STAFF REPORT
Date: September 16, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Richard Iglesias, City Clerk
Subject: Consideration to Review and Approve the Draft Minutes of August 5, 2025, for the Regular Meeting and the Draft Minutes of September 9, 2025, for the Special Meeting of the City Council and the Joint Meeting of the City of Cudahy as Successor Agency and Housing Successor Agency to the Cudahy Development Commission
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to review and approve the City Council / Successor Agency Draft Minutes for August 5, 2025, and September 9, 2025.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
On December 12, 2016, the City Council of the City of Cudahy adopted Resolution No. 16-38, approving the use of summary action minutes, meant to allow the City Clerk's Office to write the minutes in brief, assuring a record of Council's actions, due to having a recording of the full Council Meeting on the City’s website.
Historically
The Municipal Clerk is one of the oldest professions in government, dating back to 1272 A.D., originating in England. The record keeper then was called Remembrancer, an English official whose job was to remind the Lord Treasurer and Barons of Court, of business pending.
Years later, in the 1600s, when early colonists came to America, the office of the Clerk was one of the first offices to be established. Over the years, the City Clerk’s office has become the Item Number
12A
“Serving the People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report

core for local government, and the liaison to the residents of the Community. The Municipal Clerk (City Clerk) is the record keeper of a City’s recorded history.
William Bennett Munro, a Canadian historian, and political scientist, who taught at Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology, stated in one of his first textbooks written: “No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. It serves the Mayor, the City Council, the City Manager (when there is one), and all administrative departments, without exception. All of them call upon it, almost daily, for some service or information. Its work is not spectacular, but it demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience.
The public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together.”
Moving forward to the present time, the City Clerk’s office today is generally responsible for keeping a record of City Council meetings; agreements; recordings of official documents; legal advertisements; municipal elections; commissions and committees current files; claims against the city; and other legal or official documents.
City Clerks are required to keep record of the proceedings (minutes) of Council meetings (Government Code Sections 36814 and 40801). Minutes are the official record of a meeting which provides a history of the Council’s decisions and actions.
CONCLUSION
The City Council is requested to approve the attached City Council / Agency Draft Minutes of the proceedings of August 5, 2025, and September 9, 2025.
STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No Financial Impact.

PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED VIA EMAIL
Natasha Dominguez I am urging the council to declare a state of emergency and protect our community, especially those that are renters. The constant onslaught of ICE raids in our city has made it impossible for families to work, significantly impacting people's livelihoods and their ability to make ends meet. Declaring a state of emergency would acknowledge the severity of this crisis and provide Cudahy with the necessary tools and resources to protect our most vulnerable residents. We must act proactively to prevent further devastation. I urge Cudahy Council to declare a state of emergency and vote on a 60 Day Emergency Moratorium for Evictions.
Tiff Sanchez I am submitting a comment to urge the council members to declare a state of emergency and protect our community, such as renters, business owners, and the community at large. These raids are not just a matter of immigration enforcement; they are a direct attack on the stability and well-being of our entire city. Families are living in constant fear. Declaring a state of emergency would acknowledge the severity of this crisis and provide Cudahy with the necessary tools and resources to protect our most vulnerable residents. We still don’t know the cumulative harm that the trump administrations attacks has on our communities but we know for certain it has affected the way people have been able to support themselves financially. The best thing w e can do at the moment is give our community housing stability and relief that is dignified.
We must act proactively to prevent further devastation. Please stand with your constituents and take this vital step to safeguard our community

STAFF REPORT
Date: September 16, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Katherine Godbey, Interim Finance Director
Subject: Approval of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) for the Month of August 2025
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Report for the month of August 2025 in the amount of $7,538,870.93.
BACKGROUND
1. In 1955, the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA) started. LAIF became part of the PMIA. The oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an inhouse Investment Committee. The PMIB members consist of the State Treasurer, Director of Finance, and State Controller.
2. In 1977, LAIF was created as a voluntary program by Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code. The program was intended to be used as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts. The LAIF continues today under State Treasurer, Fiona Ma's administration.
3. On August 1, 2025, the balance in LAIF was $9,538,870.93 (See Attachment).
4. In August 2025, the City transferred $2,000,000.00 from LAIF to the Wells Fargo checking account.
5. On August 31, 2025, the balance in LAIF was $7,538,870.93 (See Attachment).

ANALYSIS
The voluntary program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Treasurer’s Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer.
All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430 and 16480.4. The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a delivery versus payment basis using a third-party custodian.
Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080 indicates, "Except as otherwise provided, no warrant shall be drawn or evidence of indebtedness issued unless there shall be at the time sufficient money in the treasury legally applicable to the payment of the same."
CONCLUSION
Once the City Council approves the current LAIF, this balance may be relied upon when determining if the City has sufficient funds available to pay demands and payroll as required by Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080.
STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
Strategy #2. Provide regular updates to the City Council and community about the city’s finances.

