In the event the Developer fails to cure any default under this Agreement within 20 days after the City mails a notice of such default to the Developer and the Developer's surety, Developer authorizes the City to perform the obligation for which Developer is in default and agrees to pay the entire cost of such performance by the City. The City may take over the work and complete the Works of Improvement, by contract or by any other method City deems appropriate, at the expense of the Developer. In such event, City, without liability for doing so, may complete the Works of Improvement using any of Developer's materials, appliances, plans and other property that are at the work site and that are necessary to complete the Works of Improvement.
8.3 Notice of Violation. The Developer's failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement constitutes Developer's consent for the City to file a notice of violation against all the lots in the Project, or to rescind or otherwise revert the Project to acreage.
Developer specifically recognizes that the determination of whether a reversion to acreage or rescission of the Project constitutes an adequate remedy for default by the Developer shall be within the sole discretion of the City.
Remedies Not Exclusive. In any case where this Agreement provides a specific remedy to City for a default by Developer hereunder, the Developer agrees that the choice of remedy or remedies for Developer's breach shall be in the discretion of the City.
Additionally, any remedy specifically provided in this Agreement shall be in addition to,
and not exclusive of, City's right to pursue any other administrative, legal, or equitable remedy to which it may by entitled.
8.5 Attorney's Fees and Costs. In the event that Developer fails to perform any obligation under this Agreement, Developer agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by City in securing performance of such obligations, including costs of suit and reasonable attorney's fees. In the event of any dispute arising out of Developer's performance of its obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Security Instruments referenced herein, the prevailing party in such action, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. Such attorney's fees and cost shall include fees and costs on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney's fees and costs shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs incurred in investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery, retaining expert witnesses, and all other necessary and related costs with respect to the litigation. All such fees and costs shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of the action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment.
8.6 Waiver. No waiver by the City of any breach or default by the Developer shall be considered valid unless in writing, and no such waiver by the City shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default by the Developer.
9. Indemnity/Hold Harmless. City or any officer, employee or agent thereof shall not be liable for any injury to persons or property occasioned by reason of the acts or omissions of Developer, its agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement.

This indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall extend to injuries to persons and damages or taking of property resulting from the design or construction of said Project, and the public improvements as provided herein, and in addition, to adjacent property owners as a consequence of the diversion of waters from the design and construction of public drainage systems, streets and other improvements. Recordation of the Notice of Acceptance by the City of the Works of Improvements shall not constitute an assumption by the City of any responsibility for any damage or taking covered by this Section. City shall not be responsible for the design or construction of the property to be dedicated or the improvements pursuant to the approved improvement plans or map, regardless of any negligent action or inaction taken by the City in approving the plans or map, unless the particular improvement design was specifically required by City over written objection by Developer submitted to the City Engineer before approval of the particular improvement design, which objection indicated that the particular improvement design was dangerous or defective and suggested an alternative safe and feasible

The provisions of this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect for ten (10) years following the recordation of the Notice of Acceptance by the City of the Works of Improvements. It is the intent of this section that Developer shall be responsible for all liability for design and construction of the improvements installed or work done pursuant to this Agreement and that City shall not be liable for any negligence, nonfeasance, misfeasance or malfeasance in approving or reviewing any work or construction. The improvement security shall not be required to cover the provisions of this Paragraph.
Developer shall reimburse the City for all costs and expenses, including but not limited to fees and charges of architects, engineers, attorneys, and other professionals, and court costs, incurred by City in enforcing this Section.

The City shall promptly notify the Developer of any claim, action, or proceeding and cooperate notify the Developer of any claim, action, or proceeding, or if the City fails to cooperate in the harmless the City. Nothing in this Section prohibits the City from participating in the defense of any claim, action, or proceeding if City bears its own attorney's fees and costs and defends the action in good faith.

