At that time, the property owner revived old plans that called for the rehabilitation of the existing two-story structure. Allowing the property owner to proceed with rehabilitation would prevent the City/Agency from receiving the street and plaza dedications and setbacks as already provided across the street on the Pierside Pavilion project. Further, the owner would be permitted to retain the existing non -conforming second story apartment uses_ Therefore, the Agency directed staff to negotiate an agreement with the property owner that would provide for construction of a new building, eliminate the residential use on the upper floors, provide ground floor retail uses, and yet be an economically viable plan for the Participant to develop. The Council/Agency and staffs first preference was to have commercial on at least the second story. Many were hopeful that one or more Ocean view restaurants could be lured to this prime location. However, the Participant's beliefs would not allow an establishment that would serve alcohol. Having ruled out residential and commercial uses on the upper stories, the City Council settled upon office as a compromise use. Downtown Office Use Analysis - The development of office space in the downtown is critical to redevelopment's long term goals of creating a balance of uses that will complement each other and prove to be economically viable on a year around basis. The development of visitor -serving commercial (e.g., shops, dining, entertainment, theaters, hotels) has been the primary goal of downtown redevelopment. If Huntington Beach's climate were warm and summer like all twelve months of the year, these uses would likely survive on their own lust by means of the city's great beaches drawing millions of people year round. In reality, six to nine months of the year the weather is less than ideal and many of the businesses that thrive in the summer months find it difficult to survive in the off season months. Developing a mix of complimentary uses such as office and multi -family residential provides a population base to patronize these commercial uses on a year round basis. The office population that will patronize the restaurants and shops at lunch time during the week is key to the economical survival for many businesses in the off season. The residential base provides a year round population that will primarily patronize the downtown in the evenings and on the weekends. Office marketing studies in 1991 and to somewhat of a lesser extent today, conclude that Orange County, in general, has simply been over saturated with office space (especially in the vicinity of the airport). Most studies, prior and current, concluded that downtown Huntington Beach is not a convenient location for office uses due to its distance from the ED 94-57 December 19,1994 Page 3 freeway. However, we are hoping to be a draw for those business owners that live in, or near, Huntington Beach or prefer our coastal village environment. With the .ever increasing advances in technology (computers and facsimile machines connected by modem through the telephone lines), many businesses do not rely on personally calling on clients on a day to day basis. Huntington Beach could serve this niche in the market. Should we prove to be wrong on all accounts there is an escape clause in the OPA which allows the Agency to convert the office space to residential after which time the Agency would no longer be required to subsidize the office space. In that case, the Agency is required to pay those additional construction costs needed to convert the second and third floors to a residential use. Guaranteed Rental Rate - In exchange for developing office instead of residential the following financial assistance was negotiated: Section 201(8) of the OPA reads as follows: Differential Rent Payment - In the event City or Agency requires upper -floor commercial use, the Agency will pay the difference, if any, between the rent that Participant is entitled to achieve based on the approved rental agreements for the second floor and one-half of the third floor commercial units and the "Guaranteed Rental Rate", defined on a triple net basis as One Dollar and Fifty-five Cents ($1.55) per square foot as adjusted on an annual basis by the Consumer Price Index or "CPI". The triple net charges are the prorated costs for property taxes, insurance and maintenance. The Agency is therefore obligated to guarantee a minimum lease rate of $1.55 for all of the square footage on the second floor and one half of the third floor: 2nd floor 14,518 SF 112 of 3rd floor 6.082 SF Total 20,600 SF Agency payment of the office subsidy begins in January, 1995. In addition, the Agency will pay triple net costs of 25 cents per square foot until the year 2018. The Core Holdings lease is for 832 square feet located on the third floor facing Main Street at $1.55 per square foot, for a total of $1,289.60 monthly. The Agency will not have to subsidize the base rent because it equals the guaranteed rent of $1.55. The Agency will be liable for the triple net charges in the amount of 25 cents per square foot for a total of $208 monthly, $2,496 annually. Core Holdings has an option for an additional three-year extension at the conclusion of the first term. ED 94-57 December 19, 1994 Page 4 �I City/Agency Benefits - The City and Redevelopment Agency in return have collected fees for building permits, traffic impact fees and parking in -lieu fees in excess of $117,000 (plus $13,000 in school fees). Once the parcel has been totally reassessed it is anticipated the value will have increased by more than 3 million dollars creating an increase of the Agency's tax increment by $44,000 per year. The total construction cost for the project was approximately 4.3 million dollars. The participant paid the first 1.3 million dollars with the Agency loaning the balance of 3.0 million at an interest rate of 7% fully amortized over 15 years. In addition to repayment of the principal loan of $3 million, the Agency will be paid $1.85 million in interest payments. Additionally, the Oceanview Promenade project with its award winning traditional Mediterranean design, wide sidewalks and plaza areas complements the Pierside Pavilion project, while completing the gateway to the downtown.

Tenant's payment of increased Operating Costs shall be prorated for any partial calendar year on a per diem basis in any reasonable manner selected by Landlord.

Such costs may include, but are not limited to, administrative, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage -or trust deed covering the premises.

The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. (c) Following each second consecutive late payment of rent, Landlord shall have the option (i) to require that beginning with tre first payment of rent next due, rent shall no longer be paid in monthly installments but shall be payable quarterly three (3) months in advance and/or (ii) to require that 'tenant increase the amount, if any, of the security deposit required under Section 3.2 ' as listed in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions by one hundred percent (100t), which additional security deposit shall be retained py Landlord, and may be applied by Landlord, in the manner provided ; in Section 3.2.
