Resolution No. 2024-XX
Applicant: Brea 1 Inv, LLC
TTM No. 19315
3. The Commission further finds in consideration of TTM No. 19315 as follows:
a. Finding: That the proposed map is consistent with the applicable General Plan and Specific plans;
Fact: The subject property has a General Plan land use
designation of Mixed Use I, which is intended to create areas for intense, mixeduse, urban environments that offer opportunities for people to live, work, shop, and recreate without having to use their cars. TTM No. 19315 is consistent with the Brea General Plan because it will allow the construction of a for-sale housing development on a site in the City’s Housing Element residential sites inventory, identified as Focused Development Site 10, with an estimated capacity to accommodate 32 units. In addition, TTM No. 19315 is consistent with Goal CD-1 and Policies CD-1.1, CD-1.4, and CD-1.5 in that it will allow development that integrates single-family attached housing and live/work units in a mixed-use area.
The proposed subdivision will maintain the existing General Plan land use designation on the property, allowing the construction of a housing development, and creating 32 new condominium units for future homeowners. b. Finding: That the site is physically suitable for the type of development;
Fact: The subject property is 1.11 acres in size ( 0.99 acres after the required public right-of-way dedication) and occupied by a single- story, existing commercial building. The map will subdivide the existing site into 32 condominium units. The Project Site is physically suitable to accommodate the Resolution No. 2024-XX
Applicant: Brea 1 Inv, LLC
TTM No. 19315
mixed- use development and the proposed parcels meet all applicable development standards pursuant to Brea City Code Section 20.258.020 and
20.258.030 for development in the MU-I zone, except for parking standards and those waivers requested by State Density Bonus Law. As such, the Project site adequately accommodates the proposed subdivision.
c. Finding: That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development;
Fact: The Project Site is physically suitable for the
proposed density of development. TTM No. 19315 will adjust the lot line boundaries to match the proposed Project’ s development configuration, including the required dedication of 10 feet of existing sidewalk areas along Brea Boulevard and Fir Street as public right-of-way. It will not result in a change to the density permitted on the site, as the Mixed- Use I designation allows for a residential density of 12.1 to 50 dwelling units per acre. d. Finding: That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially unavoidably injure fish or wildlife, or their habitat; Fact: The design of TTM No. 19315 is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially unavoidably injure fish or wildlife, or their habitat. The existing parcel has been previously disturbed and developed and is an urban property surrounded by other urban uses. The site is not suitable habitat for wildlife and the proposed Project will, therefore, not cause substantial environmental damage or injure wildlife.
Resolution No. 2024-XX
Applicant: Brea 1 Inv, LLC
TTM No. 19315
e. Finding: That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems; Fact: The design of TTM No. 19315 is not likely to cause serious public health problems in that the new subdivision and improvements will be required to comply with the approved plans and development standards as required by the City of Brea. In addition to these development standards, any development will be required to comply with Brea City Code and all applicable codes, including but not limited to, California Building and Fire Codes. With implementation of the conditions of approval attached to a separate resolution approving PD No. 2023-03, the subdivision will not cause and change or impact to public health.
f. Finding: That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through use of property within the proposed subdivision.
Fact: The design of the subdivision or the type of
improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
4. TTM No. 19315 is hereby approved, subject to the conditions of approval attached to a separate resolution approving PD No. 2023-03 for the South Brea Townhomes Project.
5. The Secretary of this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BREA APPROVING DENSITY BONUS NO. 2023- 01: TO ALLOW
UTILIZATION OF STATE DENSITY LAW PROVISIONS FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CONSISTING OF
AFFORDABLE UNITS FOR THE SOUTH BREA TOWNHOMES
PROJECT LOCATED AT 685 SOUTH BREA BOULEVARD AND
FINDING COMPLIANCE WITH NO NET LESS LAW.
A. RECITALS:
i) The Planning Commission of the City of Brea ( the “ Planning Commission”) did receive a verified petition for the approval of Tentative Tract Map ( TTM) No. 19315, Density Bonus ( DB) No. 2023-01, and Precise Development ( PD) No. 2023-03 to allow the demolition of an approximately 6,592-square-foot commercial building and construction of a new housing development project that will include 29 residential single-family attached units and three live/work units, for a total of 32 units, dispersed in four buildings ( referred to herein as the “Project”) for that certain real property located at 685 South Brea Boulevard, in the City of Brea, and further legally described as Assessor Parcel Number 284-282-06, as shown in the latest records of the County of Orange Assessor’ s Office.
ii) The Project applicant is Brea 1 Inv, LLC, 685 South Brea Boulevard. iii) The Project site is zoned Mixed- Use I (MU-I) and designated as Mixed Use I by the General Plan.
iv) DB No. 2023-01 would allow the Applicant to utilize the following Density Bonus provisions: 1) Density Bonus parking standards; and 2) waivers of five separate development standards, which includes reductions of the front setback to 6”, the street side setbacks to between 3’-4” and 5’-2”, the landscaping setbacks to between 1’-11” Resolution No. 2024-XX
Applicant: Brea 1 Inv, LLC
DB No. 2023-01
and 5’-11”, the common open space requirement to 23 square feet per dwelling unit, and the private open space requirement to 50 square feet per dwelling unit. v) On July 23, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the Project, during which it received and considered all evidence and testimony presented prior to adoption of this resolution. vi) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. RESOLUTION:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FOUND, DETERMINED AND RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Brea, as follows:
1. In all respects as set forth in Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution.
2. The Project identified above in this Resolution has been assessed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The Project is categorically exempt from the requirements to prepare additional environmental documentation per CEQA Guidelines Section 15332. Class 32 is applicable as the Project is an in-fill development that meets the following conditions: ( a) the Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as the applicable designation and regulations; ( b) the proposed development occurs on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; ( c) the Project has no habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; ( d) approval of the Project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality; and e) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
Resolution No. 2024-XX
Applicant: Brea 1 Inv, LLC
DB No. 2023-01
Technical analyses prepared for the Project, which includes a Scoping Agreement for Traffic Impact Analysis, Noise Impact Study, Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Impact Study, and Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan, demonstrated that the Project will not have any significant effect related to traffic, noise, air quality, and water quality. Therefore, the Project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
3. The Commission further finds in consideration of DB No. 2023-01 as follows:
a. Finding: The Project meets the requirements of the State Density Bonus Law to utilize parking standards and waivers specified in the State Density Bonus Law;
Fact: The Project consists of 29 residential and three
live/work units, for a total of 32 housing units. Four of the 32 units would be reserved for moderate- income households. Thus, 10 percent of the base units would be affordable to moderate- income households, making the Project eligible for unlimited waivers and State Density Bonus Law parking standards under State Density Bonus Law. With the waiver requests, the Project would be built at the density identified in City’s Sixth Cycle Housing Element, and the proposed reduction in applicable street setbacks is similar and compatible with existing development pattern in the surrounding mixed- use environment. Additionally, while the Project includes reductions to landscaping setbacks and open space, the Applicant would contribute funding toward off-site public park development.
Based on the Project details, the proposed waivers are not expected to cause Resolution No. 2024-XX
Applicant: Brea 1 Inv, LLC
DB No. 2023-01
any specific adverse impacts upon health or safety. In addition, the proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan Housing Element Goal 6 in that the Project will provide a variety of housing types and support production of affordable housing through density bonus incentives.
4. The Commission further finds in consideration of the State No Net Loss Law as follows:
a. Finding: That the remaining sites identified in the
Housing Element are adequate to meet the requirements of Government Code Section 65583. 2 and to accommodate the City’s remaining unmet regional housing need allocation at each income level.
Fact: The Project site is identified in the City’s Housing Element residential sites inventory as Focused Development Site 10, with an estimated capacity to accommodate 32 units, consisting of 16 very low-income units and 16 low-income units. The Project proposes a total of 32 units for the site, consisting of 28 above moderate- income units and four moderate income units. As a result, the proposed Project provides 32 fewer lower income units than identified in the Housing Element, while providing additional moderate income and above moderate income units. The City’s regional housing need allocation ( RHNA) for the 2021-2029 planning period is 2,365 housing units for all income levels, consisting of 669 very low-income units, 393 low-income units, 403 moderate- income units, and 900 above moderate- income units. The Housing Element sites inventory identifies a total unit capacity of 1,301 units for lower- Resolution No. 2024-XX
Applicant: Brea 1 Inv, LLC
DB No. 2023-01
income units, which is a surplus of 239 units. The City’s approval of the Project, which would remove 32 of the units from the lower-income capacity calculation, would not cause the lower-income RHNA category to be insufficient, as shown in the below table:

Moderate 900 1,454 + 554 + 28 + 582
Total 2,365 3,311 + 946 n/a + 946
As such, there is still more than adequate capacity at the remaining Housing Elements sites.
5. Based on reasons specified in the resolution, DB No. 2023-01 is hereby approved.
6. The Secretary of this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

Re: Updated Request Letter for a 32-Unit Townhome Project located at 685 S Brea Blvd Dear Ms. Newton:
As requested, Brea 1 Inv, LLC is providing an updated request letter for the development application on the 685 S Brea Blvd site. The proposed project will consist of 32 3-story single-family attached townhomes with three along Brea Blvd designated as live/ work. The project’ s design is Spanish- inspired to blend with the surrounding context and building environment. It will have Irving Gill-styled bay windows on the 3rd story and lightened accent colors. There will also be tile reveal in some windows and simplified entry trim to incorporate more Spanish- inspired details.
The trash service plan will be a mixture of placing trash carts in front of individual garages as well as in front of curbs. Trash carts will be placed in unit garages when not being serviced.
Finally, per the acoustical study, the proposed window STC ratings will be 31.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the above.

