ORDINANCE NO. 2016-O10
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. DA-2016-01 WITH
THE OLSON COMPANY REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIRTY
(30) TOWNHOMES LOCATED IN THE GOLD LINE DISTRICT OF THE
AZUSA TOD SPECIFIC PLAN AT 803, 805 AND 809 N. DALTON AVENUE
(APNS 8608-027-905, 906, 907 AND 908)
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2016, The Olson Company filed with the City of Azusa (“City”) an
application for Development Agreement (DA-2016-01) regarding the development of thirty (30)
townhomes in the Gold Line District of the Azusa TOD Specific Plan at 803, 805, and 809 N. Dalton
Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Azusa, recommended approval of
Development Agreement No. DA-2016-01 to City Council of City of Azusa during the dully noticed
Planning Commission meeting on October 12, 2016; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Azusa, has given notice thereof as required by
law, held a public hearing on the application of Development Agreement No. DA-2016-01 for The
Olson Company to develop thirty (30) townhomes located in the Gold Line District of the Azusa
TOD Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully considered all pertinent testimony and the staff
report offered in the case as presented at the public hearing, now wishes to approve the development
agreement with The Olson Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The project described herein is consistent with the Class 32 Categorical
Exemption in that:
(a). The project is located within the Azusa TOD Specific Plan. Specifically, the site is within the
Gold Line District of the Specific Plan. The proposed townhomes are a permitted use in the Gold
Line District. The Azusa General Plan land use designation for the site is Commercial/Residential
Mixed Use and allows up to a maximum of 27 DU/AC. The 1.44 net-acre site would allow the
development of up to 38 residential units. The zoning for the site is Gold Line District. The
proposed residential use is consistent with the uses allowed by the existing zoning. The project
proposes 30 residential units, 8 units less than allowed by the General Plan. The project is consistent
with the land use allowed for the site by the Azusa General Plan and the existing zoning.
(b). The project site is located within the Azusa city limits and is less than five acres (1.44 net-
acres). The site is surrounded by urban uses, including single-family detached and multi-family
residential to the north, the Gold Line Downtown rail station and a City parking structure to the west,
multi-family residential to the east, and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (METRO) Gold Line rail lines and a freight line to the south. Dalton Avenue is adjacent
Ordinance No. 2016-O10 for DA-2016-01 – 30 Townhomes – The Olson Company
November 7, 2016

to and east of the site and the City parking structure and busway is adjacent to and west of the site.
(c). There is very little existing on-site vegetation. The existing vegetation includes non-native
grasses on the small vacant parcel in the northeast area of the site. There is one tree on-site in the
western portion of the site adjacent to the busway. There is an oak tree on the Metro Line property
adjacent to the southern project boundary. The existing tree in the western portion of the site will be
removed to allow development of the site. The existing vegetation does not provide any value as
habitat for endangered, rare or threatened animal species.
(d). The project will not have any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, or air quality. The
project is estimated to generate approximately 174 daily trips with 13 AM peak hour trips and 16 PM
peak hour trips. The project will generate less than 500 daily vehicle trips, which is the daily
threshold by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Traffic Impact Analysis Report
Guidelines for requiring preparation of a traffic impact. The project will generate less than half the
24-hour weekday traffic that is required for the preparation of a traffic impact study. The project also
generates less than 50 peak hour trips, which is a threshold for conducting an intersection analysis.
Based on the 38 residential units that are allowed for development on the site by the General Plan,
the project will generate less traffic than estimated for the site by the TOD Specific Plan EIR. The
project traffic will not impact any area intersections or roadways that will serve the site. Site access
will be provided by an approximate 26-foot wide two-way driveway at Dalton Avenue. The
driveway design is adequate to provide suitable ingress/egress at Dalton Avenue. All on-site drive
aisles are approximately 24-feet in width and adequate to provide internal circulation throughout the
site, including access for emergency vehicles, including police and fire department emergency
equipment. Because the proposed residential use is consistent with the General Plan and zoning and
the project proposes 8 units less than allowed, the project will not have any significant noise impacts
compared to the noise identified for the site by the TOD Specific Plan EIR. As a result, the project
will not generate noise that will exceed City adopted noise level standards or significantly impact any
adjacent residents. The air emissions that will be generated by the project will be less than the
emissions estimated to be generated with the development of 38 units as allowed by the General
Plan. Because the project proposes 8 fewer units than allowed, the short- and long-term project air
emissions will not exceed any air emission thresholds established by SCAQMD. Therefore, the
project will not have any significant air quality impacts. Surface water from the site will be carried
by interior street curbs and gutters to strategically placed catch basins. Low water flows will be
discharged to two proposed on-site infiltration systems located at the common social space area and
the open space area at the southwest corner of the site to filter low surface water flows and on-site
infiltration. Larger storm water flows will be collected and discharged at the southwest corner of the
site to an off-site underground storm drain system. The existing off-site storm drain system that
currently serves the site has capacity to serve the project without any local or regional on- or off-site
flooding.
