2.2. Anthony Lewis referenced the Audit report and indicated that he has a plan to provide suggestions and solutions to solving the City’s financial concerns and come up with viable solutions. Mr. Lewis encouraged the City Council to look at his plan before they spend $500,000 on a consultant.

Ms. Franks commented that it is discouraging to live in a City that is always in the same place and added that it is sad that situations are getting worse.

Ms. Franks encouraged the City Council to pray and seek direction from God to improve the City.
Lynn Boone addressed the Audit Report and provided that the report is embarrassing and should be embarrassing to the City Council. Ms. Boone further stressed that the City Council is not a true representation of the City as most of the members were appointed.

INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS
1. POWER POINT PRESENTATION - CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
INSURANCE - CALIFORNIA LOW-COST AUTO PROGRAM - Ms. Armine Sargsyan
Ms. Armine Sargsyan, California Department of Insurance, provided a power point presentation highlighting that California law requires that all drivers of vehicles within the State maintain evidence of financial responsibility. California's Low-Cost Automobile Program (CLCA) was established by the Legislature in 1999 and exists pursuant to California Insurance Code Section 11629.7 as a program designed to provide income eligible persons with liability insurance protection at affordable rates as a way to meet California's financial responsibility laws. However, too many eligible drivers remain uninsured because the costs of standard insurance premiums are beyond their financial reach.
Ms. Sargsyan further noted that effective January 1, 2015, a new law, Senate Bill 1273 passed by the Governor on September 19, 2014, provides an exception to the three-year continuously licensed requirement to allow drivers with less than 3 years verifiable driving experience to participate in the program and increased vehicle values from $20,000 to $25,000.

PUBLIC HEARING- PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO 953, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT CASE NO. 2022-001 CHANGE OF ZONE/SPECIFIC PLAN CASE NO. 2022-001 (Item Number 5 and 6) On motion by Spicer, seconded by Duhart, the public hearing was opened at 6:38 p.m. by the following vote on roll call:
AYES: Council Members – Duhart, Spicer, Bowers, Darden, Sharif NOES: Council Members – None
ABSENT: Council Members – None
Robert Delgadillo, Senior Planner explained that in early 2018, the City was awarded a grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The purpose of the grant is to prepare a transit- oriented development specific plan for future development around the Compton Station platform.
On September 4, 2018, the City Council accepted the grant from MTA. On July 23, 2019, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract with The Arroyo Group to prepare the Compton Station Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan. On August 19, 2019, the project was initiated. The draft specific plan and environmental impact report were completed in August of 2022.
On September 21, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the Compton TOD specific plan (Change of Zone case No. 2022-001) and voted to recommend approval to the City Council. The proposed General Plan Amendment will amend the Specific Plan Zone regulations to permit the application of the Specific Plan zone as an “overlay” zone for area specific plans that do not propose immediate development or to entitle a project.
An overlay zone is applied over the underlying base categorical zoning to provide another layer of regulation. For example, if an overlay zone is applied for the TOD specific plan, a property owner in the project area can choose to develop under the base zone such as “Limited Commercial” or under the proposed TOD specific plan overlay zone. The primary goal of the proposed overlay zoning is to provide flexibility.
Moreover, overlay zoning will permit property owners to develop or expand their property and avoid becoming “Legal Non-Conforming”, which would occur if the Specific Plan zone were immediately applied as base zoning. The proposed specific plan overlay zone will prevent this and permit the property owner to have the option to either use the base zoning of Limited Commercial, Commercial Manufacturing, Parking Residential High Density, Residential Medium Density, Parking Residential Medium Density and Residential High Density or utilize the provisions of the TOD-specific plan.
To effect the specific plan overlay zone, Specific Plan Code Section 30-54.4 will be amended to permit the application of specific plan overlay zoning.
Mr. Delgadillo further reported that the purpose of the Compton Station Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan (TOD SP) is to redevelop and redesign the downtown area around the MTA A line Compton Station and adjacent areas:
To make the downtown area a destination where residents can live, work and recreate. To improve circulation for pedestrians and bicyclists in the downtown area. Encourage increased residential density and building height. Create flexible urban based development standards and design guidelines, to create outdoor public spaces for different kinds of activities and events. Create an active and vibrant downtown area around Willowbrook and Compton intersection.
Encourage and facilitate the use of light rail, bus transit, and pedestrian and bicycling modes of travel.
Reduce reliance on the use of automobiles.
Promote and acknowledge the past and current contributions of Compton’s culture, history and creativity through the Compton Walk.
Develop more market rate and affordable housing.
