TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary for a lease between SCTS Investments, LLC (Landlord), and the City of Long Beach (Tenant), for office and warehouse space at 3200 East 29th Street for the Police Department warehouse facility. (District 5)

An Administrative Use Permit (AUP) will be required for PD’s use and is currently in process. PD will be allowed to take occupancy upon issuance of the AUP.
