The new licensed area is 190,238 square feet; the previous licensed area was 172,480 square feet. The initial rent is $15,141 per year plus a 5% annual increase for a total contract value of $83,664. The new five-year license agreement will replace the soon to be expired three-year license agreement.

COUNCIL POLICY CONSIDERATION:
The License is consistent with the City Council's goals to maintain fiscal responsibility and stability and to support and promote the quality of life and local economy.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The City's continued licensing of 3100 E. Orange Grove Boulevard is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Title 14, Chapter 3, Article 19, Class 1, Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). This exemption applies to the continued operation of existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use. The continued operation for the proposed terms will result in negligible expansion of the existing use. Further, there are no features on this property that distinguish this project from others in the exempt classes, and therefore, there are no unusual circumstances. 3100 E. Orange Grove Boulevard
