Standards of Rehabilitation
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property that requires minimal alteration of the building structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure, or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time.
Alterations which have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes, which may have taken place in the course of time, are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment. These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship, which characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, wherever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historical, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other buildings or structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible.
Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve archeological resources affected by, or adjacent to any acquisition, protection, stabilization, preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, or reconstruction project.

Dear City Council,
The Mills Act has been a huge benefit to homeowners in the City of Upland since it was implemented allowing for the preservation and restoration of Upland’s historic homes. In turn this enhances the Cities property values, which means higher values in the future that will bring in more tax revenue for the City.
Upland Heritage fully supports the Mills Act for the following homes: 509 and 1388 N Euclid Avenue, 637 N 2nd Avenue, 140 S Euclid Avenue, and 2390 N San Antonio Avenue.
The Mills Act is a great tool to entice homeowners to improve their homes as well as their communities. Upland Heritage supports the Mills Act and hopes that the City will continue their support as well. Please approve the above listed Mills Act Applications.
Best Regards,
Kati Parker
Upland Heritage President

D. Expiration Date: ____________ ___, 202_.
E. Rent: The sum of _$9,000__________ Dollars and NO/100 ($_____) per month [________, Dollars and NO/100 ($_____) per parking space. Beginning on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, and each year of the Term thereafter, Rent and CAM Charges (as such term is defined in Section Error! Reference source not found.) shall increase annually at the end of each 12-month period by any increase in the Consumer Price Index as determined by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for all Urban Consumers for the Riverside/San Bernardino/Ontario Metropolitan Area over the previous year. Should the CPI be discontinued, the index used for comparison shall be a comparable index as designated by the Bureau. It is recognized by both parties that the Index for any month is not published for approximately two months. Tesla shall, therefore, continue to pay the current rental paid by Tesla until such time as the new rental is calculated and, at that time, Tesla shall pay within ten (10) days of notice of the new Rent the new amount plus arrearages. In no event shall Rent ever decrease below the prior year’s Rent even if the CPI is negative. In such event, the Rent shall remain the same.

3. Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord the Rent as rent for the Premises. Any partial month of Rent will be prorated.

D. Form of Policies and Additional Requirements. The insurance requirements set forth above are independent of Tenant’s waiver, indemnification, and other obligations under this Lease and shall not be construed or interpreted in any way to restrict, limit or modify Tenant’s waiver, indemnification and other obligations or to in any way limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease. In addition to the requirements above, the insurance shall be maintained with responsible insurance carriers with a Best Insurance Reports rating of “A-“ or better or through a formal self- insurance mechanism that has either (a) a Best Insurance Reports rating of “A-“ or better; or (b) a financial size category of “VI” or higher, provided, that if such self-insurance program does not meet either (a) or (b), then Tenant’s use of self-insurance for the coverages herein shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Upon the execution of this Agreement and upon reasonable request by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate evidencing all policies procured by Tenant in compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Tenant or its insurance company shall provide Landlord with thirty (30) days' prior written notice if any coverage hereunder will be canceled (or 10 days' notice with respect to cancellation due to non-payment of premiums).
E. Waiver of Subrogation.

Waiver of subrogation shall not apply if Landlord is solely or grossly negligent.
F. Self-Insurance. So long as Tenant continues to be the tenant, or an Affiliate of the Tenant or the then Tenant hereunder, and has a tangible net worth equal to or greater than $100,000,000, as reasonably determined using sound accounting principles, Tenant may self-insure for the insurance required under this Lease. Tenant’s obligations and liabilities shall be the same as those that would otherwise exist if Tenant had purchased and maintained the policy or policies of insurance that are otherwise required under the terms of this Agreement.
15. Security. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is not responsible for providing security for the benefit of Tenant and that Tenant has sole responsibility for enacting any and all security measures that Tenant shall deem appropriate for the Premises,

