*"WILLDAN V, METHOD OFASSESSMENT Part of the conditions of development, the developers of the Dos Vientos Ranch were charged to develop and dedicate improvements and open space areas within the District boundaries as development occurred. These conditions were imposed to ensure that growth and development within the area included specific improvements to enhance the quality environment and life-style for residents and property owners. It was determined that the availability and proper long-term maintenance of recreational improvements sustain and enhance the quality of life within these developments. To address the new park and open space improvements associated with the Dos Vientos Ranch area, the City of Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Recreation and Park District conditioned the developers to form an assessment district to provide a funding mechanism to support the ongoing maintenance of the Park sites to be maintained by the Conejo Recreation and Park District and the maintenance for the open space areas provided by the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA). The Conejo Recreation and Park District has followed an acres -per -population ratio method to establish standards for required park and recreational facilities within its jurisdiction. Utilizing these standards and giving consideration to service radius, access, socioeconomic factors, natural and man-made geographic factors, existing facilities and available resources, the agency developed a Master Site Location Plan for the overall Conejo Recreation and Park District. This master plan designated five basic community zones and a total of nineteen neighborhood service areas. The proposed development of Dos Vientos Ranch area as specific Plan No.'s 8 and 9 facilitated an additional sixth community zone broken into neighborhood areas twenty and twenty-one. The boundary of LIVID 94-1 coincides with the sixth community zone boundary. A copy of the Master Site Location Map is on file in the offices of the Conejo Recreation and Park District. The Conejo Recreation and Park District Master Plan has established specific criteria for determining the service radius for various parks based on the facility size and location throughout the agency's jurisdiction. These service radii provide clear guidelines to assist in determining which properties receive special benefits from various park improvements. The determination of special benefit for this District is based on both the service radius and the fact that the park sites within this District have limited vehicular and pedestrian access from outside properties. Ultimately, the improvements associated with this District have been identified as necessary, required and/or desired for the orderly development of the properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with the proposed development plans and would otherwise not be required or necessary. A. ASSESSMENT LAW The improvements provided by this District and for which properties are assessed have been identified as essential recreational objectives for the development of properties within Dos Vientos Ranch. The District was formed to provide an overall park, open space, and recreational enhancement program specifically as part of 2021/2022 Landscape Maintenance District No. 94-1 Page 13 of 23
