Title
GENERAL SERVICES - APPROVE AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE AGREEMENT WITH PADRES L.P. FOR PARKING IN THE JAMES R. MILLS BUILDING PARKING STRUCTURE AND NOTICE OF EXEMPTION (DISTRICT: 1)
Body
OVERVIEW
The James R. Mills Building and parking structure, located at 1255 Imperial Avenue, San Diego is currently owned by the San Diego Regional Building Authority (SDRBA), a joint powers agency composed of the County of San Diego (County) and the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS). On January 30, 2007 (10), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved a lease between Padres L.P. (Padres) and the County, together with MTS and SDRBA, for 300 parking spaces and subsequently approved a first amendment to the lease on May 21, 2019 (12) to clarify terms and collect back rent owed by Padres. The period for the Padres to exercise their option to extend the term of the lease has been increased to allow time for an amendment to be negotiated.
County, MTS, and Padres have negotiated a second amendment to the lease that increases the per parking space rental rate and reduces the base number of parking spaces. Today's request is for Board approval of the amended and restated lease agreement.
RECOMMENDATION(S)
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

2. Approve and authorize the Director, Department of General Services, or designee, to execute the proposed amended and restated lease for the premises located at 1255 Imperial Avenue, San Diego. (4 VOTES)
EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT
It is anticipated that the proposed lease amendment with the Padres will have a positive impact on the community as it supports the Health and Human Services Agency's operations, which ensures access for all through a fully optimized health and social service delivery system.
