WHEREAS, on October 17, 2017, Kylli, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary Innovation Commons Owner, LLC (“Owner”) made an application for a General Plan Amendment (“GPA”) in connection with the redevelopment of a 48.6-acre site generally bounded by Tasman Drive, Patrick Henry Drive, Old Ironsides Drive, and the SFPUC Hetchy Hetchy Right of Way (APNs: 104-04-150, 104-04-142, 104-04-143, 104-04-151, 104-04-112, 104-04-113, 104-04-065, 104-04-111, 104-04- 064), which is currently developed with four light industrial buildings and a parking lot (“Project Site”);
WHEREAS, the Owner subsequently applied for a Planned Development (“PD”) Rezoning to redevelop the 48.6 acre site with up to 4,913,000 gross square feet of new development, including up to 1,800 units (approximately 1.8 million square feet of residential uses), up to 3 million square feet of office/research-and-development (“R&D”), approximately 100,000 square feet of retail, and approximately 10,000 square feet of childcare facilities; a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide the property into five lots with up to three parcels for future parkland dedication and potential residential and commercial condominium purposes and to vacate Democracy Way; and a Development Agreement (collectively, along with the GPA, the “Project”), as shown on the Exhibit “PD Development Plans,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; WHEREAS, a rezone of the property to PD is required to allow creative development standards for site and building design, that are not otherwise allowed in standard zoning districts, to construct the proposed mixed-use development;
WHEREAS, in conformance with CEQA, the Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) prepared for the Resolution/Mission Point Project Rezone, Option B Page 2 of 5 Rev: 7/27/2023
Project was noticed and circulated for a 45-day public review period from November 17, 2023 to January 2, 2024;
WHEREAS, in addition to the Project, the EIR studied the Reduced Office/Increased Housing Alternative, which assumed the development of 800 multi-family housing units in Area C (for a total of up to 2,600 housing units for the entire Project) instead of approximately 789,000 gsf of office/R&D space, but otherwise maintained all other land use and developments assumptions of the Project.
WHEREAS, the City prepared a Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”), including Attachment 3 to the FEIR analyzing the Office/R&D – Residential Flex option for the Planned Development zoning, which would permit development of up to 800 additional residential units in Area C (for a total of 2,600 units for the Project), or a mix of residential and office/R&D uses in Area C, with a corresponding reduction in square footage of office/R&D uses and a proportional increase in deedrestricted affordable residential units in Area C (“Revised Project”), as shown in Exhibit “PD Development Plans: Revised Project” to Resolution No. ______; WHEREAS, on November 6, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed rezone, at the conclusion of which, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval to the City Council;WHEREAS, on November 7, 2024, notices of the November 19, 2024 public hearing were mailed to all property owners within one quarter-mile of the Project Site, according to the most recent assessor’s roll; WHEREAS, on November 6, 2024, notice of the November 19, 2024 public hearing was published in the Santa Clara Weekly, a newspaper of general circulation for the City; WHEREAS, on November 19, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing to consider the proposed rezoning and related applications, at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to provide testimony and the Council considered the information presented in the Staff Report, and all verbal and written evidence.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA AS FOLLOWS:
-
Resolution/Mission Point Project Rezone, Option B Page 3 of 5 Rev: 7/27/2023
1. That the City Council hereby finds that the above Recitals are true and correct and by this reference makes them a part hereof.
2. That the City Council hereby rezones the Project Site from High-Intensity Office/Research and Development (“HO-RD”) to Planned Development (“PD”) to allow the development of the Revised Project, as shown on the attached PD Development Plans for the Revised Project and conditioned as specified in the attached Conditions of Rezoning Approval, incorporated herein by this reference.
3. Pursuant to SCCC Section 18.142.040, the City Council determines that the following findings exist in support of the rezoning:
A. The existing zoning is inappropriate or inequitable, in that the existing zoning for the Project Site does not allow for mixed-use development. A PD zoning of the Project Site to allow mixed-use development would implement the General Plan’s Land Use and Housing goals and policies to provide housing in proximity to existing residential, neighborhood and community commercial uses, support services, local and regional transit facilities, outdoor open space and recreation areas.
B. The proposed zone change will conserve property values, protect or improve the existing character and stability of the area in question, and will promote the orderly and beneficial development of such area, in that the Project would redevelop underutilized industrial parcels to provide housing and commercial opportunities for the north Santa Clara Area, which support the City’s Housing Goals and assist the City in achieving Regional Housing Needs Allocation (“RHNA”) targets for production of affordable housing units as mandated by the State, and in accordance with the City’s Affordable Housing ordinance.
C. The proposed zone change is required by public necessity, public convenience, or the general welfare of the City in that the proposed zone change would allow for high density mixeduse development, public parkland, private open space, and community use. Construction of the Revised Project would contribute to the City’s housing inventory and would assist in production of Resolution/Mission Point Project Rezone, Option B Page 4 of 5 Rev: 7/27/2023
housing units to achieve RHNA targets as mandated by the State.
D. The proposed zone change would allow imaginative planning and design concepts to be utilized that would otherwise be restricted in other zoning districts, in that the proposed zone change would allow flexibility in the development standards such as increased building height and reduced building setbacks, in order to provide high density uses with private and rooftop common open space, and also provide community uses.
4. That based on the findings set forth in this resolution and the evidence in the City Staff Report, EIR and MMRP, the City Council hereby rezones the Project Site to allow redevelopment of the 48.6 acre site with up to 4,913,000 gross square feet of new development, including up to 2,600 units (up to 1,800 units in area D, approximately 1.8 million square feet of residential uses), and up to 800 units in Area C with corresponding reduction in office/R&D uses in Area C), up to three million square feet of office/research-and-development (R&D), approximately 100,000 square feet of retail, and approximately 10,000 square feet of childcare facilities, as shown on the attached PD Development Plans for the Revised Project and conditioned as specified in the attached Conditions of Rezoning Approval for the Revised Project.
5. Effective date. This resolution shall become effective immediately.
I HEREBY CERTIFY THE FOREGOING TO BE A TRUE COPY OF A RESOLUTION PASSED

APPROVING A REZONING FROM HIGH-INTENSITY
OFFICE/RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (HO-RD) TO
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) TO ALLOW A MIXED-USE
DEVELOPMENT, OPTION B, PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION LOCATED AT 4995 PATRICK HENRY

PLN2018-13400 (Rezone)
WHEREAS, on October 17, 2017, Kylli, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary Innovation Commons Owner, LLC (“Owner”) made an application for a General Plan Amendment (“GPA”) in connection with the redevelopment of a 48.6-acre site generally bounded by Tasman Drive, Patrick Henry Drive, Old Ironsides Drive, and the SFPUC Hetchy Hetchy Right of Way (APNs: 104-04-150, 104-04-142, 104-04-143, 104-04-151, 104-04-112, 104-04-113, 104-04-065, 104-04-111, 104-04- 064), which is currently developed with four light industrial buildings and a parking lot (“Project Site”);
WHEREAS, the Owner subsequently applied for a Planned Development (“PD”) Rezoning to redevelop the 48.6 acre site with up to 4,913,000 gross square feet of new development, including up to 1,800 units (approximately 1.8 million square feet of residential uses), up to 3 million square feet of office/research-and-development (“R&D”), approximately 100,000 square feet of retail, and approximately 10,000 square feet of childcare facilities; a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide the property into five lots with up to three parcels for future parkland dedication and potential residential and commercial condominium purposes and to vacate Democracy Way; and a Development Agreement (collectively, along with the GPA, the “Project”), as shown on the Exhibit “PD Development Plans,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; WHEREAS, a rezone of the property to PD is required to allow creative development standards for site and building design, that are not otherwise allowed in standard zoning districts, to construct the proposed mixed-use development;
WHEREAS, in conformance with CEQA, the Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) prepared for the Resolution/Mission Point Project Rezone, Option B, Planning Commission Recommendation Page 2 of 5 Rev: 7/27/2023
Project was noticed and circulated for a 45-day public review period from November 17, 2023 to January 2, 2024;
WHEREAS, in addition to the Project, the EIR studied the Reduced Office/Increased Housing Alternative, which assumed the development of 800 multi-family housing units in Area C (for a total of up to 2,600 housing units for the entire Project) instead of approximately 789,000 gsf of office/R&D space, but otherwise maintained all other land use and developments assumptions of the Project.
