In any case where, thirty (30) days after the Holder of any mortgage or deed of trust creating a lien or encumbrance upon the Site or any part thereof receives a notice from City of a default by the Developer in completion of construction of any portion of the Conforming Hotel under this Agreement, and such Holder has not notified the City that it has elected to cure the default or seek possession of the Site as set forth above, or if it has exercised the option but has defaulted thereunder and failed to timely cure such default, the City may purchase the mortgage or deed of trust from the Holder of the mortgage or deed of trust, by payment of any unpaid principal amount of, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Section 1. Right of Entry. Provided that all of the terms and conditions of Section 2 of this Agreement are fully satisfied, the City hereby grants to the Developer and its agents and contractors, the exclusive right to enter upon, in and below the City Property for the purpose of inspection and investigation (the “License”) and for no other purpose s without the prior written approval of the City.

to see that the City receives documentation, acceptable to the City, which sustains that the individual signing such endorsements is indeed authorized to do so by the insurance company. Also, the City has the right to demand, and to receive within a reasonable time period, copies of any insurance policies required under this Agreement.
In addition to any other remedies the City may have if Developer fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein required, the City may, at its sole option:
(a) Obtain such insurance and charge the Developer for the amount of the premium for such insurance; or
(b) Terminate this Agreement.

Economic Development Report: New Age Garden Grove ll, LLC – Project ‘Nickelodeon Resort Hotel’
INTRODUCTION
In 2013, Assembly Bill 562 (“AB 562”) added Section §53083 to the Government Code. This law requires cities and counties to post a report on their website before approving an economic development subsidy of $100,000 or more to a business entity on or after January 1, 2014. The law specifies that the report must be posted on the lo cal agency’ s website for the entire ter m of the subsidy.
In furtherance of the encouragement of economic development, Assembly Bill 806, adopted in 2016, amended Section §52201 to the Government Code. This law, like Section §53083, requires that public agencies who dispose of properties to create economic benefit for the community may do so, provided the legislative body approves the action and certain findings are completed.
The Legislature intended that both §53083 and §52201 promote economic development for local communities while also promoting transparency and accountability in economic development subsidies, like annual financial reporting and local fiscal decisions.
This report includes summary information for the proposed project and project public assistance .
The information is consistent as required by AB 562- §53083 and AB 806 - §52201 which include a fiscal review and estimated reuse value as necessary to determine the projected revenue generated to benefit the City as well as the cost as part of the economic development plan for the Nickelodeon Resort Hotel Development Project (“Project”). Therefore, this report is intended to address the requirements of Government Codes §53083 and §52201 and is being made available to the public prior to consideration of the proposed Agreement and authorization of the economic development subsidy.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In 2016, the City of Garden Grove entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) between the City and NewAge Garden Grove, LLC (“Developer”) for the development of approximately 3.72 acres of real property in the City. The ENA provided for the Developer to reduce site acreage, redesign the project, complete the environmental review of the Project, and determine the economic feasibility of the project. The Developer encountered a number of development constraints, including rising costs due to worldwide demand for construction materials and associated commodities, then complication due Covid pandemic related impacts . It concluded that the most feasible site for development is a 3.72-acre parcel of the original 10 acre anticipated development site. The 3.72-acre site is comprised of approximately 2.22 acres (“Agency Property”) being conveyed to the Developer pursuant to the Agency Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) and approximately 1.5 acres owned by the City (“City Property”) being conveyed to the Developer pursuant to the City DDA. The Agency Property and City Property are collectively referred to as the “Site” for this Report.
The proposed AAA Four Diamond Hotel Project is anticipated to include 500 guest suites with balconies; themed pool experience with lazy river; event space with a 600-person theater; a grand ballroom at 9,490 square feet; two meeting rooms at 4,194 square feet and 4,031 square feet; a variety of food and beverage opportunities to be placed throughout the hotel totaling 22,296 square 4 | P a g ePage 484 of 640

