4.1 INTRODUCTION
Section 15097 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires all State and local agencies to establish monitoring or reporting programs for projects approved by a public agency whenever approval involves the adoption of either a “mitigated negative declaration” or specified environmental findings related to environmental impact reports.
The following is the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Airport South Industrial Park Project (proposed project). The intent of the MMRP is to ensure implementation of the mitigation measures identified within the EIR for the proposed project. Unless otherwise noted, the cost of implementing the mitigation measures as prescribed by this MMRP shall be funded by the applicant.
4.2 COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST
The MMRP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as they relate to the EIR prepared for the proposed project . This MMRP is intended to be used by City of Sacramento staff, and mitigation monitoring personnel to ensure compliance with mitigation measures during project implementation. Mitigation measures identified in this MM RP were developed in the EIR.
The EIR presents a detailed set of mitigation measures that will be implemented throughout the lifetime of the project. Mitigation is de fined by CEQA Guidelines, Section 15370, as a measure that:
• Avoids the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; • Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation;
• Rectifies the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impacted environment; • Reduces or eliminates the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the project; or
• Compensates for the impact by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments.
The intent of the MM RP is to ensure the implementation of adopted mitigation measures. The MMRP will provide for monitoring of construction activities as necessary and in- the-field identification and resolution of environmental concerns.
Monitoring and documenting the implementation of mitigation measures will be coordinated by the City of Sacramento. The table attached to this report identifies the mitigation measures, the monitoring action for each mitigation measure, the responsible party for the monitoring action, and timing of the monitoring action. The applicant will be responsible for fully understanding and

BACKGROUND
A. The City Council conducted a public hearing on November 18, 2025, and the City Planning and Design Commission conducted a public hearing on June 26, 2025, concerning the above annexation (reorganization), and based on documentary and oral evidence submitted at the public hearing, the Council hereby finds:
1. This action of reorganization is being taken pursuant to the Cortese-Knox- Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Government Code Section 56000 et. seq.);
2. This reorganization is the Annexation to City of Sacramento and Detachment from Natomas Fire Protection District, County Service Area (CSA) 1, and Sacramento County Water Agency (Zone 13): A description of the exterior boundaries of the affected territory subject to this reorganization is attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, and incorporated herein by reference;
3. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the annexation of Airport South Industrial is in the best interest of the City;
4. The reasons for the reorganization are as follows:
a. The affected territory is within the Sphere of Influence of the City. b. The annexation represents a logical and reasonable extension of the City boundaries since it directly abuts the City limits on the eastern project boundary;
c. The annexation does not result in unincorporated land being within the boundaries of another city;
d. The annexation does not preclude what would otherwise be a viable annexation by an adjoining city because the remaining unincorporated area is located such that it could not reasonably be annexed to another city or incorporated as a new city;
e. The annexation does not split lines of assessment or ownership; f. The annexation is consistent with the orderly annexation of territory within the City’s urban service area and is consistent with the City General Plan policy of annexing when providing City services; g. The annexation would facilitate the more efficient provision of municipal services, including compliance with uniform City planning and development standards;
h. The annexation will provide greater protection from inappropriate land uses adjacent to existing land uses that otherwise would be detrimental to the orderly development of the community; i. The annexation is in the interest of public health, safety and welfare, and contributes to the orderly development of the community;
j. The annexation is consistent with the City’s General Plan;
5. The regular County Assessment Roll will be utilized.
BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Sacramento hereby initiates the reorganization described above, and requests that proceedings be taken for the proposal pursuant to Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Government Code Section 56700, etal.)

B. LANDOWNER owns a legal or equitable interest in those certain parcels of real property (hereinafter the “Property”), described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which are located within the CITY. The Property consists of lands designated as Assessor Parcels Nos. 225-0020-023-0000; 225-0020-022-0000; 225-0020-024-0000; 225- 0020-034-0000; 225-0020-035-0000; 225-0020-030-0000; 225-0020-026-0000; 225-0020-027- 0000; 225-0020-021-0000; 225-0020-016-0000; 225-0020-017-0000; 225-0020-010-0000.
LANDOWNER seeks to develop the Property consistent with CITY’s General Plan, the 1994 North Natomas Community Plan, and the Planning and Development Code (Sacramento City Code title 17) as they exist on the Effective Date.
C. On May 3, 1994, after making specific findings and adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations, the City Council approved the 1994 North Natomas Community Plan by adopting Resolution No. 94-259 (hereinafter the “NNCP”).
D. On February 27, 2024, after a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council (1) certified the Master Environmental Impact Report for the Sacramento 2040 General Plan by adopting Resolution No. 2024-0065; and (2) approved the 2040 General Plan, which includes the North Natomas Community Plan Area, by adopting Resolution No. 2024-0066 (hereinafter the “General Plan”).

F. The coordinated and orderly development of the Property, and LANDOWNER’s commitment to the implementation of the ASI Finance Plan in order to assure the timely and properly-phased construction of all required Infrastructure and facilities, are essential to the proper implementation of the General Plan and the NNCP.
G. LANDOWNER desires to facilitate implementation of the General Plan, the NNCP and the ASI Finance Plan, and LANDOWNER therefore agrees to develop the Property in a manner consistent with the policies of the General Plan, the NNCP, the ASI Finance Plan and the Special Conditions, provided that LANDOWNER is assured that no subsequent changes in the General Plan, the NNCP, the ASI Finance Plan, the Zoning Ordinance or the Special Conditions shall apply to the Property during the term of this Agreement.
H. The City Council, on March 7, 1995, adopted the Procedural Ordinance, by which CITY will, inter alia, consider, adopt, amend and subsequently review the development agreements by and between CITY and a given landowner.
I. Development of the Property, in accordance with the conditions of this Development Agreement, will provide orderly growth and development of the Property in accordance with the requirements, policies, goals, standards, and objectives of the General Plan and the NNCP.
At the same time, it will assure that LANDOWNER is committed to funding its appropriate share of the cost of Infrastructure and other facilities which are the subject of the ASI Finance Plan, and that the funding for acquisition and construction of those facilities will be available to CITY as and when required under the Infrastructure phasing program.
J. This Agreement is voluntarily entered into by LANDOWNER in order to assure the implementation of the General Plan, the NNCP and the ASI Finance Plan, and is made in consideration of the rights conferred and the procedures specified herein for the development of the Property. This Agreement is voluntarily entered into by CITY in the exercise of its legislative discretion in order to assure the implementation of the General Plan, the NNCP, and the ASI Finance Plan and in consideration of the agreements and undertakings of LANDOWNER hereunder. But for LANDOWNER’s contribution to and participation in programs to mitigate the impacts of the development of the Property and the cumulative impacts of development in the NNCP area, and to the implementation of the ASI Financing Plan, the CITY would not approve development of the Property.

(5) To the extent that any actions of federal or state agencies (or actions of regional and local agencies, including CITY, required by federal or state agencies or actions of CITY taken in good faith in order to prevent adverse impacts upon CITY by state or federal actions) have the effect of preventing, delaying or modifying development of the NNCP area or any area therein, CITY shall not in any manner be liable for such prevention, delay or modification of said development. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, flood plain or wetlands designations and actions of CITY or regional agencies as a result thereof and the imposition of air quality measures or sanctions and actions of CITY or regional and local agencies as a result thereof. In such a situation, CITY’s actions shall not be arbitrary or capricious, and the parties shall meet and endeavor to achieve solutions which preserve the integrity of the NNCP, while to the extent feasible allow development of the Property in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.
(6) Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the authority of CITY to enact amendments to the Land Use and Development Regulations, or enact other ordinances or resolutions, which have the legal effect of protecting persons or property from conditions which create a health, safety or physical risk.
(7) Building codes, ordinances and regulations relating to construction standards or permits shall apply as of the time of grant of each applicable construction permit.
(8) No modification of CITY’s ordinances, resolutions, policies, rules or regulations adopted after the Effective Date, which purport to limit the rate of development over time or to govern the sequence of development of land within the NNCP area, shall apply to the Property. The provisions of this subsection apply to modifications adopted or imposed by the City Council, or through the initiative or referendum process; provided, however, nothing in this subsection shall limit the ability of CITY

H. Allocation Procedures for Building Square Footage. Procedures for allocating the uses or densities approved for the Property among the various parcels and/or portions thereof, and for resolution of any disputes regarding such allocations, shall be as follows:
(1) Allocation. Unless otherwise identified in the Development Plan, which is attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement, the allocation of building square footage shall be as identified in subsequent entitlements for the Property, including but not limited to parcel maps, subdivision maps, PUD schematic plans and development guidelines.

B. Levies Imposed by Other Jurisdictions. LANDOWNER shall be responsible for:
(1) all fees, charges, assessments, special taxes or levies of any sort imposed by any other state or local agency, including but not limited to the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, in the future as a charge for mitigation measures imposed for the purpose of mitigation of environmental impacts associated with the provision of flood control improvements;

In the event that any of the fees, charges, assessments, special taxes or levies covered by this subsection B are imposed by or with the assistance of CITY, LANDOWNER shall nevertheless be responsible therefor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit LANDOWNER’s right to protest, in accordance with applicable provisions of law: the formation of any district included within the provisions of this subsection or to protest the amount of any assessment levied by or on behalf of such district on the Property or any portion thereof; or to protest the nature and amount of any tax, fee, assessment or charge imposed pursuant to this subsection.