WHEREAS, the City prepared a Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”), including Attachment 3 to the FEIR analyzing the Office/R&D – Residential Flex option for the Planned Development zoning, which would permit development of up to 800 additional residential units in Area C (for a total of 2,600 units for the Project), or a mix of residential and office/R&D uses in Area C, with a corresponding reduction in square footage of office/R&D uses and a proportional increase in deedrestricted affordable residential units in Area C (“Revised Project”), as shown in Exhibit “PD Development Plans: Revised Project” to Resolution No. ______; WHEREAS, on November 6, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed rezone, at the conclusion of which, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval to the City Council;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission’s vote included adding the following condition to the Rezone Conditions of Approval:
The City encourages the Owner and any contractors or subcontractors working on the project to evaluate hiring local labor, hiring from or contributing to approved, accredited apprenticeship programs, increasing resources for labor compliance, and providing living wages during the development of this Project.
WHEREAS, on November 7, 2024, notices of the November 19, 2024 public hearing were mailed to all property owners within one quarter-mile of the Project Site, according to the most recent assessor’s roll;
-
Resolution/Mission Point Project Rezone, Option B, Planning Commission Recommendation Page 3 of 5 Rev: 7/27/2023
WHEREAS, on November 6, 2024, notice of the November 19, 2024 public hearing was published in the Santa Clara Weekly, a newspaper of general circulation for the City; WHEREAS, on November 19, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing to consider the proposed rezoning and related applications, at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to provide testimony and the Council considered the information presented in the Staff Report, and all verbal and written evidence.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the City Council hereby finds that the above Recitals are true and correct and by this reference makes them a part hereof.
2. That the City Council hereby rezones the Project Site from High-Intensity Office/Research and Development (“HO-RD”) to Planned Development (“PD”) to allow the development of the Revised Project, as shown on the attached PD Development Plans for the Revised Project and conditioned as specified in the attached Conditions of Rezoning Approval, incorporated herein by this reference.
3. Pursuant to SCCC Section 18.142.040, the City Council determines that the following findings exist in support of the rezoning:
A. The existing zoning is inappropriate or inequitable, in that the existing zoning for the Project Site does not allow for mixed-use development. A PD zoning of the Project Site to allow mixed-use development would implement the General Plan’s Land Use and Housing goals and policies to provide housing in proximity to existing residential, neighborhood and community commercial uses, support services, local and regional transit facilities, outdoor open space and recreation areas.
B. The proposed zone change will conserve property values, protect or improve the existing character and stability of the area in question, and will promote the orderly and beneficial development of such area, in that the Project would redevelop underutilized industrial parcels to provide housing and commercial opportunities for the north Santa Clara Area, which support the Resolution/Mission Point Project Rezone, Option B, Planning Commission Recommendation Page 4 of 5 Rev: 7/27/2023
City’s Housing Goals and assist the City in achieving Regional Housing Needs Allocation (“RHNA”) targets for production of affordable housing units as mandated by the State, and in accordance with the City’s Affordable Housing ordinance.
C. The proposed zone change is required by public necessity, public convenience, or the general welfare of the City in that the proposed zone change would allow for high density mixeduse development, public parkland, private open space, and community use. Construction of the Revised Project would contribute to the City’s housing inventory and would assist in production of housing units to achieve RHNA targets as mandated by the State.
D. The proposed zone change would allow imaginative planning and design concepts to be utilized that would otherwise be restricted in other zoning districts, in that the proposed zone change would allow flexibility in the development standards such as increased building height and reduced building setbacks, in order to provide high density uses with private and rooftop common open space, and also provide community uses.
4. That based on the findings set forth in this resolution and the evidence in the City Staff Report, EIR and MMRP, the City Council hereby rezones the Project Site to allow redevelopment of the 48.6 acre site with up to 4,913,000 gross square feet of new development, including up to 2,600 units (up to 1,800 units in area D, approximately 1.8 million square feet of residential uses), and up to 800 units in Area C with corresponding reduction in office/R&D uses in Area C), up to three million square feet of office/research-and-development (R&D), approximately 100,000 square feet of retail, and approximately 10,000 square feet of childcare facilities, as shown on the attached PD Development Plans for the Revised Project and conditioned as specified in the attached Conditions of Rezoning Approval for the Revised Project.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
DESIGN / PERFORMANCE—PRIOR TO BUILDING PERMIT ISSUANCE
F1. Hazmat Clearance. Prior to any Building Permit issuance, Hazardous Materials Closure (HMCP) is required as applicable: This is a permit is issued by the Santa Clara Fire Department, Fire Prevention & Hazardous Materials Division. Hazardous materials closure plans are required for businesses that used, handled or stored hazardous materials. While required prior to closing a business this is not always done by the business owner, and therefore should be part of the developer’s due diligence. The hazardous materials closure plans demonstrate that hazardous materials which were stored, dispensed, handled or used in the facility/business are safely transported, disposed of or reused in a manner that eliminates any threat to public health and environment.
F2. Hazmat Clearance. Prior to any Building Permit Issuance, a Phase II environmental assessment is required to be submitted to CRRD for review. If hazards are present that require site mitigation, cleanup, or management of chemical contaminants in soil, soil vapor, or groundwater a separate permit from one of the regulatory agencies below will be required. The type and extent of contamination on site(s) will govern which of the regulatory agencies noted below can supervise the cleanup: Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC); State Water Resources Control Board; or Santa Clara County, Department of Environmental Health.
If the project intends to contract with a State or County Agency for onsite/offsite environmental remediation activities the following documentation shall be provided to the Fire Prevention & Hazardous Materials Division prior to issuance of a Building Permit for demolition or grading: Oversight agency case number; and Oversight mangers contact name, phone number.
Conditions of Approval PLN2018-13400 / 4995 Patrick Henry Drive and 3005 Democracy Way CC Date: November 19, 2024 Page 7
For smaller projects that are not moving soil at all, a Phase I environmental assessment may be adequate. Please contact Assistant Fire Marshal Fred Chun at [email protected] for more information.
F3. Fire Flow Requirement. Prior to Building Permit Issuance, provide documentation from the City of Santa Clara Water & Sewer Department that the minimum required fire-flow can be met. Fire Department fire-flow will be based on the current California Fire Code and local ordinance. The most restrictive departments requirement shall apply.
F4. Fire Hydrants. Prior to Building Permit Issuance, building plans shall show the required number, location and distribution of fire hydrants for the buildings will be based on the current California Fire Code, Appendix C as amended. The required number of fire hydrants will be based on the fire-flow before the reduction for fire sprinklers. Both public and private fire hydrants may be required.
F5. Fire Department Access. Prior to Building Permit Issuance, a five-foot all-weather perimeter pathway around the entire perimeter of the buildings to facilitate firefighter access is required to be incorporated into the Building permit submittal.
F6. Fire Department Access. Prior to the issuance of the Building Permit, approval for fire department apparatus access roads is required. Roadways must be provided to comply with all the following requirements:
F7. Fire apparatus access roadways shall be provided so that the exterior walls of the first story of the buildings are located not more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an approved route around the exterior of each building. In addition, aerial apparatus roadways must be located so aerial apparatus will have clear access to the “entire” face/sides of the building. The minimum number of sides is project-specific and depends on the building configuration, building design, occupancy, and construction type, etc. As part of Building Permit Issuance, an alternative materials, design, and methods of construction and equipment permit application will need to be submitted for review and approval incorporating applicable mitigation measures as determined by the fire department for the lack of compliance. Please note acceptable mitigation methods may have been discussed during the planning stage. Those mitigations are not guaranteed until a formal alternate means permit is submitted concurrently with the Building Plans.
Conversely, an acceptable mitigation method may not have been discussed and will be evaluated under an alternate means permit at the building permit stage. • For underpasses, garages, gates, or anything similar that a Fire apparatus is required to drive under as part of the emergency vehicle access, 16 feet vertical clearance will be required.

2. Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Findings. Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 66426 and 66428 and SCCC Section 17.05.300(h), the City Council finds and determines that:
A. The Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the City’s General Plan in that the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map subdivides the existing 48.6-Acre Project Site into five lots, with up to three parcels for future parkland dedication and condominium purposes, subject to conditions set forth in the Conditions of Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Approval.
