Street Tree Maintenance and Street Median Maintenance, as detailed in the previously approved
Engineer’s Report. Included in tonight’s report will be a description of the City’s contribution of a
“General Benefit” to each of the three zones which will be presented by the engineering consultant
for the District. The “General Benefit” first became an inclusion of the District’s processing in Fiscal
Year 1997-l 998 in compliance with Proposition 218.
The Resolution setting tonight’s public hearing was published in the North County Times in the time

published an additional information type announcement in the newspaper to invite public input prior
to tonight’s meeting.
At the close of the public hearing tonight, Council is requested to adopt the resolutions
providing for the levy of the annual assessments for Fiscal Year 1998-99, and authorizing a transfer of funds from the General Fund budget to certain special funds budgets.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 1998-99 Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1 total budget for the three
zones is projected to be $1,557,392.
The City’s General Fund will contribute $70,000 to the Street Tree Maintenance Zone for staff time
and equipment spent on maintaining City parks and Hosp Grove which, by policy, are not
considered part of the public right-of-way oriented zone program. In addition, the City’s General Fund will contribute $56,678 to the Street Lighting Budget, $44,849 to the Street Tree Maintenance
Budget and $38,304 to the Median Maintenance Budget as “General Benefit” assessments, as
further described in the Engineer’s Report. Amounts previously approved for FY 1997-98 will also
be transferred at this time, totaling $118,561.

DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MAINTAINED
The improvements to be maintained and serviced are generally described as street lighting,
street trees and landscaped and hardscaped street medians all located within the public right-
of-way and as caused by new development and City improvement projects, all as set forth and
described in this Engineer’s Report.
New development has added 625 street lights to be included in the City’s Fiscal Year 1998-99
maintenance inventory.
The City’s street tree inventory remains constant at approximately 21,000 trees, with the
exception of replacement of damaged trees. New development improvements do not include
trees in public street right-of-way areas.
The additional street median area to be maintained in Fiscal Year 1998-99 is 8.0 acres due to
the addition of median improvements to portions of Melrose Drive, Aviara Parkway, Poinsettia
Lane, Cannon Road, Olivenhain Road and La Costa Avenue.
The Street Lighting Zone, the Street Tree Trimming Zone and the Street Median Maintenance
Zone assessments will not increase in Fiscal Year 1998-99, and will remain at the same base
formula rates as assessed in Fiscal Years 1996-97 and 1997-98. All new Assessor’s parcels,
that by petition of the property owner(s) have been added to the three zones, will be calculated
at the same base formulas as used in the last two fiscal years.

METHOD AND FORMULA FOR ASSESSMENT SPREAD
FOR STREET LIGHTING
Within the City wide Street Lighting Assessment boundaries are the following two zones:
Zone 1 - City owned and maintained street lights
Zone 2 - Undeveloped property - non-benefitting, not assessed
Zone 1 consists of the following sub-codes and their benefit spread formulas:
CODE Al *
CODE Bl*
CODE Cl*
CODE Dl*
Street lights at intersections only (residential)
Street lights at intersections and mid-block (residential)
Street light spacing at current City engineering standards (residential)
City owned street lights on surrounding streets, private lighting within
development (single family residential, only adjacent City lights will be
calculated for code assessment cost)
CODE E2** Street light spacing at current City standard, condos and apartment buildings,
ten units and above
CODE F2** Street light spacing at current City standard, commercial and industrial
parcels.
CODE G2** Special lighting and spacing standard, downtown redevelopment area
CODE HI”* Street light spacing at current City standard, time shares only
* Assessment is based on equal shares of cost of maintenance and operation of total
lights within each code.
** Assessment is based on share of cost of maintenance and operation of total lights as
formulated by front footage percentage of each parcel in relation to total footage within
each code.
*** Flat rate per unit
En.yinar’s Report - 1998 15
METHOD AND FORMULA FOR ASSESSMENT SPREAD
FOR STREET LIGHTING (CONTINUED)
Assessment Criteria: The improvements and annexation into the District are required for the
approval of, and as a consequence of, new development, and thus benefit the respective
developments. The lighting is of benefit to abutting parcels as it provides increased property
protection, personal safety, visibility, traffic safety, and enhances those areas fronting upon the
illuminated street.
The method of assessment for codes within Zone 1 is based on units. In the case of codes Al,
Bl, Cl and Dl a residential dwelling is equal to one benefit unit. In Code E2 condominium
dwelling units or apartment buildings with ten units and above are assigned units based on the
front footage of these developments. In Code F2 commercial and industrial parcels are
assigned units based on the front footage of these developments. Code G2 includes the
downtown redevelopment area and units in this code is also based on front footage. Code HI
only includes time share units, which are all assigned the same cost per unit.

