OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is for City Council to adopt Ordinance 24-11 to effectuate amendments to the Development Agreement (Amended and Restated Development Agreement) relative to the Yarbrough Project.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:

1. Find that adoption of Ordinance 24-11 and approval of the amendments to the Development Agreement (DA) relative to the Yarbrough Master Plan are consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) based on the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) adopted on June 18, 2008, prepared for the Project and, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, no subsequent environmental review is required prior to approval of proposed amendments to the Yarbrough Development Agreement because the City as lead agency for the Project has determined there is no substantial evidence of (a) new significant environmental effects, (b) substantial increases in the severity of previously identified environmental effects, or (c) new information of substantial importance that would require major changes to the previously certified Yarbrough Environmental Impact Report adopted by the City Council on June 18, 2008; and

2. Waive second reading and adopt of Ordinance 24-11 detailing the amendments to the DA subject to the conditions and findings as identified in the agenda report.

BACKGROUND
On August 15, 2024, the Planning Commission held a continued public hearing for the Phase I Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (VTSM) and the Development Agreement amendments. Following a public hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 24-3PC (Attachment 1), recommending that the City Council approve Ordinance 24-11 (Attachment 2) approving the amendments to the DA subject to the conditions and findings.

On November 6, 2024, the City Council conducted the first reading of Ordinance 24-11 detailing amendments to the DA subject to the conditions and findings. There were no questions from the City Council and two public comments were submitted on this item. Following the public hearing, the City Council voted 4-1 to approve the Amended and Restated Development Agreement (ARDA).

Following the introduction and first reading of Ordinance No. 24-11, and based on the information presented in the staff report and at the public hearing, this Ordinance expressly includes two clerical omissions on which the City Council made its decision: 1.) that the amended and restated DA conforms with the City’s General Plan, and 2.) that the amended and restated DA was analyzed by the previously certified EIR. This information was presented in the agenda packet at the November 6, 2024, public hearing and these changes do not change the project, the DA, nor are they substantive in nature.

The Yarbrough project area is comprised of approximately 713 acres of undeveloped land in the southwestern part of Southport. In 2006, the Yarbrough landowner submitted development plans to convert the undeveloped parcels to a residential village which would include 3,004 residential units, a village core with commercial and mixed land uses, and extensive open space, including a 55.9-acre lake park and canal system. Implementation of the plan required amendments to the Southport Framework Plan Land Use Diagram, a consistency finding with Resolution 06-63, and a Development Agreement (DA) with a 15-year 282 Yarbrough DA Amendments

term. The project was approved by the City Council in June 2008 and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified to satisfy requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The area is currently used for agricultural production (dry land farming). Existing structures include two residences and an abandoned residence (proposed for demolition as part of the project), and a sewer pump station (Largo Pump Station) adjacent to Southport Parkway. An 8-inch gas transmission line runs underground within the rights-of-way of Burrows Road and Jefferson Boulevard south of Burrows Road. The Reclamation District (RD) 900 Main Drainage Canal (Main Drain), which serves as the primary irrigation/ drainage conveyance facility, flows through the project site south and west and eventually into the DeepWater Shipping Channel. Agricultural lands in the unincorporated area of Yolo County lie south of the city limits. Jefferson Boulevard traverses the site northeasterly/southwesterly. Yarbrough is in the southwest village of Southport and generally bound by the Deep-Water Ship Channel (DWSC) to the west, the Bridgeway Lakes communities to the north, agricultural land immediately to the east, and the southeast village of Southport beyond the former Yolo Shortline Railroad corridor. A narrow portion adjoins the southern city limits, which marks the proposed project’s southern boundary.

The project, which intended to be built out in a total of four phases, would establish a network of streets and trails providing both motorized and nonmotorized access. This includes a system of landscaped pedestrian, bicycle, and equestrian trails, including the lake promenade; a multi-use regional recreation trail along the levee system on the western and southern sides of the project site; Class 2 bike lanes along Jefferson Boulevard, Southport Parkway, and collector roads within the project site; and pedestrian connectors along selected local streets. The Project would also include a comprehensive system of arterial and collector streets, consistent with the City’s General Plan Mobility Element. Jefferson Boulevard would be expanded to four lanes from the northern edge of the project site to the intersection with Southport Parkway in the village core; it would transition to two lanes south of that point. Jefferson Boulevard would cross the proposed lake on a new bridge near the village core. Jefferson Boulevard would be built as a parkway, with a landscaped median, standard street lighting and curbs, gutters, sidewalks, landscaping and bike lanes on each side. This would recognize the existing location of Southport Parkway, located west of Jefferson Boulevard and provide a connection with Village Parkway, located east of Jefferson Boulevard. The project materials, including the Original Development Agreement, can be found on the City’s website at https://www.cityofwestsacramento.org/government/departments/community-development/planningdivision/major-planning-projects/yarbrough-master-plan

ANALYSIS
In accordance with Section 17.43.060.D and Government Code Section 65867.5, approval of a Development Agreement shall be by ordinance, with the Planning Commission making an advisory recommendation to the City Council. The City Council, after a duly noticed public hearing, acts on the Development Agreement amendments via a first and second reading of the ordinance. Over the course of the previous several years, development of the project has been delayed for a variety of reasons, including disruptions to work schedules and supply chain interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic along with City projects designed for flood mitigation. During this period, the developer has made efforts to advance the project where feasible. The developer's efforts have included working with City staff to complete Development Agreement’s provisions to adjust the project to the mutual benefit of all parties, payment of fees, etc. However, because of these delays, the Developer and the City wish to amend the DA to enable the parties to effectuate the project build out over time, update the DA to reflect current conditions in the City to best serve the respective needs of the parties, and add new sections and exhibits to ensure the project is providing necessary improvements proportionate with the proposed development. The amended and restated development agreement can be found in Attachment 2 as Exhibit 1.

DA Extension
The current DA expires on July 18, 2025. The proposed amended and restated DA (the “ARDA”) would extend the existing DA term for a twelve-year period, with an additional five-year extension based on development of at least 50% or 1,500 residential units in the project has occurred and all improvements and infrastructure associated with those units are constructed and accepted by the City. Since the project is intended to be completed in four phases, staff is projecting needing the ARDA to be in place for at least that period of time to see full build out.

Jefferson Boulevard Improvements
The Yarbrough Project is obligated to widen Jefferson Boulevard from Marshall Road to the project. The original obligation in the DA included improvements that the Landowner was obligated to complete prior to 283
Yarbrough DA Amendments
November 20, 2024

the development of the 1,501st residential unit in the Southport Area beyond those identified as existing plus approved. The ARDA provides more detail on the timing and funding obligation for the Jefferson Boulevard improvements including expanding widening and improvements north to Linden Road (as opposed to Marshall Road) and accelerating the completion of construction. The amendment is summarized below:
 Jefferson Blvd. cross sections to be depicted on the First Tentative Map in Phase I with City Engineer approval. The full street improvements on Jefferson Blvd. from Linden Road to the Project (Southport Parkway) to be built (street widening, sidewalks, bike lanes, and landscaping).  The Yarbrough project may utilize $10 million (+/-) in transportation fee credits from the first 548-unit Tentative Map towards improvement costs.
 A commitment $2.8 million in fee credits originally from the South River Road Bridge commitment per DA to be utilized for Jefferson Blvd. improvement costs.  The initial contribution of $2.4 million (+/-) designated for the Enhanced Transit/Mobility System shall be credited to the improvements on Jefferson Boulevard in Phase I.  Jefferson Blvd. improvements to be started upon initial construction of subdivision improvements in first small lot final map in Phase I and completed at the 400th final home inspection in Phase I.

Fire Station #42 and Public Safety Financing
Yarbrough is obligated to finance design and construction of a new fire station within the project to replace the outdated Station 42 currently located at Davis and Gregory. As proposed in the Development Agreement Amendment, the applicant will fund the design for the new Fire Station #42 upon the approval of the first small lot final map in Phase I. The Landowner shall dedicate property to the City for the purpose of a planned fire station within the project, in accordance with the final Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan and Comprehensive Financing Agreement (the “PFFP”) and the Southport Fire Response Study. The new fire station is proposed to be constructed on Parcel 8 in the Phase I VTSM. The applicant is required to provide the new fire station site with sewer, water and other utilities as a condition of approval and a provision of the Development Agreement, prior to approval of the first final map.

The original Yarbrough Development Agreement included language that would have required relocated Fire Station #42 to include a room within the fire station that could be used by the police. The Yarbrough EIR did not require this as mitigation for any identified impact, having concluded that payment of the City’s Police Facilities Development Impact Fee mitigated potential impacts to less than significant (See DEIR, Impact US-2). The ARDA does modify the original DA by removing the requirement that the planned fire station also include space for this “police annex”. The Project is required to pay development impact fees to the City to cover necessary public service facility improvements. The ARDA also adds an additional requirement - the Landowner will now be required to participate in the formation of a public safety Community Financing District (CFD), which will fund fire and police personnel, equipment, and maintenance costs.

REQUIRED FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS:

In accordance with Section 17.43.070 of the Zoning Code, the City Council, and the Planning Commission as an advisory recommendation, must make the following finding:

1. That a proposed Development Agreement and its provisions are consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan to approve a Development Agreement.

Transportation improvements, including those associated with Southport/Village Parkway, Jefferson Boulevard, Bevan Road and Burrows Avenue, will improve connectivity and ensure safe mobility alternatives for those living in the Southport area. As conditioned, this finding can be made in the affirmative.

2. In addition, the proposed Development Agreement must be consistent with the provisions of Government Code Sections 65864 through 65869.5.

Analysis: A development agreement is a legally binding contract between a local government and a property owner or developer. It establishes the terms and conditions under which a development project will proceed. In California, development agreements are governed by Government Code Sections 65864 284
Yarbrough DA Amendments
November 20, 2024

Page 4 ends

through 65869.5. The ARDA and the process by which it is being considered by the City and the applicant is consistent with the applicable State statutes. Finding 2 can be made in the affirmative.

