AUTHORIZE THE RENEWAL OF THE CITY'S GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH ESRI, INC.
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the renewal of the City's Geographic Information System (GIS) software Agreement with ESRI, Inc., of Redlands, CA, for annual licensing and maintenance support, for a total contract not-to-exceed of $643,632 for a three-year term.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 adopted budget includes appropriations from the Information Technology Fund for annual licensing and maintenance support for ESRI software. The proposed License Agreement has a total contract amount not-to-exceed $643,632, which includes fiscal year 2025-26 of $195,040, fiscal year 2026-27 of $195,040, fiscal year 2027-28 of $195,040, and a 10% contingency amount of $58,512 for additional user licenses, if needed. If approved, appropriations will be added to the future years’ budgets consistent with the annual adoption process.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
Over the past several decades, the City has developed extensive Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using ESRI’s ArcGIS software suite. This software documents and tracks changes to the City’s land data, and it is a foundation data source for many of the software applications used by City staff, including computer-aided dispatch (CAD), emergency operations, permitting and land management, utility billing, and collection, work order management system, the Property Information Management System (PIMS) and community improvement case management.
In 2013, the City subscribed to ESRI’s Small Government Enterprise Agreement (SGEA). The SGEA provides better and broader access to ESRI's suite of GIS tools, and subsequent renewals in 2016, 2019, and 2022 have allowed for continuity of the City’s test, development, and production GIS to support a growing number of systems that rely on geographic data.
Staff requests City Council approval for a three-year agreement with a not-to-exceed amount of $643,632.

CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Goods and Services Agreement with J6D, Inc. of Ontario, California, in the amount of $200,000 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $500,000, and extend the contract term to October 16, 2027.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended Amendment will add $200,000 to the current contract amount of $300,000, bringing the not-to-exceed contract amount to $500,000, and extending the term through October 16, 2027. A portion of the overall expense is offset by program revenue and participant registration fees, such as fee-based sports programs, and events such as the 5K Reindeer Run. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget includes appropriations from the General Fund for custom apparel services. If approved, appropriations for future years of the agreement will be included in the annual budget adoption process to be approved by City Council.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The Recreation and Community Services Department regularly orders uniforms and event supplies for youth and adult sports, programs, special events, and staff uniforms. This includes sports jerseys for adult basketball and volleyball leagues, tot and youth sports programs, shirts for the annual 5K Reindeer Run, Summer Concerts, and the Tot Olympics event. Goods are locally produced in Ontario. The Recreation and Community Services department typically purchases around 8,400 items per year, at an average cost of $11.90 per unit.
On January 17, 2023, the City Council approved a Goods and Services Agreement with J6D, Inc., for employee uniforms and event supplies. The selected supplier possesses the knowledge of the Recreation and Community Services Department's specific needs and can meet the timelines 46 needed for the Department's operations.
Based on the efficient turnaround times and the ability to produce specialized items from J6D, Inc., Staff is recommending the approval of Amendment No. 1 with J6D, Inc. for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $500,000.

OPTING INTO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH PURDUE PHARMA, L.P. AND THE
SACKLER FAMILY
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September
2, 2025
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to opt into a Settlement Agreement with opioid distributors, Purdue Pharma, L.P. and the Sackler Family, and authorize the City Manager to execute any documents necessary to implement the action.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City of Ontario is expected to receive approximately $450,000 in additional funding if it opts into the Settlement Agreement as recommended. The funds will be paid over a period of 15 years. If approved, the funds will be deposited into the Opioid Settlement fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
Many states and cities across the United States have sued the three largest opioid painkiller distributors (Amerisource Bergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson) and the opioid painkiller manufacturer, Janssen (owned by Johnson & Johnson). These lawsuits resulted in two settlements totaling approximately $26 billion. Additional parties joined these settlements in late 2022. In June 2024, an additional settlement was reached with another opioid distributor, Kroger Co., for $1.2 billion. The City of Ontario has opted into every round of opioid settlements and began receiving payments in November 2022.
In 2025, Purdue Pharma, L.P. and the Sackler Family (“Purdue”) reached a tentative $7.4 billion settlement for opioid distribution claims, payable over 15 years. California is scheduled to receive roughly $440 million. The State will distribute 15% of the funds to the State Fund, 70% to the California Abatement Accounts Fund, and 15% to the California Subdivision Fund.
Local subdivisions, such as the City of Ontario, will receive their share from the California Abatement Accounts Fund. Ontario will receive approximately $450,000 distributed over 15 years, starting in late 2025. Cities can use the funds directly, following State requirements, or allow the County to use the funds. Cities can also opt out and pursue independent legal action. 51 Funds received from this settlement must be used for future opioid remediation or abatement efforts. Currently, the City is using other opioid settlement funds to help support the Community Outreach and Support Team (C.O.A.S.T.) with providing education and support to prevent overdoses. Any funds that remain unused or uncommitted within five years of receipt must be returned to the State. The City must complete an annual report that details fund usage until fully expended, plus one additional year. The California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) has the authority to review these reports for compliance.
Staff recommends that the City Council opt into the settlement and elect to receive payments directly by releasing its claims against Purdue Pharma, L.P. and the Sackler Family. 52 53

