"City- Dated: The City of Palm Springs, a California Charter City By: le David Ready, City Ma r APPROVED AS TO FORM: ATT'O:.' a��0 By: By: Douglas Holland James Thompson City Attorney City Clerk "Owner' Vence Ventures, LLC Dated: By Its V N CITY OF PALM SPRINGS ,r Cg411:0 % REMODEL INCENTIVE AGREEMENT THIS INCENTIVE GRANT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into this gT*day of by and between the City of Palm Springs, ("City"), and Vence Ventures, LLC ("Owner'). Collectively the City and Owner are referred to as the Parties. RECITALS A. City has established a number of Remodel Grant Programs and other incentive programs for Owners and Tenants of commercial-retail businesses in the City of Palm Springs to promote economic activity during the recession and the subsequent slow economic recovery. B. Owner is the owner of real property located at 200 South Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, ("Property"), and owner of the business occupying the Property known as LULU California Bistro. C. The Property has been vacant for more than two years and is in considerable disrepair, and Owner proposes to spend over $1,000,000 in renovating and furnishing the restaurant. D. Owner has demonstrated that the additional costs of expediting the remodel of the Property by May 31 would be nearly $300,000 above the baseline remodel costs to make interior improvements to the Property as described in Exhibit "B," Scope of Work, by the end of the 2011 calendar year. E. Given the additional expense of expediting and the opening so close to the slower summer season, there exists considerable disincentive to move quickly at increased expense to open the restaurant sooner. F. The City desires to enter this Agreement is to maintain the positive momentum in downtown, as well as see the creation of the jobs earlier in the year, rather than waiting until December. Opening sooner also gives the City an additional six months of new sales tax from the business which will offset a portion of the incentive payment. G. Prior to any disbursement under the terms of this Agreement, Owner shall apply for and receive all necessary approvals from the City's Planning, Building or Engineering Departments, which are shown in Exhibit "C", Evidence of Approval, and shall have completed work on the Property sufficient to receive a Certificate of Occupancy. The business shall be open and operating. 781607.1 ORIGINAL BID AND/OR AGREEMENT H.
