' To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Martin Alvarez, Senior Management Analyst Date: July 11, 2002 Request: Approval of Resolutions to: 1. Declare the results of the property owner protest proceedings for the Consolidated Palm Desert Landscape and Lighting District. 2. Approve or amend the Final Engineer's Report for the Consolidated Palm Desert Landscaping and Lighting District for fiscal year 2002/2003. 3. Order the levy and collection of assessments within the Consolidated Palm Desert Landscaping and Lighting District, fiscal year 2002/2003. BACKGROUND: The City of Palm Desert levies and collects annual assessment fees from 26 different landscape and lighting districts. Fees are collected to cover costs to maintain perimeter landscaping and street lighting. In March of 2002, staff held public meetings involving all districts that would see an increase in their annual assessment. Residents in attendance were given an estimate of the proposed increase along with reasons for the proposed modifications. The new annual levy for each district is outlined in the attached Engineer's Report for fiscal year 2002/2003. The increases to each of the districts are a result of the following conditions: • Over the years there have been increases to landscape maintenance costs. • Other than Cost of Living increases, there has been no increase in fees over the last five years. This has required reserves from each district and the City General Fund to cover the deficiencies. • A number of the districts have fees that are lower than the actual cost to maintain. • The original landscape maintenance contract was bid by the contractor as one unit and did not separate actual cost for each district. As a result, the shortages were averaged over all the assessment districts. As required by Proposition 218, in order to increase fees on any assessment,the City must mail a protest ballot to each property owner and hold a public hearing. Ballots have been sent out to all affected property owners and the public hearing is scheduled for July 11, 2002. After the public hearing, ballots will be tabulated for each of the districts individually. The districts that received ballots are outlined below. Zone 3 Vineyards Zone 7 Waring Court Zone 4 Parkview Estates Zone 8 Palm Gate Zone 5 Cook and Country Club (3 Subdivisions) Zone 9 The Grove Zone 6 Hovley Lane West (13 Subdivisions) Zone 11 Portola Place Zone 12 K & B at Palm Desert Attached is a copy of the Engineer's Report, identifying each district's new annual assessment cost to maintain their subdivision's landscaping, utilities and administration costs. If a majority of the property owners within each district vote in favor of the increased fee, the new annual levy will take affect during fiscal year 2002/2003: If the property owners vote to deny the new levies, the City will face the following options: • A decrease in the level of service to reflect each district's current levy. This option most likely will result in deterioration of the existing landscape due to minimal maintenance. • Continue to subsidize the cost of maintenance and administration of the districts from the City's General Fund at an estimated $140,000. If the City is faced with one of the two above options, staff recommends that the level of service be reduced to match the current levy collected. This would not include any additional contribution from the City General Fund. RECOMMENDATION: Development Services staff recommends the City Council adopt the resolutions.

Introduction The City of Palm Desert ("City") annually levies and collects special assessments in order to provide and maintain the improvements within the Consolidated Palm Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District ("District"). The District was formed in 1993, through the consolidation of several individual landscaping and lighting maintenance districts within the City. The original Maintenance Districts and all subsequent annexations are identified as separate benefit zones and/or Sub-zones (Zones) within the Consolidated District. The District was formed and annually levied pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (hereafter referred to as the"Act"). This Engineer's Annual Levy Report (hereafter referred to as the "Report") describes the District, any proposed changes to the District and the assessments for Fiscal year 2002/03. The proposed assessments are based on the historical and estimated cost to maintain the improvements that provide a direct and special benefit to properties within the District and Zones. The various improvements within the District and the costs of those improvements are identified and budgeted separately, including all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves. Each parcel within a Zone and/or sub-zone is assessed proportionately for only those improvements provided in that Zone or sub-zone from which the parcel receives special benefit. The word "parcel," for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Number by the Riverside County Assessor's Office. The Riverside County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific Fund Numbers, to identify on the tax roll, properties assessed for special district benefit assessments. At a noticed Public Hearing, the City Council will consider all public comments and written protests presented. Upon conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council will tabulate property owner protest ballots received (for any proposed new or increased assessments) to determine whether majority protest exists, and by resolution confirm the results of any such protest ballot tabulations. If majority protest exists for a proposed new or increased assessment, the assessment may not be imposed. If no majority protest exists, the City Council may adopt the proposed assessment and levy any amount less than or equal to the assessment approved. In either case, the City Council will direct any necessary modifications to the Report and approve the Report as submitted or amended. Following approval of the Report, the City Council will by resolution, order the improvements to be made, any annexations of territory, and confirm the levy and collection of assessments pursuant to the Act. The assessment rates and method of apportionment described in this Report as approved or modified by the City Council defines the assessments to be applied to each parcel within the District for fiscal year 2002/03. The MuniFinancial Page 1 Consolidated T Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 assessments as approved will be submitted to the Riverside County Auditor/Controller to be included on the property tax roll for each parcel for the fiscal year. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved by the City Council. B. Compliance with the Current Legislation The District and all Zones and Sub-zones therein have been formed pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code. Pursuant to the Act, the City Council annually conducts a public hearing to accept property owner and public comments and testimony, to review the Engineer's Report and approve the annual assessments to be levied on the County tax roll for the fiscal year. All assessments approved by the City Council shall be prepared in accordance with the Act and in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitutional Article XIIID (Proposition 218). In compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the Constitution Article XIIID, in fiscal year 2002/2003 the City shall initiate and conduct property owner protest ballot proceedings for a proposed assessment increase in 9 of the 12 existing Landscaping and T.ighting District Zones. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing on June 27, 2002, all property owner ballots returned shall be opened and tabulated to determine if majority protest exists. Upon conclusion of the ballot tabulation, the City Clerk or their designee will summarize the results of the tabulation of all ballots returned and the City Council will approve a resolution confirming said results. The nine Zones and subsequent Sub-zones that are being balloted in fiscal year 2002/2003 for an assessment increase including an inflationary adjustment are identified as: Zone #3 — Vineyards Zone #4 — Parkview Estates Zone #5 — Cook and Country Club (all existing Sub-zones) Zone #6 — Hovley Lane (all existing Sub-zones within Hovley Lane) Zone #7 — Waring Court Zone #8 — Palm Gate Zone #9 — The Grove Zone #11 — Portola Place Zone #14 — K&B at Palm Desert If majority protest does not exist, the proposed assessment increases as described in this Report are considered approved by the property owners, and the maximum assessment rate and inflationary adjustment so described may be imposed. MuniFinancial Page 2 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 If majority protest exists, for any Zone or Sub-zone therein, the proposed new or increased assessment may not be imposed for that Zone or Sub-zone and only the existing previously approved maximum assessment may be levied. In conjunction with this Report, the City has also initiated and conducted separate property owner protest balloting proceedings in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the Constitution Article XIIID for the imposition of new assessments for three new territories proposed for annexation to the District in fiscal year 2002/2003. At the conclusion of this Public Hearing, (scheduled for May 9, 2002,) all property owner ballots returned shall be tabulated to determine if majority protest exists. Upon conclusion of this ballot tabulation, the City Clerk or their designee will summarize the results of the tabulation of all ballots returned and the City Council will approve a resolution confirming said results. The new annexations to the Districts that are being balloted in fiscal year 2002/2003 for the imposition of new assessments,including an inflationary adjustment are identified as: Zone #6—Sub zone Diamondback If majority protest does not exist, the territories will be annexed to the District and the proposed assessments described in this Report shall be imposed. If majority protest exists, that particular territory will not be annexed to the District and this Report shall be modified to not include that territory. All new or increased assessments approved by the property owner balloting will establish a new maximum assessment rate for the respective Zones and/or Sub-zones and includes an assessment range formula that allows for annual inflationary increases to the maximum assessment rate. The initial maximum assessment rate so approved shall be adjusted annually by the assessment range formula to establish a new adjusted maximum assessment rate each fiscal year. However, the proposed assessment each year shall be based on the estimated budget for that fiscal year and the proposed assessment rate may be less than or equal to this maximum assessment rate without additional balloting. Any proposed assessment rate that exceeds the maximum assessment rate shall require additional property owner ballot proceedings for the incremental assessment increase. The actual amount being balloted to each parcel within the District represents the proportional special benefits the parcel receives based on the Land Use of the property and the proposed initial maximum assessment rate. All qualified ballots returned shall be tabulated based on their proportional assessment obligation to determine if majority protest exists. The method of apportioning special benefits, the proposed maximum assessment rates for fiscal year 2002/2003 and the assessment range formula are discussed in more detail in the Method of Assessment Section of this Report.

The annual assessment for each Zone and Sub-zone therein is based on the historical and estimated cost to maintain the improvements that provide a special benefit to properties associated with the improvements. The improvements and the costs of those improvements are identified and budgeted separately, including all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves. The various improvements provided and assessed within the District can be categorized as three (3) improvement types. 1. Local street lighting (residential street lighting associated with the properties within the Zone and specific subdivisions). 2. Local landscaping improvements including parkways, perimeters, entryways, local medians, and internal landscaped amenities. 3. Special Zone services including tree trimming, graffiti and weed abatement and landscape maintenance of flood control areas (retention and detention basins). Only improvements permitted under provisions of the Act that provide a special and direct benefit to the parcels is included in the annual assessment. The costs associated with the improvements are equitably spread among all benefiting parcels in proportion to their special benefits. Only parcels that receive direct and special benefits from the improvements are assessed. All landscape improvements maintained by the District and associated with each Zone or Sub-zone were either installed as a condition of development or were installed for the direct benefit of the properties assessed. The landscape improvements associated with each Zone MuniFinancial Page 5 Consolidated Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 may include open space areas, medians, parkways, slopes, retention and detention basin areas, and other easements and public right-of-ways that provide special benefits to the parcels. These improvements may include: turf, ground cover, shrubs and trees, irrigation systems, lighting, water features, entry monuments, drainage systems and associated appurtenances. Similar to landscape improvements, street lighting improvements funded through District assessments were installed for the benefit of properties within each of the Zones and Sub-zones and the assessments provide for the maintenance, operation and energy costs related to their specific street light improvements. All services provided include all necessary service(s), operations, administration, and maintenance required to keep the improvements in a healthy,vigorous, and satisfactory condition.

SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS AND SPECIAL BENEFIT ZONES The boundaries of each Zone, the location of improvements and special benefit received by the properties and property owners within each Zone are described in this section of the Report. The allocation of special benefit and general benefit from the various improvements provided within the District are summarized in the Method of Apportionment section of this Report and are identified specifically in the budget for each Zone. A description of the District improvements for each Zone are provided in the following: Zone #2 (Canyon Cove): Zone #2 includes Tracts 11636-1, 2, 3, & 4 and Tract 23485, generally located South of Deep Canyon Tennis Club, North of Haystack Road, West of Marrakesh Country Club, and East of Highway 74. The streets within the Zone include Ambrosia Street, Sweetbrush Lane, Deer Grass Drive, Lotus Court, Calliandra Street,Aber Street, and Alamo Drive. These parcels benefit from the improvements and maintenance of street lighting encompassing all streets within the Zone and the landscaped parkway along the East side of Highway 74 and the landscaped areas on the North side of Haystack Road, adjacent to the above mentioned tracts and installed as part of these residential tracts. All interior local street lighting has been identified and allocated as 100% special benefit with no general benefit allocation. Similar to other Zones, the parkway landscaping along Highway 74 has been identified as 100% special benefit to the parcels within the Zone. It has been determined that the landscaped median on Haystack Road (although installed as part of the development) provides a special benefit to properties within Canyon Cove, but also provides a general benefit to nearby properties. The proportionate general benefit of this improvement has been identified and eliminated from the Zone assessment. Although there is a general benefit component, the majority of the median landscaping (83%) is a flood control channel and was required for development of the homes within Canyon Cove. Therefore, pursuant to the State Constitution Article XIIID Section 5a (assessments used to fund flood control and drainage systems) the majority of the costs and any related assessment for this landscaped area could be considered exempt. However, in recognition of the general benefit this improvement provides and the previous assessments applied to properties within the Zone, it was determined that the City would fund a large portion of the costs associated with this landscaped median area. Refer to the budget section of this Report for details on the allocation of benefit and related assessments. : Zone #3 (Vineyards):0 ( y ) Zone #3 consists of all parcels in Tracts 12181-1 and 12181-2 on the West side of Portola Avenue. The streets within the Zone include Martini Court, Heitz Court, Mondavi Court, MuniFinancial Page 8 Consolidated] Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 Callaway Court, Stony Hill Court, Masson Street, Krug Avenue, Sebastian Way, and San Pasqual Avenue/Rutledge Way. These parcels receive special benefits from the operation and maintenance of all street lighting improvements within the Zone boundaries and the landscaped area along the West side of Portola Avenue, from the northern boundary to the southern boundary of the two tracts. Both the street lighting and landscape improvements identified for this Zone were installed as part of the residential tract development and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvements clearly provide special benefits to properties within the Zone. It has further been determined that these improvements were installed and are maintained solely for the benefit of properties within the Zone and the improvements provide no measurable benefit to properties outside the Zone. Any benefit conveyed to other properties or to the public at large (general benefit) is incidental. Therefore, both the interior tract street lighting and the parkway (perimeter) landscaping costs have been identified and apportioned 100% as a special benefit to all parcels within the Zone. Zone #4 (Parkview Estates): Zone #4 consists of all parcels in Tract 8237, South of Magnesia Falls Drive, North of Fred Waring Drive,West of Deep Canyon Road, and East of Portola Avenue. These parcels receive special benefits from the improvements and maintenance of street lighting along Primrose Drive, Desert Star Boulevard, Vanda Circle, Palmilla Circle, Myrsine Avenue, Gazania Place, Rutledge Avenue, Buttonwood Drive, Silktree Lane, Santolina Drive, Balsam Lane, and Erin Street. The improvements were installed as part of the residential tract development and are considered a direct and special benefit to the properties within the development (i.e., Zone). The ongoing operation and maintenance of interior residential street lighting provides no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Zone or to the public at large. To the extent that some streetlights associated with the Zone are located on the perimeter of the development and provides direct illumination to parcels outside the Zone, a portion of the maintenance costs has been identified as a general benefit. This Zone has twenty interior streetlights and five perimeter streetlights resulting in an allocation of the Zone costs as 90% special benefit and 10% general benefit. Zone #5 (Cook and Country Club): Zone #5 currently consists of three (3) residential subdivisions identified as Sub-zones. These three Sub-zones are known and identified the Desert Mirage (Tract 25639), Sandcastles (Tract 21338-1), and Primrose 2 (Tract 25436). Each of these Sub-zones has specific local improvements maintained bythe District that were installed as part of the P P residential tract development and are outlined below. MuniFinancial Page 9 Consolidated] Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 Desert Mirage Sandcastles Primrose 2 _ Tract street lighting Tract street lighting Tract street lighting Parkway Landscaping Parkway Landscaping Detention Basin Landscaping Entrance Landscaping These three subdivisions were originally part of a larger Zone known as Cook and Country Club that were assessed for median landscaping in the area. These three Sub-zones were previously assessed for both their local (tract specific) improvements and their proportionate share of the median landscaping. In fiscal year 1997/1998 it was determined that the median landscaping in the Cook and Country Club area was largely a general benefit and this assessment was eliminated. However, it was further determined that the parcels within these three (3) Sub-zones receive special benefit from tract specific improvements maintained by the District, and each parcel within the respective Sub-zones should continue to be assessed proportionately for the cost of services associated with those local improvements. Upon review of the specific street lighting improvements associated with each of these Sub- zones, all street lighting facilities have been identified as interior tract streetlights. These street lights provide little or no direct illumination to parcels outside the Sub-zones and therefore the cost of maintaining these improvements are allocated as 100% special benefit with no general benefit component. Similar to other Zones within the District the ongoing operation and maintenance of the parkway and interior landscape improvements associated with the Desert Mirage and Primrose 2 subdivisions provide no measurable general benefit to other properties outside the Sub-zones or to the public at large. Therefore, the local landscaping improvements and the corresponding assessments have been identified entirely as a special benefit to parcels