ORDINANCES APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS (FILE NOS. PDA22- 003-A, B, C, AND D) BETWEEN THE CITY OF ONTARIO AND OTC LOT OWNER, LLC,

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council consider and adopt Ordinances approving a Development Agreements (File No.'s PDA22-003-A, B, C, and D) to establish the terms and
conditions associated with a Development Plan (File No. PDEV22-014) to construct up to 694 residential units and 71,500 square feet of commercial/office/retail uses on 10.49 acres of land located at 4000 East Ontario Center Parkway and the southeast and southwest corners of Via Piemonte and Via Villagio, within the Mixed-Use land use district (Subareas 8, 11, 16, and 17) of the Piemonte Overlay of the Ontario Center Specific Plan.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:
The Development Agreements and related Development Plan (File No. PDEV22- 014) conditions of approval require the developer to construct all public infrastructure and pay all Development Impact Fees, compliance processing, licensing, and permitting fees. There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this action.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On July 19, 2022, the City Council introduced and waived further reading of Ordinances approving the Development Agreement. In April 2022, the City Council approved an amendment to the Piemonte Overlay document (File No. PSPA21-001) that expanded the overlay boundary, adding the Mixed-Use land use designation and establishing design guidelines for mixed-use projects. The amendment established the framework to create a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly, regional mixed-use entertainment development within the Arena district.
The financial commitments required to develop an active regional mixed-use entertainment Arena district are substantial. Therefore, in order to adequately forecast these costs and gain assurance 24 that the project may proceed under the existing policies, rules and regulations, OTC Lot Owner LLC (“Owner”) has requested that the City enter into negotiations to create a Development Agreement (“Agreement”). In accordance with California Government Code Section 65865, which in part states that “[a]ny city… may enter into a Development Agreement with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property for the development of such property…” and California Government Code Section 65865.52, which in part states that “a Development Agreement shall specify the duration of the Agreement, the permitted uses of the property… and may include conditions, terms, restrictions…,” the City of Ontario adopted Resolution No. 2002-100 setting forth the procedures and requirements for consideration of Development Agreements.
The Development Agreement proposes to include 10.49 acres of land within the proposed Mixed- Use Subareas 8, 11, 16, and 17 of the Piemonte Overlay at the Ontario Center Specific Plan, as shown on the attached Exhibits A, B, and C. The Agreement grants the Owner a vested right to develop a future mixed-use project consisting of 694 residential units and up to 71,500 square feet of retail uses, provided the Owner complies with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and the Piemonte Overlay at Ontario Center Specific Plan and EIR. To provide flexibility in obtaining financing for the project, the Development Agreement has been separated into four separate Agreements, File Nos. PDEV22-03-A, B, C, and D. Each Agreement will correspond to proposed development density and intensity for each phase of the 10.49-acre project site as outlined in Table 1 and shown on attached Exhibit D.
The term of the Agreements are for 10 years, with a 5-year extension option available. The main points of each Agreement address the funding for all new City expenses created by the project, which includes: (1) development of the project in accordance with the agreed upon residential density and commercial intensity as specified in the Development Plan entitlement (Table 1:
Maximum Development Density and Intensity); (2) timing of the phased development; (3) payment timing and deferral of all Development Impact Fees (“DIF”); (4) construction of all required public infrastructure improvements; (5) vested right to develop the Project in accordance with existing land use regulations of the Piemonte Overlay and subject to the conditions established with the Development Plan entitlement approval; and (6) that the City agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, not to apply any rent control or other moratoria or interim control ordinance against the Property or the Project due the terms of the Ground Lease.
In considering the Agreement(s) at their meeting on June 28, 2022, the Planning Commission found that the Agreement(s) were consistent with State law, The Ontario Plan, and the City’s Development Agreement policies. As a result the Planning Commission adopted Resolution Nos. PC22-027, PC22- 028, PC22-029, and PC22-030, with a 6-0 vote, recommending the City Council approve the Agreements.