Ordinance No. ______________________
City Agreement No. ______________________ Date Adopted: ______________________ transfers, dedications and contributions, fees, assessment districts, community facilities districts and other sources, so that the land within the ASI Finance Plan Area pays for its share of the cost of such Infrastructure and facilities. The plan also recognizes that there are plan area costs associated with certain portions of Infrastructure and facilities, and that that share will ultimately have to be paid from other sources, even though developers within the area, including LANDOWNER, acknowledge that they may have to participate in funding costs on a fair share basis. LANDOWNER shall participate in the ASI Finance Plan, as made applicable to the development of the Property, and shall faithfully and timely comply with each and every provision thereof, including but not limited to assessments, special taxes, and other development fees and exactions set forth therein.
Without limiting the foregoing, applications for special permits, subdivision maps, or other land use entitlements and building permits may be made subject to LANDOWNER’s participation in and compliance with the plan. Failure to so participate shall be an event of default to which the default provisions of this Agreement and the Procedural Ordinance shall apply. For purposes of this Agreement “participate” and “participation” shall mean payment of all monies required by virtue of the ASI Finance Plan, and performance of all obligations imposed thereby.
D. LANDOWNER’s Waivers. LANDOWNER hereby agrees to the provisions of Exhibit F, which (without limitation) contains a comprehensive waiver of protest rights with respect to CITY’s establishment and implementation of development and impact fees; CITY’s actions in forming assessment districts and community facilities districts, and in levying assessments and taxes pursuant thereto; and CITY’s actions in implementing any provision of the ASI Finance Plan. As set forth in Exhibit F, LANDOWNER reserves the right to protest the actual amount of the fee, assessment or tax levy, or other CITY charge imposed on or allocated to the Property pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan.
7. Reconfiguration of Parcels. LANDOWNER shall have the right to file applications with CITY for subdivision, lot line adjustment, or for master parcelization of all or part of the Property, for the purpose of reconfiguration of the Property. Such applications shall be processed and determined in accordance with the provisions of section 5, and all other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Where reconfiguration requires a Special Permit, or a P.U.D. designation, or other entitlement applicable to the Property or portion thereof which is subject to the application, CITY reserves the right to require such entitlements as a condition of granting the application.
8. Infrastructure.
A. Construction by CITY. To the extent that funds are available to CITY pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan, and to the extent that any required real property has been transferred to CITY, or has been obtained by CITY through its power of eminent domain, which CITY

City Agreement No. ______________________ Date Adopted: ______________________ agrees to utilize, where required, and subject to LANDOWNER’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement and all of the terms and conditions of any entitlement applicable to the Property, CITY agrees to use its best efforts to bring about the construction of the Infrastructure required to implement the Development Plan (Exhibit B). Provided, however, that CITY’s obligations hereunder shall be limited to those items of Infrastructure which, under the ASI Finance Plan, are to be constructed by CITY or under CITY’s direction and control; where Infrastructure is to be constructed by LANDOWNER, either pursuant to conditions of approval or otherwise, the provisions of this subsection shall not apply.
B. Construction by LANDOWNER. When required by conditions of approval, and in accordance with CITY specifications and standards in effect as of the date of construction, LANDOWNER shall diligently construct Infrastructure required for implementation of the Development Plan (Exhibit B). LANDOWNER shall further comply with all required funding requirements specified in the ASI Finance Plan.
C. Infrastructure Financing Proceedings.
(1) LANDOWNER-Initiated Proceedings. In the event that LANDOWNER desires to initiate proceedings for the formation of an assessment district, community facilities district, or other similar form of improvement financing mechanism to fund the construction of Infrastructure required by conditions of approval or otherwise, LANDOWNER shall file an application with CITY for that purpose in accordance with CITY’s Assessment District Policy Manual, as same may be amended from time to time, or such other policy document as may after the Effective Date be adopted by the City Council as a substitute therefor. CITY agrees to diligently process any such application, provided that such application:
(a) is complete and is accompanied by payment of CITY fees applicable on the date of filing of the application;

City Agreement No. ______________________ Date Adopted: ______________________ (e) provides for all funding requirements established by CITY for the purpose of payment of the costs of outside consultants needed, in CITY’s sole discretion; and
(f) provides that the specific consultants (e.g., bond counsel, financial advisors, underwriters, or other consultants as may be necessary under the circumstances) shall be selected by CITY in its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, CITY agrees that upon request made by LANDOWNER, CITY will consider making exceptions to the Assessment District Policy Manual, to allow for alternative methods of financing in- tract improvements, including but not limited to formation of assessment districts or similar financing mechanisms, where such alternatives are contemplated by the ASI Finance Plan, including any amendments thereto. Provided, however, that CITY reserves its discretion to condition use of any such alternatives on satisfaction of performance preconditions (including but not limited to drainage capacity), and to consider underwriting considerations and criteria, together with the manner in which such alternatives further the overall implementation of the ASI Finance Plan.
Further, CITY may in its reasonable discretion deny any such request upon grounds, including but not limited to consistency of application of its policies and the potential for establishing negative precedent.
(2) Proceedings Initiated by CITY. In the event that pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan, CITY in its discretion determines that a particular financing mechanism, including but not limited to an assessment district, a community facilities district, a fee district, a development fees procedure, or any similar mechanism, is required in order to implement the ASI Finance Plan, LANDOWNER’s participation obligations set forth hereunder (including but not limited to Exhibit C), in the ASI Finance Plan, or in any condition of approval, shall apply.
(3) Maintenance Districts. LANDOWNER may, following the procedures specified in subsection 8D(1) above, request that CITY establish one or more maintenance districts for the purpose of financing the maintenance of landscaping or other public improvements, whereunder lands benefitting from the improvements and their maintenance are assessed for a proportionate share of the maintenance cost.
E. Reimbursement to LANDOWNER.
(1) From Financing Proceeds. Subject to Chapter 4 of the ASI Finance Plan, where LANDOWNER has provided advance funding for public Infrastructure required by the ASI Finance Plan or has constructed such Infrastructure under the direction and

Ordinance No.______________________
City Agreement No.______________________ Date Adopted:______________________ control of CITY, LANDOWNER shall be reimbursed for Reimbursable Infrastructure Costs at such time as CITY has established a permanent financing mechanism in the form of an assessment district, community facilities district, or other similar mechanism through which permanent public financing for such improvements is established. Those items qualifying as Reimbursable Infrastructure Costs shall be determined pursuant to CITY policies in existence at the time of establishment of the permanent financing mechanism. CITY agrees to entertain reasonable requests from LANDOWNER for exceptions to such policies; provided, however, that CITY may, in its reasonable discretion, deny any such request upon grounds, including but not limited to consistency of application of its policies and the potential for establishing negative precedent. Nothing in this Agreement shall authorize reimbursement of any cost which, in the opinion of CITY’s bond counsel, is not permissible for purposes of establishing or retaining tax free status of any bonds issued, or contemplated to be issued by CITY.
(2) Reimbursement From Others Benefitted. In any case where CITY requires or permits LANDOWNER to plan, design, construct, or fund the planning, design or construction of improvements required for development by the ASI Finance Plan, in excess of or beyond those required for development of the Property, or, where required by the ASI Finance Plan, to make dedications, provide mitigation or incur costs in connection with public improvements or the planning of the ASI area in excess of or beyond those required for development of the Property, and the provisions of the preceding subsection do not apply, CITY shall utilize its best efforts to require that all other Persons benefitted by the improvements shall reimburse (through fee districts, agreements, conditions of approval, or otherwise) LANDOWNER for such Person’s proportionate share of such costs as determined in accordance with the ASI Finance Plan, or by CITY. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “in excess of or beyond those required for development of the Property” shall mean requirements which exceed LANDOWNER’s fair proportionate share, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the ASI Finance Plan and any associated documents or studies.
Such reimbursement shall be subject to the limitations specified in the preceding paragraph (including those provisions relating to consideration by CITY of exceptions to its policies), relating to CITY policy and Reimbursable Infrastructure Costs. Reimbursement shall be limited to that amount which exceeds LANDOWNER’s appropriate share of the cost, determined in accordance with principles established in the ASI Finance Plan, and any associated documents or studies.

The fee shall be spread across lands within the ASI Finance Plan Area in the same fashion as the public facilities fees. Credits shall be given to those landowners who have paid some or all of their share of the said costs, for the amounts so paid. The fee shall be payable prior to CITY’s acceptance of an application for the first discretionary entitlement for the land as to which an application has been filed with CITY.
9. LANDOWNER Obligations.
A. Transfer of Land to CITY. As set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, LANDOWNER has agreed to transfer lands needed for Infrastructure or public facilities to CITY, or to such other public agency as is appropriate.

In the event that, at the time of the required transfer to CITY, the location of, or the quantity of land required for the Infrastructure or public facilities has changed from that depicted on Exhibit H, to such a significant degree or extent that the location or quantity is inconsistent with the ASI Finance Plan, the parties shall meet and negotiate, and in good faith endeavor to reach agreement on any amendments to this Agreement needed to allow development of the Property in a reasonable manner, taking into account the changes in Infrastructure and public facilities. If agreement is reached between the parties, the procedures specified herein and in the Procedural Ordinance shall apply to

The transportation management association shall be charged with the obligation to implement transportation system management measures to achieve a reduction in vehicular trips by employees and residents within the Project. The transportation management association articles of incorporation, bylaws, fee assessment, annual budget and transportation system management measures shall be subject to CITY approval. The transportation system management measures funded by the association may include paying for a portion of the net operating costs for the light rail system and other transit services provided by the Sacramento Regional Transit District that serve the Property.

Provided, however, that CITY may at any time after the tender elect to assume representation of itself; in that event, from and after the date CITY gives notice of its election to do so, CITY shall be responsible for its own attorney fees and costs incurred thereafter.
(2) If, in such litigation, a final judgment or other final order is issued by the court which has the effect of invalidating or rendering ineffective, in whole or in part, any provision of this Agreement or the Agreement itself, or any entitlement issued during the term of this Agreement and pursuant to its terms, the following shall apply:

(2) In the event that the parties, after having engaged in good faith negotiations, are unable to agree on such amendments, the parties shall consider whether suspension of the term of this Agreement is appropriate, and if so, what the terms and conditions of any such suspension should be. In the event that the parties, after having engaged in good faith negotiations are unable to agree on the suspension issues, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving the other party sixty (60) days’ written notice of termination.
(3) LANDOWNER or CITY shall have the right to institute litigation relating to the New Law, and raise any issues relating to its validity. If such litigation is filed, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until final judgment is issued.
Provided, however, that if any action that CITY would take in furtherance of this Agreement would be rendered invalid, facially or otherwise, by the New Law, CITY shall not be required to undertake such action until the litigation is resolved, or the New Law is otherwise determined invalid, inapplicable, or is repealed. In the event that such judgment invalidates the New Law, or determines that it does not affect the validity of this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and its term shall be extended by the amount of time between the effective date of the New Law, and the effective date of the judgment. In the event that such judgment determines that the validity of this Agreement is, directly or indirectly affected by the New Law, the provisions of subsections 11.A(1) and 11.A(2) above shall apply.

