prior to making any decision on the Development Agreement. Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the record, including but not limited to, the adopted IS/MND, and all related information presented to the City Council, the Council finds that the Development Agreement does not necessitate any modifications to the adopted IS/MND. The Council further finds that no new or additional mitigation measures or alternatives are required, and that there is no substantial evidence in the administrative record supporting a fair argument that the Development Agreement may result in any significant environmental impacts beyond those analyzed in the adopted IS/MND. Therefore, pursuant to State CEQA section 15072 and Section 6.04 of the City of Fontana’s 2019 Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA the Council finds that the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental environmental document is not required for the Development Agreement.
Section 3. Findings of Public Health, Safety and Welfare. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds this Ordinance promotes the public health, safety and welfare of the community because the Development Agreement will enable needed public improvements at the Property and the economic development of the Property will benefit the citizens of the City.
Section 4. Findings of Best Interest of City. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds that the Development Agreement is in the best interests of the City, and represents good land use practices, as it ensures the orderly development of the Property with amenities and infrastructure that will be beneficial to the community. Furthermore, City Council finds the Development Agreement to be fair, just, reasonable and consistent with the General Plan, and that:
(i) the economic interests of the City's citizens and the public health, safety and welfare will be best served by entering into the Development Agreement; (ii) the Development Agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district in which the Property is located; (iii) the Development Agreement is consistent with the General Plan; (iv) the Development Agreement is in conformity with the public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice;
(v) the Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare; and
(vi) the Development Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly development or the preservation of property values for the Property or any other property. 5 718
Section 5. Findings of Public Benefit. The City Council further finds that among the public benefits to accrue to the residents of the City as a result of the Development Agreement are:
1. The revitalization of an underdeveloped site.
2. The development of onsite infrastructure upgrades that would not occur otherwise.
3. The generation of additional property tax.
4. The stimulation of adjacent areas in the City by introducing new industrial facility and opportunities.
5. The implementation of numerous City planning and economic development policies which benefit the health and fiscal welfare of the City and its residents.
The payment of a public benefit fee from the Developer to the City to offset certain private benefits received by Developer under the Development Agreement.
Section 6. Approval. Pursuant to California Government Code sections 65865 et seq., the City Council hereby approves Development Agreement (AGR) No. 23- 001, attached hereto as “Exhibit A” and incorporated by reference herein, between Chase Partners and the City of Fontana, a California municipal corporation.
Section 7. Certification. The City Clerk shall cause to be recorded with the San Bernardino County Recorder a copy of the executed Development Agreement at the time and in the manner provided for in the Development Agreement.
Section 8. Effective Date/Publication. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the date of the adoption and prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days from the passage thereof, or after the adoption of the City Council Ordinance approving Zoning Code Amendment No. 23-002 and Specific Plan Amendment No. 23-001, whichever occurs later, provided however, if the Ordinance approving the Zoning Code Amendment or Specific Plan Amendment is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise does not go into effect for any reason, then this Ordinance shall be null and void and have no further force and effect. This Ordinance shall be published by the City Clerk at least once in the Fontana Herald News, a local newspaper of the general circulation, published and circulated in the City of Fontana, and henceforth and thereafter the same shall be in full force and effect.
Section 9. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY
3.1 Rights to Develop. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the Reservations of Authority, Owner shall have the vested right to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, the Development Plan. The Project shall remain subject to all Subsequent Development Approvals required to complete the Project as contemplated by the Development Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation and dedication of land for public purposes shall be those set forth in the Development Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a covenant to develop or construct the Project or any portion of the Project.
3.2 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of this Agreement, including the Reservations of Authority, the 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 the Development of the Property shall be the Existing Land Use Regulations. In connection with 729
-9-
any Subsequent Development Approval, City shall exercise its reasonable discretion in accordance with the Development Plan and as provided by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Reservations of Authority. City shall accept for processing, review, and action all applications for Subsequent Development Approvals and such applications shall be processed in the normal manner for processing such matters.
3.3 Timing of Development. The parties acknowledge that Owner cannot at this time predict when or the rate at which phases of the Property will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not within the control of Owner, such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion and other similar factors. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. 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 later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over such parties' agreement, it is City's and Owner's intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that Owner shall have the right to develop the Property, or not, in such order and at such rate and at such times as Owner deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment, subject only to any timing or phasing requirements set forth in the Development Plan or the Phasing Plan set forth in Section 3.4.
3.4 Development Phasing Plan. The Development of the Property is subject to any timing and phasing requirements established by the Development Plan.
3.5 Changes and Amendments.
3.5.1 The parties acknowledge that refinement and further development of the Project may demonstrate that changes are appropriate and mutually desirable in the Existing Development Approvals. If in years one (1) through five (5) during the Term of this Agreement, Owner finds that a change in the Existing Development Approvals is necessary or appropriate, Owner shall apply for a Subsequent Development Approval to effectuate such change and City shall process and act on such application in accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, including the Reservations of Authority. If approved, any such change in the Existing Development Approvals shall be incorporated herein as an addendum to Exhibit C and may be further changed from time to time as provided in this Section 3.5.
If in years six (6) through ten (10) during the Term of this Agreement, Owner finds that changes to the Existing Development Approvals are necessary or appropriate for the refinement and further development of the Project, Owner shall apply for a Subsequent Development Approval and City shall process and act on such application in accordance with the land use regulations existing at the time of such application. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Owner shall pay any and all fees and Development Exaction in place following years one (1) through five (5) and shall be required to pay any and all fees and exactions adopted at the time of applications for permits and approvals related to the Development Plan, including any amendments thereto.
3.5.2 Unless otherwise required by law, as determined in City's reasonable discretion, a change to the Existing Development Approvals shall be deemed "minor" and not 730
-10-
require an amendment to this Agreement; but instead will require only the approval of City's Director of Planning; provided the change does not:
(a) Alter the permitted uses of the Property as a whole; or, (b) Increase the density or intensity of use of the Property as a whole; or,
(c) Increase the maximum height and size of permitted buildings; or, (d) Delete a requirement for the reservation or dedication of land for public purposes; or,
(e) Constitute a project requiring a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report pursuant to Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code.
(f) Alter the findings of the applicable environmental document. (g) The provisions of this Agreement require a close degree of cooperation between the City and the Owner. It is anticipated due to the term of this Agreement that refinements to the Development Approvals may be appropriate with respect to the details of performance of the City and the Owner. To the extent allowable by law, the Owner shall retain a certain degree of flexibility as provided herein with respect to all matters, items and provisions covered in general under this Agreement and exhibits thereto. When and if the Owner finds it necessary or appropriate to make changes, adjustments or clarifications, the Parties shall effectuate such changes, adjustments or clarifications through operating memoranda (“Operating Memoranda”) approved by the Parties in writing, which reference this Section of the Agreement.
Operating Memoranda are not intended to constitute an amendment to this Agreement but mere ministerial clarifications; therefore, public notices and hearings shall not be required. The City Attorney shall be authorized, upon consultation with the Owner, to determine whether a requested clarification may be effectuated pursuant to this Section or whether the requested clarification is of such character to constitute an amendment to the Agreement which requires compliance with the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to amendments. The authority to enter into such Operating Memoranda is hereby delegated to the City Manager, and the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute any Operating Memoranda hereunder without Planning Commission or City Council action and without public hearing. Although other matters may also fall within the scope of Operating Memoranda, any amendment to this Agreement which does not relate to the Term, permitted uses of the Project, provisions for the reservation or dedication of land, grant of easement, or the conditions, terms, restrictions and requirements relating to Subsequent Development Approvals of City, revisions to Public Benefits (other than to the time for performance of such Public Benefits) or monetary exactions of Owner, shall be considered an “Operating Memorandum”.
3.6 Reservations of Authority.
3.6.1 Limitations, Reservations and Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following Subsequent Land Use Regulations and fees and 731
-11-
expenses shall apply to the Development of the Property (collectively, the "Reservations of Authority"):
(a) Processing fees and charges of every kind and nature imposed by City to cover the estimated actual costs to City of processing applications for Development Approvals or for monitoring compliance with any Development Approvals granted or issued. (b) Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals, and any other matter of procedure.
(c) Regulations governing construction standards and specifications, including, without limitation, the City's Building Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, and Fire Code.
(d) Regulations imposing Development Exactions; In years one (1) through five (5) during Term of this Agreement, no such subsequently adopted Development Exaction shall be applicable to development of the Property unless such Development Exaction is applied uniformly to development, either throughout the City or within a defined area of benefit which includes the Property. No such subsequently adopted Development Exaction within the aforementioned timeframe shall apply if its application to the Property would physically prevent development of the Property for the uses and to the density or intensity of development set forth in the Development Plan. In the event any such subsequently adopted Development Exaction fulfills the same purposes, in whole or in part, as the fees set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, City shall allow a credit against such subsequently adopted Development Exaction for the fees paid under Section 4 of this Agreement to the extent such fees fulfill the same purposes.
(e) Regulations that may be in conflict with the Development Plan but that are reasonably necessary to eliminate or mitigate a serious threat to public health and safety.
To the extent possible, any such regulations shall be applied and construed so as to provide Owner with the rights and assurances provided under this Agreement. (f) Regulations that are not in conflict with the Development Plan.
Any regulation, whether adopted by initiative or otherwise, limiting the rate or timing of development of the Property, or which shall increase the cost of development of the Project, shall be deemed to conflict with the Development Plan and shall therefore not be applicable to the development of the property during years one (1) through five (5) of the Term of this Agreement.
3.6.2 Subsequent Development Approvals. This Agreement shall not prevent City, in acting on Subsequent Development Approvals, from applying Subsequent Land Use Regulations that do not conflict with the Development Plan subject to 3.6.1(f), nor shall this Agreement prevent City from denying or conditionally approving any Subsequent Development Approval on the basis of the Existing Land Use Regulations or on the basis of any Subsequent Land Use Regulation which does not conflict with the Development Plan. Upon approval of any Subsequent Development Approval, such Subsequent Development Approval shall be deemed 732
-12-
vested pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, without any further action by City or Owner being required.
3.6.3 Modification or Suspension by State or Federal Law. In the event that State or Federal laws or regulations enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such State or Federal laws or regulations; provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions impractical to enforce.
3.6.4 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that City is restricted in its authority to limit its police power by contract and that the foregoing limitations, reservations and exceptions are intended to reserve to City all of its police power which cannot be so limited.
3.7 Public Works. Owner shall construct all public improvements related to the Project in accordance with City's or other applicable public agency's then applicable public works engineering standards.
3.8 Provision of Real Property Interests by City. In any instance where Owner is required to construct any public improvement on land not owned by Owner, Owner shall at its sole cost and expense provide or cause to be provided, the real property interests necessary for the construction of such public improvements. In the event Owner is unable, after exercising reasonable efforts, including, but not limited to, the rights under Sections 1001 and 1002 of the Civil Code, to acquire the real property interests necessary for the construction of such public improvements, and if so instructed by Owner and upon Owner’s provision of adequate security for costs City may reasonably incur, City shall negotiate the purchase of the necessary real property interests to allow Owner to construct the public improvements as required by this Agreement and, if necessary, in accordance with the procedures established by law, use its power of eminent domain to acquire such required real property interests. Owner shall pay all costs associated with such acquisition or condemnation proceedings. This section 3.8 is not intended by the parties to impose upon the Owner an enforceable duty to acquire land or construct any public improvements on land not owned by Owner, except to the extent that the Owner elects to proceed with the development of the Project, and then only in accordance with valid conditions imposed by the City upon the development of the Project under the Subdivision Map Act or other legal authority.
3.9 Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that other public agencies not within the control of City possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the Property separately from or jointly with City and this Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies.
3.10 Tentative Tract Map Extensions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 66452.6 of the Government Code, no tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map, heretofore or hereafter approved in connection with development of the Property, shall be granted an extension of time except in accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations. 733
-13-
3.11 Vesting Tentative Maps. If any tentative or final subdivision map, or tentative or final parcel map, heretofore or hereafter approved in connection with development of the Property, is a vesting map under the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.) and if this Agreement is determined by a final judgment to be invalid or unenforceable insofar as it grants a vested right to develop to Owner, then and to that extent the rights and protections afforded Owner under the laws and ordinances applicable to vesting maps shall supersede the provisions of this Agreement. Except as set forth immediately above, development of the Property shall occur only as provided in this Agreement, and the provisions in this Agreement shall be controlling over any conflicting provision of law or ordinance concerning vesting maps.
3.12 Utilities. The Project shall be connected to all utilities necessary to provide adequate water, sewer, gas, electric, and other utility service to the Project. Owner shall contract with the City for City-owned or operated utilities serving the Project for such prices and on such terms as may be mutually agreed to between the parties.
4. PUBLIC BENEFITS
4.1 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Development of the Property will result in substantial public needs which will not be fully met by the Development Plan and further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement confers substantial private benefits on Owner which should be balanced by commensurate public benefits. Accordingly, the parties intend to provide consideration to the public to balance the private benefits conferred on Owner by providing more fully for the satisfaction of the public needs resulting from the Project.
4.2 Development Impact Fees.
4.2.1 Amount and Components of Fee. The amount of the public facilities and services mitigation fees may be periodically adjusted by the City.
4.2.2 Time of Payment. The fees required pursuant to this section shall be paid to City prior to the issuance of building permits. No fees shall be payable for building permits issued prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, but the fees required pursuant to Subsection
4.2.1 shall be paid prior to the re-issuance or extension of any building permit for which such fees have not previously been paid.
4.3 Public Benefit Fee.
4.3.1 As consideration for City's approval and performance of its obligations as set forth in this Agreement, Owner agrees to pay to the City a one-time public benefit fee in the amount of Four Dollars and Twenty five Cents ($4.25) per building square foot, which is estimated to be One Hundred Fifty Thousand, Eight Hundred Ninety-Six Dollars and Twenty Five Cents ($150,896.25) ("Public Benefit Fee"). Payment of the Public Benefit Fee shall be in addition to any other customary fees or charges to which the Project would otherwise be subject (e.g., development impact fees and application fees). The actual amount of the Public Benefit Fee shall be set, based upon the actual building square footage, prior to the issuance of any building permit for the Project, and Owner shall pay the Public Benefit Fee to the City prior to the issuance of any building permit for the Project.
734
-14-
4.3.2 The City has sole discretion to determine the uses for the Public Benefit Fee. The City has not designated a specific project or purpose for the Public Benefit Fee. Owner acknowledges by its approval and execution of this Agreement that it is voluntarily agreeing to pay the Public Benefit Fee, that its obligation to pay the Public Benefit Fee is an essential term of this Agreement, and that Owner expressly waives any constitutional, statutory, or common law right it might have in the absence of this Agreement to protest or challenge the payment of the Public Benefit Fee on any ground whatsoever, including without limitation pursuant to the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, California Constitution Article I Section 19, the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code Section 66000 et seq.), or otherwise.
4.3.3 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the obligation of Owner to pay the Public Benefit Fee as set forth in Section 4.3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all buildings have been constructed on the Property pursuant to the Development Plan or otherwise.
5. FINANCING OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
If deemed appropriate, City and Owner will cooperate in the formation of any special assessment district, community facilities district or alternate financing mechanism to pay for the construction and/or maintenance and operation of public infrastructure facilities required as part of the Development Plan. City also agrees that, to the extent any such district or other financing entity is formed and sells bonds in order to finance such reimbursements, Owner may be reimbursed to the extent that Owner spends funds or dedicates land for the establishment of public facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring City or the City Council to form any such district or to issue and sell bonds.
6. REVIEW FOR COMPLIANCE
6.1 Periodic Review. As required by California Government Code Section 65865.1, the Director of Planning will review this Agreement annually, on or before each anniversary of the Effective Date, in order to ascertain the good faith compliance by Owner with the terms of the Agreement. Owner shall submit an Annual Monitoring Report, in a form acceptable to the Director of Planning, within 30 days after written notice from the Planning Director. The Annual Monitoring Report shall be accompanied by an annual review and administration fee sufficient to defray the estimated costs of review and administration of the Agreement during the succeeding year. The amount of the annual review and administration fee shall be set annually by resolution of the City Council.
6.2 Special Review. The City Council may order a special review of Owner's compliance with this Agreement at any time. The Director of Planning will conduct the special review.
6.2.1 During either an annual or special review. Owner will be required to demonstrate its good faith compliance with this Agreement. The burden of proof on this issue shall be on Owner.
735
-15-
6.2.2 Upon completion of an annual or special review, the Director of Planning will submit a report to the City Council setting forth the evidence concerning Owner's good faith compliance with this Agreement and his or her recommended finding on that issue.
6.2.3 If the City Council finds on the basis of substantial evidence that Owner has materially complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then the review will be concluded.
6.2.4 If the City Council makes a preliminary finding that Owner has not materially complied in good faith with this Agreement, then, following notice and opportunity to cure as provided under Section 6.4, the City Council may modify or terminate this Agreement as provide in Section 6.4 and 6.5. Notice of default as provided under Section 7.4 of this Agreement shall be given to Owner prior to or concurrent with, proceedings under Section 6.4 and Section 6.5.
7. PROCEEDINGS FOR MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION.
