Landscape Maintenance District No. 1995-1, Moller Ranch Assessment Background The Moller Ranch Landscape Maintenance District No. 1995-1 ("District 1995-1" or "Maintenance District") was formed in 1995 as a Condition of Approval for the Moller Ranch development, to fund certain landscape improvements within the Moller Ranch subdivision.

The subdivision also contains a City owned parcel that has a water tank, and a small parking lot parcel owned by the Moller Ranch Owner's Association and managed by the City. The total number of parcels served by District 1995-1 at present time is 101 parcels.
