EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has an existing master lease with RDR Properties, LLC (RDR or Lessee) for the premises located at 100 (A-L) Fisherman's Wharf on the Redondo Beach Pier. Under the terms of the lease, RDR retains the rights to negotiate direct subleases to occupy the various tenant spaces and the City retains the right to consent to all subleases. RDR has requested the City consent to an amendment to the sublease with Dong Kyu Park and Sung Eun Lee (Sublessee), dba Jade Snow, located at 100 "B" Fisherman's Wharf (Sublease Premises). Jade Snow has been in operation at the site since 2015 as a coffee shop and bakery selling espresso drinks, pastries, and specialty shaved ice desserts. Approval of the request for consent would expand the Sublease Premises to include Unit "A" of 100 Fisherman's Wharf for a lease term ending on March 31, 2032. The units will remain as separate tenant spaces under one common sublessee. Jade Snow intends to open a gelato shop within the newly acquired Unit "A". It is recommended that the City Council approve the consent and allow for execution of the proposed sublease amendment.
