Street Lighting Assessment District
SUMMARY OF REOUEST:
40
5,z
That Council adopts the attached resolutions initiating the annual levy of street lighting
assessment, approving the Engineer's Report and setting the date for the public hearing on May
31, 2002.
BACKGROUND:
As in past years, the City contracted with MuniFinancial to develop a proposal to initiate an
annual levy of assessments for the Street Lighting Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2002/03.
Under the provisions of the "Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972," (Part 2 of Division 15 of
the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California), the three resolutions on tonight's
agenda we required steps to begin the process and must be passed in order to set the public
hearing date. In the Engineer's Report prepared by MuniFinancial are the plans and
specifications for the improvements, an estimate of the cost for the improvements, a diagram of
the assessment district and an assessment of the estimated cost of the improvements.
Upon conclusion of the public hearing, Council may adopt a resolution confirming the diagram
and assessment either as originally proposed or as modified by Council. The adoption of the
resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the
assessment.
The assessment for each parcel of property in the district is based upon the benefit derived from
street lighting. Total estimated costs for providing street lighting for 2002/03 is $263,250, which
includes utility costs of $139,000, maintenance cost (removal, repairs, and replacements) of
$10,000, administrative costs of $15,000, assessment engineer costs of $9,500, City Attorney
costs of $2,000 and a reserve fund of $87,750. At the end of June 30, 2002 estimated surplus for
the assessment district is $118,570, therefore to cover the Fiscal Year 2002/2003 expenditures
and the 50% reserve, the total revenues needed are $144,680.
Agenda Item
May 28, 2002
Street Lighting Assessment District
Revenues will be generated by the assessment of $144,680. A comparison of the last two- year's
assessments to the proposed assessment for certain parcels is summarized in the following table:
2000 -01 2001 -02 2002 -03
Zone 1 Single family homes in College
Park East & West, the Hill & Cove Areas $21.86 $21.86 $21.86
Zone 2 Single family homes in Old Town $11.26 $11.26 $11.26
Zone 3 Leisure World Condominiums $ 1.21 $ 1.21 $ 1.21
Zone 4 Surfside $ 4.15 $ 4.15 $ 4.15
Exhibit B -1 of the Engineer's Report to this report gives additional examples of assessment
amounts by land use and zone for FY 2002/03.
If the resolutions initiating the proceedings, approving the Engineer's report and setting the
public hearing are adopted, the following schedule of events must occur in order to establish the
assessments for next fiscal year.
DATE
May 28 City Council adopts resolution initiating proceedings, approving Engineer's

CITY OF SEAL BEACH
INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to the order of the City Council of the City of Seal Beach and in compliance
with the requirements of Article 4 of Chapter 1 of the "Landscaping and Lighting Act of
1972" (herein after referred to as the "1972 Act "), being Part 2 of Division 15, Sections
22500 through 22679 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California, this
Report presents the engineering analysis for Fiscal Year 2002/2003 of the district
(hereinafter referred to as the "District ") known as:
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1
CITY OF SEAL BEACH
Assessments for this District are being levied for the following:
The maintenance and servicing of local street lights in close proximity to
certain lots and parcels which provide a direct special benefit to such
lots or parcels.
2. The maintenance and servicing of arterial street lights which provide a
special benefit to all the assessable parcels within the District whether
or not such parcels are in close proximity to such lights.
The 1972 Act, in Section 22573, states 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 benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
Details of the formula being used to spread the assessments throughout this District are
found under the heading "Method of Apportionment of Assessment ".

PROPOSITION 218
In November 1996 voters of the State of California passed Proposition 218 which added
Article XIIID to the California Constitution requiring new procedures for assessment
districts. Article XIIID requires that assessments comply with stated provisions by July
1, 1997, unless an assessment district meets certain exemptions. The exemptions from
the procedural and approval requirements are set forth in Section 5 of the Article and
include the following:
"(a) Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs
or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets,
sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control."
