STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Kevin H. Snyder, Dir. Of Community Development Subject: Request for a Certificate of Public Convenience or Necessity determination for a Type 20 Liquor License for a new convenience market located at 40 -695 Jefferson Street, Indio, CA 92201 (Assessor’s Parcel Number 607-260-056)

RECOMMENDATION:

Issue a Cert ificate of Public Convenience or Necessity determination (City Case No. 23 -03-30) to authorize the sale of beer and wine for consumption off the premises identified as a Type 20 Liquor License issued by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Contr ol (ABC) for a new convenience market located at 40-695 Jefferson Street, Indio, CA 92201 (Assessor’s Parcel Number 607-260-056) located at the southwest corner of Varner Road and Jefferson Street.

SUMMARY:

On April 22, 2023, Sandeep Chandi, Sunny & Karan, LLC., filed an application with the Community Development Department requesting issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience or Necessity for Sunny & Karan, LLC. for a Type 20 Liquor License from ABC to authorize the sale of beer and wine for consumption off the premises at 40 -695 Jefferson Street, Indio, CA 92201 (Assessor’s Parcel Number 607 -260-056). Pursuant to Section 6.04.08 of the Unified Development Code, the City Council, based on a determination by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, must make a determination if the sale of alcohol at the subject location a public convenience and/or necessity.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The Applicant initiated an application on January 25, 2023 with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for a Type 20 Liquor License to authorize “the sale of beer and wine for consumption off the premises where sold” at a new convenience market in the City of Indio located at 40-695 Jeffer son Street, Indio, CA 92201 (Assessor’s Parcel Number 607 -260-056) that will be operated as a Circle K. On February 16, 2023, ABC determined that the subject property was within a geographical area defined as an area of “undue concentration” meaning that the number of licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages exceeds the amount that is permitted by ABC within Census Tract 494. Currently, the Census Tract in which the convenience market is located in is authorized for one (1) off-sale license. In such case, ABC is required to deny an application for a license if the issuance of a license would result in or add to an “undue concentration” of licenses.

However, California state law allows ABC to issue a license if the legislative body of the area in which the the serves request license applicant’s determines that public located are premises the convenience or necessity.

ANALYSIS

The subject property is currently designated with a Regional Commercial (RC) land use designation pursuant to the 2040 Genera l Plan adopted on September 18, 2019 and has a current zoning designation Development Code Unified adopted per the Commercial Regional of (RC) . The convenience market is located within the boundaries of the Chandi Square development that previously obtaine d conditional use permit and design review approval from the Indio Planning Commission on December 8, 2021. Chandi Square was approved for a 5,500 square foot convenience market and 10 pump fueling station, a 2,600 square foot square foot high -turnover restaurant and a 2,400 square foot fast food restaurant with drive -through and a 3,279 square foot carwash tunnel.

Chandi Square was approved under the provisions of the City’s previous zoning regulations that identified a convenience market as a conditional land use within the prior Regional Commercial zoning designation.

As previously noted, the California Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control has identified that the project site is in an area of “undue concentration”. The ABC threshold for "undue c oncentration" of off-sale retail licenses in Census Tract No. 494 is one (1) off-sale license. There is currently one (1) retail establishment within Census Tract No. 494 that has an active ABC issued off -sale alcohol license as specified in Table 1:

POLICE DEPARTMENT BACKGROUND CHECK INVESTIGATION

Community Development staff submitted the PCN application to the Indio Police Department, the Riverside County Fire Department, Indio Public Works, and the Indio Water Authority. Community Development Staff only received comments from the Indio Police Department. The Indio Police Department (IPD) conducted a review of the application and a background investigation of S andeep Chandi, passed and completed Chandi Sandeep that reported IPD Applicant). (the the Mr. background check as of April 13, 2023. Therefore, IPD is not recommending any specific conditions of approval associated with this request and did not specify any law enforcement related concerns for it. Furthermore, IPD, in partnership with ABC, is empowered to enforce the laws related to the sale of alcohol from the proposed establishment.

PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY (PCN) DETERMINATION

Findings:

Pursuant to Section 6.04.08, Subsection C, of the Unified Development Code the City Council shall issue a decision approving, conditionally approving, or denying the Certificate of Public Convenience or Necessity following the close of the required public hearing. In reaching its decision, the City Council shall make findings and shall consider the following factors:

I.The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code.

The subject property has a current General Plan 2040 land use desig nation of Regional Commercial (RC) and a current Unified Development Code zoning designation of Regional Commercial (RC). The Unified Development Code specifies that a convenience market in the RC zoning designation is a Conditional Use. Therefore, the Pro ject is consistent with the City’s General Plan 2040 and all applicable general plan policies as well as with the Unified Development Code zoning designation.

II.The proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition, and character of adjacent land uses.

The subject property is adjacent to vacant properties. The convenience market is located within the boundaries of the Chandi Square development that previously obtained conditional use permit and design review approval from the Indio Planning Commissi on. The project obtained approval on December 8, 2021 for a 5,500 square foot convenience market and 10 pump fueling station, a 2,600 square foot high-turnover restaurant and a 2,400 square foot fast food restaurant with drive -through

AGENDA ITEM #12.1
Request for a Certificate of Public Convenience or Necessity determinati... Page 280 of 348 and a 3,279 square fo ot carwash tunnel. Chandi Square was approved under the provisions of the City’s previous zoning regulations that identified a convenience market as a conditional land use within the then Regional Commercial zoning designation. The surrounding vacant prope rties are zoned Regional Commercial (RC) and Light Industrial (IL), which permit similar commercial uses for any potential future development. Therefore, the proposed use is not likely to affect the nature, condition, and character of adjacent land uses due to the lack of development in the area.

III.The proposed use would not have an adverse effect on adjacent land uses.

The convenience market is located within the boundaries of the Chandi Square development that previously obtained conditional use permit and design review approval from the Indio Planning Commission. The project obtained approval on December 8, 2021 for a 5,500 square foot convenience market and 10 pump fueling station, 2,600 square foot high -turnover restaurant and a 2,400 square foot fast food restaurant with drive -through and a 3,279 square foot carwash tunnel.

Chandi Square was approved under the provis ions of the City’s previous zoning regulations that identified a convenience market as a conditional land use within the then Regional Commercial zoning designation. Pursuant to the Unified Development Code, the vacant properties to the north, south, and east are zoned Regional Commercial (RC). The property to the west is zoned Light Industrial (IL).

Section 2.04.01 of the Unified Development Code specifies that future development within the Regional Commercial zoned properties may consist of retail, commercial, service, entertainment, and other regional and visitor serving amenities. In addition, the Light Industrial zoned properties provide for offices, business and industrial parks, research and development, warehouses, distribution centers, light manufac turing, and supportive commercial uses. Compliance with the applicable standards of the proposed convenience store and fueling station will prevent the use from being detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed use is therefore not likely to have an adverse effect on adjacent land uses and allows for potential similar uses.

IV.The proposed use would not result in an excessive number of similar establishments in close proximity.

Census Tract 494 is authorized for one (1) off-sale license within a 3.6-mile radius. Census Tract 494 has increased in total population from 2,813 persons in 2010 to 2,849 persons in 2020 (United States Census Bureau, 2020). The approval of the liquor license would result in a total of two (2) off -sale liquor licenses within the census tract. The proposed use is surrounded by vacant land. Therefore, the proposed use would likely not result in an excessive number of similar establishments wit hin a close proximity in Census Tract 494 due to the increasing population within the area and the limited amount of active liquor licenses.

Conclusion:

Based on the preceding information provided herein, a review of the site and floor plans for the business, and successful completion of the Indio Police Department’s application review and background check, staff recommends that the Indio City Council approve (Case File No. 23 -03-30) the request to issue a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessit y for a Type 20 Liquor License for the convenience market located at 40 -695 Jefferson Street, Indio, CA 92201 (Assessor’s Parcel Number 607-260-056) located at the southwest corner of Varner Road and Jefferson Street.

