C
. The adoption of the entitlements described in Sections B(1) through B( 9) (the “Parc West Project Approvals”) were supported by the City Council’s certification of Final EIR SCH No. 2020039061 (the “EIR”) on January 28, 2021.

D
. The City has determined that the approval of this Agreement is in furtherance of the implementation of the project evaluated in the EIR and that none of the circumstances described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 or 15163 exist that require any further evaluation of the Project pursuant to a Subsequent or Supplement to the EIR.

Notwithstanding the above, f uture discretionary approvals shall require assessment under CEQA.

E. D

The City and Developer acknowledge the development and construction of the Parc West Project is a large-scale undertaking involving major investments by Developer, with development occurring over a period of years. Certainty that the Parc West Project 3 can be developed and used in accordance with the Existing City Requirements as of the Adoption Date of this Agreement, will benefit the City and Developer and will provide the Parties certainty with respect to implementation of the policies set forth in the Fresno General Plan (as amended by the Plan Amendment), and the Existing City Requirements.

F. The City has determined this Agreement furthers the public health, safety, and general welfare, and the provisions of this Agreement are consistent with the goals and policies of the Fresno General Plan. For the reasons recited herein, the City and Developer have determined the Parc West Project is a development for which this Agreement is appropriate. This Agreement will eliminate uncertainty regarding Parc West Project and certain subsequent development approvals, thereby encouraging planning for, investment in and commitment to use and develop the Parc West Project Area. Continued use and development of the Parc West Project Area is anticipated to, in turn, provide the following substantial benefits and contribute to the provision of needed infrastructure for area growth, thereby achieving the goals and purposes for which the Development Agreement Laws were enacted: (1) Provide for the development of unused land; (2) Provide increased tax revenues for the City; (3) Provide for j obs and economic development in the City; (4) Provide infrastructure improvements; and, (5) Meet the goals of the Fresno General Plan to create "Complete Neighborhoods" that will reduce vehicle trips and serve all segments of the City. It is based upon these benefits to the City that the City is agreeable to proceeding with the approval of this Agreement.

G. The City has further determined it is appropriate to enter into this Agreement to: (1) provide certainty to encourage investment in the comprehensive development and planning of the Parc West Project; (2) secure orderly development and progressive fiscal benefits for public services, improvements and facilities planning for the Parc West Project Area and neighboring areas; and (3) fulfill and implement adopted City plans, goals, policies and objectives.

Section 3.7 Project Timing. The Parties acknowledge that Developer cannot at this time predict when, or the order in which, individual buildings on the Parc West Project Area will be developed. Such decisions with respect to phasing of development of the Parc West Project Area will depend upon a number of circumstances not within the control of Developer, including, without limitation, market conditions and demand for the use or uses of the Parc West Project Area, the condition of capital markets and availability of appropriate financing for the development of the Parc West Project Area (such as construction or interim and permanent loans, and/or equity capital) and other similar factors. In order to accommodate market uncertainties, upon request by Developer, the parties may mutually agree to establish phases for the Parc West Project and the order in which the phases will be developed. Any change in the order and time of the phases once established, must be by mutual written agreement. In connection with each phase, Developer shall be required to comply with the Development Approvals. Notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, Building Permits will be issued in accordance with the amended conditions of zoning detailed in Ordinance No. 2021-003, and will be as set forth in the Dev elopment Approvals for each Approved Tentative Map or Subsequent Maps upon approval.

Section 3.8 H
old on Issuing a Building Permit or Certificate of Occupancy . The City reserves the right to place a hold on the issuance of a Building Permit or Certificate of Occupancy for a building in the Parc West Project in the event the Existing City Requirements or Conditions of Approval with respect to that building have not been completed by Developer or in the interest of preserving health and safety as reasonably determined by the Director.

Section 3.9 Final Map. Pursuant to the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the City's Parcel Map Ordinance, if at the time the Developer requests the City approve and record a Final Map for all or some of the parcels delineated in any of the the approved Tentative Maps, or any subsequent Subdivision Maps that conform to the uses and densities detailed in Exhibits "C -1" and "C-2", Developer has not complied with the applicable conditions of approval for a Final Map, as reasonably determined by the City Engineer, Developer shall execute a Subdivision Agreement with respect to such property, provided that the Subdivision Agreement shall not i mpose City Development Fees or Exactions beyond those provided for in
Section 5.2 and Section 5.4 below.

Section 3.10 Confirmation of Compliance with Density Standards . For those portions of the Parc West Project Area that are zoned RS -5-UGM/cz, the minimum and 10 maximum density standards applicable to such zone district may be applied based on the overall density developed with the Parc West Project Area. As a result, individual Subsequent Maps may be approved with densities that are higher or lower than such minimum and maximum density st andards, provided that at the time such Subsequent Map is approved as a Final Map, there remains sufficient additional undeveloped property within the RS-5-UGM/cz district that could be feasibility developed at density standards that would assure that the Parc West Project Area, on an overall developed basis, satisfies the applicable density standards.

ARTICLE 4.

Section 4.3 R
eview and Processing of Subsequent Maps. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, for all Subsequent Maps required for the Parc West Project which comply with the Vested Uses and the requirements of the Applicable Rules, the City shall endeavor to process and schedule final approval of such applications within the following time frames: where the CEQA compliances are based on: (a) the certified EIR or an addendum thereto, ninety (90) days; (b) a subsequent MND or Negative Declaration, sixty (60) days from the date of adoption by the lead agency of the MND or Negative Declaration; and, (c) a subsequent EIR, one hundred eighty (180) days from the 11 date of certification by the lead agency of the environmental impact report .

Section 4.4 Duration of Vested Rights . Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, the Parc West Approvals, Subsequent Maps, the City Permits, the Existing City Requirements and the Permitted Rules Revisions that may establish earlier expiration dates for the above items, the Parties mutually acknowledge and agree, consistent with the provisions of California Government Code Sections 66452.6(a) and 65863.9, that the Parc West Approvals, Subsequent Maps, and any City Permits for the Parc West Project will be vested and remain valid and effective throughout the Term.