The City of Seal Beach Street Lighting District No. 1 qualifies as an existing assessment
with the District funding items that are considered exempt under provision (a) quoted
above, specifically street and sidewalk improvements. Using the definitions provided by
the Office of the Controller for the State of California in the Guidelines Relating to Gas
Tax Expenditures published by the Division of Local Government Fiscal Affairs, street
improvements include street lighting.
It is the Assessment Engineer's understanding that the highest assessment rates used to
calculate the annual assessments in years prior to the approval of Proposition 218
established the maximum assessment rates. Therefore, so long as the assessment rates
do not exceed the maximum rates established prior to the passage of Proposition 218,
assessment balloting is not required.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act provides that assessments may be apportioned by any
formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed among all
assessable lots or parcels within the District in proportion to the estimated benefits
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. The 1972 Act also permits
the classification of various areas within the District into different zones where, by
reason of variations in the nature, location and extent of the improvements, the various
areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements. A zone shall
consist of all territory that will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the
improvements.
All lots and parcels within the District boundaries, with the exception of utility operating
rights -of -way and public property, will be assessed.
The proposed method of apportionment of assessment for Local Street Lighting
Benefits and Arterial Street Lighting Benefits is described below:
LOCAL STREET LIGHTING BENEFITS
(FOR STREET LIGHTS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO LOTS AND PARCELS)
Maintenance and servicing of certain street lights along the streets and highways in
close proximity to certain lots or parcels provides a special benefit to such lots or
parcels for the following reasons:
X Such street lights, by virtue of the illumination they provide, improve security of
such lots or parcels.
X Such street lights improve ingress to and egress from such lots or parcels by
illuminating access after sunset, and by so improving ingress and egress,
further improve the security of such lots or parcels by improving the nighttime
visibility of such lots or parcels and the access of emergency vehicles thereto.
MuniFinancial 6
City of Seal Beach
Street Lighting District No. 1 — Fiscal Year 2002/2003
Also, in the case of commercial lots or parcels, such street lights, by improving
ingress and egress, facilitate the opening and operation of businesses used
after sunset.
The assessment formula recognizes that benefits received from street lights are based
on the following criteria:
A. Traffic Circulation
1. Improved ingress to and egress from lots or parcels within the District.
2. Improved ingress to and egress from commercial lots or parcels and a
corresponding promotion of business during nighttime hours.
B. Security
1. Increased illumination after sunset and a corresponding reduction in
vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements.
2. Increased illumination after sunset and a corresponding improvement to
the access of emergency vehicles to such lots or parcels.
3. Increased illumination after sunset and a corresponding reduction in
illegal dumping on vacant land.
C. Intensity
1. Intensity or degree of illumination provided on adjacent streets varies with
the type of street and the use of the adjacent property.
The basic unit for this formula is the single - family residence with the traffic circulation
benefits being assigned one -half unit and security and intensity benefits being assigned
one - quarter unit each, for a total of one unit. Multi- family residential, condominium and
townhouse parcels are assigned the following declining scale of fractional traffic
circulation benefit units: one -half unit per dwelling unit for the first 20, one -third unit for
MuniFinancial 7
City of Seal Beach
Street Liqhtinq District No. 1 — Fiscal Year 2002/2003
the 21st through 50th, one -fourth unit for the 51st through 100th, and one -fifth unit for
each dwelling over 100.
For multi - family residential, condominium and townhouse parcels, security and intensity
benefits are assigned '/4 -unit for each dwelling unit. However, figuring any dwelling
units over four would be set back sufficiently far from the lighted street that they
received minimal security and intensity benefit per unit, a maximum value of one unit
each for security and intensity is assigned.
Exhibit B provides examples of the direct assessment for local street lighting per parcel.
For purposes of the local lighting benefits, the lots or parcels have been divided into the
following zones:
ZONE
PARCELB/LOTS
1
All residential zoned parcels within the areas generally known as College Park
East, College Park West and The Hill. This zone also includes the
condominium parcels on Montecito Road in the vicinity of the Rossmoor Center.
