Project: P23-00835-Conditional Use Permit-MLK and church Retail District CEQA Reference No: 20230487
Dear Mr. Martinez:
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application from the City of Fresno (City) for the MLK and Church Retail project. Per the CUP, the project consists of a 6,663 square foot building for a 3,063 square foot drive-thru restaurant and a 3,600 square foot office (Project).
The Project is located at 820 East Church Avenue, Fresno, CA. The Project lies within one of the communities in the state selected by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for investment of additional air quality resources and attention under Assembly Bill (AB) 617 (Garcia) in an effort to reduce air pollution exposure in impacted disadvantaged communities.
The District offers the following comments regarding the Project:
Assembly Bill 617
AB 617 requires CARB and air districts to develop and implement Community Emission Reduction Programs (CERPs) in an effort to reduce air pollution exposure in impacted disadvantaged communities, like those in which the Project is located.
The South Central Fresno AB 617 community is one of the statewide communities selected by CARB for development and implementation of a CERP.
Following extensive community engagement and collaboration with the Community Steering Committee, the CERP for the South Central Fresno Community was adopted by the District’s Governing Board in September 2019 and by CARB in February 2020.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 2 of 7 District Reference No: 20230487
June 26, 2023
During the development of the CERP, the Community Steering Committee expressed concerns regarding the proximity of emission sources to nearby sensitive receptors like schools, homes, day care centers, and hospitals, and the potential future industrial development within the community that may exacerbate the cumulative exposure burden for community residents. The Community Steering Committee also expressed the desire for more meaningful avenues of engagement surrounding the land-use decisions in the area. As these issues can most effectively be addressed through strong partnerships between community members and local land-use agencies. Furthermore, the District recommends the City assess the emission reductions measures and strategies included in the CERP and address them in the environmental assessment as appropriate, to align the City work with the air pollution and exposure reduction strategies and measures outlined in the CERP.
For more information regarding the CERP approved for South Central Fresno, please visit the District’s website at:
http://community.valleyair.org/selected-communities/south-central-fresno Project Related Emissions
At the federal level under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the District is designated as extreme nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone standards and serious nonattainment for the particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in size (PM2.5) standards. At the state level under California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS), the District is designated as nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone, PM10, PM2.5 standards.
Based on information provided to the District, Project specific annual criteria pollutant emissions from construction and operation are not expected to exceed any of the significance thresholds as identified in the District’s Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI):
https://www.valleyair.org/transportation/GAMAQI.pdf.
Construction Emissions
The District recommends, to reduce impacts from construction-related diesel exhaust emissions, the Project should utilize the cleanest available off-road construction equipment, including the latest tier equipment.
Health Risk Screening/Assessment
The City should evaluate the risk associated with the Project for sensitive receptors (residences, businesses, hospitals, day-care facilities, health care facilities, etc.) in the area and mitigate any potentially significant risk to help limit exposure of sensitive receptors to emissions.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 3 of 7 District Reference No: 20230487
June 26, 2023
To determine potential health impacts on surrounding receptors (residences, businesses, hospitals, day-care facilities, health care facilities, etc.) a Prioritization and/or a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) should be performed for the Project. These health risk determinations should quantify and characterize potential Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment/California Air Resources Board (OEHHA/CARB) that pose a present or potential hazard to human health.
Health risk analyses should include all potential air emissions from the project, which include emissions from construction of the project, including multi-year construction, as well as ongoing operational activities of the project. Note, two common sources of TACs can be attributed to diesel exhaust emitted from heavy-duty off-road earth moving equipment during construction, and from ongoing operation of heavy-duty on-road trucks.
Prioritization (Screening Health Risk Assessment):
A “Prioritization” is the recommended method for a conservative screening-level health risk assessment. The Prioritization should be performed using the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association’s (CAPCOA) methodology.
The District recommends that a more refined analysis, in the form of an HRA, be performed for any project resulting in a Prioritization score of 10 or greater. This is because the prioritization results are a conservative health risk representation, while the detailed HRA provides a more accurate health risk evaluation.
To assist land use agencies and project proponents with Prioritization analyses, the District has created a prioritization calculator based on the aforementioned CAPCOA guidelines, which can be found here:
http://www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/emission_factors/Criteria/Toxics/Utilities/PRIORI TIZATION-CALCULATOR.xls
Health Risk Assessment:
Prior to performing an HRA, it is strongly recommended that land use agencies/ project proponents develop and submit for District review a health risk modeling protocol that outlines the sources and methodologies that will be used to perform the HRA. This step will ensure all components are addressed when performing the HRA.
A development project would be considered to have a potentially significant health risk if the HRA demonstrates that the project-related health impacts would exceed the District’s significance threshold of 20 in a million for carcinogenic risk, or 1.0 for either the Acute or Chronic Hazard Indices.
A project with a significant health risk would trigger all feasible mitigation measures.
The District strongly recommends that development projects that result in a significant health risk not be approved by the land use agency.

Recommended Measure: Development projects resulting in TAC emissions should be located an adequate distance from residential areas and other sensitive receptors in accordance to CARB's Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective located at https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/resourcecenter/strategy-development/land-use-resources.
Ambient Air Quality Analysis
An Ambient Air Quality Analysis (AAQA) uses air dispersion modeling to determine if emissions increases from a project will cause or contribute to a violation of State or National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The District recommends an AAQA be performed for the Project if emissions exceed 100 pounds per day of any pollutant.
An acceptable analysis would include emissions from both project-specific permitted and non-permitted equipment and activities. The District recommends consultation with District staff to determine the appropriate model and input data to use in the analysis.
Specific information for assessing significance, including screening tools and modeling guidance, is available online at the District’s website:
www.valleyair.org/ceqa.
Under-fired Charbroilers
The Project may have restaurants with under-fired charbroilers. Such charbroilers may pose the potential for immediate health risk, particularly when located in densely populated areas or near sensitive receptors.
