SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 5-2004 AND RESOLUTION NO. 185-2004 TO UPDATE THE DATE ON WHICH THE

CITY COUNCIL SHALL ANNUALLY SELECT A MAYOR AND VICE
MAYOR

RECOMMENDATION

Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Adoption of the Resolution would amend Resolution No. 5-2004 and Resolution No. 185-2004 to update the date on which the City Council shall annually select a Mayor and Vice Mayor.

BACKGROUND

On July 1, 2003, the City of Rancho Cordova adopted Resolution No. 01-2003 approving the selection of one of its members to serve as Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore at the first regular Council meeting after January 1 of each year. On January 5, 2004, Resolution No. 5-2004 updated the selection of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore to the first regular meeting in December each year. In December of 2004 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 185-2004, revising the title of Mayor Pro Tempore to Vice Mayor; however, the resolution did not specify the timing of the selection of the mayor and vice mayor.

Staff recommends amending the timing of the annual selection of the Mayor and Vice Mayor to provide greater flexibility in scheduling and to align with the certification of election results.

Specifically, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution amending Resolution Nos. 5-2004 and 185-2004 to clarify the timing of this annual selection. In non-election years, the City Council shall select one of its members as Mayor and one as Vice Mayor between November 14 and December 31. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 36801, in election years, the City Council shall meet at the meeting at which the declaration of the election results for a general municipal election is made pursuant to Sections 10262 and 10263 of the Elections Code and, following the declaration of the elections results and the installation of elected officials, choose one of its members as Mayor, and one of its members as Vice Mayor.

DATE: November 17, 2025

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Michelle Mingay, Finance Manager

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ANNEXATION OF LAND INTO IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1 OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA
THE PRESERVE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2025-1

RECOMMENDATION

Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Adoption of the Resolution would approve Annexation Map No. 1 for land into The Preserve Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (hereinafter “CFD No. 2025-1”), and direct the City Clerk to execute and record the Boundary Map and Notice of Special Tax Lien for the project.

BACKGROUND

On February 3, 2025, the city adopted a Resolution of Intention to establish The Preserve Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (the "CFD"). On March 17, 2025, pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (State of California Government Code Section 5311 et seq.) (the “Act”), the city adopted Resolution 26-2025 forming CFD No. 2025-1 and also designated Improvement Area No. 1, and established a Future Annexation Area (the "Future Annexation Area") for the CFD.

The action defining the Future Annexation Area for the District provided for a more efficient process for the annexation of property when the property owners have provided for their unanimous consent. Defining the Future Annexation Area provided the resolution of intention, noticing, and public hearing for the entire Future Annexation Area so these steps do not need to be repeated for each annexation. The annexation process for projects within the Future Annexation Area has been simplified to receiving a petition and waiver from the property owner(s), the City Council approved the Annexation Boundary Map by resolution, followed by the recording of the Annexation Map and Notice of Special Tax Lien by the City Clerk.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE

There is no Fiscal Impact to the city. Any Special tax Bonds to be issued on behalf of the CFD are secured solely by the Special Tax levies within the District and are not debt of the city's general fund.

Step 2: The Administrator shall calculate the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues that could be collected from Taxable Property in Improvement Area No. 1 after the Land Use Change based on application of the Base Special Taxes from Table

1. Step 3: If the revenues calculated in Step 2 are (i) higher than those determined in Step 1 or (ii) less than those calculated in Step 1, but the reduction in Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below Required Coverage, no further action is needed, and the Administrator shall update Attachment 2 to show the revised Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.

