ITEM EXPLANATION:
On December 3, 2002, the City Council approved the agreement (the "Acquisition/Financing
Agreement") with Calavera Hills II LLC (the developer) for the acquisition, construction, and
financing of improvements to Cannon Road East and College Boulevard and to master drainage
plan facilities BJB and BJA for Financing District No. 01-02 (which has since been renamed
Assessment District No. 2003-01). Under the agreement, the developer must construct the
improvements to the City's standards and the City will acquire qualifying improvements subject to
the approval of the City Engineer solely from the proceeds of bonds issued for the assessment
district.
The purpose of the assessment district is to establish a mechanism to finance the acquisition or
construction of the public improvements and to spread the cost of the public improvements among
the properties which will specially benefit from the improvements based upon the special benefit
received by each such property. The City has participated in similar financing programs for
Alga Road, Palomar Airport Road, College Boulevard, and improvements in the Carlsbad Ranch
and Rancho Carrillo developments.
The boundaries of the proposed assessment district are shown on the location map and include the
Calavera Hills II LLC development consisting of Villages E-I, H, K, L-2, R, U, W, X, and Y with
689 proposed residential units, two community facilities, and several homeowners' association
recreation lots. The boundaries also include the Robertson Ranch East development, currently
owned by Calavera Hills II LLC, consisting of approximately 500 proposed residential units,
community recreation, and several homeowners' association recreation lots.

Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. 17,247
Except as specified below, the assessment district, as proposed, complies with City Policy
Statement No. 33 as revised on December 17, 2002. As required by Policy 33, the City's Special
District Review Committee has reviewed this assessment district, finds that it otherwise complies
with the terms and conditions of the Council's policy, and recommends that the City Council proceed
with the formation of the assessment district. Paragraph 8 of Policy 33 requires that all property
proposed to be included within the assessment district "shall have received environmental review
and approval of all land use entitlements such as zoning, master plans, or Local Facilities
Management Plans and regulatory permits." The necessary entitlements have been obtained for the
Calavera Hills portion of the proposed assessment district (see "Environmental Review" below).
Such entitlements have not been obtained for Robertson Ranch East. Calavera Hills II LLC has
submitted an application for approval of a master plan for Robertson Ranch and City staff has
requested certain revisions to the proposed master plan. Policy 33 provides that the City Council
may approve an assessment district that includes some land without such land use entitlements if
the improvements to be financed are consistent with the General Plan, and if the City Council finds
that the improvements are required in the public interest.
The improvements proposed to be acquired by the City from the proceeds of bonds issued for the
assessment district include four lanes of College Boulevard from Carlsbad Village Drive to Cannon
Road including sewer, water, recycled water'snd dry utilities; four lanes of Cannon Road from
El Camino Real to College Boulevard including sewer, water, and dry utilities; storm drain detention
basin BJB and storm drain line BJA (less any improvements be reimbursed to the developer from
Master Plan Local Drainage Area Fees); and related costs for environmental, acquisition and
creation of mitigation lands, engineering, and inspection.
The primary improvements proposed to be financed through the assessment district include the
extension of College Boulevard and Cannon Road, both important links in the City's traffic circulation
system and designated as major arterials on the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan. Staff
therefore supports a finding by the City Council that the improvements are consistent with the
General Plan and are required in the public interest.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This assessment district has been deemed to be a "project" subject to the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), since the levy of assessments and the issuance of
bonds secured by such assessments are committed to a specific project which may result in a
potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
On January 15, 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2002-016 which certified the
Environmental Impact Report, CEQA findings of fact, statements of overriding considerations,
a mitigation monitoring and reporting program, and approving a general plan amendment, master
plan amendment, Zone 7 Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment, zone change, master
tentative map and hillside development permit within the Calavera Hills Master Plan on property generally located south of the City of Oceanside and west of Lake Calavera in the northeast
quadrant of the City (Case No. EIR 98-02/GPAI 99-03/MP, 150(H)/LFMP, 87-07(A)/ZC, 01 -Ol/CT,
00-02/HDP 00-02).
The EIR that was approved by the City Council included all of the improvements that are proposed
to be acquired by the assessment district. Potentially significant impacts in the areas of air quality,
biological resources, cultural resources, and hydrology/water quality will be mitigated through the
incorporation of mitigation measures contained in the above documents which are on file with and
can be reviewed at the Planning Department.
