LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS
FORMATION COSTS 89-252 803 08/01/89 1
BACKGROUND
The City of Redding requires the formation of landscape-mainte-
nance districts in conjunction with subdivisions which 'are locat-
ed on the City's arterial street system. These developments are
required to install landscaping within the public right-of-way,
including all associated improvements such as irrigation systems
and automatic valve controls. The maintenance districts are
thereafter responsible for the yearly maintenance of the landscap-
ing. The issue is: Should administrative costs attributable to
the formation of landscape-maintenance districts be paid by the
developer.
PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this policy to clearly delineate whether
subdivision developers will be required to pay an administrative
fee upon making application for the formation of a landscape-main-
tenance district.
POLICY
It shall be the policy of the City of Redding that the develop-
er(s) of subdivisions, where landscape-maintenance districts are
required to be formed as a condition of subdivision approval,
shall pay an administrative fee equal to the total direct and
indirect costs directly attributable to formation of the dis-
trict. Administrative costs associated with the ongoing opera-
tion of the district shall be included in the yearly assessment
on each lot in the district.
PROCEDURE
Upon requesting the formation of an landscape-maintenance dis-
trict, the developer shall be required to pay a fee commensurate
with the administrative costs of establishing said district. The
fee shall be reviewed and adjusted as necessary, but not more
than once annually, to reflect actual direct and indirect costs
to the City.
