<br />APPENDIX 1 - THE PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT <br />DISTRICT LAW OF 1994 <br /> ..- <br />STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE <br /> SECTION 36600 et seq. <br /> As Amended January 1. 2005 <br /> DECLARATIONS <br />36600. This part shall be known and may be cited as the "Property and Business Improvement <br />District Law of 1994." <br />36601. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: <br />(a) Businesses located and operating within the business districts of this state's <br />communities are economically disadvantaged, are underutilized, and are unable to <br />attract customers due to inadequate facilities, services, and activities in the business <br />districts. <br />(b) It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical <br />maintenance of the business districts of its cities in order to create jobs, attract new <br />businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. <br />(c) It is of particular local benefit to allow cities to fund business related improvements, <br />maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or <br />real property that benefits from those improvements. <br />(d) Assessments levied for the purpose of providing improvements and promoting <br />activities that benefit real property or businesses are not taxes for the general benefit <br />of a city, but are assessments for the improvements and activities which confer <br />special benefits upon the real property or businesses for which the improvements and <br />activities are provided. <br />36602. The purpose of this part is to supplement previously enacted provisions of law that <br />authorize cities to levy assessments within a business improvement area. This part does <br />not affect or limit any other provisions of law authorizing or providing for the furnishing <br />of improvements or activities or the raising of revenue for these purposes. <br />36603. Nothing in this part is intended to preempt the authority of a charter city to adopt <br />ordinances providing for a different method of levying assessments for similar or <br />additional purposes from those set forth in this part. A property and business <br />improvement district created pursuant to this part is expressly exempt from the <br />provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act <br />of 1931 (Division 4 (commencing with Section 2800)). <br />Tri-Valley Tourism BID Management District Plan Page 13 <br />