Page 3 of Agenda Bill No. 17,247
FISCAL IMPACT:
The assessment district tax-exempt bonds, scheduled to be sold in two series starting in spring
2004, will fund the acquisition or construction of the proposed improvements and related costs totaling approximately $24.2 million. This amouht includes formation costs, debt issuance costs, and
the establishment of a 9% debt service reserve fund. The City is not responsible for the funding of
the construction of any of the improvements included in the assessment district. The improvements will be constructed by the developer and acquired by the City after the bonds are sold.
The developer has requested to be allowed to pass through the assessment to the prospective
purchasers of the individual lots. The City’s Special District Review Committee has reviewed this
request and recommends that the City Council approve it since, as required by City Policy 33, the
estimated total amount of taxes, assessments, and special taxes appearing on the property tax bill
will not exceed 1.8 percent of the initial sales price, as of the date of the close of escrow, of any
residential dwelling unit to each prospective homeowner. If the assessments are permitted to be
passed through to the residential homebuyers, Policy 33 requires that the developer provide full and
complete disclosure of the assessment district to such prospective purchasers. The developer has
agreed in the Acquisition/Financing Agreement to provide notice as required by Policy 33 and
approved by the City Council. Staff intends to bring the proposed disclosure package to the City
Council for its review and approval at the time of the public hearing to consider the formation of the
assessment district.
The bond funds used to acquire the improvements will not include that portion of the costs of such
improvements representing (a) the general benefit to be derived from the arterial roadways,
consisting of the center two lanes, and (b) the special benefit attributed to parcels of land to be
owned by public agencies, non-profit organizations, homeowners’ associations, and property located
outside of the assessment district in Robertson Ranch West which is fronting on Cannon Road and
proposed as a public park and elementary school. The developer may request a reimbursement
agreement for the cost of the special benefit for the property located outside of the assessment
district in Robertson Ranch West. The developer will contribute that portion of such costs
representing such general benefit and such special benefit through a corresponding reduction in the
purchase price for the improvements to be acquired.

The following table provides a summary of costs for constructing and/or acquiring
the improvements as identified in the description of improvements found in Part
VI. The Estimate of Costs includes construction costs, mitigation costs, design
costs, administration costs, incidentals expenses, financing costs, developer
contributions and the total amount to be assessed.
Details of the costs provided by Calavera Hills II LLC (the “Developer”) are shown
in Appendix E, Detailed Cost Information.
The cost estimate divides College Boulevard into two reaches B and C. Reach B
is located from Cannon Road northerly to the southern boundary of the Calavera
Hills II development. Reach C is located from the southern boundary of the
Calavera Hills II development northerly to Carlsbad Village Drive.
The cost estimate further divides College Boulevard and Cannon Road into two
components. The first component is labeled the “Core Improvements” which
include full width grading of the roadway, paved road surface for two lanes (18-foot
paved section on each side of the median for a total of 36 feet of paved section),
transition pavement section at major intersections, median curbs, outside asphalt
berms, temporary drainage in the parkway including asphalt drainage swales and
other drainage improvements which are necessary to serve the center lanes and/or
protect the roadway grading. In addition, the improvements include the cost for full
mitigation of the environmental impacts of the construction of the improvements
noted above. The soft costs included are design, contract administration,
construction inspection, construction engineering, mitigation monitoring and land
acquisition.
The second component is labeled “Frontage Improvements” which includes all
other improvements necessary to complete College Boulevard and Cannon Road
to four lane major arterial roadway standards. These remaining frontage
improvements would include paving beyond the 36-foot paved section, outside curb
and gutters, sidewalks, street lights, any frontage landscaping and irrigation,
median landscaping and irrigation, median hardscape, sewer, water, recycled
water, franchise dry utilities, traffic signals and any other frontage improvements,
which would normally be required of the adjacent development projects.
The “Basin BJB and Storm Drain BJA Improvements” include all of the facilities
necessary for a storm water detention basin and the storm drain line draining into
the basin, however the cost estimate excludes those certain drainage facilities
which are included in the City’s Drainage Fee Program. These excluded costs
have been detailed in Table 3 of Appendix E of this Report.

EXHIBIT A
METHOD AND FORMULA OF ASSESSMENT SPREAD
Since the improvements are to be funded by the levying of assessments, the
Assessment Law requires that assessments be based on the special benefit
that the properties receive from the improvements. In addition, the Assessment
Law provides that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of
the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Further, only special
benefits are assessable and the local agency levying the assessment must
separate the general benefits from the special benefits. All publicly owned
property must be assessed if it specially benefits from the improvements.
The Assessment Law does not specify the method or formula that should
be used to apportion the costs to properties in any special assessment
district proceedings. The responsibility for recommending an apportionment of the
costs to properties, which specially benefit from the improvements rests with the
Assessment Engineer, who is appointed for the purpose of making an analysis of
the facts and determining the correct apportionment of the assessment
obligation. In order to apportion the assessments to each parcel in direct
proportion with the special benefit which it will receive from the improvements, an
in-depth analysis has been completed and is used as the basis for apportioning
costs to each property within the Assessment District as explained below.
