Orange County Coastal Regional Sediment Management Plan These consist of counts in high and low season as well as interviews with lifeguards or other people familiar with the sites. For Cottons, data from Nelsen et. al. (2007) was used. Spending varies considerably by the visitor. However, King and Symes (2003) found that average spending patterns are reasonably consistent across beaches in southern California, differing mainly between those who are on day trips and those who stay overnight. Consequently, the critical variable is the percentage of visitors staying overnight. King and Symes (2002) found that 30 percent of high season visitors in Huntington Beach stayed overnight. This percentage was applied throughout Orange County to estimate the overnight visitors from day use patterns. City, county, and state tax receipts were also estimated based on the spending estimates from King and Symes (2002), which provide detailed data on the types of spending. Sales taxes were estimated based on the spending subject to sales tax and the local sales tax percentage was distributed by the government mandated formula. For most cities in Orange County relevant to this study, the sales tax is 7.75 percent with 6.25 per cent going to the State, 0.75 percent going to the city of origin for the sale and 0.75 percent going to the County. If the area is unincorporated 1.5 percent goes to the County. Transient occupancy taxes (TOT) are important for city governments and represent significant sources of local revenues. The TOT is set by each city, or county for unincorporated areas, and is typically 10 percent of the overnight lodging expense, though these rates do vary. Parking is also a significant source of revenue for many cities such as Huntington Beach. Since many visitors park in street parking not designated specifically for beaches, city parking revenue data cannot be used to estimate beach parking revenue. Instead, King and Symes’ (2002) data were used. Parking fines can also be a significant source of revenue, often as large as parking fees themselves, but these were not estimated as part of this project. The increase in state income taxes or local property taxes generated by beach tourism was not estimated since there is no simple direct way to do so. However, these impacts are likely to be significant. Table 3.6 presents estimates of the economic and tax revenue impacts of Orange County beaches based on direct spending. Spending estimates are directly related to visitation; as attendance increases, spending increases proportionately. If the indirect and induced impacts of this spending were considered, the total impact to Orange County would be approximately doubled and the impacts to cities would be substantially higher. Larger cities capture more of the indirect and induced impacts. Overall, it is estimated that Orange County beaches generate $1.3 billion in direct spending, $70.4 million in California taxes, $8.5 million in Orange County taxes, and $7.9 million in taxes for all of the cities involved. Not surprisingly, Huntington City Beach generates the most economic impact, followed by Newport - Balboa Beaches. Everest International Consultants, Inc. 3.20