2
All residential zoned parcels including those used for commercial uses as
described on Page 10 within the Old Town area between Pacific Coast Highway
and the Pacific Ocean.
3
All residential zoned parcels within the Leisure World complex west of Seal
Beach Boulevard between the San Diego Freeway and Westminster Avenue.
4
All residential zoned parcels within the Surfside community located between
Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific Ocean immediately northwest of
Anderson Avenue.
5
All nonresidential zoned, nonexempt parcels within the City.
6
All exempt parcels within the City.
LOCAL LIGHTING ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY BY ZONE
Zone 1
Under the proposed formula, all single - family residences within Zone 1 will be assessed
the same amount. Multiple - family residential and condominium parcels with an equal
number of dwelling units will be assessed equal amounts. There are certain
condominiums and apartment complexes in Zone 1 that lie on large contiguous parcels.
MuniFinancial
City of Seal Beach
Street Lighting District No. 1 — Fiscal Year 2002/2003
For these parcels, the combined parcels' total assessment is computed, and then
evenly distributed among the units on such parcels. In no case will the assessment for
a dwelling unit on a multiple - family parcel exceed that of a single - family residence. The
local benefit assessment per unit in Zone 1 is determined to be a maximum of $17.71.
Exception: Because of the distance between the nearest street lights and the
condominium units at Montecito, such parcels receive insignificant benefit from such
lights and are therefore not assessed for local street lighting benefits.
Zone 2
Under the proposed formula, all single - family residences within Zone 2 will be assessed
the same amount. Multiple - family residential and condominium parcels with an equal
number of dwelling units will be assessed equal amounts. There are certain
condominiums and apartment complexes in Zone 2 that lie on large contiguous parcels.
For these parcels, the combined parcels' total assessment is computed, and then
evenly distributed among the units on such parcels. In no case will the assessment for
a dwelling unit on a multiple - family parcel exceed that of a single - family residence. The
local benefit assessment per unit in Zone 2 is determined to be a maximum of $7.11.
There are certain parcels within Zone 2 on residential zoned lots or parcels that are
being used for nonresidential uses. These parcels were assigned comparable units on
the basis of whether they had nominal, moderate, or high intensity, traffic circulation,
and security benefits. Because the intensity of the street lights in Zone 2 is the same
regardless of how a parcel is used, the intensity benefits determined for these
nonresidential parcels are equivalent to those assigned to a single - family residential
parcel. Because of greater traffic generated by nonresidential uses, those parcels
determined to have nominal, moderate and high traffic circulation benefits were
assessed two, four, and eight times, respectively, that of an equivalent single - family
residential parcel. Because parcels with nonresidential uses generally require and
therefore benefit more from increased security due to the greater value of improvements
on such parcels, such parcels determined to have nominal, moderate, and high security
benefits were assessed two, four, and eight times, respectively, that of an equivalent
single - family residential parcel.
MuniFinancial 9
City of Seal Beach
Street Lighting District No. 1 — Fiscal Year 2002/2003
Exception: Because of the distance between the local street lights that benefit the Seal
Beach Trailer Park and the individual dwelling units within the park, the trailer park is not
assessed as a multi - family parcel. However, the Seal Beach Trailer Park has been
determined to receive some local lighting benefits which are equivalent to 3.25 units, the
benefiting parcel's unit distribution defined in Subsection C below. Single unit trailer
parcels are not assessed for local lighting benefits due to their considerable distance
from local streets.
Each of the parcels in Zone 2 being used for nonresidential use is determined to be in
one of the following categories:
A. Commercial Parking Lots, Churches - 1.75 units based on intensity (.25 units),
nominal traffic circulation (1 unit) and nominal security benefit (.50 units).
B. Professional or Office Buildings, Service Shops - 2.25 units based on intensity
(.25 units), nominal traffic circulation (1 unit) and moderate security benefit (1
unit).
