Of the total number of dwelling units (20 percent) set aside, at least five percent shall be reserved for sale to median-income households with the balance set aside for moderate-income households. Whenever the inclusionary requirement results in a fraction of units, the units shall be combined and provided as median-income units. For example, a 110-unit for-sale residential development would be required to provide 15 percent, or 16.5 units, at the moderate-income level and five percent, or five and one-half units, at the median-income level. Therefore, 16 units shall be provided at the moderate-income level and six units shall be provided at the median-income level.
(2) Rental Units. The affordable housing units for rental residential developments must be designated or reserved for rental to very-lowincome, and low-income, median-income, and moderate-income households. Of the total number of dwelling units (20 percent) set aside, at least six percent shall be reserved for rental to very-low-income households, at least seven percent shall be reserved for low-income households, and at least four percent shall be reserved for median-income households, with the balance set aside for moderate-income households. Whenever the inclusionary requirement results in a fraction of units, the units shall be 2270
ORDINANCE NO. ___
combined and provided as very-low-income units. For example, a 110-unit rental residential development would be required to provide six percent, or six and six-tenths units, at the very-low income level; seven percent, or seven and seven-tenths units, at the low-income level; four percent, or four and four-tenths units at the median-income level; and three percent, or three and three-tenths units, at the moderate-income level. The combined fractional units equate to two units that shall be provided as very-lowincome units. Therefore, eight units shall be provided at the very-low income level, seven units shall be provided at the low-income level, four units shall be provided at the median-income level, and three units shall be provided at the moderate-income level.
B. 10.06.050 (D)(4)(c) is hereby amended so it reads as follows:
c. Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Area.
(1) For-Sale Units. The developer shall reserve 20 15 percent or more of the for-sale units as affordable units to be sold to median low-and moderateincome households at a price that does not exceed the maximum affordable purchase price for a unit for those households. The maximum purchase price for median low- and moderate-income households shall be as adopted annually by City Council resolution.
(a) At least five seven-and-one-half (7.5) percent of the reserved units shall be set aside for low median-income households, with the balance set aside and at least seven-and-one-half (7.5) percent for moderate-income households.
(b) Whenever the inclusionary requirement results in a fraction of units, the units shall be combined and provided as low median-income units as described in subsection A of this section.
(c) The for-sale units shall be encumbered in a manner acceptable to the City, so that if a buyer resells the reserved unit within the restricted time period for a price in excess of the inflation-adjusted purchase price, then the excess profit will be returned to the City for use in affordable housing programs.
(2) Rental Units. The developer shall reserve 20 percent or more of the rental units as affordable units to be rented to very-low-income, low-income, medianincome, and moderate-income households at a cost that does not exceed maximum monthly rental rates for those households. The maximum monthly rental rates for very-low-income, low-income, median-income, and moderateincome households, shall be adopted annually by City Council resolution. (a) At least six percent of the reserved units shall be set aside for very-lowincome households, at least seven percent shall be set aside for low-income 2271
ORDINANCE NO. ___
households, and at least four percent shall be set aside for median-income households, with the balance and three percent set aside for moderateincome households. (b) Whenever the inclusionary requirement results in a fraction of units, the units shall be combined and provided as very-low-income units as described in subsection A of this section.
(c) The rental units shall be marketed and made available through an application process directed by the City and the development shall be managed by an experienced management company acceptable to the City.

RESOLUTION NO. ________
IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA A RESOLUTION APPROVING SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 24-001, FOR THE
ISABEL CROSSING PROJECT, THAT WOULD AMEND THE ISABEL
NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIFIC PLAN’S MASTER PLANNING AND INCLUSIONARY
POLICIES AND AMEND THE LAND USE MAP
On September 22, 2022, the City of Livermore (“City”) received an application from Isabel Portola Owner, LLC (Harridge Development Group) (“Applicant”) to develop the approximately 45-acre vacant parcel located at the southwest corner of the Portola Avenue and Isabel Avenue intersection with a mixed-use residential/ commercial development project.
On March 13, 2023, the City Council adopted the 2023 to 2031 Livermore Housing Element, providing adequate sites to support CA’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) requirements.
On May 10, 2024, the City received an amended application from the Applicant for Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) 8659 – Subdivision (SUB) 22-008, Site Plan Design Review (SPDR) 24-003, Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 24-002, Consistency Determination (CD) 24-004, Master Sign Program Amendment (MSP) 24-001, Development Agreement (DA 22-001), Development Code Amendment (DCA) 24-001, and Specific Plan Amendment (SPPA) 24-001 (collectively, the “Project”). The Project would develop vacant land located southwest of the Isabel Avenue and Portola Avenue intersection, implementing the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan (“Project”). The Project includes 1,299 residential units, including 363 units affordable to individuals and families of lower, median, and moderate incomes, approximately 90,000 square feet of groundfloor commercial, office, and amenity space, an approximately 1.5-acre neighborhood park with an additional approximately 0.5 acres of public plaza space, new bike lanes, street improvements, street trees, public art, and utility infrastructure. The residential units consist of for sale townhomes and duplexes and mid-rise rental apartments. The Project also includes a 20-year Development Agreement between the City and Developer, a new community facilities district to finance Project infrastructure, and Specific Plan amendments. The Project is seeking relief under state housing/streamlining laws.
The City did not meet the Lower Income RHNA requirements for the Fifth RHNA Cycle (2014 – 2022).
The City’s existing Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan affordable policy does not require all for-sale development projects in the Isabel Neighborhood to provide Lower Income housing.
Providing adequate Lower Income affordable housing with each development project is critical to keep pace with Livermore’s RHNA requirements and to provide a range of housing opportunities for residents of all income levels. 2285
RESOLUTION NO. ________
The Project provides fewer Lower Income units than anticipated in the Livermore Housing Element’s Sites Inventory and is required to undergo a No Net Loss Review, as required by Government Code Section 65863.
Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Subarea 3a is an adequate site to accommodate the net loss, and changing its land use designation to residential would result in No Net Loss of Lower Income units, as required by Government Code Section 65863.
The City’s existing Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan master planning policy allows for averaging densities within and across Isabel Neighborhood subareas. The policy intends to provide development flexibility and further Specific Plan buildout.
Allowing for both density averaging and mixing of uses within and across subareas increases development flexibility and encourages development.
The proposed Specific Plan amendments would provide the City Council more options to secure Lower Income affordable housing, ensure future for-sale development projects within the Isabel Neighborhood provide Lower Income affordable units, satisfy No Net Loss requirements, and facilitate development flexibility and Specific Plan buildout.
On July 2, 2024, at a duly noticed public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the Project, heard public testimony, made the necessary findings, and adopted Planning Commission resolution No. 17-24, attached hereto as Exhibit A, recommending the City Council approve the Project.
On July 22, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Project, Planning Commission and staff recommendations, all public comments and testimony, and findings.
Together with this resolution, the City Council concurrently considered resolutions for Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) 8659 – Subdivision (SUB) 22-008, Site Plan Design Review (SPDR) 24-003, Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 24-002, Master Sign Program Amendment (MSP) 24-001, the Density Bonus request, No Net Loss, the Master Plan, and the Alternative Affordable Plan; and ordinances for: 1) the Project’s Development Agreement (DA) 22-001 application; and 2) the Project’s Development Code Amendment (DCA) 24-001 application.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that prior to taking action on the Project, and at a properly noticed public hearing, the City Council reviewed written and oral staff reports, conducted a public hearing on the Project and took testimony, and received into the record all pertinent documents related to the Project (collectively, the “Record Evidence”). The City Council’s determination is based on the Record Evidence, which is incorporated into this Resolution by reference.
2286
RESOLUTION NO. ________
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Livermore has considered the Record Evidence and adopted a resolution adopting an Addendum to the 2020 Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH #2016042039), consistent with the requirements of the Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Livermore has considered the findings made in Planning Commission Resolution No. 17-24, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the City Council hereby adopts the same findings by this reference and incorporates them as their own findings as part of this resolution, and as described below:
1. A Specific Plan may only be amended if first found consistent with the General Plan in compliance with Government Code Section 65454.
Findings: The Project proposes a Specific Plan Amendment to: 1) Amend INSP Policy P-LU-8 to permit master planning for the multi-subarea, master planned Project, which would enable the averaging of densities and land uses across the entire Project Site and enable the Project to align its conceptual master plan with the applicable land use requirements, goals and policies set forth in the INSP; 2) Amend INSP Policy P-LU-34 to enable the approval of the Project’s proposed alternative means of compliance with applicable City affordable housing requirements, and to replace the existing Specific Plan’s for-sale affordable requirements with the Citywide rates of 7.5% Lower and 7.5% Moderate; and 3) Amend the land use map in Specific Plan Subarea 3a to change the allowed Office Core uses to Residential Core uses. Each component of the Amendment is consistent with the General Plan, as follows:
Consistency with Isabel Neighborhood Designation
The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Isabel Neighborhood. The Isabel Neighborhood seeks to create a safe, vibrant, complete neighborhood that includes amenities for residents, workers, and students; ensure new development is compatible with existing development and community character; and support transit ridership and citywide goals for increased transportation options, housing choices, and economic vitality [Livermore General Plan Land Use Element, p. 3-23]. The proposed amendments would facilitate the proposed Project. The Project is consistent with the land use designation and implements the General Plan goals for the Isabel Neighborhood. For example, the Project would create a new complete and vibrant neighborhood, with a mixed-use main street commercial core served by a range of amenities, including a public park, public plazas, a private community pool, public art, and tree-lined streets.
The Project is also compatible with surrounding development since the building heights step down towards the existing residential and office uses 2287
RESOLUTION NO. ________
to the west and north and the buildings are designed with traditional architectural features common in Livermore, like brick, deep eave overhangs, and strong roof cornice elements.
The Project also supports transit ridership and mode shift by adding new bus stops and protected bike lanes, and by locating the project near the future Valley Link commuter train station and existing LAVTA bus lines.
Increased housing choices are provided for nearby students and faculty at Las Positas College and other individuals and families through a range of for-sale and for-rent units of differing sizes, including units reserved for individuals and families of very low to moderate incomes. Finally, the project would increase the area’s economic vitality by adding a mix of commercial and office uses, supporting jobs and a larger tax base, which implements the General Plan goals for the Isabel Neighborhood.
Consistency with Land Use Element
More specifically, the proposed Master Planning Policy amendment is consistent with the following General Plan Land Use Element policies:
Objective LU-1.1 Locate new development so as to create a consolidated pattern of urbanization, maximizing the use of existing public services and facilities.
Objective LU-1.2 Create neighborhoods that include a mix of uses and a range of housing types to meet the needs of all residents. Objective LU-3.1 Create neighborhoods near transit that include a mix of uses and a range of housing types to meet the needs of all residents.
In addition to allowing for averaging densities within and across Specific Plan subareas, the proposed Master Plan amendments would allow for distributing land uses as well. This provides more development flexibility and better allows for mixed-use neighborhoods, since uses can be located anywhere within a subarea, not only as prescribed in the conceptual Specific Plan land use map, effectively creating large mixed-use zones.
Further, mixing uses within the subarea prevents urban sprawl and creates more compact development, since uses are no longer required to be separated by Euclidean districts, but can be collocated. Collocated uses reduce Vehicles Miles Traveled, by ensuring daily needs and jobs (like commercial and office uses) are within walking distance of residential.
Consistency with Housing Element
Further, the proposed Inclusionary Policy amendments and the proposed land use map amendment are consistent with the following General Plan Housing Element policies:
2288
RESOLUTION NO. ________
Policy 1.2: Facilitate the development of a range of housing types through area planning efforts.
Policy 2.1: Facilitate the provision of affordable housing, infill development, and mixed-use projects in locations served by existing infrastructure, particularly transit services.
Policy 3.1: Facilitate the production of affordable housing through regulation of and incentives to new development.
The proposed Inclusionary Policy amendments would allow for a distinct Alternative Means of Compliance within the Specific Plan, similar to that allowed in the City’s Inclusionary Ordinance. The proposed Alternative Means of Compliance would allow the City Council to authorize a project’s affordable plan that deviates from the Inclusionary Ordinance requirements, so long as the alternative is economically equivalent. In this way, the amendment facilitates the production of affordable housing by allowing for more flexibility and novel approaches to housing production. For example, the Project proposes a creative approach whereby the market-rate for-sale units offset the financial costs of the required affordable housing. By untethering affordable housing from every product type, affordable units could be focused in portions of the site and additional affordable units could be provided, beyond that required. Further, the City Council still ensures the alternative proposal is economically equivalent to the requirements, guaranteeing each project will still provide sufficient affordable housing and a range of housing types.
The Amendment to the Inclusionary Policy would also modify the required affordability levels from 20% median and moderate, to 15% Lower and Moderate. Historically, Livermore has overperformed its RHNA numbers in the Median and Moderate categories, and underperformed in the Lower category. This modification ensures future for-sale product would be required to provide Lower Income units, ensuring Specific Plan policy better keeps pace with Livermore’s RHNA requirements and a range of housing types is provided. Further, the proposed land use map amendment would revise the Office Core designations within Subarea 3a to Residential Core, the densest most compact residential development in the City. Subarea 3a is directly adjacent to the future commuter rail Valley Link station. In this way, the land use changes would implement General Plan policy by promoting infill development near transit, facilitate a range of housing types by allowing for smaller units, and by providing more affordable units overall since the site is being upzoned from office uses.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, based upon the City Council’s own independent review of the Record Evidence and considerations, the City Council hereby approves Specific Plan Amendment (SPPA) 24-001, attached hereto as Exhibits B and C, for the Isabel Crossing Project.
2289
RESOLUTION NO. ________
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Livermore directs the Planning Manager to file a Notice of Determination with the Alameda County Clerk.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Livermore finds that the effective date of this resolution shall be the effective date of Development Agreement (DA) 22-001 and Development Code Amendment (DCA) 24-001.
The documents that constitute the record of proceedings upon which this decision is based can be found in the City Clerk’s Office, 1052 S. Livermore Avenue, in Livermore California.