If the revenues calculated in Step 2 are less than those calculated in Step 1, and the Administrator determines that the reduction in Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, one of the following shall occur:

3.a. The landowner requesting the Land Use Change (the “Requesting Landowner”) may make a prepayment in an amount that will ensure that the reduced Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues are sufficient to provide Required Coverage, as determined pursuant to Section H below. If the Requesting Landowner notifies the Administrator that he/she would like to remedy the reduction by making a prepayment, such prepayment must be made by the earlier of (i) 30 days from the date of delivery of the prepayment estimate or (ii) the date of issuance of any Building Permits for any Parcel owned by the Requesting Landowner that was Final Map Property or Undeveloped Property at the time the Administrator prepared the prepayment estimate, or

3.b. If a prepayment is not received by the due date specified above, the Base Special Tax used to determine the Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Property in the area affected by the Land Use Change shall be increased ITEM 9.8.

Page 281 of 514 ends

IA No. 1, The Preserve CFD No. 2025-1 9 January 16, 2025 proportionately until the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues are sufficient to maintain Required Coverage.

Pursuant to this Section D.1, the Administrator may from time to time update Attachment 2 to reflect revised Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues. Such update shall be maintained internally by the Administrator and shall not require recordation of an amended RMA.

If multiple Land Use Changes are proposed simultaneously by a single landowner (which may include approval of multiple Final Maps at one time), and the landowner requests that the impact of two or more of the Land Use Changes be considered together, the Administrator shall consider the combined effect of the Land Use Changes to determine if there is a reduction in Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues. If there is a reduction that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage, and no prepayment has been received, then the Base Special Tax used to determine the Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Property in the areas affected by the Land Use Changes shall be increased proportionately until the aggregate amount that can be levied within such areas is equal to the amount that could have been levied prior to the proposed Land Use Changes. If Land Use Changes are proposed simultaneously by multiple landowners, or if an individual landowner proposing multiple Land Use Changes does not request that such Land Use Changes be considered together, the Administrator shall consider the proposed Land Use Changes individually.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, once a certificate of occupancy has been issued for a Residential Unit on a Parcel, the Maximum Special Tax for the Parcel cannot be increased because of subsequent Land Use Changes that may occur within the area in which the Parcel is located.

The duties imposed on the Administrator pursuant to this Section D to review Land Use Changes, and to review Final Maps and make certain calculations, are intended only to facilitate the administration of the Special Tax and to better assure the sufficiency of tax capacity to pay debt service on Bonds. Such duties are not intended to give any developer, subdivider, or owner of property the right to receive notice of the potential impact of Land Use Changes on the Special Tax applicable to a Parcel; and each developer, subdivider, or owner of property whose prope rty is the subject of a Land Use Change shall be responsible for understanding the impact thereof on the Special Tax applicable to such property.

2. Partial Prepayments

If a Parcel makes a partial prepayment pursuant to Section H below, the Administrator shall recalculate the Maximum Special Tax for the Parcel pursuant to Section H.2. In addition, the Administrator shall update Attachment 2 to reflect the prepayment and the revised Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 1. After the prepayment has been received, the application of Sections D and H of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues after the prepayment.

3. Conversion of a Parcel of Public Property to Private Use

If, in any Fiscal Year, a Parcel of Public Property is converted to private use, such Parcel shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax. The Maximum Special Tax for each such Parcel shall be determined based on the applicable Base Special Tax for the Parcel, as determined by the ITEM 9.8.

IA No. 1, The Preserve CFD No. 2025-1 10 January 16, 2025 Administrator. In addition, the Administrator shall update Attachment 2 to reflect the conversion and the revised Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 1.

4. Reduction in Maximum Special Tax

The Base Special Tax for Residential Units set forth in Table 1 may be reduced prior to the First Bond Sale. Such a reduction shall be made without a vote of the qualified CFD electors if the Master Developer requests a reduction in the Base Special Tax. Any such reduction shall occur at least 30 days prior to the First Bond Sale. Such reductions to the Base Special Tax need not be proportionate among the Tax Zones and/or Land Use Categories.

E. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX

Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:

Step 1: T he Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special Tax Requirement prior to applying any Capitalized Interest that is available in the CFD accounts.

Step 2: If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 in order to meet the Special Tax Requirement after Capitalized Interest has been applied to reduce the Special Tax Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Final Map Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel of Final Map Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special Tax Requirement.

