2 BACKGROUND: The County Board and VHC have entered into an Option Agreement, with an effective date of December 21, 2015, granting VHC an option to purchase the County s Edison Site property, under specified terms and conditions, for a term that will not exceed fortyeight months after the effective date. VHC s employees and visitors currently utilize a combination of on-site garage and available off-site street parking for parking at or near the hospital. Due to the high demand for, and limited availability of, on-site parking, VHC also leases additional off-site satellite parking to meet its employee parking needs. Pending exercise of the Option Agreement by VHC, VHC has requested permission from the County for VHC to use, on a temporary and exclusive basis, a portion of the Edison Site for VHC employee parking purposes. The only current need for County parking at the Edison Site is associated with the County-sponsored Northern Virginia Family Services (NVFS) Head Start program. The NVFS program is located in the building at 1801 N. George Mason Drive, on the northern side of the County property, and uses a separate parking area, accessed from 19th Street North, to accommodate its parking requirements. DISCUSSION: The proposed License Agreement will allow VHC to use, on a temporary, exclusive basis, sixty-two (62) parking spaces located on a portion of the Edison Site that immediately abuts the VHC property (see Vicinity Maps 1, 2, and 3). Use of the Licensed Area will be limited to VHC and its authorized employees. VHC will be responsible for snow removal from the Licensed Area and the service drive; the restriping and maintenance of the Licensed Area in good condition and repair, including, without limitation, pothole and surface repair; maintenance of the Licensed Area free of debris and trash; and securing the Licensed Area against unauthorized entry, use and activities. The initial term of the License Agreement is one (1) year. The initial term of the License Agreement may be extended, at VHC s option, for three additional one-year terms. Any extensions must be exercised by VHC providing written notice to the County at least sixty days prior to the expiration of the then current term. The County will receive a License Fee in the amount of $4, per month from VHC during the term of the License Agreement and any extension thereof. The parking use authorized by the proposed License Agreement requires a Use Permit amendment, which is the subject of a companion Board Report being considered concurrently with the proposed License Agreement. FISCAL IMPACT: All monthly License Fees ($4,030 per month) received by the County during the term of the License Agreement will be deposited into the General Fund
