EXHIBIT "A"
April 2022
THOUSAND OAKS RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
Specific Plan No. 22
1. Authority for Specific Plan No.
Specific Plan No. 22 is approved in accordance with, and is authorized by, Sections 65450 through 65457 of the California Government Code, and Sections 9-2.401 through 9-2.403 of the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code.
The Specific Plan is consistent with the Thousand Oaks General Plan and is a tool for systematically implementing the General Plan.
2. Location and Boundaries
The general regional location of Specific Plan 22 is shown in Exhibit “1”.
The location and boundaries of the Specific Plan area are depicted on the attached map labeled Exhibit- "2." The site is an infill site to the south of the 101 Freeway and is approximately 10.97 acres that was a former Kmart commercial shopping center property located south of US 101, west of Hampshire Road, and north of Foothill Drive.
3. Existing Conditions
The Specific Plan area presently contains a vacant commercial shopping center consisting of a one-story, 103,670 square foot commercial building, an attached one-story 12,512 square foot commercial building, an existing 2,600-square foot fast food drive-thru restaurant, a surface parking lot, landscape planters, and existing landscaping. The site is characterized by an ascending grade from Hampshire Road at the east front portion of the site to the west rear portion of the site. This easterly portion of the site is approximately 45 feet lower than the westerly portion. The westerly portion the site, where the townhome buildings pads are proposed, is approximately 28 feet lower than the existing residences to the west and along foothill. In general, the site is at a lower elevation than the existing single-family homes to the west, beyond Foothill Drive. There are existing multi-family residences to the south, existing commercial and institutional uses to the north, existing industrial uses to the east, existing single-family residential to the west, and day acre use to the southwest. The site is currently fenced up and unoccupied.
Item No. 8A
CDD:440-35\CITY COUNCIL ORD\ [FILE ID 2020-70273]
4. Purpose and Intent
The purpose of Specific Plan No. 22 is to encourage private investment in upgrading this site and to establish an architectural theme and the development policies and standards to guide the future use, design, circulation, and development of the land within the boundaries of the Specific Plan.
Adoption of this Specific Plan is a legislative act establishing specific regulations which apply within its boundaries. These regulations may be specific in some areas, and somewhat general in others. They form standards that future development projects must adhere to. A specific plan is analogous to zoning in that regard. As with any property in the City, development of any portion of the site within the Specific Plan requires the approval of an appropriate entitlement application(s) that must comply with the regulations set forth in this Specific Plan, as well as all other applicable City regulations, codes, guidelines, and policies. Unless specifically waived or modified herein, all applicable regulations of Title 9 (Planning and Zoning) of the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code (TOMC), and all other resolutions and policies related to land development in the city, shall apply to development within the Specific Plan area.
5. Statement of The Relationship Of Specific Plan To City’s General Plan As to the relationship of Specific Plan No. 22 to the City’s General Plan:
(i) That General Plan states “high density residential development” like the proposed mixed-use and townhome apartment development “should be located primarily at sites accessible and close to major centers of activity and along the Ventura Freeway.”
(ii) The present site is vacant, neglected and underutilized containing two vacant buildings within a previously developed commercial shopping center. This Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan goal to “enhance . . . attractiveness of the Conejo Valley” because it would provide infill housing, publicly accessible open space and commercial uses;
(iii) Allowing mixed-use and multi-family residential uses and development on this site is consistent with the General Plan’s
Commercial/Residential land use designation; and
(iv) Having new residential units at this location is consistent with the General Plan’s job and housing balance1 by providing a mixed-use 1 “To provide the framework for a planned and unified community containing a balance of living, working, shopping, educational, civic, cultural and recreational facilities.” Item No. 8A
CDD:440-35\CITY COUNCIL ORD\ [FILE ID 2020-70273]
development with commercial uses and entry level workforce housing close to the City’s major employment center in the nearby industrial centers to the east and commercial uses within the Thousand Oaks Boulevard area (Specific Plan 20), so these residents will be able to work nearby.
(v) In addition, a mixed-use development is consistent with greenhouse gas reduction sustainability concepts because the project includes live/work units and this proposed development is within walking distance to retail and restaurants or to nearby shops and restaurants and close to employment centers. Hampshire Road runs along the eastern property line with industrial and commercial centers to the east and north of this site. Nearby City bus routes are located at the intersection of Hampshire Road and Thousand Oaks Boulevard, 0.4- mile northeast of the site and at the intersection of Duesenberg Drive and Thousand Oaks Boulevard, 0.8-mile northeast of the site. Further, the US 101 freeway on and off ramps are nearby to the north.
6. Use Areas
The following uses only shall be permitted within Specific Plan No. 22 subject to requirements and conditions of a Development Permit granted in the manner provided in Article 28 of the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code. As shown on Exhibit “3” the Specific Plan area will consist of the following two (2) use areas:
“Mixed-Use” area allowing two mixed-use buildings which encapsulates related amenities and services for its guests and visitors, all as a permitted use. Such uses would include cafes, eating and drinking establishments, live/work units, and meeting rooms for the purposes of hosting various private events. Other potential uses compatible with the primary “Mix-use” may be considered with Community Development Director or designee approval.
“Multi-family Residential” area allowing 13 multi-family residential buildings with 71 dwelling units in a multi-level, apartment housing configuration with related amenities and accessory uses for its residents and their guests.
The site contains two parcels: one parcel (Parcel A) for the multi-family residential area (approximately 5.04 acres) and the other parcel (Parcel B) for the mixed-use area (approximately 5.94 acres). The use matrix below identifies uses that may be permitted or requires a Special Use Permit within the Specific Plan with an approved underlying Development Permit.