1 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Rialto 2 as follows:
3 SECTION 1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth 4 in the recitals above of this Resolution are true and correct and incorporated herein. 5 SECTION 2. Based on substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during 6 the public hearing conducted with regard to the PPD No. 2022-0070, including written staff reports, 7 verbal testimony, site plans, other documents, and the conditions of approval stated herein, the 8 Planning Commission hereby determines that the PPD No. 2022-0070 satisfies the requirements of 9 Section 18.65.020E of the Rialto Municipal Code pertaining to the findings which must be made 10 precedent to granting a Precise Plan of Design. The findings are as follows:
11 The proposed development is in compliance with all city ordinances and regulations, unless in accordance with an approved variance; and
12 13 This finding is supported by the following facts:
14 The Site has a General Plan land use designation of Light Industrial and a zoning designation of Light Manufacturing (M-1). The Project, as conditioned herein, will comply 15 with all City ordinances and regulations, including those required by the M-1 zone, Chapter 16 18.104 (Outdoor Storage Uses) of the Rialto Municipal Code, and Chapter 18.61 (Design Guidelines) of the Rialto Municipal Code. The M-1 zone allows for the development and 17 operation of truck yards, such as the Project. Additionally, the Project meets all the required development standards of the M-1 zone, Chapter 18.104 (Outdoor Storage Uses) 18 of the Rialto Municipal Code, and Chapter 18.61 (Design Guidelines) of the Rialto 19 Municipal Code including, but not limited to, required building setbacks, parking, landscaping, building height, floor area ratio, etc.
20 The site is physically suitable for the proposed development, and the proposed 21 development will be arranged, designed, constructed, and maintained so that it will 22 not be unreasonably detrimental or injurious to property, improvements, or the health, safety or general welfare of the general public in the vicinity, or otherwise be 23 inharmonious with the city's general plan and its objectives, zoning ordinances or any 24 applicable specific plan and its objectives; and
25 This finding is supported by the following facts:
26 The Site is 3.48 acres in size, bound by one (1) public street (Lilac Avenue to the east), and is within the Light Manufacturing (M-1) zone. To the north of the project site is an existing single-family residence on approximately 2.87 acres of land, to the east, across Lilac 28 Avenue, are several incubator industrial buildings, to the south is an existing single-family residence on approximately 3.79 acres of land, and to the west is an existing single-family -2-
1 residence on approximately 2.16 acres of land. The Project is consistent with the MI-1 zone and the industrial land uses to the east of the Site. The Project is not expected to negatively 2 impact any surrounding uses with the successful implementation of measures such as 3 landscape buffering, the installation of solid screen walls, and other traffic related measures.
4 The proposed development will not unreasonably interfere with the use or enjoyment 5 of neighboring property rights or endanger the peace, health, safety or welfare of the 6 general public; and
This finding is supported by the following facts:
8 The Project's effects will be minimized through the implementation of the Conditions of 9 Approval contained herein, such as extensive landscaping, concrete screen walls, and enhanced architectural features. To the north of the project site is an existing single-family 10 residence on approximately 2.87 acres of land, to the east, across Lilac Avenue, are several 11 incubator industrial buildings, to the south is an existing single-family residence on approximately 3.79 acres of land, and to the west is an existing single-family residence on 12 'approximately 2.16 acres of land. The Project is consistent with the M-1 zone and the industrial land uses to the east of the Site. The most sensitive uses near the Site are the existing 13 single-tamily residences located to the north, south, and west of the Site. The Project is not expected to negatively impact any surrounding uses with the successful implementation of 14 measures such as landscape buffering, the installation of solid screen walls, and other traffic 15 related measures.
16 The proposed development will not substantially interfere with the orderly or planned 17 development of the City of Rialto.
18 This finding is supported by the following facts:
19 The Project is consistent with the Light Manufacturing (M-1) zone and is a logical addition to 20 the existing industrial developments to the east of the Site and throughout the surrounding area. The City staff have reviewed the design of the Project to ensure compliance with all 21 health, safety, and design requirements to ensure the Project will enhance the infrastructure and aesthetics of the local community.
22 23 SECTION 3. The Project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California 24 Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15332, In-Fill Development Projects.
