ITEM #: G.3
SUBJECT: Sister City Visit: La Piedad de Michoacan, Mexico Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation from members of the planning committee for the upcoming delegation visit from Sister City of La Piedad de Michoacan, Mexico.
Background:
The Woodland City Council named La Piedad, Michoacan, Mexico as its Sister City on February 15, 2005. This designation recognizes that many Woodland residents have family ties to La Piedad, another community with a rich agricultural heritage and comparable in size. Since the inception of the sister city concept, the city of Woodland has worked to strengthen the relationship between the City of La Piedad and celebrate the rich heritage and culture that exists between both cities.
In 2005, a delegation from La Piedad visited the City of Woodland, led by former La Piedad Mayor Arturo Torres, and again in 2009, led by the late Mayor Ricardo Guzman. During these visits, there were multiple community events to celebrate their visit and the rich Mexican heritage shared by both cities. The interest in expanding the collaboration and exchange of ideas between both cities has been mutual. Each of the delegations who visited Woodland toured a variety of city, county, and state agencies and programs to learn about the technology and strategies used to support public safety, education, library services, local government, and clean water technology. Other important benefits include the donation of buses for the underserved population in La Piedad, the development of a teacher exchange program between the local university and Woodland Joint Unified School District, donation of computers, and sustainable agricultural techniques developed by the University of California Davis.
In recent years, the city of La Piedad along with other local governments have made it a priority to help develop goals and strategies to build economic opportunities and develop environmental sustainability plans through educational, governmental, and business partnerships. The relationship was re-established last October when the City, in partnership with numerous community members and organizations, hosted a delegation of over 25 representatives from La Piedad and the region of Michoacán. During the delegation’s stay they were able to visit various governmental, educational, and business-related facilities offering them an opportunity to engage in a variety of topics including micro farming and ranching, public transportation, water treatment and management, and public safety. As a result of the connections made during the visit, many new relationships were established which have resulted in meaningful outcomes, such as the donation of up in surplus equipment from the Woodland Fire Department to the La Piedade Fire Department and an educational exchange on the topic of Slow Food with several of our local food entrepreneurs.
Discussion:
The City of Woodland will warmly welcome a delegation from La Piedad from October 4-8, 2023. At the Council meeting on September 19th, Mayor Fernandez and Council Member Vega along with members of the planning committee will provide further highlights of the activities for the upcoming visit.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council receive an update on the upcoming visit from its Sister City of La Piedad de Michoacan, Mexico.

5 Utilities - Water Production and Distribution Division • Wells: The City is currently receiving approx. 12.1 million Gallons a Day (MGD) from the T-plant. At 5am on Thursday 6-29-23 the T-plant experienced another electrical issue causing it to run on generator power for 21 days. The Plant is back on utility power, they needed to bring in a backup generator to its generator until that could be repaired. At the moment of power loss our system reacted properly due to the efforts of our operators and we made up the difference in demand by using our ASR wells (ran for 4 hrs). Well #30 needs the mechanical seal replaced and these mechanical seals are usually good for 7-10yrs. (that process has started) We can run this well if necessary but we shouldn’t need to unless we experience another power issue with the T-plant. Our annual generator maintenance and load bank testing is taking place next week. Issues with the homeless at Well#28 (Freeman Park) continue but as always Woodland PD has been very helpful & responsive. • Distribution Division: We had one employee transfer from the Sewer dept. on June 19th, we hired another fulltime UMWI on July 6th, and a UMWI temp this last month making us fully staffed again. On August 10th at 1030 the T-plant delivered us a water hammer causing three simultaneous breaks. All of the Water dept. worked together on making these repairs in a very timely matter minimizing impact to our customers. On July 15th, the devastating fires on Lincoln Ave occurred, our staff assisted the Fire Dept. by making sure all valves & hydrants were fully opened and that we were providing as much PSI as the system could handle.

AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: September 19, 2023
ITEM #: H.7
SUBJECT: Carry-Over from FY2022/23 to FY2023/24
Unencumbered Appropriations
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the carry-over of unencumbered appropriations from fiscal year 2022/23 to fiscal year 2023/24, totaling $5,072,669.
Staff Contact:
Karie Farnham, Management Analyst II (530) 661-5846, [email protected] Fiscal Impact:
Approval of the staff recommendations will authorize an amendment to the FY2023/24 budget in the amount of $5,072,669. Funding for carry-over items was previously approved as part of the FY2022/23 budget for specific projects and program expenditures and is available for reappropriation in FY2023/24.
The following table summarizes the recommended appropriations by fund source:
Background:
In general, annual budget appropriations that are not expended or encumbered (set-aside to cover costs of existing contractual obligations) by year-end revert back to fund balance and are subsequently available for reappropriation in future budgets. However, each year, selected funding allocations in the preceding annual budget that support specific projects and/or priority needs may be requested for reappropriation. Reappropriation of unexpended and unencumbered funding is typically limited to funding needed to continue multi-year projects as well as funding allocated in the budget for a specific purpose that was unable to be completed prior to year-end. Carry-over requests submitted by each department have been reviewed by finance staff and the City Manager, with recommendations to the City Council based on the following criteria:
1. The fund paying for the carry-over, overall, is in good health.
2. Revenue was analyzed at a fund and department level to ensure that revenues received were consistent with anticipated fiscal year results.
3. Expenditures were analyzed at a fund and department level to ensure expenditure budgets were not in excess of anticipated levels and that adequate savings exist to fund carry-over requests.
4. Consistency of carry-over request with intent of original appropriation.
Departments submitted a total of $6,299,321 in carry-over requests for the funds described herein.
However, due to the criteria outlined above and budget appropriation authority, staff is recommending that $5,072,669 be carried-over from FY2022/23 to FY2023/24. The detailed carryover requests that are recommended for approval are attached to this staff report as Exhibit A.
Discussion:
The carry-over recommendation consists of funding requests across six (6) fund types: General (includes Measure J), Internal Service Funds, Enterprise Funds, Special Revenue, Measure F, and Measure R.
Internal Service Fund: Various appropriations are being requested from Internal Service Funds totaling $799,044. Such requests include an appropriation of $28,700 to finalize payment of a 5-year plan for purchasing body-worn cameras for the Police Department, an appropriation of $35,000 to complete the installation of required Opticom transmitters on Fire apparatus, and an appropriation of $40,779 for a variety of facility maintenance needs. The majority request for funding is $694,565 for planned vehicle replacements in FY2022/23. However, due to availability and supply constraints, the vehicles were unable to be acquired until FY2023/24.
General Fund expenditure budgets include activities for regular General Fund operations, Measure J activities, as well as the budget for American Rescue Plan (ARP) Revenue Recovery Projects. The staff recommendation for carry-overs in the General Fund includes $1,541,763 for regular ongoing operations, $327,859 for Measure J activities, and $60,000 in ARP carry-overs. General Fund carryovers include items that have been noted as high priority by the City Council, such as funding for downtown improvement efforts, appropriations in support of economic development, code enforcement abatement, and animal services contract activities. Other carry-overs are for funding that was committed but not spent in the previous fiscal year, such as the funding for North Woodland annexation costs, special events, abandoned RV towing, parking lot upkeep, and other annual operations and maintenance expenses as well as building security upgrades.
Measure J carry-over items include $100,000 for Advance Peace, $5,944 for Books and Materials and $147,000 for Facility Security at the Library, as well as $74,915 in User Group Seed funding.
Funding for User Group Seed was identified and committed by the City Council as seed money to assist various community groups with fundraising for the build-out of the Sports Park at the Community Center; this continues to be carried forward until the user groups submit the required information.
ARP Revenue Recovery carry-over request includes previously approved Thermal Imaging Cameras for the Fire Department.
Enterprise Funds carry-over request is largely a continuation of environmental/sustainability funded activities to satisfy the requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Tier 2 Food Recovery Program.
Special Revenue Funds carry-over requests are largely funding related to grant programs that can span multiple fiscal years. Requested carry-overs include funding for First-Time Homebuyer Assistance, and environmental/sustainability grant funds.
Measure F includes carry-over requests for the Sidewalk Replacement Project as well as various
park projects for continuation into FY2023/24. Part of this funding is identified each year to carry out citywide park improvement projects. These are priority projects that include deferred maintenance and replacement of structures and amenities.
Measure R includes a minor carry-over request from the Police Department to support the Bridge to Success program in partnership with Yolo County Office of Education for at-risk youth.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the carry-over of unencumbered appropriations from fiscal year 2022/23 to fiscal year 2023/24, totaling $5,072,669.

Staff Contact:
Erika Bumgardner, Principal Planner, (530) 661-5886, [email protected] Fiscal Impact:
Application and Processing of Specific Plan – As directed by City Council, the City entered into an Agreement for Advance of Funds with the project applicant in August 2017. The project applicant covered staff time, city attorney fees, and consultant costs associated with processing the application and Specific Plan through the funding agreement.
Fiscal Impact Analysis – As part of the project evaluation, a Fiscal Impact Analysis was prepared by consulting firm, BAE Urban Economics, to identify the net fiscal impact of the project on the city.
The analysis includes an evaluation of both anticipated City expenditures to provide ongoing services to the residents and employees of the WRTP Plan Area, and expected revenues anticipated if development occurs in line with the Specific Plan development projections. A detailed summary of anticipated revenue, expenditures, and net fiscal impact is provided in the Fiscal Impact Detailed Summary section of this report, as well as in the attached Fiscal Impact Analysis Memorandum (Attachment 24).
In brief, the total General Fund expenditures to support the full buildout of the WRTP amounts to nearly $4.5 million annually. The largest share of these costs is associated with police and fire services. Annual revenues to the City of Woodland General Fund by project buildout are projected at roughly $5.2 million. A majority of these revenues are associated with property-related taxes,
including direct property tax and In Lieu of Vehicle License Fee (ILVLF) revenues, as well as sales tax.
At full build out of the Plan Area, the development is projected to generate an annual General Fund surplus of nearly $740,000.
Background:
At its September 5, 2023 meeting, the City Council introduced and waived the first reading of an Ordinance adopting Prezoning for the Woodland Research and Technology Park (WRTP) Specific Plan area and approving and authorizing execution of Development Agreements by and between the City of Woodland and 1) Anne-Elizabeth Beeman and Bullseye Land Company, LLC, 2) Costalotta Partners, LLC, 3) Sewmawpaw Woodland, LLC, 4) Spencer Revocable Living Trust, and 5) Thomas C. Heaton and Olga Chengaeva, for the Woodland Research and Technology Park Specific Plan Project.