SECTION 1. This Ordinance incorporates, and by this reference makes a part hereof, the Development Agreement (including all exhibits to the Agreement), attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof.
SECTION 2. This Ordinance is adopted under the authority of Government Code Section 65864 et seq. and pursuant to the City’s “Development Agreement Regulations.”
SECTION 3. In accordance with the Development Agreement Regulations, the City Council hereby finds and determines, as follows:
(a) The Development Agreement is consistent with the goals and policies of the Thousand Oaks General Plan and Specific Plan 22; (b) The Development Agreement establishes certain development rights, obligations and conditions for implementation of the Project; (c) The Development Agreement is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice; Item No. 8A
cdd:600-60\420-46\City Council Ord-02\pz (FILE ID: DAGR 2021-70399)
(d) The Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare;
(e) The Development Agreement will support the orderly development of the Property and the preservation of property values; (f) The project qualifies as a “Mixed-Use” project, which is a development concept for the Specific Plan area intended to produce a broad mix of interactive uses, which will create an active and interesting atmosphere in both the daytime and evening hours.
Complementary uses are to be located in close proximity to each other in order to promote interaction between uses to advance the development concept of the Specific Plan.
(g) The project is consistent with the “commercial/residential” land use designation of the Thousand Oaks General Plan.
(h) The architectural design of the project complies with the intent and development standards of SP 22 and the City’s Architectural Design Review Guidelines, Precise Plan of Design Guidelines, Commercial Design Guidelines, and Freeway Corridor Guidelines.
(i) EIR 2021-70442 was prepared for the subject project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A comprehensive evaluation of the potential environmental impacts for this project was performed. This evaluation determined that the project could have a significant effect on the environment without appropriate mitigation measures in place, therefore an EIR was prepared for the project. Appropriate measures are detailed in the report to ensure appropriate mitigation is in place so no significant adverse environmental impact results from the project. To that end, a mitigation monitoring plan is required to ensure the indicated mitigation measures are applied to the project.
The project EIR identified certain environmental effects of the project that may remain significant and unavoidable, due to noise resulting from temporary vibration and construction, despite recommended mitigation measures. However, certain considerations and public benefits of the project outweigh these unavoidable adverse effects and justify and support accepting those effects and approving the project, as described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations included in the CEQA Findings.

4. State Enabling Statute. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted the Development Agreement Act which authorizes any city to enter into binding development agreements establishing certain development rights in real property with persons having legal or equitable interest in such property. Section 65864 of the Development Agreement Act expressly provides as follows:
“The Legislature finds and declares that:
(a) The lack of certainty in the approval of development projects can result in a waste of resources, escalate the cost of housing and other development to the consumer, and
discourage investment in and a commitment to
comprehensive planning which would make maximum
efficient utilization of resources at the least economic cost to the public.
(b) Assurance to the applicant for a development project that upon approval of the project, the applicant may proceed with the project in accordance with existing policies, rules, and regulations, and subject to conditions of approval will strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic cost of development.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to ensure that the City remains responsive and accountable to its residents while pursuing the benefits of development agreements contemplated by the Legislature, the City: (1) accepts restraints on its police powers contained in development agreements only to the extent and for the duration required to achieve the mutual objectives of the Parties as permitted hereunder; and (2) to offset controls and conditions imposed on development project applications.
5. Purpose of this Agreement.
5.1. Public Benefits. This Agreement provides assurances that the public benefits identified in Section 6.1, below, will be achieved in accordance with the Applicable Rules and Project Approvals and with the terms of this Agreement and subject to the City’s Reserved Powers;
5.2. Developer Objectives. In accordance with the legislative findings set forth in the Development Agreement Act, and with full recognition of the City’s policy of judicious restraints on its police powers, Developer wishes to obtain reasonable assurance that the Project may be developed in accordance with the Applicable Rules, the Project Approvals, and other Discretionary Actions and with the terms of this Agreement, but subject to the City’s Reserved Powers. In the absence of this Agreement, Item No. 8A
cdd:600-60\420-46\City Council Ord-02\pz (FILE ID: DAGR 2021-70399)
Developer would have no assurance that it can complete the Project with the parcelization, uses and to the density and intensity of development (including, without limitation, the location and number of improvements, proposed height and building limits (e.g., maximum density, maximum floor area, etc.) and the provisions of open space, vehicular access, and parking set forth in this Agreement, the Project Approvals, and other Discretionary Actions. This Agreement, therefore, is necessary to assure Developer that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Project will not be (a) reduced or otherwise modified in density, intensity or use from what is set forth in the Project Approvals and other Discretionary Actions, (b) “subjected to new rules, regulations, ordinances or official policies or plans that are not adopted or approved pursuant to the City’s Reserved Powers or (c) subjected to unreasonable delays for reasons other than Citywide health and safety enactments related to force majeure events such as, but not limited to, floods, earthquakes, pandemics, labor shortages and similar acts of God.
5.3. Mutual Objectives. Development of the Project in accordance with this Agreement will provide for the orderly development of the Property in accordance with the policies and objectives set forth in the General Plan, as amended by the General Plan Amendment. Moreover, this Agreement will eliminate uncertainty in planning for and securing orderly development of the Property, assure installation of necessary improvements for, and other features of, the Project reflected in the Project Approvals, assure attainment of maximum efficient resource utilization within the City at the least economic cost to its citizens and otherwise achieve the goals and purposes for which they Development Agreement Act was enacted. The Parties believe that such orderly development of the Project will provide public benefits to the City through the imposition of development standards and requirements under this Agreement, including without limitation increased tax revenues, installation of onsite and offsite improvements, creation and retention of jobs, and the development of an aesthetically attractive Project, as well as the public benefits described in Section 6.1, below. In addition, although development of the Project in accordance with this Agreement will restrain the City’s land use or other relevant police powers, this Agreement provides the City with sufficient reserved powers during the Term hereof to remain responsible and accountable to its residents. In exchange for these and other benefits to the City, Developer will receive assurance that the Project may be developed during the Term of this Agreement in accordance with the Applicable Rules, Project Approvals and other Discretionary Actions, and the Reserved Powers, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
5.4. Applicability of the Agreement. This Agreement does not (a) grant height, density or intensity in excess of that otherwise established in the Applicable Rules and the Project Approvals; (b) eliminate future Discretionary Actions relating to the Project if applications requiring such Discretionary Action are initiated and submitted by the Owner of the Property after the Effective Date of this Agreement; (c) guarantee that Developer will receive any profits from the Project; (d) prohibit the Project’s participation in any benefit assessment district that is generally applicable to surrounding properties; (e) amend the General Plan or Specific Plan No. 22, or (f) amend the City’s Planning and Zoning Code (Title 9).