at Tenant’s discretion. Tenant shall not be liable for or required to implement any security matters related to any areas outside of the Premises.
16. Casualty; Condemnation. Tenant may immediately terminate this Lease upon 30 days’ written notice if any portion of the Premises is taken for any public or quasi- public use or if the Property is damaged to the extent that Tenant is prevented from accessing the Premises or is prevented from using more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises. If at any time during the Lease, the Property is destroyed in whole or in part, not in excess of fifty percent (50%), by a casualty, not the fault of Landlord, Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall repair and restore the damage and all proceeds from the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant shall be made available to Tenant in connection with such repair and restoration. Tenant’s obligation for restoration described in this Section shall exist whether or not funds are available from insurance proceeds or are self-insured by Tenant. Rent shall not abate during any period of partial destruction, notwithstanding any event of Force Majeure.
17. Limitation on Liability: Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited and, accordingly, Tenant’s sole source of satisfaction of such liability shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in the Property, including rents and proceeds and any insurance proceeds, and Tenant shall not seek to obtain payment from Landlord or any person comprising Landlord or from any assets of Landlord other than those assets described herein. The limitation of this Section 16 shall not apply to or limit any injunctive or other equitable, declaratory or other forms of relief to which Tenant may be entitled (notwithstanding that such actions are in personam in nature).
18. Default: Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Lease:
A. Breach: The failure by Tenant to (i) make any payment of rent or any other payment required to be made hereunder within, three (3) business days after written notice from the other party that the same is due; or the failure of either party to (ii) perform or observe any material term or condition of this Agreement and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the other Party, provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and the defaulting Party commences to cure within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds with diligence and continuity, then such Party shall have additional time to cure as is reasonably required.
B. Bankruptcy; Insolvency: The appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant located at the Premises if possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days; or a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors; or any action
7 V 4.25.22 Cont. Hold/ST Parking Lot
TRT # ____
Click or tap here to enter text.
or proceeding is commenced by or against Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy act, or under any other statute or regulation having as its purpose the protection of creditors and, in the case of actions filed against Tenant, is not discharged within sixty (60) days.
19. Remedies. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that each Party shall have all remedies available at law or in equity if an Event of Default by the other Party has occurred and is continuing. In addition, if an Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is continuing, then Landlord, may: (a) continue this Agreement in effect by not terminating Tenant’s right to possession of said Premises and thereby be entitled to enforce all Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Agreement; or (b) bring an action to recover and regain possession of said Premises in the manner provided by the laws of eviction of the state where the Premises are located then in effect.
In addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease, provided that Landlord shall send Tenant a 2nd written notice prior to terminating this Lease and if Tenant fails to commence to cure the Event of Default within fifteen (15) days of the 2nd written notice, then Landlord may terminate this Agreement. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code, then Landlord may recover from Tenant: (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Primary Term (or the balance of an Extension Term) after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by a Tenant’s Default which in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom. As used in this Section 19, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate (defined below). As used in this Section 19, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
Landlord shall also have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has right to sublease or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). In the event of a Tenant Default, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to continue this Lease in full force and effect, whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In the event Landlord elects to continue this Lease in full force and effect pursuant to this Section, then

Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due.
All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Section and elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity, whether or not stated in this Lease. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect Tenant’s indemnification of Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease.
20. Exclusions. Tenant has disclosed that it will assume the risk of damage to its personal property and trade fixtures, and Landlord acknowledges and accepts such assumption. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord and as part of its obligations hereunder, assumes all risk of damage to any Incidental Equipment, and Tenant expressly releases Landlord and waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord, except for such claims that are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and its authorized representatives or as otherwise provided for herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party expressly releases the other from any claims for, speculative, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, including any lost sales or profits of the other Party.

26. Prevailing Wages. To the extent the Infrastructure or Incidental Equipment installed by Tenant may be considered a "public work," as defined in Labor Code§ 1720, et. seq., Tenant shall comply with the state prevailing wage law, California Labor Code §§ 1720 et seq. and 8 CCR§ 16000 et seq. for any "public work" (as that term is defined in the statutes) performed pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of compliance with prevailing wage law, Tenant shall comply with provisions applicable to an awarding body. Compliance with state prevailing wage law includes, without limitation, payment of at least prevailing rates as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations, overtime and working hour requirements, apprenticeship obligations, payroll record-keeping requirements, and other obligations as required by law.
27. Taxes. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the Landlord’s grant of non- exclusive use may be subject to property taxation and that Tenant may be subject to the payment of possessory interest tax levied on the grant of non-exclusive use pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 107.6. Tenant shall pay without abatement, deduction, or offset any possessory interest taxes levied on or assessed against the Premises and the Incidental Equipment which are directly attributable to Tenant’s use of the Premises, whether belonging, owned or chargeable against the City. Tenant shall make all such payments directly to the charging authority prior to delinquency and before any fine, interest, or penalt y becomes due or is imposed for Tenant's non-payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, have the right to challenge the assessment. Tenant shall provide Landlord with proof of payment of such tax.
28. Public Records Act. Tenant acknowledges Landlord is subject to the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code, Section 6250, et. seq.).