A “Prezone” is a zoning designation, formally adopted by a city, that applies to property outside city limits. The applicant is proposing zoning designations that are compatible with the proposed WRTP commercial, residential, and parks and open space development. The proposed zoning designations are provided in Attachment 1.
On September 5, 2023, the City Council approved a Resolution requesting that the Yolo Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) process an annexation application for the WRTP Plan Area / General Plan Area SP-1A. The resolution specifically directs the City Manager to file an annexation application with Yolo LAFCo to initiate this process. Following Yolo LAFCo approval, the city boundary will be amended to incorporate the Specific Plan Area in to the city limit and the adopted Prezoning will become the established zoning for this newly annexed area.
A Development Agreement is a contract between the developer and a city that identifies the development standards and conditions that will apply for the life of the project. Such Agreements provide two primary benefits. For the benefit of the applicant/owner, they allow a project with multiple phases and a several-year build out to “vest” to the standards identified in the Agreement. This reduces the risk that unexpected regulations will be enacted before completion of the project. For the benefit of the city, the Agreement allows for improvements, programs and financial obligations of the project applicant/owner resulting in greater community benefit than would otherwise be achieved through the land use regulatory process.
In order to specify the manner in which the necessary infrastructure, public facilities, and other programs or services as provided in the Specific Plan will be constructed and/or operated and financed, among other matters, the City and the project applicant/ownership group have entered into Development Agreements (Attachments 7-11). The terms and conditions of the Development Agreements are consistent with the goals and policies of the Specific Plan. Key provisions of the WRTP Development Agreement are summarized below including: Term of Agreement; Promoting Jobs; Food & Ag-Tech / Life Science Incubator; Affordable Housing Obligation; School Site Reservation; Community Facilities District Obligation; Build-to-Rent Limitations.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a second reading and adopt the following ordinances:
1. Ordinance No. 1707, Approving the Woodland Research and Technology Park Development Agreement by and between the City of Woodland and Anne-Elizabeth Beeman and Bullseye Land Company, LLC.
2. Ordinance No. 1708, Approving the Woodland Research and Technology Park Development

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Woodland does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1: Purpose
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish pre-zoning for the Project.
Section 2: Findings
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
A Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) has been prepared for the WRTP Specific Plan which includes analysis of the actions taken pursuant to this Ordinance, as well as a proposed Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program (“MMRP”). The EIR and MMRP have been considered and recommended for adoption by the Planning Commission and are adopted by separate resolution of the City Council.
General Plan
Finding: The proposed Prezoning is consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs.
Evidence: California Government Code Section 56375 provides LAFCOs shall require through conditions of approval, that territory to be annexed be zoned prior to the effective date of the annexation (Prezoning). Government Code Section 65859 provides that a city may establish the Prezoning prior to the filing of an annexation application with LAFCo. The City of Woodland Municipal Code Section 17.140.040 provides that Prezoning shall be considered in the same manner as rezoning.
The proposed Prezoning for the WRTP Specific Plan Area is consistent with the General Plan because the General Plan anticipates SP-1A (and SP-1B) will be developed as “mixed-use neighborhoods anchored by a research and technology business park in the ‘Southern Gateway’ and General Plan Policy 2.L.2 directs the development of SP-1A as a mixed-residential district anchored by a research and technology business park in the South Gateway area at County Road 25A and SR 113 and assumes 2.16 million square feet of nonresidential building space and 1,600 housing units within new growth area, and the proposed WRTP Specific Plan is consistent with these assumptions, and provides the development framework for a mix of land uses including a business/technology park, office, retail and housing of varying densities.
Section 3: Action
Prezoning for the Project Area is established as provided in the attached Exhibit A, incorporated herein by this reference. The Official Zoning Map of the City of Woodland shall be modified in accordance with this Ordinance to indicate thereon the zoning applicable to the WRTP Specific Plan Area.
Title 17, Zoning, of the Woodland Municipal Code shall be amended to include the following:
17.04.070 Woodland Research and Technology Park Specific Plan. The WRTP Specific Plan shall regulate development of land in the Specific Plan area (“Plan Area”). Where the WRTP Specific Plan is silent or ambiguous, the provisions of this Title 17, Zoning, shall apply directly or for the purpose of interpretation, as appropriate.
Section 4: Ordinance Necessary and Proper
This Ordinance is necessary and proper at this time, and is not likely to be detrimental to the adjacent property or residents, because the Ordinance is necessary to facilitate the annexation of property into the city which lies within the Sphere of Influence.
Section 5: No Mandatory Duty of Care
This ordinance is not intended to and shall not be construed or given effect in a manner that imposes upon the City or any officer or employee thereof a mandatory duty of care towards persons and property within or without the City, so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages, except as otherwise imposed by law.
Section 6: Severability
If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this ordinance are severable. This City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof and intends that the invalid portions should be severed and the balance of the ordinance be enforced.
Section 7: Savings Clause
The provisions of this ordinance shall not affect or impair an act done or right vested or approved or any proceeding, suit or prosecution had or commenced in any cause before such repeal shall take affect; but every such act done, or right vested or accrued, or proceeding, suit or prosecution shall remain in full force and affect to all intents and purposes as if such ordinance or part thereof so repealed had remained in force. No offense committed and no liability, penalty or forfeiture, either civilly or criminally incurred prior to the time when any such ordinance or part thereof shall be repealed or altered by said Code shall be discharged or affected by such repeal or alteration; but prosecutions and suits for such offenses, liabilities, penalties or forfeitures shall be instituted and proceeded with in all respects as if such prior ordinance or part thereof had not been repealed or altered.
Section 8: Effective Date and Publication
This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its adoption. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall publish or post the Ordinance as required by law.

Any sale, transfer or assignment not made in strict compliance with the foregoing conditions shall constitute a default by OWNER under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the failure of any purchaser, transferee or assignee to execute the agreement required by Paragraph (b) of this Subsection 2.4.1, the burdens of this Agreement shall be binding upon such purchaser, transferee or assignee, but the benefits of this Agreement shall not inure to such purchaser, transferee or assignee until and unless such agreement is executed. The City Manager shall have the authority to review, consider and either approve, conditionally approve, or deny any proposed sale, transfer or assignment that is not made in compliance with this section 2.4.
2.4.2 Release of Transferring Owner.

8 (b) The owner of the Retained Property shall be liable for the performance of all obligations of OWNER with respect to Retained Property, but shall have no further obligations with respect to the transferred property. (c) The assignee’s exercise, use and enjoyment of the Property or portion thereof shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if the assignee were the OWNER.
2.4.4 Subsequent Assignment. Any subsequent sale, transfer or assignment after an initial sale, transfer or assignment shall be made only in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4.
2.4.5 Termination of Agreement with Respect to Individual Lots Upon Sale to Public and Completion of Construction. The provisions of Subsection 2.4.1 shall not apply to the sale or lease (for a period longer than one year) of any lot which has been finally subdivided and is individually (and not in “bulk”) sold or leased to a member of the public or other ultimate user.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any lot and such lot shall be released and no longer be subject to this Agreement without the execution or recordation of any further document upon satisfaction of both of the following conditions:

Any such complete and executed partial assignment and assumption of this Agreement shall be submitted to CITY for approval pursuant to Section 2.4.1 of this Agreement. Within fifteen (15) days following such complete submittal, CITY shall review, and if the above conditions are satisfied, may approve the partial assignment and release and notify the purchaser, transferee or assignee in writing thereof. No such release approved pursuant to this Subsection 2.4.6 shall cause, or otherwise affect, a release of OWNER from the duties and obligations under this Agreement that are retained by OWNER and excluded from the transfer or assignment.
2.5 Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or cancelled in whole or in part by either party or successor in interest only in the manner provided for in Government Code Sections 65865.1 or 65868 or as set forth in this Agreement. Any amendment of this Agreement, which amendment has been requested by OWNER, shall be considered by the CITY only upon the payment of the applicable processing charge. This provision shall not limit any remedy of CITY or OWNER as provided by this Agreement. For
9 purposes of this section, the term “successor in interest” shall mean any person having a legal or equitable interest in the whole of the Property, or any portion thereof as to which such person wishes to amend or cancel this Agreement as applied to the portion of the Property owned by that successor in interest. The procedure for proposing and adopting an amendment to, or cancellation of, in whole or in part, this Agreement shall be the same as the procedure for adopting and entering into this Agreement in the first instance. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the CITY initiates the proposed amendment to, or cancellation of, in whole or in part, this Agreement, CITY shall first give notice to the OWNER of its intention to initiate such proceedings at least sixty (60) days in advance of the giving the public notice of intention to consider the amendment or cancellation. CITY and OWNER acknowledge and agree that this Agreement can only be amended or cancelled by mutual agreement of the CITY and OWNER or relevant successor in interest.

Upon the written application of OWNER, minor modifications and changes to the Development Plan may be approved by the City Manager without the need to amend this Development Agreement. A minor/administrative modification to the Specific Plan as described in Section 7.4.1 of the Specific Plan shall not require an amendment to this Development Agreement. It is also contemplated by CITY and OWNER that OWNER may, from time to time, seek Additional Development Approvals. Any such Development Approvals are contemplated by CITY and OWNER as being within the scope of this Agreement as long as they are consistent with the Land Use Regulations and shall, upon approval by CITY, constitute Development Approvals as referenced herein. The parties agree that any such modifications or additional Development Approvals shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement nor require an amendment to this Agreement. Other changes to the Development Agreement shall be processed in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code and applicable state law.
2.7 Termination. This Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no further effect upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
3.1 Rights to Develop. Subject to the terms of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority, OWNER shall have a vested right to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, the Specific Plan. The Project shall remain subject to all Subsequent Development Approvals required to complete the Project as contemplated by the Development Plan. OWNER shall not be required to enter into a subsequent development agreement in order to develop the Property. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation and dedication of easements or land for public purposes shall be those set forth in the Specific Plan and this Agreement. OWNER does not have an affirmative obligation to development the Property, but if the Property is developed it shall be developed according to the Development Approvals.