City Council Regular Meeting Communication
Local Housing Trust Fund Grant Application Submission to the California Department of Housing and Community Development
Meeting
Tuesday, August 20, 2024, 7:00 PM
Agenda Group
CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 5D
TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Bill Gallardo, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Adopt a Resolution and attachments, authorizing the submission of a Local Housing Trust Fund ( LHTF) grant application to the California State Department of Housing and Community Development ( HCD);
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all documents and agreements necessary to accept the funds, if awarded; and
3. Amend the Fiscal Year 2024- 25 Operating Budget to accept any potential award of funds to be allocated to the City’s Housing Trust Fund ( 270).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-061, approving the 6th Cycle Housing Element, which committed City staff to seek funding to facilitate the development of affordable housing and to enhance housing programs. Specifically, Housing Element Policy 2.1 reinforces that commitment to pursue expanded financial resources to support the production of affordable housing units. Since the adoption of the Housing Element in 2022, the City has been successful in securing grant funding for the development of affordable housing units, including recent grant awards of $6,028,491. 51 from CalOptima Health in November 2023 and $ 660,000 from HCD in August 2024 ( Prohousing Incentive Program). On July 9, 2024, HCD announced the LHTF program Notice of Funding Availability ( NOFA) in the amount of $53 million. HCD will be accepting LHTF program applications from August 20 through September 17, 2024.
The LHTF is a program developed by HCD from Proposition 1, the Behavioral Health Services Program and Bond Measure, which authorized $ 300 million to the LHTF Program to provide matching grants to assist with funding for affordable housing. These funds are dedicated to the creation, rehabilitation, or preservation of affordable housing, transitional housing and emergency shelters. The LHTF program requires that no more than 20 percent of each allocation may assist moderate- income households, and at least 30 percent of each allocation required to assist extremely low-income households. Eligible uses of the funds include, but are not limited to:
Loans for acquisition, predevelopment expenses and development of affordable rental housing projects, transitional housing projects, emergency shelters; and
Homeownership projects ( i.e - down payment assistance to qualified first-time homebuyers, rehabilitation of homes owned by income- eligible homeowners).
The main qualifier for the LHTF NOFA is that the City has a Housing Trust Fund ( Fund 270). In addition, since the City has had a long history of successful housing programs, including the first Affordable Housing Ordinance that was adopted by the City Council in 1993, the City is well qualified to receive a LHTF grant for the eligible uses outlined earlier in this report. Below are some examples of the City’s current Affordable Housing Programs that enhance the City's qualifications for the LHTF program:
Low and Moderate- Income Rent Program ( Affordable Rental Program) The City has provided financial assistance to housing developments that offer below- market rental rates for income- qualified households, with preferences granted to those who live and work in the city. Brea's Affordable Rental Program remains the most sought-after Program with over 5,700 applicants on an interestlist to rent one of the 587 participating below-market units. Historically, this Program has had over 750 total participating units.
Senior Subsidy Program
The Senior Subsidy Program has been active for over 30 years, providing financial assistance to hundreds of low-income Brea seniors on fixed incomes, challenged to pay rent.
Homebuyer Assistance Program
The City of Brea requires almost all new residential developments ( 10-units or more) to provide a percentage of their units for-sale at affordable below-market prices to income- qualified buyers. For over 35 years, more than 250 Brea homes have been purchased by moderate and lower-income buyers through the City's Homebuyer Assistance Program, many of which were recipients of silent second mortgage loans utilizing the City's Housing Funds.
Housing Rehabilitation Program
The City has assisted hundreds of low-income Brea homeowners with home repairs, such as roof and plumbing leaks, electrical problems, etc., through the Housing Rehabilitation Program. For nearly 50 years, Brea has successfully obtained funding for the Program through the County of Orange via the Community Development Block Grant Program ( CDBG).
Affordable Housing Ordinance
Chapter 20.40 of the Brea City Code ( BCC) outlines the purpose, applicability and procedures for inclusionary affordable housing development. The goal of the ordinance is to expand the affordable housing stock in proportion with the overall increase in residential housing units that encourage the development of extremely low to moderate- income housing.
If awarded, staff recommends the City apply the grant funds towards:
The permanent supportive housing project at 323 North Brea Boulevard ( in congruence with Housing Element Goal 2.0 and Policies 2.5, 3.1, and 5.2,) as an offset to the City funding of the project committed earlier this year. No additional funding commitment beyond what was authorized by City Council on May 7, 2024 is proposed.
To provide down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers ( in congruence with Housing Element Policy
2.3); and
Potential development of new low-income housing units ( in congruence with Housing Element Goal 2.0) By securing matching grant funds through the LHTF program, the City can help offset funding in the Housing Trust Fund ( 270). As of August 2024 the Housing Trust Fund ( 270) has an ending balance of $9,641,680.38. City staff is proposing to apply for $1 million in grant funding from the LHTF, with the City's $1 million match to be allocated from the Housing Trust Fund ( 270).
Adoption of the Resolution with Attachment 1 is a required document for the LHTF program application. Following the City Council' s approval, staff would be able to submit the LHTF program application and resolution for HCD to review. HCD anticipates to notify applicants, if awarded, no later than December 2024. Authorization of any Housing Trust Funds use would require subsequent City Council approval.
COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee reviewed staff's recommendation at the August 13, 2024 meeting and recommended to proceed to City Council for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
Submission of Local Housing Trust Fund grant application has no fiscal impact.
If the City is awarded funding in the amount of up to $1 million in matching funds, the funding would be appropriated to the City's Housing Trust Fund ( 270). The City would also be required to provide a dollar- for-dollar match of $1 million, which would be appropriated from the City's Housing Trust Fund ( 270).

TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Kristin Griffith, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Staff recommends that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 1260 formally accepting and implementing the updated California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Local Responsibility Area (LRA) maps for our jurisdiction with additional amendments to increase defensible space requirements to two hundred feet from a structure, roadway clearance to fifty feet, and to add enforcement into the High and Moderate Severity Zones.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) periodically updates fire hazard severity zone maps for Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs) throughout the state. These maps identify varying levels of fire hazard (Moderate, High, and Very High) based on factors including vegetation, topography, weather, crown fire potential, and ember production and movement.
State law requires local jurisdictions to formally adopt these maps by ordinance to ensure proper implementation of associated building standards and fire safety requirements in identified hazard zones.
CAL FIRE has completed its latest assessment of fire hazards in our jurisdiction and has provided updated LRA maps that reflect current conditions and risk factors. The proposed ordinance formally adopts these updated maps and authorizes their use for:
1. Determining applicable building standards for new construction
2. Implementing defensible space requirements
3. Disclosure requirements during real estate transactions
4. Emergency planning and fire prevention efforts
The updated maps incorporate the latest scientific methodologies and data, including vegetation mapping, fire history, weather patterns, and terrain analysis. These improvements enhance our ability to identify at-risk areas and implement appropriate mitigation measures.
The CalFire maps were posted on the City of Brea website on April 1, 2025 and are available for public comment through April 30, 2025. This first reading will be April 15, 2025, and the second reading will be May 6th, 2025. If approved, the new maps will go into effect June 6, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
The adoption of the updated LRA maps will have minimal direct fiscal impact on the City. Implementation costs will be absorbed within the existing Fire Department budget.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREA
DESIGNATING FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES
A. RECITALS.
(i) The Legislature has declared in Government Code Section 51175(a):
“Wildfires are extremely costly, not only to property owners and residents, but also to local agencies. Wildfires pose a serious threat to the preservation of the public peace, health, or safety. The wildfire front is not the only source of risk since embers, or firebrands, travel far beyond the area impacted by the front and pose a risk of ignition to a structure or fuel on a site for a longer time. Since fires ignore civil boundaries, it is necessary that cities, counties, special districts, state agencies, and federal agencies work together to bring raging fires under control. Preventative measures are needed to ensure the preservation of the public peace, health and safety.”
(ii) Pursuant to Government Code Section 51179(a), the City is required to designate, by ordinance, Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in its jurisdiction, within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Government Code Section 51178.
(iii) In March, 2025, the State Fire Marshal updated and established Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones for the County of Orange, California, including the City of Brea, and published a map showing those zones (“Fire Zone Map”.) (iv) The Brea Fire Department has reviewed the Fire Zone Map and believes it accurately represents the Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the City.
(v) On or about March 24, 2025, information concerning the State Fire Marshal’s recommendation for designation of fire severity zones was made available for public review.
(vi) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
B. ORDINANCE.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Brea does hereby find and ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. The facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Ordinance, are true and correct.
SECTION 2. The City of Brea hereby designates the Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones as those areas identified in the attached Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference.
SECTION 3. Any and all provisions in any previously adopted City ordinances designating Fire Severity Zones within the City of Brea’s jurisdiction, are superseded by the provisions of this Ordinance.