Tenant shall then have the time period specified in Landlord’s notice to determine whether it considers any of the information confidential proprietary information and whether it will take legal action to prevent disclosure of the requested information. Tenant acknowledges a request for records under the California Public Records Act will require prompt response from Tenant

given Landlord’s obligation to respond to such request within ten (10) days of its receipt of such request for records. Absent a timely response, Landlord shall release all of the requested records. Landlord shall have no monetary liability whatsoever to Tenant for release of information pursuant to a request under the California Public Records Act or any subpoena; nor shall Landlord be obligated to defend against any challenge related to a California Public Records Act request or a subpoena for records that Tenant asserts are confidential. Tenant further agrees to indemnify, hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, damages, and judgments, as well as attorney fees and costs, resulting from a challenge related to a records request or subpoena for records that Tenant asserts are confidential.
Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Section 28 shall survive the Termination Date..
29. Environmental Matters.

Tenant shall not bring and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any licensee or any third-party from bringing any Hazardous Materials onto the Property other than those used customarily in Tenant’s business operations and in all events in the quantities and in the manner prescribed by applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant agrees that it will indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for any and all costs, liabilities, investigations, damages and expenses, including any remediation costs or cleanup or corrective action expenses, associated with environmental contamination to the extent introduced by Tenant Parties. Tenant agrees that it is responsible for remediating environmental contamination to the extent introduced by Tenant Parties and required by the applicable government entity, but only to the extent required by Environmental Law.
C. Landlord Termination Option. If a Hazardous Materials violation occurs during the Term and is caused by a third party, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, either (i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at Landlord's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the estimated cost to remediate such condition exceeds fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), give written notice to Tenant of the estimate of the cost of remediation (the “Remediation Notice”) and Landlord’s willingness to proceed with remediation on a 50/50 sharing basis with Tenant for all costs to remediate, provided however, if Tenant does not elect to contribute to the costs of remediation within thirty (30) days receipt of the Remediation Notice, as described above, Landlord or Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days following the date of the Remediation Notice. Should Tenant elect to contribute to the remediation costs, Tenant shall provide Landlord with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UPLAND DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. Findings: Upland Municipal Code Section 17.48.060 provides that the approval body, before it may approve a Zoning Amendment, shall make a determination to allow the amendment based upon the following findings:
1. Finding: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable community or specific plan as provided by Government Code Section §65860.
Ordinance No.
Evidence: This Zoning Amendment is to amend the Zoning District of the project site from Office Professional (OP) to RS-7.5 Residential Single-Family Medium. Government Code Section §65860 requires a city's zoning ordinance to be consistent with the General Plan, therefore the project is consistent with Government Code Section §65860.
The amendment identifies consistency with the General Plan elements including the following goals and polices:

and livable residential neighborhoods.
Fact: 371 S. 2nd Avenue, 381 S. 2nd Avenue, 378 S. 1st
Avenue will be maintained as single-family residences,
ensuring their future preservation, ensuring a stable
residential community.
b. Focus Areas Element Policy FA-4.7: Housing. Provide a diverse range of housing types in the Southeast Quadrant that meet the needs of residents at all income levels.

neighborhood.
2. Finding: The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare of the City.
Evidence: The proposed Zoning Amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare because the amendment will result in residentially zoned land, consistent with the surrounding residential land uses, and the amendment will prohibit potential commercial uses allowed within the Office Professional (OP) zone that could present negative impacts the existing single-family neighborhood.
Furthermore, the project will preserve the existing community character as the amendment will result in the development of a currently vacant
Ordinance No.
parcel and eliminate legal non-conforming status of existing single- family dwellings.
3. Finding: The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, and other characteristics to ensure that the proposed uses and development will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property, surrounding properties, and the community at large.
Evidence: Three of the four parcels are currently fully developed with single-family residences, which currently do not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property, surrounding properties, and the community at large. The vacant parcel will allow for single-family residential construction consistent with the neighborhood.
The parcel is the typical size and shape of a single-family parcel, resulting adequate space on the lot to meet all residential development standards required for future development.
Section 3. Ordinance: Amending the Zoning Designation. The Zoning Designation of the following parcels shall be changed from Office Professional (OP) to Residential Single-Family Medium (RS-7.5) as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference:

