City of Fullerton
Opinion of Value – Restaurant Patio Rent Reset

This report is based upon our preliminary estimate of the City of Fullerton’s request to evaluate rent pricing for restaurant patio space throughout the city.

The following report details current rent structures that were established in 2012 and todays reset values given Consumer Price Index (CPI) up until 2022.

The report also includes the City of Fullerton’s Outdoor Dining Guidelines and Outdoor Dining Application.

The attached information is believed to be accurate and reliable, but due to the preliminary nature of our inves- tigation and the complexity of the issues involving restaurant revenues and health ratios (profitability), certain generalities have been utilized based on our experience.

Avison Young, on behalf of the City of Fullerton has devoted a great deal of energy and resources in compiling the enclosed report. It is our request that the enclosed information be kept strictly confidential and used solely for the benefit of City of Fullerton.

12 The Consumer
Price Index

The CPI is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of goods and ser- vices which are of primary consumer need. They include transportation, food, and medical care.

CPI is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them based on their relative weight in the whole basket. The prices in consideration are the retail prices of each item, as available for purchase by the individual citizens.

Changes in the CPI are used to assess price changes associated with the cost of living, making it one of the most frequently used statistics for identifying periods of inflation or deflation. In the U.S., the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the CPI on a monthly basis and has calculated it as far back as 1913.

The letter should also acknowledge that the landlord understands that he/she will be held equally liable per the terms of the agreement and will be required to execute the Standard Outdoor Dining - Encroachment Agreement.

2. Application Review Process
The review process for the Standard Outdoor Dining application package will be the following:
a. The business owner/operator and the property owner shall submit a completed Application package to Engineering. b. Engineering will review the Application package for completeness. Upon review of the completed Application, Engineering will:
i. Review the plans for compliance with the adopted Standard Outdoor Dining Guidelines, or; ii. Reject the request.

Submittal Requirements (continued)
City of Fullerton | Broker Opinion of Value
16 Submittal Requirements (continued)
i. Upon receipt of the Encroachment Agreement Application and processing fee, the City will prepare a Standard Outdoor Dining Encroachment Agreement (herein after, Agreement). All outdoor dining areas (regardless of exclusivity/fencing) will require an Agreement. i. Engineering will determine the leasable area and the lease rate for the outdoor dining area subject to the Agreement.

1. Leasable Area
The area of use through the process may, or may not, include fencing or other approved means that effectively restrict or discourage the public from using the space. In general, the leasable area will be defined by the perimeter of the outdoor dining area, including any path(s) of travel by the public through the seating area as delineated on the site plan submitted as part of the Application Package. Engineering will use discretion in determining leasable area to account for practical considerations such as trees and other obstructions.

2. Lease Rates
Applicants have the option of monthly or annual billing of lease fees, option must be selected at the time of application.

Monthly/annual lease rates are to be waived for restaurants with outdoor dining on public property of less than 100 s.f. and without alcohol service. However, an encroachment agreement, subject to the processing fee is required to secure indemnification and other liability safeguards for the City. Lease rates are subject to change and are established as part of the current Council adopted fee schedule.

3. Parking Revenue Loss
If the outdoor dining area is located within a City owned paid parking lot/structure, the applicant will be responsible for any parking revenue loss incurred by the City. For example, in 2022 the paid parking program required a flat rate of $5/space on Thursday, Friday, & Saturday from 9pm – 1am. Therefore, the applicant would be billed an additional$60/month for each parking stall utilized for outdoor dining. The monthly rate per stall is subject to change based on the program parameters at the time the Agreement is up for renewal. ii. A fully refundable restoration deposit will be required prior to execution of the Agreement. The restoration deposit is established by Council as part of the current Council adopted fee schedule. The actual restoration fee will be determined at the time of restoration by the Director of Public Works.

Restoration deposits may be transferable at the Director of Public Works discretion. iii. The Applicant shall maintain the required liability and liquor liability (if applicable) insurance as defined in the Agreement. The limits of liability for the required insurance are subject to change in accordance with the City’s minimum limit requirements in effect at the time of renewal of said coverage.
j. The City will provide a final copy of the Agreement for signature by the business owner/operator and property owner. k. Upon review and acceptance of the fully executed Agreement, Engineering will prepare and issue an Encroachment Permit to the Applicant to ensure construction/installation of the outdoor dining area is per the approved site plan and terms of the Agreement.