HOUSING ELEMENT COMPLIANCE:
The Project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of The Ontario Plan. The Project site contains four properties listed in the Available Land Inventory contained in Table A-3 (Available Land by Planning Area) of the Housing Element Technical Report Appendix. The proposed changes affect two of the four properties listed in the Available Land Inventory (Subareas 8 and 11; Map ID No. 124 and 125). The residential capacity proposed in this Project is consistent with the number of dwelling units (198) and density (48 DU/AC) specified in the Available Land Inventory. 25 AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN COMPLIANCE:
The California State Aeronautics Act
(Public Utilities Code Section 21670 et seq.) requires that an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan be prepared for all public use airports in the State; and requires that local land use plans and individual development proposals must be consistent with the policies set forth in the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted the Ontario International Airport Land use Compatibility Plan, establishing the Airport Influence Area for Ontario International Airport, which encompasses lands within parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to noise, safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. The proposed Project is located within the Airport Influence Area of Ontario International Airport and was evaluated and found to be consistent with the policies and criteria of the Ontario International Airport Land use Compatibility Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In 1980, the City Council certified The Ontario Center Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 80062538) in relation to the adoption of The Ontario Center Specific Plan (File No. 2254-SP) (“OCSP”), which was adopted in 1981. Over the years, several amendments to the OCSP have been approved along with appropriate environmental review. On March 19, 1991, a subsequent EIR (State Clearing House No. 89041009) (“Certified EIR”) was certified in association with an amendment to the OCSP (File No. 4059-SPA). In 2016, the City approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) in association with an amendment to the Piemonte Overlay (File No. PSPA16-003).
In association with the proposed Overlay Amendment, staff collaborated with consultant Kimley- Horn to prepare an Addendum to the Certified EIR, as amended, and found that all potential adverse direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts were thoroughly analyzed and discussed in the Certified EIR, as amended, including, but not limited to potential aesthetic, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, transportation, and tribal cultural resources impacts, and all feasible mitigation has been identified and will be incorporated into the proposed Project. This Project does not contemplate any actions that would require the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental environmental document under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 or 15163, as it is consistent with the development scenario identified within the Certified EIR. Furthermore, this Project introduces no new significant environmental impacts and no further environmental review is required.

HOUSING ELEMENT COMPLIANCE: The Project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of The Ontario Plan. The Project site contains four properties listed in the Available Land Inventory contained in Table A -3 (Available Land by Planning Area) of the Housing Element Technical Report Appendix. The proposed changes affect two of the four properties listed in the Available Land Inventory (Subareas 8 and 11; Map ID No. 124 and 125). The residential capacit y proposed in this Project is consistent with the number of dwelling units (198) and density (48 DU/AC) specified in the Available Land Inventory.
AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN (ALUCP) COMPLIANCE: The California State Aeronautics Act (Public Utilities Code Section 21670 et seq.) requires that an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan be prepared for all public use airports in the State; and requires that local land use plans and individual development proposals must be consistent with the policies set forth in the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted the Ontario International Airport Land use Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”), establishing the Airport Influence Area for Ontario International Airport, which encompasses lands within parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to noise, safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. The proposed Project is located within the Airport Influence Area of Ontario International Airport and was evaluated and found to be consistent with the policies and criteria of the ALUCP.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: In 1980, the City Council certified The Ontario Center Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearing House No. 80062538), in relation to the adoption of The Ontario Center Specific Plan (File No. 2254 -SP) (“OCSP”), which w as adopted in 1981. Over the years, several amendments to the OCSP have been approved along with appropriate environmental review. On March 19, 1991, a subsequent EIR 40 Planning Commission Staff Report
File No.: PDA22-003-A, B, C, and D
June 28, 2022
(State Clearing House No. 89041009) (“Certified EIR”) was certified in association with an amendment to the OCSP (File No. 4059 -SPA). In 2016, the City approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) in association with an amendment to the Piemonte Overlay (File No. PSPA16-003).
