Finding 6. From Section 4(b): "All assessments must be supported by a detailed engineer's report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California ". This report serves as the "detailed engineer's report" to support the benefit property assessments proposed to be levied within the Downtown San Leandro CBD. FindinE 7. From Section 4(c): "The amount of the proposed assessment for each parcel shall be calculated (along with) the total amount thereof chargeable to the entire district, the duration of such payments, the reason for such assessment and the basis upon which the amount of the proposed assessment was calculated." The individual and total parcel assessments attributable to special property benefits are listed on Attachment 1 to this Report. The District and resultant assessment payments will continue for fifteen (15) years and may be renewed again at that time. The reasons for the proposed assessments are outlined in Finding 2 above as well as in the Management District Plan. The calculation basis of the proposed assessment is attributed in part to street frontage, building area, parcel size and location of each parcel. For residential condominiums, the assessment rate relates to the building pad area of each unit. Assessment Formula Methodoloi!y Step 1. Select "Basic Benefit Unit(s)" CBD assessment formulas typically are based on street frontage, parcel size, building size and /or location, all of which relate to the amount of special benefit conferred on a particular parcel and the proportionate assessment to be paid. The formula may base assessments on a single factor or a combination of these factors. Based on the specific needs and corresponding nature of the program activities to be funded by the Downtown San Leandro CBD, it is the opinion of this Assessment Engineer that the assessment factors on which to base assessment rates relate directly to the proportionate amount of street frontage, building area and land area. For future residential condominiums, the assessment rate relates to the building pad area of each unit. For commercial uses, the interactive application of street frontage, building area and land area quantities are a proven method of fairly and equitably spreading special benefit costs to these primary beneficiaries of CBD funded services, programs and improvements. Each of these factors directly relates to the degree of benefit each parcel will receive from CBD funded activities. WE
