RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That a public hearing be held to consider a staff report, receive public comment, and approve
Resolution No. 2010-162 confirming the diagram and assessment and providing for
the levy of the annual assessment for Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On November 18, 2003, the City Council formed Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2
("District No. 2"). District No. 2 was formed for new development in the City, to pay for the costs
of street lights, street trees and medians within those areas. Street lights, street trees and
medians in the previously developed parts of the City are paid from assessments within Street
Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1 ("District No. 1").
Each development within District No. 2 is considered a separate zone, with their own
assessment based on the costs for that particular area of the City. There are currently eleven
zones in District No. 2, including Calavera Hills II, Kelly Ranch, the Oaks South,
Thompson/Tabata, Palomar Forum/Carlsbad Raceway, Bressi Ranch, La Costa Greens, La
Costa Ridge, the Oaks North Industrial Park, Robertson Ranch (East Village), and the Oaks
North Residential developments. Staff is working with other developers currently building
communities in the City. These properties will be annexed into District No. 2 in the near future.
At its meeting of May 11, 2010, the City Council approved three resolutions that initiated
proceedings and ordered the preparation of an Engineer's Report for a Special Assessment
District, approved the Engineer's Report, and set tonight's public hearing (June 22, 2010).
The attached Engineer's Report outlines the maintenance to be performed during the upcoming
fiscal year, the associated maintenance costs, and the City's contribution of a "General Benefit"
for street lighting, as detailed in the previously approved Engineer's Report. The "General
Benefit" became a requirement with Proposition 218. Any share of benefits received from an
improvement that does not provide a special benefit to the assessed properties is considered a
general benefit provided by the improvements. The cost of the general benefit can not be
assessed to the properties in the Assessment District. Therefore, the general benefit is
contributed by the City from the General Fund.
The resolution setting the public hearing was published in the North County Times at least ten
days prior to the public hearing date.

FISCAL YEAR 2010-11 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT PROCESSING:
In each of the eleven zones, a maximum and actual assessment rate is calculated on an annual
basis. The maximum is the maximum annual assessment rate that can be assessed on a
particular parcel. The rate is calculated by adding up all the costs of maintenance and
replacements, assuming that all of the improvements in each zone were fully maintained by the
City. However, in District No. 2, eight zones have a portion of their improvements maintained
by their homeowners association (HOA). The calculated cost of maintaining any improvement
that will be borne by a HOA has been subtracted from the maximum annual assessment in
order to determine the actual annual assessment. The maximum assessments can increase by
the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on an annual basis. The change in the San
Diego County CPI from January 2009 to January 2010 was 0.6%, and is reflected in the
maximum assessment rates for 2010-11.
The actual annual assessment is the amount that will be charged to each property owner on his
or her annual property tax statement. If, at any point in the future, the City determines that the
HOA is not maintaining the improvements to the City's standard, the City has the ability to
assume the maintenance of the improvements and charge the property owner up to the
maximum annual assessment. This would be done so that the City can recover its costs of
maintaining the improvements.
In addition to costs associated with improvements being maintained by HOA's, street lighting
costs have not been fully assessed for Fiscal Year 2010-11 in each zone, since some of these
lights have either recently been energized or will not be energized until Fiscal Year 2010-11.
When street lights are initially energized, developers prepay 18 months of electricity charges.
Therefore, street lights costs are not assessed to property owners until the fiscal year after the
lights have been energized.
As shown in the table below, the actual assessment rates for a single-family residential parcel
per year range from a low of $3.70 per parcel to a high of $138.48 per parcel. These
assessments vary between developments depending on the density of each development, the
amount and types of improvements being maintained in each development, and the amount
maintained by the HOA's.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2010-11 Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2 total budget for the
eleven zones is projected to be $433,230. Interest earned on cash reserves in the District No.
2 Fund will contribute $19,500 to the fund. The assessment rates in each zone of District No. 2
have been set so that the maintenance and operations, as well as the replacement of
improvements, will be funded entirely through the property owners that benefit from the
improvements. Of the total projected FY 2010-11 assessments, $197,154 will be spent on
maintenance operations and $236,076 will be set aside for future replacement of
improvements.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The project is categorically exempt under CEQA, pursuant to Section 15301 (c).