7.1 Proceedings Upon Modification or Termination. If, upon a finding under Section 6.2, City determines to proceed with modification or termination of this Agreement, City shall give written notice to Owner of its intention so to do. The notice shall be given at least ten calendar days prior to the scheduled hearing and shall contain:
7.1.1 The time and place of the hearing;
7.1.2 A statement as to whether or not City proposes to terminate or to modify the Agreement; and
7.1.3 Such other information as is reasonably necessary to inform Owner of the nature of the proceeding.
7.2 Hearing on Modification or Termination. At the time and place set for the hearing on modification or termination, Owner shall be given an opportunity to be heard. Owner shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The burden of proof on this issue shall be on Owner. If the City Council finds, based upon substantial evidence, that Owner has not complied in good faith with the terms or conditions of the Agreement, the City Council may terminate this Agreement or modify this Agreement and impose such conditions as are reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the City. The decision of the City Council shall be final, subject only to judicial review pursuant to Section 1094.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
7.3 Certificate of Agreement Compliance. If, at the conclusion of a Periodic or Special Review, Owner is found to be in compliance with this Agreement, City shall, upon request by Owner, issue a Certificate of Agreement Compliance (“Certificate”) to Owner stating that after the most recent Periodic or Special Review and based upon the information known or made known to the Planning Director and City Council that (1) this Agreement remains in effect and (2) Owner is not in default. The Certificate shall be in recordable form, shall contain information necessary to communicate constructive record notice of the finding of compliance, shall state whether the Certificate is issued after a Periodic or Special Review and shall state the 736
-16-
anticipated date of commencement of the next Periodic Review. Owner may record the Certificate with the County Recorder.
Whether or not the Certificate is relied upon by assignees or other transferees or Owner, City shall not be bound by a Certificate if a default existed at the time of the Periodic or Special Review, but was concealed from or otherwise not known to the Planning Director or City Council.
8. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
8.1 Remedies in General. The parties agree that the City would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable for damages under this Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement or the application itself.
8.1.1 In general, and subject to those procedural prerequisites required under the Development Agreement Policies or this Agreement, each of the parties may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of this Agreement, except that CITY shall not be liable in damages to Owner, or to any successor in interest of Owner, or to any other person, and Owner covenants not to sue for damages or claim any damages:
(a) For any breach of this Agreement or for any cause of action that arises out of this Agreement; or
(b) For the taking, impairment, or restriction of any right or interest conveyed, provided under or arising under this Agreement; or (c) Arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.
8.2 Specific Performance.
8.2.1 The parties acknowledge that money damages and remedies at law generally are inadequate and specific performance and other non-monetary relief are particularly appropriate remedies for the enforcement of this Agreement and should be available to all parties for the following reasons:
(a) Monetary damages are unavailable against City as provided in Section 8.1 above.
(b) Due to the size, nature and scope of the Project, it may not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such time, Owner may be precluded from other options it may have had with regard to the Property or any portions thereof. Moreover, Owner has invested significant time and resources in the planning and processing of the Project. Owner will be investing even more time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon this Agreement and it is not possible to determine the sum of money that would adequately compensate Owner for such efforts.
737
-17-
8.3 Release. Except for non-damage remedies, including the remedy of specific performance as provided in Section 8.2, Owner, for itself, its successors and assignees, releases City, its officials, officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or suits of any kind or nature arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, including, but not limited to, any claim or liability based upon Article I, Section 19 of the California Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, or any other law or ordinance that seeks to impose any other liability or damage, whatsoever upon City because it entered into this Agreement or because of the terms of this Agreement.
8.4 City's Termination of Agreement or Exercise of Other Remedies Upon Owner's Default. City may terminate or modify this Agreement as to all or a portion of the Property upon Owner's failure to perform any material duty or obligation under this Agreement, or to comply in good faith with the terms of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "default"); provided, however, City may modify or terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section only after providing written notice to Owner of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by Owner to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, if Owner fails to cure the default within sixty (60) days after its receipt of the notice, or if the default is of a type that cannot be cured within sixty (60) days but can be cured within a longer time, and Owner fails to commence the actions necessary to cure the default within sixty (60) days and to diligently proceed to cure the default.
8.5 Owner's Termination of Agreement or Exercise of Other Remedies Upon City's Default. Owner may terminate this Agreement only in the event of a default by City in the performance of a material term of this Agreement and only after providing written notice to City of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by City to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, City has failed to take such actions and cure such default within 60 days after the effective date of such notice or, in the event that such default cannot be cured within such 60 day period but can be cured within a longer time, has failed to commence the actions necessary to cure such default within such 60 day period and to diligently proceed to complete such actions and cure such default.
8.6 Informal Resolution. The parties recognize that good faith disagreements may arise between City and Owner during the administration and implementation of this Agreement.
The parties will meet and confer in a good-faith attempt to resolve any dispute and will consider alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.
9. THIRD PARTY LITIGATION
9.1 General Plan Litigation. City has determined that this Agreement is consistent with its Comprehensive General Plan, herein called General Plan, and that the General Plan meets all requirements of law. Owner has reviewed the General Plan and concurs with City’s determination.
City shall have no liability in damages under this Agreement for any failure of City to perform under this Agreement or the inability of Owner to develop the Property as contemplated by the Development Plan of this Agreement as the result of a judicial determination that on the 738
-18-
Effective Date, or at any time thereafter, the General Plan, or portions thereof, are invalid or inadequate or not in compliance with law.
9.2 Third-Party Litigation Concerning Agreement. Owner shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys’ fees, indemnify, and hold harmless City, its agents, officers and employees from any claim, action or proceeding against City, its agents, officers, or employees to attack, set aside, void, or annul the approval of this Agreement or the approval of any permit granted pursuant to this Agreement. City shall promptly notify Owner of any such claim, action or proceeding, and City shall cooperate in the defense. If City fails to promptly notify Owner of any such claim, action or proceeding, or if City fails to cooperate in the defense, Owner shall not thereafter be responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless City. City may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Term set forth in Section 4.3 of this Agreement and the expiration date of all Development Approvals will automatically be extended by the longer of (i) the number of days in the period commencing on the date of filing any legal action of the type described in this Section and ending on the date that the claim, action or proceeding is either settled or fully and finally resolved in City’s and Owner’s favor, as evidenced by the expiration of all appeal periods with no further appeal being filed or the issuance of a full, final and nonappealable judgment or decisions; or (ii) the number of days in the period commencing on the date that a referendum conceding the Development Approvals is timely qualified for the ballot and the date that a referendum is certified resulting in upholding and approving the Development Approvals. City will execute, in recordable form, any instrument which Owner may reasonably require to evidence the extension.
9.3 Indemnity. In addition to the provisions of Section 9.2, Owner shall indemnify and hold City, its officers, agents, employees and independent contractors free and harmless from any liability whatsoever, based or asserted upon any act or omission of Owner, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors and independent contractors, for property damage, bodily injury, or death (Owner's employees included) or any other element of damage of any kind or nature, relating to or in any way connected with or arising from the activities contemplated hereunder, including, but not limited to, the study, design, engineering, construction, completion, failure and conveyance of the public improvements, save and except claims and damages to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of City or its officers, agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, and independent contractors. Owner shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys' fees, City, its officers, agents, employees and independent contractors in any legal action based upon such alleged acts or omissions. City may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such legal action.
9.4 Deposit of Legal Defense Costs. In the event of any litigation or legal challenge filed against City as described in this Section 9, then within twenty (20) calendar days following written demand by City therefor, Owner shall deposit with City funds into a deposit account maintained by City (“Fund”) to reimburse City for City’s costs and expenses, including without limitation attorney’s fees, ultimately incurred by City to defend any such claim, action, or proceeding. The initial deposit shall be the sum of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000). The Fund, once established, shall at all times contain an amount necessary to cover not less than three (3) months of budgeted or anticipated expenditures by City relating to City’s defense of such claim, action, or proceeding, including any and all appeals from decisions related thereto, as such 739
-19-
budgeted or anticipated expenditures are determined by City in its sole and absolute discretion.
For such purposes, City may from time to time, in City’s sole and absolute discretion, make written demand upon Owner for deposit of additional funds by Owner into the Fund, in which event Owner shall deposit such additional funds into the Fund within twenty (20) calendar days following written demand by City.
9.5 Environmental Assurances. Owner shall indemnify and hold City, its officers, agents, and employees free and harmless from any liability, based or asserted, upon any act or omission of Owner, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and independent contractors for any violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating to industrial hygiene or to environmental conditions on, under or about the Property, including, but not limited to, soil and groundwater conditions, and Owner shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys' fees, City, its officers, agents and employees in any action based or asserted upon any such alleged act or omission. City may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such action.
9.6 Reservation of Rights. With respect to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein, City reserves the right to either (1) approve the attorney(s) which Owner selects, hires or otherwise engages to defend City hereunder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (2) conduct its own defense, provided, however, that Owner shall reimburse City upon written request for any and all reasonable expenses incurred for such defense, including attorneys' fees, upon billing and accounting therefor. If City chooses to conduct its own defense, City’s separate counsel’s billing rates shall be identical to the rates City pays for its typical municipal litigation rates for legal challenges for the type being defended.
10. MORTGAGEE PROTECTIONS
The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit Owner, in any manner, at Owner's sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device securing financing with respect to the Property. City acknowledges that the lenders providing such financing may require certain Agreement interpretations and modifications and agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with Owner and representatives of such lenders to negotiate in good faith any such request for interpretation or modification. City will 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. Any Mortgagee of the Property shall be entitled to the following rights and privileges:
(a) Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the lien of any mortgage on the Property made in good faith and for value, unless otherwise required by law. (b) The Mortgagee of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property, or any part thereof, which Mortgagee, has submitted a request in writing to the City in the manner specified herein for giving notices, shall be entitled to receive written notification from City of any default by Owner in the performance of Owner's obligations under this Agreement.
740
-20-
(c) If City timely receives a request from a Mortgagee requesting a copy of any notice of default given to Owner under the terms of this Agreement, City shall provide a copy of that notice to the Mortgagee within ten (10) days of sending the notice of default to Owner. The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the default during the remaining cure period allowed Owner under this Agreement. (d) Any Mortgagee who comes into possession of the Property, or any part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust, or deed in lieu of such foreclosure, shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgagee shall have an obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform any of Owner's obligations or other affirmative covenants of Owner hereunder, or to guarantee such performance; provided, however, that to the extent that any covenant to be performed by Owner is a condition precedent to the performance of a covenant by City, the performance thereof shall continue to be a condition precedent to City' s performance hereunder, and further provided that any sale, transfer or assignment by any Mortgagee in possession shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement.
11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
11.1 Recordation of Agreement. This Agreement and any amendment or cancellation thereof shall be recorded with the County Recorder by the City Clerk within the period required by Section 65868.5 of the Government Code. Owner agrees that immediately following recordation of the grant deed by which the Owner acquires title, the Owner will immediately record this Development Agreement against the real property.
11.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth and contains the entire understanding and agreement of the parties, and there are no oral or written representations, understandings or ancillary covenants, undertakings or agreements which are not contained or expressly referred to herein. No testimony or evidence of any such representations, understandings or covenants shall be admissible in any proceeding of any kind or nature to interpret or determine the terms or conditions of this Agreement.
11.3 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be determined invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby to the extent such remaining provisions are not rendered impractical to perform taking into consideration the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision of the public benefits set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, including the payment of the fees set forth therein, are essential elements of this Agreement and City would not have entered into this Agreement but for such provisions, and therefore in the event such provisions are determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, this entire Agreement shall be null and void and of no force and effect whatsoever.
11.4 Interpretation and Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising hereunder shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to its fair language and common meaning to achieve the objectives and purposes of the parties hereto, and the rule of 741
-21-
construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in interpreting this Agreement, all parties having been represented by counsel in the negotiation and preparation hereof.
11.5 Section Headings. All Section headings and subheadings are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
11.6 Singular and Plural. As used herein, the singular of any word includes the plural.
11.7 Joint and Several Obligations. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the Property is owned, in whole or in part, by more than one Owner, all obligations of such Owner under this Agreement shall be joint and several, and the default of any such Owner shall be the default of all such Owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Owner of a single lot which has been finally subdivided and sold to such Owner as a member of the general public or otherwise as an ultimate user shall have any obligation under this Agreement except as provided under Section 4 hereof.
11.8 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of the provisions of this Agreement as to which time is an element.
11.9 Waiver. Failure by a party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party, or the failure by a party to exercise its rights upon the default of the other party, shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to insist and demand strict compliance by the other party thereafter.
11.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. No other person shall have any right of action based upon any provision of this Agreement.
11.11 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be deemed to be in default where failure or delay in performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement is caused by floods, earthquakes, epidemics, pandemics, other acts of God, fires, wars, riots or similar hostilities, strikes and other labor difficulties beyond the party's control, (including the party's employment force), government regulations, court actions (such as restraining orders or injunctions), or other causes beyond the party's control. If any such events shall occur, the Term of this Agreement and the time for performance by either party of any of its obligations hereunder will be extended for the period of time that such events prevented such performance, provided that the Term of this Agreement shall not be extended under any circumstances due to a force majeure event for more than five (5) years.
11.12 Mutual Covenants. The covenants contained herein are mutual covenants and also constitute conditions to the concurrent or subsequent performance by the party benefited thereby of the covenants to be performed hereunder by such benefited party.
11.13 Successors in Interest. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the burdens of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and the benefits of this Agreement shall inure to, all successors in interest to the parties to this Agreement. All provisions of this Agreement 742
-22-
shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and constitute covenants running with the land. Each covenant to do or refrain from doing some act hereunder with regard to the Development of the Property: (a) is for the benefit of and is a burden upon every portion of the Property; (b) runs with the Property and each portion thereof; and, (c) is binding upon each party and each successor in interest during ownership of the Property or any portion thereof.
11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, which counterparts shall be construed together and have the same effect as if all of the parties had executed the same instrument.
11.15 Jurisdiction and Venue. Any action at law or in equity arising under this Agreement or brought by a party hereto for the purpose of enforcing, construing or determining the validity of any provision of this Agreement shall be filed and tried in the Superior Court of the County of San Bernardino, State of California, and the parties hereto waive all provisions of law providing for the filing, removal or change of venue to any other court.
11.16 Project as a Private Undertaking. It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that the development of the Project is a private development, that neither party is acting as the agent of the other in any respect hereunder, and that each party is an independent contracting entity with respect to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement. No partnership, joint venture, or other association of any kind is formed by this Agreement. The only relationship between City and Owner is that of a government entity regulating the development of private property by the Owner of such property.
11.17 Further Actions and Instruments. Each of the parties shall cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the other to the extent contemplated hereunder in the performance of all obligations under this Agreement and the satisfaction of the conditions of this Agreement. Upon the request of either party at any time, the other party shall promptly execute, with acknowledgment or affidavit if reasonably required, and file or record such required instruments and writings and take any actions as may be reasonably necessary under the terms of this Agreement to carry out the intent and to fulfill the provisions of this Agreement or to evidence or consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
11.18 Eminent Domain. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to limit or restrict the exercise by City of its power of eminent domain.
11.19 Agent for Service of Process. In the event Owner is not a resident of the State of California or it is an association, partnership or joint venture without a member, partner or joint venturer resident of the State of California, or it is a foreign corporation, then in any such event, Owner shall file with the Planning Director, upon its execution of this Agreement, a designation of a natural person residing in the State of California, giving his or her name, residence and business addresses, as its agent for the purpose of service of process in any court action arising out of or based upon this Agreement, and the delivery to such agent of a copy of any process in any such action shall constitute valid service upon Owner. If for any reason service of such process upon such agent is not feasible, then in such event Owner may be personally served with such process out of this County and such service shall constitute valid service upon Owner.
Owner is amenable to the process so served, submits to the jurisdiction of the Court so obtained 743
-23-
and waives any and all objections and protests thereto. Owner for itself, assigns and successors hereby waives the provisions of the Hague Convention (Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extra Judicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters, 20 U.S.T. 361, T.I.A.S.
No. 6638).
11.20 Authority to Execute. The person or persons executing this Agreement on behalf of Owner warrants and represents that he or she/they have the authority to execute this Agreement on behalf of his or her/their corporation, partnership, or business entity and warrants and represents that he or she/they has/have the authority to bind Owner to the performance of its obligations hereunder.

