(b) Acquired or constructed for the use of benefit
of such districts and paid for in any other manner.
7310. Regulations. As directed by the City Council,
the Commission shall operate, manage, and control such park-

collect rentals, fees, or charges for the parking of vehicles
in parking places under its control, and may provide different
rates for different classes of customers or users.
7312. Preferential Rates. The providing of adequate
public parking places in cities largely depends upon the forma-
tion of local vehicle parking districts. Such districts will
be created and will be successful only if so operated as to
serve adequately the property within such districts. It is
the intent of this part that the owners of real property in a
vehicle parking district to provide parking places to-solve the
parking problems of the district, may receive preferential
rates, charges, or rentals for themselves, their tenants, and
the classes of persons who call upon or do business with them,
all to the end that the property which bears the burden and
provides a solution for the parking problem shall receive a
special benefit.
7313. Restrictions. All parking places acquired and
constructed pursuant to the Vehicle Parking District Act of
1943 are public parking places, but the Commission may re-
strict or partially restrict their use to owners and tenants
of real property in the district, and classes of persons de-
signated by such owners or their tenants, and may establish
rates, charges, or rentals for the owners and tenants of
such properties and classes of persons designated by the
owners or tenants which differ from and are less than the
rates, charges, or rentals charged other persons.
7314. Hearings. Rentals, fees, and charges shall be
fixed after public hearing following such notice as the Com-
mission prescribes.
7315. Free Spaces. The Commission may, if it so desires,
operate the parking places, or any thereof, as free public
parking places without fee or charge.
7316. Leases. In the exercise of its power to operate,
manage, and control parking places, the Commission may, sub-
ject to prior Council approval, lease any or all parking
places to any person for the sole purpose of the operation
of public parking facilities on them by such person, or may
grant a franchise or make a contract with any person for
such purpose.
(a) Rentals. The consideration to be paid by the
operator for any lease or franchise or under any contract
may be a fixed sum or a percentage of gross rentals,
fees, or charges collected by the operator, or any other
consideration.
(b) Determination of Rent. The maximum rentals,
fees, and charges to be collected by the operator shall
be fixed by the Commission after public hearing follow-
ing such notice as the Commission prescribes, and shall
be recited in the lease or franchise. No higher rentals,
fees or charges shall be collected by the operator with-
out amendment of the lease or franchise agreed to by
the Commission after like public hearing.

Ordinance No. 65-159, page 3
(c) Limited Operations. An operator shall not
conduct any business other than that of the operation
of public parking facilities on any parking place of

vide that the use of the parking places shall be re-
stricted, or partially restricted, to owners and tenants
of real property in the district, and classes of persons
designated by them, and may provide for maximum rates,
charges, or rentals for such persons which differ from
and are less than the maximum rates, charges, or rent -
als for such persons which differ from and are less
than maximum rates, charges, or rentals charged other
persons.
7317. Reservations. To provide revenues for the dis-
trict, the Commission may enter into a contract or lease with
any owner or tenant of property in the district under which
the owner or tenant, for a specified rental or other consid-

reserves a reasonable proportion or number of parking spaces
in a parking place of the district for the use of the owner
or tenant of such property, the employees of the owner or
tenant performing services on the property, and the custom-
ers of, or other classes of persons designated by, the owner
or tenant and entering the property as invitees or otherwise.
7318. Further Improvements. After the improvements
to be made under the initial proceeding inaugurated by pe-
tition have been completed, any further improvement of any
parking place shall be made by the Commission.