Based upon an analysis of the special benefit to be received by each parcel
from the improvements, the Assessment Engineer recommends the
apportionment of costs as outlined herein. The final authority and action rests with
the City Council after hearing all testimony and evidence presented at a public
hearing, and the tabulation of the assessment ballots previously mailed to all record
owners of property within the Assessment District. Upon the conclusion of the public
hearing, the City Council must make the final determination whether or not the
assessment spread has been made in direct proportion to the special
benefits to be received by each parcel within the Assessment District. Assessment
ballot tabulation will be finalized at that time and, if a majority of the assessment
ballots received prior to the close of the public hearing weighted by assessment
amount are not opposed to the levy of the assessments, then the City Council may
confirm the levy of the assessments.
The following sections define and explain the special benefits and general
benefits, and set forth the methodology used to apportion the costs of the
improvements providing special benefits to each parcel, and confirm that the
assessments are reasonable and justified.

The Method of Apportionment
The Assessment District improvements have been assigned into seven benefit
components; roadway, potable water, recycled water, sewer, dry utilities, Storm
Water Basin BJB and Storm Drain Line BJA, and incidental expenses. Roadway
improvement costs are spread on vehicle average daily trip (ADT) generation.
Potable water, sewer and dry utility costs are spread on an equivalent dwelling
unit (EDU) basis. Recycled water costs are spread to the roadway and specific
parcels based on the amount of recycled water used for the irrigation of each
roadway and specific parcel. Storm Water Basin BJB and Storm Drain Line BJA
costs are spread to parcels which drain into the basin based on assessment
units. The incidental expenses have been based on either the actual cost to
each component of the improvements or if the incidental costs apply to all such
components then to the prorated construction cost of each such component.
Because some of the assessor parcel boundaries do not coincide with the Village
Planning Areas, some initial assessments will be placed in aggregate on multiple
assessor parcels until final maps are recorded and the new assessor parcels
coincide with the Village Planning Areas as applicable.
The procedure of identifying and apportioning special benefit to the land uses
and parcels has been organized as follows:
A. Identification of Benefit Components
A-I Roadway Core Improvements
A-2 Roadway Frontage Improvements
A-3 Backbone Potable Water and Sewer
A4 Backbone Recycled Water
A-5 Backbone Dry Utilities
A-6 Storm Water Basin BJB and Storm Drain Line BJA

E-3 Future Apportionment
A. IDENTIFICATION OF BENEFIT COMPONENTS
The improvements to be acquired or constructed by the City from the proceeds of
bonds issued for each benefit area of the Assessment District are necessary for
development of the Assessment District parcels and are required by the Calavera
Hills II and by the Robertson Ranch Master Plans and the conditions of
development as set forth in the land use entitlements approved by the City
for each benefit area. Without the improvements, the parcels within the
Assessment District cannot be developed to their planned ultimate uses pursuant
to such land use entitlements.
It is unfeasible and impractical for the parcels to be utilized to their highest and best
use without the backbone roadways, utilities and storm drain basin that will be
funded by the Assessment District.
A-I Roadway Core Improvement Components
The foremost purpose of the Assessment District is to provide financing for
the backbone road access so the Assessment District parcels can be
developed. The most significant and costly improvement is the work
vl E-Prepared by Galen N. Peterson June 25,2003 3L
City of Carlsbad -Assessment District No. 2003-01 (College Boulevard and Cannon Road East) Page 13
associated with the road construction. The road construction has created the
need to relocate utilities, re-establish habitat areas, and install landscaping to
protect the roadway slopes. The road construction has created the need to
construct storm drains to protect the rbadway and to relocate other facilities
and provide mitigation areas that would not have otherwise been necessary if
the road was not constructed. The road and associated costs have been
placed into two roadway improvement components (identified in Part 2 of this
Report) for the purpose of defining the roadway costs and apportioning
special benefit. The first component is titled “Core Improvements” and the
second component is titled “Frontage Improvements” which will be described
in the following section A-2.
The Core Improvements component includes: College Boulevard Reach C
and Reach B, plus Cannon Road Reach 3, full width grading of the roadway,
paved road surface for two lanes, transition pavement section at Cannon
Road and El Camino Real intersections, other road related improvements,
relocation of utilities, and establishment of mitigation areas.