Affordable Policy
P-LU-34: All new residential development shall either:
1. cComply with the City’s Inclusionary Ordinance (Section 10.06.050 of the Livermore Development Code),; or,
2. Comply with an Alternative Affordable Plan approved by the City Council through a Development Agreement. The Alternative Affordable Plan shall meet the following requirements:
a. May only be considered within the Specific Plan Core area (Subareas 3a, 3b, and 3c); and
EXHIBIT C
2297
b. Shall be, at a minimum, economically equivalent to the requirements of the Inclusionary Ordinance. The applicant shall demonstrate economic equivalence through reports, studies, or other analysis as determined by the Director.
The City’s Inclusionary Ordinance standards for the Specific Plan area are as follows: including at least 20 percent of units for each project shall be affordable (i.e., offered at below-market rates) in the Isabel Neighborhood. The affordable housing units for for-sale residential subdivisions must be sold to moderate- and median-income households. Of the total number of for-sale dwelling units (20 percent) set aside, at least five percent (5%) shall be reserved for sale to median-income households with the balance set aside for moderate-income households. Whenever the inclusionary requirement results in a fractional unit(s), the fractional unit(s) shall be combined to the nearest whole number and provided as median-income units.
1. For-Sale Units. A total of fifteen percent (15%) of all for-sale residential developments must be sold to low- and moderate-income households. Of the total number of dwelling units (15%) set aside, at least seven and one-half percent (7.5%) shall be reserved for sale to low-income households and at least seven and one-half percent (7.5%) for moderate-income households.
Whenever the inclusionary requirement results in an odd number of units, the majority of units shall be provided as low-income. Whenever the total number of affordable units required to be constructed includes a fraction of a unit, the payment of a proportional in-lieu fee shall satisfy that partial unit requirement.
Example: Calculation of the number of inclusionary units required for a 110-unit for sale residential development:
Required units reserved for moderate-income households: 110 units x 15% = 16.5 units Required units reserved for median-income households: 110 units x 5% = 5.5 units Combined fractional units: 0.5 unit + 0.5 unit = 1 unit Required units to be provided: Moderate-income households = 16 units Median-income households = 6 units
Example: Calculation of the number of inclusionary units required for a 112-unit-for-sale residential development:
Required units reserved for moderate income households: 112 units x 15% = 16.8 units Required units reserved for median-income households: 110 units x 5% = 5.6 units Combined fractional units: 0.8 unit + 0.6 unit = 1.4 units Required units to be provided: Moderate-income households = 16 units Median-income households = 6 units Remaining fractional unit to be paid in-lieu = 0.4 unit
EXHIBIT C
2298
2. Rental Units. A total of twenty percent (20%) of all rental residential developments The affordable housing units for rental residential projects must be designated or reserved for rent to very-low-, low-, median, and moderate-income households. Of the total number of rental dwelling units (20 percent) set aside, at least six percent (6%) shall be reserved for rental to verylow income households, seven percent (7%) shall be reserved for rental to low income households four percent (4%) shall be reserved for rental to median-income households, and three percent (3%) shall be reserved for rental to moderate-income households. Whenever the inclusionary requirements result in a fractional unit(s), the fractional unit(s) shall be combined to the nearest whole number and provided as very low-income units. Whenever the total number of affordable units required to be constructed includes a fraction of a unit, the payment of a proportional in-lieu fee shall satisfy that partial unit requirement.
Example: Calculation of the number of inclusionary units required for a 110-unit rental residential development:
Required units reserved for very-low-income households: 110 x 6% = 6.6 units Required units reserved for low-income households: 110 x 7% = 7.7 units Required units reserved for median-income households: 110 x 4% = 4.4 units Required units reserved for moderate-income households: 110 x 3% = 3.3 units Combined fractional units: 0.6 unit + 0.7 unit + 0.4 unit + 0.3 unit = 2 units Required units to be provided: Very-low-income households = 8 units Low-income households = 7 units Median-income households = 4 units Moderate-income households = 3 units Example: Calculation of the number of inclusionary units required for a 112-unit rental residential development:
Required units for very-low-income households: 112 x 6% = 6.72 units Required units reserved for low-income households: 112 x 7% = 7.84 units Required units reserved for median-income households: 112 x 4% = 4.48 units Required units reserved for moderate-income households: 112 x 3% = 3.36 units Combined fractional units: 0.72 unit + 0.84 unit = 0.48 unit + 0.36 unit = 2.4 units Required units to be provided: Very-low-income households = 8 units Low-income households = 7 units Median-income households = 4 units Moderate-income households = 3 units Remaining fractional unit to be paid in-lieu = 0.4 unit
Under the City’s Inclusionary Ordinance, affordable housing units shall be built on site and integrated within new residential developments unless the City Council approves an alternative method of compliance. For projects that utilize land dedication as a compliance method, the dedicated land must

2299
be located within the Isabel Neighborhood area and equivalent in actual value to the affordable units it is replacing.

C. The Developer is the owner of the property comprised of approximately 46 acres of undeveloped land located at the southwest corner of Isabel Avenue and Portola Avenue in the City of Livermore, County of Alameda, County Assessor Numbers 903-0010-054-00l; 903-0010-053- 00; 903-0010-052-00; 903-0010-047-00; 903-0010-046-00; 903-0010-048-00; 903-0010-049- 00; 903-0010-050-00; 903-0010-051-00; 903-0010-037-02; 903-0010-035-01, more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“Property”).
D. The Property is located within the Isabel Neighborhood that is identified in the City’s Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan (“INSP”). The INSP establishes the regulatory framework guiding private and public development and redevelopment within the Isabel Neighborhood planning area until 2040. The INSP planning area covers 1,138 acres that are located in the northwest part of the City. The objectives of the INSP include: create a safe, vibrant, complete neighborhood that includes amenities for residents, workers, and students; ensure new development that is compatible with existing development and community character; support transit ridership and citywide goals for increased transportation options, housing choices, and economic vitality; and support the Valley Link project through development of a complete neighborhood. The complete neighborhood envisioned by the INSP has a complete mix of housing, commercial and office uses, and community uses that provide residents and workers with easy well-connected access to everyday services such as grocery stores and restaurants. The INSP contains a subarea diagram, Figure 2-3, (“INSP Subarea Diagram”) that identifies the plan’s subareas and corresponding land uses for property owners to use as a tool to prepare master plans for those subareas, with density averaged and land uses distributed across the subarea rather than at the parcel level, which is attached hereto as Exhibit K.
E. The Property is identified as subareas 3b and 3c within the INSP. Subareas 3b and 3c are planned by the INSP for a mix of uses, predominantly focused on higher density mixedincome residential uses with robust affordable housing requirements. Subareas 3b and 3c also include a neighborhood park and other public open space and recreational areas, in addition to focused commercial and retail uses. The INSP encourages developers to create “Master Plans” for different residential subareas to promote efficient and orderly development.
The Developer proposes to develop the Property into a mixed residential and commercial development consisting of approximately 1,299 dwelling units, approximately 75,000 square feet of commercial uses along a new commercial main street, public open space uses and amenities including a neighborhood park, community center, and public bike paths. The 1,299 dwelling units provided by the project include 363 new covenanted affordable units of which 178 will be provided as Low and Very Low Income affordable rental units, 128 Moderate- and Median-Income affordable units, and 57 Moderate and Median Income for-sale units. The Project’s residential uses are provided within townhomes, multi-family apartments, and stacked flats provided with a variety of product types and sub-types. The Project also provides over two acres of neighborhood park and public recreational spaces, public plazas, public meeting places, and a location for a new access point for the future Valley Link Isabel Train Station. The project will also provide new streets, street lighting,
EXHIBIT B
2311
landscaping, and other public infrastructure and improvements as described herein and in the conceptual land use plan attached as Exhibit B (“Project”).
F. The Project furthers the INSP’s goal to provide approved higher-density residential and other approved uses in an efficient and orderly manner and provides a master plan for INSP subareas 3b and 3c by creating nineteen (19) distinct planning areas (“Master Planning Areas”), which are also depicted in Exhibit B, hereto. The Master Planning Areas proposed for the Project include a wide variety of higher density mixed-income housing product types and sub-product types and designs, in addition to park and public open space areas and commercial uses, and include the following, as further depicted on Exhibit B:

v. Comply with a change in City law, regulations, plans or policies that is one or more of the following:
1. Specifically mandated by state or federal law, or by any regional governmental agency that has legal authority over the City under state law or a joint powers agreement; or
2. A result of or in response to state or federal law, or regional agency action, made necessary in order for the City to avoid losing or not receiving substantial funding or other substantial public benefits or facilities that would be available to the City only if it makes such a change; or
3. Specifically mandated by, or necessary for compliance with or implementation of the terms of any permit, entitlement or other authorization necessary for the development of the Property issued or granted to the City, County and/or
Developer by any federal, state or regional agency; and,
4. Comply with the Project conditions of approval, including all required mitigation measures from subsequent environmental review associated with, for all subsequent Project approvals that are consistent with this Agreement (“Subsequent Project Approvals”).
c. Developer acknowledges pursuant to and consistent with Government Code section
EXHIBIT B
2317
65866, this Agreement does not prevent the City in subsequent actions applicable to the Property, from applying new rules, regulations, and policies which do not conflict with the rules, regulations, and policies applicable to the Property as set forth herein, nor shall this Agreement prevent the City from denying or conditionally approving a subsequent development project application on the basis of these existing or new rules, regulations, and policies.
d. Developer further acknowledges that execution of this Agreement by the City does not constitute approval of any required permits, applications, or allocations, and in no way limits the discretion of the City in the permit, allocation, and approval process in accordance with the limitations set forth herein.
e. City agrees that Developer, in Developer’s sole discretion may reconstruct the Project, or any portion thereof, within the Term of this Agreement should it become necessary or desirable due to natural disaster, changes in seismic requirements, acts of God, acts of terrorism, or damage to work in progress by reason of fire, floods or other casualties, commercial infeasibility, or functional obsolescence. Any such reconstruction shall be subject to the Core Vested Regulations, and shall comply with the Project Approvals or subsequent Project Approvals, as applicable to the Project of portion thereof to be reconstructed, and shall comply with the technical building codes existing at the time of such reconstruction.
8. Developer Obligations.
a. The Developer agrees to all the terms, conditions, and covenants in connection with the Project that are set forth in the conditions of approval for the Entitlements as well as the Subsequent Project Approvals.
b. Subsequent to the approval of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8659 the Developer will record large lot Final Maps for all Master Planning Areas in accordance with the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code section 66410, et seq.) and the Livermore Development Code. Following any transfers of Master Planning Areas to successors who would construct the Planning Areas in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, said successors would prepare in-tract improvement plans and record small lot Final Maps or Condominium Maps for the respective Planning Areas.
c. As required by the Livermore Development Code and the Subdivision Map, the City’s approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8659 is conditioned upon the Developer constructing improvements and making dedications to the City to ensure the parcels created:
i. Are provided with adequate public services and utilities, including any appropriate cable television services, to meet the needs of future residents or users;
ii. Are of adequate design in all respects in compliance with this Development Code;
EXHIBIT B
2318
iii. Act to mitigate any potential environmental impacts specified in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or by other means; and iv. Provide for proper grading and erosion control, including the prevention of sedimentation or damage to off-site property.
d. Developer shall provide adequate security for all public improvements required by Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8659 (“Master Project Infrastructure”) when acquiring the City’s approval for said map, and then prior to the issuance of any building permit as set forth in Exhibit C, Timing and Processing, construct such Master Project Infrastructure. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Developer from transferring the Developer obligations herein to a third-party developer or builder, in accordance with Section 10. To the extent any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the Conditions of Approval for the Vesting Tentative Tract Map, the Conditions of Approval shall control. (BIA v. Patterson (2008) 162 Cal.App.4th 1068.)
e. Developer shall pay all applicable fees as set forth in Section 7(b)(1) in the amounts that are in effect when the payment is made. A copy of the processing and development impact fees applicable on a citywide basis are attached as Exhibit F (“City Fee Schedule”.) The amount specified for each processing and development impact fee reflects the amount in effect as of the Effective Date and are simply included for reference, and the Developer shall pay the amount corresponding to those fees that are in effect when the payment is made. Unless new Development Impact Fees that are adopted by the City after the Effective Date validly qualify as a Permitted Change in Applicable Regulations, they shall not apply to the Project or to the development of the Project, and shall not be a payment obligation of Developer, without Developer’s prior written consent.
f. Developer shall use good faith efforts to the maximum extent allowed by law to require all persons and entities providing bulk lumber, concrete, structural steel and pre- fabricated building components, such as roof trusses, to be used in connection with the construction and development of, or incorporated into, the Project, to: (a) obtain a use tax direct payment permit; (b) elect to obtain a subcontractor permit for the job site of a contract valued at Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or more; or (c) otherwise designate the Property as the place of use of material used in the construction of the Project in order to have the local portion of the sales and use tax distributed directly to the City instead of through the county-wide pool. Developer shall instruct each of its subcontractors to cooperate with the City to ensure the full local sales/use tax is allocated to City. To assist City in its efforts to ensure that the full amount of such local sales/use tax is allocated to the City, Developer shall:
i. Provide City with an annual spreadsheet, which includes a list of all subcontractors with contracts in excess of the amount set forth above, a description of all applicable work, and the dollar value of such subcontracts.
City may use said spreadsheet to contact each subcontractor who may qualify for local allocation of use taxes to the City.
EXHIBIT B
2319
ii. Include in all contracts with a general contractor, project manager for construction, and all subcontractors the following language:
“The Developer is requiring that all contractors and subcontractors on the jobsite participate in directing local tax to the City of Livermore wherever possible and consistent with legal requirements. This direction is not expected to increase the contractor’s tax liability; however, it will increase the percentage amount of tax revenue the City will receive. The Developer is requiring that the contractors and subcontractors work together with the City officials and consultants to achieve an equitable outcome.
The Developer will require that the contractors and subcontractors exercise their option to obtain a California Department of Tax & Fee Administration construction site sub permit for the jobsite and allocate all eligible use tax payments to the City of Livermore. Prior to any construction on-site, the Developer will require that the contractor and subcontractor provide the City of Livermore with either a copy of their sub-permit that shows their CDTFA account number or a signed statement that sales and use tax does not apply to their portion of the project. The Developer will provide the City and their consultant with a list of subcontractors associated with the project.” g. The precise timing and sequencing of Project development is influenced by numerous factors such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion, and other economic and practical factors, some of which are not within the Developer’s control. Nevertheless, the Developer understands the INSP’s need for the Developer to deliver certain key Project elements to the City and the Livermore community as part of the consideration for this Agreement to ensure the development of a complete neighborhood contemplated by the INSP for residential and commercials places for residents and workers and easy well-connected access to everyday services. Therefore, the Developer agrees to all the terms, conditions, and covenants for the Project that are set forth in the Entitlements and the below Exhibits, and further agrees to construct and complete the following Project elements consistent with the schedule and/or sequencing for performance for each as set forth in corresponding Exhibits.
h. The City has extensively reviewed the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, in particular, has specifically considered and approved the impact and benefits of the Project upon the regional welfare. The terms and conditions of this Agreement have been found by the City to be fair, just, and reasonable, and to provide appropriate benefits to the City. This Agreement and the pursuit of the Project will serve the best interests, and the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents and invitees of the City and the general public. This Agreement will help ensure a desirable and functional community environment; provide effective and efficient development of public facilities, infrastructure and services in the vicinity of the Property; help maximize effective utilization of resources within the City, increase City tax revenues; and provide other substantial public benefits to the City and its resident by achieving the goals and purposes of the Government Code, the General Plan, the INSP and Livermore Development Code, which particular benefits include, without
EXHIBIT B
2320
limitation: (i) the development of a mixed-use multi-family housing development with significant dedicated affordable housing, including for-sale affordable units; (ii) provision of new housing that helps meet State and regional housing production goals; (iii) provision of substantial public revenue in the form of impact fees and increased real property and sales tax; (iv) the provision of a land use compatible with the physical nature of the Property and the surrounding area; (v) new infrastructure for alternative transportation including dedicated bicycle lanes, and other public improvements; and (vi) financial contributions from Developer to the City’s Social Opportunity Endowment Fund, Community Benefit Fund, and Springtown Open Space Improvements. The community benefits of the Agreement are set forth further in the below Exhibits. The Developer agrees to all the terms, conditions, and covenants in connection with the Project that are set forth in the following Exhibits:
i. Exhibit C Master Project Infrastructure and Site Improvements sets for the infrastructure improvement requirements and the timeframes in which the Developer shall complete them.
ii. Exhibit D Affordable Housing Obligations sets forth the Developer’s obligations for construction of affordable housing within the Project site. iii. Exhibit E Commercial Uses sets forth the Developer’s obligations for constructing a Temporary Commercial Activation site and for making a good faith effort to enter into lease agreements for specified commercial uses within the Project site.
iv. Exhibit J Community Facilities District (CFD) Provisions sets forth the Developer’s obligations with respect to formation of a New Facilities CFD and Maintenance CFD.
v. Exhibit P Public Art sets forth the Developer’s obligations to prepare a comprehensive Art Master Plan that covers the entire project site and provides for how the Developer’s Public Art obligation for the project will be met.
vi. Exhibit Q Financial Contributions sets forth cash contributions the Developer shall pay, in addition to other consideration provided by Developer for this Agreement, to the Social Opportunity Endowment Fund, Community Benefit Fund, Public Art Fund, and to City Park Improvements.
i. The City and Developer shall enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit O.
j. As permitted by Government Code section 65865.2, Developer shall commence and complete the “Master Project Infrastructure” as set forth in Exhibit C. k. The Developer and any Successor(s) shall construct the Project in accordance with this Agreement and the Project Approvals for the Project identified in Exhibit B, including with respect to the approved architectural design, landscape design, site design, residential density, non-residential FAR and coverage, and any other design
EXHIBIT B
2321
feature, or development standard, subject to the Subsequent Approvals provisions, below.
9. City Obligations.
a. City agrees to all the terms, conditions, and covenants in connection with the Project that are set forth in the conditions of approval for the Entitlements as well as the Subsequent Project Approvals.
b. Subsequent Approvals for the Project
i. In connection with any future discretionary City approvals required by code for the Project, including approvals that only apply in one or more Planning Areas described in Recital F and depicted in Exhibit B, without limitation, Site Plan Review and Design Review (collectively “Subsequent Approvals”), if the Director or his or her designee determines that the request for a Subsequent Approval for Site Plan Review or Design Review substantially conforms with Exhibit B, the Site Plan Review or Design Review approval may be issued by the Director on behalf of the City in accordance with Livermore Development Code Section 9.07.030.B. Otherwise, the Director may refer a Site Plan Review or Design Review Subsequent Approval request to the Planning Commission. The City shall accept for processing and timely review and act on all applications for Subsequent Approvals in as expeditious a manner as is reasonably possible.
ii. The City acknowledges that Developer may require minor adjustments to the configuration or size of individual lots or parcels within a Planning Area in the VTTM, or infrastructure elements depicted thereon, to be modified from that shown on the VTTM in any Final Maps, which may be necessitated by changes occasioned by the final permitting and design of a Planning Area within the Project that would come after this Agreement. To facilitate development of the Project, the Parties agree that the size and configuration of the proposed lots or parcels and dimensions and/or locations of improvements within a Planning Area may be so adjusted at the Developer’s discretion, subject to the provisions of and the approvals required by the Subdivision Map Act and the Livermore Development Code, and provided that the aggregate total density and intensity of the Project Site are not increased, and the permitted uses and design thereon are not substantially modified from those provided in the Project Approvals, and the parcels and lots and improvements thereon are in accordance with the Applicable Rules that apply to project upon approval including but not limited to INSP, Citywide Design Standards and Guidelines, Development Code and Municipal Code regulations., including without limitation, all minimum lot size, lot configuration, set-back and construction standards set forth therein. iii.If the Director or his/her designee finds that a proposed amendment or modification to the Project or any portion thereof does not conflict with any material terms of this Agreement, Applicable Law, and state law requirements, the amendment shall be determined to be an “Administrative
EXHIBIT B
2322
Project Amendment” and the City Manager, the Director, or a designee may approve the Administrative Project Amendment on behalf of the City without notice and public hearing. The Parties herein agree and recognize that this assessment by the City is objective in nature and therefore an Administrative Project Amendment shall be a ministerial agency approval.
1. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, lot line adjustments, minor increases or decreases in the intensity, scale or scope of the Project, minor alterations in vehicle circulation patterns or vehicle access points, substitutions of comparable landscaping for any landscaping shown on any final development plan or landscape plan, minor variations in the location of structures that do not substantially alter the design concepts of the Project, swapping out of building materials for replacement materials with similar appearance and quality, variations in the location or installation of utilities and other infrastructure connections or facilities that do not substantially alter the design concepts of the Project, and minor adjustments to the Project or Property legal description shall be treated as Administrative Project Amendments.
iv. The Developer reserves the right to apply to the City for permits to develop portions of the Project in a manner which may be materially inconsistent with the Project as described herein and approved with the Project Approvals (“Major Project Modifications”). In such event, such portion of the Project shall be reviewed pursuant to the rules, regulations, and procedures of the City in effect at the time the Developer makes application to the City for such Major Project Modifications, including, without limitation, at the City’s discretion, to require an amendment to this Agreement or a new development agreement for the affected portions of the Project. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to require the City to approve a Major Project Modification. v. As a result of constructability or financing issues, the Developer may reduce the quantity of Project residential units as follows, as approved by the Director:
1. Planning Areas S1 and C2-A. The Developer or any
Successor(s) may reduce the quantity of units in Planning Areas S1 and C2-A, if the following findings can be made:
A. The Project shall provide a density of at least 50
dwelling units per acre in Planning Areas S1 and C2-
A.
B. The Project shall provide at least 1,236 total housing units, which is collectively the minimum required in
Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Subareas 3b and
3c.
EXHIBIT B
2323
C. The quantity and affordability levels of all affordable housing units in all Planning Areas shall remain as
described in this Agreement and the Project Plans
(Exhibit B) and shall not be reduced or diminished.
D. The building footprints, architectural style, and
exterior design of each building shall substantially
conform to the Project Plans (Exhibit B) and shall not
be modified unless approved by the City under this
Section of the Agreement.
2. All Other Planning Areas. The Developer or any Successor(s) may reduce the quantity of units in any other Planning Area, if the following findings can be made:
A. The quantity of units to be reduced in any Planning
Area shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the total
quantity of approved units for that Planning Area.
B. The Project shall provide at least 1,236 total housing units, which is collectively the minimum required in
Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Subareas 3b and
3c.
C. The quantity and affordability levels of all affordable housing units in all Planning Areas shall remain as
described in this Exhibit and the Project Plans (Exhibit B) and shall not be reduced or diminished.
D. The building footprints, architectural style, and
exterior design of each building shall substantially
conform to the Project Plans (Exhibit B) and shall not
be modified unless approved by the City under this
Section of the Agreement.
vi. The City has conducted extensive environmental review of the Project and has certified an Environmental Impact Report, a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, and an Addendum that fully analyze the potential environmental impacts of the Project consistent with the requirements of CEQA. The City intends that future discretionary approvals for the Project, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be subject to CEQA’s subsequent review provisions under Public Resources Code, Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15162 and 15164, whereby any additional environmental review for such future discretionary approvals shall only be required where “major revisions” to the prior EIRs for the Project are required, as defined by CEQA.
c. Community Facilities District
EXHIBIT B
2324
i. The Property, or a portion thereof, is located within City of Livermore Community Facilities District No, 2016-2 (the “Existing CFD”). In accordance with this Section 9(c), and the Community Facilities District Financing Parameters set forth in Exhibit J attached hereto, Developer desires to form a new Community Facilities District with respect to the Project (the “New Facilities CFD”) for the Property pursuant to the Mello Roos Community Facilities Act of 1983, California Government Code, Sections 53311 et seq., as the same may be amended from time to time, (“Mello Roos Act”), that, among other things, refunds a portion of the outstanding bonds of the Existing CFD, and pays the prepayment penalty for those bonds, in accordance with Section 53313.5(g) of the Mello Roos Act, thereby allowing for the release of the lien of the Existing CFD from the Property, and finances all of the facilities and improvements and fees described in Exhibit J, attached hereto (the “Community Facilities District (CFD) Provisions”) and Exhibit S, attached hereto (the “Proposed CFD Eligible Infrastructure”). ii. At such time during the term of this Agreement as Developer submits a written request to the City Manager to establish the New Facilities CFD, the City Manager shall notify Developer whether the City is willing to establish the New Facilities CFD in accordance with Section C of Exhibit J or prefers the Developer to work with a joint powers authority to establish the CFD in accordance with Section D of Exhibit J, provided, however, that, at Developer’s election, Developer shall have the right to pursue the adoption of a CFD with a joint powers authority instead of the City. iii. The Developer and the City will cooperate to provide for annexation of the Property to the Isabel Maintenance CFD (as defined in Exhibit J) in accordance with Section B of Exhibit J.
d. Upon satisfaction of all Developer’s and the subsequent owners’ obligations related to the Property, or a portion of the Property, the City shall record a Notice of Termination for each affected parcel in a form satisfactory to the City Attorney in the Office of the Alameda County Recorder.
e. The City shall refund Developer Transferable Development Credits and Traffic Impact Fees as required pursuant to Exhibits C, E, and I.
10. Binding Effect; Recordation; Assignment.
a. This Agreement is binding upon, and the benefits of the Agreement shall inure to, all successors in interest to the Parties to this Agreement as set forth in Government Code section 65868.5
b. This Agreement shall:
i. be recorded in the office of the County Recorder;
ii. run with the land; and, shall
EXHIBIT B
2325
iii. be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, administrators, assigns, executors, and successors in interest and in title to the Property and all portions thereof.
c. Every contract, deed, or other instrument hereafter executed covering or conveying a portion of the Property shall be held conclusively to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to the covenants and restrictions in this Agreement, regardless of whether such covenants or restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instrument, unless the City expressly terminates the Agreement as to the portion of the Property transferred as set forth in Section 13.
d. Developer shall have the right to sell, transfer, or assign the Property or any portion or Planning Area thereof (provided that no such partial transfer shall violate the Subdivision Map Act, Government Code, Sections 66410, et seq., as the same may be amended from time to time) to any person, partnership, joint venture, firm, or corporation at any time during the Term of this Agreement, together with the rights granted to and obligations imposed upon the Property pursuant to this Agreement and as set forth in Section 15. Developer shall give, prior to closing on any such transfer, written notice to the City of its intention to assign or transfer any of its interests, rights or obligations under this Agreement and a complete disclosure of the identity of the assignee or transferee, including copies of the Articles of Incorporation in the case of corporations and the names of partners in the case of partnerships. Any failure by Developer to provide said notice shall be curable in accordance with the provisions of Section 20. Any successor to Developer that owns or otherwise holds a controlling property interest and is assigned rights, obligations and requirements under this Agreement for only a portion of the Project or a Planning Area(s) that is less than the entire Property shall only have the rights, obligations and requirements of this Agreement that are, by its express terms, applicable to the Planning Area(s) or portions thereof of the Project owned or otherwise controlled by that successor of Developer.
e. Subject to the notice requirements herein, where the Developer sells or otherwise transfers title to any portion of the Property that includes Master Project Infrastructure, as described in Exhibit C (“Master Project Infrastructure Timing, Repair and Replacement and Impact Fee Special Provisions”), that subsequent owner and Developer shall be jointly and severally liable for any obligations under this Agreement as to that portion of the Property, unless Developer is released by City, which release shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as the subsequent owner provides City with security equivalent to any security previously provided by Developer to secure performance of its obligations hereunder, if any.
f. Subject to the notice requirements herein, where the Developer sells or otherwise transfers title to any portion of the Property that includes one or more Planning Areas but does not include Master Project Infrastructure, so long as the subsequent owner provides City with security equivalent to any security previously provided by Developer to secure performance of its obligations hereunder, if any, City shall release Developer from any further obligations or requirements under this Agreement with respect to the construction of improvements within those transferred Planning Areas.
EXHIBIT B
2326
g. The provisions of this Agreement shall constitute covenants which shall run with the land comprising the Property for the benefit thereof and as a burden thereon, and the burdens and benefits hereof shall bind and inure to the benefit of all assignees, transferees, and successors to the Parties hereto.
11. Mortgagee Protections.
a. Developer shall have the same right to encumber Developer’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement and the Property that Developer would have absent this Agreement, pursuant to one or more Mortgages, provided that each such Mortgage is given for the purpose of securing funds to be used for financing the acquisition of the Property or any portion thereof, the construction of improvements thereon, and any other expenditures reasonably necessary and appropriate to develop the Property.
b. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be binding on and for the benefit of any person who acquires title to the property or any portion thereof by foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, lease termination or expiration or other involuntary transfer under a Mortgage. c. The City hereby agrees to cooperate in including in this Agreement by suitable amendment from time to time any provision which may reasonably be requested by any proposed Mortgagee for the purpose of allowing such Mortgagee reasonable means to protect or preserve the lien and security interest of the Mortgage hereunder as well as such other documents containing terms and provisions customarily required by Mortgagees (taking into account the customary requirements of their participants, syndication partners or ratings agencies) in connection with any such financing. The City agrees to execute and deliver (and to acknowledge, if necessary, for recording purposes) any agreement necessary to effectuate any such amendment; provided, however, that any such amendment shall not in any way materially adversely affect any rights of any Party under this Agreement. If there is any conflict between this Section and any other provision contained in this Agreement, this Section shall control. Nothing herein is intended to or shall require the City to approve any amendments to this Agreement unrelated to what is reasonably necessary to enable a Mortgagee to appropriately protect its lien or security interest, nor shall the City be required to take any action that may risk the priority of this Agreement as an encumbrance against the Property through the Term of this Agreement.
d. If the City receives notice from a mortgagee requesting a copy of any notice of default given hereunder and specifying the address for services thereof, and the said mortgagee has recorded a copy of such request in the official records of Alameda County in the manner required under Civil Code, Section 2924b with respect to Requests for Notices of Default, then the City shall deliver to such mortgagee, concurrently with service thereon to the applicable Party, any notice given to the Party with respect to any claim that such Party has not complied in good faith with the terms of this Agreement or has committed an event of default. Each mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, for a period of ninety (90) days after the
EXHIBIT B
2327
receipt of such notice to cure or remedy, or to commence to cure or remedy, the claimed default or act of noncompliance set forth in the notice. If the default is of a nature which can only be remedied or cured by such mortgagee upon obtaining possession, such mortgagee may, but is not obligated to seek to obtain possession with diligence and continuity through foreclosure, a receiver or otherwise, and may, but is not obligated to, thereafter remedy or cure the default or noncompliance within thirty (30) days after obtaining possession. If any such default or noncompliance cannot, with diligence, be remedied or cured within such thirty (30) day period, then such mortgagee shall have such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to remedy or cure such default or noncompliance if such mortgagee commences that cure during such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter diligently pursues and completes such cure.
12. Amendment or Extension. As set forth in Development Agreement Statutes, including Government Code section 65868, this Agreement may be amended by the Parties, including amendments of, or extensions to, the Term set forth in Section 4 consistent with the procedures set forth in the Development Agreement Statutes and the Livermore Development Code, as they are amended from time-to-time. Developer shall send to the City a notice specifying the requested amendment or extension, and obtain the City’s written consent, before submitting an application to the City to amend or extend this Agreement pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Development Agreement Statutes and the Livermore Development Code.
13. Cancellation; Termination.
a. This Agreement may be canceled or terminated, in whole or in part, as follows:
i. By formal application by any Party to cancel or terminate this Agreement as set forth in and as is consistent with the Development Agreement Statutes, including Government Code section 65868.
ii. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
1. Expiration of this Agreement’s Term pursuant to Section 4;
2. The release of the Developer, or a portion of the Property, from this Agreement as set forth in Sections 10(d) through 10(f), which cancellation or termination shall only be as to the Parties and as to the portion of the Property transferred as specified;
3. The dedication of any portion of the Property to a public agency provided the termination shall only be as to the dedicated portion of the Property; and
4. The conveyance of any portion of the Property to a
homeowner’s association for which all improvements
required by the Project Approvals and Subsequent Project Approvals for that portion of the Property have been
EXHIBIT B
2328
completed or guaranteed to the City’s satisfaction, but the termination shall only be as to that portion of property so conveyed.
b. Cancellation or termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section shall not constitute termination of any Project Approvals or Subsequent Project Approvals approved by the City for the Property prior to the date of cancellation or termination. c. In the event this Agreement is terminated, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations of Developer set forth in Section 16 (No Damages Relief), Section 24 (Legal Actions), and Section 25 (Attorneys’ Fees), except that the provisions of this Agreement that are specified to survive termination of this Agreement shall run with the land in perpetuity and remain in full force and effect following such termination. d. The cancellation or termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part, pursuant to this section shall be processed by the City consistent with the requirements in the Development Agreement Statutes.
14. Reserved.
15. Release Upon Transfer.
a. As to Developer upon Transfer. Upon the sale, transfer, or assignment (collectively “Transfer”) of Developer’s title to any portion of the Property, then Developer and the subsequent owner of the portion of the Property transferred are jointly and severally liable for the Developer’s obligations under this Agreement as to that portion of the Property transferred unless Developer is released by City as provided in this subsection, which release shall not be unreasonably withheld, and which release must be conditioned on the subsequent owner providing the City with security equivalent to any security previously provided by Developer to secure performance of the obligations hereunder for the portion of the Property transferred. Developer shall be released by City from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Property transferred provided: (i) Developer (or transferee) is not in default of this Agreement at the time of the transfer; (ii) Developer has provided prior written notice of the transfer to the City, subject to cure under Section 20, below; and, (iii) with respect to the transfer of any parcel or lot of the Property that has not been fully developed as contemplated by the Project, the intended transferee executes and delivers to the City a written assumption agreement in a form acceptable to the City in which (aa) the name and address of the transferee is set forth, and (bb) the transferee expressly assumes all obligations of the Developer under this Agreement as to the portion of the Property to be transferred. Failure to deliver a written assumption to the City prior to transfer of the portion of the Property to the subsequent owner shall not negate, modify, or otherwise affect the liability of any transferee or the Developer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. b. As to Property transferred. Upon a Transfer, as defined in subsection (a) above, of title to any portion of the Property, the subsequent owner of the portion of the Property transferred may request release of that portion of the Property from the
EXHIBIT B
2329
obligations under this Agreement, which release shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that: (i) Developer (or transferee) is not in default of this Agreement at the time of the transfer; (ii) Developer has provided prior written notice of the transfer to the City; and, (iii) with respect to the transfer of any parcel or lot of the Property that has not been fully developed as contemplated by the Project, the intended transferee executes and delivers to the City a written assumption agreement in a form acceptable to the City in which (aa) the name and address of the transferee is set forth, and (bb) the transferee expressly assumes all obligations of the Developer under this Agreement as to the portion of the Property to be transferred. Failure to deliver a written assumption to the City prior to transfer of the portion of the Property to the subsequent owner shall not negate, modify, or otherwise affect the liability of any transferee or the Developer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
16. No Damages Relief. The parties acknowledge that neither Party would have entered into this Agreement had it been exposed to damage claims from the other Party for any breach thereof. As such, the Parties agree that in no event shall either Party be entitled to recover damages against the other Party for breach of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by law, specific enforcement of this Agreement, including specific performance of Developer’s payment obligations set forth in Section 8 and Exhibit F, and the City’s Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) and Transferable Development Credit (TDC) obligations set forth in Exhibit F, is the proper and desirable remedy.
17. Subsequent Legislation.
a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any initiatives, referenda, moratoria, or amendments to the Core Vested Regulations adopted or enacted after the Effective Date that contain “slow/no growth” measures, limit or in any way control the provision of public services or utilities to the Property, or which by their terms are intended to or by operation have such effect, shall have no application to the Project. i. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v.
City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over the parties’ agreement, it is the Parties’ intent to avoid that result by acknowledging, that unless provided for in this Agreement, Developer shall have the right (without obligation) to develop the Property in such order and at such rate and at such times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment, subject to the terms, requirements and conditions of the Entitlements and this Agreement. Developer will use its best efforts, in accordance with its own business judgment and taking into consideration market conditions and other economic factors influencing Developer’s business decision, to commence or to continue development, and to develop the Project in a regular, progressive, and timely manner in accordance with the terms, requirements and conditions of the Entitlements and this Agreement. Nothing in this subsection concerning the expectations set by the Parties for the timing of development in response to Pardee Construction Co.
EXHIBIT B
2330
v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984) is intended, nor shall it be construed, to relieve Developer from any time related requirements set forth in the schedules of performance for specified Project elements, the Subdivision Map Act, the Project Approvals, or the Subsequent Project Approvals.
b. The Parties agree that the terms and conditions in this Agreement, and the Financial Contributions and amenities provided by Developer to the City for this Agreement, were negotiated based upon the specific Project contemplated by the Agreement and in conjunction with housing law in effect at the time of Project approval. In the event the Developer or any Successor(s) seek to utilize additional housing laws adopted by the State of California to alter, amend, or terminate the applicable development standards, approved uses, or the material terms of this Agreement for Planning Areas C1-B, C2-A, S1, C1-C, C2-C or TS as of the Effective Date of this Agreement (“Commercial Block Standards”) which were specifically negotiated to ensure the Project in the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Area has the appropriate mix of uses for a complete neighborhood, then the specific changes will be evaluated by the City pursuant to provisions of Section 9(b), regarding Subsequent Approvals for the Project, as set forth therein, to determine whether the changes constitute an Administrative Project Amendment, a Major Project Modification, an amendment to this Agreement, or a new development agreement. If the change in state housing law nonetheless enables revisions to Commercial Block Standards in a manner that eliminates the commercial uses, plazas or affordable housing for those areas, then the Developer or any Successor must still deliver the undelivered commercial tenant spaces, affordable units, and plazas to the City as part of any new development agreement and the City may eliminate its Fee Reduction obligations under Section 8 of Exhibit E, Commercial Uses, for the Planning Area in which such changes are sought.
18. Force Majeure.
a. The Term of this Agreement shall be extended by, and the performance by any Parties of their obligations hereunder (other than for payment of money) shall be excused during, any period of “Force Majeure” as hereinafter defined. “Force Majeure” means a delay caused by any war, insurrection, acts of God, acts of public enemy, labor disputes or strikes, labor or materials shortages or embargoes, pandemic, fire, unusual delay in transportation, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes or extreme wind or other adverse weather conditions not reasonably foreseeable by Developer, third party litigation or referenda against the Project, restrictions imposed by other government agencies that reasonably prevent the Project from going forward, or other similar basis for excused performance not within the reasonable control of the Party, excluding financial inability to perform.
b. An extension of time for Force Majeure shall only be for the period of the delay, which period shall commence to run from the time of the notification of the delay by the Party requesting the extension to the other Party. The Party requesting an extension of time under this Section shall give notice promptly following knowledge of the delay to the other Party. If, however, notice by the Party claiming such
EXHIBIT B
2331
extension is sent to the other Party more than thirty (30) days after knowledge of the commencement of the delay, the period shall commence to run upon the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days prior to the giving of such notice or (ii) the date that the other Party received knowledge of the events giving rise to the delay. c. The Force Majeure provisions in this Section do not apply to any proceedings with respect to bankruptcy or receivership initiated by or on behalf of Developer or, if not dismissed within ninety (90) days, by any third parties against Developer.
19. Annual Review. Review of the Agreement shall be made annually, consistent with Government Code section 65865.1 and Livermore Development Code Chapter 9.04. If, as a result of an annual review, the City finds and determines, on the basis of substantial evidence, that the Developer or successor in interest thereto has not complied in good faith with the terms or conditions of this Agreement, then the City may amend or terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 12 and Section 13 of this Agreement, respectively. a. No later than sixty (60) days before the yearly anniversary of the Effective Date, Developer shall submit to the Director, in a form which the Director may reasonably establish, information demonstrating Developer’s compliance with this Agreement.
The failure of the Developer to timely submit this document shall be a curable breach. b. On or before the yearly anniversary of the Effective Date, the Director shall make a determination regarding whether or not Developer has complied in good faith with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement. This determination shall be made in writing with reasonable specificity, any determination of non-compliance must be supported by substantial evidence, and a copy of the determination shall be provided to Developer in a manner prescribed in this Section. The failure of the Director of the City to make a determination on Annual Review shall not be considered a breach of the Agreement.
c. In the event the Director makes a finding and determination of non-compliance, Developer shall be entitled to appeal that determination to the Planning Commission in the manner prescribed by Livermore Development Code Section 9.15. d. If, as a result of this Annual Review procedure, it is found and determined by the Director if no appeal is taken, or the Planning Commission on appeal, that Developer has not complied in good faith with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, upon receipt of the notice of default, Developer shall promptly commence to cure the identified default(s) at the earliest reasonable time after receipt of the notice of default and shall complete the cure of such default(s) not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice of default, or such longer period as is reasonably necessary to remedy such default(s), by mutual consent of the City and the Developer, provided that Developer shall continuously and diligently pursue such remedy at all times until such default(s) is cured.
e. If the Director finds and determines that Developer has not cured a default pursuant to this Section, the City may elect to terminate or modify this Agreement pursuant to Sections 12 and 13.
EXHIBIT B
2332
f. Developer shall reimburse the City for its actual costs, reasonably and necessarily incurred, to accomplish the required Annual Review.
20. Notice of Default and Right to Cure. Whenever the City delivers any notice to the Developer of the occurrence of a Developer event of default (a "Cure Notice"), the City shall not exercise any remedy available to it unless and until each of the following have occurred:
(a) written notice of the Developer event of default is provided to each and every thenexisting holder of record of any Security Financing Interest (each an "Encumbrance Holder") that has notified the City in writing of (i) its interest in receiving such a notice, and (ii) its address for the receipt of such notice; and (b) such Developer event of default remains uncured after the expiration of the applicable cure period set forth in Section 19(d), above. The Cure Notice shall be sent simultaneously with any similar notice or notices of a Developer event of default that the City may be required to provide to Developer in this Agreement. An Encumbrance Holder shall have the right and the power to cure any Developer event of default specified in a Cure Notice within the cure periods set forth in Section 19(d), above, and, if such Developer event of default is so cured, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize such Encumbrance Holder to undertake or continue the construction or completion of the improvements (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect such improvements or construction already made) without first having expressly assumed in writing the Developer's obligations to the City under this Agreement. The Encumbrance Holder in that event must agree to complete, in the manner provided in this Agreement, the construction of the improvements. Any such Encumbrance Holder properly completing construction of the improvements pursuant to this section shall assume all rights and obligations of Developer under this Agreement and shall be entitled, upon written request made to the City, to a Certificate of Occupancy from the City.
21. Remedies for Default. If a Party is in default under this Agreement, then the non-defaulting Party may pursue one or more of the following courses of action, after 30 days’ written notice to the defaulting Party (or such longer period as may be required to cure the default so long as such defaulting Party commences the cure within such 30 day period and diligently pursues the cure to completion): (a) waive the default; (b) in the City’s case, pursue administrative remedies including denial or otherwise withholding issuance of building permits, certificates of occupancy or other approvals; (c) pursue judicial remedies; or (d) terminate this Agreement. Any purported default by a party hereunder shall be subject to, and tolled by, any event of Force Majeure (or any other event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform) which prevents such party from performing the act necessary to avoid or cure such purported default. Any such tolling shall end at the termination of the event of Force Majeure or other event or circumstance.
22. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative, and the exercise or failure to exercise any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise, at the same time or different times, of any right or remedy for the same default or any other default.
23. No Litigation. There is no existing or, to the Developer's actual knowledge, pending or threatened litigation, suit, action or proceeding before any court or administrative agency affecting the Developer or the Property that would, if adversely determined, materially and
EXHIBIT B
2333
adversely affect the Developer or the Property or the Developer's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to develop the Project.
24. Legal Action. If the City chooses to defend any third party claim or suit challenging any action taken by the City with regard to this Agreement or any procedure or aspect of the City’s approval of the development of the Project, including the environmental review process, the Developer in its capacity as either Developer or owner of the Property agrees to reimburse the City for its reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, and related costs as the City may incur in connection with its retention of outside counsel, and for any award of court costs or fees against the City. The City has the right to choose and retain such legal counsel as the City deems appropriate. After expenses reach $100,000, and each $100,000 thereafter, the Parties will confer to review the status of the litigation and their options for proceeding or settling, and they will negotiate in good faith about how the subsequent expenses will be allocated. The Developer in its capacity as the Developer or owner of the Property shall have no obligation to reimburse the City for costs incurred after the date on which the Developer or owner of the Property gives the City written notice of their decision to settle a case, even if the City does not agree to the settlement.
25. Attorney’s Fees. In the event any legal action is commenced to interpret or to enforce the terms of this Agreement or to collect damages as a result of any breach thereof, each Party shall bear their own attorneys' fees and no attorneys' fees may be awarded to the Party prevailing in the action.
26. Parties Not Co-Venturers. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or does establish the Parties as partners, co-venturers, or principal and agent with one another.

