ATTACHMENT A REVOCABLE LICENSE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH AND FARM AND CRAFT MARKET INC FOR TEMPORARY USE OF CITY PROPERTY FOR THE CORONA DEL MAR COMMUNITY MARKET THIS REVOCABLE LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR TEMPORARY USE OF CITY PROPERTY FOR A COMMUNITY MARKET ("License") is made and entered into as of this 23rd day of September, 2025 ("Effective Date"), by and between the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, a California municipal corporation and charter city ("City"), and FARM AND CRAFT MARKET INC, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation ("Licensee"), and is made with reference to the following: RECITALS A. City is a municipal corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of California with the power to carry on its business as it is now being conducted under the statutes of the State of California and the Charter of the City. B. Licensee desires to use City property for purposes of operating a weekly community market offering certified farmers' market products, pre -packaged goods, food and beverage products, craft products, services and related activities ("Community Market"). C. A certified farmers' market is defined by the California Code of Regulations as a location approved by the county agricultural commissioner of the county where agricultural products are sold by producers or certified producers directly to consumers or to individuals, organizations, or entities that subsequently sell or distribute the products directly to end users. A certified farmers' market may only be operated by one or more certified producers, by a nonprofit organization, or by a local government agency (3 CCR § 1392.2(a)). D. Licensee is a producer and has operated a certified farmers' market, in accordance with the Food and Agriculture Code Section 47000 et seq. (implementing regulations) and California Code of Regulations, Title 3, Section 1392, et seq. (hereinafter "Certified Farmers' Market") in Newport Beach since 1996. E. Licensee represents that it has the requisite specialized skills, knowledge, and experience to organize and operate certified farmers' markets, as well as special events held in conjunction with or adjacent to community markets offering food, beverages, and related services. This includes experience collaborating with certified and experienced organizations, vendors, and service providers (collectively, "Vendors"). F. In accordance with City Council Policy F-7, whenever an open bid process is not conducted prior to entering a license agreement for City property, the City shall make specific findings setting forth the reasons thereof. The City finds that converting the property to another use, or changing its licensee, would result in excessive vacancy that outweighs potential financial benefits. Furthermore, the property provides an essential or unique community service that likely wouldn't exist if full market value were required. G. In consideration of the mutual promises and obligations contained in this License, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, City hereby grants to Licensee the revocable right to temporarily occupy and use the License Area, and Licensee accepts the same on the following terms and conditions.