B. The design and improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the City’s General Plan, in that the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map facilitates the redevelopment of underutilized industrial parcels to provide housing and commercial opportunities for the north Santa Clara Area, which support the City’s Housing Goals and assist the City in achieving Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) targets for production of affordable housing units as mandated by the State, and in accordance with Affordable Housing ordinance.
C. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, in that the Project is compatible with the existing adjacent office, regional commercial, and light industrial uses and planned residential uses.
D. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, in that the Project Site is located in an urbanized area and is served by existing utilities and infrastructure.
Resolution/*insert general purpose Page 4 of 5
Rev: 7/27/2023
E. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements are not likely to cause serious health problems, in that the proposed residential subdivision will implement Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for operation and maintenance of the building and site improvements and does not propose the use of hazardous materials.
F. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and will not substantially or unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat in that the Project Site is located in an urbanized setting, is a developed site, and the proposed subdivision includes mitigation measures, as identified in the Mission Point Project EIR.
Although the EIR identified significant unavoidable environmental impacts in the resource areas of air quality and noise, the City Council made findings pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081 that there exist certain overriding economic, social and other considerations for approving the Project that justify the occurrence of those impacts.
G. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large or use of property within the proposed subdivision in that it is designed to avoid encroachment and conflicts with public easements in the site design.
H. The Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for the Project provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities, in that it would allow flexibility in the development standards to maximize the benefits of green building standards for site and building design.
3. Based on the findings set forth in this Resolution and the evidence in the Staff Report and such other evidence as received at the public hearings on this matter before the City Council, the City Council hereby approves the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for the Project, substantially in the form on file as shown on the attached Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for the Project and Conditions of Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Approval for the Project, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

2.5 Permitted Uses. The permitted uses for the Property and the Project include the following, all as more particularly described in the Development Plan and all of which must be implemented in accordance with the Approvals and the COAs, and MMRP. The number of residential units and amount of square footage for each use are subject to the Minor Change process as set forth in Section 11.2(b):
a. Up to 1,800 residential units and related amenity space; b. Up to 3 million gross square feet (“gsf”) of office/R&D and related amenity space;
c. Approximately 100,000 gsf of neighborhood retail uses; and d. Approximately 10,000 gsf of childcare facilities.
2.6 Present Right to Develop. Subject to Developer’s fulfillment of the provisions of this Agreement, including the Development Plan and COAs, the City hereby grants to Developer the present vested right to develop and construct on the Property all the improvements authorized by, and in accordance with, this Agreement and the Vested Elements. To the extent permitted by law, no future modification (including by lateradopted initiative and/or referendum) of the City’s General Plan, SCCC, ordinances, policies or regulations that purport to (i) limit the rate or timing of development, size of buildings or other improvements (including developable square footage), or amount of development of the portions of the Project to be built; or (ii) impose fees, exactions or conditions upon development, occupancy or use of the Property other than as provided in the Project Approvals and the COAs and MMRP, or pursuant to this Agreement, shall apply to the Property; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude City from adopting any fees or land use regulations or amendments thereto, expressly permitted herein.
2.7 Timing of Improvements; No Moratoria. Subject to the Project Approvals and this Agreement, Developer shall have the right to develop the Project at such time as Developer deems appropriate subject to Section 2.3 and this Section 2.7 within the exercise of its subjective business judgment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that presently the Developers cannot predict the timing of the Project. Therefore, the Developers have no obligation to develop or construct all or any component of the Project. The timing, sequencing, and phasing of the Project is solely the right and responsibility of Developers in the exercise of their business judgment so long as it is consistent with the Vested Rights and the MMRP. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal.3d 465 that failure of the Parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over the Parties' agreement, it is the Parties' intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that the Developers shall have the right to develop the Property in such order, at such rate, and at such times as Developers deem appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment and the provisions of this Agreement. No annual (or other) limit, moratoria, or DRAFT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Development Agreement/Mission Point Page 9 of 34
Rev. 06/28/2024 9/4/24
other limitation upon the number of, or pacing of, buildings which may be constructed, or Building Permits which may be obtained, or the like shall apply to the Project.
2.8 Agreement and Comprehensive Plan for Development. The Parties acknowledge that, except as specifically set forth herein, the Project Approvals, the MMRP, and COAs set forth a comprehensive schedule of all development terms and conditions, development mitigation measures and fees, special assessments, special taxes, exactions, fees in-lieu, charges and dedications required in the public interest to be contributed, paid or constructed due to development of the Project on the Property. All fees referred to herein, may be subject to an annual increase until paid, but only if such increase is applied equally to similarly situated projects on a City-wide or area-wide basis, and any such annual increase shall be limited in the manner specified in Section 3.
2.9 Design of On-Site and Off-Site Improvements. Development of the Property shall be subject to Architectural Review Process by City pursuant to the policies, regulations and ordinances, including Article 6 of the City Zoning Code entitled “Permit Processing Procedures”, in effect as of the Effective Date, and subject to the Vested Elements, the MMRP, and this Agreement. No such Architectural Review shall, without Developer’s consent, require development of the Property inconsistent with the Vested Elements, or MMRP unless City determines it is necessary to protect against conditions which create a substantial adverse risk to the physical health or safety of residents or users of the Project or the affected surrounding region. The Vested Elements and the MMRP, and all improvement plans prepared in accordance thereof, shall govern the design and scope of all on-site and off-site improvements benefiting or to be constructed on the Property. In no event shall Architectural Review approval by City be conditioned on or require any change in the Vested Elements or the MMRP, without Developer’s consent.
2.10 Development of the Site. In consideration for the City entering into this Agreement, Developer agrees to perform all of its obligations contained in this Agreement in the time and manner set out in this Agreement, the MMRP, the COAs and the Project Approvals.
2.11 Integrated Development. City and Developer acknowledge that the Project is, and shall be considered, an integrated development. It is thus the intention of the Parties that, if construction on one component of the Project is commenced, any additional development of the Property will adhere to this Agreement and the Project Approvals.
However, nothing in this Agreement is intended: (i) to prevent Developer from individually commencing and completing development of any portion of the Project, even if development on other portions thereof has not been commenced and/or completed; (ii) to prevent Developer from independently marketing, selling, renting and/or occupying all, or any portion of, such developed space, pursuant to Section 12, provided that all current obligations under this Agreement and the Development Plan and all infrastructure requirements for the existing developed space have been met; and (iii) to require Developer to develop any portion of the Project (even if development on another portion of the Project has been commenced and/or completed).
2.12 Building Standards. Developer hereby agrees to employ all reasonable efforts such that the Project will be built to LEED Neighborhood Development Silver or equivalent DRAFT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Development Agreement/Mission Point Page 10 of 34
Rev. 06/28/2024 9/4/24
standards, LEED CS Gold or equivalent standards for commercial buildings and LEED NC Silver for residential buildings, all as described in more detail in the Project Approvals.
3. EFFECT OF AGREEMENT
3.1 Subsequent State or Federal Laws or Regulations. As provided in California Government Code section 65869.5, this Agreement shall not preclude the application to the Project of changes in laws, regulations, plans or policies, to the extent that such changes are required by changes in county, regional, State or federal laws or regulations (“Changes in the Law”). In the event Changes in the Law prevent or preclude compliance with one or more material provisions of this Agreement, Developer may request that such material provisions be modified or suspended, or performance delayed, as may be necessary to comply with Changes in the Law, and City may take such action as it deems necessary to be consistent with the intent of this Agreement.
3.2 Changes to Existing Regulations. Except as otherwise specifically provided, only the following changes to the Vested Elements, including such changes adopted by the electorate through the powers of initiative, or otherwise, shall apply to the development of the Property:
a. Subject to Section 3 herein, Citywide regulations, ordinances, policies, programs, resolutions or fees adopted after the Effective Date that are not in conflict with the Vested Elements and the terms and conditions for development of the Property established by this Agreement, or otherwise applicable regulations existing as of the Effective Date. Changes to the General Plan, SCCC or other regulations shall be deemed to conflict with the approvals and this Agreement (“Conflicting City Law”) if such changes prevent development of the Property in substantial accordance with the Approvals; require significant changes in the development of the Property from what is contemplated by the Approvals; significantly delay, ration or impose a moratorium on development of the Property; or require the issuance of discretionary or nondiscretionary permits or approvals by the City other than those required as of the Effective Date. A fee shall be deemed to conflict with this Agreement if it is an increase in an existing fee by more than the amount permitted pursuant to Section 4 below.
b. Any law, regulation or policy which would otherwise be Conflicting City Law, but through this Agreement or by later separate document, application to the Property has been consented to in writing by the Developer.
