Tract No. 1769, and setting a public hearing for June 27, 2017 at 6:00 P.M. for the
Parkside Village Assessment District, Grace Lane Assessment District, and
Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1, within Tract 1769.
For the Parkside Village Assessment District, the proposed annual assessments are
$446 or $734 per parcel for a total of $43,966 annually. For the Grace Lane
Assessment District, the annual assessments are $460 or $608 per parcel for a total
annual assessment of $9,332. For the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District
No. 1, within Tract 1769, the total assessment is $100 per parcel for a total annual
assessment of $3,000.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The California Streets and Highways Code Sections 22500 et seq., (California
Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972) (Act), contain the process by which local
governmental agencies form assessment districts for the purpose of financing the costs
and expenses of landscaping and lighting public areas. The final process includes a
public hearing, which affords all interested parties the opportunity to hear and be heard.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council may adopt Resolutions confirming
the assessments, which constitute the levy of the assessments for the 2017-18 fiscal
year. Upon fulfillment of these requirements, the City must submit the assessments to
the County of San Luis Obispo for inclusion on the Fiscal Year 2017-18 property tax roll.
ADVANTAGES:
Adoption of the Resolutions will be in compliance with the Act and allow the City to
move forward with the process to collect assessments.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages for the proposed actions have been identified.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt Resolutions approving the levy to collect assessments for the Parkside
Village Assessment District, Grace Lane Assessment District and Landscaping
and Lighting Assessment District No. 1, within Tract 1769, for Fiscal Year 2017-
18; or
2. Request changes or clarification to the Resolutions and approve as modified; or
3. Provide staff other direction.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.
