PART C
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 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.
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 ofthe 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 table below shows the calculation of the
cost estimate for general benefit for streetlights.

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.
• 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 ofthe landscaping and hardscaping improvements funded through this
Maintenance District. However, median curb replacement costs are included in the
overall replacement costs forthe 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 twelve 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 ofthe 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 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.

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 ofthe 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

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 such 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

ASSESSMENT APPORTIONMENT AND RATES
Eguivalent 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
proporlion 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.