3.3 Further Reviews. Developer acknowledges that existing land use regulations, the Vested Elements and this Agreement contemplate the possibility of further reviews of elements or portions of the Project by the City including potential CEQA analysis, if required. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit the legal authority of City with respect to these reviews as provided by, and otherwise consistent with, this Agreement and the Vested Elements. In no event shall such further review by City revisit the COAs and Project Approvals or be conditioned on or require any change in the DRAFT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Development Agreement/Mission Point Page 11 of 34
Rev. 06/28/2024 9/4/24
Project except as contemplated by the COAs, the Project Approvals and/or this Agreement.
3.4 Local Rules. Future development on the Property shall be subject to all the official rules, regulations and policies (collectively “Local Rules”) of the City which govern uses, architectural design, landscaping, public improvements and construction standards, and which are contained in and not inconsistent with the Vested Elements or are in effect as of the Effective Date, with the exception that revisions or amendments to the Local Rules necessitated by reasonable public health or fire and life-safety considerations shall apply as though the rules were in effect as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limitation as to any other exceptions contained in this Agreement, City shall retain the authority to take the following actions, so long as such action is applied on a Citywide basis to similarly situated projects:
a. Adopt and apply property transfer taxes and/or excise taxes; b. Adopt and apply utility charges;
c. Adopt updates to building and/or fire codes;
d. Maintain the right of voters to act by initiative or referendum, but only to the extent that the initiative or referendum does not affect or interfere with any vested rights acquired by the Developer in this Agreement; except that this Agreement itself is subject to referendum; and,
e. Take other actions not expressly prohibited by the terms or provisions of this Agreement.
3.5 Future Exercise of Discretion by City. This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the authority or obligation of City to hold necessary public hearings, or, except as provided herein, to limit discretion of the City or any of its officers or officials with regard to rules, regulations, ordinances or laws which require the exercise of discretion by City or any of its officers or officials. Except as provided herein, this Agreement shall not prevent City from applying new rules, regulations and policies, or from conditioning future Project development approval applications on new rules, regulations and policies that do not conflict with the terms of the Vested Elements or this Agreement.
4. DEVELOPMENT FEES, EXACTIONS AND DEDICATIONS.
4.1 Development Fees, Exactions and Dedications. During the time period between the Effective Date and the time period that is seven (7) years after the Effective Date (such time period, as extended by any delay due to Force Majeure hereinafter the “Development Fee Vested Period”), the types and amounts of fees, special assessments, special taxes, exactions and dedications (collectively “Fees”) payable due to the development, build out, occupancy and use of the Property pursuant to this Agreement shall be exclusively those set forth in the Project Approvals, the COAs and as specified in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any amendments to the Fees or imposition of any new City fees, taxes, special assessments or other exactions during the Development Fee DRAFT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Development Agreement/Mission Point Page 12 of 34
Rev. 06/28/2024 9/4/24
Vested Period, the Fees set forth in this Agreement, the COAs, and Project Approvals shall be the only fees, charges, special assessments, special taxes, dedications and exactions payable to City due to development of the Property during the Development Fee Vested Period; provided however that any automatic and generally applicable increases to such Fees occurring during the Development Fee Vested Period pursuant to an ordinance adopted prior to the Development Vested Period shall apply to the Fees.
The defined term “Fees” for this purpose does not include Load Fees adopted by Silicon Valley Power. The Development Fee Vesting Period shall be extended (if still in effect at the time) or reset (if expired at the time) for a period(s) of four (4) years upon the date of City approval of an Architectural Review Permit for any portion of the Project based on whatever Fees are in effect as of the reset date (each a “Development Fee Vesting Locking Period”). Each Development Fee Vesting Locking Period shall be documented by Operating Memoranda pursuant to Section 22.1. After the Development Fee Vesting Period has expired (subject to the Development Fee Vesting Locking Periods noted above), all Fees payable due to the development, build out, occupancy and use of the Property pursuant to this Agreement shall be those Fees, and in the amounts, then in effect so long as such Fee is (i) generally applicable on a city-wide or area-wide basis for similar land uses, and (ii) are not redundant as to the Project of a fee, dedication, program, requirement, or facility that is imposed or required under this Agreement, the COAs, or the Project Approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Developer complies with the requirements of Section 4.8, Art in Public and Private Development Funding, the Project shall not be subject to any public art fee (or similarly titled development fee or special tax adopted for the purposes of increasing the amount of public/publicly accessible art or generating funding for such purpose) adopted by the City as set forth in Section 4.8.
4.2 Processing Fees. Processing fees, including without limitation Building Permit application, processing and inspection fees (“Processing Fees”), may be increased if the increase is applicable Citywide and reflects the reasonable cost to City of performing the administrative processing or other service for which the particular Processing Fee is charged. New Processing Fees may be imposed if the new Processing Fees apply to all similarly situated projects or works within the City and if the application of these Processing Fees to the Property is prospective only. Processing Fees shall be due and payable on an individual project application basis, so that only those fees applying to the actual construction of each portion of the Project shall be paid upon the issuance of the appropriate permits for that portion of the Project. Developer shall pay the costs associated with the planning, processing and environmental review process for the Project, provided that such costs shall be limited to (i) reasonable costs directly associated with the preparation of the EIR; (ii) fees ordinarily charged by City for processing land use applications and permits, provided that such fees and costs are applied to Developer in the same manner as other similarly situated applicants seeking similar land use approvals and are not limited in applicability to the Project or to related uses; and (iii) fees associated with third-party contract permit plan checking, if applicable, above those normally charged by the City. Pursuant to Section 4.3, Developer shall reimburse City for reasonable staff overtime expenses incurred by City in processing review, approval, inspection and completion of the Project provided that such overtime expenses are (a) reasonably necessary for the completion of the Project in DRAFT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Development Agreement/Mission Point Page 13 of 34
Rev. 06/28/2024 9/4/24
accordance with Developer’s schedule; and (b) applied to Developer in the same manner as similarly situated project applicants.
4.3 Reimbursement to City. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on Processing Fees, Developer agrees to reimburse City for expenses over and above Processing Fees paid by Developer as an applicant for reasonable third-party contractual costs incurred by City relating to any expedited processing of entitlements and environmental review related to this Agreement requested by the Developer. Such reimbursement shall be due within sixty (60) days of receipt of an invoice from the City.
4.4 Dedications. Developer shall offer to dedicate to City, upon request by City, all portions of the Property designated in the Project Approvals or Conditions of Approval for public easements, streets or public areas.
4.5 Mitigations. Developer agrees to contribute to the costs of public facilities and services in the amounts set forth in the Project Approvals, MMRP, and COAs as required to mitigate impacts of the development of the Property (“Mitigations”). City and Developer recognize and agree that but for Developer’s contributions to mitigate the impacts arising as a result of the entitlements granted pursuant to this Agreement, City would not and could not approve the development of the Property as provided by this Agreement. City’s approval of development of the Property is in reliance upon, and in consideration of, Developer’s agreement to make contributions toward the cost of public improvements and public services as provided to mitigate the impacts of development of the Property.
4.6 Affordable Housing Provisions. Developer agrees to provide onsite residential units at affordable rents/costs, as set forth in the AHP (set forth in Section 2.11 of the Development Plan). The City’s baseline Inclusionary Housing Policy requires developers of for sale and rental residential developments (including mixed use projects) of ten (10) or more units to provide at least fifteen (15%) percent of their units at rents or prices affordable to extremely low, very low, low and moderate income households, or some combination thereof, as long as the distribution of affordable units average for all rental units does not exceed a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) of area median income or the average for all affordable for-sale rental units does not exceed one hundred percent (100%) AMI, and for the affordable units to be dispersed with the market rate units. Inclusionary units are subject to reduced required fees, and any calculations that result in fractional units pay in-lieu fees. The Project must meet all requirements of the City’s existing Affordable Housing Ordinance and all affordable housing units must be dispersed with the market rate units, unless, upon the request of Developer, an alternate plan is approved by the City Council pursuant to the AHP and existing Affordable Housing Ordinance. When and if the City Council approves an alternative plan pursuant to the AHP, such alternative plan shall be incorporated by reference in this Agreement so long as such alternate plan otherwise complies with this Agreement. In addition, the Developer has voluntarily agreed to meet and exceed this requirement as provided in the AHP by proposing to provide an average affordability of eighty (80%) AMI with no individual affordable rental unit exceeding a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) DRAFT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Development Agreement/Mission Point Page 14 of 34
Rev. 06/28/2024 9/4/24
AMI and no individual affordable for-sale unit exceeding a maximum of one hundred and twenty percent (120%) AMI.