In association with the proposed Overlay Amendment, staff collaborated with consultant Kimley-Horn to prepare an Addendum to the Certified EIR, as amended, and found that all potential adverse direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts were thoroughly analyzed and discussed in the Certified EIR, as amende d, including, but not limited to potential aesthetic, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, transportation and tribal cultural resources impacts, and all feasible mitigation has been identified and will be incorporated into the proposed Project. Th is Project does not contemplate any actions that would require the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental environmental document under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 or 15163, as it is consistent with the development scenario identified within the Certified EIR. Furthermore, this Project introduces no new significant environmental impacts and no further environmental review is required.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
3.1 Development of the Project; Rights to Develop.
3.1.1 Development of the Project . In consideration of the premises, purpose s, and intentions set forth in this Agreement , and in consideration of the assurances for development of the Project pursuant to this Agreement , Owner agrees to develop the Project in accordance with: (i) the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (ii) the terms and conditions established in the Development Approvals; and (iii ) the Existing Land Use Regulations . Owner further agrees that the use, d ensity and intensity, maximum height and size of structures and provisions for the Property reservation and dedication of land for public purposes related to the Property shall be li mited to those uses permitted by t he Existing Land Use Regulations . The Project shall be developed in accordance with the Development Approvals . The Project shall be constructed in compliance with all applicable building codes and standards, as such may be modified from time to time.
3.1.2 Rights to Develop. Subject to the term s of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority, Owner shall have a vested right to develop the Project in accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations , subject to t he terms and con ditions of this Agreement and the conditions established i n the Development Approvals . The Project shall remain subject to all Development Approvals required to complete the Project. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the per mitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the 68 49114321.13
maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation and dedication of land for public purposes shall be those set forth in the Existing Land Use Regulations.
3.2 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Reg ulations. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority, the rules, regulations, and official policies governing permitted uses of the Property, the density and int ensity of use of the Property, the maximum height and size of proposed bui ldings, and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to development of the Property shall be the Existing Land Use Regulations. In connection with any Subsequent Development Approval, City shall exercise discretion in accordance with the same manner as it exercises its discretion under its police powers, including the Reservations of Authority set forth herein; provided however, that such discr etion shall not prevent development of the Property for the uses and to the density or intensity of development set forth in this Agreement.
3.3 Timing of Development. The parties acknowledge that Owner cannot at this time predict when or the rate at whi ch the Phased Development will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not within the control of Owner, such as ma rket orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion, and other similar factors. Since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Ca1. 3d 465, that the failure of the parties therein to provi de for the timing of development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to pre vail over such parties’ agreement, it is the parties’ intent to cure th at deficiency by acknowledging and providing that Owner shall have the right to develop (without the obligation) the Property in such order and at such rate and at such times as Owne r deems appropriate within the exercise of its sole and subjective busines s judgment during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, s ubject to (a) Force Majeure Events , (b) up to three one -year extensions of time (provided, however, tha t (i) only the first one -year extension may be requested by Owner unilaterally and thereafter such extensions must be approved by the City Mana ger and (ii) such extensions shall not apply to the first milestone (i.e., submission of the building application) for the first of the Lot s of the Phased Development to be developed) and (c) any extensions of entitlements or permits granted by any governm ental authority on a statewide, citywide or countywide basis , Owner shall achieve the following milestones in accord ance with the following schedule:
Event Date
1. Submission by Owner of building permit
application to the City for the Project
On or before one hundred eighty
(180) days following the Final Non-
Appealable Date.
2. Commencement of Construction of the
Project
On or before two (2) years following
the Final Non-Appealable Date.
