assessed must be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital

reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel
from the improvement for which the assessment is to be levied;
c. Only special benefits are assessable; and
d. Parcels within an assessment district that are owned or used by any

prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of
California.

secured property tax roll, of each parcel proposed to be assessed. The
Assessment Notice must include: (i) the total amount of the proposed
assessment chargeable to the entire assessment district, (ii) the amount
chargeable to the record owner's parcel, (iii) the duration of the assessment

assessment to be imposed upon each parcel for which an assessment

01125113
5. The City would not agree to issue the Development Permit prior to the
construction of the Improvements unless the City is assured that it will be legally
able to impose the Assessment on the Property. The assurance of the City's legal

issue the Development Permit prior to the construction of the Improvements.
B. owner has had a reasonable opportunity to thoroughly read and review the
Assessment Law in its entirety and has further had a reasonable opportunity to
consult with owner's attorney regarding the Assessment law and the terms and
