No assessment will be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the <br />proportional special benefits conferred upon that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable <br />and these benefits must be separated from any general benefits. A general benefit is defined as <br />a benefit to properties in the surrounding community or a benefit to the public in general <br />resulting from improvement, activity or service to be provided by the assessment levied. For <br />example, CBD property owners will derive benefit from sidewalk cleaning and security services, <br />however the general public will also benefit from the delivery of these special benefit services. <br />The special benefits funded by this new Downtown San Leandro CBD will be over and above <br />existing City of San Leandro baseline service levels in the commercially zoned parcels and will <br />serve to increase tenancies, increase commerce, increase economic viability and fund a system <br />of cleanliness and beautification over and above current service levels. <br />All benefits derived from the assessment outlined in the Management District Plan fund only <br />services directly and specifically benefiting the property owners in the CBD. These special <br />benefits will include maintenance and security, increased commerce and all the other goals and <br />objectives of the Downtown San Leandro CBD's purpose. <br />Properties are assessed as defined on the County Assessor's most current parcel maps. <br />The preceding methodology is applied to the database of parcels within the District. The <br />process for compiling the property database includes the following steps: <br />• A report was submitted to the City Manager's office using the data obtained from <br />the Alameda County Tax Assessors office. <br />• A list of properties to be included within the Downtown San Leandro CBD is provided <br />in Section 7. <br />The basis of funding shall be through special benefit assessments levied on real property <br />throughout the District. The rates of assessment vary by the proportionate amount of special <br />benefit received by each parcel. A detailed explanation of the special benefit assessment <br />rationale is made in the attached Engineer's Report. <br />The Calculation of Assessment for each parcel in the Downtown San Leandro CBD is as follows: <br />24 <br />