Owner represents that it has a legal or equitable interest in the Property and that all other persons holding legal or equitable interests in the Property (excepting owners or claimants in easements) agree to be bound by this agreement. The Parties intend and determine that the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute covenants which shall run with said Property, and the burdens and benefits hereof shall bind and inure to all successors in interest to the Parties hereto.

It is the intent of Developer and the City to cure that deficiency by expressly acknowledging and providing that any future City action that purports to limit over time the rate or timing of development or to alter the sequencing of development phases (whether adopted or imposed by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum process) shall not apply to the Project and shall not prevail over this Agreement. In particular, but without limiting any of the foregoing, no numerical restriction shall be placed by the City on the amount of total square feet or the number of buildings, structures, residential units that can be built each year on the Property except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
The Project shall be completed within the Term unless extended pursuant to this Agreement. Owner intends to submit plans for building permits within the first year of the Term, subject to unforeseen delays.

If, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of notice from City specifying the manner in which Owner has failed to so comply, Owner does not commence all steps reasonably necessary to comply as required and/or thereafter diligently and with continuity pursue such steps to cure the default, then Owner shall be deemed to be in default under the terms of this Agreement and City may seek to terminate this Agreement providing Owner an opportunity to be heard before the City Council in accordance with Government Code Section 65865.1 and TOMC Section 9-11.14(b), or seek other remedies as set forth in this Agreement.

monetary damages under or with respect to this Agreement or the application thereof.
The Parties agree and recognize that, as a practical matter, it may not be possible to determine an amount of monetary damages that would adequately compensate Owner for its investment of time and financial resources in planning to arrive at the kind, location, intensity of use, and improvements for the Project, nor to calculate the consideration the City would require to enter into this Agreement to justify the exposure. Therefore, the Parties agree that each of the Parties may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for any breach of any provision of this Agreement, except that neither Party nor any Transferee shall be liable in monetary damages and the Parties covenant not to sue for or claim any monetary damages for the breach of any provision of this Agreement. The Parties understand and agree, however, that nothing in this Section 14.4 shall prohibit, restrict, or otherwise affect the rights of a Party to seek monetary damages as a result of Owner's failure to make the required Benefit Payments or pay to the City any other required payments under this Agreement. If Owner fails to make the Public Benefit Payments as required by this Agreement, the City shall be entitled to sue for the City's actual, direct monetary damages in the amount of such unpaid Benefit Payments. In no event shall either Party be entitled to special, consequential, or punitive damages or damages measured by lost profits.
14.5. Commencement of Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may initiate legal action to cure, correct, or remedy any default, to enforce any covenants or agreements herein, to enjoin any threatened or attempted violation hereof, to recover damages or any default, or to obtain any other remedies consistent with the purpose of this Agreement. Venue for such action shall be in Ventura County.
15. Waivers and Delay.
15.1. Waiver. Failure by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other Party, and failure by a Party to exercise its rights upon a default by the other Party hereto, shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s right to demand strict compliance by such other Party in the future.
15.2. Third Parties. Non-performance shall not be excused because of a failure of a third person, except as provided in Subsection 15.4.
15.3. Covenant Not to Sue. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer hereby agrees that neither Developer nor any of its agents, employees, representatives, members, managers, officers, assigns, heirs and successors in interest shall commence, prosecute, assist, promote or encourage, financially or otherwise, either individually or in any collective way, either directly or indirectly, either on its own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, any arbitration, litigation or any other judicial proceeding of any kind, nature or description against or involving the City challenging that any applicable conditions, mitigation measures, obligations, requirements or restrictions contained in the Agreement violate any California statutory requirements, constitute an abuse of the police power, violate Item No. 8A
cdd:600-60\420-46\City Council Ord-02\pz (FILE ID: DAGR 2021-70399)
substantive due process, deny equal protection of the laws, constitute or result in a taking of property without payment of just compensation, or impose an unlawful fee, or exaction or tax. Nothing in this Section shall prevent Developer from exercising its rights under Section 14, above, with respect to a default by the City.
15.4. Force Majeure. The Parties shall not be deemed to be in default of any provision of this Agreement where failure or delay in performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement is caused by floods, earthquakes, other Acts of God, fires, wars, riots or similar hostilities, pandemic, states of emergency, stay-at-home orders, strikes and other labor difficulties, or similar events and occurrences beyond the Parties’ control. If any such events shall occur, the terms of this Agreement and the time for performance by a Party of any of its obligations hereunder shall be extended by the period of time that such events prevented performance of the obligation. To assist the Parties in determining the period of time for excusable delay, the Parties may refer to federal, State, and local orders, including health orders, adopted by any of the various agencies that directly impact this Project and the Parties’ ability to either work on the Project or process permits.
15.5. Nexus/Reasonable Relationship Challenges. Notwithstanding Subsection 15.1, Owner consents to, and waives any rights it may have now or in the future to bring a nexus/reasonable relationship challenge relating to the legal validity of (1) the express conditions, requirements, policies, rules, regulations or programs required by City’s Applicable Laws, including City’s General Plan, TOMC, Subdivision Map Act regulations, Specific Plan No. 22, Residential Planned Development rules and regulations, and Oak/Landmark Tree Preservation rules and regulations as they exist on the Agreement Date as to the Project; or (2) this Agreement, including without limitation, any claim that the Agreement constitutes an abuse of the police power, violates substantive due process, denies equal protection of the laws, constitutes or results in a taking of property without payment of just compensation, or imposes an unlawful fee, exaction, or tax.
15.6. Cooperation by Owner. Owner will, in a timely manner, provide City with all documents, applications, plans, and other information necessary for City to carry out its obligations hereunder, and cause Owner’s planners, engineers, and all other consultants to submit in a timely manner all required materials and documents, therefore.
Owner shall also apply in a timely manner for such other permits and approvals from other governmental or quasi-governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Property as may be required for the development of the Project.

