Staff Report to Council
DATE: Monday, March 4, 2024 DEPARTMENT: Administration SUBJECT: Nolan Riding Lease Agreement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City has the opportunity to lease the remaining available office space on the upper floor of the Jordie Lunn Bike Park Clubhouse (the “Clubhouse”) to Nolan Riding. Nolan Riding is a collective of mountain bike coaches and guides who operate on Vancouver Island who often work in collaboration with Cycling BC and Cycling Canada. Staff are seeking Council approval to enter into a lease agreement with Nolan Riding for the use of office space on the upper floor of the Clubhouse. Public notices have been published in accordance with the Community Charter. BACKGROUND: Over the past few months, Council has reviewed and approved multiple lease agreements within the Clubhouse at Jordie Lunn Bike Park. The leases span across food and beverage, retail, and office space, with a focus on enhancing amenities and services available to the community at the park. On the first floor of the Clubhouse, Broad Street Cycles will operate a bike rental and retail business in the designated retail space, while Rhino Coffee House will lease the food and beverage area. On the second floor, Cycling BC and Cycling Canada will occupy office space, offering cycling programming and activities to clubs, national teams, and the general public. Additionally, there remains approximately 90.67 square feet of office space available for rent on the second floor. Nolan Riding, a collective of mountain bike coaches and guides, has expressed interest in leasing this space from the City. Nolan Riding is known for creating mountain biking experiences for people of all ages, and hosting workshops, camps, and tours through a network of community partnerships. Similar to Cycling BC and Cycling Canada, Nolan Riding plans to operate out of the Clubhouse and bike park, utilizing the park as a central hub for their coaching and programming services. Staff believe that providing office space for Nolan Riding at the park will foster collaboration between them and Cycling Canada/ Cycling BC, helping to create a vibrant mountain biking community at Jordie Lunn Bike Park.

COMMENTARY: Staff recommend that the term of the lease be for three years, in accordance with the terms of the agreement as attached. Key terms of the agreement include: The term will commence on April 1st, 2024; Nolan Riding has the option to renew for an additional two years, with such approval being subject to the City’s discretion; Nolan Riding will pay as base rent $2,266.75 annually during the term, to be paid in monthly installments of $188.89; In addition to rent, Nolan Riding will pay for any utility costs that directly relate to their use of the office space; and Nolan Riding will indemnify the City and obtain property insurance and general liability insurance in an amount not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence with the City named as an additional insured. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The base rental amount for the term of the lease is $2,266.75 per year, to be paid in monthly installments of $188.89, plus GST. The rent is based on a price per square foot of $25.00, which is within the range of fair market rental prices for similar office space in the area. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: Dispositions of land must be approved by the City and proper notice must be given in accordance with the Community Charter; this notice has been given. A lease is considered a disposition of an interest in land in accordance with the Community Charter.

4.2 Basis of Determining AddiƟonal Rent Payments

4.4 Rent for Irregular Periods
All Rent reserved herein will be deemed to accrue from day to day, and if for any reason it will become necessary to calculate Rent for irregular periods of less than one year, an appropriate pro-rata adjustment will be made on a daily basis in order to compute Rent for that irregular period.
4.5 Place of Payment
All payments required to be made to the Landlord under this Lease will be made to the Landlord or the Landlord’s agent at the address referred to in Item (a) of the Summary of Certain Basic Lease Provisions, unless otherwise directed by the Landlord.

If the Landlord so uses or applies all or any porƟon of the Security Deposit, the Tenant will within 10 days aŌer demand therefor deposit cash with the Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount thereof. The Landlord will not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts.

If such damage or destrucƟon is not caused by or resulƟng from any act, omission, default, or negligence of the Tenant, or persons for whom the Tenant is in law responsible, and if as a result of such occurrence the Premises are rendered unfit either in whole or in part for the business of the Tenant, then the Basic Rent hereby reserved, or a proporƟonate share thereof according to the nature and extent of the destrucƟon or damage sustained, will be suspended and abated unƟl the Landlord will have rebuilt, repaired, or made fit the Premises for the purpose of the Tenant.

If the Landlord has exercised its right of terminaƟon, the Tenant, aŌer receipt of such noƟce of terminaƟon, will forthwith deliver up possession of the Premises to the Landlord and make payment of the Rent in the manner required by secƟons 6.3(a)(i) and 6.3(a)(ii), depending on the circumstances of the damage and destrucƟon as provided for therein.

(iii) If the damage or destrucƟon referred to in secƟon 6.3(a) is caused by or resulƟng from any act, omission, default, or negligence of the Tenant, or persons for whom the Tenant is in law responsible, and the Landlord exercises its right in secƟon 6.3(a)(ii) to terminate this Lease, the Tenant will pay to the Landlord on the date of terminaƟon that fracƟon of the Tenant Inducements, if any, that has as its numerator the number of days remaining in the Term; and has as its denominator the number of days in the Term as originally provided herein.