A percentage of the cost of the backbone recycled water distribution system
has been spread in the same manner as the roadway core improvement
expenses. This portion of the recycled water system improvements will
provide an irrigation water system for the roadway landscaping.
A-2 Roadway Frontage Improvement Components
The Frontage Improvements component includes: College Boulevard Reach
C and Reach B, plus a portion of Cannon Road Reach 3. The Frontage
Improvements for College Boulevard Reach B, and a portion of Cannon Road
Reach 3 will be constructed at a latter date after the Robertson Ranch final
improvement plans have been completed. The Frontage Improvements for
Cannon Road Reach 3 do not include the Frontage Improvements on the
north side of Cannon Road along the frontage of parcels located outside of
the Assessment District boundary in Robertson Ranch West since these
Frontage Improvements will be paid by the Developer and not assessed.
A percentage of the cost of the backbone recycled water distribution system
has been spread in the same manner as the roadway Frontage Improvement
expenses. This portion of the recycled water system improvements will
provide an irrigation water system for the roadway landscaping.
A-3 Backbone Potable Water and Sewer Construction Improvement
Components
Coincidental to the roadway improvements is the necessity to construct
certain backbone utility improvements within the roadway right of way
vl E-Prepared by Galen N. Peterson :$ +T June 25,2003
City of Carlsbad -Assessment District No. 2003-01 (College Boulevard and Cannon Road East) Page 14
concurrently with construction of the roadway improvements. These
improvements confer a different special benefit to the properties than the
special benefit conferred by the roadway improvements. Therefore potable
water and sewer (other than relocated facilities for the roadway costs) have
been separated into wet utility components for purposes of defining special
benefits and allocating the costs of such components.
A4 Backbone Recycled Water Improvement Components
Coincidental to the roadway improvements is the necessity to construct
certain backbone recycled water improvements within the roadway right of
way concurrently with construction of the roadway improvements. A
percentage of these improvements confer a different special benefit to the
properties than the special benefit conferred by the roadway improvements
based on where the recycled water will be used. The recycled water facilities
have been separated into a separate component for purposes of defining
special benefits and allocating the costs of such components.
A-5 Backbone Dry Utilities Improvement Components
Coincidental to the roadway improvements is the necessity to construct
certain backbone dry utility improvements within the roadway right of way
concurrently with construction of the roadway improvements. These
improvements confer a different special benefit to the properties than the
special benefit conferred by the roadway improvements. Therefore the dry
utilities have been separated into a separate component for purposes of
defining special benefits and allocating the costs of such components.
Ab Storm Water Basin BJB and Storm Drain Line BJA
Coincidental to the roadway improvements is the necessity to construct
Storm Water Basin BJB, located adjacent to the roadway right of way, and
Storm Drain Line BJA, located in College Boulevard, concurrently with
construction of the roadway improvements. These improvements confer a
different special benefit to the properties than the special benefit conferred
by the roadway improvements. Therefore the Storm Water Basin BJB, Storm
Drain Line BJA and appurtenances have been separated into a separate
component for purposes of defining special benefits and allocating the costs
of such components.
A-7 Incidental Expense Components
In addition to the improvement costs, there are incidental construction
administration and Assessment District formation expenses. These costs
include, but are not limited to: construction administration, construction
supervision, design, testing, surveying, assessment engineering, audit of
acquisition costs, financial advisors, appraisals, bond counsel, underwriting,
vl E-Prepared by Galen N. Peterson June 25,2003 38
City of Carlsbad - Assessment District No. 2003-01 (College Boulevard and Cannon Road East) Page 15
official statement printing, financing cost and establishment of a bond reserve
fund. The costs of the formation of the Assessment District, including the
costs of issuance, have been determined to be eligible for inclusion and are
included in the Assessment District incidental costs. Some of these costs can
be assigned directly to one of the benefit components as shown in Appendix “E”. Other costs that cannot be assigned directly to one of the benefit
components have been prorated to each assessment number in accordance
with that assessment number’s share of the acquisition or construction cost.
B. SPECIAL BENEFITS
The purpose of this Assessment District is to fund the construction and
acquisition or construction of public improvements required to serve the
Assessment District Parcels. Special benefit is received by each parcel within the
boundaries of the Assessment District from new roadway access and the
availability of utility services that are required and necessary for the properties to
develop to their highest and best use in accordance with and as permitted by the
approved land use entitlements.
The improvements to be constructed and/or acquired by the District
accommodate the planned development within the Assessment District area in
accordance with the approved land use entitlements. The Calavera Hills II and the
Robertson Ranch Master Plan environmental documents and the Tentative Map
identify the need for access and utilities, and place conditions upon the
parcels within the Assessment District to provide those improvements. The
Assessment District Improvements satisfy the conditions of development by
providing access and backbone utilities so the projects can support their planned
uses. Without the improvements, the parcels within the Assessment District could
not be developed to their planned and conditionally approved uses.
