TO: Members of the Newport Beach City Council
FROM: Dave Kiff, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Lease Agreements with the Lido Isle Community Association (LICA) for
Antibes Marina and Bayfront Lettered Lots
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Authorize Mayor Noyes to execute the Antibes Marina Lease and the Bayfront
Lettered Lot Lease on behalf of the City.
SUMMARY: There are 13 parcels on Lido Isle that are owned by the City and leased to the
Lido Isle Community Association (LICA). The parcels include street end parks,
beaches, dry boat storage areas, and a marina. The lease for these parcels - first
entered into in 1975 - expires on April 15, 2000.
On April 12,1999, the City Council approved two lease proposals with LICA that
divided the premises described in the 1975 Lease into two separate leases. The
Council approved these leases unanimously. Subsequently, both City staff and
representatives of LICA have agreed that the two leases deserved further
refinement - some of which are significant. The significant changes include:
• Removal of two tidelands parcels (Parcels B and C) from the Bayfront
Lettered Lots Lease. These parcels would remain under City administration.
• Authorization for the City Manager to direct the adjustment of signs in the
Lido Isle Street End Parks that direct visitors away from the landscaped
portion of the parks.
There are NO changes proposed to the Leases' terms (25 years), the rental rates,
the insurance and hold harmless requirements, base rent inflator, or other
substantive components of the leases as agreed to by Council on April 12,1999.
The rental rate was (and remains):
• Antibes Marina Lease -- 30% of the annual gross receipts from the rental of
the wet slips in the Antibes Marina OR $20,000 per year "base rent,
whichever is higher." Base rent goes up by 10% every 5 years.
• Bayfront Lettered Lots Lease - No rent in exchange for maintaining the lots
at the current high level of maintenance.
For additional information about these Leases, the Staff Report from the
Council's April 12,1999 meeting is attached as Attachment C. The Leases as
proposed to be adopted are Attachments A (Antibes Marina) and B (Bayfront
Lettered Lots).

agreed to provide comprehensive general liability insurance, Lessee shall
look solely to its insurance for recovery. Lessee hereby grants to Lessor, on
behalf of any insurer providing comprehensive general and automotive
liability insurance to either Lessee or Lessor with respect to the services of
Lessee herein, a waiver of any right of subrogation which any such insurer of

under such insurance.

