TO: DAVID C. BIGGS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
SUBJECT: EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT TO NEGOTIATE WITH R.D. OLSO N
DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY:
The City previously received several hotel developer proposals for the disposition and
development of a portion of property within the Tustin Pacific Center East and, upon
review of the terms and proposed pricing of said proposals, the City Council directed
staff to prepare an Exclusive Agreement to Negotiate with R.D. Olson Development.
RECOMMENDATION:
Subject to non-substantial modifications as may be determined necessary by the City
Attorney prior to execution, approve and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to
execute an Exclusive Agreement to Negotiate ("ENA") between the City of Tustin, and
R.D. Olson Development, and to carry out all actions necessary to negotiate a
Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA").
FISCAL IMPACT:
Selection of a prospective developer in which to enter into an Exclusive Agreement to
Negotiate has no direct immediate fiscal impact. The developer will be required to
make an initial good faith deposit with the ENA prior to entering into the exclusive
negotiation period. There may be near to long term fiscal impacts, which will be driven
by any type of development on the site, revenues from land sale proceeds, and project
generated revenues. These fiscal impacts will be evaluated as part of the negotiation
process on the DDA.
BACKGROUND:
The Agency at its August 3, 2010 Closed Session reviewed two proposals from different
hotel developers, including terms and conditions of a potential sale of property for hotel
development on property located within the Tustin Pacific Center East Specific Plan area, a
portion of the former AAE site, and also excess Cal Trans property resulting from the

Newport Extension/SR-55 Freeway Ramp Reconfiguration Project (Phase 1) located west
of Newport Avenue and north of the new SR-55 Edinger Ramp As a result of the review
of the anticipated terms and conditions of a potential sale of property, City Council directed
staff to further pursue negotiations on the subject site with R.D. Olson Development. R.D.
Olson is a high quality hotel developer with experience in all stages of the hotel
development process and over 30 years of hotel construction experience. Over the years,
it has cultivated relationships with the strongest hotel brands in the world and the debt and
equity partners required to execute hotel developments. The extensive relationships,
experience, and capabilities established by R.D. Olson places the company among the
most highly regarded regional hotel developers in California.
R.D. Olson proposes to develop two, high quality, branded, select service hotels totaling
not less than 300 rooms to serve local businesses and leisure travelers. The proposed
hotel products include a Marriott Residence Inn, and a business hotel, the Hilton Garden
Inn. The proposed development is also intended to include additional restaurant and/or
retail space and potential conference space up to 8,000 square feet. While modifications to
the Pacific Center East Specific Plan will likely be required, these amendments and the
process for any future entitlements for the project would be agreed to during the negotiation
process.
Attached is an Exclusive Agreement to Negotiate (ENA). During the negotiation period, the
business points of a Disposition and Development Agreement will be negotiated and
brought back for City Council consideration, along with any necessary environmental
documentation.
In summary under the ENA, R.D. Olson would be generally responsible for:
• Providing a good faith deposit to the City in the amount of $50,000 (to cover City
transaction expenses and be replenished up to $75,000);
• Undertaking its initial review of the suitability of the subject property for the project (the
"Review Period") fora 60 day period;
• Negotiating with the City for a period of 180 days after a Preliminary Review Period,
subject to extensions that may be mutually agreed to;
• Agreeing to acquire the vacant parcel at the appraised value;
• Employing consultants to design the site and hotel;
• Arranging project financing;
• Obtaining entitlement approval from the City, and payment of all application fees;
• Overseeing construction and the development process under the terms and conditions
of the DDA.

EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT TO NEGOTIATE
BETWEEN THE CITY OF TUSTIN AND R.D. OLSON DEVELOPMENT
THIS EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT TO NEGOTIATE ("Agreement") is entered into
this day of , 2010 (the "Effective Date") by and between the CITY
OF TUSTIN (the "City") and R.D. OLSON DEVELOPMENT (the "Developer"). The City and
the Developer (collectively referred to herein as the "Parties") hereby agree as follows:
1.0 Introduction.
1.1 The City received two proposals to develop hotel uses on a portion of vacant
property within the Pacific Center East Specific Plan and South Central Redevelopment Project
Area.