C. Store with Residence - 3.25 units based on intensity (.25 units), moderate
traffic circulation (2 units) and moderate security benefit (1 unit).
D. Hotels/Motels - 6.25 units based on intensity (.25 units), high traffic circulation
(4 units) and high security benefit (2 units).
Zones 3 and 4
Because the local street lighting system within these zones is privately owned and not
the responsibility of the City of Seal Beach, the parcels in Zones 3 and 4 are not
assessed for local street lighting.
Zone 5
Since the size of the parcels within Zone 5 (zoned nonresidential) varies considerably, it
would not be equitable to determine that each parcel received a similar local street
lighting benefit from the maintenance and servicing of street lights in close proximity to
the lots or parcels. Therefore, the formula proposed for spreading the cost of local
MuniFinancial 10
City of Seal Beach
Street Lighting District No. I — Fiscal Year 2002/2003
street lighting assessments in Zone 5 is based on the front footage of each lot or parcel
on a street that provides local street lighting for that parcel. The local benefit
assessment per unit in Zone 5 is determined to be a maximum of $.15 per front foot.
Exceptions: Any nonresidential zoned parcel within the Leisure World complex and the
Surfside Community are not assigned any local street lighting benefits because the local
street lighting system within these zones is privately owned and not the responsibility of
the City of Seal Beach.
Zone 6
Zone 6 is the District classification for all non- assessed parcels in the District, including
all federal, state, county and city owned parcels, which are exempt from the
assessment, as well as any privately owned parcels that are determined to receive no
benefit from the District improvements.
ARTERIAL STREET LIGHTING BENEFIT (FOR STREET LIGHTS oN ARTERIAL STREETS)
Zones 1 through 4
The maintenance and servicing of street lights on arterial streets and highways,
previously named in this report and within the District, provides a special benefit which
is received by each and every assessable lot or parcel within the District, tending to
enhance their value for the following reasons. Each of the streets listed is a major
arterial street which improves access to all lots or parcels throughout the District. Such
street lights improve ingress to and egress from such lots or parcels by illuminating
access after sunset. Arterial street lights create a city-wide lighting system that provides
traffic circulation benefits. While local street lighting benefits properties adjacent to the
lighting, arterial street lighting benefits traffic circulation to and from all parcels city-wide.
Therefore, the formula proposed for spreading the arterial street lighting benefit is based
on the traffic circulation benefits for each lot or parcel with the basic unit being the
single - family residence assigned a traffic circulation unit of 1. The arterial benefit
assessment per unit is determined to be a maximum of $4.15.
Typically, fewer people live on multi - family parcels on a per unit basis than on a single -
family parcel. Therefore, the benefit received by multi - family parcels, per unit, from
MuniFinancial 11
City of Seal Beach
Street Lighting District No 1 — Fiscal Year 2002/2003
arterial street lights is less than single - family parcels. Multi- family residential,
condominium and townhouse parcels are assigned the following declining scale of
fractional benefit units, similar to those assigned above for local benefit street lighting:
one -half unit per dwelling for the first 20, one -third unit per dwelling for the 21st through
50th, one - quarter unit per dwelling for the 51st through 100th, and one -fifth unit for each
dwelling over 100.
There are certain condominiums and apartment complexes that lie on large contiguous
parcels. For these parcels, the combined parcel's total assessment is computed, and
then evenly distributed among the units on such parcels.
Within the Leisure World Community there are both residential cooperative and
condominiums. Because Leisure World exists as a community, each condominium and
each cooperative benefits the same as any other condominium and cooperative,
respectively, in Leisure World. The benefit units are computed as if all the
condominiums lie on one "parcel" and all the cooperative units lie on one "parcel," then
the computed benefit units are evenly distributed to the individual condominium or
cooperative units. There are also certain private recreational facilities within Leisure
World (Zone 3), such as libraries and clubhouses, which are accessible only by the
Leisure World residents. Such facilities are assumed to receive no arterial benefit and
therefore are not assessed.
