BACKGROUND
In August 2012, the City of Alameda entered into a one-year lease agreement with Wonky and Wonky Kitchen LLC for Building 119. Wonky Kitchen produces dried kale which is packaged and sold in a variety of markets and groceries catering to organic, “green” consumers. Co-located with Wonky and Wonky Kitchen LLC in Building 119 is Oaktown Jerk, which sells locally produced beef jerky products, also to higher end markets and grocery stores. Although Wonky Kitchen amended its lease several times, the original term expired in December 2015. Because Building 119 is located in the Site A development footprint, the City could not offer a renewal.