In order to achieve this milestone,
City agrees to complete its rev iew of
(a) Owner’s initial plan check
submission within twenty -one (21)
69 49114321.13
days after receipt of such initial
submission by City (provided,
however, p rior to such submission
Owner and the Ci ty shall meet to
review the proposed application), and
(b) any additi onal submissions
required to obtain the required
permits for the project within
fourteen (14) days following rece ipt
of such additional submissi ons by
City. There shall be a day -for-day
extension of this Commencement of
Construction milestone if the City
fails to timely respond to such
submissions within the time periods
set forth above (each, a “ City
Response Delay”).
3.4 Requirement for Publi c Infrastructure Improvements . Owner sh all comply with any conditions of the Development Approvals with respect to providing public infrastructure improvements or facilities, if any , to the extent required in connection w ith the Project (as opposed to the other Lots within the Phased Development).
3.5 Changes and Amendments. The parties acknowledge that refin ement and further development of the Project will require Subsequent Development Approvals and may demonstrate th at changes are appropriate and mut ually desirable in the Existing Developm ent Approvals.

10. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.
The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shal l not prevent or limit Owner, in any manner, at Owner’s sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust , or other security device securing financing with respect to the Proper ty (“Security Instrument ”). City acknowledges that the lenders providing such financing may require certain Agreement interpretations and modif ications and agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with Owner and representatives of such lenders to ne gotiate in good faith any such request for interpretation or modification. City will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requeste d interpretation or modification provided such interpretation or modification is consistent with the intent and purp oses of this Agreement.
The City further agrees to cooperate in including in this Agreement by suitable amendment from time to time any prov ision that may reasonably be requested by any proposed Mortgagee for the purpose of allowing such Mortgagee reasonable means to protect or preserve a lien and security interest of its S ecurity Instrument, as well as such other documents containing terms and provisions customarily required by Mortgagees (taking into account the customary requirements of their particip ants, syndication partners or rati ng agencies) in connection with any such financing (a “Lender Proposed Amendment”). The City agrees to execu te and deliver (and to acknowledge, if necessary, for recording purposes) any agreement necessary to effectuate a Lender Proposed Amendment; provided, however, that any such Lender Proposed Amendment shall not in any way materially adversely affect any rights of the City under this Agreement. If there is any conflict between this Article 10 and any other provisions c ontained in this Agreement, this Article 10 shall control. Any Mortgagee of the Property shall be entitled to the following rights and privileges:
(a) Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, dimi nish or impair the lien of any Security Instrument on the Property made in good faith and for value, unless otherwise required by law. (b) The Mortgagee of any Security Instrument , or any part thereof, which Mortgagee, has submitted a request in writing t o the City in the manner specified herein for giving notices, shall be ent itled to receive written notification from City of any default by Own er in the performance of Owner’s obligations under this Agreement. (c) If City timely receives a request from a M ortgagee requesting a copy of any notice of default given to Owner under the terms of this Agreement, City shall provide a copy of that notice to the Mortgagee within ten (10) days of sending the notice of default to Owner . The Mortgagee shall have the ri ght, but not the obligation, to cure the default for a period of sixty (60) days after Mortgagee receives written notice of non- compliance, or any longer period as is reasonably necessary, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, to remedy such default , provided that Mortgagee shall continuously and diligently pursue the rem edy at all times until the default is cured.
82 49114321.13
(d) Any Mortgagee who t akes title of the Property, or any part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure trustee's sale, deed in lieu of foreclos ure, lease or sublease termination or otherwise, shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject to the terms of this Agreement , provided that any such Mortgagee, including its affiliate, that takes title to the Property shall be entitled to all of the benefits arising under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgagee shall have an obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform any of Owner’s obligations or other affirmative covenants of Owner hereunder, or to guarantee such performance; provided, however, that to the extent that any covenant to be performed by Owner is a condition precedent to the performance of a covenant by City , the performance thereof shall continue to be a condition precedent to City’s performance hereunder, and further provided that any sale, transfer, or assignment after the initial sale, transfer, or assignment by any Mortgagee shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement. (e) If any Mortgagee is pro hibited from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature of foreclosure by any process or injunction i ssued by any court or by reason of any action by any court having jurisdiction of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving Owner , the times specified in Section clause (c) above, shall be extended for the period of the prohibition, except that any such extension shall not extend the term of this Agreement.