Step 3: If additional revenue is needed after Step 2, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel of Undeveloped Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special Tax Requirement.

Step 4: If additional revenue is needed after Step 3, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Taxable Welfare Exemption Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Welfare Exemption Property for such Fiscal Year until the amount levied is equal to the Special Tax Requirement.

Step 5: If additional revenue is needed after Step 4, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Taxable Owners Association Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Owners Association Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special Tax Requirement.

Step 6: If additional revenue is needed after Step 5, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Public Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special Tax Requirement.

ITEM 9.8.

ATTACHMENT 2
Exhibit A to the Resolution

Page 283 of 514 ends

IA No. 1, The Preserve CFD No. 2025-1 11 January 16, 2025 F. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAX

The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in Section H below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.

The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on Bonds have been repaid. However, in no event shall Special Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2064-65. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a Parcel of Developed Property in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.

G. EXEMPTIONS

Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied in any Fiscal Year on the following:

(1) Public Property, except Taxable Public Property.

(2) Owners Association Property, except Taxable Owners Association Property.

(3) Welfare Exemption Property, except Taxable Welfare Exemption Property.

(4) Parcels that are owned by a public utility for an unmanned facility.

(5) Parcels that are subject to an easement that precludes any other use on the Parcel.

(6) Parcels that have fully prepaid the Special Tax obligation assigned to the Parcel pursuant to the formula set forth in Section H below.

H. PREPAYMENTS

The following definitions apply to this Section H:

“Outstanding Bonds” means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding, with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid by, an Assessor’s Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special Tax will be used to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall b e used as the amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.

“Previously Issued Bonds” means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of prepayment.

ITEM 9.8.

ATTACHMENT 2
Exhibit A to the Resolution

Page 284 of 514 ends

IA No. 1, The Preserve CFD No. 2025-1 12 January 16, 2025 “Public Facilities Requirement” means either $6 million in 2025 dollars, which shall increase on January 1, 2026, and on each January 1 thereafter by 2% of the amount in effect in the prior year or such other number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund improvements that are authorized to be funded by Improvement Area No. 1. The Public Facilities Requirement shown above may be adjusted each time property annexes into Improvement Area No. 1 or there is an adjustment to the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues due to a Land Use Change.

“Remaining Facilities Costs” means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes, which amount shall not be less than $0.

1. Full Prepayment

The Special Tax obligation applicable to a Parcel in Improvement Area No. 1 may be prepaid and the obligation of the Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of a Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows: (capitalized terms as defined below):

Bond Redemption Amount
plus R emaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount

As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by application of the following steps:

Step 1. Compute the amount that could be collected from the Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal Year in which prepayment would be received by the City by applying the Base Special Tax to the Expected Land Uses for the Parcel. If this Section H is being applied to calculate a prepayment pursuant to Section D above, compute the amount by which the proposed Land Use Change would reduce Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues below the amount needed for Required Coverage, and use this amount for purposes of this Step 1.

Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such Parcel by the total Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for all property in Improvement Area No. 1, as shown in Attachment 2.

ITEM 9.8.

ATTACHMENT 2
Exhibit A to the Resolution

Page 285 of 514 ends

IA No. 1, The Preserve CFD No. 2025-1 13 January 16, 2025 Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).

Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).

Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the “Remaining Facilities Amount”).

Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).

Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount starting with the first Bond interest payment date after which the prepayment will be received and which has not been included in a tax levy until the next earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. However, if Bonds are callable at the first interest payment date after the prepayment has been received, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this prepayment formula will not apply.

Step 8: Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the prepayment has been received and which has not been included in a tax levy until the next earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.

Step 9: Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed pursuant to Step 7 (the “Defeasance Requirement”).

Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the “ Administrative Fees and Expenses”).

Step 11. If and to the extent so provided in the Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the prepayment (the “Reserve Fund Credit”).

Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to Step 11 (the “Prepayment Amount”).

Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under ITEM 9.8.

The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into the Improvement Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses.

Once a full prepayment of a Parcel’s Special Tax obligation has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be recorded against the Parcel to reflect the discharge of the Parcel’s obligation to pay the Special Tax. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been collected.

2. Partial Prepayment

A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be equal to the portion of the Maximum Special Tax that was not prepaid. Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien shall be recorded against the Parcel to reflect the reduced Special Tax lien for the Parcel, and the Administrator shall update Attachment 2 to show the revised Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues. However, an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been collected.

3. Maintaining Required Coverage

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any point in time the Administrator determines that the Maximum Special Tax revenue that could be collected from Taxable Property that remains subject to the Special Tax after the proposed prepayment would be less than the Required Coverage on Bonds that will remain outstanding after defeasance or redemption of Bonds from proceeds of the estimated prepayment, the amount of the prepayment shall be increased until the amount of Bonds defeased or redeemed is suffi cient to reduce remaining annual debt service to a point at which Required Coverage is maintained.

I. INTERPRETATION OF RMA

Interpretations may be made by Resolution of the City Council to interpret, clarify, and/or revise this RMA to correct any inconsistency, vagueness, or ambiguity as it relates to the Special Tax, method of apportionment, classification of properties, or any definition applicable to Improvement Area No. 1 of the CFD, as long as such correction does not materially affect the levy and collection of Special Taxes. The City, upon the request of an owner of land within Improvement Area No. 1 which is not Developed Property, may also amend this RMA in any manner acceptable to the City, by resolution or ordinance following a public hearing, upon the affirmative vote of such owner to such amendment and without the vote of owners of any other land within Improvement Area No. 1, provided such amendment only affects such owner's land. Under no circumstances may such revisions to the RMA decrease the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues to a level that will reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.

DATE: November 17, 2025

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Rachel Trinh, Development Senior Analyst

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO
CORDOVA AND GRANTLINE 220 INVESTORS, LLC RELATIVE TO

THE SUNCREEK PROJECT

RECOMMENDATION

Waive the first reading and introduce the Ordinance.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Ordinance would come back for a second reading and adoption at the next Regular City Council Meeting. Adoption of the Ordinance would amend the Development Agreement (DA) for the Suncreek Project which would remove the burdens and obligations of the DA and the First Amendment for the Firehouse Parcel 1 parcel.

BACKGROUND

In December 2013, the City approved the Suncreek Specific Plan and the Development Agreements for each of the six ownerships, including the Grantline 220 project, in the Suncreek Specific Plan area. On December 2, 2013, the City and Grantline & Chrysanthy 220 Investors, LLC (Landowner), entered into a Development Agreement (DA) for the Sunreek Project (Grantline 220). In June 2021, the City approved a Large Lot and Small Lot Tentative Subdivision Map for Grantline 220, consisting of 605 residential lots, 3 high density lots, 2 neighborhood parks, a school site, water quality basin and landscaping, and a remainder parcel. In August 2021, Landowner assigned all right, title, burdens and obligations of DA to Lennar Homes of California LLC. On June 6, 2022, the City adopted the First Amendment to the DA which amended certain sections of the DA regarding to the obligations with respect to the implementation of the Land Equalization Fee and to simplify the land equalization by eliminating the public land uses other than Quimby parks and implementing a Quimby Park In- Lieu Fee Program by Cordova Recreation and Park District. In September 2024, Lennar Homes of California reconveyed and assigned all right, title, interest, burdens, and obligations of the DA to Landowner for Lots 8, 9, 10 and the remainder of Grantline 220.

On September 29, 2025, Landowner granted a portion of the remainder of Grantline 220 to the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District for future fire station (Firehouse Parcel 1). Landowner and Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District requested to remove the Firehouse Parcel 1 parcel from the burdens and obligations of the DA and the First Amendment.

