CITY COUNCIL REGULA MEETING AGENDA PACKET _Revised_ 6-2-26

City of Pleasanton Landscape Maintenance District No. 1993-1, Windsor Engineer’s Report Page 32 parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g., proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivaƟve advantage resulƟng from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g., general enhancement of the district's property values).” The court therefore acknowledged the appropriateness of a District-wide assessment so long as each parcel receives a direct advantage from the assessment-funded improvement or service. As demonstrated in this Report, each parcel in the Maintenance District receives a direct advantage and special benefit from the Improvements. In the Maintenance District, the advantage that each parcel receives from the Improvements is direct, and the boundaries are narrowly drawn to include only parcels that benefit from the Assessment. Therefore, the even spread of assessment throughout the narrowly drawn district is indeed consistent with the SVTA decision. The benefits from the Improvements within the Maintenance District do not vary further based on proximity of the parcels to the Improvements because the increased benefits of greater proximity to the Improvements are generally offset by a parallel increase in negaƟve factors such as higher levels of traffic, noise, etc. that comes with increased proximity. Consequently, since all parcels in the Maintenance District have good access and proximity to the Improvements and the benefits to relaƟvely closer proximity are offset by other factors, addiƟonal proximity is not considered to be a factor in determining benefit within the Maintenance District. Therefore, zones of benefit are not jusƟfied or needed within the Maintenance District Method of Assessment As previously discussed, the Assessments provide comprehensive Improvements that clearly confers direct and special benefits to properƟes in the Maintenance District.
