33001
. (a) Whenever the board finds that property adjacent to, or
in the vicinity of, one or more rail transit stations, or proposed
rail transit stations, of the district receives or will receive
special benefit by reason of the location or operation of one or more
of those rail transit stations, the board may, by resolution adopted
by a two-thirds vote of its members, provide for notice and hearing
on its intention to establish one or more special benefit districts
and to levy a special benefit assessment on real property therein for
the purpose of financing, in whole or in part, the acquisition,
construction, development, joint development, operation, maintenance,
or repair of one or more rail transit stations and rail transit
related facilities located within the benefit district.
(b) For purposes of this chapter, "benefit district" means a special benefit assessment district established pursuant to this chapter, the area of which shall not lie more than one mile from the center point of any rail transit station or proposed rail transit station within the central business district of the City of Los Angeles and shall not lie more than one-half mile from the center point of any rail transit station or proposed rail transit station at any other location. "Central business district of the City of Los Angeles" means that area within the City of Los Angeles lying east of the Harbor Freeway (State Highway Route 11).
(c) The resolution may provide that the proposed benefit district will contain separate zones, which may consist of either contiguous or noncontiguous areas of land within the district. The proposed benefit district and each proposed zone, if any, therein shall be an area adjacent to, or in the vicinity of, one or more rail transit stations or proposed rail transit stations. The boundaries of the benefit district and of each zone, if any, therein shall be drawn so as to reflect, as accurately as possible, the areas in which special benefits are conferred by reason of the proximity and operation of one or more rail transit stations.
(d) The notice stating the time and place of the hearing, and setting forth the boundaries and purpose of the proposed benefit district, shall be published prior to the time fixed for the hearing pursuant to Section 6066 of the Government Code.
(e) Notice shall also be mailed at least 30 days prior to the hearing to all owners of real property within the boundaries of the proposed benefit district whose names and addresses appear on the last equalized assessment roll or are otherwise known to the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles or to the district.
(f) For purposes of this chapter, "transit related facilities" means land, buildings and equipment or any interest therein, whether or not the operation thereof produces revenue, which has, as its primary purpose, the operation of the rail transit system or the providing of services to the passengers of the rail transit system, but does not mean any land, buildings, or equipment, or interest therein, which is used primarily for the production of revenue not arising from the operation of the rail transit system.