17. Cooperation in the Event of Legal Challenge.
17.1. Challenges to Agreement. In the event of any legal action instituted by a third party, including but not limited to any other governmental entity or official, challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement, City and Owner hereby agree to use reasonable efforts to cooperate in defending such action. Each Party shall bear their own costs and attorney’s fees in defending any such third-party challenge to the Agreement, except that the Parties may by mutual written consent agree to joint legal representation in any such suit, the cost of which shall be equally shared between City and Owner. In the event of any litigation challenging this Agreement, or any portion hereof, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while such litigation, including any appellate review, is pending.
17.2. Challenges to Entitlements. In the event of any administrative, legal, or equitable action or other proceeding instituted by any person or entity not a party to the Agreement challenging any entitlement issued in reliance upon City approvals or challenging the sufficiency of any environmental review of this Project (each an “Entitlement Challenge”), each Party must cooperate in the defense of such Entitlement Challenge, in accordance with this Section. Owner agrees to pay City’s costs of defending an Entitlement Challenge, including all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by City in defense of any Entitlement Challenge, as well as the time of the City’s staff spent in connection with such defense, and any costs and attorneys’ fees awarded against the City to a successful third party. Owner may select its own legal counsel to represent Owner’s interests in any Entitlement Challenge at Owner’s sole cost and expense. City agrees that it will not enter into a settlement agreement to any Entitlement Challenge without Owner’s written consent. Owner’s obligation to pay City’s costs in the defense of an Entitlement Challenge does not extend to those costs incurred on appeal filed by City as against a successful third party unless otherwise authorized by Owner in writing.
17.3. City’s Right to Independent Legal Evaluation. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as preventing City from independently evaluating its rights, obligations and causes of action in the event of litigation.
18. Transfers and Assigns.
18.1. Transfers in General. Owner shall have the right to sell, assign or transfer (collectively “transfer”) this Agreement, and any and all of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder, to any person or entity at any time during the term of this Agreement, provided, however, in no event shall the rights, duties and obligations conferred upon Owner pursuant to this Agreement be at any time so transferred to or assigned except through a transfer of Owner's interest in the Property or a portion thereof.
18.2. City Review of Proposed Transfer. Prior to any such proposed transfer, Owner shall provide a Notice of Transfer to City, including the name, net worth, and development experience of the transferee. Any such transfer to an entity whose Item No. 8A
cdd:600-60\420-46\City Council Ord-02\pz (FILE ID: DAGR 2021-70399)
development experience confirms the transferee's ability to develop a project comparable in size and complexity to the Project shall be approved by the Community Development Director. Unless agreed to in writing, if Owner transfers the rights under the Agreement before the Project is completely constructed, the subsequent Owner will be required to build or complete the construction of the Project based on the architectural plans approved by City and under the same entitlement conditions previously approved, subject to any changes proposed consistent with subsections 10.1 and 10.2 above. The Director may require the submittal of reasonable documentation regarding the information provided relative to the proposed transferee. Any proposed transferee shall provide City all documents within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the Director’s request that support a finding transferee has the requisite experience and the financial stability to develop the Project or respective portion thereof. The Community Development Director may withhold approval of such transfer only if the proposed transferee fails to provide requested document to the Director in the time set forth above, the Director determines with reasonable discretion that the transfer would be to an entity that has not had experience developing projects of comparable size and complexity to the Project, or the entity does not have sufficient net worth and financial fitness to carry out the Project, provided that the Community Development Director's approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. City shall notify Owner in writing of the Community Development Director’s approval or disapproval of the transferee within thirty (30) days of City's receipt of Owner's Notice of Transfer and all supporting information requested by the Director regarding the proposed transferee. Failure by City to notify Owner within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute the Community Development Director's approval of such transferee. Owner shall have the right to appeal the determination of the Community Development Director to the City Council within ten days of the Director’s determination.
18.3. Transfer to Lender. Nothing contained in this Section 18 shall prevent a transfer of the Property, or any portion thereof, to an institutional lender as a result of a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and any lender acquiring the Property, or any portion thereof, as a result of foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure shall take such Property subject to the rights and obligations of Owner under this Agreement; provided, however, that, in no event shall such lender be liable for any defaults or monetary obligations of Owner arising prior to acquisition of title to the Property by such lender and, provided further that, in no event shall any such lender or its successors or assigns be entitled to a building permit or occupancy clearance for which the applicable permits have not been issued and/or fees have not been paid to City.
18.4. Conditions of Transfer. The sale, transfer or assignment of Owner's rights and interests under this Agreement may be permitted only if (a) Owner is not then in default under this Agreement; (b) Owner has provided to City notice of such transfer; and (c) the transferee executes and delivers to City a written agreement in which (1) the name and address of the transferee is set forth; and (2) the transferee expressly and unconditionally assumes all the obligations of Owner under this Agreement with respect to the Property and Project or with respect to the portion of the Property and Project that is being transferred.

The holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security arrangement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, shall not be obligated under this Agreement to construct or complete improvements or to guarantee such construction or completion, but shall otherwise be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to construe, permit, or authorize any such holder to devote the Property, or any portion thereof, to any uses, or to construct any improvements thereon, other than those uses, and improvements provided for or authorized by this Agreement, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
18.6. Reorganization of Owner’s Business Structure Exception. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to constitute or require City consent to an assignment that consists solely of a reorganization of the Developer’s business structure, such as (i) any sale pledge, assignment or other transfer of all or a portion of the Project Site to an entity directly controlled by Developer or its affiliates and (ii) any change in Developer entity form, such as a transfer from a corporation to a limited liability company or partnership, that does not affect or change beneficial ownership of the Project Site; provided, however, in such event, Developer shall provide to City written notice, together with such backup materials or information reasonably requested by City, within thirty (30) days following the date of such reorganization or City’s request for back up information, as applicable.
19. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of Owner and City and not for the benefit of any other party. There shall be no incidental or other beneficiaries of any of Owner’s or City’s obligations under this Agreement.
20. Severability. If any terms, provisions, conditions or covenants in this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Party or circumstances, shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such terms, provisions, conditions or covenants to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

23.4. Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. Neither Party shall do anything which shall have the effect of harming or injuring the right of the Party to receive the benefits of this Agreement; each Party shall refrain from doing anything which should render its performance under this Agreement impossible; and each Party shall do everything which this Agreement contemplates that such Party shall do in order to accomplish the objectives and purposes of this Agreement.
23.5. Estoppel Certificates. Either Party may, at any time, and from time to time, deliver written notice to the other Party requesting such Party to certify in writing that, to the knowledge of the certifying Party, (a) this Agreement is in full force and effect and a binding obligation of the Parties; (b) this Agreement has not been amended or modified or, if so amended or modified, identifying the amendments or modifications; and (c) the requesting Party is not in default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or if in default, to describe therein the nature and extent of any such defaults.
The requesting Party may designate a reasonable form of certificate (including a lender’s form) and the Party receiving a request hereunder shall execute and return such certificate or give a written, detailed response explaining why it will not do so within fifteen (15) days following the receipt thereof. The City Manager, or his or her designee, shall be authorized to execute any certificate requested by Developer hereunder. Developer and City acknowledge that a certificate hereunder may be relied upon by tenants, transferees, investors, lenders, partners, bond counsel, underwriters, and other mortgagees. The request shall clearly indicate that failure of the receiving Party to respond within the fifteen (15) day period will lead to a second and final request and failure to respond to the second and final request within five (5) days of receipt thereof shall be deemed approval of the estoppel certificate. Failure of City or Developer to execute an estoppel certificate shall not be deemed a default.

25. Equitable Servitudes and Covenants Running with the Land. Any successors in interest to City and Developer shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 65865.4 and 65868.5 of the California Government Code.

Each covenant to do, or refrain from doing, some act with regard to the development of the Property: (a) is for the benefit of and is a burden upon the Property; (b) runs with the Property and each portion thereof; and (c) is binding upon each Party and each successor in interest during ownership of the Property or any portion thereof.
Nothing herein shall waive or limit the provisions of Section 18, and no successor owner of the Property, any portion of it, or any interest in it shall have any rights except those assigned to the successor by the developer in writing pursuant to Section 18. In any event, no owner or tenant of an individual completed residential unit within Project shall have any rights under this Agreement.

28.1. Duty to Hold Harmless, Defend and Indemnify. Excepting as to the extent any loss, property damage or injury arose from the City’s or the City’s officers’, agents’, employees’, or contractors’ breach of this Agreement, or their acts of negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Developer Item No. 8A
cdd:600-60\420-46\City Council Ord-02\pz (FILE ID: DAGR 2021-70399)
hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold City, its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents and employees harmless from any liability for damage or claims for damage for personal injury, including death, as well as from claims for property damage arising from this Agreement or alleged to have been caused by Developer or Developer’s contractors, subcontractors, agents or employees operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by Developer, or by any of Developer’s contractors, subcontractors, or by any one or more persons directly or indirectly employed by or acting as agent for Developer or any of Developer’s contractors or subcontractors.
Developer further agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers and employees, from any third-party claim, action or proceeding against the City or its officers or employees to set aside, void, or annul, all or any part of this Agreement or any Project Approval.
In the event any claim, action, or proceeding is instituted against City, and/or its officers, agents, and employees, by any third party on account of the processing, approval, or implementation of the Project Approvals and/or this Agreement, then the Parties shall comply with Section 17. As an alternative to defending any such action, Developer may request that the City rescind any approved land use entitlement. The City will promptly notify Developer of any known claims, actions, or similar proceedings, and will cooperate fully in the defense thereof.
29. Prevailing Wages. Without limiting the foregoing, Owner acknowledges the requirements of California Labor Code §1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000 et seq. (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects, as defined. If on-site or offsite improvements pursuant to this Agreement are being performed by Developer as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation under the contract in question is $1,000 or more, Developer agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Developer understands and agrees that it is Developer’s obligation to determine if Prevailing Wages apply to work done on the Project or any portion of the Project. Upon Developer’s request, the City shall provide a copy of the then current prevailing rates of per diem wages.
Developer shall defend, indemnify, and hold the city, its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure by Developer to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws associated with any “public works” or “maintenance” projects associated with Project development.