To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Richard Iglesias, City Clerk
Subject: Consideration to Appoint Erica Dominguez to the Planning Commission
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to:
1. Remove Elias Zepeda from the Planning Commission; and
2. Appoint Erica Dominguez to the Planning Commission, Council Member Fuentes's appointment.
BACKGROUND
On January 17, 2023, Council Member Fuentes appointed Planning Commissioner Yessica Alvarez, who resigned on March 18, 2025, creating a vacancy on the Planning Commission.
On March 18, 2025, the City of Cudahy entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Cudahy Chamber of Commerce.
On April 15, 2025, Council Member Fuentes appointed Planning Commissioner Elias Zepeda.
After staff verification to ensure Mr. Zepeda met the city's qualifications to serve as commissioner, staff found that Mr. Zepeda is the Chief Executive Officer of the Cudahy Chamber of Commerce, a non-profit organization classified as a 501(c)(6).
Per the city's municipal code section 2.32.020 (Appointment, reappointment and removal), "No commissioner shall serve on the board of any nonprofit sponsored by the city while occupying a commissioner seat; failure to recuse themselves from the board of a city sponsored non-profit will disqualify the individual from the commission." Therefore, Mr.

In accordance with Ordinance No. 719, each member of the City Council shall appoint one member to each Commission. The appointed commissioner shall serve concurrently with the Council Member who appointed them. All appointments and removals of commissioners shall occur during an open meeting of the city council.
The Planning Commission serves in an advisory capacity to the City Council on land-use policy planning matters which guide the City's future growth, development, and beautification, including public and private buildings and works, subdivisions, streets, parks and playgrounds, and unimproved real property. This Commission meets on the third Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m.
To qualify to serve on the planning commission, individuals must meet one of the following:
• Cudahy Resident
• City Business Owners
• Employed in the City
• Nonprofit that provides services in the City
Each person seeking a position on a Commission shall complete an application and submit to a Live Scan background check upon appointment and before swearing into office. Some Commissions may be requested to file a Conflict of Interests Statement pursuant to Fair Political Practices regulations. Information will be provided by the Office of the City Clerk. City Council Members may appoint commission applicants or choose to bring forward their nominee, and staff can verify after their appointment if they meet qualifications.
CONCLUSION
Currently, the Planning Commission has one vacancy. Therefore, the City Council is recommended to appoint Erica Dominguez to the Planning Commission, Council Member Fuentes’s appointment.

STAFF REPORT
Date: September 16, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager
Paloma McEvoy, Assistant City Attorney
Subject: Adoption of Resolution No. 25-51 Approving the Assignment and Assumption of the Amended and Restated Development Agreement and of the Senior Citizen Housing Project Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants with Prima Development
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution No. 25-51:
• Determining that the proposed actions in the Resolution are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the environmental impacts associated with the proposed development were already analyzed in an Addendum to the 2018 Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2017071071), therefore no further action is required under CEQA.
• Approving the Assignment and Assumption of the Amended and Restated Development Agreement with Prima Development; and
• Approving the Assignment and Assumption of the Senior Citizen Housing Project Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants with Prima Development.
BACKGROUND
1. On October 20, 2020, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and adopted Ordinance No. 711, which approved a development agreement with Prima Development to provide for a mixed-use project including affordable housing units for senior citizens below certain income thresholds and ground floor healthcare and general office space (the “Original Project”) on the parcel located at 4610 Santa Ana Street, Cudahy CA 90201 (the “Property”).
2. On September 21, 2021, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, and on October 5, 2021, approved Ordinance No. 715, which adopted an Amended and Restated Item Number
12E
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
09/16/2025 Page 2 of 3
Development Agreement providing for various modifications to the Original Project, which included the Senior Citizen Housing Project Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (the “Original Regulatory Agreement”) as an exhibit.
3. On February 1, 2022, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and approved Ordinance No. 717 for the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Development Agreement providing for various modifications to the Original Project scope to eliminate one floor, reducing the total number of residential units to 140, among other modifications, (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”), including modifications to the Original Regulatory Agreement (the Amended and Restated Development Agreement as amended by the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Development Agreement is referred to as the “Development Agreement.” The Original Regulatory Agreement as amended by the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Development Agreement is referred to as the “Regulatory Agreement.”).
4. Pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement, Prima Development may assign the Development Agreement and Regulatory Agreement subject to City Council approval.
5. Prima Development has requested to assign the Development Agreement and the Regulatory Agreement, and all rights and obligations thereunder, to Cudahy Senior Apartments LP, a California limited partnership formed by Prima Development’s affiliate.
ANALYSIS
The terms of the Development Agreement and Regulatory Agreement require Prima Development to obtain City Council approval of an assignment and assumption agreement to effectuate the respective assignments.
Prima Development has requested these assignments due to the proposed financing structure for the Project; because the Project will be developed using Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funding, project financing sources will include funds from federal, state, and local programs, as well as from private investors and lenders. Limited partnerships including developers and investors are typical in LIHTC project financing. The proposed assignee, Cudahy Senior Apartments LP, includes Prima Development’s affiliate and investors.
CONCLUSION
In order to facilitate development of the Project, City Council is requested to approve the Assignments and Assumptions of the Development Agreement and of the Regulatory Agreement with Prima Development by adopting Resolution 25-51. “Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"

AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF CUDAHY
AND
PRIMA DEVELOPMENT
This Amended and Restated Development Agreement (“Restated Development Agreement”) is dated as of October 5, 2021, by and between the City of Cudahy, a municipal corporation, duly organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California, (“City”) and Prima Development, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (“Developer”), pursuant to the authority set forth in Article 2.5 of Chapter 4 of Division 1 of Title 7, Sections 65864 through 65869.5 of the California Government Code (the “Development Agreement Statute”). This Restated Development Agreement shall take effect on the “Development Agreement Date” as this term is defined herein below.
RECITALS
This Restated Development Agreement is predicated upon the following facts:
A. City is authorized, pursuant to California Government Code §§65864 through 65869.5 (the “Development Agreement Statute”) and Part 9 of Title 20, Chapter 20.84 (the “Development Agreement Ordinance”) of the Cudahy Municipal Code (“CMC”) to enter into binding development agreements with persons having legal or equitable interests in real property for the development of such property in order to, among other things: encourage and provide for the development of public facilities in order to support development projects; provide certainty in the approval of development projects in order to avoid the waste of resources and the escalation in project costs and encourage investment in and commitment to comprehensive land use planning which will make maximum efficient utilization of resources at the least economic cost to the public; provide assurance to the applicants of development projects: (i) that they may proceed with their projects in accordance with existing policies, rules and regulations, subject to the conditions of approval of such projects and provisions of such development agreements, and (ii) encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the private and public economic costs of development;
B. The City of Cudahy as successor to the former Cudahy Community Development Commission (the “Successor Agency”) owned a vacant 1.34-acre (58,370 square feet) parcel located at 4610 Santa Ana Street, Cudahy, CA 90201 (APN No. 6224-019-014) (the “Property”) which is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference;
C. The Consolidated Oversight Board for Los Angeles County (the “Oversight Board”), authorized the transfer of title of the Property from the Successor Agency to the City by quitclaim deed pursuant to Oversight Board Resolution No. OB-2020-04 dated November 9; and D. The City Council authorized the acceptance of such transfer of Site 3 at its meeting of November 17, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the quitclaim deed; 55733.00004\34276963.2
2 Prima Development - Amended & Restated Development Agreement 10-5-21 E. The State Department of Finance (the “DOF”) determined, by letter dated December 17, 2020, that the disposition of land contemplated in Oversight Board Resolution No.
OB-2020-04 requires no action on the part of the DOF given the land transfer’s consistency with the Successor Agency’s approved Long-Range Property Management Plan (“LRPMP”); F. City desires that upon the disposition of the Property by the City to the Developer that the Property shall be developed in a manner consistent with the Entertainment Subdistrict of the Atlantic District use designation of the City’s General Plan, and the Entertainment zoning classification of the City Zoning Code;
G. Developer and the City have entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2020, pursuant to which the Developer has proposed to acquire the Property from the City on terms mutually acceptable to the City and the Developer; H. On or about October 19, 2021, City and Developer entered into a Mixed-Use Senior Citizen Affordable Housing Purchase And Sale Agreement And Joint Escrow Instructions (“Purchase Agreement”) for transfer of the Property from City to Developer. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement Developer holds an equitable interest in the Property; I. Separately, the Developer has submitted a development project application to the City dated September 16, 2020, for the construction and improvement on the Property of mixeduse development or “Project” which includes:
(i) the new construction of a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) project for very low income e and homeless seniors (inclusive of a density bonus) over ground level, which is a permitted use pursuant to CMC section
20.20.020 (the “Senior Citizen Housing Project”); and
(ii) an onsite healthcare clinic and other wellness-related uses, as well as space for a community-based organization and a common area on-site vehicle parking facility for both the Senior Housing Project and the Healthcare Office Project, which is also a permitted use pursuant to CMC section
20.20.020 (“Healthcare Office Project”) and Developer expects it to qualify as a basis-eligible community service facility under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Section 42 (d) (4) (c);
J. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub.
Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) and the state guidelines for CEQA (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.) (“CEQA Guidelines”), the City is the “lead agency” for the preparation and consideration of environmental documentation for the Project. In 2018, the City prepared an update to its General Plan and Zoning Code (CMC Title 20) and prepared and certified the associated “Cudahy General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report” (State Clearinghouse No. 2017071071) (hereinafter, the “EIR”). The EIR was certified by the Cudahy City Council (the “City Council”) on March 20, 2018 and focused on the impacts from changes to land use associated 55733.00004\34276963.2