ANALYSIS:
The applicant, Chase Partners, is requesting that the Planning Commission review and forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council for a general plan amendment to amend the general plan land use designation from Residential Planned Community (R-PC) to General Industrial (I-G), a Zoning District Map Amendment to amend the zoning designation from Residential Planned Community (R-PC) to Specific Plan (SP), a Specific Plan Amendment to include the project site in the Slover East Industrial District (SED) of the Southwest Industrial Park Specific Plan (SWIP), a Tentative Parcel Map to consolidate two (2) parcels into one (1) parcel, an Administrative Site Plan for the development of the project site with a 33,505 square foot industrial commerce building and associated improvements, and a Development Agreement to include a public benefit fee.
General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 23-001: The current general plan land use designation of Residential Planned Community (R-PC) for the project site does not allow for industrial commerce centers. The project would amend the general plan land use designation of the project site from Residential Planned Community (R-PC) to General Industrial (I-G) to accommodate the development a new industrial commerce facility. The General Industrial designation would be consistent with adjacent industrial designations on southerly adjacent property, and supports general plan goals, including:
Chapter 13, Goal No. 1, Action A: Establish a balance of industrial and manufacturing development along with services, especially in sectors with living wage jobs. The developer is proposing to construct an industrial commerce building, which will require construction labor. Labor leaders have emphasized that construction jobs support families. Additionally, the operations of the industrial City of Fontana Page 3 of 5 Printed on 3/13/2024
powered by Legistar™7573
File #: 21-2863 Agenda Date: 3/19/2024
Agenda #: PH-E Category: Public Hearing
emphasized that construction jobs support families. Additionally, the operations of the industrial commerce building will require employees for day-to-day operations, which will in turn provide jobs for local communities in the long term.
Zoning District Map Amendment (ZCA) No. 23-002 and Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) No. 23- 001: The applicant is requesting to amend the zoning designation of the project site from Residential Planned Community (R-PC) to Specific Plan (SP) to accommodate the proposed development. More specifically, the applicant is requesting to include the project site in the Slover East Industrial District (SED) of the Southwest Industrial Park Specific Plan (SWIP). The SP zoning designation and SED SWIP land use designations would be consistent with the land use designation on the southerly adjacent property and would be consistent with the proposed general plan land use designation.
Tentative Parcel Map No. 20795 (TPM No. 23-003): The proposed project includes the consolidation of two (2) parcels into one (1) parcel, as well as the required street dedication and improvements. The consolidated parcel meets the development standards of the SWIP’s SED land use district and will support the development of a new industrial facility.
Administrative Site Plan Review (ASP) No. 23-006: The development will be comprised of a 33,505 square foot industrial commerce facility inclusive of 3,000 square feet of office space (1,350 square feet on the ground floor and 1,650 square feet in a second level mezzanine), and 30,585 square feet of warehouse space with 3 loading dock spaces on approximately 1.6 acres. The developer will construct the necessary on-site and off-site improvements required by City standards.
The building’s tower element at the main entrance, glass features, painted bands and articulated window framing with glazing provide structural and visual interest. The applicant has incorporated a variety of architectural features on all sides of the building to meet or exceed the design standards for the Slover East Industrial District of Southwest Industrial Park Specific Plan.
The project site is physically suitable in size and shape to support the development of the proposed industrial commerce center building. The applicable building, zoning and fire codes and standards will be incorporated into the project and will make for a safe, attractive, and well-designed project. As proposed, the project site is consistent with the standards of the Slover East Industrial District of the Southwest Industrial Park Specific Plan and all requirements of the Industrial Commerce Centers Sustainability Standards Ordinance. The proposed project has been designed to be compatible with the industrial and commercial uses in the immediate vicinity.
Grading / Walls
The project site is relatively flat. Retaining walls will not be necessary as the project site has a similar grade as the adjoining parcels. An existing eight-foot-tall block wall will remain in place on a portion of the eastern property line, which separates the project site from large retail store (Home Depot) development. Eight-foot-tall tubular steel fencing will be installed on a portion of the northern, southern, and eastern property lines. The site will be secured with an eight-foot-tall tubular steel gate flanked by and anchored to 14-foot-tall concrete screen walls.
Site Access / Circulation / Parking
Due to the size of the site, there will be one access point shared by passenger cars and trucks on Juniper Avenue. Passenger car parking is located along the central drive aisle outside and inside of the truck court area. Trucks will be required to travel south toward Jurupa Avenue when departing City of Fontana Page 4 of 5 Printed on 3/13/2024

