Agenda packet — Ontario City Council, June 20, 2023 (part 2 of 32)

designations to the Project site and adopted the related Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the Certified EIR.

On February 17, 2022, the Applicant submitted the subject Tentative Parcel Map 20517 (File No. PMTT22-005) in conjunction with a Development Plan (File No. PDEV22-008) to facilitate the construction of Planning Areas 3 and 4 of the Specific Plan, consisting of three (3) business park buildings totaling 218,104 square feet and three (3) industrial buildings totaling 1,341,100 square feet respectively.

The Ontario Ranch financial commitments required for construction of properties within a specific plan are substantial. Therefore, in order to adequately forecast these costs and gain assurance that the project may proceed under the existing policies, rules, and regulations, Euclid Land Venture 2 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 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. Pursuant to these procedures and requirements, staff entered into negotiations with the Owner to create a Development Agreement for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.

The Agreement is proposed outside of the NMC Builders’ Construction Agreement development area and was established in coordination between the City Attorney and the Owner’s legal counsel. The provisions of the Agreement are consistent with the commitments to assure adequate public infrastructure improvements are constructed or funded by the Owner.
(2) Staff Analysis — The Agreement proposes to include 80 acres of land within the Industrial and Business Park land use districts of the Specific Plan, as shown on the attached Exhibit A. The Agreement grants the Owner a vested right to develop Tentative Parcel Map 20517 (the “Map”), provided the Owner complies with the terms and conditions of the Specific Plan and related EIR.

The Map (see attached Exhibit B) is bordered by Eucalyptus, Campus, Merrill, and Sultana Avenues, and proposes to subdivide 80 acres of land into six (6) parcels, for the potential development of six (6) industrial buildings totaling 1,559,204 square feet for business park and industrial uses.

The term of the Agreement is for 10 years, with a 5 year option to renew. The main points of the Agreement address funding for all new City expenses created by the project, 235

which includes: Development Impact Fees (“DIF”) for construction of public improvements (i.e. streets and bridges, sewer, water, storm drain and fiber); Public Service Funding to ensure adequate provisions of public services (police, fire and other public services); and the creation of a Community Facilities District (“CFD”) for the maintenance of public facilities. Additionally, Owner shall pay in lieu-fees to the City for the future construction and completion of Ontario Ranch Regional Water and Storm Drain improvements.

Staff finds that the Agreement is consistent with State law, The Ontario Plan, and the City’s Development Agreement policies. As a result, staff is recommending approval of the application to the Planning Commission. If the Planning Commission finds the Agreement is acceptable, a recommendation of approval to the City Council would be appropriate.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: The subject Agreement was advertised as a public hearing in at least one newspaper of general circulation in the City of Ontario (the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper). In addition, notices were mailed to all owners of real property located within a minimum of 300 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property that is the subject of the hearing, as shown on the records of the County Assessor.

CORRESPONDENCE: As of the preparation of this Resolution, Planning Department staff has not received any written or verbal communications from the owners or occupants of properties surrounding the Project site or from the public in general, regarding the subject Agreement.

AGENCY/DEPARTMENT REVIEWS: Each City agency/department has been provided the opportunity to review and comment on the subject Agreement and recommend requirements to be imposed upon the Project. At the time of the Resolution preparation, infrastructure requirements were provided and are included within the subject Agreement to the attached Resolution as "Attachment A." 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 ONT 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. 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 ONT ALUCP compatibility factors, including [1] Safety Criteria (ONT ALUCP Table 2-2) and Safety Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-2), [2] Noise 236

Criteria (ONT ALUCP Table 2-3) and Noise Impact Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-3), [3] Airspace protection Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-4), and [4] Overflight Notification Zones (ONT 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 ONT ALUCP.

On August 2, 2022, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted a Development Code Amendment to establish the Chino Airport ("CNO") Overlay Zoning District ("OZD") and Reference I, Chino Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan ("CNO ALUCP"). The CNO OZD and CNO ALUCP established the Airport Influence Area for Chino Airport, solely within the City of Ontario, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. The CNO ALUCP is consistent with policies and criteria set forth within the Caltrans 2011 California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook. The proposed Project is located within the Airport Influence Area of Chino Airport and was evaluated and found to be consistent with the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook and the CNO ALUCP. 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 CNO ALUCP compatibility factors, including Safety, Airspace Protection, Overflight. 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 California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook and the Chino ALUCP.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE ONTARIO PLAN: The proposed Project is consistent with the principles, goals and policies contained within the Vision, Governance, Policy Plan (general plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan ("TOP"). More specifically, the goals and policies of TOP that are furthered by the proposed Project are as follows:
(1) City Council Goals.
 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  Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)

 Goal CD-2 Design Quality: A high level of design quality resulting in neighborhoods, public spaces, parks, and streetscapes that are attractive, safe, functional, human-scale, and distinct.
 CD-2.1 Quality Building Design and Architecture. We encourage all development projects to convey visual interest and character through:
• Building volume, massing, and height to provide context-appropriate scale and proportion;
• A true architectural style which is carried out in plan, section, and elevation through all aspects of the building and site design and appropriate for its setting; and
• Exterior building materials that are articulated, high quality, durable, and appropriate for the architectural style.
 CD-2.2 Neighborhood Design. We create distinct residential neighborhoods that promote a sense of community and identity by emphasizing access, connectivity, livability, and social interaction through such elements as:
• A pattern of smaller, walkable blocks that promote activity, safety, and access to nearby amenities and services;
• Varied parcel sizes and lot configurations to accommodate a diversity of housing types;
• Traffic calming measures to slow traffic and promote walkability while maintaining acceptable traffic flows and emergency evacuation access; • Floor plans that encourage views onto the street and de-emphasize the visual and physical dominance of garages (introducing the front porch as the "outdoor living room"), as appropriate; and
• Landscaped parkways, with sidewalks separated from the curb and designed to maximize safety, comfort, and aesthetics for all users.  CD-2.7 Sustainability. We collaborate with the development community to design and build neighborhoods, streetscapes, sites, outdoor spaces, landscaping, and buildings to reduce energy demand through solar orientation, maximum use of natural daylight, passive solar and natural ventilation, building form, mechanical and structural systems, building materials, and construction techniques.  CD-2.8 Safe Design. We incorporate defensible space design into new and existing developments to ensure the maximum safe travel and visibility on pathways, corridors, and open space and at building entrances and parking areas by avoiding physically and visually isolated spaces, maintaining visibility and accessibility, and using lighting.
 CD-2.9 Landscape Design. We encourage durable, sustainable, and drought-tolerant landscaping materials and designs that enhance the aesthetics of 240

