City of Pleasanton <br />LighƟng & Landscape Maintenance District No. 1995-1, <br />Moller Ranch <br />Engineer’s Report <br /> <br />Page 34 <br /> <br />In conclusion, the Assessment Engineer determined that the appropriate method <br />of assessment apporƟonment should be based on the type of property, the <br />relaƟve size of the property, property locaƟon, its relaƟve populaƟon and its <br />proximity to the landscaping and open space faciliƟes. This method is further <br />described below. <br />Residential Properties <br />The Moller Ranch development is a residenƟal single family development project <br />consisƟng of a total of 101 parcels, 99 single family home parcels, and 2 public <br />owned parcels used as a water tank and a parking area respecƟvely. As such, each <br />residenƟal property receives similar benefit from the proposed Improvements. <br />Therefore, the Engineer has determined that the appropriate method of <br />apporƟonment of the benefits derived by all parcels is on a dwelling unit or single <br />family residence basis. All improved properƟes, or properƟes proposed for <br />development, are assigned one Single Family Equivalent unit or 1 SFE factor equal <br />to the number of dwelling units developed or planned for the property. <br />Other Properties <br />ArƟcle XIIID sƟpulates that publicly owned properƟes must be assessed unless <br />there is clear and convincing evidence that those properƟes receive no special <br />benefit from the Assessment. <br />All properƟes that are specially benefited are assessed. Other publicly owned <br />property that is used for purposes similar to private residenƟal, commercial, <br />industrial or insƟtuƟonal uses is benefited and assessed at the same rate as such <br />privately owned property. <br />Miscellaneous, small and other parcels such as roads, right-of-way parcels, and <br />common areas typically do not generate significant numbers of employees, <br />residents, customers or guests, who would have access to or use the <br />Improvements. These miscellaneous parcels therefore receive no benefit from the <br />Improvements and are assessed an SFE benefit factor of 0 SFEs. <br />Page 281 of 617