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Kevin H. Snyder, Dir. Of Community Development Subject: Resolution No. 10353, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Indio, California, approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 38630 (Case File No. 2023 -01- 01) for the ABC Recovery Project pursuant to Chapter 156 (Subdivision Regulations) of the Indio Municipal Code on certain real properties located south of Indio Boul evard, east of Sun Gold Street, west of Palm Street, and north of Luce Drive and Valencia Drive and adopting CEQA findings pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 that no further environmental review is required for the Project.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Resolution No.10353, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Indio, California, approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 38630 (Case File No. 2023-01-01) for the ABC Recovery Project pursuant to Chapter 156 (Subdivision Regulations) of the Indio Munici pal Code on certain real properties located south of Indio Boulevard, east of Sun Gold Street, west of Palm Street, and north of Luce Drive and Valencia Drive and adopting CEQA findings pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 that no further environmental review is required for the Project.

SUMMARY:

This is a tentative map approval for the ABC Recovery Project (“Project”). The Project will be subdividing Assessor's Parcel Map 611 -023-043 into two parcels located south of Indio Boulevard, east of Sun Gold Street, west of Palm Street, and north of Luce Drive and Valencia Drive.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Findings

The Subdivision Map Act requires that, prior to any map approval, the City find that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement of any tentative map o r a parcel map is consistent with the general plan. (Government Code Sections 66473.5). The Findings and Conclusion Section addresses the consistency of the proposed parcel division with the Subdivision Map Act.

The Indio Municipal Code provides that the City Council, make the necessary findings as required by the Subdivision Map Act. California Government Code Section 66474 sets forth the findings required for tentative maps that are analyzed below pertaining to the proposed tentative parcel map:

AGENDA ITEM #12.2
Resolution No. 10353 , approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 38630 (Case Fi... Page 297 of 348 I.The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and specific plans in that:

Incorporating the facts set forth above, the proposed parcel subdivision will be in conformance with the General Plan land use designation of the Connected Neighborhood (CN) land use designation, and with the policies and specific actions as described above. The proposed project is not within a specific plan area. Therefore, the proposed parcel subdivision, including any design and improvements, are consistent with the applicable general and specific plans.

II.The site is physically suitable for the type of development in that:

The Project Site is physically suitable for the type of development in keeping with the requirements of the general development standards of the Indio Municipal Code, and General Plan 2040. Adequate access and infrastructure exist or will be provided. Furthermore, the site has no topographical constraints. Therefore, it can be determined that the proposed subdivision is physically suitable for the site.

III.The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development in that:

The Project Site has both a land use designation and a zoning designation of CN. The CN designation calls for a range of intensities of housing units within a walkable neighborhood setting and for small - scale non -residential uses may be incorporated in the form of live -work units and corner shops, primarily along mixed-use corridors at the edges of the centers. The Project is proposing an expansion under the State of California Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program to include 71,308 square feet of improvements including offices, meeting room, dining and kitchen facility, operations building, gym, and men and women’s residence facilities on approximately 5.60 acres of a 10.14 acre parcel. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan a nd the City of Indio Unified Development code. The Project will be a suitable development in keeping with the requirements of the general development standards of the Indio Municipal Code and the General Plan 2040.

Therefore, the site of the proposed subdivision contemplated under Tentative Parcel Mas No. 38630 and will be physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

IV.The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat in that:

The Project Site is surrounded by heavily disturbed lands and there is no presence of fish or wildlife or their habitat on this property. There are no watercourses, streams, or w etlands present on the property. The Project is therefore not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and within the City and provides no fish or significant wildlife habitat.

V.The design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likel y to cause serious public health problems in that:

The proposed design of the subdivision or type of improvements contemplated by the proposed parcel subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health problems, as adequate sewer and water systems will be available to the two resultant parcels. The parcels have the necessary infrastructure to adequately serve the proposed development and all proposed uses as allowed by the zoning ordinances that regulate the Project Site.

