TO: Mayor and city Council " FROM: city staff SUBJECT: Recommendation to Authorize the City Manager to Renegotiate and Execute a Lease with pioneer Boulangerie for Use of city-owned Property INTRODUCTION This report recommends that City council authorize the City Manager to renegotiate and execute a lease agreement with the pioneer Boulangerie for the use of City property for parking purposes. BACKGROUND In 1981, the city entered into a 7 year agreement with Pioneer Boulangerie for the lease of City property for parking. The leased property is a narrow strip on the east side of Nielson Way between Bay and Bicknell Streets varying in width from 3 to 25 feet. The City originally acquired the property as part of a plan to widen Neilson Way, but later decided not to proceed with the proj ect . Because of its small size, the parcel cannot be used for other purposes. Under the terms of the original lease agreement, Pioneer Boulangerie made approximately $9,000 worth of improvements to the property in landscaping and construction of a public sidewalk, the cost of Which was offset against the lease payment. Rent was set at $250 per month with an annual adjusted increase - 1 - (,-:r SEP 1 91988 ~ . . based on the Consumer price Index. The current rent is $487.17 per month. Although the term has expired, the contract has continued on a month-to-month basis while staff determined the property's fair market value. staff evaluated the lease agreement based on current market values for land and rental costs for parking in this area of Santa Monica. A rental agreement of $950 per month with an annual adjusted increase based on changes in the Consumer Price Index was determined to be an equitable compensation for the property. This amount was arrived at by first calculating the number of usable parking spaces which could be made available for the public on the parcel (19 spaces). This number of potential parking spaces was then multiplied by the current monthly permit parking rate for the city's Main street parking lots ($50jmonth) which results in a $950 per month lease amount. A 5 year lease will not preclude City plans for use of the property to widen Nielson Way at some point in the future. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT Assuming execution of the lease effective November 1, 1989 under the terms described above, revenues in account 43-500-401-00000-0077-10000 will increase by $3,703 for FY89-90. RECOMMENDATION ~ It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to renegotiate and execute a five-year lease agreement with Pioneer Boulangerie for use of City property at $11,400 per - 2 - ~ ~ . . year with an adjusted increase based on changes in the Consumer Price Index.