The Compton Station Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan encompasses 575.5 acres and during the proposed 2022-2042, planning period is projected to accommodate up to:
2,178 new residential units (1,444 market-rate and 734 affordable) 97,000 square feet of new office/institutional space
150 new hotel rooms
The Compton Station Specific Plan Study Area is roughly a one half-mile area around the MTA “A” line Compton Station platform. The project plan area is bordered by Matthisen Avenue to the west, Cressey Street, Douglas Street, and Peck Street to the north, Santa Fe Avenue to the east, and Myrrh Street, Indigo Street, and Laurel Street to the south.
The proposed Zoning Change will amend the Specific Plan Zone regulations to permit the application of the Specific Plan zone as an “overlay” zone for area specific plans that do not propose immediate development or to entitle a project.
Mr. Delgadillo further noted that an overlay zone is applied over the underlying base categorical zoning to provide another layer of regulation. For example, if an overlay zone is applied for the TOD specific plan, a property owner in the project area can choose to develop under the base zone such as “Limited Commercial” or under the proposed TOD specific plan overlay zone. The primary goal of the proposed overlay zoning is to provide flexibility.
Moreover, overlay zoning will permit property owners to develop or expand their property and avoid becoming “Legal Non-Conforming”, which would occur if the Specific Plan zone were immediately applied as base zoning. The proposed specific plan overlay zone will prevent this and permit the property owner to have the option to either use the base zoning of Limited Commercial, Commercial Manufacturing, Parking Residential High Density, Residential Medium Density, Parking Residential Medium Density and Residential High Density or utilize the provisions of the TOD-specific plan. To affect the specific plan overlay zone, Specific Plan code section 30-54.4 will be amended to permit the application of specific plan overlay zoning.
Philip Burns and Anton Anderson, The Arroyo Group discussed the community outreach process regarding this plan. The Arroyo Group invited residents interested in receiving additional information to visit: Nextstopcompton.org.
PUBLIC COMMENTS REGARDING THE PUBLIC HEARING
Anthony Lewis raised concerns regarding the Alameda Walk from Rosecrans south to the Artesia Bridge. Mr. Lewis indicated that there is greenway to the Artesia freeway which is an eyesore to the community.
Mr. Delgadillo discussed the proposed plans for the greenway on Compton Boulevard and other parts of the City of Compton.
T. Wroten commented that she did not hear any mention of crime studies to determine the amount of policing required to address the area.
Mr. Delgadillo indicated revenue from the property may be used to hire security personnel to monitor the area. There have also been ongoing discussions with the Compton Sheriff’s Department and the Fire Department relative to addressing emergency concerns.
Edward Moses questioned whether any of the jobs from this development will be designated for the youth of the community.
Mr. Delgadillo indicated that, by law, a certain percentage of the job positions must be held by Compton residents.
Miller Martin questioned when the project will begin and further suggested that any general plan changes be voted upon by the residents.
Mr. Delgadillo replied that the project will begin approximately one month if and when it is approved.
Katrina commented that the City’s focus should be on improving the infrastructure and addressing the Audit Findings, prior to adopting this plan.
Vanessa addressed the financial problems of the City and then requested that City Council upgrade and improve the Compton Fire Department and further clean up the City and improve Compton’s infrastructure.
Dr. Michael Tankersley commented that in 20 years, this plan will be obsolete.
Mark Smith questioned who was included as part of the Development Committee and further questioned whether Staff had communicated with other cities who have previously approved this type of development plan.
Mr. Delgadillo reported that there are other developments of commercial property such as City Venture and Olsen Company which also build residential and commercial centers.
Albert Dela Mora questioned whether eminent domain procedures would be implemented for the project.
Mr. Delgadillo replied that eminent domain procedures would not be required for this development.
Lynn Bonne commented that this issue was a waste of time and further questioned how much Mr.
Burns and Mr. Anderson will be paid.

CITY CLERK OF THE CITY OF COMPTON MAYOR OF THE CITY OF COMPTON December 6, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
COMPTON AND CITY VENTURES HOMEBUILDING, LLC, A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, TO ENABLE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 60- UNIT HOUSING PROJECT ON THAT CERTAIN LAND LOCATED AT 930 WEST
COMPTON BOULEVARD, COMPTON, CALIFORNIA
SUMMARY
Staff requests adoption of an Ordinance to approve a development agreement between the City of Compton and City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC related to 930 W Compton Boulevard. The already approved housing project consists of a gated 60-unit housing project composed of single- family attached condominiums, with ten of the condominiums restricted for sale to moderate income households at affordable sales prices, and open space and other improvements (the “Project”).
The last remaining item for this project is to adopt a development agreement between the City and the Applicant pertaining to the Property in accordance with the development agreement terms set forth in the already approved Purchase and Sale Agreement, and includes a payment of $400,000 to the City as part of this agreement.