EXHIBIT D
Affordable Housing
Introduction
This Exhibit D establishes Developer Obligations for construction of affordable housing within the Project site.
1. Low Income Rental Housing Units (Planning Area S3A)
a. Quantity and Location. The Project shall construct one hundred and fifty two (152) units of “low income” multi-family rental housing units in Planning Area S3A (“Low Income Housing Units”).
b. Affordability Levels. The units shall be comprised of fifty three (53) units reserved for “Very Low Income Household” rental housing, as the term is defined in Health & Safety Code, Section 50105, and ninety nine (99) units reserved for “Lower Income Household” rental housing, as the term is defined in Health & Safety Code, Section 50079.5 (collectively, “Low Income Housing Units”). Said Low Income Housing Units shall be constructed within Planning Area S3A.
c. Unit Mix. The unit mix shall include one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and, threebedroom units. With respect to three-bedroom units, the Parties recognize and agree that the intent of this Agreement is to include three- bedroom affordable units in Planning Area S3A. However, to maintain flexibility for the purpose of ensuring the proposed affordable units in Planning Area S3A are consistent with the requirements of public affordable housing financing providers’ point-system-based competitive application processes while also ensuring the overall economic viability of the Low Income Housing Units, the final unit mix and number of three- bedroom units in Planning Area S3A shall be determined by Developer and/or the Affordable Developer in the manner that maximizes the units’ eligibility for earning points for subsidized public affordable housing financing while maintaining economic viability for the Low Income Housing Units. Planning Area S3A shall not contain any age restricted residential units.
d. City Concurrence on Affordable Housing Developer. Developer may elect to transfer Planning Area S3A to or otherwise partner with a third-party affordable housing developer (“Affordable Developer”) to provide the Low Income Housing Units.
However, prior to any such transfer or partnership being finalized, Developer shall obtain the City’s prior approval of the Affordable Developer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied, so long as said Affordable Housing Developer makes a reasonable demonstration of relevant experience developing affordable housing and the financial ability to develop the Project’s Low Income Housing Units.
e. Affordable Housing Timing. Within twenty-four (24) months of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Developer and/or the Affordable Developer shall have submitted to
EXHIBIT B
2349
the State of California complete applications for tax credit and multifamily housing bond financing for the Low Income Housing Units.
f. Performance Bond to Fund Low Income Housing Units. On or before the date upon which the Final Map that includes Planning Area S3A is recorded, Developer shall post in an escrow account the sum of eleven million, four hundred thousand dollars ($11,400,000.00) (the “Low Income Housing Amount") in cash (“Low Income Housing Cash Payment”) or, provided at Developer’s sole expense, a performance bond (“Low Income Housing Bond”) with the City as the obligee and sole beneficiary in the Low Income Housing Amount. The Low Income Housing Amount can be met through a combination of a Low Income Housing Cash Payment and a Low Income Housing Bond, so long as it totals the full Low Income Housing Amount. The Low Income Housing Cash Payment or Low Income Housing Bond shall secure: (i) delivery of fee title of S3-A to the Affordable Developer; (ii) delivery of the S-3A Pad; and (iii) close of escrow by the affordable Developer of Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) financing for the final number of Low Income Housing Units to be constructed in Planning Area S3A [(i), (ii) and (iii) above being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “LIHTC Financing Conditions”]. The Low Income Housing Bond and escrow instructions shall enable the City to, in its sole and absolute discretion, withdraw the Low Income Housing Cash Payment or put a call on the Low Income Housing Bond for the Low Income Housing Amount no sooner than six (6) years from the Effective Date if Developer has not completed the LIHTC Financing Conditions (“LIHTC Time Limit”). In such a case, the Low Income Housing Cash Payment or Low Income Housing Bond funding shall be used by the City to fund the construction of the Project’s Low Income Housing Units on Parcel S3-A. The Low Income Housing Cash Payment or Low Income Housing Bond shall be immediately released upon Developer’s completion the LIHTC Financing Conditions. For clarity, the six (6) year LIHTC Time Limit is subject to Enforced Delay provisions. The entirety of the Low Income Housing Cash Payment or Low Income Housing Bond in the Low Income Housing Amount is not required to be expended by the City if sufficient low income project financing can be obtained to construct the Project’s final permitted number of Low Income Housing Units. The City’s release of the Low Income Housing Amount does not remove the Developer’s obligation to provide the Low Income Housing units, as described in this exhibit. The Developer, Affordable Developer, and all successors are obligated to ensure the Low Income Housing units are constructed and made available for rent in accordance with this Agreement and the approved Project plans.
g. Developer Obligations. Developer meets all Performance Bond to Fund Low Income Housing Units requirements under this Agreement for the provision of Low Income Housing Units in Planning Area S3A and shall not be in breach of this Agreement with respect to the same where it either: (1) transfers Planning Area S3A to an Affordable Developer with funding commitments sufficient to construct the final number of approved Low Income Housing Units; or (2) places in an escrow account, consistent with the requirements of this subsection, the Low Income Housing Bond, the Low Income Housing Cash Payment, or a combination thereof, in the full Low Income Housing Amount; and transfers Planning Area S3A in fee title to the City of Livermore, as described in the Land Ownership Transfer section below. Developer