(e). The project can be served by all required utilities including power, natural gas, sewer, water and
storm drains that either exists on-site or within Dalton Avenue and the adjacent City property to the
west of the site. Public services, including police and fire protection and trash collection can serve
the project, as conditioned, without significant impacts to those public services.

November 7, 2016

CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 Exceptions, list six exceptions for the use of a categorical
exemption. As discussed below, none of the exceptions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 are
applicable to the proposed project.
(a) Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be
located -- a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a
particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply all
instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or
critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by
federal, state, or local agencies. The project is located in an urban area that is surrounded by
existing residential and commercial development. Because the project is in a highly urbanized area it
is considered an infill project. The infill exemption analysis already concludes that the project site
and the immediate area do not have any sensitive habitat or hazardous conditions and there is no
other evidence that indicates that due to its location there is any sensitive habitat or hazardous
conditions either on or adjacent to the site that would be impacted by or impact the project.
(b) Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact
of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. The City’s list of
current projects was reviewed to determine if there are any projects that along with the proposed
project would have significant cumulative impacts. There are no projects in Azusa that, along with
the project, would have cumulative impacts. The infill exemption analysis above considers all
cumulative projects in the immediate vicinity of the site and concludes that there would not be any
significant cumulative impacts, including traffic, noise, air quality, greenhouse gas, public services
and utilities
(c) Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a
reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to
unusual circumstances. The infill exemption analysis concludes that the project would not have any
significant aesthetic, biology, hydrology, soils/geotechnical, land use, traffic, air quality, noise, water
quality, utilities and public services impacts due to unusual circumstances.
(d) Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in
damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings,
or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not
apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or
certified EIR. None of the roads either adjacent to or in close proximity to the site, including Dalton
Avenue, Alameda Avenue and 9th Street, are designated a State of California scenic highway.1 The
project would not impact a scenic highway.
(e) Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site
which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. The

Ordinance No. 2016-O10 for DA-2016-01 – 30 Townhomes – The Olson Company
November 7, 2016
Page 4 of 6
infill exemption analysis concludes the project site is not a listed hazardous waste site pursuant to
Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
(f) Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. The project site is mostly
vacant, with the exception of a vacant industrial building and two existing vacant Quonset huts.
Based on a records search and other available information, the Quonset huts do not meet any listing
criteria for historical significance. Therefore, the Quonset huts are not considered a historical
resource and their removal would not have any historical resource impacts.
Based on the above analysis, the project meets and complies with the conditions in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15332 and will not have any significant environmental impacts.
SECTION 2: In accordance with the General Plan, the City Council hereby finds the
development in conformance with the following General Plan Policies:
Chapter 3 of the Azusa General Plan, titled “The Built Environment”, sets goals and policies for the
City’s Districts zones. Policy 4.3, encourages “Development of housing in both mixed-use settings
and “stand alone” structures provide each unit with ground floor individual entry, and the
architecture and site design convey the sense of individual units. The proposed development will
support this policy by utilizing entrances and courtyards facing Dalton Avenue.
Land Use Policy 4.2:
Encourage the revitalization of [City] districts including the Downtown District which is the heart of
the City to be anchored by the Gold Line light rail transit station and transit oriented development.
Land Use Policy 4.5:
Within the Downtown District . . ., provide for the development of a Gold Line transit station (to be
served by rail, bus, and private vehicles), supporting transit-oriented development.
Mobility Policy 8.5:
Encourage locating and designing new developments to encourage access by non-auto modes.
SECTION 4: That in accordance with Section 88.53.030 of the Azusa Development Code,
the City Council finds that the proposed Development Agreement complies with the Azusa
Development Code based on the following findings:
A. The approval of a development agreement shall require that the review authority first
find that the agreement and approved development are consistent with the general
plan.