BACKGROUND:
To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted the Development Agreement Act (Government Code Sections 65864 through 65869.5), which authorizes any city to enter into binding development agreements establishing certain development rights in real property with persons having legal or equitable interests in such property. A development agreement is a voluntary contract between a local jurisdiction and a person who owns or controls property within the jurisdiction and must comply with the requirements set forth in the Development Agreement Act.
The City of Compton (the “City”) owns an approximately 2.45-acre site located at 930 W. Compton Boulevard in the City of Compton (bounded by West Compton Boulevard to the north, West 151 street to the south, South Kemp Avenue to the east, and South Dwight Avenue to the west) (the “Property”). The City and the Applicant, City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC, have entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of April 15, 2019, as amended by the First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of December 23, 2020 (as amended, the “PSA”).
Pursuant to the PSA, the City agrees to convey the Property to the Applicant pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions (including but not limited to, construction requirements, affordable housing requirements, and transfer restrictions) set forth in the PSA. One of the
4.4.4.4. Staff Report – 930 W Compton Development Agreement December 6, 2022, page 2 of 3
conditions to the close of escrow is that there be an executed and effective development agreement between the City and the Applicant pertaining to the Property in accordance with the development agreement terms set forth in the PSA.
On October 19, 2022, the Planning Commission held a special meeting to consider this item.
There was limited discussion on the matter, with questions centering around the sale price of the property. A motion was made to adopt the resolution, but the item was a tie of 2-2-0 (with one commissioner absent). No motion was made to deny the project. Therefore, there is no recommending resolution from the Planning Commission.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE:
The Development Agreement proposed between the City and the Applicant would vest the Applicant’s rights to develop in accord with any approvals of the Project that have been or may be granted for a specific period of time, along with other terms. The following are some of the significant elements of the Development Agreement:
The term of the Development Agreement is for seven years with the potential for extension for one year or more provided that the total extension period does not exceed three years (Section 5 of the Development Agreement; Government Code Section 65865.2).
The City shall conduct annual reviews to determine whether the Applicant is acting in good faith compliance with the terms of the Development Agreement and may order a special periodic review at any time (Section 24 of the Development Agreement; Government Code Section 65865.1).
The permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of the proposed buildings, parking requirements, setbacks, development standards, provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, and location of public improvements, and the design, improvement, construction and other guidelines, standards and specifications applicable to the development of the Property (Devevlopment Agreement Section 2; Government Code Section 65865.2).
The Applicant shall pay to the City a Development Agreement Fee of $400,000 at or prior to the close of escrow pursuant to the PSA (Development Agreement Section 10).
Environmental Review:
The Project, including the Development Agreement, has been environmentally reviewed pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq. (“CEQA”), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000, et seq.), and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 951 (“MND”) was prepared and made available for agency and public review and comment for a 20-day period beginning on November 16, 2021 and ending on December 5. 2021. The MND considers the potential environmental impacts that could occur as a result of the Project. Based on the analysis contained in the MND and other evidence in the record, the City Council, exercising its independent judgment, previously found that the Project will not have a significant environmental impact with the adoption of the identified mitigation measures, and adopted the MND and adopted the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program which is attached to this Staff Report – 930 W Compton Development Agreement
December 6, 2022, page 3 of 3
Resolution. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 951 (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were prepared in connection with the Project, made available for public review and comment for a 20-day period commencing on November 16, 2021 and ending on December 6, 2021, and approved by the City Council on June 28, 2022.
NOTICING

Public hearing notices were sent to both owners and occupants within a 500-foot radius on October 20, 2022. Notice was also published in the Compton Bulletin on October 12, 2022. As of October 25, 2022, no other correspondence either for or against the project have been received.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of this agreement will be $400,000 in revenue to be allocated to the Equipment Rental Fund reserved for future use.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff supports the proposed Development Agreement and would recommend that the City Council adopt the associated Ordinance to approve the proposed Development Agreement.

Reserved Powers also include the power and authority of City to enact regulations that apply generally to residential and mixed use projects within the City, provided that such regulations do not impact the density, height, or square footage of the Project permitted by the Project Approvals, or change the number of affordable housing units required in the Project or the affordability level requirements for those units. (u) “Subsequent Land Use Regulations” means any change in or addition to the Applicable Rules adopted after the Effective Date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any change in any applicable general or specific plan, zoning, subdivision, or building regulation, including, without limitation, any such change by means of an ordinance, initiative, resolution, policy, order or moratorium, initiated or instituted for any reason whatsoever by the Mayor, City Council, Planning Commission or any other board, agency, commission or department of City, or any officer or employee thereof, or by the electorate, as the case may be, which would, absent this Agreement, otherwise be applicable to the Project.