Page 8 of 11 ends

structures, create and define public and private spaces, and provide shade and environmental benefits.
 CD-2.10 Parking Areas. We require all development, including single-family residential, to minimize the visual impact of surface, structured, and garage parking areas visible from the public realm in an aesthetically pleasing, safe and environmentally sensitive manner. Examples include:
• Surface parking: Shade trees, pervious surfaces, urban run-off capture and infiltration, and pedestrian paths to guide users through the parking field; • Structured parking: facade articulation, screening, appropriate lighting, and landscaping; and
• Garage parking: providing access to single-family residential garages through alley access, recessing garages from the frontage to emphasize front doors or active living spaces.
 CD-2.11 Entry Statements. We encourage the inclusion of amenities, signage, and landscaping at the entry to neighborhoods, commercial centers, mixed use areas, industrial developments, and public places that reinforce them as uniquely identifiable places.
 CD-2.12 Site and Building Signage. We encourage the use of sign programs that utilize complementary materials, colors, and themes. Project signage should be designed to effectively communicate and direct users to various aspects of the development and complement the character of the structures.  CD-2.13 Entitlement Process. We work collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure a high degree of certainty in the efficient review and timely processing of all development plans and permits.
 Goal CD-3 Urban, Mixed Use, and Transit-Oriented Place Types: Vibrant urban environments that are organized around intense buildings, pedestrian and transit areas, public plazas, and linkages between and within developments that are conveniently located, visually appealing and safe during all hours.
 CD-3.2 Comfortable, Human-Scale Public Realm. We require that public spaces, including streets, parks, and plazas on both public and private property be designed to maximize safety, comfort and aesthetics and connect to the citywide pedestrian, vehicular, and bicycle networks.
 CD-3.3 Complete and Connected Network. We require that pedestrian, vehicular, and bicycle circulation on both public and private property be coordinated to provide connections internally and externally to adjacent neighborhoods and properties (existing and planned) through a system of local roads and trails that promote walking and biking to nearby destinations (including existing and planned parks, 241
Planning Commission Staff Report
File No.: PDA21-006
May 23, 2023

Page 9 of 11 ends

commercial areas, and transit stops) and are designed to maximize safety, comfort, and aesthetics.
 CD-3.4 Context-Aware and Appropriate Design. We require appropriate building and site design that complements existing development, respects the intent and identity of the Place Type, and provides appropriate transitions and connections between adjacent uses to ensure compatibility of scale, maintain an appropriate level of privacy for each use, and minimize potential conflicts.  CD-3.5 Active Frontages. We create lively pedestrian streetscapes by requiring primary building, business, and residential entrances, outdoor dining, and storefronts be located on ground floors adjacent to sidewalks or public spaces and designed to maximize safety, comfort, aesthetics, and the intended functionality (as defined by the Place Type).
 CD-3.6 Managed Infrastructure. We collaborate with developers and property owners to facilitate development that realizes the envisioned character and functionality of the Place Type through the use of green and shared infrastructure within each Place Type.
 Goal CD-5 Protection of Investment: A sustained level of maintenance and improvement of properties, buildings, and infrastructure that protects the property values and encourages additional public and private investments.  CD-5.1 Maintenance of Buildings and Property. We require all public and privately-owned buildings and property (including trails and easements) to be properly and consistently maintained.
 CD-5.2 Maintenance of Infrastructure. We require the continual maintenance of infrastructure.

HOUSING ELEMENT COMPLIANCE: The Project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (general plan) component of The Ontario Plan, as the Project site is not one of the properties in the Housing Element Sites contained in Tables B-1 and B-2 (Housing Element Sites Inventory) of the Housing Element Technical Report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The environmental impacts of this project were previously reviewed in conjunction with the Ontario Ranch Business Park Specific Plan Amendment (File No. PSPA21-002), for which a Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2019050018) was certified by the City Council on October 18, 2022.

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.

SECTION 3: Housing Element Compliance. Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as the recommending authority 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, as the project site is not one of the properties in the Housing Element Sites Inventory contained in Tables B-1 and B-2 of the Housing Element Technical Report.

SECTION 4: 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.
(1) 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. 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 ONT ALUCP compatibility factors, including [1] Safety Criteria (ONT ALUCP Table 2-2) and Safety Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-2), [2] Noise Criteria (ONT ALUCP Table 2-3) and Noise Impact Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-3), [3] Airspace protection Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-4), and [4] Overflight Notification Zones (ONT 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 ONT ALUCP; and (2) On August 2, 2022, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted a Development Code Amendment to establish the Chino Airport ("CNO") Overlay Zoning District ("OZD") and Reference I, Chino Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan ("CNO ALUCP"). The CNO OZD and CNO ALUCP established the Airport Influence Area for Chino Airport, solely within the City of Ontario, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. The CNO ALUCP is consistent with policies and criteria set forth within the Caltrans 2011 California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook. The proposed Project is located within the Airport Influence Area of Chino Airport and was evaluated and found to be consistent with the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook and the CNO ALUCP. As the 248

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 CNO ALUCP compatibility factors, including Safety, Airspace Protection, Overflight. 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 California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook and the Chino 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:
(1) The Development Agreement applies to approximately 80 acres of land bordered by Eucalyptus, Campus, Merrill, and Sultana Avenues, located within the Business Park and Industrial General land use districts of the Ontario Ranch Business Park Specific Plan Amendment (File No. PSPA21-002); and (2) The Development Agreement establishes parameters for the development of land within the Ontario Ranch Business Park Specific Plan. The Development Agreement also grants the Applicant, the right to develop, the ability to quantify the fees; and establish the terms and conditions that apply to those projects. These terms and conditions are consistent with The Ontario Plan Policy Plan (General Plan), design guidelines and development standards for the Ontario Ranch Business Park Specific Plan; and
(3) The Development Agreement grants the Owner a vested right to develop Tentative Parcel Map 20517 (File No. PMTT22-005) as long as the Owner complies with the terms and conditions of the Ontario Ranch Business Park Specific Plan and EIR.

Page 6 ends

(7) This Development Agreement will not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and will not have a significant impact on the environment or the surrounding properties. The environmental impacts of this project were previously reviewed in conjunction with the Ontario Ranch Business Park Specific Plan Amendment (File No. PSPA21-002), for which a Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2019050018) was certified by City Council on October 18, 2022; and
(8) 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 Rights to Develop. Subject to the terms of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority in Section 3.4, OWNER shall have a vested right to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, the Development Plan. The Project shall remain subject to all Subsequent Development Approvals required to complete the Project as contemplated by the Development Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the 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 Development Plan.

3.2 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority in Section 3.4, 264
46700.10300\33554440.1
12 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 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 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 Timing of Development. The parties acknowledge that OWNER cannot at this time predict when or the rate at which phases of the Property 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 factors. Since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v.

City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal. 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' agreement, it is the parties' intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that OWNER shall have the right to develop the Property in such order and at such rate and at such times as OWNER deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment.