has elected to work with a third-party Affordable Developer to provide the Project’s Low Income Housing units. The Developer, Affordable Developer, and all successors are obligated to ensure the Low Income Housing units are constructed and made available for rent in accordance with this Agreement and the approved Project plans, as the same may be amended pursuant to this Agreement, as agreed upon by both Parties.
h. Land Ownership Transfer. If the LIHTC Time Limit is reached without Developer having met the LIHTC Financing Conditions, the City may, at its own election and in its sole discretion, deliver written notice to Developer stating the City wishes to take ownership of Planning Area S3-A to ensure the construction of the Low Income Housing Units using the Low Income Housing Amount. If, at the time of such written notice is provided by the City, Developer is the fee owner of Planning Area S3-A, Developer shall deed fee ownership of Planning Area S3A to the City at no cost to the City, to enable the City to develop Low Income Housing Units pursuant to the requirements of this Section. If Developer transfers ownership of Planning Area S3A to an Affordable Developer before the LIHTC Time Limit is reached, said transfer shall include a binding commitment and written agreement from the Affordable Developer to agree to take Planning Area S3A subject to the City retaining an extinguishable right of reversion of fee ownership if the LIHTC Time Limit is reached without the LIHTC Financing Conditions having been met. The grounds upon which this reversion right is extinguishable shall only be where said extinguishment is required by a bona fide provider of affordable financing for the Low Income Housing Units, in which case the reversion right shall be permanently and irrevocably extinguished by the City, conditioned upon the closing of affordable financing. Where such extinguishment is required, either Developer or the Affordable Developer shall deliver to the City a letter from said provider of affordable housing financing indicating it is requiring extinguishment of the reversion right herein, wherein the City shall promptly – but in no case more than ten (10) business days of receipt of said letter – deliver to Developer or the Affordable Developer written confirmation that its right of reversion is permanently waived and extinguished pursuant to the terms of this provision conditioned upon the closing of the affordable housing financing.
i. Clean Title. For any transfer to the City of ownership of Planning Area S3A under this provision, title shall be delivered free of liens, loans, notes, taxes, and other encumbrances, except for: (1) any easements, encumbrances and exceptions depicted on the Final Map; (2) any easements for utilities, storm drains or other flood control devices or conveyances; and (3) any other easements or encumbrances expressly agreed to by the City. i. Cooperation. The Parties covenant and agree to cooperate with one another to help achieve the key purpose of this Agreement that Developer and/or the Affordable Developer to obtain affordable housing financing for the Low Income Housing Units and to execute and deliver to the other all such other and further instruments and documents as may be necessary to carry out this purpose, which may include, without limitation, the City issuing a formal written release of its reversionary ownership rights hereunder in connection with the closing of affordable project financing by

