Brothers Wilbur Smith and Associates 5900 Wilshire Boulevard - Suite 2950 Los Angeles, California 90036 Dear Mr. Brothers: This letter is intended to express my great dissatisfaction with the presentation by Wilbur Smith and Associates of the draft report of the Parking Study on Central Newport Beach at the Planning Commission meeting of December 1, 1977. In my estimation, the presentation was disorganized, unprepared and inept. Consequently the value of the report, which con- tains much vital and well -presented information, was completely destroyed by the poor presentation. To begin with, the slides used in the presentation had not been properly positioned in the slide tray and had not been reviewed to assure that they would be shown correctly. This small and easily corrected error caused a delay in the -pre- sentation of nearly one-half hour and caused considerable embarrassment to the Planning Commission before a group of concerned citizens. After the slides were presented it became quite clear that the balance of the presentation had not in any way been rehearsed and that neither Mr. Hurrell nor Mr. North were prepared to answer questions or to draw con- clusions from the statistical information in the report. The report itself does not clearly draw conclusions as to the problems which have been identified in the parking study. It is much better not to present a report than to do it so poorly. It is my expectation that we will get together before any future presentations to assure that nothing of this kind will happen again. You may call me at your convenience to review the problem. Very truly yours, DEVELOPMENT Planning Commission Meeting Study Session Agenda Item No. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH August 18, 1977 August 10, 1977 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Department of Community Development SUBJECT: Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan Background At the August 4, 1977 Study Session, the Planning Commission reviewed the Phase II Cannery Village/McFadden Square Report and Concept Plan I. The Planning Commission directed staff to prepare additional Concept Plans in connection with their discussion and report back at the August 18, 1977 Study Session. At the August 4, 1977 evening meeting, the Planning Commission set the Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan for public hearing at the evening meeting of September 1, 1977 to consider the adoption of a Specific Area Plan - Concept Plan and directed staff to notify all interested parties including property owners, merchants and residents of the area. The purpose of the August 18, 1977 Study Session is to allow the Planning Commission an opportunity to review and make such changes to the additional Concept Plans as they deem appropriate. Concept Plans - Discussion Attached to this report are copies of the three Concept Plans developed by staff at your direction. The attachments include a map depicting each concept, a statistical summary of the concept, the development intensities of each land use category depicted on the Concept Plan and a summary of the major features of each concept. Concept Plan I: There are no changes to this Concept Plan from that which was shown in the Phase II Report and discussed at previous Planning Commission meetings. Concept Plan II: Concept Plan II differs from "CP-I" in that lands designated on CP-I" for "Industry and Marine Related Uses" are designated on "CP-II" for "Commercial/Office" uses with a development intensity incentive for properties developing marine -related uses. This Concept Plan would allow the property owner to develop commercial/ office uses on his property to a maximum of .5 x the buildable area. An additional incentive of .5 x the buildable area would be allowed on a parcel for marine -related uses only and a maximum 1.0 x the buildable area would be established. Concept Plan III: Concept Plan III differs from the previous concepts in that -only those parcels immediately adjacent to the bay would be restricted to marine -related uses. The remainder of the land designated on "CPI" for "Industrial and Marine Related Uses" would be designated for "Commercial/Office" uses with the development incentive provision for marine -related uses described in "CPII" above.

Land Uses - Discussion At the August 4, 1977 Planning Commission Study Session, the Planning Commission asked staff to prepare a list of typical uses proposed for each land use category shown on the Concept Plan. The following list is offered as a starting point for Planning Commission discussion, realizing that the Commission may deem it appropriate to expand or delete various uses during the course of the P1-an's preparation. Additionally, during Phase III of Specific Plan preparation, when detailed ordinances will be introduced, the Planning Commission may wish to vary or modify the permitted uses, .prohibited uses, subject many uses to use permit requirements or may wish to vary permitted uses from one sector to another. Retail Sales and Service: Boat sales, marine supply sales, general reta 1 sales, auto sales and repair, animal hospitals, gasoline service stations, grocery markets, outdoor sales establishments, pet shops, public garages, theatres, used car lots, professional service establishments, appliance stores, banks, barber shops, beauty parlors, book stores, department stores, drug stores, food stores, hardware stores, nurseries, radio stores, antique stores, shoe stores, studios, tailor shops and specialty shops and other uses which, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, are of a similar nature. Office: General Offices that provide direct service to the general public such as, but not limited to, banks, savings and loan associations, doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers, architects, yacht brokers, documentation services, planners, real estate, insurance, dentists, photographic studios, and other uses which, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, are of a similar nature. Marine Related: Boat lettering, boat registration, boat rentals, boat yards, marine canvas and upholstery, marine carpentry, and wood work, charters, compass sales and service, documentation services, marine electrical and generating equipment and repairs, marine electronic sales and service, marine engine sales and service, fiber glass repairs and supplies, fishing supplies and equipment, flags, emblems, trophies, fuel docks, marine hardware equipment and supplies, holding tank installation and service, sailing/boating instruction, marine insurance, launching and hoists, boat leasing, boat maintenance and repair, mast and rigging supplies and service, nautical charts, nautical instruments, nautical decor, marine plumbing and water systems, publications - nautical, fabrication and maintenance of pulpits and rails, marine surveyors, underwater services, yacht brokers, yacht clearance, propeller sales and repair, r3 , • TO: Planning Commission - 3 and other uses which, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, are of a similar marine -oriented nature. Tourist/Commercial: Restaurants, outdoor restaurants, drive-in/ take-out restaurants, drive-in facilities, launderettes, food sales, hotels, motels, room -for -rent, theatres, specialty commercial shops, outdoor markets, beach equipment rentals, boat/charter rentals and other uses -which, in the opinion of the Planning Commission are of a similar nature. Finally, it should be noted, the Planning Commission may wish during Phase III of Specific Plan preparation to establish development, standards that vary for the same use from area to area or between land use categories within the same area.

