in effect§61.1823 Disposal of Area Property
The Council may sell or lease any property acquired for business and improvement area purposes, including property acquired for business and improvement area purposes by the Parking Authority of The City of San Diego and transferred to the City, whenever it has determined that the property is no longer needed for that public use. Before making such determination, the Council shall hold a public hearing thereon and shall give notice of such hearing published pursuant to Section 6061 of the Government Code in a newspaper circulated in the City at least ten (10) days before such hearing. The notice shall contain a general description of the property as to which the determination is proposed to be made. The determination shall not be made if prior to the hour fixed for the hearing the owners of more than one– half of the area of the lands within the district have filed with the City Clerk written objections to the proposed determination.
The proceeds of such sale or lease shall be used for only the following purposes and in the following order of priority:
(a) For the purchase of other off–street parking places within the district, or for the improvement, addition or extension of existing parking places in the district.
(b) For making refunds to the then owner of each parcel of real property included within the district and which has been assessed in the proportion which the total assessment levied upon such parcel bears to the total of all such assessments. The aggregate amount of any such refund, however, shall in no event exceed the total payments made by such owner or his predecessor in interest on any assessment or reassessment levied in proceeding taken under this division and creating such district. Any such proceeds remaining after the appropriate distribution shall be credited to the General Fund of The City of San Diego.