BENEFICIARIES - 1
The business entit y that would be a beneficiary of the Economic Development Subsidy is NewAge Garden Grove ll, LLC . (“Developer”) and Kam Sang Company, Inc. as the Developer’s Managing Partner. The company’s headquarters is located at 411 East Huntington Drive, Suite 305, Arcadia, CA 91006.
EFFECTIVE DATES AND SCHEDULE -2
The B-2 development project has been part of the City’s planning effort over the past 20 years. Over time the size of the project area and scope of development has evolved and resulted in the proposed Nickelodeon Resort Hotel Project on approximately a 3.72-acre site. The resort project is designed to accommodate a AAA Four Diamond Hotel as compared to the previous projects that included designs and accommodations of a standard 2-star hotel project. The current DDA outlines a transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenue sharing agreement that assume project commencement and development in mid-year 2023 and will be ready for occupancy in 2026 . The DDA is anticipated to commence the year of Project opening in 2026 and will be in place for up to thirty (30) years, at which time the DDA will end.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUBSIDY DESCRIPTION – 3
The proposed Economic Development assistance is based solely on the completion of the Nickelodeon Resort Hotel on a site that is currently vacant and undeveloped. The assistance of public revenues for the project is based on those tax revenues not currently being generated or available to the City and will materialize only after the completion of the Nickelodeon Resort Hotel Project.
It is important to note that the proposed public assistance is based strictly on two key components:
1) project completion, and 2) project generated transient occupancy tax (TOT) collected by the City.
It is important to note , the TOT revenue source , and other revenue sources such as sales tax and property tax, are NOT currently being generated from the Site, which has been vacant for over a decade.
All revenue sharing assistance amounts will be solely generated by Site development. If approved, the terms for sharing the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) generated public revenue is documented in the DDA and include a covenant that address the detail of the public revenue sharing terms. 7 | P a g e
CITY OF GARDEN GROVE
Economic Development Report: New Age Garden Grove ll, LLC – Project ‘Nickelodeon Resort Hotel’ The Developer has proposed, that in order to make the Development feasible and a reality, the City provide a public revenue sharing program based on TOT tax generation . Generally, tax sharing programs allow public agencies to reinvest a portion of public revenues generated from Site development into an identified project that requires assistance. Public reinvestment and assistance provide for a sustainable and feasible new community asset, such as the resort hotel proposed in the City. The Developer has identified a public revenue sharing amount of up to a maximum of $93 million which will account for a feasible development.
Over thirty (30) years the Project is estimated to generate in Transient Occupancy Tax, Sales Tax, Measure O Tax, and Project Property T ax of approximately $329.4 million. This public revenue would not be otherwise generated if the Nickelodeon Resort Hotel Project is not developed.
In order for the Developer to achieve a financially feasible project, including Developer equity and third (3
rd) party financing, the Project requires a public revenue sharing agreement that allows up to a maximum of $93 million in project assistance over a term not to exceed thirty (30) years.
A summary of Project total public revenue generated, proposed public assistance to the Project, and Project net public revenue generated (approximately $236.4 million retained by the City) is provided in Table 1 below.

CITY OF GARDEN GROVE
Economic Development Report: New Age Garden Grove ll, LLC – Project ‘Nickelodeon Resort Hotel’ STATEMENT OF PUBLIC PURPOSES -4
The loss of redevelopment has left the City of Garden Grove, as well as all cities statewide, with a loss of local resources to encourage economic development and maintain City services. The California Legislature and Governor Brown made the decision to terminate redevelopment which removed the single largest economic tool available to local agencies. Following the decision to terminate statewide redevelopment, the Governor and Legislature recognized the necessity of cities, counties and the State to encourage employment, retain jobs and companies in California.
With the adoption of Assembly Bill 562 in 2013, and codified as California Government Code Section §53083, the California Legislature recognized the authority of local officials to use their regulatory powers, direct spending, and tax policies to influence where, when, and how the private sector invests capital and improves real property.
The City has concluded that the Project would serve as a continued catalyst for the City hotel corridor and provide a significant net positive financial impact on the entire local economy. It is estimated that the total permanent direct, indirect and induced economic output of the Project during the 30-year public assistance program will provide approximately $3.75 billion in direct and indirect project generated financial contribution to the City and region. Additionally, the City and region will realize an estimated 2,800 jobs.
The adopted Planned Unit Development and the DDA provide a comprehensive set of plans, design guidelines, regulatory standards, and administrative and implementation programs which act as a regulatory ‘bridge’ between the City of Garden Grove’s General Plan and project level development within the DDA.
The Nickelodeon Resort Hotel Project design guidelines within the DDA provide for and requires a high-quality AAA Four Diamond Resort Hotel to be constructed on the identified Site. The resort will contain 500 guest suites with balconies, themed pool experience with lazy river, 600-person theater, grand ballroom, meeting rooms, variety of food and beverage opportunities, themed amenities, 7,000-square foot arcade, and a spa and fitness center.
The City has concluded that the Development and its adjacency to the Disneyland resort and hotels that welcomes over 17 million visitors a year, the Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark Resort hotel and adjacency to two (2) major Freeways, I-5 and 22, will serve as a catalyst for future City developments that will continue to provide a net positive impact on the local economy. The City estimates that the total estimated direct economic output of the Project will exceed $1.75 billion within City limits over the 30-year term. These financial amounts will be produced through expenditures at the Resort and other spin-off sales within the City limits during the public assistance agreement. 9 | P a g e

