Description) Assessment District Deposits Finance: Council Notes: Agenda Item No. CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO -REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Staff Report SUBJECT: Authorization to proceed and Resolution of Intention -formation of a Landscape Maintenance Assessment District in the Waterman Avenue and Orange Show Road Area (Tract No. 17972). BACKGROUND: On July 11, 2005, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 17972 and DP2 No. OS-08, generally located east of Waterman Avenue and south of Orange Show Road. On July 24, 2005, Voit Development, the developer/owner of this property, submitted a petition for the formation of a landscape maintenance assessment district, as required by the conditions of approval for the development of this site. The formation of this District will assess the special benefit costs of maintaining the landscaping and appurtenances to the owners of the properties benefiting from the maintenance area. The areas to be maintained by the District will be landscaping along portions of the easterly side of Waterman Avenue and the median on Waterman Avenue directly adjacent to this site. The developer has paid the required $4,000 formation fee. Tract No. 17972 consists of 15 commercial lots. The annual cost of maintenance and incidentals will be spread across these 15 lots. Part of the formation proceedings includes the preparation of an Engineer's Report, which details the costs necessary to carry out the ongoing maintenance of landscaping and is attached for your review. As required by law, only special benefit may be assessed to properties within an assessment district. Any benefit found to be a general benefit may not be assessed to the District. As set forth in the Engineer's Report, the landscaping along Waterman Avenue and the median has been deemed to be of a general benefit. The general benefit portion of the annual cost of maintenance is estimated to be $1,891.93 and cannot be assessed to the District. This amount will need to be paid from the general fund or other non- district fund source. As set forth in the Engineer's Report, the estimated total annual assessment, including all incidental expenses, is $11,363.82. Assessment units on commercial land are assigned to each pazcel based on the number of 7,200 squaze foot single family lots that could be developed on the site if it were developed for residential use and gives a basis for calculating the assessment spread. In essence, each parcel is assessed in proportion of its size to the other parcels within the district. The per lot assessment will vary across each pazcel but ranges from $303.76 to $1,766.77 per pazcel. The Engineer's Report allows for annual increases of CPI (Consumer Price Index) or 5%, whichever is less, to cover increases in maintenance costs. Increases over this amount will either need to be approved by the property owners within the District, or be paid for by the City. The attached Resolution of Intention sets a public meeting for April 16, 2007, and a public hearing for May 7, 2007, and preliminarily approves the Engineer's Report. Approval of this District will be subject to an assessment ballot process, which requires a majority approval by the property owners within the proposed District boundary. Ballots aze weighted proportionally to the amount of the proposed assessment for each parcel The owners of record will be given Staff Report -Continued mailed notice of the public meeting and hearing, along with an Assessment Ballot form. Since all of the properties within the District aze currently under one ownership, no protests are anticipated. Future property owners will purchase the lots subject to the Assessment District and will be given disclosure of the District and assessments by the developer or subsequent property owners, as required by law. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The applicant has paid the $4,000 processing fee. Estimated costs of annual maintenance in the amount of $11,363.13, deemed to be a special benefit, will be assessed back to property owners within the Assessment District. The estimated annual cost of maintenance in the amount of $1,891.93, deemed to be a general benefit, will need to be paid from the general fund. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that authorization be given to proceed with the formation of a Landscape Maintenance Assessment District in the Waterman Avenue and Orange Show Road Area to be known as Assessment District No. 1045 (Tract No. 17972), and that the attached Resolution of Intention be adopted.

