This plan proposes percentages for groups of services with the intent that they will provide individual parcels with an understanding of the portion of the budget allocated to fund those services, while simultaneously giving the property owners and businesses an understanding of the proportional benefit they will receive. Demands for prioritization of one special benefit need over another within the some category will occur year by year. Security may be a priority one year, however enhanced sidewalk sweeping and beautification may be a priority another year. Both of these services fall within the same special benefit category. Method of Financing: The financing of the CBD is based upon the levy of special assessments upon real property that receive special benefits from the improvements and activities. See Section 4 for assessment methodology and compliance with Proposition 218. There will be four factors used in the determination of proportional benefit to the parcels in the CBD. Those four factors are: • Linear frontage, (broken down by Benefit Zones). Parcels will be charged different frontage rates based upon the frequency of services that the Benefit Zone frontage will receive from the Sidewalk Operations portion of the CBD budget; • Lot size or the footprint of the parcel; • Building square footage (excluding parking structures built within the building that predominantly serve the tenants of the building and are not open to the public); and • Residential condos that front along the public rights of way within the District. The following data represents the foundation of the assessments that will generate the revenue to fund the Downtown San Leandro CBD: (verified as of March 9, 2013); Building Square Footage: 1,087,295 sq. feet Gross Lot Size: 3,229,475 sq. feet Gross Linear Frontage: 34,276 linear feet (Benefit Zone 1 = 18,671 linear feet) (Benefit Zone 2 = 15,605 linear feet) Residential Condos: 121,844 assessable building square footage. Currently there is only one residential condo development within the Downtown San Leandro CBD boundaries total. These and future units will be assessed at the rate of$0.20 per square foot for their verifiable building square footage per parcel. Commercial condos will be treated as commercial buildings being assessed for their proportion of linear frontage, lot size and building square footage. For a more detailed explanation of residential assessments and services please see Section 4, pages 22 and 23. 5