4.7 Open Space and Parks. Developer acknowledges its obligation to provide parkland, pay a fee in lieu thereof, or a combination of such dedication and fee pursuant to Chapter
17.35 of the City Code. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of Section 4 or any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 4.7 shall exclusively govern the dedication of parkland and payment of fees due in lieu of parkland dedication, and the credits against the amount of such parkland dedication and/or such in lieu fees, with respect to the Project. Said fees shall be assessed per development of the Project’s residential units and shall be paid prior to the issuance of a building permits for vertical construction of residential buildings and the timing of dedication and delivery of parkland shall be as set forth in a park improvement agreement executed between the City and Developer. In addition, the Project will comply with the following with respect to open space and parks as the Project is implemented:
a. Minimum Park and Open Space Improvements. Subject to the City’s formal public park review process, concurrent with issuance of Building Permits resulting in a cumulative of five hundred (500) or more residential units within Area D, the Developer will have completed or entered into a public improvement agreement with the City to complete a minimum of one and a half (1.5) acres or more of public park or private open space improvements with a public access easement that include play areas for children ages 2 to 5 and ages 5 to 12. b. Maintenance of Public Parks. The Parties acknowledge that the size and design of the public park is conceptual and will be subject to the City’s process under the Park Ordinance. When a public park is proposed by the Developer, in addition to the park improvement agreement and as a condition of approval, the Developer will enter into a maintenance agreement with the City to maintain the proposed public parks on the Property consistent with City’s standard and typical maintenance standards for a minimum of forty years from dedication (“Public Park Maintenance Period”). The Parties agree that the target maximum annual maintenance cost for the public park, including an annualized reserve for anticipated capital replacement costs during the Public Park Maintenance Period, is one dollar and sixteen cents ($1.16) per square foot of public park, as adjusted by CPI from the Effective Date (the “Target Maximum Public Park Maintenance Cost”). The Target Maximum Public Park Maintenance Cost is intended to cover one hundred percent (100%) of reasonable annual park maintenance and capital replacement during the Public Park Maintenance Period based on current conceptual park designs and assumes private maintenance by Developer as an independent contractor. If at the time the public parks are designed, Developer proposes a design or programmatic elements that result in estimated annual maintenance costs that exceed the Target Maximum Public Park Maintenance Cost, the Developer will nevertheless accept responsibility for maintenance of the parks and assume responsibility for one hundred percent (100%) of annual maintenance costs during the Public Park Maintenance Period. If, however, the City requests changes to the park design or programmatic elements proposed by DRAFT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Development Agreement/Mission Point Page 15 of 34
Rev. 06/28/2024 9/4/24
Developer that increase estimated maintenance costs above the Target Maximum Public Park Maintenance Cost, the Parties will meet and confer in good faith on design changes to reduce maintenance costs to at or below the Target Maximum Public Park Maintenance Costs. If the City does not wish to accept design changes that would reduce maintenance costs, the City may instead elect to enter into an agreement with the Developer to reimburse maintenance costs in excess of the Target Maximum Public Park Maintenance Cost for the Public Park Maintenance Period. After the Public Park Maintenance Period, the City will be solely responsible for all public park maintenance and capital replacement costs for any dedicated public park.
c. Maintenance of Public Trails. When a public trail is proposed by the Developer on the Property, in addition to the trail improvement agreement and as a condition of approval, the Developer will enter into a maintenance agreement with the City to maintain the proposed public trail on the Property consistent with City’s standard and typical maintenance standards for a minimum of forty years from dedication (“Public Trail Maintenance Period”). The Parties agree that the target maximum annual maintenance cost for the public trail, including an annualized reserve for anticipated capital replacement costs during the Public Trail Maintenance Period, is one dollar and sixteen cents ($1.16) per square foot of public trail, as adjusted by CPI from the Effective Date (the “Target Maximum Public Trail Maintenance Cost”). The Target Maximum Public Trail Maintenance Cost is intended to cover one hundred percent (100%) of reasonable annual public trail maintenance and capital replacement during the Public Trail Maintenance Period based on current conceptual public trail designs and assumes private maintenance by Developer as an independent contractor.
d. Public Access to Private Open Space. Public access easements will apply to ground level private open space of a public facing nature over which pedestrian, bicycle traffic, or other public use is reasonably anticipated or would provide a convenience, amenity value, and/or help create pedestrian or bicycle connectivity.
Delineation of areas subject to such public access easements will be determined at the time of Architectural Design Review approval for each Project phase or subphase that includes ground level private open space improvements. Areas subject to access easements are anticipated to consist of privately-owned sidewalks, pedestrian plazas, parks, bike lanes, streets, and landscaped areas directly adjacent to public parks or rights of way. Upon completion of each phase of applicable private open space in the Project, Developer to provide a public access easement over the applicable areas with either 24/7 access, or other reasonable hours as appropriate depending on the location, to be recorded prior to the applicable certificate of occupancy. The City shall not be responsible for any maintenance costs for the public access easement areas.
4.8 Art in Public and Private Development Funding. Parties agree that art in public and private development has come to be an essential element in placemaking, social practice, and the creation of vibrant and economically successful communities. As such, the Developer agrees to invest an aggregate (reasonable hard and soft third party costs for DRAFT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Development Agreement/Mission Point Page 16 of 34
Rev. 06/28/2024 9/4/24
processing, design, construction and installation) minimum amount of five million dollars ($5,000,000), as adjusted by CPI, in original art features within the Project (“Public Art Funding”). These features must be publicly visible and/or accessible and may include, but are not limited to: sculptures, murals, exhibition or performance spaces and functional art such as decorative benches, bike racks or other architectural design features that are commissioned original pieces of art approved by the City. Placemaking activities such as temporary art installations or cultural arts programming that the general public can participate in are also considered acceptable uses of the Public Art Funding. All projects to be supported by the Public Art Funding shall be submitted to the City with a maintenance plan for approval. The Developer shall spend , or place in an escrow held by the City, at least Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), adjusted by CPI, of the Public Art Funding prior to the exercise of First Extension of the Term of this Agreement, and at least the full amount of the Public Art Funding prior to the exercise of the Second Extension of the Term. If the requirement in the preceding sentence is satisfied, the Project shall not be subject to any new public art fee or similar public arts requirements adopted by the City for the longer of the full Term of this Agreement or through completion of the Project. Any escrowed funds shall remain in an earmarked account for use on the Project until five (5) years after termination of this Agreement. After that time, any unspent funds remaining in escrow will be available to the City for any public art purpose within the City in the City’s sole discretion. The obligations of this Section 4.8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
4.9 Local Transportation Improvements; Fair Share Traffic Fees. In addition to all applicable traffic impact fees pursuant to Santa Clara Code Section 17.15.330, Developer agrees to the total sum of up to Six Million One Hundred Thousand Sixty Two Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety Six Dollars ($6,162,396) (“Fair Share Traffic Fees ”) payable to the City to mitigate the Project’s contributions to certain local and regional intersection improvements identified in the EIR and further specified and allocated in Exhibit B (“Allocation of Fair Share Traffic Fees”). The Fair Share Traffic Fees shall be payable at the times and in the amounts shown on Allocation of Fair Share Traffic Fees. At the Developer’s option, Developer may pay Fair Share Traffic Fees in cash when due, or by use of a bond or letter of credit, to be credited proportionately to such intersection improvement or otherwise subject to the provisions of this Section 4.9. In the event the City permits the Developer to build any local transportation improvements over and above the Project’s fair share, Developer shall be entitled to reimbursement from traffic fees paid to City by properties not associated with the Project and which benefit from the improvements over and above the Project’s fair share when those properties develop.
