Meeting Date: July 14, 2020  To: Mayor and City Council  From: Scott Chadwick, City Manager   Staff Contact: Jason Rosado, Assistant to the Treasurer  jason.rosado@carlsbadca.gov, 760‐602‐2473  Subject: Fiscal Year 2020‐21 Final Engineer’s Report for the annual levy of  assessments within Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2  Recommended Action  Hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving the diagram and assessment, ordering  maintenance work to be performed, and authorize the levy of the annual assessment for fiscal  year 2020‐21 for Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2, a special assessment district.  Executive Summary  The City Council's approval is needed to process the annual levy of assessments within the city's  Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2 for FY 2020‐21 in compliance with the procedures  of California Streets and Highways Code Section 22620‐22641.  Discussion    Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2, formed by the City Council in 2003, pays for the  maintenance and replacement costs of street lights, street trees, and medians in new  development in the city. (The cost of street lights, street trees, and medians in the other  developed parts of the city are paid from assessments within Street Lighting and Landscaping  District No. 1.) California Streets and Highways Code Section 22622 requires the City Council to  order an engineer to prepare and file a report each fiscal year for which assessments are to be  levied.  Each development within District No. 2 is considered a separate zone, each with its own  assessment based on the costs for that particular area of the city. There are 15 zones in District  No. 2 and in each zone a maximum and actual assessment rate is calculated on an annual basis.  The maximum annual assessment rate is the maximum annual rate that can be assessed on a  particular parcel and is calculated by adding up all the costs of maintenance and replacements,  assuming that the improvements in each zone were fully maintained by the city. However, in  District No. 2, several zones have a portion of their improvements maintained by their  homeowners’ associations. The calculated cost of maintaining any improvement that will be  borne by a homeowners’ association has been subtracted from the maximum annual  assessment to determine the actual annual assessment. The maximum assessments can  July 14, 2020 Item #14 Page 1 of 37   increase by the increase in the consumer price index on an annual basis. The change in the San  Diego County Consumer Price Index from March 2019 to March 2020 was 1.8% and is reflected  in the maximum assessment rates for fy 2020‐21.     The actual annual assessment is the amount that will be charged to property owners on their  annual property tax statements. If, at any point in the future the city determines a  homeowners’ association 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  owners up to the maximum annual assessment. This would be done to recover the city’s costs  of maintaining the improvements.    As shown in the table below, the proposed assessment rates for a single‐family residential  parcel per year range from a low of $4.91 per parcel to a high of $178.20 per parcel. These  assessments vary between developments depending on the density of each development, and  the amount and types of improvements being maintained in each development.    Development  zones  Maximum   annual  assessment  rate  FY 2020‐21  Actual  annual  assessment  rate   FY 2019‐20

These amounts are derived from the FY 2020-21 city wide budget amounts and improvement totals shown in Landscape and Lighting District No. 1. · For the light improvements, this unit cost is calculated by dividing the total budgeted cost by the total number of street lightings within the City plus the annual energy cost. There is an annual cost per light that is calculated for each light wattage. For lights located on arterial roadways, the O&M Unit Costs have been reduced by 9.53% to account for general benefit, as calculated on the table shown on Page 13. · For the street tree improvements, the unit cost is calculated by dividing the total budget by the number of trees. · For the median improvements, the unit cost is calculated by dividing the total median budget amount by the total square footage of medians. The Replacement Unit Cost is the cost to replace each improvement unit. These amounts were established in FY 2004-05 when the District was formed and increased for cost of living each year according to the change in Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Diego County area. The Administrative Costs have been allocated to each Zone based on the improvements being maintained by the District in each Zone. There are no administration costs associated with Zone 13 (Fair Oaks Valley) because the HOA is maintaining all improvements within the Fair Oaks Valley Development. The Administrative Costs consists of the following: · The Annual Administration cost of $7,378 for the tracking and administration of 14 zones at $527 per zone. · The County Levy Fee of $597 for submitting the assessments of approximately 5,969 parcels at $0.10 to the County of San Diego for inclusion on the Tax Bills. The Replacement Reserve amount consists of the following: · A total of $371,046 in replacement costs calculated by multiplying the Assessed Quantity by the Replacement Unit Cost for each Improvement. Administrative Costs Annual Administration $7,378 County Levy Fee $597 Replacement Reserve $371,046 Fund Balance as of July 1 of Current FY ($371,046) Subtotal Administrative Costs: $7,975 FY 20-21 Annual Assessment: $721,483 July 14, 2020 Item #14 Page 18 of 37 Final Engineer’s Report Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2 City of Carlsbad Fiscal Year 2020-2021 10 · A total of $20,422 is associated with exceeding costs not included in the FY 2020-21 assessment rate. For Zones 4, 9, and 15, the calculated budgeted rate exceeds the maximum rate, therefore the FY 2020-21 Assessment Rate was limited to the maximum rate. The difference of $20,422 has been added to the total Replacement Reserve amount to be covered by the City’s General Fund. July 14, 2020 Item #14 Page 19 of 37 Final Engineer’s Report Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2 City of Carlsbad Fiscal Year 2020-2021 11 PART C – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 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 typically consists of 40 watt lights. Street lights on or associated with traffic signals located at arterial-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. July 14, 2020 Item #14 Page 20 of 37 Final Engineer’s Report Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2 City of Carlsbad Fiscal Year 2020-2021 12 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 typically consists of 100 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 40 watt lights) and arterial roadways require 22,000 lumen lights (typically 100 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 following table shows the calculation of the cost estimate for general benefit for streetlights. July 14, 2020 Item #14 Page 21 of 37 Final Engineer’s Report Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2 City of Carlsbad Fiscal Year 2020-2021 13 FY 2020-21 COST ESTIMATE COMPARISON OF ELECTRICAL COSTS FOR THE VARIOUS STREET LIGHTS WITHIN THE CITY Therefore, 9.53% of the Street Lighting Improvements on the city’s arterial roadways are considered general benefit, and only 90.47% 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, hardscaping and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, provide beautification, shade and enhancement of the desirability of the surroundings, and therefore increase property value.