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a one-year Maintenance Services Agreement with T.E. Roberts Inc., of Irvine, California, for on-call water distribution and sewage collection system repairs in the amount of $1,200,000 from September 2, 2025 to June 30, 2026, with the option to extend the agreement for up to four successive one-year periods for a total not-to-exceed $6,630,750.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget includes appropriations from the Water and Sewer Operating Funds for these services. The recommended Agreement is for $1,200,000 for the initial term. At the City’s discretion, up to four additional one-year extensions may be executed.
Should the City exercise all four successive one-year extensions, the projected amount for the five years (September 2, 2025 to June 30, 2030) would be a total not-to-exceed amount of $6,630,750.
The City and Contractor have agreed to fixed billing rates, and the Contractor will be compensated for on-call, as-needed services at the billing rates set forth in the proposed Agreement. Prices for the first year are fixed, and after the first year, any proposed increases in fees will be negotiated annually and will not exceed 5% per year. The total compensation paid under the proposed Agreement will be commensurate with the City Council approved plans and budgets. There is no impact to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City’s water distribution and sewer collection systems have over 1,000 miles of pipelines that are primarily maintained by City Staff. At times, the amount of work 90 required to maintain these systems exceeds Staff’s availability. This annual Agreement will assist Staff with planned maintenance and emergency repairs on an as-needed basis. The additional resources will enable the City to complete scheduled maintenance, as well as provide assistance during emergency repairs due to sudden and unexpected system failures.
On July 16, 2025, six bids were received for Bid No. 1930 for on-call water distribution and sewage collection system repairs. The bids ranged from a low bid amount of $2,880,785 to a high bid amount of $10,918,385.

The recommendation to award the proposed Agreement is based on historical budgets previously allocated for this type of work. Staff recommends awarding the Agreement to T.E. Roberts Inc., based on their status as the lowest responsive bidder, demonstrated performance on similar projects, ability to complete the work in a timely manner, and proven expertise in water distribution and sewer system repairs.

3.3.16 Warranty. Contractor warrants all Services under the Contract (which for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed and any non-conforming materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in the Contract or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the Services or non-conformance of the Services to the Contract, commence and prosecute with due diligence all Services necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense.

All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Contract, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor's sole expense.

If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws.

Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Contractor caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH FUEL SERV, INC. FOR FUEL SITE EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND ON-CALL SERVICES
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Fuel Serv, Inc., of Montclair, California, for fuel site equipment maintenance and on-call services in the amount of $600,000, for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $750,000, and exercising the remaining four option years extending the term to September 30, 2029.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended Amendment No. 1 with Fuel Serv, Inc., increases the contract amount by $150,000 annually for Fiscal Years 2025 through 2029 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $750,000 over the five-year term. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Equipment Services Fund for fuel site equipment maintenance and on-call services.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On December 17, 2024, the City entered into a one-year agreement with the option to extend for four additional one-year terms with Fuel Serv, Inc., resulting from the award of Bid No. 1833, for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $150,000. The recommended Amendment No. 1 increases the annual contract amount by $150,000 for Fiscal Years 2025-2029 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $750,000 over the five-year term.
The City owns, operates, and maintains two fleet service repair sites and twelve fuel sites. As the City continues to grow, demand on our garage and fueling equipment has increased, requiring more maintenance to ensure safety, reliability, and uninterrupted support for critical services and infrastructure. The Municipal Services Department depends on vendors to provide maintenance and on-call services for garage and fuel site equipment. Staff recommends approving Amendment No. 1 to ensure continued service and operations.

AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF SPECIALIZED LAW ENFORCEMENT SAFETY
EQUIPMENT WITH AARDVARK
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the one-time purchase of specialized law enforcement safety equipment through Aardvark, with its principal place of business in La Verne, California, for an amount not to exceed $187,684.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget includes appropriations of $187,684 in the Department of Justice (DOJ) Asset Seizure Fund for the purchase of specialized law enforcement safety equipment.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The Ontario Police Department Special Tactic Teams are elite teams composed of a selective group of sworn officers who receive ongoing specialized training to manage unique and challenging law enforcement situations. The core mission of the team is to reduce risk and safeguard life and property during special operations. These Special Tactic Teams are occasionally assigned to execute search and arrest warrants that may involve a heightened level of risk to both officers and the community. The body armor that is currently in use is approaching expiration, creating a timely need for replacements. Authorizing the purchase of new specialized law enforcement safety equipment from Aardvark will ensure the team remains properly equipped and protected while performing their duties.
On April 4, 2023, the City of Ontario approved Aardvark as an essential services vendor. This one- time purchase will provide Police Department personnel with the equipment and supplies necessary to execute their duties safely and efficiently. Based on Aardvark's proven record of delivering exceptional equipment and reliable service that supports the City's high public safety standards, Staff recommends proceeding with the purchase of new body armor. 188