In accordance with the General Plan, the development is in conformance with the following

evidence presented to the City Council, and the aforementioned findings, the City Council does
hereby approve Development Agreement No. DA-2016-01 for The Olson Company to develop thirty

or conveying the Project or any portion thereof shall conclusively be held to have been
executed, delivered and accepted subject to the covenants, reservations and restrictions
expressed in this Agreement, regardless of whether such covenants, reservations and
restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instrument.

to any Public Improvements required for the Project:
(a). Construction of Improvements. Developer hereby agrees to design,
construct, and install, in accordance with the requirements of the City, the Public
Improvements (as set forth in Exhibit “D”). Except as otherwise expressly provided in

the issuance of a grading permit for the Project, an instrument or instruments securing the
commencement, completion, and workmanship of the Public Improvements and securing
the payment of laborers and materialmen performing or to perform work on the Public

designated by the City. The principal amount of any Improvement Security shall be
determined by the City by application of California Government Code §§ 66499.3 and
66499.4. All such Improvement Security provided to the City shall be released in
accordance with the provisions of California Government Code § 66499.7.
(c). Dedication of Rights-of-Way for Public Improvements. Developer
shall dedicate such rights-of-way, easements, agreements, licenses, and other grants of
rights over the Property (“Dedications”) to the City as are reasonably required to
accomplish the survey, design, construction, inspection, testing, operation, maintenance,
and repair of the Public Improvements as the City is authorized to require under the
Existing Development Regulations. It is understood, acknowledged, and agreed by
Developer that such Dedications may include, but are not limited to, fee parcels, and
permanent or temporary rights-of-way or easements for public purposes (including street
and utility use, slope, drainage, maintenance, construction, entry and/or access, and
encroachment permits). The Dedications, if any, to be required by the City for the
Project are specified in Exhibit “E” which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference. Developer agrees that the making of such Dedications are part of the
84600.001-3258480v6
S01064\050641\
516-002 Olson DA
6
consideration provided by Developer for this Agreement, that Developer shall not seek,
nor have a right to, any compensation from the City for such Dedications, and that
Developer shall not pursue any legal action for compensation, including inverse
condemnation or eminent domain, with regard to such Dedications.
9. Assignment. Developer shall have the right to sell, mortgage,
hypothecate, assign or transfer all or any portion of this Property (as may be subsequently
subdivided), to any person or entity at any time during the term of this Development
Agreement. Any such transfer shall be deemed to include an assignment of all rights,
duties and obligations created by this Development Agreement with respect to all or any
portion of the Property. The assumption of any or all of the obligations of Developer
under this Agreement pursuant to any such transfer shall relieve Developer, without any
act or concurrence by the City, of its legal duty to perform those obligations except to the
extent that Developer is in default with respect to any and all obligations at the time of
the proposed transfer, in which case its obligations solely with respect to the matter in
default shall continue until such matter is cured. Without limitation of the foregoing,
City specifically acknowledges that upon an assignment of Developer's rights and
obligations under this Agreement to the homeowner's association that will be formed for
the Project, all obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the maintenance
obligations under § 12 below, shall be assumed by such homeowner's association and
Developer shall have no further responsibility or liability therefor, except to the extent
that Developer is in default with respect to any of those obligations at the time of such
assignment, in which case its obligations solely with respect to the matter in default shall
continue until such matter is cured.
10. General Standards and Restrictions Pertaining to Development of the
Property. The following specific restrictions shall apply to the use of the Property
pursuant to this Development Agreement:
(a). Developer shall have the right to develop the Project on the Property in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and City shall have the right
to control development of the Property in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement. City agrees to timely consider and expeditiously act upon any matter which
is reasonably required, necessary or desirable to accomplish the intent, purpose and
understanding of the parties in entering into this Agreement, including, without
limitation, processing of any ministerial permit or ministerial approval or any request for
a discretionary action or discretionary approval. City further agrees that, if Developer
satisfactorily complies with all preliminary procedures, actions, payments of applicable
Developer Fees, and criteria generally required of developers by the City for processing
applications for such discretionary actions or discretionary approvals that the City will
not unreasonably withhold or unreasonably condition any such subsequent discretionary
action or discretionary approval required in connection with any subsequent project
approval. All subsequent Project approvals shall be subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. Any subsequent Project approval implementing the Project or any
conditions, terms, restrictions and requirements of any such subsequent Project approval
implementing the Project, shall not prevent development of the Project for the uses and in
84600.001-3258480v6
S01064\050641\
516-002 Olson DA
7
accordance with the maximum density or intensity of development set forth in this
Agreement. Subject to Developer’s installation of infrastructure in accordance with the
requirements of the Project Approvals, City hereby acknowledges that it will have
sufficient capacity in its infrastructure and services to accommodate the Project. City
hereby agrees that it will provide all applicable City controlled services to the Project and
that there shall be no restriction by City on hookups or service for the Project with respect
to said items.
