POWAY CITY LIGHTING DISTRICT
ENGINlq. RR'S Rg. PORT
FISCAL YEAR 1990-1991
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to present the findings and engineering analysis for the
Poway City Street Lighting District for the 1990-91 fiscal year. This Lighting District,
utilizing direct benefit assessments, finances the 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 formed the Poway City
Street Lighting District and confismed aSsessments for the first two fiscal years, 1986-87
and 198%88.
This report covers the levy of the annual aSsessments for the 1990-91 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 2,125 lights, as shown
on the next two pages.

Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act
of 1972, pe~its 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 fo~mala 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.
The Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment
district if '~oy reasons of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements,
the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement"
(California Streets and Highway Code Section 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the
levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
Resolution No. 90-113

..FINANCIAL ANALYStq
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 1990-91 fiscal year expenditures for street lighting are estimated as follows:

ENGINlqERING ANALYSL~
.Name
The District is entitled "Poway City Lighting District".
Boundary
The boundaries of the assessment district are as shown on the Assessment Diagram. (See
Attachment A.) All parcels identified on the latest San Diego County Assessor's maps
within the City of Poway are included in the district. However, public properties such as
roadways, alleys, greenbelts, parkways, and other public properties are exempt from the
assessment.
The property lines and dimensions of each lot or parcel of land within the Lighting District
are 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,
and energy and maintenance costs to operate them.
BENEFrr ANALYSIS
There are approximately 13,256 parcels of property in the District, and two benefit zones
for assessment purposes are established as follows:
5

I

Resolution No. 90-113
Page 9
ZONE A: Zone A parcels are those that are directly serviced by public street lights or
by lights in the immediate vicinity and therefore receive direct benefit.
ZONE B: Zone B parcels are those 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 structure of the benefit assessments for the Poway Street Lighting District is based
on the deteraiination that the benefits of street lighting for each real property parcel are
a function of 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 those land use categories whose codes are shown
in Attachment B. A benefit factor of 1.0 is assigned to single family residential land use.
Resolution No. 90-113
f Page 10
1
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 in June, 1983 and are
generally accepted for use by the San Diego County Lighting District and other lighting
districts throughout the County to calculate these assessments.

Benefit factors for all land use categories, as derived above, are tabulated in Attachment C.
Calculation of Benefit Unite
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

Resolution No. 90-113
Page 14
calculation is applicable to all parcels that accrue both community benefits and service
benefits, as prev/ously defined.
I
I'
I
t:
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 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 factor 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 1990-1991, 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.