The special benefit conferred on the parcels within the Assessment District from
the proposed improvements include: increased development potential, relief from
access constraints, improved accessibility to utilities, fulfillment of development
conditions and ensured investment returns. The special benefit to each parcel is
such that the parcels will be allowed to gain access to a public street network, be
provided with storm water protection and have water, sewer, recycled water and
dry utilities readily available, thereby allowing them to develop to their highest potential.
Special benefit accrues to each parcel to be subdivided and served by the
improvements to be constructed. Since the areas within the Assessment District
have not been subdivided into individual lots at this time, the assessments will
be placed in aggregate on one or more existing assessor parcels and
apportionment of the assessments will take place as final maps record.

C. GENERAL BENEFITS
Some public improvements will confer general benefit to properties or the public
at large outside the Assessment District. In making an analysis, a review was
conducted of the surrounding areas. The review resulted in identifying general
benefits that accrued to properties outside the Assessment District.
College Boulevard is designated as a major arterial roadway and will be
constructed from Carlsbad Village Drive south to connect to Cannon Road. Four
lanes are proposed to be constructed. Two lanes are required to serve the
estimated volume of traffic generated by the Assessment District parcels.
Two center lanes (one in each direction) are required for through traffic
originating outside of the Assessment District. The costs associated with the
construction and placement of the asphalt and aggregate base for the two
center lanes have been determined to be a general benefit and will not be
assessed to parcels within the Assessment District.
Cannon Road is also designated as a major arterial roadway. Previously,
Cannon Road did not exist east of El Camino Real. Four lanes are proposed to
be constructed. Two lanes are required to serve the estimated volume of
traffic generated by the Assessment District parcels. Two center lanes (one in
each direction) are required for through traffic originating outside of the
Assessment District. The costs associated with the construction and placement
of the asphalt and aggregate base for the two center lanes have been
determined to be a general benefit and will not be assessed to parcels within the
Assessment District .
Based on the estimated roadway construction costs, the cost of the roadway
aggregate base and asphalt pavement to provide the two center lanes for
both College Boulevard and Cannon Road is approximately $476,471. The
grading beneath the two center lanes of each roadway benefits the
Assessment District because it provides lateral support to the Assessment
District paved lanes. This grading can not be eliminated from the overall roadway
grading without constructing retaining walls that would unreasonably increase
the Assessment District cost. Therefore all of the College Boulevard and
Cannon Road grading provides special benefit to the Assessment District
Properties.
D-I Land Use Categories
The following land use categories are included in the Assessment District:
single-family detached and single-family attached residential, apartments
(affordable housing), elementary school, public park, community facilities
-." --
Lfd vl E-Prepared by Galen N. Peterson June 25,2003
City of Carlsbad - Assessment District No. 2003-01 (College Boulevard and Cannon Road East) Page 17
(such as day care facilities), home owners association recreation areas and
open space.
The non-active and undeveloped open space areas do not receive
special benefit from the works of improvements and will not be
assessed. Open space areas are those areas that are deeded or
perpetually designated in easements.
D-2 Proportionate Special Benefit of Roadway Improvements
Trip Generation Factors for Roadway Improvements
The use of and need for roadway improvements is a function of the
number of vehicle trips per day generated by the use of the land
served by the streets. Traffic engineers have developed traffic
generation factors, which are related to development density and
type of land use. Therefore, trip generation is an appropriate basis for
apportioning roadway improvements and related costs among the
specially benefited parcels. The trip generation factors will be estimated
from the July 1998, SANDAG Trip Generation Manual and weighted as
explained below.
SANDAG categorizes trips as primary, diverted and pass-by. This
analysis uses only the primary trip percentages for the non-residential
land use categories to avoid double counting of the residential trips.
Single Familv Detached Trip Generation
The Average Daily Trips (ADT) per detached single-family dwelling is
10 ADT. The Assessment District single-family dwelling product types
are similar to the SANDAG study areas.
Single Familv Attached Trip Generation
The Average Daily Trips per attached dwelling unit or for a
condominium unit is 8 ADT.
Apartment Affordable Housinq Trip Generation
The Average Daily Trips for each affordable housing unit, based on the
I998 SANDAG Trip Generation Manual for apartments, is 6 ADT.