LANDOWNER understands and agrees that financing of the Infrastructure, public improvements and facilities and other programs required under the NNCP will be accomplished through a variety of financing mechanisms, including but not limited to a combination of special assessment districts, tax districts (such as Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts) and developer fees, all of which mechanisms are designed to spread the cost of those items in accordance with benefit and other methodologies. LANDOWNER further understands and agrees that an important component of this Agreement is LANDOWNER’s advance consent to the formation of, or implementation of any such district or imposition of any such fee, and LANDOWNER’s agreement not to protest or contest such formation, implementation or fee imposition.
Accordingly, LANDOWNER agrees for itself, its constituents, successors and assigns that it fully, finally and forever waives and relinquishes any right it may have to protest or contest the formation or implementation of any special assessment or tax district or any similar form of financing mechanism, or any combination thereof, together with any rights it may have to contest the imposition of any developer fee established or imposed pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prevent LANDOWNER from presenting CITY any information or opinions regarding any financing mechanism CITY may from time to time consider establishing or imposing, which information or opinions relate to the dollar amount of any fees, assessments, taxes or other charges imposed by CITY pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan, or which information or opinions relate to the question of consistency of the financing mechanism with the ASI Finance Plan. If a financing mechanism is proposed for adoption by CITY, which mechanism both: (i) directly and significantly conflicts with the language and the intent of the ASI Finance Plan, as amended; and (ii) directly and significantly conflicts with the ASI nexus study adopted by the City Council in connection with establishment of development fees applicable to the ASI Finance Plan Area, LANDOWNER shall have the right to protest only the actual amount of the directly and significantly conflicting proposed fee, charge, special tax, or assessment proposed to be levied, charged, assessed or taxed against the Property by virtue of the proposed financing mechanism. Provided, however, that LANDOWNER’s said right to protest, together with any right to object, shall be waived unless LANDOWNER’s protest of objection is made at or before the time of the public hearing wherein the proposed financing mechanism, together with the fee, charge, special tax or assessment is established by the City Council. LANDOWNER’s right to judicial challenge of any such mechanism, and the fees, charges, assessments or special taxes imposed or to be imposed in connection therewith, shall be limited to review of the decision of the City Council establishing the said mechanism and the said fees, charges, assessments or special taxes; LANDOWNER shall not have the right, in connection with any land use entitlement proceeding with respect to the Property, to judicially challenge the financing mechanism or the fees, charges, assessments or special taxes as applied to the Property, and waives any statutory or common law right to pay such fees, charges, assessment or special taxes under protest.
For purposes of this Agreement, “fees, charges, assessments or special taxes” shall include any monetary exaction or payment required to be paid by LANDOWNER by virtue of or relating to development of the Property.
Exhibits
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LANDOWNER for itself, its constituents, successors and assignees specifically, as to the Property, agrees to the following which are adopted by the City Council pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan:
(1) Waives, and hereby grants advance consent to the formation and implementation of any and all special assessment districts, tax districts (such as Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts), fee districts or other financing mechanisms of a similar nature recommended or established by CITY for the purpose of financing Infrastructure, public improvements and facilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LANDOWNER specifically waives:
(i) the provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (division 4 of the Streets and Highways Code, beginning at section 2800), together with associated provisions of the California Constitution;
(ii) the provisions of any other statute designed to provide a protest or contest procedure in connection with formation and implementation of a district or similar financing mechanism; and
(iii) the provisions of any procedure embodied in the Sacramento City Code designed to provide a protest or contest procedure in connection with formation and implementation of a district or similar financing mechanism.
(2) Waives, and hereby grants advance consent to the formation and implementation of any and all special fees, exactions, development fees, assessments, taxes or other charges established by CITY for the purpose of financing Infrastructure, public improvements and facilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LANDOWNER specifically waives:
(i) to the extent applicable, those statutory and constitutional provisions specified in paragraph (1) above; and
(ii) the provisions of Government Code section 66000 et seq. or any other provision of law providing a procedure for contest or protest of establishment or imposition of special fees, exactions, development fees, assessments, taxes or other charges of a similar nature.
(3) Agrees to:
(i) affirmatively petition CITY, where applicable, for the formation of all special districts and other financing mechanisms that have been or will be in the future selected or recommended by CITY in order to implement the ASI Finance Plan;
(ii) execute an irrevocable proxy or proxies when necessary (such as in the formation of, or imposition of taxes relative to, a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District)
Exhibits
authorizing a representative designated by CITY, who will vote in favor of establishing the specific financing mechanism in question; and
(iii) execute immediately upon presentation any document which is required or convenient for the formation of the district or facilitation of the particular financing mechanism.
LANDOWNER agrees and specifically represents to CITY that it is fully aware of all of its legal rights relative to the waivers, advance consents and other agreements set forth herein, having been fully advised by its own independent attorneys. Having such knowledge and understanding of its rights, LANDOWNER has nevertheless voluntarily entered into this Agreement, of which this Exhibit is a material part.

RECITALS
A. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risks of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted section 65864 et seq. of the Government Code which authorizes any city, county, or city and county to enter into a development agreement with an applicant for a development project, in order to establish certain rights and obligations of the parties relative to the Property.

The Property consists of lands designated as Assessor Parcels No. 225-0030-023-0000. LANDOWNER seeks to develop the Property consistent with CITY’s General Plan, the 1994 North Natomas Community Plan, and the Planning and Development Code (Sacramento City Code title 17) as they exist on the Effective Date.
C. On May 3, 1994, after making specific findings and adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations, the City Council approved the 1994 North Natomas Community Plan by adopting Resolution No. 94-259 (hereinafter the “NNCP”).

F. The coordinated and orderly development of the Property, and LANDOWNER’s commitment to the implementation of the ASI Finance Plan in order to assure the timely and properly-phased construction of all required Infrastructure and facilities, are essential to the proper implementation of the General Plan and the NNCP.
G. LANDOWNER desires to facilitate implementation of the General Plan, the NNCP and the ASI Finance Plan, and LANDOWNER therefore agrees to develop the Property in a manner consistent with the policies of the General Plan, the NNCP, the ASI Finance Plan and the Special Conditions, provided that LANDOWNER is assured that no subsequent changes in the General Plan, the NNCP, the ASI Finance Plan, the Zoning Ordinance or the Special Conditions shall apply to the Property during the term of this Agreement.
H. The City Council, on March 7, 1995, adopted the Procedural Ordinance, by which CITY will, inter alia, consider, adopt, amend and subsequently review the development agreements by and between CITY and a given landowner.
I. Development of the Property, in accordance with the conditions of this Development Agreement, will provide orderly growth and development of the Property in accordance with the requirements, policies, goals, standards, and objectives of the General Plan and the NNCP.
At the same time, it will assure that LANDOWNER is committed to funding its appropriate share of the cost of Infrastructure and other facilities which are the subject of the ASI Finance Plan, and that the funding for acquisition and construction of those facilities will be available to CITY as and when required under the Infrastructure phasing program.
J. This Agreement is voluntarily entered into by LANDOWNER in order to assure the implementation of the General Plan, the NNCP and the ASI Finance Plan, and is made in consideration of the rights conferred and the procedures specified herein for the development of the Property. This Agreement is voluntarily entered into by CITY in the exercise of its legislative discretion in order to assure the implementation of the General Plan, the NNCP, and the ASI Finance Plan and in consideration of the agreements and undertakings of LANDOWNER hereunder. But for LANDOWNER’s contribution to and participation in programs to mitigate the impacts of the development of the Property and the cumulative impacts of development in the NNCP area, and to the implementation of the ASI Financing Plan, the CITY would not approve development of the Property.

LANDOWNER shall remain obligated to perform all terms and conditions of this Agreement, unless such purchaser, assignee or transferee, to the satisfaction of and in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, executes and delivers to CITY an express agreement to assume all of the obligations and other terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to the Property or such portion thereof sold, assigned or transferred. The execution of such an assumption agreement shall relieve LANDOWNER of the obligations expressly assumed only if (a) LANDOWNER is not in default under this Agreement at the time of the assignment or transfer; and (b) LANDOWNER has provided CITY with notice of said assignment or transfer in the manner provided hereunder.
Any such assumption agreement with respect to LANDOWNER’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed to be to the satisfaction of the City Attorney if executed in the form of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “D” and incorporated herein by this reference, or such other form as shall be proposed by LANDOWNER and approved by the City Attorney prior to the effective date of the assignment.

City Agreement No. ______________________ Date Adopted: ______________________ (1) Development of the Property is subject to all required discretionary approvals. In reviewing and approving applications for special permits and other discretionary approvals, CITY may exercise Project Review and may attach such conditions and requirements as are consistent with the policies, goals, standards and objectives of the General Plan, the NNCP and the ASI Finance Plan, and as may be necessary to comply with all applicable legal requirements and policies of CITY pertaining to such reserved discretionary approvals.
C. Development Timing. This Agreement contains no requirement that LANDOWNER must initiate or complete development of any phase of the development of the Property or any portion thereof within any period of time set by CITY. It is the intention of this provision that LANDOWNER be able to develop the Property in accordance with LANDOWNER’s own schedule; provided, however, that to the extent that phasing is required by the Special Conditions, such provisions shall govern. No future modification of the Sacramento City Code or any ordinance or regulation which limits the rate of development over time shall be applicable to the Property. However, nothing herein shall be construed to relieve LANDOWNER from any time conditions in any permit or subdivision map approval or to excuse the timely completion of any act which is required to be completed within a time period set by any applicable code or permit provisions.
D. Special Conditions. Development of the Property shall be subject to the Special Conditions, as specified in Exhibit C.
E. Land Use and Development Regulations.
(1) Subject to the Special Conditions specified in Exhibit C, development of the Property shall be subject to the Land Use and Development Regulations applicable to such development on the Effective Date.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent any future changes in Land Use and Development Regulations adopted by CITY purport to be applicable to the Property but are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including subsection 5E(1) above, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail, unless the parties or their successors in interest mutually agree to amend or modify this Agreement in accordance with the provisions for modification hereinafter set forth.
(3) To the extent that any future changes in the Land Use and Development Regulations adopted by CITY are applicable to the Property and are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or are otherwise made applicable

(4) Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the application to development of the Property of changes in the Land Use and Development Regulations, the terms of which are specifically mandated by changes in state or federal laws or regulations.
In the event state or federal laws or regulations enacted after the effective date of this Agreement or action by any governmental jurisdiction other than CITY prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement or require changes in permits, maps or plans approved hereunder by CITY, this Agreement shall be modified, extended or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state or federal laws or regulations or the regulations of such other governmental jurisdiction.
(5) To the extent that any actions of federal or state agencies (or actions of regional and local agencies, including CITY, required by federal or state agencies or actions of CITY taken in good faith in order to prevent adverse impacts upon CITY by state or federal actions) have the effect of preventing, delaying or modifying development of the NNCP area or any area therein, CITY shall not in any manner be liable for such prevention, delay or modification of said development. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, flood plain or wetlands designations and actions of CITY or regional agencies as a result thereof and the imposition of air quality measures or sanctions and actions of CITY or regional and local agencies as a result thereof. In such a situation, CITY’s actions shall not be arbitrary or capricious, and the parties shall meet and endeavor to achieve solutions which preserve the integrity of the NNCP, while to the extent feasible allow development of the Property in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.
(6) Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the authority of CITY to enact amendments to the Land Use and Development Regulations, or enact other ordinances or resolutions, which have the legal effect of protecting persons or property from conditions which create a health, safety or physical risk.
(7) Building codes, ordinances and regulations relating to construction standards or permits shall apply as of the time of grant of each applicable construction permit.
(8) No modification of CITY’s ordinances, resolutions, policies, rules or regulations adopted after the Effective Date, which purport to limit the rate of development over time or to govern the sequence of development of land within the NNCP area, shall apply to the Property. The provisions of this subsection apply to modifications adopted or imposed by the City Council, or through the initiative or referendum process; provided, however, nothing in this subsection shall limit the ability of CITY