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
UPLAND, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A DISPOSITION AND
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND REGULATORY
AGREEMENT FOR THE SALE OF CERTAIN CITY OWNED
REAL PROPERTY (APNs 1046-591-08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13)
TO CITY VENTURES HOMEBUILDING LLC, AND FINDING
THE SAME CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM CEQA REVIEW
WHEREAS, the City of Upland (“City”) currently owns in fee that certain real property, measuring approximately 42,980 square feet (0.99 Acres) in area, with Assessor Parcel Numbers: 1046-591-08, 09, 10, 11, 12, and 13 and located at the northwest corner of First Avenue and A Street in the Historic Downtown, more specifically described within Attachment A (“Site”); and WHEREAS, the City adopted Resolution No. 6563 declaring the Site as surplus land and not necessary for the City’s use; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 54220, et seq. (the “Surplus Land Act”) requires that prior to the disposal of any surplus land, unless an exemption applies, a local agency must provide notice to, among others, affordable housing developers and public agencies with jurisdiction over the site, and thereafter negotiate in good faith for ninety (90) days with any parties who submit a notice of interest; and
WHEREAS, two proposals were received during the negotiation period, but neither were financially feasible for the proposer and consistent with the requirements of the Surplus Land Act that 25% of housing units on site be deed- restricted affordable; and
WHEREAS, following the conclusion of the required negotiation period, the City was in a position to receive solicited/unsolicited development proposals for the Site provided the project included a minimum of 15% of total dwelling units affordable at low-income levels (80% or less of County Median Household Income) as required by the Surplus Land Act; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to sell the Site by entering into a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) with accompanying Regulatory Agreement (“RA”) with City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (“Purchaser”); and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Sections 37420 through 37430 authorize the City to dispose of property; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 37421 provides that when the legislative body of City finds that the public interest and convenience require the sale of public buildings and sites, it may adopt a resolution so finding and giving notice of its intention to sell such property; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 37422 provides that such resolution shall fix a time for hearing protests to the property conveyance, provide
Resolution No.
for publication of notice of the hearing, fix the time when the City will take final action regarding the property conveyance; and contain an accurate description of the property to be conveyed; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Government Code section 65402, the proposed disposition of the Site under the DDA was presented to the City’s Planning Commission ("Planning Commission") on May 25, 2022. At that meeting, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4963 finding that the disposition of the City- owned surplus property at the northwest corner of First Avenue and A Street, from City to Purchaser, is in conformity with the City’s General Plan; and WHEREAS, the City declared its intent to dispose of and convey the Site pursuant to the terms of a negotiated DDA and RA, fixed a time for the hearing of any protests to the disposition of Property for November 14, 2022, and published notice of said hearing, and fixed the time for final action on the disposition of the Site and approval of the Disposition and Development Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Purchase Price for the Site is One Million Two Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($1,290,000); and
WHEREAS, the Resolution of Intent to Sell approved on October 10, 2022 evidenced City initiation of the sale process to City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC of the Site, and all that remains is necessary approvals associated with that disposition process, including the November 14, 2022 protest hearing; and WHEREAS, the City, having heard protest, now desires to approve the execution of the DDA and RA; and
WHEREAS, the City Council’s consideration of this Resolution is not a project as defined in CEQA, and even if a project as defined, is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA for the reasons described herein.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Upland does hereby resolve, find, determine, and order as follows:
Section 1. RECITALS. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are hereby incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.
Section 2. CEQA FINDINGS. This resolution is exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15312 because approval of the DDA and accompanying RA involves the sale of surplus government property not located in an area of statewide, regional, or areawide concern identified in Section 15206(b)(4).
Under the terms of the DDA and RA, the agreement does not commit the developer to a particular project or commit the City to granting any discretionary approval. The City’s approval of the DDA does not constitute approval by the City of any development of the Property or of other activity on the Property that would have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect environmental impact pursuant to CEQA. (See 14 C.C.R. §§ 15060(c)(2); 15378(b).) Moreover, Developer’s future use or development of the Property is expressly conditioned on CEQA compliance.
Resolution No.
Section 3. PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY FINDINGS. The City Council of the City hereby finds and determines that public convenience and necessity require the sale of the Site. The factors demonstrating that the public convenience and necessity require the sale of the Site include but are not limited to the following:
the Site is not suitable for the City’s use, no longer needed by the City, and in excess of its foreseeable needs. Developing the Site for a higher use with a quality residential development, consistent with the Historic Downtown Upland Specific Plan, will revitalize an underutilized property, provide much needed housing in the City, including at least 15% low-income affordable units (5 units of the planned 29 total townhomes) that will assist City meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation, and create jobs within the City. Further, it will alleviate conditions of economic and physical blight in the City, and potentially create an increase in property taxes by virtue of rising values, all of which benefit the health, safety, and welfare of the City.
Section 4. APPROVAL. The City Council approves the DDA (attached as Attachment “B”) and accompanying RA (attached as Attachment “C”) with an effective date immediately following approval by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) that the City complied with its obligations under the Surplus Land Act consistent with State law, and with respect to the Property to be sold. The City Council authorizes the City Manager or designee, in consultation with the City Attorney, to take all necessary actions to effectuate the execution of the DDA and RA after that time and make any minor revisions to the documents necessary to effectuate the intent of the parties. The City Manager is directed to perform the obligations of the City under the DDA and RA.
Section 5. HEARING. As required by California Government Code section 37423, a duly noticed public hearing was held by the City on November 14, 2022 and the City Council approved the sale by four-fifths vote of its members pursuant to Government Code section 37425.
Section 6. NOTICE OF EXEMPTION. The City Council hereby directs staff to prepare, execute and file with the San Bernardino County Clerk a Notice of Exemption within five working days of the approval of this Resolution.
Section 7. CUSTODIAN OF DOCUMENTS. The custodian of documents constituting the record of proceedings for this matter is the City Clerk’s Office. The documents constituting the record of proceedings for this matter are located at City Hall at 460 N. Euclid Avenue, Upland, CA 91786.
Section 8. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Resolution is held invalid, the remainder of this Resolution shall not be affected by such invalidity, and the provisions of this Resolution are severable.
Section 9. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption, and the effective date of the DDA and RA condition on approval by HCD as set forth in Section 4 herein.
Resolution No.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 14th day of November, 2022.
Bill Velto, Mayor
I, Keri Johnson, City Clerk of the City of Upland, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 14th day of November, 2022, by the following vote:

1 This HOUSING DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is dated as of [___ ____, 2022] (“Date of Agreement”), for reference purposes only, and is entered into by and among the City of Upland, a municipal corporation, duly organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California (“City”), and City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Developer”). The City and the Developer are sometimes referred to in this Agreement, each individually, as a “Party,” or collectively, as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
This Agreement is entered into with reference to the following recitals of fact (“Recitals”) that City and Developer believe to be true as of the Effective Date of this Agreement:
A. The City is the owner of that certain real property located approximately at the northwest corner of First Avenue and A Street, Upland, California, with the following San Bernardino County Assessor Parcel Numbers: APNs: 1046-591-08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, and more specifically described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (“Property” or “Site”).
B. On August 10, 2020, the City Council declared the Site as surplus land and not necessary for the City’s use and authorized the sale of the properties. On August 17, 2020, a Notice of Availability was sent to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and housing sponsors, consistent with the Surplus Land Act.
C. On October 9, 2020, the Developer submitted a Notice of Interest to the City for the Site and shortly after, submitted a conceptual project proposal on November 12, 2020, to acquire and develop the Site into a residential project. Staff requested the Developer to resubmit their proposal illustrating a development with a minimum of 25% of the total units available at an affordable housing cost to comply with the Surplus Land Act. On December 29, 2020, Developer submitted a revised offer for the Site and proposed 27% of the units to be sold to affordable households, but shortly thereafter withdrew their revised proposal stating that after reevaluating the underwriting it was not financially feasible to move forward with a project containing 25% of the units to be sold at an affordable home value. Since no proposals were received consistent with the Surplus Land Act during the negotiation period, the City was in a position to receive any solicited/unsolicited development proposals, provided the project included a minimum of 15% of the dwelling units affordable to lower-income households. The City entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with the Developer for the Site on March 22, 2021. On May 18, 2021, Developer submitted financial capability documentation and a project proforma to the City relating to the Developer’s written proposal (“Developer Proposal”) to acquire the Property from the City.
46708.00203\34798630.14
DRAFT 11/09/22
2 D. The May 18, 2021 proposal was for acquisition and redevelopment of the Property as a residential for-sale community consisting of 29 three-story townhomes with an affordable housing component of not less than 15% of the units. The Project will be consistent with the land use designation for the Site under the General Plan, City’s zoning ordinance, and applicable specific plans, as may be amended from time to time. The Site is located within the Historic Downtown Upland Specific Plan with a land use designation of Old Town District and is within the First Avenue Overlay, which allows for the construction of up to 55-units per acre on the Site.
The Project is intended to consist of a residential for-sale community with 29 three-story townhomes, ranging between 1,300 square feet to 1,650 square feet in size and of the 29 units, proposing up to five (5) affordable units subject to a City Regulatory Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit H (“City Regulatory Agreement”) that will restrict up to five (5) of the units to households earning up to 80% of area median income consistent with the Surplus Land Act.
The Project is more particularly described, including the anticipated affordability level distribution, in the Scope of Development attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Project will be constructed on the land described on Exhibit A, which is currently owned by City.
E. City and Developer wish to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions relating to City’s disposition of the Site to Developer.
F. The Developer’s proposed acquisition of the Property and subsequent construction and completion of the Project (as defined in Section 1.1.54) on the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is in the best interest of the City and the health, safety and welfare of the City’s taxpayers and residents and is in accordance with the public purposes set forth in applicable law.
Implementation of this Agreement will further the City’s goals and objectives for lower income housing.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by City and Developer, the Parties agree as follows:

The City shall have seven (7) days from its receipt of such proposed changes to review the same and advise the Developer in writing whether such changes are acceptable to the City in its reasonable discretion.