Zone 5
Nonresidential parcels were assigned comparable units on the basis of whether they
had nominal, moderate or high traffic circulation benefits and whether their operations
were primarily daytime, nighttime or a combination. Furthermore, the nonresidential
parcels were compared to the single - family residential parcels to determine the traffic
circulation benefit for the nominal, moderate, and high classifications of nonresidential
uses.
Each nonresidential parcel was determined to be in one of the following categories:
Nominal - Daytime Use Only (ND)
• Office Buildings
• Professional Buildings
• Auto Repair Shops
MuniFinancial 12
City of Seal Beach
Street Lighting District No 1 — Fiscal Year 2002/2003
• Churches
• Nurseries
• Commercial and Industrial Parking Lots
Moderate - Daytime Use Only (MD)

• Savings and Loans
• Stores
High - Daytime Use Only (HD)
Restaurants (not open in evenings)

Moderate - Day and Night Use (MN)
• Service Stations
• Recreational Vehicle Facilities
• Clubs and Lodge Halls
• Markets
• Theaters
• Motels
• Shopping Centers including Parking Lots
High - Day and Night Use (HN)
• Restaurants (open in evenings)
• Hospitals
• Convalescent Homes
• Amusement Facilities
MuniFinancial 13
City of Seal Beach
Street Lighting District No. 1 — Fiscal Year 2002/2003
Daytime Use Only
Those nonresidential land uses classified as Nominal- Daytime Use Only (ND) were only
found to benefit from the lighting improvements slightly less than the single - family
parcels because the majority of the traffic circulation occurs during daylight hours.
Therefore, ND traffic circulation benefits for nonresidential lots or parcels are two- thirds
that of a single - family residential lot or parcel. Moderate and High - Daytime Use Only
(MD and HD, respectively) traffic circulation land uses benefit more from the lighting
improvements because of their increased opportunity to use nighttime lighting and are
assigned one and one -third that of a single - family residential lot or parcel and two times
that of a single - family residential lot or parcel, respectively. As such, those lots or
parcels determined to have nominal, moderate or high traffic circulation benefits as well
as daytime operation (ND, MD, HD) were assessed two- thirds, one and one- third, and
two times, respectively, that of an equivalent single - family residential lot or parcel.
Day and Night Use
Because of the substantially greater benefit of uses which have nighttime traffic
circulation, nonresidential lots or parcels categorized as Nominal -Day and Night Use
(NN) are two times that of a single - family residential or lot parcel, Moderate -Day and
Night Use (MN) traffic circulation benefits are four times that of a single - family
residential lot or parcel and High -Day and Night Use (HN) nighttime traffic circulation
benefits are six times that of a single - family residential lot or parcel. Therefore, those
parcels determined to have nominal, moderate or high traffic circulation benefits as well
as nighttime operation (NN, MN, HN) were assessed two, four, and six times,
respectively, that of an equivalent single - family residential lot or parcel.
Since the sizes of the nonresidential lots or parcels vary considerably, it was determined
that the area of each nonresidential lot or parcel would also be used in determining the
benefit received by each parcel. For this purpose, the size of an average single - family
lot or parcel was determined to be 5,000 square feet.
MuniFinancial 14
City of Seal Beach
Street Lighting District No 1 — Fiscal Year 2002/2003
Consequently, the benefit received by each nonresidential lot or parcel is computed as
follows:
Nominal - Daytime Use Only (ND)
0.67 units per 5,000 ft' of lot or parcel area
Moderate - Daytime Use Only (MD)
1.33 units per 5,000 ft' of lot or parcel area
High - Daytime Use Only (HD)
2.00 units per 5,000 ft' of lot or parcel area
Nominal - Day and Night Use (NN)
2.00 units per 5,000 it' of lot or parcel area
Moderate - Day and Night Use (MN)
4.00 units per 5,000 ft' of lot or parcel area
High - Day and Night Use (HN)
6.00 units per 5,000 ft' of lot or parcel area