F. CITY Review of Applications. Consistent with the standards set forth in section 15 of this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude CITY from its right and responsibility to review applications for entitlements submitted by LANDOWNER in accordance with its normal and usual procedures and practices, as they may exist at the time the application is accepted as complete, or is otherwise deemed complete by operation of law.
G. Extension of Entitlements. Pursuant to Government Code section 66452.6 all vesting tentative subdivision maps, master parcel tentative maps, parcel maps, subdivision tentative maps, planned unit development permits, special permits, or any other maps, rezonings or land use entitlements of potentially limited duration previously, contemporaneously or subsequently approved for the Property subject to this Development Agreement, shall be valid for a minimum term equal to the full term of this Agreement (including the initial term, and any renewal period resulting from exercise by LANDOWNER of the options provided for in section 3 hereof), or for a period of thirty-six (36) months, whichever is longer, but in no event for a shorter period than the maximum period of time permitted by the Subdivision Map Act or Government Code for such land use entitlements. The provisions of section 25 of this Agreement relating to estoppel certificates shall apply to any request made by LANDOWNER to CITY with respect to the life of any entitlement covered by this subsection. Nothing in this section shall be construed to, or operate to extend the term of this Agreement.
H. Allocation Procedures for Building Square Footage. Procedures for allocating the uses or densities approved for the Property among the various parcels and/or portions thereof, and for resolution of any disputes regarding such allocations, shall be as follows:
(1) Allocation. Unless otherwise identified in the Development Plan, which is attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement, the allocation of building square footage shall be as identified in subsequent entitlements for the Property, including but not limited to parcel maps, subdivision maps, PUD schematic plans and development guidelines. The appropriate entitlement to address the allocation of building square footage shall be determined by City. Allocations for residential development shall be determined in the subdivision mapping process, unless CITY determines that some other method is appropriate under the circumstances.
(2) Dispute Resolution. Where a dispute exists between LANDOWNER, and/or any successor or successors in interest, with respect to any matter involving allocation of building square footage for or on the Property, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration, utilizing the commercial arbitration procedures of the American Arbitration Association, or some other alternative dispute resolution procedure mutually agreed upon by the parties involved in the dispute. In no case shall CITY be a party to such dispute, or to the

6. Fees, Charges, Assessments and Taxes.
A. City Fees. All applications for CITY approvals, permits and entitlements shall be subject to the application fees, processing fees, mitigation fees and other development fees within the control of the CITY that are in force and effect as of the date that the application or other request for approval is filed.
B. Levies Imposed by Other Jurisdictions. LANDOWNER shall be responsible for:
(1) all fees, charges, assessments, special taxes or levies of any sort imposed by any other state or local agency, including but not limited to the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, in the future as a charge for mitigation measures imposed for the purpose of mitigation of environmental impacts associated with the provision of flood control improvements;
(2) all fees, charges, assessments, special taxes or levies of any sort associated with the financing of the construction and implementation of said flood control improvements and measures;

(4) any fees or other charges required by RD-1000; and (5) ad valorem real estate taxes, and utility fees.
In the event that any of the fees, charges, assessments, special taxes or levies covered by this subsection B are imposed by or with the assistance of CITY, LANDOWNER shall nevertheless be responsible therefor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit LANDOWNER’s right to protest, in accordance with applicable provisions of law: the formation of any district included within the provisions of this subsection or to protest the amount of any assessment levied by or on behalf of such district on the Property or any portion thereof; or to protest the nature and amount of any tax, fee, assessment or charge imposed pursuant to this subsection.

Ordinance No. ______________________
City Agreement No. ______________________ Date Adopted: ______________________ transfers, dedications and contributions, fees, assessment districts, community facilities districts and other sources, so that the land within the ASI Finance Plan Area pays for its share of the cost of such Infrastructure and facilities. The plan also recognizes that there are plan area costs associated with certain portions of Infrastructure and facilities, and that that share will ultimately have to be paid from other sources, even though developers within the area, including LANDOWNER, acknowledge that they may have to participate in funding costs on a fair share basis. LANDOWNER shall participate in the ASI Finance Plan, as made applicable to the development of the Property, and shall faithfully and timely comply with each and every provision thereof, including but not limited to assessments, special taxes, and other development fees and exactions set forth therein.
Without limiting the foregoing, applications for special permits, subdivision maps, or other land use entitlements and building permits may be made subject to LANDOWNER’s participation in and compliance with the plan. Failure to so participate shall be an event of default to which the default provisions of this Agreement and the Procedural Ordinance shall apply. For purposes of this Agreement “participate” and “participation” shall mean payment of all monies required by virtue of the ASI Finance Plan, and performance of all obligations imposed thereby.
D. LANDOWNER’s Waivers. LANDOWNER hereby agrees to the provisions of Exhibit F, which (without limitation) contains a comprehensive waiver of protest rights with respect to CITY’s establishment and implementation of development and impact fees; CITY’s actions in forming assessment districts and community facilities districts, and in levying assessments and taxes pursuant thereto; and CITY’s actions in implementing any provision of the ASI Finance Plan. As set forth in Exhibit F, LANDOWNER reserves the right to protest the actual amount of the fee, assessment or tax levy, or other CITY charge imposed on or allocated to the Property pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan.
7. Reconfiguration of Parcels. LANDOWNER shall have the right to file applications with CITY for subdivision, lot line adjustment, or for master parcelization of all or part of the Property, for the purpose of reconfiguration of the Property. Such applications shall be processed and determined in accordance with the provisions of section 5, and all other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Where reconfiguration requires a Special Permit, or a P.U.D. designation, or other entitlement applicable to the Property or portion thereof which is subject to the application, CITY reserves the right to require such entitlements as a condition of granting the application.
8. Infrastructure.
A. Construction by CITY. To the extent that funds are available to CITY pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan, and to the extent that any required real property has been transferred to CITY, or has been obtained by CITY through its power of eminent domain, which CITY

City Agreement No. ______________________ Date Adopted: ______________________ agrees to utilize, where required, and subject to LANDOWNER’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement and all of the terms and conditions of any entitlement applicable to the Property, CITY agrees to use its best efforts to bring about the construction of the Infrastructure required to implement the Development Plan (Exhibit B). Provided, however, that CITY’s obligations hereunder shall be limited to those items of Infrastructure which, under the ASI Finance Plan, are to be constructed by CITY or under CITY’s direction and control; where Infrastructure is to be constructed by LANDOWNER, either pursuant to conditions of approval or otherwise, the provisions of this subsection shall not apply.
B. Construction by LANDOWNER. When required by conditions of approval, and in accordance with CITY specifications and standards in effect as of the date of construction, LANDOWNER shall diligently construct Infrastructure required for implementation of the Development Plan (Exhibit B). LANDOWNER shall further comply with all required funding requirements specified in the ASI Finance Plan.
C. Infrastructure Financing Proceedings.
(1) LANDOWNER-Initiated Proceedings. In the event that LANDOWNER desires to initiate proceedings for the formation of an assessment district, community facilities district, or other similar form of improvement financing mechanism to fund the construction of Infrastructure required by conditions of approval or otherwise, LANDOWNER shall file an application with CITY for that purpose in accordance with CITY’s Assessment District Policy Manual, as same may be amended from time to time, or such other policy document as may after the Effective Date be adopted by the City Council as a substitute therefor. CITY agrees to diligently process any such application, provided that such application:
(a) is complete and is accompanied by payment of CITY fees applicable on the date of filing of the application;
(b) otherwise complies with the Land Use and Development Regulations and applicable law, as it exists on the date of the application, including but not limited to the Assessment District Policy Manual;

City Agreement No. ______________________ Date Adopted: ______________________ (e) provides for all funding requirements established by CITY for the purpose of payment of the costs of outside consultants needed, in CITY’s sole discretion; and
(f) provides that the specific consultants (e.g., bond counsel, financial advisors, underwriters, or other consultants as may be necessary under the circumstances) shall be selected by CITY in its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, CITY agrees that upon request made by LANDOWNER, CITY will consider making exceptions to the Assessment District Policy Manual, to allow for alternative methods of financing in- tract improvements, including but not limited to formation of assessment districts or similar financing mechanisms, where such alternatives are contemplated by the ASI Finance Plan, including any amendments thereto. Provided, however, that CITY reserves its discretion to condition use of any such alternatives on satisfaction of performance preconditions (including but not limited to drainage capacity), and to consider underwriting considerations and criteria, together with the manner in which such alternatives further the overall implementation of the ASI Finance Plan.
Further, CITY may in its reasonable discretion deny any such request upon grounds, including but not limited to consistency of application of its policies and the potential for establishing negative precedent.
(2) Proceedings Initiated by CITY. In the event that pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan, CITY in its discretion determines that a particular financing mechanism, including but not limited to an assessment district, a community facilities district, a fee district, a development fees procedure, or any similar mechanism, is required in order to implement the ASI Finance Plan, LANDOWNER’s participation obligations set forth hereunder (including but not limited to Exhibit C), in the ASI Finance Plan, or in any condition of approval, shall apply.
(3) Maintenance Districts. LANDOWNER may, following the procedures specified in subsection 8D(1) above, request that CITY establish one or more maintenance districts for the purpose of financing the maintenance of landscaping or other public improvements, whereunder lands benefitting from the improvements and their maintenance are assessed for a proportionate share of the maintenance cost.
E. Reimbursement to LANDOWNER.
(1) From Financing Proceeds. Subject to Chapter 4 of the ASI Finance Plan, where LANDOWNER has provided advance funding for public Infrastructure required by the ASI Finance Plan or has constructed such Infrastructure under the direction and

Ordinance No.______________________
City Agreement No.______________________ Date Adopted:______________________ control of CITY, LANDOWNER shall be reimbursed for Reimbursable Infrastructure Costs at such time as CITY has established a permanent financing mechanism in the form of an assessment district, community facilities district, or other similar mechanism through which permanent public financing for such improvements is established. Those items qualifying as Reimbursable Infrastructure Costs shall be determined pursuant to CITY policies in existence at the time of establishment of the permanent financing mechanism. CITY agrees to entertain reasonable requests from LANDOWNER for exceptions to such policies; provided, however, that CITY may, in its reasonable discretion, deny any such request upon grounds, including but not limited to consistency of application of its policies and the potential for establishing negative precedent. Nothing in this Agreement shall authorize reimbursement of any cost which, in the opinion of CITY’s bond counsel, is not permissible for purposes of establishing or retaining tax free status of any bonds issued, or contemplated to be issued by CITY.
(2) Reimbursement From Others Benefitted. In any case where CITY requires or permits LANDOWNER to plan, design, construct, or fund the planning, design or construction of improvements required for development by the ASI Finance Plan, in excess of or beyond those required for development of the Property, or, where required by the ASI Finance Plan, to make dedications, provide mitigation or incur costs in connection with public improvements or the planning of the ASI area in excess of or beyond those required for development of the Property, and the provisions of the preceding subsection do not apply, CITY shall utilize its best efforts to require that all other Persons benefitted by the improvements shall reimburse (through fee districts, agreements, conditions of approval, or otherwise) LANDOWNER for such Person’s proportionate share of such costs as determined in accordance with the ASI Finance Plan, or by CITY. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “in excess of or beyond those required for development of the Property” shall mean requirements which exceed LANDOWNER’s fair proportionate share, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the ASI Finance Plan and any associated documents or studies.
Such reimbursement shall be subject to the limitations specified in the preceding paragraph (including those provisions relating to consideration by CITY of exceptions to its policies), relating to CITY policy and Reimbursable Infrastructure Costs. Reimbursement shall be limited to that amount which exceeds LANDOWNER’s appropriate share of the cost, determined in accordance with principles established in the ASI Finance Plan, and any associated documents or studies.

