The Pelton property changed ownership over <br />several incarnations between 2001 and 2009, the last of which rendered Sung Hui Paskewitz <br />the sole owner under the Sung Hui Paskewitz Living Trust. Throughout the changes in <br />ownership, the terms of the 1959 lease remained in effect. Due to the many changes in <br />ownership over the years, the need arose to establish a new and up-to-date lease agreement <br />that appropriately represents the parties and their objectives. <br />Analysis <br />The execution of this Lease Agreement would terminate the 1959 Lease and enter into <br />updated terms for operating and enforcing the approximately 75 public off-street parking <br />spaces in the Pelton Center lot. By leasing the lot, the City essentially makes the Pelton <br />Center parking lot part of the City’s public parking system. Use of this lot would continue to <br />significantly boost the inventory of publically available parking for shoppers and visitors in <br />Downtown San Leandro, for which a Downtown Parking Strategy is currently being developed. <br />The new Lease Agreement was negotiated jointly by the Community Development <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/26/2016