Since the cooking of meat can release carcinogenic PM2.5 species, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, controlling emissions from new under-fired charbroilers will have a substantial positive impact on public health. The air quality impacts on neighborhoods near restaurants with under-fired charbroilers can be San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 5 of 7 District Reference No: 20230487
June 26, 2023
significant on days when meteorological conditions are stable, when dispersion is limited and emissions are trapped near the surface within the surrounding neighborhoods. This potential for neighborhood-level concentration of emissions during evening or multi-day stagnation events raises air quality concerns.
Furthermore, reducing commercial charbroiling emissions is essential to achieving attainment of multiple federal PM2.5 standards. Therefore, the District recommends that the environmental assessment include a measure requiring the assessment and potential installation, as technologically feasible, of particulate matter emission control systems for new large restaurants operating under-fired charbroilers.
The District is available to assist the City and project proponents with this assessment. Additionally, the District is currently offering substantial incentive funding that covers the full cost of purchasing, installing, and maintaining the system during a demonstration period covering two years of operation. Please contact the District at (559) 230-5800 or [email protected] for more information, or visit:
http://valleyair.org/grants/rctp.htm
Vegetative Barriers and Urban Greening
There is a middle school located next to the project on the east side and residential units located north and south of the Project. The District suggests the City consider the feasibility of incorporating vegetative barriers and urban greening as a measure to further reduce air pollution exposure on sensitive receptors (e.g., middle school, residential units).
While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, vegetative barriers have been shown to be an additional measure to potentially reduce a population’s exposure to air pollution through the interception of airborne particles and the update of gaseous pollutants. Examples of vegetative barriers include, but are not limited to the following: trees, bushes, shrubs, or a mix of these. Generally, a higher and thicker vegetative barrier with full coverage will result in greater reductions in downwind pollutant concentrations. In the same manner, urban greening is also a way to help improve air quality and public health in addition to enhancing the overall beautification of a community with drought tolerant, low-maintenance greenery.
Clean Lawn and Garden Equipment in the Community
Since the Project consists of a commercial development, gas-powered commercial lawn and garden equipment have the potential to result in an increase of NOx and PM2.5 emissions. Utilizing electric lawn care equipment can provide residents with immediate economic, environmental, and health benefits. The District recommends the Project proponent consider the District’s Clean Green Yard Machines (CGYM) program which provides incentive funding for replacement of existing gas powered San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 6 of 7 District Reference No: 20230487
June 26, 2023
lawn and garden equipment. More information on the District CGYM program and funding can be found at: http://www.valleyair.org/grants/cgym.htm and http://valleyair.org/grants/cgym-commercial.htm.
On-Site Solar Deployment
It is the policy of the State of California that renewable energy resources and zerocarbon resources supply 100% of retail sales of electricity to California end-use customers by December 31, 2045. While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, the production of solar energy is contributing to improving air quality and public health. The District suggests that the City consider incorporating solar power systems as an emission reduction strategy for the Project.
Electric Vehicle Chargers
To support and accelerate the installation of electric vehicle charging equipment and development of required infrastructure, the District offers incentives to public agencies, businesses, and property owners of multi-unit dwellings to install electric charging infrastructure (Level 2 and 3 chargers). The purpose of the District’s Charge Up! Incentive program is to promote clean air alternative-fuel technologies and the use of low or zero-emission vehicles. The District recommends that the City and project proponents install electric vehicle chargers at project sites, and at strategic locations.
Please visit www.valleyair.org/grants/chargeup.htm for more information.
District Rules and Regulations
The District issues permits for many types of air pollution sources, and regulates some activities that do not require permits. A project subject to District rules and regulations would reduce its impacts on air quality through compliance with the District’s regulatory framework. In general, a regulation is a collection of individual rules, each of which deals with a specific topic. As an example, Regulation II (Permits) includes District Rule 2010 (Permits Required), Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review), Rule 2520 (Federally Mandated Operating Permits), and several other rules pertaining to District permitting requirements and processes.
The list of rules below is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Current District rules can be found online at: www.valleyair.org/rules/1ruleslist.htm. To identify other District rules or regulations that apply to future projects, or to obtain information about District permit requirements, the project proponents are strongly encouraged to contact the District’s Small Business Assistance (SBA) Office at (559) 230-5888.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 7 of 7 District Reference No: 20230487
June 26, 2023
District Rules 2010 and 2201 - Air Quality Permitting for Stationary Sources
Stationary Source emissions include any building, structure, facility, or installation which emits or may emit any affected pollutant directly or as a fugitive emission. District Rule 2010 (Permits Required) requires operators of emission sources to obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) and Permit to Operate (PTO) from the District. District Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review) requires that new and modified stationary sources of emissions mitigate their emissions using Best Available Control Technology (BACT).
This Project may be subject to District Rule 2010 (Permits Required) and Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review) and may require District permits. Prior to construction, the Project proponent should submit to the District an application for an ATC. For further information or assistance, the project proponent may contact the District’s SBA Office at (559) 230-5888 District Rule 9510 - Indirect Source Review (ISR)
The Project is subject to District Rule 9510 because it will receives a projectlevel discretionary approval from a public agency and will equal or exceed 2,000 square feet of commercial use.
The purpose of District Rule 9510 is to reduce the growth in both NOx and PM emissions associated with development and transportation projects from mobile and area sources; specifically, the emissions associated with the construction and subsequent operation of development projects. The ISR Rule requires developers to mitigate their NOx and PM emissions by incorporating clean air design elements into their projects. Should the proposed development project clean air design elements be insufficient to meet the required emission reductions, developers must pay a fee that ultimately funds incentive projects to achieve off-site emissions reductions.
Per Section 5.0 of the ISR Rule, an Air Impact Assessment (AIA) application is required to be submitted no later than applying for project-level approval from a public agency. As of the date of this letter, the District has not received an AIA application for this Project. Please inform the project proponent to immediately submit an AIA application to the District to comply with District Rule 9510 so that proper mitigation and clean air design under ISR can be incorporated into the Project’s design.