The fee shall be spread across lands within the ASI Finance Plan Area in the same fashion as the public facilities fees. Credits shall be given to those landowners who have paid some or all of their share of the said costs, for the amounts so paid. The fee shall be payable prior to CITY’s acceptance of an application for the first discretionary entitlement for the land as to which an application has been filed with CITY.
9. LANDOWNER Obligations.
A. Transfer of Land to CITY. As set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, LANDOWNER has agreed to transfer lands needed for Infrastructure or public facilities to CITY, or to such other public agency as is appropriate. Set forth in Exhibit H, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, is a map depicting the currently contemplated approximate location and amount of land which LANDOWNER will be required to transfer to CITY, together with a categorical listing of the types of Infrastructure and public facilities which are covered by the terms of this subsection.

In the event that, at the time of the required transfer to CITY, the location of, or the quantity of land required for the Infrastructure or public facilities has changed from that depicted on Exhibit H, to such a significant degree or extent that the location or quantity is inconsistent with the ASI Finance Plan, the parties shall meet and negotiate, and in good faith endeavor to reach agreement on any amendments to this Agreement needed to allow development of the Property in a reasonable manner, taking into account the changes in Infrastructure and public facilities. If agreement is reached between the parties, the procedures specified herein and in the Procedural Ordinance shall apply to

The transportation management association shall be charged with the obligation to implement transportation system management measures to achieve a reduction in vehicular trips by employees and residents within the Project. The transportation management association articles of incorporation, bylaws, fee assessment, annual budget and transportation system management measures shall be subject to CITY approval. The transportation system management measures funded by the association may include paying for a portion of the net operating costs for the light rail system and other transit services provided by the Sacramento Regional Transit District that serve the Property.

Provided, however, that CITY may at any time after the tender elect to assume representation of itself; in that event, from and after the date CITY gives notice of its election to do so, CITY shall be responsible for its own attorney fees and costs incurred thereafter.
(2) If, in such litigation, a final judgment or other final order is issued by the court which has the effect of invalidating or rendering ineffective, in whole or in part, any provision of this Agreement or the Agreement itself, or any entitlement issued during the term of this Agreement and pursuant to its terms, the following shall apply:

(2) In the event that the parties, after having engaged in good faith negotiations, are unable to agree on such amendments, the parties shall consider whether suspension of the term of this Agreement is appropriate, and if so, what the terms and conditions of any such suspension should be. In the event that the parties, after having engaged in good faith negotiations are unable to agree on the suspension issues, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving the other party sixty (60) days’ written notice of termination.
(3) LANDOWNER or CITY shall have the right to institute litigation relating to the New Law, and raise any issues relating to its validity. If such litigation is filed, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until final judgment is issued.
Provided, however, that if any action that CITY would take in furtherance of this Agreement would be rendered invalid, facially or otherwise, by the New Law, CITY shall not be required to undertake such action until the litigation is resolved, or the New Law is otherwise determined invalid, inapplicable, or is repealed. In the event that such judgment invalidates the New Law, or determines that it does not affect the validity of this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and its term shall be extended by the amount of time between the effective date of the New Law, and the effective date of the judgment. In the event that such judgment determines that the validity of this Agreement is, directly or indirectly affected by the New Law, the provisions of subsections 11.A(1) and 11.A(2) above shall apply.

Protest Waiver Provisions Agreed to by LANDOWNER
LANDOWNER understands and agrees that financing of the Infrastructure, public improvements and facilities and other programs required under the NNCP will be accomplished through a variety of financing mechanisms, including but not limited to a combination of special assessment districts, tax districts (such as Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts) and developer fees, all of which mechanisms are designed to spread the cost of those items in accordance with benefit and other methodologies. LANDOWNER further understands and agrees that an important component of this Agreement is LANDOWNER’s advance consent to the formation of, or implementation of any such district or imposition of any such fee, and LANDOWNER’s agreement not to protest or contest such formation, implementation or fee imposition.
Accordingly, LANDOWNER agrees for itself, its constituents, successors and assigns that it fully, finally and forever waives and relinquishes any right it may have to protest or contest the formation or implementation of any special assessment or tax district or any similar form of financing mechanism, or any combination thereof, together with any rights it may have to contest the imposition of any developer fee established or imposed pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prevent LANDOWNER from presenting CITY any information or opinions regarding any financing mechanism CITY may from time to time consider establishing or imposing, which information or opinions relate to the dollar amount of any fees, assessments, taxes or other charges imposed by CITY pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan, or which information or opinions relate to the question of consistency of the financing mechanism with the ASI Finance Plan. If a financing mechanism is proposed for adoption by CITY, which mechanism both: (i) directly and significantly conflicts with the language and the intent of the ASI Finance Plan, as amended; and (ii) directly and significantly conflicts with the ASI Nexus Study adopted by the City Council in connection with establishment of development fees for the ASI Finance Plan Area, LANDOWNER shall have the right to protest only the actual amount of the directly and significantly conflicting proposed fee, charge, special tax, or assessment proposed to be levied, charged, assessed or taxed against the Property by virtue of the proposed financing mechanism. Provided, however, that LANDOWNER’s said right to protest, together with any right to object, shall be waived unless LANDOWNER’s protest of objection is made at or before the time of the public hearing wherein the proposed financing mechanism, together with the fee, charge, special tax or assessment is established by the City Council. LANDOWNER’s right to judicial challenge of any such mechanism, and the fees, charges, assessments or special taxes imposed or to be imposed in connection therewith, shall be limited to review of the decision of the City Council establishing the said mechanism and the said fees, charges, assessments or special taxes; LANDOWNER shall not have the right, in connection with any land use entitlement proceeding with respect to the Property, to judicially challenge the financing mechanism or the fees, charges, assessments or special taxes as applied to the Property, and waives any statutory or common law right to pay such fees, charges, assessment or special taxes under protest.
For purposes of this Agreement, “fees, charges, assessments or special taxes” shall include any monetary exaction or payment required to be paid by LANDOWNER by virtue of or relating to development of the Property.
Exhibits
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LANDOWNER for itself, its constituents, successors and assignees specifically, as to the Property, agrees to the following which are adopted by the City Council pursuant to the ASI Finance Plan:
(1) Waives, and hereby grants advance consent to the formation and implementation of any and all special assessment districts, tax districts (such as Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts), fee districts or other financing mechanisms of a similar nature recommended or established by CITY for the purpose of financing Infrastructure, public improvements and facilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LANDOWNER specifically waives:
(i) the provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (division 4 of the Streets and Highways Code, beginning at section 2800), together with associated provisions of the California Constitution;
(ii) the provisions of any other statute designed to provide a protest or contest procedure in connection with formation and implementation of a district or similar financing mechanism; and
(iii) the provisions of any procedure embodied in the Sacramento City Code designed to provide a protest or contest procedure in connection with formation and implementation of a district or similar financing mechanism.
(2) Waives, and hereby grants advance consent to the formation and implementation of any and all special fees, exactions, development fees, assessments, taxes or other charges established by CITY for the purpose of financing Infrastructure, public improvements and facilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LANDOWNER specifically waives:
(i) to the extent applicable, those statutory and constitutional provisions specified in paragraph (1) above; and
(ii) the provisions of Government Code section 66000 et seq. or any other provision of law providing a procedure for contest or protest of establishment or imposition of special fees, exactions, development fees, assessments, taxes or other charges of a similar nature.
(3) Agrees to:
(i) affirmatively petition CITY, where applicable, for the formation of all special districts and other financing mechanisms that have been or will be in the future selected or recommended by CITY in order to implement the ASI Finance Plan;
(ii) execute an irrevocable proxy or proxies when necessary (such as in the formation of, or imposition of taxes relative to, a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District)
Exhibits
authorizing a representative designated by CITY, who will vote in favor of establishing the specific financing mechanism in question; and
(iii) execute immediately upon presentation any document which is required or convenient for the formation of the district or facilitation of the particular financing mechanism.
LANDOWNER agrees and specifically represents to CITY that it is fully aware of all of its legal rights relative to the waivers, advance consents and other agreements set forth herein, having been fully advised by its own independent attorneys. Having such knowledge and understanding of its rights, LANDOWNER has nevertheless voluntarily entered into this Agreement, of which this Exhibit is a material part.