within these Sub-zones. Although all local landscape improvements within the Desert Mirage and Primrose 2 subdivisions have been identified as a special benefit to properties within these Sub-zones, a portion of the landscape maintenance costs for Desert Mirage is specifically for landscape maintenance of the tract's detention basin. Pursuant to the State Constitution Article XIIID Section 5a the existing assessment associated with this detention basin could be identified as an exempt assessment. However, since the detention basin and the landscaping associated with it were installed and constructed specifically and only for this residential development, these improvements are clearly a special benefit to parcels within this Sub-zone and the related assessment complies with the substantive requirements of the State Constitution. MuniFinancial Page 10 Consolidated] Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 Zone #6 (Hovley Lane): Parcels within this Zone are located generally East of Monterey Avenue and West of Portola Avenue and includes parcels and tracts along Hovley Lane West. Zone 6 includes the following subdivisions and Sub-zones: • Monterey Meadows (Tracts 21791 and 22741) • The Glen (Tract 25217) • Hovley Estates (Tract 24591) • Sonata 1 (Tract 23982) • Sonata II (Tracts 24254-1, 2, 3) • Hovley Collection (Tract 24603) • La Paloma 1 (Tract 24773-1) • La Paloma 2 (Tract 24773) • La Paloma 3 (Tract 29045) • Sandpiper Court (Tract 27370) • Hovley Court West (Tract 29585) • Sandpiper West (Tract 29579) • Diamondback Road (Tract 29893) The parcels within each of the thirteen (13) Sub-zones of Zone 6 (Hovley Lane) receive benefit from various improvements that were installed as part of the separate residential tract developments and are specific to each tract and subdivision. The assessment for each Sub- zone funds and provides for the various parkway landscaping improvements adjacent to each tract along Hovley Lane as well as specific in-tract improvements. The in-tract improvements may include street lighting; dry well and retention basin landscape maintenance; and landscaping of additional parkway areas. The overall improvements within Zone 6 include street lighting on Clover Lane,Meadow Lane, Hovley Lane West,Centennial Circle, Posada Court, Via Fonda, Sonata Court,Avenida Arcadia, Avenida Solana, Sandpiper Court, Avenida Rosario, Sandpiper Court West Hovley Court, and Diamondback Road; landscaped parkways along Hovley Lane West, Monterey Avenue, Portola Avenue and landscaped retention basins located within Hovley Estates, Hovley Collections, La Paloma 1, La Paloma 2, Sandpiper Court, and Sandpiper Court West. Upon review of the specific street lighting improvements associated with each of these Sub- zones, all street lighting facilities have been identified as tract specific streetlights. To the extent that some streetlights associated with the individual Sub-zones are located on the perimeter of the development and provide direct illumination to parcels outside the MuniFinancial Page 11 Consolidated] Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 subdivision, a portion of the maintenance costs could be identified as a general benefit component. However, all street lights within each of the Sub-zones (except for The Glen which has no street lights) have been identified as interior street lighting and provide little or no direct illumination to parcels outside the individual Sub-zones or the Zone as a whole. Therefore, the cost of maintaining the street light improvements is allocated as 100% special benefit to properties within each Sub-zone. Similarly, the parkway and interior landscape improvements associated with each Sub-zone were installed as part of the individual residential developments and the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Zone or to the public at large. Therefore, the specific local landscaping improvements and the corresponding assessments have been identified entirely as a special benefit to parcels within the separate Sub-zones. Zone #7 (Waring Court): Zone #7 consists of Tract 25304, North of Fred Waring Drive and East of Phyllis Jackson Lane. These parcels receive special benefit from the improvements and maintenance of landscaped parkways along Fred Waring Drive and Phyllis Jackson Lane adjacent to the tract. The improvements were installed as part of the residential tract development and it has been determined that the ongoing operation and maintenance of the landscape improvements provide no measurable general benefit to other properties outside the Zone or to the public at large. Therefore, all local landscaping improvements associated with this Zone and the corresponding assessments have been identified as 100% special benefit to parcels within Zone #7. Zone #8 (Palm Gate): Zone #8 consists of all parcels in Tract 24287 located East of Deep Canyon Road, and North of Fred Waring Drive, on Coral Bells Circle, Daylily Circle, and Moss Rose Drive. These parcels receive benefit from the improvements and maintenance of local street lighting at the entrances to the development at the corners of Deep Canyon Road and Coral Bells Circle, Daylily Circle, and Moss Rose Drive. These parcels also receive special benefit from the improvements and maintenance of the landscaped parkways adjacent to the tract on Deep Canyon Road. Both the street lighting and landscape improvements identified for this Zone were installed as part of the residential tract development and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvements clearly provide special benefits to properties within the Zone. It has further been determined that these improvements were installed and are maintained solely for the benefit of properties within the Zone and the improvements provide no measurable MuniFinancial Page 12 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 benefit to properties outside the Zone. Any benefit conveyed to other properties or to the public at large (general benefit) is incidental. Therefore, both the interior tract street lighting and the parkway (perimeter) landscaping costs have been identified and apportioned 100% as a special benefit to all parcels within the Zone. Zone #9 (The Grove): Zone #9 consists of all parcels in Tract 24984 South of Goleta Avenue and West of Deep Canyon Road. These parcels receive special benefits from the improvements and maintenance of street lighting at the entrance to the development at the corner of Deep Canyon Road and Royal Canyon Lane as well as interior street lighting on Kings Canyon Lane, Indian Canyon Lane, Hazel Canyon Lane, and Royal Canyon Lane. These parcels also receive special benefits from the improvements and maintenance of parkway landscaping adjacent to the tract on Deep Canyon Road, and interior landscaping, including an entryway median, parkway landscaping and palm tree trimming within the public right-of-ways on Royal Canyon Lane that were installed as part of the residential tract development. Both the street lighting and landscape improvements identified for this Zone were installed as part of the residential tract development and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvements clearly provide special benefits to properties within the Zone. It has further been determined that these improvements were installed and are maintained solely for the benefit of properties within the Zone and the improvements provide no measurable benefit to properties outside the Zone. Any benefit conveyed to other properties or to the public at large (general benefit) is incidental. Therefore, both the tract street lighting and the landscaping costs (parkways and interior landscaping) have been identified and apportioned 100% as a special benefit to all parcels