PARTC
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing
certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of street
lights, traffic signals and landscaping facilities.
Streets and Highways Code Section 22573 requires that maintenance assessments be levied
according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"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 among all
assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such
lot or parcel from the improvements."
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if
"by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas
will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act
requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
In addition, Article XIIID and the Implementation Act requires that a parcel's assessment may not
exceed the reasonable cost for the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Article
XIIID and the Implementation Act further provides that only special benefits are assessable and the
City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. They also require that publicly
owned properties which specially benefit from the improvements be assessed.
SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Proper maintenance and operation of the streetlights, street trees and street medians provides special
benefit to adjacent properties by providing security, safety, and community character and vitality.
Local Lighting.
Special Benefit. The operation, maintenance and servicing of lighting along local streets in close
proximity to certain lots or parcels provides a special benefit to such lots or parcels by
providing illumination resulting in: 1) improved security of such lots or parcels, 2) improved
ingress and egress from such lots or parcels by illuminating access after sunset, and 3)
improved nighttime visibility for the local access of emergency vehicles. Local lighting
consists of 100 watt lights.
Street lights on or associated with traffic signals located at artenal-to-local connectors are
considered to be 100% special benefit to those developments taking direct access at these
intersections.
General Benefit. There are no general benefits associated with local lighting.

Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2
Final Annual Engineer's Report - FY 2010-11
June 3, 2010

Arterial Lighting.
Special Benefit. The operation, maintenance and servicing of arterial lighting provides a special
benefit to each and every assessable lot or parcel within the development or vicinity which
are adjacent to such lighting resulting in: 1) improved nighttime visibility for the access of
emergency vehicles, and 2) improved safety and traffic circulation to and from parcels.
Arterial lighting consists of 200 watt lights; however, special benefit is assigned consistent
with local lighting wattage.
General Benefit. The City recognizes that a portion of the maintenance, operation and servicing
of those Street Lighting Improvements that are a part of the City's arterial lighting
improvements provide a general benefit to the public at large, which equates to the higher
level of lighting required on arterial roads.
The general benefits associated with Arterial Lighting are attributable to the higher level of
lighting required for an arterial roadway. That higher level of lighting provides a measure of
safety for the additional width of the street. Local and collector roadways require only 9,500
lumen lights (typically 100 watt lights) and arterial roadways require 22,000 lumen lights
(typically 200 watt lights).
The amount of general benefit is established by multiplying the number of arterial streetlights
currently in the City by the difference between the average annual electrical costs to
illuminate a light on an arterial street and a local street. (Electrical costs are used in this
comparison, as the personnel and replacement costs for the various lumens and wattages of
lights are virtually the same.) The table below shows the calculation of the cost estimate for
general benefit for streetlights.

Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2
Final Annual Engineer's Report - FY 2010-11 Page 10
Therefore, 16.6% of the Street Lighting Improvements on the City's arterial roadways are
considered general benefit, and only 83.4% of these Street Lighting Improvements will be
used to estimate the special benefit costs.
Streetlights on or associated with traffic signals located at arterial-to-arterial connectors are
considered to be 100% general benefit.
In addition to the above, streetlights fronting upon open space areas owned by governmental
agencies and/or managed by a non-profit environmental trust and which are considered part
of the major habitat core areas and/or linkages of the City's Habitat Management Plan shall
be considered as having 100% general benefit.
Street Landscaping.
Special Benefit. Trees, landscaping, hardscapmg and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained,
provide beautification, shade and enhancement of the desirability of the surroundings, and
therefore increase property value.
• Street trees within the public street parkways provide special benefit to those properties
directly adjacent to those tree-lined parkways.
• Landscaping and hardscapmg within medians in the public streets provide special benefit
to those developments that are directly adjacent to the public medians. These medians are
located in the arterial roadways.
General Benefit.
• There are no general benefits associated with local street trees.
• Landscaping and hardscapmg within medians in the arterial roadways provide only
incidental aesthetic benefits to motorists travelling to, from or through the City.
Therefore, it is deemed that there are no general benefits associated with the landscaped
medians.
Vehicular safety associated with the traffic channelization provided by raised medians is
independent of the landscaping and hardscaping improvements funded through this
Maintenance District. However, median curb replacement costs are included in the
overall replacement costs for the medians. Because raised median curbs are required for
both landscaping and traffic channelization, 50% of the median curb replacement costs
have been removed from the budget.
Benefit Zones
Benefit Zones are used to differentiate between the different types of Improvements to be maintained
and serviced within each such zone. There are currently ten zones of benefit in this District.
Zone 1 - Calavera Hills II
The Calavera Hills II development is located in and around the intersection of Carlsbad Village
Drive and College Boulevard and is comprised of villages of varying types of land uses that will
receive special benefit from the street lighting, street trees and medians within and directly
Q:\Carlsbad\AnnualAdmin\FY 10-11\LLMD2\Report\LLD2 10-11 Final Rpt06-03-10.doc
City of Carlsbad June 3, 2010
Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2
Final Annual Engineer's Report - FY 2010-11 Page 11
adjacent to the development. It is anticipated that the Home Owners Association ("HOA") will
maintain the street trees. The C'ity and the owners of the land within Calavera Hills II have an
agreement to provide for the maintenance of the street trees by the HOA; therefore, annual
assessments will be levied within Zone 1 for the maintenance of street trees only if (a) the HOA
fails to maintain such street trees pursuant to the Agreement, (b) as a result of the failure of the
HOA to maintain such street trees, the City is required to undertake such maintenance and (c) the
HOA has failed to reimburse the City for the cost of such maintenance as required pursuant to
the Agreement.
Villages K, L-2, W and X are comprised of single family detached ("SFD") units and have local
streetlights and street trees within the public streets. Village X also has a 0.OS-acre of non-
residential ("Non-Res") land use that takes access off of College Boulevard. This property is a
utility with no local streetlights or street tress adjacent to it.
Villages E, U and Y are comprised of single family attached ("SFA"), apartment ("APT") units,
and 1 acre of Non-Res land use, and do not have any local lighting or street trees. Village "Y"
also has a 1.00-acre of Non-Res use.
Village H is comprised of 2 acres of Non-Res use and does not have local lighting and street
trees.
All of the villages receive special benefit from the arterial street lighting on Carlsbad Village
Drive, College Boulevard and Tamarack Avenue that is directly adjacent to these village areas.
The entire Calavera Hills development (not just Calavera Hills II) benefits from the medians
within College Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive within the boundaries of the development.
An analysis has been performed to allocate the appropriate share of the medians to the Calavera
Hills II development based on the assessment apportionment methodology shown in this Report.
Zone 2 - Kelly Ranch Core
The Kelly Ranch Core development is located southeast of the intersection of Cannon Drive and
Faraday Avenue and is comprised of varying types of land uses that receive special benefit from
the street lighting and medians within and directly adjacent to the development.
The core development consists of SFD and APT units, 2.61 acres of Non-Res, a park and vacant
property (future development details have not been determined) that have local streetlights in the
public streets directly adjacent to them. All of these properties benefit from the local lights
within this core development. There are an additional 5 SFD units planned for the Kirgis
development, which is directly adjacent to Kelly Ranch and takes access through the
development. A 2.63 acres site of Non-Res does not have local lighting. Part of this development
also includes a city-owned 1.48-acre future wastewater pumping plant site taking access off of
Cannon Road. This property is considered Non-Res utility property that has no local streetlights
adjacent to it. Although this property is a utility with essentially no value, it does receive the
arterial lighting special benefits; however, this utility property is not deemed to benefit from the
landscaped median improvements.
All of the development receives special benefit from the arterial street lighting and medians on
Cannon Road.