GROUP, LLC FOR LEADERSHIP COACHING AND EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT
SERVICES
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 4 to the Professional Services Agreement with Juniper Group, LLC, of Annapolis, Maryland, for leadership coaching and employee development services in the amount of $175,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $325,000.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Amendment No. 4 increases the Agreement amount by $175,000 for a revised total not-to-exceed amount of $325,000. Each City Agency will assume fiscal responsibility to ensure that departmental expenditures related to leadership coaching and employee development services remain within the Agency’s annual budgets. The Fiscal Year 2025- 26 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the General Fund for these services. If approved, additional appropriations will be included in future years in accordance with the annual budget adoption process.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On September 22, 2022, the City of Ontario entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Juniper Group, LLC (Juniper Group) to provide leadership coaching and employee development workshops for City Staff. The services were initially limited in scope to address a specific need and were brought forward based on a referral from regional public sector Human Resources professionals. Since that time, Juniper Group has delivered highly effective coaching, leadership development, employee development, and training workshops tailored to the City’s organizational needs. As a result, the scope of services has expanded to include broader initiatives across City Departments.
Juniper Group has established a strong rapport with City Staff and demonstrated the ability to consistently deliver high-quality results. City Staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 4 to continue existing projects and maintain service continuity under the sole 195
source provision. A transition to a new provider at this stage would disrupt momentum, reduce efficiency, and compromise the City’s investment in ongoing leadership and organizational development initiatives. The proposed increase in total compensation by $175,000 will result in a new not-to-exceed amount of $325,000 for the five-year term ending on May 31, 2027.
Although the City has not issued a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) during the current five-year term, City Staff understand the importance of competitive procurement and are committed to issuing an RFP at the end of the current agreement if the City requires ongoing coaching and training services beyond the term of the Agreement.

DEVELOPMENT ON 0.37-ACRE OF LAND LOCATED AT 111 NORTH MONTEREY AVENUE
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September

SECTION:
PUBLIC HEARINGS
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council introduce and waive further reading of an Ordinance approving File No. PUD23-001, the Monterey Avenue Planned Unit Development, establishing development standards, design guidelines, and infrastructure requirements to facilitate a commercial development at 111 North Monterey Avenue.
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:
There is not a direct fiscal impact associated with this action. The proposed Monterey Avenue Planned Unit Development (PUD) establishes development standards and guidelines to facilitate the development of a commercial building. Implementation of the PUD would result in an increase in property and sales taxes from future development and the one-time payment to the City of plan check fees and development impact fees.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On June 29, 2023, Ernest Wang filed a PUD application (File No.
PUD23-001), concurrently with a Development Plan (File No. PDEV23-018) applications to facilitate construction of a two-story commercial building.
The Project site is comprised of 0.37-acres of land located at the northwest corner of North Monterey Avenue and East Holt Boulevard, at 111 North Monterey Avenue, within LUA-3 (Holt Boulevard) of the MU-1 (Downtown Mixed Use) zoning district.
The site is surrounded by a well-
established single-family residential neighborhood to the north, a gas station to the east, a historic multiple-family development to the west and a commercial center to the south.
The Policy Plan specifies that the Downtown Mixed-Use Area is to be implemented through the approval of an Area Plan or Planned Unit Development prior to the development of properties. In compliance with this requirement, the Applicant has submitted the Monterey Avenue Planned Unit 203
Development (included as Attachment A to the Ordinance), which is consistent with this vision, goals, and policies of the Policy Plan.
A Planned Unit Development is comparable to a Specific Plan in that it establishes development regulations that are unique to a specific area. However, it is unlike a Specific Plan in that a Planned Unit Development is typically intended to apply to a single development project or several interrelated development projects that function together as a single, comprehensive project.
Key components of the Monterey Avenue Planned Unit Development include the following:
Land Use and Development Regulations
—
The MU-1 (Downtown Mixed Use) zoning district
allows for a mixture of vertical and horizontal retail, entertainment, and office uses at a development intensity of up to 2.0 FAR, and residential uses at a density of 25 to 75 DU/AC.
Consistent with the MU-1 zoning district and in keeping with the context of the surrounding development, the Monterey Avenue PUD allows for commercial development with an FAR up to 2.0, with a maximum building height of 35 feet or two-stories. The minimum building setback proposed along Holt Boulevard and Monterey Avenue is 10 feet for buildings, off- street parking stalls, mechanical equipment and ancillary structures. Interior and alley property line setbacks are 5 feet.
Landscaping
—
A minimum of 18% of landscaping is required. The PUD provides a planting palette comprised of “California friendly” planting materials that are compatible with the overall architectural style established by the PUD. The PUD also requires the landscaping and irrigation to comply with AB 1881, and all other laws and regulations related to planting materials.
Parking and Circulation
— Th
e PUD utilizes a combination of on-site and on-street parking to provide an adequate parking supply to meet the anticipated parking demand for the Project.
The parking ratio for the anticipated uses is 4 spaces per 1,000 SF. The Project site is located within a mixed-use area where on-street parking is available along Monterey Avenue and on surrounding blocks.
Access to Mass Transit
—
The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), in cooperation with the cities of Pomona, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and Fontana, is currently constructing a 35-mile-long bus rapid transit (BRT) system referred to as the West Valley Connector Corridor (WVCC) project. The WVCC line will have stations along Holt Boulevard on Lemon Avenue and Campus Avenue.
Architectural Character
— The PUD architectural style and design is a modern commercial style. Architectural treatments will be continued on all sides of the buildings. All towers or raised elements will be fully finished on all sides to appear as 3 dimensional features. The architecture for the building will feature enhanced materials such as natural stone, or tile to be used as a base treatment and to highlight architectural features such as columns, arches or popped out tower elements. All enhanced materials shall terminate at logical points, such as an interior corner, and shall incorporate cap treatments to provide a transition between materials.
On July 22, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the project and concluded the hearing on that date. After considering all public testimony on the application, the 204
Planning Commission voted (6-0) to approve a Resolution recommending that the City Council approve the PUD and approved a Resolution for a Development Plan (File No. PDEV23-018) to construct a two-story commercial building.
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.
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 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that the activity is covered by the “common sense exemption” (also known as the “general rule exemption”) that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