(b). The density and intensity of use, the uses allowed, the size of proposed
buildings, provisions for the reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, the
maximum height of proposed buildings and location of public improvements, together
with other terms and conditions of development applicable to the Property, shall be as set
forth in this Development Agreement and the attached Development Plan.
(c). City agrees to cooperate with Developer in the issuance of permits on an
expedited basis and at the earliest feasible date, including, separate and sequential
issuance of demolition, grading and building permits and, if applicable, issuance of
permits prior to recordation of tract maps for the Project; provided Developer’s
applications for such permits comply with all applicable Existing Development
Regulations.
11. Effect of Existing Development Regulations on Development of
Project. Except as expressly provided in this Development Agreement, all substantive
and procedural requirements and provisions contained in City’s ordinances, specific
plans, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Development Code and
building codes, in effect as of the Effective Date of this Development Agreement, shall
apply to the construction and development of the Property and, subject only to the terms
of this Development Agreement, Developer shall have a currently effective vested right
to develop the Property in accordance with the Existing Development Regulations.
(a). The provisions of this ¶ 11 shall not preclude the application to the
development of the Property of those changes in City ordinances, regulations, plans or
specifications which are specifically mandated and required to apply to the Project by
changes in state or federal laws or regulations as provided in California Government
Code § 65869.5 or any successor provision or provisions; provided that the party which
believes such a change or addition to the Existing Development Regulations has occurred
shall provide the other party hereto with a copy of such State or Federal law or regulation
and a statement of the nature of its conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, and the
parties shall, within ten (10) days, meet and confer in good faith and engage in a
reasonable attempt to modify this Agreement to comply with such Federal or State law or
regulation, and, in such discussions, the City and the Developer agree to preserve the
terms of this Agreement and the rights of the Developer derived from this Agreement to
the maximum feasible extent while resolving the conflict.
(b). The payment of fees associated with the construction of the Project,
including land use approvals, development fees, building permits, etc., shall be limited to
84600.001-3258480v6
S01064\050641\
516-002 Olson DA
8
those Development Fees shown on Exhibit “F” attached hereto. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Developer understands and agrees that changes in state or federal laws, as
defined in § 11.(a)., above, which require the imposition of new or increased fees shall be
paid by Developer.
(c). As provided in California Government Code § 65866, in subsequent
actions applicable to the Property, City may apply new rules, regulations, and policies to
the Property adopted after the Effective Date provided such new rules, regulations and
policies do not conflict in any way with the terms of this Development Agreement or the
rights granted herein or further condition or restrict the development of the Project as
provided for herein.
(d). Nothing herein shall prevent the application of health and safety
regulations (i.e., fire, building, seismic, plumbing, mechanical and electric codes) that
become applicable to the City as a whole when required for adoption by state law, such
as uniform codes.
(e). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Existing
Development Regulations nor any other governmental restricitions, requirements or
regulations shall prohibit the construction of the Project as shown in the Project Plans.
12. Maintenance of the Property. The Developer shall, at its sole cost and
expense: (i) maintain the appearance and safety of the Property (including all
improvements, fixtures, and landscaping) in good order, condition, and repair, and free
from the accumulation of trash, waste materials, and other debris; (ii) remove all graffiti
placed upon the Property (including all improvements, fixtures, and landscaping) within
seventy-two (72) hours of its appearance; (iii) maintain in good order, condition and
repair, properly functioning landscape irrigation systems on the Property and (iv) remove
and promptly replace all dead or diseased landscaping material on the Property. In the
event of a default of this § 12 and of a failure to commence to cure such default within
fifteen (15) days after service of a written notice by the City, or to thereafter diligently
pursue such cure to completion, then the City or its agents, employees and contractors
shall have the right to enter upon the Property without further notice and to take such
actions as are necessary to cure the default. Developer shall reimburse the City for all
costs associated with cure of the default (including but not limited to, staff services,
administrative costs, legal services, and third party costs), within fifteen (15) days after
service of a written notice by the City. If Developer fails to pay within the time provided,
such costs shall be a lien upon the Property, as provided by California Civil Code §
2881 effective upon the recordation of a notice thereof against the Property. The City
may thereafter enforce and foreclose such lien in any manner legally allowed.
