TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO A LEASE WITH PSP RENTAL CO., A CALIFORNIA
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, FOR A PROPERTY AT 2777 NORTH PALM CANYON DRIVE,
KNOWN AS THE PALM SPRINGS VISITORS CENTER
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Amendment No. 1 to a lease with PSP
Rental Co., a California Limited Partnership, for a property at 2777 North Palm Canyon
Drive, known as the Palm Springs Visitors Center, for a period not to exceed one year
SUMMARY:
This lease is an extension of the City's lease on the Palm Springs Visitors Center at 2777
North Palm Canyon Drive. The City originally entered a lease on the property on October
25, 1990 ("Original Lease"), and entered a new lease in October, 1997. The most recent
lease was for a period of seven years,with the gross monthly rental of$2,250 per month.
After several months of negotiation with the property owner, he feels that he needs to
make a market-rate rent on the property, which is $5,000 per month. The owner also
sought a new five year lease.
The City has determined that its long-term strategy is to own a facility in the area that
better fits its needs. The Council will also be asked to approve an Assignment of an
Agreement for Purchase and Sale, as well as an Assignment of Lease, with Burnett
Development Company to purchase the nearby Tramway Gas Station. However, it would
take approximately a year to renovate the building, so the City sought a one-year
extension of the current lease. The proposed lease is at $5,000 per month, from
November 1, 2002 to October 31, 2003. That should give the City sufficient time to meet
its long-term objectives. PSP will not have to pay for a number of requested property
improvements as part of the renewal, including new bathroom flooring and fixtures and
repairs to the plumbing and electrical systems, given the short lease duration.