$8,774,454
The DDA also provides that City and Developer will enter a covenant that provides public assistance payments that are derived from TOT generated by the AAA Four Diamond Resort Hotel Project to the Developer. The sharing of a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) generated by the resort hotel is regarded as public assistance under both Government Code §53083 and §52201.
The terms of the DDA and public assistance formula is based on an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) collected and remitted to the City during the 30-year operating period. The public assistance is based on the applicable TOT rate and City TOT collection, which will vary from year to year of the Project subject to hotel occupancy and TOT rate charged by the City.
The DDA and covenant provides for a public assistance amount of up to $93 million. The assistance is limited to TOT collected from the resort hotel over 30 years. The public assistance amount could be achieved in less than 30 years. Conversely, if the 30-year tax sharing term expires and the $93 million has not been achieved by the project, the amount of public assistance will be less than the projected $93 million.
Based on the land costs incurred by the City and the amount of public assistance in the form of TOT sharing covenant in the DDA, the Developer is expected to receive up to $103 million in public assistance over a 30-year period. Based upon the net present value (NPV) of the public assistance provided to the Developer for the Project, the land contribution and TOT public assistance has an approximate NPV of $56.3 million. The public assistance NPV value of $56.3 million is representative of the estimated assistance in today’s values.
The City does not anticipate that it will incur any loans, interest, or bonds associated with the DDA and public assistance.
2b)
For the sale of property, the estimated value of the interest to be conveyed, determined at the highest and best uses permitted under the general plan or zoning.
In July 2022, the City commissioned multiple appraisals by RP Laurain & Associates (RPLA). RPLA was tasked to assist the City in estimating the value for the interest to be conveyed pursuant to the DDA and Government Code §53083 and §52201. Based on the information provided by RPLA, the estimated Site value is $10.6 million.
As noted above in 2a, the Developer is purchasing the 3.72-acre development site for $920,000.
Therefore the amount of net value of the interest being conveyed is the difference between $10.6 million and the $920,000. The interest being conveyed to the Developer is $9.7 million. The DDA, as 14 | P a g e
CITY OF GARDEN GROVE
Economic Development Report: New Age Garden Grove ll, LLC – Project ‘Nickelodeon Resort Hotel’ part of the public assistance is conveying the development Site for approximately 8.7% of the value of the site as estimated through the valuations presented by RPLA. 2c)
For the sale of property, the estimated value of the interest to be conveyed, determined by the use and with the conditions, covenants, and development costs required by the sale. The purchase price to be made as part of the agreement. If the sale price is less than the fair market value of the interest to be conveyed, determined at the highest and best use, then the city, county, or city and county shall provide as part of the summary an explanation of the reasons for the difference.
The DDA and related covenants require that the Developer construct a AAA Four Diamond Hotel, full service, N ickelodeon Resort Hotel that is a significantly higher quality project than was initially envisioned in the B- 2 Planned Unit Development area and original DDA. The cost differential between the AAA Four Diamond Resort Hotel and a standard 2-star hotel, with the amenities addressed in the Nickelodeon DDA, is expected to have total project costs that are a minimum of double the cost to two-thirds more to provide the described resort hotel and associated amenities.
The full service AAA Four Diamond Nickelodeon Resort Hotel as defined in the DDA will include 500 upscale guest suites with balconies, themed pool experience with lazy river, a 600-person maximum occupancy theater, a grand ballroom, meeting rooms, a variety of food and beverage opportunities to be placed throughout the hotel, themed amenities, game arcade, and a spa and fitness center. The project is estimated to welcome approximately 750,000 hotel patrons and resort guests per year.
The DDA anticipates that the site will be transferred to the Developer at $920,000 which i s approximately 8.7% of the fair market value of the Site based upon RPLA appraisals, which indicate an estimated fair market of $10.6 million.
The DDA terms and covenants require that the Developer deliver a AAA Four Diamond Resort Hotel quality project. The fair market value for the land cannot be realized due to the development requirements and cost of construction. Tierra West Advisors has estimated that the AAA Four Diamond full-service Resort Hotel project costs required in the DDA, as compared to a standard 2 - star limited service hotel, is approximately 45% to 65% more in development costs. The development costs are attributable to the finishes provided in lobby, individual rooms, meeting areas, water park features, resort attractions, and provisions required to provide a AAA Four Diamond Resort.
The following is a brief comparison between the estimated cost to construct the AAA Four Diamond Nickelodeon Resort Hotel and a 2-star limited-service standard hotel as determined through Tierra West Advisors’ research.

