CAO RECOMMENDATION: 1) Direct staff to prepare a lease agreement with the San Luis Obispo Little Theater; and 2) Adopt resolution establishing policies for long-term use of City property by non-profit organizations. BACKGROUND For several years San Luis Obispo Little Theater has been seeking a new home. SLOLT now leases facilities at San Luis Obispo Junior High on a month-to-month basis, and faces an uncertain future at that location. In April 1988, SLOLT submitted a request to the City to begin negotiations for the lease of City property for the construction of a new theater. The City has long supported development of a small theater in the downtown. In 1987, the results of a Performing Arts Facility study by Hall Goodhue Haisley and Barker (HGHB) were presented to Council. The consultant identified a need for a large, 1500-seat theater and a smaller, 300-seat theater within City limits. Subsequently, the City has entered into a Joint Powers agreement with Cal Poly State University and with a private, non-profit foundation to build the large theater on the Cal Poly campus. SLOLT's proposal will meet some of the needs for a small downtown theater. After considering several possible theater sites, the Council voted to support lease of City property at 1010 Nipomo Street (transmission shop) in September 1988. In addition, Council directed staff to come back with a policy statement for joint participation in project development between the City and other interested organizations. Councilmembers are being asked to approve a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) as a preliminary step toward leasing the site to the Little Theater. The Agreement establishes the terms and conditions of a future lease, and would serve as a pre-lease agreement during SLOLT's fundraising and planning efforts. A preliminary site plan has been submitted for Council review, and SLOLT anticipates entering a lease and breaking ground in about two years, with construction to take an additional year. Using conservative time estimates for design, planning, and construction, the theater opening is slated for October 1992. At its September 19th hearing, councilmembers approved a request to remodel the existing building for a Children's Museum as an interim use at this site. SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS Current value of this city-owned property is approximately $325,000. As proposed, the City would subsidize the theater through below-market rent. In return, SLOLT will operate the theater so that it is available for other community groups, and for city-sponsored events. Construction, operation, and maintenance costs would be borne entirely by San Luis Obispo Little Theater. The City would receive a lease revenue of $100 per month, plus ten percent of the gross revenue received by SLOLT for any sublease of the facility. �_ / y 11111191111 city of San Luis OBISp0 Wa COUNCIL AGENDA REPOIRT Staff Report Page 2 CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING THE RECOMMENDED ACTION The City is under no obligation to enter into an agreement to lease the property. Before proceeding with schematic design and development review, SLOLT requests a statement of intent or pre-lease agreement from the City. The MOA would meet that request -- it would serve as a mutual statement of intent, and help SLOLT with its planning and fundraising activities. If the City does not approve the MOA, project planning and fundraising may be hampered. PERTINENT DATA Applicant: San Luis Obispo Little Theater Property Owner: City of San Luis Obispo Representative: Deborah Elliott, President, SLOLT Zoning: O General Plan: Offices Site Description Irregularly shaped lot, approximately 13,650 sq. ft. total area, with an existing 6,000 sq. ft. warehouse, formerly used as a transmission repair shop. The site is adjacent to San Luis Obispo Creek, with houses and apartments nearby on Monterey Street, a mortuary across Nipomo to the northwest, and commercial uses to the west across Nipomo and to the south on the opposite side of the creek. The Mission Plaza Extension walkway runs along the south side of the creek, near this site. PREVIOUS REVIEW The HGHB report presented to Council in 1987 recommended the development of a small, multi-purpose theater in the downtown. In September 1988, Council reviewed several possible theater sites and directed staff to work with SLOLT for development of a community theater at 1010 Nipomo Street (minutes attached). The building is used by Parks Maintenance for equipment storage. The site was purchased in 1982 in anticipation of the Mission Plaza Extension, and is included in the conceptual development plans for phase 2 of the extension. Concept plans for phase 2 were never formally adopted by the Council, and, other than the temporary Children's Museum, the City has no specific plans for the parcel. POLICY ISSUES Several issues related to the lease of City property were raised in the staff report presented to the Council in September 1988. A key issue was whether the City should commit a city-owned parcel for the exclusive use of a specific non-profit organization. In response, staff has drafted the following polices to guide city actions on this and future requests: 1. Requests or long-term use o Cit 4 f 8- f y property by non-profit organizations should follow the same review procedures as the sale or lease of City property by private for-profit entities. 2 The proposed use of City property should be consistent with the General Plan Land ��� j�ll�lll city of San tins OBispo Emba COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Staff Report Page 3 3. The proposed use of City property should not conflict with or preclude significant existing or planned City uses. 4. Any development or operations directly related to the proposed use should be in the public interest, and provide measurable public benefits. 