(f) If this Agreement is terminated by reason of ( i) any default or ( ii) as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreeme nt is disaffirmed by a receiver, liquidator, or trustee for Owner or its property, the City, if requested by any Mortgagee, shall negotiate in good faith with such Mortgagee for a ne w development agreement for the Pr oject as to such portion of the Property with the most senior Mortgagee requesting such new agreement. This Agreement does not require any Mortgagee or the City to enter into a new development agreement pursuant to this clause (f).
(g) The City shall, at any time and within thirty (30) days fol lowing the written request of a Mortgagee, but not more often than annually, certify in writing to such Mortgagee that (a) this Agreement is in full force and effect, (b) this Agreem ent has not been amended or modified or, if so amended or modified, identi fying the amendments and modifications, and (c) to the actual knowled ge of City with no duty to investigate, Owner is not in default in the performance of its obligations under this A greement or, if in default, to de scribe therein the nature and extent of any such default. Any such estoppel certificate shall be administrat ively issued by the City Manager or his/her representative or designee.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY FOUND, DETERMINED, AND RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Ontario, as follows:
SECTION 1: Environmental Determination and Findings. As the recommending body for the Project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the previous Certified EIR and supporting documentation. Based upon the facts and information contained in the previous Certified EIR and supporting documentation, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
(1) The environmental impacts of the Project were reviewed in conjunction with an Addendum to the Ontario Center Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 1989041009) (“Certified EIR”), certified by the Ontario City Council on March 19, 1991, in conjunction with File No. 4059-SPA, in combination with an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration, adopted by the Ont ario City Council on May 17, 2017, in conjunction with File No. PSPA16 -003. In addition, an EIR Addendum was adopted by the City Council on April 19, 2022, in conjunction with File No. PSPA21- 001, a Specific Plan Amendment to the Piemonte Overlay at the Ontario Center Specific Plan, in which development and use of the Project site was discussed; and
(2) The previous Certified EIR contains a complete and accurate reporting of the environmental impacts associated with the Project; and
124
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PDA22-003-B
June 28, 2022
(3) The previous Certified EIR was completed in compliance with CEQA and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder; and
(4) The previous Certified EIR reflects t he independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and
(5) The proposed project will introduce no new significant environmental impacts beyond those previously analyzed in the previous Certified EIR, and all mitigation measures previously adopted with the Certified EIR, are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2: Subsequent or Supplemental Environmental Review Not Required. Based on the information presented to the Planning Commission, and the specific findings set forth in Section 1 , above, the Planning Commission finds that the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental Certified EIR is not required for the Project, as the Project:
(1) Does not constitute substantial changes to the Certified EIR that will require major revisions to the Certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and
(2) Does not constitute substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Certified EIR was prepared, that will require major revisions to the Certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and
(3) Does not contain new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Certified EIR was certified/adopted, that shows any of the following:
(a) The Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the Certified EIR; or
(b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the Certified EIR; or
(c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but the City declined to adopt such measures.
SECTION 3: Housing Element Compliance . Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as 125
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PDA22-003-B
June 28, 2022
the recommending body for the Project, the Planning Commission finds that based on the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation, at the time of Project implementation, the project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of The Ontario Plan. The project site is one of the properties listed in the Available Land Inventory contained in Table A -3 (Available Land by Planning Area) of the Housing Element Technical Report Appendix . The proposed changes affect two of the four properties listed in the Available Land Inventory (Subareas 8 and 11; Map ID No. 124 and 125). T he residential capacity proposed in this P roject is consistent with the number of dwelling units (198) and density (48 du/ac) specified in the Available Land Inventory.