FRESNO METROPOLITAN FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT
NOTICE OF REQUIREMENTS
7. The Federal Clean Water Act and the State General Permits for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Industrial Activities (State General Permits) require developers of construction projects disturbing one or more acres, and discharges associated with industrial activity not otherwise exempt from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, to implement controls to reduce pollutants, prohibit the discharge of waters other than storm water to the municipal storm drain system, and meet water quality standards. These requirements apply both to pollutants generated during construction, and to those which may be generated by operations at the development after construction.
a. State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities, effective July 1, 2010, as amended. A State General Construction Permit is required for all clearing, grading, and disturbances to the ground that result in soil disturbance of at least one acre (or less than one acre) if part of a larger common plan of development or sale). Permittees are required to: submit a Notice of Intent and Permit Registration Documents to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board), develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site inspections, train employees in permit compliance, and complete an annual certification of compliance.
b. State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities, April, 2014 (available at the District Office). A State General Industrial Permit is required for specific types of industries described in the NPDES regulations or by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. The following categories of industries are generally required to secure an industrial permit: manufacturing; trucking; recycling; and waste and hazardous waste management. Specific exemptions exist for manufacturing activities which occur entirely indoors. Permittees are required to: submit a Notice of Intent to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources Control Board, develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site inspections, train employees in permit compliance, sample storm water runoff and test it for pollutant indicators, and annually submit a report to the State Board. c. The proposed development is encouraged to select and implement storm water quality controls recommended in the Fresno-Clovis Storm Water Quality Management Construction and Post-Construction Guidelines (available at the District Office) to meet the requirements of the State General Permits, eliminate the potential for non-storm water to enter the municipal storm drain system, and where possible minimize contact with materials which may contaminate storm water runoff.
8. A requirement of the District may be appealed by filing a written notice of appeal with the Secretary of the District within ten days of the date of this Notice of Requirements.
9. The District reserves the right to modify, reduce or add to these requirements, or revise fees, as necessary to accommodate changes made in the proposed development by the developer or requirements made by other agencies.

At this time, the City of Fresno is proposing to install the Master Plan facilities shown on Exhibit No. 1 as part of a City of Fresno project to widen Church Avenue. If those facilities are completed prior to development of this site, permanent drainage service will be available. If those facilities are not constructed prior to development of the site, the District recommends temporary facilities until permanent service is available.
In an effort to improve storm runoff quality, outdoor storage areas shall be constructed and maintained such that material that may generate contaminants will be prevented from contact with rainfall and runoff and thereby prevent the conveyance of contaminants in runoff into the storm drain system.
The District encourages, but does not require that roof drains from non-residential development be constructed such that they are directed onto and through a landscaped grassy swale area to filter out pollutants from roof runoff.
Runoff from areas where industrial activities, product, or merchandise come into contact with and may contaminate storm water must be treated before discharging it off-site or into a storm drain.
Roofs covering such areas are recommended. Cleaning of such areas by sweeping instead of washing is to be required unless such wash water can be directed to the sanitary sewer system.
Storm drains receiving untreated runoff from such areas shall not be connected to the District’s system. Loading docks, depressed areas, and areas servicing or fueling vehicles are specifically subject to these requirements. The District’s policy governing said industrial site NPDES program requirements is available on the District’s website at: www.fresnofloodcontrol.org or contact the District’s Environmental Department for further information regarding these policies related to industrial site requirements.

BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRESNO, A lVIUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND 2500 MLK, LLC. A CALIFORNIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Development Agreement (the Agreement) is made this r.,-1-A day of MA:Rltl , 2020, by and between the CITY OF FRESNO, a municipal corporation, (the City) and 2500 MLK, LLC, a California limited liability company (the Master Developer). City and Master Developer are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the "Parties" and each may be referred to as a "Party".
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to Sections 65864 through 65869.5 of the California Government Code (the Development Agreement Laws), the City is authorized to enter into binding development agreements with Persons (as hereinafter defined) having legal or equitable interest in real property for the development of such real property. As a Charter City, the City may not be limited to the Development Agreement Laws to enter into development agreements. Nevertheless, the City has elected to enter this Agreement under the Development Agreement Laws and in accordance with Fresno Municipal Code Sections 15-6001 et seq.
B. Master Developer owns the real property legally described on attached Exhibit A-1, which is referred to herein as the "Master Developer Property", and comprises an area that is approximately 89.68 gross acres within the West Creek Village Project Area described below.
C. Master Developer conveyed to State Center Community College District (SCCCD) the real property described on Exhibit A-2, referred to herein as the Fresno City College-West Fresno Satellite Parcel.
D. The property described on Exhibits A-1 and A-2 is referred to herein collectively as the West Creek Village Project Area (formerly known as the MLK Activity Center Project Area). The West Creek Village Project Area is an approximately 115 acre area in the City, bounded generally by Martin Luther King Blvd. on the east, East Church Avenue on the north, South Knight Avenue on the west, and East Jensen Avenue on the south.
E. The following entitlements (the Prior West Creek Village Approvals) were previously adopted by the City in connection with the planning of a West Creek Village Project Area for the development of a master planned project comprising Medium Density Residential for 54.48 acres, Community Commercial for 2.4 acres, Regional Commercial for 22.52 acres, Park for 9.63 acres and Public Facility - College designation for 26.55 acres: (i) Plan Amendment No. A-17-007 (Resolution No. 2017- 231 ); (ii) Prezone Application No. R-17-010 (Ordinance No. 2017-43/Bill No. B-43); and, (iii) Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM-17-06 (Resolution No. 2017-232).
F. The Prior West Creek Village Approvals were approved by the Fresno City Council on August 24, 2017, at a duly noticed public meeting and after due review and consideration of: (i) the report of City staff on the Prior West Creek Village Approvals; (ii) 1 the recommendations of the Planning Commission; (iii) all other evidence heard and submitted at the duly noticed public hearing conducted August 24, 2017; and, (iv) all other appropriate documentation and circumstances, subject to the express conditions of approval set forth therein.
G. The Prior West Creek Village Approvals were further supported by the approval of MND (EA No. A-17-007/R-17-010/TPM-17-06/ANX-17-005) pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code Section 21000 e seq.) and the Guidelines thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations Section 15000, et seq.) (collectively, CEQA). A Notice of Determination in support of that MND was filed with, and posted by, the Fresno County Clerk on August 25, 2017.
