Page 23 In this Report, the general benefit is first identified, generously estimated, and then budgeted so that it is funded, as required by Proposition 218, by sources other than the Assessment. A formula to estimate the general benefit is listed below: Benefit to Real Benefit to Real Property Benefit to General Property Outside Inside the Assessment Benefit the Assessment + District that is Indirect and + the Public at Large District Derivative Special benefit, on the other hand, is defined in the California constitution as "a particular and distinct 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, properties have close and unique proximity, views of and access to the Improvements, and uniquely improved utility and desirability from the Improvements, and other properties 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 proportion 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, quantified calculation of general benefits, as described below, that is based in part on the use by people outside of the Maintenance District. Moreover,the proportionality of the Assessments to the special benefits conferred on each parcel, based in large part on proximity, is established as well.