AGENDA ITEM #12.2
Resolution No. 10353 , approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 38630 (Case Fi... Page 298 of 348 VI.The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision in that:

The design or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. Public utilities for electricity, water, sewer, telecommunications, and gas service have all been assessed for availability. The access points to Project have been reviewed and approved by the Fire and Public Works Departments as part of the overall approval of the Project. There are no known public easements traversing the subject site that would be adversely affected by the Project. Therefore, the parcel subdivision will not conflict with easements acquired or required by the public at large, for access through or use of the property.

Conclusion

Based on the preceding information provided herein, staff concludes that the findings set forth in Government Code Section 66474 can affirmatively be made for the proposed Tentative Parcel Map No. 38630 (Case File No. 2023-01-01). The proposed parcel subdivision is consistent with the General Plan as it meets the CN land use designation and the CN zoning designation. The parcel subdivision will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed parcel subdivision as all such improvements will be constructed to be adequate for the Project, and it will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitat. The required conditions of approval ensure the Project from being detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare and actually protect and promote the public health, safety, and welfare, and the conditions prevent material injury to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

CEQA Determinations

CEQA Guidelines Section 15315

Staff has determined that no further environmental documentation is required because the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 - Division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are required, all services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available, the parcel was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous 2 years, and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent.

The proposed map is consistent with applicable general and zoning plans in that the Project is proposing to develop 71,308 square feet of improvements including offices, meeting room, dining and kitchen facility, operations building, gym, and men’s and women’s residence facilities on approximately 5.60 acres of a 10.14 -acre parcel and is consistent with the General Plan 2040 and the City of Indio Unified Development Code.

c. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and zoning plans in that the proposed parcel subdivision will be in conformance with the General Plan land use designation of the CN land use designation, and with the policies and specific actions in the Unified Development Code and General Plan 2040.

d. The site is physically suitable for the type of development in that adequate access and infrastructure exist or will be provided. Furthermore, the site has no topographical constraints.

e. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development in that the CN designation calls for a range of intensities of housing units within a walkable neighborhood setting and for small -scale non-residential uses may be incorporated in the form of live- work units and corner shops, primarily along mixed -use corridors at the edges of the centers and t he Project is proposing to 71,308 square feet of improvements including offices, meeting room, dining and kitchen facility, operations building, gym, and men and women’s residence facilities and is consistent with the General Plan 2040 and the Unified Development Code.

f. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat in that the Project Site is surrounded by heavily disturbed lands and there is no presence of fish or wildlife or their

The Project is therefore not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and within the City and provides no fish or significant wildlife habitat.

g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements proposed are not likely to cause serious public health problems in that adequate sewer and water systems will be available to the two resultant parcels. The parcels have the necessary infrastructure to adequately serve the proposed 71,308 square feet of improvements including offices, meeting room, dining and kitchen facility, operations building, gym, and men’s and women’s residence facilities and all proposed uses as allowed by the zoning ordinances that regulate the Project Site.

h. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision in that p ublic utilities for electricity, water, sewer, telecommunications, and gas service have all been assessed for availability. There are no known public easements traversing the subject site that would be adversely affected by the Project. Therefore, the parcel subdivision will not conflict with easements acquired or required by the public at large, for access through or use of the property.

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Glendale Berdan, Accountant
Subject: Resolution No. 10354 - Amended and Restated Resolution approving the City's continued participation in the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program of the California Statewide Communities Development Authority.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 10354 amending and restating the City's participation in the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program of the California Statewide Communities Development Authority

SUMMARY:

The Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP) provides a financing mechanism for development projects through low -cost long-term bond financing of required development fees and certain public infrastructure construction costs. The program is sponsored by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA). The City originally agreed to allow local developers the ability to participate in the program in 2017. Since that time, the program has been expanded to allow additional financing structures that first must be ratified the City Council before being made available to the development community. The proposed Amended and Restated Resolution reaffirms the City's participation in SCIP, giving the development community expanded options for financing certain development costs.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

CSCDA is a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties. 530 cities, counties and special districts throughout Californ ia are members of CSCDA, including the City of Indio. SCIP was instituted by CSCDA in 2002 to allow owners of property in participating cities and counties to finance the development impact fees that would be payable by property owners upon receiving devel opment entitlements or building permits through pooled special assessment district programs. SCIP was expanded to include financing of public capital improvements directly in addition to just fees, and has now been further expanded to include community facilities districts (CFD), as provided for in the proposed Amended and Restated Resolution. Since its inception, SCIP has issued over $800 million in land secured special assessment and CFD bonds for development projects in California.