the project site.
Development Agreement (AGR) No. 23-001: The project includes a development agreement that includes the payment of a public benefit fee of $150,896.25.
SB330: As currently zoned, this property would have allowed for the development of one (1) residential unit. To comply with California’s Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB330), the project will participate with the City of Fontana Municipal Code Chapter 30 Article XV “No Net Loss Density Bonus/Replacement Program.” The one (1) unit will be available as a density bonus for other residential properties throughout the city. The program will enable, on a first come, first served basis, density bonuses of up to 20% on other residential parcels until the one (1) residential unit is reclaimed within future planned residential projects.
Pursuant to FMC section 30-967, the Unit Bank cannot exceed 2,200 units. The Unit Bank currently has 1,615 units. This one (1) unit will be added to the Unit Bank increasing the number of units in the Unit Bank to 1,616, which is less than the 2,200 units authorized by the FMC.
Environmental
An Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared for this project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the 2019 Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA. Based on the information in the Initial Study (IS), with the incorporation of Mitigation Measures the IS concludes that the project could not have a significant effect on the environment as a result of project implementation. A Notice of Determination has been prepared for the Planning Commission’s consideration. The IS/MND along with Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for this project can be found at <https://www.fontanaca.gov/2137/Environmental-Documents>. The Notice of Intent to Adopt an IS/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Public Hearing Notice was issued on February 23, 2024, for a public comment period of February 27, 2024 to March 18, 2024. As of the date of posting of this agenda, no comments were received.