Page 296 of 514 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

PROJECT ANALYSIS

The proposed Second Amendment (Attachment 1) to the DA would remove the Firehouse Parcel 1 parcel from the burdens and obligations of the DA and the First Amendment. Due to being zoned general commercial, the Firehouse Parcel 1 parcel is exempt from the Park and Neigborhood Green and Affordable Housing Plan obligations. Other specific plan fee or citywide impact fee obligations, required by the DA and the First Amendment, are covered in the Specific Plan Nexus Study or City Municipal Code, Title 16. The Firehouse Parcel 1 parcel has also been annexed into various maintenance districts, required by the DA, as part of the overall annexation process of Grantline 220.

At the Regular Planning Commission meeting on November 12, 2025, the Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the Ordinance for the Second Amendment to the DA for Grantline 220.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

The proposed project has been analyzed as part of the Suncreek Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Approval of this Second Amendment is exempt from further environmental review under the general rule in California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) which states that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Second Amendment is exempt from CEQA because the only change is to remove the Firehouse Parcel 1 from burdens and obligations of the Development Agreement and it can therefore be seen with a certainty that there will be no significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE

The proposed Second Amendment removing the Firehouse Parcel 1 parcel from the burdens and obligations of the DA and the First Amendment would not have any fiscal impact due to the parcel being exempt from the certain fees required by the DA. The Firehouse Parcel 1 parcel is still required to pay Specific Plan and applicable citywide fees, per City Municipal Code, Title 16.

ORDINANCE NO. XX-2025

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA,

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE SUNCREEK PROJECT

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals.

A. In order to strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted Section 65864, et seq., of the Government Code (the "Development Agreement Statute"), authorizing the City, and any person having a legal or equitable interest in the real property, to enter into a development agreement and establish certain development rights in the property, which is the subject of the development project application. Pursuant to Government Code section 65868, Development Agreements may be amended by mutual assent of the parties.

B. In 2013 the City of Rancho Cordova (“City”) adopted the Suncreek Specific Plan Project (“Specific Plan”) and related approvals. The Specific Plan is a plan for a mixed-use development with a combination of employment-generating uses, retail and retail supporting services, recreational uses, and a broad range of residential uses and associated infrastructure and roads on an approximately 1,265-acre site in the city. The Specific Plan includes approximately 4,893 residential units at various densities on approximately 589 acres; approximately 80 acres of commercial use; approximately 12 acres of public/quasi-public uses; elementary schools and a combined middle/high school on approximately 111 acres; approximately 74 acres of parks and greens; approximately 387 acres of wetland preserve, stormwater detention basins and buffers; and major and minor roads with landscaping. In addition, the Project includes various on- and off-site infrastructure improvements; and

C. On November 18, 2013, the City Council, pursuant to Resolution No. 127- 2013, certified the EIR, adopted mitigation findings pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15091, adopted a statement of overriding considerations, and adopted a mitigation monitoring plan for the Specific Plan.

D. On December 2, 2013, the City and Grantline & Chrysanthy 220 Investors, LLC, entered (“Landowner”) into a Development Agreement for the Suncreek Project (“Project”), consisting of 605 residential lots, 3 high density lots, 2 neighborhood parks, a school site, water quality basin and landscaping, and a remainder parcel (Ordinance Number 42-2013). The Project is located on the west side of Grant Line Road, approximately 1 mile south of Douglas Road (the “Property”).

Page 298 of 514 ends

ITEM 10.2. ATTACHMENT 1 Ordinance No. XX-2025 Page 2 of 4

E. On August 17, 2021, Landowner entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (“Assignment”) with Lennar Homes of California, LLC relative to the Development Agreement. By the Assignment, Lennar Homes of California assumed all of Landowner’s right, title, interest, burdens and obligations under the Development Agreement with respect to and as related to the Property.

