Page 29 Zone B includes residential parcels located across Bernal Avenue and at greater distance from the LMD maintenance areas. While Zone B parcels receive the lot creation benefit and some proximity, views,and landscaping benefit,they receive a substantially reduced wildland fire risk reduction benefit due to their greater distance from the maintained fuel transition zones. The CAL FIRE hazard mapping confirms that most Zone B parcels lie outside the Moderate Fire Hazard Severity Zone, with only a small number of parcels at the northeastern edge of Zone B falling within the designated zone. Even for those parcels, the direct protective effect of the District's fuel management activities is materially reduced at that distance compared to Zone A. The relative benefit scores for each zone, weighted by the benefit factors established in this Report,are shown in Table 6 below.

As established in the Zones of Benefit section, the Assessment District consists of two zones reflecting materially different levels of special benefit. Zone A parcels receive a normalized benefit score of 100% and Zone B parcels receive a normalized benefit score of 44%, based on the weighted benefit factor analysis in Table 6.This zone differential is the primary basis for the difference in assessment rates between Zone A and Zone B. Within each zone, assessments are further apportioned on the basis of Single-Family Equivalents (SFE). The SFE methodology is commonly used to distribute assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing a fair and appropriate basis for apportionment. For the purposes of this Engineer's Report, all properties are designated an SFE value representing each property's relative benefit in relation to a single-family home on one parcel. The benchmark property is the single- family detached dwelling,which equals one Single-Family Equivalent or one SFE.