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Waive the full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1256, an Ordinance of the City of Brea approving Zone Change No. 2024-01 for the Brea Plaza Shopping Center Residential Project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Applicant, Architects of Orange, represented by Jahn Nguyen, submitted entitlement application requests for the Brea Plaza Shopping Center Residential Project (“Project”). The Project would allow redevelopment of a 1.7- acre portion of land within the northwest portion of the 15.58-acre Brea Plaza Shopping Center site by constructing the following on an existing surface parking lot:
A four-story, 118,620-square-foot multi-family residential building with a maximum of 120 apartments above a two-level parking structure with 95 parking spaces shared by residents and commercial businesses.
A surface parking area of 53 spaces located within the project construction area.
A demolition of an existing 7,500-square-foot freestanding restaurant building (currently occupied by Buca di Beppo) and the construction of a new 5,000-square-foot standalone restaurant building with a 1,101-squarefoot outdoor dining area.
Approval of the following entitlements is required for the Project:
1. General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2024-01: to modify the Project site’s General Plan land use designation from General Commercial to a Mixed Use II land use designation
2. Zone Change (ZC) No. 2024-01: to modify the Project site’s zoning designation from a General Commercial (C-G) Zone with a Precise Development (PD) Overlay and Flood Plain Overlay Districts to a Mixed-Use II (MUII) Zone, with the existing Flood Plain Overlay District over Assessor Parcel Numbers 319-391-02 and 319- 391-03 retained as is.
3. Density Bonus (DB) No. 2024-01: to utilize the following Density Bonus provisions pursuant to Density Bonus Law: 1) Density Bonus parking standards; 2) one Density Bonus concession/incentive for exemption from the Zoning Code’s Art in Public Places requirement; 3) five Density Bonus waivers of development standards, to allow for the increase in the maximum height to 64’-4”, the reduction of the minimum rear setback to 6’-6”, the reduction of minimum common open space to 49.75 square feet per dwelling unit, the reduction of the minimum private open space to 53 square feet per dwelling unit, and the reduction of the required landscaping for the building perimeter vary between 0’ to 5’; and 4one additional incentive under Brea City Code (BCC) Chapter 20.40 to allow for deferral of development impact fees payment to certificate of occupancy.
4. Precise Development (PD) No. 2024-01: to allow the construction of a new residential development consisting of a four-story, 120-unit apartment building atop a two-level parking structure with 95 parking spaces, demolition and reconstruction of an existing restaurant building with a smaller footprint, and a surface parking area with 53 parking spaces.
5. Conditional Use Permits (CUPs) Nos. 2024-03, 2024-04, and 2024-05: 1) to establish a multi-family dwelling use; 2) to allow modifications of off-street parking requirements; and 3) to amend the existing comprehensive sign program for the shopping center for the apartment building’s signs, including addressing, directional, residential project name signs, and a freeway-oriented building-mounted sign.
On April 1, 2025, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1256 for the proposed ZC, in conjunction with adopting Resolution Nos. 2025-16 through 2025-021 approving all entitlements associated with the Project, with the revised conditions of approval recommended by staff, and the Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Brea Plaza Expansion Project (EIR SCH No. 2020079022 Addendum No. 1). The comprehensive staff report package from the April 1, 2025, City Council meeting can be accessed from the following link:
https://horizon.agendalink.app/engage/breaca/67b51dfe23108a0054f51db9 (Click on Item 3A)
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On March 11, 2025, the Planning Commission on a 3 (ayes) - 1 (abstain) - 1 (recusal) vote, approved Resolution No.
PC 2025-03 recommending that the City Council approve the Project with modified conditions of approval and other recommendations, along with the EIR SCH No. 2020079022 Addendum No. 1.
FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
There are no requests for financial assistance or fee waivers associated with the construction of the Project.
Although the Applicant is approved to defer payment of development impact fees to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy pursuant to BCC Section 20.40.060.B, the Project is still required to pay such development impact fees in full. Therefore, the Project would not have a negative impact on the City’s General Fund.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
A. RECITALS:
(i) Jahn Nguyen, Architects of Orange (the “Applicant”) has applied for approval of the Brea Plaza Shopping Center Project (Brea Plaza Living), which includes General Plan Amendment No. 2024-01 (GPA No. 2024-01), Zone Change No. 2024-01 (ZC No. 2024-01), Density Bonus No. 2024-01 (DB No. 2024-01), Precise Development No. 2024-01 (PD No. 2024-01), and Conditional Use Permit Nos. 2024-03, 2024-04, and 2025-05 (CUP Nos. 2024-03, 2024-04, and 2025-05) to allow the construction of a new residential development consisting of a four-story, 120-unit apartment building with a private terrace atop a two-level parking structure with 95 parking spaces, a surface parking area with 53 parking spaces, a modification of the off-street parking requirements based on a shared parking analysis and a comprehensive sign program amendment (the “Project”), for that certain real property located at 1639 East Imperial Highway, in the City of Brea, and further legally described as Assessor Parcel Numbers 319-391-01, 319-391-02, 319-391-03, and 319-391-04, as shown in the latest records of the County of Orange Assessor’s Office (the “Project Site”). (ii) The Project Site is a 15.58-acre property known as Brea Plaza Shopping Center, with the proposed development occurring on an approximately 1.7-acre area located at the northwest corner of the shopping center. The Project Site currently has a General Plan Land Use designation of General Commercial and zoning designation of Ordinance No. 1256
Applicant: Jahn Nguyen, Architects of Orange
ZC No. 2024-01
C-G General Commercial with a Precise Development (PD) Overlay and Flood Plain Overlay Districts.
(iii) In conjunction with GPA No. 2024-01, which would amend the General Plan Land Use designation of the Project Site to Mixed Use II, ZC No. 2024-01 would amend the zoning designation of the Project Site from General Commercial (C-G) with a Precise Development (PD) Overlay and Flood Plain Overlay Districts to Mixed-Use II (MU-II) zoning designation. The existing Flood Plain Overlay District over Assessor Parcel Numbers 319-391-02 and 319-391-03 will remain as is. On April 19, 2022, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.), a Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2020079022) was certified and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program was adopted by the City Council (Resolution No. 2022-030) for the Brea Plaza Expansion Project at the Project Site.
(iv) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15164 (a), the City has prepared an Addendum to the previously certified Final EIR for the Project (EIR SCH No. 2020079022 Addendum No. 1), which analyzed impacts evaluated in the Final EIR relative to the Project and concluded that the Project would not result in any environmental impacts beyond those identified in the Final EIR and as such, constitutes substantial evidence supporting the conclusions that preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR is not required.
(v) On March 11, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the Project and the Addendum, during which it received and considered all evidence and testimony presented prior to adoption of this Resolution.
Ordinance No. 1256
Applicant: Jahn Nguyen, Architects of Orange
ZC No. 2024-01
(vi) On April 1, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the Project and the Addendum, during which it received and considered all evidence and testimony presented prior to adoption of this Resolution. (vii) The documents and other material that constitute the record of the proceedings concerning the Project upon which this Ordinance is based are kept by the City of Brea Community Development Department, located at 1 Civic Center Circle, Brea, California 92821.
(viii) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
B. ORDINANCE:
SECTION 1. All facts set forth above in Part A, Recitals, are true and correct.
SECTION 2. Based on the facts set forth above, the entirety of the evidence presented at the above-referenced public hearing, including all written evidence and testimony presented during the hearing, and the independent judgment of the City Council, the City Council finds as follows:
a. The proposed Zone Change of the Project Site from C-G General Commercial with a Precise Development (PD) Overlay and Flood Plain Overlay District to Mixed-Use II (MU-II) with the Flood Plain Overlay District over Assessor Parcel Numbers 319-391-02 and 319-391-03 remaining is in conformity with the General Plan, as amended by GPA No. 2024-01, which amends the General Plan to change the land use designation of the Project Site from General Commercial to Mixed-Use II. Approval of ZC No. 2024-01 will therefore align the Zoning Map with the General Plan. The Project would also be consistent with Ordinance No. 1256
Applicant: Jahn Nguyen, Architects of Orange
ZC No. 2024-01
other goals, policies, and provisions or the General Plan as set forth in the resolution approving GPA No. 2024-01.
b. The proposed Zone Change is in the interest of public necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practice based in part of the following:
i. The Project Site is suitable for mixed use development as proposed by the Project. The MU-II Zone allows for and encourages commercial and residential uses that are compatible with adjoining land uses. The Project includes a mix of residential and commercial uses over a 1.7-acre area within a 15.58-acre shopping center presently developed with restaurant, retail, and office uses. The Project would create a mixeduse, in-fill development by introducing a multi-family residential use to a shopping center. The Project would be compatible with surrounding land uses and provide a pedestrian accessway connecting the Project Site and the adjacent private property to the north of the Project Site (Assessor’s Parcel Number 319-102-34).
ii. The proposed Zone Change is not detrimental to the use of land in any adjacent zone. The Project Site is physically suitable for a Mixed Use II Land Use Designation, which would be compatible with adjoining land uses. The Project has been evaluated and conditioned to upgrade necessary utilities and ensure proper traffic circulation to minimize vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. In addition, the Project includes a reduction in the overall building size, unit count, and parking demand Ordinance No. 1256
Applicant: Jahn Nguyen, Architects of Orange
ZC No. 2024-01
compared to the project that was studied in the previously certified Final EIR; therefore, the Addendum concluded that the Project would result in lesser environmental impacts than those analyzed in the Final EIR.
SECTION 3. Based on the findings set forth above, the City Council approves Zone Change No. 2024-01 to change the zoning designation of the Project site from General Commercial (C-G) with a Precise Development (PD) Overlay and Flood Plain Overlay Districts to Mixed-Use II (MU-II) zoning designation, with the existing Flood Plain Overlay District over Assessor Parcel Numbers 319-391-02 and 319-391-03 retained as is. The City of Brea Zoning Map is amended to incorporate the approval of Zone Change No. 2024-01, as shown in Exhibits A and B.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 15th day of April 2025.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Waive full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1257, an Ordinance of the City of Brea approving Zone Change No. 2024-02 for the Greenbriar Residential Development Project and Ordinance No. 1258, an Ordinance of the City of Brea approving Development Agreement No. 2024-01 by and between the City of Brea and Lennar Homes of California, LLC regarding the Greenbriar Residential Development Project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Applicant, Lennar Homes of California, LLC, submitted entitlement application requests for the Greenbriar Residential Development Project (“Project”). The Project would allow demolition of an existing 164,908 square foot office building, a three-level parking structure, and surface parking and associated landscape areas, and construction of a residential development consisting of 179 single-family units (detached and attached) including landscaping and common open space areas.
Approval of the following entitlements is required for the Project:
1. Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 2024-01: to analyze the environmental impacts resulting from construction and operation of the proposed project, which is prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines;
2. Vesting Tentative Tract Map (TTM) No. 2024-01: to allow for a condominium map;
3. General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2024-02: to modify the project site’s General Plan land use designation from General Commercial to a Mixed-Use II land use designation;
4. Zone Change (ZC) No. 2024-02: to modify the project site from C-G General Commercial Zone to a MixedUse II (MU-II) Zone;
5. Development Agreement (DA) No. 2024-01: for a contract between the Applicant and the City, defining terms of development proposed by vesting the City’s approval while specifying public benefits; and
6. Precise Development (PD) No. 2024-02: to demolish an existing 164,908 square foot office building, a threelevel parking structure, and surface parking and associated landscape areas, and construct a residential development consisting of 179 single-family units (detached and attached) with a private recreational area.
On April 1, 2025, the City Council introduced Ordinance Nos. 1257 and 1258 for the proposed ZC and DA, in conjunction with adopting Resolution Nos. 2025-22 through 2025-25 certifying the EIR prepared for the Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2024071235) and approving all entitlements associated with the proposed Project, with the revised conditions of approval recommended by staff.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On March 11, 2025, the Planning Commission, on a 4 (ayes) - 1 (recusal) vote, approved Resolution No. 2025-04 recommending City Council certification of the EIR and approval of all associated entitlements for the Project, with modified conditions of approval and other recommendations.
FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
There is no request for financial assistance or fee waivers associated with the Project. The Applicant would be responsible to pay for all applicable permit and development impact fees associated with construction of the Project.
Therefore, the Project would not have a negative impact on the City’s General Fund.

1 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Development Agreement” or “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of _______, 2025 (“Agreement Date”) by and between the CITY OF BREA, a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (“City”), and Lennar Homes of California, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Developer”). City and Developer are referred to individually as “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
This Agreement is entered upon the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions of City and Developer.
A. The lack of certainty in the approval of development projects can result in a waste of resources, escalate the cost of housing and other development, and discourage investment in and commitment to comprehensive planning that would make maximum efficient utilization of resources at the least economic cost to the public.
B. In order to strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic costs and risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California enacted Section 65864 et seq. of the Government Code (the “Development Agreement Legislation”), which authorizes City and a developer having a legal or equitable interest in real property to enter into a binding development agreement, establishing certain development rights in the property.
C. Developer has a legal interest in certain real property consisting of approximately
9.7 acres located at 1698–1700 Greenbriar Land, Brea, as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto, and as diagrammed in Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Property”).
D. Developer intends to develop the Property as a residential community of 179 dwelling units and associated accessory uses as defined more fully in the Project Approvals.
E. The complexity, magnitude and long-range nature of the Project would be difficult for Developer to undertake if City had not determined, through this Development Agreement, to inject a sufficient degree of certainty in the land use regulatory process to justify the substantial financial investment associated with development of the Project. As a result of the execution of this Development Agreement, both Parties can be assured that the Project can proceed without disruption caused by a change in City planning and development policies and requirements, which assurance will thereby reduce the actual or perceived risk of planning, financing and proceeding with construction of the Project.
F. In addition to other public benefits provided by the Project, the Project will result in development of off-site affordable housing units that exceed the City’s minimum affordable housing requirements (as further described in Exhibit C). The off-site housing will be developed on a property located at the southeast corner of Mercury Lane and Berry Street (the “Off-Site Property”).
105956\18035781v10
2 G. Developer has applied for, and City has granted, the Project Approvals (as defined in Section 1.7) in order to protect the interests of its citizens in the quality of their community and environment. As part of the Project Approvals, City has undertaken, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., hereinafter “CEQA”), the required analysis of the environmental effects that would be caused by the Project and has determined those feasible mitigation measures which will eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable level, the adverse environmental impacts of the Project. The environmental effects of the proposed development of the Property were originally analyzed by the Greenbriar Residential Development Project EIR (as defined in Section 1.7.1) certified by City on [______] in connection with the Project. City has also adopted a mitigation monitoring and reporting program (the “MMRP”) to ensure that those mitigation measures incorporated as part of, or imposed on, the Project are enforced and completed. Those mitigation measures for which Developer is responsible are incorporated into, and required by, the Project Approvals. City has also adopted findings of fact and statements of overriding considerations for those adverse environmental impacts of the Project that may not or cannot be mitigated to an acceptable level.
H. In addition to the Project Approvals, the Project may require various additional land use and construction approvals, termed Subsequent Approvals (as defined in Section 1.7.6), in connection with development of the Project.
I. On March 11, 2025, the City of Brea Planning Commission (“Planning Commission”), the initial hearing body for purposes of development agreement review, adopted its recommendation to the City Council regarding approval of this Development Agreement pursuant to Resolution No. 2025-04. On [date], the City of Brea City Council (“City Council”) adopted its Ordinance No. [____] approving this Development Agreement and authorizing its execution.
J. For the reasons recited herein, City and Developer have determined that the Project is a development for which this Development Agreement is appropriate to eliminate uncertainty regarding Project Approvals (including the Subsequent Approvals), thereby encouraging planning for, investment in and commitment to use and development of the Property; to use and develop the Property for substantial housing, employment, and property tax benefits as well as other public benefits to City; and to contribute to the provision of needed infrastructure for area growth, thereby achieving the goals and purposes for which the Development Agreement Legislation was enacted.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises set forth herein, City and Developer agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1 Parties.
1.1.1 City. City is the City of Brea, a California municipal corporation.