H. The West Creek Village Project Area was annexed to the City pursuant to proceedings conducted by the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission, pursuant to the Jensen-Martin Luther King No. 4 Reorganization (LAFCO File No. R0-17-7).
I. Among the Conditions of Approval imposed by the City for the approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM-17-06 (the Parcel Map COA(s) is a requirement that the Master Developer enter into a Development Agreement with the City. This Development Agreement satisfies that Parcel Map COA.
J. Development of public improvements within the boundary of the West Creek Village Project Area is the subject of funding to be obtained through the City of Fresno pursuant to Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Program established by Assembly Bill (AB) 2722, administered by the Strategic Growth Council (SGC); namely, (i) a $4,500,000.00 funding request for development of a Park Amenity (defined below}, and, (ii) a $16,900,000.00 funding request for development of the Fresno City CollegeWest Fresno Satellite Project (collectively, the TCC Project Funds). The TCC Project Funds were sought pursuant to applications the City filed as the lead applicant with the SGC. To attain TCC Project Funds, the City committed to a match of such funds by developing the Perimeter Off-Sites (defined below), which the City estimated to the SGC would require expenditures by the City in the amount of $11,600,000.00.
K. Subsequent to attaining the Prior West Creek Village Approvals, Master Developer engaged an architect and land planner to the entitlements for the Prior West Creek Village Approvals, and to recommend certain refinements and enhancements to such entitlements. Those evaluations resulted in the West Creek Village Master Plan, a copy of which is on file with the City.
L. To implement the West Creek Village Master Plan, Master Developer has filed new applications to implement desired revisions to the Prior West Creek Village Approvals, which are detailed below (the "Subsequent Approvals"):
(i) Plan Amendment Application No. P18-03290; and,
(ii) Rezone application No. P18-03290.
2 M. The Subsequent Approvals establish the following land use designations for the Master Developer's Property (referenced acreages are gross acres): Community Park for 11.74 acres; Medium High Density Residential, for 21.32 acres; Medium Density Residential for 26.58 acres; Community Commercial for 3.08 acres; and, Regional Commercial for 26.96 acres.
N. The Subsequent Approvals further establish the following zone districts for the Master Developer's Property (referenced acreages are gross acres): PR for 11. 74 acres; RM-1 Residential Multi Family, for 21.32 acres; RS-5 Residential Single Family for 26.58 acres; CC - Community Commercial for 3.08 acres; and, CR Regional Commercial for 26.96 acres.
0. The West Creek Village Project means the development of Master Developer's Property consistent with the land uses and zonings designated in the Prior West Creek Village Approvals, as revised by the Subsequent Approvals. The Prior West Creek Village Approvals, as revised by the Subsequent Approvals, are referred to herein as the West Creek Village Approvals.
(i) Master Developer has filed an additional application consistent with the Subsequent Approvals to amend the previous Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM-17-06.
This application, Tentative Parcel Map Application No. 2019-02 will be assessed pursuant to CEQA and processed consistent with the procedures set forth in the Fresno Municipal Code and this Agreement subsequent to any action on the Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement.
P. The West Creek Village Project is a vital tool for implementing the objectives and policies of the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan, adopted by Council on October 26, 2017. Specifically, it directly implements Policy LU-1. 1 which calls for the establishment of a magnet core at the West Creek Village Project Site designed to attract a significant amount of new development. It implements Goal LU-5 which calls for a diverse range of housing types in Southwest Fresno, preserving Southwest Fresno's character as a primarily single-family residential community while providing higher-density housing in high activity areas. Through the commercial .portions of the West Creek Village Project, it implements Policy LU-6. 1 which calls for encouragement of larger regional retail development at key locations, including the West Creek Village Project Site. Through the inclusion of the Park Amenity, it directly implements Goal PF-2 of increasing the overall amount of usable parkland within Southwest Fresno by adding a new park over 11 gross acres. It directly implements Policy PF-6. 3 by facilitating a new community college campus within the West Creek Village Project Area. By implementing these vital goals and policies in the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan, the West Creek Village Project provides substantial benefit to the City and its residents.
Q. Master Developer filed the DA Application for approval of this Agreement in order to: (1) vest the land use and zoning policies established in the Existing City Requirements (as hereinafter defined) as of the Adoption Date (as hereinafter defined) 3 of this Agreement for the duration of the Term (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the West Creek Village Project; and, (2) memorialize certain other agreements made between the City and Master Developer with respect to the West Creek Village Project Area. The City and Master Developer acknowledge the development and construction of the West Creek Village Project is a large-scale undertaking involving major investments by Master Developer, with development occurring over a period of years.
Certainty that the West Creek Village Project 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 Master Developer and will provide the Parties certainty with respect to implementation of the policies set forth in the Fresno General Plan, the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan, and the Existing City Requirements.
R. On February 5, 2020, at a duly noticed public meeting and after due review and consideration of: (i) the report of City staff on the Subsequent Approvals and this Development Agreement; (ii) all other evidence heard and submitted at the public hearing; and, (iii) all other appropriate documentation and circumstances, the Planning Commission of the City adopted resolutions recommending the City Council: (1) approve an Addendum to the MND on the basis that the Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement necessitate some changes and additions to the project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for a further negative declaration (or an EIR) have occurred; (2) approve Plan Amendment No. P18-03290 /Rezone No. P18-03290; and, (3) adopt this Development Agreement; and, (4) approve the filing of a Notice of Determination to confirm that the adoption of this Development Agreement is in furtherance of the project described in the Addendum to the MND.
