There are approximately 13,570 parcels of property in the District, and two
benefit zones for assessment purposes are established as follows:
ZONE A:
ZONE B:
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 Parcels are those that do not meet Zone A criteria nor
receive direct benefit.
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 co,~unity
benefit.
~alculation 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 than 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
light. The adjusted benefit factors then are extended as noted above. Vacant
oarcels 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 1991-g2, that
the base benefit charge be $15.00. Thus, charges for community benefits and for
service benefits will be $3.75 and $11.25, respectively. 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.