This preservation of marine uses is consistent with the goals for the Cannery Village area established by the Land Use Element of the General Plan. 3) Concept Plan I would restrict those parcels immediately adjacent to the beach to tourist -related activities. This also would be accomplished through a specific plan zoning designation. The tourist -related zone would require sensitive consideration of the special opportunities and constraints exhibited by these beach visitor related areas. 4) Concept Plan I ("CP-I") would attempt to provide for the revitalization of the specialty commercial uses in the Cannery Village. This would be accomplished through a rezoning to provide for an economically -viable redevelopment of many of the marginal uses. This commercial/residential zoning should also provide an interesting contrast to other specialty shopping areas and alterna- tive life styles for both residential and commercial tenants. 5) Concept Plan 1 would call for investigating possible changes to the circulation system and the establishment of public off-street parking, perhaps utilizing a parking district approach. The circulation system changes might include the closing and landscaping of 21st Street between Ocean Front Avenue and Balboa Boulevard, the possible closing of 29th and 30th Streets to through -traffic between Newport Boulevard and Balboa Boulevard, and the inclusion of the end of the streets adjacent to Newport Boulevard in off-street parking lots. The provision of off-street public parking would encourage the redevelopment of many of the small lots in the Cannery Village area. 6) Concept Plan I also assumes the implementation of Circulation Element plans for the Cannery Village/McFadden Square area. This involves improving Newport Boulevard to a major roadway between 30th Street and 32nd Street and improving 32nd Street to a secondary roadway between LaFayette Avenue and Newport Boulevard. 32nd Street would be improved on the southeast side between LaFayette Avenue and Villa Way and on the City Hall side from Villa Way to Newport Boulevard.

Planning Commission Meeting Study Session Agenda Item No. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH May 9, 1977 June 2, 1977 3 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Department of Community Development SUBJECT: Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan -- "Phase II - Report" Attached is a copy of the "Phase II - Report" on the Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan. Phase II of the CV/MS Specific Area Plan program includes the development of a concept plan for the overall CV/MS planning area. Once approved by the Planning Commission, this "Phase II - Concept Plan" will establish overall land use, circulation, and development intensity policies upon which more -detailed Specific Area Plans for each of the four sub -areas will be developed. The approval of this overall concept plan does not require formal public hearings and adoption, since the concept -plan will serve only as a "working guide" to the preparation of the more -detailed Specific Area Plans; formal public hearings and adoption by the Planning Commission and City Council will be required for each of the four sub -area Specific Area Plans. These detailed sub -area Specific Area Plans will comprise Phase III of the Specific Area Plan, and will include the zoning regulations, and individual circulation, parking, and public improvements plans for each of the four sectors. The "Phase II - Report", based on the research information developed in the first phase of the CV/MS planning project, analyzes the development potential of the Cannery Village/McFadden Square planning area and indicates forecasted development for the area. The report indicates the projected intensity of development, by land use category, for the existing zoning, as projected by Development Research Associates in 1971, and a revised trend forecast (trend '76), developed by staff in 1976, based on City permits and approvals from 1971 to 1976 and projected development phasing. Finally, the "Phase II - Report" outlines an initial concept plan for the Planning Commission's consideration. It is intended that this Concept Plan be used only as a starting point for Commission discussion. It is based on the adopted policies of the General Plan as they relate to the planning area and the information provided in the "Phase I - Research Report". Staff would suggest that the Planning Commission, after initial discussion of the Phase II report at this Study Session, place the Phase II Report on a future Study Session agenda so that the Commission might revise and refine the concept plan to an acceptable form.

It is intended that the concept plan be limited to overall land u'se, development intensity and circulation. It is suggested that, after public discussion, the Planning Commission approve one overall concept plan, to be used as the basis for development of detailed Specific Area Plans fo-r each of the four individual sectors within the Cannery Village/McFadden Square area. The detailed Specific Area Plans for each sector will be developed during Phase III, and will include zoning regulations, individual circulation plans, parking and public improvement programs for each sector. These Specific Area Plans will be adopted by the Planning Commission and City Council after appropriate public hearings. Phase I of the Specific Plan process dealt with the development of a "Research Report" which outlined the existing environmental -conditions of the overall area and the urban features of each _ individual sector. The information developed in Phase I has been refined and utilized to prepare. the concept alternatives of Phase II. -1- 0 BACKGROUND The Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan area is located west of the Rhine Channel, north of 19th Street, east of the public beach and McFadden Square, southerly of 24th Street, east of Balboa Boulevard and south of 32nd Street. For the purpose of data collection and development of detailed Specific Area Plans, the overall area has been divided into four sectors as indicated on the preceding page. The Lido Peninsula area was included in the "Phase I Report" to allow for consideration of the impact of Lido Peninsula in the discussion of the Cannery Village/McFadden Square area. 32�a/1 l� LM 6dI60 4 1904,1 e �d Balboa Boulevard Pacific Ocean yc� CANNERY VILLAGE/MCFADUEN SQUARE SPECIFIC AREA PLAN PHASE II REPORT "Existing Land Use - 1976" 1.

The following chart indicates the maximum levels of development intensity for each zoning district: District Intensity (F.A.R.) District Intensity (F.A.R.) C-1 2 times buildable R-2 1 duplex per lot C-2 (1) R-`3 1 unit per 1,200 sq. ft. C-0 3 times buildable R-4 1 unit per 800 sq. ft. M-1 3 times buildable Based on the above levels of development intensity, the maximum potential intensity for the Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan area was developed. Because many different uses are allowed within each of the above commercial and industrial zones, it is impossible to predict exactly what will occur; however, a rough estimate can be made by projecting .future uses in the same proportion as current uses. This method provides the following figures: Retail Sales 1,537,289.2 Sq. Ft. Office 658,838.3 Sq. Ft. Industrial 533,345.3 Sq. Ft. Restaurant 376,479.0 Sq. Ft.