S. On February 13, 2020, at a duly noticed public meeting and after due review and consideration of: (i) the Subsequent Approvals; (ii) this Agreement; (iii) the recommendations of the Planning Commission; (iv) all other evidence heard and submitted at the duly noticed public hearing conducted and closed on February 13, 2020; and, (v) all other appropriate documentation and circumstances, the City Council: (a) adopted a resolution approving an Addendum to the MND on the basis that the Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement necessitate some changes and additions to the project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for a further negative declaration (or an EIR) have occurred, (b) adopted Resolution No. 2020-028 approving Plan Amendment No. P18-03290; (c) adopted Ordinance No. 2020-005 approving Rezone No. P18-03290; (d) introduced and subsequently on February 27, 2020, adopted an ordinance to approve this Agreement; and, (e) authorized the City Manager to finalize and execute this Agreement on behalf of the City (collectively, the City Council Resolutions and Ordinances) consistent with Council action; and, (f) directed City Staff to file a Notice of Determination to confirm that the adoption of this Development Agreement is in furtherance of the project described in the Addendum to the MND. 4 T. 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 and the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan. For the reasons recited herein, the City and Master Developer have determined the West Creek Village Project is a development for which this Agreement is appropriate. This Agreement will eliminate uncertainty regarding the West Creek Village Project and certain subsequent development approvals, thereby encouraging planning for, investment in and commitment to use and develop the West Creek Village Project Area.
Continued use and development of the West Creek Village 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 jobs and economic development in the City; (4) Provide infrastructure improvements; (5) Meet the goals of the Fresno General Plan and the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan to create Complete Neighborhoods that will reduce vehicle trips and serve all segments of the City; and, (6) implement important projects associated with the City's intended investment of TCC Project Funds. It is based upon these benefits to the City that the City is agreeable to approval of this Agreement for the West Creek Village Project.
U. 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 West Creek Village Project; (2) secure orderly development and progressive fiscal benefits for public services, improvements and facilities planning for the West Creek Village Project Area and neighboring areas; and, (3) fulfill and implement adopted City plans, goals, policies and objectives.

Section 3.5 Authorized Code Revisions. This Agreement shall not prevent the City from applying to the development of Master Developer's Property the following rules, regulations and policies adopted or enacted after the Adoption Date, if uniformly applied on a City-wide basis (collectively, the Authorized Code Revisions):

Section 3. 7 Hold on Certificate of Occupancy. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement the City reserves the right to place a hold on the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for a building on the Master Developer's Property in the event the Existing City Requirements or Conditions of Approval with respect to that building have not been substantially completed by Master Developer or in the interest of preserving health and safety as reasonably determined by the Director.

In addition, any Subdivision Agreement shall not impose security requirements with respect to improvements to be constructed by the City pursuant to ARTICLE 6.

All of the Exactions that Master Developer shall be required to perform or cause to be performed in connection with the development, construction, use and occupancy of the Master Developer's Property pursuant to the requirements of the Amended Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM-17-06, during the term of the Agreement (collectively, the Parcel Map Exactions), and the timing requirements for the performance of such Parcel Map Exactions, are set forth in the Conditions of Approval adopted by the City Council on August 24, 2017 with respect to 2017 Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2017-06, subject to the updated Fire Impact Fees set forth in Council Resolution No. 2019-125 made applicable by the findings set forth in Council Resolution 2019-126.

Except for the City Development Impact Fees described in subsection (a) above, no City Development Impact Fees shall be imposed by the City or any City Agency during the Term of this Agreement in connection with: (i) the development, construction, use or occupancy of the Master Developer's Property; or, (ii) any application filed for any City Permit for the development, construction, use or occupancy of the Master Developer's Property. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Future Discretionary Approval provides for uses, densities, or development patterns not contemplated by this Agreement or the West Creek Village Master Plan that will generate the need for additional City Development Impact Fees to defray, offset, or otherwise cover the cost of public services, improvements, or facilities, such additional City Development Impact Fees shall be imposed consistent with the Existing City Requirements in place at the time of application.
(c) Community Facilities District for Funding Services. Master Developer covenants and agrees that, as a condition to the issuance of an Occupancy permit for the development of a relevant portion of the Master Developer's Property, Master Developer shall have coordinated to assure either of the following: (i) The West Creek Village shall be annexed into Community Facilities District No. 9 for multi-family and commercial uses, and Community Facilities Districts No. 11 for single family residential uses (collectively "CFO Annexations"). The CFO Annexations shall be for the continued maintenance of the Park Amenity and may be utilized for additional landscape maintenance on public property within the Master Developer's Property. The City and Master Developer agree to consider the feasibility of the Master Developer or its assignee maintaining the CFO area through a CFO Maintenance Agreement; or, (ii) the Master Developer shall establish a stand-alone Community Facilities District, whose improvements may be maintained pursuant to service agreements arranged by the Master Developer, and which shall be guaranteed by service maintenance agreements.
It is further the intent that any stand-alone CFO Community Facilities District that is formed may, at the election of Master Developer, provide for enhanced security and enhanced program activities, to benefit the Park Amenity. 21 (d) Non-City Fees. Notwithstanding the prov1s1ons of Section 5.3(a}, Master Developer shall be responsible for paying: (a) any fees Master Developer is obligated to directly pay to any Federal, State, County or local agency (other than any City Agency) under applicable Federal, State, County or local law; and, (b) any fees the City is legally required to collect for other State or Federal agencies pursuant to: (i) State or Federal law or (ii) any City agreement or City ordinance the City is legally mandated or required to adopt or enter into to comply with State or Federal law or a judgment of a court of law, but only to the extent necessary to satisfy such compliance. (e) Quimby Act Requirements. The Parties agree that the Master Developer shall have no obligation for the dedication of land to comply with any requirements of Fresno Municipal Code Section 14-4.705 or Fresno Municipal Code Section 15-3701. Master Developer shall nevertheless remain obligated to pay the Parkland Dedication In-Lieu Fee described in Fresno Municipal Code Section 14-4.705 or Fresno Municipal Code Section 15-3701 for development of the West Creek Village Project, subject, however, to the reduction in such fees provided by the Southwest Revitalization Incentive Program described in Section 5.3(a) above. In addition, the parties agree that the Park Amenity acreage constitutes land dedicated for park or recreational purposes pursuant to the dedication requirements set forth in FMC 15-3701- J. Therefore, in determining the amount of any Parkland Dedication In-Lieu Fees, Master Developer shall be given a credit against any liability for payment of Parkland Dedication In-Lieu Fees based on the value of the Park Amenity dedicated by the Master Developer to the City (the "Parkland In-Lieu Fee Credits"}, determined in accordance with the following: one-half of the product of the gross acreage of the Park Amenity multiplied by the per acre value of the gross acres of the Park Amenity determined by the appraisal described in Section 6.1 (a) below. Master Developer may assign rights to use of the Parkland In-Lieu Fee Credits in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2 below.
