DATE: May 21, 2014 CONSENT AGENDA
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO SIGNATURE FLIGHT SUPPORT LEASE
AGREEMENT A4821 WITH SIGNATURE FLIGHT SUPPORT
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: AIRPORT
SUMMARY
This action would allow for Palm Springs International Airport tenant, Signature Flight
Support to lease a vacant aircraft hangar and modify leasehold parcel boundaries.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Amendment No. 5 of Agreement No. A4821 with Signature Flight
Support for the long term lease of the aircraft hangar and apron located on
Parcel 5 (Exhibit A attached), and release undeveloped, underutilized leasehold
parcels back to the airport, commencing on June 1, 2014.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents as required.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Signature Flight Support is a Fixed Base Operator (FBO), conducting business on the
Palm Springs International Airport under a long term lease which extends through 2044.
This leasehold consists of fourteen different parcels dispersed over a third of a mile in
the West quadrant of airport property abutted by El Cielo and East Alejo roads. The
nucleus of the Signature Flight Support property is a general aviation terminal complex
and apron located adjacent to the new FAA Air Traffic Control tower.
There exists a number of airport controlled parcels mixed within the large Signature
leasehold area. One of the most prominent parcels is a large 30,000 square foot
aircraft hangar recently vacated by a corporate tenant Heckman Enterprises. This
Parcel includes hangar facilities, apron, and adjacent vehicle parking which are in
excellent condition and well suited for use by Signature Flight Support's operations.

Amendment No. 5 Signature Flight Support Lease A4821
In addition to interest in the vacant corporate hangar, Signature Flight Support and staff
have identified other leasehold parcels that either do not have taxiway access or have
not been developed since the inception of their lease. Under this amendment, these
identified parcels will be surrendered by Signature and returned to the airport's control
for future development plans. The following exhibit illustrates all of the parcels involved
in this lease amendment. {{

Under the amendment, Signature Flight Support would rent the vacant corporate hangar
(Parcel 5), including the aircraft apron and vehicle parking lot, for the remainder of their
long term lease. The facility would be used for storage of transient and based aircraft
and Signature would have full responsibility for the maintenance and operation under a
triple net basis. The airport would not have any financial obligation and the tenant
accepts the facility in the current condition.
The lease amendment will include the return of three parcels, outlined above in green,
and the two easement areas highlighted in purple. All of these parcels will
accommodate future development of airport facilities including the terminal car rental
facilities and potential expansion of non-aeronautical businesses.

Amendment No. 5 Signature Flight Support Lease A4821
FISCAL IMPACT:
With the vacant hangar incorporated into the long-term Signature lease, the rental
generated to the airport from Parcel 5 will be $12,684 per month compared to the prior
tenant's $4,497.50 per month. The rental rates will then escalate predicated on
consumer price indexing. In addition to rent, there are other concession revenues
generated by the FBO customers as a percentage of gross sales on services ranging
from aircraft parking to fuel sales, and various other services.
The return of vacant undeveloped parcels reduces Signature's current leasehold rent
obligations by $4,311 per month. However, this same property is projected to generate
higher rents in future due to the land rates being adjusted to current market values. The
car rentals expansion, which is on the near horizon, will also generate higher revenues
from what is already the airport's single largest revenue source.