within the Zone. As part of the overall landscaping costs for this Zone, specialized maintenance (palm tree trimming) is budgeted separately as this service is not covered under the regular maintenance contract the City has with their landscape contractor. However, like all other landscape maintenance within the Zone this service benefits only the properties within the Zone and has been identified 100% special benefit. Zone #11 (Portola Place): Zone #11 is generally located South of Santa Rosa Way and East of Portola Avenue and consists of all parcels in Tract 27692. These parcels receive special benefits from the improvements and maintenance of the landscaped parkways adjacent to the tract on Portola Avenue and Santa Rosa Way, and interior tract landscaping on Olive Court installed as part of the residential tract development. MuniFinancial Page 13 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 The developer (D & F Development) was conditioned to form the necessary District Zone for the public improvements that would be installed as part of their subdivision tract 27692. In a letter to the City dated April 4, 1994, the developer (sole owner of the property) requested inclusion of the parcels within the tract into the District and to be assessed annually for the cost of maintaining the improvements. This letter constitutes a 100% landowner petition pursuant to the State Constitution (Article XIIID Section 5b), and supports a position that the existing assessment revenue is exempt. Although the existing assessments for these improvements were identified as exempt in fiscal year 1997/1998 and not subject to the procedural requirements of a protest balloting procedure, all the improvements and the related assessments for this Zone were identified as 100% special benefit. It has been determined that the ongoing operation and maintenance of the improvements provide no measurable general benefit to other properties outside the Zone or to the public at large. Therefore, these improvements, the existing assessments and the existing annual inflationary adjustment to the assessments are in compliance with the substantive requirements of the proposition. However, any future increases to the existing assessment will require compliance with the procedural requirements of the proposition. Zone #13 (Palm Desert Country Club): Zone #13 is located generally South of Hovley Lane East, North of Fred Waring Drive, West of Warner Trail, and West of Washington and is commonly referred to as the Palm Desert Country Club area. The parcels within this Zone receive special benefits from the improvements and maintenance of entryway landscaping on State Street and Washington Avenue and local residential street lighting within the Zone. In fiscal year 1999/2000, an increased assessment was approved to install additional parkway landscaping along Fred Waring Drive for the length of the development, and along Hovley Lane East from Oasis Country Club to Washington. Parcels within Zone 13 were annexed into the City in fiscal year 1994/1995. Prior to City annexation the local improvements within this Zone were assessed and collected by the County through a County Service Area (CSA). When the properties were annexed to the City, the fund balance (reserves) of the CSA was transferred to the City. In fiscal years 1994/1995 and 1995/1996, the City used the fund balance to fully cover the annual cost of providing the improvements. In fiscal year 1996/1997 the remaining fund balance was designated as reserves and the District levied its first annual assessment within the Zone. At that time the City Council determined that the remaining reserves would be used over the next several years as an annual contribution to maintain a consistent level of assessment. In fiscal year 1997/1998, in compliance with the State Constitution Article XIIID, a property owner ballot proceeding was conducted to approve the existing annual assessment. At that time, the property owners approved the proposed assessment amount plus an annual inflation adjustment. The assessment amount approved by the property owners was MuniFinancial Page 14 Consolidated F Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 established based on continued reserve fund contributions to offset the actual expenses for the Zone. In fiscal year 1999/2000, property owners within Zone 13 were re-balloted for an increased assessment primarily as a result of the new landscaping improvements to be installed. Property owners were balloted for an amount sufficient to cover the actual Zone expenses, although a portion of the existing reserves continues to be used to reduce the annual assessments. Refer to the budget for Zone 13 in Section IV of this Report for specifics regarding the proposed assessment for the current fiscal year and the maximum assessment. All street lighting and landscape improvements assessed within this Zone clearly provide special benefits to properties within the Zone. It has been determined that all the improvements were installed and are maintained solely for the benefit of properties within the Zone and the improvements provide no measurable benefit to properties outside the Zone. Any benefit conveyed to other properties or to the public at large (general benefit) is incidental. Therefore, both the tract street lighting and the landscaping costs (parkways and interior landscaping) have been identified and apportioned 100% as a special benefit to all parcels within the Zone. Zone #14 (K & B at Palm Desert): Zone #14 is located generally North of Frank Sinatra Drive, West of Portola Avenue, East of Monterey Avenue and South of Gerald Ford Drive. The Zone includes all parcels in Tracts 28258 and 28258-1. All properties within the boundaries of Zone 14 benefit from street lighting within the development located on Drexell Drive, Heatherwood Drive, Emerson Drive and Jamerson Road, and Colebridge Street, as well as landscaping installed by the developer as part of the residential tract development in the retention basin area located on Heatherwood Drive and dry well areas within the subdivisions. As a condition of development for tracts 28258 and 28258-1, the developer (Kaufman and Broad Development) was required to form the necessary District Zone for the public improvements that would be installed as part of these subdivisions. In a Petition of Consent and Waiver dated April 4, 1996, the developer (sole owner of the property) petitioned to have the parcels within the tract annexed into the District and to be assessed annually for the cost of maintaining the improvements. This petition constitutes a 100% landowner approval pursuant to the State Constitution (Article XIIID Section 5b), and supports a position that the existing assessment revenue is exempt. In addition to the exemption described above, a large portion of the Zone # 14 costs and existing assessment is for landscape maintenance of the tract's retention basin. Pursuant to the State Constitution Article XIIID Section 5a (assessments used exclusively to fund flood control and drainage systems), further supports a position that most of the existing assessment is exempt. MuniFinancial Page 15 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 Although the existing assessments for these improvements were identified as exempt in fiscal year 1997/1998 and not subject to a protest balloting procedure, all the improvements and the related assessments for this Zone were identified as 100% special benefit. It has been determined that the ongoing operation and maintenance of the improvements provide no measurable general benefit to other properties outside the Zone or to the public at large. Therefore, these improvements, the existing assessments and the existing