The roadmap to address the long-term future of the Santa Monica City of Santa Monica had plans and the funds to renovate Civic Auditorium and provide a framework to implement the the Civic Auditorium, but the loss of redevelopment agencies vision. The event was part of ULI Los Angeles’s Technical terminated those plans. At this time, the city closed regular Advisory Panel (“TAP”) program which provides expert, operations of the Civic Auditorium on June 30, 2013. The multidisciplinary advice on land use and real estate issues panel now sees the challenge for the city is to redefine their facing communities in the Los Angeles Region. For many vision for the Civic Auditorium and make it a reality. years, the Civic Auditorium was one of the largest concert venues in Southern California. International artists, such as The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium is the the Doors, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, Bob Hope, and Cultural Heart of the City Bob Dylan performed in the main auditorium. It was designed Given the deep sense of civic pride and community to be flexible enough to allow for local community events connection to the building, the panel recommends the or large concert performances. But, with the lack of capital preservation and restoration of the Civic Auditorium. The Santa Monica Civic investment in the facility, and years of deferred maintenance, ULI Los Angeles Technical Assistance Panel recommends Auditorium, primary most concerts and events prefer to contract with newer, the City of Santa Monica “set the dream” – to renovate the (north) elevation, looking southeast. state-of-the-art venues in the Los Angeles area. The majority theatre as a cultural icon for posterity. More than 43% of Santa Monica adults make all, or a portion of their living in arts-related fields. This factor points to a major opportunity for a type of development that taps into the desire for something for the community. The City of Santa Monica can establish a cultural center – performing arts, visual arts, and more importantly, a special place for the Westside - where the city can demonstrate it is a leading place for culture, for all the arts. The city should aspire for a renovated Civic Auditorium that can qualitatively compete with downtown and other regional venues. The panel believes that any future for the Civic Auditorium will require major financial commitments; harmonious, appropriately-scaled development; improvements to the operating model; and the generation of other sources of revenue, through the sale of naming rights or general obligation bonds. 2 Santa Monica Civic Auditorium Technical Assistance Panel Programming and Management The Civic Auditorium exists in a highly competitive, fluid market environment, which will require a distinct market position in order to succeed. Successful facility management demands extensive knowledge, expertise and creativity. A modern, well-managed facility can capture concerts, Broadway shows, family shows, filming, award shows, local events, graduations, and local performances. Additional event opportunities for revenue are available, through the booking of tradeshows, conventions, consumer shows, meetings, outdoor parking lot events, and banquets and receptions. Consideration should be given to a public non-profit considered feasible within the market. The panel suggests the Santa Monica Civic management model, to be explored for the operation and Auditorium marquee Civic Auditorium set fees to cover costs, be priced within the management of the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. This displaying upcoming industry norm, and be managed to industry standards. events. model will allow the city to maintain budget authority and to elect the governing board. The governing board oversees the management and sets policy. The Facility Manager is Set the Dream The Civic Auditorium needs to be a state-of-the-art facility in charge of day-to-day operations and implements the that is flexible enough to be an ideal venue for drama, policy.

Reiff, Chair This dissertation provides a new perspective to apply in the study of metropolitan development at the turn of 20th Century America. It reveals a group of entrepreneurial men whose collective contribution to the real estate industry had just as much to do with shaping urban spaces as the wealthy, more established, and power-wielding elites that are often credited with such development. Los Angeles is the case study of the dissertation because it underwent such a dramatic transformation during this time period from a small California city to the largest and most important metropolitan region on the West Coast. Key to its growth and expansion were the members of the Los Angeles Realty Board. After organizing in 1903, the members of the board sought to bring legitimacy to their profession, encourage cooperation and fellowship among real estate men, and use their collective power to create a more dynamic business environment for their industry.