(v) “Subsequent Project Approvals” shall mean further Discretionary Actions or Discretionary Approvals, Ministerial Permits and Ministerial Approvals required to carry out the Project as approved on June 28, 2022 including, without limitation, any subdivision, design review, or amendments to the Project Approvals.

(w) “Zoning Regulations” shall mean the official zoning regulations of City adopted as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
2. Recitals of Premises, Purpose and Intent.
(a) State Enabling Statute. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted the Development Agreement Act which authorizes any city to enter into binding development agreements establishing certain development rights in real property with persons having legal or equitable interests in such property. Section 65864 of the Development Agreement Act expressly provides as follows:
“The Legislature finds and declares that:
(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 to the consumer, and discourage investment in and a commitment to comprehensive planning which would make maximum efficient utilization of resources at the least economic cost to the public.
-6-
(b) Assurance to the applicant for a development project that upon approval of the project, the applicant may proceed with the project in accordance with existing policies, rules and regulations, and subject to Conditions of Approval will strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic cost of development.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to ensure that City remains responsive and accountable to its residents while pursuing the benefits of development agreements contemplated by the Legislature, City accepts restraints on its police powers contained in development agreements only to the extent and for the duration required to achieve the mutual objectives of the Parties. (b) The Project. Developer intends to develop the Property as described in the Project Approvals and the final plans submitted to City, subject to the Applicable Rules, the Project Approvals, and the Conditions of Approval. The Parties hereby agree that, for the term of this Agreement, the permitted uses, the density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, parking requirements, setbacks, and development standards, provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes and location of public improvements, and the design, improvement, construction and other guidelines, standards and specifications applicable to the development of the Property shall be those set forth in the Project Approvals, the Applicable Rules and this Agreement, including the Conditions of Approval.
3. Property Subject to Agreement. This Agreement shall apply to all of the Property.
4. Application of Agreement. This Agreement shall apply to the development and use of the Property. Such development shall be in accordance with the Project Approvals, as the same may lawfully be amended from time to time other than by initiative, and this Agreement.
5. Term of Agreement. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall continue for seven (7) years. In addition to the above, at any time, the term may be extended by Developer for one year or more provided that the total extension period does not exceed three years. An extension by Developer pursuant to the prior sentence shall be effective upon written request of Developer provided to City at least ten (10) days before the expiration of the term (including any previous extension) and a concurrent payment to City of the following amounts: for the first year of extension, Developer shall pay twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), for the second year of extension, Developer shall pay fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), and for the third year of extension, Developer shall pay seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000).
6. Timing of Development. The Parties acknowledge that Developer cannot at this time predict when or if the Property will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors that are not within the control of Developer. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal. 3d 465, (the “Pardee Case”) 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 such parties’ agreement, it is the Parties’ intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that Developer shall have the right to develop the Property consistent with the Project Approvals and the Conditions of Approval in such order and at such rate and at such times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its sole and subjective business judgment during the term of this Agreement. This provision shall be broadly -7-
construed to provide Developer the greatest amount of time and flexibility (in light of the Pardee Case and/or any other similar or distinguishing cases) as necessary or appropriate to permit Developer to complete the development of the Project irrespective of later adopted rules, regulations or initiatives which would otherwise restrict Developer’s time to complete the Project.
7. Permitted Uses; Density; Building Heights and Sizes; Required Dedications. City and Developer hereby agree that the permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of such uses, the maximum heights and sizes of the buildings and improvements to be constructed on the Property, and the reservation and dedication of land for public purposes, if any, required in connection with the development of the Property shall be as set forth in and consistent with the Project Approvals, as they may be lawfully amended from time to time other than by initiative. Developer shall not cause or permit any use of the Property that is not permitted by the Project Approvals, and shall not cause or permit the construction of any building or improvement that exceeds the maximum density, building heights and/or building sizes set forth in or otherwise required by the Project Approvals, as they may be lawfully amended from time to time other than by initiative.
8. Developer’s Rights. Developer shall have and is hereby vested with the rights, during the term of this Agreement, to develop the Project as set forth in the Project Approvals, as they may be lawfully amended from time to time other than by initiative, all of which are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Developer agrees that any proposals for subdivision of the Project site shall be through tentative subdivision maps and not by vesting tentative subdivision maps.