3 Prima Development - Amended & Restated Development Agreement 10-5-21 with buildout of the land use plan set forth in the update to the General Plan and impacts from the resulting population and employment growth in the City; K. The City Council’s 2018 approval of the EIR included approval of that certain EIR exhibit document entitled, “CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations regarding the Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the City of Cudahy General Plan Update” (the “EIR Findings”). The EIR Findings provide requisite CEQA findings for the EIR and identify specific reasons why the update to the General Plan and Zoning Code are acceptable despite significant impacts that are infeasible to mitigate; L. In connection with the approval of the Original Development Agreement, an addendum to the EIR (the “Addendum”) was prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 in order to determine whether any significant environmental impacts which were not identified in the EIR would result from the Project or whether previously identified significant impacts would be substantially more severe in connection with the Original Development Agreement;
M. The Restated Development Agreement is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because the modifications were covered by the previously approved EIR Addendum. The modifications fall within the scope of the previously approved EIR Addendum, and are consistent with the analysis already set forth in the Addendum. No new information of substantial importance showing any new significant environmental impacts (such as changes in the nature of the acquisition, changes in the circumstances under which the acquisition is undertaken, or new information) is extant. Thus, no further CEQA review is required. (Pub. Resources Code § 21166; 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15162.) N. The City Council previously approved Resolution No. 20-32 approving and adopting a Development Agreement and the Addendum as the appropriate environmental document for the Project, pursuant to the findings set forth therein; and approved Ordinance No. 711 approving and adopting the Development Agreement (“Original Development Agreement”); O. On August 16, 2021 the Cudahy Planning Commission conducted a duly notice public hearing to consider the Restated Development Agreement, and recommended approval to the City Council.
P. On September 21, 2021, the City Council held and duly notice public hearing and found and determined that this Restated Development Agreement: (i) is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs contained City’s General Plan; (ii) complies with the uses authorized in the City Zoning Code under the Entertainment Zone; (iii) provides for the orderly development of the Property; and (iv) is entered into pursuant to and in compliance with the requirements of Section 65867 of the Development Agreement Statute; Q. City desires to accomplish the goals and objectives set forth in City’s General Plan, and finds that the Project will accomplish their goals and objectives. The City has determined that the Project is consistent with the General Plan, the Entertainment Zone and the Existing Land Use Regulations, as defined below;
55733.00004\34276963.2
4 Prima Development - Amended & Restated Development Agreement 10-5-21 R. As consideration for the benefits gained by Developer from the vested rights acquired pursuant to the Development Agreement Statute, the City is requiring that Developer construct and install certain public improvements and provide other public benefits in connection with the Project;
S. In order to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes which may arise from time to time between Developer and City concerning the proposed Project and to assure each party of the intention of the other as to the processing of any land use entitlements which now or hereafter may be required for the Project, the Parties believe it is desirable to set forth their intentions and understandings in this Restated Development Agreement. In order for both City and Developer to achieve their respective objectives, it is imperative that each be as certain as possible that Developer will develop and that City will permit Developer to develop the Project and public improvements and other public benefits as approved by City within the time periods provided in this Development Agreement, except as otherwise indicated herein; T. In preparing and adopting the General Plan and in granting the Existing Development Approvals, the City considered the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of City and prepared in this regard an extensive environmental impact report and other studies.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in preparing and adopting the General Plan and in granting the Existing Development Approvals, the City Council carefully considered and determined the projected needs (taking into consideration the planned development of the Project and all other areas within the City) for water service, sewer service, storm drains, electrical facilities, traffic/circulation infrastructure, police and fire services, paramedic and similar improvements, facilities and services and the appropriateness of the density and intensity of the development comprising the Project and the needs of City and surrounding areas for other infrastructure.