While the existing motel use may convert to condominiums or offices, this appears to be the only change that should be anticipated in the planning timeframe. A discussion of the potential development of the remainder of the peninsula is difficult in that neither the existing zoning nor the General Plan limit the extent of possible commercial and industrial development. The Land Use Element contains the following reference: "Lido Peninsula: The Lido Peninsula is a unique area of the -City with a wide variety of existing and potential uses. It is particularly suited to planned development concepts if and when substantial changes in existing uses are undertaken. Meanwhile, all existing uses should be allowed to continue and be upgraded, but any substantial changes should be subject to an approved area plan. "It is desirable that the commercial area in future - planned development include marine and recreation oriented commercial uses, with emphasis on marine repair and service uses in association with boat sales, restaurants, hotels, motels, and specialty shops. The planned development may include residential uses as well as the uses stated above. That part of the area devoted to residential development should not exceed fifteen dwelling units per gross acre. The proportion of land area devoted to existing resi- dential use including the mobilehome parks, as compared to land area devoted to other uses, should not be increased. "It is proposed that: 1) Existing uses be continued, and that repairs, replacements, and remodeling that upgrade and are consistent with those uses be encouraged; provided, however, that when such repairs, replacements, and remodeling enlarge the scope or change the character of such -10- E uses, a use permit shall be required; and 2) The area be designated as a Planned Development district in which substantial changes in existing uses shall comply with'an area plan to be pre•paryd by the owner(s) and approved by the City." Because; as the preceding indicates, the Land Use Element limits only the residential development, it is not possible to project maximum commercial development. However, it is possible to make certain assumptions, based on other recreational and marine commercial areas and current market place demands. The following statistics indicate trend growth for the peninsula area: Retail Sales and Service Office Industrial Restaurants Hotel/Motel Residential 0 5,831 Sq. Ft. 37,662 Sq. Ft. 2,760 Sq. Ft. 30 Rooms 527 Units The above statistical analysis is based on the premise that existing market place demands for residences in the City now indicates that any change from residential development to commercial industrial and/or other uses on the Lido Peninsula should not be anticipated. However, this does not assume the maintenance of existing use. The . existing marine -related services and facilities provided on the peninsula appear extremely. stable viewed in relation to the remainder of this industry within the harbor; therefore, no changes were antici- pated. 1 ICi,tyi',of,-Newpo,rt`BeaEl ch�.Land Use• ement,,=Pages �13 .and 14. -11- D.R.A.

This revised forecast will provide the Commission with an indication of what could be expected to occur if the existing zoning is not changed. This section includes the following: 1) A review of the most recent development (1971-77) within the CV/MS planning area; 2) An indication of the probable timing of redevelopment within the area; and 3) A land use and development intensity forecast for the area.

(See map on preceding page:) This information was then utilized to develop trend forecasts ("Trend '77) for the study -area. Major instances of development and redevelopment between 1971 and 1976 are indicated on the preceding map. This map further indicates developments that have been approved by the City and where construction is imminent. As indicated by this map, there is no overall pattern of redevelopment, rather, such redevelopment has been scattered throughout the overall area. This redevelopment has occurred in response to the private market as has been greatly influenced by lot and ownership patterns. Other influences are the City's zoning and the Coastal Commission. In terms of land use the development of specialty restaurants ("dinner houses") has been the most significant trend in redevelopment, including three "dinner house" restaurants and two smaller restaurants. Office space redevelopment has also been significant. Also, there has been a recent approval for an additional restaurant facility in the "Newport/Balboa Boulevard's Triangle" sector and an office complex along the Rhine in the "Cannery Village" sector. Another recent approval is the construction of a retail sales/ office structure on Newport Boulevard and 30th Street, within the "Cannery Village" area. Office space of this proposed structure (2nd floor) will be used by the owners for corporate headquarters. This type of development (first floor/retail sales; -18- second floor/office) is,a mirror of development in the area within the couplet formed by north and southbound Newport Boulevard.

This analysis was accomplished through a review of the information provided in the "Phase I - Research Report" on structural permanence•, land values and structure values. All property within the planning area was divided into the following three categories: Category I: This category contains properties that are relatively stable and permanent. Major redevelopment of these properties is not anticipated within the next twenty-five years. Category II: This category contains property where development is most eminent. These areas are projected to develop or redevelop within the next fifteen years. Category III: This category contains property that is not anticipated to redevelop within the immediate future, but that which will develop within the next twenty-five years.

This alternative has been developed as a starting point for the discussion of land use and development intensity standards for the overall planning area. The development of the concept plan was based on the assumption that many of the major existing land uses will continue into the foreseeable future. These uses were identified in previous sections of this report dealing with timing of anticipated development and redevelopment. Category I sites and the properties are shown on the preceding map. Discussion The staff -prepared, initial draft Concept Plan includes the following features: 1) The separation of existing residentially -zoned and developed areas from the commercial areas, in order to encourage their revitalization and stabilize their character, would be accomplished by buffering the duplex areas with landscaping and land uses compatible with both residential areas and adjacent uses to the greatest extent possible. Further, it is suggested that through - traffic be eliminated from residential streets. Public,rights- of-ways would be planted with appropriate street trees. 2) Concept Plan 1 would'provide for the preservation of existing marine -related uses (by rezoning these parcels to a Specific Plan District zone that would prohibit non -marine service and repair uses). This preservation of marine uses is consistent with -26- the goals for the Cannery Village area established by the Land Use Element of the General Pla6. 3) Concept Plan I•would restrict those parcels immediately adjacent to the beach to tourist -related activities. This also would be accomplished through a specific plan zoning designation. The tourist -related zone would require sensitive consideration of the special opportunities and constraints exhibited by these beach/visitor related areas. 4) Concept Plan I ("CPI") would.attempt to provide for the revitalization of the specialty commercial uses in the Cannery Village. This would be accomplished through a rezoning to provide for an economically -viable redevelopment of many of the marginal uses. This commercial/residential zoning should also provide an interesting contrast to other specialty shopping areas and alternative life styles for•both residential and commercial tenants. 5) Concept Plan I would call for investigating possible changes to the circul.ation-system and the establishment of -public off-street parking, perhaps utilizing a parking district approach. The circulation system changes might include the closing and landscaping of 21st Street between Ocean Front Avenue and Balboa .Boulevard, the possible closing of 29th and 30th Streets to through -traffic between Newport Boulevard and Balboa Boulevard, and the inclusion of the end of the streets adjacent to Newport Boulevard in off-street parking lots. The provision of off-street public parking would encourage the redevelopment of many of the small lots in the Cannery Village area. 6) Concept Plan I also assumes'the implementation of Circulation -27- Element plans for the Cannery Village/McFadden Square area. This involves improving Newport Boulevard to a major roadway between 30th Street and 32nd Street and improving 32nd Street to a secondary roadway between LaFayette Avenue and Newport Boulevard. 32nd Street would be improved on the southeast side between LaFayette Avenue and Villa Way and on the City Hall side from Villa Way -to Newport Boulevard. Precise alignments would be developed during Phase III of the Specific Area Plan.