Section 1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 2. CEQA. The Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the Initial Study, MND, and MMRP, any oral or written comments received, and the administrative record prior to making any decision on the proposed project. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find that the Initial Study/MND and MMRP contain a complete and accurate reporting of all the environmental impacts associated with the project.
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find that MND and MMRP has been completed in compliance with the Sate CEQA Guidelines and Section 6.21 of the City of Fontana’s 2019 Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA. a.

Section 3. General Plan Amendment Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the following finding for General Plan Amendment No. 23-001 in accordance with Section 30-31 “Purpose” of the Fontana Zoning and Development Code:
77824
Resolution PC No. 2024-
Finding: The purpose and intent is to keep an updated General Plan to reflect the current desires and needs of the citizens for long-term growth of the City.
Finding of Fact: The applicant is proposing to change the General Plan Land Use Designation of the site from R-PC to I-G. This would allow for the construction of a 33,855 square foot industrial commerce center building. The site is adjacent to industrial development and will assist with the growing demand in the industrial sector. The I-G designation will be consistent with other nearby land uses along Juniper Avenue.
The I-G designation also supports general plan goals, including:
Chapter 13, Goal No. 1, Action A: Establish a balance of industrial and manufacturing development along with services, especially in sectors with living wage jobs. The developer is proposing to construct an industrial commerce building, which will require construction labor.
Labor leaders have emphasized that construction jobs support families.
Additionally, the operations of the industrial commerce building will require employees for day-to-day operations, which will in turn provide jobs for local communities in the long term.
Section 4. Zoning District Map Amendment Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the following finding for Zoning District Map Amendment No. 23-002 in accordance with Section 30-40 “Purpose” of the Fontana Zoning and Development Code:
Finding: The Zoning and Development Code may be amended by changing the development standards (text) or zoning designation map boundaries of any zone whenever such an amendment is deemed necessary to protect or promote the public's health, safety, or general welfare or when modification is viewed as appropriate in the context of generally accepted planning principles, surrounding land uses, and the General Plan.
Finding of Fact: The Applicant is proposing to change the zoning designation from R-PC to SP in order to include the Subject Property into the Slover East Industrial District (SED) of the SWIP. This would allow for the construction of a 33,585 square foot industrial commerce center building. The development will assist with the growing industrial commerce demand in the City of Fontana and the surrounding area. The zone change, and corresponding specific plan amendment will provide consistency with the existing development to the south and west of the Subject Property and will provide safe and attractive development.
Section 5. Specific Plan Amendment Findings. The City of Fontana Planning Commission hereby makes the following finding for Specific Plan Amendment No. 23-001 in accordance with Section 30-67 “Purpose” of the Fontana Zoning and Development Code:
Finding: A specific plan may be amended by changing the development standards or zoning designation of any zone whenever such an 77925
Resolution PC No. 2024-
amendment is deemed necessary to protect or promote the public’s health, safety or general welfare or when modification is view as appropriate in the context of generally accepted planning principles, surrounding land uses, and the general plan.
Finding of Fact: The applicant is proposing to include the Subject Property in the SED of SWIP for the purpose of developing an approximately 33,585 square foot industrial commerce center building. The inclusion in the specific plan area will make the zoning consistent with properties to the south and east. The property north of the Subject Property is developed with a United States Postal Service post office and the property east of the site is developed with a “big box” retail building. The amendment to the SWIP Specific Plan is consistent with nearby land uses and will not be detrimental to any of the surrounding land uses.
Section 6. Tentative Parcel Map Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings for Tentative Parcel Map No. 23-003 (TPM No. 20795) in accordance with Section No. 26-218(d) “Processing of application,” of the Fontana Subdivision Code:

(d) The purchaser, transferee or assignee provides City with security equivalent to any security previously provided by Owner to secure performance of its obligations hereunder.
2.4.3 Subsequent Assignment. Any subsequent sale, transfer or assignment after an initial sale, transfer or assignment shall be made only in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section.
2.4.4 Partial Release of Purchaser, Transferee or Assignee of Industrial or Commercial Lot. A purchaser, transferee or assignee of a lot, which has been finally subdivided as provided for in the Development Plan and for which a commercial or industrial plot plan for development of the lot has been finally approved pursuant to the Development Plan, may submit a request, in writing, to City to release said lot from the obligations under this Agreement relating to all other portions of the property. Within thirty (30) days of such request, City shall review, and if the above conditions are satisfied shall approve the request for release and notify the purchaser, transferee or assignee in writing thereof. No such release approved pursuant to this Subsection
2.4.4 shall cause, or otherwise affect, a release of Owner from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
2.4.5 Termination of Agreement With Respect to Individual Lots Upon Sale to Public and Completion of Construction. The provisions of Subsection 2.4.1 shall not apply to the sale or lease (for a period longer than one year) of any lot which has been finally subdivided and is individually (and not in “bulk”) sold or leased to a member of the public or other ultimate user.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any lot and such lot shall be released and no longer be subject to this Agreement without the execution or recordation of any further document upon satisfaction of both of the following conditions:
(a) The lot has been finally subdivided and individually (and not in “bulk”) sold or leased (for a period longer than one year) to a member of the public or other ultimate user; and,
(b) A certificate of occupancy has been issued for a building on the lot, and the fees set forth under Section 4 of this Agreement have been paid. 80854

2.5 Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or canceled in whole or in part only by written consent of all parties in the manner provided for in Government Code Section 65868 and the Development Agreement Policies. This provision shall not limit any remedy of City or Owner for a party's breach of the Agreement as provided by this Agreement.
2.6 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further effect upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
2.6.1 Expiration of the stated term of this agreement as set forth herein.