Airport South Industrial Finance Plan
June 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 1
Introduction
The Airport South Industrial Project (ASI or Project) is located in an area in unincorporated Sacramento County (County). The site encompasses a total of about 437 undeveloped acres (excluding approximately 38 acres of Caltrans 1-5 Fee Title Right of Way) that are currently used for agricultural purposes.1 The Project location is directly south of Metro Air Park (MAP) and Interstate 5 (I-5), southwest of the Northlake development in the City of Sacramento (City), and west of the North Natomas Community Plan in the City.
Surrounding development in the area includes Sacramento International Airport and adjacent commercial development sites; Metro Air Park; Amazon SMF-1 Fulfillment Center; Life Storage Facility; Westlake and Northlake subdivisions; West Drainage Canal; Paso Verde School; and other undeveloped agricultural land. Map 1-1 shows the regional location of the Project.
The Project site is situated outside of the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI). Before construction activity can begin, the Project will require discretionary approval by the Sacramento Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) of an SOI Amendment (SOIA) that would expand the Sacramento SOI to include the project site. Subsequent discretionary approval would annex the project site into the City.
This ASI Public Facilities Finance Plan (Finance Plan) presents a financing strategy for backbone infrastructure and public facilities (as defined herein) based on improvement requirements, estimated costs, and existing and proposed funding sources. It details proposed new ASI development impact fee programs that will provide funding for ASI backbone infrastructure and public facilities, required public land acquisition, and required specific plan entitlement costs.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 3
Land Use
As shown in Table 1-1, the proposed project will encompass development of 311.3 net developable acres.2 Applicant-sponsored warehouse distribution uses make up the majority of the developable net acreage (235.6 acres), while future industrial uses owned by non-participating landowners make up 62.3 net acres.
Applicant-sponsored highway commercial uses, including restaurant, fueling station, and hotel uses, constitute the remaining 13.4 net acres of developable land. Map 1-2 shows a Project land use plan.
The total planned development will result in approximately 5.7 million square feet of building area at buildout. For reference, Table 1-1 also shows the maximum allowable building area under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The CEQA maximum square footage is not used for the financial estimates in this Finance Plan.
Purpose of the Finance Plan
The Finance Plan identifies all backbone infrastructure improvements, public facilities, and associated administrative costs needed to serve the proposed land uses. This Finance Plan describes the backbone infrastructure and public facilities necessary to serve the Project, estimated construction costs for the improvements, and financing mechanisms that could be used to ensure construction of the improvements in a timely manner. The Finance Plan is designed to achieve the following goals:
• Identify ways to finance construction of public infrastructure and facilities through public and private financing.
• Use existing City, Sacramento Area Sewer District (SacSewer), and special district fee programs to the extent possible.
• Identify Project-specific fees (ASI Plan Area Fees) to fund all or a portion of major backbone infrastructure and other public facilities not included in existing fee programs. These fees include three proposed new fee programs to be based on Development Agreement (DA) requirements, as summarized below:
‒ ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program: funds backbone infrastructure.
‒ ASI Public Land Acquisition DA Fee Program: funds public land acquisition. ‒ ASI Specific Plan Reimbursement DA Fee Program: funds specific plan entitlement costs.
2 The net developable acreage includes developable land, not including public facilities and internal roads.

• Make appropriate use of municipal debt–financing mechanisms. • Build in flexibility to respond to market conditions. • Provide developer funding for appropriate facilities.
Summary
Overview of Financing Strategy
Buildout of the Project will require construction of roadway, sewer, water, and drainage improvements and contributions to construction of other public facilities, such as schools and parks. Cost estimates for required backbone infrastructure and other public facilities have been derived from a combination of engineering data provided by Wood Rodgers and other data obtained from the City, Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS), the Project developer, and other sources. See Appendix A for the detailed Capital Improvement Plan prepared by Wood Rodgers.
Table 1-2 summarizes the total cost of backbone infrastructure and other public facilities required to serve the Project. At buildout, backbone and other public facilities are estimated to cost approximately $92.3 million. This figure does not include the costs of in-tract improvements, which are anticipated to be financed privately.
Table 1-3 shows the financing sources used to fund backbone infrastructure and other public facilities for the Project. Table 1-4 shows additional detail and backup for the backbone infrastructure. As shown, the major infrastructure required for development to proceed in the Project is anticipated to be funded through a combination of public and private financing. Fees (i.e., City, other agencies, and ASI Plan Area Fees) will be used to fund required facilities when possible. The City and other agencies serving the Project have existing development impact fee programs to fund a portion of the sewer and water infrastructure included in this Finance Plan, as well as required contributions to the parks and school facilities. For most of the backbone infrastructure, the developer will construct the facilities and may be reimbursed through Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) bond proceeds and appropriate fee program credits and reimbursements if such arrangements are approved by the City and the appropriate reimbursement or credit agreement is executed.

It is expected that costs will change over time. As described in Chapter 7, if costs or land uses change significantly, or if other funding becomes available, the proposed new ASI Plan Area Fee programs will need to be updated accordingly.
Bond financing likely will be needed to help fund items required during the early years of development in the Project, as well as at other strategic times when accumulated development impact fees or other proposed public funding are insufficient to fund the necessary facilities required for new development in a timely manner. Debt financing, however, will be limited to prudent levels and shall be consistent with federal, State of California (State), and City requirements and guidelines.
Financing Strategy Implementation
The strategy of the Finance Plan is detailed below:
• Fully fund or construct all backbone infrastructure and other public facilities needed to serve the entire Project.
• Use, when available, existing City and other agency fee programs to fund backbone infrastructure and other public facilities.
• Create the ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program to help fund backbone infrastructure not funded through other public financing mechanisms or private funding sources.
• Create the ASI Public Land Acquisition DA Fee Program to fund the acquisition of public land required for various uses, such as pump stations. • Create the ASI Specific Plan Reimbursement DA Fee Program to fund specific plan entitlement costs.
• Identify future beneficiaries of ASI infrastructure and establish appropriate funding mechanisms.
• Phase backbone infrastructure to ensure it is constructed when necessary for new development and when funds are available to construct such public improvements.
• Permit the use of land-secured bond debt financing programs to provide up- front financing for necessary backbone infrastructure and other public facilities when other funding sources are unavailable to provide sufficient funds concurrent with development demands.
• Ensure financing mechanisms are flexible to accommodate different combinations of infrastructure timing and funding requirements.
Airport South Industrial Finance Plan
June 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 11
The City will administer implementation of the Finance Plan, and such administration is anticipated to include the following actions:
• When appropriate, update relevant existing citywide fee programs (such as the Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF), Park Impact Fee (PIF) or Water System Development fee) to reflect updated Project land uses, facilities, costs, or revenue sources.
• Implement the ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program, the ASI Public Land Acquisition DA Fee Program, and the ASI Specific Plan Reimbursement DA Fee Program.
• Form a Mello-Roos CFD for infrastructure.
• Form a Mello-Roos CFD for maintenance of streetscapes, utilities, signage, monumentation and other amenities.
Depending on the timing of other Project entitlement documents and related public hearing process, the Finance Plan may need to be revised to integrate one or more of the following items:
• Additional City comments/requirements for the Finance Plan. • Changes to the Tentative Master Parcel Map and accompanying land uses. • Additional Project comments from the City and affected stakeholders. • Development of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). • Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) municipal services review and plan for services.
• Development of Project Conditions of Approval.
• Preparation of a Project DA.
After its approval, the Finance Plan will need to be updated periodically to account for changes in land uses, infrastructure improvements and costs, and funding sources. Changes in the Finance Plan should be re-evaluated within the context of the overall financing strategy to ensure required funding is available when needed. Consistent with prior City practices, a Finance Plan update will require an amendment to the Development Agreement.

Land Uses
Description of Land Uses
ASI is located in an unincorporated area of the County. The ASI site encompasses a total of about 437 undeveloped acres (excluding approximately 38 acres of Caltrans 1-5 Fee Title Right of Way) that are currently used for agricultural purposes.3 As shown in Map 1-1 in Chapter 1, the Project is located directly south of MAP and I-5, southwest of the Northlake development in the City, and west of the North Natomas Community Plan in the City.
Surrounding development in the area includes Sacramento International Airport and adjacent commercial development sites; MAP; Amazon SMF-1 Fulfillment Center; Life Storage Facility; Westlake and Northlake subdivisions; West Drainage Canal; Paso Verde School; and other undeveloped agricultural land.
The Project site is situated outside of the City’s SOI. Before construction activity can begin, the Project will require discretionary approval by the Sacramento Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) of an SOI Amendment (SOIA) that would expand the Sacramento SOI to include the project site. Subsequent discretionary approval would annex the project site into the City.
As shown in Table 1-1 in Chapter 1, the proposed project will encompass development of 311.3 net developable acres.4 Public facilities and internal roads will account for another 125.3 net acres. Applicant-sponsored warehouse distribution uses make up the majority of the developable net acreage (235.6 acres), while future industrial uses owned by non-participating landowners make up 62.3 net acres. Applicant-sponsored highway commercial uses, including restaurant, fueling station, and hotel uses, constitute the remaining 13.4 net acres of developable land. Map 1-2 in Chapter 1 shows the proposed Project land use plan.
The total planned development will result in 5.7 million square feet of building area at buildout. For reference, the maximum allowable building area under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is around 6.7 million square feet.
The CEQA maximum square footage is not used for the financial estimates in this Finance Plan.

Backbone Infrastructure and Public
Facilities Costs
Summary
Buildout of the Project will require construction of roadway, sewer, water, and storm drainage infrastructure, as well as a variety of other public facilities. This Finance Plan identifies those backbone infrastructure and public facility requirements that benefit the Airport South Industrial Park, including the following improvements:
Backbone Infrastructure:
• Roadways
• Sanitary Sewer
• Storm Drainage
• Potable Water
Public Facilities:
• Parks
• School Facilities
• Public Lands (Sewer and Drainage Pump Stations)
This chapter discusses the required infrastructure and public facilities for the Project and provides the estimated construction costs (in 2024$) associated with each category. The backbone infrastructure requirements are based on the Airport South Industrial Capital Improvement Plan prepared by Wood Rodgers, which is attached as Appendix A to this report. The parks and schools cost estimates are based on estimated fee revenue from existing development impact fee programs that would be generated by the Project’s planned uses. The public land acquisition requirements and costs were provided by the developer and the City. The cost estimates included herein have been prepared by a qualified engineering consultant based on the best available information. Cost estimates are typically reviewed by City and other agency public works or engineering staff to ensure they reflect appropriate opinions of probable cost. As the Project continues through entitlement and into the development stages, updated cost information will be available (based on more detailed improvement plans) and, when appropriate, can be used to update the funding mechanisms described in this Finance Plan.
Airport South Industrial Finance Plan
June 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 15
Table 1-2 in Chapter 1 summarizes the estimated backbone infrastructure and public facilities costs, which total approximately $92.3 million. Nearly 70 percent of the costs are attributable to roadway and storm drainage improvements.
Definitions of Backbone Infrastructure
and Public Facilities
This Finance Plan will use the following definitions to more precisely define these terms:
• Backbone Infrastructure: This term includes most of the essential public service-based items that are underground or on the surface. It includes roads, water, sewer, drainage, recycled water, levees, erosion control, and dry utilities. Backbone infrastructure is sized to serve numerous individual development projects in the Project and in some cases serves the broader region’s development areas.
• Public Facilities: This group of items provides amenities to the Project or infrastructure support. In this Finance Plan, these facilities include parks, schools, and public land used for sewer and drainage pumpstations. • Facilities: This term is used in the Finance Plan to generically include a combination of backbone infrastructure and public facilities when a precise breakdown is not required.
• Subdivision Improvements include in-tract improvements (roads, sewer, water, drainage, recycled water, erosion control, and dry utilities) that are in or adjacent to individual subdivision projects. These improvements are funded privately, and the costs of these improvements are not estimated in the Finance Plan.
Backbone Infrastructure
Roadways
Project development will generate vehicular trips inside and outside of the Project, which will result in the need for additional roadway capacity to maintain adequate levels of service. The proposed roadway system consists of major arterials and collectors that work together to provide convenient and safe access to all areas in the Project and adequate off-site access to proposed development in the Project.
Airport South Industrial Finance Plan
June 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 16
Onsite Improvements
The on-site roadways and intersections listed below are included in this Finance Plan. The roadway improvements generally include construction of the full roadway, including all travel lanes, medians, and frontage. The intersection improvements include intersection construction, widening, and signalization:
• Metro Air Parkway from the I-5 Metro Air Parkway Interchange south to ASI Drive.
• Airport South Industrial Drive, including roundabout and drain bridge/culvert construction.
• NAPOTS Connector Road—ASI Drive to South Bayou.
• Power Line Road—South Bayou to the project south boundary. • Power Line Road—I-5 south to South Bayou Road.
• South Bayou Road (road abandonment).
• South Bayou Road (Campbell West Pl. to east project boundary). • Intersection improvements: Metro Air Parkway at Airport South Industrial Drive; Power Line Road at Airport South Industrial Drive; Power Line Road at South Bayou (west boundary).
Offsite Improvements
Off-site roadway requirements include improvements to the Metro Air Parkway interchanges and the City of Sacramento intersections listed below:
• Metro Air Parkway Interchange at Northbound I-5 Off Ramp. • Metro Air Parkway Interchange at Southbound I-5 On Ramp. • Del Paso Road and El Centro Road Intersection.
• Del Paso Road and East Commerce Way Intersection.
Cost Summary
As summarized in Table 1-4 in Chapter 1, the on-site roadway costs total approximately $29.1 million, and off-site roadway costs total approximately $3.2 million. It is anticipated that all of the roadway costs will be funded by the proposed ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program, with an estimated $292,000 in on-site costs and $1.2 million in off-site costs expected to be reimbursed from the Metro Air Park Financing Plan.
Airport South Industrial Finance Plan