Attorney at Law Milan Dostal, Honorable Mayor of the City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, California 92663 Dear Mayor Dostal: Recently, as a representative of Mr. Francis M. Delaney, I attended a meeting of citizens to discuss the parking situation within the Cannery Village area of Newport Beach. Included among those present was Mr. Richard Hogan a Director of Community Development of our City. Mr. Delaney and I feel that this group can be of great assistance tothe City with reference to the rather critical parking situation within the Cannery Village area. it is my plan to take an active part on behalf of Mr. Delaney to do what we can to help to rectify this rather critical situation. During the course of the meeting, Mr. Hogan gave us an overview of the City's policies concerning parking within the area. Mr. Hogan, during the course of the discussion, noted that with reference to new small industrial uses within Cannery Village, there are no requirements for off-street parking. Quite actually, I was somewhat astounded by this policy in view of the rapidly changing nature of the Cannery Village area. �An inquiry as to the reasons for this from Mr. Hogan indicated that the policy was set by the City Council some years ago in an effort to attract small industry into the area. I inquired as to whether or not this policy is sound plan- ning and came away with the impression that there may be some ques- tion as to whether or not it is. It certainly appears that such a policy might be discriminatory against commercial business within the area who have to satisfy the requirements for off-street parking. I believe that Mr. Hogan's position is that he is to implement the policy as set by the City Council. I understand this as his responsibility, however, I question as to whether or not the policy as set by the City Council is in the best interest of the community. R om00 e t OeNeOe 11� Milan Dostal, Honorable Mayor of the City of Newport Beach Page -2- February 8, 1977 I would appreciate a reevaluation of this situation by the City Council, With new commercial uses being implemented in:the area on a daily basisr I certainly feel that the off- street parking situation is critical for all businesses, whether commercial or industrial. As I previously mentionedr I will continue, on behalf of Mr. Delaney and the Delaney Organization, to work with the citizens group and the City in trying to find solutions to this problem. I would appreciate the Council giving due consideration to the question proposed within this letter and would be happy to discuss same with you any time. regard, Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this Very truly, your I t , James C.

AVO O PUBLIC RELATIONS•1077 WEST BALL ROAD•ANAH Mr. Robert Wynn City Manager City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, Ca. 92660 Dear Bob: As a followup to our conversation I am sending you a copy of the Public Relations proposal submitted to the Cannery Village Merchants Association. This correspondence basically covers some of the points of our talk. Thank you again for your time and interest. Special commendation should go to Mike Wilson of the Display Ad- vertising department at the Daily Pilot. Mike has spent two years attempting to "get it'together" so that the individual merchants would do some advertising for the area. He has recently succeeded and the ad is now running weekly in his newspaper. Mike's dedication to the future of this area and his perseverance has now made it possible, I believe, to further help this group of independent businessmen join together. And, I seem to think that during the 13 weeks of scheduled advertising will be the best time to approach them. I certainly know that you are vitally interested in the future of the Civic Center area of Newport Beach. And, you will probably agree with me that this basic approach used by Mike is the only way the Cannery Village will grow naturally, namely: independent support (each advertising is on a separate contract) in a joint effort. If you can think of any way I can be of service to the City of Newport Beach in this endeavor, please let me know. Sincerely, - / - - - ----- - - - - R1ch�C.

H-2 (a) TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: Public Works Department SUBJECT: CANNERY VILLAGE AREA ONE WAY STREET SYSTEM RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution designating 31st Street one-way westerly between Lafayette and Villa Way and 30th Street one- way easterly between Lafayette and Villa Way. DISCUSSION: Street construction in the Cannery Village area has reduced the travel way on 30th and 31st Street to a width of twenty eight feet between curbs. This travel width is inadequate to accommodate parking and two directions of traffic. The businesses on the streets were contacted and the majority of the businesses approved the one-way street installation. The businesses on 31st Street concurred with the proposed one way street system on 31st Street extended to Newport Blvd. The staff considered this request and contacted the businesses on 31st Street between Villa Way and Newport Blvd. Eight of the ten businesses contacted were against an extension of the one way street system. The City Staff Traffic Affairs Committee has reviewed the proposed one-way street system and recommend 31st Street be designated one way westerly between Lafayette and Villa Way and 30th Street be designated one way easterly between Lafayette and Villa Way.

DISCUSSION: Several property owners in the Lido Park Drive -Lafayette Avenue area have expressed an interest in using a rock salt finish on new sidewalk to be constructed in the area. The construction of most of this sidewalk is being funded by the adjacent property owners, with a portion adjacent to the Rhine channel being funded by the City. A contract for street and storm drain work in the area is expected to be awarded at the Council meeting of September 10, 1973. Some of the proposed sidewalk work will. be included in that contract, and other sidewalk construction by individual property owners is anticipated both before and after the City contract. tions: Recommendation for approval is based on the following considera- 1. Rock -salt finish is easily controlled in the con- struction stage. 2. Cost differentials are relatively small. 3. Maintenance problems are not significant. 4. There are no pedestrian safety problems. 5. There are enough property owners in the area interested in the concept to achieve continuity of treatment and a meaningful aesthetic improve- ment. eph Devlin tic Works Director hh CITY COUNCILMEN Z CPOcOm OvT p3 � ROLL CALL April 23 • OF NEWPORT BEACH 1973 MINUTES I 3.

DISCUSSION: Mr. Arthur Tunnell, President of the Cannery Village Associa- tion, has requested by letter that the City's street name signs in the Cannery Village area be modified to indicate "Cannery Village", as well as the street name. A replica of the actual sign will be shown at the study session of April 23. The area designated by the Association is situated between Newport Boulevard and Lafayette Street and between 28th and 32nd Streets. There are 30 street name signs posted in the designated area. The City's sign shop can fabricate the requested signs at a cost of approximately $10.00 per sign, including materials, labor and overhead. The presently posted street name signs in the Cannery Village are approximately two years old and have an estimated additional four year life. Therefore, one-third of the estimated life of a street sign has been used, leaving two-thirds unused. It is proposed by the Associa- tion, therefore, that of the $300 replacement -cost they will pay two- thirds, or $200, and the City will absorb the remainder, or $100. The "Cannery Village" street name sign will cost approximately $1.50 more to fabricate than does a conventional City street name sign. RLW:mm OBERT L.