2.6.5 Termination by the City upon a default by Owner, as provided in this Agreement.
2.6.6 Termination of this Agreement will not operate to automatically terminate any Development Approvals or other land use entitlements approved for the Property. Upon the termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder except with respect to any obligation to have been performed prior to such termination or with respect to any default in the performance of the provisions of this Agreement that has occurred prior to such termination, or with respect to any obligations which are specifically set forth as surviving this Agreement. Upon such termination, any public facilities and services mitigation fees paid pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Agreement by Owner to City buildings on which construction has not yet begun shall be refunded to Owner by City.
2.6.7 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the obligation of Owner to pay the Public Benefit Fee as set forth in Section 4.3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all buildings have been constructed on the Property pursuant to the Development Plan or otherwise.
2.7 Notices.
2.7.1 As used in this Agreement, "notice" includes, but is not limited to, the communication of notice, request, demand, approval, statement, report, acceptance, consent, waiver, appointment, or other communication required or permitted hereunder.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY
3.1 Rights to Develop. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the Reservations of Authority, Owner shall have the vested right to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, the Development Plan. The Project shall remain subject to all Subsequent Development Approvals required to complete the Project as contemplated by the Development Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation and dedication of land for public purposes shall be those set forth in the Development Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a covenant to develop or construct the Project or any portion of the Project.
3.2 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of this Agreement, including the Reservations of Authority, the 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 the Development of the Property shall be the Existing Land Use Regulations. In connection with any Subsequent Development Approval, City shall exercise its reasonable discretion in accordance with the Development Plan and as provided by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Reservations of Authority.
City shall accept for processing, review, and action all applications for Subsequent Development 81056
-9-
Approvals and such applications shall be processed in the normal manner for processing such matters.
3.3 Timing of Development. The parties acknowledge that Owner cannot at this time predict when or the rate at which phases of the Property will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not within the control of Owner, such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion and other similar factors. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. 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 later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over such parties' agreement, it is City's and Owner's intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that Owner shall have the right to develop the Property, or not, in such order and at such rate and at such times as Owner deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment, subject only to any timing or phasing requirements set forth in the Development Plan or the Phasing Plan set forth in Section 3.4.
3.4 Development Phasing Plan. The Development of the Property is subject to any timing and phasing requirements established by the Development Plan.
3.5 Changes and Amendments.
3.5.1 The parties acknowledge that refinement and further development of the Project may demonstrate that changes are appropriate and mutually desirable in the Existing Development Approvals. If in years one (1) through five (5) during the Term of this Agreement, Owner finds that a change in the Existing Development Approvals is necessary or appropriate, Owner shall apply for a Subsequent Development Approval to effectuate such change and City shall process and act on such application in accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, including the Reservations of Authority. If approved, any such change in the Existing Development Approvals shall be incorporated herein as an addendum to Exhibit C and may be further changed from time to time as provided in this Section 3.5.
If in years six (6) through ten (10) during the Term of this Agreement, Owner finds that changes to the Existing Development Approvals are necessary or appropriate for the refinement and further development of the Project, Owner shall apply for a Subsequent Development Approval and City shall process and act on such application in accordance with the land use regulations existing at the time of such application. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Owner shall pay any and all fees and Development Exaction in place following years one (1) through five (5) and shall be required to pay any and all fees and exactions adopted at the time of applications for permits and approvals related to the Development Plan, including any amendments thereto.
3.5.2 Unless otherwise required by law, as determined in City's reasonable discretion, a change to the Existing Development Approvals shall be deemed "minor" and not require an amendment to this Agreement; but instead will require only the approval of City's Director of Planning; provided the change does not:
(a) Alter the permitted uses of the Property as a whole; or, 81157
-10-
(b) Increase the density or intensity of use of the Property as a whole; or,
(c) Increase the maximum height and size of permitted buildings; or, (d) Delete a requirement for the reservation or dedication of land for public purposes; or,
(e) Constitute a project requiring a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report pursuant to Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code.
(f) Alter the findings of the applicable environmental document. (g) The provisions of this Agreement require a close degree of cooperation between the City and the Owner. It is anticipated due to the term of this Agreement that refinements to the Development Approvals may be appropriate with respect to the details of performance of the City and the Owner. To the extent allowable by law, the Owner shall retain a certain degree of flexibility as provided herein with respect to all matters, items and provisions covered in general under this Agreement and exhibits thereto. When and if the Owner finds it necessary or appropriate to make changes, adjustments or clarifications, the Parties shall effectuate such changes, adjustments or clarifications through operating memoranda (“Operating Memoranda”) approved by the Parties in writing, which reference this Section of the Agreement.
Operating Memoranda are not intended to constitute an amendment to this Agreement but mere ministerial clarifications; therefore, public notices and hearings shall not be required. The City Attorney shall be authorized, upon consultation with the Owner, to determine whether a requested clarification may be effectuated pursuant to this Section or whether the requested clarification is of such character to constitute an amendment to the Agreement which requires compliance with the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to amendments. The authority to enter into such Operating Memoranda is hereby delegated to the City Manager, and the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute any Operating Memoranda hereunder without Planning Commission or City Council action and without public hearing. Although other matters may also fall within the scope of Operating Memoranda, any amendment to this Agreement which does not relate to the Term, permitted uses of the Project, provisions for the reservation or dedication of land, grant of easement, or the conditions, terms, restrictions and requirements relating to Subsequent Development Approvals of City, revisions to Public Benefits (other than to the time for performance of such Public Benefits) or monetary exactions of Owner, shall be considered an “Operating Memorandum”.
3.6 Reservations of Authority.
3.6.1 Limitations, Reservations and Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following Subsequent Land Use Regulations and fees and expenses shall apply to the Development of the Property (collectively, the "Reservations of Authority"):
81258
-11-
(a) Processing fees and charges of every kind and nature imposed by City to cover the estimated actual costs to City of processing applications for Development Approvals or for monitoring compliance with any Development Approvals granted or issued. (b) Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals, and any other matter of procedure.
(c) Regulations governing construction standards and specifications, including, without limitation, the City's Building Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, and Fire Code.
(d) Regulations imposing Development Exactions; In years one (1) through five (5) during Term of this Agreement, no such subsequently adopted Development Exaction shall be applicable to development of the Property unless such Development Exaction is applied uniformly to development, either throughout the City or within a defined area of benefit which includes the Property. No such subsequently adopted Development Exaction within the aforementioned timeframe shall apply if its application to the Property would physically prevent development of the Property for the uses and to the density or intensity of development set forth in the Development Plan. In the event any such subsequently adopted Development Exaction fulfills the same purposes, in whole or in part, as the fees set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, City shall allow a credit against such subsequently adopted Development Exaction for the fees paid under Section 4 of this Agreement to the extent such fees fulfill the same purposes. (e) Regulations that may be in conflict with the Development Plan but that are reasonably necessary to eliminate or mitigate a serious threat to public health and safety.
To the extent possible, any such regulations shall be applied and construed so as to provide Owner with the rights and assurances provided under this Agreement. (f) Regulations that are not in conflict with the Development Plan. Any regulation, whether adopted by initiative or otherwise, limiting the rate or timing of development of the Property, or which shall increase the cost of development of the Project, shall be deemed to conflict with the Development Plan and shall therefore not be applicable to the development of the property during years one (1) through five (5) of the Term of this Agreement.
3.6.2 Subsequent Development Approvals. This Agreement shall not prevent City, in acting on Subsequent Development Approvals, from applying Subsequent Land Use Regulations that do not conflict with the Development Plan subject to 3.6.1(f), nor shall this Agreement prevent City from denying or conditionally approving any Subsequent Development Approval on the basis of the Existing Land Use Regulations or on the basis of any Subsequent Land Use Regulation which does not conflict with the Development Plan. Upon approval of any Subsequent Development Approval, such Subsequent Development Approval shall be deemed vested pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, without any further action by City or Owner being required.
3.6.3 Modification or Suspension by State or Federal Law. In the event that State or Federal laws or regulations enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement prevent or 81359
-12-
preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such State or Federal laws or regulations; provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions impractical to enforce.
3.6.4 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that City is restricted in its authority to limit its police power by contract and that the foregoing limitations, reservations and exceptions are intended to reserve to City all of its police power which cannot be so limited.
3.7 Public Works. Owner shall construct all public improvements related to the Project in accordance with City's or other applicable public agency's then applicable public works engineering standards.
3.8 Provision of Real Property Interests by City. In any instance where Owner is required to construct any public improvement on land not owned by Owner, Owner shall at its sole cost and expense provide or cause to be provided, the real property interests necessary for the construction of such public improvements. In the event Owner is unable, after exercising reasonable efforts, including, but not limited to, the rights under Sections 1001 and 1002 of the Civil Code, to acquire the real property interests necessary for the construction of such public improvements, and if so instructed by Owner and upon Owner’s provision of adequate security for costs City may reasonably incur, City shall negotiate the purchase of the necessary real property interests to allow Owner to construct the public improvements as required by this Agreement and, if necessary, in accordance with the procedures established by law, use its power of eminent domain to acquire such required real property interests. Owner shall pay all costs associated with such acquisition or condemnation proceedings. This section 3.8 is not intended by the parties to impose upon the Owner an enforceable duty to acquire land or construct any public improvements on land not owned by Owner, except to the extent that the Owner elects to proceed with the development of the Project, and then only in accordance with valid conditions imposed by the City upon the development of the Project under the Subdivision Map Act or other legal authority.
3.9 Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that other public agencies not within the control of City possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the Property separately from or jointly with City and this Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies.
3.10 Tentative Tract Map Extensions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 66452.6 of the Government Code, no tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map, heretofore or hereafter approved in connection with development of the Property, shall be granted an extension of time except in accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations.
3.11 Vesting Tentative Maps. If any tentative or final subdivision map, or tentative or final parcel map, heretofore or hereafter approved in connection with development of the Property, is a vesting map under the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.) and if this Agreement is determined by a final judgment to be invalid or unenforceable insofar as it grants a vested right to develop to Owner, then and to that extent the rights and protections afforded Owner under the laws and ordinances applicable to vesting maps shall supersede the provisions of 81460
-13-
this Agreement. Except as set forth immediately above, development of the Property shall occur only as provided in this Agreement, and the provisions in this Agreement shall be controlling over any conflicting provision of law or ordinance concerning vesting maps.
3.12 Utilities. The Project shall be connected to all utilities necessary to provide adequate water, sewer, gas, electric, and other utility service to the Project. Owner shall contract with the City for City-owned or operated utilities serving the Project for such prices and on such terms as may be mutually agreed to between the parties.
4. PUBLIC BENEFITS
4.1 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Development of the Property will result in substantial public needs which will not be fully met by the Development Plan and further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement confers substantial private benefits on Owner which should be balanced by commensurate public benefits. Accordingly, the parties intend to provide consideration to the public to balance the private benefits conferred on Owner by providing more fully for the satisfaction of the public needs resulting from the Project.
4.2 Development Impact Fees.
4.2.1 Amount and Components of Fee. The amount of the public facilities and services mitigation fees may be periodically adjusted by the City.
4.2.2 Time of Payment. The fees required pursuant to this section shall be paid to City prior to the issuance of building permits. No fees shall be payable for building permits issued prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, but the fees required pursuant to Subsection 4.2.1 shall be paid prior to the re-issuance or extension of any building permit for which such fees have not previously been paid.
4.3 Public Benefit Fee.
4.3.1 As consideration for City's approval and performance of its obligations as set forth in this Agreement, Owner agrees to pay to the City a one-time public benefit fee in the amount of Four Dollars and Twenty five Cents ($4.25) per building square foot, which is estimated to be One Hundred Fifty Thousand, Eight Hundred Ninety-Six Dollars and Twenty Five Cents ($150,896.25) ("Public Benefit Fee"). Payment of the Public Benefit Fee shall be in addition to any other customary fees or charges to which the Project would otherwise be subject (e.g., development impact fees and application fees). The actual amount of the Public Benefit Fee shall be set, based upon the actual building square footage, prior to the issuance of any building permit for the Project, and Owner shall pay the Public Benefit Fee to the City prior to the issuance of any building permit for the Project.
4.3.2 The City has sole discretion to determine the uses for the Public Benefit Fee. The City has not designated a specific project or purpose for the Public Benefit Fee. Owner acknowledges by its approval and execution of this Agreement that it is voluntarily agreeing to pay the Public Benefit Fee, that its obligation to pay the Public Benefit Fee is an essential term of this Agreement, and that Owner expressly waives any constitutional, statutory, or common law right it might have in the absence of this Agreement to protest or challenge the payment of the 81561
-14-
Public Benefit Fee on any ground whatsoever, including without limitation pursuant to the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, California Constitution Article I Section 19, the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code Section 66000 et seq.), or otherwise.
4.3.3 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the obligation of Owner to pay the Public Benefit Fee as set forth in Section 4.3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all buildings have been constructed on the Property pursuant to the Development Plan or otherwise.
5. FINANCING OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
If deemed appropriate, City and Owner will cooperate in the formation of any special assessment district, community facilities district or alternate financing mechanism to pay for the construction and/or maintenance and operation of public infrastructure facilities required as part of the Development Plan. City also agrees that, to the extent any such district or other financing entity is formed and sells bonds in order to finance such reimbursements, Owner may be reimbursed to the extent that Owner spends funds or dedicates land for the establishment of public facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring City or the City Council to form any such district or to issue and sell bonds.
6. REVIEW FOR COMPLIANCE
6.1 Periodic Review. As required by California Government Code Section 65865.1, the Director of Planning will review this Agreement annually, on or before each anniversary of the Effective Date, in order to ascertain the good faith compliance by Owner with the terms of the Agreement. Owner shall submit an Annual Monitoring Report, in a form acceptable to the Director of Planning, within 30 days after written notice from the Planning Director. The Annual Monitoring Report shall be accompanied by an annual review and administration fee sufficient to defray the estimated costs of review and administration of the Agreement during the succeeding year. The amount of the annual review and administration fee shall be set annually by resolution of the City Council.
6.2 Special Review. The City Council may order a special review of Owner's compliance with this Agreement at any time. The Director of Planning will conduct the special review.
6.2.1 During either an annual or special review. Owner will be required to demonstrate its good faith compliance with this Agreement. The burden of proof on this issue shall be on Owner.
6.2.2 Upon completion of an annual or special review, the Director of Planning will submit a report to the City Council setting forth the evidence concerning Owner's good faith compliance with this Agreement and his or her recommended finding on that issue. 81662
-15-
6.2.3 If the City Council finds on the basis of substantial evidence that Owner has materially complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then the review will be concluded.
6.2.4 If the City Council makes a preliminary finding that Owner has not materially complied in good faith with this Agreement, then, following notice and opportunity to cure as provided under Section 6.4, the City Council may modify or terminate this Agreement as provide in Section 6.4 and 6.5. Notice of default as provided under Section 7.4 of this Agreement shall be given to Owner prior to or concurrent with, proceedings under Section 6.4 and Section 6.5.
7. PROCEEDINGS FOR MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION.
7.1 Proceedings Upon Modification or Termination. If, upon a finding under Section
6.2, City determines to proceed with modification or termination of this Agreement, City shall give written notice to Owner of its intention so to do. The notice shall be given at least ten calendar days prior to the scheduled hearing and shall contain:
7.1.1 The time and place of the hearing;
7.1.2 A statement as to whether or not City proposes to terminate or to modify the Agreement; and
7.1.3 Such other information as is reasonably necessary to inform Owner of the nature of the proceeding.
7.2 Hearing on Modification or Termination. At the time and place set for the hearing on modification or termination, Owner shall be given an opportunity to be heard. Owner shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The burden of proof on this issue shall be on Owner. If the City Council finds, based upon substantial evidence, that Owner has not complied in good faith with the terms or conditions of the Agreement, the City Council may terminate this Agreement or modify this Agreement and impose such conditions as are reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the City. The decision of the City Council shall be final, subject only to judicial review pursuant to Section 1094.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
7.3 Certificate of Agreement Compliance. If, at the conclusion of a Periodic or Special Review, Owner is found to be in compliance with this Agreement, City shall, upon request by Owner, issue a Certificate of Agreement Compliance (“Certificate”) to Owner stating that after the most recent Periodic or Special Review and based upon the information known or made known to the Planning Director and City Council that (1) this Agreement remains in effect and (2) Owner is not in default. The Certificate shall be in recordable form, shall contain information necessary to communicate constructive record notice of the finding of compliance, shall state whether the Certificate is issued after a Periodic or Special Review and shall state the anticipated date of commencement of the next Periodic Review. Owner may record the Certificate with the County Recorder.
81763
-16-
Whether or not the Certificate is relied upon by assignees or other transferees or Owner, City shall not be bound by a Certificate if a default existed at the time of the Periodic or Special Review, but was concealed from or otherwise not known to the Planning Director or City Council.
8. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
8.1 Remedies in General. The parties agree that the City would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable for damages under this Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement or the application itself.
8.1.1 In general, and subject to those procedural prerequisites required under the Development Agreement Policies or this Agreement, each of the parties may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of this Agreement, except that CITY shall not be liable in damages to Owner, or to any successor in interest of Owner, or to any other person, and Owner covenants not to sue for damages or claim any damages:
(a) For any breach of this Agreement or for any cause of action that arises out of this Agreement; or
(b) For the taking, impairment, or restriction of any right or interest conveyed, provided under or arising under this Agreement; or (c) Arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.
8.2 Specific Performance.
8.2.1 The parties acknowledge that money damages and remedies at law generally are inadequate and specific performance and other non-monetary relief are particularly appropriate remedies for the enforcement of this Agreement and should be available to all parties for the following reasons:
(a) Monetary damages are unavailable against City as provided in Section 8.1 above.
(b) Due to the size, nature and scope of the Project, it may not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such time, Owner may be precluded from other options it may have had with regard to the Property or any portions thereof. Moreover, Owner has invested significant time and resources in the planning and processing of the Project. Owner will be investing even more time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon this Agreement and it is not possible to determine the sum of money that would adequately compensate Owner for such efforts.
8.3 Release. Except for non-damage remedies, including the remedy of specific performance as provided in Section 8.2, Owner, for itself, its successors and assignees, releases City, its officials, officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or suits of any kind or nature arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, including, but not limited to, any claim or liability based upon Article I, Section 19 of the 81864
-17-
California Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, or any other law or ordinance that seeks to impose any other liability or damage, whatsoever upon City because it entered into this Agreement or because of the terms of this Agreement.
8.4 City's Termination of Agreement or Exercise of Other Remedies Upon Owner's Default. City may terminate or modify this Agreement as to all or a portion of the Property upon Owner's failure to perform any material duty or obligation under this Agreement, or to comply in good faith with the terms of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "default"); provided, however, City may modify or terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section only after providing written notice to Owner of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by Owner to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, if Owner fails to cure the default within sixty (60) days after its receipt of the notice, or if the default is of a type that cannot be cured within sixty (60) days but can be cured within a longer time, and Owner fails to commence the actions necessary to cure the default within sixty (60) days and to diligently proceed to cure the default.
8.5 Owner's Termination of Agreement or Exercise of Other Remedies Upon City's Default. Owner may terminate this Agreement only in the event of a default by City in the performance of a material term of this Agreement and only after providing written notice to City of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by City to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, City has failed to take such actions and cure such default within 60 days after the effective date of such notice or, in the event that such default cannot be cured within such 60 day period but can be cured within a longer time, has failed to commence the actions necessary to cure such default within such 60 day period and to diligently proceed to complete such actions and cure such default.
8.6 Informal Resolution. The parties recognize that good faith disagreements may arise between City and Owner during the administration and implementation of this Agreement.
The parties will meet and confer in a good-faith attempt to resolve any dispute and will consider alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.
9. THIRD PARTY LITIGATION
9.1 General Plan Litigation. City has determined that this Agreement is consistent with its Comprehensive General Plan, herein called General Plan, and that the General Plan meets all requirements of law. Owner has reviewed the General Plan and concurs with City’s determination.
City shall have no liability in damages under this Agreement for any failure of City to perform under this Agreement or the inability of Owner to develop the Property as contemplated by the Development Plan of this Agreement as the result of a judicial determination that on the Effective Date, or at any time thereafter, the General Plan, or portions thereof, are invalid or inadequate or not in compliance with law.
9.2 Third-Party Litigation Concerning Agreement. Owner shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys’ fees, indemnify, and hold harmless City, its agents, officers and employees from any claim, action or proceeding against City, its agents, officers, or employees to 81965
-18-
attack, set aside, void, or annul the approval of this Agreement or the approval of any permit granted pursuant to this Agreement. City shall promptly notify Owner of any such claim, action or proceeding, and City shall cooperate in the defense. If City fails to promptly notify Owner of any such claim, action or proceeding, or if City fails to cooperate in the defense, Owner shall not thereafter be responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless City. City may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Term set forth in Section 4.3 of this Agreement and the expiration date of all Development Approvals will automatically be extended by the longer of (i) the number of days in the period commencing on the date of filing any legal action of the type described in this Section and ending on the date that the claim, action or proceeding is either settled or fully and finally resolved in City’s and Owner’s favor, as evidenced by the expiration of all appeal periods with no further appeal being filed or the issuance of a full, final and non-appealable judgment or decisions; or (ii) the number of days in the period commencing on the date that a referendum conceding the Development Approvals is timely qualified for the ballot and the date that a referendum is certified resulting in upholding and approving the Development Approvals.
City will execute, in recordable form, any instrument which Owner may reasonably require to evidence the extension.
9.3 Indemnity.