General Plan Consistency
Development Agreement amendments are consistent with Land Use (LU) Goal LU-3.11 in the City of West Sacramento’s General Plan 2035, Southport Development, which is guided by the following principles:
 Concentrate community commercial, high-density residential and public facilities uses in nodes along major and minor arterials.
 The Yarbrough project strategically positions medium-density residential units along key transportation corridors, such as the provision of the affordable housing site along Jefferson Boulevard, just south of the relocated Fire Station #42. This enhances accessibility and supports the efficient use of infrastructure. The project’s focus on a mix of uses ensures that public facilities are easily accessible to residents, promoting a vibrant and integrated community hub.  Emphasize a mixture of residential types and densities, while concentrating on homeownership as a general goal.
 The project includes a diverse range of residential options, from a range in densities of single-family homes to medium-density multi-family developments. This variety caters to different demographics, including families, young professionals, and seniors. However, most Yarbrough products are ownership single-family residential units. By promoting homeownership, the Yarbrough project aims to foster a sense of stability and investment in the community. The mixture of housing types also helps in creating an inclusive community that accommodates a wide range of income levels and lifestyles.
 Ensure that ample buffers are established between incompatible land uses.  The project design includes thoughtful planning of buffer zones to mitigate potential conflicts between different land uses, such as the buffers planned along the Bevan Road frontage that would provide a greater distance between the medium-density Yarbrough area from the rural residential areas to the north of the project. In addition, residential neighborhoods enjoy green spaces and landscaped buffers, ensuring that the quality of life for residents is not compromised by noise or traffic from transportation corridors. These buffers also contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the community and provide recreational opportunities for residents.

Environmental Considerations
The project was approved by the City Council in June 2008, which included certification of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to satisfy requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An EIR was prepared by the City of West Sacramento, as lead agency, pursuant to CEQA (Public Resources Code 21000 et seq.); the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations 15000 et seq.), as amended; and the City’s environmental thresholds of significance. CEQA requires that all state and local government agencies consider the environmental consequences of projects over which they have discretionary authority. Approval of the proposed project, general plan amendment, and rezoning constitutes a project under CEQA. The project includes the amendments to the Development Agreement.

The document is intended to be both a program and project EIR, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15161 and 15168. For the requested actions on the DA amendments, the Council will consider making findings pursuant to CEQA that the previously certified EIR remains adequate given that the project remains substantially unchanged from its original approval pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.

The potential environmental impacts that would result from implementation of the proposed project are summarized in the EIR. In many cases, impacts are less than significant. To the extent feasible, the City has incorporated mitigation measures into the proposed project to avoid or reduce impacts. Those impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less-than-significant level would remain significant and unavoidable. The mitigation measures can be found in the Summary of Impacts and Mitigation Measures, Yarbrough General Plan Amendment and Rezoning Project, Table ES-1.

For any new environmental review to be necessary, the City must have substantial evidence of new or more severe environmental effects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Given that the project has remained substantially the same to date, this finding can be made. 285

It should be noted that the landowner has completed agricultural land mitigation through the Yolo Land Trust and biological mitigation through the Yolo Habitat Conservancy. All other applicable mitigation measures remain in place from the EIR.

Commission Recommendations
On August 15, 2024, the Planning Commission held a continued public hearing for the Phase I Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (VTSM) and the Development Agreement amendments. Following a public hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 24-3PC, thereby recommending the City Council approve Ordinance 24-11 approving the amendments to the DA subject to the conditions and findings.

Strategic Plan Integration
The recommended item supports the Council’s 2022 Strategic Plan Policy Agenda Goal of the Southport Framework Plan Refinement as the Framework Plan was developed to provide “…an overall vision and guide for Southport as it develops.” This project would contribute to providing more housing variety, amenities to the area, and mixed-use opportunities as well as sustainable efforts associated with the master plan.

Alternatives
The City Council’s primary alternatives are summarized below.

1. Find that the required findings for approval of the DA cannot be made for specific reasons articulated and deny the approval of the DA amendments.

2. Find that the CEQA analysis is not the appropriate level of environmental review and direct staff to perform additional environmental analysis (specify impacts to be addressed) prior to City Council’s consideration of the request.

3. Continue the item to a future date and request that additional information be provided at that time.

Alternative 1 is staff’s recommendation. While staff believes the analysis presented in this report is correct, staff is prepared to effectuate Alternatives 2 or 3 or any of the options presented by staff at the City Council’s direction.

Coordination and Review
The content of this report has been coordinated with staff from the Community Development Department and the City Attorney’s Office.

Budget/Cost Impact
The applicant is paying for staff’s review of the project through a reimbursement agreement.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

RELATIVE TO YARBROUGH
This Yarbrough Development Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into between the CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO, a municipal corporation (“City”), and ASB Southport II LLC, a California limited liability company the “Landowner”). City and Landowner are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties” and singularly as “Party”.

RECITALS

1. Authorization. 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 Government Code section 65864 et seq. (the “Development Agreement Statute”), which authorizes the City and any person having a legal or equitable interest in the real property to enter into a development agreement, establishing certain development rights in the Property, which is the subject of the development project application.

2. Public Hearing. The Planning Commission of the City of West Sacramento, serving as the City’s planning agency for purposes of development agreement review pursuant to Government Code section 65867, considered this Agreement and recommended approval of this Agreement to the City Council.

3. Environmental Review. The City Council certified as adequate and complete, the Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) for the Project in Resolution 08-40. Mitigation Measures were identified in the EIR. The City Council has adopted Mitigation Measures, as reflected in the CEQA findings of fact adopted by the Council, and in the City’s Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program in City Resolution 08-4. The Mitigation Measures adopted by the City are incorporated into the Project and, in part, into the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as reflected by the CEQA findings of fact adopted by the City Council concurrently with this Agreement.

4. Need for Services and Facilities. Development of the Property will result in a need for municipal services and facilities, some of which will be provided by the City to the Project, subject to the performance of Landowner’s obligations hereunder.

5. Contribution to Costs of Facilities and Services. Landowner agrees to contribute to the costs of public facilities and services as required herein to mitigate impacts on the community of the development of the Property, and City agrees to provide such public facilities and services as required herein to assure that Landowner may proceed with and complete development of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. City and Landowner recognize and agree that, but for Landowner’s contributions to mitigate the impacts arising as a result of development entitlements granted pursuant to this Agreement, City would not and could not approve the development of the Property as provided by this Agreement and that, but for City’s covenant to provide certain facilities and services for development of the Property, Landowner would not and could not commit to provide the mitigation as provided by this Agreement. City’s vesting of the right to develop the Property, as provided herein, is in reliance upon and in consideration of Landowner’s agreement to make contributions towards 306
2 873763.17
the cost of public improvements as herein provided to mitigate the impacts of development of the Property as development occurs and as consistent with this Agreement.

6. Public Benefits. Development of the Project will result in significant public benefits, as more fully described hereinafter, including, without limitation:

6.1. Implementation of the development goals set forth in the Southport Framework Plan;

6.2. The provision of additional recreational opportunities and the enhancement of the appearance of the Southport area;

6.3. The provision of services within walking distance to development, as well as opportunities for employment;

6.4. The provision of a mixed-use development that is a logical extension of adjacent uses;

6.5. The furtherance of the goals and objectives of the City’s affordable housing plan.

7. Landowner Assurances. In exchange for the benefits to the City in the preceding Recitals, together with the other public benefits that will result from the development of the Property, Landowner will receive by this Agreement assurance that it may proceed with the Project in accordance with the Project Approvals, and therefore, desires to enter into this Agreement.

8. Consistency with General Plan and Southport Framework Plan. Having duly examined and considered this Agreement and having held properly noticed public hearings hereon, in City Ordinance No. 08-4, the City found that this Agreement satisfies the Government Code section 65867.5 requirement of general plan consistency. The City has also found that this Agreement satisfies the project specific Southport Framework Plan, a planned development overlay, as more particularly described in City Ordinance No. 95-8.

In connection with its issuance of a final inspection for any residential lot, the City shall confirm that all Improvements which are required to serve the lot have been dedicated to and accepted by the City, and all applicable fees have been paid by Landowner. Termination of this Agreement as to any such commercial or residential lot shall not in any way be construed to terminate or modify any applicable assessment district, special tax lien, fee credit, or right of reimbursement with respect to such lot. Termination of this Agreement as to any such lot shall extend solely to that lot and shall not extend to other parcels or property encompassed by this Agreement.

5.4 Termination by Mutual Consent. This Agreement may be terminated in whole or in part by the mutual written consent of all the Parties. Any fees paid or Improvements dedicated to the City prior to the date of termination shall be retained by the City.

5.5 Effect of Termination. This Agreement was entered into by the Parties for the limited purpose of setting forth certain terms and conditions concerning the proposed development of Project in a manner that is consistent with the Collective Standards. Accordingly, nothing contained herein is intended or shall be construed to grant to Landowner any rights in connection with the future development of the Property, except for those rights set forth in the Collective Standards and in this Agreement.

The Parties recognize and agree that this Agreement imposes certain continuing obligations and responsibilities on the City and Landowner. Termination of this Agreement, 313
9 873763.17
whether by default as provided in Section 25 or by expiration of its own accord, shall not:
(1) affect any pre-existing liability under this Agreement owed by one Party to the other, which remains unsatisfied as of the date of termination; (2) affect those provisions of this Agreement which provide that they shall survive the termination of this Agreement, including, but not limited to the City’s Purchase Option Agreement set forth in Section 12.1.2, or Landowner’s obligations to comply with the Yarbrough Design Guidelines or Mitigation Measures; (3) be construed to terminate or modify an applicable covenant, condition, servitude or restriction that runs with the land and binds Successors; (4) affect the validity of any structure on the Property or Improvement which is completed as of the date of termination and is in compliance with all necessary permits; or (5) prevent Landowner from completing any structure on the Property or Improvement under construction at the time of termination, provided that any such structure or Improvement is completed in accordance with all necessary permits.

8.3 Fees, Dedications, Assessments and Taxes.

8.3.1. Waiver of Fee Establishment Procedures. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Landowner hereby waives the procedures and requirements imposed on cities by the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code sections 66000 et seq.) for establishing, expending, returning, and reporting on all "fees" as that term is defined in the Mitigation Fee Act, as to the fees established as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. This waiver shall not apply to any fees adopted after the Effective Date; thus, as to fees adopted or revised after the Effective Date, Landowner shall retain whatever rights it has under Federal and State law.

8.3.2. Processing Fees and Charges. Landowner shall pay those processing, inspection, and plan check fees and charges required by City under then current regulations for processing applications and requests for permits, approvals and other actions, and monitoring compliance with any permits issued or approvals granted or the performance of any conditions with respect thereto or any performance required of Landowner hereunder.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Exactions required by City to be paid by the Landowner that do not meet one of the preceding criteria, shall be the Exactions authorized as of the Effective Date. Wherever this Agreement obligates Landowner to design, construct or install any improvements, the cost thereof shall be provided by Landowner, or may be provided by a Community Facilities District (―CFD‖) or other such financing mechanism acceptable to the City, subject to and in accordance with the provisions thereof.

