Classifications of Lands for Assessments

The Director shall classify all land in the proposed district that may be benefitted by the project into classes, not to exceed five in number, by land use within each zone. The land receiving the most benefit shall be designated Class A and other classes shall be marked Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E, respectively, on a descending scale. The classification will be based on the extent to which each parcel or lot will be benefitted by the proposed facility. The classification of lands and the allocation of costs to be assessed to each lot or parcel will be determined by the Director subject to approval by the Commission. Classification will be based on the following:

(a)Area as determined by multiples of one thousand two hundred (1,250) square feet;

(b)Frontage on street or road;

(c)Potential use as determined by zoning or existing non-conforming use;

(d)Distance from improvement installed;

(e)Assessment differentials;

(f)Assessed land value increase; and

(g)Subtraction of public benefit costs where additional capacities are required for extension beyond district boundaries with the exception of right-of-way.
