15 Cross reference(s): Historic preservation committee, Chapter 2.430; historic district HD overlay zone, Chapter 24.340.

A. On October 7, 1991, the city council of the city of San Buenaventura (the “city”), adopted Resolution 91-92 entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Buenaventura declaring its intention to establish a Parking and Business Improvement Area to be known as the Historic Downtown Ventura Parking and Business Improvement Area (the “resolution”) to levy a benefit assessment on all businesses, trades, and professions within said Area, the proceeds of which shall be used for the public purposes herein described to benefit the businesses in the Area, pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, Part 6 (commencing with Section 36500) of Division 18 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the Act).”

B. Pursuant to the act and the resolution, city held and conducted a public hearing, after having given due notice thereof as required by law, on October 28, 1991, at 7:30 p.m., at City Hall, 501 Poli Street, Ventura, California. At said public hearing the city council heard and considered all oral and written protests and other comments regarding the proposed actions. Protests in writing from businesses in the proposed area paying 50 percent or more majority of the proposed assessment have not been received.

C. The city council has now determined to establish the proposed area as a parking and business improvement area, to provide for the imposition of a benefit assessment and to adopt an ordinance to such effect.

D. The city council finds and determines that the businesses and property within the business improvement area will be benefited by the improvements and activities funded by the assessments hereby levied and proposed to be levied in the manner prescribed herein.

E. The city council finds that the establishment of the business improvement area is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 pursuant to exemption classes 1, 4, 11 and 20 of the state CEQA guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Section 15000 et seq.). (Code 1971, § 2401)

In order to distinguish between area businesses and for the purpose of calculating and applying the amount of assessments owed, the following definitions shall apply:

“Billing period” refers to the two six-month periods of each fiscal year. The first “billing period” shall be the period of January 1st through June 30th, inclusive, of the fiscal year. The second “billing period” shall be the period of July 1st through December 31st, inclusive, of the same fiscal year.

Financial. “Financial” businesses include banks, savings and loans, household finance companies, and other lending institutions.

“Fiscal year” means January 1st of one calendar year to and including December 31st of the same calendar year.

Industrial. “Industrial” businesses include industrial plants primarily engaged in manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging, or fabricating of materials and products from extracted or raw materials or previously prepared materials. Industrial businesses also relate to businesses that finish products or parts. Typical industrial businesses include furniture manufacturing, apparel assembly plants, tool and die shops, and machine shops. Industrial businesses also include warehousing and storage facilities and wholesale distributing facilities.

Lodging. “Lodging” businesses include inns, hotels, motels, and RV parks and other similar businesses that only permit occupancy by “transients,” as that term is defined in Section 4.115.020.

Professional. “Professional” businesses include attorneys, architects, engineers, surveyors, physicians, dentists, optometrists, chiropractors and others in a medical/health service field, consultants, hearing aid services, and artists and designers.

Restaurants. “Restaurant” businesses include cafes, eating establishments, sandwich shops, dinner houses, restaurants and fast food services and other similar businesses.

Retail Businesses. “Retail” businesses include all businesses not covered by other definitions set out in this section, at least 50 percent of whose gross income is derived from “retail sales” as that term is defined under the California Sales and Use Tax Law. The fact that a substantial part of its business consists of sales other than retail sales does not exclude said business from this classification so long as such other business component does not account for more than 50 percent of said business’s gross income. “Retail” businesses also include bars, nightclubs, and automobile dealers.

Service. “Service” businesses include general office, real estate agents or brokers, news and advertising media, printers, photographers, personal care facilities and outlets, laboratories (including dental and optical), contractors/builders, service stations, repairing and servicing businesses, renting and leasing businesses, including video tape and video disk rental businesses, vending machine businesses, amusement arcades, theaters, and other similar businesses not otherwise included in the definitions of “financial,” “industrial,” “lodging,” “professional,” “restaurants,” or “retail businesses” in this section. (Code 1971, § 2402)

A parking and business improvement area is hereby established pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, Streets and Highways Code Section 36500 et seq. This parking and business improvement area shall be known as the “historic downtown Ventura parking and business improvement area” (the “business improvement area” or “area”). The boundaries of the business improvement area and the benefit zones within the area shall be as set forth in Section 4.310.150. (Code 1971, § 2403)

Except as provided in Section 4.310.060, all businesses, trades, and professions, as defined in Section 4.310.030, located within the area boundaries described in Section 4.310.150 shall, commencing January 1, 1993, be liable for and pay an annual benefit assessment to the city in the following amounts:

Annual Benefit Assessment

A. When there is more than one retail business inside the same address/location, the amount of the assessment payable by each business at that location shall be an amount calculated as follows:

1. Determine the annual assessment that would be assessed to a single retail business that has the same number of employees as the combined number of employees of all the retail businesses at the location in question;

2. Determine the number of employees of the retail business whose assessment is being calculated;

3. Determine the combined number of employees of all retail businesses at the location in question;

4. Divide the number derived in subsection (A)(2) of this section by the number derived in subsection (A)(3) of this section;

5. Multiply the quotient derived in subsection (A)(4) of this section by the assessment determined under subsection (A)(1) of this section;

6. The product of the multiplication provided for in subsection (A)(5) of this section is the amount of the assessment payable by the retail business whose assessment is being calculated.

B. When there is more than one service business inside the same address/location, the amount of the assessment payable by each business at that location shall be an amount calculated as follows:

1. Determine the annual assessment that would be assessed to a single service business at the location in question;

2. Determine the total number of service businesses at the location in question;

3. Divide the number one (“1”) by the number derived in subsection (B)(2) of this section;

4. Multiply the quotient derived in subsection (B)(3) of this section by the assessment determined under subsection (B)(1) of this section;

5. The product of the multiplication provided for in subsection (B)(4) of this section is the amount of the assessment payable by the service business whose assessment is being calculated.

C. For the purpose of determining the amount of the assessment to be levied on an owner of a business, all businesses that are included in the same definition of a particular business category (for example, “retail businesses”) and that are owned and operated by the same owner at the same address/location, shall be deemed to be a single business.

D. For the purpose of determining the number of employees attributable to a particular business, at a particular location, the term “employee” shall mean all persons engaged in the operation or conduct of the business, whether as owner, any member of the owner’s family, partner, agent, manager, solicitor, or salesperson, regardless of basis of compensation, and any and all other persons employed or working in such business, including but not limited to students and apprentices working in connection with instruction in any business, for which service the owner, operator or management receives compensation or a thing of value. Uncompensated volunteers shall not be deemed to be employees for purposes of computing the annual benefit assessment.

In determining the number of employees, the number of hours worked by all employees during the entire preceding fiscal year (January 1st to December 31st) shall be added together and the sum thereof divided by 2,000. Any remainder or fraction shall not be considered; provided, however, that any amount below the first 2,000 hours shall be considered as 2,000 hours, and, in such event, the business in question shall pay the assessment using one employee as a basis for computing the assessment due.

Any employee who is paid for working away from the business location for more than 50 percent of the time for which the employee is paid during a fiscal year shall be deemed an exempt employee, and the employee’s time shall not be included in the computation above, except that a business in which all employees qualify for the exemption shall pay an assessment using one employee as a basis for computing the assessment.

E. For purposes of this section and this chapter, a business shall not be deemed to be at the same “address/location” as another business or businesses if the business in question meets any of the following criteria:

1. It has a separate suite number or other designation for purposes of receiving mail through the U.S. Postal Service.

2. It is located in a room or rooms that have a door or other entrance that is separate from the door or entrance to the other business or businesses.

3. It is separated from the other business or businesses by a public walkway or passage. (Code 1971, § 2404)

The improvements and activities to be provided in the area will be funded by the levy of the assessments provided for in this chapter. The types of improvements and activities proposed to be funded by the levy of assessments on businesses in the area are as follows:

Any new business established within the area shall not be required to pay an assessment for the billing period during which said business is initiated, but the initial assessment payable by said business shall commence with the next succeeding billing period. The business will be considered to have been initiated on the date of issuance of the business license or on the day it actually commences operation, whichever occurs first. This exemption shall not apply to an existing business that has changed ownership or location within the area. (Code 1971, § 2407)

The benefit assessment authorized by this chapter for businesses defined in Section 4.310.020 (and not exempted under Section 4.310.060) shall be billed and collected for each fiscal year as provided below. City will bill and collect the assessments in two equal installments. City will mail bills by first class mail no later than February 1st for the first billing period installment payment which shall be due no later than March 15th; and will mail bills on or before September 1st for the second billing period installment payment which shall be due no later than October 15th of that fiscal year.