The City joined SCIP in April 2017. Staff asks the City Council to consider modifications to the SCIP agreement to allow financing of fees and facilities through the formation of CFDs in addition to the current assessment district program. By adding CFDs, developers can financ e a broader range of City fees such as the police, fire, library, general city fee and housing in-lieu fee. It will also allow the developer more flexibility in adjusting tax rates by specific product type, assist in forming separate AGENDA ITEM #12.3
Resolution No. 10354 - Amended and Restated Resolution approving the Cit... Page 314 of 348 improvement areas when projects need to be phased, and provide for more facilities to be financed similar in type to the fees.

If a property owner chooses to participate, and the City approves the application, the selected public capital improvements, facilities and/or develop ment impact fees owed to the City will be financed by the issuance of tax -exempt bonds by CSCDA. CSCDA will form the district and impose an assessment or special tax, as applicable, on the owner’s property to repay the portion of the bonds issued to finance the fees paid with respect to the property. No one developer within the SCIP pool is responsible for the payment related to any other project. With respect to impact fees, the property owner will either pay the impact fees at the time of permit issuan ce, and will be reimbursed from the SCIP bond proceeds when the SCIP bonds are issued, or the fees will be funded directly from the proceeds of the SCIP bonds. In both cases, the fees are subject to requisition by the City at any time to make authorized f ee expenditures, and the City is never at risk for payment of its fees. If improvements or facilities are contemplated, the proposed Amended and Restated Resolution includes a form of acquisition agreement, which outlines how a developer will be reimbursed for improvements as they are certified complete by the City.

The benefits to the property owner include:
• Only property owners--at the time of establishment--who choose to participate in the program will have assessments or special taxes imposed on their property. • Instead of paying cash for public capital improvements and/or development impact fees, the property owner receives low -cost long -term tax -exempt financing of those fees, freeing up capital for other purposes.
• The property owner can choose to pay off the assessments or special taxes at any time. • For home buyers, paying for the costs of public infrastructure through an assessment or special tax is superior to having those costs "rolled" into the cost of the home. Although the tax bill is higher, the amount of the mortgage is smaller, making it easier to qualify. Moreover, because the assessment/special tax financing is at tax -exempt rates, it typically comes at lower cost than mortgage rates.
• Owners of smaller projects, both residential and commerc ial, can have access to tax -exempt financing of infrastructure. Before the inception of SCIP, only projects large enough to justify the formation of an assessment or community facilities district had access to tax -exempt financing. SCIP can finance projects as low as $500,000, which would not be economical on a stand-alone basis.

The benefits to the City include:

• As in conventional assessment district and CFD financing, the City is not liable to repay the bonds issued by CSCDA or the assessments or special taxes, as applicable, imposed on the participating properties.
• CSCDA handles all district formation, district administration, bond issuance and bond administration functions. A participating city, county or special district can provide tax-exempt financing to property owners through SCIP while committing virtually no staff time to administer the program.
• Providing tax-exempt financing helps participating cities and counties cushion the impact of rising public capital improvements costs and development impact fees on new development.

