LLMD No. 8 - Kolob Estates was formed in 1989 to provide landscaping and lighting maintenance services to the residential community south of Waterman Boulevard and east of Oliver Road.

The revenue generated by the district was projected to be insufficient to support services by the end of fiscal year 2022-2023 due to increased costs overtime and the district's maximum annual assessment rate of $400 per parcel, which does not include an automatic annual consumer price index (CPI) adjustment.

In 2023, the city conducted a balloting procedure in accordance with Article XIII D of the California Constitution, also known as Proposition 218, to propose to property owners the formation of a new maintenance district with higher assessments that would adequately fund services.

A majority protest was filed by the Kolob Estates property owners on June 7, 2023, and the new maintenance district was not formed.

LLMD No. 8 remains active to provide landscaping and lighting maintenance services to the community.