3.11 Acknowledgment of City Regarding Project Financing, LIHTC Allocation by TCAC and LIHTC Financing Documents. The City acknowledges that promptly following the Development Agreement Date, Developer shall undertake reasonable effort to obtain financing for the acquisition and development of the Project, including a LIHTC allocation from TCAC for a portion of the Senior Citizen Housing Project funding under the LIHTC Financing Documents.

17 Prima Development - Amended & Restated Development Agreement 10-5-21 SECTION 5 DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT
5.1 Rights to Development of the Project. During the Term of this Development Agreement, the Developer shall have a vested right subject to this Development Agreement to undertake the Development of the Project in accordance with the Existing Development Approvals as set forth in Section 3.10 and the Subsequent Development Approvals and any Minor Modification thereof. No Subsequent Land Use Regulation shall delay, hinder, materially increase the cost of Development, or impede the purpose or the effect of the vested rights of the Developer which arise hereunder unless specifically authorized by this Development Agreement or agreed to in writing by Developer. The Project shall be subject to all Subsequent Development Approvals required to construct and complete the Project including without limitation the Environmental Clean-up of the Property requirements accepted by Developer as part of the voluntary clean-up and removal of contaminants and chemicals of concern from the Property. The permitted uses of the Property, the density bonus, or intensity of use, the size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes shall be those set forth in the Existing Land Use Regulations, the Existing Development Approvals, the Subsequent Development Approvals and the Development Agreement. Except as provided in Section 16.1, the Project shall not be subject to Subsequent Land Use Regulations including any specific plan, unless Developer specifically consents to be subject to such Subsequent Land Use Regulations including any specific plan, in the sole discretion of Developer.
5.2 Vesting of Rights of Developer. The City agrees that the Development of the Project consistent with the Development Approvals, including the Existing Development Approvals is a property right vested in Developer. Developer’s Development of the Project shall be a right vested in favor of the Developer during the Term in accordance with this Development Agreement and the Development Agreement Statute.
5.3 Effect of Development Agreement on Land Use Regulations. Except as otherwise provided under the provisions of this Development Agreement, the only rules, regulations and official policies governing permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use of the Property, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to Development of the Property, shall be those set forth in the Existing Land Use Regulations and the Subsequent Land Use Regulations (if any) to which Developer has consented in writing, subject to the terms of this Development Agreement.
5.4 Development of the Property.
5.4.1 Developer’s Discretion in Timing of Development. The City acknowledges that the commencement of development of the Project is subject to and contingent upon Developer’s obtaining a LIHTC allocation from TCAC for the Senior Citizen Housing Project and the funds required under the LIHTC Financing Documents for the acquisition and construction of the Senior Citizen Housing Project and other funds necessary for the acquisition and construction of the Healthcare Office Project on terms reasonably acceptable to Developer. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(b), Developer shall be under no obligation under the Development Agreement to commence the Development of the Property including the implementation of the Environmental Clean-up of the Property in any particular time frame, or at all provided however, that once Developer acquires the Property from the City and Development is commenced on the 55733.00004\34276963.2
18 Prima Development - Amended & Restated Development Agreement 10-5-21 Property, the Healthcare Office Project element of the Project and the Senior Housing Project element of the Project shall each be constructed concurrently and each shall be made ready for initial occupancy and use at the same time. The purpose of this Development Agreement is to set forth the applicable rules and regulations applicable to the Development of the Property and the Project during the Term. The Parties recognize that Development of the Project including the assembly of al of the funding necessary to undertake the improvement of the Senior Citizen Housing Project pursuant to the LIHTC Financing Documents, by its nature, can be an incremental process and this Development Agreement and Development Approvals contemplate this. The Parties acknowledge that Developer cannot at this time predict when or the precise rate at which Development shall complete the acquisition of the Property and commence the improvement of the Project. The decisions of the Developer related to the timing of the commencement of the Development depend upon numerous factors which are not within the control of Developer, such as market orientation and demand and other similar factors. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal. 3d 465, that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a latter-enacted initiate restricting the timing of development to prevail over such parties’ agreement, it is the Parties’ intent to cure that deficiency considered in Pardee Construction by acknowledging and providing that Developer shall have the right to develop the Property (but not the obligation to develop the Property) in such order and at such rate and at such time as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its sole and absolute subjective business judgement.
5.4.2 Duty of City to Grant and Implement an Approval. The City’s obligation to grant and implement any Ministerial Approval or Discretionary Approval shall not infringe upon the City’s right to withhold the issuance of a particular Development Approval on the grounds that the application for such Ministerial Approval or Discretionary Approval fails to conform to the Existing Land Use Regulations or the Existing Development Approvals. If the City rejects an application for a Ministerial Approval or Discretionary Approval, it shall provide the Developer, in good faith, a specific written list of reasons why the application was rejected, along with a description of specific and reasonable legal measures to correct (“Measures to Correct”) each basis for rejection of an application or disapproval of a Ministerial Action or Ministerial Permit or a Discretionary Action or Discretionary Permit. If Developer resubmits its application which addresses each Measure to Correct, the City shall promptly consider such application and approve conditionally approve or reject such application and the Measures to Correct as then indicated.
5.4.3 Development Approvals, Consultations. At Developer’s request, weekly meetings shall be held with the appropriate City officials, regarding the processing of all Discretionary Permits, and monthly meetings with the appropriate City officials, regarding the processing of all Ministerial Permits.
5.4.3.1 Processing Obligations. To the fullest extent allowed by law, the City hereby agrees that it shall process all applications filed in connection with the Development of the Project as expeditiously as possible in accordance with Existing Land Use Regulations and shall complete at the earliest possible time all steps necessary for the implementation of this Development Agreement and the Development of the Project, including, but not limited to, the following:

(c) The holding of any required public hearings;
(d) The process of verifying that an application for and the issuance of all Ministerial Approvals is complete shall be accomplished within thirty (30) days after application is submitted to the City and if applicable, the City shall deliver a written list of Measures to Correct within said thirty (30)-day period specifically identifying why the requested Ministerial Approval is not consistent with the Existing Development Approvals and/or Subsequent Development Approvals, as applicable, or this Development Agreement;

(f) City performance of all required inspections, including courtesy inspections, called for by Developer under any Ministerial Permit within one (1) business day following a request for such inspection by Developer.
5.4.4 Changes in the Project. City acknowledges that the Developer may in the future desire to change or modify the Project based on precise planning, changes in market demand, changes in development occurring in the vicinity of the Property, or other factors. All such Project revisions shall also be subject to the provisions of Section 5 of this Development Agreement, and City shall cooperate with Developer to expeditiously review and take final action on such requested changes to the Development of the Project consistent with the Existing Land Use Regulations.
5.4.4.1 Developer reserves the right to reduce the densities and intensities of uses at the Property and the heights and sizes of the improvements below the maximums permitted in the Existing Land Use Regulations, and any such application for a reduction shall be processed by the City as a Ministerial Approval.