Many developers rely on assessment district or CFD financing through SCIP in maki ng the decision to purchase land thereby improving a City’s competitive advantage in attracting new development.
• The availability of financing will encourage developers to pull permits and pay fees in larger blocks, giving the participating city, county or special district immediate access to revenues for public infrastructure, rather than receiving a trickle of revenues stretched out over time. As part

Resolution No. 10354 - Amended and Restated Resolution approving the Cit... Page 315 of 348 of the entitlement negotiation process, the possibility of tax -exempt financing of fees can be used to encourage a developer to pay fees up front.
• In some cases, the assessments or special taxes on successful projects can be refinanced through refunding bonds. Savings achieved through refinancing may be directed back to the participating city, county or s pecial district for use on public infrastructure, or lower property taxes subject to applicable federal tax limitations.

As, without this Amended and Restated Resolution, the Authority has no power to finance City Fees and/or City Improvements (as such terms are defined herein) in proceedings under the Mello-Roos Act to form the CFD, adoption by the Commission of the Authority of each Resolution of Intention to form a CFD under the Mello-Roos Act to finance City Fees and City Improvements shall constitute acceptance of the terms hereof by the Authority with respect to such CFD.

Section 4. This Amended and Restated Resolution and the agreement it embodies are determined to be beneficial to the residents/customers of the City and are in the best interests of the residents of the City, and of the future residents of the area within the proposed CFDs and Assessment Districts. The City hereby finds and declares that the issuance of revenue bonds by the Authority to purchase Local Obligations in connection with SCIP will provide significant public benefits, including without limitation, savings in effective interest rate, bond preparation, bond underwriting and bond issuance costs, and the more efficient delivery of local agency services to residential and commercial development within the City.

Section 5. The Authority has adopted Local Goals and Policies as required by Section 53312.7 of the Mello-Roos Act. The City approves the use of those Local Goals and Policies in connection with the formation of CFDs. The City hereby agrees that the Authority may act in lieu of the City under those Local Goals and Policies in forming and administering the CFDs.

Section 6. The Authority has prepared and will update from time to time the “SCIP Manual of Procedures” (the “Manual”), and the City will handle Fee revenues and funds for Improvements for properties participating in SCIP in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Manual.

Section 7. Pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act and this Amended and Restated Resolution, the Authority may conduct proceedings under the Mello-Roos Act to form the CFDs and to have such CFDs authorize the financing of any or all of the facilities and Fees set forth on Exhibit C, attached hereto. All of the facilities, whether to be financed directly or through Fees, shall be facilities that have an expected useful life of five years or longer and are facilities that the City or other local public agencies, as the case may be, are authorized by law to construct, own or operate, or to which they may contribute revenue. Exhibit C may be modified from time to time by written agreement between an authorized representative of the Authority and of the City. The facilities are referred to herein as the “Improvements,” and the Improvements to be owned by the City are referred to as the “City Improvements.” The Fees paid or to be paid to the City are referred to as the “City Fees.”
Section 8. For Fees paid or to be paid to another agency by any particular CFD (an “Other Local Agency”), the Authority will obtain the written consent of that Other Local

Page 7 of 35 ends

Resolution No. 10354 - Amended and Restated Resolution approving the Cit... Page 320 of 348 Agency before issuing Local Obligations to fund such Fees, as required by the Mello-Roos Act.

For the Improvements to be owned by an Other Local Agency, the Authority will separately identify them in its proceedings, and will enter into a joint community facilities agreement with such Other Local Agency prior to issuing Local Obligations to finance such Improvements, as required by the Mello-Roos Act. Each joint community facilities agreement with each Other Local Agency will contain a provision that the Other Local Agency will provide indemnification to the City to the same extent that the City provides indemnification to the Other Local Agency under the terms of this Amended and Restated Resolution.

Section 9. At the time of formation of each CFD, the City will certify to the Commission of the Authority that all of the City Improvements including the improvements to be constructed or acquired with the proceeds of City Fees to be funded by such CFD are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as a result of development occurring or expected to occur within the proposed CFDs in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Any appropriate officer or staff of the City is authorized to execute and deliver such certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, with such changes as such signatory shall approve. Joint community facilities agreements with other local agencies will each contain a requirement that each Other Local Agency will make identical certification in connection with respect to the Improvements to be owned by, and Fees paid or to be paid to, such Other Local Agency equivalent to that made by the City in this paragraph.