Zone 3 - The Oaks South
The Oaks South development is located to the northeast of the intersection of Rancho Santa Fe
Road and Cammo de los Coches and is comprised of varying types of land uses that receive
special benefit from the street lighting, street trees and medians within and directly adjacent to
the development. It is anticipated that the HOA will maintain the street trees, local street lights
and medians. The City and the owners of the land within the Oaks South have an Agreement to
provide for the maintenance of such improvements by the HOA; therefore, annual assessments
will be levied within Zone 3 for the maintenance of such improvements only if (a) the HOA fails
to maintain such any such improvements pursuant to the Agreement, (b) as a result of the failure
of the HOA to maintain any such Improvements, the City is required to undertake such
maintenance and (c) the HOA has failed to reimburse the City for the cost of such maintenance
as required pursuant to the Agreement.
The development consists of SFD units, and 1.62 acres of Non-Res property that have local street
lights and street trees in the public streets directly adjacent to them.
All of the development receives special benefit from the arterial street lighting and medians on
Rancho Santa Fe Road. The median improvements on Rancho Santa Fe Road extend into an
open space area that separates The Oaks South from The Oaks North development. This median
provides an aesthetic link between the two developments and therefore 50% of the costs of the
medians within the open space area to the north of The Oaks South is apportioned to The Oaks
South, and 50% is apportioned to The Oaks North.
Zone 4 - Thompson / Tabata
The Thompson/Tabata development is located along Pomsettia Lane west of Aviara Parkway
and is comprised of varying types of land uses that benefit from the operation and maintenance
of street lighting, street trees and medians within and directly adjacent to the development. It is
anticipated that the HOA will maintain the street trees. The City and the owners of the land
within the Thompson/Tabata property have an Agreement to provide for the maintenance of such
improvements by the HOA; therefore, annual assessments will be levied within Zone 4 for the
maintenance of street trees only if (a) the HOA fails to maintain such street trees pursuant to the
Agreement, (b) as a result of the failure of the HOA to maintain such street trees, the City is
required to undertake such maintenance and (c) the HOA has failed to reimburse the City for the
cost of such maintenance as required pursuant to the Agreement.
The development consists of SFD units that have local street lights and street trees in the public
streets directly adjacent to them, and SFA units that take access off streets with local streetlights
but do not have street trees directly adjacent to them.
All of the development receives special benefit from the arterial street lighting and medians on
Pomsettia Lane.
The existing SFD property, Assessor's Parcel Number 214-170-81-00, is already assessed in
Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1 and is therefore exempted from this District.

Palomar Forum and Carlsbad Raceway.
The Palomar Forum development is located along the northerly side of Palomar Airport Road,
east of Melrose Drive, and is comprised of 51.63 acres of Non-Res and 1.71 acres of Park that
have 100 watt local street lights in the public streets directly adjacent to them.
The Carlsbad Raceway development is located north of Palomar Airport Road and west of
Business Park Drive and is comprised of 86.20 acres of Non-Res that has 200 watt local street
lights in the public street directly adjacent to them.
Both developments receive special benefit from the arterial street lighting and medians on
Melrose Drive and Palomar Airport Road.
Zone 6 - Bressi Ranch
The Bressi Ranch development is located on the southeast corner of Palomar Airport Road and
El Cammo Real. It is comprised of varying types of land uses that receive special benefit from
the street trees, medians, street lighting within and directly adjacent to the development. The
entire development benefits from the street lighting within and directly adjacent to the
development, except the residential estate area that has private streets and so does not have any
local public street light benefits. It is anticipated that the HOA will maintain the local
streetlights and the street trees within the residential areas and the medians in Pomsettia Lane.
The City and the owners of the land within Bressi Ranch have an Agreement to provide for the
maintenance of such improvements by the HOA; therefore, annual assessments will be levied
within Zone 6 for the maintenance of the local street lights only if (a) the HOA fails to maintain
such any such street lights pursuant to the Agreement, (b) as a result of the failure of the HOA to
maintain any such Improvements, the City is required to undertake such maintenance and (c) the
HOA has failed to reimburse the City for the cost of such maintenance as required pursuant to
the Agreement.
The development consists of SFD units and 8 Parks that have trees and local street lights in the
public streets directly adjacent to them. There are SFA units that have local street lights adjacent
to them, but do not have street trees directly adjacent to them. There are 25 SFD estate units on
private streets, with no public local street lights or street trees. There are also 146.95 acres of
Non-Res development that have 100 watt and 200 watt local lighting adjacent to them.
All of the development receives special benefits from medians in Palomar Airport Road, El
Camino Real, and Poinsettia Lane.

lights, in the streets directly adjacent to them. There are 64 SFD units on private streets, with no
public local street lights or street trees. There are 180 APT units, a Pump Station, and a Golf
Course that are within the development and are taken into consideration when spreading the
special benefits, but are not part of this district and are assessed in Street Lighting and
Landscaping District No. 1.
Street trees and street lights along Alicante Road are classified as Collector Trees and Collector
100W Lights. The annual cost to maintain these trees and street lights will be spread among the
development areas that are directly adjacent to and take access from Alicante Road.
It is anticipated that the HOA will maintain the local streetlights and the street trees within the
residential areas and the medians within Pomsettia Lane. The City and the owners of the land
within the Greens have an Agreement to provide for the maintenance of such improvements by
the HOA; therefore, annual assessments will be levied within Zone 7 for the maintenance of the