This Agreement and any amendment or cancellation hereof shall be recorded in the Official Records of Ventura County by the Clerk of City within ten (10) days after the Agreement Effective Date and within ten (10) days after any amendment or cancellation hereof.

cdd:420-46/Resolution-PC/pz {FILE ID: DP 2021-70214)
Item No. 8A
2. Based on all written and oral evidence and testimony in the record, the project EIR (a) complies with the requirements of CEQA and adequately identifies and considers all potential significant environmental effects of the General Plan Amendment; Zoning Change; Specific Plan; Development Agreement; Development Permit; Lot Line Adjustment; and Protected Tree Permit, and (b) reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis.
3. The project EIR identified certain environmental effects of the project that may remain significant and unavoidable, due to noise resulting from temporary vibration and construction, despite recommended mitigation measures. However, certain considerations and public benefits of the project outweigh these unavoidable adverse effects and justify and support accepting those effects and approving the project, as described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations included in the CEQA Findings.
4. The Planning Commission has considered additional mitigation measures that might reduce or avoid such significant impacts, and the Commission has determined that they are either not available or not feasible. The project FEIR evaluated alternatives to the project that might reduce or avoid such significant impacts, which the Planning Commission has considered, and the Commission has determined that there are no feasible alternatives that accomplish all or most of the objectives for the project, and the proposed project is the best alternative that can be feasibly implemented taking into consideration the relevant economic, legal, social, technological and other reasons and public benefits of the project.
5. The project MMRP describes the mitigation measures recommended by the EIR to reduce and avoid potential significant effects of the project, and adequately identifies the appropriate timing and enforcement details for each to ensure each mitigation measure is implemented.
6. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council (a) adopt and make the CEQA Findings and certify the FEIR as legally adequate under CEQA as to each development application associated with the project, (b) determine that identified considerations and public benefits outweigh significant unavoidable adverse environmental effects and that mitigation measures and alternatives which might reduce or avoid such effects are not feasible, and adopt the Statement of Overriding Considerations to support its approval of each development application associated with the project, and (c) adopt the MMRP and incorporate its provisions as conditions of approval for each of the development application associated with the project to the extent appropriate.

Item No. 8A
SECTION 3
WHEREAS, the finding of the Planning Commission supporting approval of said LU 2021-70215 is as follows:
1. The General Plan amendment is consistent with the Thousand Oaks Land Use Element of the General Plan, as proposed to be amended, in that the subject property will be designated as Commercial/Residential Land Use category and located within the proposed SP-22, which allows the proposed mixed-use and multi-family residential uses.

2. The proposed zone change will re-designate approximately 10.97-acres of land from Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) to the Thousand Oaks Ranch Specific Plan-22 (SP-22). Upon adoption of the zone change, the subject project will meet this finding because the proposed General Plan land use designation for this property is "Commercial/Residential," and the development type and uses proposed conform to the General Plan designation. This designation permits commercial uses, residential uses, or a combination of both commercial and residential. The proposed project includes commercial and residential development on the site. Further, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan goals to provide opportunities "enabling commercial, industrial and residential development to flourish in an efficient and compatible manner." The proposed specific plan is in alignment with Thousand Oaks General Plan goals and policies.
Therefore, the proposed Zone Change and project meets this finding.
3. The proposed project was reviewed for conformance with the provisions of the CEQA. For this application, the City is the Lead Agency and, on behalf of the Applicant, the Planning Commission is being asked to recommend to City Council the adoption of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) cdd:420-46/Resolution-PC/pz (FILE ID: DP 2021-70214)
Item No. 8A
that was prepared for the project. The Final EIR identifies where all areas listed as potentially significant have been mitigated to levels that are no longer significant, through the inclusion of mitigation measures, which the applicant shall comply with under the proposed conditions of approval.
In order to approve the proposed project with significant and unavoidable impacts due to noise resulting from temporary vibration and construction, the City Council must adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations. This is a specific finding required by CEQA that the Project includes substantial benefits that outweigh its adverse environmental impact and is adapted to fit local conditions and priorities. The proposed development and Specific Plan benefits include revitalization of the blighted commercial center, economic investment, new housing, opportunities for more affordable housing, proximity of work opportunities to housing opportunities, proximity of work opportunities to public transit, creation of a walkable district and enhanced public realm, generation of revenue and various other community benefits.

Public Resources Code shall in turn be subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Department.
22. BI0-1 Bat and Nesting Bird Survey Avoidance: Project-related activities shall occur outside of the bird breeding season (generally between January 1 through September 15) to the extent practicable. If construction must occur within the bird breeding season, no more than seven days prior to initiation of ground-disturbing activities (including, but not limited to site preparation, grading, excavation, and trenching) within the proposed project site, a bird pre-construction bird nest survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist within the disturbance footprint plus a 100-foot buffer (300-foot for raptors), where feasible. If the proposed project is phased or construction activities stop for more than one week, a subsequent preconstruction nesting bird survey shall be required within three days prior to each phase of construction.
Pre-construction nesting bird surveys shall be conducted during the time of day when birds are active and shall factor in sufficient time to perform this survey adequately and completely. During the nest survey, the biologist shall inspect the outside and inside of the vacant structures for sign of roosting bats, such as presence of guano or direct observations. A report of the bat and nesting bird survey results, if applicable, shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to ground and/or vegetation disturbance activities.
If bird nests are found, an appropriate avoidance buffer ranging in size from 25 to 50 feet for passerines, and up to 300 feet for raptors depending upon the species and the proposed work activity, shall be determined and demarcated by a qualified biologist with bright orange construction fencing or other suitable material. Active nests shall be monitored at a minimum of once per week until it has been determined that the young have fledged the nest. No ground disturbance or vegetation removal shall occur within this buffer until the qualified biologist confirms that breeding/nesting has ended, and all the young have fledged. If no nesting birds are observed during preconstruction surveys, no further actions would be necessary.
If evidence of bat roosting is observed, building demolition shall not be allowed until a qualified biologist can verify that the roost is no longer active.
If necessary, bats may be evicted and building demolished following submittal and approval of a Bat Avoidance Plan by CDFW. cdd:420-46/Resolution-PC/pz (FILE ID: DP 2021-70214)