An explanation of why the sale of the property will assist in the creation of economic opportunity, with reference to all supporting facts and materials relied upon in making this explanation.
The Site has been assembled over the past 2 decades and during the time the parcels have been vacant and not generating any form of revenue. The City has actively pursued development of these parcels. However, impediments, such as Developer failure to proceed, recession , and loss of Redevelopment have made the development of these parcels infeasible. Following the decision to terminate Redevelopment Agencies, the Legislature recognized the necessity of cities, counties and the State to encourage employment, and retain jobs and companies in California.
The adoption of Government Code Sections §53083 and §52201 by the California Legislature recognized the authority of local officials to use their regulatory powers, direct spending, and tax policies to influence where, when, and how the private sector invests capital and improves real property.
The City has concluded that the Project would serve as a continued catalyst for the City hotel corridor and provide a significant net positive financial impact on the entire local economy. It is estimated that the total permanent direct, indirect and induced economic output of the Project during the 30- year public assistance program will provide approximately $1.75 billion of expenditures in the City and another $2 billion in project generated indirect financial contribution to the region. Additionally, the City and region will realize an estimated 2,800 jobs. 16 | P a g e

CITY OF GARDEN GROVE
Economic Development Report: New Age Garden Grove ll, LLC – Project ‘Nickelodeon Resort Hotel’ For the purposes of this reuse analysis, Tierra West Advisors has assumed that the Developer, based on its strong successful track record in the hotel industry and other special use developments, will be successful in maintaining and managing project and development costs at $266.4 million. Total project costs with land at fair market value and construction is estimated at $277 million.
HTL developed a detailed operating pro forma for the Nickelodeon Resort Hotel to provide and independent review of the operations of the resort over a 10-year period. The cash flow analysis was designed to compare the information provided by the Developer as well as to determine a value of the resort project based on net cash flow derived from the project to determine Project value . Net cash flow used to determine values of operating business is traditionally based on earnings before interest, tax and amortization (EBITA).
The Developer and HTL, as is typical of most financial operating pro forma analyses developed by investors, advisors, banks and other financial institutions, assumes that a business will require a few years for ramp up of the operation to allow for stabilization of the operations of the business. HTL developed its standard 10 year operating pro forma that calculated the present value, applying a 13% discount rate and assumed sale of the project in the 10th year (standard financial assumption applied by investors, developers, lending institutions and consultants to determine value and calculate reuse value). The operating pro forma resulted in a present value of $162.3 million of net receipts.
As noted, total development costs of the Resort and fair market value of the land involved is projected to be $277 million. The operating pro formas prepared by HTL and the Developer indicate that the total present value of net operating cash flow, EBITA, over a 10-year analyses provides $162.3 million in net receipts.
The differential between the total cost of development of $265.3 (exclud es land value and reduced contingencies) less the present value of net cash flow over 10 years of operations of $162.3 million is the development gap or need for public assistance. The difference between total project costs and net cash flow from operations is approximately $103 million. $265,300,000

CITY OF GARDEN GROVE
Economic Development Report: New Age Garden Grove ll, LLC – Project ‘Nickelodeon Resort Hotel’ To develop the Nickelodeon Resort Hotel development, the Project must be financially feasible. The Project development costs less the present value of the Project in the 10 th year, indicates that the
Project is not feasible without public assistance . The financial shortfall of $103 million, as demonstrated in the chart above, must be addressed to make the project a reality.
The City and Developer have agreed to address the Project financial shortfall in the terms of the DDA.
The DDA provides that the project cost shortfall be addressed through 2 primary public economic development assistance components:
1) provide the land required to develop the resort project at less than fair market value of $10.6 million, but at a fair reuse value of $920,000 to allow for project feasibility and financeability; and,
2) provide public assistance based on the operation of the hotel through a TOT sharing agreement that would provide up to $93 million dollars over a term not to exceed 30 years.
The public assistance in the form of offering the site at its fair reuse value based on the covenants and conditions and development costs and the proposed TOT public assistance revenue sharing program provide the necessary financial support to make the Nickelodeon Resort Hotel a feasible project and future reality.

