SUBJECT:
Lease Agreements in Historic La Villita
SUMMARY:
This ordinance authorizes the renewal of 14 existing lease agreements within La Villita and the approval of a new lease agreement with Yolanda C. Luna d/b/a Yolix Luna to occupy Building 17.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In July 2014, the City of San Antonio released an RFP for several buildings within La Villita. The intent of the RFP was to seek tenants that would enhance cultural tourism opportunities, promote greater community use, and highlight the artistic and historic aspects of La Villita. The lease agreement provided for two, two-year renewal options with the exception of La Villita Caf?, which has one, two-year renewal option remaining.
City Council also authorized lease agreements with Liz Leatherbury d/b/a Bird & Pear for Building 10 in June 2017, and Karla Benavides d/b/a Huipil Market for Building 7 in June 2019; those leases expire on June 30, 2020, with two, one-year renewal options.
The following table identifies the leases to be renewed under this ordinance, and the corresponding extension of the lease term.
