"RUBIDOUX COMMERCE PARK" – 1.18 MILLION SQUARE -FOOT
INDUSTRIAL PARK WITH 5 BUILDINGS; LOCATED E ASTERLY OF
MONTANA A VENUE, WESTERLY OF WEST RI VERSIDE CANAL,
SOUTHERLY OF 25 TH STREET, NORTHERLY O F 28 TH STREET, AND
TWO PARCELS LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF THE WES T RIVERSIDE
CANAL AND NORTHWEST OF A V ALON STREET AND EAST OF 28 TH STREET; (APPLICANT: PROFICIENCY CAPITAL, LLC) (CONTINUED FROM THE DECEMBER 7, 2023 MEETING)
Jim Pechous, Principal Planner Consultant, summarized the proposed development and the entitlements being sought by Proficiency Capital. Mr. Pechous described the location of the project which is in the Rubidoux area or eastern part of the city.
He reported that the current site is currently vacant. At the March 17, 2022 Study Session, the Council did not support a 1,261,904 square foot warehouse and distribution center due to impacts on residential, the large size of the building, high volume of truck routes, and number of truck bay doors. As a result, the Council gave direction to the applicant to revise the project to an industrial use that conforms to the existing General Plan land use. As a result, the applicant revised the project and changed the land use from a warehouse use to an industrial park/manufacturing use which is consistent with the General Plan. He reported that a public outreach meeting was held and there was general support for the project.
He noted that a t the November 23, 2023 Planning Commission meeting, the
-8-
Commission voted 3 -1 to deny the proposed Industrial Park development. After the meeting, the applicant appealed the Planning Commis sion’s decision. Mr.
Pechous provided an overview of the proximity to residential, proposed street improvements, project access, truck routes, internal project truck circulation, architectural design, and the landscape plan.
Joe Perez, Community Development Director provided a summary of the proposed Development Agreement.

She stated that the proponent’s analysis shows the maximum residential cancer risk associated with truck emissions from the project are well below the South Coast AQMD significance threshold, therefore, in her opinion , establishing a buffer distance of 1,000 feet or greater between the proposed project and the proposed Emerald Ridge residential community should not be a condition for project approval.

The entitlements for the project include a Gene ral Plan Amendment, Change of Zone, and a Tentative Tract Map.
Council Member Armando Carmona asked whether this is the same developer that had a separate project on Hudson Street, which caused a major flooding issue with one of the neighbors. He questioned whether this issue has been resolved.
Octavio Duran, Assistant City Engineer, responded that all the issues have been addressed. He also noted that the City’s engineering team reviews the hydrology reports and the grading to ensure the project will meet all of the City’s requirements for grading and water quality.
Further discussion followed regarding the PUD zoning which allows for more creative projects and public amenities.

Bernard Murphy spoke in support of this project, stating that if you want to do something about homelessness, you need to build homes.

Masaki Mendoza spoke in support of the project, referencing how it is in the interests of preserving the environment. He encouraged the Council to take the lead in choosing to provide denser housing which will make housing more affordable for future generations.
Lisa Lane spoke in opposition to the project as it will add a minimum of 3,500 or more cars and the t raffic, noise and pollution will be extreme.

Also, the Canadian geese and other migratory birds use this as a feeding/resting area.