9. Changes in Applicable Rules.
(a) Non-Application of Changes in Applicable Rules. The adoption of any Subsequent Land Use Regulations after the Effective Date of this Agreement, or any change in, or addition to, the Applicable Rules (other than changes in Processing Fees and taxes), including, without limitation, any changes in the General Plan or the Zoning Regulations (including any regulation relating to the timing, sequencing, or phasing of the Project or construction of all or any part of the Project), and any changes in Developer Fees (which expression “changes in Developer Fees” includes under this Agreement new or additional Development Fees), adopted after the Effective Date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any such change by means of ordinance, initiative, resolution, motion, policy, order or moratorium, initiated or instituted for any reason whatsoever and adopted by any board, agency, commission or department of City, or by the electorate, as the case may be, which would, absent this Agreement, otherwise be applicable to the Project shall not be applied to the Project during the term of this Agreement unless such changes represent an exercise of City’s Reserved Powers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Developer has not obtained its first Building Permit and commenced construction of the Project within five (5) years of the Effective Date, the Project shall be subject to all changes in Developer Fees adopted by City between the Effective Date and the commencement of the construction of the Project. Said five (5) year period for the commencement of construction shall be extended during the period of any “Permitted Delay” under Section 30 below which occurs after the issuance of the first Building Permit.
(b) Changes in Uniform Codes. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, development of the Project shall be subject to changes occurring from time to time in the provisions of City’s building, mechanical, plumbing, electrical regulations and similar regulations -8-
which are based on the recommendations of a multi-state professional organization and become applicable throughout City, including, but not limited to, the California Building Code, and other similar or related uniform codes.
(c) Changes Mandated by Federal or California Laws or Regulations. Changes in, or additions to, the Applicable Rules adopted or made operative on or after the Effective Date shall apply to the Project if such changes or additions are specifically mandated to be applied to developments such as the Project, irrespective of vested rights, by applicable California or federal laws or regulations as provided in California Government Code Section 65869.5 or any successor provision or provisions. Where City or Developer believes that such a change or addition exists, that Party shall provide the other Party hereto with a copy of such California or federal law or regulation and a statement of the nature of its conflict with the provisions of the Applicable Rules and/or of this Agreement. The City’s determination as to the applicability of the change or addition to California or federal laws to the Project shall be final and conclusive. However, nothing in this Agreement shall deprive Developer of the rights possessed by any other property owner, absent vested rights, to challenge the appropriateness of the application to the Project of the change or addition. In the event such changes in the law prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of the Agreement, such provisions of the Agreement shall be modified or suspended or performance thereof delayed, as may be necessary to comply with such changes in the law. (d) Changes in Processing Fees and Taxes Under Applicable Rules. The Project shall be subject to any increase in taxes and Processing Fees imposed by City, provided that such a change is applied on a Citywide basis.
(e) California Health and Safety Regulations. Nothing in the Development Agreement shall prevent the application of health and safety regulations that become applicable to the City as a whole.
(f) Utility Undergrounding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Developer be required to underground the above-ground utility lines along Compton Boulevard.
10. Developer’s Obligations.
(a) Conditions of Approval. Developer shall comply with the Conditions of Approval.
(b) Fees Associated with Construction. Developer agrees to pay all fees associated with the construction of the Project, including land use approvals, development fees, taxes and Processing Fees, including City plan check fees, building inspection fees, and permit fees at the rate and amount associated with such fees in effect at the time application is made for such approvals or permits. Developer will be exempt from any changes to Development Fees; during the term of this Agreement, as it may be extended.
(c) Development Agreement Fee. Developer shall pay to City a Development Agreement Fee of $400,000 at or prior to the close of escrow pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement between the City and Developer.
-9-
11. Building Permit Issuance. City shall be under no obligation to issue a Building Permit for the Project until: (i) all the fees due before issuance of a Building Permit have been fully paid or otherwise fulfilled; and (ii) any lender whose lien is prior and superior to the lien created by this Agreement or any conveyance or covenant required by this Agreement shall have agreed to subordinate its lien to the lien, conveyances and covenants created and required by this Agreement.
12. Default. Failure by City or Developer to perform any term or provision of this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days from the receipt of written notice thereof from the other shall constitute a default under this Agreement, subject to extensions of time by mutual consent in writing. Said notice shall specify in detail the nature of the alleged default and the manner in which said default may be satisfactorily cured. If the nature of the alleged default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30)-day period, the commencement of the cure within such time period and the diligent prosecution to completion of the cure shall be deemed a cure within such period. Notwithstanding the above, failure to make a Development Agreement Fee payment shall not constitute a default by Developer if City has presented the Payment Security provided pursuant to Section 10 and been paid the amount of the applicable portion of the Development Agreement Fee by the issuer of the Payment Security.
