Name of District: Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 2. 2. The total maximum annual Assessment for the SLLD No. 2 Zone 14 for FY 2014-15: $55,440.00 3. Proposed Maximum Annual Assessment for the Property: The proposed maximum Assessment on your properties for FY 2014-15 is shown on the assessment ballot contained in Exhibit D. 4. Duration of the Proposed Assessment: The proposed assessment for the maintenance of the street lighting and median improvements will be levied annually. 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.) 5. Reason for the Assessment: To pay for the costs of maintenance of the SLLD No. 2 Improvements described in Attachment B that specially benefit the Property. 6. Calculation of the Assessment: All parcels within SLLD No. 2 Zone 14 that receive special benefit from the SLLD No. 2 Zone 14 Improvements will be assessed in proportion to the special benefit they receive. Existing law requires an assessment methodology be used for calculating the assessment to be levied on each parcel, based on the special benefit each parcel receives from the improvements being maintained. The following is a description of the methodology, which is summarized from a detailed Engineer's Report, a copy of which is enclosed with this Notice. Equivalent Dwelling Units The single-family detached residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of assessments; therefore, the single-family residential parcel is defined as one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). A methodology has been developed to relate all other land uses to the single-family detached residential land use.

Zone 14 - Quarry Creek. The Quarry Creek development is located south of Haymar Road. It is comprised of residential land uses that receive special benefit from the street trees and street lighting within the development. There are anticipated to be an 89 unit Apartment ("APP'), 352 single-family detached units ("SFD"), 0.9 acre parking lot (''Non-Res"), and 5.2 acres of Parks ("Parks") tiiat will benefit from street trees and street lights located in the public collector roadways within the development. Street trees and street lights along Hayward Street and Street A, Street B, Street D, Street E are classified as Collector Trees and Collector lOOW 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 these streets. It is anticipated that the HOA will maintain the street trees. The city and the ovwiers of the land within Quarry Creek have an Agreement to provide for the maintenance of such improvements by the HOA; therefore, annual assessments will be levied within Zone 14 for the maintenance of the trees only if (a) the HOA fails to maintain such any such 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 estimated maximum armual maintenance costs for Zone 14 for FY 2014-15 are calculated as follows: C-2 C:\Users\annat\Desktop\WFH 20! 5-03-27\Carlsbad\Carlsbad Quany Creek Annex\RPT-Exhibits B, C.

B. The Owner is aware of and imderstands that: 1. The City Council of the City of Carlsbad (the "City Coimcil") has previously formed SLLD No. 2 pursuant to the terms ofthe "Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972" (the "Act"), which is Division 15, Part 2 ofthe Streets and Highways Code ofthe State of Califomia. The purpose of SLLD No. 2 is to finance the costs and expenses of the ongoing maintenance of street lights, street trees and/or medians (the "SLLD No. 2 1 19 Improvements") that specially benefit properties within SLLD No. 2 and the costs and expenses of administering SLLD No. 2. These costs and expenses are financed through the levy of assessments on properties within SLLD No. 2 which specially benefit fi-om the SLLD No. 2 Improvements. 2. The provisions ofthe Act authorize the City Council to undertake proceedings to order the annexation of territory to SLLD No. 2. The proceedings to annex territory to SLLD No. 2 generally include the adoption by the City Council of resolutions initiating the annexation proceedings, ordering the preparation of a report described below and declaring the intention of the City Council to annex die territory to SLLD No. 2 and setting of a public hearing on the proposed annexation, the provision of notice of the time and place of such public hearing, the opportunity for any interested person to be heard at such public hearing and the right of majority protest to such aimexation. The report (the "Report") referred to above would contain (i) a description of the general nature, location and extent of the SLLD No. 2 Improvements that speciaUy benefit the territory to be annexed, (ii) an estimate of the costs of the maintenance of the SLLD No. 2 Improvements that specially benefit the territory to be annexed, including all incidental expenses, (iii) a diagram showing the territory proposed to be annexed to SLLD No. 2 and (iv) the net amount to be assessed upon the territory proposed to be annexed to SLLD No. 2 in proportion to the estimated special benefits to be received firom the SLLD No. 2 Improvements by each lot or parcel within the territory proposed to be annexed to SLLD No. 2. The Act does, however, authorize the annexation of territory to SLLD No. 2 without preparation of a Report, the opportunity for notice and hearing and the right of majority protest as would otherwise be required by the provisions of the Act if all of the owners of property within the territory proposed to be annexed to SLLD No. 2 have given written consent to the proposed annexation. 3. In addition to the provisions of the Act which apply to the annexation of territory to SLLD No. 2, Section 4 of Article XIIID ofthe Constitution of die State of Califomia ("Section 4") establishes certain procedural rights for the owners of property which may be subject to the levy of assessments. Section 4 requires that: (a) all assessments be supported by a detailed engineer's report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of Califomia; (b) the record owner of each parcel proposed to be assessed shall be given written notice by mail (the "Notice of Public Hearing") of the total amount of the assessment chai^eable within SLLD No. 2 includmg the territory to be annexed, the amount chargeable to tiie owner's particular parcel, the duration of the payments, the reason for the proposed assessment and the basis upon which the amount of the proposed assessment was calculated, together with the date, time and location of a public hearing on the proposed assessment; 2C (c) the Notice of Public Hearing must also contain an assessment ballot whereby the record owner of each parcel proposed to be assessed may indicate his or her support for or opposition to the proposed assessment; (d) the City Council is required to conduct a public hearing upon the proposed assessment not less than 45 days after the mailing of the Notice of Public Hearing at which public hearing the City Council is required to consider all protests against the proposed assessment; and (e) the City is prohibited fi-om imposing a proposed assessment if there is a majority protest which would exist if, upon the conclusion of the public hearing, the assessment ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the proposed assessment with each assessment ballot weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of die affected property. 4. The City has conditioned the approval of certain land use entitlements for the Property with a requirement that the Property be aimexed to SLLD No. 2 (the "Condition of Approval re Annexation") in order that the Property may be annually assessed to finance (a) that portion of the annual costs of the maintenance of the SLLD No. 2 Improvements which represents the special benefit received by the Property from the SLLD No. 2 Improvements and (b) the costs and expenses of administering SLLD No. 2 which are allocable to the Property based upon the Property's proportionate share of the costs of the maintenance of the SLLD No. 2 Improvements. 5. The total amount of the assessment chargeable within SLLD No. 2 including tiie Property, the duration of the payments, the reason for the proposed assessment and the basis upon which the amount of the proposed assessment was calculated is set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 6.