The Developer or its management entity shall ensure the Temporary Commercial Activation site is publicly accessible and operational a minimum of two days a week on average throughout the year, as determined by the Director.
iii. Developer or its management entity shall ensure the Temporary Commercial Activation site remains in good condition at all times and that sufficient facilities are provided to ensure proper site function to facilitate commercial activity and use by the public (e.g. parking, trash, restrooms, seating areas, etc.).
g. Leases. All Temporary Commercial Activation site operators herein will be required to enter into commercial leases with Developer or its management entity on terms reasonably satisfactory to Developer or its management entity, which shall include
EXHIBIT E
Commercial Uses
EXHIBIT B
2356
standard commercial lease terms including, without limitation, permitted use restrictions, tenant improvement and permitting requirements, repair and maintenance requirements, casualty provisions, insurance requirements, common area maintenance expenses, and time, place and manner restrictions, among other standard commercial lease terms for temporary leases for similar uses in similar locations. In Developer’s sole and absolute discretion, if the Temporary Commercial Activation site operator is a commercial retail operation providing goods or services to the community, the Temporary Commercial Activation site operator may be provided a base rent of zero, and Developer or its management entity may instead accept rent as a commercially reasonable percentage of monthly gross receipts. h. Vacancy and Rent. If the Developer cannot find rent-paying commercial operators for the Temporary Activation site and the Temporary Commercial Activation site is vacant for more than three months, use of the site shall be offered rent free or otherwise with a base rent of zero until such time as suitable rent paying tenants can be identified.
4. Main Street and Gateway Avenue Ground Floor Uses.
a. Non-Commercial Uses. The following uses shall be permitted in up to 50 percent of Main Street and Gateway Avenue ground floor tenant spaces (Planning Areas C1-B, C2-A, an S1), excluding the S1 Retail Market space of 18,500 square feet as described in Exhibit B (Development Plans):
i. Flexible Co-Workspace Uses, as defined in this Agreement and as amended; ii. Public and Quasi Public Uses, as defined in the Livermore Development Code, as amended; and
iii. Office Core uses, as defined in the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan, as amended.
b. Restaurant and Retail Uses. At least 75 percent of all tenant spaces directly fronting onto the public plazas (Planning Areas C1-C, C2-C, and TS) shall be occupied with restaurant, retail and related uses, as determined by the Director and as allowed in the Ground Floor Retail/ Overlay Flex Space and Office Core zones. c. Public and Quasi Public Dedication. Upon written request of the City, the Developer shall dedicate the northern-most ground floor tenant space not to exceed 3,000 gross square feet unless agreed to in writing by Developer in Planning Area C2-A to public/ quasi-public uses, to include but not limited to: a public library, art space, police substation, bike share facility, etc. Compensation for the Public and Quasi Public tenant space and any required tenant improvements shall be negotiated in good faith between the Parties prior to the City occupying the tenant space. Compensation may include art fee contributions, or other compensation as agreed upon mutually by the Director and the Developer.
5. The Parties recognize that the successful permanent and temporary use of the commercial component of Planning Area S1 and the temporary activation of the Commercial Blocks
EXHIBIT E
Commercial Uses
EXHIBIT B
2357
depends on the Developer’s ability and on the City’s support to attract and enter into permanent and temporary leases with reputable, desirable Permanent Commercial Grocers, Temporary Commercial Operators, and Temporary Commercial Activation uses.
6. Mutual Cooperation. The Parties will work cooperatively to: meet regularly with prospective tenants, leasing agents, brokers, vendors, and coordinators; establish timelines for permit and document review and submittal; and will collaboratively provide for a positive environment to attract permanent and temporary commercial uses to the Project.
7. Operations of Pocket Plazas
a. The Pocket Plazas (Planning Areas C1-C and C2-C) and the Town Square (Planning Area TS) shall be operated and maintained by the owner or tenant of the respective adjacent Planning Areas, Planning Areas C1-B, C2-A, and S1, or in accordance with another arrangement approved by the Director.
8. Fee Reductions
a. Downtown Traffic Impact Fee Rate Reduction. The Project creates a walkable, dense, compact mixed-use commercial Gateway and Main Street core (Planning Areas C1B, C2A, and S1), which is similar to a downtown environment and lessens the traffic impact on the City. Therefore the Developer may obtain reimbursement of the Project’s City Traffic Impact Fees (“TIF”) in the amount of the difference between the applicable standard citywide TIF rates and the reduced Downtown TIF rates for said fees (“Downtown Fee Rate Reduction”) upon the performance of the mixed-use Planning Areas. This strategy reduces TIF from the citywide rate to the Downtown Rate when a complete neighborhood with mix of uses is completed and operational.
Payment of Citywide TIF and reimbursement shall occur as follows:
i. At time of building permit issuance for residential units and non- residential spaces, the developer shall pay citywide TIF rate.
ii. Once the final core and shell Certificate of Occupancy for commercial areas is issued for the first Commercial Block, the City shall reimburse the developer, or their assignee, 50% of the difference between the citywide TIF rate and the Downtown TIF rate, collected to date.
iii. Once the final core and shell Certificate of Occupancy for commercial areas is issued for the second Commercial Block, the City shall reimburse the developer the remaining difference between the citywide TIF rate and the Downtown TIF rate, collected to date.
iv. After the final core and shell Certificate of Occupancy for commercial areas is issued for the second Commercial Block, the Developer shall pay the Downtown TIF rate.
v. The TIF fee shall be collected at time of building permit issuance. Fees for
EXHIBIT E
Commercial Uses
EXHIBIT B
2358
which credits or reimbursement are provided pursuant to this provision shall not be included in the Project Community Facilities District (Exhibit J). vi. The City shall retain all interest earned on TIF fees collected up until the time of reimbursement. All interest earned shall be committed to TIF related expenditures.
b. Transferrable Development Credit (“TDC”) in-lieu fees. The NLUGB Initiative (Initiative) establishes a Transferable Development Credit program which assigns credits to property owners in North Livermore, which may be used within the Urban Growth Boundary (“UGB”) to increase allowable development elsewhere in the City.
The purpose of Initiative (Section 1) is to (among other items) prevent further sprawl, reduce traffic congestion and hazards, limit air pollution, and avoid government expenditures for extended facilities and services.
The Initiative finds (Section 2h) that more compact, properly planned residential development lowers housing and other living costs; and reduces the costs of public facilities and services, especially where infrastructure is available.
The Initiative acknowledges the necessity to provide housing beyond the UGB and authorizes Council to approve housing beyond the UGB to meet state housing requirements (Section 4c). The Initiative states (Section 20b) that development credits may be used, as the City Council approves in accordance with the General Plan and other City regulations, in areas within the City boundary and Urban Growth Boundary to build dwelling units and commercial and industrial space, including space that otherwise would not be permitted or not permitted until a later time.
Additionally, with reasonable justification, the Council may permit more development per credit in some receiving areas and for certain types of uses.
The 2022 Housing Element of the Livermore General Plan identifies the Project Site in the Housing Sites Inventory and states a majority of the 6th cycle regional housing allocations (4,570 units) will be constructed in the Isabel Neighborhood. Falling short of the estimated number of units will require the City to identify additional housing locations due to no net loss obligations and potentially require identifying sites outside of the UGB. The Livermore General Plan states the TDC requirements in a specific plan area, if any, shall be set forth in the specific plan for that area.
Specific Plan policy P-IMP-6: Transferable Development Credit (TDC) regulations shall be applied to the Specific Plan consistent with Livermore Development Code.
Modifications to the TDC program may be made through a Development Agreement on a project-specific basis as recommended by the Director and approved by City Council if such modifications are shown to be necessary to meet Specific Plan goals.
The Livermore Municipal Code establishes a TDC in-lieu fee whereby development can choose to pay a fee for units constructed above baseline density rather than acquiring land in North Livermore. The in-lieu fee is adjusted based on density range and product type ranging from 1.5 credits for single family units to 1/2 credit for
EXHIBIT E
Commercial Uses
EXHIBIT B
2359
multi-family units.
Further, section 4.02.60(D)(4) of the LDC authorizes the Council to, through the adoption of a specific plan and implemented consistently by development agreement, make modifications to the transferable development credits regulations to meet the specific plan’s density, design policies, and goals that are not inconsistent with the transferable development credit program.
The Project proposes the highest densities on each mixed-use “Commercial Block” (Planning Areas C1B, C2A, and S1). Given such densities, the Parties find the following:
i. Under today’s market conditions, constructing at these densities along with commercial uses can be challenging;
ii. The Commercial Block densities are critical in supporting the City’s overall housing goals and in helping the City meet its 6th Cycle RHNA obligations; iii. The mixed-use Commercial Blocks create more compact and dense development within the Urban Growth Boundary, preventing sprawl, reducing traffic congestion and hazards, limiting air pollution, and avoiding government expenditures for extended facilities and services, as contemplated by the Initiative; and
iv. The Commercial Blocks’ density ranges, mix of uses, and proximity to future transit warrant a higher level of development per credit than other areas in the City.
The higher density of development per credit shall only be assessed once the Commercial Blocks are built, consistent with the provisions of this agreement.
Therefore, consistent with the Initiative, General Plan, Specific Plan, and Livermore Municipal and Development Codes, the parties agree to modify the TDC program as follows:
i. At time of Master Final Map, Developer shall pay Transfer Development Credit in-lieu fees for all units proposed as part of the Project. The Project is comprised of a range of multifamily product types and subject to a fee equivalent of 1/2 TDC credit per unit.
ii. The City shall reimburse the developer 7/16 credit per unit within each individual Commercial Block if the following performance triggers are met (this credit is based on the density range for the mixed-use Commercial Blocks):
a. A Building Permit is issued for a Commercial Block within 7 years of the effective date of this agreement.
1. The Director may permit reimbursement beyond 7 years if the
EXHIBIT E
Commercial Uses
EXHIBIT B
2360
Project shows significant and substantial progress towards completion, as determined by the Director.
b. The density of the Commercial Blocks as a whole meets all other requirements of this Agreement, including Section 9(b)(v) related to unit reductions.
iii. The City shall retain all interest earned on TDC fees collected up until the time of reimbursement in the City’s TDC Fund.

WATER CONNECTION FEE INFORMATION SHEET
New fee schedule effective January 1, 2024
I. GENERAL BACKGROUND
A. The Water Connection Charge Ordinance No. FC 72-1 as amended for Zone 7 was established January 18, 1972. The ordinance is applicable over the Zone 7 area that includes Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, Sunol, and surrounding communities.
The Ordinance requires a one-time water connection fee for all new water services from a water system that is directly connected to the Zone 7 water supply system.
This fee is used for funding the costs of expanding the Zone 7 water treatment and distribution system to serve new development.
B. The amount charged for a water connection is determined by the size of the meter to be installed. The meter sizes and corresponding water connection fees are listed below.
II. PROCEDURES FOR PAYMENT OF WATER CONNECTION FEES IN LIVERMORE,
PLEASANTON, & DUBLIN
The water connection fees are collected by the Building Departments of the Cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, and by the Dublin San Ramon Services District, which are agents for Zone 7. For that area within the California Water service area which is located outside of the Livermore city limits, connection fees will be paid at the Zone 7 office in Livermore.

