City of Pleasanton <br />Ponderosa‐Del Prado Landscape Maintenance District 2026‐1 <br />Engineer’s Report <br />Page 17 <br /> <br />Discussion of Benefit <br />In summary, the Assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property. <br />This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. With reference <br />to the requirements for assessments, Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act <br />of 1972 states: <br />"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be <br />apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount <br />among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be <br />received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements." <br /> <br />Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed <br />that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property and that the value of <br />the special benefits must exceed the cost of the assessment: <br />"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost <br />of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." <br /> <br />The following benefit categories summarize the types of special benefits to residential <br />and other lots and parcels resulting from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of <br />landscaping, irrigation systems, and fencing funded by the Assessment. These types of <br />special benefits are summarized as follows: <br />1. Access to the Arroyo de la Laguna trail and Centennial Trail corridor <br />maintained within or adjacent to the Assessment District. <br />2. Views of improved and maintained landscaping within the Assessment <br />District. <br />3. Security and sound reduction provided by the maintenance of the landscape <br />adjacent to the soundwalls along Interstate 680 within the Assessment <br />District. <br />4. Creation of individual lots for residential use that, in absence of the <br />Assessments, would not have been created. <br />In this case, the SVTA decision provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special <br />benefits to properties from similar improvements in three distinct areas: <br /> Proximity <br /> Expanded or improved access <br />Page 71 of 248