Decorative metal canopies; and
Arched top windows with curved header trim.
(e) Landscaping — Perimeter landscaping is provided in the front, side, and rear setback areas. The conceptual landscape plan has been designed to utilize California native trees and drought tolerant planting materials. Planters provide additional landscaping throughout the Project site. The parkway along the Project frontage will be landscaped with new street trees (Date Palms along Monterey Avenue and Ash Trees along Holt Boulevard) and groundcovers. The existing street tree (Canary Island Palm) along Monterey Avenue will remain in place.
(f) Signage — All Project signage is required to comply with sign regulations provided in Ontario Development Code Division 8.1. Prior to the issuance of a Building Permit for the installation of any new on-site signage, the Applicant is required to submit Sign Plans for Planning Department review and approval. Pursuant to the Monterey Planned Unit Development, a sign program will be required for this Project which will regulate the amount and location of signage for the site. More specifically, the Sign Program will:
• Provide coordinated signing within a development project; • Utilize common design elements; and
• Include sign designs with the context of the building and landscape design, to form a unified architectural statement.
Staff will work with the Applicant to create a Sign Program that will contribute to the overall design quality of the site and surrounding area. A separate application will be required to be approved prior to any signage installation.
(g) Utilities (drainage, sewer) — Public utilities (water and sewer) are available to serve the Project. Furthermore, the Applicant has submitted a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (PWQMP), which establishes the Project 's compliance with storm water discharge/water quality requirements. The PWQMP includes site design measures that capture runoff and pollutant transport by minimizing impervious surfaces and maximizes low impact development (LID) best management practices (BMPs), such as retention and infiltration, biotreatment, and evapotranspiration. The PWQMP proposes the use of an infiltration cha mber at the southwest corner of the site . Any overflow drainage will be conveyed to the public street by way of parkway drains and culverts.