13. Uses. Those uses allowed on the Property shall be as follows:
(a). Permitted Uses.
84600.001-3258480v6
S01064\050641\
516-002 Olson DA

(1). Townhouse style single family detached condominium residential
homes, including garages, with private yards, as shown in the Development Plan.
(2). common landscaping maintained by a City-approved homeowners’
association pursuant to covenants, conditions and restrictions applicable to all property
within the Project.
(b). Uses Requiring Use Permit shall be as required pursuant to the
provisions of Chapter 88 of the Azusa Municipal Code, as the same may be amended
from time to time hereafter.
14. Subdivision Map Required. Notwithstanding any other provision or
term hereof, Developer shall process a subdivision map through City’s subdivision map
approval process, comprising all of the property identified in Exhibit “A,” including, but
not limited to, any required relinquishment of vehicular access rights, and cause the final
map to be recorded in the form prescribed by law not later than December 31, 2018,
subject to extension for force majeure events; provided that, upon request of Developer
and upon good cause therefor being shown, the City Administrator of City shall have the
authority to extend the foregoing date for recordation of the final map by up to 90 days
upon an administrative basis and without further authorization from the City. In the
event said map is not recorded as required herein, this Development Agreement shall be
deemed null and void. Developer may, at Developer’s sole risk and expense, apply for
building and grading permits pursuant to City’s codes and ordinances, prior to the
recordation of said map; provided, however, that no certificate of occupancy or other
entitlement of a similar nature may be granted or obtained prior to recordation thereof.
No conditions of approval shall be imposed in connection with processing or approval of
such subdivision map beyond those set forth in Exhibit “C” attached hereto. As provided
in California Government Code §§ 66452.6 and 65863.9, the term of any tentative,
vesting tentative or parcel map hereafter approved with respect to the Project and the
term of each of the Project Approvals shall remain in effect and be valid through the
scheduled termination date of this Agreement or the date such approval would otherwise
be in effect under applicable law, whichever is later.
15. Annual Review. During the term of this Agreement, City shall annually
review the extent of good faith compliance by Developer with the terms of this
Development Agreement. Developer shall file an annual report with the City indicating
information regarding compliance with the terms of this Development Agreement no
later than March 15 of each calendar year. City’s failure to conduct any such annual
review shall not affect the validity or continuing effectiveness of this Agreement.
16. Indemnification. Developer agrees to, and shall, hold City and its elected
and appointed officials, officers, agents and employees free and harmless from all
liability for damage or claims for damage for personal injury, including death, and claims
for property damage which may arise from the direct or indirect operations of Developer
or those of Developer’s contractor, subcontractor, agent, employee or other person acting
on Developer’s behalf which relate to the construction and operation of the Project.
84600.001-3258480v6
S01064\050641\
516-002 Olson DA
10
Developer agrees to, and shall, defend City and its elected and appointed officials,
officers, agents and employees with respect to actions for damages caused or alleged to
have been caused by reason of Developer’s activities in connection with the Project. This
hold harmless provision applies to all damages and claims for damage suffered or alleged
to have been suffered by reason of the operations referred to in this Development
Agreement regardless of whether or not the City prepared, supplied or approved the
plans, specifications or other documents for the Project, but shall not apply to any claim
arising from the acitve negligence or intentional misconduct of the City or any officer or
employee acting on the City’s behalf.
17. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or canceled, in whole or
in part, only by mutual written consent of the parties and then in the manner provided for
in California Government Code §§ 65868, et seq., or their successor provisions.
18. Minor Amendments to Development Plan. Upon the written application
of Developer, minor modifications and changes to the Development Plan may be
approved by the Director of Development Services pursuant to the terms of City's
Development Code. Such modifications and changes may include but are not limited to
adjustments needed for utility purposes or as required by other governmental regulations.