City of Camarillo, 37 Cal. 3d 465 (1984), which held the failure of a development agreement to specify the timing of development did not prevent a latter-enacted initiative from applying to the project approvals applicable to the development agreement in question in that case.
4.5 Vested Rights. By entering into this Agreement and relying thereon, Owner is obtaining the vested rights to proceed with the Development of the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. By entering into this Agreement and relying thereon, City is securing certain public benefits which enhance the public health, safety and welfare, a partial listing of which benefits is set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement.
4.6 No Conflicting Enactments. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, neither the City Council nor any other agency of City shall enact a rule, regulation, ordinance, or other measure applicable to the Property that is inconsistent or conflicts with the terms of this Agreement.
4.6.1 Moratorium. It is the intent of the Parties that no moratorium or other limitation (whether relating to the Development of all or any part of the Development and whether enacted by initiative or otherwise) affecting parcel or subdivision maps (whether Draft: December 17, 2023
-13-
2793172.18
tentative, vesting tentative, or final), site development permits, precise plans, site development plans, grading permits, building permits, occupancy certificates, or other entitlements to use approved, issued, or granted within City, or portions of City, shall apply to the Development to the extent such moratorium or other limitation would restrict Owner’s right to develop the Property as provided by this Agreement in such order and at such rate as Owner deems appropriate at its sole and absolute discretion, as provided by this Agreement. City shall reasonably cooperate with Owner in order to keep this Agreement in full force and effect. In the event of any legal action instituted by a third party or other governmental entity or official challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree to reasonably cooperate in defending such action. In the event of any litigation challenging the effectiveness of this Agreement, or any portion hereof, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while such litigation, including any appellate review, is pending. The filing of any third party lawsuit(s) against City or Owner relating to this Agreement, the Project Approvals or to other development issues affecting the Property shall not delay or stop the Development, processing, or construction of the Development, unless the third party obtains a court order preventing the activity.
4.6.2 Consistency Between this Agreement and Current Laws. City represents that at the Effective Date there are no rules, regulations, ordinances, policies, or other measures of City in force that would interfere with the Development and use of all or any part of the Property according this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between any Applicable Regulation, Development Approval, and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
4.7 Amendments to Project Approvals. It is contemplated by the Parties that Owner may, from time to time, seek amendments to one or more of the Project Approvals. Any such amendments are contemplated by the Parties as being within the scope of this Agreement as long as they are consistent with the Applicable Regulations and shall, upon approval by City, continue to constitute the Project Approvals as referenced in this Agreement. The Parties agree that any such amendments shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement nor require an amendment to this Agreement.
4.8 Further Assurances to Owner. The Parties further acknowledge that the public benefits to be provided by Owner to City pursuant to this Agreement are in consideration and reliance upon assurances that the Property can be developed in accordance with the Project Approvals and this Agreement. Accordingly, while recognizing that the Development of the Property may be affected by exercise of the authority and rights reserved and excepted as provided in Section 4.2 of this Agreement, Owner is concerned that normally the judiciary extends to local agencies significant deference in the adoption of land use regulations that might permit City, in violation of Section 4.2, to attempt to apply regulations that are inconsistent with the Project Approvals pursuant to the exercise of the authority and rights reserved and excepted as provided in Section 4.2 of this Agreement. Accordingly, Owner desires assurances that City shall not and City agrees that it shall not further restrict or limit the Development of the Property in violation of this Agreement except in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4.9 Acquisition of Right of Way for Public Improvements.
4.9.1 To the extent Owner does not have sufficient title or interest in the real property required for the construction or installation of a Public Improvement, Owner shall make a good faith effort to acquire the required property ("Required Property") in a timeframe calculated to allow for the orderly Development of the Project. If, following this effort, Owner is unable to acquire the Required Property, Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to request that City acquire the Required Property pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 66462.5, which shall be applicable, regardless of whether Owner is applying for approval of a final map. City shall consider in good faith the acquisition of the Required Property pursuant to an acquisition agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C ("Acquisition Agreement"), pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 66462.5 or Code of Civil Procedure Section 1230.010 and following, as the case may be, including proceedings for immediate possession of the Property pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1255.410 and following. This Agreement is neither a commitment nor an announcement of an intent by City to acquire any or all of the property required for Off-Site Improvements.
4.9.2 In the event City delays or is unwilling or unable to acquire the Required Property, such conditions of approval shall be automatically deemed waived. The specific acquisition of Right of Way requiring public improvements shall be referenced in the Acquisition Agreement.
4.9.3 Both parties acknowledge and agree that acquisition of the Required Property in accordance with the California Eminent Domain Law, requires more time than the suggested timeframes of Government Code Section 66462.5 allow and therefore, the parties waive these time constraints and the Acquisition Agreement shall so provide. The parties further acknowledge and agree that City cannot exercise its power of eminent domain unless and until a Resolution of Necessity has been duly adopted by the City Council pursuant to law. This Agreement is neither a commitment nor the announcement of an intent by City to acquire any or all of the Required Property for the Public Improvements.
4.9.4 If Owner asks City and City agrees to acquire right-of-way through the use of its power of eminent domain, then Owner and City shall enter into an Acquisition Agreement pursuant to Government Code Section 66462.5 for each Public Improvement. Owner shall deposit with City the actual costs reasonably estimated by City for initiating such proceedings and each stage thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.8.
City shall not delay or refuse to issue any Future Development Approvals due to the failure or delay of the City to either (i) enter into the Acquisition Agreement; (ii) if necessary, failure to initiate or conclude an eminent domain proceeding, if such a proceeding is necessary to obtain the Required Property; or (iii) approve any improvement plans needed to construct any Public Improvement.

5.6.4 City shall not impose any additional CBCs. Nothing in this Section 5.6.4 shall prohibit the City from establishing CFDs for public improvements, fees and maintenance pursuant to Sections 6.3 and 6.5.
5.7 Community Facilities District--Community Benefit Contributions.
5.7.1 Owner acknowledges and agrees that the obligations described in Section 5.6 are required by the terms of the Development Approvals and Owner’s obligation to satisfy the obligations of Sections 5.6.2 and 5.6.3. Such obligations may be satisfied by the formation of one or more CFDs. If the City, or a City-controlled public entity, elects not form the CFD described in this Section 5.7, then City acknowledges and agrees that the CBC established in Sections 5.6.2 and 5.6.3 shall not be imposed upon the Owner, any Transferee of Owner (as provided in Section 12 of this Agreement) or any End User of any portion of the Property.

