The Pacheco MAC works closely with the Pacheco Town Council,representing a wide cross section of the community,and has long recognized the need for area wide landscape and park improvements. However,Pacheco has not had the funding source to implement a community beautification program. Over the years,the surrounding communities of Pleasant Hill,Concord,and Martinez have grown and developed with new landscaping and frontage improvements which have further underscored the need for landscape improvements in Pacheco. Now,the Pacheco MAC and Town Council needs the support of the community in the form of a small$30.00 per single family parcel,per year,assessment to make these needed landscape and park improvements. Community members and Public Works staff have developed a projects list of potential beautification sites along the Pacheco Boulevard,Marsh Drive,Aspen Drive and Center Avenue corridors. In addition to the area wide landscape beautification projects,this assessment will provide for linear park improvements along the FIood Control channel along Aspen Drive and numerous other projects in the years to come. Unlike general taxes,this assessment can only be used in the Pacheco community allowing all the monies collected to be used to improve the quality of life and enhancing property values in the Pacheco community. The estimated assessment proposed for your parcel for Fiscal Year 1996-97 is shown in the upper right hand corner of this notice. The unit assessment rate will be $30.00 for this zone. The method for spreading these assessments is as follows: single family residential are assessed one unit assessment rate per parcel($30.00);multi-family/mobile home units are assessed a factor of one-half the single family rate($15.00); commercial/industrial parcels are assessed the single family rate per acre with a maximum assessment of three times the single family rate ($30.00-$90.00);vacant single family residential units are assessed a factor of one-half the single family rate per acre,with a maximum assessment of three time this amount($15.00-$45.00).