5. Lease agreements for use of City property by non-profit groups, when such groups are charged below-market lease rates. shall include a provision allowing shared use of the property and improvements by the City and other non-profit community groups. The proposed MOA and subsequent lease would, in staff's view, meet these criteria. SLOLT understands that to proceed with the theater they will need to secure all necessary planning approvals, including a rezoning of the site from Office (0) to Civic Center (C-Q. The Council has already initiated the rezoning as part of its action to approve the Children's Museum. RELATED ISSUES As part of its 1989-1991 work program, Council has funded the acquisition and design of the Fremont Theater Remodel for a downtown performing arts center. Adaptation of the Fremont into a small, 300-seat theater was the HGHB's recommendation as the most viable alternative because of its downtown location, historical and architectural significance, and adaptability to meet a variety of theater needs. Children's Theater and San Luis Obispo Little Theater were considered to be primary users of the remodeled Fremont Theater. Construction of the SLOLT theater at 1010 Nipomo Street will reduce the number of potential users of the remodeled Fremont. The study notes that although the Fremont Theater was not the first choice of the Children's and Little Theaters, they stated that they could accept the facility provided their design, scheduling, and cost concerns could be resolved. LEASE Staff has drafted a Memorandum of Agreement to guide preparation of the ground lease, and assist SLOLT in planning and fundraising. SLOLT agrees with the terms of the draft MOA, and is ready to initiate fundraising, and subsequently, design and planning applications. DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE SLOLT'S Grants and Fundraising Committees have completed much of the necessary groundwork, and have submitted a six-phase, 37-month design, planning and construction schedule (attached). Preliminary architectural design has begun, and a concept site plan is also attached. A fundraising overview is attached, and a schedule of funding sources and projected cashflow for construction and operation will be submitted prior to final Council approval of the lease. Staff intends to work closely with SLOLT throughout the development process and initial operation. �-3 I���► �WIIIII��j����l city of San LUIS OBIspo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Staff Report Page 4 FISCAL IMPACT Estimated value of the property is $325,000, and lease value of the existing warehouse is estimated at $1125 per month. Fiscal impact would involve 1) forgone revenues from possible lease or sale, amounting to $1025 per month over 55 year lease, or $676,500 in current dollars; and 2) opportunity costs of committing the property to this specific purpose. The City would receive $100 per month plus 10°x6 of the gross revenue received by SLOLT from any sub-lease of the facility. The theater may also produce indirect fiscal benefits due to increased retail sales and vistors in the downtown. At the end of the 55 year lease period, the City would own the theater. If SLOLT ceases operation, the City would have the option of buying the theater based on an agreed-upon depreciated cost schedule. If the City chose not to exercise its option, SLOLT would have to sell the theater to a city-approved buyer. ALTERNATIVES 1. Direct staff to prepare a lease agreement with SLOLT based on the attached Memorandum of Agreement, and adopt the recommended policy statement on lease of City property by non-profit groups. The draft lease would then return for Council approval. 2. Direct staff to prepare a lease agreement with SLOLT, but modify the terms and conditions of the MOA as appropriate; and adopt the policy statement with or without changes. 3. Direct staff and SLOLT to consider alternative theater sites, including the Fremont Theater, and return to Council with an updated analysis of possible sites. 4. Take no action at this time, and continue the item to a date uncertain. RECOMMENDATIONS Direct staff to prepare a lease agreement with San Luis Obispo Little Theater based on the attached Memorandum of Agreement; and adopt the draft policy statement on the lease of City property by non-profit groups.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT REGARDING PROVISIONS OF A LEASE OF REAL PROPERTY The parties to this Memorandum of Agreement are the City of San Luis Obispo (herein "City") and San Luis Obispo Little Theatre, a not-for-profit California corporation (herein "SLOLT"). It is represented and affirmed by the undersigned, on behalf of City, that City is the legal owner of property located at 1010 Nipomo Street, in the City of San Luis Obispo. A graphic description of the subject property is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". Further, the City is willing to lease the property referred to above and described in Exhibit "A" to SLOLT. It is represented and affirmed by the undersigned on behalf of SLOLT, that SLOLT has authority to enter into an agreement for the lease of real property. This Agreement is subject to the following mutual findings and conditions: 1. The City wishes to support community-based performing arts groups by encouraging development of live theater facilities in the Downtown. 2. The City considers the development of a not-for-profit community theater on the proposed property to be in the public interest and an appropriate addition to Mission Plaza. 3. SLOLT agrees to lease the subject property and to develop and operate a facility on the proposed site, for the term of the lease, which will serve to meet performing arts needs for the community. The City will have no obligation for development and/or operation of the proposed facility. Any costs incurred for development and operation of facility shall be the sole responsibility of SLOLT. 4. SLOLT agrees to take the property "as is" except for unknown subsurface toxic or hazardous materials which responsibility shall remain with the City. If the cost of any required clean up of the site due to toxic or hazardous materials exceeds $10,000, apportionment of the costs shall be subject to negotiations between the parties. If no accommodation can be reached, at the City's option, the lease would terminate, and the site would be returned to its pre-lease condition less structural improvements, at the sole expense of SLOLT (but not including cost of site clean up). 