§ 2.14.010. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER LAWS.

.010 This ordinance provides an alternative method of financing certain tourism related programs, improvements and activities. The provisions of this ordinance shall not affect or limit any other provisions of law authorizing or providing for the furnishing of improvements or activities or the raising of revenue for these purposes. Every improvement area established pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (California Streets and Highways Code Sections 36500-36551) or the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (California Streets and Highways Code Sections 36600-36671) is valid and effective and is unaffected by this chapter. Any provision of this chapter which conflicts with any of the above-referenced provisions of law shall prevail over such other provisions of law.

.020 This chapter is intended to be construed liberally and, if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. If the provisions of this chapter respecting the levying of assessments are held invalid in any area within which assessments have been levied pursuant to the resolution of formation and assessment methodology adopted in accordance with Section 2.14.090, the assessments shall be reimposed in an identical amount and upon the same businesses as a matter of law and no lapse in the levy of any assessment shall be deemed to have occurred. Assessments levied under this chapter are not general or special taxes. (Ord. 6174 § 1 (part); July 27, 2010.)
