FY 2023-24 BUDGET (CONT’D)
The O&M Unit Cost is the operation and maintenance cost per improvement unit. These amounts are
derived from the FY 2023-24 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 17.32% to account for general benefit, as calculated on the table
shown on Page 12.
·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. There are no
administration costs associated with Zone 16 (Marja Acres) because the zone is currently in construction
and improvements of the district have not yet been completed. The Administrative Costs consists of the
following:
·The Annual Administration cost of $8,800 for the tracking and administration of the 16 zones within
the District.
·The County Levy Fee of $669 for submitting the assessments of approximately 6,686 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 $406,275 in replacement costs calculated by multiplying the Assessed Quantity by the
Replacement Unit Cost for each Improvement.
·A total of $69.70 is associated with exceeding costs not included in the FY 2023-24 assessment rate.
For Zone 4, the calculated budgeted rate exceeds the maximum rate, therefore the FY 2023-24
Assessment Rate was limited to the maximum rate. The difference of $69.70 has been added to the
total Replacement Reserve amount to be covered by the city’s General Fund.

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.

Preliminary Engineer’s Report
Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2
City of Carlsbad
Fiscal Year 2023-24

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.

FY 2023-24 COST ESTIMATE COMPARISON OF ELECTRICAL
COSTS FOR THE VARIOUS STREET LIGHTS WITHIN THE CITY
Therefore, 17.32% of the Street Lighting Improvements on the city’s arterial roadways are
considered general benefit, and only 82.68% 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.
·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 16 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.
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

Preliminary Engineer’s Report
Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2
City of Carlsbad
Fiscal Year 2023-24
16
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
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.
Zone 5 – Palomar Forum / Carlsbad Raceway
Zone 5 includes two non-residential developments that are directly adjacent to each other, Palomar
Forum and Carlsbad Raceway.

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
Camino 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 Poinsettia 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 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.

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 Poinsettia 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 local
street lights and the medians only if (a) the HOA fails to maintain any such street lights and medians
pursuant to the Agreement, (b) as a result of the failure of the HOA to maintain any such

maintenance as required pursuant to the Agreement.
There are 283 SFD units and a 2.26 acre park on public streets, with local street lights and street
trees within and directly adjacent to them. There are a total of 168 APT units, a 5.71 acre RV
Parking lot, and 43 SFD units on private streets, with no public local street lights or street trees.
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.
Zone 12 – La Costa Town Square
The La Costa Town Square development is located on the north east corner of La Costa Avenue and
Rancho Santa Fe Road. It is comprised of varying types of land uses that receive special benefit from
the street trees, street lighting, and medians within and directly adjacent to the development.
There are 64 SFDs and 39.66 acres Non-Res development that all have local street lights and trees
in the public streets directly adjacent to them. There is are 32 SFDs that do not have public local
street lights or street trees.
Street trees and street lights along La Costa Avenue are classified as Collector Trees and Collector
40W lights. The La Costa Town Square development is on the north side of La Costa Avenue and will
benefit from the street lights along La Costa Avenue, therefore 50% of the street lights along La
Costa Avenue have been apportioned to the La Costa Town Square. All the trees in La Costa Avenue
directly adjacent to the La Costa Town Square have been apportioned to the La Costa Town Square.

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 La Costa Avenue. These include the SFD
and Non-Res development areas.
It is anticipated that the HOA will maintain the street trees. The city and the owners of the land
within La Costa Town Square have an Agreement to provide for the maintenance of such
improvements by the HOA; therefore, annual assessments will be levied within Zone 12 for the
maintenance of the trees only if (a) the HOA fails to maintain any such street lights and trees
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 entire development also benefits from arterial lighting and medians Rancho Santa Fe Road.
There will be approximately 1,795 linear feet of medians in Rancho Santa Fe Road along the south
east side of the development (which equals approx. 34,105 sf of medians based on a typical 19’
width). The La Costa Town Center development is on both the north and south side of Rancho
Santa Fe Road and will benefit from the improved aesthetics of the medians; therefore the entire
benefit from the medians in Rancho Santa Fe Road is apportioned to the La Costa Town Square.
Zone 13 – Fair Oaks Valley
The Fair Oaks Valley development is located to the east of the La Costa Oaks development. It is
comprised of residential land uses that receive special benefit from the street trees and street
lighting within the development.
There are 49 SFDs that all have local 40W street lights and trees in the public streets directly
adjacent to them.
Street trees and street lights along Camino Junipero are classified as Collector Trees and Collector
100W lights. The annual cost to maintain these trees and street lights will be spread among the
entire development because the entire development takes access from Camino Junipero. However,
should the street be extended beyond the Fair Oaks Valley development, then the benefits to the
development will be revaluated.
It is anticipated that the HOA will maintain the street trees and street lights. The city and the
owners of the land within Fair Oaks Valley have an Agreement to provide for the maintenance of
such improvements by the HOA; therefore, annual assessments will be levied within Zone 13 for
the maintenance of the trees and lights only if (a) the HOA fails to maintain any such street lights
and trees 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

will be approximately 44,726 square feet of medians in El Camino Real along the south side of the
development and approximately 1,440 square feet of medians in College Blvd along the easterly
side of the development. The Roberson Ranch West Village is on the north side of El Camino Real
and the east side of Tamarak Avenue. The developments on the opposite sides of El Camino Real
and Tamarak Avenue will benefit from the improved aesthetics of the medians directly adjacent to
this property; therefore 50% of the benefit for the medians in El Camino Real and Tamarak Avenue
is apportioned to the Robertson Ranch West Village (22,363 sf of medians in El Camino Real and
720 sf of medians in Tamarak Avenue).
Zone 16 – Marja Acres
The Marja Acres development is located on the south side of El Camino Real between Kelly Drive
and Julie Place and is comprised of varying types of land uses that receive special benefit from the

There are a 46-unit affordable senior housing complex (“APT”), 248 SFA units, 1.95 acres of Non-
Res development, and 1.54 acres of Park improvements that are on private streets, and therefore
are not considered to have any local street lights or trees directly adjacent to them.
The entire development receives special benefit from the arterial street trees and arterial street
lighting on El Camino Real. The entire development also benefits from medians in El Camino Real.
There will be approximately 20,323 square feet of medians in El Camino Real along the north side
of the development. The developments on the opposite side of El Camino Real will benefit from the
improved aesthetics of the medians directly adjacent to this property; therefore 50% of the benefit
for the medians in El Camino Real is apportioned to the Marja Acres development (10,162 sf of
medians in El Camino Real).
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.
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.

The following tables provide the EDU’s for the various types of special benefits associated with each Zone,
FY 2023-24 budget rates and the maximum assessment rates for FY 2023-24. 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 2023-24 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 2023-24 Assessment Rate has been limited
to the FY 2023-24 Maximum Rate per EDU.
The total amount not collected due to maximum budget limitations for FY 2023-24 is approximately $69.70.

Preliminary Engineer’s Report
Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2
City of Carlsbad
Fiscal Year 2023-24
28
The maximum annual maintenance assessment will be increased for cost of living each year according to the
change in Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Diego County area. (Any other increases or changes to the
methodology of the Assessment must be submitted for property owner approval.)
No assessments will be collected in FY 2023-24 for Zone 13 (Fair Oaks Valley) because the HOA is
maintaining all improvements within the Fair Oaks Valley development.
No assessments will be collected in FY 2023-24 for Zone 16 (Marja Acres) because none of the
improvements have been installed within the Marja Acres development as this project is still under
development.
