SUBJECT:
River Walk Lease Extension for Rainforest Caf?, Inc.
SUMMARY:

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Ordinance 2006-01-05-39 authorized a River Walk Lease Agreement with Rainforest Caf?, Inc. for the use of 196 square feet of River Walk patio space. The term of the agreement was for five years, commencing January 15, 2006 through January 14, 2011. Ordinance 2010-12-09-1021 authorized an extension through January 14, 2016.
This ordinance will authorize the second extension through January 14, 2021. Rainforest Caf? will pay a rate of $2.25 per square foot per month with an annual increase of 3.0%. This rate was established through a market rate study completed by Valbridge Property Advisors - Dugger, Canaday, Grafe, Inc. in November 2015.
ISSUE:
Approval of this ordinance is consistent with the City's policy of leasing River Walk patio space to adjacent businesses for outdoor dining alongside the San Antonio River.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City may elect not to extend the Agreement, which would result in the Rainforest Caf?'s occupancy becoming at will or terminating.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Rainforest Caf? will pay a rate of $2.25 per square foot per month with an annual increase of 3.0%. The total amount to be received by Rainforest Caf? through January 14, 2021 is shown below.