Likening councilmen to ostriches, William C. Clapet let fire at both the pro- posed height limit ordinance now before planning commissioners and the council's reaction to an innovative development plan for the Cannery Village area. He was also critical of council adoption of strict off-street parking regulations in the Old Newport -Cannery Village area. Clapet had represented the Cannery Village Association outlining a proposal to redevelop the Old Newport area at a meeting of councilmen last week. Councilmen declined to e n d o r s e Clapet's plan, instead adopting the tough parking rules and telling Cannery Villages representatives to come back with a more specific proposal. "L personally feel the city is either avoiding, or ignoring, the individual needs of unique portions of the city, not only in the Cannery area but other areas," Clapet said in a letter to coun- cilmen. "I realize we only had time to present one segment of need in a specific area of Newport Beach," Clapet said, adding, "I also noted that the council did not show enough interest to suggest a task force of the Cannery Village Association and members of the city staff to continue along the limes of our presentation to develop goals so that solutions could be achieved. "How can progress be made whether it be slow, radicalorwhatever, if one•of the principal parties fakes the posture of the ostrich with its head in the sand hoping the problem will solve itself," Clapet said. Councilmen have not formally received Clapet's letter and Mayor Donald A. McInnis said this morning he will reserve comment on it until he has a chance to read it. Clapet, in his letter, said the new park- ing regulations, which require one off- street space for each 250 square feet of store space "is only going to drive out the investor and create a low level slum type area in the back yard of city hall. "Attacking the proposed height ordinance, which would allow buildings up to 50 feet tall, with use permits, in the Old Newport area, Clapet said: "It can only result in the beginning of a high rise graveyard. "I feel the area from the Arches to McFadden's landing and beyond should be maintained in a relative low rise development since this area is on the ac- tive Inglewood -Newport Fault," Clapet said. "Nat only from the standpoint of the fault, but the fact that the early city of Newport was formed in this area, I feel this is an important element that should be preserved," he said.

I As a professional and businessman in the community, I would like to se some interest and action taken by the city in a construc- tive manner. A strict parking regulation jn this'area is only going,.to drive out the investor and create a low level slum type area i.n the back yard of City Hall! It will create the drop of land values to a point that the fast talking developer could swoop down and build ari aesthetic abortion that could be a total dis- 'appointme�t to the city.

Hogan, Director Dear Mr. Hogan: Re: "Lafayette Square" Area Thank you for your reply and information about new ordinances and the meeting on April 6. I know some of the planners and know they mean well. However, the city staff usually points out the problem and suggests a solution, etc. The problem at "Lafayette Square" is not solved by the suggested ordinance because no parking spaces are added or created thereby. The property owners will not buy expensive lots to meet the subject parking ordinance for several economic reasons. The only solution is for the owners to work out their problems with their lessees as in the past. So, please drop the whole subject, and we in turn will try to have our lessees park their cars out of the area to leave spaces for customers. Maybe the employees could bicycle to their work.

The present regulations have been in existence for several years. The Planning Commission, having become aware of the possible problems that could be caused by expansion of com- mercial uses in the area, recommended that the Council adopt an emergency ordinance which would require all new uses to furnish the required parking. The Council,, at its meeting of February 28, 1972, adopted an emergency ordinance which would require all non -manufacturing, i.e., commercial uses, to be approved by use permits to which conditions could be attached. The intent of that emergency ordinance is that new commercial uses will be required to furnish parking, either on their own property or at a nearby site which would be suitable. The emergency ordinance would be effective for a period of ninety days unless extended at that time by the City Council. The Planning Commission has initiated a permanent change to the M-1 ordinance to require either (1) that all new uses. furnish parking, or (2) that only commercial uses be required to furnish parking in the manner prescribed in the Council's emergency ordinance. The hearings before the Planning Commis- sion will be held on April 6, 1972, at 7:39 P.M. in the Council Chambers at City Hall. Mr. William J. Schworer - Page 2 Copies of the proposed ordinance changes will be sent to you prior to that hearing date. The Planning Commission will welcome any comments that you may have.