6.1.5 Owner and its contractors shall carry out the design and construction of all private improvements on the Property and all Public Improvements in conformity with all applicable laws (to the extent applicable), including, without limitation, all applicable federal, state and local occupation, employment, prevailing wage, safety and health laws, rules, regulations, and standards. Owner shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 8.1) harmless from and against any cost, expense, claim, charge, or liability relating to or arising directly or indirectly from any breach by or failure of Owner or its contractor(s) or agents to comply with such laws, rules, regulations, and standards. Owner’s indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 6.1 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner’s indemnity obligation with respect to a specific Public Improvement specified in this subsection shall terminate two (2) years after City Council accepts the completed Public Improvement.
6.2 Partial City Funding of Median on Pat’s Ranch Road.
6.2.1 Owner is required to construct the median on Pat’s Ranch Road pursuant to the Project Approvals (“Pat’s Ranch Road Median”).
6.2.2 The City received the sum of three hundred ninety seven thousand four hundred sixty six dollars and forty cents ($397,466.40) from the developer of Tracts 33428- 1-3, easterly of the Project, for the eventual construction of the median on Pat’s Ranch Road from Limonite to Shearwater.
6.2.3 Within thirty (30) days of the City Council’s acceptance of Pat’s Ranch Road and its median and the recordation of the Certificate of Completion, the City shall pay to the Owner the sum of three hundred ninety seven thousand four hundred sixty six dollars and forty cents ($397,466.40) as partial reimbursement of Owner’s actual costs of construction the Pat’s Ranch Road Median.
6.2.4 Labor Code Section 1720(c)(2) provides that:
“If the state or a political subdivision requires a private developer to perform construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work on a public work of improvement as a condition of regulatory approval of an otherwise private development project, and the state or political subdivision contributes no more money, or the equivalent of money, to the overall project than is required to perform this public improvement work, and the state or political subdivision maintains no proprietary interest in the overall project, then only the public improvement work shall thereby become subject to this chapter.”
6.2.5 Pursuant to the provisions of Labor Code Section 1720(c)(2), the City Council finds and determines that:
Draft: December 17, 2023
-20-
2793172.18
6.2.5.1 The Project Approvals for the Project require the Owner to construct the Pat’s Ranch Road Median and other public improvements;
6.2.5.2 The City has contributed no more money, or the
equivalent of money, to the overall Project than is required to construct Pat’s Ranch Road Median and in fact is only contributing to a portion of its construction from fees received from another development designed for the Pat’s Ranch Road Median and other public improvements; and
6.2.5.3 The City will not obtain or maintain any proprietary interest in the overall Project.
6.2.6 Therefore, based on the above findings in Section 6.2, the City and Owner have determined that:
6.2.6.1 Prevailing wages pursuant to Labor Code Section 1720 et. seq. shall be paid for the construction of the Pat’s Ranch Road Median described in this Agreement and the Project Approvals; and
6.2.6.2 Prevailing wages are not required to be paid on the private improvements for the Project in accordance with to Labor Code Section 1720(c)(2).
6.2.7 Owner hereby represents to City that it understands and acknowledges the relationship of the City’s obligation to design and construct the Pat’s Ranch Road Median Public Improvements pursuant to this Agreement and the potential impact on the application of prevailing wages to development of the Project. Accordingly, Owner on behalf of itself and its successors in interest, hereby expressly and knowingly waive their respective rights under Labor Code Sections 1726 and 1781 to seek recovery against the City of any prevailing wage liabilities they may incur based upon this Agreement. Owner hereby acknowledges that it has either consulted with legal counsel, or had an opportunity to consult with legal counsel, regarding the prevailing wage issues described herein and the provisions of the California Civil Code section 1542, which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” Owner hereby acknowledges that it may have claims which are presently unknown and unsuspected, and such claims in the future.
Nevertheless, Owner hereby acknowledges that this Agreement has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that situation, and hereby expressly waive any and all rights which they may have under California Civil Code Section 1542, or under any statute or common law or equitable principal of similar effect.
Owner’s authorized representative initials: ___________________.

2793172.18
6.3.1 Maintenance of City Public Improvements. City shall maintain all City Public Improvements, pursuant to a maintenance CFD described in Section 6.5, unless City and Owner have entered into one or more Operating Memoranda pursuant to Section 3.4.4 designating Owner, or a homeowner’s association formed by Owner (“HOA”), to maintain a component of the City Public Improvements.

The Project Approvals provide for the design and construction of public improvements for other public entities, including but not limited to Jurupa Area Parks and Recreation District, Jurupa Community Services District, and Riverside County Flood Control District.

