EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City currently leases commercial space within Westhills Arena to Westshore Kimura Shukokai Karate, which operates a karate school. The current lease is set to expire August 31st, 2024. Staff have been in discussions with Westshore Karate for a renewal of the lease and are seeking Council approval to enter into a new two-year lease term. Public notices have been published in accordance with the Community Charter.
BACKGROUND
Westshore Kimura Karate have been a part of the Westshore community since 2011, offering karate classes for all age groups, starting from the age four and up. The business is currently located in units #211 and #215 at 1097 Langford Parkway within Westhills Arena at City Centre Park. The lease allows for the units to be used for office space and karate classes. The lease term commenced on September 1st, 2022, and is set to expire August 31st, 2024.
The City and Westshore Karate have been in negotiations for a renewal of the lease, subject to Council approval. The proposed lease aligns with the Council’s strategic priority of providing access to recreational services in Langford.
COMMENTARY
Staff recommend that the term of the lease be for two (2) years, in accordance with the terms of the agreement as attached. Key terms of the lease include:
