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

City of Pleasanton LighƟng & Landscape Maintenance District No. 1994-1, Oak Tree Farm Engineer’s Report Page 23 In this Report, the general benefit is first idenƟfied, generously esƟmated, and then budgeted so that it is funded, as required by ProposiƟon 218, by sources other than the Assessment. A formula to esƟmate the general benefit is listed below: General Benefit = Benefit to Real Property Outside the Assessment District + Benefit to Real Property Inside the Assessment District that is Indirect and DerivaƟve + Benefit to the Public at Large Special benefit, on the other hand, is defined in the California consƟtuƟon as “a parƟcular and disƟnct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.” A special benefit is conferred to a property if the property “receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g., proximity to setback landscaping).” In the Maintenance District, as noted, properƟes have close and unique proximity, views of and access to the Improvements, and uniquely improved uƟlity and desirability from the Improvements, and other properƟes and the public at large do not receive such benefits because they do not have proximity, access to or views of the Improvements. Therefore, the overwhelming proporƟon of the benefits conferred to property is special, and only minimal general benefit is conferred on property outside the Maintenance District or to the public at large. This Engineer’s Report includes a specific, quanƟfied calculaƟon of general benefits, as described below, that is based in part on the use by people outside of the Maintenance District. Moreover, the proporƟonality of the Assessments to the special benefits conferred on each parcel, based in large part on proximity, is established as well. Page 226 of 617