Section 5.4 City Application Fees. Master Developer shall pay to the City the City Application Fees chargeable in accordance with the City's Master Fee Schedule that is in effect at the time the relevant application for a City Permit is made; provided such City Application Fees are uniformly imposed by the City and any City Agency at similar stages of project development on all similar applications for development in the City.
Section 5.5 City Preparation Costs. Master Developer has paid the City the sum of $26,530.00 which amount the City has determined to be the reasonable costs to be incurred by the City to negotiate, prepare and execute this Agreement (collectively, the City Preparation Costs). The Master Developer's liability for the city Preparation Costs is capped at the sum of $26,530.00, and the City shall reimburse Master Developer for any unused portion of the previously paid City Preparation Costs (which such unused portion based upon actually consumed staff time and City Attorney time, based upon reasonable imputed hourly rates).
Section 5.6 No Impact on City Obligations. The foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE 5 shall not be interpreted in a manner to diminish or otherwise affect the obligations of the City to construct Off-Site Improvements established in ARTICLE 6. 22 Section 5. 7 Phasing. Development of the Master Developer Property will include four general components (each a Phase). Notwithstanding such presently intended Phases, any development required or permitted to be conducted by Master Developer detailed below may be conducted in any order of priority, and one or more of such Phases may be developed concurrently with any other Phase (or portion of any Phase):
Phase I: Church Avenue Commercial Site: Development of the Church Avenue Commercial Site.
Phase II Residential Development: Development of the portions of the West Creek Village Residential Property located to the east of the Park Amenity Site and south or west of the Church Avenue Commercial Site (as delineated on the West Creek Village Master Plan).

ARTICLE 6.
ACTIONS BY CITY
Section 6.1 Park Amenity
(a) Acquisition of the Park Amenity Site. The City shall acquire from Master Developer, and Master Developer shall sell to City, the Park Amenity Site, subject to availability of the TCC Project Funds allocated for the Park Amenity. The entirety of the Park Amenity Site is 10.00 gross acres. The City shall purchase the Park Amenity Site acreage, and Master Developer agrees to accept a cash payment for One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00}, which amount reflects one-half of the value of such acreage established by the Appraisal Report prepared by a California certified general appraiser attached hereto as Exhibit "G". Master Developer further agrees to accept Parkland In-Lieu Fee Credits for the remaining value of the acreage, in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). City's acquisition of the Park Amenity Site is further subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) The City and Master Developer shall confirm in writing their joint approval of the size and configuration of the Park Amenity Site; (ii) the City shall be in receipt of sufficient TCC Project Funds, or other grant funds sufficient to fund the purchase price of the Park Amenity Site; and, (iii) the City and the Master Developer shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement, consistent with the above terms, and other commercially standard terms, providing for the sale of the Park Amenity Site, free from any consensual monetary encumbrances, pursuant to an escrow established with Fidelity Title Insurance Company as the Escrow Holder, and subject to such other terms and conditions as reasonably required by the Escrow Holder. In addition, the parties acknowledge that a 1.75 acre portion of the Park and Recreation zoned lands within the Master Developer Property is not a part of the Park Amenity Site 23 being sold to the City. It is the intention of the Master Developer to convey such 1. 75 acre site to a non-profit entity to develop a Community Administration and Arts Buildings, to be used by such non-profit to implement several community programs and services. (b) Temporary Ponding Basin.
(i) Designation of Temporary Ponding Basin Site. To facilitate development of the Park Amenity Site, Master Developer covenants to provide the City a temporary easement for the development of a temporary ponding basin. Such temporary ponding basin may be necessitated by the fact that the Park Amenity Site is planned to be served by future master plan facilities within Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) Drainage Area "SS", per the adopted FMFCD Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan (Exhibit "H"), and the storm drain pipelines have not yet been constructed to Basin "SS". The site of the temporary easement for the temporary ponding basin (the "Temporary Basin"), shall be located on a portion of the Master Developer Property that shall be designated by Master Developer, in consultations with the City, and shall be on a site that will support the Temporary Basin sized to handle the capacities required for the Park Amenity Site (the "City Required Capacities) and the development of such other portions of the Master Developer Property as the Master Developer shall determine (the "Master Developer's Required Capacities"). (ii) If the site of the temporary ponding basin provided by the Developer is not immediately adjacent to the Park Amenity, then the Developer shall dedicate the necessary easements to the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District for the required segments of master plan pipe to convey the storm water to the temporary ponding basin. The Developer shall either construct the FMFCD storm drain pipeline as set forth in the FMFCD master plan, or reimburse the City its actual costs for construction of the pipeline.
(iii) Development of Temporary Ponding Basin Use. If Master Developer requires development of the Temporary Basin before there is a need to support the City Required Capacities, it shall design, develop and maintain the Temporary Basin at the designated site, including such portion of the Master Developer's Required Capacities as it may determine and which it may add to from time to time. When the City Required Capacities are required, the City shall design, develop the Temporary Basin, or develop additional capacities to the then existing Temporary Basin, necessary to support the City Required Capacities. Before commencing its development or expansion of the Temporary Basin, the City shall also consult with the Master Developer to determine whether Master Developer desires to coordinate to have any portions of the Master Developer's Required Capacities concurrently designed and developed with the City Required Capacities and City shall include such elements of the Master Developer's Required Capacities in its design and development activities. In that event, Master Developer shall reimburse the City a prorated portion of the costs of the design and development of the Temporary Basin conducted by or on behalf of the City, based on the relative percentages of the City Required Capacities and the portion of the Master Developer's Required Capacities that are included in such City activities. Master Developer shall also retain the right to further develop the Temporary Basin to 24 incorporate any further portions of the Master Developer's Required Capacities that it may require from time to time, which shall be designed and developed at its sole cost and expense.