Such grants shall be at no additional cost to either Party.
6.5 Community Facilities District—Public Improvements, Fees and Maintenance.
6.5.1 Request for Public Improvement CFD. Owner may request in writing that the City or another public entity establish a CFD, or annex to an existing CFD (“Alternate CFD”), pursuant to the Mello Roos Community Facilities District Act and issue bonds to: 1) finance the design, construction, installation, and final completion of the Public Improvements, as required by the Project Approvals and this Agreement; 2) pay for City DIF, TUMF, MSHCP Fee, agency fees, or regional fees; and 3) any other facilities pursuant to Joint Community Facilities Agreements (“JCFA”) with other public agencies. Unless as otherwise stated in this Section 6.5, the provisions of Section 6.5 are exclusive to an City CFD or an Alternate CFD, and do not apply to the CFD provisions of Sections 5.6 and 5.7. Owner shall vote in favor of a City CFD or Alternate CFD. City agrees to use good faith efforts to enter into one of more JCFA(s). In the event owner requests a public entity other than the City, or a City- controlled public entity, to establish a CFD or annex to an existing CFD for Public Improvements as described in this Section 6.5.1, the Owner shall not vote in favor of such a CFD or annexation unless there is sufficient capacity under the maximum special tax rate described in Section 6.5.3 to provide for the CBC special tax described in Section 5.7. The Owner acknowledges and agrees that a similar provision will also be added to any JCFAs between the City and another public entity.
6.5.2 Request for Maintenance CFD. Owner shall request in writing that the City establish a CFD, or annex to an existing City CFD, pursuant to the Mello Roos Community Facilities District Act, for the purpose of funding the annual costs of maintenance of the City Public Improvements described in this Section 6.5.2. Exhibit E sets forth the units of Draft: December 17, 2023
-22-
2793172.18
benefit by land use type (“Land Use Type”) which will be used to determine the special tax for maintenance based on the City Public Improvements to be maintained by the City and the size and components of those improvements (“Benefit Units”). Parcels of Taxable Property (as defined in the Rate and Method of Apportionment for such maintenance CFD) shall be assigned the appropriate Benefit Unit(s) contained in the Table shown in Exhibit E based upon each parcel’s assignment to the appropriate Land Use Type. The cost per Benefit Unit shall be calculated based upon the total budget for required maintenance (including but not limited to actual costs, reserves, contingency, administration, and County fees), divided by the total number of Benefit Units for Taxable Property. The Special Tax shall be levied upon and collected from each such parcel for each fiscal year based on the Benefit Units which are assigned to the parcel as a result of its assignment to the appropriate Land Use Type. The first special tax for maintenance shall be levied by the CFD in the first tax year following the issuance of a building permit for each type of property listed in Exhibit E, but solely on parcels where a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued. Thereafter, the special tax for maintenance shall be levied by the CFD on the property in perpetuity.
6.5.3 Annual Increase in Maintenance CFD Special Tax. Commencing July 1st of City’s second fiscal year in which the special taxes are being levied by the Maintenance CFD, and annually thereafter, the maintenance costs shall automatically increase by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers; Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario) or three percent (3%), whichever is greater, provided however, the costs of electricity shall be assessed at its actual cost. The calculation of the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index shall be made using the month of April over the month of April in the prior year. No public entity other than the City or a City-controlled public entity, may form a Maintenance CFD for the City Public Improvements.
6.5.4 Annual Increase in Rate and Method of Apportionment for Public Improvement CFD. The Rate and Method of Apportionment for the financing of Public Improvements shall authorize the special tax to escalate two percent (2.00%) annually.
6.5.5 Maximum Special Tax. City agrees that the maximum effective tax rate for assessor's parcels within each City CFD or Alternate CFD, including the CFD specified in Sections 5.6 and 5.7, including, without limitation, all overlapping debt, may not exceed two percent (2.0%) of the reasonably expected value of the parcel with planned vertical improvements determined at the time of approval of the CFD(s) and the Rate and Method of Apportionment in accordance with the City’s Community Facilities District Policy.
6.5.6 Processing CFD; Viability of CFD. City agrees to use reasonable efforts to develop and implement all CFD(s) subject to public hearing and election requirements of applicable State and, if tax-exempt bonds are to be issued, Federal law, the Applicable Regulations and the customary and reasonable industry standards for the development of such financings for CFD(s). Owner and City acknowledge and agree that the establishment of a CFD for facilities and the issuance of bonds supported by the special taxes are dependent on many factors that are not known at this time. The viability of the financing, the amount of special taxes for debt service, and available bond proceeds will be dependent on several factors existing at the time the bonds are sold, including, but not limited to, the financial markets, interest on tax Draft: December 17, 2023
-23-
2793172.18
exempt financings, housing market, value of homes in the area, absorption rates for home sales in the area, and bond underwriting criteria.
6.5.7 Commencement of Proceedings. City agrees that upon receipt of Owner's written request and application and the deposit with City of sufficient funds to pay the City's costs to undertake the proceedings to establish any particular CFD, City shall conduct proceedings to establish the respective CFD(s) and Owner shall cooperate in the conduct of such proceedings. Owner acknowledges that this Agreement cannot obligate the City Council to establish the CFD(s) at the conclusion of those proceedings. In the event the City Council does not approve the CFD for the financing of facilities and fees, the Owner may seek an alternative agency (or agencies) to form a CFD for the Property.
6.5.8 Maximum CFD Proceeds.

-25-
2793172.18
actions and approvals by City. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision of this Agreement to a particular situation is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, or if this Agreement terminates for any reason, then such invalidity, unenforceability or termination of this Agreement or any part hereof shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such Property Approvals or other land use approvals and entitlements. In such cases, such approvals and entitlements will remain in effect pursuant to their own terms, provisions, and the Conditions of Approval. It is understood by the Parties to this Agreement that pursuant to existing law, if this Agreement terminates or is held invalid or unenforceable as described above, such approvals and entitlements shall not remain valid for the Term, but shall remain valid for the term(s) of such approvals and entitlements.
7.2 City Cooperation. City staff shall work cooperatively with Owner to assist in coordinating the expeditious processing and consideration of all necessary permits, entitlements and approvals. To the extent City or City’s designee is unable to process and consider permits, entitlements and approvals in an expeditious manner, Owner shall pay to the City the costs of hiring temporary Staff or retaining an outside contractor to assist City in the expeditious processing and consideration of all necessary permits, entitlements and approvals.
7.3 No Action to Impede Project Approvals. City shall take no action or impose any condition that would conflict with this Agreement or the Project Approvals.