19. Enforcement. In the event of a default under the provisions of this
Agreement by Developer, City shall give written notice to Developer (or its successor) by
registered or certified mail addressed to the address stated in this Agreement, and if such
violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of City within thirty (30) days
after such notice is given, or if not corrected within such reasonable time as may be
required to cure the breach or default if said breach or default cannot reasonably be cured
within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure the breach or default must be
commenced within said thirty (30) days and must thereafter be diligently prosecuted by
Developer), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under this Agreement
and, upon any such declaration of default, City may terminate this Agreement. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to Developer's indemnification and
reimbursement obligations to City, termination of this Agreement shall be the City’s sole
remedy for Developer’s default. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect existing
entitlements or permits issued prior to such termination, although all such permits shall
be and remain subject to any terms and conditions of approval contained therein or
imposed in connection therewith
20. Event of Default. Developer is in default under this Agreement upon the
happening of one or more of the following events or conditions:
(a). If a material warranty, representation or statement is made or furnished by
Developer to City with respect to this Agreement and is false or proved to have been false
in any material respect when it was made;
(b). If a finding and determination is made by City following an annual review
pursuant to ¶ 15 above, upon the basis of substantial evidence, that Developer has not
84600.001-3258480v6
S01064\050641\
516-002 Olson DA
11
complied in good faith with any material terms and conditions of this Agreement, after
notice and opportunity to cure as described in ¶ 19 hereinabove; or
(c). A breach by Developer of any of the provisions or terms of this
Agreement, after notice and opportunity to cure as provided in ¶ 19 hereinabove.
21. No Waiver of Remedies. City does not waive any claim of defect in
performance by Developer if, on periodic review, City does not enforce this Agreement.
Nonperformance by Developer shall not be excused because performance by Developer
of the obligations herein contained would be unprofitable, difficult or expensive or
because of a failure of any third party or entity, other than City; provided that the
foregoing shall not limit the Developer’s right to force majeure extensions where those
are provided for pursuant to § 30 below. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided for in this
Agreement are available to the parties to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this
Development Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach or default under this
Development Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach
thereof or default hereunder.
22. Rights of Lenders Under Agreement. This Agreement shall not prevent
or limit Developer, acting in good faith, in any manner, at its sole discretion, from
encumbering the portion of the Property owned by it, or any portion thereof or any
improvement thereon, by any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security device securing
financing with respect to such portion of the Property. The City acknowledges that the
lenders providing such financing may require certain Agreement interpretations and/or
modifications and agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with the Developer and
representatives of such lenders to negotiate in good faith any such request for
interpretation or modification. City agrees that it will not unreasonably withold consent
to any such requested interpretation or modification provided such interpretation or
modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Neither the
entering into of this Agreement nor a breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render
invalid, diminish, or impair the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Property, or
any portion thereof, made in good faith and for value. Should Developer place or cause
to be placed any encumbrance or lien on the Project, or any part thereof, the beneficiary
(“Lender”) of said encumbrance or lien shall have the right at any time during the term of
this Agreement and the existence of said encumbrance or lien to:
(a). Do any act or thing required of Developer under this Agreement, and any
such act or thing done or performed by Lender shall be as effective as if done by
Developer;
(b). Realize on the security afforded by the encumbrance or lien by exercising
foreclosure proceedings or power of sale or other remedy afforded in law or in equity or
by the security document evidencing the encumbrance or lien (hereinafter referred to as
“a trust deed”);
84600.001-3258480v6
S01064\050641\
516-002 Olson DA
12
(c). Transfer, convey or assign the title of Developer to the Project to any
purchaser at any foreclosure sale, whether the foreclosure sale be conducted pursuant to
court order or pursuant to a power of sale contained in a trust deed; and
(d). Acquire and succeed to the interest of Developer by virtue of any
foreclosure sale, whether the foreclosure sale be conducted pursuant to a court order or
pursuant to a power of sale contained in a trust deed.
23. Notice to Lender. City shall give written notice of any default or breach
under this Agreement by Developer to Lender (if known by City) and afford Lender the
opportunity after service of the notice to:
(a). Cure the breach or default within thirty (30) days after service of said
notice, where the default can be cured by the payment of money;
(b). Cure the breach or default within thirty (30) days after service of said
notice where the breach or default can be cured by something other than the payment of
money and can be cured within that time; or
(c). Cure the breach or default in such reasonable time as may be required
where something other than payment of money is required to cure the breach or default
and such cure cannot reasonably be performed within thirty (30) days after said notice,
provided that acts to cure the breach or default are commenced within a thirty (30) day
period after service of said notice of default on Lender by City and are thereafter
diligently continued by Lender.