School Trip Generation
The Average Daily Trips for an elementary school is 60 ADT per net
acre. The primary trip percentage for an elementary school site is 57%.
vl E-Prepared by Galen N. Peterson June 25,2003
City of Carlsbad - Assessment District No. 2003-01 (College Boulevard and Cannon Road East) Page 18
Communitv Facilitv Trip Generation
The Average Daily Trips rates for a community facility use is
equivalent to a day care use, which is permitted in this use category
and mentioned as a possible use in the Master Plans. The Average
Daily Trips rates for day care use is 80 ADT per 1,000 square feet.
The Floor Area Ratio for the day care sites is estimated at 0.1 of
building per net land area. Therefore, the 80 ADT per 1,000 square
feet is equivalent to approximately 348 ADT per net acre (80 times
43,560/1,000 times 0.1). The primary trip percentage for a day care is
28%.
Home Owners Association Recreation Areas Trip Generation
The Average Daily Trips generation for the home owner’s
association (HOA) recreation areas with parking, which is equivalent
to a neighborhood park, is 5 ADT per net acre. In order to avoid
double counting the residential trips, the primary trip percentage used
for external trips is 25%. This only applies to one of the lots in Village
X.
Public Park Trip Generation
The Average Daily Trips generation for a regional park is 20 ADT per
net acre. The primary trip percentage for a regional park is 66%.
College Boulevard and Cannon Road, Core Improvements - College
Boulevard and Cannon Road Core Improvement roadway costs specially
benefit all of the village planning areas in Benefit Area No. 1 and 2 as well
as village planning areas 8 and 9 in Robertson Ranch West, located outside
of the Assessment District boundary. Therefore, College Boulevard and
Cannon Road Core Improvement roadway costs were allocated to the
assessment numbers for these village planning areas based on the ADT
generation factors.
College Boulevard, Reach C, Frontage Improvements - College
Boulevard, Reach C, Frontage Improvement roadway costs specially
benefit only those villages which front on, or adjoin Reach C. This includes
villages E-I, U, W, X and Y. Therefore, College Boulevard, Reach C
Frontage Improvement roadway costs were allocated to the assessment
numbers for these villages based on the ADT generation factors.
College Boulevard, Reach B and Cannon Road, Reach 3, Frontage
Improvements - College Boulevard, Reach B and Cannon Road, Reach 3,
Frontage Improvement roadway costs specially benefit only those village
planning areas which front on, or adjoin Reaches B and 3. This includes
village planning areas 10, 1 IA, 1 I B, 14, and 15. Therefore, College
Boulevard, Reach B and Cannon Road, Reach 3, Frontage Improvement
roadway costs were allocated to the assessment numbers for these village

construct and pay for these Frontage Improvements at a later date.
550 gallons / day
D-3 Proportionate Special Benefit of Utility Improvements
The most pertinent and reasonable utility improvement special benefit
variable is average daily demand. The detached single family home
will be the basic equivalence for measuring demand to other land use
categories.
Potable Water and Sewer
Water and sewer demand was obtained from the 2002 update of the
City of Carlsbad Water Master Plan. A summary of the water and
sewer usage is shown below:
I Land Use I Potable Water and Sewer Usaqe 1
1 Single Family Attached 1 250 gallons / day I Non Residential I 2,300 gallons / 10,000 SF /day I
A single family detached unit has been assigned an equivalent dwelling
unit (EDU) weight of 1 .O EDU. By converting the gallons per day to EDU
we arrive at the following table:
Land Use I Potable Water and Sewer EDU
I Single Family Detached I 1.0 EDU / Unit I Single Family Attached I 0.5 EDU / Unit I Non Residential 1 4.2 EDU / 10,000 SF
The City of Carlsbad Water Master Plan estimates water demand for a
public park as 2.5 acre-foot per acre per year. This translates to 2,230
gallons per acre per day (2.5 x 43,560 x 7.481365). Potable water
demand for park is estimated as 10% of the demand for recycled water
for irrigation, resulting in 0.4 EDU per acre (0.1 x 2,230/550) of parkland.
vl E-Prepared by Galen N. Peterson June 25,2003
City of Carlsbad -Assessment District No. 2003-01 (College Boulevard and Cannon Road East) Page 20
Home owner association (HOA) lots water usage was estimated based
on the characteristics of the parcels and their expected land use. The
HOA lots are identified in Table 1 of Appendix F.
The water and sewer costs were allocated to the appropriate frontage
improvements for each reach of the roadway as shown in Table 7 of
Appendix F. These allocated costs were then spread only to the
assessment numbers that specially benefit from such water and sewer
costs as shown in Table 8 of Appendix F and as set forth below:
College Boulevard, Reach C, Frontage Improvements -Water costs for
College Boulevard, Reach C, Frontage Improvement specially benefit only
assessment numbers 1 through 9. The Assessment Diagram identifies a
benefit zone for the sewer improvements as Sewer Zone B. Sewer costs for
College Boulevard, Reach C, Frontage Improvement specially benefit only
assessment numbers 6 through 9, which are located within Sewer Zone B.