July 22, 2025
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
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 authority for the Project, the Planning Commission 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 Planning Commission, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Ontario Local CEQA Guidelines; and
(2) The Project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that the activity is covered by the “common sense exemption” (also known as the “general rule exemption”) that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA; and
(3) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the Planning Commission.
SECTION 2: 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 2050, 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 3: 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.
229
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PUD23-001
July 22, 2025
(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. A s 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.
SECTION 4: 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 the Sections above, the Planning Commission hereby concludes as follows:
(1) The proposed PUD, or amendment thereto, is consistent with the goals, policies, plans and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan 2050 . The Project is consistent with the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan. Section 1.1, The Ontario Plan Objectives of the Planned Unit Development, describes the manner in which the Planned Unit Development complies with the Policy Plan goals and policies.
(2) The proposed PUD, or amendment thereto, would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City .
The Planning Commission has required certain safeguards, and has required certain changes, which have been established to ensure that: [i] the purposes of the Planned Unit Development are maintained; [ii] the project will not endanger the public health, safety or general welfare; [iii] the project will not result in any significant environmental impacts; [iv] the project will be in harmony with the area in which it is located; and [v] the project will be in full conformity with the Vision, City Council Prio rities and Policy Plan components of The Ontario Plan.
(3) In the case of an application affecting specific property(ies ), the proposed PUD, or amendment thereto, will not adversely affect the harmonious relationship with adjacent properties and land uses. The Planned Unit Development area is situated in Ontario’s downtown and is adjacent to residential and commercial land 230
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PUD23-001
July 22, 2025
uses and development. The surrounding development supports the objective of the Planned Unit Development to further commercial and residential mixed-use development.
The Project will not affect the harmonious relationship with adjacent properties and land use.
(4) In the case of an application affecting specific property(ies), the subject site is physically suitable, including, but not limited to, parcel size, shape, access, and availability of utilities, for the request and anticipated development. In preparing the proposed Planned Unit Development, a thorough review and analysis of the proposed Project and the subject site’s physical suitability for the Project was completed, including analysis of the project size, shape, intensity of development, building height, building setbacks, site access, site landscaping and drainage, fences and walls, vehicle circulation, pedestrian connections, availability of mass transit, necessary street dedication and easements, public right -of-way improvements, availability of utiliti es and other infrastructure needs, off -street parking and circulation, building orientation and streetscapes, architectural character, building materials and color, and site signage.
Based upon this review and analysis, the subject site has been deemed phy sically suitable, including but not limited to parcel size, shape, access, and availability of utilities, for the proposed Planned Unit Development and the proposed development.
(5) The proposed PUD is superior to that which could be obtained through the application of the Development Code or a specific plan. The Planned Unit Development will establish minimum building setbacks, parking requirements, allow on- street parking, and establish a planting palette. These standards in the Planned Unit Development will facilitate the development of a 5,795 square foot 2- story commercial building, related parking facilities and trash enclosure. The proposed Planned Unit Development will allow fo r subsequent development that is superior to that which could be obtained through the application of the Development Code by itself.
SECTION 5: Planning Commission Action. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in the Sections above, the Planning Commission hereby RECOMMENDS THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVES the herein described Application, subject to each and every condition set forth in the Department reports attached hereto as "Attachment A," and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 6: Indemnification. The Applicant shall agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the City of Ontario or its agents, officers, and employees from any claim, action or proceeding against the City of Ontario or its agents, officers or employees to attack, set aside, void, or annul this approval. The City of Ontario shall promptly notify the applicant of any such claim, action, or proceeding, and the City of Ontario shall cooperate fully in the defense.

Monterey Avenue PUD – Version DRAFT
29 6. DESIGN GUIDELINES
6.1 BUILDING ORIENTATION AND STREETSCAPES
The Commercial buildings shall give the appearance of being oriented towards Holt Boulevard and Mon terey Avenue with entry elements, interesting architecture, enhanced materials, and pedestrian scale to provide connection between the development and the street. The building entries may be located on the street frontage of building with connection to path of travel extended to Holt B oulevard and Monterey Avenue so long as strong pedestrian connection is maintained through wide walkways, enhanced pavers, plazas, appropriately scaled lighting and/or other similar features. Rear entrances in parking lot, should be secondary in nature. The street sides of the buildings should be architecturally enhanced along Holt Boulevard and Monterey Avenues to provide a quality appearance from the street.
6.2 ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER
Due to the size and scale of the PUD project area, virtually most sides of the buildings will be visible from the public street, common access drives, common parking areas or adjacent parcels with commercial uses. As such the architectural treatments should be carried around to the visible portions of all sides of the buildings. All towers or raised e lements should be fully finished on all sides to appear as 3 dimensional features.
The architecture for the buildings should feature enhanced materials such as natural stone, or tile should be used as a base treatment and to highlight architectural features such as columns , arches or popped-out tower elements. All enhanced materials shall terminate at logical points, such as an interior corner, and shall incorporate cap treatments to provide a transition between materials.
6.3 MATERIALS AND COLOR
Durable high-quality materials shall be used at pedestrian level. Foam features, trim, or similar materials are not allowed at pedestrian level due to the lack of durability and failure to maintain a quality appearance over time.
The color scheme for developments within the PUD should be taken from an earth-tone palette in order to blend and coordinate the various architectural features of the buildings to provide a cohesive appearance.
6.4 SIGNS
Signs shall comply with the requirements of the City of Ontario Development Code and shall be coordinated through a comprehensive sign program.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Monterey Avenue PUD – Version DRAFT
31 7. HISTORIC PRESERVATION
7.1 HISTORIC BACKGROUND
The one block area that comprises the PUD established by this document is not located within the City’s Historic Downtown District. However, the property was part of the potential Parkside Addition Historic District. During the late 1990s, the potential historic district was evaluated using a windshield survey, establishing the boundary that exists today. The district is comprised of primarily single and multi -family d wellings constructed during the 1920s -1940s, and the commercial buildings along Holt Boulevard. Some areas retain the original rock curb, but most of the curbs have been replaced with standard concrete curb. Many of the buildings in the potential district have been substantially altered and consequently, were removed by the HPSC from the Ontario Register of Historic Resources in November 2008. The potential district has not been reevaluated since that time.
On July 9, 2020, under Ontario Register Eligibility Review For File No. PHP20-009, The Historic Preservation Subcommittee approved the case, determining that the house and property did not meet landmark eligibility requirement as contained in Section 4.02.040 of the Ontario Development Code. This property will be removed from the Ontario Register of Historic Resources.
The east Holt Boulevard section of the potential historic district was originally developed with residences in the early 1900s when Holt Boulevard (A Street) was a 2 -lane dirt road also known as the Ocean to Ocean Highway. Commercial uses were introduced in the 1920s when A Street because a 4-lane higway. The 1950s saw of A Street to Holt Boulevard, and a shift further away from residential to more automotive related and commercial uses. The remaining buildings on the subject site are not thematically related and commercial use s. The remaining buildings o n the subject site are not thematically related to the residential to the north and do not contribute to the potential Parkside Addition Historic District.
7.2 EXISTING HISTORIC STRUCTURES
The project site has existing residence & garages and does not contain any historic resources.
However, there are four historic properties located adjacent to west, southeast and southwest of the project area. These properties are follows:
• 541 E. Holt Blvd. (Lerch House, Tier II);
• 545 E. Holt Blvd. (Bungalow Court. Tier III); and
The development of the project area will not directly impact the surrounding historic resources.
Subsequently, the purpose the PUD is to guide development within this area and ensure that the proposed development of the project site is sensitive to the location and the historic surroundings.
Therefore, any new infill development shall comply with the following development standards:
• All structures shall be compatible with the scale and massing of the surrounding historic structures.
252
HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Monterey Avenue PUD – Version DRAFT
32 • All structures (if feasible) should be oriented to directly front onto Holt Blvd., with parking lots oriented away from the street or behind the structures. • Lighting should be consistent with the lighting designs of the Downtown Ontario Design Guidelines.

WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
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 administrative record has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Ontario Local CEQA Guidelines; and
257
(2) The Project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that the activity is covered by the “common sense exemption” (also known as the “general rule exemption”) that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a sig nificant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA; and
(3) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the City Council.
SECTION 2: 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 Air port 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, safe ty, 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 document ation 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
SECTION 3: 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 and 2, above, the City Council hereby concludes as follows:
(1) The proposed Planned Unit Development is consistent with the goals, policies, plans and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario P lan. The 258
Project is consistent with Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan. Section 1.1, The Ontario Plan Objectives of the Planned Unit Development, describes the manner in which the Planned Unit Dev elopment complies with the Policy Plan goals and policies.
(2) The proposed Planned Unit Development, would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City. The City Council has required certain safeguards, and has required certain changes, which have been established to ensure that: [i] the purposes of the Planned Unit Development are m aintained; [ii] the project will not endanger the public health, safety or general welfare; [iii] the project will not result in any significant environmental impacts; [iv] the project will be in harmony with the area in which it is located; and [v] the project will be in full conformity with the Vision, City Council Priorities and Policy Plan components of The Ontario Plan.
(3) In the case of an application affecting specific property(ies), the proposed Planned Unit Development, will not adversely affect the harmonious relationship with adjacent properties and land uses. The Planned Unit Development area is situated in Ontario’s downtown and is adjacent to residential and commercial land uses and development. The surrounding development supports the objective of the Planned Unit Development to further commercial and residential mixed -use development. The Project will not affect the harmonious relationship with adjacent properties and land use.
(4) In the case of an application affecting specific property(ies), the subject site is physically suitable, including, but not limited to, parcel size, shape, access, and availability of utilities, for the request and anticipated development. In preparing the proposed Planned Unit Development, a thorough review and analysis of the proposed Project and the subject site’s physical suitability for the Project was completed, including analysis of the project size, shape, intensity of development, building height, building setbacks, site access, site landscaping and drainage, fenc es and walls, vehicle circulation, pedestrian connections, availability of mass transit, necessary street dedication and easements, public right -of-way improvements, availability of utilities and other infrastructure needs, off - street parking and circulati on, building orientation and streetscapes, architectural character, building materials and color, and site signage.
Based upon this review and analysis, the subject site has been deemed physically suitable, including but not limited to parcel size, shape, access, and availability of utilities, for the proposed Planned Unit Development and the proposed development.
(5) The proposed Planned Unit Development is superior to that which could be obtained through the application of the Development Code or a specific plan. The Planned Unit Development will establish minimum 259
building setbacks, parking and open space requirements, allow on -street parking, and establish a planting palette. These standards in the Planned Unit Development will facilitate the development of a 2-story multi-tenant commercial building, related parking facilities and landscaped areas. The proposed Planned Unit Development will allow for subsequent development that is superior to that which could be obtained through the application of the Development Code by itself.
SECTION 4: City Council Action. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Sections 1 through 3, above, the City Council hereby APPROVES the herein described Planned Unit Development , attached hereto as "Attachment A, " and incorporated herein by this reference.