3 Development Agreement, shall include any permitted assignee or successor-in-interest as herein provided.
1.2 Relationship of Parties.

1.3 Property Subject to this Development Agreement. All of the Property, as described in Exhibit A and shown in Exhibit B, shall be subject to this Development Agreement.

PUBLIC BENEFITS
2.1 Public Benefits. In consideration of, and in reliance on, City agreeing to the provisions of this Development Agreement, City has determined that the Project will, among other public benefits, reduce uncertainties in planning and provide for the orderly development of the Project site; provide new for-sale housing opportunities to attract new residents to the City; provide for affordable housing; and generate new property revenues for the City.
2.2 Affordable Housing.
2.2.1 Number of Affordable Units. The Project shall provide no less than the amount of Affordable Housing identified in Exhibit C, attached hereto. These units shall fulfill the City’s Affordable Housing requirement for the Project set forth at Chapter 20.40 of the City Code or any successor ordinance or regulation.
2.2.2 Affordability Restrictions. Developer agrees that it shall cause the affordable units to be income restricted per Health and Safety Code and rented at affordable rents as defined and published by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee ("CTCAC") of any successor thereto for a minimum of fifty-five (55) years following first occupancy based on AMI for Orange County as determined and published annually by CTCAC for a family of a size appropriate to the unit.

ARTICLE 3.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY
3.1 Development of the Property. The type, density, intensity, configuration of uses allowed, the size and location of buildings and other improvements and provisions for the reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, location of public improvements, including, but not limited to landscaping, irrigation, sidewalk, and drive approaches, together with other terms and conditions of Development applicable to the Project, shall be as set forth in the Project Approvals and this Agreement.
105956\18035781v10
6 3.2 No Affirmative Obligation To Develop. Nothing in this Development Agreement is intended to create any affirmative development obligations to develop the Project at all or in any particular order or manner, or liability in Developer under this Development Agreement if the development fails to occur.
3.3 Timing of Development; Pardee Finding. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over the parties’ agreement, it is the Parties’ intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that, subject to any infrastructure phasing requirements that may be required by the Project Approvals, Developer shall have the right (without obligation) to develop the Property in such order and at such rate and at such times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment, provided, however, that nothing in the forgoing shall relieve Developer from complying with any requirements related to delivery of affordable housing set forth in Exhibit C.
3.4 Moratorium. No City-imposed moratorium or other limitation (whether relating to the rate, timing or sequencing of the development or construction of all or any part of the Property, whether imposed by ordinance, initiative, resolution, policy, order or otherwise, and whether enacted by the City Council, an agency of City, the electorate, or otherwise) affecting parcel or subdivision maps (whether tentative, vesting tentative or final), building permits, occupancy certificates or other entitlements to use or service (including, without limitation, water and sewer) approved, issued or granted within City, or portions of City, shall apply to the Property to the extent such moratorium or other limitation is in conflict with this Agreement; provided, however, the provisions of this Section shall not affect City’s compliance with moratoria or other limitations mandated by other governmental agencies or court-imposed moratoria or other limitations.
3.5 Vested Rights. Developer shall have the vested right, as that term is defined under California law applicable to the development of land or property, to develop the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Project Approvals and this Agreement, and City shall have the right to control Development of the Site in accordance with the provisions of the Project Approvals and this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, only those City ordinances, resolutions, codes, rules, regulations and official policies of the City governing the development and use of land, including, without limitation, the permitted use of land, the density or intensity of use, subdivision requirements, timing and phasing of development, the maximum height and size of buildings, the provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to Project in effect as of the Effective Date (collectively “Applicable Rules”) shall apply to the construction and development of the Project and the Property.
3.6 Applicable Rules, Exclusions. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, “Applicable Rules” excludes any City ordinance, resolution, code, rule, regulation or official policy related to: (i) the conduct of businesses, professions, and occupations; (ii) taxes and assessments; (iii) the amount of any generally applicable Development Impact Fees or Processing Fees charged by the City on a citywide basis; (iv) the control and abatement of nuisances; (v) reasonable requirements to ensure public safety and are made applicable throughout the City; or (vi) the granting of encroachment permits and the conveyance of similar rights and interests that 105956\18035781v10
7 provide for the use of or the entry upon public property or the exercise of the power of eminent domain.
3.7 Changes in Applicable Rules. Changes to the Applicable Rules adopted or enacted by City after the Effective Date (“Future Rules”) shall not apply to the Project to the extent any such changes conflict with Developer’s vested rights under this Agreement. For these purposes, Future Rules would conflict with Developer’s vested rights under this Agreement if they:
(i) materially impede, delay, or increase the cost of developing the Project in conformance with the Project Approvals; or (ii) directly impose new limits or controls on the type, rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of development as allowed under the Project Approvals. Future Rules that conflict with Developer vested rights under this Agreement may nevertheless apply to the Property if consented to in writing by Developer.
3.8 Effect of Changes to State or Federal Laws.
3.8.1 Developer’s vested rights under this Agreement shall not preclude the application to the Project and the Property any changes in City ordinances, regulations, plans, or specifications that are: (i) specifically mandated and required by changes in state or federal laws or regulations as provided in Government Code Section 65869.5 or any successor provision or provisions; (ii) required to ensure access under the Americans with Disabilities Act; or (iii) any and all new health and safety regulations (e.g., fire, building, and seismic, plumbing, and electric codes) that become applicable to the City pursuant to state and federal law.
3.8.2 In the event any changes in state or federal laws prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, City and Developer shall upon request of either Party meet in good faith to determine the feasibility of any modification or suspension of this Agreement that may be necessary to comply with such state or federal law and to determine the effect such modification or suspension would have on the purposes and intent of this Agreement. Following the meeting between the Parties, the provisions of this Development Agreement may, to the extent feasible, and upon mutual agreement of the Parties, be modified or suspended, but only to the minimum extent necessary to comply with such State or Federal Law.
3.8.3 In the event any changes in state or federal laws operates to frustrate irremediably and materially the Developer’s vested rights under this Agreement, Developer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or to challenge such state or federal law (by any method, including litigation); provided that Developer shall hold City harmless and City shall have no obligation under this Agreement to support Developer’s challenge. In the event Developer’s challenge is successful, this Development Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise, except that if the Term of this Development Agreement would otherwise terminate during the period of any such challenge and Developer has not commenced with the development of the Project in accordance with this Development Agreement as a result of such challenge, the Term shall be extended for the period of any such challenge.
3.8.4 If any Future Rule or state or federal law expands, extends, enlarges or broadens Developer’s rights to develop the Project, then, (a) if such law is mandatory, the provisions of this Development Agreement shall be modified as may be necessary to comply or 105956\18035781v10
8 conform with such new law, and (b) if such law is permissive, City will meet and confer with Developer regarding the provisions of this Development Agreement may be modified under the new law. Immediately after enactment of any such new law, upon Developer’s request, the Parties shall meet and confer in good faith for a period not exceeding sixty (60) days (unless such period is extended by mutual written consent of the Parties) to prepare such modification. Developer shall have the right to challenge City’s refusal to apply any new law mandating expansion of Developer’s rights under this Development Agreement, and in the event such challenge is successful, this Development Agreement shall be modified to comply with, or conform to, the new law.
3.9 Conflicts. In the event of an irreconcilable conflict between the provisions of the Project Approvals (on the one hand) and the Applicable Rules (on the other hand), the provisions of the Project Approvals shall apply. In the event of a conflict between the Project Approvals (on the one hand) and this Development Agreement, in particular, (on the other hand), the provisions of this Development Agreement shall control.
3.10 Processing Subsequent Approvals.
3.10.1 Processing of Subsequent Approvals. City will accept, make completeness determinations, and process, promptly and diligently, to completion all applications for Subsequent Approvals for the Project, in accordance with the terms of this Development Agreement. City shall not use its authority in considering any application for a discretionary Subsequent Approval to unreasonably prevent or delay development of the Project as set forth in the Project Approvals.
3.10.2 Subsequent CEQA Review. In the event that any additional CEQA documentation is legally required for any discretionary Subsequent Approval for the Project, then the scope of such documentation shall be focused, to the extent consistent with CEQA, on the specific subject matter of the Subsequent Approval.
3.10.3 Additional Staffing. If, at the such time as Developer submits an application for a Subsequent Approval, City informs Developer that current City staff levels do not permit the prompt review Developer’s applications, City may, at the request and sole expense of Developer, hire plan check, inspection and other personnel, or hire additional consultants for such actions, or allocate use of exclusively dedicated staff time,such that the Developer’s timeline can be achieved.
City and Developer shall consult in good faith regarding the terms of a deposit agreement to cover the cost of any additional staffing.
3.10.4 Conditions of Subsequent Approvals. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit City’s authority to impose reasonable conditions on the Subsequent Approvals, including without limitation, normal and customary dedications for rights of way or easements for public access, utilities, water, sewers, and drainage necessary for the Project; provided, however, such conditions and dedications shall not be inconsistent with the Applicable Rules or Project Approvals.
3.11 Developer’s Right to Rebuild. If during the Term of this Agreement, it becomes necessary due to natural disaster, changes in seismic requirements renovate or rebuild the Project or should the buildings located within the Project become functionally outdated, within 105956\18035781v10
9 Developer’s sole discretion, due to changes in technology, then Developer shall have the vested right to renovate or rebuild the Project consistent with the Project Approvals and this Agreement.
3.12 Life of Project Approvals and Subdivision Maps.
3.12.1 Life of Subdivision Maps. The terms of any subdivision or parcel map for the Property, any amendment or reconfiguration thereto, or any subsequent tentative map, shall be automatically extended such that such tentative maps remain in effect for a period of time coterminous with the term of this Development Agreement. If, however, the terms of any subdivision or parcel map for the Property, any amendment or reconfiguration thereto, or any subsequent tentative map is extended beyond the Term of this Agreement, the Term of this Agreement shall not be automatically extended unless amended as provided in this Agreement.
3.12.2 Life of Other Project Approvals. The term of all other Project Approvals shall be automatically extended such that these Project Approvals remain in effect for a period of time at least as long as the term of this Development Agreement.
3.12.3 Termination of Agreement. In the event that this Agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the Term of the Agreement, the term of any subdivision or parcel map or any other Project Approval and the vesting period for any final subdivision map approved as a Project Approval shall be the term otherwise applicable to the approval, inclusive of any approved extensions.
3.13 Infrastructure.
3.13.1 Infrastructure Phasing Flexibility. Notwithstanding the provisions of any phasing requirements in the Project Approvals, Developer and City recognize that economic and market conditions may necessitate changing the order in which the infrastructure is constructed.
Therefore, City and Developer hereby agree that should it become necessary or desirable to develop any portion of the Project’s infrastructure in an order that differs from the order set forth in the Project Approvals, Developer and City shall collaborate and City shall permit any reasonable modification requested by Developer so long as the modification continues to ensure adequate infrastructure is available to serve that portion of the Project being developed.
3.13.2 Infrastructure Capacity. Subject to Developer’s installation of infrastructure in accordance with the requirements of the Project Approvals, City hereby acknowledges that it will have, and shall reserve, sufficient capacity in its infrastructure, services and utility systems, including, without limitation, traffic circulation, storm drainage, flood control, sewer collection, sewer treatment, sanitation service and, except for reasons beyond City’s control, water supply, treatment, distribution and service, as and when necessary to serve the Project as it is developed. To the extent that City renders such services or provides such utilities, City hereby agrees that it will serve the Project and that there shall be no unreasonable restriction on hookups or service for the Project except for reasons beyond City’s control.
3.13.3 Traffic Improvements. In accordance with the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared for the Project, the Developer shall pay its fair-share contribution toward the following 105956\18035781v10
10 roadway improvements prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the Project, to the satisfaction of Community Development Director and/or Public Works Director.