24. Action by Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, a Lender may forestall any action by City for a breach or default under the
terms of this Agreement by Developer by commencing proceedings to foreclose its
encumbrance or lien on the Project. The proceedings so commenced may be for
foreclosure of the encumbrance by order of court or for foreclosure of the encumbrance
under a power of sale contained in the instrument creating the encumbrance or lien. The
proceedings shall not, however, forestall any such action by the City for the default or
breach by Developer unless:
(a). They are commenced within ninety (90) days after service on Developer
of the notice described hereinabove;
(b). They are, after having been commenced, diligently pursued in the manner
required by law to completion; and
(c). Lender keeps and performs all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Agreement requiring the payment or expenditure of money by Developer until the
foreclosure proceedings are complete or are discharged by redemption, satisfaction or
payment.

26. Attorneys’ Fees. In any proceedings arising from the enforcement of this
Development Agreement or because of an alleged breach or default hereunder, the
84600.001-3258480v6
S01064\050641\
516-002 Olson DA
14
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees
incurred during the proceeding as may be fixed within the discretion of the court.
27. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind, and the benefits and burdens
hereof shall inure to, the respective parties hereto and their legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, wherever the context requires or
admits.
28. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of California.
29. Partial Invalidity. If any provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the
remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
30. Force Majeure. In addition to specific provisions of this Agreement,
whenever a period of time is designated within which any party hereto is required to do
or complete any act, matter or thing, the time for the doing or completion thereof shall be
extended by a period of time equal to the number of days during which such party is
prevented from the doing or completion of such act, matter or thing because of causes
beyond the reasonable control of the party to be excused, including, without limitation,
war; acts of terrorism; insurrection; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires; casualties; acts of
God; strikes; litigation and administrative proceedings involving the Project; restrictions
imposed or mandated by other governmental entities; enactment of conflicting state or
federal laws or regulations; judicial decisions; the exercise of City's reserved powers; or
similar bases for excused performance which are not within the reasonable control of the
party to be excused (collectively, “Force Majeure Event”).
31. Estoppel Certificate. At any time during the term of this Agreement, any
lender or other party may request any party to this Agreement to confirm that (i) this
Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications
hereto, that this Agreement is in full force and effect as modified and stating the date and
nature of such modifications) and that (ii) to the best of such party's knowledge, no
defaults exist under this Agreement or if defaults do exist, to describe the nature of such
defaults and (iii) any other information reasonably requested. Each party hereby agrees
to provide a certificate to such lender or other party within ten (10) business days of
receipt of the written request therefor. The failure of any party to provide the requested
certificate within such ten (10) business day period shall constitute a confirmation that
this Agreement is in full force and effect without modification except as may be
represented by the requesting party and that, to the best of such party's knowledge, no
defaults exist under this Agreement, except as may be represented by the requesting
party.
32. Timing of Development. The parties acknowledge that Developer cannot
at this time predict when or the rate at which the Project would be developed. Such
decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not all within the control of
84600.001-3258480v6
S01064\050641\
516-002 Olson DA
15
Developer. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v.
City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Ca1.3d 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 intent of Developer and
City to hereby cure that defect by acknowledging and providing that Developer shall
have the right to develop the Property consistent with the Project Approvals and the
Conditions of Approval in such order and at such rate and at such times as Developer
deems appropriate. No City-imposed moratorium or other limitation (whether relating to
the rate, timing or sequencing of the development or construction of all or any part of the
Property, whether imposed by ordinance, initiative, resolution, policy, order or otherwise,
and whether enacted by the City Council, a board, agency, commission or department of
City, the electorate, or otherwise) affecting parcel or subdivision maps (whether tentative,
vesting tentative or final), building permits, occupancy certificates or other entitlements
to use or service (including, without limitation, water and sewer) approved, issued or
granted within City, or portions of City, shall apply to the Property to the extent such
moratorium or other limitation is in conflict with this Agreement.
33. Recordation. This Agreement shall, at the expense of Developer, be
recorded in the Official Records of the County Recorder of the County of Los Angeles
within ten (10) business days following the Effective Date. Developer shall bear the cost
of recordation hereof, if any.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed by the parties and
shall be effective on the Effective Date set forth hereinabove.