(v) make alteraƟons of, addiƟons to, subtracƟons from, or rearrangements of the Clubhouse, build addiƟonal stores in any part of the Clubhouse, and construct addiƟonal stories, buildings, or faciliƟes adjoining or near the Clubhouse.
Despite anything else in this Lease, the Landlord has no liability for diminuƟon or alteraƟon of the Common Areas or Common FaciliƟes that occurs as a result of the Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this secƟon 7.2 or elsewhere under this Lease, and the Tenant will not be enƟtled to compensaƟon or a reducƟon or abatement of Rent, and no such diminuƟon or alteraƟon of the Common Areas or Common FaciliƟes will be deemed to be a construcƟve or actual evicƟon of the Tenant or a default by the Landlord of any obligaƟon for quiet enjoyment contained in this Lease or provided at law.
7.3 Health Emergency
If a Health Emergency exists, the Landlord may amend, supplement, or otherwise enforce any exisƟng Health Emergency rules or regulaƟons in existence, impose addiƟonal rules and regulaƟons, and impose restricƟons to miƟgate or minimize the effects of the Health Emergency. Without limiƟng the generality of the foregoing, during a Health Emergency the Landlord will be enƟtled to:
(a) restrict or limit access to the Premises and the Clubhouse to employees of the Tenant only, and/or to prohibit entry by visitors or invitees for a reasonable period of Ɵme during such event;
(b) require the Tenant to decontaminate all or any part of the Premises, in a manner reasonably approved by the Landlord, failing which the Landlord will be enƟtled to enter the Premises and do so at the Tenant’s expense. Any steps that the Landlord may choose to take are in its sole and Page 301 of 344
Page 302
unfetered discreƟon and nothing herein will obligate the Landlord to effect any such decontaminaƟon;
(c) close all or any part of the Premises or the Clubhouse if it determines that it is not safe to conƟnue to operate the Premises or the Clubhouse or certain parts of the Clubhouse; and
(d) specify specific modes of ingress and egress from and to the Clubhouse and the Premises for tenants generally, or for specific tenants, occupants, or invitees who may have a heightened risk of either exposure to a health threat or a heightened risk of transfer of unhealthy condiƟon to other tenants, invitees, or visitors in the Clubhouse or the Premises. The Tenant will, immediately upon becoming aware of same, inform the Landlord of any outbreak of an infecƟous disease amongst its employees where such outbreak may impact the health and/or safety of other tenants in the Clubhouse or lead to a Health Emergency.
Notwithstanding this secƟon 7.3, the Landlord agrees that in its exercise of any rights or enƟtlements under this secƟon 7.3, it will act reasonably.
ACCESS
8.1 Access
The Landlord, its servants, agents, contractors, and representaƟves will be enƟtled at all Ɵmes, except when there would be an unreasonable interference or disturbance with the Tenant’s use of the Premises, to enter upon the Premises for any of the following purposes:
(a) inspecƟng same and carrying out the rights of the Landlord under secƟon 8.1(c);
(b) inspecƟng the performance by the Tenant of the terms, covenants, agreements, and condiƟons of this Lease;
(c) carrying out any obligaƟons of the Tenant that the Tenant has failed to observe;
(d) exhibiƟng the Premises to prospecƟve lessees, purchasers, lenders, or their respecƟve agents; or
(e) any other reasonable purpose,
but no such entry will consƟtute an evicƟon or a breach of the Landlord’s covenant for quiet enjoyment or enƟtle the Tenant to any abatement of rent provided that the Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the Page 302 of 344
Page 303
Tenant’s use of the Premises. The Landlord will be provided with a set of keys to the Premises for the purposes in this secƟon 8.1.
INSURANCE
9.1 Tenant to Insure
The Tenant covenants with the Landlord that it will, at the Tenant’s cost and expense, take out and keep in force the insurance described below throughout the Term and any period when it is in possession of the Premises. The Tenant covenants to maintain insurance as follows:
(a) all risks (including flood and earthquake) property insurance in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost:
(i) insuring all property owned by the Tenant, or for which the Tenant is legally liable, or installed by or on behalf of the Tenant, and located within the Clubhouse, including, but not limited to, fiƫngs, installaƟons, alteraƟons, addiƟons, parƟƟons, and all other leasehold improvements; and
(ii) naming the Landlord as a loss payee as their respecƟve interests may appear;
(b) commercial general liability insurance including coverage for death, personal injury liability, contractual liability, non-owned automobile liability, employers’ liability, and owners’ and contractors’ protecƟve insurance coverage, with respect to the Premises and the Tenant’s use of the Common Areas and Common FaciliƟes, with coverage including the acƟviƟes and operaƟons conducted by the Tenant and any other person on the Premises and by the Tenant and other person performing work on behalf of the Tenant and those for whom the Tenant is in law responsible, in any other part of the Clubhouse. These policies will:
(i) be writen on a comprehensive basis with inclusive limits of at least $5,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury for any one or more persons, or property damage (but the Landlord acƟng reasonably may require higher limits from Ɵme to Ɵme);
(ii) name the Landlord as an addiƟonal insured;
(c) any other form of insurance and with whatever higher limits that the Landlord, acƟng reasonably, may require from Ɵme to Ɵme.
Page 303 of 344
Page 304
All policies will:
(a) be taken out with insurers acceptable to the Landlord;
(b) be in a form saƟsfactory to the Landlord;
(c) be non-contribuƟng with, and will apply only as primary and not in excess to any other insurance available to the Landlord;
(d) not be invalidated with respect to the interests of the Landlord by reason of any breach or violaƟon of warranƟes, representaƟons, declaraƟons, or condiƟons contained in the policies; and
(e) contain an undertaking by the insurers to noƟfy the Landlord in wriƟng not less than 30 days before any material change, cancellaƟon, or terminaƟon.
The Tenant will deliver cerƟficates of insurance duly executed by the Tenant’s insurers evidencing that the required insurance is in force, or, if required by the Landlord, the Tenant will deliver cerƟfied copies of each insurance policy as soon as possible aŌer the placing of the insurance. No review or approval of any insurance cerƟficate or insurance policy by the Landlord derogates from or diminishes the Landlord’s rights under this Lease.
9.2 Not to Affect Landlord’s Insurance
The Tenant will not do or permit anything to be done that results in the cancellaƟon or threatened cancellaƟon or the reducƟon or threatened reducƟon of coverage under any insurance policy on the Clubhouse or any part of it. The Tenant will not do or permit to be done, or omit to do, anything that will cause or have the effect of causing the rate of insurance upon the Clubhouse or any part thereof to be increased, and if the insurance rate will be thereby increased the Tenant will pay to the Landlord as AddiƟonal Rent the amount by which the insurance premiums will be so increased. The Tenant will not store or permit to be stored upon or in the Premises anything that is of a dangerous, inflammable, or explosive nature nor anything that would have the effect of increasing the Landlord’s insurance costs or of leading to the cancellaƟon of such insurance. If any insurance policy upon the Premises or the Clubhouse is cancelled or threatened to be cancelled by the insurer by reason of the use and occupaƟon of the Premises or any part thereof by the Tenant or by any assignee, sub-tenant, concessionaire, or licensee of the Tenant, or by anyone permited by the Tenant to be upon the Premises, the Landlord may, at its opƟon upon giving the Tenant 24 hours’ noƟce, terminate this Lease by noƟce in wriƟng, and the Tenant will immediately deliver up vacant possession of the Premises to the Landlord or the Landlord may, at its opƟon and at the expense of the Tenant, enter upon the Premises and recƟfy the situaƟon causing such actual or threatened cancellaƟon or rate increase. If the occupancy of the Premises, the conduct of business in the Page 304 of 344
Page 305
Premises, or anything done or omited by the Tenant results in an increase in premiums for the insurance carried by the Landlord with respect to the Clubhouse, the Tenant will pay the increase to the Landlord immediately on demand. In determining whether the Tenant is responsible for increased premiums and the amount for which the Tenant is responsible, a schedule issued by the organizaƟon that computes the insurance rate on the Clubhouse showing the components of the rate will be conclusive evidence of the items that make up the rate.
9.3 Workers’ CompensaƟon
If the nature of the Tenant’s operaƟons is such as to place all or any of its employees under the coverage of local workers’ compensaƟon or similar insurance, the Tenant will also keep in force at its expense, so long as this Lease remains in effect, workers’ compensaƟon or similar insurance according to Applicable Laws and will provide evidence of same to the Landlord.
9.4 No Insurable Interest in Landlord’s Insurance
Notwithstanding the Landlord’s covenant contained in this secƟon and notwithstanding any contribuƟon by the Tenant to the cost of the Landlord’s insurance premiums, the Tenant acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Tenant is not relieved from liability arising from or contributed to by its acts, fault, negligence, or omissions; (ii) no insurable interest is conferred on the Tenant under any policies of insurance carried by the Landlord; and (iii) the Tenant has no right to receive any proceeds of any insurance policies carried by the Landlord.