4.10 Sewer Connection Fee. If the City should adopt an ordinance subsequent to the Effective Date of this Agreement that permits reduced Sewer Connection Fees as a result of onsite conservation measures, the Developer may apply for consideration of such reductions toward the Sewer Connection Fees paid on behalf of the Project. Applications may be filed for any portion of the Project, if that portion of the Project has a minimum of one year of ninety percent (90%) occupancy prior to receipt of the application by the City.

4.11 Vacation of Democracy Way. The City agrees to approve the vacation of Democracy Way as shown in the VTM and may utilize any applicable procedure permissible under the City Charter and/or the SCCC to effectuate the vacation of the street right of way easement, including all required relocation of public utilities (the “Street Easement Vacation”). The Street Easement Vacation is subject to the reservation of a public utility easement therein until the relocation of all required public utilities existing within Democracy Way as of the Effective Date (“Existing Public Utilities”).
Developer shall, at its cost, relocate or cause to be relocated all Existing Public Utilities (“Relocation Work”). Promptly following the completion of such Relocation Work, the City shall vacate the reserved public utility easement within the Vacated Street Area pursuant to the summary vacation procedures set forth in Streets and Highways Code Section 8300 et seq. When the Developer commences the Relocation Work, the City will, promptly upon receipt of a written request to do so from Developer and at the Developer’s cost, prepare an appraisal of the fair market value of the street right of way easement by a qualified appraiser (“ROW Appraisal”). The Developer will have the right to review the qualifications and scope of work for the Appraisal prior to its preparation, and the City shall consider and address any reasonable objections of the Developer in good faith. The Developer shall pay to the City the fair market value established by the ROW Appraisal (“FMV”), minus the actual and reasonable soft and hard costs of the Relocation Work (“Relocation Costs”). Developer will pay to the City the amount (if any) that the FMV exceeds the Relocation Costs. If, however, the Relocation Costs exceed the FMV, no amount will be due to either Party. The Street Easement Vacation and any payment due to the City under this Section 4.11 shall be completed prior to the recordation of a Final Map for either Area A or Area B (whichever is earlier), as depicted on the VTM. The Parties acknowledge that this process may take several years to complete, and that the City will commence this process only upon the written request of the Developer and execution of a reimbursement agreement for the City’s actual, reasonable costs related to implementation of this Section 4.11.
4.12 Utility Improvements. Developer shall, at its cost, upgrade existing public utilities per the infrastructure delivery plan set forth in the Project Approvals. Developer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any upsizing of public utilities to serve connections from properties not associated with the Project.
4.13 SVP Facilities. Special facilities may be required for the provision of electric service to the Project. Developer agrees to fulfill its commitments to SVP pursuant to the COAs and, if required, a separate agreement to be entered with SVP.
4.14 Transportation Services. Developer agrees to implement the Transportation Demand Management Plan, as set forth in Section 2.10 of the Development Plan, in order to facilitate the usage of multi-modal transit in cooperation with the City, other public agencies, and other local business interests.
4.15 Point of Sale for Project Construction. The Developer agrees to, prior to issuance of Building Permits, to the extent allowed by law, to require all persons and entities providing materials to be used in connection with the construction and development of, or incorporated into, the Project, including by way of illustration but not limitation bulk DRAFT

lumber, concrete, structural steel, roof trusses and other pre- fabricated building components, to (a) obtain a use tax direct payment permit; (b) elect to obtain a subcontractor permit for the job site of a contract valued at Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or more; or (c) otherwise designate the Property as the place of use of material used in the construction of the Project and the place of sale of all fixtures installed in and/or furnished in order to have the local portion of the sales and use tax distributed directly to City instead of through the county-wide pool. Developer shall instruct its general contractor(s) to, and shall cause such general contractor(s) to instruct its/their subcontractors to, cooperate with City or City’s consultant to ensure the local sales/use tax derived from construction of the Project is allocated to City to the fullest extent possible and to the extent allowed by law. This Section 4.15 shall not apply to tenants who perform their own tenant improvement work. To assist City or City’s consultant in its efforts to ensure that such local sales/use tax is so allocated to City, Developer shall on an annual basis, or as frequently as quarterly upon City’s or City’s consultant request, provide City or City’s consultant with such information as shall be reasonably requested by City or City’s consultant regarding subcontractors working on the Project with contracts in excess of the amount set forth above, including a description of all applicable work and materials and the dollar value of such subcontracts, and, if applicable, evidence of their designation, such as approvals or applications for the direct payment permit, of City as the place of use of such work and materials. City or City’s consultant may use such information to contact each subcontractor who may qualify for local allocation of use taxes to City. The City’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure of any general contractor(s) or subcontractor(s) to allocate sales and use tax revenues as provided herein or to comply with this Section 4.15 will be specific performance.
4.16 Grocery Store. If and when the northeastern portion of Area B, fronting Tasman Drive and Old Ironsides, is developed by the Developer during the Term (as the Term may be extended), such development must be designed, as part of the Architectural Design Review application and related Building Permit plans, to include a grocery store that meets the following minimum criteria: (a) a minimum of fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet of leasable area and (b) capable of providing traditional grocery store products including fresh produce, dairy, meat and fish, and dry goods (“Grocery Store”).
As part of such development, Developer shall construct or pay all costs associated with completion of the Grocery Store to an initial core and shell condition (meaning all basic structural and life safety improvements are completed not including any tenant improvements) prior to the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy for the building that includes the Grocery Store. If the Developer proposes development on Area B that does not include the area proposed for the Grocery Store, the Developer shall submit information with the Architectural Review Permit to the City to confirm that such development will not limit, conflict with or otherwise adversely impact the future feasibility of the Grocery Store. If the Developer wishes to move the Grocery Store, the Director may, in their reasonable discretion, approve an alternative location as part of an Architectural Design Review application without amendment to this Agreement (in which case requirements of this Section 4.16 would apply to such alternative location).
Such alternative location shall be documented by the Parties by Operating Memorandum pursuant to Section 22.1. The Parties acknowledge the grocery store market is subject to fluctuation and there is no guarantee that a third party tenant will be available to lease the DRAFT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Development Agreement/Mission Point Page 19 of 34
Rev. 06/28/2024 9/4/24
space on commercially reasonable terms. For a period of three (3) years from completion of initial core and shell improvements such that the Grocery Store is available and ready to execute a binding lease with a grocery tenant and commence tenant improvements, the Developer will make good faith efforts to market and lease the Grocery Store to a grocery store tenant providing traditional grocery store products including fresh produce, dairy, meat and fish, and dry goods, and will provide the Director regular updates (not less than quarterly) on these marketing and leasing efforts until a binding lease is entered into with a tenant (“Grocery Store Marketing Period”). The commencement and conclusion of the Grocery Store Marketing Period shall be documented by the Parties by Operating Memorandum pursuant to Section 22.1. During the Grocery Store Marketing Period, the Developer shall offer the Grocery Store at commercially reasonable terms, as supported by qualified broker information, including a commercially reasonable tenant improvement allowance and a triple net rental rate that does not exceed a fair market rent for a grocery store, considering the condition of the space and the tenant improvement allowance. Developer will promptly notify City when a tenant providing a Grocery Store has executed a lease of the Grocery Store. If a lease is not entered into despite good faith marketing and leasing efforts within the Grocery Store Marketing Period, the Developer will have no further obligations related to the Grocery Store and can use the Grocery Store area for any permitted purpose. This Section 4.16 shall survive termination of this Agreement through the Grocery Store Marketing Period.
If, at the time the Developer submits for Architectural Review for building(s) within the applicable portion of Area B, the grocery market is either saturated or Developer demonstrates that a grocery tenant is otherwise unlikely, the Developer may submit a market study to the City, request the Director to engage a qualified consultant (retained by the City with expense reimbursed by Developer) to evaluate the market study. If the Director, in their reasonable discretion based on the information in the market study and findings of the City’s qualified consultant, confirms a grocery tenant is unlikely, then Developer and City will meet and confer in good faith to identify one or more alternative community benefits to replace the Grocery Store. Such alternative community benefit(s) are subject to mutual approval of Developer and City (by the Director and City Manager), each in their reasonable discretion. City approval is subject to a finding that the proposed alternative community benefit(s) would have a dollar value (net cost or financial impact to the Project) at least equal to the Grocery Store and acceptance is in the best interests of the City (“Approved Grocery Store Alternative). Such Approved Grocery Store Alternative will not require an amendment to this Agreement, but will be documented in writing by Operating Memoranda pursuant to Section 22.1. Until an Approved Grocery Store Alternative is formally approved by Operating Memoranda, the Developer must continue to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.16.