The mechanics for this project could include: (1),A Redevelopment Agency utilizing federal and/or state programs; (2) A 1911 Improvement Act District; and/or (3) A Parking Authority. The discussion below provides generalized information about these possibilities. DISCUSSION: Redevelopment Agency. There are a number of federal programs that may be available to Newport Beach. A new program called "Neighborhood Development Pro- gram" is available to local public agencies authorized by state law to undertake projects with federal assistance. Local Public Agencies (LPA) may be a separate public agency established by the City Council, or it may be a department of the municipal government. These programs for cities of over 50,000 population are funded two-thirds by the federal government. This particular program gives priorities to pro- jects in which over 50% of the project -area to be benefitted consists of low and moderate income housing. ,This criteria does not fit the Cannery Village area, but the second priority is the project whi.ch.will develop new employment opportunities, and this may apply to the Cannery Village area. The normal type of work authorized by this program is the acquiring and clearing of blighted areas and disposing of the land for redevelopment in accordance with planned uses. A project, however, may involve rehabilitation of structures in a deteriorated area by property owners accompanied by improvement of community facilities by the local government. The communityfacilities•could include street improvements and parking structures. While police facilities cannot be part of a project cost, credit can be given far the local financial share for any reconstruction or development of a police facility and/or city hall. The negative aspects of this program are that it requires an ap- proved "workable program for community improvement" and the average elapsed time from beginning, to the completion of the -planning stage is approximately two years. Implementation following planning could vary from one to ten years. Page -2- Redevelopment Agency - continued Another federal program is commonly called the "Code Enforce- ment Program." This program provides low interest loans (3%) to a property owner to rehabilitate structures, and grants of up to two-thirds of the project.costs for street and alley improvements. To be eligible a city must have a certified "workable program for community improvement" and the elapsed time from commencement to end of planning stage is approximately one year. An area selected fora concentrated. code enforcement program should be predominately residential in character and with building code violations in at least 20% of the buildings in the area. Eligible• costs in computing the federal grant may include expenditures for code administration, such as organizing and supervising a compliance program, inspect- ions, establishing and maintaining record systems, and demolition of unsound structures. Costs of public improvements which may be covered by the federal grant include repair and reconstruction of necessary streets, curbs, sidewalks, street lighting, tree planting and similar improvements. A number of -other programs do exist, but it appears from a brief analysis that the two explained above would have most application. An official from HUD has agreed to visit the area on the 25th and at that time be more specific'. This was the earliest date on which he was available. I received the impression from my telephone con- versation that HUD was interested, but that funds were limited and there is a backlog of projects. The conversation was cordial but pessimistic. I have had successful experiences with both programs, but must report that they are generally characterized with contro- versy and frustrating delays. The Health and Safety Code, commencing with Section 33000, es- tablishes a procedure for the creation and administration of a Re- development Agency. The Redevelopment Agency authorized by state law can do all of the things permitted under the federal program. The,limiting factor is the financing. Financing under the state law is provided by "tax increment" rather than a state grant. Basically, the tax increment is the difference between the old as- sessed values and the new assessed values after the redevelopment occurs. This program requires a fairly substantial sum to "prime the pump" and finance the Redevelopment Agency until the new as- sessed valuation is developed. The City of Long Beach has used the state redevelopment law with medium success, utilizing loans from the oil fund to "prime the pump." 2. 1911 Act. The City Council is familiar with the mechanics, advantages and disadvantages of this procedure. In the interest of brevity, this Act will not be,further explained. Hopefully, pictures and plans of a downtown improvement pro gject will be available at the study session to show the Council. Page -3- 3. Parking i922nity. There are a number of state acts designed to construct park- ing facilities and/or parking structures. They are explained in detail in Exhibits 1, 2 and 3. The land planners in the area having experience with parking facilities report that as a rule of thumb the land values should be between $7.00 and $8.00 per sq. ft. before an elevated parking structure is feasible. If land is less than $7.00 per sq. ft., it is more efficient and economical to purchase land And provide surface parking. City Hall property values as established by Cedric White's appraisal in 1969 is $4.43 per sq. ft. Attached are copies of reports from the Public Works Department and the Assistant City Manager concerning interim improvements and space avail- ability, respectively. RLW:mm Attachments 0at ROBERT L. V IYNN I .• Erg BIT 1 1 HICLc PO vtl G DISTRICT LAW OF 1943 Streets.and Eighways Code - Division 18 - Part i - Sections 31,500-31,933 The Vehicle Parking District Law of 1943 is a District Act under which the cost of acquiring and Lmproving parking lots is assessed upon the real property in the district benefited. It is the most widely used of any of the Acts available. Since the cost is financed by assessment rather than by future parkin.- revenues, free parking or parking at a very low rate may be provided. The proceeding is initiated by a petition from the owners of the property in the district of lands benefited and proposed to be assessed. The petition describes the boundaries of the proposed district and describes the property to be acquired and/or improved for parking. The petition must be signed by the owners of land in the proposed district,ovairg lands constituting more than - one-half of the area of all assessable lands. If the assessment limit to pro- vide the parking facilities is to be measured by the assessed value of land alone, then the petition must also be signed by owners owning lands of an assessed value or not less than 51% of the total assessed value. If the assess- ment is to be based upon land and improvements within the assessable district the petition must be signed by owners owning lands and improvements thereon of an assessed value of not less than 6(f/ of the total assessed value. The petition is then filed with the City Council and the City Council requires the staff to make an estimated spread of assessments upon which public hearings are conducted. A majority protest, from owners of more than one-half of the =°ea of property in the district forces the City Council to terminate the proceedings. An owner may sign such a protest even though he has originally signed the petition. At the hearing, among other things, the Council must find that all of the land in the district will be benefited by the parking improvements. If- land is to be purchased, the purchase price must be added to the estimated improvement costs. The Superintendent of Streets of the City then prepares an assessment roll and apportions an amount among the individual parcels in the district in accordance with the estimated benefits to be received from the project. The Act does not specify any particular formula for determining benefits and thus allows the assessment in each proceeding to be spread in light of the facts of that particular situation. In instances where each parcel is reasonably near to at least one parking lot the Superintendent might spread the assessment solely on tie basis of assesed value of land, area, frontage, or a combination thereof. Y.ow:ever, if somae parcels are a great deal closer to the parking lot than other parcels the factor of distance or proximity to the parking lot would ordinarily be taken into consideration in determining proportionate benefit. After tie proposed assessments are prepared the Council conducts a hearing on the proposed assess -tints to determin= if the assessments have been made in an equitable iaanner.