15 <br />with Interstate 680 to the east, Arroyo de la Laguna to the west, and Bernal <br />Avenue to the south, it was concluded that there are no proximate parcels that <br />could be identified as receiving any special benefit from the Maintenance District <br />Improvements. <br />If any parcels were proximate to the Windsor development, and if it was identified <br />that those parcels receive some special benefit from the improvements, those <br />benefits would likely be improved views, proximity and/or access, but would not <br />receive extension of outdoor areas nor the special benefit of parcel creation. <br />Since those adjacent properties would only receive a 3 of the 5 major special <br />benefits, a 60% factor would be applied. <br />Total General Benefit to Properties Outside of the District = 0.0% <br />Assumptions <br />0 parcels outside and adjacent to the District <br />90 parcels in the Maintenance District <br />Calculation <br />General Benefit to Property outside the Improvement District = <br />(0 / (0 + 90)) * 60% = 0.0 % <br />Benefit to Property Inside the District that is Indirect and Derivative = 0.0% <br />The "indirect and derivative" benefit to property within the Maintenance District is <br />particularly difficult to calculate. A solid argument can be presented that all <br />benefit within the Maintenance District is special because the Improvements are <br />clearly "over and above" and "particular and distinct" when compared with the <br />unique proximity, access and views of the Improvements enjoyed by benefiting <br />properties in the Maintenance District. <br />Nevertheless, the SVTA decision indicates that there may be general benefit <br />"conferred on real property located in the district." A measure of the general <br />benefits to property within the Maintenance District is the percentage of land area <br />within the Maintenance District that is publicly owned, open to the public, and <br />used for regional purposes such as major roads, rail lines, hospitals, and other <br />regional facilities because such properties, while physically within the <br />Maintenance District, are used for regional purposes and could provide indirect <br />benefits to the public at large. In this case, essentially 0% of the land area is <br />used for such regional purposes. <br />Benefit to the Public at Large = 10% <br />The general benefit to the public at large can be estimated by the proportionate <br />amount of time that the Maintenance District's public landscaped areas and <br />facilities are used and enjoyed by individuals who are not residents, employees, <br />customers, or property owners in the Assessment Area.