These improvements aze relative to the proposed development within Tentative Tract No. 17972. The signatures on the petition represent 100% of the property owners of the parcels within the proposed boundaries of the district. This petition was the result of a requirement placed upon the developer of Tentative Tract No. 17972 by the City to relieve the City finm_having to maintain the areas of landscaping. AUTHORIZATION -- On , 2007, by action of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino of San Bernardino, the Director of Development Services and City Clerk were authorized to initiate proceedings for the formation of Assessment District No. 1045 (Waterman Avenue and Orange Show Road Area Landscape Maintenance Assessment District) pursuant to the provisions of San Bernardino City Municipal Code Chapter 12.90 and this Report has been prepared and is hereby submitted pursuant to said provisions and in accordance with Resolution of Intention No. adopted by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino on the day of , ADVANCE OF ESTIMATED COSTS OF PROCEEDINGS -- On August 11, 2005, pursttant to Section 12.94.030 of the Municipal Code, the developer deposited $4,000 with the City to cover the estimated cost of proceedings. At the conclusion of the proceedings and after confirmation of all costs, any amounts remaining will be returned to the developer. If actual costs aze more than the deposit, then the remainder can either be paid in a lump sum by the developer or assessed against the properties involved. EASEMENTS -All areas to be maintained will be within City owned property, dedicated right of way, or within easements granted to the City for maintenance purposes and no maintenance will be carried out on private property. DESCRIPTION OFIMPROVEMENTS -- The areas to be maintained by the District will be landscaping along portions of the easterly side of Waterman Avenue and the median in Waterman Avenue adjacent to Tentative Tract 17972. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS --Plans and Specifications for the landscaping have been prepared by ~ngineers Report - AD 1045 the developer according to the standards of the City and is subject to final approval by the City prior to the installation of any landscaping. DESCRIPTION OFBOUNDARIES -- The boundaries of the proposed district are shown on the Assessment Boundary Map of Assessment District No. 1045 and are generally described as follows: The west line of Waterman Avenue on the west; and the northerly, easterly, and southerly boundary of Tentative Tract No. 17972 on the north, east and south respectively. VICINITY MAP -- A vicinity map showing the general location of the proposed Assessment District is attached as Exhibit "1". DISTRICT BOUNDARYMAP -- A proposed District Boundary Map has been prepared and is on file in the office of the City Clerk. A reduced copy of the District Boundary Map is attached as Exhibit "2" DISTRICT DIAGRAM -- A proposed Diagram of the Assessment District has been prepared and will be filed with the City Clerk after preliminary approval of this Report and will be filed with the County Recorder and recorded in the office of the City Engineer after final approval of this Report, confirmation of the Assessment Roll and Resolution Ordering Work. A reduced copy of the Assessment District Diagram is attached as Exhibit "3". NOTICE OFEXEMPTION -- a "Notice of Exemption" declaring a Categorical Exemption was prepared and will be filed with the Clerk of the Boazd of Supervisors of San Bernardino County upon formation of the District. No further environmental proceedings will be necessary. A copy of the Notice of Exemption is attached as Exhibit "4". METHOD OFASSESSMENT AND DETERMINATION OFBENEFIT -- Landscaping and its proper maintenance enhances the esthetics of any given azea and the benefit received by the owners of properties in the area is determined to be equal to the azea of each lot or pazcel that utilizes the landscaped azeas either as ingress and egress or by actual physical use of the land as in the cases of large open azeas. The boundaries of the proposed district are drawn with this in mind and the Resolution of Intention delineates the specific areas of maintenance, which will benefit all of the properties within the boundaries. The benefit received by each lot or parcel is proportional to the area of each lot or pazcel in relation to the total area within the District boundaries. Since the proposed development for this azea is commercial use, assessment units are assigned to each lot or parcel based on the number of single family residential units that could be built if the area were developed for residential use, based on the minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet as set forth in the City's General Plan. Thus, each lot or parcel area (in square feet) is divided by 7,200 to determine its assigned assessment unit or portion thereof. (7,200 Square Feet = 1 Assessment Uriit). Based upon the commercial pazcels proposed to be developed, the total assessment units for the district will be 164.97. The benefit received by the parcels within the boundaries of the district is determined to be of more than ~dinary public benefit, thus each parcel within the district being assessed receives a special benefit from the 4 ~ngineers Report - AD ! 045 improvements. If property not within the boundaries of a district also receives some benefit from the improvements, consideration must then be given to a genera/ benefit given by the improvements, which may not be assessed to the parcels within the district. Since the installation and maintenance of the landscaping and establishment of an assessment district for the maintenance of the landscaping is specific and incidental to this development, it is further determined that the improvements to be maintained by the assessment district are of special benefit to the district only and are 100% assessable to the parcels within the boundazies of the assessment district, except as follows: Areas of maintenance that front on major arterial streets, as determined by the Circulation Plan of the City's General Plan, are determined to be,15% general benefit and the proportional costs thereof are not assessable to the District. 