annual inflationary adjustment to the assessments are in compliance with the substantive requirements of the proposition. However, any future increases to the existing assessment will require compliance with the procedural requirements of the proposition. Zone #15 (Canyon Crest): Zone #15 consists of Tract 25102-1 and 25102 generally located east of Deep Canyon Road, south of the Whitewater River Channel, north of Moss Rose Drive, and west of the Palm Desert High School. This Zone was established and annexed to the District on March 11, 1999pursuant to the Act and a property owner ballot proceeding. P P �' p g These parcels receive special benefit from the improvements and maintenance of landscaped parkways along the east side of Deep Canyon Road from Magnesia Falls (Whitewater River Channel), south to the end of the development (approximately 100 feet north of Buttonwood Drive); perimeter landscaping along the Whitewater River Channel (the northern boundary of the development and District) from Deep Canyon Road eastward to the western boundary of the development (approximately 675 linear feet of the total 1275 feet is landscaped). All improvements for this Zone were installed as part of the residential tract developments. It has been determined that the ongoing operation and maintenance of the landscape improvements provide no measurable general benefit to other properties outside the Zone or to the public at large. Therefore, all local landscaping improvements associated with this Zone and the corresponding assessments have been identified as 100% special benefit to parcels within Zone #15. MuniFinancial Page 16 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT A. General The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value: "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 formula used for calculatingassessments in each Zone of the District therefore reflects o e the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4 of the State Constitution (with some exceptions) a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel and provides that only special benefits are assessable and the District must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. Therefore, in compliance with the new assessment requirements only assessments that are identified as either "Exempt Assessments" or "Special Benefit Assessments" are assessed. All improvements considered a "General Benefit" have been eliminated from the District assessments. B. Benefit Analysis Each of the proposed improvements; the associated costs and assessments have been carefully reviewed by the City and have been identified and allocated based on benefit pursuant to the provisions of the State Constitution. Each improvement and the associated costs were identified as either "general benefits" (no longer assessed) or "special benefits". The improvements and the associated special benefit assessments have been further identified as Exempt assessments (Article XIIID Section 5), or assessments requiring property owner balloting. Those improvements and the related assessments identified, as Exempt are not subject to the procedural requirements of the State Constitution (property owner ballot proceedings). Although some existing assessments are considered Exempt, each improvement assessed within the District is identified as a special benefit to the parcels assessed and all related assessments are in compliance with the substantive requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 of the State Constitution. A property owner balloting has been conducted for each Zone for all special benefit assessments subject to property owner approval. The assessments shown in this Report reflects the assessment amounts approved by the property owners subject to those assessments. MuniFinancial Page 17 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 Exempt Assessments Article XIIID Section 5 of the State Constitution provides for certain existing assessments to be exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. Specifically: • Assessments used exclusively to fund sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems, or vector control are exempt from the conformity requirement until they are increased; and, • Assessments approved by all the property owners at the time the assessments were created (originally imposed pursuant to a 100% landowner petition). Within the District, several of the Zones provide for the landscape maintenance of drainage basins and retention basins. As noted previously, the costs and assessments associated with these improvements have been identified as a special benefit to parcels within the respective Zones and therefore in compliance with the substantive requirements of the State Constitution, but were exempt from the procedural requirements at their existing assessment amount. The existing assessments for Zones 11 and 14 were identified as exempt because they had been previously approved by the property owner(s). However, similar to the exempt assessments in other Zones the existing assessments and improvements for these two Zones were identified as special benefits to the parcels being assessed. Special Benefits The method of apportionment (method of assessment) is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District and Zones receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by District assessments. Specifically, the assessments associated with each Zone or sub-zone are for the maintenance of local street lighting and landscaped improvements installed as part of the original development of the parcels within the Zones. The desirability and security of properties within each Zone is enhanced by the presence of street lighting and well-maintained landscaping in close proximity to those properties. The landscape improvements provided by the District may include landscaped medians, parkways, entryways, slopes and appurtenant facilities. Street lighting improvements may include all energy costs and necessary maintenance to the facilities related thereto. The annual assessments outlined in this Report are proposed to cover the estimated costs to provide all necessary service, operation, administration, and maintenance required each year to keep these improvements in a healthy,vigorous, and satisfactory condition. The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically: • Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the Zones providing a positive representation of the area. MuniFinancial Page 18 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 • Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping. • Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, and dust and debris control. • Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well- maintained improvements associated with the properties. • Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti. • Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels within the Zones by moderating temperatures,providing oxygenation and attenuating noise. The special benefits of street lighting are the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements,and goods. Specifically: • Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection. • Increased nighttime safety on roads and highways. • Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see. • Improved ingress and egress to property. • Reduced vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements or property. • Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss. • Increased promotion of business during nighttime hours in the case of commercial properties. All of the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District/Zone, and thereby provide a special enhancement of property values. General