Cost Less Public Parcel Contribution*$1,257,115 General Benefit Percentage 9.53% * Based on preliminary budget estimates July 14, 2020 Item #14 Page 22 of 37 Final Engineer’s Report Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2 City of Carlsbad Fiscal Year 2020-2021 14 · Street trees within the public street parkways provide special benefit to those properties directly adjacent to those tree-lined parkways. · Landscaping and hardscaping 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. · Street trees along the arterial roadways provide aesthetic benefits to people walking through the city. Per the 2005 Traveler Opinion and Perception Survey conducted by the Federal Highway Administration, approximately 10.9% of all trips are considered Walking Trips. Therefore, 10.9% of the Street Tree Improvements of the city’s arterial roadways are considered general benefit, and only 89.1% of these Street Tree improvements will be used to estimate the special benefit costs. · Landscaping and hardscaping 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 15 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 adjacent to the development. It is anticipated that the Home Owners Association ("HOA") will maintain the street trees. The city 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. July 14, 2020 Item #14 Page 23 of 37 Final Engineer’s Report Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2 City of Carlsbad Fiscal Year 2020-2021 15 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 0.08-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 1.05-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 6 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 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 Camino 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 July 14, 2020 Item #14 Page 24 of 37 Final Engineer’s Report Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2 City of Carlsbad Fiscal Year 2020-2021 16 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 Poinsettia 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 Poinsettia 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.

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 (“EDUs”) 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. Apartment (APT) Residential. APT residential uses, also known as multi-family 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. July 14, 2020 Item #14 Page 32 of 37 Final Engineer’s Report Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2 City of Carlsbad Fiscal Year 2020-2021 24 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 The following tables provide the EDU’s for the various types of special benefits associated with each Zone, FY 2020-21 budget rates and the maximum assessment rates for FY 2020-21. The budget rates are the calculated assessment rates that are required to generate revenue equal to the annual budget costs. The maximum assessment rates are the maximum amounts allowed to be collected as established in during formation/annexation of the zone into District. The maximum assessment rate increases each year by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Diego County area. The FY 2020-21 assessment rate will be the lesser of the budget rate and the maximum rate. For Zone 4, the budget rate for the SFA units exceeds the maximum rate due to an increase in the annual costs for the improvements within the zone. Therefore, the FY 2020-21 Assessment Rate has been limited to the FY 2020-21 Maximum Rate per EDU. For Zone 9, the budget rate for the Non-Res parcels exceeds the maximum rate due to an increase in the annual costs for the improvements as well as a decrease in assessable acreage within the zone. Therefore, the FY 2020-21 Assessment Rate has been limited to the FY 2020-21 Maximum Rate per EDU. For Zone 15, the budget rate for the Non-Res parcels in Planning Area 2 exceeds the maximum rate due to an increase in the annual costs for the improvements within the zone. Therefore, the FY 2020-21 Assessment Rate has been limited to the FY 2020-21 Maximum Rate per EDU.
