RESOLUTION NO. ___________ - PERMANENT ORDER AMENDING THE PORT OF LOS \nANGELES TARIFF NO. 4, SECTION THIRTEEN – PARKING CHARGES, ITEM NO. 1300 \nTransmittal 1 \nTransmittal 2 \nTransmittal 3 \nSummary: Staff requests approval of a Permanent Order and Ordinance approving an amendment \nto Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4 Section Thirteen – Parking Charges, Item 1300 (a), to increase \nparking rates effective January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026. The proposed Amendment provides \nfor a $2, or 10 percent, increase in the maximum daily rate at the World Cruise Center for regular-\nsized vehicles from $20 to $22, effective January 1, 2025, and an additional $2, or 9.1 percent, \nincrease from $22 to $24, effective January 1, 2026. Parking for the first hour will continue to remain \nfree of charge, with each subsequent hour continuing to be charged two dollars until the maximum \ndaily rate is achieved. Assuming parking utilization rates remain consistent with those observed in \nFiscal Year 2024, the proposed Amendment’s escalations in maximum daily rates are anticipated \nto increase parking fees collected by the Harbor Department by $272,403, or 4.6 percent, in FY \n2025 and $544,805, or 8.7 percent, in FY 2026. Additional increases in parking fee revenues may \nbe realized if projected increases in cruise passenger volumes materialize. A separate action \nrecommends a Temporary Order to make changes to the Tariff within the Board’s authority to adopt \nrates for up to 90 days. Any changes in rates beyond the 90-day period require this Permanent \nOrder to be approved by City Council ordinance in order to become effective. \nRecommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has \ndetermined that the proposed action is administratively exempt from the requirements of the \nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City \nCEQA Guidelines; (2) approve the Amendment to Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4, Section Thirteen \n- Parking Charges, Item No. 1300 (a), subject to the California Association of Port Authorities’ review \nand approval, and authorize the Executive Director to work with California Association of Port \nAuthorities to secure this approval or proceed to take independent action in accordance with \nCalifornia Association of Port Authorities procedure; (3) adopt Permanent Order No. ____________ \nto amend Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4 to modify parking rates in Section Thirteen – Parking \nCharges, Item No. 1300 (a); (4) direct the Board Secretary to execute and transmit to the City \nCouncil for approval the Permanent Order and the Ordinance approving and authorizing the \namendments to the Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4 pursuant to City Charter 653(a); (5) direct the \nPort Police \n9.