The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit Owner, in any manner, at Owner's sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device securing financing with respect to the Property.

(a) Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the lien of any mortgage on the Property made in good faith and for value, unless otherwise required by law. (b) The Mortgagee of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property, or any part thereof, which Mortgagee, has submitted a request in writing to the City in the manner specified herein for giving notices, shall be entitled to receive written notification from City of any default by Owner in the performance of Owner's obligations under this Agreement. (c) If City timely receives a request from a Mortgagee requesting a copy of any notice of default given to Owner under the terms of this Agreement, City shall provide a copy of that notice to the Mortgagee within ten (10) days of sending the notice of default to Owner.
The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the default during the remaining cure period allowed Owner under this Agreement.

(d) Any Mortgagee who comes into possession of the Property, or any part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust, or deed in lieu of such foreclosure, shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgagee shall have an obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform any of Owner's obligations or other affirmative covenants of Owner hereunder, or to guarantee such performance; provided, however, that to the extent that any covenant to be performed by Owner is a condition precedent to the performance of a covenant by City, the performance thereof shall continue to be a condition precedent to City' s performance hereunder, and further provided that any sale, transfer or assignment by any Mortgagee in possession shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement.

If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be determined invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby to the extent such remaining provisions are not rendered impractical to perform taking into consideration the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision of the public benefits set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, including the payment of the fees set forth therein, are essential elements of this Agreement and City would not have entered into this Agreement but for such provisions, and therefore in the event such provisions are determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, this entire Agreement shall be null and void and of no force and effect whatsoever.

11.9 Waiver. Failure by a party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party, or the failure by a party to exercise its rights upon the default of the other party, shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to insist and demand strict compliance by the other party thereafter.

If any such events shall occur, the Term of this Agreement and the time for performance by either party of any of its obligations hereunder will be extended for the period of time that such events prevented such performance, provided that the Term of this Agreement shall not be extended under any circumstances due to a force majeure event for more than five (5) years.

11.16 Project as a Private Undertaking. It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that the development of the Project is a private development, that neither party is acting as the agent of the other in any respect hereunder, and that each party is an independent contracting entity with respect to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement.

11.18 Eminent Domain. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to limit or restrict the exercise by City of its power of eminent domain.
11.19 Agent for Service of Process. In the event Owner is not a resident of the State of California or it is an association, partnership or joint venture without a member, partner or joint venturer resident of the State of California, or it is a foreign corporation, then in any such event, Owner shall file with the Planning Director, upon its execution of this Agreement, a designation of a natural person residing in the State of California, giving his or her name, residence and business addresses, as its agent for the purpose of service of process in any court action arising out of or based upon this Agreement, and the delivery to such agent of a copy of any process in any such action shall constitute valid service upon Owner. If for any reason service of such process upon such agent is not feasible, then in such event Owner may be personally served with such process out of this County and such service shall constitute valid service upon Owner. Owner is amenable to the process so served, submits to the jurisdiction of the Court so obtained and waives any and all objections and protests thereto. Owner for itself, assigns and successors hereby waives the provisions of the Hague Convention (Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extra Judicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters, 20 U.S.T. 361, T.I.A.S.
