1. CONCUR with the Board of Water and Power Commissioners' (Board) October 21, 2014 action (Resolution No. 15-063) authorizing the commencement of eminent domain proceedings to acquire 73 parcels of real property in the vicinity located in three sections: north of Mojave- State Route 58 Alternate; West of Mojave and Oak Creek Road; and west of the town of Rosamond in Kern County, California as described in the October 22, 2014 Board report, attached to the Council file.

CONTINUED  CONSIDERATION OF PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to options for an increased fee structure to cover demolition work enforcement cost and public notification for demolition of structures.

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

1. FIND, that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to continuing administrative activities or organizational activities of government that will not result in specific direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, or to the creation of government funding mechanisms or other governmental fiscal activities that do not commit to any specific project that may result in potentially significant environmental impacts. Pub. Res. Code § 21065 and State CEQA Guideline §15378(b).  This proposed ordinance merely establishes a public notification process that alerts affected persons whenever an individual applies for a demolition permit to demolish an older structure under existing permit procedures. On that basis, the proposed ordinance is not subject to CEQA.
   
   
2. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated October 15, 2014, to add Sections 91.106.4.5.1, 91.106.4.5.2, 91.106.4.5.3, 91.106.4.5.4 and 91.106.4.5.5 to Article 1 of Chapter IX of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to add a public notification process for the demolition of older structures and adopt a fee to cover administrative costs.
   
   
3. NOT PRESENT and ORDER FILED the Ordinances, dated October 1, 2014 and July 28, 2014.

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The City Attorney reports that a fee of $60.00 is introduced to cover increased administrative costs for the demolition of older buildings, as directed by the City Council in its May 20, 2014, budget resolution and based on the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety's fee study.  The fee is in addition to preinspection fees set forth in Section 91.107.3.2 of the LAMC and will be used to fund the expansion of the City's demolition program.  The fee reflected in the proposed draft ordinance should increase annual fee revenue by .08 percent, or $95,000, if implemented for a full fiscal year.  This change is not anticipated to have a significant impact on revenues, inasmuch as the anticipated increase in the revenue has already been projected in the FY 2014-2015 Budget.

Community Impact Statement:  Yes

Recommendation for Council action, as initiated by Motion (LaBonge – Koretz):

DIRECT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) to:

1. Commence a Multiple-Provider Carshare Permit Pilot Program.
   
   

2. Finalize the proposed Rules and Guidelines for the Multiple-Provider Carshare Permit Pilot Program, and submit the Rules and Guidelines for approval in 15 days.
   
   

3. Conduct outreach to potential Qualified Carshare Organizations (QCO) soliciting interest in participation in the Multiple-Provider Carshare Permit Pilot Program.
   
   
4. Arrange for sale of 10 or more permits per month to QCO for the remainder of Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-2015, subject to market demand.
   
   
5. Establish an account in the Permit Parking Program Revenue Fund to receive payments for permit fees and administrative costs, and deposit all monies paid by any QCO as compensation for meter or parking fees into the Special Parking Revenue Fund.
   
   
6. Determine the number of permits to be made available for QCO in FY 2014-2015 based on public and QCO demand and to report to Council with recommendations regarding the number of permits.
   
   
7. Report in 90 days with recommended modifications to the Guidelines to incorporate a point-to-point carshare permitting system and initial report on pilot.

As a result, the permit fees have been approximated at a level to ensure full cost recovery of all direct and indirect costs based on current labor salary rates. At this time, the LADOT has estimated the anticipated contractual costs to the best of its abilities; however, some adjustment in the fee may result as more information becomes available. The pilot contains a mechanism to recover lost meter revenue, all costs associated with space marking and conversion. Of the municipalities currently operating pilot programs, all are relying on current staff. Many have indicated they will be assessing staffing needs as the programs grow.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