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 17
Roadway Improvement Timing
Refinements to the required roadway improvements and timing are further described in the Development Agreement for the Project. These refinements include the need for additional buildout analysis to address the timing and extent of the transportation improvements and/or the fair share contributions for the Project.
Sanitary Sewer
SacSewer will serve the Project with sanitary sewer collection and treatment. The Finance Plan includes backbone sanitary sewer improvements, including an on- site sewer pump station, on-site trunk and collector gravity sewer, and an off-site sewer main. As summarized in Table 1-4 in Chapter 1, sanitary sewer improvement costs total approximately $16.8 million, with $7.7 million in on-site sewer improvement costs and the remaining $9.1 million allocated to off-site improvements.
This Finance Plan is based on the assumption the Project is eligible for SacSewer credits or reimbursements for sanitary sewer improvements included in the SacSewer fee program. Approximately $1.4 million of sewer pump station, trunk gravity sewer, and off-site sewer costs will be funded through the proposed ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program with the remaining $12.5 million funded through the SacSewer fee programs. The estimated $3.0 million of collector gravity sewer costs will be funded by private developers.
Water
The City will provide water service to the Project upon its connection to the existing water supply and distribution network. The City determines placement of new water distribution facilities as development plans are formulated. Provision of water service to the Project land uses will require the construction of on-site water transmission and distribution facilities. No off-site improvements will be required to provide water service to the Project.
This Finance Plan includes on-site 30-inch transmission lines that will connect to City facilities for water delivery, and 12-inch distribution lines that will deliver water to Project land uses.
As summarized in Table 1-4 in Chapter 1, water improvement costs for the Project total approximately $5.7 million. The water distribution mains cost is currently proposed to be funded through $3.1 million in ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program funds and $2.6 million from private developer funds. Future coordination with the City Department of Utilities (DOU) and the City Manager’s office will determine whether City water development fees will Airport South Industrial Finance Plan
June 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 18
fund up to $1.8 million (for conversion of a County transmission main to a City transmission main) of the $5.7 million total backbone water infrastructure costs.
Storm Drainage
Backbone storm drainage infrastructure serving the Project is designed to meet City design criteria. Stormwater flows generated in the Project generally will drain to proposed detention basins at multiple locations throughout the proposed Project development and then will be pumped to trunk line facilities along Metro Air Parkway and Airport South Industrial Drive. The detention basin is designed to accommodate the Project’s flood control and stormwater quality treatment requirements. The storm drainage costs also include site import material costs.
As summarized in Table 1-4 in Chapter 1, on-site drainage improvement costs total approximately $31.1 million. This total amount is proposed to be funded through $6.4 million in ASI DIF funds and the remaining $24.8 million from private developer funds.
Public Facilities
Parks
The Project land use plan does not specify any specific park sites or projects, so the funds are used as part of a broader impact fee program at the current time. The total park facilities cost of $1.3 million (see Table 1-3 in Chapter 1) is estimated as the total revenue generated through the City Park Impact Fee Program and will be used to fund parks facilities throughout the City.
Schools
The Project is located in the Natomas Unified School District (NUSD). Payment of the existing NUSD school facilities fees fulfills the Project’s obligation for school facility construction. The total school facilities cost of $4.5 million (see Table 1-3 in Chapter 1) is estimated as the total revenue generated by payment of the NUSD school facilities fees and will be used to fund NUSD facilities.
Public Land
The Project will include public land dedicated for sewer and drainage pump stations. The public land acquisition will total about 1.5 acres, with acreage split evenly between the sewer and drainage pump facilities. As detailed in Table 3-1, the public land acquisition cost totals approximately $675,000 and will be funded entirely out of the proposed ASI Public Land Acquisition DA Fee.

Backbone Infrastructure and Public
Facilities Financing Strategy
This chapter outlines the Project’s financing strategy and describes how a combination of funding sources will be used to fund the backbone infrastructure and other public facilities required to serve the Project.
Financing Strategy and Funding Sources
Overview
The backbone infrastructure and public facilities required to serve development in the Project will be funded using a combination of public and private funding sources. In addition, Project developers will fund specific plan entitlement costs through a proposed plan area fee program. Specific requirements for developer construction of backbone infrastructure and public facilities are defined in tentative map conditions and Development Agreement (DA) requirements.
Backbone Infrastructure
Initially, developers will construct and privately finance the construction costs for most of the backbone infrastructure (roads, sewer, water, drainage) needed at the outset of development. For improvements that the developer constructs and pays the upfront costs to construct, the developers may receive credits or reimbursements from the appropriate existing or new fee programs (including the proposed ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program discussed in this chapter) depending on credit/reimbursement eligibility and policy requirements of the appropriate agency. In addition, the financing strategy includes formation of one or more land-secured bond financing districts (e.g., Mello-Roos CFD or Assessment District), which may fund a portion of the total backbone infrastructure and public facilities needed at the outset of development.
Public Facilities
For the public facilities identified in the Finance Plan, the Project developers will pay applicable existing and new development impact fees. The proposed ASI Public Land Acquisition DA Fee will fund the ASI acquisition of public land required for sewer and drainage pump stations.
Airport South Industrial Finance Plan

Detailed Sources of Funding
The following sections detail the existing and proposed sources identified to fund Project Facilities:
• Existing City and Other Agency Fee Programs.
• Proposed ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program.
• Proposed ASI Public Land Acquisition DA Fee Program.
• Proposed ASI Specific Plan Reimbursement DA Fee Program. • Other Funding Sources.
Existing City and Other Agency Fee Programs
Specific building projects will be subject to all applicable City and other agency development impact fees in place at the time of acceptance of the building permit application. Revenues generated by certain specific fee programs will be available to directly fund backbone infrastructure and public facilities identified in this Finance Plan. Fee program revenues generated by the following fee programs may be available to partially or fully fund Facilities required for Project development and therefore are included in the Finance Plan and estimated in Table B-1 in Appendix B:
• Citywide Park Impact Fee.
• Citywide Water System Development Fee.
• SacSewer Development Impact Fee.
• NUSD School Mitigation Fee.
The sections below offer additional detail regarding fee programs that may provide partial or full funding for backbone infrastructure and public facilities.

In February 2017, the City adopted an update to the citywide Park Impact Fee (PIF). All new residential and nonresidential development in the City is subject to the PIF, which funds park improvements in the Community Plan Area in which a project is located. In addition, the updated PIF includes a fee component that funds citywide park facilities (e.g., regional parks, community centers, aquatic centers, etc.). This Finance Plan is based on the assumption that ASI development will fulfill all park improvement obligations through payment of the PIF. The PIF is estimated to fund $1.3 million in park improvements, consisting of approximately $991,000 for neighborhood and community parks and $295,000 for citywide parks.

Citywide Water System Development Fee
The City charges a citywide fee on all new connections to the water system to fund water treatment and transmission facilities to provide water to customers in the City. Future coordination with DOU and the City Manager’s office will determine whether City water development fees will fund up to $1.8 million (for conversion of a County transmission main to a City transmission main) of the $5.7 million total backbone water infrastructure costs. The $1.8 million cost is currently excluded from City water development fee reimbursements and credits and has been placed as a Project-wide ASI backbone infrastructure cost.
SacSewer Development Impact Fee
SacSewer levies a development impact fee to fund sewer capacity, infrastructure, and associated costs. Approximately $12.5 million of the $16.8 million total backbone sewer infrastructure cost is anticipated to be funded by SacSewer impact fees, which may take the form of impact fee credits and reimbursements for developer-constructed infrastructure.
NUSD School Mitigation Fees
State law allows school districts to impose fees on new residential and nonresidential development. The Project pays the current NUSD school development fees for nonresidential development, which will satisfy ASI’s funding obligation for school facilities. NUSD school mitigation fees are estimated to fund $4.5 million of school facilities.
Other Existing Development Impact Fee Programs and Charges The Project will be subject to other City, County, and Other Agency development impact fee programs that are not anticipated to fund Project-related backbone infrastructure and public facilities. These fees and projected fee revenue are identified in Table B-1 in Appendix B.
Proposed ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program
The proposed ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program will help fund backbone infrastructure costs that are not funded by existing fee programs or other identified funding sources. This Finance Plan proposes adoption of a new plan area development impact fee program, the ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program, that will fund backbone infrastructure and public facilities needed to serve the Project after taking into consideration a variety of other funding sources for the improvements. It is proposed that this fee program establish a fee per net acre across all development types. The fee would be established as part of the Development Agreement and would not be established in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act.