7.4 Processing During Third Party Litigation. The filing of any third party lawsuit(s) against the City or Owner relating to this Agreement, the Project Approvals, or other development issues affecting the Project or the Property, shall not delay or stop the development, processing or construction of the Project or the issuance of Subsequent Project Approvals unless the third party obtains an injunction or other court order preventing the activity.
8. INDEMNIFICATION.
8.1 Litigation to Set Aside, Void, or Annul the Agreement. Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless City, its affiliated agencies and districts, their agents, officers, consultants, contractors, attorneys, and employees (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons against the Indemnified Parties brought by a third party to set aside, void, or annul the approval of this Agreement or the Project Approvals (not including Subsequent Project Approvals) (“Third Party Initial Challenge”). Any subsequent challenge to this Agreement or Subsequent Project Approvals is a “Third Party Challenge”. Concerning any Third Party Challenge, only the Owner which filed the development application subject to the Third Party Challenge shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons against the Indemnified Parties brought by a third party to set aside, void, or annul the approval of this Agreement or any Subsequent Project Approval. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.1.1 of this Agreement, Owner’s obligation pursuant to this Section 8.1 is not a benefit or burden running with the land and shall Draft: December 17, 2023
-26-
2793172.18
not be assigned to any person without the prior express written consent of City, unless a transfer or assignment is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement. Owner’s duties under this Section 8.1 are solely subject to and conditioned upon the Indemnified Parties written request to Owner to indemnify the Indemnified Parties. Owner shall deposit the expected costs of defense, as reasonably determined by the City Attorney, with City within ten (10) business days of notice from City of the claim and shall add to the deposit within ten (10) business days from the request of City. Without in any way limiting the provisions of this Section 8.1, the Parties agree that this Section 8.1 shall be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 2778 in effect as of the Effective Date. The filing of any Third Party Initial Challenge or Third Party Challenge shall not delay or stop the Development, processing or construction of the Project or the issuance of Subsequent Project Approvals unless the third party obtains an injunction or other court order preventing the activity. City may not settle any Third Party Initial Challenge or Third Party Challenge without Owner’s prior written consent. The Term, the obligations imposed pursuant to this Agreement and the expiration date of the Project Approvals and Subsequent Project Approvals shall be extended day for day for any delay arising from or related to a Third Party Initial Challenge or Third Party Challenge until the date on which the Third Party Initial Challenge or Third Party Challenge is finally resolved, via a final non- appealable judgment, voluntary or involuntary dismissal (and the passage of any time required to appeal an involuntary dismissal), or binding written settlement agreement.
8.2 Other Litigation. Notwithstanding Section 8.1, and as a separate and distinct obligation of Owner, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner shall defend (with counsel of City’s choosing regarding counsel who shall represent the City), indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct of Owner, its officials, officers, employees, contractors, subcontractors, Owner’s or agents in connection with the performance of the Owner’s obligations under this Agreement or the Project, including without limitation the payment of all damages, expert witness fees and attorney’s fees and other related costs and expenses. Owner's obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by Owner, the Indemnified Parties. Except for a Third Party Challenge to the Project Approvals or this Agreement, the indemnity obligation specified in this Section 8.2 shall not apply to an Owner which has not submitted development applications which are subject to such litigation.

9. PERIODIC REVIEW OF COMPLIANCE WITH AGREEMENT.
9.1 Periodic Review. The Parties shall review this Agreement at least once every 12-month period from the Effective Date of this Agreement. City shall notify Owner in writing of the date for review at least thirty (30) calendar days prior thereto. Such periodic review shall be conducted in accordance with Government Code Section 65865.1.
9.2 Good Faith Compliance. During each periodic review, Owner shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Owner shall furnish such reasonable evidence of good faith compliance as City, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, may require. If requested by Owner, City shall provide to Owner, a certificate that Owner or a duly authorized Estoppel Certificate pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of this Agreement.
9.3 Failure to Conduct Annual Review. City’s failure to conduct the annual review shall not be an Owner default. Further, Owner shall not be entitled to any remedy for City’s failure to conduct the annual review.
9.4 Initiation of Review by City Council. In addition to the annual review, the City Council may at any time initiate a review of this Agreement by giving written notice to Owner. Within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of such notice, Owner shall submit evidence to the City Council of Owner’s good faith compliance with this Agreement and such review and determination shall proceed in the same manner as provided for the annual review.
The City Council shall initiate its review pursuant to this Section 9.4 only if it has probable cause to believe City’s general health, safety, or welfare is at risk as a result of specific acts or failures to act by Owner.
9.5 Administration of Agreement. Any final decision by City staff concerning the interpretation and administration of this Agreement and Development of the Property in accordance with this Agreement may be appealed by Owner to the City Council, provided that any such appeal shall be filed with the City Clerk within ten (10) business days after Owner receives written notice that the staff decision is final. The City Council shall render its decision to affirm, reverse, or modify the staff decision within thirty (30) calendar days after the appeal was filed. The decision of the City Council as to the administration of this Agreement shall be final and is not appealable. The foregoing notwithstanding, breaches of this Agreement are subject to judicial relief as provided in this Agreement.