Therefore, water and sewer costs for College Boulevard, Reach C, Frontage
Improvement were allocated only to assessment numbers 1 through 9
based on the applicable EDU factors and further limited for sewer costs to
only the area within Sewer Zone B.
College Boulevard, Reach B, and Cannon Road, Reach 3 Frontage
Improvements - Water and sewer costs for College Boulevard, Reach B,
Frontage Improvement specially benefit only assessment number IO. The
Assessment Diagram identifies a benefit zone for the sewer improvements
as Sewer Zone C. Therefore, College Boulevard, Reach B, Frontage
Improvement water and sewer costs were allocated only to assessment
number 10 based on the applicable EDU factors and further limited for
sewer costs to only the area within Sewer Zone C.

1. Primary Trips are defined by SANDAG as “one trip directly between origin and primary
destination.”
Recycled Water
The recycled water system located within the public right-of-way will provide
irrigation water to (i) medians, parkways, and adjacent roadway slopes (in
and adjacent to the public streets and public easements) and trailhead
easements (ii) landscaped areas of the wetland mitigation (iii) landscaped
slopes and recreation lots within the home owners association open space
areas and (iv) landscaped areas of Basin BJB.
The recycled water system specially benefits only the four categories stated
above. Therefore, the recycled water system costs were allocated only to
the irrigated area of these four categories as shown in Table 2 of Appendix
F. The percentage of area in each category, determined from the total area
in all three categories, was multiplied times the cost of the recycled water
system to arrive at the cost to be applied to each category. The resulting
recycled water system cost for the first category was added to the cost for
the street portion of College Boulevard, Reach C, Frontage Improvements
and spread to all of the assessment numbers that specially benefit from that
roadway. The resulting recycled water system cost for the second category
was added to the cost for the street portion of Core Improvements for
College Boulevard, Reaches B and C, and Cannon Road, Reach 3, and
VI E-Prepared by Galen N. Peterson June 25,2003
City of Carlsbad - Assessment District No. 2003-01 (College Boulevard and Cannon Road East) Page 22
spread to all of the assessment numbers that specially benefit from the
street portion of the Core Improvements. The resulting recycled water
system cost for the third category was spread to all of the residential units
within the homeowners association that specially benefits from the open
space areas. The resulting recycled water system cost for fourth category
was added to the cost for Basin BJB and Storm Drain BJA and spread to the
assessment numbers that benefit from those improvements.
Dry Utilities
The demand for dry utilities is considered to be similar to the factors
used for water and sewer as shown above. The dry utilities costs
(limited by the Internal Revenue Service to five percent of the bond issue
amount in order for the bonds to qualify for tax-exempt status) were
allocated based on EDU factors using the same methodology and the
same factors as were used in allocating water and sewer costs.
The dry utilities costs were allocated to the appropriate core and
frontage improvements for each reach of the roadway as shown in
Table 7 of Appendix F. These allocated costs were then spread only to
the assessment numbers that specially benefit from such dry utilities
costs as shown in Table 8 of Appendix F.
D-4 Proportionate Special Benefit of Storm Water Basin BJB and Storm
Drain BJA Improvements
The Assessment Diagram identifies a benefit zone for the Drainage Basin
BJB and Storm Drain BJA improvements. Drainage Zone A includes all of
the Assessment District parcels that drain by gravity and therefore benefit
from the Basin BJB and Storm Drain BJA improvements. Drainage Zone A
includes all of villages R, U and W plus portions of villages K, L-2 and X.
The remaining parcels in the Assessment District do not benefit from the
Basin BJB and Storm Drain BJA improvements.
The measure of benefit for Basin BJB and Storm Drain BJA improvements
is an assessment unit, which is equivalent to a single family lot located
within Drainage Zone A.
Basin BJB and Storm Drain BJA costs benefit only assessment numbers in
Drainage Zone A, as shown on the Assessment Diagram. Therefore, Basin
BJB and Storm Drain BJA costs were allocated only to assessment numbers
3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 within Drainage Zone A based on the applicable
assessment units. There was no assessment for Basin BJB and Storm
Drain BJA costs to the remaining assessment numbers.