5. SLOLT will lease the property for forty (40) years beginning with the start of construction and ending forty years later on the anniversary of said date. 6. SLOLT will reserve first right to negotiate an additional term not to exceed fifteen (15) years. SLOLT shall submit any notice of interest in an extended term, one (1) year prior to termination of the base term of the lease agreement. 7. The rental rate shall be fixed at $100 per month plus 10% of the gross amount earned by SLOLT for any sub-lease of the facility. MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT Page 2 8. The City will initiate a General Plan Amendment and rezoning of the property to accommodate this type of use and will make such efforts as are reasonably necessary to accomplish such amendments and rezoning. Other required approvals (e.g., use permit, architectural review) and compliance with zoning and parking requirements, including payment of in-lieu fees or securing offsite parking, shall be the sole responsibility of SLOLT. 9. Except for "acts of God" and mutually agreed upon excusable delays to be delineated in the lease, SLOLT will use due diligence to adhere to the design, planning and construction schedule described in Exhibit "B". The City reserves the right to grant time extensions or to cancel this agreement for failure to progress on this schedule, where failure results from reasons other than those listed above. Said schedule will commence upon approval of this agreement by all parties. 10. If at anytime SLOLT is unable to complete development, the lease will be terminated, and, at the City's option, all improvements will become the property of the City or the site shall be delivered free and clear of all improvements. 11. In the event of early cancellation after completion of construction, the City shall have the option to buy out improvements at the proportional rate of 90% of actual construction costs if cancellation is within the first 5 years, 70% between 6 and 15 years, 50% between 16 and 25 years, and nothing thereafter. If the City chooses not to exercise its option, SLOLT shall sell their improvements to a city-approved successor. 12. A minimum of thirty (30) weeks, annually, of rehearsals and theater performance will be the agreed upon level of operation. If at any time SLOLT is unable to maintain this level of operation, the City may issue a one hundred and twenty (120) - day notice of early cancellation to terminate the lease agreement. 13. The relationship that will exist between the City and SLOLT in this matter will be that of lessor and lessee. Under no circumstance will SLOLT be considered an employee, officer or agent of the City under this agreement or the lease. Conversely, the City is not an agent or extension of SLOLT and is acting solely in its landord capacity. 14. SLOLT may sub-lease the structure and/or property up to a maximum of thirty (30) consecutive days, upon City approval, for uses that are consistent with the performing arts and community purposes of this agreement. 15.

SLOLT will also maintain a performance bond to cover the cost of construction, including materials and labor. 17. SLOLT will agree to indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents and employees from any claims, demands, damages or penalties imposed which may arise from development, construction and operation of the proposed theater facility on City property.

In recognition of the below market lease, SLOLT agrees to make the facilities available without fee to the City for official or City-sponsored uses on four mutually-agreeable days per year. In addition, the City shall have first right of use for uncommitted time periods consistent with the requirements of SLOLT's own use and other provisions of this MOA. , 22. If after three (3) years of the effective date of this agreement, SLOLT cannot demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City that it has raised or otherwise has funds committed to cover eighty percent (80%) of the construction costs of the building and, in no event, less than $1.0 million (in 1989 dollars), then the City shall have the right to terminate or extend this agreement.

Calif., since 1946. The purpose of our organization has always been to provide a forum for people to become involved in the presentation and enjoyment of live theatre, and to provide facilities with which the study of theatre arts and stagecraft are available to all. We are now beginning a fund-raising effort to build a permanent theatre facility (until now, we have worked in various adapted rental spaces). We have signed an agreement with the City of San Luis Obispo for a 40-year lease on a building site in the downtown area of this progressive community, which is the county seat. Conceptual drawings, exterior elevations, and site plans have been prepared.The estimated cost of this full- equipped, 150-seat theatre is $1.2 million. The San Luis Obispo Little Theatre has a membership of active company members, season tickets subscribers, patrons, and friends of over 1500. Our annual operating budget is presently$46,000, with which we produce a total of 60 performances of six works, covering a broad spectrum from classical works, comedy, mystery, to modern musicals, dramas, and production of original full-length scripts. Roughly 70 percent of our operating budget is derived from ticket sales, with the rest being provided through local contributions. We currently have a building fund of $14,000 in seed money. As a part of our fund-raising drive, we would like to apply to obtain funds from your organization in order to make this long-awaited dream of a permanent performing space a reality. If you would kindly foreward your current application materials and any information you feel is relevant, we would be grateful. If you have any questions or concerns, please remit them with the above-requested materials. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely yours, ,r San Luis Obispo Little Theatre, Inc.