3.13.4 Glenbrook Traffic Contribution. The Developer shall provide one-time funding in amount of $25,000 (the “Glenbrook Traffic Contribution”) for the purposes of the City conducting a comprehensive study of the Glenbrook neighborhood west of Associated Road to analyze various traffic conditions post-construction of the Project, including, but not limited to, cut-through traffic, traffic signal warrants and traffic calming measures, and to implement any improvement measures identified in such study. The Developer shall provide the Glenbrook Traffic Contribution to the City prior to issuance of first Certificate of Occupancy for the Project.

This limitation on damages shall not preclude actions by a Party to enforce payments of monies or the performance of obligations requiring an obligation of money from the other Party under the terms of this Development Agreement including, but not limited to obligations to pay 105956\18035781v10
15 attorneys’ fees and obligations to advance monies or reimburse monies.

ARTICLE 8.
COOPERATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
8.1 Further Actions and Instruments. Each Party to this Development Agreement shall cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the other Party and take all actions necessary to ensure that the Parties receive the benefits of this Development Agreement, subject to satisfaction of the conditions of this Development Agreement. Upon the request of any Party, the other Party shall promptly execute, with acknowledgment or affidavit if reasonably required, and file or record such required instruments and writings and take any actions as may be reasonably necessary under the terms of this Development Agreement to carry out the intent and to fulfill the provisions of this Development Agreement or to evidence or consummate the transactions contemplated by this Development Agreement.
8.2 Regulation by Other Public Agencies. Other public agencies not within the control of City may possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the Property separately from or jointly with City, and this Development Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies. Nevertheless, City shall be bound by, and shall abide by, its covenants and obligations under this Development Agreement in all respects when dealing with any such agency regarding the Property. To the extent that City, the City Council, the Planning Commission or any other board, agency, committee, department or commission of City constitutes and sits as any other board, agency, commission, committee, or department, it shall not take any action that conflicts with City’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event any state or federal resources agency (e.g., California Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army 105956\18035781v10
16 Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board/State Water Resources Control Board, ), in connection with its final issuance of a permit or certification for all or a portion of the Project, imposes requirements that require modifications to the Project, then the Parties will work together in good faith to incorporate such changes into the Project; provided, however, that if Developer appeals or challenges any such permit requirements, then the Parties may defer such changes until the completion of such appeal or challenge.
8.3 Other Governmental Permits and Approvals; Grants. Developer shall apply in a timely manner in accordance with Developer’s construction schedule for the permits and approvals from other governmental or quasi-governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Project as may be required for the development of, or provision of services to, the Project. Developer shall comply with all such permits, requirements and approvals. City shall cooperate with Developer in its endeavors to obtain (a) such permits and approvals and shall, from time to time, at the request of Developer, attempt with due diligence and in good faith to enter into binding agreements with any such entity to ensure the availability of such permits and approvals, or services, at each stage of the development of the Project; and (b) any grants for the Project for which Developer applies.
8.4 Indemnification and Legal Challenge.
8.4.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, Developer must defend, indemnify, and hold the City and its elected officials, officers, contractors serving as City officials, agents, and employees ("Indemnitees") harmless from liability for damage and/or claims for damage for personal injuries, including death, and claims for property damage, and with respect to all other actions and liabilities for damages caused or alleged to have been caused by reason of Developer's activities in connection with the Development and/or construction of the Project, and which may arise from the direct or indirect operations of Developer or those of Developer's contractors, agents, tenants, employees, or any other persons acting on Developer's behalf, which relate to the Development and/or construction of the Project. This indemnity provision applies to all damages and claims for damage, as described above, regardless of whether or not the City prepared, supplied, or approved the plans, specifications, or other documents for the Project, including any associated public or private improvements.
8.4.2 Without limiting the generality of paragraph 8.4.1, Developer shall also defend, indemnify, and hold the Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses arising from or related to any claims that Developer or Developer's contractors are required to pay prevailing wages pursuant to Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., in connection with the Development of the Project.
8.4.3 Without limiting the generality of paragraph 8.4.1, in the event of any legal action challenging the validity, applicability, or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, any of the entitlement documents pertaining to the Project including, without limitation, the City's General Plan, Zoning Code, or any other supporting document relating to the Project, Developer shall also indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnitees with respect to all liability, costs, and expenses incurred by, and/or awarded against, the City or any of the Indemnitees in relation to such action.
105956\18035781v10
17 8.4.4 With respect to any legal action or claim falling within Developer's defense, indemnity, and hold harmless obligations, the City shall have the right to select counsel of its choice and the parties shall cooperate in the defense. Developer shall provide, and maintain for the duration of such action or claim, a cash deposit to City in an amount or amounts determined by the City Attorney to be reasonably necessary to cover the City's legal fees, costs, and expenses.
Developer shall not be entitled to a refund of funds expended from the deposit regardless of the outcome of the action or claim. The City shall refund to Developer any unexpended funds from the deposit within thirty (30) days of any final disposition or full and complete settlement of the action or claim.
8.4.5 In the event of any litigation challenging the effectiveness of this Agreement, or any portion hereof, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while such litigation, including any appellate review, is pending, unless otherwise ordered by the court.
Absent issuance of an injunction, Developer may elect to continue Development under this Agreement pending completion of the litigation but it shall do so at its sole risk, and the City shall not be liable for any loss suffered as a result thereof. City shall take all actions it deems reasonably necessary or advisable to uphold the validity and enforceability of this Agreement. If this Agreement is adjudicated or determined to be invalid or unenforceable, City agrees, subject to all legal requirements, to consider modifications to this Agreement to render it valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law, maintain the integrity of the Project Approvals, and avoid or minimize to the greatest extent possible any material limitation to, or frustration of, Developer’s vested rights under this Agreement.
8.4.6 This Section 8.4 shall survive this the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

9.1 Right to Assign. Developer shall have the right to sell, assign or transfer (“Transfer”) in whole or in part its rights, duties and obligations under this Development Agreement, to any person or entity at any time during the Term of this Development Agreement without the consent of City; provided, however, in no event shall the rights, duties and obligations conferred upon Developer pursuant to this Development Agreement be at any time so Transferred except through a transfer of the Property. In the event of a transfer of a portion of the Property, Developer shall have the right to Transfer its rights, duties and obligations under this Development Agreement that are applicable to the transferred portion, and to retain all rights, duties and obligations applicable to the retained portions of the Property. Upon Developer’s request, City shall cooperate with Developer and any proposed transferee to identify completed obligations and allocate rights, duties and obligations under this Development Agreement and the Project Approvals among the transferred Property and the retained Property.
9.2 Release upon Transfer. Upon the Transfer of Developer’s rights and interests under this Development Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, Developer shall automatically be released from its obligations and liabilities under this Development Agreement with respect to that portion of the Property transferred, and any subsequent default or breach with respect to the Transferred rights and/or obligations shall not constitute a default or breach with respect to the retained rights 105956\18035781v10
18 and/or obligations under this Development Agreement, provided that (i) Developer has provided to City written notice ofsuch Transfer, and (ii) the transferee executes and delivers to City a written agreement in which (a) the name and address of the transferee is set forth and (b) the transferee expressly and unconditionally assumes all of the obligations of Developer under this Development Agreement with respect to that portion of the Property transferred. Upon any transfer of any portion of the Property and the express assumption of Developer’s obligations under this Agreement by such transferee, City agrees to look solely to the transferee for compliance by such transferee with the provisions of this Agreement as such provisions relate to the portion of the Property acquired by such transferee. A default by any transferee shall only affect that portion of the Property owned by such transferee and shall not cancel or diminish in any way Developer’s rights hereunder with respect to any portion of the Property not owned by such transferee. The transferor and the transferee shall each be solely responsible for the reporting and annual review requirements relating to the portion of the Property owned by such transferor/transferee, and any amendment to this Agreement between City and a transferor or a transferee shall only affect the portion of the Property owned by such transferor or transferee. Failure to deliver a written assumption agreement hereunder shall not affect the running of any covenants herein with the land, as provided in Section 9.3 below, nor shall such failure negate, modify or otherwise affect the liability of any transferee pursuant to the provisions of this Development Agreement.
9.3 Covenants Run with the Land. All of the provisions, agreements, rights, powers, standards, terms, covenants and obligations contained in this Development Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors (by merger, reorganization, consolidation, or otherwise) and assigns, devisees, administrators, representatives, lessees, and all of the persons or entities acquiring the Property or any portion thereof, or any interest therein, whether by operation of law or in any manner whatsoever, and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) and assigns. All of the provisions of this Development Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and constitute covenants running with the land pursuant to applicable law, including but not limited to, Section 1468 of the Civil Code of the State of California. Each covenant to do, or refrain from doing, some act on the Property hereunder (i) is for the benefit of such Property and is a burden upon such Property, (ii) runs with such Property, (iii) is binding upon each Party and each successive owner during its ownership of such Property or any portion thereof, and (iv) each person or entity having any interest therein derived in any manner through any owner of such Property, or any portion thereof, and shall benefit the Property hereunder, and each other person or entity succeeding to an interest in such Property.
ARTICLE 10.
MORTGAGEE PROTECTION; CERTAIN RIGHTS OF CURE
10.1 Mortgagee Protection. This Agreement shall not prevent or limit Developer in any manner, at Developer’s sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device securing financing with respect to the Property (“Mortgage”). This Development Agreement shall be superior and senior to any lien placed upon the Property or any portion thereof after the date of recording this Development Agreement, including the lien of any Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no breach hereof shall defeat, render invalid, diminish or impair the lien of any Mortgage made in good faith and for value, but all of the terms and conditions contained in this 105956\18035781v10
19 Development Agreement shall be binding upon and effective against and inure to the benefit of any person or entity, including any deed of trust beneficiary or mortgagee (“Mortgagee”) who acquires title to the Property, or any portion thereof, by foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise.
10.2 Mortgagee Not Obligated. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1 above, no Mortgagee shall have any obligation or duty under this Development Agreement to perform Developer’s obligations or other affirmative covenants of Developer hereunder; provided, however, that a Mortgagee shall not be entitled to devote the Property to any uses or to construct any improvements thereon other than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized by this Development Agreement, or by the Project Approvals and Applicable Rules.
10.3 Notice of Default to Mortgagee; Right of Mortgagee to Cure. If City receives a notice from a Mortgagee requesting a copy of any Notice of Default given to Developer hereunder and specifying the address for service thereof, then City shall deliver to such Mortgagee, concurrently with service thereon to Developer, any notice given to Developer with respect to any claim by City that Developer has committed a default, and if City makes a determination of noncompliance hereunder, City shall likewise serve notice of such noncompliance on such Mortgagee concurrently with service thereof on Developer. Each Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) during the same period available to Developer to cure or remedy, or to commence to cure or remedy, the Event of Default claimed or the areas of noncompliance set forth in City’s notice.
10.4 No Supersedure. Nothing in this Article 10 shall be deemed to supersede or release a Mortgagee or modify a Mortgagee’s obligations under any subdivision improvement agreement or other obligation incurred with respect to the Project outside this Development Agreement, nor shall any provision of this Article 10 constitute an obligation of City to such Mortgagee, except as to the notice requirements of Section 10.3.
10.5 Technical Amendments to this Article 10. City agrees to reasonably consider and approve interpretations and/or technical amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are required by lenders for the acquisition and construction of the improvements on the Property or any refinancing thereof and to otherwise cooperate in good faith to facilitate Developer’s negotiations with lenders.

