Proposal impacts
Impact on Department business tenants
Department lease terms could last up to 66 years with City Council approval.
Department lease terms currently cannot exceed 50 years even with City Council approval.

Airport board seats would reserve five of seven appointments for residents near LAX and Van Nuys.
Airport board seats currently reserve one appointment for residents near each airport.
Impact on Port applicant businesses

Port applications today follow Harbor Commission rules and coastal permit requirements without a verified blanket study charge.
Impact on Harbor budget staff
Harbor budget staff would have to allocate operating income for waterfront access annually under city law.
Harbor budget staff currently follow a board guideline allocating at least 10% of operating income to waterfront access.