� At this hearing the property owners have no right of majority protest, such as existed at the first hear-,..;. The purpose of this hearing is not to'deter ine whethar the parking facilities are needed but whether the assess- ments have been spread equitably. then the final assessment is recorded each property ow.:er has thirty days in which to pay all or part of his assessment in Exhibit I - Page 2 --- - -- - - - - --- : Vehicle Parkin- District La;a of 1943 — - cash, if he so desires. A bond is issued against each unpaid assessment or the unpaid balance thereof and these bonds are then sold by calling for com- petitive bids. The bonds must be sold for par. The interest and principal is then retired'in equal annual installments over a period of years determined by the original petition. The nura)ar of annual installmonts must not exceed twenty-five years. Vith the money raised by the sale of bonds, or other contributions, the. parking facilities are constructed. Thereafter,'the parking lot is controlled and operated by a Board of Parking Corm-issiorers. The members of the Board are normally appointed by the Mayor, subject to confirmation by the City Council. The City Council cannot itself act as the Board but an individual member or members of the Council -ay be appointed to it. Freedon is givan to the Board as to the riethod of operation. The parking lots can be free lots, can be operated with parking peters, or can be attendant operated. Lots can be leased to a private operator but the operator must maintain public parking facilities, and whether the parking lot is operated by a private operator or by the Board directly, the rates charged must not be higher than those fixed by the Board after a public hearing. All of the proceedings described herein are taken by the City Council as a City function. The parking facilities acquired are oc%med by the City and the Board of Parking Commissioners is a City Commission. EXHIBIT II WHICLE PARKTING DISTRICT LAW Or 1949 Streets and Highways Code - Division 18 - Part 2 - Sections 32,500-33,552 Under this statute the acquisition and/or improvement of parking facilities are financed by the issuance of bonds payable from revenues from the parking facilities. Sdhere this Act is used no taxes or assessments upon property are levied to pay the bonds. The bonds are issued and the parking facilities are provided by a parking authority which is a public corporation separate from the City. Normally, the area within which the parking authority has jurisdiction coincides with the total city area but there is a provision whereby the juris- diction of the authority can be limited to certain projects or to a certain area less than the whole city, it should be noted, however, that there is no provision for two or more authorities in the same city. The Act also provides that the city itself can through its City Council exercise the powers of an authority. When the City Council does this, however, it does it as a parking authority, not as a City Council. If the powers of the authority are vested in a body other than the five members of the City Council they are appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council. Generally speaking, these revenue bonds cannot be issued by the authority until tha voters of the City have by majority vote approved the revenue bond method of financing parking projects, but_through a lease arrangement this reenirerxnt.maybe waived. The Act gives broid powers to the authority to pro- vide covenants and agreements for the protection and security of the bond holder. These would, of course, include a covenant to fix such fees, charges and rentals for the parking facilities so as to be sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the bonds as the same fall due. The authority itself has no juris- diction to place and maintain parking meters on the public streets, but for the payment -of any bonds issued by the authority the City Council of the City may pledge revenues from street parking meters installed and maintained by the City. At the present time this Act is being used principally in connection with the financing arran-ement under which the parking project is leased to the City. The rentals paid by -the City thus constitute the revenues from which the bonds of the authority are payable. As far as I know only one parking authority, Santa Monica, has issued bonds under this Act but undoubtedly there are others. J l • E�n13IT III VnzilC'i. ? MTKING DIST ICT LP.?•1 0? 1951 Streets and Highways Code - Division 18 - Part 4 - Sections 35,100-35,707 The are4 of property to be benefited is formed into a parking district pursuant to a petition from the property onners. The creation of this district is very similar to that described under the 1943 Act. Petitions are filed and hearings are conducted nuch in the same manner as previously described. In the petition for the formation of a district under the 1951 law, the property owners consent to an advalorem assessment to be levied only to the extent to which the revenues in a year have been or are expected to be insufficient to pay the principal and interest corning due the bond holder. The petition for the district states the time in which the bond will be retired and 'the time must not•exceed thirty-six years. The advalorem rate, to be applied in the event the revenue is insufficient, must not exceed 75(, per�$100 assessed valuation in any year. The Act properly used has several advantages; property owners who would be unwilling to assume an assessment for the full amount of the cost, as under the 1943 Act, mught well be willing to support a project under this Act if they are convinced the project is sound from a revenue point of view. If the project proves out it will be self liquidating and no assessment will be necessary. If the revenues are not as large as expected and an assessment becomes necessary the property owner knows in advance the maximum it will cost him as specified in the petition. The second advantage is that projects which could not be financed with straight revenue bonds mic& t-be financed under this Act because of the additional security which a limited assessment affords to the bond holder. On the other hand, it must be borne in'mind that any type of revenue financing will for the life of the bonds impose a duty to fix and collect parking charges on the parking facilities. In future years this may .mean that the business corm unity which has so financed its parking facilities may lose business to competing shopping centers which provide free parking. To avoid such a result, cities concerned with this feature use the 1943 Act, coupled with the use of on-streat and off-street revenues, to help pay the assessments, all as previously discussed. As in the case of the 1943 Act it should be borne in mind thsx the district formed undar, this Act is not itself a legal entity even though there is appointed a Parking Coa*nission. It does not itself make contracts or do any other act. The district is simply a designated area of the City which is benefited by the parking facilities. The proceedings are taken by the City as a City function. The parking facilities acquired or installed are owned by the City. I CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH -- DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Community Development Department SUBJECT: Off-street Parking in the M-1 District When the Municipal Code was amended to include parking require- ments for commercial uses (Section 20.08.191, Ordinance 1292§ 1; March 10, 1969) no provisions were made'to'include the M-1 District. The Code specifically states "off-street parking in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 20.38 entitled '-H' District' shall be required of all property in all commercial zoning districts which has not previously been in- cluded within a _Zr Z or -H' District" (emphasis added). This means that the A-P District, I District, and M-1 District are not subject to any parking requirements unless they have the 'rZ" or "-H" factor attached. This does not create a signifi- cant problem in the "I" District because there is. only one parcel within the City classified as "I" (the southerly side of 15th Street between Irvine Avenue and St. Andrews Road), and it is fully developed. There are several "A-P" parcels within the City, but they all have the "-H" factor attached. The problem is with the M-1.District. The La Fayette, or Cannery Village area and Lido Peninsula contain large amounts of property zoned M-1 (see attached zoning map). The Cannery- Village is developing into a retail complex of specialty shops which will generate a large amount of vehicular traffic. Because the M-1 District allows retail and wholesale stores, as well as the more conventional "light industrial" uses without a use permit, we are already faced with a serious parking problem. An example is the recent conversion of a two-story manufacturing building into 31 retail specialty shops with no off-street parking. Because of the fact that there are no municipal parking lots in the area (as compared to McFadden Square and Central Balboa), and very little on -street parking, the situation is rapidly becoming critical. (Off-street parking. spaces have been re- quired in the M=1•District only for uses requiring use permits such as restaurants'and professional offices.) , Staff feels that the M-1 District was omitted from the off-street parking requirement through an oversight, and we feel that it is imperative to.rectify this situation as soon as possible. For that reason, we recommend that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution setting a Public Hearing +o consider revisions to Section 20.08.191 of the {Newport Beach Municipal Code, specific- ally the inclusion of parking requirements for industrial dist- ricts. Td� f0loling revisions are recommended(the underlined words are "20.08.191 Parking Requirements for Commercial and Industrial Uses. A. REQUIRED PARKING. Off-street parking in accordance TO: Planning Commission - 2. with the requirements of Chapter 20.38 entitled ' "-H" District' shall be required of all property in all commercial or industrial zoning districts which has have not previously been included within a "-Z" or "-H" District. All properties in commercial or industrial districts which do not meet the requirements of this section shall be classified as nonconforming uses." "B. NONCONFORMING USES. The provisions of Chapter 20.44 entitled 'NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES AND USES' shall not be applicable to structures and uses which are nonconforming only because they do not comply with the parking requirements set forth in subsection A above, but instead the following regulations shall be control- ling: 1. Existing Uses and Structures. The lawful use of land or buildings or both in commercial or industrial zoning districts which do not meet the parking requirements set forth in subsection A above, which use -was in existence on the effective date of this section, may be continued or changed to a use requiring the, same or less on -site, parking without compliance with said requirements. games E/Nuzum Senior %fanner JEN:hh Attachments: Zoning Map of Cannery Village Area SEE MAP AV. ¢ bb% s C•I ip . b•a'• C-z C-z C-1 I C-2 C-1 M-I w 90 H ti q 9'e`''- P Pry .9 qCi • M"i z Q;q• _ � PyG.