Section 10. The Authority will apply the special tax collections initially as required by the documents under which any Local Obligations are issued; and thereafter, to the extent not provided in the Local Obligations documents, may pay its own reasonable administrative costs incurred in the administration of the CFDs. The Authority will remit any special tax revenues from any particular CFD remaining after the final retirement of all related Local Obligations to the City and to the other local agencies in the proportions specified in the Authority’s proceedings. The City will apply any such special tax revenues it receives for authorized City Improvements or City Fees and its own administrative costs only as permitted by the Mello-Roos Act. The joint community facilities agreements with each Other Local Agency must require the Other Local Agency to apply the special tax revenues they receive for their authorized Improvements and Fees under the CFDs and for their own related administrative costs only as permitted by the Mello-Roos Act.

Section 11. The Authority will administer the CFDs, including employing and paying all consultants, annually levying the special tax and all aspects of paying and administering the Local Obligations, and complying with all State and Federal requirements appertaining to the proceedings, including the requirements of the United States Internal Revenue Code. The City will cooperate fully with the Authority in respect of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to the extent information is required of the City to enable the Authority to perform its disclosure and continuing disclosure obligations with respect to the Local Obligations and any revenue bonds, although the City will not participate in nor be considered to be a participant in the proceedings respecting the CFDs (other than as a party to the agreement embodied by this Amended and Restated Resolution) nor will the City be or be considered to be an issuer of the Local Obligations nor any revenue bonds. The Authority is required to obtain a provision equivalent to this paragraph in all joint community facilities agreements with each Other Local Agency.

Section 15. As respects the Authority and each Other Local Agency, the City agrees – once the City Improvements are constructed according to the approved plans and specifications, and the City and the Participating Developer have put in place their agreed arrangements for the funding of maintenance of the City Improvements – to accept ownership of the City Improvements, to take maintenance responsibility for the City Improvements, and to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph from any and all claims, etc., arising out of the use and maintenance of the City Improvements.

Section 20. The terms of the Agreement embodied by this Amended and Restated Resolution may be amended by a writing duly authorized, executed and delivered by the City and the Authority, except that no amendment may be made after the issuance of the Local Obligations by the Authority that would be detrimental to the interests of the bondholders without complying with all of the bondholder consent provisions for the amendment of the bond resolutions, bond indentures or like instruments governing the issuance, delivery and administration of all outstanding Local Obligations.

Section 2.02. Letting and Administration of Construction Contracts; Indemnification. State law requires that all Acquisition Improvements not completed prior to the formation of the District shall be constructed as if they were constructed under the direction and supervision, or under the authority, of the Local Agency. In order to assure compliance with those provisions, except for any contracts entered into prior to the date hereof, Developer agrees to comply with the requirements set forth in Exhibit C hereto with respect to the bidding and contracting for the construction of the Acquisition Improvements. The Developer agrees that all the contracts shall call for payment of prevailing wages as required by the Labor Code of the State of California. The Developer’s indemnification obligation set forth in Section 3.01 of this Agreement shall also apply to any alleged failure to comply with the requirements of this Section, and/or applicable State laws regarding public contracting and prevailing wages.

Section 2.03. Sale of Acquisition Improvements. The Developer agrees to sell to the Local Agency each Acquisition Improvement to be constructed by Developer (including any rights-of-way or other easements necessary for the Acquisition Improvements, to the extent not already publicly owned), when the Acquisition Improvement is has been constructed and is complete to the satisfaction of the Local Agency for an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Available Amount or (ii) the Actual Cost of the Acquisition Improvement. Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein, contains a list of the Acquisition Improvements. Portions of an Acquisition Improvement eligible for Installment Payments prior to completion of the entire Acquisition Improvement are described as eligible, discrete and usable portions in Exhibit A (each, an “Eligible Portion”). At the time of completion of each Acquisition Improvement, or Eligible Portion thereof, the Developer shall deliver to the Local Agency Engineer a written request for acquisition, accompanied by an Actual Cost Certificate, and by executed Title Documents for the transfer of the Acquisition Improvement where necessary. In the event that the Local Agency Engineer finds that the supporting paperwork submitted by the Developer fails to demonstrate the required relationship between the subject Actual Cost and eligible work, the Local Agency Engineer shall advise the Developer that the determination of the Actual Cost (or the ineligible portion thereof) has been disallowed and shall request further documentation from the Developer. If the further documentation is still not adequate, the Local Agency Engineer may revise the Actual Cost Certificate to delete any disallowed items and the determination shall be final and conclusive.