5.4.5 Developer’s Right to Contest Increases in Processing Fees. Nothing in this Development Agreement shall be deemed to prevent Developer from contesting, in any appropriate forum, the imposition or the amount of any new Processing Fee or increase of an existing Processing Fee which may take effect following the Development Agreement Date or the modification (increase) of the amount of any Processing Fee which is in effect as of the Development Agreement Date. Notwithstanding any pending challenge by the Developer of such Processing Fees and provided that the Developer has paid the disputed amount of each such Processing Fee with a reservation of right, City shall proceed with issuance of all required Development Approvals and shall not withhold or delay issuance of those Development Approvals based upon any pending protest or appeal of Developer with respect to such Processing Fee.
5.5 Development of the Project. No City funds are currently committed or made available to Developer for the acquisition, construction or operation of the Project under this Development Agreement. Developer is responsible for providing all of the funding and equity necessary to acquire the Property from the City under the terms and conditions of a purchase and sale agreement by and between Developer and the City, subject to the ratification of such purchase and sale agreement by the Los Angeles County Consolidated Oversight Board and that Developer is further responsible for providing other funding for the development of the Project including such funds as may be obtained by Developer under the LIHTC Financing Documents for the Senior Citizen Housing Project element of the Project.

5.5.2 Developer shall comply with all Governmental Requirements during the course of Development. As used herein, “Governmental Requirements” shall mean and include any and all laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, directives, writs, injunctions, orders, decrees, rulings, conditions of approval, or authorizations, now in force or which may hereafter be in force, of any governmental entity, agency or political subdivision as they pertain to the Development except as provided as to the City under this Development Agreement, including specifically but without limitation the California Environmental Quality Act; fair housing laws, prevailing wage laws (e.g. California Labor Code 1720 et seq. and the federal Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a)), and any other applicable federal, state and local laws and environmental and building regulations applicable to the Environmental Clean-up of the Property.

27 Prima Development - Amended & Restated Development Agreement 10-5-21 to pay all addition Processing Fees for such additional density or intensity of use to the extent such Processing Fees would be applicable in accordance with this Development Agreement.
SECTION 11 RESERVED
SECTION 12 FUTURE APPROVALS
12.1 Basis for Denying or Conditionally Granting Future Approvals.

The Parties agree that for the commencement of the Development of the Project based upon the Existing Development Approvals, only submissions of the relevant plans and specifications and development project applications for Ministerial Approvals are required by City; provided however, that relevant requirements of the voluntary clean-up oversight agency for the Environmental Clean-up of the Project shall be prepared and submitted by Developer to the agency providing such oversight of the Environmental Clean-up of the Property. The Parties agree that to the extent such Development Approvals are Ministerial in nature, City shall not, through the enactment or enforcement of any subsequent ordinances, rules, regulations, initiatives, policies, requirements, guidelines, or other constraints, withhold such approvals as a means of blocking construction or of imposing new conditions on the Project which were not imposed as part of Existing Development Approvals unless City has been ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, City and Developer will use reasonable efforts to ensure each other that all applications for and approvals of all required permits whether Ministerial Approvals or otherwise, as necessary for Developer to develop the Project in accordance with this Development Agreement, shall be applied for and processed in a timely manner.
12.2 Standard of Review. The rules, regulations and policies that apply to any Subsequent Development Approval which Developer must secure either prior to the commencement of Development or during the course of Development following such commencement shall be the Existing Land Use Regulations, as defined in this Development Agreement.

13.5 Operating Memoranda. The provisions of this Development Agreement require a close degree of cooperation and flexibility between the City and Developer.

To the extent allowable by law, Developer shall retain a certain degree of flexibility as provided herein with respect to all matters, items and provisions covered in general under this Development Agreement. When and if the Developer finds it necessary or appropriate to make changes, adjustments or clarifications to matters, items or provisions in this Development Agreement, including to the public benefits referenced in Section 7, the Parties shall effectuate such changes, adjustments or clarifications through operating memoranda (“Operating Memoranda”) approved by the Parties in writing which reference this Section 13.5. Operating Memoranda are not intended to constitute either a substantial change or an amendment to this Development Agreement, but are ministerial clarification; and accordingly, public notices and hearings shall not be required in the case of the mutual approval of an Operating Memorandum.
Operating Memoranda may be used and thus deemed non-substantive and/or procedural if, for example in the case of an adjustment or clarification as relates to a Development Approval such Operating Memorandum: (i) does not increase the density or intensity of use of the Property, unless such increases are consistent with the Existing Land Use Regulations; (ii) does not change the permitted uses of the Property, unless such uses are consistent with the Existing Land Use Regulations; (iii) does not increase the maximum size of buildings on the Property beyond increases which constitute Minor Modifications or are consistent with the Existing Land Use Regulations; (iv) does not decrease the amount of land to be dedicated for public purposes; or (v) does not reduce improvement and construction standards and specifications for the Project. The City Manager in consultation with the City Attorney shall determine whether a requested clarification may be effectuated pursuant to this Section or whether the requested clarification is of such character to constitute either a substantive change or an amendment to this Development Agreement which requires compliance with the provisions of Section 13.2 of this Development Agreement.

