A large area bordered by Hays Street (east), West Estudillo (north) Carpentier Street (west) and Parrott Street (south), is excluded at this time since this six block area is comprised primarily of single family residents. If and when these homes convert to commercial or multi -residential usages, the CBD will seek to expand to include those parcels so they can contribute to and receive benefit from the CBD special benefit services. Budget: The total first year Downtown San Leandro CBD budget based upon assessable individual parcel owners for FY 13/14, will be $ 384,680. Please see Section 3 for a breakdown of the categories of special benefit services and their allocation of services by Benefit Zone. Benefit Zones: State law and the State constitution, Article XIIID require that special assessments be levied according to the special benefit each individual parcel receives. There will be two benefit zones in the proposed Downtown San Leandro CBD, and parcels identified in the CBD map in Benefit Zone 1 will be charged a higher linear frontage rate due to the proportional benefit they will receive.