If requested by Owner, City shall provide to Owner copies of any documents, reports, or other items reviewed, accumulated, or prepared by or for City in connection with any periodic compliance review by City except for matters protected from disclosure by the attorney client or attorney work product privileges.
10. DEFAULT; REMEDIES; DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
10.1 Notice of Default. In the event of failure by a Party substantially to perform any material term or provision of this Agreement, the non-defaulting Party shall have those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, provided that such non-defaulting Party has first provided to the defaulting Party a written notice of default in the manner required by Draft: December 17, 2023
-28-
2793172.18
this Section 10 identifying with specificity the nature of the alleged default and the manner in which said default may satisfactorily be cured.
10.2 Cure of Default. Upon the receipt of the notice of default, the alleged defaulting Party shall promptly commence to cure, correct, or remedy the identified default at the earliest reasonable time after receipt of the notice of default and shall complete the cure, correction, or remedy of such default not later than ten (10) business days after receipt of notice thereof if the breach of this Agreement involves the payment of money, or not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of notice thereof if the breach of this Agreement does not involve the payment of money; provided, however, that if such breach may not reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) calendar day period, then a default shall exist only if the cure of such breach is not commenced within such thirty (30) calendar day period or thereafter is not diligently prosecuted to completion.
10.3 Owner’s Remedies. Due to the size, nature, and scope of the Property and the Development, it will not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, Owner may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to utilize the Property and provide for other benefits. Owner has invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Development of the Property in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Development and Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of money that would adequately compensate Owner for such efforts. For the above reasons, the Parties agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy if City fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement and that Owner shall have the right to seek and obtain specific performance as a remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Moreover, City would not have consented to this Agreement if it were to be subject to damages for breach of this Agreement. Therefore, Owner specifically agrees that it has no authority under this Agreement or otherwise to seek monetary damages against City for any breach of this Agreement by City, and shall not to seek monetary damages against City for breach of this Agreement.
10.4 City Remedies. In the event of an uncured default by Owner of the terms of this Agreement, City, at its option, may institute legal action in law or in equity to cure, correct, or remedy such default, enjoin any threatened or attempted violation, or enforce the terms of this Agreement by specific performance as its sole and exclusive remedy. Furthermore, City, in addition to or as an alternative to exercising the remedies set forth in this Section 10, in the event of a material default by Owner, may give notice of its intent to terminate or modify this Agreement pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Development Agreement Legislation, in which event the matter shall be scheduled for consideration and review by the City Council in the manner set forth in this Agreement or the Development Agreement Legislation.
10.5 Judicial Review.
10.5.1 Subsequent Land Use Entitlements. Based on the foregoing, in the event Owner judicially (including by way of a reference proceeding) challenges the application of a Subsequent Land Use Regulation as being in violation of this Agreement and as not being a land use regulation adopted pursuant to the authority and rights reserved and excepted as Draft: December 17, 2023
-29-
2793172.18
provided in Section 4.2 of this Agreement, Owner shall bear the burden of proof in establishing that such rule, regulation, or policy is inconsistent with the Applicable Regulations, the Project Approvals, or both, and City shall thereafter bear the burden of proof in establishing that such regulation was adopted pursuant to and in accordance with the authority and rights reserved and except as provided in Section 4.2 of this Agreement and was not applied by City in violation of this Agreement.
10.5.2 Collection of Fees or Community Benefit Contributions. City may bring an action against Owner collection for any development fees due to the City or Community Benefit Contributions due to the City as described in Section 5 within six (6) years from the date the payment was due.
11. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION; CERTAIN RIGHTS TO CURE.
11.1 No Liens on Property as of Effective Date. Owner warrants and represents to the City that as of the date of recordation of this Agreement there is no mortgage, deed of trust, sale and leaseback arrangement, lien or any other form of pledge of security on the Property or any portion of the Property. If any such lien exists, Owner shall obtain the lien holders consent to this Agreement and a subordination of its interests to this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the City Manager and City Attorneys that shall be recorded as part of this Agreement.
11.2 Future Encumbrances on the Property. This Agreement shall not prevent or limit Owner from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvements thereon with any mortgage, deed of trust, sale and leaseback arrangement, or any other form of conveyance (“Mortgage”) in which the Property, or a portion thereof or interest therein, is pledged as security, and contracted for in good faith and fair value in order to secure financing with respect to the construction, development, use, or operation of the Property.
11.3 Mortgagee Protection. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4.5, this Agreement shall be superior and senior to the lien of any Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the lien of any Mortgage made in good faith and for value, and any acquisition or acceptance of title or any right or interest in or with respect to the Property or any portion thereof by a holder of a beneficial interest under a Mortgage, or any successor or assignee to said holder (“Mortgagee”), whether pursuant to foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, lease termination, or otherwise, shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
11.4 Mortgagee Not Obligated. No Mortgagee will have any obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform the obligations of Owner or other affirmative covenants of Owner hereunder, or to guarantee such performance. In addition, the Mortgagee shall have no right to develop or operate the Property without fully complying with the terms of this Agreement, and to the extent that any covenant to be performed by Owner is a condition to the performance of a covenant by City, the performance thereof shall continue to be a condition precedent to City’s performance under this Agreement.
Draft: December 17, 2023

11.5 Notice of Default to Mortgagee; Right of Mortgagee to Cure. City shall, upon written request to City, deliver to each Mortgagee a copy of any notice of default given to Owner under the terms of this Agreement, at the same time such notice of default is provided to Owner. The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure, correct, or remedy the default, within sixty (60) calendar days after the receipt of such notice from City for monetary defaults, or within sixty (60) calendar days after Owner’s cure period has expired for non-monetary defaults, or, for such defaults that cannot reasonably be cured, corrected, or remedied within such period, the Mortgagee may cure, correct, or remedy the default if the Mortgagee commences to cure, correct, or remedy such default within such sixty (60) calendar day period, and continuously and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. If the default is of a nature that can only be remedied or cured by such Mortgagee upon obtaining possession of the Property, such Mortgagee shall have the right to seek to obtain possession with diligence and continuity through foreclosure, a receiver or otherwise, and shall be permitted thereafter to remedy or cure the default within such time as is reasonably necessary to cure or remedy said default but in no event more than ninety (90) calendar days after obtaining possession. If any such default cannot, with diligence, be remedied or cured within such thirty (30) calendar day period, then such period shall be extended to permit the Mortgagee to effect a cure or remedy so long as Mortgagee commences said cure or remedy during such ninety (90) calendar day period, and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion.
12. TRANSFERS OF INTEREST IN PROPERTY OR AGREEMENT.
12.1 Transfers and Assignments.

