FROM: Greg Hermann, Interim Deputy City Manager
Prepared By: Molly Cano, Tourism Manager
SUBJECT: ANNUAL PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE TOURISM BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive testimony regarding the City Co uncil’s intention to
continue the citywide Tourism Business Improvement District ; and
2. Determine whether a legally sufficient protest is made; and
3. If no legally sufficient protest is made, adopt a resolution affirming the continuation of the
San Luis Obispo Tourism Business Improvement District, setting forth the basis for the
assessment, and levying the assessment upon hotels in the district for fiscal year 201 8-19
(Attachment A).
DISCUSSION
Background
On October 2, 2018, the City Council reviewed and approved the Tourism Business
Improvement District (TBID) board’s annual report pursuant to Municipal Code Section
12.42.060 (Attachment B).
The City’s Municipal Code further requires that, after the approval of the annual report, Council
may choose to adopt a resolution of intention to levy an annual assessment for that fiscal year
and schedule a public hearing to receive any written or oral protests against the district .
Resolution No. 10946 (2018 Series), setting such a hearing, was adopted on October 2, 2018
(Attachment C).
Following the October 2, 2018, Council action, all lodging businesses within the district
including hotels, motels, bed and breakfast properties and the City permitted homestays, were
noticed for the public hearing scheduled for October 16, 2018. Those notices were sent on
October 5, 2018 to all assessed properties.

Item 15
Council Action: Public Hearing and Resolution
As set forth in Sections 36524 and 36525 of the California Streets and Highways Code and San
Luis Obispo Municipal Code Section 12.42.060, the Council has the ability to continue the
citywide TBID at the public hearing, unless oral or written protests are received from City
hoteliers that will pay 50% or more of the proposed assessments. Under Municipal Code Section
12.42.060, protests are weighted based upon the annual assessment for the prior year by each
hotel. Staff will have assessment information available at the meeting, but for confidentiality
reasons, this information is not made public before or at the meeting. In the event that a
sufficient negative protest occurs, no further proceedings to continue the levy of assessments for
that fiscal year shall take place.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, if insufficient protest is received, Council may then
adopt a resolution affirming the continuation of the San Luis Obispo Tourism Business
Improvement District, setting forth the basis for the assessment, and levying the assessment upon
hotels in the district for fiscal year 2018-19. Such a resolution is provided as Attachment A.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the recommended action in
this report, because the action does not constitute a “project” under CEQA Guidelines sec.
15278.
FISCAL IMPACT
In 2018-19, the TBID projected revenue is $1,473,400, which is intended to be used for tourism
marketing and promotion as outlined in the TBID Strategic Plan and 2018-20 TBID Marketing
Plan.
ALTERNATIVES
Delay the public hearing. Staff does not recommend this alternative because all legally
required noticing has been completed. In addition to the legal noticing, staff provided additional
constituent outreach. In the event that the City receives close to 50% protest, the Council could
delay the public hearing in order verify protest submissions.
Deny the resolution. Staff does not recommend this alternative if the requirements to deny the
resolution under the legal protest specifications were not met.