Zone 11 - Oaks North Residential
The Oaks North Residential Development is located south west of the intersection at Rancho
Santa Fe Rd and Questhaven Road, abutting the open space area that separates the Oaks North
development from the Oaks South development. It is comprised of residential and non-
residential land uses that receive special benefit from the street lighting, street trees, and medians
within and directly adjacent to the development.
It is anticipated that the HOA will maintain the local streetlights and the street trees, and the
medians within the residential areas. The City and the owners of the land within the Oaks North
have an Agreement to provide for the maintenance of such improvements by the HOA; therefore,
annual assessments will be levied within Zone 11 for the maintenance of the local street lights
and street trees only if (a) the HOA fails to maintain such any such street lights pursuant to the

All of the development receives special benefit from the collector street lighting, street trees, and
medians on San Elijo Road and Avenida Soledad
All of the development receives special benefit from the arterial street lighting and medians on
Rancho Santa Fe Road. The median improvements on Rancho Santa Fe Road extend into an
open space area that separates The Oaks South from The Oaks North development. This median
provides an aesthetic link between the two developments and therefore 50% of the costs of the
medians within the open space area to the south of The Oaks North is apportioned to The Oaks
North, and 50% is apportioned to The Oaks South.
ASSESSMENT APPORTIONMENT AND RATES
Equivalent Dwelling Units
To establish the special benefit to the individual parcels within the District, an Equivalent Dwelling
Unit system is used. Each parcel of land is assigned Equivalent Dwelling Units ("EDU's") in
proportion to the estimated special benefit the parcel receives relative to the other parcels within the
District from the streetlights, street trees and medians.
The single-family detached (SFD) residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for
calculation of assessments; therefore, the SFD residential parcel is defined as one Equivalent
Dwelling Unit (EDU). A methodology has been developed to relate all other land uses to the SFD
residential land use as described below.
Single Family Attached (SFA) Residential. SFA residential uses, including condominiums, are
given a factor of 0.80 EDU per dwelling unit. Based on data from representative cities in Southern
California, the SFA residential factor of 80 percent is determined by the statistical proportion of
relative trip generation from various types of residential uses, in combination with population density
per unit.

City of Carlsbad June 3, 2010
Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2
Final Annual Engineer's Report- FY2010-11 Page 17
Apartment (APT) Residential. APT residential uses, also known as multifamily residential uses,
are given a factor of 0.60 EDU per dwelling unit. Based on data from representative cities in
Southern California, the APT residential factor of 60 percent is determined by the statistical
proportion of relative trip generation from various types of residential uses, in combination with
population density per unit.
Non-Residential (Non-Res). In converting improved non-residential properties to EDUs, the factor
used is the City of Carlsbad average size for a SFD residential lot, which is 1 dwelling unit per 7,500
sq. ft, or approximately 6 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, Non-Res parcels will be assessed 6
EDU per acre or any portion thereof.
Vacant/Parks. Parcels that are designated for parks or parcels that are developable but do not have a
finalized development map are assessed based upon the acreage of the parcel. These properties
receive special benefits based on their land, as this is the basis of their value. Based upon the
opinions of professional appraisers, appraising current market property values for real estate in
Southern California, the land value portion of a property typically ranges from 20 to 30 percent of
the property's total value. Additionally, the utilization of vacant property is significantly less than
improved property and vacant property has a traffic generation rate of 0. Therefore, vacant parcels
(and park parcels) will be assessed at the rate of 25% of Non-Res properties, or 1.5 EDU per acre or
any portion thereof.
Open Space. Parcels designated as open space do not receive special benefits from the
Improvements and are therefore exempt from the assessment.
The following table summarizes the EDU formula described above.
EDU Formula
Land Use EDU Rate
Single Family Detached Res (SFD) 1.0 / DU
Single Family Attached Res (SFA) 0.8 / DU
Apartments (APT) 0.6 / DU
Developed Non-Residential (Non-Res) 6.0 / acre
Vacant / Park 1.5 / acre
Open Space 0.0 / acre