23. BIO 2 Minimize Impacts to Protected Trees: The project shall take all necessary actions to comply with the requirements of the City's Oak Tree Preservation and Protection Guidelines and Oak and Landmark Tree Ordinance. These include preserving protected trees located on the project site whenever possible. A permit is required by the City before the start of project activities if any tree will be trimmed, cut, or removed.
In accordance with the City of Thousand Oaks Tree Protection Guidelines the oak trees on the project site that would be removed shall be replaced at a ratio of 3: 1 with two 24-inch box coast live oak trees and one 36-inch or 60-inch box coast live oak tree. Three coast live oak trees will be removed; therefore, nine coast live oak trees shall be planted onsite.
An arborist shall conduct an inspection of diseases, pests or pathogens prior to protected tree removal and any infected trees be disposed using best available management practices relevant for each tree disease observed.
Section 5, Oak and Landmark Tree Protection Plan, of the Oak and Landmark Tree Report (Rincon, 2022c [Appendix C]) shall be implemented to minimize project-related impacts to oak and landmark trees that would be preserved prior to, and during, construction activities.
24. CUL-1 Archaeological Resource Discover Patrol: If archaeological deposits are encountered during project-related ground disturbing activities, then a cultural resource "discovery" protocol will be followed. If historic or prehistoric features or artifact concentrations are encountered during project grading within native soils or original context, then all work in that area will be halted or diverted 30 feet away from the discovery until a qualified archaeologist is contacted and evaluates the nature and/or significance of the find(s). If the discovery is prehistoric in origin, a Native American representative will be contacted to participate in the evaluation. If an archaeologist confirms that the discovery is potentially significant, then the Lead/Permitting Agency will be contacted and informed of the discovery.
Construction will not resume in the locality of the discovery until consultation between the qualified archaeologist, the Applicant's project manager, the Lead/Permitting Agency, and any other concern parties (such as additional regulatory agencies or Native American Tribal Groups), takes place and reaches a conclusion approved by the Lead/Permitting Agency.

avoided, data recovery of the significant resource may be required by the City. The City may also require site monitoring, based on the discovery. All individual reports will be submitted to the SCCIC at the conclusion of the project.
25. CUL-2 Inadvertent Discovery of Human Remains: The inadvertent discovery of human remains is always a possibility during ground disturbances; State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 addresses this possibility. This code section states that in the event human remains are uncovered, no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination as to the origin and disposition of the remains pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98. The County Coroner must be notified of the find immediately, along with the Lead/Permitting Agency and the Applicant.
If the human remains are determined to be prehistoric, the County Coroner will notify the NAHC, which will determine and notify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of being granted access. The Lead/Permitting Agency and a qualified archaeologist shall also establish additional appropriate mitigation measures for further site construction, in consultation with the MLD.
26. GE0-1a Geotechnical Recommendations: The geotechnical recommendations contained in the 2005 Twining Geotechnical Report shall be fully implemented. Among the study recommendations are specific parameters relating to:
• Foundation Design - over-excavation and compaction for foundations, soil stabilization, shoring, etc., conducted as indicated in the geotechnical report.
• Structural Fills - the applicant shall comply with the recommendations contained in the Twining September 13, 2005 geotechnica_l report regarding site preparation. This includes overexcavating on-site soils so that new foundations are supported on a minimum of two feet of engineered fill or engineered fill extending to a depth of five feet below preconstruction site grades, whichever provides the deeper fill. These recommendations shall be fully implemented in order to comply with UBC standards and would reduce impacts to a less than significant level.

• Structural Footings - minimum footing embedment depths, widths, and net vertical soil bearing pressures.
• Concrete Slabs - testing of exposed subgrades prior to concrete pours, reinforcement of concrete slabs, use of moisture barriers or sand layers beneath slabs.
• Site Preparation - compliance with SWPPP and SWPCP
requirements.
Additionally, the 2021 Gorian report recommended the following site design features:
• Positive drainage should be continuously maintained away from structures and slopes. Ponding or trapping of water in localized areas near the foundations can cause differential moisture levels in subsurface soils. Plumbing leaks should be immediately repaired so that the subgrade soils underlying the structure do not become saturated.
• Trees and large shrubbery should not be planted where roots can grow under foundations and flatwork when they mature.
• Landscape watering should be held to a minimum; however, landscaped areas should be maintained in a uniformly moist condition and not allowed to dry-out. During extreme hot and dry periods, adequate watering should be provided to keep soil from separating or pulling back from the foundations.
Prior to the issuance of grading permits, a qualified Geotechnical Engineer retained by the applicant shall provide evidence to the City of Thousand Oaks Engineer that the geotechnical mitigation measure GEO-1 a is implemented as described above.
27. GE0-1 b Geotechnical Oversight: A qualified Geotechnical Engineer shall be retained to perform the following tasks prior to and during construction:
• Review final grading, foundation, and drainage plans to verify that the recommendations contained in the 2005 Twining study have been properly interpreted and are incorporated into the project specifications.