6.1 BUILDING ORIENTATION AND STREETSCAPES
The Commercial buildings shall give the appearance of being oriented towards Holt Boulevard and Mon terey Avenue with entry elements, interesting architecture, enhanced materials, and pedestrian scale to provide connection between the development and the street. The building entries may be located on the street frontage of building with connection to path of travel extended to Holt B oulevard and Monterey Avenue so long as strong pedestrian connection is maintained through wide walkways, enhanced pavers, plazas, appropriately scaled lighting and/or other similar features. Rear entrances in parking lot, should be secondary in nature. The street sides of the buildings should be architecturally enhanced along Holt Boulevard and Monterey Avenues to provide a quality appearance from the street.
6.2 ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER
Due to the size and scale of the PUD project area, virtually most sides of the buildings will be visible from the public street, common access drives, common parking areas or adjacent parcels with commercial uses. As such the architectural treatments should be carried around to the visible portions of all sides of the buildings. All towers or raised e lements should be fully finished on all sides to appear as 3 dimensional features.
The architecture for the buildings should feature enhanced materials such as natural stone, or tile should be used as a base treatment and to highlight architectural features such as columns , arches or popped-out tower elements.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Monterey Avenue PUD – Version DRAFT
31 7. HISTORIC PRESERVATION
7.1 HISTORIC BACKGROUND
The one block area that comprises the PUD established by this document is not located within the City’s Historic Downtown District. However, the property was part of the potential Parkside Addition Historic District. During the late 1990s, the potential historic district was evaluated using a windshield survey, establishing the boundary that exists today. The district is comprised of primarily single and multi -family d wellings constructed during the 1920s -1940s, and the commercial buildings along Holt Boulevard. Some areas retain the original rock curb, but most of the curbs have been replaced with standard concrete curb. Many of the buildings in the potential district have been substantially altered and consequently, were removed by the HPSC from the Ontario Register of Historic Resources in November 2008. The potential district has not been reevaluated since that time.
On July 9, 2020, under Ontario Register Eligibility Review For File No. PHP20-009, The Historic Preservation Subcommittee approved the case, determining that the house and property did not meet landmark eligibility requirement as contained in Section 4.02.040 of the Ontario Development Code. This property will be removed from the Ontario Register of Historic Resources.
The east Holt Boulevard section of the potential historic district was originally developed with residences in the early 1900s when Holt Boulevard (A Street) was a 2 -lane dirt road also known as the Ocean to Ocean Highway. Commercial uses were introduced in the 1920s when A Street because a 4-lane higway. The 1950s saw of A Street to Holt Boulevard, and a shift further away from residential to more automotive related and commercial uses. The remaining buildings on the subject site are not thematically related and commercial use s. The remaining buildings o n the subject site are not thematically related to the residential to the north and do not contribute to the potential Parkside Addition Historic District.
7.2 EXISTING HISTORIC STRUCTURES
The project site has existing residence & garages and does not contain any historic resources.
However, there are four historic properties located adjacent to west, southeast and southwest of the project area. These properties are follows:
• 541 E. Holt Blvd. (Lerch House, Tier II);
• 545 E. Holt Blvd. (Bungalow Court. Tier III); and
The development of the project area will not directly impact the surrounding historic resources.
Subsequently, the purpose the PUD is to guide development within this area and ensure that the proposed development of the project site is sensitive to the location and the historic surroundings.
Therefore, any new infill development shall comply with the following development standards:
• All structures shall be compatible with the scale and massing of the surrounding historic structures.
281
HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Monterey Avenue PUD – Version DRAFT
32 • All structures (if feasible) should be oriented to directly front onto Holt Blvd., with parking lots oriented away from the street or behind the structures. • Lighting should be consistent with the lighting designs of the Downtown Ontario Design Guidelines.

The property located at southwest corner of Park Vista Drive and Archibald Avenue consists of approximately 7.2 acres and is intended for the initial portion of Phase II of the Grand Park.
As part of the acquisition, the Seller has agreed to take lease payments from the Ontario Public Financing Authority (“Authority”) which will be secured by lease payments to be made by the City to the Authority under a lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”).
This lease-leaseback financing method is how cities finance capital improvements and land acquisitions. In order to accomplish the acquisition of property, the documents do the following:
O
n the date of the closing, the City will take fee title to the property. The City will concurrently lease the property to
the Authority under the Site Lease (“Site Lease”) as lessee.
Additionally, the Authority will concurrently lease the property under the Lease Agreement (“Lease Agreement”), by which the City will make lease payments sufficient to pay the annual lease payment.
The Authority will then assign its right to receive the lease payments to the Seller under an Assignment Agreement (“Assignment Agreement”).

