Maintenance District formed in 2015 to maintain the extra ordinary landscape in the medians, parkways
and Paseo walkways in Santiago Hills. Your districts were formed using the Landscape and Lighting
Act of 1972, Street and Highways Code, commencing with Section 22500.
The City Council will hold a Public Hearing on Tuesday, June 8, 2021, at 6:00 p.m., or as soon

consider public testimony regarding the maintenance of the landscape improvements and the proposed
assessment.
The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of maintaining the landscaping including labor, materials,
water, electricity, administration and incidental expenses can be spread among the benefiting parcels
annually. The LMD 86-2 assessment rates are proposed to remain the same as last fiscal year and
not to be increased. The current annual assessment rates for LMD 86-2 are: Single Family Lots -
$369.44, Multi Family Lots - $221.66, Commercial Lots - $4063.84 per acre. The LMD 15-1
assessment rates are proposed to increase by 1.5% based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for
the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area. The annual assessment rates for LMD 15-1 Single Family
Detached Equivalent will be $248.16, which includes the 1.5% CPI increase.
