TITLE:
title
Approval of Lease Amendment for Northwest Restaurants, Inc.


OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City owns the parcel at 15802 Bear Creek Parkway and leases the property to Northwest Restaurants, Inc. (NWR), which operates a Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) restaurant at the location. The lease is currently operating on a year-to-year basis and will expire on June 30, 2026, if no additional 1-year options are exercised. NWR's franchise agreement with KFC requires NWR plan and perform capital improvements on the property; however, NWR will forego improvements without a long-term lease. The proposed lease amendment revises the terms to two five-year periods, along with four five-year options. The profit-sharing portion of the original lease is maintained.

The lease amendment switches from a CPI-U based rate escalator to a fixed rate, providing more predictable revenues and expenses for both parties. Prior lease terms are kept, including the annual 6% profit share after deduction of annual rent expenses.


OUTCOMES:
Upon amending the lease, the property will remain occupied, and the City will continue to receive revenue from the lease and the profit-sharing agreement. NWR will also move forward with capital improvement planning to upgrade the building and property.