TEMPLATE AGREEMENT FOR ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66462.5
AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66462.5
(___________________ PROJECT)
This Agreement for acquisition of real property pursuant to Government Code section 66462.5 is made and entered into as of ___________________, _____ , by and between ________________________________ , _________________ (“Owner” hereinafter) and the City OF JURUPA VALLEY, a municipal corporation (“ City” hereinafter). Owner and City are referred to jointly below as “parties.” In consideration of the I n consideration of the recitals of facts and purposes, the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement and for the furth er consideration described in this Agreement, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is made with respect to the following facts and purposes that each agrees to be true and correct.
A. On ___________________, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2023-___ approving a Development Agreement between Owner and City for the Owner’s Project within the City (“Development Agreement”). All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as described in the Development Agreement, including, without limitation, Property, Project, and Project Approvals.
B. To facilitate the orderly development of the Project through the Project Approvals on the Property the Owner will be required to construct certain Public Improvements.
Satisfaction of such conditions of the Development Approvals, however, involves real property that is neither owned by Owner or City (the “Off-Site Property” hereinafter). A legal description and map depiction of the Off-Site Property required to satisfy the condition of approval is attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
C. Pursuant to California Government Code section 66462.5 and Section 4.9 of the Development Agreement, when a condition of a subdivision map approval or a development agreement requires the installation or construction of improvements on Off-Site Property not owned or controlled by the Owner, and title cannot be obtained by negotiated purchase, a city is required to commence proceedings to acquire Off-Site Property by eminent domain or such off- site improvement conditions will be waived. Pursuant to said section 66462.5, a city and an Owner may enter into an agreement to allocate the costs and responsibilities for acquisition of such Off-Site Property.
D. Owner has recorded or intends to record Tract Map No. ________ and, under a separate subdivision improvement agreement, has agreed (and posted security) to undertake and complete all required public improvements set forth in _______________________, including _________________________________ said Off-Site Property, following recordation of Tract Map No. ________.
EXHIBIT C
-2-
E. City has been provided credible evidence that Owner has made a good faith effort to acquire the Off-Site Property but has been unable to do so by negotiated purchase; F. California Government Code Section 40404 and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1230.010 et seq. authorizes City to acquire by eminent domain any and all property necessary for ________________________ purposes; G. The City must comply with Relocation Assistance Act, Government Code Sections 7260 et seq., and the Eminent Domain Law, Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1230.010 et seq., and their implementing regulations, in acquiring property for public improvements (“Public Land Acquisition Statutes”).
H. To facilitate the satisfaction of the condition of approval, City and Owner now mutually desire to enter into this Agreement under Government Code Section 66462.5 concerning acquisition of the Off-Site Property and to allocate responsibility between the respective parties; and
I. This Agreement is solely made in furtherance of the authority granted under Government Code Section 66462.5 and Section 4.9 of the Development Agreement. The parties recognize that City cannot exercise its power of eminent domain until all legally required preconditions under the Land Acquisition Statutes, including a Resolution of Necessity have been lawfully adopted by the City Council of the City pursuant to law. This Agreement is neither a commitment nor an announcement of an intent by City to acquire any or all of the Off- Site Property that may be identified in this Agreement. In the event City elects to commence an action after the required public hearing on the Resolution of Necessity, then City shall cause the eminent domain action for the acquisition of the specified interest or interests (whether fee, leasehold or otherwise) in and to the Off-Site Property to be filed and expeditiously processed to completion by and through the use of City’s power of eminent domain.
2. City Acquisition of Off-Site Property. Subject to Owner’s timely and continuous performance of all elements of this Agreement and the Development Agreement, City shall cause an action pursuant to the Land Acquisition Statutes to be pursued to completion for the acquisition of the Off-Site Property using legal counsel and consultants of City’ reasonable selection. Owner agrees City’s selected legal counsel is not representing Owner in any capacity and further that Owner is not a third party beneficiary under the engagement agreement between City and City’s selected legal counsel.
3. Owner Responsible for All Costs of Acquisition. Owner shall be solely responsible for all Off-Site Property acquisition costs, which shall include, but not be limited to, the costs of title reports and/or litigation guarantees, litigation expenses, court costs, attorneys’ fees, deposits necessary to take immediate possession of any such interest, deposits reflecting verdicts as to the value of any such interest necessary to obtain any final order or orders of condemnation, any sum paid as and for a settlement of any suit filed by City pursuant to this Agreement, payments for land and improvements on the land, severance damages, fixtures and equipment payments, payments for loss of business goodwill, relocation benefits, precondemnation damages, relocation expenses, abandonment damages, Off-Site Property owners’ statutory costs and litigation expenses authorized by the Eminent Domain Law, codified as Code of Civil Procedure
EXHIBIT C
-3-
Section 1230.010, et seq. (Eminent Domain Law), Public Land Acquisition Statutes and any and all fees, costs and expenses arising from or related to any of the foregoing items, actions, and proceedings. No settlement of an action brought by City to acquire Off-Site Property or arising from City’s action(s) shall be effective without Owner first providing its written approval thereof to City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
4. Limitations on City’s Ability to Acquire Off-Site Property; Time Waiver. The parties hereto recognize that if the City Council, in its discretion, adopts a Resolution of Necessity and authorizes the filing of an eminent domain proceeding, the City may not be able to obtain the fee title to the Property within the time set forth in Government Code section 66462.5 and in recognition of this potential circumstance the parties hereby waive the time requirements for action by the City set forth in Government Code Section 66462.5.
5. Deposit of Costs. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement by City, Owner shall deliver to City the sum of _______________ Thousand Dollars ($_______.00). City agrees to deposit said sum in a separate City account (“Acquisition Fund”) and to use the principal sum, and any interest earned thereon, in furtherance of satisfying the costs specified in this Agreement, other than the unsatisfied costs identified in this paragraph.
A. City shall, on a monthly basis, or as often as City deems necessary, provide Owner with an accounting of disbursements from the Acquisition Fund established pursuant to paragraph 5, above. In the event disbursements reduce the balance of the fund to Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) or less, Owner, five (5) business days following a written request of City, shall deliver to City such additional monies as are necessary to maintain the balance in the Acquisition Fund at ___________ Thousand Dollars ($______________.00).
B. In addition to its deposits to the Acquisition Fund, Owner agrees to deliver to City, promptly upon demand by City, the entire amount City determines is required by the Eminent Domain Law (“Deposit Amount”), which amount City will deposit under Code of Civil Procedure sections 1255.010, et seq. if City and Owner agree that City should seek prejudgment possession of the Off-Site Property. If the City’s expert valuation witness determines at the date of exchange of valuation data under Code of Civil Procedure section 1258.220 that the fair market value of the Off-Site Property is higher than the Deposit Amount, Owner shall deliver this additional amount to City upon five (5) business days written notice by City or as ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction. City shall promptly deposit this additional amount with the Court.
C. If for any reason Owner fails to maintain the Acquisition Fund balance referenced in this paragraph, or fails to provide the monies as required by this paragraph, City may utilize and draw down all or any portion of the improvement security deposited pursuant to the separate subdivision improvement agreement to pay any of the costs and expenses referenced herein for acquisition of the Off-Site Property. City shall not commence any activity under or in furtherance of this Agreement until Owner provides City and City agrees with and approves a written acknowledgment from both the Owner and the person, firm, or entity who has provided the referenced security that: (i) the City may make demand on the security for the purposes described in this Agreement; (ii) the surety will promptly pay such monies to City upon City’s demand and (iii) the amount of the security deposit is adequate to fund both the anticipated
EXHIBIT C