ITEM _
6 9
TO: Members of the Newport Beach City Council
FROM: Dave Kiff, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Lease Agreements with the Lido Isle Community Association (LICA) for
Street End Parks, Marina, and Beaches on Lido Isle
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
BRIEF
SUMMARY:
(1) Approve proposed leases with the Lido Isle Community Association,
including one lease for approximately $31,500 per year and one lease
where "rent" is LICAN park maintenance obligations;
(2) Per Council Policy F -7, find that the City may enter into a lease lower than
the projected rental value of an appraisal for a specified reason; and
(3) Adopt Resolution 99 -_ relating to the findings and the two lease
agreements with LICA.
The Lido Isle Community Association (LICA) today pays $7,800 per year to lease
13 parcels (including street end parks, beaches, two dry boat storage areas, and a
marina) from the City. This 25 -year lease expires on April 14, 2000.
According to a recent appraisal, LICA should pay the City $4706 per year to
lease the properties. In a key assumption, the appraisal assumes that the
appropriate park maintenance costs for the street end parks and beaches are 50%
less than LICA pays today. As a result, the appraisal does not consider about
$50,000 per year of LICA's current park maintenance costs. LICA members
argue that LICA should not be "punished" for choosing to care for the parks at a
high level.
In an attempt to forge a compromise, Council Member Ridgeway has met with
LICA and has reached concurrence on a new lease structure that would include
two leases as described below:
. A marina tease with rent set at 30% of the marinas gross receipts OR a
$2000 per year "base rent,' whichever is higher. NOTE: Using this
formula, the marina lease rent would be about $31,500/year in 1998 -99.
• A lease for the street end parks, beaches, and dry storage areas with no
rent. In exchange for no rental charge, LICA would have to maintain the
parcels at lease at the current high level of maintenance.
In effect, this compromise gives LICA additional consideration for what it pays
in park maintenance costs. It also reflects an appropriate standard (30% of Gross
Receipts) for marina rent payments baywide.
Newport Beach City Council
Page 2
BACKGROUND: As a part of its income property inventory, the City holds title to the street end
parks, beaches, and marina of Lido Isle. These parcels, which total 219,004 •
square feet, include:
• Walkways (23,062 square feet)
• Landscaped 'Street End" Parks (37,344 square feet)
• Beach Areas (113,738 square feet)
• Marina Area (12,673 square feet)
• Dry Boat Storage Areas (32,142 square feet)
In April 1975, the City leased these properties to the Lido Isle Community
Association (LICA) for $3,700 per year (with an inflation adjustment). The lease
payment is now $7,880 per year. The 1975 Lease expires on April 14, 2000. For
planning purposes (especially relating to the capital expenses that LICA expects
to incur to upgrade the marina), LICA has asked to negotiate a new lease prior to
the termination of the current lease.
Council Policy F -7
Council Policy. The City Council's Policy F -7 (Income Properties) directs the
City to "continually evaluate the potential of all City-owned property to
produce revenue. This may include leasing unused land, renting vacant
space, establishing concessions in recreation areas or other similar
techniques.' The Policy further directs the City that "whenever possible the
City shall conduct an open bid or proposal process to insure the highest
financial return..." in order to help "...determine the highest and best use of
the property."
Specific finding required
Policy F -7 also states that, 'whenever less than the open market or appraised
when appraised value
value is received or when an open bid process is not conducted, the City shall
•
not accepted...
make specific findings setting forth the reasons thereof.. Such findings may
include but need not be limited to the following:
a) The City is prevented by tideland grants, Coastal Commission
guidelines or other restrictions from selling the property or converting
it to another use.
b) Redevelopment of the property would require excessive time,
resources and costs which would outweigh other financial benefits.
c) Converting the property to another use or changing the manager,
concessionaire or lessee of the property would result in excessive
vacancy, relocation or severance costs which would outweigh other
financial benefits.
d) Converting residential property to another use or opening residential
leases to competitive bid would create recompensable liabilities and
other inequities for long -term residents.
e) The property provides an essential or unique service to the
community that might not otherwise be provided were full market
value of the property be (sic) required.
Q The property serves to promote other goals of the City such as
affordable housing, preservation of open space or marine related
services.' •
Page 3
BACKGROUND: Appraisal. In late 1997, the City hired William Hansen to conduct an
• (cont'd) appraisal of the value of the Lido Isle street end parks, beaches, and marina.
Hansen submitted the completed appraisal in March 1998. In his appraisal,
Hansen assigns a yearly rental value of $47,000 to the leased premises.
To achieve this valuation, Hansen...
Appraisal O Determined the economic land rent (rent associated with an economic activity
Methodology like slip and dry storage space rental) by...
Estimating the gross income from wet slip rentals: $100,320
Adding the estimated gross income from dry slip rentals: 109,836
Total Effective Gross
Taking 25% of the Slip Space effective gross: $ 25480
Taking 20% of the Dry Storage effective gross: 2,9967
Economic Rent for Dry and Wet 9, 2947
• Determined the rental value of passive open space (parks and beaches) by...
Valuing passive open space at 30% of value of active open space: $686,305
Assigning an B% rate of return on that value: 54,904
Estimating LICA's annual open space maintenance expenses: $111,500
Assuming that the City would maintain it at half the cost: 55.750
Subtracting $55,750 from $54,904 to get: -0-
Indicated rental value of passive open space: -0-
A Combined the economic rental value of the premises with the rental value of
the passive open space by...
Adding (rounded the economic land rental value: $ 47,000
to the indicated rental value of the passive open space: _0-
. To get the Annua: Rental Value for the leased premises $ 47'000
Please note that Hansen offers LICA a 50% "credit" for its maintenance costs by
arguing that the City, if it were to take over the parks, would maintain them "at a
significantly lover level than the historical high level of the Community
Association."' This 50% credit may or may not be appropriate - it can be argued
that LICA should be afforded a higher credit for its maintenance expenses and
should not be "punished" for keeping the parks well - manicured.
Modification to the Determining What's "Fair.' Given the subjective nature of the maintenance
Appraisal... credit and the large difference between LICA's lease expense today and the
proposed lease value assigned by Mr. Hansen, City staff and Council Member
Ridgeway have met with LICA representatives to attempt to reach a supportable
consensus.
As a result, LICA and Council Member Ridgeway have concluded that two
separate leases - one that addresses the wet slip marina at Via Antibes and
another that covers the street end parks, beaches, and dry storage areas - might
be an appropriate compromise. Summaries of the proposed lease agreements
follow on the next page.