SECTION 4: Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”) Compliance. The California State Aeronautics Act (Public Utilities Code Section 21670 et seq.) requires that an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan be prepared for all public use airports in the State; and requires that local land use plans and individual development proposals must be consistent with the policies set forth in the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted the ALUCP, establishing the Airport Influence Area for Ontario International Airport (hereinafter referred to as “ONT”), which encompasses lands within parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties , and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area , as they relate to noise, safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. As the recommending body for the Project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation against the ALUCP compatibility factors, includi ng [ 1] Safety Criteria (ALUCP Table 2-2) and Safety Zones (ALUCP Map 2-2), [2] Noise Criteria (ALUCP Table 2-3) and Noise Impact Zones (ALUCP Map 2 -3), [3] Airspace protection Zones (ALUCP Map 2- 4), and [ 4] Overflight Notification Zones (ALUCP Map 2- 5). As a result, the PLANNING COMMISSION , therefore, finds and determines that the Project, when implemented in conjunction with the conditions of approval, will be consistent with the policies and criteria set forth within the ALUCP.
SECTION 5: Concluding Facts and Reasons. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the above- referenced hearing, and upon the specific findings set forth in Section 1 through 4, above, the Planning Commission hereby concludes as follows:
a. The Development Agreement applies to approximately 1.69 acres of land generally located southwest corner of Ontario Center Parkway and Ferrari Lane; and
b. The Development Agreement establishes parameters for the development of a mixed-use project for Lot B, consisting of 112 residential units and up to 20,802 square feet retail uses , within the proposed Mixed- Use Subarea 17 of the 126

This Application introduces no new significant environmental impacts. All previously adopted mitigation measures are a condition of project approval and are incorporated herein by this reference.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
3.1 Development of the Project ; Rights to Develop.
3.1.1 Development of the Project . In consideration of the premises, purpose s, and intentions set forth in this Agreement , and in consideration of the assurances for development of the Project pursuant to this Agreement , Owner agrees to develop the Project in accordance with: (i) the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (ii) the terms and conditions established in the Developm ent Approvals; and (iii ) the Existing Land Use Regula tions. Owner further agrees that the use, density and intensity, maximum height and size of structures and provisions for the Property reservation and dedication of land for public purposes related to t he Property shall be limited to those uses permitted by the Existing Land Use Regulations . The Project shall be developed in accordance w ith the Development Approvals . The Project shall be constructed in compliance with all applicable building codes and standards, as such may be modified from time to time.
3.1.2 R
ights to Develop. Subject to the terms of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority, Owner shall have a vested right to develop the Project in accordance with the Existing Land Use Re gulations, subject to the terms and conditions of thi s Agreement and the conditions established in the Development Approvals. The Projec t shall remain subject to all Development Approvals required to complete the Project. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the permitted uses of the Property, t he density and intensity of use, the 142
49114321.13
maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation and dedication of land for public purposes shall be those set forth in the Existing Land Use Regulations.
3.2 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations . Except as otherwise provided under the terms of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority, the rules, regulations, and official policies governing permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use of the Property, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to development of the Property shall be the Existing Land Use Regulations. In connection with any Subsequent Developme nt Approval, City shall exercise discretion in accordance with the same manner as it exercises its discretion under its police powers, including the Reservations of Authority set forth herein; provided however, that such discretion shall not prevent development of the Property for the uses and to the density or intensity of development set forth in this Agreement.
