yr WILLDAN <br />general public would suggest that at least a portion of the cost to provide the <br />improvements is of "General Benefit". <br />It is common for developers to install new parks, open space areas and similar <br />improvements and facilities to enhance the marketability of properties within the <br />development as a condition of development. As previously noted, the parks, open <br />space areas and recreational facilities to be serviced and maintained in this District <br />were installed as a condition of developing the properties within Dos Vientos <br />Ranch Specific Plan No. 8 and Specific Plan No. 9 and are serviced and <br />maintained specifically for the benefit of those properties and not for the benefit of <br />any surrounding properties or developments which have similar proximity to other <br />park and recreational facilities that were likely constructed in conjunction with those <br />developments. <br />The service radius criteria for the various types of facilities within Conejo <br />Recreation and Park District are listed in the Master Plan. Based on that service <br />radius criteria, the park facilities to be maintained within LIVID 94-1 have the <br />following service radii: <br />➢ Park Site A (community park) 1.50 to 2.0 miles <br />➢ Park Site B (playfield) 0.75 to 1.0 mile <br />➢ Park Site C (neighborhood park) 0.50 to 1.0 mile <br />➢ Park Site D (neighborhood park) 0.50 to 1.0 mile <br />A review and analysis of the park site locations and surrounding properties reveals <br />that all assessed properties within the District boundaries are located within 1- mile <br />or less of one or more of the park sites within the District which is consistent with <br />the half mile to one mile (0.50 to 1.0 mile) service radius criteria associated with a <br />neighborhood park. Although Park Site A is not a neighborhood park, it clearly <br />serves as a neighborhood park for those parcels within one mile. Likewise, Park <br />Site B serves as a neighborhood park for those parcels within one mile of that park <br />site. <br />Collectively, establishing a one -mile service area radii around each of the District's <br />park sites, results in roughly 2,648 acres of local service area (excluding the <br />undeveloped largely open space areas south and west of the District). Of the 2,648 <br />acres of local service area, approximately 2,036 acres or seventy-seven percent <br />(77%) is within the boundaries of the District. The remaining 612 acres lies outside <br />the District boundary (to the east of the District) and represents approximately <br />twenty-three percent (23%) of the total 2,648 acres within the identified 1 -mile local <br />service area radii. However, while the properties and developments within the 612 <br />acres outside the District boundary are in proximity to the District parks it is also <br />recognized that these same parcels actually have closer proximity to other park <br />and recreational facilities that were likely constructed in conjunction with the <br />development of those properties. Clearly these parcels outside LIVID 94-1 are <br />served more directly by those facilities and they derive similar special benefits from <br />those improvements. Therefore, even though the parcels outside the District <br />boundary may have proximity to the District park and recreational facilities these <br />2021/2022 Landscape Maintenance District No. 94-1 Page 17 of 23 <br />
