Wo The 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than a„ according to assessed value. Section 22573 provides that: "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 benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements." The 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 "benefit assessment" rather than a "special tax." Excepted from the assessment would be the areas of all publicly owned property in use in the performance of a public function. Railroad and utility rights-of-way are also exempt from assessment. BENEFIT ANALYSIS • Street Lighting and Traffic Signals - The proper functioning of street lighting and traffic signals is imperative for the welfare and safety of the public and property throughout the City. Proper operation, maintenance and servicing of the street lighting system benefits properties within the District by providing proper illumination for ingress and egress and safe travelling at night. Properties within the District also benefit from the proper functioning of the District's traffic signal system. Proper operation of the street light and traffic signal systems is imperative to public convenience, orderly traffic flow, enhanced congestion management and safety. Improved security, fuel conservation, protection of property from crime and vandalism, and reduction of traffic accidents, are special and direct benefits to all aw MAWP51DATAIREPORTS UMM5WHER aw M=�;Y� Berryman & Nenigar xrr MW City of Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District 1995-1996 - April 19, 1995 Page 8 properties within the City; lighting benefits are directly related to public safety and property protection and therefore increase property values. • Parks and Recreational Improvements - Property values in a community are increased when public park and recreational improvements are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean and maintained. Facilities that are unsafe or destroyed by the elements or vandalism decrease surrounding property values. Park facilities are less likely to attract crime if they are well lit, clean and maintained. Clean and safe parks increase public safety, help reduce crime and Nov enhance the overall quality of life and desirability of an area. Conversely, property values decrease when park and recreational improvements are in disrepair, old, unsafe, unclean, and aw unusable. The United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, in a publication of June 1984, concluded that, "An investment in parks and recreation helps reduce pollution and noise, makes communities more livable, and increases property value." OW Additionally, the National Recreation and Park Association, in June 1985, stated, "The .r recreation value is realized as a rise in the value of land and other property in or near the recreation area, and is of public interest to the taxpayers, who have a stake in a maximum of total assessed values." The City of Hermosa Beach's parks and recreational improvements are accessible to all parcels in the District; and therefore, all properties in the District benefit from the maintenance and servicing of these facilities. • Median and Parkway Landscaping and Tree Trimming - Trees, landscaping, hardscaping imp and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, provide beautification, shade and enhancement of the desirability of the surroundings, and therefore increase property value. am The City maintains trees and miscellaneous shrubbery and landscaping throughout the City. aw The trees, shrubbery and landscaping are located within the public right-of-way and throughout the public parks. These trees, shrubbery and landscaping provide an aesthetically pleasing environment, shade, beautification, and, according to some authorities, air purification and sound attenuation. These positive attributes increase the value of all properties throughout the City. M: %W PS 1 DATA%REPORTS%LLMD9596.

Benefits which are received by all parcels in the City are considered to be City-wide Benefits, and the associated costs of these benefits are spread equally, based on Equivalent Dwelling Units, to all parcels within the District. All properties in the District benefit from the operation, maintenance and servicing of the street lighting, traffic signals, parks and recreational improvements, medians and parkway landscaping and tree trimming. MW The degree of benefit to each parcel of land varies depending on its land use and the size of the parcel. If assessments were spread on an individual parcel basis, not considering land use or parcel size, it would not be an equitable method of spread because a single family parcel would Im pay the same assessment as a 50 -unit apartment parcel or a large commercial parcel. The method for spreading the improvement costs, which must be based on special and direct benefit, is on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) basis. The EDU method uses the residential dwelling unit as the basic unit of assessment. The residential dwelling unit equals one EDU. • Residential parcels are assessed based on the number of dwelling units on each parcel. am • Non-residential parcels have been converted into EDU's, based on engineering judgement taking into consideration the size of the parcel and the amount of frontage along the street. Every parcel is assessed a minimum of one (1) EDU. "' There are a total of 10,836 EDU's within the Assessment District. ASSESSMENT RATE CALCULATION Based on a budget of $594,073, as shown in Part B of this report, the preliminary assessment No rate for FY 1995-96 is calculated as follows: $5949073 : 10,836 EDU's = $54.82 per EDU MAWP51 DATAIREPORTS%LLM N5%.HER Berryman & Henigar s.