4.17 Childcare Facility. If and when the portion of Area D fronting the SFPUC right of way is developed by the Developer during the Term, as the Term may be extended, such development must be designed, as part of the Architectural Design Review application and related Building Permit plans, to include a childcare facility that meets the following minimum criteria: (a) suitable to be open to the public, (b) a minimum of eight thousand (8,000) square feet of interior leasable area and an outdoor play area, and (c) capable of compliance with applicable state regulations on childcare facilities (“Childcare Facility”).

As part of such development, Developer shall construct or pay all costs associated with completion of the Childcare Facility to an initial core and shell condition (meaning all basic structural and life safety improvements are completed not including any tenant improvements) prior to the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy for the building that includes the Childcare Facility. If the Developer wishes to move the Childcare Facility, the Director may, in their reasonable discretion, approve an alternative location as part of an Architectural Design Review application without amendment to this Agreement (in which case requirements of this Section 4.17 would apply to such alternative location). If requested and approved, such alternative location shall be documented by the Parties by Operating Memorandum pursuant to Section 22.1. The Parties acknowledge the childcare market is subject to fluctuation and there is no guarantee that a third party tenant will be available to lease the space on commercially reasonable terms. For a period of three (3) years from completion of initial core and shell improvements, such that the Childcare Facility is available and ready to execute a binding lease with a childcare tenant and commence tenant improvements, the Developer will make good faith efforts to market and lease the Childcare Facility to a tenant providing a daycare use, and will provide the Director regular updates (not less than quarterly) on these marketing and leasing Efforts until a binding lease is entered into with a tenant (“Childcare Facility Marketing Period”). The commencement and conclusion of the Childcare Facility Marketing Period shall be documented by the Parties by Operating Memorandum pursuant to Section 22.1. During the Childcare Facility Marketing Period, the Developer shall offer the Childcare Facility at commercially reasonable terms, as supported by qualified broker information, including a commercially reasonable tenant improvement allowance and a triple net rental rate that does not exceed a fair market rent for a childcare facility considering the condition of the space and the tenant improvement allowance. Developer will promptly notify City when a tenant providing a Childcare Facility has executed a lease of the Childcare Facility. If a lease is not entered into despite good faith marketing and leasing efforts within the Childcare Facility Marketing Period, the Developer will have no further obligations related to the Childcare Facility and can use the Childcare Facility area for any permitted purpose. This Section 4.17 shall survive termination of this Agreement through the Childcare Marketing Period.
If, at the time the Developer submits for Architectural Review for building(s) within the applicable portion of Area D, the childcare market is either saturated or Developer otherwise demonstrates that a childcare tenant is unlikely, the Developer may submit such market study to the City and request to the Director to confirm (by a qualified consultant retained by the City with expense reimbursed by Developer). If the Director, in their reasonable discretion based on the information in the market study and findings of the City’s qualified consultant, confirms Developer’s study demonstrating a childcare tenant is unlikely, then Developer and City will meet and confer in good faith to identify one or more alternative community benefits to replace the Childcare Facility. Such alternative community benefit(s) are subject to approval of Developer and the Director and City Manager in their reasonable discretion. City approval is subject to a finding that the proposed alternative community benefit(s) would have a dollar value (net cost or financial impact to the Project) at least equal to the Childcare Facility and acceptance is in the best interests of the City (“Approved Childcare Alternative). Such Approved Childcare Alternative will not require an amendment to this Agreement, but will be DRAFT

In the event of conflict between the General Plan, this Agreement, SCCC, Other Regulations and Local Rules, all as they exist on the Effective Date, the Parties agree that the following sequence establishes the relative priority of each item: (1) the General Plan, as existing on the Effective Date; (2) this Agreement; (3) the Development Plan as modified by the COAs, (4) VTM as modified by the COAs, (4) Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, (5) the other Project Approvals, (6) SCCC, and (7) Other Regulations and Local Rules.
7. COOPERATION IN IMPLEMENTATION
7.1 Cooperation in Implementation. Upon Developer’s satisfactory completion of all required preliminary actions provided in the Project Approvals, and payment of required fees, if any, City shall proceed in a reasonable and expeditious manner, in compliance with the deadlines mandated by applicable agreements, statutes or ordinances, to complete all steps necessary for implementation of this Agreement and development of the Property in accordance with the Project Approvals, including the following actions:
a. Scheduling all required public hearings by the Zoning Administrator, Planning Commission and City Council; and,

Rev. 06/28/2024 9/4/24
8.2 Developer’s Submittal. Within ninety (90) days before each anniversary of the Effective Date, Developer shall submit a letter (“Compliance Letter”) to the Community Development Director (“Director”), along with a copy directed to the City Attorney’s Office, describing Developer’s compliance with the terms of the Conditions of Approval and this Agreement during the preceding year. The Compliance Letter shall include a statement that the Compliance Letter is submitted to the City pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 65865.1, this Agreement, and SCCC. The reasonable cost of each annual review or special review conducted during the term of this Agreement shall be reimbursed to the City by Developer. Such reimbursement shall include all direct and indirect expenses reasonably incurred in such annual reviews.
8.3 City’s Findings. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Compliance Letter, the Director shall determine whether, for the year under review, Developer has demonstrated good faith substantial compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Director finds and determines that Developer has complied substantially with the terms of this Agreement, or does not determine otherwise within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Compliance Letter, the annual review shall be deemed concluded, Developer shall be deemed to have complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the year under review, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
Upon a determination of compliance, the Director shall, if requested by Developer, issue a recordable certificate confirming Developer’s compliance through the year under review. Developer may record the certificate with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office. If the Director initially determines the Compliance Letter to be inadequate in any respect, he/she shall provide notice to that effect to Developer as provided in SCCC Section 17.10.220. If, after a duly noticed public hearing thereon, the City Council finds and determines based on substantial evidence that Developer has not complied substantially in good faith with the terms of this Agreement for the year under review, the City Council shall give written notice thereof to Developer specifying the noncompliance and such notice shall serve as a notice of default under Section 10.1. If Developer fails to cure the noncompliance within a reasonable period of time as established by the City Council, the City Council, in its discretion, may (i) grant additional time for compliance by Developer, or (ii) following the hearing described in SCCC Section 17.10.250, modify this Agreement to the extent necessary to remedy or mitigate the non-compliance, or (iii) terminate this Agreement. Except as affected by the terms hereof, the terms of SCCC Section 17.10.240(b)(2), and following, shall govern the City’s compliance review process. During any review, Developer shall bear the burden of proof to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If the City Council does not hold a hearing and make its determination within one hundred and twenty (120) days after delivery of the Compliance Letter for a given year, then it shall be deemed conclusive that Developer has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the period under review.
9. REIMBURSEMENTS
9.1 Reimbursements. The Parties agree that Developer shall not be entitled to reimbursement for the construction of any private or public improvement explicitly DRAFT

provided by the Project Approvals, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the COAs.
10. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
10.1 Default. Failure by either Party to perform any material term or provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default, provided that the Party alleging the default gave the other Party advance written notice of the default and thirty (30) days to cure the condition, or, if the nature of the default is such that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, the Party receiving notice shall not be in default if the Party commences performance of its obligations within the thirty (30) day period and diligently completes that performance. Written notice shall specify in detail the nature of the obligation to be performed by the Party receiving notice.
10.2 Remedies. It is acknowledged by the Parties that City and Developer would not have entered into this Agreement if City or Developer were to be liable in damages under, or with respect to, this Agreement or the application thereof. City and Developer shall not be liable in damages to each other, or to any assignee, transferee or any other person, and Developer and City covenant not to sue for or claim damages from the other.
Upon Developer’s or City’s material default, and failure to cure within a reasonable time depending on the nature of the default after demand by the non-defaulting Party, the nondefaulting Party shall institute mediation under Section 26 of this Agreement. If mediation fails to resolve the dispute, each Party shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available under this Agreement, to (i) bring any proceeding in the nature of specific performance, injunctive relief or mandamus, and/or (ii) bring any action at law or in equity as may be permitted by law or this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that monetary damages and remedies at law generally are inadequate upon the occurrence of a default. Therefore, specific performance or other extraordinary equitable relief (such as injunction) is an appropriate remedy for the enforcement of this Agreement, other remedies at law being inadequate under all the circumstances pertaining as of the Effective Date of this Agreement and any such equitable remedy shall be available to the Parties.