(iv) Maintenance of Temporary Ponding Basin. Until such time as the City constructs the City Required Capacities, Master Developer shall maintain any Temporary Ponding Basin that it initially develops. After City constructs the City Required Capacities, it shall undertake maintenance of the Temporary Ponding Basin.
Master Developer shall, on an annual basis, reimburse City for a portion of the maintenance costs reasonably documented by the City, based on the relative percentages of the City Required Capacities and the portion of the Master Developer's Required Capacities that are then incorporated into the Temporary Ponding Basin. (v) Decommissioning of Ponding Basin. At such time as the Temporary Basin is no longer needed due to the FMFCD development of required storm drain pipelines, or the availability of options to support the City's Required Capacities, Master Developer shall provide the City written notice of such circumstance.
City shall thereupon, within one year following receipt of such notice, backfill the Temporary Basin to 95% relative compaction, remove any perimeter fencing, and conduct a Phase I environmental survey (and any follow on evaluations or remediation recommended by such Phase I environmental survey) (the "Decommissioning Activities") after which time the temporary easement will be extinguished. Master Developer shall reimburse City for a portion of the Decommissioning Activities reasonably documented by the City, based on the relative percentages of the City Required Capacities and the portion of the Master Developer's Required Capacities that are then incorporated into the Temporary Ponding Basin. (vi) Termination of City Easement. The nonexclusive easement granted to the City to support its use of the Temporary Ponding Basin shall remain in full force and effect until the Decommissioning Activities are completed. (c) Development of the Park Amenity. Upon acquisition of the Park Amenity Site, the City shall commence and diligently pursue development of the Park Amenity subject to the availability of TCC Project Funds associated with the proposed Park Amenity and issued for its construction. The City will make its best effort to secure the match for the development of the Park Amenity, and will submit additional grant applications as available to pursue funding to complete the Park Amenity. The Park Amenity shall be completed not later than the period required to secure and retain TCC Project Funds for the Park Amenity project, but in all events the City shall expend all TCC Project Funds granted for the Park Amenity no later than five (5) years from the date of the grant execution of April 2, 2019. The Park Amenity shall incorporate such amenities as the City shall determine in its reasonable judgment, in cooperative consultation with the Master Developer and community residing in the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan boundaries. In addition, the City shall provide the Master Development the opportunity to have a representative participate in the selection committee that the City engages to conduct an evaluation of architects, engineers and/or planners, selected 25 pursuant to any RFQ process that the City conducts to facilitate any concept plans concerning the design of the Park Amenity.
(d) Park Access and Loop Road. The Park Access and Loop Road shall include construction of a local street that connects the Park Amenity Site to Church Avenue and a local street that loops around the perimeter of the Park Amenity Site in the following phases, as illustrated on attached Exhibit F-1, and whose specifications are detailed on attached Exhibit F-2. Master Developer shall dedicate Right of Way to the City sufficient to develop the Park Access and Loop Road at no cost to City. The Right of Way dedication shall be in addition to the Park Amenity Site and shall not be included in calculating the gross acreage of the Park Amenity Site. The first phase of the Park Amenity development shall include construction of a local street that connects the Park Amenity Site to Church Avenue (Initial Phase Park Access Road). A second phase of the Park Access Road (Second Phase Park Access Road) shall be developed by the City, at such time as the Master Developer has commenced construction of either the Phase 1 Church Avenue Commercial Site or the Phase II Residential Development. A third phase of the Park Access Road (Third Phase Park Access Road), which shall complete a loop around the Park Amenity, shall be developed by City at such time as the Master Developer has commenced construction of either the Phase Ill Jensen Avenue Commercial Site or the Phase IV Residential Development. The Initial Phase Park Access Road construction shall include installation of public utilities, including dry utilities to the site of the Park Amenity. In addition, all phases of the Park Access and Loop Road shall include installation of underground utilities detailed on Exhibit F-2 (including dry utilities), which are intended to provide capacities sufficient to provide services required for the Park Amenity Site and other elements of the intended development of the West Creek Village Project Area. Notwithstanding any of the above, this provision is contingent upon appropriation of funds by City, sufficient for City to complete all phases of the Park Access Road that are the obligation of the City. Should sufficient funds not be appropriated, this provision shall be unenforceable until such time as sufficient funds are appropriate and shall not constitute default or breach on the part of the City. However, the City will make its best efforts to diligently pursue funding in the interests of completing the Park Access Road. In addition, the City Manager shall, in each fiscal period that a phase of the Park Access Road is then intended to be developed, develop and provide to the Mayor, a proposed budget that includes a proposed appropriation of the funds to complete such phase of the Park Access Road. (e) Master Developer's Contribution to Park Amenity. Master Developer covenants that it shall contribute to the City, one-third of the Costs of Completing the Park Access and Loop Road inclusive of all phases, with the remaining two-thirds of the cost contributed by City. For purposes of this Agreement, the Costs of Completing the Park Access Road shall be the actual costs the City incurs in completing such improvements, including installation of wet and dry utilities. The contribution of Master Developer under this provision shall be paid to the City within ninety (90) days of each phase of the Park Access Road, after the City confirms in writing to Master Developer that all improvements detailed for that phase have been completed and accepted by the City, together with documentation reasonably required by the Master Developer to confirm the Costs of Completing the Park Access and Loop Road. Should State Center 26 Community College District (SCCCD) contribute funds toward the cost of completing the Park Access and Loop Road, Master Developer and City's contributions shall be reduced proportionately, with Master Developer receiving a reduction in contribution obligation of one-third of SCCCD's contribution and City receiving a reduction in contribution obligation of two-thirds of SCCCD's contribution. SCCCD's contribution shall be used to fund future phases of the Park Access and Loop Road.