3.3.1 Infrastructure Improvement Exhibit. Attached hereto as Exhibits “E” and "F" are a description and depiction, respectively, of the Improvements needed for the development of the Property. In the event of any discrepancy between Exhibit E and Exhibit F, Exhibit F shall control.

3.4 Reservations of Authority.

3.4.1 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 rules, regulations and policies where the new rules, regulations and policies consist of the following:
(a) Processing fees by CITY to cover costs of processing applications for development approvals or for monitoring compliance with any development approvals; (b) Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records and any other matter of procedure; (c) Regulations, policies and rules governing engineering and construction standards and specifications applicable to public and private improvements, including all uniform codes adopted by the CITY and any local amendments to those codes adopted by the CITY; provided however that, OWNER shall have a vested right to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, the standards and specifications that 265
46700.10300\33554440.1
13 are expressly identified in the Specific Plan and the building codes in effect as of the Effective Date;
(d) Regulations that may conflict with this Agreement and the Development Plan but that are reasonably necessary to protect the occupants of the Project and/or of the immediate community from a condition perilous to their health or safety; (e) Regulations that do not conflict with those rules, regulations and policies set forth in this Agreement or the Development Plan and which do not impose additional obligations, costs, and expenses on OWNER or the Project; (f) Regulations that may conflict with this Agreement but to which the OWNER consents.

3.4.2 Subsequent Development Approvals. This Agreement shall not prevent CITY, in acting on Subsequent Development Approvals, from applying Subsequent Land Use Regulations that do not conflict with the Development Plan and/or the Existing Development Approvals, nor shall this Agreement prevent CITY from denying or conditionally approving any Subsequent Development Approval on the basis of the Existing Land Use Regulations or any Subsequent Land Use Regulation not in conflict with the Development Plan and/or the Existing Development Approvals.

3.4.3 Modification or Suspension by State or Federal Law. In the event that State or Federal laws or regulations, enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement, prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such State or Federal laws or regulations, provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions impractical to enforce. In the event OWNER alleges that such State or Federal laws or regulations preclude or prevent compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, and the CITY does not agree, the OWNER may, at its sole cost and expense, seek declaratory relief (or other similar non-monetary remedies); provided however, that nothing contained in this Section 3.4.3 shall impose on CITY any monetary liability for contesting such declaratory relief (or other similar non-monetary relief).

3.4.4 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that CITY is restricted in its authority to limit its police power by contract and that the foregoing limitations, reservations and exceptions are intended to reserve to CITY all of its police power which cannot be so limited. This Agreement shall be construed, contrary to its stated terms if necessary, to reserve to CITY all such power and authority which cannot be restricted by contract.

3.5 Public Works; Utilities. If OWNER is required by this Agreement or a condition of Project approval to construct any public works facilities which will be dedicated to CITY or any other public agency upon completion, and if required by applicable laws to do so, 266
46700.10300\33554440.1
14 OWNER shall perform such work in the same manner and subject to the same standards as would be applicable to CITY or such other public agency should it have undertaken such construction. As a condition of development approval, OWNER shall connect the Project to all utilities necessary to provide adequate water, recycled water, sewer, gas, electric, and other utility services necessary for the Project, as further described and depicted in the Infrastructure Improvements Exhibit. As a further condition of development approval, OWNER shall to the extent possible contract with the CITY for CITY-owned or operated utilities for this purpose, for such price and on such terms as may be available to similarly situated customers in the CITY. As a further condition of development approval, to the extent OWNER does not own the Property in fee simple, OWNER will provide to CITY the written consent from the current fee owner of the Property agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and the recordation thereof, pursuant to Section 2.2.

3.5.1 OWNER agrees that development of the Project shall require the construction of storm drain Improvements from the Property described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F.

OWNER shall pay the CITY, prior to the request for occupancy of any building on the Property, Two Million Eight Hundred Eighty Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Dollars ($2,880,450). Upon OWNER’S complete payment of the Euclid Avenue Storm Drain InLieu Fee, the CITY shall issue a Certificate of DIF Credit in the Regional Storm Drain category equal to the amount paid to the CITY. Such Regional Storm Drain DIF Certificate shall be issued by CITY within thirty (30) business days of the receipt of such required payment. OWNER and CITY agree that CITY may issue grading, building and other required permits for OWNER to initiate construction of structures for the Property according to plans approved by CITY, and OWNER agrees that OWNER shall not request and CITY shall not issue a final occupancy permit for any buildings prior to payment of the Euclid Avenue Storm Drain In-Lieu Fee and construction of the storm drain Improvements described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F. CITY and OWNER mutually acknowledge and agree, that upon OWNER’s complete payment of the Euclid Avenue Storm Drain In-Lieu Fee, such obligation shall be deemed satisfied and CITY shall not hold up a request for final occupancy permit for any buildings on the Property, based on the actual construction and completion of the ultimate Euclid Avenue storm drain Improvements. CITY agrees that OWNER may request that CITY issue temporary certificates of occupancy on a building-by-building basis prior to completion of the storm drain improvements.

3.5.2 OWNER agrees that development of the Project shall require the construction of street Improvements as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F.

For purposes of the foregoing, street Improvements shall be deemed 267
46700.10300\33554440.1

CITY agrees that OWNER may request that CITY issue temporary certificates of occupancy on a building-by-building basis prior to completion and subject to final acceptance by CITY of the street Improvements. OWNER agrees that the street improvements shall be completed and subject to final acceptance by CITY prior to the release of any security for the construction of the street improvements. OWNER and CITY agree that a portion of the street Improvements described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F may be constructed by others, or pursuant to a cooperative agreement with others. If such street Improvements are constructed by others, or in cooperation with others, and are completed and accepted by CITY prior to OWNER's request to CITY of the required grading, building or other required permits for OWNER to initiate construction of structures for the Property, then OWNER shall not be required to construct those street Improvements constructed and completed by others and accepted by CITY.

3.5.3 OWNER agrees that development of the Property shall require the construction of water utility Improvements as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F consisting generally of the construction of the potable water Improvements to serve the Property as described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F.

3.7 Real Property Interests.

3.7.1 CITY Acquisition of Offsite Property. In the event OWNER is required to construct any public improvements on land not owned by OWNER, Sections 3.7.1 and

3.7.2 shall control the acquisition of the Offsite Property. If the OWNER is unable to acquire such Offsite Property, and following the written request from the OWNER to CITY, CITY agrees to use reasonable and diligent good faith efforts to acquire the Offsite Property from the owner or owners of record by negotiation to the extent permitted by law and consistent with this Agreement. If CITY is unable to acquire the Offsite Property by negotiation within thirty (30) days after OWNER'S written request, CITY may, initiate proceedings utilizing its power of eminent domain to acquire the Offsite Property at a public hearing noticed and conducted in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235 for the purpose of considering the adoption of a resolution of necessity concerning the Offsite Property, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.7.1 The CITY and OWNER acknowledge that the timelines set forth in this Section 3.7.1 represent the maximum time periods which CITY and OWNER reasonably believe will be necessary to complete the acquisition of any Offsite Property. CITY agrees to use reasonable good faith efforts to complete the actions described within lesser time periods, to the extent that it is reasonably able to do so, consistent with the legal constraints imposed upon CITY.