10.3 Default by Developer/Withholding of Building Permit. City may, at its discretion, without submitting to mediation, refuse to issue a Building Permit for any structure within the Property, if Developer has materially failed and refused to complete any requirement that is a Condition of Approval, or that is applicable to the Building Permit requested. In addition, where City has determined that Developer is in default as described above, City may also refuse to issue the Developer any permit or entitlement for any structure or property located within the Project. This remedy shall be in addition to any other remedies provided for by this Agreement.
11. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
11.1 Agreement to Amend or Terminate. Subject to Section 22 regarding Operating Memoranda and Section 11.2 regarding future actions and minor changes, City and DRAFT

Developer, by mutual agreement, may terminate or amend the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to Section 24.
11.2 Modification to Approvals. City and Developer anticipate that the Project will be implemented in accordance with the Vested Elements and the MMRP. The foregoing actions and other necessary or convenient implementation actions shall not require an amendment to this Agreement.
a. City and Developer understand and acknowledge that changes to the Project which would not, in the discretion of the City, substantially comply with the Vested Elements or MMRP would necessitate subsequent review and approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the written request of Developer, City may agree to make a substantive amendment or modification to the Project Approvals, including the Development Plan in compliance with procedural provisions set forth in the Development Plan or other land use ordinances and regulations in effect on the date of application for amendment or modification. The amendment or modification of the Development Plan shall be done pursuant to Section 24, unless treated as a minor change as described in Section 11.2(b) below.
b. If Developer seeks a modification to the Approval(s), the Director or his/her designee shall determine: (i) whether the requested modification is minor when considered in light of the Project as a whole; and (ii) whether the requested modification is consistent with this Agreement and applicable law. If the Director or his/her designee finds, in his or her sole discretion, that the proposed modification is minor, consistent with this Agreement and applicable law, and will result in no new significant impacts not addressed and mitigated in the EIR, the modification shall be determined to be a “Minor Change” and shall not be considered an amendment to the applicable Approval(s) and shall not require a formal amendment to this Agreement. Upon the Director’s approval, any Minor Change shall become part of the applicable Approvals and this Agreement, and shall be deemed a Vested Element. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, lot line adjustments, minor alterations to vehicle circulation patterns or vehicle access points, substitutions of comparable landscaping for any landscaping shown on any final development plan or landscape plan, variations in the location of utilities and other infrastructure connections that do not substantially alter the design concepts of the Project, and minor adjustments to the Project Site diagram constitute Minor Changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Minor Changes shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the number proposed for modification.
11.3 Enforceability of Agreement. The City and Developer agree that unless this Agreement is amended or terminated pursuant to its terms, this Agreement shall be enforceable by either Party notwithstanding any subsequent change to or adoption of any applicable General Plan, Specific Plan, SCCC, Other Regulation or Local Rule adopted by City, with the exceptions listed in this Agreement.

12. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION: CERTAIN RIGHTS OF CURE
12.1 Mortgagee Protection. This Agreement shall be superior and senior to all liens placed upon the Property or any portion thereof after the date on which this Agreement or a memorandum thereof is recorded, including the lien of any deed of trust or mortgage (“Mortgage”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no breach hereof shall defeat, render invalid, diminish or impair the lien of any Mortgage made in good faith and for value, but all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon and effective against all persons and entities, including all deed of trust beneficiaries or mortgagees (“Mortgagees”) who acquire title to the Property or any portion thereof by foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed in-lieu-of foreclosure, voluntary transfer or otherwise.
12.2 Mortgagee Obligations. City, upon receipt of a written request from a foreclosing Mortgagee, shall permit the Mortgagee to succeed to the rights and obligations of Developer under this Agreement, provided that all defaults by Developer hereunder that are reasonably susceptible of being cured are cured by the Mortgagee as soon as reasonably possible, provided, however, that in no event shall such Mortgagee personally be liable for any defaults or monetary obligations of Developer arising prior to acquisition of possession of such property by such Mortgagee. The foreclosing Mortgagee shall have the right to find a substitute developer to assume the obligations of Developer, which substitute shall be considered for approval by the City pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement, but shall not, itself, be required to comply with all of the provisions of this Agreement.
12.3 Notice of Default to Mortgagee. If City receives notice from a Mortgagee requesting a copy of any notice of default given to Developer and specifying the address for service thereof, City shall endeavor to deliver to the Mortgagee, concurrently with service thereof to Developer, all notices given to Developer describing all claims by the City that Developer has defaulted hereunder. If City determines that Developer is not in compliance with this Agreement, City also shall endeavor to serve notice of noncompliance on the Mortgagee concurrently with service on Developer. Each Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, during the same period available to Developer to cure or remedy, or to commence to cure or remedy, the condition of default claimed or the areas of noncompliance set forth in City’s notice.
13. ASSIGNABILITY
13.1 Assignment. Neither Party shall convey, assign or transfer (“Transfer”) any of its interests, rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In no event shall the obligations conferred upon Developer under this Agreement be transferred except through a Transfer of all or a portion of the Property. Should Developer Transfer any of its interests, rights or obligations under this Agreement, it shall nonetheless remain liable for performance of the obligations for installation of public improvements and payment of fees, unless the transferee executes an Assumption Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the City whereby the transferee agrees to be bound by the relevant terms of the Agreement, including the obligations for installation of public DRAFT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Development Agreement/Mission Point Page 27 of 34

improvements and payment of fees. During the Term, Developer shall provide City with written notice of a request to Transfer any interest in this Agreement forty-five (45) days prior to any such contemplated Transfer. Any such request for a Transfer shall be accompanied by quantitative and qualitative information that substantiates, to the City’s reasonable satisfaction, that the proposed transferee has the capability to fulfill the rights and obligations of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days of such a request and delivery of information, the City Manager shall make a determination, in his or her sole discretion, as to whether the Transfer shall be permitted or whether such Transfer necessitates an Amendment to this Agreement, subject to approval by the City Council. Each successor in interest to Developer shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions applicable to the portion of the Property acquired. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties’ successors, assigns and legal representatives. This Agreement shall be recorded by the City in the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office promptly upon execution by each of the Parties.
13.2 Covenants Run With The Land. This Agreement, the PD Zoning, and the General Plan Amendment are legislative in nature, and apply to the Property as regulatory ordinances. All of the provisions, agreements, rights, powers, standards, terms, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall run with the land and shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, successors (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) and assigns, devisees, administrators, representatives, lessees and all other persons or entities acquiring the Property, any lot, parcel or any portion thereof and any interest therein, whether by sale, operation of law or other manner, and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors.
13.3 Pre-Approved Transfers. The following Transfers shall not require approval by the City, and shall automatically, upon the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 13.1 above, result in the release of Developer of its obligations hereunder as they may relate specifically to the specific property or asset sold or transferred: (a) sale or lease of the property in its entirety to any other Party to this Agreement or to any affiliate of Developer; (b) sale or lease of one or more buildings to any other Party to this Agreement or to any affiliate of Developer; and (c) a loan or mortgage pertaining to the Property. As used herein, an “affiliate of Developer” means any entity that directly controls or is controlled by or under common control with Developer, whether through the ownership or control of voting interest, by contract, or otherwise.
13.4 Release Upon Transfer. Upon the Transfer of Developer’s rights and interests hereunder pursuant to the preceding subparagraph of this Agreement, Developer shall be released from the obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Property transferred, sold or assigned, arising subsequent to the date of City approval of such Transfer; provided, however, that any transferee, purchaser or assignee approved by the City expressly assumes the obligations of Developer under this Agreement. In any event, the transferee, purchaser or assignee shall be subject to all the provisions hereof and shall provide all necessary documents, certifications and other necessary information prior to City approval.

13.5 Non-Assuming Transferees. Except as otherwise required by a transferor, the burdens, obligations and duties of such transferor under this Agreement shall not apply to any purchaser of any individual commercial or residential condominium offered for sale.
The transferee in a transaction described above and the successors and assigns of such a transferee shall be deemed to have no obligations under this Agreement, but shall continue to benefit from the vested rights provided by this Agreement for the duration of the Term hereof.