Subject to the foregoing, after notice and expiration of the thirty (30)-day period without cure, the notifying party, at its option, shall have all rights and remedies provided by law and/or may give notice of intent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Government Code Section 65868 (as the same section may be amended and/or re-codified from time to time). Following such notice of intent to terminate, the matter shall be scheduled for consideration and review by the City Council within thirty (30) calendar days in the manner set forth in Government Code Sections 65867 and 65868 (as the same sections may be amended and/or re-codified from time to time). Following consideration of the evidence presented in said review before the City Council and a determination that a default exists, the Party alleging the default by the other Party may give written notice of termination of this Agreement to the other Party. Upon any such termination, the respective rights, duties and obligations of the Parties hereto shall without further action cease as of the date of such termination (except as to duties and obligations that arose prior to the date of such termination). In no event shall monetary damages be available against City for any alleged default or breach by City. In no event shall consequential damages be available against Developer or any seller of any portion of the Property for any alleged default or breach of this Agreement.
13. Termination and Expiration. Upon the expiration of the term or termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect; provided, however, such termination shall not affect Developer’s obligations under Section 10, nor the obligation to pay any claim of any Party hereto arising out of the provisions of this Agreement prior to the effective date of such termination. The obligations under Section 10 and the obligation to pay any claim arising before the effective date of termination shall continue after termination in perpetuity or until completed.
14. Transfers of Interests in Property or Agreement. In the event of a proposed transfer of interest in the Property or in this Agreement, or any portion thereof, by Developer, Developer agrees to provide City at least thirty (30) days’ written notice of such proposed transfer and shall provide satisfactory evidence that the transferee will assume in writing through an assignment and assumption agreement all remaining obligations of Developer under this Agreement. The assignment and -10-
assumption agreement shall be in a form satisfactory to the City Attorney. However, Developer has no obligation to obtain the consent of City to assign this Agreement to a transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon any transferee whether or not such an assignment and assumption agreement is signed by the assignee upon acquiring the Property; and (ii) no such transfer shall relieve Developer (transferor) of any obligations under this Agreement.
15. Mortgagee Protection.
(a)In General. The provisions of this Agreement shall not prevent or limit Developer’s right to encumber 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 such portion. City acknowledges that Mortgagees may require certain interpretations and modifications of this Agreement and agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with Developer and representatives of such Mortgagees to negotiate in good faith any such request for interpretation or modification. City shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requested interpretation or modification provided such interpretation or modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement and does not, in City’s sole determination, diminish City’s benefits from this Agreement.
Any Mortgagee shall be entitled to the rights and privileges set forth in this Section. (b)Notice of Default to Mortgagee. If a Mortgagee has submitted a request in writing to City in the manner specified herein for giving notices, City shall exercise its best efforts to provide to such Mortgagee written notification from City of any failure or default by Developer in the performance of Developer’s obligations under this Agreement, which notification shall be provided to such Mortgagee at such time as such notification is delivered to Developer. (c) Right of Mortgagee to Cure. Any Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any failure or default by Developer during the cure period allowed Developer under this Agreement, plus an additional sixty (60) days in order to cure such failure or default. It is necessary for the Mortgagee to obtain possession of the property such as by seeking the appointment of a receiver or other legal process. Any Mortgagee that undertakes to cure or attempt to cure any such failure or default shall provide written notice to City that it is undertaking efforts of such a nature, provided that no initiation of any such efforts by a Mortgagee shall obligate such Mortgagee to complete or succeed in any such curative efforts. (d) Liability for Past Defaults or Obligations . Subject to the foregoing, any Mortgagee, including the successful bidder at a foreclosure sale, who comes into possession of the Project or the Property or any part thereof pursuant to foreclosure, eviction or otherwise, shall take such property subject to the terms of this Agreement and in no event shall any such property be released from any obligations associated with its use and development under the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall prevent City from exercising any remedy it may have for a default under this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall such Mortgagee personally be liable for any defaults or monetary obligations of Developer arising prior to acquisition of possession of such property by such Mortgagee.
16. Binding Effect. All of the provisions, agreements, rights, powers, standards, terms, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their -11-
respective heirs, successors (by merger, reorganization, consolidation or otherwise) and assigns, devisees, administrators, representatives, lessees, and all other persons 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 heirs, successors and assigns. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute covenants running with the land.
17. Indemnification.
(a) Developer agrees to and shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend, City and its respective officers, officials, members, agents, employees, and representatives (“Indemnitees”), from liability or claims for death or personal injury and claims for property damage which may arise from the acts, errors, and/or omissions of Developer or its contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees or other persons acting on its behalf in relation to the Project and/or in any manner arising from this Agreement; provided that Developer’s indemnification obligations under this paragraph shall not apply to any of the foregoing which arises as a result of an Indemnitee’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The foregoing indemnity applies to all deaths, injuries, and damages, and claims therefor, suffered or alleged to have been suffered by reason of the acts, errors, and/or omissions referred to in this Section, regardless of whether or not City prepared, supplied, or approved plans or specifications, or both. In the event of litigation, City agrees, at no cost to City, to cooperate with Developer. This indemnification, hold harmless and defense requirement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. City reserves the right, in cases subject to this indemnity, to reasonably approve the attorney selected by Developer to defend Developer and City in any such action.
