Town Center outdoor cafe renewed for five years at $7.12 per sq. ft.; 3% annual escalation
Summary
The authority renewed an outdoor café agreement for Bridal Rio restaurant in Town Center for five years, set the rate at $7.12 per square foot with a 3% annual escalation, and confirmed existing site plan and seating.
The Virginia Beach Development Authority approved a five-year renewal of an outdoor café agreement for Bridal Rio restaurant at Town Center. The renewed term runs through Jan. 31, 2030; the café footprint is 1,187 square feet with 40 seats and an annual use fee of $7.12 per square foot paid to the Town Center SSD with a 3% escalation each year.
Rosebelle Rambler (staff presenter) summarized the history: the cafe’s original agreement began with a smaller footprint and has been amended; the current arrangement reflects the third amendment executed Feb. 1, 2020, and staff recommended continuing the agreement under the updated per‑square‑foot rate that the authority established in 2024.
Authority members asked whether the rate is comparable to others; staff confirmed the $7.12 per‑square‑foot rate was updated in 2024 to align with other Town Center outdoor fee agreements. The motion to renew the outdoor café agreement was approved by voice vote.