3.7.2 Owner's Option to Terminate Proceedings. CITY shall provide written notice to OWNER no later than fifteen (15) days prior to making an offer to the owner of the Offsite Property. At any time within that fifteen (15) day period, OWNER may, at its option, notify CITY that it wants CITY to cease all acquisition proceedings with respect to that Offsite Property, whereupon CITY shall cease such proceedings. CITY may provide written notice to OWNER no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the hearing on CITY's intent to consider the adoption of a resolution of necessity as to any Offsite Property. At any time within that fifteen (15) day period, OWNER may, at its option, notify CITY that it wants CITY to cease condemnation proceedings, whereupon CITY shall cease such proceedings. If OWNER does not notify CITY to cease condemnation proceedings within said fifteen (15) day period, then the CITY may proceed to consider and act upon the Offsite Property resolution of necessity. If CITY adopts such resolution 270
46700.10300\33554440.1
18 of necessity, then CITY may institute condemnation proceedings and file a complaint in condemnation and seek an order of immediate possession with respect to the Offsite Property.

3.8 Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that other public agencies not within the control of CITY possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the Property separately from or jointly with CITY and this Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies. CITY agrees to cooperate fully, at no cost to CITY, with OWNER in obtaining any required permits or compliance with the regulations of other public agencies provided such cooperation is not in conflict with any laws, regulations or policies of the CITY.

3.9 Tentative Parcel Maps.

In accordance with the provisions of Section 66452.6 of the Government Code, each tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map, heretofore or hereafter approved in connection with development of the Property, shall be deemed to have been granted an extension of time to and until the expiration, cancellation, or termination of this Agreement.

3.10 Specific Plan Charge. Pursuant to Government Code section 65456, the City Council may consider adopting a specific plan charge upon persons seeking CITY approvals that are required to be consistent with the Specific Plan. Any such charges shall, in the aggregate, defray, but not exceed, the estimated cost of preparation, adoption, and administration of the Specific Plan, including costs incurred pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq.). As nearly as can be estimated, the charges shall be a prorated amount in accordance with the applicant’s relative benefit derived from the Specific Plan. If such charges are adopted, the CITY shall use such charges to reimburse the OWNER who originally paid the cost of preparing the Specific Plan, including costs incurred pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq.) to the extent the OWNER paid more than its relative benefit from the Specific Plan. Such charges, if adopted, shall be imposed on persons seeking CITY approvals that are required to be consistent with the Specific Plan, to the extent such person(s) has/have not entered into a reimbursement agreement with, and satisfactory to, the person(s) originally responsible for the cost of preparing the Specific Plan, including costs incurred pursuant to CEQA.

4. PUBLIC BENEFITS.

4.1 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that development of the Property will result in substantial public needs that will not be fully met by the Development Plan and further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement confers substantial private benefits on OWNER that should be balanced by commensurate public benefits. Accordingly, the parties intend to provide consideration to the public to balance the private benefits 271
46700.10300\33554440.1
19 conferred on OWNER by providing more fully for the satisfaction of the public needs resulting from the Project.

4.2 Development Impact Fees.

4.2.2 Time of Payment. The Development Impact Fees required pursuant to Section 4.2.1 shall be paid to CITY prior to the issuance of building permit for each applicable building (subject to the application/use of available fee deferrals or credits), except for the Species, Habitat Conservation, and Open Space Mitigation Development Impact Fee, which shall be paid by OWNER to CITY prior to the issuance of a grading permit.

4.3 Responsibility for Construction of Public Improvements.

4.3.1 Timely Construction of Public Infrastructure. The phasing of the area wide infrastructure construction within the vicinity of the Project shall be as approved by the CITY. OWNER shall be responsible for the timely construction and completion of all public infrastructure required for the Project as described and depicted in the Infrastructure Improvements Exhibit and any and all parcel map conditions. Unless otherwise specified in the Parcel Map conditions, and subject to the provisions of Section

3.5 and 3.6, all other required Improvements for the parcel map, shall be substantially completed and operational prior to, and as a condition precedent to, OWNER requesting and CITY's granting of a final occupancy permit for any buildings to be constructed on the Property within the applicable parcel map. All Infrastructure and Improvements shall be completed as required by the Subdivision Agreement/Parcel Map conditions for Parcel Map No. 20517.

4.3.3 Construction of Public Infrastructure by Third Parties. CITY and OWNER acknowledge that a portion of the Improvements described in Exhibit E and depicted in Exhibit F are necessary for the development of surrounding properties within the Ontario Ranch and the other property owners are also obligated to construct the Improvements or portions thereof. As such, CITY agrees that OWNER's obligation to construct the Improvements may be satisfied by third party owners pursuant to separate written agreements between OWNER and said third party undertaking the construction of the Improvements. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the coordination of the construction of the Improvements between private parties, including the allocation of costs for the construction of the Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to the 272
46700.10300\33554440.1
20 contrary herein, any applicable DIF Credits may be transferred and assigned from one (1) party to another with respect to the construction of the Improvements and such transfer or assignment shall not require the conveyance of any real property.

4.3.4 Availability and Use of Recycled Water. OWNER agrees that recycled water shall be available and utilized by OWNER for all construction-related water uses including prior to, and during, any grading of the Property. OWNER and CITY agree that OWNER may, in-lieu of utilizing recycled water during grading and construction, utilize water from existing agricultural wells on the Property subject to the terms of a separate Well Use Agreement between the CITY and OWNER.

4.3.5 Construction of DIF Program Infrastructure. To the extent OWNER is required to construct and completes construction of public improvements that are included in CITY's Development Impact Fee Program, CITY agrees that CITY shall issue DIF Credit in accordance with the provisions of a separate Fee Credit Agreement between CITY and OWNER. Limitations on the use of DIF Credit issued to OWNER to offset OWNER's DIF payment obligations shall also be subject to the provisions of a separate Fee Credit Agreement. OWNER may be eligible to receive DIF Credit from OWNER's construction of DIF Program Infrastructure. Any such DIF Credit shall be subject to a Fee Credit Agreement between CITY and OWNER. CITY and OWNER agree that the Fee Credit Agreement between CITY and OWNER shall comply with CITY's adopted policies applicable to such agreements.