(f) Wet and Dry Utilities. As described in Sections 6.1 (d) and 6.1 (e), the Park Access Road shall include certain wet and dry utilities. The facilities to be included in the City's capital improvement project, toward which the Master Developer shall contribute a one-third share of the costs, are as follows: water mains and sewer mains in each street, sized to serve the future development as described in the land use entitlements, including a sewer house branch and water service to the Park Amenity, sewer manholes, water valves and fire hydrants where appropriate; joint trench conduits for PG&E (electric and gas), AT&T telecommunications and cable, sized to serve the future development as described in the land use entitlements, and electrical conductors of sufficient size to serve the Park Amenity. Future obligations to be designed, constructed and paid for exclusively by the Master Developer are as follows: utility services for each lot (i.e. sewer house branches, water services, gas services, electrical and telecommunications), vaults, pedestals, transformers, cable, conductor, valves and any equipment not needed to serve the Park Amenity; and any system upgrades required by the utility companies as part of serving the new development's application for service. All costs associated with master planning for dry utility infrastructure shall be borne by the Master Developer.
(g) Water Supply Requirements. City further covenants and agrees that the improvements it is to conduct in aid of the Park Amenity and the Fresno City CollegeWest Fresno Satellite Project include development of the water supply facilities referenced as items 2 and 3 in the Memorandum dated July 12, 2019 from the City of Fresno Department of Public Utilities to the City of Fresno Development Department, which is included in the Conditions of Approval for Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM-17-06.
The City shall commence and diligently pursue development of such water supply facilities concurrent with the development of the Park Amenity as more particularly described in the Exactions Table attached as Exhibit D. The remaining Water Requirements set forth in the July 12, 2019 Department of Public Utilities Memorandum for Water Requirements remain the responsibility of Master Developer, except as modified by this Agreement (including Exhibit D) or to the extent such improvements are included within the work required for the Park Access Road improvements. (h) Sewer Requirements. City further covenants and agrees that the improvements it is to conduct in aid of the Park Amenity and the Fresno City CollegeWest Fresno Satellite Project include development of the sanitary sewer facilities set forth in the Memorandum dated July 12, 2019 from the City of Fresno Department of Public Utilities to the City of Fresno Development Department, which is included in the Conditions of Approval for Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM-17-06; except as modified by this Agreement (including Exhibit D), or to the extent such improvements are included within the work required for the Park Access Road improvements. 27 (i) City Construction of Perimeter Off-Sites. City further covenants and agrees that the improvements it is to conduct in aid of the Park Amenity and the Fresno City College-West Fresno Satellite Project include development of the following off-site improvements: (i) those detailed in Exhibit "A" to the Memorandum dated July 13, 2017 from the City of Fresno Department of Public Works to the City of Fresno Development Department included in the Conditions of Approval for Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM17-06; (ii) the Existing Plus Project mitigation/improvements and the Class 1 Trail along the south side of Church Avenue described in the Memorandum dated July 19, 2017 from the City of Fresno Department of Public Works to the City of Fresno Development Department included in the Conditions of Approval for Tentative Parcel map No. TPM17-06; (iii) the improvements allocated to the City on Exhibit D, (collectively, the "Perimeter Off-Sites"). Master Developer shall dedicate sufficient Right of Way necessary to construct the Perimeter Off-Sites to City, at no cost to City upon execution of this Agreement. Following receipt and appropriation of funds sufficient to construct the Perimeter Off-Sites, the City shall diligently pursue development of such Perimeter OffSites, except for those items that are specifically allocated to Master Developer on Exhibit D.
Section 6.2 Community Facilities District for Financing Master Developer Improvements. City acknowledges that Master Developer may desire to pursue a Community Facilities District or an Assessment District for the purpose of funding the construction of public improvements required as a condition of development of Master Developer's Property, or to incorporate additional public improvements to the Park Amenity as may be agreed upon by Master Developer and City. To facilitate the financing of such improvements, the Master Developer may desire to use of the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP) established by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA). City will apply to become a SCIP participating agency, on terms and conditions required by CSCDA, to facilitate Master Developer's access to and use of SCIP financing of such public improvements, provided that the City shall have no duty or obligation for payment of any financings obtained through the SCIP program.
Section 6.3 Not In Aid of Private Development. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the construction by the City of the improvements described in, Section 6.1, or Exhibit D, and the use of the TCC Project Funds in support of such improvements, are development of a public project to support the Park Amenity, the Fresno City CollegeWest Fresno Satellite Project and the Perimeter Off-Sites. Such work of improvement is separate from development of Master Developer's Property. No part of the work that is intended to be done in support of such separate public projects are intended by the Parties as work done in aid of the any elements of the development of the West Creek Village Project to be developed by the Master Developer. All components of the West Creek Village Project to be developed by the Master Developer constitute a private project development that is independent and separate from such public improvements.
Section 6.4 Letters of Support for Major Retailers. City will provide such letters of support as Master Developer shall reasonably request on a City approved template, to facilitate the marketing of the West Creek Village Project Area for development (or 28 leasing) by commercial enterprises to provide jobs and improve the extent of services and retail options available to the communities surrounding the West Creek Village Project Area.
Section 6.5 Other Governmental Permits. City agrees to cooperate with Master Developer in Master Developer's endeavors to obtain permits and approvals as may be required from other governmental or quasi-governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the West Creek Village Project Area or portions thereof (such as, for example, but not by way of limitation, public utilities or utility districts and agencies having jurisdiction over storm water transportation facilities, annexation and air quality issues) so long as the cooperation by the City will not require the City to incur any cost, liability or expense without adequate indemnity against or right of reimbursement therefore from Master Developer.
Section 6.6 Cooperation in Dealing with Legal Challenge. If any action or other proceeding is instituted by a third party or parties, other governmental entity or official challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement (collectively, a Third Party Action), the Parties shall cooperate in the defense of the Third Party Action to the maximum extent reasonably possible under the circumstances. The City shall timely take all actions which are necessary or required to uphold the validity and enforceability of this Agreement.

Any notice to Master Developer of a determination of noncompliance by Master Developer hereunder, or of a failure by Master Developer to perfect the areas of noncompliance hereunder, shall specify in reasonable detail the grounds therefor and all facts demonstrating such noncompliance or failure, so that Master Developer may address the issues raised in the notice of noncompliance or failure on a point-by-point basis in any hearing held by the City Council hereunder.