20 11.2 Force Majeure. The Term of this Development Agreement and the Project Approvals and the time within which Developer shall be required to perform any act under this Development Agreement shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days during which performance of such act is delayed unavoidably and beyond the reasonable control of the Party seeking the delay by strikes, lock-outs and other labor difficulties, Acts of God, inclement weather, failure or inability to secure materials or labor by reason of priority or similar regulations or order of any governmental or regulatory body, changes in local, state or federal laws or regulations, any development moratorium or any action of other public agencies that regulate land use, development or the provision of services prevents, prohibits or delays construction of the Project, enemy action, riots, insurrections, civil disturbances, wars, terrorist acts, fire, unavoidable casualties, pandemic, government mandated shutdowns or government closure (meaning any of the following events: (a) the governmental offices where any action required under this Agreement (collectively, “Government Offices”) are not open for business and any Government Offices’ systems are not operational such that such action cannot occur; (b) any other third party is not open for business such that its services required as necessary for a Party to perform obligations under this Agreement cannot be performed; (c) overnight couriers are not operating such that any documents cannot be delivered to the extent such documents are required to be originals; or (d) financial institutions or wire transfer systems are not operating, such that, as part of consummation of financial transactions contemplated hereby cannot occur), litigation involving this Agreement or the Project Approvals, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Developer which substantially interferes with carrying out the development of the Project. Such extension(s) of time shall not constitute an Event of Default and shall occur at the request of any Party.

Furthermore, in the event the issuance of a building permit for any part of the Project is delayed as a result of Developer’s inability to obtain any other required permit or approval, then the Term of this Development Agreement shall be extended by the period of any such delay.
11.3 Notices, Demands and Communications Between the Parties. Formal written notices, demands, correspondence and communications between City and Developer shall be sufficiently given if delivered personally (including delivery by private courier) or delivered by nationally recognized overnight courier service to the offices of City and Developer indicated below.

11.4 Project as a Private Undertaking; No Joint Venture or Partnership. The Project constitutes private development, neither City nor Developer is acting as the agent of the other in any respect hereunder, and City and Developer are independent entities with respect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Development Agreement or in any document executed in connection with this Development Agreement shall be construed as making City and Developer joint venturers or partners.
11.5 Non-Intended Prevailing Wage Requirements. Nothing in this Development Agreement shall in any way require, or be construed to require, Developer to pay prevailing wages with respect to any work of construction or improvement within the Project (a “Non-Intended Prevailing Wage Requirement”). But for the understanding of the Parties as reflected in the immediately preceding sentence, the Parties would not have entered into this Development 105956\18035781v10
22 Agreement based upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Developer and City have made every effort in reaching this Development Agreement to ensure that its terms and conditions will not result in a Non-Intended Prevailing Wage Requirement. These efforts have been conducted in the absence of any applicable existing judicial interpretation of which the Parties are aware that would indicate that the terms and conditions of this Agreement would result in a Non-Intended Prevailing Wage Requirement. If, despite such efforts, any provision of this Development Agreement shall be determined by the Department of Industrial Relations, the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, or any court of competent jurisdiction to result in a Non-Intended Prevailing Wage Requirement, such determination shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any provision hereof; provided, however, that the Parties hereby agree that, in such event, at the election of Developer in its sole and absolute discretion, this Development Agreement shall be reformed such that each provision of this Development Agreement that results in the Non-Intended Prevailing Wage Requirement will be removed from this Development Agreement as though such provisions were never a part of the Development Agreement, and, in lieu of such provision(s), replacement provisions shall be added as a part of this Development Agreement as similar in terms to such removed provision(s) as may be possible and legal, valid and enforceable but without resulting in the Non-Intended Prevailing Wage Requirement.
11.6 Severability. If any terms or provision(s) of this Development Agreement or the application of any term(s)or provision(s) of this Development Agreement to a particular situation, is (are) held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Development Agreement or the application of this Development Agreement to other situations, shall remain in full force and effect unless amended or modified by mutual consent of the Parties; provided that, if the invalidation, voiding or enforceability would deprive either City or Developer of material benefits derived from this Development Agreement, or make performance under this Development Agreement unreasonably difficult, then City and Developer shall meet and confer and shall make good faith efforts to amend or modify this Development Agreement in a manner that is mutually acceptable to City and Developer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any material provision of this Development Agreement, or the application of such provision to a particular situation, is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, Developer (in its sole and absolute discretion) may terminate this Development Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to City.
11.7 Section Headings. Article and Section headings in this Development Agreement are for convenience only and are not intended to be used in interpreting or construing the terms, covenants or conditions of this Development Agreement.
11.8 Construction of Agreement. This Development Agreement has been reviewed and revised by legal counsel for both Developer and City, and no presumption or rule that ambiguities shall be construed against the drafting Party shall apply to the interpretation or enforcement of this Development Agreement.
11.9 Entire Agreement. This Development Agreement includes the Recitals and any exhibits attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein, which, together with the Project Approvals, constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties and supersedes all 105956\18035781v10
23 negotiations or previous agreements between the Parties with respect to all or any part of the subject matter hereof. The exhibits are as follows:
Exhibit A Legal Description of the Property
Exhibit B Map of the Property

11.10 Estoppel Certificates. Either Party may, at any time during the Term of this Development Agreement, and from time to time, deliver written notice to the other Party requesting such Party to certify in writing that, to the knowledge of the certifying Party, (i) this Development Agreement is in full force and effect and a binding obligation of the Parties, (ii) this Development Agreement has not been amended or modified either orally or in writing, or if amended; identifying the amendments, (iii) the requesting Party is not in default in the performance of its obligations under this Development Agreement, or if in default, to describe therein the nature and amount of any such defaults, and (iv) any other information reasonably requested. The Party receiving a request hereunder shall execute and return such certificate or give a written, detailed response explaining why it will not do so within twenty (20) days following the receipt thereof.
The failure of either Party to provide the requested certificate within such twenty (20) day period shall constitute a confirmation that this Agreement is in full force and effect and no modification or default exists. Either the City Manager or the Community Development Director shall have the right to execute any certificate requested by Developer hereunder. City acknowledges that a certificate hereunder may be relied upon by transferees and Mortgagees.
11.11 Recordation. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65868.5, within ten (10) days after the later of execution of the Parties of this Development Agreement or the Effective Date, the City Clerk shall record this Development Agreement with the Orange County Recorder.
Thereafter, if this Development Agreement is terminated, modified or amended, the City Clerk shall record notice of such action with the Orange County Recorder.
11.12 No Waiver. No delay or omission by either Party in exercising any right or power accruing upon noncompliance or failure to perform by the other Party under any of the provisions of this Development Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by either Party of any of the covenants or conditions to be performed by the other Party shall be in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of a waiver is sought, and any such waiver shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or non-performance of the same or other covenants and conditions hereof.
11.13 Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence for each provision of this Development Agreement for which time is an element.
11.14 Applicable Law; Venue. This Development Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