4.4 Public Services Funding Fee.

4.4.1 Requirement for Payment of Public Services Funding Fee. In order to ensure that the adequate provision of public services, including without limitation, police, fire and other public safety services, are available to each Project in a timely manner, OWNER shall pay to CITY a "Public Services Funding Fee." The Public Services Funding Fee shall apply to residential and non-residential uses as set forth below.

4.4.2 Public Services Funding Fee Amount. OWNER shall pay a Public Services Funding fee in a single installment payment in the amount of Seventy-Five Cents ($.75) per square foot of each non-residential building. The single installment for nonresidential uses shall be due and payable on a building-by-building basis prior to the issuance of the building permit for a non-residential building. The amount of the Single Installment for non-residential uses shall automatically increase by percentage increase (but no decrease) in the Consumer Price Index (Riverside – San Bernardino – Ontario, CA), (December 2017=100) over the preceding year on January 1st of each year, beginning on January 1, 2024. OWNER may exercise the option to pay any single installment amounts for the remainder of the non-residential square footage within the Project on or before December 31st, before the Single Installment amount is automatically increased.

4.5 Water Availability.
273
46700.10300\33554440.1
21 4.5.1 Water Availability. The Property requires the completion of the Phase 2 Water Improvements (Phase 2A and 2B) for permanent water system capacity and supply. Until the Phase 2 Water Improvements are fully constructed and completed, OWNER acknowledges that the Project shall have sufficient water capacity and supply on an interim basis made available through the construction of the Potable Water Improvements (as described in Exhibit E), the Phase 2A Water Improvements, and the Interim Chino Avenue Loop depicted in Exhibit F. OWNER acknowledges and agrees that the CITY shall not issue final certificates of occupancy for the Project until the completion of the Potable Water Improvements (as described in Exhibit E), the Phase 2A Water Improvements and the Interim Chino Avenue Loop, as depicted in Exhibit F. OWNER further acknowledges and agrees the Property requires the Phase 2 Water Improvements as depicted in Exhibit F.

4.5.2 Phase 2 Water Construction Fee. Prior to CITY’s issuance of a grading permit for any parcel of the Property (each, a “Grading Permit”), OWNER shall pay to CITY the applicable Phase 2 Water Construction Fee. The Phase 2 Water Construction Fee shall be calculated based on the following formula: (a) the regional water development impact fee, based on the square footage of developable property and the approved land use category for each Phase of the Project (the “Base Regional Water DIF”), PLUS (b) OWNER’s pro rata share of the difference between the total projected cost of construction of the Phase 2 Water Improvements (the “Pro Rata Share”) and the Base Regional Water DIF. To determine the Pro Rata Share, which may fluctuate over time, CITY shall, at the time OWNER applies for a Grading Permit, calculate the total projected cost of construction of the Phase 2 Water Improvements and subtract from that amount (y) all Phase 2 Water Construction Fees previously collected and (z) the aggregate Base Regional Water DIF to be paid by OWNER and all developers then at that time obligated to pay a Base Regional Water DIF specifically for use of the Phase 2 Water Improvements (together, the “Phase 2 Water Developers”). If the difference is zero or a number less than zero, then there is no Pro Rata Share and the Phase 2 Water Construction Fee shall equal the sum of all Base Regional Water DIF to be paid by all Phase 2 Water Developers. If the difference results in a positive number, the funding gap (the “Funding Gap”) shall be divided by the total acreage of land to be developed by the Phase 2 Water Developers to obtain a Funding Gap “per acre” amount (the “Funding Gap Per Acre Amount”). Each Phase 2 Water Developer’s respective total acreage to be developed shall then be multiplied by the Funding Gap Per Acre Amount to obtain each Phase 2 Water Developer’s Pro Rata Share, which will then be added to each Phase 2 Water Developer’s Base Regional Water DIF to obtain the Phase 2 Water Construction Fee due and payable at the time of issuance of the applicable Grading Permit.

4.5.3 DIF Credit for Phase 2 Water Construction Fees. Within thirty (30) days of OWNER's payment of each Phase 2 Water Construction Fee, CITY shall issue a certificate of DIF Credit which may be used to offset OWNER's DIF obligations in the Regional Water DIF Category. The form of the Certificate of DIF Credit shall be as described in Exhibit G, attached hereto and incorporated herein. OWNER acknowledges that any Regional Water DIF Credit issued to OWNER shall not be used to satisfy Phase 2 Water Construction Fees and may only be used to offset OWNER’s DIF obligations in the Regional Water DIF Category.
274
46700.10300\33554440.1
22 4.5.4 Additional Contributions for Phase 2 Water Improvements. OWNER acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the CITY does not have sufficient funding to construct and complete the Phase 2 Water Improvements.

OWNER agrees to provide the CITY with additional contributions for the Phase 2 Water Improvements prior to the issuance of a Grading Permit for any Phase within the Project, pursuant to the Pro Rata Share calculation as set forth in Section 4.5.2 above. OWNER acknowledges and agrees that the CITY has the right to conduct subsequent reviews of the available funding for the construction of, or continuation of the construction of, the Phase 2 Water Improvements. If at any time outside of OWNER’s submission of a request for a Grading Permit the CITY determines that there is not sufficient funding for the construction of, or continuation of the construction of, the Phase 2 Water Improvements necessary to support current and anticipated future development within the Ontario Ranch area served by the Phase 2 Water Improvements, OWNER agrees to pay such subsequent additional contribution payment necessary from the OWNER (on a pro rata basis with other Phase 2 Water Developers then existing at the time) to the CITY to initiate construction of, or continue construction of, the Phase 2 Water Improvements. The CITY shall determine OWNER’s additional contribution amount (above and beyond OWNER’s Pro Rata Share) and such amount shall be due and payable to the CITY within thirty (30) days of written notice from the CITY to OWNER.

4.5.5 Future Reimbursement of Pro Rata Share of Phase 2 Water Construction Fees. OWNER agrees that the CITY will be responsible for the construction and completion of the Phase 2 Water Improvements, as depicted in Exhibit F. Subject to the successful completion of the Phase 2 Water Improvements, CITY and OWNER shall meet periodically and/or as needed from the date of completion of the Phase 2 Water Improvements, to jointly develop a plan and mutually enter into an agreement for the reimbursement of OWNER’s Pro Rata Share of Phase 2 Water Construction Fees that may be reimbursed from future development in the 925 Zone as depicted in the City’s Domestic Water Master Plan, following any reallocation of each Phase 2 Water Developer’s Pro Rata Share, CITY’s collection of additional Regional Water DIF in connection with construction of the Phase 2 Water Improvements, and after the completion of the Phase 2 Water Improvements. Such agreement shall be approved at the sole discretion of the Ontario City Council.