BALANCE TO ASSESSMENT $582,150.85
Notes:
(1) See Table ‘6”. The cost estimate for Personnel and Maintenance & Operations
has been reduced by $25,500 for service to other City departments.
The “Balance to Assessment” shown above is spread upon the several parcels of land within
the District liable therefore and benefited thereby, in proportion to the estimated benefits that
each parcel receives, respectively, from said maintained works of improvement and appurtenances as established in the formation of the District.
All of the parcels within the District are located within the City of Carlsbad and are approved
developments or are in the final stages of obtaining approval for a proposed development. As a
condition of approval, the developer is required by the City to provide certain standard street
lighting for the entire area within the development; and the energy costs for the initial l&month
period. The units in a development are not assessed the initial fiscal year to account for the
developer funded energy costs.
The District provides funding for the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and
usual operation, maintenance and servicing of the installed street lights. These services and
materials include the furnishing of electric current (referred to as energy above). Personnel
costs include City staff assigned to Street Lighting services, City administration (annual audit of
City’s street lighting assessment, updating expenditures and reassessments) engineering and
legal expenses. Maintenance and Operations includes supervision, coordination between
Engincds Rqxm - ma 17
citizens and SDG&E for the maintenance of City street lights, coordination between developers
and SDG&E for energizing new lighting systems, providing expertise to City inspectors during
inspection of lighting systems, coordinate underground service alert mark-outs for various City
departments, perform mark-outs for street light and traffic signal systems, maintain as-built
record of City street light system for future maintenance, perform routine night surveillance,
incorporate street light numbering system, check proposed improvement plans for conformance
with City standards regarding street light, storm drain and traffic signal systems, coordinate with
Planning, Engineering and Engineer’s of Work to ensure that departmental needs are met. The
tax roll reserve is an advance for a portion of the estimated costs of servicing and maintenance
prior to the receipt of tax collections from the County of San Diego.
The lighting and the orderly circulation of traffic directly benefits the developments within the
District. Any share of the benefits received that does not provide a special benefit to the
assessed properties is a general benefit provided by the improvements. The cost of the
general benefit is not to be assessed to the properties in the district.
The cost of the general benefit is to be contributed by the City. This cost for lights is equal to
the average annual unit cost difference between the low wattage 9,500 lumen lights and the
high wattage 22,000 lumen lights. A 9,500 lumen light is the standard required on a local
street. Other streets, such as arterials, require a standard greater than 9,500 lumens in order
to service a capacity greater than the local traffic.
Table “A”, on the following page, shows the calculation of the cost estimate for General Benefit
for Street Lights.

ASSESSMENT SPREAD
FOR STREET TREE AND MEDIAN MAINTENANCE ZONES
STREET TREE MAINTENANCE ZONE
Street trees are in the street right-of-way, generally located between the curb and sidewalk
and/or property line in the areas of the City as shown in Attachment “B”. Each property
within the Street Tree Maintenance Zone receives approximately the same degree of benefit
to their property. Therefore, staff established a benefit formula in which each zoned parcel
is given an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) based on the average size of a single family
residential lot in the City of Carlsbad (7,500 square feet or .I7 acres). Thus, each single
family parcel is given an EDU of 1.0, while most other parcels* are given assessments
based on acreage to establish an EDU value based on the following formula:
Acreage of parcel / 0.17 acres = EDUs
STREET MEDIAN MAINTENANCE ZONE
This service generally benefits all parcels and residents in the City. Thus, all parcels in the
City share in the cost of median maintenance using the same EDU formula as in effect for
the Street Tree Maintenance Zone.
These formulas were approved by City Council at the June 6, 1989 regular meeting.