D-5 Proportioning Formation, Issuance and Financing Costs
The costs to form this Assessment District, including the costs of issuance,
have been determined to be eligible for inclusion in the Assessment
District funding. These costs that cannot be assigned directly to any one of
the benefit components and therefore have been separated into a separate
component for purposes of defining special benefits and allocating costs on
a pro-rata basis relative to the improvement costs associated with
each parcel as shown in Table 10 of Appendix F. The financing costs
(bond discount and bond reserve), including capitalized interest, have
also been assessed on a pro-rata basis relative to the improvement
costs associated with each parcel.
E. PROCLAMATIONS
E-I Assessments are equal to or less than the proportional special
benefit each parcel receives
The special benefit received from the Assessment District improvements
exceeds the assessment allocated to each parcel. The improvements
provided will increase the value of each parcel by more than the
assessment levied upon it. To ensure that the assessments will be equal to
or less than the proportional special benefit conferred, a review was made of
similar properties in the vicinity. Comparison of recent sales records
indicated that the average price per square foot of raw land increased in an
amount greater than the costs of the assessments per square foot after
backbone roadway and utility improvements were in place.
E-2 Reasonableness and Justification of Assessments
It is well known and understood by the development community that public
infrastructure is required for raw land to develop to its highest and best
use. After the passage of Proposition 13 and Assembly Bill 1600,
developers and investors realize that they must provide the public
infrastructure to support their developments without burdening existing
properties. The Assessment District improvements are estimated to add
9% or more value to each parcel's overall value. A review of other
developments has shown that this percentage is consistent with the costs
of providing backbone access and utilities to raw land in similar
developments. Therefore this Assessment levy is reasonable in relationship
to the added value the improvements provide to the parcels.
E-3 Future Apportionment of Special Benefit
Special benefit will accrue to each parcel created by the subdivision of the
property within the Assessment District. Since certain existing parcels within
vl E-Prepared by Galen N. Peterson IC*
k / June 25,2003
City of Carlsbad - Assessment District No. 2003-01 (College Boulevard and Cannon Road East) Page 24
the Assessment District will not, at the time of formation of the Assessment
District, have been subdivided into final lots, the initial assessments
established at the time of formation of the Assessment District will be placed
in the aggregate on the assessors parcels existing at the time of formation of
the Assessment District. An assessment levied on a parcel existing at the
time of formation of the Assessment District will be apportioned among those
parcels created by the subsequent subdivision of such existing parcel.
Assessments apportioned to any parcel created by the subdivision of an
existing parcel which is to be owned by a public agency (each, a “Public
Parcel”) or a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization (each, a “501 (c)(3) Parcel”) or
a home owners association (each, a “HOA Parcel”) must be paid off in full
prior to the recordation of the final subdivision map creating such Public
Parcel or 501 (c)(3) Parcel or HOA Parcel or contributed by the Developer as
a reduced purchase price for improvements to be acquired pursuant to the
Acquisition/Financing Agreement. The City shall not provide to the owner or
subdivider of such existing parcel a certificate as required by Government
Code Section 66493(f) for any subdivision certifying that the City Council has
determined that provision has been made for the segregation of the
responsibility of each of the proposed new parcels for a portion of the
assessment unless payment in full of the assessments apportioned to all
Public Parcels, 501 (c)(3) Parcels and HOA Parcels created by such
subdivision has been received by the City or otherwise contributed as
described above.
It is the City of Carlsbad’s policy that final lots that receive similar special
benefit also have similar final assessments. If the future subdivision of
any planning area does not yield the estimated number of dwelling units, the
City reserves the right to require upon application of assessment
reapportionment, that a portion of the outstanding assessment be paid
by the property owners to ensure that the assessments remain consistent
within and between the planning areas as further provided in the
Acquisition/Financing Agreement. All reapportionments will be subject to
City of Carlsbad policies and procedures.
FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS OF ASSESSMENT ENGINEER
The undersigned, Galen N. Peterson, hereby finds and determine as follows:
A. The proportionate special benefit derived by each parcel proposed to be
assessed has been determined in relationship to the entirety of the costs
of the improvements to be funded from the proceeds of the bonds issued
for the Assessment District and the cash collections.
vl E-Prepared by Galen N. Peterson June 25,2003
City of Carlsbad - Assessment District No. 2003-01 (College Boulevard and Cannon Road East) Page 25
B. No assessment is proposed to be imposed on any parcel which exceeds
the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that
parcel.
C. Only special benefits have been assessed.
D. Parcels within the Assessment District that are owned or used by any
agency, the State of California or the United States and which receive a
special benefit from the improvements have been assessed accordingly.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the assessments for the referenced
Assessment District have been spread in direct accordance with the estimated
special benefits that each parcel receives from the improvements.
