting District
for the 1988-89 fiscal year. This Lighting District, utilizing
direct benefit assessments, finances and cost of providing
maintenance and operation of public street lighting facilities
within the City. The District contains all the territory within
the boundaries of the City of Poway.
FINDINGS
The City Council of the City of Poway on May 12, 1986, initially
fo~med the Poway City Street Lighting District and confirmed
assessments for the first fiscal years, 1986-87 and 1987-88.
This report covers the levy of the annual assessments for the
1988-89 fiscal year and provides for annexations of additional
City area into the Lighting District.
The public street lighting system in the Lighting District is
both San Diego Gas and Electric-owned and City-owned and will
consist of approximately 1,733 lights, as shown below:

of the Streets and Highways Code, the
Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment
of Assessment Districts by Cities for the purpose of providing
certain public improvements which include maintenance and
operation of street lights.
The 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments be levied
according to benefit rather than according to assessed 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 along all
assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated
benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the
improvements.
-2-
"EXHIBIT B"
Resolution No. 88-030
Page 6
The Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within
any individual assessment district if "by reasons of variations
in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the
various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the
improvement" (S & H S 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the
levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The 1972 Act provides that the total cost can be recovered in the
assessment spread including incidental expenses. The latter can
include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage,
publishing and all other costs identified with the district
proceedings. The 1988-89 fiscal year expenditures for street
lighting are estimated as follows:

ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
Name
The District is entitled "Poway City Lighting District"
Boundary
The boundaries of the proposed assessment district are as shown
on the Assessment Diagram. (See Attachment A.) All parcels
identified in the latest San Diego County Assessor's Parcel Maps
within the City are included in the district excepting from the
assessment of said costs and expenses within the area described,
the area of public roadways, alleys, greenbelts and parkways and
property being used for public purposes.
The property lines and dimensions of each lot or parcel of land
within the Lighting District is shown in detail on the County of
San Diego Assessor's maps, on file in the County Assessor's
Office, 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 103, San Diego, CA 92101.
Facilities
The facilities or improvements are defined as street light
standards, their appurtenances, energy and maintenance costs to
operate them.
BENEFIT ANALYSIS
There are approximately 13,050
District, and two benefit zones
established as follows:
parcels of property in the
for assessment purposes are
-4-
"EXHIBIT B"
ZONE A:
Resolution No. 88-0 30
Page 8
Those parcels that are directly serviced by public
street lights or by lights in the immediate vicinity
and therefore receive direct benefit.
ZONE B:
Those parcels that do not receive direct benefit due to
the absence of public street lights in the immediate
vicinity of the parcel
The benefits of street lighting accrue as community benefits and
as individual or service benefits. Community benefits are
defined as those common to all persons holding and/or using real
property as they use public streets and pedestrian ways for
access throughout the lighted areas of the City of Poway.
Individual or service benefits, are defined as those particular
to a person holding and/or using a real property parcel that is
directly serviced by street lighting at, or in the immediate
vicinity of the parcel. Therefore, those parcels in Zone A are
assessed for both community benefits and individual benefits
whereas those parcels in Zone B are assessed only as a community
benefit.
The methodology for the benefit assessment for the Poway Street
Lighting District is consistent with the benefit structure
currently applied to those areas of the city of Poway now
serviced under the County of San Diego Street Lighting District.
This structure is based on the determination that the benefits of
street lighting for each real property parcel are a function of
-5-
"EXHIBIT B"
Resolution No. 88-0 30
Page 9
the traffic generated by the use of that parcel. Benefit units
are then calculated for each parcel using a benefit factor
derived from the land use/traffic generation functions.
Derivation of Benefit Factor
Benefit factors have been determined for all land use categories
as defined in Attachment B. A benefit factor of 1.0 is assigned
to single family residential land use. Benefit factors for all
other land use categories are then derived in proportion to land
use/traffic generation as compared to the single family
residential traffic generation rate of 10.1 trips per dwelling
unit, or 36.4 trips per acre. Traffic generation rates by land
use are as prepared by the San Diego Association of Governments
and CALTRANS, District 11, based on trip generation studies done
in the San Diego region and are presently being used by the
County Lighting District to calculate these assessments.
The derivation of benefit factors for all land use categories
other than single family residential follows. All factors above
0.5 are rounded to the nearest whole number.

Vacant Land
= Vacant land generates only
a nominal number of trips as
compared to single family
residential, and therefore,
vacant land receives little
or no benefit from street
lights.
Vacant land was assigned a
0.0 land use factor.
Benefit factors for all land use categories, as derived above,
are tabulated in Attachment C.
Calculation of Benefit Units
Benefit factors are extended to benefit units for assessment by
multiplying the benefit factor by the number of dwelling units
per parcel or the acreage of the parcel as appropriate. This
base calculation is applicable to all parcels that accrue both
community benefits and service benefits, as previously defined.
Approximately one-third of all parcels in the City of Poway do
not, however, receive service benefits. An adjustment in base
benefit units, then must be made to reflect community benefits
-9-
"EXHIBIT B"
Resolution No. 88-0 30
Page 13
only. For this purpose, it is assumed that one-fourth of total
benefits accrue as community benefits and three-fourths accrue as
service benefits. Therefore, a community benefit of 0.25 is
applied to the benefit factors for all developed parcels not
directly serviced by street lighting. The adjusted benefit
factors then are extended as noted above. Vacant parcels are not
assessed.
Using current available data from the San Diego County Assessor,
an estimate of aggregate benefit units by zone has been computed
using the described method. These estimates are tabulated in
Attachment D.
Based upon the previous discussion, it is proposed in Fiscal Year
1988-1989, that the base benefit charge be $15.00. Thus, for
community benefits, $3.75 will be charged and for service
benefits, $11.25. In summary, those parcels in Zone A will be
assessed at $15.00 per benefit unit and those parcels in Zone B
will be assessed at $3.75 per benefit unit.