4.6 Compliance with Public Benefits Requirements.

4.6.1 Failure to Provide Public Benefits. In the event OWNER fails or refuses to comply with any condition referenced in Section 4.1 through 4.5, or challenges (whether administratively or through legal proceedings) the imposition of such conditions, OWNER shall be deemed in default of this Agreement, thereby entitling CITY to any and all remedies available to it, including, without limitation, the right of CITY to withhold OWNER's Project-related building permits, certificates of occupancy, or discretionary approvals, without liability. Nothing herein shall waive OWNER's right to assert a default (or failure to perform) by CITY has excused OWNER's performance under this Agreement.
275
46700.10300\33554440.1
23 5. FINANCING OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

5.1 Financing Mechanism(s). OWNER agrees that, prior to the recordation of any Parcel Map, the property subject to such Parcel Map shall be included in a CFD to finance CITY services through annual special taxes that will initially be Twenty-Seven Cents ($.27) per square foot for non-residential buildings. These amounts shall be subject to an automatic increase at a rate not to exceed four (4%) percent per year. Depending on the fiscal year that the CFD is formed and the CFD tax is levied, the annual special taxes may be higher. CITY shall be the sole and exclusive lead agency in the formation of any CFD, assessment district or other public financing mechanism within the Property; provided however, that the proceeds of any such CFD, assessment district, or financing mechanism may be used, subject to restrictions that may be imposed by applicable law, for the purposes of acquiring, constructing or maintaining public facilities to be owned or operated by other public agencies, including, without limitation those facilities owned or operated by a school district. In addition to the rights of the CITY pursuant to section 5.1 hereof, CITY shall have the right, but not the obligation, to condition the formation of any CFD, assessment district or other public financing mechanism within the Property on the OWNER mitigating all Project-related impacts to the applicable school district(s) as required by such school district(s). Written evidence by such school district(s) may be required by the CITY as the condition to the formation of any CFD, assessment district or other public financing mechanism within the Property, or any steps preliminary thereto, including, without limitation, the adoption of any resolution of intention to form such CFD, assessment district or other public financing mechanism within the Property. It is not the intent of the parties hereto, by this provision, to prohibit or otherwise limit CITY’s ability to take any and all necessary steps requisite to the formation of the CFD to finance CITY services through annual special taxes as set forth in this Section 5.1. Formation of any CFD, assessment district or other public financing mechanism within the Property, shall be subject to CITY's ability to make all findings required by applicable law and complying with all applicable legal procedures and requirements including, without limitation, CITY's public financing district policies as such policies may be amended from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring CITY or the City Council to form any such district.

9. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

9.1 Remedies in General. It is acknowledged by the parties that CITY would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable in damages under this Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement or the application thereof. In general, each of the parties hereto may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, except that (i) CITY shall not be liable in damages to OWNER, or to any successor in interest of OWNER, or to any other person, and OWNER covenants not to sue for damages or claim any damages and (ii) OWNER shall not be liable in damages to CITY, or to any other person, and CITY covenants not to sue for damages or claim any damages:
278
46700.10300\33554440.1
26 (a) For any breach of this Agreement or for any cause of action which arises out of this Agreement; or
(b) For the taking, impairment or restriction of any right or interest conveyed or provided under or pursuant to this Agreement; or
(c) Arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.

CITY has determined that this Agreement is consistent with the General Plan, as such General Plan exists as of the Effective Date ("General Plan"), and that the General Plan meets all requirements of law. OWNER has reviewed the General Plan and concurs with CITY's determination. CITY shall have no liability in damages under this Agreement for any failure of CITY to perform under this Agreement or the inability of OWNER to develop the Property as contemplated by the Development Plan or this Agreement as the result of a judicial determination that on the Effective Date, or at any time thereafter, the General Plan, or portions thereof, are invalid or inadequate or not in compliance with law.

10.2 Third Party Litigation Concerning Agreement.

CITY shall promptly notify OWNER of any such claim, action or proceeding, and CITY shall cooperate in the defense. If CITY fails to promptly notify OWNER of any such claim, action or proceeding, or if CITY fails to cooperate in the defense, OWNER shall not thereafter be responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless CITY. CITY may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding.

10.3 Indemnity. In addition to the provisions of Section 10.2 above, OWNER shall indemnify and hold CITY, its officers, agents, employees and independent contractors free and harmless from any liability whatsoever, based or asserted upon any act or omission of OWNER, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors and independent contractors, for property damage, bodily injury, or death (OWNER's employees included) or any other element of damage of any kind or nature, to the extent relating to or in any way connected with or arising from the activities contemplated hereunder, including, but not limited to, the study, design, engineering, construction, completion, failure and 280
46700.10300\33554440.1
28 conveyance of the public improvements, save and except claims for damages arising through the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of CITY. OWNER shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys' fees, CITY, its officers, agents, employees and independent contractors in any legal action based upon such alleged acts or omissions. CITY may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such legal action.

OWNER’s indemnity obligation shall terminate following CITY’s legal acceptance of (i.e. taking of title to) the Improvements.

10.4 Environment Assurances. OWNER shall indemnify and hold CITY, its officers, agents, and employees free and harmless from any liability, to the extent based or asserted, upon any act or omission of OWNER, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and independent contractors for any violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating to industrial hygiene or to environmental conditions on, under or about the Property during OWNER'S period of ownership of the Property, including, but not limited to, soil and groundwater conditions caused by OWNER, and OWNER shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys' fees, CITY, its officers, agents and employees in any action based or asserted upon any such alleged act or omission. CITY may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such action.

10.5 Reservation of Rights. With respect to Sections 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 herein, CITY reserves the right to either (1) approve the attorney(s) which OWNER selects, hires or otherwise engages to defend CITY hereunder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (2) conduct its own defense, provided, however, that OWNER shall reimburse CITY forthwith for any and all reasonable expenses incurred for such defense, including attorneys' fees, upon billing and accounting therefor.

10.6 Survival. The provisions of this Sections 10.1 through 10.6, inclusive, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.