Late payment penalties shall be applied to businesses that do not provide their respective assessment payments on the dates provided for herein at a rate of 10 percent per month. At such time as late payment penalties equal 50 percent of the total annual assessment for a particular business, action shall be taken to recover said delinquent assessments. Costs of this recovery, including legal fees to effect collection, shall be borne by the business owing the assessment and late penalties.

All businesses that have paid their full 1992 annual assessment by March 15, 1993, regardless of whether their first installment was received after March 15, 1992, shall not be charged a late payment penalty. Businesses that paid their full 1992 annual assessment plus a late payment penalty shall have that penalty reimbursed. (Code 1971, § 2408)

Contributions to the area shall be permitted on a voluntary basis. The boundary of the area shall not be modified as a result of the contribution, nor shall the contributing business be considered a member of the area for voting or other purposes. However, the business making a voluntary contribution may be entitled to participate in the programs of the area upon a finding by the city council that the area derives a benefit from participation by that business in the program. (Code 1971, § 2409)

Pursuant to the Act, the city shall appoint an advisory board (the “board”). The board shall annually make a recommendation to the city council on the expenditure of revenues derived from the levy of assessments pursuant to this chapter, on the classification of businesses, as applicable, and on the method and basis of levying the assessments, and shall prepare and submit the report provided for in Section 36533 of the Act (“the budget”). The budget shall be presented to the city council for its review and approval prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. The purpose of this process is to comply with provisions of the Act regarding public notice and hearing prior to establishing the benefit assessments for the following fiscal year. (Code 1971, § 2410)

City specifically finds and declares that the funds derived from the area shall not be used to offset or diminish current maintenance and capital improvement programs. (Code 1971, § 2411)

The proceeds of the benefit assessments established hereunder shall not be used to acquire and/or construct additional public parking, unless such use of the funds is first approved by a majority vote of the area members voting. (Code 1971, § 2412)

A.

Any written request that the council disestablish the area shall be contained either in the written document that contains a protest against the levy of the annual assessment or in a separate document. Any such requests that the area be disestablished must be filed, if at all, not less than 10 days before the date fixed for the hearing on the levy of the annual assessment. The public hearing to be held by the council on the levy of the proposed annual assessment shall be held not less than 55 or more than 65 days after the adoption of the resolution of intention to levy the assessment.

B.

2. The council shall adopt a resolution of intention to disestablish the area. The resolution of intention to disestablish the area shall fix a time, date, and place for a public hearing on the resolution of intention to disestablish the area that is the same as the time, date, and place to which the public hearing on the resolution of intention to levy the annual assessment was continued, as provided in subsection (B)(1) of this section.

Proceedings to disestablish the area shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 36550 of the Streets and Highways Code. The council shall disestablish the area if, following the public hearing on the resolution of intention to disestablish the area, written requests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the requests below 50 percent of the annual assessment proposed to be levied in the area.

C. If, at the hearing on the levy on the annual assessment, the council finds that (1) on or before the date fixed for the hearing on the levy of the annual assessment, business owners who would pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied in the area filed written protests against the levy of the annual assessment (and if such protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than that 50 percent), and finds that (2) on or before 10 days before the date fixed for the hearing on the levy of the annual assessment, business owners who would pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied in the area did not file written requests that the area be disestablished, the council shall terminate the proceedings and shall not take any further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest.

D. If, at the hearing on the levy on the annual assessment, the council finds that (1) on or before the date fixed for the hearing on the levy of the annual assessment, business owners who would pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied in the area filed written protests against the levy of the annual assessment (and if such protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than that 50 percent), and also finds that (2) business owners who would pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied in the area filed requests, on or before 10 days before the date fixed for the hearing on the levy of the annual assessment, that the area be disestablished (and such requests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the requests to less than that 50 percent), the council shall take the following actions:

1. The council shall terminate the proceedings to levy the annual assessment and shall not take any further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest against the levy of the assessment; and

2. The council shall adopt a resolution of intention to disestablish the area. The public hearing to be held on the disestablishment of the area shall be held not less than 20 or more than 30 days after adoption of the resolution of intention to disestablish the area.

E. If neither the events described in subsection B of this section, nor the events described in subsection C or D of this section, occur, then the council shall proceed with the hearing on the resolution of intention to levy the annual assessment.

F. For the purposes of determining whether business owners who would pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied in the area filed written requests that the area be disestablished or filed written requests against the levy of the annual assessment, only written requests and protests that were dated and signed after the council adopted the resolution of intention to levy an annual assessment for a particular fiscal year shall be counted.