(b) In the event of any court action or proceeding challenging the validity of this Agreement, any of the Project Approvals or any CEQA determination for the Project, Developer shall defend, at its own expense, the action or proceeding. In addition, Developer shall reimburse City for City’s costs in defending any court action or proceeding challenging the validity of this Agreement, any of the Project Approvals or any CEQA determination and Developer shall also pay any award of costs, expenses and fees that the court having jurisdiction over such challenge makes in favor of any challenger and against City. Developer shall cooperate with City in any such defense as City may reasonably request and may not resolve such challenge without the agreement of City. In the event Developer fails or refuses to reimburse City for its cost to defend any challenge to this Agreement, the Project Approvals or any CEQA determination, City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, subject to the notice and cure requirements of Section 12 above. In all events, City shall have the right to resolve any challenge in any manner, in its sole discretion; provided, however, Developer’s consent shall be required if the resolution of the challenge shall require a payment by Developer or limit Developer’s rights under this Agreement.
In order to ensure compliance with this Section, within twenty (20) days after notification by City of the filing of any claim, action or proceeding to attack, set aside, void or annul this Agreement, any of the Project Approvals or the CEQA documentation prepared and adopted for the Project, Developer shall deposit with City cash or other security in the amount of one-hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), satisfactory in form to the City Attorney, guaranteeing indemnification or reimbursement to City of all costs related to any action triggering the obligations of this Section. If City is required to draw on that cash or security to indemnify or reimburse itself for such costs, Developer shall restore the deposit to its original amount within fifteen (15) days after notice from -12-
City. Additionally, if at any time the City Attorney determines that an additional deposit or additional security up to an additional fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) is necessary to secure the obligations of this Section, Developer shall provide such additional security within fifteen (15) days of notice from the City Attorney. City shall promptly notify Developer of any claim, action or proceeding within the scope of this Section. City shall cooperate fully in the defense of any such claim or action, but shall have the right to resolve any challenge, in any manner, in its sole discretion; provided, however, Developer’s consent shall be required if the resolution of the challenge shall require a payment by Developer or limit Developer’s rights under this Agreement.
18. Relationship of the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Developer is not acting as an agent, joint venturer or partner of City, but each is, in fact, an independent contractual party and not in any way under the control or direction of City except as is expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement.
19. Recordation. The City Clerk shall record a copy of this Agreement with the Registrar- Recorder of the County of Los Angeles no later than ten (10) days after the effective date of the ordinance approving this Agreement. Developer shall reimburse City for all costs of such recording, if any.
20. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The only signatories to this Agreement are City and Developer. There are no third party beneficiaries, and this Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to benefit or be enforceable by any other person whatsoever other than the successors in interest of the signatories.
21. Advice; Neutral Interpretation. Each Party has received independent legal advice from its attorneys with respect to the advisability of executing this Agreement and the meaning of the provisions hereof. This Agreement has been drafted through a joint effort of the Parties and their counsel and therefore shall not be construed against either of the Parties in its capacity as draftsperson, but in accordance with its fair meaning.
22. Certificate of Compliance. At any time during the term of this Agreement, any Mortgagee or other party may request any Party to this Agreement to confirm that (i) this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications hereto, that this Agreement is in full force and effect as modified and stating the date and nature of such modifications) and that (ii) to the best of such Party’s knowledge, no defaults exist under this Agreement or if defaults do exist, to describe the nature of such defaults and (iii) any other information reasonably requested.
Each Party hereby agrees to provide a certificate to such lender or other party within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the written request therefor.
23. Consideration. City and Developer acknowledge and agree that there is good, sufficient and valuable consideration flowing to City and to Developer pursuant to this Agreement as more particularly set forth in the Recitals and Section 2 of this Agreement. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the exchanged consideration hereunder is fair, just and reasonable.