105956\18035781v10
24 11.15 Attorneys’ Fees. Should any legal action be brought by either Party because of a breach of this Development Agreement or to enforce any provision of this Development Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and such other costs as may be found by the court. Attorneys’ fees under this Section shall include attorneys’ fees on any appeal and, in addition, a Party entitled to attorneys’ fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation, expert witness fees, incurred in connection with such action. In addition to the foregoing award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, the prevailing party in any lawsuit shall be entitled to its attorneys’ fees incurred in any post-judgment proceedings to collect or enforce the judgment. This provision is separate and several and shall survive the merger of this Agreement into any judgment on this Agreement.
11.16 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided herein, City and Developer hereby renounce the existence of any third party beneficiary to this Development Agreement and agree that nothing contained herein shall be construed as giving any other person or entity third party beneficiary status.
11.17 Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every person who now or hereafter owns or acquires any right, title or interest in or to any portion of the Property is and shall be conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to every provision contained herein, whether or not any reference to this Development Agreement is contained in the instrument by which such person acquired an interest in the Property.
11.18 Counterparts. This Development Agreement may be executed by each Party on a separate signature page, and when the executed signature pages are combined, shall constitute one single instrument.
11.19 Authority. The persons signing below represent and warrant that they have the authority to bind their respective Party and that all necessary board of directors’, shareholders’, partners’, city councils’, redevelopment agencies’ or other approvals have been obtained.
11.20 Conflicts of Interest; Prohibited Interests. Developer warrants and maintains as of the Effective Date of this Agreement that it has no knowledge that any officer or employee of City has any interest, whether contractual, noncontractual, financial, proprietary, or otherwise, in this transaction or in the business of Developer. If any information regarding an officer of employee of the City having an interest in this transaction or in the business of Developer as of the Effective Date of this Agreement comes to the knowledge of Developer at any time during the Term of this Agreement, Developer shall immediately make a complete, written disclosure of such interest to the City, even if such interest would not be deemed a prohibited “conflict of interest” under applicable laws. If the City subsequently is provided information that Developer had knowledge but failed to disclose knowledge of any such interest, and Developer fails to acknowledge such interest within fourteen (14) days of notification by the City, Developer’s failure shall constitute a breach of the Agreement.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN
This Affordable Housing Plan sets forth the manner in which the Project will comply with the affordable housing requirements set forth in Brea City Code, Chapter 20.40 and in accordance with the Project Approvals, the Applicable Rules, and this Development Agreement. Pursuant to Chapter 20.40, the Project is required to include a minimum number of affordable housing units on the Property at one of the following levels unless the City approves the use of an alternative to developing affordable units on the Property.
Municipal Code Options for Rate
of Affordable Housing
Resulting Minimum Requirement
at Each Optional Level
5% Extremely Low Income 9 Extremely Low Units
10% Very Low Income 18 Very Low Units
15% Low Income 27 Low Income Units
20% Moderate Income 36 Moderate Income Units
30% Workforce Housing 54 Workforce Housing Units
In lieu of providing the required affordable units on the Property, the Project shall be permitted to meets its obligations in the following manner.
OPTION 1
OFF SITE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT
In lieu of providing deed-restricted affordable housing on site within the Project, Developer shall have the option to acquire and convey the Off-Site Property to an experienced third-party affordable housing developer (the “Affordable Developer”) approved by the City, acting reasonably, for development of an 100% affordable housing project on the Off-Site Property (the “Off-Site Affordable Housing Project”). Developer’s conveyance of the Off-Site Property to the Affordable Developer must ensure that the Off-Site Affordable Housing Project meets the following minimum requirements:
• There must be at least 85 total units, including:
o Sixty eight (68) 1-Bedroom, 1-Bath units,
o Sixteen (16) 2-Bedroom, 1-Bath units, and
o One (1) Manager Unit
• Units must be provided at the following minimum numbers and affordability levels:
o 9 Extremely Low (30% TCAC Rents)
o 9 Very Low (50% TCAC Rents)
o 66 Lower (30 @ 60% TCAC Rents and 36 @ 70% TCAC Rents). 105956\18035781v10 Exhibit C - 2
• Lower income units shall be restricted to a maximum affordable rent of up to 80% AMI for Orange County as determined and published annually by California Tax Credit Allocation Committee for a family of a size appropriate to the unit. • To the maximum extent permitted by law, Developer will implement a point system to afford preference for such units based on Brea residency and Brea employment.
Developer acknowledges and agrees: (1) the Off-Site Property is currently subject to Development Agreement No. 19-01 and the associated Affordable Housing Agreement and Restrictive Covenant for development of a five-story building containing 114 multi-family units, including restricted rents between the low and moderate income threshold for 80 residential unit; (2) nothing in this Development Agreement shall require City to approve the Off-Site Affordable Housing Project or related requests, provided City will consider in good faith all applications for necessary City entitlements; and (3) development of the Off-Site Affordable Housing Project will likely depend on the Affordable Developer’s ability to obtain sufficient financing from multiple sources and that the failure to secure sufficient financing may render the Off-Site Affordable Housing Project infeasible. Nothing in this Affordable Housing Plan, the Project Approvals, the Applicable Rules, or this Development Agreement shall relieve Developer of its affordable housing obligations in the event the Off-Site Affordable Housing Project is not completed for any reasons whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in this Affordable Housing Plan.
OPTION 2
ALTERNATIVE CONVEYANCE OF OFF-SITE PROPERTY
If, on or before issuance of first Certificate of Occupancy within the Project: (1) the necessary financing for the Off-Site Affordable Housing Project fails to close; or (2) City determines, in its sole discretion, that the Affordable Developer will be unable to complete the Off-Site Affordable Housing Project; then Developer must meet its affordable obligations by conveying the Off-Site Property to City subject to the following requirements:
• Conveyance shall be by grant deed in a form approved by the City Attorney. • Off-Site Property must be free of any liens and conveyed to City at no cost. • Developer shall disclose any and all encumbrances or easements on the title of the land, and all encumbrances and easements must be factored into its estimated value. • Off-Site Property must be free of any hazardous materials and if any hazardous materials previously contained on the site, Developer must provide evidence that full remediation was performed in accordance with all applicable law.
The Project shall be deemed to have fulfilled its affordable housing obligations upon recordation of the grant deed.
105956\18035781v10 Exhibit C - 3
OPTION 3
ON SITE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
In the event that Developer is unable to convey the Off-Site Property to City in accordance with all of the requirements set forth in Option 2, above, the Project must provide affordable units on the Property and within the Project in accordance with all requirements of the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance in effect as of the Effective Date, described above.

This report has been prepared and is submitted for consideration by the City Council of the City of Brea under the authority of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 as set forth in Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

The creating of Lighting and Maintenance District No. 1 in the City of Brea was a requirement of the City of Brea for the development of Tentative Tract No. 8820, known as the "Canyon Country" development project. The amended Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 was subsequently formed June 1, 1982 by Resolution No. 82-59.
The formation of the amended district and the levy of the first annual assessment was completed in accordance with the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 on June 1, 1982.
The purpose of this report is to be utilized by the City Staff, the City Council, and the County Assessor in the levy and collection of an annual assessment after formation of an assessment district under the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (State of California and Highways Code, Section 22620 to 22631).

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and landscaping.
Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the 1972 Act) requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" based on the actual benefit rather than a "special tax."
ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The parcels of land in the District are single family residential (SFR) lots, with each of these lots benefiting equally from the improvements being maintained. Therefore, the costs associated with the landscaping and lighting within and directly adjacent to the tract will be apportioned on a residential lot basis as follows:
$55,929 / 103 SFR's = $543.00 / SFR

Introduction and Background
Introduction:
This report has been prepared and is submitted for consideration by the City Council of the City of Brea under the authority of the Landscaping and Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 as set forth in Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.
Background:
The City Council of the City of Brea adopted and approved Resolution No. 78-76, creating Lighting and Maintenance District No. 2 in the City of Brea.
The creation of Lighting and Maintenance District No. 2 in the City of Brea was a requirement of the City of Brea for the development of Tentative Tract No. 8857, known as "North Hills" development project.
No landscape maintenance is included in this district as the slopes are to be maintained by the homeowner or the homeowners' association, as required by the Conditions of Approval for Tentative Tract No. 8857.
The formation of the district and the levy of the first annual assessment was completed in accordance with the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 on July 5, 1978, by City Council Resolution No. 78-76.
The purpose of this report is to be utilized by the staff, the City Council, and the County Assessor in the levy and collection of an annual assessment after formation of an assessment district under the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (State of California Streets and Highways Code, Section 22620 to 22631).

PART C
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and landscaping.
Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the 1972 Act) requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value.
This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" based on the actual benefit rather than a "special tax."
ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The North Hills Development project (Tract Nos. 9227, 9228 and 8857 in the City of Brea) was developed under conditions of development required by the City Council of the City of Brea.
The parcels of land in the District are single-family residential (SFR) lots, with each of these lots benefiting equally from the improvements being maintained. Therefore, the costs associated with the landscaping and lighting within and directly adjacent to the tract will be apportioned on a residential lot basis as follows:
$5,495 / 297 SFR's = $18.50 / SFR

Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District No. 3, FY 2025-26 Page 1 Introduction and Background
Introduction:
This report has been prepared and is submitted for consideration by the City Council of the City of Brea under the authority of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 as set forth in Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, Article XIIID of the California Constitution, and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act.
Background:
The City Council of the City of Brea adopted Resolution No. 78-77 on July 5, 1978 creating Lighting and Maintenance District No. 3. This Lighting and Maintenance District was a condition of development for Tract No. 8242 in the City of Brea.
Tract No. 8242 was planned and has been developed adjacent to a 40-foot MWD easement for the MWD Lower Feeder, which diagonally traverses the property limits of Tract No. 8242.
This MWD easement was graded (within the limits of MWD specifications) and landscaped (under conditions of development) to act as a greenbelt trail area for the residents of the tract.
In addition to the MWD easement greenbelt, another landscaping greenbelt area was completed in a 20-foot easement adjacent to Birch Street.
In order to assure the maintenance of the greenbelts and the payment of fees for maintaining the greenbelt and the cost of energy for theme lighting, a condition of development was the requirement that a Lighting and Maintenance District be formed over the entire limits of Tract No. 8242.
In FY 2003-04, the property owners submitted ballots and approved an increase in assessment rate. Included in that balloting was an annual CPI escalator which allows the assessment rate to keep up with the cost of living. The annual escalator sets the maximum rate that the properties might be assessed.
The purpose of this report is to be utilized by the City Staff, the City Council, and the County Assessor in the levy and collection of an annual assessment after formation of an assessment district under the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (State of California and Highways Code, Section 22620 to 22631).

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and landscaping.
Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the 1972 Act) requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" based on the actual benefit rather than a "special tax." In addition, Proposition 218, the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which was approved on the November 1996 Statewide ballot and added Article XIIID to the California Constitution, requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. XIIID also requires that publicly owned property which benefit from the improvements be assessed.
SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Street Landscaping, Slopes and Greenbelts. Trees, landscaping, hardscaping and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, provide beautification, shade and enhancement of the desirability of the surroundings, and therefore increase property value.
In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V. Hubbard in 1937, it is stated:
"... there is no lack of opinion, based on general principals and experience and common sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property, even though the amount cannot be determined exactly.... Indeed, in most cases where public money has been spent for parkways the assumption has been definitely made that the proposed parkway will show a provable financial profit to the City. It has been believed that the establishment of parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City, or in parts of the City,..." It should be noted that the definition of "parkways" above may include the roadway as well as the landscaping along side the roadway.
The ongoing operation and maintenance of the street landscaping, slopes and greenways within the City of Brea April 15, 2025
Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District No. 3, FY 2025-26 Page 5 district, as identified in Part A of this Report, provide beautification to the areas that result in a special benefit to the parcels within the tracts adjacent to the improvements. If these landscaped areas were not properly maintained, the tract would be blighted.
Theme Lighting. Proper maintenance and operation of pedestrian and street lights benefit all properties within the District by providing security, safety and community character and vitality as outlined below. Streetlights provide only incidental benefits to motorists traveling to, from or through the area.
BENEFITS OF STREET LIGHTING
Security and Safety
Mitigates crime
Alleviates the fear of crime
Enhances safe ingress/egress to property
Community Character and Vitality
Promotes social interaction
Contributes to a positive nighttime visual image
ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The parcels of land in the District are single family residential (SFR) lots, with each of these lots benefiting equally from the improvements being maintained. Therefore, the costs associated with the landscaping and lighting within and directly adjacent to the tract will be apportioned on a residential lot basis as follows:
$116,693.48/ 188 SFR’s = $620.71 / SFR
This assessment rate is the maximum rate. This maximum assessment rate will be increased each year by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), All Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles, Long Beach and Anaheim areas. The actual assessments levied in any fiscal year will be as approved by the City Council and may not exceed the maximum assessment rate without receiving property owner approval for the increase. The calculation for the maximum assessment rate is provided in the table below. The increase in CPI for FY 2025-26 is 3.3%.