F. On June 6, 2022, the City Council, adopted Ordinance No. 11-2022, which was recorded in the Official Records of Sacramento County as Book 20220920 Page 0519. The Ordinance amended certain sections of the Development Agreement (“First Amendment”) to revise Lennar’s obligations with respect to the implementation and payment of the Land Equalization Fee and to simplify the land equalization by eliminating the public land uses other than Quimby parks and implementing a Quimby Park In-Lieu Fee Program by Cordova Recreation and Park District.

G. Lennar Homes of California reconveyed a portion of the Property (“Lots 8, 9, 10 and the remainder”) back to Landowner by grant deed recorded December 5, 2022 as Document No. 202212050362 and re-recorded February 23, 2023 as Document No. 202302230812, and by a grant deed recorded April 3, 2023 as Document No. 202304030436. An Assignment for Lots, 8, 9, 10, and the remainder of the Property, recorded as Document No. 202409120710, assigned Landowner all right, title, interest, burdens, and obligations under the Development Agreement with respect to and as related to Lots 8, 9, 10, and the remainder.

H. On September 29, 2025, Landowner granted a portion of the remainder parcel of the Property (“Firehouse Parcel 1”) to Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District for future fire station, by grant deed recorded September 29, 2025, as Document No.202509290679.

I. Pursuant to Government Code section 65868, the City and Landowner desire to revise the Development Agreement and the First Amendment to remove the Firehouse Parcel 1 from the burdens and obligations of the Development Agreement and the First Amendment.

J. On ___, 2025, the City Council, as the legislative body for the purposes of Development Agreement approval, held a properly noticed public hearing pursuant to Government Code section 65867 and considered all comments received in writing and all testimony received at the public hearing.

SECTION 2. Findings.

Therefore, on the basis of: (a) the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated herein; (b) the Suncreek Specific Plan; (c) the City of Rancho Cordova’s General Plan; (d) the Environmental Impact Report for the Suncreek Specific Plan, and (e) on the basis of the specific conclusions set forth below, the City Council finds and determines that:

Page 299 of 514 ends

ITEM 10.2. ATTACHMENT 1 Ordinance No. XX-2025 Page 3 of 4
A. The Second Amendment to the Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified and contained in the City’s General Plan in that: (a) the Project remains predominantly low-density residential and consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code; (b) the only change made to the Development Agreement and the First Amendment is to remove the Firehouse Parcel 1 from burdens and obligations of the Development Agreement and the First Amendment. All other previously approved terms and conditions remain the same for the remaining portion of the Property.

B. Because the Second Amendment allows for only the release of burdens and obligation of a portion of the remainder parcel of the Property, it is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use area in which the Property is located.

C. The Second Amendment to the Development Agreement is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land use policies in that the Second Amendment will continue to implement land use guidelines set forth in the General Plan and help fund infrastructure needed to serve new development.

D. The Second Amendment will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare in that the Project will proceed in accordance with the programs and policies of the General Plan.

E. The Second Amendment will not adversely affect the orderly development of property, or the preservation of property values, in that the amendment is consistent with the General Plan.

F. The Second Amendment is consistent with and includes the substantive elements of Government Code sections 65864 through 65869.5, and has been processed consistent with all the procedural requirements thereof.

SECTION 3. Approval of Second Amendment to Development Agreement.

The City Council hereby approves the Second Amendment to the Development Agreement, attached to this Ordinance and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, and authorizers the City manager to sign the amended Development Agreement after the effective date of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. CEQA. Approval of this Ordinance Amendment is exempt from further environmental review under the general rule in California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) which states that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because the only change is to remove the Firehouse Parcel 1 from burdens and obligations of the Development Agreement and it can therefore be seen with a certainty that there will be no significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 6. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the Ordinance, including the application of such part or provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

To this end, provisions of this Ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be held unconstitutional, invalid, or unenforceable.

SECTION 7. Effective Date. Within fifteen (15) days after adoption, a Summary of this Ordinance shall be published once in the Grapevine Independent, or the Sacramento Bee, a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in Sacramento County and circulated in the City of Rancho Cordova, in accordance with Government Code section 36933.