• Observe and advise during all grading activities, including site preparation, foundation and retaining wall excavation, and placement of fill, to confirm that suitable fill materials are placed upon competent material and to allow design changes if subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of grading and construction.
• Observe the installation of all drainage devices.
• Test all fill placed for engineering purposes to confirm that suitable fill materials are used and properly compacted.
The qualified Geotechnical Engineer shall provide evidence to the City of Thousand Oaks Engineer that the geotechnical mitigation measure GEO1 bis implemented as described above.
28. GE0-2 Site Preparation: Based on the nature of the subsurface soil conditions, it should be anticipated that unstable soil conditions would be encountered during excavation and installation of slabs-on-grade, foundations, utilities, etc. Therefore, the soils may require stabilization. Soils shall be stabilized in accordance with the Twining Report (2005), including the procedures in the Appendices for Chemical Treatment of Soil.
Stabilization of the subgrade soils shall be performed in a uniform manner.
If stabilization of the subgrade soils is necessary, it shall be performed in the entire building area, including the overbuild zone. Additionally, all recommendations provided in the Gorian Report (2021) regarding soil expansiveness shall be implemented, evidence of implementation shall be provided to the City engineer prior to the issuance of a grading permit.
29. GE0-3 Paleontological Resources Monitoring and Mitigation:
Qualified Paleontologist. The project applicant shall retain a Qualified Paleontologist to direct all mitigation measures related to paleontological resources. A qualified professional paleontologist is defined by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) standards (SVP 2010) as an individual preferably with an M.S. or Ph.D. in paleontology or geology who is experienced with paleontological procedures and techniques, who is knowledgeable in the geology of California, and who has worked as a paleontological mitigation project supervisor for a least two years (SVP 2010).

Paleontological Worker Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to the start of construction, the Qualified Paleontologist or their designee shall conduct a paleontological Worker Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training for construction personnel regarding the appearance of fossils and the procedures for notifying paleontological staff should fossils be discovered by construction staff.
Paleontological Monitoring. Full-time paleontological monitoring shall be conducted during ground disturbing construction activities (i.e., grading, trenching, foundation work) within native (i.e., previously undisturbed) sediments of any depth in the lower Monterey Formation and depths greater than five feet in Quaternary alluvium. Ground disturbing activities that only impact artificial fill (i.e., previously disturbed) sediments do not require paleontological monitoring. Paleontological monitoring shall be conducted by a qualified paleontological monitor, who is defined as an individual who has experience with collection and salvage of paleontological resources and meets the minimum standards of the SVP (2010) for a Paleontological Resources Monitor. The duration and timing of the monitoring will be determined by the Qualified Paleontologist based on the observation of the geologic setting from initial ground disturbance, and subject to the review and approval by the City of Thousand Oaks. If the Qualified Paleontologist determines that full-time monitoring is no longer warranted, based on the specific geologic conditions once the full depth of excavations has been reached, they may recommend that monitoring be reduced to periodic spotchecking or ceased entirely. Monitoring shall be reinstated if any new ground disturbances are required, and reduction or suspension shall be reconsidered by the Qualified Paleontologist at that time. In the event of a fossil discovery by the paleontological monitor or construction personnel, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall cease. A Qualified Paleontologist shall evaluate the find before restarting construction activity in the area. If it is determined that the fossil(s) is (are) scientifically significant, the Qualified Paleontologist shall complete the following conditions to mitigate impacts to significant fossil resources:
a. Salvage of Fossils. If fossils are discovered, the paleontological monitor shall have the authority to halt or temporarily divert construction equipment within 50 feet of the find until the monitor and/or lead paleontologist evaluate the discovery and determine if the fossil may be considered significant. Typically, fossils can be safely salvaged quickly by a single paleontologist and not disrupt construction activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such as complete skeletons or large mammal fossils) require more extensive cdd:420-46/Resolution-PC/pz (FILE ID: DP 2021-70214)

excavation and longer salvage periods. Bulk matrix sampling may be necessary to recover small invertebrates or microvertebrates from within paleontologically sensitive deposits.
b. Preparation and Curation of Recovered Fossils. Once salvaged, significant fossils shall be identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level, prepared to a curation-ready condition, and curated in a scientific institution with a permanent paleontological collection, along with all pertinent field notes, photos, data, and maps. Fossils of undetermined significance at the time of collection may also warrant curation at the discretion of the Qualified Paleontologist.
Final Paleontological Mitigation Report. Upon completion of ground disturbing activity (and curation of fossils if necessary) the Qualified Paleontologist shall prepare a final report describing the results of the paleontological monitoring efforts associated with the project. The report shall include a summary of the field and laboratory methods, an overview of the project geology and paleontology, a list of taxa recovered (if any), an analysis of fossils recovered (if any) and their scientific significance, and recommendations. The report shall be submitted to the City of Thousand Oaks. If the monitoring efforts produced fossils, then a copy of the report shall also be submitted to the designated museum repository.
30. HAZ-1 Regulatory Agency Notification and Approval: Prior to the issuance of any demolition or grading permits, the project applicant shall contact the Ventura County Environmental Health Division (VCEHD) to discuss the proposed redevelopment project, the proposed change to residential land use, the known hazardous material soil, soil vapor, and groundwater impacts onsite, and the adjacent closed release case at 395 Hampshire Road (Shell Station - Case #02004 ). The project applicant shall provide VCEHD with the proposed site use plans regarding the conversion of commercial land use to residential land use and discuss the onsite presence of groundwater impacted by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at the proposed residential development.
