22-1465 TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to an evaluation and recommendations to retain, repurpose, or remove peak-hour lanes. Recommendations for Council action: APPROVE the Los Angeles Department of Transportation’s (LADOT) recommendations to retain, repurpose, or remove peak-hour lanes based on the criteria outlined within the November 7, 2025 LADOT report, attached to the Council file. DIRECT the LADOT to: Remove peak-hour lanes and restore parking on corridors that operate below traffic volume thresholds to achieve immediate safety benefits as defined in the November 7, 2025 LADOT report, attached to the Council file, and identify which corridors can accommodate bicycle lanes, subject to pavement quality verification by the Bureau of Street Services. Report to Council with an engagement plan and resources needed to remove, repurpose, or retain peak-hour lanes on corridors that operate above traffic volume thresholds. Fiscal Impact Statement: The LADOT reports that it does not anticipate any impact to the General Fund as a result of these recommendations, and will report back with resources needed to further implement the next steps included in the report. While removing peak-hour lanes may reduce the number of citations issued on these corridors, parking enforcement officers currently assigned to enforce peak-hour restrictions can be deployed to address other parking violations throughout the City. The Special Parking Revenue Fund may experience an increase in parking meter revenue since peak-hour lanes limit the hours that parking meters can operate. With peak-hour lanes removed or their hours reduced, the hours that parking meters can operate increases. The LADOT calculated the maximum additional annual revenue per corridor based on the report’s recommendations. The LADOT derived these estimates based on the potential extra hours of meter operation, 100 percent occupancy, current meter rates based on time of day, and 249 non-holiday weekdays of operation per year. Based on this methodology, the maximum annual increase in parking meter revenues from the recommended peak-hour lane modifications is over $482,000 annually once all of the peak-hour lanes are repurposed.

25-0408 CD 14 COMMUNICATION FROM THE CITY CLERK and ORDINANCE OF INTENTION FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to the establishment of the Property-Based Little Tokyo Property and Business Improvement District (District) to levy assessments on real property. Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR: FIND that: The petitions submitted on behalf of the proponents of the proposed District are signed by property owners who will pay more than 50 percent of the assessments proposed to be levied. All parcels included in the District will receive a special benefit from the improvements and activities that are to be provided. All parcels will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment would be imposed are those as identified in the Management District Plan, attached to the Council file. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution, all assessments are supported by the Engineer’s Report, prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California, attached to the Council file. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution and based on the facts and conclusions contained in said Engineer’s Report, the assessment levied on each parcel within the proposed District is proportionate to the special benefit derived from the improvements and activities that are to be provided. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution and based on the facts and conclusions contained in said Engineer’s Report, the Engineer has separated the general from special benefits. The Engineer's Report identified general benefits in the amount of two percent to be separated from the special benefits conferred on parcels within the proposed District. The yearly general benefits cost must be paid from funds other than the assessments collected for the District. The general benefit cost for first year of operation is $30,142.48. No publicly-owned parcel is exempt from assessment. The assessments for the proposed District are not taxes and that the District qualifies for exemption from Proposition 26 under exemption 7 of Article XIIIC, Section 1(e). The services to be provided by the Owners Association are in the nature of professional, expert, technical or other special services, that the services are of a temporary and occasional character, and that the use of competitive bidding would be impractical, not advantageous, undesirable or where the common law otherwise excuses compliance with competitive bidding requirements. The proposed improvements and activities are completely separate from the day-to-day operations of the City of Los Angeles. APPROVE the Little Tokyo Steering Committee to administer the District if the District is established. ADOPT the Preliminary Report of the City Clerk dated April 9, 2025, attached to the Council file. ADOPT the Management District Plan, attached to the Council file. ADOPT said Engineer’s Report, attached to the Council file. PRESENT AND ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE OF INTENTION, dated April 11, 2025, to establish a Property and Business Improvement District, to be known as the “Little Tokyo Property and Business Improvement District”, pursuant to the Provisions of the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (Divison 18, Part 7, Streets and Highways Code, State of California), and to levy assessments. AUTHORIZE the City Clerk, upon establishment of the District, to prepare, execute and administer a contract between the City of Los Angeles and the Little Tokyo Steering Committee, a non-profit corporation, for the administration of the District’s programs. DIRECT the City Clerk to comply with the notice, protest, and hearing procedures prescribed in the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act (California Government Code Section 53750, et seq.). REQUEST the City Attorney, with the assistance of the City Clerk, to prepare an enabling Ordinance establishing the District for City Council consideration at the conclusion of the required public hearing. AUTHORIZE the Controller, upon establishment of the District, to establish a special trust fund within FMS entitled “Little Tokyo Business Improvement District”, and assign a new revenue source code, if needed, to this special fund. Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Clerks reports that the assessment levied on the City-owned properties within the District to be paid from the General Fund total $359,944.76 for the first year of the District. Funding is available in the Business Improvement District Trust Fund 659 to pay the General Fund share of the assessment for the first operating year. Proposition 218 requires the separation of general benefits from the special benefits. The general benefit portion for the District is $30,102.48 (2% of the total budget) for the first year. However, funds other than assessment revenue must be budgeted annually for the general benefit expense for the remaining years of the BID'S five-year term.