The Developer shall commence construction of the Project no later than the Project Commencement Date and, thereafter, shall diligently proceed to complete the construction of the Project in a good and workmanlike manner in substantial conformity with the approved plans, specifications, and conditions for the Project approved by the City and the Schedule of Performance, subject to Unavoidable Delays.

4.6 Schedule of Performance. The Schedule of Performance establishes various dates and times for the accomplishment of various tasks assigned to the City and the Developer and the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the close of the Escrow. The Parties agree that time is of the essence in the performance of such tasks and the satisfaction of conditions precedent, in view of the large investment of resources that all Parties recognize will be required for the undertaking of the Project. If the date or time for the performance of a task or the satisfaction of a condition, as set forth in either the text of this Agreement or in the Schedule of Performance, may not be achieved, then prior to such date or time set forth in the text of this Agreement or the

A modification of a time or date for performance of a task or satisfaction of a condition (or a series of such modifications) that results in an aggregate change of more than one hundred eighty (180) days shall be subject to the approval of the City Council, in its sole and absolute discretion. If performance of a task or satisfaction of a condition in the Schedule Performance is prevented or delayed by Unavoidable Delays, the deadline for completion of such task or satisfaction of such condition shall be extended by the period of such Unavoidable Delays.
4.7 City’s Right to Inspect Project and Property. Officers, employees, agents and representatives of the City shall have the right of reasonable access to the Property, without the payment of charges or fees, during normal construction hours, during the period of construction of the Project.

The Developer shall make a representative of the Developer available for this purpose at all times during normal construction hours, upon reasonable notice from the City. The City shall indemnify and hold the Developer harmless from injury, property damage or liability arising out of the exercise by the City of the right of access to the Property provided in this Section 4.7, other than injury, property damage or liability arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Developer or its officers, agents or employees.
The City shall inspect relevant portions of the Property, prior to issuing any written statements reflecting adversely on the Developer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement pertaining to development of the Project. If in the City’s reasonable judgment it is necessary, the City shall have the further right, from time to time, to retain a consultant or consultants to inspect the Project and verify compliance by the Developer with the provisions of this Agreement. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that any such inspections are for the sole purpose of protecting the City’s rights under this Agreement, are made solely for the City’s benefit, that the inspections may be superficial and general in nature, and are for the purposes of informing the City of the progress of the Project and the conformity of the Project with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that the Developer shall not be entitled to rely on any such inspection(s) as constituting an approval, satisfaction or acceptance of any materials, workmanship, conformity of the Project with this Agreement or otherwise. The Developer agrees to make its own regular inspections of the work of construction of the Project to determine that the quality of the Project and all other requirements of the work of construction of the Project are being
46708.00203\34798630.14

33 performed in a manner satisfactory to the Developer.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Developer shall permit the City upon reasonable notice to examine and copy all books and account records and other papers relating to the Property and the construction of the Project. The Developer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen to cooperate with the City to enable such examination.

The Developer agrees with the City that the Developer shall assume the responsibility and be solely responsible for determining whether or not laborers employed relative to the construction of the Project must be paid the prevailing per diem wage rate for their labor classification.
4.9.1 The Developer, on behalf of itself, its successors, and assigns, waives and releases the City from any right of action that may be available to it pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1726 and 1781. The Developer acknowledges the protections of Civil Code Section 1542 relative to the waiver and release contained in this Section 4.9.1, which reads as follows:

4.9.3 Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, if at any time prior to the Close of Escrow, Developer determines, in its good faith discretion, that the prevailing wage laws may be applicable to the Project, then Developer may terminate th is Agreement by delivering a written notice to the City, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Developer minus any incurred escrow costs owed by Developer.
4.9.4 The provisions of Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Close of Escrow, and shall not merge into the Grant Deed.
4.10 Certificate of Completion.
4.10.1 Following the substantial Completion of Construction of the Project, and upon written request from the Developer for issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Project, the City shall inspect the Project to determine whether or not the Project has been substantially completed in compliance with this Agreement. If the City determines that the Project is complete and in compliance with this Agreement, the City Manager shall furnish the Developer with a Certificate of Completion for the Project. If the City determines that the Project is not in compliance with this Agreement, the City Manager shall send written notice of each non - conformity to the Developer. Upon issuance of the final certificate of occupancy for the development of the Project, based on the plans submitted by the Developer to the City, the City shall furnish the Developer with a Certificate of Completion for the Project.

