Request the City Attorney to prepare and present an Ordinance to:

1. Amend Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC) Section 8.149.5, Rates-Use of Specific Rooms to reflect all rooms, including meeting rooms and special event halls and its proposed rates as referenced in Recommendation No. 1 of the Department of Convention and Tourism Development (CTD) report dated October 4, 2018, attached to the Council file.
   
   
2. Amend LAAC Section 8.149.2, titled Daily Rates to be Charged for Use of the Various Halls for Trade Shows and draft the appropriate language that would enable the LACC to:
   
   
   1. Charge for exhibit halls based on a flat-fee method rather than a per net square-foot method and that would incorporate the updated list of exhibit halls as referenced in Recommendation No. 3 of the said CTD report.
      
      
   2. Enable the CTD to conduct a survey of rental rates at convention centers nationwide at least every five years or when practical to do so as referenced in Recommendation No. 5 of the said CTD report.

The CTD anticipates that the above recommendations will assist LACC’s efforts to maintain its current clientele.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the restoration of the City's Accessible Parking Zone (APZ) Program.

Recommendations for Council action:

1. APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the proposed modifications to the APZ Blue Curb Program contained in the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) and Department on Disability (DOD) report dated October 10, 2018, to establish:
   
   
   1. A process to meet Reasonable Accommodations as determined by the DOD to provide APZs to disabled constituents.
      
      
   2. A criteria for the removal of existing Legacy Blue Curb zones.
      
      
   3. A multi-departmental APZ evaluation and delivery process.
      
      
2. AUTHORIZE the LADOT, with the support of DOD, to make technical corrections and adjustments to the APZ Program Rules and Procedures as necessary, to ensure that program policies comply with updates to State and Federal Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
   
   
3. INSTRUCT the Department of City Planning, in consultation with the LADOT and the DOD, and the Department of Building and Safety, to report in 90 days relative to how APZs are addressed:
   
   
   1. In streetscape plans to proactively include accessible parking and reduce conflicts with trees and street furniture.
      
      
   2. During the development review process, particularly for sensitive uses including medical care and long-term care facilities, adult day care facilities, schools, churches, senior housing, and businesses that will require valet parking zones.
      
      
4. INSTRUCT the Department of Public Works, in consultation with the DOD, to report in 90 days relative to:
   
   
   1. A schedule to train all relevant personnel on new APZ program requirements.
      
      
   2. How APZ requests that require capital improvements will be prioritized within the Sidewalk Repair Program.
      
      

Fiscal Impact Statement: Based on the knowledge, experience, and findings of the pilot program, the LADOT reports that the fiscal impact to the General Fund to re-establish the APZ Program is moderate. The newly identified implementation costs will be borne by existing programs or incorporated into development and capital improvement projects. However, at locations where the implementation of an APZ requires a new sidewalk or curb ramp, removal of a tree, or relocation of a utility pole, the costs may be substantial. This program tries to identify where low cost services can be delivered, and separates those requests from others that may be more costly and time consuming.
