BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The recommended action will amend an existing revenue Lease Agreement, No. 96-741 to extend the term of the lease with Virginia Dare Winery Business Centre Owners Association Inc. (VDW) by five years for the period of October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2025, following a permitted nine-month holdover with District consent for the period of January 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, adjust the lease rental rate schedule, and update standard lease agreement language for the use approximately 7,380 square feet of District-owned land along the Deer Creek Channel for a parking lot, landscaping and fence line in the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
On August 6, 1996 (Item No. 30), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved a five-year Lease Agreement, No. 96-741 (Agreement), with four five-year options to extend the term of the lease, with VDW for the use of 7,380 square feet of District land in Rancho Cucamonga for use as a parking lot and landscaped area and a fence line in Rancho Cucamonga. The original term of the Agreement was for the period of January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1998. In the 24 years since the Agreement was originally approved, the Board has approved four amendments extending the term of the lease through December 31, 2019, adjusting the rent schedule with an increase at each extension, adding three additional five-year options to extend the term of the lease, and updating standard lease agreement language.

The District requested the Real Estate Services Department (RESD) to prepare an amendment as a result of VDW’s exercise of its first of three available five-year option extensions. RESD conducted a market survey of comparable unimproved land and determined the rent should increase. Extended negotiations regarding the rent increase and other provisions of the amendment delayed agreement of the terms of the amendment and on January 1, 2020, the Agreement went into a permitted holdover. VDW has continued to occupy the leased area and abide by the provisions of the Agreement. Approval of Amendment No. 5 to the Agreement will extend the term of the lease five-years for the period of October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2025, following a permitted nine-month holdover for the period of January 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, adjust the rental rate schedule, and update the standard lease agreement language for the use of approximately 7,380 square feet of District-owned land along Deer Creek Channel in Rancho Cucamonga. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain unchanged.
Staff has reviewed the recommended action pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that it does not constitute a project. Accordingly, no further action is required under CEQA.