3.2 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority, the rules, regulations and official policies governing permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use of the Property, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to development of the Property shall be in accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations. In connection with any Subsequent Development Approval, CITY shall exercise discretion in the same manner that it exercises discretion under its police powers including the Reservations of Authority set forth herein; provided, however, that such discretion shall not prevent development of the Property for the uses and to the density or intensity of development set forth in this Agreement.
3.3 Timing of Development. The parties acknowledge that OWNER cannot at this time predict when or the rate at which phases of the Property will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not within the control of OWNER, such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion and other similar factors. Since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, (1984) 37 Cal.3d 465, that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over such parties’ agreement, it is the parties’ intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that OWNER shall have the right to develop the Property in such order and at such rate and at such times as OWNER deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the phasing of the Project shall be conducted in accordance with the Phasing Rules as defined in Section 3.5 of this Agreement and the Infrastructure Phasing Plan submitted and approved in the manner more specifically described in Section 3.5 of this Agreement. Except as may be specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, OWNER has no affirmative obligation to commence development of the Property or to develop it at a specified rate. No modification of the City’s ordinances, resolutions, policies, rules, or regulations adopted after the Effective Date whether by regulatory action, Council vote, voter initiative or otherwise, which purport to cap, prohibit or otherwise limit development
12 and/or the rate of development over time or to govern the sequence of development of land within the Specific Plan Area, shall apply to the Property.
3.4 Density Transfer Requirements. OWNER and CITY agree to the following requirements which guide unit yield assumptions within Residential Development Zones (“RDZ”) that are designated in the Specific Plan, and the process by which residential densities are established and, if permitted by the Community Development Director, transferred to other RDZ’s.
(a) Residential unit yields within each of six RDZs shall be those established by the Exhibit 6-1 and Table 6.1 in the Specific Plan. RDZ boundaries generally follow property lines for the Property and property owned by other property owners in the Specific Plan Area as existed at the time of Specific Plan approval.
(b) When any portion or all of an RDZ is mapped/subdivided (large or small lot), unit yields/densities shall be determined and allocated across the entire RDZ effected, and shall meet the Density Requirements outlined in Section 6.5.3 in the Specific Plan. (c) OWNER may develop up to the assigned number of units within the RDZ at densities permitted by the Specific Plan for the underlying zoning (LDR, MDR, HDR). (d) OWNER may request an increase in units up to 10 percent above the assigned units within the RDZ, subject to CEQA consistency review. (e) If an RDZ is developed under the assigned number of units, an RTIF fee make up shall be required in amount necessary so that OWNER pays the RTIF fee equal to the amount required for the assigned number of units, unless at time of tentative map, an alternate RDZ picks up the unit deficit, subject to CITY approval and provided that the owner of the property located outside the RDZ enters into a written agreement to the satisfaction of the CITY that it shall adjust the density of its property to ensure consistency with the overall residential yields for the Specific Plan Area.
(f) If an RDZ is developed over assigned units, overage units must be removed from an alternate RDZ at tentative map, subject to CITY approval and provided that the owner of the property located outside the RDZ enters into a written agreement to the satisfaction of the CITY that it shall adjust the density of its property to ensure consistency with the overall residential yields for the Specific Plan Area.
(g) Except for the provisions stated above, the CITY has sole authority to approve the reallocation of units or to add units within each RDZ. (h) If OWNER proposes land use changes or an increase in the number of units, then the City will reallocate units or add units within each RDZ and fees shall be updated with a nexus study and if necessary updates to the Public Facilities Financing Plan and the CIP.
3.5 Requirement for Public Infrastructure Improvements/Infrastructure Phasing Plan.
Development of the Property is contingent in part on the construction of certain area-wide infrastructure improvements in accordance with certain Infrastructure Phasing Rules established
13 by the City for the Specific Plan Area, as attached hereto as Exhibit “D” (the “Phasing Rules”), and incorporated herein by this reference. OWNER agrees to comply with the Phasing Rules in the payment for and construction of Improvements as required for development of the Specific Plan Area.
3.5.1 Concurrent with the submission of the first tentative subdivision map, OWNER shall submit to the City an Infrastructure Phasing Plan for the Property, which shall be consistent with the Phasing Rules, for review and approval by the City Engineer. Tentative map submissions to create large parcels for financing purposes, which lots could not be developed without further subdivision, would not trigger this requirement. City Engineer shall confirm that the Infrastructure Phasing Plan is consistent with this Development Agreement, the Specific Plan, the CIP, the Phasing Rules, and all applicable tentative or final subdivision or parcel map conditions. In the event the Infrastructure Phasing Plan is consistent with the requirements described herein the City Engineer shall approve the Infrastructure Phasing Plan. If it is not consistent with such requirements the City Engineer shall indicate in writing which inconsistencies must be corrected in order for the Infrastructure Phasing Plan to be approved.
The City will not approve a tentative subdivision map for any portion of the Property until an Infrastructure Phasing Plan is approved in accordance with this Section 3.5.1 and the Phasing Rules. Given the possible timing of different tentative maps proceeding in the same time period or the possibility that someone with a tentative map may decide to delay development of their property, it is likely that multiple tentative maps could have the same infrastructure requirements. Given the financing constraints of the Specific Plan that require the LDR and MDR units to construct most of the infrastructure in the Plan Area, it is imperative that every development with LDR or MDR units meet the development agreement requirement of constructing 150% or 130%, as applicable, of their RTIF infrastructure burden in accordance with the Phasing Rules. The City Engineer therefore has the authority to add replacement infrastructure conditions to an already approved tentative map (to meet the development agreement requirement of constructing 150% or 130% as applicable) if that tentative map is conditioned to construct improvements that have already been constructed. The City Engineer shall follow the same rules outlined in Exhibit D to determine the replacement infrastructure conditions. If the City anticipates multiple tentative maps may proceed with obligations to construct the same infrastructure, the City Engineer may list an alternative infrastructure requirement at the time of tentative map approval. If the City does not list an alternative infrastructure requirement, then the City still has the authority to require replacement infrastructure conditions. OWNER agrees that it will comply with the requirements to construct such replacement or alternative infrastructure as appropriate, and shall coordinate with CITY and other property owners within the Specific Plan Area in conjunction with the implementation of such replacement or alternative infrastructure requirements.
3.5.2 The OWNER shall construct public infrastructure improvements within the Specific Plan Area consistent with the Infrastructure Phasing Plan as approved by the City Engineer. City’s obligation to issue building permits for the Project shall be conditioned on construction of the public improvements consistent with the approved Infrastructure Phasing Plan and the Phasing Rules, which in some cases could restrict the cumulative number of building permits issued within the Specific Plan Area until certain public improvements are complete or until security has been provided for the required improvements in accordance with a public improvement agreement entered into by and between CITY and OWNER.
14 3.5.3 OWNER shall be eligible for fee credits for the RTIF to be paid pursuant to this Development Agreement and reimbursement from future development within the Specific Plan Area for public infrastructure improvements constructed pursuant to and in accordance with this Development Agreement. Such fee credits and reimbursement shall be provided in accordance with Section 4.2.5 of this Agreement, the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules and the Financing Plan prepared for the Specific Plan, as approved by City Council and as it may be updated from time to time.
3.6 Changes and Amendments. The parties acknowledge that development of the Project will require Subsequent Development Approvals including but not limited to approval of tentative and final subdivision maps for large and small parcels and design review for development of new uses on the Property. As necessary or appropriate, OWNER shall apply for Subsequent Development Approvals and CITY shall process and act on such application in accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority. Unless otherwise required by law, as determined in CITY’s reasonable discretion, Subsequent Development Approvals shall be deemed “minor” and not require an amendment to this Agreement provided such approvals do not:
(a) Alter the permitted uses of the Property as a whole; or, (b) Increase the density or intensity of use of the Property as analyzed under the Specific Plan CEQA document, which may include limited adjustments as authorized by the City; or,
(c) Increase the maximum height and size of permitted buildings beyond what is permissible under the Specific Plan; or,
(d) Delete a requirement for the reservation or dedication of easements or land for public purposes within the Property as a whole; or, (e) Constitute a project requiring a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report pursuant to Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code.
3.7 Reservations of Authority.
3.7.1 Limitations, Reservations and Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the CITY shall not be prevented from applying new rules, regulations and policies upon the OWNER, nor shall a development agreement prevent the CITY from denying or conditionally approving any subsequent development project application on the basis of such new rules, regulations and policies where the new rules, regulations and policies consist of the following:
(a) Processing fees and charges of every kind and nature imposed by CITY to cover the costs of processing applications for Development Approvals or for monitoring compliance with any Development Approvals.
15 (b) Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals and any other matter of procedure.
(c) Regulations, policies, and rules governing engineering and construction standards and specifications applicable to public and private improvements, including all uniform codes adopted by the CITY and any local amendments to those codes adopted by the CITY; provided, however, that, OWNER shall have a vested right to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, the standards and specifications that are expressly identified in the Specific Plan. Further, for the first ten (10) years following the Effective Date, the City shall not implement a change to the City’s engineering standards and specifications that would result in an increase to the cost of construction of the required public improvements for a subdivision located within the Property by more than 2% of the estimated cost of the public improvements prior to such change.
(d) Regulations imposing Development Exactions; provided, however, that no subsequently adopted Development Impact Fees or fees levied pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be applicable to development of the Property except for those Project Fees set forth in Exhibit K to this Agreement, which Project Fees may be increased from time to time in accordance with applicable State law, or as contemplated in this Agreement. (e) Regulations which may conflict with this Agreement or the Development Plan but which are reasonably necessary to protect the public health and safety. To the extent possible, any such regulations shall be applied and construed so as to provide OWNER with the rights and assurances provided under this Agreement. (f) Regulations which do not conflict with those rules, regulations and policies set forth in this Agreement or the Development Plan. Any regulation, whether adopted by initiative or otherwise, limiting the rate or timing of development of the Property shall be deemed to conflict with the Development Plan and shall therefore not be applicable to the development of the Property.
(g) Regulations which may conflict with this Agreement or the Development Plan, but to which the OWNER consents in writing.