35 4.10.2 The Certificate of Completion, upon issuance, shall be evidence of the City’s conclusive determination of satisfactory substantial completion of the entirety of the Project pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
4.10.3 The City shall not unreasonably withhold the issuance of a Certificate of Completion. After the recordation of a Certificate of Completion for the Project, any person then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Property improved with the Project shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease or acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement regarding construction or installation of the Project except that such person shall be bound by any reservations, covenants, conditions, restrictions and other interests recorded against the Property pursuant to this Agreement and the Grant Deed.
4.10.4 If the City fails or refuses to issue a Certificate of Completion following written request from the Developer, the City shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days of the Developer’s written request or within three (3) calendar days after the next regular meeting of the City Council, whichever date occurs later, provide the Developer with a written statement setting forth the reasons for the City’s failure or refusal to issue a Certificate of Completion. The statement shall also contain the City’s opinion of the action(s) the Developer must take to obtain a Certificate of Completion from the City. If the reason for the Developer’s failure to complete the Project is confined to the immediate unavailability of specific items or materials for construction or landscaping at a price reasonably acceptable to the Developer or other minor building “punch-list” items, the City may issue its Certificate of Completion upon the posting o f a bond or irrevocable standby letter of credit by the Developer in a form reasonably acceptable to the City in an amount representing the fair value of the work on the Project remaining to be completed, as reasonably determined by the City. If the City fails to provide such written statement, within the specified time period, the Developer shall be deemed conclusively and without further action of the City to have satisfied the requirements of this Agreement with respect to the Project, as if a Certificate of Completion had been issued by the City pursuant to this Agreement.
4.10.5 A Certificate of Completion shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of the Developer to any holder of a mortgage, or any insurer of a mortgage securing money loaned to finance the Project, or any parts thereof. A Certificate of Completion shall not be deemed to constitute a notice of completion under Section 3093 of the California Civil Code, nor shall it act to terminate the continuing covenants, restrictions or conditions contained in the Grant Deed or any other instruments recorded against the Property pursuant to this Agreement. A Certificate of Completion is not evidence of the compliance of the Project with any City Requirements or any building code, conditions of approval, land use, zoning or other requirements of the City or any Governmental Agency with jurisdiction over the Property, other than the City.

PROJECT FINANCING
6.1 Project Financing. Developer intends to use its own funds to finance the development of the Project in accordance with the Project Budget, and does not intend to obtain third (3rd) party financing in connection therewith. The Project Budget shall be submitted by Developer to the City no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the last day of the Due Diligence Period, approved by the City and, upon approval by the City, attached to this Agreement as Exhibit I – all prior to the expiration the Due Diligence Period. Provided Developer finances and constructs the project consistent with the Project Budget in all material respects, no additional review by the City shall be required. If, however, there is a material modification to the Project Budget, approved financing, or approved lender, if any, Developer shall seek approval from the City as provided herein. Developer acknowledges that the City has a reasonable interest in the Project being developed with commercially reasonable financing. For the purpose of this Section
6.1, “material modification” shall mean a change which exceeds the sum of Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000.00).
6.2 Project Budget. While the Project Budget will have been prepared based on the best, good faith estimate of Developer of the costs which are likely to be incurred for the Project, the Parties recognize that events and circumstances not currently contemplated, some of which are outside of the control of the Parties, could result in changes in the Project Costs, necessitating changes in the Project Budget. To the extent that Developer makes changes to the Project Budget, Developer shall immediately submit a revised Project Budget to the City Manager for review and approval, which review and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, as to the sufficiency of the financing secured by Developer to meet the revised Project Costs.
6.3 Only Permitted Exceptions. Developer shall not record and shall not allow to be recorded against the Property any Security Instrument, lien or other encumbrance that is not a Permitted Exception. Developer shall remove or cause to be removed (or providing title insurance

The covenants of Developer set forth in this Section regarding the placement of encumbrances on the Property shall run with the land of the Property and bind successive owners of the Property, until recordation (or deemed issuance) of the Certificate of Completion for the Project.
6.4 City Right to Discharge Prohibited Encumbrances. After sixty (60) calendar days’ Notice to Developer of a non-Permitted Exception and provided that Developer has not caused such non-Permitted Exception to be removed pursuant to Section 6.3, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy or remove any non-Permitted Exception against the Property or the Project and receive reimbursement from Developer for any amounts paid or incurred in satisfying or removing any such non-Permitted Exception, upon demand. Any amount expended by the City to discharge a non-Permitted Exception that is not reimbursed to the City by Developer within thirty (30) calendar days following written demand for payment from the City shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of eight percent (8%) per annum or the maximum highest rate of interest allowed by law under the circumstances , until paid in full.
Nothing in this Section 6.4, though, shall require Developer to pay or make provisions for the payment of any tax, assessment, lien or charge that Developer is in the process of contesting the validity or amount thereof, in good faith, and so long as such contest shall not subject all or any portion of the Property to forfeiture or sale.
6.5 Rights of Lender and City Regarding Permitted Security Instruments . Notice of Liens. The Developer shall promptly notify the City of any Security Instrument or lien asserted against or attached to all or any portion of the Project or the Property, other than as listed in Section

