State law requires that <br />special assessments be levied according to the benefit each parcel receives. As the <br />assessments are reflective of benefits received, all properties in the CBD are required to <br />participate in the CBD and no properties outside of the CBD shall receive services. There are <br />no exemptions to the assessment. <br />The Management Plan includes information regarding the methodology used to allocate the <br />cost of the various services by linear frontage, lot size or building square footage and the <br />reasoning behind this recommended methodology. Estimates of the cost to provide the <br />desired services were used to determine the amount to be assessed. The assessment <br />methodology is currently under review by an Assessment Engineer to ensure that it reflects <br />the benefit of the services to be received. <br />Annual assessment for Benefit Zone 1 properties is the sum of the following: <br />$4.115098 per linear foot of street frontage <br />$0.0725835 per square foot of lot size <br />$0.045985 per square foot of building size <br />Annual assessment for Benefit Zone 2 properties is the sum of the following: <br />$2.57962 per linear foot of street frontage <br />$0.0478005 per square foot of lot size <br />$0.045985 per square foot of building size <br />Annual assessment for a Residential Condo, regardless of benefit zone, is: <br />$0.20 per square foot of residential unit building size <br />Based on the Alameda County Tax Assessors property information , the above assessments <br />are projected to generate $384,680 in revenue in FY 2013-14. The Management Plan <br />identifies how revenue will be allocated to the various services by percentage. These <br />percentage allocations and the FY 2013-14 budget dollars by service category are <br />summarized below. <br />Downtown San Leandro CBD FY 2013-14 Budget <br />Sidewalk Operations, Beautification and Order 61%$234,175 <br />District Identify, Streetscape Improvements 13%50,000 <br />Administration and Corporate Operations 16%60,750 <br />Residential Condo Enhanced Services 6%24,368 <br />Contingency 4%15,387 <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 3/26/2013
