BACKGROUND:
At the June 9, 2020 City Council meeting, the Council approved the Engineer’s Reports
and adopted Resolution Nos. 4998, 4999, and 5000 declaring its intention to levy and
collect assessments for the Parkside Village Assessment District, Grace Lane
Assessment District, and Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1 within
Tract No. 1769, and setting a public hearing for June 23, 2020 at 6:00 P.M.
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 an annual total of $9,332.
For the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1, within Tract 1769,
the total assessment is $100 per parcel for an annual total of $3,000.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The California Streets and Highways Code Sections 22500 et seq., (California Landscape
and Lighting Act of 1972) (Act), establish 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 2020-21 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 2020-21 property tax roll. The fees collected for
each assessment district fund items such as monthly landscape maintenance, annual fire
suppression/fuel reduction, savings for anticipated drainage structure maintenance
/improvements and general landscaping cleanup projects as needed.
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 for this fiscal year.
