XlllD”) and the Proposition 21 8 Omnibus Implementation Act (Government
Code Section 53750 and following) (the “Implementation Act”) (Article
XlllD and the Implementation Act may be referred to collectively as the
“Assessment Law”) establish certain procedures and requirements which
apply when any agency such as the City considers the levy of
assessments upon real property.
2.
following:
The requirements established by the Assessment Law include the
a. The proportionate special benefit derived by each parcel to be
assessed must be determined in relationship to the entirety of the
capital cost of the improvement for which the assessment is to be
levied;
b. No assessment may be imposed on any parcel which
exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit
conferred on that parcel from the improvement for which the
assessment is to be levied;
H:WORDUlbsters\FORMSWeighbomood Improvement Agrnt 3 Rev. 9/06/00
c. Only special benefits are assessable; and
d. Parcels within an assessment district that are owned or used
by any agency, the State of California or the United States of
America shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency
proposing to levy the assessment can demonstrate by clear and
convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact
receive no special benefit from the improvement for which the
assessment is being levied.
3. The procedures established by the Assessment Law include:
a. The agency which proposes to levy an assessment (the
“Agency”) shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit
conferred upon them from the improvement for which the
assessment is proposed to be levied and upon which an
assessment is proposed to be imposed.
b. All assessments must be supported by a detailed engineer’s
report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by
the State of California.
c. Prior to levying a new assessment , the Agency must give
written notice by mail (the “Assessment Notice”) to the record
owner, Le., the owner of a parcel whose name and address
appears on the last equalized 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 payments, (iv) the reason for the assessment, (v) the
basis on which the amount of the proposed assessment was
calculated, and (vi) the date, time and location of a public hearing
on the proposed assessment.
d. The Assessment Notice must contain an assessment ballot

ballot may indicate his or her name, a reasonable identification of
the parcel, and his or her support or opposition to the proposed
assessment. The Assessment Notice must also include, in a
conspicuous place, a summary of the procedures for the
completion, return and tabulation of assessment ballots.
H:WORD\Masters\FORMSWeighborhood Improvement Agmt 4 Rev. 9/08/00
..
e. At the time, date and place stated in the Assessment Notice,
the Agency shall conduct a public hearing upon the proposed
assessment. At such public hearing, the Agency shall consider all
objections or protests, if any, to the proposed assessment. At such
public hearing, any interested person shall be permitted to present
written or oral testimony.
f. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Agency shall
tabulate the assessment ballots submitted, and not withdrawn, in
support or opposition to the proposed assessment. If there is a

the assessment ballots submitted, and not withdrawn, in opposition
to the proposed assessment exceed the assessment ballots
submitted, and not withdrawn, in favor of the proposed assessment.
In tabulating the assessment ballots, the assessment ballots shall
be weighted by the amount of the proposed assessment to be
imposed upon each parcel for which an assessment ballot was
submitted.
4. The description of the requirements and procedures established by
and contained in the Assessment Law set forth above are intended only to
summarize certain of such requirements and procedures.
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 ability to impose the Assessment on the Property is both
a material inducement to and a material consideration for the City to enter
into this Agreement and agree to 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 conditions of this Agreement.