8.3.4. Exhibits Not Exclusive. Landowner acknowledges that the fees and Improvements set forth in the attached Exhibits are not exclusive but are merely set forth to clarify some of Landowner's obligations under this Agreement.

8.3.5. Mitigation of EIR Impacts. Landowner shall timely satisfy and comply with all Mitigation Measures in accordance with the schedule in the Mitigation Monitoring Plans. The Mitigation Measures are conditions of Project approval but are not the exclusive conditions of Project approval. A failure to timely satisfy any Mitigation Measure or other conditions of Project Approval without prior written City approval shall be a default of this Agreement, subject to the default and cure provisions set forth in Section 25 of this Agreement.

8.3.6. Other Public Agencies. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to govern the authority of other public agencies to impose fees.

8.3.7. Public Works and Community Development. All Improvements and work performed by Landowner in connection with the Project shall be to the satisfaction of the City Public Works Director and Community Development Director. 317
13 873763.17

8.3.8. Acquisition of Land for Improvements. Landowner
acknowledges that some of the public improvements required for the Project will be constructed on land that is not under the control of the Landowner or the City. Except to the extent required under this Agreement, the City is under no obligation to acquire land needed for the construction of such improvements, and the Parties agree that nothing in Government Code section 66452.5 or any other provision of State law will require the City to waive any conditions set forth in the Project approvals related to construction of the Project. Except to the extent required under this Agreement, if the City acquires such land, with the exception of any Right of Way acquisition required for Bevan Road and Burrows Avenue, Landowner shall be responsible for all of City's costs associated with such acquisition (including legal counsel and appraisal fees), subject to possible reimbursement as provided in Section 14.3.

9. Payment and Performance Bonds. Landowner has an affirmative obligation to secure its obligations to construct Project improvements, as required in this Agreement.

Landowner shall secure all infrastructure improvements by delivering payment and performance bonds to City, in a manner consistent with City ordinances and in accordance with this section.

Prior to the commencement of construction of any infrastructure improvement, Landowner or Landowner’s general contractor shall furnish City with payment and performance bonds (“Bonds”), issued by a corporate surety company that is an admitted insurer in the State of California and licensed to do business in California, in an amount approved by City, but not less than the full amount of the construction contract, and shall name City as obligee.

10.1 Right to Develop. Landowner shall have the vested right to proceed with development of the Project in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Collective Standards, and any amendments to the Project Approvals as shall, from time to time, be approved pursuant to this Agreement. Landowner’s development of the Property shall be subject to the terms set forth in any subsequent approvals needed for development; provided however, that any conditions, terms, restrictions and requirements contained in any subsequent approvals shall not be inconsistent with or otherwise prevent development of the Property for the uses, or reduce the density and intensity of development, or limit the rate or timing of development set forth in this Agreement, as long as Landowner is not in default under this Agreement.

10.2 Permitted Uses. The permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, location and maintenance of on-site and off-site improvements, location of public utilities and other terms and conditions of development applicable to the Property, shall be those set forth in this Agreement, the Collective Standards and any amendments to this Agreement or the Project Approvals.

Prior to or concurrent with the approval of the first small lot final map for the Project, Landowner shall enter into the Affordable Housing Agreement with the City, to the satisfaction of the City. At a minimum, the Affordable Housing Agreement shall contain the requirements set forth in Exhibit F, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

12. Recreational Uses.

12.1 Golf Course. The golf course located on the Property, and more particularly described in Exhibit G and depicted in Exhibit D, shall be an 18-hole public golf course, including a Pro Shop, and be available to City residents during normal business hours.

Construction of the golf course shall not be credited towards the Project’s Park Impact Fee obligations.

12.1.1. Timing of Construction. Construction of the golf course shall commence with the first phase of construction of the Project in accordance with the terms of the Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan. If the golf course is not completed prior to the issuance of the one thousand two hundredth (1,200th) residential building permit, then no further residential building permits shall be issued. For purposes of this section, the term “completed” shall mean that the golf course, including all infrastructure and improvements thereon, has been 319
15 873763.17
constructed and that the golf course is in the “grow in” or “course maturation” phase. The Pro Shop shall be constructed upon completion of the golf course such that it is open to the public for use and enjoyment at the same time that the golf course is open to the public for use and enjoyment.

12.1.2. Purchase Option. Prior to approval of the first tentative map for the Project, Landowner shall enter into a Purchase Option Agreement with the City (the “Option”). The Option shall allow the City to acquire the golf course and resume operation of the golf course in the event the Landowner (or its successor) decides to cease operating the golf course as a public golf course, consistent with the intent of the City Council expressed at its May 14, 2008 meeting.

12.1.2.1. Legal Description To Purchase Option. Concurrent with the approval of the first final map creating the parcel(s) containing the golf course, the Parties shall amend the Option by inserting a legal description for the golf course.

12.1.3. Indemnification.

Landowner shall do all things necessary to cause this transfer to occur such that the City, as operator, possesses the same releases, indemnification, defenses, and protection as the existing golf course operator arising from activities related to the operation and maintenance of the golf course.

12.1.4. Operation and Maintenance. In the event that the City exercises its Option to purchase the golf course from the Landowner, Landowner shall transfer to the City any funds collected for the purpose of operating and maintaining the golf course.

12.2 Parks. The Project Approvals include a five (5) acre Neighborhood Park, the Lake Park (including the recreational and open space improvements included in the Lake Park), Pocket Parks, a village green, and a Designated Trail System, together with recreational and open-space improvements to these areas.

12.2.1. Ownership and Maintenance. The Neighborhood Park and Designated Trail System shall be publicly owned and maintained, and open to the public for use and enjoyment. Unless otherwise indicated in the Comprehensive Recreational Phasing and Financing Plan, all other park facilities developed as part of the Project shall be open to the public for use and enjoyment, but shall be privately owned and maintained.

12.2.2. Credits.

12.2.2.1. Upon completion of the construction of the park facilities identified in the Comprehensive Recreational Phasing and Financing Plan, and at such time as the improvements are “completed,” Landowner shall be eligible for park impact fee credits to the extent that the facilities are consistent with the City’s updated Parks Master Plan and identified in the Master Plan as being eligible for credit. For purposes of this section, park facilities are “completed” when the facility and corresponding improvements and infrastructure are constructed and available for public use and enjoyment.
320
16 873763.17

12.2.2.2. The City shall have a controlling role in
programming, design, and construction of any park facilities eligible for credit; however, all costs associated with any park facility shall be borne by the Landowner. The term “controlling role” shall be described in the Comprehensive Recreational Phasing and Financing Plan.

12.2.3. Timing of Improvements of Parks. The construction of park facilities shall be phased in accordance with Section 12.2.9, the Comprehensive Recreational Phasing and Financing Plan. Park facilities adjacent to a residential neighborhood shall be constructed and completed prior to completion of fifty percent (50%) of the residential dwelling units in the residential neighborhood. For purposes of this section 12.2.8, park facilities are “completed” when the park facility and corresponding improvements and infrastructure are constructed and available for public use and enjoyment. A residential dwelling unit is “completed” when the City has performed its final inspection of the unit and the unit is eligible for the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or its equivalent.

12.2.4. Comprehensive Recreational Phasing and Financing Plan.

Landowner agrees to prepare and implement a Comprehensive Recreational Phasing and Financing Plan that shall include, but not be limited to the following:

12.2.4.1. Designated Trail System,

12.2.4.2. The Lake Park,

12.2.4.3. The Neighborhood Park, and

13.1 Lakes and Waterways
Lakes and waterways developed as part of the Project shall be privately owned by the Landowner.

Landowner shall maintain and operate the lakes and waterways in accordance with Exhibit E and to the satisfaction of Reclamation District 900, its successors or assigns. Upon approval of the 321
17 873763.17
final map for the Project that identifies and creates the lakes and waterways as a separate parcel of land, Landowner shall grant the City an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (the “IOD”) to the said parcel. The IOD shall be in a form prepared by the City and offer the City the right, but not the obligation, to accept the lakes and waterways. In the event that the City accepts the lakes and waterways from the Landowner, the Landowner shall transfer to the City any funds collected for the purpose of operating and maintaining the lakes and waterways. Landowner shall also transfer to the City control over any funding mechanism created for the operation and maintenance of the lakes and waterways. Upon transfer of the funds and funding mechanism from Landowner to the City, the City shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the lakes and waterways.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to allow Landowner to receive compensation or to be eligible for reimbursements or credits toward development impact fees for the IOD.

13.2 Traffic.

13.2.1. Funding of the Updated Fee Study. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.4.5, Landowner shall fund an update to the Traffic Impact Fee Study.

Proportionate share shall be determined based upon the projects participating in the update and their respective equivalent dwelling units.

Update of the Fee Study. Except as otherwise the City shall commence the update of the Traffic Impact Fee Study not more than thirty (30) days after receipt of funds from all participating projects. Once the update of the fee study has commenced, the City shall move forward expeditiously with the development and approval of the fee study. The updated Traffic Impact Fee study shall include the improvements set forth in Exhibit I of this Agreement. Landowner also agrees to make the improvements and funding commitments more particularly described in Exhibit J of this Agreement which includes Jefferson Boulevard improvements obligation and timing. Landowner expressly acknowledges and agrees that City shall not commence the update to the Fee Study until and unless it receives fees sufficient to cover the costs of the updates. City acknowledges that the transportation/traffic improvements identified in this agreement as Fee Credit eligible are eligible for Fee Credit upon the approval of this Amended and Restated DA by the City Council.

13.2.2. Eligibility for Reimbursement. Eligibility of Landowner for reimbursement shall be in accordance with Section 14.3.

All required improvements shall be financed and constructed in accordance with the Comprehensive Financing Agreement and Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan.

14. Phasing and Financing of Improvements and Infrastructure.

14.1 Phasing.

14.1.1. Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan. Landowner shall identify and agrees to prepare and implement a comprehensive development phasing plan that 322
18 873763.17
shall include, but not be limited to the phasing of the following (collectively, the ―Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan):

14.1.1.1. Project construction activities, generally,

14.1.1.2. Infrastructure development, including any Improvements identified in the updated Water, Sewer, Drainage, and Traffic Impact Fee Study, but not including park facilities, which are separately addressed in the Comprehensive Recreational Phasing and Financing Plan,

14.1.1.3. Commercial site availability for development,

14.1.1.4. The golf course,

14.1.1.5. Affordable housing construction, and

14.1.1.6. Planning and implementation of interim and
alternative transit modes and routes, including a mechanism to permit substitution of transportation improvements and/or mitigation measures to achieve equivalent mitigation while protecting the interests of the affected neighborhood.