physical improvements under the map and the anticipated costs of acquisition pursuant to this Agreement.
D. When any eminent domain action which was commenced pursuant to this Agreement is concluded, City shall remit to Owner the balance of the Acquisition Fund within sixty (60) days after full payment of just compensation, costs and all applicable litigation expenses have been made to Off-Site Property owners. Additionally, City shall expeditiously withdraw any funds remaining on deposit with the Court and disburse the same to Owner once a final order of condemnation or a dismissal of the eminent domain action is entered by the Court.
6. Owner Acquisition of Property. If Owner should independently acquire all or any portion of the Off-Site Property by negotiated purchase after an eminent domain action is filed by the City, Owner shall immediately notify City of the acquisition. After Owner obtains fee title to the subject interest City shall move to abandon all or any unnecessary part of the action relating to the property acquired by negotiation. If a complete or partial abandonment is filed, Owner shall bear any and all costs, expenses and/or damages related thereto, including, but not limited to, any condemnee’s recoverable costs and/or recoverable attorneys’ fees pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1268.610, et seq.
7. General.
A. Notices. Any and all notices, requests or other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement or by reason of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when: (i) delivered in person or by courier or overnight delivery service; or (ii) five (5) business days after mailing, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at the following addresses or any such other address or addresses as the parties may, from time to time, designate in writing in the manner herein specified:

C. The uses listed in subsections A. and B. of this section do not include sex-oriented businesses as defined in Chapter 5.60, Sex Oriented Businesses, of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code.
D. Accessory uses. An accessory use to a permitted use is allowed, provided the accessory use is established on the same lot or parcel of land, and is incidental to, and consistent with the character of the permitted principal use, including, but not limited to, limited manufacturing, fabricating, processing, packaging, treating and incidental storage related thereto, provided any such activity shall be in the same line of merchandise or service as the trade or service business conducted on the premises and providing any such related activity does not exceed any of the following restrictions:

(2) The maximum total horsepower of all electric motors used in connection with such accessory use shall be five (5) horsepower.
(3) The accessory use shall be so conducted that noise, vibration, dust, odor, and all other objectionable factors shall be reduced to the extent that there will be no annoyance to persons outside the premises. Such accessory use shall be located not nearer than fifty (50) feet to any residential zone.

Such a use is subject to the permit process which governs the category in which it falls.
F. It is the intent of the City Council that a legally established pre-existing land use of an occupied property shall not assume a nonconforming status as a result of the adoption of the 2017 General Plan and the concurrent or subsequent adoption of a change of zone for consistency with the 2017 General Plan. Any pre-existing use certified pursuant to Section [9.240.080] that is not specifically listed in subsections a. and b. shall be considered a permitted or conditionally permitted use the same as provided for such use under the zoning classification of the subject property prior to the adoption of the new zoning classification concurrent with, or subsequent to, the effective date of City Council Resolution No. 2017-14[A3] adopting the 2017 General Plan. The expansion of significant modification of such a pre-existing use shall be subject to the approval process and zoning requirements that had governed the category of use in which it fell under the prior zoning classification. However, nothing in this subsection shall be construed to mean that a site development permit or conditional use permit is required to continue such pre-existing use.