Benefits Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 the District assessments included maintenance of landscaped medians on various arterial streets within the City. However, since most of the arterial medians within the City are maintained from the City's General Fund it was determined that the existing assessments for these improvements were largely a general benefit. Therefore in Fiscal year 1997/1998, all District assessments related to arterial medians were eliminated. Furthermore, all improvement within each of the District Zones has been carefully reviewed. Any improvement and the associated costs that are considered a general benefit to properties outside the respective Zones or to the public at large have been identified and eliminated from the annual assessments. In making this determination it should be noted that all parkway, MuniFinancial Page 19 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 perimeter landscaping and interior landscaping within the City is either funded and maintained by individual property owners or through some type of association, except those maintained and funded through a special District. The City does not usually maintain these types of improvements from General Fund Revenues and like other similar improvements within the City, the ongoing maintenance of these improvements are a special benefit to the properties associated with the improvements. C. Assessment Methodology Pursuant to the Act, the costs of the District may be apportioned by any formula or method that fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed, among all assessable parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such parcel from the improvements. The apportionment of costs used for each Zone should reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided based on each parcel's estimated special benefit. Equivalent Dwelling Units: To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The Equivalent Dwelling Unit method of assessment apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single family home equals one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). Every other land use is converted to EDU's based on an assessment formula that equates the property's specific development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to a single family home (SFR) and is considered appropriate for the District. The EDU method of apportioning benefit is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land use type, size and development. All assessed parcels within Zones 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 14, and 15 are entirely single-family residential parcels and the application of the EDU method of spread results in an equal assessment or per parcel assessment. MuniFinancial Page 20 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 The following table reflects the various property types and applicable EDUs that may be applied to properties within Zones 9 and 13. LAND USE /EQUIVALENT DWELLING UNITS (Zones 9 & 13) Land EDU Use Type Multiplier to Property Type Code Factor Calculate EDU Commercial COM 6.00 Acreage Residential and Commercial Vacant VAC 0.30 Acreage Single Family Residential SFR 1.00 Units Condominiums CON 0.80 Units Single Family Vacant Lot SFV 1.00 Lot Exempt NON 0.00 Parcels Exempt parcels include easements and landscaped areas or common areas. The benefit formula applied to parcels in each Zone is based on the preceding Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) tables. Each parcel's EDU correlates the parcel's special benefit received as compared to all other parcels in the Zone. Parcel Type EDUx Acres or Units = Parcel EDU Total Balance to Levy/Total EDU in Zone = Levy per EDU Levy per EDU x per Parcel EDU = Parcel Levy Amount B. Assessment Range Formula Any new or increase in assessments, require certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. The Brown Act defines the terms "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions. These certain conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition was later confirmed by Senate Bill 919 (the Proposition 218 implementing legislation). An assessment range formula for all District assessments has been confirmed through property owner ballot proceedings in compliance with the State Constitution Article XIIID, and shall be applied to all future assessments within the District. The following describes this assessment range formula: Wherein, if the proposed assessment (levy per unit or rate) is less than or equal to, the prior year's maximum assessment plus the adjustments described in the following, then the new MuniFinancial Page 21 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 proposed assessment is not considered an increased assessment. The purpose of establishing an assessment range formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to the assessment amounts without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures,which would be added to the District costs and assessments. If the proposed assessment is less than the maximum assessment approved in the previous fiscal year adjusted by a percentage no greater than three percent (3.0%), or the percentage increase of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), whichever is the lesser of the two, the assessment shall not be considered as an increase. Each year the City shall compute the percentage difference between the CPI on January 1, of each year and the CPI for the previous January 1, or a similar time period, as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for all urban consumers for the Los Angeles,Anaheim, and Riverside Area. This percentage difference shall then establish the range of increased assessments allowed based on CPI. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living. If CPI is less than three percent (3.0%), then the allowable adjustment to the maximum assessment for each Zone may be by CPI, or a lesser percentage. If CPI is greater than three percent (3.0%), then the allowable adjustment to the proposed assessment for each Zone may be three percent (3%), or a lesser percentage. The fact that an assessment range formula is adopted for District assessments does not require that the adjustment be applied each year, nor does it restrict the assessments to the adjustment amount. If the budget and assessments for a given Zone does not require an increase or the increase is less than the allowable adjustment then the required budget and assessment shall be applied. If the budget and assessments for a given Zone require an increase greater than the allowable adjustment then the proposed assessment is considered an increased assessment and mailed notices, as well as property owner protest ballots are required by the State Constitution to impose the assessment increase. For fiscal year 2002/03, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has established CPI at 2.7% for the January 2001 to January 2002 period. Therefore, the assessment range formula would allow a 2.7% adjustment to the assessments without mailing notices and ballots to the property owners. Therefore, the previous maximum assessment for each Zone and Sub-zone within the District has been adjusted by 2.7% to establish the current maximum assessment allowed. MuniFinancial Page 22 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 B. DISTRICT BUDGETS B. Description of Budget Items The following describes the services and costs that are funded through the District, shown in the District Budgets Section III B. DIRECT COSTS: Maintenance Costs — Includes all contracted labor, material and equipment required to properly maintain the landscaping, irrigation systems, drainage systems, fencing, and entry