(g) Any court of competent jurisdic tion shall find or rule that the Site and Facility Lease or this Lease Agreement is not valid or binding against the City. (h) Any Material Adverse Effect shall exist.
Section 8.02. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default has happened and is continuing the Default Interest Rate shall apply and the Authority may exercise any and all remedies available under law or granted under this Lease Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no right under any circum stances to accelerate the Lease Payments or otherwise declare any Lease Payments not then in default to be immediately due and payable. Each and every covenant hereof to be kept and performed by the City is expressly made a condition and upon the breach thereof the Authority may exercise any and all rights granted hereunder; provided, that no termination of this Lease Agreement shall be effected either by operation of law or acts of the parties hereto, except only in the manner herein expressly provided. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Authority may exercise any one or more of the following remedies:
(a) Enforcement of Payments Without Termination. If the Authority does not elect to terminate this Lease Agreement in the manner hereinafter provided for in subparagraph (b) hereof, the City agrees to and shall remain liable for the payment of all Lease Payments and the performance of all conditions herein contained and shall reimburse the Authority for any deficiency ar ising out of the re -leasing of the Property, or, if the Authority is unable to re-lease the Property, then for the full amount of all Lease Payments to the end of the Term of this Lease Agreement, but said Lease Payments and/or deficiency shall be payable only at the same time and in the same manner as hereinabove provided for the payment of Lease Payments hereunder, notwithstanding such entry or re -entry by the Authority or any suit in unlawful detainer, or otherwise, bro ught by the Authority for the purpose of effecting such re -entry or obtaining possession of the Property or the exercise of any other remedy by the Authority. The City hereby irrevocably appoints the Authority as the agent and attorney -in-fact of the City to enter upon and re -lease the Property upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and to remove all personal property whatsoever situated upon the Property, to place such property in storage or other suitable place in San Bernardino County for the account of and at the expense of the City, and the City hereby exempts and agrees to save harmless the Authority from any costs, loss or 328
46700.12000\43164301.2
29 damage whatsoever arising or occasioned by any such entry upon and re -leasing of the Property and the remova l and storage of such property by the Authority or their duly authorized agents in accordance with the provisions herein contained. The City agrees that the terms of this Lease Agreement constitute full and sufficient notice of the right of the Authority to re-lease the Property in the event of such re-entry without effecting a surrender of this Lease Agreement, and further agrees that no acts of the Authority in effecting such re-leasing shall constitute a surrender or termination of this Lease Agreement irrespective of the term for which such re-leasing is made or the terms and conditions of such re-leasing, or otherwise, but that, on the contrary, in the event of such default by the City the right to terminate this Lease Agreement shall vest in the Authority to be effected in the sole and exclusive manner hereinafter provided for in subparagraph (b) hereof. The City agrees to surrender and quit possession of the Property upon demand of the Authority for the purpose of enabling the Property to be re -let under this paragraph. Any rental obtained by the Authority in excess of the sum of Lease Payments plus costs and expenses incurred by the Authority for its services in re-leasing the Property shall be paid to the City. (b) Termination of Lease . If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing hereunder, the Authority at its option may terminate this Lease Agreement and re-lease all or any portion of the Property, subject to the Site and Facility Lease. If the Authority terminates this Lease Agreement at its op tion and in the manner hereinafter provided due to a default by the City (and notwithstanding any re -entry upon the Property by the Authority in any manner whatsoever or the re -leasing of the Property), the City nevertheless agrees to pay to the Authority all costs, loss or damages howsoever arising or occurring payable at the same time and in the same manner as is herein provided in the case of payment of Lease Payments. Any surplus received by the Authority from such re- leasing shall be applied by the Authority to Lease Payments , due under this Lease Agreement. Neither notice to pay rent or to deliver up possession of the premises given under law nor any proceeding in unlawful detainer taken by the Authority shall of itself operate to terminate this Lease Agreement, and no termination of this Lease Agreement on account of default by the City shall be or become effective by operation of law, or otherwise, unless and until the Authority shall have given written notice to the City of the election on the part of the Authority to terminate this Lease Agreement. The City covenants and agrees that no surrender of the Property, or of the remainder of the Term hereof or any termination of this Lease Agreement shall be valid in any manner or for any purpose whatsoever unless stated or accepted by the Authority by such written notice. (c) Proceedings at Law or In Equity . If an Event of Default occurs and continues hereunder, the Authority may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to collect the amounts then due and thereafter to become due hereunder or to enforce any other of its rights hereunder. (d) Remedies under the Site and Facility Lease. If an Event of Default occurs and continues hereunder, the Authority may exercise its rights under the Site and Facility Lease.