24. Periodic Reviews.
(a) Annual Reviews. City shall conduct annual reviews to determine whether Developer is acting in good faith compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and Government -13-
Code Section 65865.1. The reasonable cost of each annual review conducted during the term of this Agreement shall be reimbursed to City by Developer. Such reimbursement shall include all direct and indirect expenses reasonably incurred in such annual reviews. (b) Special Reviews. In addition, the City Council of City may order a special periodic review of Developer’s compliance with this Agreement at any time. The cost of such special reviews shall be borne by City, unless such a special review demonstrates that Developer is not acting in good faith compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In such cases, Developer shall reimburse City for all costs, direct and indirect, incurred in conjunction with such a special review. (c) Procedure for Review. City’s Director of Community Development (the “Community Development Director”) shall conduct the review contemplated by this Section to ascertain whether Developer has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the period for which the review is conducted. The Community Development Director shall give Developer written notice that any such review has been commenced and shall give Developer at least twenty (20) days after Developer’s receipt of such notice to provide to the Community Development Director such information as Developer deems relevant to such review. In addition, upon the written request of the Community Development Director, Developer shall furnish such documents or other information as requested by the Community Development Director. (d) Result of Review. If following such a review, the Community Development Director finds good faith compliance by Developer with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Community Development Director shall issue to Developer an executed certificate of compliance, certifying Developer’s good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement through the period of such review. Such certificate shall be in recordable form and shall contain such information as may be necessary to impart constructive record notice of the finding of good faith compliance hereunder. Developer shall have the right to record such certificate of compliance in the Official Records of the County of Los Angeles.
If, following such a review, the Community Development Director finds that Developer has not complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Community Development Director shall specify in writing the respects in which Developer has failed to so comply. The Community Development Director shall provide Developer with written notice of such noncompliance as provided in Section 12, and City may follow the default procedures as set forth in Section 12.
(e) Effect on Default. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to prevent City from providing Developer with a notice of default hereunder at any time, including any time other than during a periodic review under this Section, or from terminating this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 following any event of default by Developer.
25. Future Litigation Expenses .
(a) Payment of Prevailing Party. If City or Developer brings an action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any motion, order to show cause, cross-complaint, counterclaim, third-party claim or arbitration proceeding) by reason of default, breach, tortious act, or act or omission, arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall -14-
be entitled to its costs and expenses of suit including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees.
(b) Scope of Fees. 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 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.
(c) Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement are for convenient reference only and shall not be used in construing this Agreement. The words “include,” “including” or other words of like import are intended as words of illustration and not limitation and shall be construed to mean “including, without limitation.”
26. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time, in whole or in part, by mutual written consent of the Parties or their successors in interest, as follows:
(i) City and Developer, by mutual agreement, may terminate or amend the terms of this Agreement; and the amendment or termination shall be accomplished in the manner provided under California law for the enactment of Development Agreement amendments. (ii) Except as may be otherwise agreed to by the Parties, no amendment of this Agreement shall be required in connection with the issuance of any Subsequent Project Approval.
Any Subsequent Project Approval issued after the Effective Date of this Agreement automatically shall be incorporated into this Agreement and vested hereby.
27. Alterations. No alteration, amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless evidenced by a written instrument executed by the Parties hereto with the same formality as this Agreement, and made in the manner required by the Development Agreement Act.
28. Waiver. The failure of either Party hereto to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, or to exercise any election or option herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such covenant, agreement, term, provision, condition, election or option, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No waiver by any Party hereto of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by an appropriate official or officer on behalf of such Party.
29. Severability. If any article, section, subsection, term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the article, section, subsection, term or provision of this Agreement, or the application of the same to parties or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each remaining article, section, subsection, term or provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, except that if any provision of Section 10 is held invalid or unenforceable before approval of a tentative subdivision map -15-
for the Project, then this entire Agreement shall be void and unenforceable and of no further force and effect.
30. Force Majeure. Performance by any Party of its obligations hereunder (other than for payment of money) shall be excused during any period of “Permitted Delay,” which Permitted Delay shall mean and include delay caused by an event beyond the reasonable control of the Party claiming the delay (and despite the good faith efforts of such Party) that prevents the Party from fulfilling the obligations for which it seeks excuse including without limitation all of the following to the extent that they prevent the Party claiming delay from fulfilling the obligation from which it seeks to be excused:
acts of God; civil commotion; riots; strikes; picketing or other labor disputes; shortages of materials or supplies; damage to work in progress by reason of fire, floods, earthquake or other casualties; failure, delay or inability of the other Party to act; terrorism, and litigation brought by a third party attacking the validity of this Agreement, the Project Approvals or the related CEQA determination.
31. Notices. All notices, disclosures, demands, acknowledgments, statements, requests, responses and other communications (each, a “Communication”) to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, signed by a signatory hereto (or an officer, agent or attorney of such party) giving such Communication, and shall be deemed effective (i) upon receipt if hand delivered or sent by overnight courier service; or (ii) upon delivery or the date of refusal if sent by the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested, in either case addressed as follows:
