Each property receives approximately the sar benefit. Therefore, staff established a benefit formula in which each parcel is given an equivak dwelling unit (EDU) based on the average size of a single family residential lot in the City Carlsbad (7,500 square feet or .I 7 acres). Thus, each single family parcel is given an EDU of 1 while most other parcels are given an EDU based on the following formula: Acreaqe = EDU .I 7 MEDIAN LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE This service generally benefits all parcels and residents in the City. Accordingly, all parcels sha in the cost. However, parcels fronting on streets which receive median landscape maintenan services generally receive more benefit from landscape median improvements than other parcel Thus, all parcels in the City share in the cost of median landscape maintenance using the sarr EDU formula for Street Tree Maintenance, and those parcels fronting on streets with landscapc medians are assessed twice the amount of parcels not fronting on streets with landscapc medians, These formulas were approved by City Council at the June 6, 1989, regular meeting. 0 0 PART 111.