FIRST AMENDMENT
TO AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (“First Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Development Agreement (“Agreement”) dated October 15, 2021, is hereby entered into this 15th day of February 2022 (the “Effective Date”) by and between CITY OF CUDAHY, a California municipal corporation (“City”) acting in its capacity, and PRIMA DEVELOPMENT, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (“Developer”) (each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”).
RECITALS
This First Amendment is made and entered into with respect to the following facts:
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined in these Recitals shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Developer will develop a mixed-use affordable senior citizen housing project (the “Project”) on that certain vacant 1.34-acre (58,370 square feet) parcel located at 4610 Santa Ana Street, Cudahy, CA 90201 (APN No. 6224-019-014), also known as “Site 3” (the “Property”), as more particularly described on Exhibit A to the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, on or about October 19, 2021, the City sold and transferred the Property to Developer pursuant to that certain the Parties entered into that certain Mixed-Use Senior Citizen Affordable Housing Purchase And Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (“Purchase Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, on October 13, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-32 approving, among other things, Ordinance No. 711, which approved and adopted the original Development Agreement between the City and Developer (“Original Development Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, on October 5, 2021, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 715, which approved and adopted the Agreement, which supersedes the Original Development Agreement between the City and Developer; and
55733.00004\34765951.2
WHEREAS, Developer seeks, among other changes to the Agreement, to reduce the size of the Project by eliminating one floor and reducing the total number of units from 177 to 140, but increasing the potential number of permanent supportive housing (“PSH”) units from 50 to up to 68; and
WHEREAS, the Agreement allows for Minor Modifications (pursuant to Section 1.22) and Operating Memoranda (pursuant to Section 13.5) to memorialize certain changes that increase a building’s footprint, gross interior building area, density, intensity of use, etc. without the need for City Council approval; however, due to the proposed 21% reduction of units in the Project, neither of those procedures is technically appropriate, and an amendment must be processed pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Section 1.22 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Minor Modification. “Minor Modification” means any minor modification or series of such minor modifications of the Project, where Developer seeks and obtains no more than a five percent (5%) change of either building’s footprint or an aggregate change of no more than ten percent (10%) of the total gross interior building area of the Project, as set forth in the architect’s site plan considered and approved by the City as part of the Existing Development Approvals, provided such Minor Modification is otherwise consistent with the other applicable elements of the Development Approvals and the existing Land Use Regulations and further provided that such Minor Modification shall not result in any rental dwelling unit being smaller than 500 square feet in size and the total number of rental dwelling units in the Project shall not be changed by more than ten (10) rental dwelling units.
The aforementioned percentage change in total gross interior building area shall be based upon a modified larger building footprint, as authorized in this Section 1.22, if applicable. In the case of a Minor Modification which changes the buildable square footage of the Project, the Project’s Development Fees shall be adjusted in an amount based upon the changed square footage. A Minor Modification is not an amendment to this Development Agreement and is not subject to the procedures set forth in Section 13.2.
2. Section 1.32 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Senior Citizen. “Senior Citizen” as used in this Agreement means a person sixtytwo (62) years of age or older, as provided by Civil Code Section 51.3(b); provided, however, that for purposes of permanent supportive housing units in the Project, “Senior Citizen” shall mean a person fifty-five (55) years of age or older.
3. Section 3.2(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(a) not to exceed one hundred forty (140) units, inclusive of a density bonus, apartment building for Senior Citizen households funded with LIHTC allocated to 55733.00004\34765951.2