11.1 Mortgagee Protection. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall 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 Property. CITY acknowledges that the lenders providing such financing may require certain Agreement interpretations and modifications and agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with OWNER and representatives of such lenders to negotiate in good faith any such request for interpretation or modification. CITY will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requested interpretation or modification provided such interpretation or modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement. 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, diminish or impair the lien of any mortgage on the Property made in good faith and for value, unless otherwise required by law.
281
46700.10300\33554440.1
29 (b) The Mortgagee of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property, or any part thereof, which Mortgagee, has submitted a request in writing to the CITY in the manner specified herein for giving notices, shall be entitled to receive written notification from CITY of any default by OWNER in the performance of OWNER's obligations under this Agreement.
(c) If CITY timely receives a request from a Mortgagee 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 right, but not the obligation, to cure the default during the remaining cure period allowed such party under this Agreement. (d) Any Mortgagee who comes into possession of the Property, or any part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust, or deed in lieu of such foreclosure, shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject to the terms of 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 by any Mortgagee in possession shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement (e) In the event of a default by OWNER, any Mortgagee shall have the right to remedy, or cause to be remedied, such default within sixty (60) days following the later to occur of (i) the date of Mortgagee's receipt of the notice referred to in Section 9.4 above, or (ii) the expiration of the period provided herein for OWNER to remedy or cure such default, and CITY shall accept such performance by or at the insistence of the Mortgagee as if the same had been timely made by OWNER; provided, however, that (i) if such default is not capable of being cured within the timeframes set forth in this Section and Mortgagee commences to cure the default within such timeframes, then Mortgagee shall have such additional time as is required to cure the default so long as Mortgagee diligently prosecutes the cure to completion and (ii) if possession of the Property (or portion thereof) is required to effectuate such cure or remedy, the Mortgagee shall be deemed to have timely cured or remedied if it commences the proceedings necessary to obtain possession thereof within sixty (60) days after receipt of the copy of the notice, diligently pursues such proceedings to completion, and, after obtaining possession, diligently completes such cure or remedy.

12.3 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be determined invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby to the extent such remaining provisions are not rendered impractical to perform taking into consideration the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision of the Public Benefits set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, including the payment of the fees set forth therein, are essential elements of this Agreement and CITY would not have entered into this Agreement but for such provisions, and therefore in the event such provisions are determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, this entire Agreement shall be null and void and of no force and effect whatsoever.

12.4 Interpretation and Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising hereunder shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no owner of a single lot which has been finally subdivided and sold to such owner as a member of the general public or otherwise as an ultimate user shall have any obligation under this Agreement except as provided under Section 4 hereof.

12.8 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of the provisions of this Agreement as to which time is an element.

46700.10300\33554440.1
31 12.9 Waiver. Failure by a party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party, or the failure by a party to exercise its rights upon the default of the other party, shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to insist and demand strict compliance by the other party with the terms of this Agreement thereafter.

12.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. No other person shall have any right of action based upon any provision of this Agreement.

If any such events shall occur, the term of this Agreement and the time for performance by either party of any of its obligations hereunder may be extended by the written agreement of the parties for the period of time that such events prevented such performance, provided that the term of this Agreement shall not be extended under any circumstances for more than five (5) years.

12.13 Successors in Interest. The burdens of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and the benefits of this Agreement shall inure to, all successors in interest to the parties to this Agreement. All provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and constitute covenants running with the land. Each covenant to do or refrain from doing some act hereunder with regard to development of the Property: (a) is for the benefit of and is a burden upon every portion of the Property; (b) runs with the Property and each portion thereof; and, (c) is binding upon each party and each successor in interest during ownership of the Property or any portion thereof.

12.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, which counterparts shall be construed together and have the same effect as if all of the parties had executed the same instrument.

The City Manager may delegate his powers and duties under this Agreement to an Assistant City Manager or other management level employee of the CITY.

12.18 Eminent Domain. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to limit or restrict the exercise by CITY of its power of eminent domain.

12.19 Agent for Service of Process. In the event OWNER is not a resident of the State of California or it is an association, partnership or joint venture without a member, partner or joint venturer resident of the State of California, or it is a foreign corporation, then in any such event, OWNER shall file with the Planning Director, upon its execution of this Agreement, a designation of a natural person residing in the State of California, giving his or her name, residence and business addresses, as its agent for the purpose of service of process in any court action arising out of or based upon this Agreement, and the delivery to such agent of a copy of any process in any such action shall constitute valid service upon OWNER. If for any reason service of such process upon such agent is not feasible, then in such event OWNER may be personally served with such process out of this County and such service shall constitute valid service upon OWNER. OWNER is amenable to the process so served, submits to the jurisdiction of the Court so obtained and waives any and all objections and protests thereto.

46700.10300\33554440.1
33 except as may be represented by the requesting party and that there are no uncured defaults in the performance of the requesting party, except as may be represented by the requesting party.

WHEREAS, the Applicant has submitted a Tentative Parcel Map 20517 (File No.

PSPA21-002), for which an Environmental Impact Report — State Clearinghouse No. 2019050018 — (hereinafter referred to as "Certified EIR") was adopted by the City Council on October 18, 2022, and this Application introduces no new significant environmental impacts; and
WHEREAS, Ontario Development Code Table 2.02-1 (Review Matrix) grants the City Council the responsibility and authority to review and act on the subject Application; and
WHEREAS, the Project is located within the Airport Influence Area of Ontario International Airport ("ONT"), which encompasses lands within parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties, and is subject to, and must be consistent with, the policies and criteria set forth in the Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP), which applies only to jurisdictions within San Bernardino County, and addresses the noise, safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity; and
309
WHEREAS, City of Ontario Development Code Division 2.03 (Public Hearings) prescribes the manner in which public notification shall be provided and hearing procedures to be followed, and all such notifications and procedures have been completed; and
WHEREAS, the Project has been reviewed for consistency with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan component of The Ontario Plan, as State Housing Element law (as prescribed in Government Code Sections 65580 through 65589.8) requires that development projects must be consistent with the Housing Element, if upon consideration of all its aspects, it is found to further the purposes, principals, goals, and policies of the Housing Element; and

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY FOUND, DETERMINED, AND ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Ontario, as follows:

SECTION 1. Environmental Determination and Findings. As the decision-making body for the Project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record for the Project. Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds as follows:
(1) The environmental impacts of this project were previously reviewed in conjunction with the Ontario Ranch Business Park Specific Plan Amendment (File No.

PSPA21-002), for which a Certified EIR was adopted by the City Council on October 18, 2022; and
(2) The previous Certified EIR contains a complete and accurate reporting of the environmental impacts associated with the Project; and (3) The previous Certified EIR was completed in compliance with CEQA and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder; and
(4) The previous Certified EIR reflects the 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.
310
SECTION 2. Subsequent or Supplemental Environmental Review Not Required. Based on the information presented to the City Council and the specific findings set forth in Section 1, above, the City Council 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; or (d) Mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those analyzed in the Certified EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the City declined to adopt.

SECTION 3. Housing Element Compliance. Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as the decision making body for the Project, the City Council 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, as the project site is not one of the properties in the Housing Element Sites Inventory contained in Tables B-1 and B-2 of the Housing Element Technical Report.

