total approximately 92 acres. The Lido Neighborhood Specific Plan placed emphasis on developing public pedestrian access and resident visual access to waterways and public open spaces. Public access via trails will be provided pursuant to a system of pedestrian and bike trails on public land that will run along the lagoons surrounding the Lido Neighborhood and along the PG&E easement on the west side of the western lagoon next to the subdivision known as California Bayside at the Cove. In addition, a bay trail with public observation decks is planned along the bay slough waterway facing Bird Island. These public improvements, together with landscaping in public in Areas 1 through 13 are designed to enhance the quality of life for property owners and their families residing within the District. As such, residential parcels within the District receive a special benefit from these public amenities. However, since pedestrian access is also provided to the public-at-large, there is also a component of general benefit. Because the District is remotely located at the end of the Redwood Shores peninsula with no public parking other than approximately 16 public parking spaces located within the District and curbside parking available on the public portions of Redwood Shores Parkway, Shearwater Parkway and Canvasback Way, enjoyment of these public amenities by the public-at-large is expected to be limited mostly to nearby residential subdivisions within easy walking distance and bicyclists, most of which are expected to reside on the Redwood Shores peninsula. Only parcels used or to be used for either residential or commerial applications are deemed to receive special benefit. Parcels dedicated or to be dedicated to the City will be used as roads, publicly maintained waterways or landscaped areas to be maintained by the City at the expense of the District, and as such do not receive special benefit from the proposed public improvements, the maintenance of which shall be paid for at the expense of the City and the District. Parcels dedicated to the City for any use other than residenital or commercial applications shall be classified as Exempt Parcels and shall be exempt from the levy of assessments. Commercial Parcels are assigned a special benefit of five (5) percent of the total District Maximum Annual Maintenance Cost, which is the proportion that their acreage bears to the total of residential acreage, commercial acreage and public acreage requiring maintenance, rounded upwards to the nearest tenth decimal. General benefit, which is the benefit derived from the public-at-large's enjoyment of the public improvements maintained by the District, is estimated at twelve (12) percent of the total District Maximum Annual Maintenance Cost, which is approximately one-half the proportion that all public areas requiring maintenance bear to the total of residential acreage, commercial acreage and public acreage requiring maintenance, rounded upwards to the nearest tenth decimal. The general benefit is allocated to the City and shall not be assessed against either Residential or Commercial Parcels. Residential Parcels are assigned a special benefit equal to the balance,
