CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 6
May 12, 2009
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Planning Department
Kathlyn Bowden, AICP, Economic Development Coordinator
949 - 644 -3230, kbowden @city.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Corona del Mar Farmers Market License Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Corona del Mar Farmers Market License
Agreement between the City of Newport Beach and Rick Heil, licensee, allowing the
licensee the use of City property for a certified farmers market for a period of five (5)
years.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The Corona del Mar Farmers Market was authorized by the City Council on May 13,
1996 and opened Saturday morning May 18, 1996 in the municipal parking lots at
Marguerite Avenue and Bayside Drive. The market has been open Saturdays from 9:00
a.m. until 1:00 p.m. each week since that time.
The existing Encroachment Agreement between Rick Heil, Operator of the Corona del
Mar Certified Farmers Market, and the City of Newport Beach has operated on a one -
year term since 1996, and has been renewed annually by the City Manager for the past
ten years. The existing agreement is due to expire on May 17, 2009.
Analysis
The City's experience with the Corona del Mar Farmers Market during the past thirteen
years has been favorable. The market managers have abided by the encroachment
agreement, doing more than the minimum requirements to assure the success of the
market. As a result, the Corona del Mar community has continuously and
enthusiastically supported the market.

City staff from the Public Works, General Services, Recreation & Senior Services
Departments and the Revenue Division have been able to work well with the Market
and its operator; and no parking complaints have been reported in the past year of
operation. The Manager has maintained positive relations with the managers of
Bandera restaurant -- immediately adjacent to the Market- -and continues to work with the
restaurant to ensure that cleanliness is maintained for the benefit of both parties.
The City Attorney's Office has ruled that a license agreement. between the City of
Newport Beach and the licensee, Rick Heil, is a more appropriate agreement
mechanism than the 1996 encroachment agreement because it does not give the
licensee a leasehold interest in the land.
SUMMARY:
Staff recommends the approval of the proposed License Agreement as provided in
Attachment A. The new agreement would permit continued operation of the market
through May 12, 2014 with an annual staff review of agreement compliance, insurance
documentation, growers certificates, and agricultural and health permits.
Environmental Review:
Approval of the License Agreement is not a project as defined by CEQA.
Funding Availability:
Not applicable.