SECTION 4. 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.
311
(1) 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. As the decision-making body for the Project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation against the ONT ALUCP compatibility factors, including [1] Safety Criteria (ONT ALUCP Table 2-2) and Safety Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-2), [2] Noise Criteria (ONT ALUCP Table 2-3) and Noise Impact Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-3), [3] Airspace protection Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-4), and [4] Overflight Notification Zones (ONT ALUCP Map 2-5). As a result, the City Council, 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 ONT ALUCP; and (2) On August 2, 2022, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted a Development Code Amendment to establish the Chino Airport ("CNO") Overlay Zoning District ("OZD") and Reference I, Chino Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan ("CNO ALUCP"). The CNO OZD and CNO ALUCP established the Airport Influence Area for Chino Airport, solely within the City of Ontario, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. The CNO ALUCP is consistent with policies and criteria set forth within the Caltrans 2011 California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook. The proposed Project is located within the Airport Influence Area of Chino Airport and was evaluated and found to be consistent with the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook and the CNO ALUCP. As the decisionmaking body for the Project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation against the CNO ALUCP compatibility factors, including Safety, Airspace Protection, Overflight. As a result, the City Council, 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 California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook and the Chino ALUCP.

SECTION 5. Concluding Facts and Reasons. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the above-referenced hearing, and upon the specific findings set forth in Section 1 through 4, above, the City Council hereby concludes as follows:
(1) The Development Agreement applies to approximately 80 acres of land bordered by Eucalyptus, Campus, Merrill, and Sultana Avenues, located within the Business Park and Industrial General land use districts of the Ontario Ranch Business Park Specific Plan Amendment (File No. PSPA21-002); and (2) The Development Agreement establishes parameters for the development of land within the Ontario Ranch Business Park Specific Plan.

(6) This Development Agreement will promote the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element of the Policy Plan; and
(7) This Development Agreement will not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and will not have a significant impact on the environment or the surrounding properties. The environmental impacts of this project were previously reviewed in conjunction with the Ontario Ranch Business Park Specific Plan Amendment (File No. PSPA21-002), for which a Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2019050018) was certified by City Council on October 18, 2022; and
(8) 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.

SUBJECT: A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (FILE NO. PDA22-005) BETWEEN THE

CITY OF ONTARIO AND RB ONTARIO LLC

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
June 20, 2023
SECTION:

PUBLIC HEARINGS
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council introduce and waive further reading of an Ordinance approving a Development Agreement (File No. PDA22-005) between the City of Ontario and RB Ontario LLC, to establish the terms and conditions associated with Tentative Tract Map 20536 (File No. PMTT22-021), a 23.2-acre property located approximately 875 feet south of the intersection of Riverside Drive and Archibald Avenue, within Planning Area 1 (Neighborhood 2) land use district of the Countryside 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 Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed Development Agreement (File No. PDA22-005) will not have a direct impact on the City's General Fund. The Development Agreement will provide funding from the formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) for City services and facilities required to support the Countryside Specific Plan development, thereby mitigating the increased costs associated with such services. In addition, the City will receive public service funding fees plus development impact, compliance processing, licensing, and permitting fees. No General Fund revenue will be used to support the Ontario Ranch development.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Ontario Ranch financial commitments required for construction of properties within a specific plan are substantial. Therefore, in order to adequately forecast these costs and gain assurance that the project may proceed under the existing policies, rules, and regulations, RB Ontario LLC (Applicant), has requested that the City enter into negotiations to create 372
a Development Agreement (Agreement).

The Agreement proposes to include 23.2 acres of land within the Planning Area 1 (Neighborhood 2) land use district of the Specific Plan, as shown on the attached Exhibit A. The Agreement grants the Applicant a vested right to develop Tentative Tract Map 20536 (the Map), provided the Applicant complies with the terms and conditions of the Specific Plan and related EIR.

The Map (see attached Exhibit B) is located 875 feet south of the intersection of Riverside Drive and Archibald Avenue and proposes to subdivide 23.2 acres of land for condominium purposes, into 141 numbered lots and 27 lettered lots, to facilitate the development of 265 dwelling units, park land, private recreation area, private drives, and private alleys.

The term of the Agreement is for 10 years, with a 5-year option to extend. The main points of the Agreement address funding for all new City expenses created by the project, which includes:

Development Impact Fees (DIF) for construction of public improvements (i.e. streets and bridges, sewer, water, storm drain and fiber); Public Service Funding to ensure adequate provisions of public services (police, fire and other public services); and the creation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) for the maintenance of public facilities.

It is important to note the Applicant is currently in negotiations with the current Owners to purchase the property. The Agreement shall be executed and recorded upon the acquisition of the property by the Applicant. In the event the Applicant is unable to acquire the property, the Agreement and Ordinance shall become null and void and of no further force and effect.

In considering the Agreement at their meeting on May 23, 2023, the Planning Commission found the Agreement to be consistent with State law, The Ontario Plan, and the City's Development Agreement policies. As a result, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC23-041 with a 4 to 0 vote, recommending City Council approval of the Agreement.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: An Addendum to the Countryside Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2004071001), which was certified by the City Council on April 18, 2006, was prepared to be consistent with The Ontario Plan 2050 and associated Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2021070364), which was certified by the City Council on August 16, 2022. 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.

On August 16, 2022, the City Council certified The Ontario Plan 2050 Update Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (“SEIR”) in conjunction with The Ontario Plan 2050 (“TOP 2050”) (File No. PGPA20-002) General Plan update. Within the TOP 2050 and SEIR, the Project site land use was designated and analyzed as Low Medium Density Residential (5.1 to 11.0 du/ac) and Medium Density Residential (11.1 to 25.0 du/ac). The previous land use designation was Low Density Residential (2.1 to 5.0 du/ac).

The Applicant has submitted applications for a Specific Plan Amendment (“SPA”) (File No. PSPA22-002) and Tentative Tract Map No. 20536 (File No. PMTT22-021) to facilitate the construction of 265 single-family and multiple-family dwellings on the Project site.

The Ontario Ranch financial commitments required for construction of properties within a specific plan are substantial. Therefore, in order to adequately forecast these costs and gain assurance that the project may proceed under the existing policies, rules, and regulations, RB Ontario LLC (“Applicant”), 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 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. Pursuant to these procedures and requirements, staff entered into negotiations with the Applicant to create a Development Agreement for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.

The proposed Agreement is based on the model Development Agreement that was developed in coordination with the City Attorney and legal counsel for NMC Builders. This model Development Agreement is consistent with the provisions of the Construction Agreement. The terms of the agreement between NMC Builders’ members requires that members of the LLC enter into Development Agreements that are consistent with the provisions of the Construction Agreement and are consistent with the commitments to assure adequate public infrastructure improvements are constructed by the Applicant. (2) Staff Analysis — The Agreement proposes to include 23.2 acres of land within the Planning Area 1 (Neighborhood 2) land use districts of the Specific Plan, as shown on the attached Exhibit A. The Agreement grants the Applicant a vested right to develop Tentative Tract Map 20536 (the “Map”), provided the Applicant complies with the terms and conditions of the Specific Plan and related EIR.

The Map (see attached Exhibit B) is located 875 feet south of the intersection of Riverside Drive and Archibald Avenue, and proposes to subdivide 23.2 acres of land for 377