The substantive terms of the Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan shall be identified and generally accepted by City staff, prior to the approval of the first tentative map for the Project. The Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan shall be subject to the review and written approval of the City, and shall be approved prior to the issuance of the first final map for the Project. In reviewing and approving the Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan, City staff shall take into consideration the phasing of the Project in an effort to limit the potential temporal disturbance from construction activities on surrounding residential properties.

14.2 Financing.

14.2.1. Comprehensive Financing Agreement. The substantive terms of the Comprehensive Financing Agreement shall be identified and generally accepted by City staff, prior to the approval of the first small lot final map for the Project. Prior to approval of the first small lot final map for the Project, Landowner and City shall enter into an agreement defining with specificity Landowner’s obligations in connection with the financing and construction of certain infrastructure improvements in the City (the “Comprehensive Financing Agreement”). The Comprehensive Financing Agreement shall include the financing of improvements identified in Exhibit M, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

14.2.2. Advance Funding for Traffic Improvements. The City will use its reasonable efforts to require any new development in the Southport area that is greater than fifty (50) residential units to participate in the advance funding of other Southport area traffic improvements identified in the Updated Traffic Impact Fee Study.

14.3 Reimbursement. Whenever the size of any improvements set forth in this Agreement are partly attributable to other development projects, or Landowner advances funds in excess of its proportionate share for the update of any master plan or fee study in accordance with this Agreement, Landowner and the City will enter into a reimbursement 323
19 873763.17
agreement pursuant to the City’s Municipal Code Chapter 16.48. The City acknowledges that the intent of a reimbursement agreement is to provide a mechanism by which Landowner may be eligible to receive reimbursement when the reasonable cost incurred by developer in constructing public improvements exceeds the developer’s “fair share” of the cost of the improvements. Under such circumstances, Landowner may be eligible to receive reimbursement from applicable impact fees paid by the Landowner or other developers. Landowner acknowledges that except under the terms of this Agreement that a reimbursement agreement does not guarantee reimbursement. The City finances the development of other public improvements in a similar manner, and as a result, some or all of the fees that the City will collect or be entitled to collect from other development may be used to reimburse other developers for eligible public improvements constructed by them. In addition, the City may contract directly for the construction of public improvements using available or anticipated impact fees. Consequently, the City makes no representation or warranty concerning the availability or sufficiency of future fees to provide full reimbursement to Landowner. Furthermore, in some cases Landowner may be required by the terms of this Agreement or the Comprehensive Financing Agreement to pay more than its “fair share” of the cost of certain public improvements. In such cases, Landowner may not be eligible for reimbursement or may be eligible for reimbursement, but in an amount less than what Landowner might otherwise be eligible to receive but for this Agreement. Nevertheless, the City and Landowner understand and agree that, within the constraints identified above, the intent of this Agreement is to attempt to provide a mechanism for reimbursing Landowner to the extent that reasonable costs exceed Landowner’s “fair share,” and although the City cannot guarantee a particular outcome, the City shall use its best efforts to exercise its discretion in a manner consistent with this intent.

15. Levee Improvements.

15.1 Construction Easements. Prior to the approval of the first final map for the Project, Landowner shall grant to the City, without compensation or credits, temporary construction easements along the deep water ship channel, as required by the Army Corps of Engineers, Reclamation District 900, and/or the West Sacramento Flood Control Agency, for levee improvements within the Property. Landowner agrees that areas designated by those agencies shall be no build areas until such time that the levee improvements are constructed and completed.

16. Additional Obligations.

16.1 Fire. Landowner shall dedicate property to the City for the purpose of a planned fire station (relocated Station # 42) within the Project, in accordance with the Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan and Comprehensive Financing Agreement and the Southport Fire Response Study. The timing of construction shall be identified in the Comprehensive Phasing Agreement. The dedication of property and any advance funding for the design and construction of the planned fire will be eligible for impact fee credits and reimbursements in accordance with Exhibit H. in accordance with the requirements. The requirements are set forth in Exhibit H, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

16.2 School Agreement. Landowner shall enter into an agreement with the Washington Unified School District, to the satisfaction of the School District, for the phasing and development of school facilities to serve the Project. Prior to the approval of the first final map for the Project, Landowner shall provide the City with evidence of the fully executed agreement. 324
20 873763.17

16.3 Enhanced Transit/ Mobility System. The Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan and Comprehensive Financing Plan shall require Landowner to participate in a mechanism to finance capital costs for an enhanced transit system and to participate in a financing mechanism for annual operating costs.

16.5 Evacuation and Emergency Management Plan.

16.5.1. Funding of the Updated Evacuation and Emergency Management Plan. Except as otherwise provided in Section 16.5.5, Landowner shall fund its proportionate share of an update to the City’s Evacuation and Emergency Management Plan to include the Project. Proportionate share shall be determined based upon the projects participating in the update and their respective equivalent dwelling units. Landowner shall deposit funds with City within thirty-five (35) days of the Effective Date, or the date the City determines Landowner’s proportionate share, whichever occurs later.

16.5.2. Update of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in Section

16.5.5, the City shall commence the update of the Evacuation and Emergency Management Plan not more than thirty (30) days after receipt of funds from all participating projects. Once the update is commenced, the City shall move expeditiously with the development and approval of the update. Landowner expressly acknowledges and agrees that City shall not commence the update to the Evacuation and Emergency Management Plan until and unless it receives fees sufficient to cover the costs of the updates.

16.5.3. Eligibility for Reimbursement. Eligibility of Landowner for reimbursements shall be in accordance with Section 14.3.

16.5.4. Final Maps. No final maps shall be issued for the Project until the update of the Evacuation and Emergency Management Plan is completed.

16.5.5. Alternative Timing for Update to the Evacuation and Emergency Management Plan. If the City has not obtained all the funds necessary to update the Evacuation and Emergency Management Plan within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, then Landowner may request that the City commence the updates to the Management Plan specifically for the Project. Landowner shall deposit with the City one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the update for the Project; Landowner acknowledges that, notwithstanding Section

14.3, Landowner shall not be entitled to reimbursement for funding the update under this section since the updated would only include the Project. The City and Landowner acknowledge and agree that the intent of this
326
22 873763.17
section is to provide Landowner an opportunity to move forward with the Evacuation and Emergency Management Plan, in the event that the City is unable to obtain funding from all participating projects.

16.6 Planning Area 14 Rural Estate Buffer. The northern ten (10) acres within Planning Area 14 (Exhibit D) designated as Medium Density Residential (MR), shall be developed at no more than four (4) units per acre (large lots) to provide for transition to the existing Rural Estate (RE) lands on the north side of Bevan Road. In addition, a minimum twenty (20) foot wide landscaped buffer shall be developed along the south side of Bevan Road within Planning Area

14. The remainder of Planning Area 14 shall be developed within the prescribed density range identified by the Southport Framework Plan. The density range for the MR land use is currently prescribed as 5.1 to 12.0 dwelling units per acre.

17. Community Facilities District.

17.1 Financing. Landowner may request that the City initiate the formation of a Community Facilities District ("CFD") formed pursuant to the Mello Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Government Code section 53311 et seq.) for the purpose of financing the acquisition or construction of the Improvements and the issuing of bonds. The decision of whether to initiate CFD formation procedures shall be within the absolute discretion of the City.

17.2 Costs. Landowner shall be responsible for the costs of establishing any CFDs.

18. Service District for Maintenance.

18.1 Formation. Landowner waives its rights with respect to the formation of or inclusion in a special assessment district formed for the purposes of operation of Improvements or publicly owned parks and facilities. Landowner acknowledges that the services to be financed by the Assessment Districts will provide a "special benefit" to the Property (as defined in Article XIII D of the California Constitution).

18.2 Funding for Maintenance and Public Services. Landowner is required to provide a source of funding for maintenance of Infrastructure Improvements and public services for the Project, the amount of such funding shall be determined by the CFD fiscal analysis approved by the Finance Director in consultation with the Landowner. Landowner is responsible for the following maintenance and public service costs.

1. Public Safety. Landowner agrees to participate in the formation of a city wide “Public Safety” financing mechanism including fire and police personnel, equipment, and maintenance costs prior to the approval of the first small lot final map for the project.

2. 1.2 CFD Formation. Landowner may petition that the City initiate the formation of a Community Facilities District (“CFD”) formed pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Government Code section 53311 et seq.) for the purpose of financing the maintenance and public services obligations of the Project. If a CFD is the selected funding mechanism for services, the trigger for special taxes to be levied with such a CFD shall be consistent with the timing of the City incurring such service costs, as determined in the City’s sole discretion.

3. Timing. If the Landowner seeks to provide financing for services and maintenance within the Project through a CFD, the formation of the CFD shall be complete by the 327
23 873763.17
date of the approval of the first small lot final map for the Project. If the Landowner seeks to provide financing for the services and maintenance within the project through another funding mechanism, such funding shall also be in place by the date of the approval of the first small lot final map for the Project.

4. Obligation to Fund Cost of CFD Formation. Landowner shall be responsible for the costs of establishing any CFDs.

19. Home Owners Association. Landowner shall cause to be established a Home Owners Association or other non-City entity, to the satisfaction of the City, to own and maintain such privately owned Improvements within the Project as are designated by the City, and in accordance with the Comprehensive Financing Agreement. The City shall have the right to approve and enforce all bylaws for the Home Owners Association and all Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the Property as they pertain to maintenance and repair of such improvements including the golf course or any park facilities.

24 873763.17

20. Not a Part Lands.

20.1 The Not a Part Lands are not a part of the Project nor a party to this Agreement; therefore, no rights are vested to the Not a Part Lands pursuant to the Agreement.

20.2 No application for entitlements associated with the Not a Part Lands has been submitted to the City. Development of the Not a Part Lands would require separate application(s) and approval by the City, and could require amendments to the General Plan, Southport Framework Plan, and/or Zoning ordinance, depending on the project(s) proposed. In order to facilitate the City’s consideration of such application(s), should application(s) be submitted, Landowner shall consult with the owners of the Not a Part Lands, with the aim of submitting a single application encompassing that portion of the Not a Part Lands seeking such approvals. Although the environmental impacts of development associated with such approvals are analyzed generally as Alternative 5 in theEIR, Landowner understands and acknowledges that further environmental analysis of any such application will be required under CEQA. If authorized by the landowners of the Not a Part Lands to file such single application, Landowner agrees to pay for the cost of processing such single application, including costs associated with additional environmental analysis and deposits and/or filing fees. Nothing in this Agreement shall constrain the City’s exercise of its discretion with respect to whether or on what terms to approve such an application.

20.3 Consistent with existing City policy, the Master Plan Updates required by this Agreement shall anticipate the future development potential of the Not a Part Lands. Project design shall not preclude the potential future development of adjacent Not a Part Lands.

20.4 A thirty (30) foot wide agricultural buffer shall be incorporated into the Project adjacent to the Not a Part Lands. Residential uses shall not be permitted within this buffer.

This requirement shall not apply to Not a Part Lands that are rezoned to non-agricultural uses.

20.5 Prior to the recordation of the first final map in Phase I of the Yarbrough Project, the Developer shall provide a construction damage bond or letter of credit in the amount of $1,500,000. The purpose of this bond or letter of credit shall be to compensate landowners located in the 'Not a Part Lands' (the four contiguous five-acre homes/ parcels bordered by Burrows Avenue to the North within the Project area) that are contiguous to the property subject to the tentative map for the cost of damage to property improvements caused as the result of construction activities on Burrows Avenue upon initial construction to a Rural Road Standard.

Additionally, prior to the recordation of the first final map in Phase III of the Yarbrough Project, the Developer shall provide a subsequent construction damage bond, letter of credit in the amount of $1,500,000. The purpose of this bond or letter of credit shall be to compensate landowners located in the 'Not a Part Lands' (the four contiguous five-acre homes/ parcels bordered by Burrows Avenue to the North within the Project area) that are contiguous to the property subject to the tentative map for the cost of damage to property improvements caused as the result of construction activities of Yarbrough property.
'Not a Part' landowners shall be eligible to file a claim against the bonds until five (5) years after the last building permit is issued in Phase III of the Project, at which time such eligibility shall cease. In order to file a claim for compensation from this bond or other financial assurance, the 'Not a Part' landowner must submit to a pre-construction property inspection and a post-damage property inspection. Developer shall provide 'Not a Part' landowners written notice when the financial assurance has been provided, and the Developer and each owner of a portion of the 'Not 329
25 873763.17
a Part Lands" shall cooperate on scheduling the pre-construction property inspection. Construction activity shall occur no sooner than 90 days from the date notice is provided to allow time for the pre-construction inspections to be completed. Both inspections shall be performed by a licensed property or home inspector. Any claim against this bond or letter of credit shall be heard by a third-party independent arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final. Damages awarded by the arbitrator shall be paid to the 'Not a Part' landowner from the bond.

Arbitration cost to be borne by the project developer and selection of arbitrator to be agreed on by the parties.

21. Amendment or Cancellation.

21.1 Amendment by Mutual Consent. Except as otherwise provided in Section 22.4, this Agreement may be amended in writing from time to time by mutual consent of the Parties hereto and in accordance with the procedures of State law and the Municipal Code.

21.2 Insubstantial Amendments. The City Manager is authorized to approve insubstantial amendments to this Agreement on behalf of the City without a hearing before or action by the Planning Commission or City Council. “Insubstantial amendments” means amendments to this Agreement which do not relate to (1) the term of the Agreement; (2) the permitted uses of the Property; (3) the reservation or dedication of land; (4) the location and maintenance of on-site and off-site improvements; (5) the density or intensity of use of the Project; (6) the maximum height or size of proposed buildings or (7) monetary contributions by Landowner required by this Agreement. All other amendments shall require approval by the City Council in accordance with the Development Agreement Law.

21.3 Amendment of Project Approvals. Except as otherwise provided in Section 22.4, any amendment of Project Approvals relating to: (1) the permitted use of the Property; (2) provision for reservation or dedication of land; (3) the density or intensity of use of the Project; (4) the maximum height or size of proposed buildings; (5) monetary contributions by the Landowner; (6) the location and maintenance of on-site and off-site improvements; or (7) any other issue or subject not identified as an “insubstantial amendment” in Section 22.2 of this Agreement, shall require an amendment of this Agreement. Other amendments of the Project Approval(s) shall not require amendment of this Agreement unless the amendment of the Project Approval(s) relates specifically to some provision of this Agreement.

21.4 Limitation on Number of Units. Landowner acknowledges and agrees that the development of this Project shall not exceed three thousand and four (3,004) residential units. Landowner expressly waives its rights under the Development Agreement Law to request an amendment to this Agreement or the Project Approvals for the purpose of increasing the number of units for this Project to more than three thousand and four (3,004) residential units.

22. Rights and Duties of Mortgage Lenders in Possession of Property. Any Mortgage Lender (―Mortgage Lender) who comes into possession of the Property, or any portion thereof, pursuant to a foreclosure of a Mortgage, or deed in lieu of such foreclosure, shall not be eligible to apply for, receive, or exercise any rights under this Agreement or any of the Project Approvals which were vested in its predecessor in title prior to the time that the Mortgage Lender comes into possession, until the Mortgage Lender contractually assumes all of the obligations of its predecessor in title under this Agreement with respect to such property, including those obligations which accrued prior to the time that the Mortgage Lender came into possession of such property. The Mortgage Lender shall be entitled to the rights of this Agreement upon 330
26 873763.17
presentation to the City of a written agreement between the Landowner (or Subsequent Landowner) and the Mortgage Lender clearly indicating the transfer and/or assignment and assumption of the Landowner’s obligations under the Agreement.

Any such assignment and assumption by the Mortgage Lender in possession and title shall be to the satisfaction of and in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, and shall be effective when the Mortgage Lender executes and delivers to the City Clerk an express agreement to contractually assume all of the obligations of its immediate predecessor in title under this Agreement with respect to all of the Property, or portion thereof, to which it has come into possession.

23. Annual Review of Agreement.

23.1 Review Date. The annual review date of this Agreement (the ―Review Date‖) as required by Development Agreement Law shall be approximately twelve (12) months from the Effective Date and every twelve (12) months thereafter.

23.2 Procedures. The procedures for annual review shall be as set forth in the Development Agreement Law.

23.3 Fee for Annual Review. The cost for the City’s annual review of this Agreement shall be paid by Landowner.

24. Default.

24.1 Default. The failure of either party to perform any obligation or duty under this Agreement within the time required by this Agreement shall constitute an event of default. (For purposes of this Agreement, a party asserting that the other party is in default shall be referred to as the "Complaining Party" and the other party shall be referred to as the "Defaulting Party.")

24.2 Notice. The Complaining Party may not place the Defaulting Party in default unless it has first given written notice to the Defaulting Party, specifying the nature of the default and the manner in which the default may be cured, if known to the Complaining Party. Any failure or delay by the Complaining Party in giving such notice shall not waive such default or waive any of the Complaining Party's remedies.

24.3 Cure. The Defaulting Party shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of notice to cure the default. If the default cannot be reasonably cured within such time, the default cure shall be deemed cured if: (1) the cure is commenced at the earliest practicable date following receipt of notice; (2) the cure is diligently prosecuted to completion at all times thereafter; (3) at the earliest practicable date (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receiving the notice of default), the Defaulting Party provides written notice to the Complaining Party that the cure cannot be reasonably completed within such thirty (30) day period; and (4) the default is cured at the earliest practicable date, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after receipt of the first notice of default.

24.4 Remedies. If the Defaulting Party fails to cure a default in accordance with the foregoing, the Complaining Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the Defaulting Party and, except as provided in Section 25.7, may pursue all remedies available at law or in equity, including specific performance and injunctive relief. 331
27 873763.17

24.5 Additional Procedures and Remedies. The parties acknowledge that the foregoing default procedures and remedies are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the procedures and remedies set forth in City Council Resolutions 88-111 and 96-62, and Landowner waives the argument that any default taken against Landowner is not valid for failing to comply with the procedures and remedies set forth in City Council Resolutions 88-111 and 96-62.

24.6 Building Permits. In addition to and not in lieu of its other remedies, in the event that the City gives Landowner a notice of default and opportunity to cure as provided in Section 25, the City shall have the right to withhold issuance of any building permits for the Project, provided there is a nexus between the default and the structure for which the permit is being withheld. Such withholding shall cease when the default is cured in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 25.6, a nexus shall be deemed to exist if the default involves the failure of Developer to timely pay fees or undertake or complete construction of the Improvements, the golf course, any park facilities, or any public improvement identified in this Agreement, the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the Comprehensive Financing Agreement, the Comprehensive Development Phasing Plan, or any subsequent approval by the City related to the Project.

24.7 Waiver of Damages. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge that the City would not have entered into this Agreement had it been exposed to liability for damages from Landowner, and that therefore, Landowner hereby waives all claims for damages against the City for breach of this Agreement. Landowner further acknowledges that under the Development Agreement Law, land use approvals (including development agreements) must be approved by the City Council and that under law, the City Council's discretion to vote in any particular way may not be constrained by contract. Landowner therefore waives all claims for damages against the City in the event that this Agreement or any Project Approval is: (1) not approved by the City Council or (2) is approved by the City Council, but with new changes, amendments, conditions or deletions to which Landowner is opposed, subject to Landowner’s rescission rights under Section 25.8. Landowner further acknowledges that as an instrument which must be approved by ordinance, a development agreement is subject to referendum; and that under law, the City Council's discretion to avoid a referendum by rescinding its approval of the underlying ordinance may not be constrained by contract, and Landowner waives all claims for damages against the City in this regard.

24.8 Rescission. In the event that Landowner believes that the purposes of this Agreement have been frustrated by the City Council's approval of this Agreement or any Project Approval with new changes, amendments, conditions or deletions to which Landowner is opposed, Landowner shall have ten (10) days after such approval in which to provide notice to the City that this Agreement shall be rescinded, without any further liability of the parties.

25. Insurance and Indemnity.

25.1 Indemnification, Defense and Hold Harmless. Landowner shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law, the City (as defined in this Agreement) from and against any and all claims, liability, loss, damage, expense, costs (including without limitation costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with the Project, the Project Approvals or the Property (including any challenge to the validity of any provision of this Agreement or the Project Approvals, and including any actions or inactions of Landowner's contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees in connection with 332
28 873763.17
the construction, improvement, operation, or maintenance of the Property and the Project), or Landowner's failure to comply with any of its obligations in this Agreement, or Landowner's failure to comply with any current or prospective Law; provided, however, that Landowner shall have no obligations under this section for such loss or damage which was caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City, or with respect to the maintenance, repair or condition of any Improvement after dedication to and acceptance by the City or another public entity (except as provided in an improvement agreement or warranty bond). This indemnification obligation shall survive this Agreement and shall not be limited by any insurance policy, whether required by this Agreement or otherwise.

25.2 Insurance.

25.2.1. Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance. At all times that Landowner is constructing any Improvements, Landowner shall maintain in effect a policy of comprehensive general liability insurance with a per-occurrence combined single limit of one million dollars ($1,00,000) and a deductible of not more than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) per claim. The policy so maintained by Landowner shall name the City as an additional insured and shall include either a severability of interest clause or cross-liability endorsement.

25.2.2. Workers’ Compensation Insurance. At all times that Landowner is constructing any Improvements, Landowner shall maintain workers’ compensation insurance for all persons employed by Landowner for work at the Project site. Landowner shall require each contractor and subcontractor similarly to provide workers’ compensation insurance for its respective employees. Landowner agrees to indemnify the City for any damage resulting from Landowner’s failure to maintain any such insurance.

25.2.3. Evidence of Insurance. Prior to commencement of construction of any Improvements, Landowner shall furnish City satisfactory evidence of the insurance required in Sections 26.2.1 and 26.2.2 and evidence that the carrier is required to give the City at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the cancellation or reduction in coverage of a policy. The insurance shall extend to the City, its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents, employees and representatives and to Landowner performing work on the Project.

26. Binding Effect on Successors.

26.1 Assignment.

26.1.1. Landowner may not assign its interests under this Agreement without the: (1) written consent of the City Manager, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (2) execution by Landowner and the assignee of the form of assignment attached hereto as Exhibit N. Upon such assignment and assumption, Landowner shall be released from any further liability or obligation hereunder related to that portion of the Property so conveyed, and the Successor shall be deemed to step into the shoes of Landowner for purposes of this Agreement with respect to such conveyed property. For purposes of this section, it shall not be unreasonable for the City Manager to withhold consent unless and until the proposed assignment demonstrates that it has the financial capability and experience needed to complete development of the Project or respective portions thereof, in the case of a partial assignment, and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

26.1.2. Any attempt to assign any rights under this Agreement other than by executing the form of assignment attached hereto at Exhibit N shall be void and constitute a 333
29 873763.17
default under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, private parties who purchase an individual parcel defined by an approved and recorded final subdivision map that has been improved with a dwelling structure shall not be required to execute the form of assignment attached hereto as Exhibit N, shall not be considered Successors, and this Agreement shall not be binding upon them.

26.2 Subsequent Assignments. Any Successor may assign its rights under this Agreement by complying with the procedures set forth in this Agreement.

26.3 Runs with the Land. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all of the provisions, rights, terms, covenants, and obligations contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and assignees, representatives, lessees, and all other persons acquiring the Property, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein, whether by operation of law or in any manner whatsoever. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and shall constitute covenants running with the land pursuant to applicable laws, including, but not limited to, Section 1466 of the Civil Code of the State of California. Each covenant to do, or refrain from doing, some act on the Property hereunder, or with respect to any owned property: (a) is for the benefit of such properties and is a burden upon such properties; (b) runs with such properties; and (c) is binding upon each Party and each successive owner during its ownership of such properties or any portion thereof, and shall be a benefit to and a burden upon each Party and its property hereunder and each other person succeeding to an interest in such properties.

27. Miscellaneous.

27.1 Prevailing Wages. Landowner shall pay prevailing wages, and shall direct its contractors and other parties with which it has a contractual relationship with respect to the Project, to pay prevailing wages only if the same is required by the Prevailing Wage Law (Labor Code section 1720 et seq.). Landowner's indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations under Section 26.1 shall extend to any failure to pay prevailing wages in connection with the Project, only as required by State law.

27.2 Estoppel Certificate. Either Party may at any time request the other Party to certify in writing that: (1) this Agreement is in full force and effect; (2) this Agreement has not been amended except as identified by the other Party; and (3) to the best knowledge of the other Party, the requesting Party is not in default, or if in default, the other Party shall describe the nature and any amount of any such default. The other Party shall use its best efforts to execute and return the estoppel certificate to the requesting Party within thirty (30) days of the request.

The City Manager shall have authority to execute such certificates on behalf of the City.

Alternatively, Landowner and City may execute the instrument entitled “Memorandum of Development Agreement” attached hereto as Exhibit K, which shall be recorded against the Property, in lieu of recording the entire Agreement. 334

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND CONCEPTUAL MAPS FOR THE PROPERTY Yarbrough is located in the southwest village of Southport and generally bound by the Deep Water Ship Channel (DWSC) to the west, the Bridgeway Lakes communities to the north, agricultural land immediately to the east, and the southeast village of Southport beyond the former Yolo Shortline Railroad corridor. A narrow portion adjoins the southern city limits, which mark the proposed Project’s southern boundary. The diagram of the property below illustrates the location of the project.

The project’s land use designations will support development of approximately 3,004 residential units, including single-family detached homes on large- and medium-sized lots, alleyloaded homes, “Z” lots (staggered zero-lot line lots), clusters, duplexes, live/work townhomes, courtyard townhomes, and apartments. The project includes a “village core,” as envisioned by the Southport Framework Plan, located in the north-central portion of the development, connecting surrounding high- and moderate-density neighborhoods to the retail and commercial uses in the core by a network of small-scaled, tree-lined streets. A network of lakes and waterways would meander through the area. The project includes the development of a residential component (described above), open space framework, golf course, circulation plan, and infrastructure plan.

The village core consists of mixed-use development covering approximately 47.5 acres and includes a neighborhood shopping center of up to 150,000 square feet of retail uses, up to 25,000 square feet of office development, up to 40 live/work residential units, up to 40,000 square feet of community facilities (including a golf clubhouse, daycare center, banquet facilities, worship centers, and recreation club facilities), and up to 800 high- and medium-density residential units.

The clubhouse for the golf course will be integrated into the village core. The village core will adjoin the chain of lakes (described below) on its south and east sides and will provide pedestrian connectors along selected local streets.

The compact, mixed-use character of the village core is intended to offer certain trafficreduction benefits over conventional development patterns. It locates high- and medium-density residential units close to retail, is linked to the surrounding neighborhoods by a network of pedestrian and bicycle routes, and places a concentration of residences within walking distance of the bus route along Jefferson Boulevard.

An elementary school site is designated at the northern edge of the project site as part of the village core, north of Southport Parkway and west of Jefferson Boulevard. The planned school site is located on an approximately 10-acre site; 3.5 acres of the campus are located within the project boundary. North of the project boundary and the campus, 1.5 acres are proposed for a joint park facility for school use.

Amenities on the project site would include an 18-hole golf course, neighborhood parks, and two (2) lake parks. The neighborhood parks would include a 5-acre sports park at the eastern side of the project site (East Sports Park) and six (6) smaller parks integrated into the neighborhoods and the lake park. The East Sports Park would include various sports fields (baseball, softball, and soccer), picnic areas, restrooms, and parking but is not proposed to include night lighting. The 15-acre lake park may include shoreline park space, a C-1
352
873763.17
promenade/walking path along the lakes, small plazas, a par course, an open meadow for gatherings, an amphitheater, and active and passive recreation areas.

The project includes a Designated Trail System and a Lake Park which includes the Grand Meadow described above; Class 2 bike lanes along Jefferson Boulevard, Southport Parkway, and collector roads within the project site; and pedestrian connectors along selected local streets (See Open Space Map contained in Exhibit D). “Class 2” bike lanes consist of lanes painted on the street and marked by signs.

The project includes a comprehensive system of arterial and collector streets (See Circulation Map contained in Exhibit D). Jefferson Boulevard will be expanded to four (4) lanes from Linden Road (south) to Southport Parkway. Jefferson Boulevard will cross the lake on a new bridge south of the village core. Jefferson Boulevard will be built as a parkway, with a landscaped median and sides. Southport Parkway has been constructed to the intersection with Jefferson Boulevard south of the Bevan Road intersection. The extension of Village Parkway shall intersect at the same location.

The Project will implement the 2023 Master Drainage Plan.

unless idling is per engine manufacturer’s
specifications or more time is required for
safety reasons.
 To the extent practicable, manage
operation of heavy-duty equipment to
reduce emissions such as heavy-duty
earthmoving, stationary, and mobile
equipment in optimum running conditions,
which can result in 5% fewer emissions.
 To the extent practicable, employ
construction management techniques such
as timing construction to occur outside the
ozone season of May through October, or
scheduling equipment use to limit
unnecessary concurrent operation.
 Use electric equipment when feasible.
 Properly maintain equipment according to
manufacturer’s specifications.
 District Rule 2.3 requires controlling visible
emissions to not exceed 40% opacity for
more than three minutes in any 1-hour
period, which includes all (on-road and offroad) diesel-powered equipment.

for construction personnel. The awareness
training will be provided to all construction
personnel to brief them on the need to avoid
impacts on biological resources, particularly
riparian habitat, protected trees, and specialstatus wildlife (i.e., active nests of migratory birds and raptors, giant garter snakes), and the
penalties for not complying with biological
mitigation requirements. If new construction
personnel are added to the project, the contractor
will ensure that the personnel receive the
mandatory training before starting work.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1b: Install
Construction Barrier Fencing to Protect
Riparian Habitat and Other Sensitive
Biological Resources Adjacent to the
Construction Zone—The developer or its
contractor will install orange construction barrier
fencing to identify environmentally sensitive areas
that are to be avoided. The construction
specifications will require that a qualified biologist
identify riparian habitat, protected trees, and other
sensitive biological habitat on-site and identify
areas to avoid during construction. Sensitive
communities within the area required for
construction, including staging and access, shall
be fenced off to avoid disturbance in these areas.

Before construction, the construction contractor
will work with the project engineer and a resource
specialist to identify the locations for the barrier
fencing and will place stakes around the sensitive
resource sites to indicate these locations. The
protected area will be designated an
environmentally sensitive area and clearly
identified on the construction specifications. The
fencing will be installed before construction
activities are initiated and will be maintained
throughout the construction period. The following
paragraph will be included in the construction
specifications:

The contractor’s attention is
directed to the areas designated
―environmentally sensitive areas.‖
These areas are protected, and no

specifically authorized in writing by
the project proponent. The
contractor will take measures to
ensure that contractor’s forces do
not enter or disturb these areas,
including giving written notice to
employees and subcontractors.

Temporary fences around the environmentally
sensitive areas will be installed as the first order of work. Temporary fences will be furnished,
constructed, maintained, and removed as shown
on the plans, as specified in the special
provisions, and as directed by the project
engineer. The fencing will be commercial-quality
woven polypropylene, orange in color, and at least
4 feet high (Tensor Polygrid or equivalent). The
fencing will be tightly strung on posts with a
maximum 10-foot spacing.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1c: Redesign Project
or Compensate for Removal of Protected
Trees—To the maximum extent feasible, the
project design will avoid loss of any protected tree.

As part of project design, the developer shall
retain a certified arborist to survey trees within the
project boundaries, including potential contractor
staging areas, and record their accurate location,
species, size (diameter at breast height [dbh]),
and canopy diameter. If the arborist’s survey
does not identify any protected trees that would be
removed or damaged as a result of the proposed
project, no further mitigation would be necessary.

Measures will be taken to avoid impacts on
protected trees, as detailed in the City’s tree
ordinance. Protected trees that are lost due to the
project will be replaced according to the provisions
of the ordinance, which generally requires a 1-
inch-diameter replacement for each inch lost. Any
trees planted as remediation for failed plantings
shall be planted as stipulated here for original
plantings and monitored for a period of 5 years
following installation. Tree replacement shall
occur after project construction.

The developer shall enter into a tree mitigation
agreement with the City, pursuant to the City’s
tree ordinance, prior to any removal of trees.

results to the Corps for verification. If the Corps
determines that the seasonal wetlands and irrigation
ditches are not waters of the United States, the
developer will not need to obtain a Clean Water Act
Section 404 permit. If the Corps decides that these
resources are waters of the United States, and
therefore are under its jurisdiction, the developer will obtain a Section 404 permit from the Corps for
placement of fill within waters of the United States
and a Section 401 certification from the RWQCB.

In addition, the developer will identify the extent of
the irrigation ditches that are within jurisdiction of
DFG for the purpose of obtaining a Section 1602
Streambed Alteration Agreement. All conditions
that are attached to the state and federal permits

Elderberry Shrub That Will Be Avoided—Before
any ground-disturbing activities occur, the
developer will ensure that a minimum 4-foot-tall,
temporary plastic mesh-type construction fence
(Tensor Polygrid or equivalent) is installed at least
20 feet from the dripline of the elderberry shrub.

This fencing is intended to prevent encroachment
by construction vehicles and personnel. The exact
location of the fencing will be determined by a
qualified biologist, with the goal of protecting
sensitive biological resources (i.e., habitat for
VELB). The fencing will be strung tightly on posts
set at a maximum interval of 10 feet. The fencing
will be installed in a way that prevents equipment
from enlarging the work area beyond what is
necessary to complete the work. The fencing will
be checked and maintained weekly until all
construction is completed. This buffer zone will be
marked by a sign stating the following:

This is habitat of the valley
elderberry longhorn beetle, a
threatened species, and must not be

February. A qualified specialist familiar with
elderberry shrub transplantation procedures will
supervise the transplanting. The location of the
conservation area transplantation site will be
approved by USFWS before removal of the
elderberry shrub.

In the event that the elderberry shrub can be
retained on-site but occurs within 20 feet of
proposed construction activities, the developer will
ensure that dust control measures (e.g., watering)
are implemented in the vicinity of the shrub. To
further minimize impacts associated with dust
accumulation, the elderberry shrubs will be
covered by a protective cloth (i.e., burlap) during
all ground-disturbing activities occurring within
20 feet of the shrubs. The cloth will be removed
daily and immediately after ground-disturbing
activities are completed. In addition, temporary
construction fencing will be placed around the
dripline of the elderberry shrubs before the start of
construction activities to ensure that the shrub is
not inadvertently removed.

Mitigation Measure BIO-4c: Compensate for
Direct Effects on Valley Elderberry Longhorn
Beetle Habitat—In addition to implementation of
Mitigation Measure BIO-4b, the developer will
compensate for direct impacts (including
transplanting) on all elderberry stems measuring 1
inch or more at ground level (i.e., VELB habitat)
that are located within 20 feet of construction
activities. Compensation will include replacement
plantings of elderberry seedlings or cuttings and
associated native plantings in a USFWS-approved
conservation area, at a ratio between 1:1 and 8:1
(ratio = new plantings to affected stems),
depending on the diameter of the stem at ground
level, the presence or absence of exit holes, and
whether the shrub is located in riparian habitat

All construction activity within giant garter snake
aquatic and upland habitat in and around irrigation
ditches will be conducted between May 1 and
October 1, the active period for giant garter
snakes. This would reduce direct impacts on the
species because the snakes would be active and
respond to construction activities by moving out of
the way.
 Prior to any construction within suitable
giant garter snake aquatic habitat
(irrigation ditches), the habitat will be
dewatered and must remain dry for at least
15 consecutive days after April 15 and
prior to excavating or filling of dewatered
habitat.
 A USFWS-approved biologist will conduct
a preconstruction survey, no more than 24
hours before construction, in suitable
habitat and will be on-site during
construction activity in potential aquatic
and upland habitat. The construction area
will be resurveyed whenever there is a
lapse in construction activity of 2 weeks or
more.
 If a giant garter snake is encountered
within the construction work area,
construction activities must cease until the
snake moves out of the work area
unassisted. Capture and relocation of
trapped or injured individuals can be
attempted only by USFWS-permitted
personnel. The developer or its
contractors will notify USFWS within 24
hours and submit a report, including dates,
locations, habitat description, and any
corrective measures taken to protect the
snake(s) encountered. For each giant
garter snake encountered, the biologist will
submit a completed CNDDB field survey
form (or equivalent) to DFG no more than
90 days after completing the last field visit
to the project site.
 Construction personnel will participate in a
USFWS-approved worker environmentalawareness program. A qualified biologist will inform all construction personnel about

the life history of giant garter snake and
the terms and conditions of the biological
opinion. Proof of this instruction will be
submitted to the USFWS Sacramento field
office.
 To ensure that construction equipment and
personnel do not affect giant garter snake
aquatic habitat outside the construction
work area (specifically along the northern
boundary of the project area), orange
barrier fencing will be erected to clearly
delineate the aquatic habitat to be avoided.
 A post-construction compliance report
prepared by a qualified biologist will be
forwarded to the chief of the Endangered
Species Division of the USFWS
Sacramento field office within 60 days after
completion of the proposed project. This
report will include dates that construction
occurred, pertinent information about the
applicant’s success in implementing
project mitigation measures, an
explanation of any failures to implement
mitigation measures, any known project
impacts on federally listed species, any
occurrences of incidental take of federally
listed species, and any other pertinent
information.

Mitigation Measure BIO-5b: Compensate for
Permanent Loss of Giant Garter Snake
Habitat— If on-site compensation is the preferred
option, then the developer will establish a
conservation area(s) that includes suitable giant
garter snake aquatic and upland habitat. The
developer will also prepare a giant garter snake
management plan that will specify success
criteria, identify remedial measures, and require
an annual report to be submitted to DFG and
USFWS.

The City shall permit the use of the same off-site
mitigation land for more than one purpose only
where both the nature of the terrain and limitations
on the use of the land ensure that the land can in
fact on a permanent basis mitigate for more than
one category of environmental impact. In making
such a determination, the City may consult or L-11

Preconstruction Surveys for Active Burrowing
Owls and Implement the California Department for
Fish and Game Guidelines for Burrowing Owl
Mitigation, if Necessary), and Mitigation Measure
BIO-9 (Compensate for Permanent Removal of
Swainson’s Hawk Foraging Habitat).

To comply with the ESA, final compensation
requirements and mitigation ratios for the
proposed project will be determined through
consultation with the Corps and USFWS
(including preparation of a biological opinion)
before issuance of grading permits for the affected
area. Because the precise compensation ratio
depends upon a number of variables that will be
determined by USFWS during this process,
including quality of habitat, a specific performance
standard is not available for the mitigation ratio.

The City shall permit the new lake and canal
edges to be considered as habitat for on-site
restoration areas, if approved by the Corps of
Engineers and the USFWS.

Mitigation Measure BIO-6: Conduct a

Pond Turtles—To avoid construction-related
impacts on northwestern pond turtles, the
developer will retain a qualified wildlife biologist to conduct a preconstruction survey for northwestern
pond turtles no more than 48 hours before the
start of construction. The wildlife biologist will look for adult northwestern pond turtles, in addition to
nests containing northwestern pond turtle
hatchlings and eggs. If a northwestern pond turtle
is located in the construction area, the biologist
will move the turtle to a suitable aquatic site,

least 1 week will be necessary to complete
passive relocation and allow owls to

 If active western burrowing owl burrows
are found and the owls must be relocated,
the developer shall offset the loss of
foraging and burrow habitat on the project
site by acquiring and permanently
protecting a minimum of 6.5 acres of
foraging habitat per occupied burrow
identified on the project site. The
protected lands shall be located adjacent
to the occupied western burrowing owl
habitat on the project site or at another
occupied site near the project site. If
feasible, the land to be preserved may also

special-status and non-special-status
migratory birds and raptors (generally
between March 1 and August 15), a
qualified wildlife biologist (with knowledge
of the species to be surveyed) shall be

nesting surveys prior to the start of
construction and within the appropriate
habitat.
 Swainson’s Hawk, Cooper’s Hawk, and
White-Tailed Kite. Tree-nesting surveys
for Swainson’s hawk, Cooper’s hawk, and
white-tailed kite will be conducted before
any construction disturbances occurring in
or near suitable nesting habitat (valley oak
riparian woodlands and areas supporting
large oak or eucalyptus trees) within the
construction work area and up to 500 feet
outside the construction work area
between March 1 and August 15.
 Loggerhead Shrike and Non-SpecialStatus Migratory Birds and Raptors.

Tree- and shrub-nesting surveys for
loggerhead shrike and other non-specialstatus migratory birds and raptors shall be conducted prior to any tree and shrub
trimming or removal activities within and
immediately adjacent to the construction
work area between March 1 and August

15.  Northern Harrier. Ground-nesting
surveys for northern harrier and other
ground-nesting non-special-status
migratory birds shall be conducted before
any construction disturbances occurring in
annual grasslands and agricultural areas

week prior to initiation of construction activities
that will occur in suitable habitat between March 1
and August 15. If no active nests are detected
during these surveys, then no additional mitigation
is required.

If surveys indicate that special-status or nonspecial-status migratory bird or raptor nests are found in the survey area identified above for each
species, a no-disturbance buffer shall be
established around the site to avoid disturbance or
destruction of the nest site until after the breeding
season or after a qualified wildlife biologist
determines that the young have fledged (usually
late June to mid-July). The extent of these buffers
shall be determined by the biologist (coordinating
with DFG) and will depend on the level of noise or
construction disturbance, line-of-sight between the
nest and the disturbance, ambient levels of noise
and other disturbances, and other topographical
or artificial barriers. These factors will be
analyzed in order to make an appropriate decision
on buffer distances. Suitable buffer distances
may vary between species.

If construction activities are scheduled to occur
within an area that supports an active nest site or
within an established no-disturbance buffer,
construction will be delayed until after the
breeding season or until the young have fledged
(as determined by the biologist).

Mitigation Measure BIO-9: Compensate for
Permanent Removal of Swainson’s Hawk
Foraging Habitat—Ruderal grasslands and
agricultural lands (grain fields) in the project area
provide suitable foraging habitat for Swainson’s
hawk. The nearest Swainson’s hawk nest site is
located within 1 mile from the project area,
resulting in a compensation ratio of 1:1 (1 acre
replaced for every 1 acre removed). According to
the Yolo County JPA’s Revised Swainson’s hawk
Interim Mitigation Fee program (January 9, 2006),
removal of foraging habitat for Swainsons’ hawk
will be mitigated for at a 1:1 ratio (1 acre of
Swainson’s hawk foraging habitat preserved for
every 1 acre of foraging habitat lost) by either
contributing to a mitigation fund or by establishing
a suitable conservation easement. Developers

Swainson’s hawk foraging habitat do not qualify to
pay into the JPA’s mitigation fund and instead are
responsible for locating and negotiating their own
conservation easement. At a 1:1 ratio, the
proposed project will require the purchase and
management of a 587-acre conservation
easement that provides suitable foraging habitat
for Swainson’s hawk. The developer
will coordinate with the JPA to locate a suitable
easement site that contributes to Yolo County's
overall preserve design. The conservation
easement will be subject to review and approval
by DFG, the JPA, and an appropriate easement
holder prior to acquisition. If possible, the
Swainson’s hawk foraging habitat conservation
easement will be located on suitable agricultural
lands that would provide joint compensation for
the loss of prime farmland in the project area (see
page 3.2-11).

Any potential breeding habitat lost due to project
development (i.e., cottonwoods, valley oaks, or
willows) must be replaced at a minimum of 1:1
ratio onsite. Mitigation as an acreage-based

HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
Mitigation Measure HYD-1a Dry Season
Construction—Where construction activity in a
water body is unavoidable (e.g., realignment of
the existing agricultural drainages to create the
chain of lakes), and flows in the water body are
seasonal, construction should be conducted
during the dry season. This proposed mitigation is
subject to additional conditions as a result of
negotiations of the required permits from the
Corps, the DFG, and the Central Valley RWQCB.

In addition, following channel realignment, and
wherever there is potential for erosion as
determined by a qualified licensed engineer, the
new channel should be lined with cobbles or other
nonerosive materials to minimize the potential for
turbidity generated from the channel itself.

Mitigation Measure HYD-1b: Other Provisions
for Work in Surface Waters—Should dry season
construction prove infeasible, or where year-round
flows are present in the agricultural ditches, the
contractor shall implement measures to protect
surface water quality, such as flow diversions,
impoundments (e.g., coffer dams), or other
methods to avoid the direct exposure of surface
water to sediment created as part of construction
activity. As a performance standard, the
measures shall maintain Basin Plan standards for
turbidity, listed below.
 Where natural turbidity is between 0 and 5
Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs),

NTUs.
 Where natural turbidity is greater than 100
NTUs, increases shall not exceed 1%.

Where the project has potential to result in
elevated turbidity, monitoring shall be performed
at least twice daily at upstream and downstream
locations to determine whether the standards
outlined above have been met. In the event that

Mitigation Measure HYD-3: Implement Best
Management Practices for Golf Course
Operation—The golf course owner/operation
shall design and implement best management
practices based on the U.S. EPA’s guidance on
Stormwater Management for Golf Courses, which
include the following general approaches to help
protect stormwater systems.
 Develop a documented stormwater
management plan (as part of an overall
environment management plan).
 Develop a spill prevention and clean-up
plan for liquids, powders and solids; give
staff training on this at least every two
years.
 Undertake a program to monitor samples
of water entering and leaving the course—
water should be tested for nutrients,
suspended solids, BOD, pesticides, pH,
electrical conductivity and some heavy
metals; this will require expert advice.
 Educate golf players about environmental
issues that they may contribute to by
providing informational signs in the
clubhouse and on the course; experience
has found that most players respond
positively to improved environmental
management, despite some changes to
the golf course.
 Turf the sides of open stormwater drains to
prevent soil erosion.
 Stencil signs on stormwater drains to
indicate that they are not to receive solid or
liquid waste.
 Reduce nutrient requirements by
optimizing other turf health requirements,
such as soil aeration, mowing timing and
frequency, mowing height, sub-soil
drainage and pest control (U.S.

Mitigation Measure HYD-4: Develop and
Implement a Master Drainage Plan—The
developer has submitted a master drainage plan
to the City. The developer shall implement this
master drainage plan. This plan addresses the
following topics.
 A calculation of pre-development runoff
conditions and post-development runoff
scenarios using appropriate engineering
methods. This analysis will evaluate
potential changes to runoff through specific
design criteria, and account for increased
surface runoff.
 An assessment of existing drainage
facilities within the project area, and an
inventory of necessary upgrades,
replacements, redesigns, and/or
rehabilitation.
 A proposed maintenance program for the
onsite drainage system.
 Standards for drainage systems to be
installed on a project/parcel-specific basis.
 Proposed design measures to ensure
structures are not located within 100-year
floodplain areas.

Drainage systems shall be designed in
accordance with the City’s and other applicable
flood control design criteria. As a performance
standard, measures to be implemented from the
Master Drainage Report shall provide for no net
increase in peak stormwater discharge relative to
current conditions, ensure that 100-year flooding
and its potential impacts are maintained at or
below current levels, and that people and
structures are not exposed to additional flood risk.

The project will implement measures provided in
the drainage concept plan.

Prior to approving specific development projects,
the City will require project applicants to
demonstrate their project is consistent with the
recommendations and conclusions of the master
drainage plan and will implement the measures
identified in the plan. If the plan does not
adequately address the drainage impacts of the
specific development, the City will require
applicants to prepare additional analysis and
incorporate measures consistent with the scope
and performance standards associated with the
plan to ensure that drainage and flooding impacts
are avoided.

As provided in the drainage concept plan,
stormwater infrastructure will be constructed in the
Yarbrough area prior to onset of other
developments, to collect runoff during and
following construction, and to contain flows that
could exceed the existing capacity of the drainage
system.

Mitigation Measure HYD-5a Implement
Measures to Maintain Water Quality after
Construction—The following procedures are
based on the California Storm Water Best
Management Practice Handbooks. The project
developer shall design infiltration systems into the
project in order to reduce runoff and restore
natural flows to groundwater. In addition, these
infiltrations systems need to be natural systems
such as biofilters and vegetative swales.

Biofilters can be implemented in grass or
vegetated swales as part of the project design.

This will allow sediments and particulates to filter
and degrade biologically. Biofilters are most
effective when flows are slow with a shallow
depth. Slow flow provides an opportunity for the
vegetation to filter sediments and particulates.
 Structural source controls, such as covers,
impermeable surfaces, secondary
containment facilities, runoff diversion
berms, and diversions to wastewater
treatment plants, will be included in the
project design.

 In order to reduce erosion and retain water
onsite, organic amendments can be
incorporated into disturbed sites after
construction and the soil will be covered
after revegetation.
 Designated trash storage areas can be
covered to protect bins from rainfall.

The measures shall be selected to attenuate the
increase in flows from the project site and improve
water quality in site runoff to the maximum extent
possible, and shall represent the best available
technology that is economically achievable. All
measures shall be subject to the review and
approval of the City.

ensure that reasonable measures are
implemented to correct the problem. A contact
telephone number for the noise disturbance
coordinator will be conspicuously posted on
construction site fences and will be included in the
written notification of the construction schedule
sent to nearby residents. The noise disturbance
coordinator shall submit to the City of West
Sacramento Planning Division a weekly summary
of any noise complaints that have been received.

The summary shall include, but is not limited to,

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: November 20, 2024 ITEM # 11
SUBJECT:

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 24-118, ANNOUNCING THE CITY’S INTENTION TO VACATE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY, KNOWN AS MIDDLE AVENUE, LOCATED AT 600

SUTTER STREET
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [x] Staff
[ ] Other
Mark Collier, Principal Engineer
Community Development Department
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this item is to declare the City’s intent to vacate public right-of-way, known as Middle Avenue, located at 600 Sutter Street.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that City Council adopt Resolution 24-118 declaring the City’s intent to vacate public right-of-way, known as Middle Avenue, located at 600 Sutter Street and setting a public hearing for January 15, 2025 for the proposed vacation.

BACKGROUND
The Middle Avenue right-of-way was dedicated to the County of Yolo on the Sutter Gardens Acres final map on April 19, 1927. The right-of-way was transferred to the City upon incorporation. The right-of-way has never been improved as a public road.

ANALYSIS
The proposed abandonment has been requested by the adjacent property owner. Both sides of the right-of-way are owned by the same property owner. They are currently seeking approval from the City on the property for a project called XTRA Lease. Abandonment of the right-of-way will allow the owners to make full use of their property, which is located at 600 Sutter Street.

The property at 600 Sutter Street is bound by Sutter Street on the East, First Street on the South and Caltrans right-of-way on the west and north. Abandonment of the right-of-way will not result in any land locked parcels.

There are no existing or proposed utilities within the right-of-way. There is no public need or benefit to keeping the right-of-way.

Environmental Considerations
This action falls under the California Environmental Quality Act (hereafter CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning). Section 15183 states that projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review. As described above, the proposed action would abandon existing city right-of-way to facilitate the development of a by-right, permitted project that is consistent with of the General Plan and Zoning Code. The General Plan EIR was certified in 2016 and the General Plan Supplemental EIR was certified in 2024.

Commission Recommendation
N/A
Strategic Plan Integration
Approval of Resolution 24-118 is consistent with the City’s “Principals to Guide the Future” by providing for “Local Economic Development”
Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives are summarized below.

1. Adopt Resolution 24-118 declaring the City’s intent to abandon Middle Avenue right-of-way, located at 600 Sutter Street.