2. Areas of maintenance that front on secondary arterial streets, as determined by the Circulation Plan of the City's General Plan, are determined to be ]0% genera/ benefit and the proportional costs thereof aze not assessable to the District. 3. Areas of maintenance that front on collector streets, as determined by the Circulation Plan of the City's General Plan, are determined to be S% general benefit and the proportional costs thereof are not assessable to the District. • 4. Areas that front on local streets aze determined to be 100% special benefit and aze 100% assessable to the District. These percentages are based on the traffic circulation for the various street classifications. Based on the City of San Bemardino's current circulation element of its General Plan, this portion of Waterman Avenue is designated as a major arterial street, thus IS% of the cost of landscaping maintenance and appurtenances along Waterman Avenue, and the center median on Waterman Avenue adjacent to site, is deemed to be of general benefit and not assessable to the lots within the Assessment District. Publicly owned lands within the Assessment District, if any, are subject to assessments, unless they receive no benefit with the exception of public right of way, which is not subject to assessments. METHOD OF FINANCING -- The estimated cost of the first yeaz's maintenance shall be assessed against the properties involved within the current fiscal yeaz or the fiscal yeaz following the establishment of the district. Depending upon when the costs aze assessed and when the actual maintenance is assumed by the City, this assessed amount can be used as a source ofpre-funding the first year's maintenance contract and incidental costs. Once the City has assumed the responsibility for the maintenance, the properties may be assessed in advance each yeaz thereafter to establish a source of pre-funding each year's costs, or may be assessed for the actual contract and incidental costs plus interest. Interest will be included in the assessment costs for any amounts or portions not pre- funded through previous assessments. If there is a surplus from the estimated assessment in the event costs are pre- ded through previous assessments, any such surplus shall be applied as a credit to the following year's assessment r placed in a reserve fund to cover future increases or maintenance until such reserves are depleted. The ~ngineers Report - AD 1045 assessment, whether pre-funded or not, shall be levied, collected and enforced in the same manner, at the same time, and with the same penalties and interest as in the case of taxes levied for property taxes. Table 1 sets forth the estimated costs of the first yeaz's maintenance. No Bonds will be sold relative to this Assessment District. ASSESSMENT SPREAD -- The amount of each Assessment Unit is determined by dividing the total maintenance costs, including all incidentals, by the total number of assessment units, as determined by the above Method oJAssessment. Each pazcel in the district is then assessed based upon the total number of Assessment Units calculated for that parcel. ASSESSMENT ROLL -- There will be 15 commercial lots within Tract No. 17972, once the final map is recorded, with 7,200 sq. ft. representing 1 assessment unit as described under Method of Assessment, and assessments are spread accordingly. No further subdivision of the pazcels is anticipated. An Assessment Roll representing the estimated first yeaz's maintenance costs has been~prepared for the 15 parcels within Tract No. 17972 and is shown as Exhibit "5". Any pazcels remaining vacant, or not being subdivided, will be assessed based on the number of residential lots that could be built pursuant to the City's existing General Plan. FUTUREAPPORT/ONMENTS -- In the event that the assessment units, as determined under Method of Assessment, change for any parcel(s) during the term of the Assessment District, the assessment amount for that arcel(s) will change accordingly. Any increases based solely on change in pazcel size, land use or density, which would result in an increase of assessment units, will not be subject to a public hearing as long as the formula for determining the assessments as described is applied: Pursuant to Chapter 12.90 of the San Bemazdino Municipal Code, such reapportionment's do not require the recording of an amended Diagram Map. FUTURE INCREASES -- Due to the nature of landscape maintenance; it is anticipated that there will be future increases in assessments as contract, labor, water and energy costs aze all subject to future increases. Annual increases may be increased without further notice or public hearing by a percentage equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all Urban Consumers in the Los Angeles-Orange County-Inland Empire area, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics over the previous yeaz, or 5%, whichever is less. The CPl is typically used for maintenance districts. The rate varies from year to yeaz, but in no event will an increase, if needed, exceed 5% without a majority approval of property owners in the district. ~ngineers Report - AD 1045 TABLE 1 ESTIMATED FIRST YEAR'S COST SUMMARY Assessment District No. 1045 (Waterman Avenue and Orange Show Road Area Landscape Maintenance Assessment District) no~,..:.,r;nn n! rnerv Quantity Unit CosdUnit Annual Cost A B C D E F G N J K L M N O P Q R 5 T U V W Maintenance ofTurf /Irri ation 26,362 S .Ft. 0.20 $ 5,272.30 MaintenanceofGroundcover/Shrobs/Irrigation 4,537 S .Ft. 0.20 $ 907.46 Maintrnance of Trees /Irri lion I L.S. 1,300.00 $ 1,300.00 Landsca a Arca Subtotal 30,899 S .