monuments within the Zone. All improvements within the Zone are maintained and serviced on a regular basis. The frequency and specific maintenance operations required within the Zone are determined by City staff,but are generally scheduled weekly. Landscape Water— Utility costs for water required to irrigate landscaped areas. Landscape Electric — Utility costs for electricity required to run irrigation systems and ornamental lighting for landscaped areas. Street Lighting — Utility costs for electricity required to operate streetlights, as well as the maintenance of the streetlights. Special District Services — These are services provided to a specific Zone that are outside the normal maintenance services provided by the District. These costs and services may include, but are not limited to the following: • Specialized maintenance and equipment necessary for landscaped areas and appurtenant facilities associated with dry wells, retention basins and detention basins within the Zone. • The additional cost of all contracted labor, material and equipment required trimming trees in the public right of way and landscaped areas. Maintenance Repairs — This item includes repairs that are generally unforeseen and not normally included in the yearly maintenance contract costs. This may include repair of damaged amenities due to vandalism, storms, frost, etc. Also included may be planned upgrades that provide a direct benefit to the Zone. These upgrades could include replacing plant materials and/or renovation of irrigation or lighting systems. MuniFinancial Page 23 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 ADMINISTRATION COSTS: District Administration —The cost to all particular departments and staff of the City, for providing the coordination of District services and operations, response to public concerns and education, as well as procedures associated with the levy and collection of assessments. This item also includes the costs of contracting with professionals to provide any additional administrative, legal or engineering services specific to the District including any required notices,mailings or property owner protest ballot proceedings. County Administration Fee— This is the actual cost to the Zone for the County to collect District assessments on the property tax bills. This charge is based on a flat rate per fund number. County Per Parcel Fee — This is the cost to each Zone for the County to collect assessments on the property tax bills. This charge is on a per assessment basis and is currently estimated at $0.16 per assessment. This cost is in addition to the County • Administration Fee. Note: - The administrative costs of the District are borne by each Zone in proportion to the aggregate costs of the entire District. Costs related to direct administration are identified as exempt, general and special benefits in the same proportion as the benefit finding for the Direct Service costs. All costs related to the levy of assessments such as county fees and contract administration are applied to each Zone regardless of any benefit findings (no general benefit). LEVY BREAKDOWN: Reserve Collection/(Transfer)— The Reserve Account item is provided for collection by the District of funds to operate the Zone from the time period of July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal year) through January when the County provides the City with the first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills. Negative amounts shown for these budget items are transfers from the reserve fund that are used to reduce the Balance to Levy. The Reserve Fund eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts. Other Revenue Source/General Fund Contribution — This item includes additional funds designated for the Zone that are not from District assessments. These funds are added to the Zone account to reduce assessments, and may be from either non-District or District sources including City General Fund Contributions and interest earnings. Contribution Replenishment — The Contribution Replenishment represents repayments of amounts that had been temporarily advanced to the Zone from other revenue sources or funds temporarily being loaned to the District for the current Fiscal year. The repayment is typically for the cost of capital improvement projects that the City advanced to the Zone and MuniFinancial Page 24 Consolidated I Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Engineer's Report,Fiscal Year 2002/03 is collected through district assessments over several years or may be for repayment of negative Reserves. Balance to Levy — This is the total amount to be collected for the current fiscal year through assessments (for special benefits) or from other revenue source (for general benefits). The Balance to Levy represents the sum of Total Direct and Administration Costs, the Reserve Account/Other Revenue Source, the Beginning Balance, and the Contribution Replenishment. Only those costs related to the improvements identified as special benefits are levied and collected on the tax roll. DISTRICT STATISTICS: Total Parcels — The total number of parcels within the Zone boundary. Total Parcels Levied — The total number of parcels within the Zone that are assessed. Non-assessable lots or parcels may include parcels of land principally encumbered by public right-of-ways, easements, common areas, and/or parcels within the boundaries of the Zone that currently do not benefit from the improvements due possibly to development restrictions. Total Equivalent Dwelling Unit(EDU) — Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) is a numeric value calculated for each parcel based on the parcel's land use and size. The EDU shown in the Zone budget, (Section III B), represents the sum total of all parcel EDU's that receive special benefits from the improvements. Levy per EDU— This amount represents the rate being applied to each parcel's individual EDU. The Levy per Equivalent Dwelling Unit, is the result of dividing the total Balance to Levy, by the sum of the Zone EDU's, for the fiscal year. MuniFinancial Page 25 B.

The Boundary Maps are available for inspection at the Office of Public Works. MuniFinancial Page 52 . APPENDIX B - 2002/03 COLLECTION ROLL Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the Riverside County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared. Non-assessable lots or parcels may include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-ways including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-ways; common areas; landlocked parcels, small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots, and any other property that can not be developed. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment. Properties outside the District boundary receive no direct or special benefits from the improvements provided by the District and are not assessed. Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the Riverside County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared. The land use classification for each parcel is based on the Riverside County Assessor's Roll. A listing of parcels assessed within this District, along with the proposed assessment amounts, shall be submitted to the City Clerk, under a separate cover, and by reference is made part of this Report. Approval of this Report (as submitted or as modified) confirms the method of apportionment and the maximum assessment rate to be levied against each eligible parcel and thereby constitutes the approved levy and collection of assessments for the fiscal year. The parcels and the amount of assessment to be levied shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for the fiscal year. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.