6.6 Notice of Default to Lenders. Whenever the City delivers any notice of default to Developer under this Agreement, the City shall send a copy of such notice of default to each Lender holding a Permitted Security Instrument of which the City has received notice and a contact address for transmittal of such notices. Each Lender receiving a copy of any such notice of default shall have the right, at its option, to commence the cure or remedy of any default of Developer set forth in such notice and to diligently and continuously proceed with such cure or remedy such default, within the cure period allowed to Developer under this Agreement. The City shall accept
46708.00203\34798630.14
DRAFT 11/09/22
45 such performance by a Lender with the same force and effect as if furnished by Developer. If such default can only be remedied or cured by the Lender upon obtaining possession of the Property, the City shall allow the Lender an opportunity to obtain possession with diligence and continuity through exercise of remedies under such Lender’s Permitted Security Instrument and to remedy or cure such default within ninety (90) days after obtaining possession of the Property. If the default reasonably requires more than ninety (90) days to cure, however, then the time available to a Lender to cure pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be the reasonable time required to complete such cure, as long as the Lender has commenced the cure of the default within such ninety (90) day period and diligently pursues the cure to completion. During such extension of time, the City shall not terminate this Agreement or exercise other remedies under this Agreement by reason of such default. All Developer specific defaults shall be deemed cured upon Transfer of Developer’s interest in the entire Property to the Lender, its assignee or nominee, pursuant to exercise of remedies under a Permitted Security Instrument.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit, authorize or require any Lender to undertake or continue the construction or installation of any portion of the Project (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect improvements or construction already made) prior to or after acquiring title to or possession of the entire Property, without expressly assuming Developer’s obligations under this Agreement by written agreement reasonably satisfactory to the City, in which the Lender agrees to complete the Project in the manner provided in this Agreement. Any Lender desiring to complete the Project must provide the City with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the City that the Lender has the qualifications (or will engage one or more licensed contractor(s) or consultant(s) with such qualifications) and financial capability necessary to perform such obligations.
6.7 No Termination of Permitted Security Instruments by Default . An Event of Default by Developer under this Agreement shall not defeat or render invalid the lien of any Permitted Security Instrument made in good faith and for value as to all or any part of the Property, whether or not the Lender is subordinated to this Agreement; but unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Subordination Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding and effective against any owner of the Property, whose title thereto is acquired pursuant to exercise of remedies under a Permitted Security Instrument or from a person or entity exercising any such remedies.
6.8 Lender Rights on Termination or Modification . No termination of this Agreement shall be binding upon a Lender unless the termination occurs after notice to such Lender and such Lender’s failure to cure all then existing defaults under this Agreement (except any Developer specific defaults), pursuant to this Section 6.8, or with such Lender’s prior written consent. No modification of this Agreement that materially affects the rights of a Lender shall be binding upon the Lender without its prior written consent.

A Lender shall in no way be obligated by the provisions of this Agreement to construct or complete the development of the Project or to guarantee such construction or completion, but may do so pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6.9 Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to construe, permit, or authorize any Lender to devote all or any portion of the Property to any uses, or to construct any improvements thereon, other than those uses or the Project provided for or authorized by this Agreement.
6.10 City Right to Cure Obligations. In the event of a default by Developer under any Permitted Security Instrument, prior to the date of issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Project, where the Lender has not exercised its option to complete the Project under Section 6.6, the City may cure the default of Developer under the applicable Permitted Security Instrument, but is under no obligation to do so, prior to completion of any sale or foreclosure of all or any portion of the Property under the applicable Permitted Security Instrument. The City shall be entitled to reimbursement from Developer of all costs and reasonable expenses incurred by the City in curing any default of Developer under any Permitted Security Instrument, under demand.
Any amount expended by the City to cure a default of Developer under any Permitted Security Instrument that is not reimbursed to the City, by Developer within thirty (30) calendar days after notice of such amount to Developer, shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of eight percent (8%) per annum or the maximum highest rate of interest allowed by law under the circumstances until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.10 and any Subordination Agreement, the Subordination Agreement shall control.
6.11 Foreclosure of Permitted Security Instrument. Foreclosure of any Permitted Security Instrument, whether by judicial proceedings or by power of sale, or any conveyance by deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall not require the consent of the City.