It is the most widely used of any of the Ac4l available. Since the cost is financed by assessment rather than by future parkin.- revenues, free parking or parking at a very low rate may be provided. The proceeding is initiated by a petition from the owners of the property in the district of lands benefited and proposed to be assessed. The petition describes the boundaries of the proposed district and describes the property to be acquired and/or improved for parking. The petition must be signed by the owners of land in the proposed district,ow-,14 a lands constituting more than one-half of the area of all assessable lands. If the assessment limit to pro- vide the parking facilities is to be measured by the assessed value of lard alone, then the petition must also be signed by owners owning lands of an assessed value or not less than 51`/, of the total assessed value. If the assess- ment is to be based upon lard and improvemants within the assessable district the petition must be signed by owners owning lands and improvements thereon of, an assessed value of not less than 60% of the total assessed value. The petition is then filed with the City Council and the City Council requires the staff to make an estimated spread of assessments upon which public hearings ara conducted. A majority protest, from owners of more than one-half of the area of property in the district forces the City Council to terminate the proceadings. An owner may sign such a protest even though he has originally signed the petition. At the hearing, among other things, the Council must find that -all of the land in the district will be benefited by the parking improvements. If•lard is to be purchased, the purchase price must be added to the estimated improvement costs, The Superintendent of Streets of the City then prepares an assessment roll and apportions an amount among the individual parcels in the district in accordance with the estimated 'benefits to be received from the project. The Act does not specify any particular formula for determining benefits and thus allows the assessment in each proceeding to be spread in light of the facts of that particular situai: on. In instances where each parcel is reasonably near to at least one parking lot the Superintendent might spread the assessment solely on the basis of assesed value of land, area, frontage, or a combination thereof. However, if somme parcels are a great deal closer to the parking lot than other parcels the factor of distance or proximity to the parking lot would ordinarily be taken into consideration in determining proportionate benefit. After tie proposed assessr,.ents are prepared the Council conducts a heai-ing on the pro?osad assassments to determina if the assessments have been made in an equitable mannar.- At this hearing the property owners have no right of majority protest, such as existed at the firsb iieari:3. The purpose of this hearing is no- to'determine whether the parking facilities are needed but whether the assess- ments have been spread equitably. Mier.the final assessment is recorded each propor"y owner has thirty days in which to pay all or part of his assessment in Exhibit 1 - Page 2 Vehicle Parking D-i-strict faw o£ i9_6 cash, if he so desires. A bond is issued against each unpaid assessment or the unpaid balance thereof and these bones are then sold by calling for com- petitive bids. The bonds must be sold for par. The interest and principal is than retired in equal annual install.-ents over a period of years determined by the original petition. The nwroar of annual installments must not exceed twenty -five -years. With the money raised by the sale of bonds, or other contributions, the parking facilities are constructed. Thereafter, *the parking lot is controlled and operated by a Board of Parking Commissioners. The members of the Board are normally appointed by the Mayor, subject to confirmation by the City Council. The City Council cannot itself act as the Board but an individual member or members of the Council -ay be appointed to it. Freedom is give. to the*Board as to the mathod of operation. The parking lots can be free lots, can be operated with parking meters, or can be attendant operated. Lots can be leased to a private operator but the operator must maintain public parking facilities, and whether the parking lot is operated by a private operator o-r by the Bo -_d directly, the rates charged must not be higher than those fixed by the Board after a public hearing. All of the proceedings described herein are taken by the City Council as a City function. The parking facilities acquired are owned by the City and the Board of Parking Commissioners is a City Commission. E)MIBIT II XlEnICLR PARKE�G DISTRICT LAW OF 1949 Streets and Highways Code - Division 18 - Part 2 - Sections 32,500-33,552 Under this statute the acquisition and/or improvement of parking facilities are financed by the issuance of bonds payable from revenues from the parking facilities. Where this Act is used no taxes or assessments upon property are levied to pay the bonds. The bonds are issued and the parking facilities are provided by a parking authority which is a public corporation separate from the City. Womally, the area within which the parking authority has jurisdiction coincides with the total city area but there is a provision whereby the juris- diction of the authority can be limited to certain projects or to a certain area less than the whole city. It should be noted, however, that there is no provision for two or more authorities in the same city. The Act also provides that the city itself can through its City Council exercise the powers of an authority. Then the City Council does this, however, it does it as a parking authority, not as a City Council. If the powers of the authority are vested in a body other than the five members of the City Council they are appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council. Generally speaking, these revenue bonds cannot be issued by the authority until tha voters of the City have by majority vote approved the revenue bond method of financing parking projects, but through a lease arrangement this reeuirement ma�be_coaived. The Act gives broad powers to the authority to pro- vide vide covenants and agreements for the protection and security of the bond holder. These would, of course, include a covenant to fix such fees, charges and rentals for tine parking facilities so as to be sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the bonds as the same fall due. The authority itself has no juris- diction to place and maintain parking meters on the public streets, but for the payment -of any bonds issued by the authority the City Council of the City may pledge revenues from street parking voters installed and maintained by the City. At the present time this Act is being used principally in connection with the financing arrangement under which the parking project is leased to the City. The rentals paid by tha City thus constitute the revenues from which the bonds of the authority are payable. As far as I know only one parking authority, Santa Monica, has issued bonds under this Act but undoubtedly there are others. . "0 E%hT9IT III VEHICIE ?A-'CK, -.G DISTRICT I,AN OF 1951 Streets and highways Code - Division 18 - Part 4 - Sections 35,100-35,707 The are4 of property to be benefited is formed into a parking district pursuant to a petition from the property owners. The creation of this district is very similar to that described under the 1943 Act. Petitions are filed and hearings are conducted much in the same manner as previously described. In the petition for the formation of a district under the 1951 law, the property owners consent to an advalorea assessment to be levied only to the extent to which the revenues in a year have been or are expected to be insufficient to pay the principal and interest coming due the bond holder. The petition for the district states the tine in which the bond will be retired and the time must not•exceed thirty-six years. The advalorem rate, to be applied in the event the revenue is insufficient, must not exceed 750 per $100 assessed valuation in any year. The Act properly used has several advantages; property owners who would be unwilling to assume an assessment for the full amount of the cost, as under the 1943 Act, mught well be willing to supporta project under this Act if they are convinced the project is sound from a revenue point of view. If the project proves out it will be self liquidating and no assessment will be necessary. If the revenues are net as large as expected and an assessment becomes necessary the property owner knows in advance the maximum it will cost him as specified in the petition. The second advantage is that projects which could not be financed with straight revenue bonds mig:.t-be financed under this Act because of the additional security which a limited assessment affords to the bond holder. On the other hand, it must be borne in mind that any type of revenue financing will for the life of the bonds impose a duty to fix and collect parking charges on the parking facilities. In future years this may .mean that the business coTnunity which has so financed its parking facilities may lose business to competing shopping centers which provide free parking. To avoid such a result, cities concerned with this feature use the 1943 Act, coupled with the use of on -street and off-street revenues, to help pay the assessments, all as previously discussed. As in the case of the 1943 Act it should be borne in mind that the district formed under this Act is not itself a legal entity even though there is appointed a Parking CoWiission, it does not itself make contracts or do any other act. The district is simply a designated area of the City which is benefited by the parking facilities. The proceedings are taken by the City as a City function. The parking facilities acquired or installed are owned by the City.
