INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW Administered by Visit Newport Beach, Inc. (VNB), the Newport Beach Tourism Business Improvement District (NBTBID) is a business improvement district formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 codified in Streets and Highways Code Section 36600et seq. (the "1994 Act ") which helps fund marketing and sales promotion efforts for Newport Beach tourism businesses. NBTBID was formed by the City of Newport Beach ( "City') in 2009 with an initial five (5) year term. Due to its success in marketing the City's hotels and resorts businesses, additional lodging business(es) wish to join the NBTBID. Therefore, the NBTBID is requesting that the City amend the Management District Plan dated March 2, 2009. Location: The City of Newport Beach. Services: Marketing and sales promotions to increase tourism and to market Newport Beach as a tourist, meeting and event destination. These services are designed to benefit the hotels and resorts that will be assessed within the City and other hotel and resort business that may join NBTBID in the future. Budget: The anticipated NBTBID budget for year one of its five (5) year operation anticipated a base of approximately $1.7 million. Cost: Annual assessment rates are 2.0% of transient (stays less than 30 days) room rental revenue on the seven (7) hotels and resorts within the City limits of Newport Beach, and any hotel and resort business that may join NBTBID in the future. The NBTBID shall include the Fairmont Newport Beach, the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, the Newport Beach Marriott Bayview, the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa, the Radisson Newport Beach, the Balboa Bay Club and Resort, the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and Marina, and any other hotel and resort business that may join NBTBID in the future. Any transient occupancy that is exempt from the payment of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax shall not be assessed. Additional hotels and resorts that wish to pay the assessment and receive NBTBID services in the future may do so upon the approval of the VNB Board, support from a majority of the then existing membership of the NBTBID, and through the execution of an agreement with the City approved by City Council after a noticed public hearing consistent with Sections 36623 and 36637 of the 1994 Act, as the same may be amended from time to time. Formation: NBTBID formation requires submittal of petitions from hotels and resorts representing more than 50% of the total annual assessment followed by a City Council hearing and an opportunity for a written protest. The assessed lodging business owners received notice of the public meeting and the public hearing by mail. In the absence of a majority written protest, the NBTBID was formed in 2009. Duration: The NBTBID assessment was implemented beginning May 1, 2009, and will be in effect for five (5) years. After five years, the petition and City Council hearing process must be repeated for the NBTBID to be renewed. Also, once per year there is a thirty (30) day period in which owners paying more than 50% of the assessment may protest and terminate the district. Newport Beach Tourism BID Management District Plan Page 3 II. WHY TOURISM BID FOR NEWPORT BEACH? There are several reasons why the NBTBID was established. The most compelling reasons are as follows: L The Need to Increase Occupancy The formation of the NBTBID is a proactive effort to provide supplemental funding for tourism promotion and marketing beyond that provided by the City of Newport Beach. The funding ensures VNB has adequate financing for the investment required to increase occupancy in the lodging industry and be competitive in the conference segment of the tourism market. The investment covers an expanded marketing and promotional budget needed to reach this market segment. 2. An Opportunity for Increasing City Tax Revenues As occupancy rates increase, so too will the City's TOT revenue. With stable funding for VNB, annual occupancy rates should increase significantly as the new marketing and sales promotion programs are implemented. Greater occupancy will also produce an increase in sales tax revenues from tourist spending. This represents a substantial return to the City. The formation of the NBTBID, in partnership with VNB, creates a stable funding source tied directly to tourism promotion. 3. The Ability to Grow the Economy without Substantial Development VNB expects to achieve the above levels of revenue growth without a proportionate increase in the "footprint" of the tourism industry infrastructure. It is anticipated that little or no development should be required to raise average occupancy rates. Any development required to raise occupancy rates even more should be relatively minor in scope compared to the existing facilities. III. WHAT IS A TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT? Tourism business improvement districts ( "TBID") utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market -based promotion of tourism districts. T BIDs allow lodging and tourism - related business owners to organize their efforts to increase tourism. Tourism - related business owners within the district pay assessments and those funds are used to reimburse the cost of providing services that the businesses desire and that benefit the assessed hotels and resorts with the district. Pursuant to Section 36613 of the 1994 Act, NBTBID activities may include, but are not limited to: • Promotion of public events which benefit businesses in the District • Furnishing of music in any public place within the District • Promotion of tourism within the District • Marketing and economic development, including retail retention and recruitment • Providing security, sanitation, graffiti removal, street and sidewalk cleaning, and other municipal services supplemental to those normally provided by the City • Activities which benefit businesses located in the District Newport Beach Tourism BID Management District Plan Page 4 In California, TBIDs are formed pursuant to the 1994 Law. This law allows for the creation of a special benefit assessment district to raise funds within a specific geographic area to support specified activities. There are many benefits to Tourism BIDS: Collected assessments cannot be diverted for other government programs; Tourism BIDS are customized to fit the needs of each tourism district; i They allow for a wide range of services, including those listed above; Tourism BIDs are designed and created by those who will pay the assessment; The statue requires petition support from hotels and resorts paying over 50% of the annual proposed assessments; i They provide a stable funding source for tourism promotion. The 1994 Act, as amended, is provided in Appendix 1 of this document. IV. NEWPORT BEACH TOURISM BID BOUNDARY The NBTBID includes seven (7) hotels and resorts available for public occupancy within the boundaries of the City of Newport Beach, and other hotels and resorts that may join NBTBID in the future. The hotels and resorts to be included at present are the Fairmont Newport Beach, the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, the Newport Beach Marriott Bayview, the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa, the Radisson Newport Beach, the Balboa Bay Club and Resort, and the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and Marina. The boundary currently includes seven (7) hotels and resorts. Please see the map included as Appendix 2. A larger map is available on request by calling the VNB at (949) 