Certain soft costs for the Acquisition Improvements, such as civil engineering, may have been incurred pursuant to single contracts that include work relating also to the private portions of the Project. In those instances, the total costs under such contracts will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement as approved by the Local Agency Engineer. Where a specific contract has been awarded for design or engineering work relating solely to an Acquisition Improvement, one hundred percent (100%) of the costs under the contract will be allocated to that Acquisition Improvement. Amounts allocated to an Acquisition Improvement will be further allocated among the Eligible Portions of that Acquisition Improvement, if any, in the same proportion as the amount to be reimbursed for hard costs for each Eligible Portion bears to the amount to be reimbursed for hard costs for the entire Acquisition Improvement. Costs will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement as approved by the Local Agency Engineer. The costs of certain environmental mitigation required to mitigate impacts of the public and private portions of the Project will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement as approved by the Local Agency Engineer.

In the event that the Actual Cost is in excess of the Available Amount, the Local Agency shall withdraw the Available Amount from the Acquisition Account and transfer said amount to the Developer. In the event that the Actual Cost is less than the Available Amount, the Local Agency shall withdraw an amount from the Acquisition Account equal to the Actual Cost, and shall transfer said amount to the Developer. Any amounts then remaining in the Acquisition Account shall be applied as provided in Section 1.03.

In no event shall the Local Agency be required to pay the Developer more than the amount on deposit in the Acquisition Account at the time such payment is requested.

Section 2.04. Conditions Precedent to Payment of Acquisition Price. Payment to the Developer or its designee of the Acquisition Price for an Acquisition Improvement from the Acquisition and Construction Fund shall in every case be conditioned first upon the determination of the Local Agency Engineer, pursuant to Section 2.03, that the Acquisition Improvement satisfies all Local Agency regulations and ordinances and is otherwise complete and ready for acceptance by the Local Agency, and shall be further conditioned upon satisfaction of the following additional conditions precedent:
(a) The Developer shall have provided the Local Agency with lien releases or other similar documentation satisfactory to the Local Agency Engineer as evidence that none of the property (including any rights-of-way or other easements necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Acquisition Improvement, to the extent not already publicly owned) comprising the Acquisition Improvement, and the property which is subject to the [assessments/Special Taxes] of the District, is not subject to any prospective mechanics lien claim respecting the Acquisition Improvements.
(b) All due and payable property taxes, and installments of [assessments/Special Taxes] shall be current on property owned by the Developer or under option to the Developer that is subject to the lien of the District. (c) The Developer shall certify that it is not in default with respect to any loan secured by any interest in the Project.
(d) The Developer shall have provided the Local Agency with Title Documents needed to provide the Local Agency with title to the site, right-of-way, or easement upon which the subject Acquisition Improvements are situated. All such Title Documents shall be in a form acceptable to the Local Agency (or applicable governmental agency) and shall convey Acceptable Title. The Developer shall provide a policy of title insurance as of the date of transfer in a form acceptable to the Local Agency Engineer insuring the Local Agency as to the interests acquired in connection with the acquisition of any interest for which such a policy of title insurance is not required by another agreement between the Local Agency and the Developer. Each title insurance policy required hereunder shall be in the amount equal to or greater than the Acquisition Price.

Section 2.05. SCIP Requisition. Upon a determination by the Local Agency Engineer to pay the Acquisition Price of the Acquisition Improvements pursuant to Section 2.04, the Local Agency Engineer shall cause a SCIP Requisition to be submitted to the Program