Table 4-1 shows the estimated cost and proposed ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA fee per net developable acre by improvement type and in total across all improvement types. The ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program would include a three percent fee program administration component. The total proposed ASI fee is estimated at $142,777 per net developable acre.
Proposed ASI Public Land Acquisition DA Fee Program
It is proposed that an ASI Public Land Acquisition DA Fee Program be established to fund the acquisition of land required for public facilities. Currently, land acquisition is only needed for sewer and drainage pumping stations. It is proposed that the ASI Public Land Acquisition DA Fee be a fee per net acre across all development types.
The fee would be established as part of the Development Agreement and would not be established in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act.
Table 3-1 in the previous chapter shows the public land acreage requirement, the approximate land value per acre, the total estimated public land cost, and the resulting estimated fee per net developable acre. Note that the value per acre includes the land acquisition cost, a three percent administration component, and a five percent contingency. The total Public Land Acquisition DA Fee is estimated at $2,167 per net developable acre.
Proposed ASI Specific Plan Reimbursement DA Fee Program Summary
Certain property owners have been funding the entitlement costs for the Project, including all City staff and consultant costs incurred in the review and consideration of the Specific Plan, Environmental Impact Report (EIR), infrastructure plans, financing plans for infrastructure and urban services, and other technical studies, as well as agreements and plans prepared by consultants in support of the Specific Plan. It is proposed that an ASI Specific Plan Reimbursement DA Fee be established to fund these entitlement costs that have been incurred and are projected to be incurred in the future and that the fee be assessed per net acre across all development types. The fee would be established as part of the Development Agreement and would not be established in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act.
Table 4-2 shows the estimated current and projected entitlement costs and the proposed ASI Specific Plan Reimbursement DA Fee per net developable acre. The Specific Plan Reimbursement DA Fee Program would include a three percent fee program administration component. The total proposed fee is estimated at $12,376 per net developable acre.

Entitlement Costs
Project entitlement costs generally incurred may be organized into the following categories:
• Engineering
• Transportation/Air Quality
• Planning
• EIR Consultant
• Wetlands/Biology
• Government Review/Processing
• Project/Management
• Legal
• Public Outreach
• Finance
• Schools
• Other Technical Studies
Through the DA, the applicant and City will determine the terms for implementing the ASI Specific Plan Reimbursement DA Fee, which would include the annual adjustment factor.
Other Funding Sources
Other funding sources anticipated to fund a portion of required backbone infrastructure include reimbursements from private developer funding and other adjacent development projects.
Private Developer Funding
Private developers will be responsible for funding in-tract or other project improvements that benefit individual development projects. For example, private developers will have sole responsibility for funding and constructing in-tract infrastructure. These facilities will generally consist of parcel specific circulation connections, landscaping, sewer connections, domestic and fire water facilities, drainage detention and conveyance.
Other Development Projects
The Project will participate in funding of facilities whose benefit is shared by other neighboring development projects. Specifically, certain roadway improvements funded by ASI ultimately will benefit the Metro Air Park project (MAP) to the north of ASI. It is anticipated that MAP will reimburse ASI for MAP’s fair share of those costs through MAP’s plan area fee program. Funding for these shared roadway improvements, and coordination between the City and Sacramento County, is further detailed in Chapter 3.
Airport South Industrial Finance Plan

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 27
Tables 1-3 and 1-4 in Chapter 1 show the future reimbursements anticipated for ASI’s construction or funding of infrastructure that also benefits future development in MAP. Note that the ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program includes the MAP cost obligation of the road facilities. In the event that MAP reimburses ASI, the reimbursement would be made to the ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program.
The reimbursement mechanisms will be further identified between ASI and other County Projects (Metro Air Park and WattEV). It is anticipated that coordination with Sacramento County will be completed during the processing of Project entitlements. This process may occur concurrently with or following the adoption of the Finance Plan. If it follows the Finance Plan adoption, any detail on reimbursement mechanisms will be included in an update to the Finance Plan to be approved by the City Council and referenced in the Development Agreement.
Land -Secured Financing
This Finance Plan includes the potential use of land-secured financing for a portion of Backbone Infrastructure and Public Facilities costs. Although this Finance Plan identifies sources of funding for all the included backbone infrastructure and public facilities, major facility oversizing and substantial up-front capital outlays may be required for certain projects. Land-secured financing, in the form of either a Mello-Roos CFD or an Assessment District, may be used to provide debt financing for some of these oversized Facilities:
• Mello-Roos CFD. The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 enables public agencies to form CFDs and levy a special tax on property owners in those CFDs. These special taxes may be used to pay debt service on CFD bonds or to finance public improvements directly on a pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) basis.
• Assessment Districts. California statutes give local governments the authority to levy several special assessments for specific public improvements such as streets, storm drains, sewers, streetlights, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. The agency creates a special Assessment District that defines both the area to benefit from the improvements and the properties that will pay for the improvements.
A CFD is the most likely form of land-secured financing to be used to mitigate up- front costs of construction or acquisition of backbone infrastructure and public facilities in the Project, and it is anticipated that Project developers may request that the City form a CFD on all or a portion of the Project.
Airport South Industrial Finance Plan

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 28
The proceeds from a CFD bond sale can be used for direct funding of improvements, to acquire facilities constructed by the developer, to reimburse developers for advance-funding improvements, or to pay certain development fees. The annual special tax can be used toward bond debt service or to build or reimburse for infrastructure as needed. The proceeds of the Mello-Roos special tax can be used for direct funding of facilities or to service bond debt.
Tables 4-3 and 4-4 show preliminary estimates of the annual maximum special tax revenue and Mello-Roos CFD bonding capacity of the Project, based on assumptions regarding maximum special tax rates, reserve fund requirements, and interest rates. Based on current assumptions, which are estimates for purposes of example in this document, the Project is estimated to have capacity to bond for approximately $33.8 million, of which $28.4 million could be available to fund Project infrastructure costs. Actual tax rates and related bond capacity will be established at the time of formation of the CFD.
Phasing and the Financing Strategy
Phasing of backbone infrastructure and public facilities construction is an important component of the overall financing strategy. The ability to sequence facilities will depend on the type of facility and the pace of new development.
When possible, construction of facilities will be sequenced over time as needed to serve new development. The sequencing of facilities costs will help ensure that adequate monies are available from the various financing sources to fund the public facility improvements.
Completion of backbone infrastructure and public facilities will be phased to serve logical increments of development, based on the demand for such facilities as the Project builds out. The timing and amount of development in each increment will depend on many factors, such as market demand. In the normal course of the development approval process, the City will condition the Project’s tentative maps with backbone infrastructure and other public facility requirements.
The Finance Plan is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate faster or slower growth of Project development in response to the market for housing and nonresidential development.
The developers of the Project will be responsible for advance funding and constructing all of the backbone infrastructure and public facilities needed to serve the Project, unless the City and Project proponents agree otherwise to City construction of specific improvements. Although there are currently no planned City-constructed improvements, such improvements could include interchange facilities or other fee creditable items such as water transmission facilities and parks if agreed to in the future by the City.

Subject to the City’s fee credit and reimbursement policies, some or all of the private developer funding of backbone infrastructure and public facilities will be reimbursed to the landowners/developers over time as the City is able to issue public debt through the CFD, issue credits due for landowner/developer proportionate share of fees, and collect fees from other developers that will provide reimbursements. The timeframe for reimbursement is unknown and could be a considerable period of time depending on market conditions and the actual absorption of the development projects. There is no guarantee the initial developers will be fully reimbursed for the costs to oversize facilities for later development projects.

Feasibility of the Finance Plan
This chapter reviews issues associated to the overall financial feasibility of the Finance Plan. The financial feasibility is addressed by reviewing a total infrastructure burden analysis, as well as bond issuance guidelines, to ensure the Project’s total infrastructure cost burden for each developable land use category is at an acceptable level that will allow Project development to proceed. The financial feasibility is assessed by estimating the Project’s total infrastructure and property tax burdens and comparing these amounts to the amounts for the neighboring MAP project.
Description of Static Feasibility
Analyses
This analysis includes the following static methods for evaluating the financial feasibility of the proposed Project:
• Total Backbone Infrastructure and Public Facilities Cost Burden. • Total Taxes and Assessments as a Percentage of Sales Price.
Each of these methods is based on a static financial feasibility evaluation. To be considered financially feasible, the Project should have a similar cost burden and property tax level as other comparable projects in the region. For the purposes of this Finance Plan, a comparison is made to warehouse development in the neighboring MAP project.
It is important to note that these feasibility metrics, described in detail below, should be considered initial diagnostics, offering a general indicator of whether or not a project is likely to meet financial feasibility criteria or whether measures should be taken to improve viability, either through a reduction in cost burdens, identification of other funding sources, or other approaches. None of the indicators, by themselves, should be considered absolute determinations regarding Project feasibility.

Total Backbone Infrastructure and
Public Facilities Cost Burden
The purpose of estimating the total backbone infrastructure and public facilities cost burden is to assess the financial feasibility of the Project, given all current and proposed fees and the additional burden of Project-specific infrastructure costs. The total backbone infrastructure and public facilities cost burden provides a performance indicator of a project’s feasibility.
A relatively high infrastructure cost burden does not necessarily indicate the project is infeasible. In certain circumstances, there are ways in which a development project can mitigate against a high cost burden. In addition, the backbone infrastructure and public facilities costs will be fine-tuned and possibly reduced as engineering studies are completed closer to actual construction.
The total infrastructure cost burden per 1,000 building square feet for each developable ASI land use is shown in Table 5-1. This table includes the total cost burden as well as the cost burden net of potential CFD bond proceeds. CFD bond proceeds could be used to fund certain infrastructure currently included in the ASI Backbone Infrastructure DA Fee Program, in which case the overall fee burden could be reduced accordingly. Appendix B contains a total fee revenue estimate at buildout of the Project. The total fee revenues are estimated by multiplying the fees by the development at buildout and summing across all fees.
Cost Burden Comparison with Metro Air Park
As one test of the financial feasibility of ASI, the estimated cost burden for warehouse development is compared to the estimated cost burden for warehouse development in MAP. Table 5-2 summarizes the comparison. For the purposes of the comparison, ASI warehouse development is compared to a recently constructed 240,000 square foot building in MAP, and it is assumed that the ASI development would have the same number of acres and building square feet as the MAP building. Note that these assumptions for the purposes of the comparison result in some different fees than those in Table 5-1.
Appendix C provides the detailed comparison, including estimates of all of the fees and CFD bond proceeds for each area. Note that MAP is located in unincorporated Sacramento County, whereas ASI will annex into the City, so a number of the required fees differ. The two areas also will have different Plan Area fees and CFD special taxes.
