Roanoke Council adopts ordinance to lease retail space to The Orvis Company
Summary
Council approved an ordinance authorizing a five-year lease with The Orvis Company for about 3,000 square feet in the Century Square parking garage; staff said Orvis has occupied the space for roughly 20 years and the new agreement continues 5-year terms.
Roanoke City Council voted on Feb. 17 to authorize a lease agreement between the City of Roanoke and The Orvis Company Inc. for approximately 3,000 square feet of retail space in the Center in the Square parking garage at 11 Campbell Avenue SE.
Deputy City Attorney David Collins told the council the agreement is a renewal and that Orvis has leased the location for about 20 years. He said the contract is structured in five-year increments; the prior lease had expired in January and the proposed agreement establishes another five-year term.
Mark Nelson and Devin Jernett from the Department of Economic Development were present to answer council questions; no citizens spoke during the public hearing on the lease. Council moved and seconded the ordinance (council members Hagan and Nash were named) and the clerk called the roll. The ordinance was adopted by the council.
The action authorizes the city manager or designee to execute the lease and dispenses with a second reading of the ordinance by title. No financial terms were read into the record during the meeting and were not specified in the publicly read title.