3.3 T
iming of Development . The parties acknowledge that Owner cannot at this time predict when or the rate at which the Phased Development will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not within the control of Owner, such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion, and other similar fac tors. Since the California Supreme Court held in Par dee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Ca1. 3d 465, 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 such parties’ agr eement, it is the parties’ intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that Owner shall have the right to develop (without the obligation) the Property in such order and at such rate and at such times as Owner deems appropriate within the exercise of its sole and subjective business judgment during the term of this Agree ment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to (a) Force Majeure Events , (b) up to three one -year extensions of time (provided, however, that (i) only the first one -year extension may be requested by Owner unilaterally and thereafter such extensions must be approved by the City Manager and (ii) such extensions shall not apply to the first milestone (i.e., submission of the building application) for the first of the Lot s of the Phased Development to be developed) and (c) any extensions of entitlements or p ermits granted by any governmental authority on a statewide, citywide or countywide basis , Owner shall achieve the foll owing milestones in accordance with the following schedule:
Event Date
1. Submission by Owner of building permit
application to the City for the Project
On or before one hundred eighty
(180) days following the date a final
Certificate of Occupancy is issu ed
with respect to the building(s) of the
immediately prior phase.
2. Commencement of Construction of the
Project
On or before two (2) y ears following
the date a final Certificate of
Occupancy is issued with respect to
the building(s) of the immediately
prior phase.
143
49114321.13
In order to achieve this milestone,
City agrees to complete its review of
(a) Owner’s initial plan check
submission within t wenty-one (21)
days after receipt of such initial
submission by City (provided,
however, prior to such submission
Owner and the City shall meet to
review the proposed application), and
(b) any additional submissions
required to obtain the required
permits for the project within
fourteen (14) days following receipt
of such additional submissions by
City. There shall be a day -for-day
extension of this Commencement of
Construction milestone if the City
fails to timely respond to such
submissions within the t ime periods
set forth above (each, a “ City
Response Delay”).
3.4 Requirement for Public Infrastructure Improvement s. Owner shall comply with any conditions of the Deve lopment Approvals with respect to providing public infrastructure improvements or f acilities, if any , to the extent required in connection with the Project (as opposed to the other Lots within the Phased Development).
3.5 C hanges and Amendments. The pa rties acknowledge that refinement and further development of the Project will requir e Subsequent Development Approvals and may demonstrate that changes are appropriate and mutually desirable in the Existing Development Approvals. In the event Owner finds t hat a change in the Existing Development Approvals is necessary or appropriate, Own er shall apply for a Subsequent Development Approval to effectuate such change and City shall process and act on such application in accordance with the Existing Land Use R egulations, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority. Unless otherwise required by law, as determined in City ’s reasonable discretion, a change to the Existing Development Approvals shall be deemed “minor” and not require an amendment to this Agreement provided such change does not:
(a) Alter the permitted uses of the Property as a whole; or, (b) Increase the density or intensity of use of the Property as a w hole; (other than in de minimis amounts); or,
144
49114321.13
(c) Increase the maximum height and size of permitted buildings (other than in de minimis amounts); or,
(d) Delete a requirement for the reservation or dedication of land for public purposes within the Property as a whole; or,
(e) Constitute a project requiring a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report pursuant to Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code.
3.6 Reservations of Authority.
3.6.1 Limitations, Reservations and Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the City shall not be prevented from applying new rules, regulations, and policies upon the Owner , nor shall a development agreement prevent the City from denying or conditionally approving any subsequent development project application on the basis of such new rul es, regulations, and policies where the new rules, regulations and policies consist of the following:
(a) Processing fees by City to cover its actual costs of processing applications for, or monitori ng compliance with, any development approvals granted for the performance of any conditions imposed on the Project, unless otherwise waived by the City in writing;

(d) Regulations that may conflict with this Agreement or Existing Land Use Regulations but that are reasonably necessary to protect the residents of the project and/or of the immediate community from a condition perilous to their health or s afety; and are generally applicable on a citywide bas is (except in the event of natural disasters as found by the City Council such as floods, earthquakes, pandemics and similar acts of God);
(e) Reserved;
(f) Regulations to which the Owner consents in writing.
3.6.2 Subsequent Development Approvals . This Agreement shall not prevent City, in acting on Subsequent Development Approvals, from applying Subsequent Land Use 145
