POWAY CITY LIGHTING DISTRICT
ENGINEER'S REPORT
FISCAL YEAR lg92-93
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to present the findings and engineering analysis
for the Poway City Street Lighting District for the 1992-93 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
On May 12, 1986, the City Council of the City of Poway initially formed the Poway
City Street Lighting District and confirmed assessments for subsequent years
beginning fiscal year 1986-87. This report covers the levy of the annual
assessments for the 1992-93 fiscal year and provides for annexations of
additional City areas 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 2,548 lights,
as shown on the following pages.

Resolution No. 92-108

Part 2 of Division 15 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.
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" (California Streets and Highway Code Section
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.

ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
Name
The District is entitled "Poway City Lighting District."
Boundary
The boundaries of the assessment district are 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.
BENEFIT ANALYSIS
There are approximately 13,912 parcels of property in the District,
benefit zones for assessment purposes are established as follows:
ZONE A:
ZONE B:
and two
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 community
benefit.
The structure of the benefit assessments for the Poway Street Lighting District
is based on the determination 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.

Resolution No. 92-108
Page 7
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.
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 trips per dwelling unit, or 40 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 January, 1990 and are generally accepted for use by
the San Diego County Lighting District and other lighting districts throughout
the County to calculate these assessments.
The derivation of benefit factors for land use categories other than single
family residential is noted within the examples listed below:

a nominal number of trips
as compared to single family

receives little or no benefit
from street lights.
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 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 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.
-7-
Based upon the previous discussion, it is proposed in fisca] year 1992-93, 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, tn 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.