719 -6100. A list of properties included in the NBTBID, including addresses and assessor parcel numbers, is included as Appendix 3. V. SERVICE PLAN AND BUDGET A. Assessment The NBTBID includes hotels and resorts of 100 hotel rooms or more, existing or in the future, available for public occupancy within the boundaries of the City of Newport Beach.' The hotels and resorts presently included within the NBTBID are the Fairmont Newport Beach, the Hyatt Regency Newport ' The term "hotel room" shall mean any structure, or any portion of any structure or the air space within any structure, which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes for periods of thirty (30) days or less including a space, campsite or similar facility which is occupied, or intended or designed for occupancy, by a recreational vehicle, camper, van, trailer, motor home or similar vehicle used, or intended for use as a dwelling, lodging or for sleeping purposes. The term hotel room includes any inn, residential dwelling unit, motel, group residential or lodging house, bed and breakfast inn, single room occupancy hotel, hostel, rental unit, public or private residential club, mobile home, time -share project, house trailer at a fixed location, or other structure or portion of a structure. Newport Beach Tourism BID Management District Plan Page 5 Beach, the Newport Beach Marriott Bayview, the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel &c Spa, the Radisson Newport Beach, the Balboa Bay Club and Resort, and the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and Marina. Any transient occupancy that is exempt from the payment of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax shall not be assessed. Additional hotel and resort facilities that wish to pay the assessment and receive NBTBID services in the future may do so with the approval of the VNB Board, support from a majority of the then existing membership of the NBTBID, and through the execution of an agreement with the City and approved by the City Council after a noticed public hearing consistent with Sections 36623 of the 1994 Act, as the same may be amended from time to time. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, shall be separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. B. Determination of Special Benefit State law provides that the expenses of the district shall be apportioned in proportion to the benefit received by assessed businesses. A special benefit is defined as a particular and district benefit over and above general benefits conferred on the public at large. Conversely, a general benefit is a benefit to businesses in the surrounding community or a benefit to the public in general resulting from the improvement, activity or service to be provided by the assessment levied. Many general benefits to the public at large are conveyed by municipal services, such as fire protection, police services and public transit services. These services are targeted to serve the public at large and do not confer special benefits on particular businesses. The services identified in this Management Plan are designed to provide targeted services to the assessed hotels and resorts. These services are tailored not to serve the general public, but rather to serve the specific hotels and resorts within the District, e.g., the proposed activities are specifically targeted to increase room nights for assessed hotels and resorts within the boundaries of the District, and are narrowly tailored. For example, only the assessed hotels and resorts will receive sales leads from the sales efforts paid for with TBID monies. In addition, listing on websites and collateral materials paid for with NBTBID monies will only include the seven (7) assessed hotels and resorts that pay the assessment and any hotel or resort business that may join NBTBID in the future.. Asa result, the activities paid for from assessment revenue are hotels and resorts services creating special benefit to those businesses. In addition, these activities are not for the benefit of the general public and do not provide general benefit as defined above. All general benefits (if any) to the surrounding community and general public are intangible and unquantifrable. It is appropriate that these special business - related benefits be funded through businesses assessments. C. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments The NBTBID assessment will be implemented beginning May 1, 2009, and will continue for five (5) years. The City of Newport Beach will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each of the seven (7) hotels and resorts located in the boundaries of the NBTBID. Assessments shall be collected monthly and the City shall take all Newport Beach Tourism BID Management District Plan Page 6 reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each lodging business. The City of Newport Beach forwards the assessments to VNB which will have the responsibility to manage the NBTBID programs as provided in the Management District Plan. The City retains an up to %4 of 1% of the total collected assessment, whether or not actually collected, to reimburse the City for administrative costs associated with the establishment of the NBTBID. D. Penalties and Interest Any NBTBID member failing to remit the assessment to the City within thirty (30) days of the time required shall pay an initial mandatory penalty of ten percent (10 %) of the amount of the late assessment in addition to the assessment. Any NBTBID member failing to remit the assessment and the initial penalty within sixty (60) days shall be liable for a second mandatory penalty of an additional ten percent (10 %). In addition to the penalties imposed, any NBTBID member who fails to remit the assessment shall pay mandatory interest on the amount of assessment that is due and owing at the rate of one and one -half percent (1.5 %) per month for each month or portion of a month that the assessment remains unpaid exclusive of penalties. Should a NBTBID member's assessment become twelve (12) months in arrears, it shall be sent to collections. Penalties, interest and the cost of collection shall become part of the assessment required to be paid. Late payments, penalties, and interest shall be deposited and used in the same manner as the basic assessment. The cost of collection, if any, shall be used to pay the collections agency. E. Service Plan Budget and Programs to be Provided: Service Plan Budget Summary — Calendar Years 2009 -2014 The summary of the calendar year 2009 (year one) service plan budget for the NBTBID is provided below. The total five (5) year improvement and service plan budget is projected to be approximately $1.7 million annually, or $8.5 million through 2014. The assessments collected will fund the direct sales efforts for group sales to generate room nights at the seven (7) participating hotels and resorts that may join NBTBID in the future, including: • Promotion of public events which benefit businesses in the District • Furnishing of music in any public place within the District • Promotion of tourism within the District • Marketing and economic development, including retail retention and recruitment • Providing security, sanitation, graffiti removal, street and sidewalk cleaning, and other municipal services supplemental to those normally provided by the City • Activities which benefit businesses located in the District Additionally, the City shall retain up to' /4 of 1% of the total collected assessment, whether or not actually collected, to reimburse the City for administrative costs associated with the establishment of the NBTBID.