WHEREAS, the School Board ("Board") of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified District ("District") provides for the educational needs for TK-12 students within the City of Livermore and a portion of the unincorporated counties of Alameda and Contra Costa (collectively, "Counties"); and WHEREAS, The State Allocation Board has taken action pursuant to Government Code Section 65995(b)(3), which authorizes Districts to increase Statutory Developer Fees to $4.08 per square foot for assessable space of residential development and $0.66 per square foot of chargeable covered and enclosed space for all categories of commercial/industrial development, as long as such Statutory Developer Fees are properly justified by the District pursuant to law; and WHEREAS, new residential and commercial/industrial development continues to generate additional students for the District's schools and the District is required to provide school facilities ("School Facilities") to accommodate those students; and
WHEREAS, overcrowded schools within the District would have an impact on the District's ability to provide an adequate quality education and negatively impacts the educational opportunities for the District's students; and
WHEREAS, the District does not have sufficient funds available for the construction or reconstruction of the School Facilities, including acquisition of sites, construction of permanent School Facilities, and acquisition of interim School Facilities, to accommodate students from new residential and commercial/industrial development; and
WHEREAS, the Board of the District has received and considered two studies entitled "Residential Development School Fee Justification Study for Livermore Valley Joint Unified District" and "Commercial/Industrial Development School Fee Justification Study for Livermore Valley Joint Unified District" ("Studies"), which Studies include information, documentation, and analysis of the School Facilities needs of the District, including (a) the purpose of the Statutory Developer Fees; (b) the use to which the Statutory Developer Fees are to be put; (c) the nexus (roughly proportional and reasonable relationship) between the residential and commercial/industrial development; and (1) the use for Statutory Developer Fees; (2) the need for School Facilities; (3) the cost of School Facilities; and the amount of Statutory Developer Fees from new residential and commercial/industrial development; (d) a determination of the impact of the increased number of employees anticipated to result from the commercial/industrial development (by category) upon the cost of providing School Facilities within the District; (e) an evaluation and projection of the number of students that will be generated by new residential development; (n the new School Facilities that will be required to serve such students; and (g) the cost of such School Facilities; and WHEREAS, said Studies pertaining to the Statutory Developer Fees and to the capital facilities needs of the District were made available to the public as required by law before the Board considered at a regularly scheduled public meeting the Statutory Developer Fees; and -1-

WHEREAS, all required notices of the proposed Statutory Developer Fees have been given; and WHEREAS, a Public Hearing was held at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of the District relating to the proposed Statutory Developer Fees; and
WHEREAS, Education Code Section 17621 provides that the adoption, increase or imposition of any fee, charge, dedication, or other requirement, pursuant to Education Code Section 17620 shall not be subject to Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE SCHOOL BOARD OF THE LIVERMORE VALLEY JOINT UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the Board accepts and adopts the Studies.
Section 2. That the Board finds that the purpose of the Statutory Developer Fees imposed upon new residential development is to fund the additional School Facilities required to serve the students generated by the new residential development upon which the Statutory Developer Fees are imposed.
Section 3. That the Board finds that the Statutory Developer Fees imposed on new residential development will be used only to finance those School Facilities described in the Study and related documents and that these School Facilities are required to serve the students generated by the new residential development within the District; and that the use of the Statutory Developer Fees will include construction or acquisition of additional School Facilities, remodeling existing School Facilities to add additional classrooms, and technology, and acquiring and installing additional portable classrooms and related School Facilities, with the specific location of new schools, remodeling of existing School Facilities, and additional portables to be determined based on the residence of the students being generated by such new residential development, as well as any required central administrative and support facilities, within the District.
Section 4. That the Board finds that there is a roughly proportional, reasonable relationship between the use of the Statutory Developer Fees and the new residential development within the District because the Statutory Developer Fees imposed on new residential development by this Resolution, will be used to fund School Facilities which will be used to serve the students generated by such new residential development.
Section 5. That the Board finds that there is a roughly proportional, reasonable relationship between the new residential development upon which the Statutory Developer Fees are imposed, and the need for additional School Facilities in the District because new students will be generated from new residential development within the District and there is not sufficient capacity in the existing School Facilities to accommodate all additional students.
Section 6. That the Board finds that the amount of the Statutory Developer Fees levied on new residential development as set forth in this Resolution is roughly proportional and reasonably related to, and does not exceed the cost of, providing the School Facilities required to serve the students generated by such new residential development within the District. ·

Section 7. That the Board finds that the purpose of the Statutory Developer Fees imposed on new commercial/industrial development is to fund the additional School Facilities required to serve the students generated by the new commercial/industrial development upon which the Statutory Developer Fees are imposed.
Section 8. That the Board finds that the Statutory Developer Fees imposed on new commercial/industrial development (by category) will be used only to finance those School Facilities described in the Studies and related documents and that these School Facilities are required to serve the students generated by such new commercial/industrial development; and that the use of the Statutory Developer Fees will include construction or acquisition of additional School Facilities, remodeling existing School Facilities to add additional classrooms and technology, and acquiring and installing additional portable classrooms and related facilities, with the specific location of new schools, remodeling of existing School Facilities, and additional portables to be determined based on the residence of the students being generated by such new commercial/industrial development, as well as any required central administrative and support facilities within the District.
Section 9. That the Board finds that there is a roughly proportional, reasonable relationship between the use of the Statutory Developer Fees and new commercial/industrial development by category within the District because the Statutory Developer Fees imposed on commercial/industrial development by this Resolution will be used to fund School Facilities which will be used to serve the students generated by such new commercial/industrial development.
Section 10. That the Board finds that there is a roughly proportional, reasonable relationship between the new commercial/industrial development by category, upon which the Statutory Developer Fees are imposed, and the need for additional School Facilities in the District because new students will be generated from new commercial/industrial development within the District and the District does not have sufficient student capacity in the existing School Facilities to accommodate these anticipated students.
Section 11. That the Board finds that the amount of the Statutory Developer Fees levied on new commercial/industrial development by category as set forth in this Resolution is roughly proportional and reasonably related to and does not exceed the cost of providing the School Facilities required to serve the students generated by such new commercial/industrial development within the District.
Section 12. That the Board finds that a separate account has been established for the deposit of Statutory Developer Fees imposed on residential and commercial/industrial development and that said account has at all times since been separately maintained, except for temporary investments, from other funds of the District.
Section 13. That the Board finds that the funds of the account, described in Section 12, consisting of the proceeds of Statutory Developer Fees have been imposed for the purposes of constructing and reconstructing those School Facilities necessitated by new residential and commercial/industrial development, and thus, these funds may be expended for those purposes. The Statutory Developer Fees may also be expended by the District for the costs of performing any study or otherwise making the findings and determinations required under subdivisions (a), (b), and (d) of Section 66001 of the Government Code.
In addition, the District may also retain, as appropriate, an amount not to exceed in any fiscal year, three percent (3%) of the fees collected in that fiscal year pursuant to Education Code Section 17620 for reimbursement of the administrative costs incurred by the District in collecting the Statutory Developer Fees. -3-

To: Tri-Valley Transportation Council
From: TVTC Finance Committee
By: Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
Date: April 19, 2021
Subject: ADOPT the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee Construction Cost Index Annual Adjustment
BACKGROUND
The Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA) for the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee (TVTDF) specifies that the TVTDF amounts are to be adjusted automatically as of July 1 of each year to reflect changes in regional construction costs.

RECOMMENDATION
The TVTC Finance Committee recommends the TVTC adopt the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee Construction Cost Index Annual Adjustment and notify each TVTC member agency to collect the TVTDF rates as listed below starting July 1, 2021:
Single Family Residential $5,057.00/Dwelling Unit (DU)
Multi-Family Residential $3,484.00/DU

8. Compliance with Tax Rate Limitation. The Maximum New Facilities CFD Special Tax Rates will be set so that the Total Tax Obligation on any residential unit within the New Facilities CFD will comply with the Tax Rate Limitation.
9. Escalation of Maximum New Facilities CFD Special Tax Rates. If requested by the Developer in its petition for the New Facilities CFD, the Maximum New Facilities CFD Special Tax Rates shall increase by two percent (2%) per year.

For the New Facilities CFD, annually, on the day following each Principal Payment Date (as defined below), all Remainder Taxes will be deposited in the applicable Remainder Taxes Project Account (as defined below). i. The term “Remainder Taxes” means, in each year, as of the day following the Principal Payment Date, all New Facilities CFD Special Taxes collected prior to such date in excess of the total of: (a) debt service on the outstanding New Facilities CFD Bonds in the current calendar year, if any; (b) priority and any other reasonable administrative costs that are payable by City or expected to be payable by City prior to the receipt of additional New Facilities CFD Special Tax proceeds; and (c) amounts levied to replenish
EXHIBIT J
EXHIBIT B
2394
any reserve fund as of the Principal Payment Date, including amounts reserved for reasonable anticipated delinquencies, if any. ii. The term “Principal Payment Date” means, either before or after New Facilities CFD Bonds are issued, September 1 of each year, regardless of whether principal payments are actually due in any particular year. iii. The term “Remainder Taxes Project Account” means a separate account created by City for the New Facilities CFD and maintained by City to hold all Remainder Taxes of the New Facilities CFD to be used for financing Eligible Facilities.
b. No Pledge for New Facilities CFD Debt Service. Remainder Taxes deposited in the Remainder Taxes Project Account will not be deemed or construed to be pledged for payment of debt service on any New Facilities CFD Bonds, and neither Developer nor any other person will have the right to demand or require that City or Fiscal Agent, as applicable, use funds in the Remainder Taxes Project Account to pay debt service, although the City may reserve the right in the applicable indenture to use amounts in the Remainder Taxes Project Account to pay administrative costs, debt service on any New Facilities CFD Bonds or replenishment of debt service reserve funds for the New Facilities CFD Bonds.
11. Prepayment. The New Facilities CFD RMA will include provisions allowing a property owner within the New Facilities CFD to prepay its New Facilities CFD Special Tax obligation as long as it is not in default in the payment of New Facilities CFD Special Taxes.
Prepaid New Facilities CFD Special Taxes (defined below) will be placed in a segregated account in accordance with the applicable indenture. The New Facilities CFD RMA and the indenture will specify the use of prepaid New Facilities CFD Special Taxes. Before New Facilities CFD Bonds are issued, all prepayment amounts other than those required for administrative expenses shall be used to finance Eligible Facilities (“Prepaid New Facilities CFD Special Taxes”).
12. New Facilities CFD Bonds. Subject to approval of the City Council, the City, on behalf of the New Facilities CFD, intends to issue one or more series of New Facilities CFD Bonds for the purposes set forth in this Exhibit J, but only upon the written request of Developer.
The City and Developer intend for the proceeds of any such New Facilities CFD Bonds to refund all outstanding bonds of the Existing CFD, pay the prepayment penalty for those bonds, allow for the release of the lien of the Existing CFD from the Property, and finance the Eligible Facilities.
a. Underwriting. The City shall select its financing team for any New Facilities CFD Bonds, including bond counsel, disclosure counsel, municipal advisor, underwriter and special tax consultant.
b. Timing of Sale. Developer has informed the City that it intends to ask the City to issue the New Facilities CFD Bonds as soon as possible after the Property in the CFD has achieved a 3:1 value-to-lien ratio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties have agreed that (i) the New Facilities CFD Bonds shall be sold no sooner than the
EXHIBIT J
EXHIBIT B
2395
issuance of any applicable state and federal environmental and cultural permits for the Project (unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties) and (ii) after consulting with the Developer, the City shall determine the timing for the issuance of the New Facilities CFD Bonds, in consultation with its municipal advisor, the underwriter and the other financing participants. The City has informed the Developer that it intends to issue the New Facilities CFD Bonds in a manner that is consistent with sound municipal finance practices.
c. New Facilities CFD Bonds Temporarily Excused. The City will be authorized to temporarily suspend the issuance of any New Facilities CFD Bonds during the time in which:
i. Developer is in default in the payment of any ad valorem tax, New Facilities CFD Special Taxes or Isabel Maintenance CFD special taxes levied on any taxable parcel it then owns in the Project;
ii. Developer is in default under the Development Agreement; iii. Developer fails to cooperate reasonably with the City as necessary to implement the issuance of the New Facilities CFD Bonds in accordance with this Exhibit J;
iv. In the judgment of the City, after consultation with Developer, and based upon the purposes set forth in this Exhibit J and advice of City staff and consultants, market conditions or conditions affecting the property in the Project (such as tax delinquencies, assessment appeals, damage or destruction of improvements, litigation or proceedings, inquiries or investigations, at law or in equity, or by or before any court, governmental agency, public board or body) make it fiscally imprudent or infeasible to incur the requested indebtedness at the time;
v. There is an action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, or by or before any court, governmental agency, public board or body, pending or threatened against the City or the New Facilities CFD: (A) wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the existence of the City or the New Facilities CFD or the title of any official of the City to such person’s office; (B) seeking to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of the New Facilities CFD Bonds; (C) in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the indenture or the New Facilities CFD Bonds; (D) contesting in any way the completeness or accuracy of the Official Statement related to the New Facilities CFD Bonds; or (E) contesting the power of the City or its authority with respect to the New Facilities CFD Bonds or the applicable indenture, or there is any basis for any such action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would materially adversely affect the validity of the indenture or the authorization, execution, delivery or performance by the City of the New Facilities CFD Bonds, or the related indenture; or
EXHIBIT J
EXHIBIT B
2396
vi. the underwriter for any issue of New Facilities CFD Bonds exercises any right to cancel its obligation to purchase the New Facilities CFD Bonds during the occurrence and continuation of events specified in its bond purchase agreement.
13. Joint Community Facilities Agreements. The Mello Roos Act requires that the City Council enter into one or more joint community facilities agreements with other governmental entities if any of those governmental entities will own or operate any of the Eligible Facilities to be financed by the New Facilities CFD. The Developer has informed the City that joint community facilities agreements may be required between the City and, among other agencies, the Livermore Area Recreation and Parks District, Alameda County Zone 7 Water Agency, Tri-Valley Transportation JPA, and Livermore Joint Unified School District. City and Developer agree that they will take all reasonable steps to procure the authorization and execution of any required joint community facilities agreements with other governmental entities before the issuance of any New Facilities CFD Bonds that will finance the construction or acquisition of Eligible Facilities that will be owned or operated by such other governmental entities. Developer acknowledges and agrees that the ability of City to enter into joint community facilities agreements is subject to the discretion of the other governmental entities.
14. Miscellaneous New Facilities CFD Provisions
a. Reserve Fund Earnings. The indenture for each issue of New Facilities CFD Bonds will provide that earnings on any reserve fund that are not then needed to replenish the reserve fund to the reserve requirement will be transferred to the debt service fund held by the Fiscal Agent under the indenture.
b. Authorization of Reimbursements. City will take all actions necessary to satisfy Section 53314.9 of the Government Code or any similar statute subsequently enacted to use New Facilities CFD Bond proceeds and Remainder Taxes (during the pay-asyou-go period) to reimburse Developer for: (i) New Facilities CFD formation and New Facilities CFD Bond issuance deposits and (ii) advance funding of Eligible Facilities or costs.
c. Acquisition Agreement. Contemporaneously with the formation of the New Facilities CFD, Developer and City will execute an acquisition and funding agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) that will apply to the acquisition and construction of the Eligible Facilities for the New Facilities CFD. The Acquisition Agreements shall contain an acknowledgment by City and Developer as to the following:
i. Developer may construct Eligible Facilities before New Facilities CFD Bond proceeds, Remainder Taxes, and Prepaid Special Taxes (herein, “Funding Sources”) that will be used to acquire them are available; ii. City will inspect Eligible Facilities and process payment requests even if Funding Sources for the amount of pending payment requests are not then sufficient to satisfy them in full;
iii. Eligible Facilities may be conveyed to and accepted by City or other
EXHIBIT J
EXHIBIT B
2397
governmental entity before the applicable payment requests are paid in full; iv. If City or other governmental entity accepts Eligible Facilities before the applicable payment requests are paid in full, the unpaid balance will be paid when sufficient Funding Sources become available, and the Acquisition Agreement will provide that the applicable payment requests for Eligible Facilities accepted by City or other governmental entity may be paid: (A) in any number of installments as Funding Sources become available; and (B) irrespective of the length of time payment is deferred; and v. Developer’s conveyance or dedication of Eligible Facilities to City or other governmental entity before the availability of Funding Sources to acquire the Eligible Facilities is not a dedication or gift, or a waiver of Developer’s right to payment of Eligible Facilities under this Development Agreement or any Acquisition Agreement or joint community facilities district executed by City and Developer.
d. Initial and Continuing Disclosure. In connection with each issue of New Facilities CFD Bonds, Developer shall provide customary disclosure about Developer and its development and financing plans. In addition, Developer shall comply with all of its obligations under any continuing disclosure agreement it executes in connection with the offering and sale of any New Facilities CFD Bonds. Developer acknowledges that a condition to the issuance of any Bonds may be Developer’s execution of a continuing disclosure agreement.
e. Administrative Expenses. In determining coverage requirements for any reason (e.g., bond sizing, parity bonds, etc.), City shall prioritize the payment of administrative costs for the New Facilities CFD.
f. Eligible Facilities. The New Facilities CFD shall be authorized to finance all or any portion of the items described in Section 53313.5 of the Mello Roos Act that are required to be built in connection with development of the Project at the time of formation of the New Facilities CFD, including, but not limited to street and transit improvements, including grading, paving, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, street signalization and signage, street lights and landscaping related thereto, storm drain facilities, sewer facilities, electric power facilities, including transmission lines, backbone cable, conduits and transformers, school facilities and land, rights-of-way and easements necessary for any of such facilities, the Master Project Infrastructure and the Bike Lane (collectively, the “Eligible Facilities”). To the extent permitted by the Mello Roos Act, the Eligible Facilities may be financed directly or by financing Impact Fees. The City may issue any New Facilities CFD Bonds on a federally taxable basis to finance Impact Fees in its sole discretion.
15. Indemnification; Waiver. The Developer agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the City, the New Facilities CFD and the City’s consultants, Councilmembers, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, losses, damage, expenses and liability of every kind, nature, and description, directly or indirectly arising from the City’s formation of the New Facilities CFD, the levy of the New Facilities CFD
EXHIBIT J
EXHIBIT B
2398
Special Taxes, the execution of any joint community facilities agreements, the issuance of any New Facilities CFD Bonds or any other actions related to the New Facilities CFD.
D. Formation of the New Facilities CFD by a Joint Powers Authority
1. Petition for a Joint Powers Authority to Form the New Facilities CFD. At any time during the term of the Development Agreement, but only after annexation of the Property into the Isabel Maintenance CFD is complete and after the City Manager has notified Developer that the City does not wish to establish the New Facilities CFD, Developer may submit a petition to a joint powers authority acceptable to the City in accordance with the Mello Roos Act to establish the New Facilities CFD over the Property.
2. City Manager Obligations. Subsequent to the Developer’s Joint Powers Authority petition, the City Manager shall recommend the City Council approve a Resolution authorizing the JPA to establish the New Facilities CFD and approving an Acquisition Agreement between the City and the Developer and shall fully support the formation of a New Facilities CFD for the Project, as described in this Exhibit.
3. City Council Approval. Concurrently with submitting the petition to the joint powers authority pursuant to the preceding subsection, the Developer shall submit a written request to the City to (a) authorize the joint powers authority to establish the New Facilities CFD, levy special taxes on taxable property in the New Facilities CFD and issue special tax bonds for the New Facilities CFD and (b) approve an Acquisition Agreement between the City and the Developer.
4. Limitations on the New Facilities CFD Formed by a Joint Powers Authority. a. Any New Facilities CFD formed by a joint powers authority shall be authorized to finance only Eligible Facilities and Impact Fees, and the City hereby reserves the discretion to direct the joint powers authority to finance any such Eligible Facilities or Impact Fees on a federally taxable basis.
b. The Maximum New Facilities CFD Special Tax Rates will be set by the Developer and the joint powers authority so that the Total Tax Obligation on any residential unit within the New Facilities CFD will comply with the Tax Rate Limitation. c. The New Facilities CFD RMA adopted by the joint powers authority shall provide that Eligible Facilities may be financed directly on a pay-as-you-go basis from Remainder Taxes both before and after the issuance of New Facilities CFD Bonds, subject to the limitations on the pay-as-you-go-period set forth in Section C. d. The Developer agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the City, the New Facilities CFD and the City’s consultants, Councilmembers, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, losses, damage, expenses and liability of every kind, nature, and description, directly or indirectly arising from the New Facilities CFD formed by the joint powers authority.