3.7.2 Subsequent Development Approvals. This Agreement shall not prevent CITY, in acting on Subsequent Development Approvals, from applying Subsequent Land Use Regulations which do not conflict with this Development Agreement or the Specific Plan in the form in effect on the Effective Date of this Development Agreement, nor shall this Agreement prevent CITY from denying or conditionally approving any Subsequent Development Approval on the basis of the Existing Land Use Regulations or any Subsequent Land Use Regulation not in conflict with the Specific Plan.
3.7.3 Modification or Suspension by State or Federal Law. In the event that State or Federal laws or regulations, enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement, prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such State or
16 Federal laws or regulations, provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions impractical to enforce. In the event OWNER alleges that such State or Federal laws or regulations preclude or prevent compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, and the CITY does not agree, the OWNER may, at its sole cost and expense, seek declaratory relief (or other similar non-monetary remedies); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 3.7.3 shall impose on CITY any monetary liability for contesting such declaratory relief (or other similar non-monetary relief).
3.7.4 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that CITY is restricted in its authority to limit its police power by contract and that the foregoing limitations, reservations and exceptions are intended to reserve to CITY all of its police power which cannot be so limited.
This Agreement shall be construed, contrary to its stated terms if necessary, to reserve to CITY all such power and authority which cannot be restricted by contract.
3.8 Public Works. If OWNER is required by this Agreement to construct any public works facilities which will be dedicated to CITY or any other public agency upon completion, and if required by applicable laws to do so, OWNER shall perform such work in the same manner and subject to the same requirements as would be applicable to CITY or such other public agency should it have undertaken such construction.
3.9 Acquisition of Offsite Real Property Interests. In any instance where OWNER is required pursuant to the Infrastructure Phasing Plan to construct any Improvements Outside Specific Plan Area, OWNER shall at its sole cost and expense provide or cause to be provided, the real property interests necessary for the construction of such public improvements (the “Offsite Property”). In the event OWNER is unable, after exercising reasonable efforts, including, but not limited to, the rights under Sections 1001 and 1002 of the Civil Code, to acquire the Offsite Property necessary for the construction of the Improvements Outside Specific Plan Area, and if so instructed by OWNER and upon OWNER’S provision of adequate security for costs CITY may reasonably incur, CITY agrees to use reasonable and diligent good faith efforts to acquire the Offsite Property from the owner or owners of record by negotiation to the extent permitted by law and consistent with this Agreement. If CITY is unable to acquire the Offsite Property by negotiation within sixty (60) days after OWNER’s written request, CITY shall, in accordance with the procedures established by law, use its power of eminent domain to acquire the Offsite Property at a public hearing noticed and conducted in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235 for the purpose of considering the adoption of a resolution of necessity concerning the Offsite Property, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.9. The CITY and OWNER acknowledge that the timelines set forth in this Section
3.9 represent the maximum time periods which CITY and OWNER reasonably believe will be necessary to complete the acquisition of any Offsite Property. CITY agrees to use reasonable good faith efforts to complete the actions described within lesser time periods, to the extent that it is reasonably able to do so, consistent with the legal constraints imposed upon CITY. OWNER shall pay all costs associated with such acquisition or condemnation proceedings. This section
3.9 is not intended by the parties to impose upon the OWNER an enforceable duty to acquire land or construct any public improvements on land not owned by OWNER, except to the extent that the OWNER elects to proceed with the development of the Project, and then only in accordance with valid conditions imposed by the CITY upon the development of the Project
17 under the Subdivision Map Act or other legal authority. CITY and OWNER acknowledge and agree that Government Code Section 66462.5 shall apply to the installation of public improvements on Offsite Property. CITY and OWNER further agree that the parties may explore alternative options for the required Improvements Outside Specific Plan Area, including but not limited to relocating to an alternative site, prior to proceeding with condemnation.
3.9.1 Owner’s Option to Terminate Proceedings. CITY shall provide written notice to OWNER no later than fifteen (15) days prior to making an offer to the owner of the Offsite Property. At any time within that fifteen (15) day period, OWNER may, at its option, notify CITY that it wants CITY to cease all acquisition proceedings with respect to the Offsite Property, whereupon CITY shall cease such proceedings. CITY shall provide written notice to OWNER no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the hearing on CITY’S intent to consider the adoption of a resolution of necessity as to any Offsite Property. At any time within that fifteen (15) day period, OWNER may, at its option, notify CITY that it wants CITY to cease condemnation proceedings, whereupon CITY shall cease such proceedings. If OWNER does not notify CITY to cease condemnation proceedings within said fifteen (15) day period, then the CITY may proceed to consider and act upon the Offsite Property resolution of necessity. If CITY adopts such resolution of necessity, then CITY shall diligently institute condemnation proceedings and file a complaint in condemnation and seek an order of immediate possession with respect to the Offsite Property.
3.9.2. Acquisition of Offsite Real Property Interests within Specific Plan Area.
CITY and OWNER acknowledge that for improvements located outside of OWNER’s Property but within the Specific Plan Area, the other property owners are required to dedicate property needed for public infrastructure to be constructed by OWNER pursuant to the terms of the other property owners’ development agreements, including, without limitation, Section 3 of the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules. Even if the property is not included in the CIP, the rules set forth in Section 3 of the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules shall be followed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that another property owner within the Specific Plan Area does not dedicate such property as required by their development agreement, CITY and OWNER may take the steps set forth in this Section 3.9 to acquire such property.
3.10 Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that other public agencies not within the control of CITY possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the Property separately from or jointly with CITY and this Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies. CITY agrees to cooperate, at no cost to CITY, with OWNER in obtaining any required permits or compliance with the regulations of other public agencies provided such cooperation is not in conflict with any laws, regulations or policies of the CITY.
3.11 Utilities. The Project shall be connected to all utilities necessary to provide adequate water, sewer, gas, electric, and other utility service to the Project in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
3.12 Wastewater Treatment Capacity. CITY and OWNER agree that there is capacity in the CITY’s wastewater treatment facility to serve: (1) existing residents and businesses that
18 are already hooked up to the facility; (2) anticipated residents and businesses through build-out of the City’s existing General Plan; and (3) the Project. CITY and OWNER acknowledge and agree that reserving this capacity for the Project, such that sewer hookups shall be available at such time as they are needed as the Project builds out, is a material element of the consideration provided by CITY to OWNER in exchange for the benefits provided to CITY under this Agreement. The Parties recognize the availability of sufficient sewer capacity may be affected by regulatory or operational constraints that are not within the CITY’s discretion. To the extent the availability of sewer capacity is within the CITY’s discretion (e.g., whether to extend sewer service to areas not currently within the CITY’s service area), CITY shall not approve providing such capacity to areas currently outside the CITY’s service area if this approval would prevent or delay the ability of the CITY to provide sewer hookups to the Project as the Project requires hook-ups or connections. This provision shall not affect the CITY’s ability to provide sewer service within its service boundaries or within the existing CITY boundaries as they exist on the effective date of this Agreement, and as to such connections, the Parties requesting sewer service shall be connected on a first come first served basis. OWNER shall pay the applicable connection charge in effect pursuant to City-wide ordinance at the time of building permit issuance. OWNER acknowledges that connection charges may increase substantially over time and that the cost to comply with the CITY’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit, as may be approved from time to time during the term of this Agreement, may be substantial.
3.13 Water Availability. CITY and OWNER agree that the CITY’s has adequate water availability to serve: (1) existing residents and businesses that are already connected to CITY’s water system; (2) anticipated residents and businesses through build-out of the City’s existing General Plan; and (3) the Project. CITY and OWNER acknowledge and agree that reserving this capacity for the Project, such that water connections shall be available at such time as they are needed as the Project builds out, is a material element of the consideration provided by CITY to OWNER in exchange for the benefits provided to CITY under this Agreement. The Parties recognize the availability of sufficient water availability may be affected by environmental, regulatory or operational constraints that are not within the CITY’s discretion. To the extent the availability of water is within the CITY’s discretion (e.g., whether to extend water service to areas not currently within the CITY’s service area), CITY shall not approve providing such capacity to areas currently outside the CITY’s service area if this approval would prevent or delay the ability of the CITY to provide water connections to the Project as the Project requires water connections. This provision shall not affect the CITY’s ability to provide water service within its service boundaries or within the existing CITY boundaries as they exist on the effective date of this Agreement, and as to such connections, the Parties requesting water service shall be connected on a first come first served basis. OWNER shall pay the applicable connection charge in effect pursuant to City-wide ordinance at the time of building permit issuance. OWNER acknowledges that connection charges may increase substantially over time.
3.14 Right to Farm. OWNER acknowledges and shall comply with the requirements of Woodland Municipal Code Chapter 9.52, “Right to Farm”, including but not limited to the requirements to record deed restrictions against property located within 500 feet of agricultural land or agricultural operations in any deed transferring any right, title or interest in the Property or any portion thereof, as more specifically set forth in Section 9.52.060 of the Woodland Municipal Code.
19 4. PUBLIC BENEFITS.
4.1 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that development of the Property will result in substantial public needs which will not be fully met by the Development Plan and further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement confers substantial private benefits on OWNER which should be balanced by commensurate public benefits. Accordingly, the parties intend to provide consideration to the public to balance the private benefits conferred on OWNER by providing more fully for the satisfaction of the public needs resulting from the Project. Significant public benefits provided by OWNER pursuant to the terms of this Agreement include but are not limited to construction of or contribution to the construction portions of the Yard and greenbelt areas as contemplated by the Specific Plan, funding and constructing public infrastructure for the Specific Plan Area, contribution to the construction of the regional interchange project at State Route 113, and the provision of affordable housing within the Project.
4.2 Development Impact Fees and RTIF.
4.2.1 Amount and Components of Development Impact Fees. OWNER shall pay the Development Impact Fees listed in Exhibit “K”, WRTP Project Fees and other fees, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. OWNER shall not be required to pay newly enacted Development Impact Fees or other fees that are not listed in Exhibit “K” in conjunction with the Project. The Development Impact Fee and other fee amounts to be paid by OWNER shall be the amounts that are in effect at the time such amounts are due. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the ability of the CITY to amend the amounts of existing Development Impact Fees or other fees as permitted by State law, except that OWNER and CITY agree that new fee categories cannot be added to this project without mutual written agreement amending this Agreement. Additionally, nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the ability of other public agencies that are not controlled by CITY to impose and amend, from time to time, Development Impact Fees established or imposed by such other public agencies, even though such Development Impact Fees may be collected by CITY.
4.2.2 Research and Technology Infrastructure Fee. In addition to all Development Impact Fees which shall be paid by OWNER, OWNER shall pay the Research and Technology Park Infrastructure Fee (the “RTIF”) as established by the City Council and as may be updated from time to time in accordance with this Agreement and other development agreements entered into by and between the City and OWNERs within the Specific Plan Area.
The RTIF shall be paid by OWNER in the amounts as established pursuant to that certain Woodland Research and Technology Park Development Impact Fee Nexus Study dated July 2023, prepared by Economic and Planning Systems, Inc. (the “RTIF Report”), which is incorporated herein by this reference, subject to annual adjustment as set forth in the RTIF Report, and further subject to periodic updates to the RTIF report as provided for herein.
OWNER acknowledges and agrees that the RTIF is established pursuant to this and other development agreements entered into by and between OWNER and other property owners within the Specific Plan Area for specified land uses in a manner so as to help ensure the completion of the public facilities contemplated by the Specific Plan and the feasibility of all proposed land uses within the Specific Plan Area. Accordingly, OWNER agrees as follows:
20 (a) OWNER understands, acknowledges and agrees that the RTIF is calculated to ensure sufficient funding to complete the Improvements contemplated by the Specific Plan as a whole, but that some land uses, including certain residential uses, will pay RTIF in excess of their proportionate share of the total cost of those public facilities in order to facilitate the build out of other land uses contemplated within the Specific Plan. OWNER hereby agrees to pay such fees in the amounts and the manner set forth in this Agreement and the RTIF Report, as it may be updated from time to time, to provide the public benefits that will be derived from successful development of all land uses in the Specific Plan Area. (b) OWNER and City further acknowledge and agree that portions of the RTIF shall be updated prior to issuance of the first building permit for the Project based on more detailed engineering work that will be conducted on the improvements included in the Capital Improvement Plan. Such modifications are described in Exhibit E, “WRTP CIP Modification”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Following the completion of the modifications described in Exhibit E, the City shall update the RTIF to account for such modifications. OWNER hereby agrees and consents to such modifications of the RTIF, provided that the allocation of such fees is consistent with the methodology utilized in the RTIF Report.
(c) OWNER and CITY further acknowledge and agree that certain projects that are to be funded by the RTIF are intended in whole or in part to address impacts created by development in the Spring Lake Specific Plan Area located adjacent to the Specific Plan Area that includes the Property. These projects have been included in the projects to be funded by the RTIF as a form of equitable swap in exchange for certain projects constructed by developers in the Spring Lake Specific Plan that partially benefit the Specific Plan Area that includes the Property. OWNER acknowledges and explicitly consents to the inclusion of such projects in the calculation of the RTIF and acknowledges that the RTIF may be used to fund such projects. OWNER further acknowledges and agrees that it OWNER shall not be eligible for reimbursement from property owners or developers of property located within the Spring Lake Specific Plan Area for any projects that are funded by the RTIF. (d) OWNER and CITY further acknowledge and agree that for properties that are designated in the Land Use section of the Specific Plan as Village Center Mixed Use (VCMU), in the event that the ground floor development fronting Road B is developed for a non-residential use, and OWNER constructs upper floor residential units, above the non-residential buildings fronting Road B, OWNER shall not be required to pay the RTIF on any such upper floor residential units. Further, for properties that are designated in the Land Use section of the Specific Plan as High Density Residential with Community Commercial Overlay (HDR/CCO), in the event that (1) the total unit yield for Residential Development Zone (“RDZ”) 6 as set forth in Table 6.1 of the Specific Plan has been constructed and occupied by residents, and (2) OWNER constructs upper floor residential units above the non-residential buildings fronting Road B which upper floor residential units are in excess of the required total unit yield for RDZ 6, OWNER shall not be required to pay the RTIF on any such upper floor residential units.
4.2.3 Time of Payment. The Development Impact Fees and RTIF shall be paid to CITY prior to the issuance of building permits for each residential unit. Notwithstanding the
21 foregoing, deferral of the payment of any RTIF fees may be granted pursuant to a separate agreement approved by CITY pursuant to CITY’s deferred impact fee policy for non-residential development, if applicable. At CITY’s discretion, CITY shall be allowed to defer RTIF fees to Certificate of Occupancy provided that the fee paid is the fee in effect on the date it is paid.
Payment of RTIF fees shall be subject to the provisions of credits as provided for in this Agreement and the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules.
4.2.4 Minimum RTIF Fees. OWNER specifically agrees that for each Low Density Residential unit developed in a LDR or VCLDR zone shall pay, at a minimum, the RTIF fee that is established for the 2,000-3,000 square foot unit, even for those units that are less than 2,000 square feet. OWNER further agrees that for each Medium Density Residential unit developed in a MDR or VCMDR zone shall pay, at a minimum, the RTIF fee that is established for the 1,000-2,000 square foot unit, even for those units that are less than 1,000 square feet..
4.2.5 Credits. OWNER shall be entitled to credit against the fees required pursuant to Subsection 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 for the dedication of easements, land and/or the construction of improvements required pursuant to this Agreement, the CIP, the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules, the Phasing Rules, OWNER’s Infrastructure Phasing Plan and the applicable Subdivision Agreements/Tentative Map conditions for the Project. OWNER shall not receive credits for Improvements constructed pursuant to this Agreement in an amount greater than the Engineer’s estimate of the cost of such improvements as set forth in the CIP, adjusted on an annual basis by the Construction Cost Index as published from time to time by the Engineering News-Record (“CCI”). Similarly, OWNER shall receive credits toward the RTIF for land dedicated to the CITY for public infrastructure improvements based on the costs for such land as set forth in the CIP, adjusted on an annual basis by CCI. The Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules provides further detail on the terms pursuant to which OWNER will receive credits and reimbursement for dedication of easements, land and construction of Improvements in conjunction with the development of the Property, and OWNER acknowledges and agrees that it is subject to and shall comply with the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules.
4.3 Responsibility for Funding Master Planning and Design Documents and CIP Modification Work. OWNER shall be required to fund the cost of certain Master Plans and the design of certain public improvements, as more specifically set forth in Exhibit “F” (“Master Planning and Design Obligations”), attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and to fund the cost of the analysis and consideration of the proposed modifications to the CIP as described in Section 4.2.2(b) and Exhibit “E” (CIP Modification Work”). Such funding shall be provided by OWNER and other property owners in the Specific Plan Area at the times as required by this Agreement, including the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules and the Phasing Rules. Except as otherwise set forth in the Master Planning and Design Obligations, the Master Plans and the design documents and the CIP Modification Work are the cumulative responsibility of the owners of property within the Specific Plan Area, and to the extent the OWNER is required to pay more than its proportionate share of the cost of any of such Master Plans and design documents or CIP Modification Work, OWNER shall be eligible for reimbursement from other property owners within the Specific Plan Area pursuant to the terms of the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules. CITY and OWNER shall cooperate in the preparation of these documents.
22 4.4 Dedications for Public Improvements. OWNER agrees to dedicate to CITY certain property to be used for public facilities and improvements as more specifically set forth in Exhibit “G” (“Public Dedications”), attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Such dedications shall be made by OWNER at the times as required by this Agreement and the Phasing Rules so as to provide dedications when needed for the extension of infrastructure or public amenities for the Project and other development in the Specific Plan Area. These dedications may be required ahead of development of OWNER’s Property.
OWNER may be eligible for credits and, if applicable, reimbursement from other property owners within the Specific Plan Area for the dedications required by this Agreement if the real property to be dedicated is included in the CIP and reflected in the RTIF. Credit or reimbursement for such real property shall be provided as set forth in Section 4.2.5 of this Agreement, which credits and reimbursements shall be paid in accordance with the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules. Real property that is set forth in Exhibit “G” but is not included in the CIP and reflected in the RTIF shall not be eligible for credit or reimbursement from other property owners or the RTIF. If real property is needed for temporary drainage of agricultural runoff prior to the full implementation of the storm drainage system reflected in the CIP, then the dedicating property owner shall dedicate the drainage easement to the developing land owner without compensation consistent with the timing of other public dedications in this agreement. CITY and OWNER acknowledge and agree that the property that must be dedicated to CITY may be modified from time to time through updates to the CIP after approval of this Agreement or in conjunction with the processing of subdivision maps for the Property. OWNER shall make such dedications in accordance with the CIP as it may be modified from time to time, in accordance with the timing for dedication as set forth in the approved Infrastructure Phasing Plan and Exhibit G.
4.5 Responsibility for Construction of Public Improvements.
4.5.1 Timely Construction of Public Infrastructure. As part of the development of the Project, OWNER shall be required to construct portions of certain area wide infrastructure that will serve the Specific Plan Area. Such infrastructure shall be the infrastructure that will be required pursuant to the Infrastructure Phasing Plan that shall be developed by OWNER pursuant to Section 3.5.1 of this Agreement. OWNER shall be responsible for the timely construction and completion of all Improvements required for the Project in accordance with the Infrastructure Phasing Plan and any and all tentative subdivision map conditions. All required Improvements for each Subdivision Map, shall be completed and operational prior to City approval of the final subdivision map, unless OWNER enters into a Public Improvement Agreement with the City for such Improvements and provides adequate security for such improvements in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and Woodland Municipal Code Chapter 16.52, as it may be amended from time to time, in which case such Improvements shall be constructed within the times provided in the Public Improvement Agreement.
4.5.2 Reimbursement for Public Infrastructure. Upon completion of the Improvements for an applicable portion of the development of the Property as required pursuant to this Agreement, CITY and OWNER shall enter into a reimbursement agreement that will provide for reimbursement of OWNER to the extent that the Engineers estimate of the cost of such improvements as set forth in the CIP (and adjusted by CCI) exceeds the amount of the RTIF applicable to the applicable portion of the Property developed by OWNER.

In the event of any inconsistencies between the Affordable Housing Ordinance and the WRTP Affordable Housing Plan, the WRTP Affordable Housing Plan shall apply to the Project.
4.8 Supplemental School Fee. OWNER acknowledges that Costalotta Partners, LLC, the owners of the “Beeman North” property will be entering into good faith negotiations with Woodland Joint Unified School District (“WJUSD”) for the potential purchase of property to be used as a school campus. OWNER will participate in good faith negotiations involving the payment of a supplemental school fee towards the construction of facilities that provide capacity for students generated by the Specific Plan. OWNER agrees that if a supplemental fee shall be paid by OWNER, then such supplemental fee shall be deposited with the City of Woodland at the time of building permit issuance, placed in a segregated account, and held by City for future payment to WJUSD for the construction of the WRTP elementary school, or as otherwise specified in the School Site Purchase and Sale Agreement. In the event WJUSD does not proceed with construction of a school at the School Site, or other project(s) specified in the School Site Purchase and Sale Agreement by issuance of the 800th residential building permit in the Specific Plan Area, then the supplemental fee funds may be used by the City to construct public improvements included in the CIP, as it may be amended from time to time, at the discretion of the City
4.9 Dedication of Land for Business Incubator Property. Within the first 500,000 square feet of non-residential construction, OWNER shall set aside land sufficient for the construction of no less than 30,000 square feet of research and technology space dedicated to the support of new technology-based companies, such as start-up/business incubator space or academic-industry collaboration space. CITY and OWNER shall work together to determine an appropriate operator for such space, and upon such determination, the research and technology land shall be dedicated to such operator at no cost.
4.10 Right to Continue Use of Agricultural Well. CITY and OWNER understand and acknowledge that there exists within the Specific Plan Area agricultural wells that provide irrigation for certain other property that remains in agricultural use. The Parties
24 agree that OWNER may operate any such agricultural wells owned by OWNER to serve agricultural uses on OWNER’s property or other property, provided that such use must be in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, including but not limited to the Yolo Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan adopted by the Yolo Subbasin Groundwater Agency, and any regulations or directives promulgated thereunder. OWNER shall be solely responsible to retain any and all property interests necessary for continuing operation of any such agricultural well, and for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as the Groundwater Sustainability Plan.
4.11 Abandonment of County Road 100A. OWNER shall work with the California Department of Transportation (“CalTrans”), Yolo County and CITY to take such steps as are necessary to abandon County Road 100A, which is located adjacent to OWNER’s Property. OWNER shall, at no cost or expense to CITY, and with no credits or reimbursements through this Agreement or the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules, ensure that such public right of way or private access easements are provided to ensure that any and all properties that would be landlocked as a result of the abandonment of County Road 100A have adequate access to public roads from their property, and OWNER, in conjunction with its neighboring property owner that also fronts County Road 100A, shall be responsible to secure all necessary approvals, consents and actions as necessary to effectuate the abandonment of County Road 100A. OWNER shall work expeditiously to accomplish this provision in a timely manner.
4.12 Build to Rent Development. OWNER agrees that neither it nor any successor or assign to this Agreement shall develop single family residences in the Low Density Residential, Village Center Low Density Residential, Village Center Medium Density Residential or Medium Density Residential zones located north of Marston Drive in the Specific Plan Area as shown on the Development Plan attached hereto as Exhibit “C”, as a “build to rent single family development”. For purposes of this Agreement, a “build to rent single family development” is a single family residential subdivision or a portion of such subdivision that is built for the purpose of renting, rather than selling the constructed homes.
5. FINANCING OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
5.1 Financing Districts or Alternative Mechanisms. If deemed appropriate, CITY and OWNER will cooperate in the formation of any special assessment district, community facilities district or alternate financing mechanisms to pay for the construction and/or maintenance and operation of public infrastructure facilities or Improvements required as part of this Agreement, the CIP and the approved Infrastructure Phasing Plan, provided, however, that to the extent that a district or alternative financing mechanism is established for the purpose of bonding to raise funds for construction of infrastructure or payment of fees, the boundaries of such district will be limited to separate improvement areas that correspond with the boundaries of the tentative map (or tentative maps) within each Infrastructure Phasing Plan. The RTIF fees generated from the improvement area may be used to fund any improvement in the CIP. Such improvement areas shall be shown in the Infrastructure Phasing Plan approved by the City pursuant to this Development Agreement. CITY also agrees that, to the extent any such district or other financing entity is formed and sells bonds in order to finance such Improvements, OWNER may receive credits for the RTIF to be paid by OWNER, and may be reimbursed to the extent that OWNER spends funds or dedicates land for the establishment of public improvements that are
25 included in the CIP, provided that such fee credits and reimbursements must be in conformance with the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules and any individual reimbursement agreements entered into by and between CITY and OWNER. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring CITY or the City Council to form any such district or to issue and sell bonds. If bonds are sold then the proceeds of those bonds shall be used to reimburse the public improvements that are listed in the CIP and required by the conditions of the associated development.
CITY agrees to use reasonable efforts to develop and implement such financing mechanisms subject to applicable public hearing and election requirements of applicable State and, if tax-exempt bonds are to be issued, federal law, the existing regulations and the customary and reasonable industry standards for the development of such financings. OWNER and CITY acknowledge and agree that the establishment of a financing district and the issuance of bonds supported by the special taxes are dependent on many factors that are not known at this time.
The viability of the financing, the amount of special taxes for debt service, and available bond proceeds will be dependent on several factors existing at the time the bonds are sold, including, but not limited to, the financial markets, interest on tax exempt financings, housing market, value of homes in the area, absorption rates for home sales in the area, bond underwriting criteria and ratings by bond-rating agencies. Fee credits that are generated from bond sales shall remain with the land that they were bonded against and can be used as a credit against RTIF fee payments.
These fee credits cannot be sold or transferred.
CITY and OWNER acknowledge the infrastructure costs needed to support the project are substantial and may compromise the feasibility or timely build out of the Project and its associated benefits. CITY and OWNER further acknowledge this is especially the case for the development of residential units in the MDR and HDR zones. As such, both parties agree to work cooperatively to identify and pursue external funding sources, multiple financing strategies and tools to defray project infrastructure improvement costs. Further, the City anticipates that adjustments to the Specific Plan and associated approvals may be needed in the future, and the City will conduct further evaluation of the Specific Plan, CIP and City fee program after Specific Plan approval to determine what adjustments are appropriate.
5.2 Sports Park Community Facilities District. OWNER acknowledges the existence of the Spring Lake Community Facilities District (“Sports Park CFD”) which was created pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act, as set forth in Government Code Section 53311 et seq. for the purpose of funding the ongoing operation of the Woodland Sports Park, which provides regional park facilities that will serve the Property. OWNER voluntarily consents to and prior to recordation of each small lot final subdivision map or large lot map (for High Density and Mixed Use Residential units) for the Project shall take whatever affirmative action it needs to take on its part to ensure that all portions of the Project and Property that are designated as Low Density Residential, Village Center Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Village Center Medium Density Residential and High Density Residential (including units above Village Center Mixed Use and Community Commercial Overlay for which such small lot final subdivision map or large lot map - for High Density and Mixed Use Residential units) is recorded is subject to the assessments of the Sports Park CFD, which includes without limitation, voting to annex to said Sports Park CFD.
26 5.3 Maintenance Community Facilities District(s).
5.3.1 Formation, Consent, Waiver, and Benefit. No building permits shall be issued for the residential units or commercial development provided for in the first subdivision map for the Project until a Community Facilities District has been formed for the purpose of funding public services and maintenance costs associated with the Project for services identified in Exhibit I or the Property has been annexed into such a Community Facilities District that has already been formed to fund public services and maintenance costs for the Specific Plan Area (the “Maintenance CFD”), or OWNER participates in the formation of an equivalent funding mechanism for public services and maintenance purpose in a form satisfactory to the City Engineer. OWNER consents to and shall cooperate in such formation or annexation of the Maintenance CFD or the formation of an equivalent financing mechanism for maintenance and services purposes. OWNER also consents to the levy of such special taxes or assessments as are necessary to fund the maintenance and service obligations described herein, pursuant to and consistent with the requirements of this Agreement, Government Code Section 53111, et seq., and the City's Capital Financing and Debt Management Policy, adopted by City Council on June 20, 2017 and incorporated herein by this reference.
5.3.2 Annexation of Subsequent Phases. No building permits shall be issued for subsequent phases of the Project until the such phase is annexed into the Maintenance CFD or an equivalent funding mechanism for public services and maintenance costs has been established for such subsequent phase in accordance with Section 5.3.1.
5.3.3 Uses of Funds Collected. The Maintenance CFD will fund maintenance of certain landscaping, public improvements and public facilities as more specifically set forth in Exhibit “I”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference ("Maintenance Services”).
5.4 Maximum Effective Tax Rate. CITY and OWNER agree that the maximum effective tax rate for assessor’s parcels within the Property from all applicable financing districts, including without limitation, any financing districts established as contemplated in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, the Sports Park CFD, the Maintenance CFD and any CFD or Assessment District established pursuant to the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program, may not exceed one and 8/10 percent (1.8%) of the reasonably expected value of the parcel with planned vertical improvements determined at the time of approval of the applicable financing district and the Rate and Method of Apportionment.

Whether or not the Certificate is relied upon by assignees or other transferees or OWNER, CITY shall not be bound by a Certificate if a default existed at the time of the Periodic or Special Review, but was concealed from or otherwise not known to the Community Development Director or City Council.
7. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
7.1 Remedies in General. It is acknowledged by the parties that CITY would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable in damages under this Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement or the application thereof.
In general, each of the parties hereto may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, except that CITY shall not be liable in damages to OWNER, or to any successor in interest of OWNER, or to any other person, and OWNER covenants not to sue for damages or claim any damages:
(a) For any breach of this Agreement or for any cause of action which arises out of this Agreement; or
29 (b) For the taking, impairment or restriction of any right or interest conveyed or provided under or pursuant to this Agreement; or
(c) Arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.
7.2 Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that money damages and remedies at law generally are inadequate and specific performance and other non-monetary relief are particularly appropriate remedies for the enforcement of this Agreement and should be available to all parties for the following reasons:
(a) Money damages are unavailable against CITY as provided in Section 7.1 above.
(b) Due to the size, nature and scope of the project, it may not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, OWNER may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to utilize the Property or portions thereof. OWNER has invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate OWNER for such efforts.
7.3 Release. Except for non-damage remedies, including the remedy of specific performance and judicial review as provided for in Sections 7.2 and 6.3, respectively, OWNER, for itself, its successors and assignees, hereby releases the CITY, its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or suits of any kind or nature arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, including, but not limited to, any claim or liability, based or asserted, pursuant to Article I, Section 19 of the California Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, or any other law or ordinance which seeks to impose any other liability or damage, whatsoever, upon the CITY because it entered into this Agreement or because of the terms of this Agreement.
7.4 Termination of Agreement for Default of OWNER. Subject to the provisions contained in Subsection 6.3 herein, in addition to the remedy of specific performance as set forth in Section 7.2, CITY may terminate this Agreement for any failure of OWNER to perform any material duty or obligation of OWNER under this Agreement, or to comply in good faith with the terms of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “default”); provided, however, CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section only after providing written notice to OWNER of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by OWNER to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, OWNER has failed to take such actions and cure such default within 60 days after the effective date of such notice or, in the event that such default cannot be cured within such 60 day period but can be cured within a longer time, has failed to commence the actions necessary to cure such default within such 60 day period and to diligently proceed to complete such actions and cure such default.
30 7.5 Termination of Agreement for Default of CITY. OWNER may terminate this Agreement only in the event of a default by CITY in the performance of a material term of this Agreement and only after providing written notice to CITY of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by CITY to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, CITY has failed to take such actions and cure such default within 60 days after the effective date of such notice or, in the event that such default cannot be cured within such 60 day period but can be cured within a longer time, has failed to commence the actions necessary to cure such default within such 60 day period and to diligently proceed to complete such actions and cure such default.
8. THIRD PARTY LITIGATION.
8.1 General Plan Litigation. CITY has determined that this Agreement is consistent with its General Plan, as such called General Plan exists as of the Effective Date (“General Plan”), and that the General Plan meets all requirements of law. OWNER has reviewed the General Plan and concurs with CITY’s determination.
CITY shall have no liability in damages under this Agreement for any failure of CITY to perform under this Agreement or the inability of OWNER to develop the Property as contemplated by the Development Plan of this Agreement as the result of a judicial determination that on the Effective Date, or at any time thereafter, the General Plan, or portions thereof, are invalid or inadequate or not in compliance with law.
8.2 Third Party Litigation Concerning Agreement. OWNER shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys’ fees, indemnify, and hold harmless CITY, its agents, officers and employees from any claim, action or proceeding against CITY, its agents, officers, or employees to attack, set aside, void, or annul the approval of this Agreement or the approval of any permit granted pursuant to this Agreement. CITY shall promptly notify OWNER of any such claim, action or proceeding, and CITY shall cooperate in the defense. If CITY fails to promptly notify OWNER of any such claim, action or proceeding, or if CITY fails to cooperate in the defense, OWNER shall not thereafter be responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless CITY. CITY may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding.
8.3 Indemnity. In addition to the provisions of 8.2 above, OWNER shall indemnify and hold CITY, its officers, agents, employees and independent contractors free and harmless from any liability whatsoever, based or asserted upon any act or omission of OWNER, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors and independent contractors, for property damage, bodily injury, or death (OWNER’s employees included) or any other element of damage of any kind or nature, relating to or in any way connected with or arising from the activities contemplated hereunder, including, but not limited to, the study, design, engineering, construction, completion, failure and conveyance of the public improvements, save and except claims for damages arising through the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of CITY. OWNER shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys’ fees, CITY, its officers, agents, employees and independent contractors in any legal action based upon such alleged acts or omissions. CITY may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such legal action.
31 8.4 Environment Assurances. OWNER shall indemnify and hold CITY, its officers, agents, and employees free and harmless from any liability, based or asserted, upon any act or omission of OWNER, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and independent contractors for any violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating to industrial hygiene or to environmental conditions on, under or about the Property, including, but not limited to, soil and groundwater conditions, and OWNER shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys’ fees, CITY, its officers, agents and employees in any action based or asserted upon any such alleged act or omission. CITY may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such action.
8.5 Reservation of Rights. With respect to Sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 herein, CITY reserves the right to either (1) approve the attorney(s) which OWNER selects, hires or otherwise engages to defend CITY hereunder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (2) conduct its own defense, provided, however, that OWNER shall reimburse CITY forthwith for any and all reasonable expenses incurred for such defense, including attorneys’ fees, upon billing and accounting therefor.
8.6 Survival. The provisions of this Sections 8.1 through 8.6, inclusive, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.
The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit OWNER, in any manner, at OWNER’s sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device securing financing with respect to the Property. CITY acknowledges that the lenders providing such financing may require certain Agreement interpretations and modifications and agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with OWNER and representatives of such lenders to negotiate in good faith any such request for interpretation or modification. CITY will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requested interpretation or modification provided such interpretation or modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
Any Mortgagee of the Property shall be entitled to the following rights and privileges:
(a) Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish or impair the lien of any mortgage on the Property made in good faith and for value, unless otherwise required by law.
(b) The Mortgagee of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property, or any part thereof, which Mortgagee, has submitted a request in writing to the CITY in the manner specified herein for giving notices, shall be entitled to receive written notification from CITY of any default by OWNER in the performance of OWNER’s obligations under this Agreement.
(c) If CITY timely receives a request from a mortgagee requesting a copy of any notice of default given to OWNER under the terms of this Agreement, CITY shall provide a copy of that notice to the Mortgagee within ten (10) days of sending the notice of default to
32 OWNER. The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the default during the remaining cure period allowed such party under this Agreement. (d) Any Mortgagee who comes into possession of the Property, or any part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust, or deed in lieu of such foreclosure, shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgagee shall have an obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform any of OWNER’s obligations or other affirmative covenants of OWNER hereunder, or to guarantee such performance; provided, however, that to the extent that any covenant to be performed by OWNER is a condition precedent to the performance of a covenant by CITY , the performance thereof shall continue to be a condition precedent to CITY’s performance hereunder, and further provided that any sale, transfer or assignment by any Mortgagee in possession shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement.
10. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

INFRASTRUCTURE PHASING RULES
In order to proceed with development of their property, each owner within the Woodland Research and Technology Park Specific Plan Area is required by the Development Agreement entered into with the City to submit to City and obtain approval of an Infrastructure Phasing Plan (“Phasing Plan”) for each phase of development prior to approval of a tentative subdivision map for the property included in such phase. Owners are not required to seek approval of a Phasing Plan as described herein until they or their successor in interest to the Development Agreement apply for a tentative subdivision map for all or a portion of their property. The Phasing Plan must be consistent with these Infrastructure Phasing Rules (the “Rules”). For these Rules, all references to LDR also includes VCLDR and all references to MDR also includes VCMDR.
Each Phasing Plan shall ensure that the Improvements required for the development of the Property consistent with the Development Plan shall be completed prior to or concurrently with the development of the Property in accordance with the Phasing Plan for the Property. The Improvements included in the Plan must be supported by engineering studies that are based on sound engineering judgment and the technical studies and documents that provide support for the adoption of the Specific Plan.
The City and all property owners within the Specific Plan Area anticipate that the residential units in the LDR and MDR zones of the Specific Plan will be developed early in the overall build out of the Specific Plan Area, and generally prior to the development of high density residential and commercial development contemplated by the Specific Plan. In order to ensure that the Improvements required for the development of the Specific Plan Area are constructed in a manner that will serve that early development in a functional manner and ensure that there is not a delay in the provision of necessary infrastructure, each Plan that includes residential units in an LDR or MDR zone must construct infrastructure that is equal in value, based on the Engineer’s Estimate of Costs set forth in the CIP (as amended and adjusted for CCI) to not less than 145% or more than 150% of the RTIF (excluding the RTIF administration category) required to be paid for LDR units and not less than 125% or more than 130% of the RTIF (excluding the RTIF administration category) required to be paid for MDR units (based on the then current RTIF at the time the Phasing Plan was approved) for the residential units that are to be constructed in the LDR and/or MDR zones as part of such phase. .
The infrastructure to be counted toward the 150% or 130%, as applicable, of total value shall not include any dedications of right of way required to be made by the Owner or future developer of the Property. Such dedications, which shall be made as conditions on the applicable tentative subdivision map, shall be subject to reimbursement from future development in accordance with the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules if the right of way is included in the CIP.
Each Phasing Plan that includes residential units in a LDR and/or MDR zone shall include all Improvements required for the development of the property included in the applicable phase, plus additional backbone and off-site improvements as determined to be appropriate for
41 the applicable phase in consultation with the City Engineer. In determining the backbone and off-site improvements to be included in the Plan, Developer and City shall work to design, fund and construct the following improvements as determined by the City Engineer:
The Developer shall obtain approval from the City Engineer for improvement plans and shall provide improvement security in amounts consistent with the requirements Government Code Section 66499-66499.10 for all improvements set forth in the Plan prior to or concurrently with recordation of the first final subdivision map for the phase covered by the Plan.
The City may, at its discretion, require additional on-site Improvements as part of the phase that are not specifically included in the engineering analysis for the applicable phase, but are deemed appropriate by the City Engineer, in consultation with Owner’s Engineer for such development (e.g.,, traffic calming measures, left turn lanes for the benefit of bicycle and pedestrian safety, design requirements for roundabouts). In order to facilitate the construction of non-residential development, the first Plan including LDR or MDR units submitted to and approved by City shall include the extension of underground utilities to the Road B/County Road 25A (“CR 25A”) intersection. This Plan shall also include the construction of Road A and Road B south of CR 25A, and Road G between Road A and Road B. Alternatively, the Owner may instead propose to construct non-residential infrastructure on the north side of CR 25A, and City may, in its sole discretion, allow for this alternative to be included in the first Plan rather than the extension of roads south of CR 25A. The Plan for the first 500 residential units1 to be developed cumulatively in the MDR and LDR zones in the Specific Plan shall require the Owner to provide sufficient funding to design and construct the CR 25A/State Route 113 (“SR 113”) interchange. Each of the first five hundred units shall contribute toward the CR 25A/State Route 133 (“SR 113”) interchange according to the following formula:
Per unit contribution = project cost * 1.2 * 0.53/500 units The project cost is the amount listed in the CIP with an annual adjustment by CCI The 1.2 factor provides an extra contingency amount to make sure the project is adequately funded
0.53 is the cost share for the WRTP as reflected in the CIP The first 350 units shall make this contribution at building permit. Any units from 351- 500 shall make this contribution at final map.
The Owner may elect to perform a traffic study in order to defer the collection of project funds and the timing of construction. The City Engineer shall review the results of the traffic study and determine the timing of the collection of project funds and the timing of construction.
The Plan that includes the 600th residential unit shall include the completion of Road B between CR 25A and Parkland.
The Plan that includes the 750th residential unit shall include the mobility hub improvements if they have not been constructed previously. 1 All references to the number of residential units in these Phasing Rules refer to the cumulative number of residential units developed in the LDR and MDR zones of the Specific Plan. Residential units in other zones are not counted toward the threshold number of residential units triggering various public improvements as set forth in these Rules.
42 The Parkland Ave Overcrossing abutment fill slope, dirt placement, compaction to CalTrans standards and stabilization must be included in the Plan that includes the first storm drainage pond.
Any phase that will include the cumulative approval of more than 450 residential units must include construction of at least 1/3 of the Yard park improvements. The Plan for any phase of development of land that accesses Marston Drive must provide for the construction of a connection of Marston Avenue to CR 25A from either Road D or Road B if such a connection was not previously constructed, to ensure that any development that accesses Marston Avenue will be able to connect to the CR 25A/SR 113 interchange without traveling through the Spring Lake Specific Plan Area. The Plan for the first phase of development of land north of Parkland Avenue must provide for the construction of at least one eastbound lane and one westbound lane of Parkland Avenue between Road B and Harry Lorenzo Avenue. Greenbelts and park infrastructure that is included on the eastern and northern edges of the Specific Plan shall be included with the phase that includes any adjacent development. Further, any phase that includes residential development adjacent to a greenbelt shall include improvement of that greenbelt area within the Plan for that phase of development.
The City may, at its option, require Owner to construct the Improvements described in the approved Plan or City may construct such improvements itself. Responsibility for construction of the improvements shall be indicated in the approved Plan. In the event the City constructs some or all of the Improvements included in the Plan, Owner shall be required to pay the full cost of the Improvements (or Owner’s proportionate share of the cost, as indicated in the Plan), even if the reimbursement available through the RTIF is less than the actual cost of constructing the improvements. The City may, at its discretion, reject a Plan that includes partially constructed infrastructure. In the alternative, the City may reduce the amount of reimbursement that Owner may receive based on a determination by the City Engineer of the estimated additional costs that will be incurred by future developers to complete such infrastructure, which costs would not be incurred if the infrastructure was completed as a single project.
Such determination shall be made in accordance with the Public Infrastructure Reimbursement Rules.
Certain infrastructure improvements included in the CIP are not triggered by specific development and are not required based on a specific number of units (e.g., Gateway Monuments and enhanced landscaping). Those improvements shall be included in Plans in consultation with the City as needed to comply with the requirement to provide Improvements equal to 150% of the applicable phase’s RTIF obligation for LDR units and 130% for MDR units.
City may, at its discretion, delay the timing of infrastructure such that it falls to a future developer, then that future developer waives the right to contest the change in infrastructure requirements.
All Improvements that are included in the CIP must be funded, constructed, or the Owner shall have entered into a public improvement agreement and provided the required security for such Improvements prior to recordation of the final subdivision map that includes the final residential units to be developed in the LDR and MDR zones.
43 EXHIBIT E
WRTP CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN MODIFICATIONS
It is understood that the following CIP items will need additional work after Specific Plan approval in order to provide a more accurate project cost for the CIP and fee program. The following items shall be investigated further so that the CIP and the fee program can be updated prior to the issuance of the first building permit in the Specific Plan. The CIP shall be updated consistent with the review and update of all of these items prior to the approval of the first phasing plan. These items need to be updated prior to first tentative map and phasing plan (because of right of way and cost implications). Tentative Map submissions to create large parcel maps do not trigger this requirement if they do not allow for development of LDR, VCLDR, MDR, or VCMDR residential units. The City shall enter into the contracts required to complete the work required to complete the following items with funding provided by the Owner and other property owners within the Specific Plan Area. OWNER and CITY agree that the City’s staff time and legal expenses will be paid from the administrative portion of the RTIF. -The CIP was developed assuming that the existing cross section for CR 25A can be reused for the future alignment of this roadway. If this is not true then there could be significant additional costs added to the CIP. Applicant to perform preliminary design work to verify horizontal and vertical alignment and update the cost estimate for CR 25A. -Applicant to obtain survey information for Parkland Ave OC design to verify the amount of fill material needed for the abutment fill section. This information is also needed to set the right of way footprint for the abutment.
-The interchange footprint needs to be verified and included in the CIP update and in the dedication exhibit.
-The Miscellaneous segment of the CIP needs to be broken down in more detail by location so that the City can determine which developer to reimburse for what work. -The Greenbelts, Parks and Ponds section of the CIP needs to be broken down in more detail by location so that the City can determine which developer to reimburse for what work. -The development team will need to perform earthwork testing to determine if the pond excavation can be used as abutment fill material. Abutment backfill estimate to consider meeting Caltrans specifications. Surveying to be performed to determine quantities more accurately. If this earthwork testing is not performed, then the cost estimates shall be increased to account for off-hauling of the pond material and importing of the abutment material. -Section N-N needs to be updated to account for modifications associated with the CR 25A/SR 113 interchange plans. The north side of section N-N and O-O will be modified to construct the landscaping and sidewalk. The south side of section N-N and O-O will not have a sidewalk (unless required by Caltrans).
44 -Review whether to add a sound wall to the CIP on the north side of CR 25A from the eastern edge of the Specific Plan to Road D.
-HCP/Ag mitigation to be included in the off site projects (if it applies). -The size of roundabouts needs to be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to the update of the CIP and the dedication exhibit update.
-The City plans to change the name of County Road 25A (name is still not determined). The cost estimate will include the changes to any signs as part of the interchange project or the improvements to CR 25A.
-Subject to Caltrans approval, the City may choose to add minor landscaping improvements on the east side of SR 113 adjacent to the WRTP (planting/watering of trees and/or planting vines on the sound wall).
-The development team shall update unit costs in the CIP prior to updating the RTIF fee. The most recent cost estimate for the interchange will be included in the CIP update and the RTIF update.
45 EXHIBIT F

WOODLAND RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY PARK AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN
1. All residential development in the Woodland Research and Technology Park Specific Plan Area is subject to the Affordable and Inclusionary Housing obligations as set forth in the City of Woodland’s Affordable Housing Ordinance (Woodland Municipal Code Chapter 15.16) as modified by this Plan to ensure the inclusion of Affordable Housing within the Specific Plan Area. Provisions of this Plan that specifically apply in the Specific Plan Area and are not otherwise set forth in the Affordable Housing Ordinance are specified as being “Specific to WRTP”.
2. Specific to WRTP – A minimum of 160 units within the Specific Plan Area at build out of the Specific Plan are planned to be constructed and rented at an affordable rent or sold at an affordable housing cost to low income households. The payment of in-lieu fees is anticipated to provide supplemental funding to support the construction of these units.
Further, a minimum of 279 units in the Specific Plan Area (inclusive of 160 units for low income households) shall be constructed at or above 30du/ac consistent with the requirements of the City’s Housing Element. The requirements set forth below are intended to implement these goals.
3. Inclusionary Obligation – Consistent with the City of Woodland’s Affordable Housing Ordinance all development within the Specific Plan Area must meet the following affordable housing requirement either through the construction and sale/rental of affordable units, or one of the alternative compliance methods set forth in this policy:
a. In all For-Sale projects of at least 10 units in size, 10% of new for-sale units shall be affordable to low income households.
b. Calculations of required affordable units that result in a fraction of a For-Sale unit shall be rounded up to the nearest whole unit.
c. Ten percent (10%) of all multifamily rental units shall be affordable to low income households.
d. These requirements shall apply to all multifamily rental projects of at least 20 units. Projects with fewer than 20 units are exempt from affordable housing requirements.
e. Calculations of required affordable multifamily rental units that result in a fraction of a unit shall be rounded up to the nearest whole unit. f. Specific to WRTP – Residential units that are developed within the Village Center Mixed Use Zone are exempt from the requirements of this Policy and the Affordable Housing Ordinance.
49 4. In-Lieu Fees – Consistent with the requirements of the City of Woodland’s Affordable Housing Ordinance:
a. Owner is permitted to pay in-lieu fees to satisfy all or a part of the Owner’s affordable housing obligation as set forth in Section 3 of this Plan, except that in those instances where Owner is required pursuant to section 5.b below to make a land dedication as part of Owner’s satisfaction of this Plan and the Affordable Housing Ordinance, Owner must first make the required land dedication and may only pay in-lieu fees to the extent that there is a remaining obligation after the land dedication is complete.
b. Specific to WRTP – In-lieu fee shall be paid at the following rates (which rates shall be adjusted by the City annually by the Construction Cost Index as published from time to time by the Engineering News-Record):
i. $3.00/sf on all market rate Low Density Residential units ii. $2.50/sf on all market rate Medium Density Residential units iii. $2.00/sf on all market rate High Density Residential units c. Specific to WRTP – In-lieu fees collected within the WRTP Specific Plan Area shall first be prioritized to support the construction of the required 160 low income affordable units within the Specific Plan Area. City will explore development of a program specific to the WRTP pursuant to which developers of property may receive credits toward their in-lieu fee obligations for the amounts being spent for public infrastructure in excess of their RTIF obligations. Under the contemplated program future RTIF funds would be deposited into the City’s housing trust fund rather than being used to reimburse or provide RTIF credits to developers. Any such program, if adopted, will provide considerations to ensure that in-lieu fees are available on a time-frame as needed to develop the affordable housing units contemplated by this Affordable Housing Plan. The priority focus of the program should be to incentivize the construction of MDR units. Any program adopted should ensure that the housing trust fund does not have more RTIF credits that can reasonably be used by affordable housing developers.
5. Land Dedication - In accordance with the City of Woodland’s Affordable Housing Ordinance:
a. A developer of property located within the Medium Density Residential (MDR), Village Center Medium Density Residential (VCMDR) or High Density Residential (HDR) zone(s), may be allowed to make an irrevocable offer of dedication to the City or its designee of sufficient land to satisfy the affordability requirement.
Any land dedication site shall be consistent with the requirements for land dedication Specific to WRTP: Land within the Low Density Residential (LDR) or