9 Funding
Secured initial funding commitment from the County of
Orange in the amount of $11.3M (A ttachmen t No. 1)
In furthering implementation of the CSAPH , staff has been actively identifying possibl e sites within the City’s homeless shelter overlay zone for development of a navigation center.
DISCUSSIO N
In recent months, efforts to identify a suitable property for a future navigation center has been significantl y challenged due to limited real estate inventory. After extensive brokerage engagement, an off-market property located at 13871 West Street and
within the City’s homeless shelter overlay zone was identified. The property sits on a
0.41 acre or approximately 18,166 square foot lot. It is developed with two adjoining industrial structures totaling 11,363 square feet. The primary buildin g is 9,653 square feet and recently rehabilitated. An adjacent smaller buildin g is 1,774 square feet. Per the Assessor’s mapping, the Assessor Parcel Number is 100-591-08.
Staff received Council direction to proceed with negotiations towards property acquisitio n of 13871 West Street at the August 9, 2022 meeting. To that end, property acquisitio n negotiations initiated with Ashwil l Associates, on behalf of the property owner (West St Investments LLC). The terms of the Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions (A ttachmen t No. 2) outlines the negotiated purchase price of $5,600,000. This purchase price has been confirmed by a Fair Market Value appraisal prepared by Vanguard Realty Advisors. The escrow period is anticipated to be approximately six (6) months upon execution date of the Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions. Staff will be working through a number of due diligenc e items including : further site assessment, final schematic design, project scope development, architectural plans, along with finalizin g funding commitments with the cities of Fountain Valley and Westminster.
Provided is a general overview of additional action items to be completed:
Project Scope: Further refinement of the Project Scope for the Central Cities Navigation Center will be undertaken in the next 60 days. A preliminary schematic plan has been developed. (A ttachmen t No. 3) In concept, the proposed navigation center is anticipated to support 80-100 individual s experiencing homelessness within the participating Central SPA cities. The navigation center will be a referral-only based facility with managed and controlled (transportation) access in and out.
Service Provider: A formal Request for Proposals (RFP) will be released in mid- S
eptember 2022 for solicitatio n of a service provider for the Central Cities Navigation Center operations. Selection of a preferred service provider for the Navigation Center prior to construction is recommended.
Professional Architectural and Engineering Plans: Given priority of advancing the navigation center is in the best interest of public, health and safety, initiating work associated with design development plans and construction documents is critical to project delivery. Borders Architect brings extensive experience in providing architectural services for municipalities , and has successfull y completed several navigation center projects includin g delivery of design development and construction documents for cities of Costa Mesa (Costa Mesa Bridge Shelter/70-bed site), Fullerton (Fullerto n Navigation Center/90-bed site) and Santa Ana (Carnegie Navigation Center/200-bed site). It is recommended that City Council find that it is in the best interest of the City to waive the bidding requirements per GGM C 2.50.060.G and approve an award of contract to Borders Architects in the amount of $304,000 to complete the design development plans and construction documents for Central Cities Navigation Center. (A ttachmen t No. 4)
Project Funding: Concurrently with funding commitment by the County of Orange, staff is finalizin g terms to the Tri-Cities MOU Memorandum of Understanding (MOU ) with the cities of Fountain Valley and Westminster for operation and funding of the Central Cities Navigation Center.
In closing, it is recommended that the City Council approve the Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions with West St Investment LLC for acquisitio n of 13871 West Street by the City in the amount of $5,600,000, and further direct staff to advance implementation of the Central Cities Navigation Center project.
FINANCIA L IMPAC T
Funds have been budgeted in the Biennial Budget for FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022- 2023 for the Navigation Center project.
RECOMMENDATIO N
It is recommended that the City Council :
Adopt a Resolution to authorize approval and execution of the Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions with West St Investment LLC for acquisitio n of 13871 West Street by the City in the amount of $5,600,000, and an amount of $50,000 for escrow, title and broker related costs; (A ttachmen t No. 5) Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Borders Architect in the amount of $304,000, and make minor modification s thereto as needed; and,

RE: Homeless Navigation Center
Dear Mr. Stiles:
This letter is to affirm my commitment to bring before my Board of Supervisors (Board), a recommendation to contribute a one-time allocation of $5.3 million with an annual contribution of $625,000, for ten years, to support a regional navigation center located in the City of Garden Grove.
Per our discussion, the navigation center , with capacity to serve up to 100 individuals, will be used to support the needs of Garden Grove, Fountain Valley and Westminster, with an agreement in place for the cities to jointly fund the remaining acquisition, tenant improvements and the operating costs. We have also discussed the requirement for the navigation center to operate in compliance with the County’s Standards of Care.
Once the City has a plan for site co ntrol, please contact me to discuss next steps, which will involve the negotiation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County. I want to ensure that I don’t get ahead of you or the other cities as you discuss the matter with your councils. Th e MOU will require approval by each city then the Board of Supervisors.
Throughout this process, Doug Becht, Director of Care Coordination, and I are available to support you.
We look forward to this collaboration. Please do not hesitate to contact me or D oug with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Frank Kim