If any government enƟty promulgates or revises any statute or ordinance or building, fire, or other code, or imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines on the Landlord or the Clubhouse or any part thereof, relaƟng to the use or conservaƟon of energy, water, gas, steam, light, or electricity or the provision of any other uƟlity or service provided with respect to the Premises, or if the Landlord is required or elects to make alteraƟons to the Clubhouse in order to comply therewith, the Landlord may do so; and neither such compliance nor the making of such alteraƟons will in any event enƟtle the Tenant to any damages, relieve the Tenant of the obligaƟon to pay any of the sums due hereunder, or consƟtute or be construed as a construcƟve or other evicƟon of the Tenant; and the Landlord will not be in breach of its covenant for quiet enjoyment or liable for any loss, costs or damages, whether direct or indirect, incurred by the Tenant due to any of the foregoing, but the Landlord will make commercially reasonable efforts to restore the services, uƟliƟes or systems so stopped, interrupted or reduced.

Neither the Landlord nor its agents, servants, employees, or contractors will be liable for any damage suffered to the Premises or the contents thereof by reason of the Landlord, its agents, employees, or contractors entering upon the Premises to undertake any examinaƟon thereof or any work therein or in the case of any emergency, and the Landlord will not be in breach of its covenant for quiet enjoyment or liable for any loss, costs, or damages, whether direct or indirect, incurred by the Tenant due to any of the foregoing.

Wherever reference is made to the liability of the Tenant in the Lease, such reference shall be deemed likewise to refer to the Guarantor, jointly and severally, with the Tenant. The liability of the Guarantor for the obligaƟons of the Lease shall be primary. The Guarantor hereby waives any obligaƟon on the part of the Landlord to enforce the Page 308 of 344
Page 309

LANDLORD’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
15.1 Default
If and whenever the Rent hereby reserved, or any part thereof, will not be paid on the day appointed for payment thereof, whether demanded or not, or in the case of breach or non-observance or non-performance of any of the covenants, agreements, provisos, condiƟons, or rules and regulaƟons on the part of the Tenant to be kept, observed, or Page 311 of 344
Page 312

Whenever the Landlord is enƟtled to re-enter the Premises it may, at its opƟon and without limiƟng its other remedies, terminate the Lease. If this Lease is so terminated, the Landlord, to the extent permited by law, may immediately repossess the Premises, sell or dispose of such Tenant’s fixtures, trade fixtures, personal property, or leasehold improvements therein as the Landlord considers appropriate, or store any of the Tenant’s fixtures, trade fixtures, personal property, or leasehold improvements therein in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of the Tenant, all without service of noƟce, without legal proceedings, and without liability for loss or damage and wholly without prejudice to the rights of the Landlord to recover arrears of Rent or damages for any default by the Tenant of its obligaƟons or agreements under this Lease or of any term or condiƟon of this Lease, and wholly without prejudice to the rights of the Landlord to recover from the Tenant damages for loss of Rent suffered by reason of this Lease having been prematurely terminated, including prospecƟve damages, and the Landlord reserves a right to claim all costs (including legal fees on a full indemnity basis), losses, damages, and expenses arising from the Tenant’s breach.
15.2 Right of Landlord to Relet
If and when the Landlord is enƟtled to re-enter the Premises, the Landlord will have the right, if it thinks fit, to enter the same as the agent of the Tenant either by force or otherwise, without being liable to any prosecuƟon therefor and without terminaƟng this Lease, to make such alteraƟons and repairs as in the Landlord’s opinion are necessary to facilitate a releƫng of the Premises, and to relet the Premises as the agent of and at the risk of the Tenant and to receive the Rent therefor. Upon each such releƫng, all Rent received by the Landlord from such releƫng will be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from the Tenant to the Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such releƫng, including brokerage and solicitor’s fees, and of costs of any alteraƟons and repairs; and third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder. The residue, if any, will be held by the Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same becomes due and payable hereunder. If such Rent received from such releƫng during any month is less than that to be paid during that month by the Tenant hereunder, the Tenant will pay any such deficiency, which will be calculated and paid monthly in advance on or before the first day of each and every month. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by the Landlord pursuant to this secƟon 15.2 will be construed as an elecƟon on its part to terminate this Lease, unless a writen noƟce of such intenƟon is given to the Tenant.

15.4 Right of Landlord to Seize
The Tenant waives and renounces the benefit of any present or future law taking away or limiƟng the Landlord’s rights against the property of the Tenant and, notwithstanding any such law, the Landlord may seize and sell (either by public or private sale) all of the Tenant’s goods and property that at any Ɵme have been located within the Premises, and apply the proceeds of such sale upon Rent outstanding and upon the costs of the seizure and sale, in the same manner as might have been done if such law had not been passed.