Introduction and Background
Introduction:
This report has been prepared and is submitted for consideration by the City Council of the City of Brea under the authority of the Landscaping and Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 as set forth in Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.
Background:
The City Council of the City of Brea adopted Resolution No. 78-7 on January 3, 1978 approving Tentative Tract 9298 and the condition therefore for the improvement of Tentative Tract 9298.
On May 26, 1981, the City Council of the City of Brea by minute motion deleted paragraph AA of PC 91-77 of the Planning Commission of the City of Brea and ordered the creation of a lighting Maintenance District for Street Lighting only. No landscape maintenance requirements are included in this report, as the areas that are landscaped are being maintained by the Homeowners' Association under the requirements of the development upon the sale of any portion of Tentative Tract 9298. The formation of the district and the levy of the first annual assessment were completed in accordance with the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 on July 5, 1978, by City Council Resolution No. 78-76.
The purpose of this report is to be utilized by the staff, the City Council, and the County Assessor in the levy and collection of an annual assessment after formation of an assessment district under the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (State of California Streets and Highways Code, Section 22620 to 22631).

PART C
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and landscaping.
Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the 1972 Act) requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value.
This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" based on the actual benefit rather than a "special tax."
ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The Park Paseo Development project (Tract Numbers 10224, 10324, 10325, 10326, 10327 and 9298, all a portion of Tentative Tract No. 9298 in the City of Brea) was developed under conditions of development as required by the City Council of the City of Brea.
The parcels of land in the District are single family residential (SFR) lots, with each of these lots benefiting equally from the improvements being maintained. Therefore, the costs associated with the landscaping and lighting within and directly adjacent to the tract will be apportioned on a residential lot basis as follows:
$2,760 / 230 SFR’s = $12.00 / SFR

Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District No. 5, FY 2025-26 Page 1 Introduction and Background
Introduction:
This report has been prepared and is submitted for consideration by the City Council of the City of Brea under the authority of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 as set forth in Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, Article XIIID of the California Constitution, and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act.
Background:
On June 1, 1982 the City Council of the City of Brea adopted and approved Resolution No. 82- 57 creating Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 5 in the City of Brea.
The creating of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 5 in the City of Brea was a requirement of the City of Brea for the development of Tentative Tract No. 8820, known as "Canyon Country," and Tentative Tract No. 9414, known as "Canyondale." In FY 2003-04, the property owners submitted ballots and approved an increase in assessment rate. Included in that balloting was an annual CPI escalator that will allow the assessment rate to keep up with the cost of living. The annual escalator sets the maximum rate that the properties might be assessed.
The purpose of this report is to be utilized by the City Staff, the City Council, and the County Assessor in the levy and collection of an annual assessment after formation of an assessment district under the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (State of California and Highways Code, Section 22620 to 22631).

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and landscaping.
Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the 1972 Act) requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" based on the actual benefit rather than a "special tax." In addition, Proposition 218, the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which was approved on the November 1996 Statewide ballot and added Article XIIID to the California Constitution, requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. XIIID also requires that publicly owned property which benefit from the improvements be assessed.
SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Street Landscaping, Slopes and Greenbelts. Trees, landscaping, hardscaping and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, provide beautification, shade and enhancement of the desirability of the surroundings, and therefore increase property value.
In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V. Hubbard in 1937, it is stated:
"... there is no lack of opinion, based on general principals and experience and common sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property, even though the amount cannot be determined exactly.... Indeed, in most cases where public money has been spent for parkways the assumption has been definitely made that the proposed parkway will show a provable financial profit to the City. It has been believed that the establishment of parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City, or in parts of the City,..." It should be noted that the definition of "parkways" above may include the roadway as well as the landscaping along side the roadway.
The ongoing operation and maintenance of the street landscaping, slopes and greenways within the City of Brea April 15, 2025
Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District No. 5, FY 2025-26 Page 5 district, as identified in Part A of this Report, provide beautification to the areas that result in a special benefit to the parcels within the tracts adjacent to the improvements. If these landscaped areas were not properly maintained, the tract would be blighted.
Theme Lighting. Proper maintenance and operation of pedestrian and street lights benefit all properties within the District by providing security, safety and community character and vitality as outlined below. Streetlights provide only incidental benefits to motorists traveling to, from or through the area.
BENEFITS OF STREET LIGHTING
Security and Safety
Mitigates crime
Alleviates the fear of crime
Enhances safe ingress/egress to property
Community Character and Vitality
Promotes social interaction
Contributes to a positive nighttime visual image
ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The parcels of land in the District are single family residential (SFR) lots, with each of these lots benefiting equally from the improvements being maintained. Therefore, the costs associated with the landscaping and lighting within and directly adjacent to the tract will be apportioned on a residential lot basis as follows:
$122,305.55 / 113 SFR’s = $1,082.35 / SFR
This assessment rate is not considered a maximum rate. This maximum assessment rate will be increased each year by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), All Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles, Long Beach and Anaheim areas. The actual assessments levied in any fiscal year will be as approved by the City Council and may not exceed the maximum assessment rate without receiving property owner approval for the increase. The calculation for the maximum assessment rate is provided in the table below. The increase in CPI for FY 2025-26 is 3.3%.

Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District No. 6, FY 2025-26 Page 1 Introduction and Background
Introduction:
This report has been prepared and is submitted for consideration by the City Council of the City of Brea under the authority of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 as set forth in Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.
Background:
On June 1, 1982 the City Council of the City of Brea adopted and approved Resolution No. 83- 58 creating Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 in the City of Brea.
The creating of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 in the City of Brea was a requirement of the City of Brea for the development of Tentative Tract No. 8820, known as the "Canyon Country" development project.
In FY 2005-06, the property owners submitted ballots and approved an increase in assessment rate. Included in that balloting was an annual CPI escalator that will allow the assessment rate to keep up with the cost of living. The annual escalator sets the maximum rate that the properties might be assessed.
The purpose of this report is to be utilized by the City Staff, the City Council, and the County Assessor in the levy and collection of an annual assessment after formation of an assessment district under the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (State of California and Highways Code, Section 22620 to 22631).

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and landscaping.
Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the 1972 Act) requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" based on the actual benefit rather than a "special tax."
ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The parcels of land in the District are single family residential (SFR) lots, with each of these lots benefiting equally from the improvements being maintained. Therefore, the costs associated with the landscaping and lighting within and directly adjacent to the tract will be apportioned on a residential lot basis as follows:
$236,297.25 / 135 SFR's = $1,750.35 / SFR
This assessment rate is not the maximum rate. The maximum assessment rate will be increased each year by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), All Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles, Long Beach and Anaheim areas. The actual assessments levied in any fiscal year will be as approved by the City Council and may not exceed the maximum assessment rate without receiving property owner approval for the increase. The calculation for the maximum assessment rate is provided in the table below. The increase in CPI for FY 2025-26 is 3.3%.

Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District No. 7, FY 2025-26 Page 1 Introduction and Background
Introduction:
This report has been prepared and is submitted for consideration by the City Council of the City of Brea under the authority of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 as set forth in Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.
Background:
On August 1, 1995 the City Council of the City of Brea adopted and approved Resolution No. 95-85 creating Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 7 in the City of Brea.
The creating of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 7 in the City of Brea was a requirement of the City of Brea for the development of Tract Nos. 14658, 14657, 15670 and 14656.
The formation of the district and the levy of the first annual assessment was completed in accordance with the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 on August 1, 1995.
In FY 2007-08, the property owners submitted ballots and approved an increase in assessment rate. Included in that balloting was an annual CPI escalator that will allow the assessment rate to keep up with the cost of living. The annual escalator sets the maximum rate that the properties might be assessed.
The purpose of this report is to be utilized by the City Staff, the City Council, and the County Assessor in the levy and collection of an annual assessment after formation of an assessment district under the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (State of California and Highways Code, Section 22620 to 22631).

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and landscaping.
Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the 1972 Act) requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" based on the actual benefit rather than a "special tax."
ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The parcels of land in the District are single family residential (SFR) lots, with each of these lots benefiting equally from the improvements being maintained. Therefore, the costs associated with the landscaping and lighting within and directly adjacent to the tract will be apportioned on a residential lot basis as follows:
$35,047.68 / 96 SFR’s = $365.08 / SFR
This assessment rate is the maximum rate.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends that the City Council take the following action.
1. Receive and file the Monthly Report of Investments.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Monthly Report of Investments is prepared in accordance with Government Code Sections (GCS) 41004 and 53607 and contains information on the City's investment activities for the month of March. Cash for day-to-day activities is deposited in the demand and interest-bearing checking accounts. The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is used for short-term investments and functions like a savings account. In addition, on June 6, 2023, with the recommendation of the Investment Advisory Committee, the City Council authorized the use of Treasury Bills and other short-term investments (City Liquidity account) as a LAIF alternative. The City’s investment portfolio is for long-term investments and is managed through Chandler Asset Management (Chandler). Together, the short and long-term investment accounts represent the City’s investment portfolio.
Attachment A includes an Investment Information Summary and Monthly Account Statement prepared by Chandler. The book value represents the cost of investments, plus or minus amortization/accretion. As of March 31, 2025, the total market value of the managed investment portfolio, including accrued interest, was $95,911,575 as compared to $95,452,135 at February 28, 2025. The weighted average investment yield for March 31, 2025 was 3.64%, which was slightly higher than the prior month. The City’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) had a total market value, including accrued interest of $20,102,170 at March 31, 2025. Also, the balance of the City's Liquidity account at March 31, 2025 was $3,329, which brings the total value of the City’s investment portfolio as of March 31, 2025 to $116,017,074 as compared to the balance of $112,985,255 at February 28, 2025.
The City has restricted cash and investments held in the post-employment benefits trust accounts for both Pension and Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) administered by PARS (PARS accounts), which are managed by PFM Asset Management (PFM) and the City's various bond reserve accounts which are managed by Chandler. Attachment A includes monthly statements from US Bank for the PARS accounts, as well as a portfolio report from Chandler for each bond reserve account that is invested. As of March 31, 2025, the market value of the PARS pension account, including short-term cash and accrued interest was $12,206,177 as compared to $12,531,852 from the prior month. The OPEB account had a market value of $442,770 as compared to $453,068 from the prior month. All other restricted cash investments (bond reserve accounts), including short-term cash and accrued interest, was $747,166 in comparison to $862,780 from the prior month.
Pursuant to the City's investment policy, with the exception of LAIF, direct time certificates of deposit and money market mutual funds, all City investments are held by third-party custodians. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (BNY) holds accounts managed by Chandler and US Bank holds the PARS accounts managed by PFM which acts as an agent of the City. All securities are held in the name of the City of Brea. The City of Brea has sufficient cash flow to meet its expected expenditures for the next six months.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
During the month of March, the overall City portfolio increased by $3,031,819. This significant increase was the result of the receipt of sales and property taxes, as well as an increase of $459,440 in the portfolio due to favorable market rate conditions. The City's PARS accounts decreased by $325,675 and $10,298 due to market rate adjustments. Additionally, the bond reserve accounts decreased by $115,614 due to payments sent to the bondholders for the Olinda Heights and Brea Plaza Public Improvements, which were due on March 1, 2025.