Low Income For Sale Housing Agreement
between
City of Livermore and [Developer]
This Low Income For Sale Housing Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into on______________, _____, 2024 by and between the City of Livermore, a municipal corporation ("City"), and __________ ("Developer"), with reference to the following facts:
RECITALS
A. A serious shortage of affordable housing exists in the City. Of particular concern is the shortage of housing for low-income and moderate-income households.
B. The impact that for-sale residential units have on the need to meet affordable housing was determined by conducting a Residential Nexus Analysis and Residential Feasibility Analysis. The analyses found that the need for affordable housing is commensurate with a 15% inclusionary requirement. The 20% inclusionary requirement for the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan was developed to be economically equivalent to the 15% inclusionary requirement for the General Plan Area.
C. The City’s General Plan Housing Element has the goal of providing housing affordable to all economic segments of the community and requires that in the General Plan area 15% of the dwelling units be affordable, in the Downtown Specific Plan area 10% of the dwelling units be affordable, and in the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Area 20% of the dwelling units be affordable.
Chapter 10.06.050 of the Livermore Development Code provides that this affordability requirement may also be satisfied by alternative means including payments to the City’s Housing Trust Fund for use in affordable housing projects.
EXHIBIT O
EXHIBIT B
2406
D. The Developer desires to build a residential development in the Isabel Specific Plan Area of the City of Livermore, and to enter into this Agreement to satisfy its affordable housing requirement.

2) Affordable Housing Requirement
Based on the Conditions of Approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map ____, and Chapter 10.06.050 of the Livermore Development Code, the Developer is required to provide ____ residential units (“Units”) for sale at affordable prices to medianincome and moderate-income households. 3) Satisfying the Affordable Housing Requirement
In satisfaction of the affordable housing requirement described in Section 2 above, the Developer hereby agrees to: (i) construct ______ Units within the Development, ___ of which will be reserved for sale at Median Income Sales Prices, and _____ of which will be reserved for sale at Moderate Income Prices as defined in Section 7 below, (the “Affordable Units”); and, (ii) for the fractional remainder of the requirement, pay to the City’s Housing Trust Fund the in lieu fee, as defined in Section 4, below.

c) The Lots listed in Section 5.a and identified in Attachment 1 on which the Affordable Units are to be constructed may be changed with the mutual written consent of the City and Developer not to be unreasonably withheld provided that any change in the Lots does not materially detract from the value of the Affordable Units as determined by the City in accordance with the City’s affordable housing ordinance (Dev.

a) For those Affordable Units designated to be sold to median income households, each Purchaser’s income shall not exceed one-hundred percent (100%) of the median income for Alameda County, adjusted for actual household size, as published annually by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“Median Income Purchaser”). b) For those Affordable Units designated to be sold to moderate income households, each Purchaser’s income shall not exceed one-hundred twenty percent (120%) of the median income for Alameda County, adjusted for actual household size, as published annually by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“Moderate Income Purchaser”). c) Median and Moderate Income Purchasers must be first time homebuyers and meet credit and eligibility standards described in the City’s Affordable Homeownership Program Guidelines.
d) To the extent required under the Program, Developer agrees to market the Affordable Units through specified City programs to implement applicant selection preferences in accordance with City’s Affordable Homeownership Program Guidelines. The Developer may elect to have the City identify and select eligible Median and Moderate Income Purchasers for the Affordable Units.
e) If the Developer elects to utilize the services of the City:
i. The City will establish a list identifying income-eligible households based on preferences established by the Livermore City Council, provide first time homebuyers access to consumer credit counseling, identify to first time homebuyers possible financing options, assist homebuyers through the escrow process, monitor resale restriction agreements and related documents, and comply with all federal and state fair housing laws and regulations. ii. Upon close of escrow for the sale of each Affordable Unit, the City shall be paid from escrow an administrative fee equal to one and half percent (1.5%) of the Total Purchase Price to conduct the activities described in Section 6 (d)(i) on behalf of Developer.

iii. In order to ensure timely delivery notification of eligible Purchasers, Developer shall send to the City’s Housing and Human Services Division Manager, a written notice as soon as Developer, in its reasonable opinion, believes that a particular Affordable Unit is at least one hundred twenty (120) days from being ready for occupancy. At that point, the City will begin marketing and identifying eligible Median and Moderate Income Purchasers. The City shall provide to Developer the names of Median and Moderate Income Purchasers eligible under the Program.

The 2024 schedule is attached hereto as Attachment 3, incorporated herein as reference, and adopted by City Council Resolution 2001-204 (“Below Market Price Limits.”) The Developer and the City acknowledge that the Below Market Price Limits may be adjusted from time to time and agree that in the event of such adjustment the Median Income Prices and Moderate Income Prices of the Affordable Units shall be adjusted to match the then current Below Market Price Limits at the time the Developer notices the City of an Affordable Unit(s) for sale and/or the marketing of the Affordable Unit(s) begins as mutually agreed upon.
b) The term “Options” shall mean any options, improvements, or upgrades to an Affordable Unit that Developer has made available to a Purchaser and that Purchaser has agreed to purchase at its sole cost and expense and may not be financed.

Developer acknowledges and agrees that its sole compensation for any sale of an Affordable Unit shall be the sum of (a) the Median Income Price or Moderate Income Price and (b) the total cost of the Options.

c) All permitted upgrades and options for the Affordable Units must be preapproved by the City prior to marketing the first Affordable Unit. d) For property assessment purposes, the Total Purchase Price for each Affordable Unit shall be reported to the Alameda County Assessor’s Office. 8) Affordability Restrictions
To effectuate the affordability restrictions, as a condition to the close of escrow on any Affordable Unit, the Developer shall require Purchaser to execute a promissory note in favor of the City in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value as determined by an appraisal of the Affordable Unit and the Median Income Price or Moderate Income Price(the “Promissory Note”).

Livermore, California

2. Purpose of City Note. Borrower is purchasing the Residence pursuant to the City’s Affordable Homeownership Program, which makes homes available at a price affordable to low or moderate income households. Pursuant to the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance, Livermore Development Code Section 10.06.050, the purchase price of the Residence is substantially below the market value to ensure the Residence will be affordable for purchase by low or moderate income households. Because the purchase price has been set below the market value, the Borrower is required and has agreed to execute a Resale Restriction Agreement that restricts the price of the Residence upon resale and requires the Borrower to pay any Excess Sales Proceeds to City upon resale . In addition, the Resale Restriction Agreement prohibits the renting or leasing of the Residence except with prior written approval of the City.

6. Assumption of Note is Restricted. Borrower acknowledges that this Note is given in connection with the purchase of the Residence as part of a program of the City to assist in the purchase of homes by low or moderate-income persons. Consequently, this Note is not automatically assumable, but is subject to Section 711.5 of the California Civil Code, which allows the City to accelerate all amounts due under this Note if any subsequent sale or transfer of the Residence of any kind does not comply with the provisions of the Resale Restriction Agreement executed between the Borrower and the City and dated the same date as this Note.

Nor shall acceptance by the City of any payment provided for herein constitute a waiver of the City's right to require prompt payment of any remaining principal and interest owed.
9. No Offset. Borrower hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may hereafter have against the City, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Note.