4. Section 3.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(a) not to exceed one hundred twenty-nine (129) one-bedroom units and nine (9) two-bedroom units;
5. Section 3.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Based upon Developer’s tax credit application it is anticipated that the Project will serve Very Low Income Households. Up to Sixty-Eight (68) of the total number of dwelling units in the Senior Citizen Housing Project will be reserved for permanent supportive housing for eligible Senior Citizen households whose annual income at the time of initial occupancy in the Senior Citizen Housing project does not exceed Very Low Income, adjusted for family size. Up to two (2) of the total number of dwelling units in the Senior Citizen Housing Project will be unrestricted and reserved for on-site manager and staff. Up to two (2) additional units of the total number of dwelling units in the Senior Citizen Housing Project may be unrestricted and made available for Senior Citizen households whose annual income at the time of initial occupancy in the Senior Citizen Housing Project exceeds Very Low Income adjusted for family size and meeting applicable occupancy standards (Market Rate Units). The balance of such dwelling units in the Senior Citizen Housing Project shall be reserved for occupancy by Senior Citizen households who do not receive permanent supportive services and whose annual income at the time of initial occupancy in the Senior Citizen Housing Project does not exceed Very Low Income (e.g., up to fifty percent (50%) of Los Angeles County Area Median Income (“AMI”)) adjusted for family size and meeting applicable occupancy standards, as well as designated unit(s) for on-site property management staff and Market Rate Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City’s Regulatory Agreement recorded against the Property shall only apply to forty-nine percent (49%) of the units.
6. Section 3.5 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
The general age restriction of the Senior Citizen Housing Project applies to persons who are sixty-two (62) years of age or older, and the specific age restriction for permanent supportive housing units within the Project shall apply to persons who are fifty-five (55) years of age or older. Such age restrictions for occupancy in the Senior Citizen Housing Project shall be recorded in a restrictive covenant against the Senior Citizen Housing Project as provided in Section 3.10.5 upon the acquisition of the Property by the Developer from the City and such Senior Citizen occupancy restrictive covenant shall continue in perpetuity.
7. Section 7.2.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Developer shall enter into Community Workforce Agreements (CWA) to cover specific trades as deemed appropriate by the City Manager, the Developer, and persons who provide construction labor services in connection with the 55733.00004\34765951.2
construction of the Senior Citizen Housing Project Property.
8. Section 13.5 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Operating Memoranda. The provisions of this Development Agreement require a close degree of cooperation and flexibility between the City and Developer. The Development of the Property may demonstrate that clarifications or modifications to this Development Agreement or the Existing Land Use Regulations are appropriate with respect to the details of performance of the City and Developer.
To the extent allowable by law, Developer shall retain a certain degree of flexibility as provided herein with respect to all matters, items and provisions covered in general under this Development Agreement. When and if the Developer finds it necessary or appropriate to make changes, adjustments or clarifications to matters, items or provisions in this Development Agreement, including to the public benefits referenced in Section 7, the Parties shall effectuate such changes, adjustments or clarifications through operating memoranda (“Operating Memoranda”) approved by the Parties in writing which reference this Section 13.5. Operating Memoranda are not intended to constitute either a substantial change or an amendment to this Development Agreement, but are ministerial clarifications or changes and adjustments that would result in a modified Project within the parameters of the previously Council-approved Project; and accordingly, public notices and hearings shall not be required in the case of the mutual approval of an Operating Memorandum. Operating Memoranda may be used and thus deemed nonsubstantive and/or procedural if, for example in the case of an adjustment or clarification as relates to a Development Approval such change: (i) does not change the density or intensity of use of the Property, unless such changes are consistent with the Existing Land Use Regulations; (ii) does not change the permitted uses of the Property, unless such uses are consistent with the Existing Land Use Regulations; (iii) does not change the maximum size of buildings on the Property beyond changes which constitute Minor Modifications or are consistent with the Existing Land Use Regulations; (iv) does not change the amount of land to be dedicated for public purposes; or (v) does not change improvement and construction standards and specifications for the Project. The City Manager in consultation with the City Attorney shall determine whether a requested change or clarification may be effectuated pursuant to this Section or whether the requested change or clarification is of such character to constitute either a substantive change or an amendment to this Development Agreement which requires compliance with the provisions of Section 13.2 of this Development Agreement.
9. Section 1.2 of the Senior Citizen Occupancy Covenant and Housing Density Bonus Agreement, attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1 (the “Density Bonus Agreement”), is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
The purpose of this Agreement is to evidence the City’s acceptance of the offer of Developer to provide up to one hundred forty (140) Dwelling Units on the Senior Citizen Housing Project Property (subject to Minor Modifications) for use and occupancy by Eligible Senior Citizen Households as part of the Project during the 55733.00004\34765951.2
Term hereof. In the absence of the recordation of this Agreement, the Cudahy Municipal Code permits the development and occupancy of a maximum of fiftyfour (54) dwelling units on the lands on which the Project shall be developed, including the Senior Citizen Housing Project Property. Pursuant to the Density Bonus Law and the covenant of Developer to undertake and operate the Senior Housing Project in accordance with the Development Agreement, the total number of Dwelling Units as shall be constructed on the Property by Developer may exceed the fifty-four (54) dwelling unit base up to the maximum number of Dwelling Units authorized by the Development Agreement (e.g., up to 140 dwelling units subject to Minor Modification).
10. Section 1.3.9 of the Density Bonus Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Senior Citizen. Senior Citizen means and refers to any person who is at least sixtytwo (62) years of age at the time of such person’s initial occupancy of a Dwelling Unit as part of a Senior Citizen Household; provided, however, that for purposes of permanent supportive housing units in the Project, “Senior Citizen” shall mean a person fifty-five (55) years of age or older.
11. Recital D of the Senior Citizen Housing Project Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-2 (the “Regulatory Agreement”), is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
In the Development Project Application, Developer offers to undertake the development and operation of the Project subject to the City’s approval of the Development Agreement, and Developer’s plan of improvement of the Project and Developer’s outside financing commitment will result in all of the residential dwelling units in the Senior Citizen Housing Project element of the Project being reserved for occupancy by very low income senior citizen households as authorized by California Government Code Section 65915 et seq. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this City Regulatory Agreement shall only restrict up to 68 of the 140 units as affordable to very low income households.
12. Recital E of the Regulatory Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Pursuant to the application of the Density Bonus Law to the Property and the Senior Citizen Housing Project, and subject to the satisfaction of the covenants of the Developer as provided in the Development Agreement and this Agreement, the Developer may construct up to one hundred forty (140) rental dwelling units on the Senior Citizen Housing Project Property (subject to “Minor Modifications” as this term is described in the Development Agreement).
13. Section 2.1(a) (Occupancy Requirements) of the Regulatory Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
55733.00004\34765951.2
(a) The Developer covenants that each Dwelling Unit shall be occupied or available for occupancy by an Eligible Senior Household at an Affordable Rent on a continuous basis throughout the Term, in accordance with the following tenant income level mix: Not less than sixty-eight (68) units shall be occupied or available for occupancy by Eligible Senior Households that are 50% Households.
14. The provisions of this First Amendment shall be deemed a part of the Agreement (including the Density Bonus Agreement and the Regulatory Agreement), and except as otherwise provided under this First Amendment, the Agreement and all provisions contained therein shall remain binding and enforceable. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this First Amendment and the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of this First Amendment shall control, but only insofar as such provisions conflict with the Agreement and no further.