1.2 The Developer has submitted written correspondence to the City dated July 15,
2010, indicating an interest in purchasing certain property within the Pacific Center East Specific
Plan area from the City at Fair Market Value, subject to negotiated terms and conditions for
conveyance of the property. Based on Developer's correspondence, the site that is the subject of
this Agreement is shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as the "Subject
Property").
1.3 After careful consideration of the proposals received, the Tustin City Council has
directed the preparation of an Exclusive Agreement to Negotiate for the disposition and
development of a portion of the Tustin Pacific Center East site with the Developer. The City
desires to secure hotel and retail uses within the Pacific Center East Specific Plan area. Both of
these uses are suitable uses for the site given the site's adjacency to the State Route 55 (SR-55)
Freeway. A restaurant, conference space or retail use and hotel uses can have a positive fiscal
impact on the City.
1.4 The Developer has demonstrated significant experience in developing successful
hotels and associated retail projects in Southern California operated by nationally recognized
hotel operators. The Parties desire, for the period set forth herein, to negotiate diligently and in
good faith the terms and conditions of a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") with
respect to Subject Property which, if agreed and executed, will specify the rights, obligations and
method of participation of the Parties with respect to the sale and development of the subject
parcels.
2.0 Agreement to Negotiate.
2.1 The City and the Developer each desire to negotiate a DDA which, if agreed upon
and executed, shall set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Subject Property
totaling approximately 9.088 acres shall be conveyed by the City to the Developer and developed
by the Developer with two nationally recognized "flag ship" hotels with a minimum of 300 total
rooms and a minimum of 8,000 square feet of restaurant and/or retail space. Developer may also
include conference space in conjunction with any restaurant and/or retail space (hereinafter
referred to as the "Project"). Developer acknowledges and agrees that in negotiation of the
-1-
DDA, the City will need to retain a water well site on a portion of the Subject Property owned by
the City of Tustin but located within the City of Santa Ana jurisdictional boundaries parallel to
the SR-55 Freeway.
2.2 This Agreement (including all exhibits hereto) is solely an exclusive right to
negotiate and is not a final agreement. The Parties do not intend this agreement to be a purchase,
option or similar contract or to be bound in any way by this Agreement, other than to establish a
period of exclusive negotiations during which time each Party shall negotiate with the other in
good faith, the City shall not market the subject parcels to other interested parties, and the
Developer shall be bound not to withdraw any offer made by it pursuant to Section 4.2.4, except
as otherwise provided herein.
2.3 The Parties acknowledge that they have not set forth herein nor agreed upon all
essential terms of the subject matter of an agreed transaction and that such essential terms will be
the subject matter of further negotiations.
2.4 Execution of this Agreement is not intended to confer any third party beneficiary
rights in or create any liabilities on the part of either Party to any third parties.
2.5 The DDA shall not exist and shall not be binding unless and until it is fully
executed by both Parties, approved by counsel to each Party as to form, and approved by the City
Council of the City and by the managing members of the Developer.
2.6 Each Party assumes the risk that, notwithstanding this Agreement and good faith
negotiations, the Parties may not enter into any subsequent DDA due to the Parties' failure to
agree upon essential terms of the transaction:
3.0 Developer's Representations and Warranties.
3.1 The Developer represents that it has the necessary expertise, experience and
financial capability to undertake development of the Project contemplated herein.
3.2 The Developer represents and agrees that its intended acquisition of the subject
parcels and its other intended undertakings pursuant to this Agreement shall be used for the
timely development of the subject parcels and not for speculation in land holding.
3.3 The Developer represents that it is experienced in redevelopment and understands
the process and requirements necessary to pursue redevelopment projects such as the Project
described herein.
4.0 Negotiations.
4.1 Good Faith Negotiations.
The City will prepare the DDA and submit it to the Developer for review and comment.
The City and the Developer agree for the period set forth in Section 4.2 to exclusively negotiate
with one another diligently and in good faith to prepare a DDA and related documents to be
entered into between the City and the Developer with respect to the Subject Property.

4.2 Period of Negotiations.
4.2.1 The Parties agree to negotiate for a period commencing on the Effective
Date and terminating one hundred and eighty (180) days after the end of the Preliminary
Review Period (defined below) subject to extensions as further provided in this Section 4.2 (the
"Period of Negotiation"). If on that 180th day (or within any extension of time mutually
approved by the Parties in accordance with the terms of the Agreement), the Developer has not
signed and submitted a DDA in form and substance approved by the City in its sole discretion
then this Agreement shall automatically terminate. The Developer may request from the City
an extension of the initial exclusive negotiation period. The City will determine whether
reasonable and sufficient progress has been made toward fulfillment of the requirements of this
Agreement in its consideration of any extension. The initial exclusive negotiation period may
be extended by the mutual consent of the Parties for up to two (2) additional periods of sixty
(60) days each. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the term "Preliminary Review Period"
refers to the sixty (60) day period that commences on the Effective Date which period shall be
automatically extended for a corresponding number of business days for each additional
business day it takes the City to deliver the documents to Developer required by Section 4.6.
4.2.2 Notwithstanding the period of exclusivity set forth in Section 4.2.1, it is
the intent of the Parties to negotiate and prepare definitive documentation reflecting the
transaction for execution and delivery on or before October 1, 2011. Thus, unless otherwise
extended in writing by the Parties, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of
the period set forth in Section 4.2.1, except for the confidentiality provisions set forth herein.
4.2.3 The City hereby delegates to the Assistant City Manager the authority to
agree to grant the extensions specified in Section 4.2.1 upon determination by the Assistant City
Manager in its sole and absolute discretion that the Developer has negotiated diligently and in
good faith and that reasonable and sufficient progress has been made toward fulfillment of the
requirements of this Agreement. No such extension of time shall be effective unless it is in
writing.
4.2.4 The execution by Developer of a form DDA shall constitute an offer to
purchase the Subject Property. Developer hereby agrees that it shall not withdraw such offer to
purchase for a period of ninety (90) days following submittal of the executed DDA to the City.
Such offer shall remain in effect for a period of ninety (90) days to enable the City to (a)
determine whether it desires to enter into such DDA, (b) take the actions necessary to authorize
the City to sign the DDA if the City desires to do so, and (c) sign the DDA. If the City has not
considered and approved the DDA by such 60th day or, at the end of any extension mutually
agreed upon by the Parties in writing, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate.
4.3 Deposits and Costs.
4.3.1 Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Developer shall submit to
the City a good faith deposit in the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the "ENA
Deposit") in the form of a check to the City to ensure that the Developer will proceed diligently
and in good faith to negotiate and perform all of the Developer obligations under this
Agreement and to also be applied to cover any City Transaction Expenses (defined below)
-3-
incurred after the Effective Date of this Agreement by City. The ENA Deposit shall be
deposited in an account in a bank or trust company selected by the City. Interest shall accrue to
any balances in the account for the benefit of Developer and as additional security for the
Developer obligations hereunder. The ENA Deposit will be expended to cover the City's costs
during the DDA negotiation process, and the ENA Deposit will be depleted accordingly. Each
time the amount of funds in the ENA Deposit account is depleted below Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000), the Developer shall be required to submit to City an additional Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000) into the ENA Deposit account.
4.3.2 From and after the Effective Date, the ENA Deposit may be used by the
City to pay the City's third party predevelopment costs including, without limitation, third party
consultants, outside counsel, and any other expenditures required in connection with the
drafting, negotiation and execution of the DDA or termination of this Agreement, including any
and all City third party fees and costs incurred by legal counsel, financial and other consultants
("City Transaction Expenses") provided that City agrees that City Transaction Expenses to be
charged Developer shall not exceed $75,000 prior to execution of a DDA. City Transaction
Expenses do not include any fees or deposits required of Developer for processing entitlement
applications or complying with provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") or its State CEQA implementing regulations. Determination of costs, expenses, and
fees constituting City Transaction Expenses shall be made by the City in its sole discretion and
Developer shall upon request be entitled to receive summary notices from the City setting forth
amounts constituting City Transaction Expenses to be retained by City.
4.3.3 If the Parties enter into a DDA within the time period identified in
Section 4.2 of this Agreement, the City shall return any remaining unused funds in the ENA
Deposit account to the Developer or the Developer can apply it to any additional deposit
required as security for the performance under the DDA. If the Parties fail to enter into the
DDA within the time period identified in Section 4.2 of this Agreement or any extension
thereto, the City may retain any remaining unused portions of the ENA Deposit only if the
Developer has not negotiated diligently or in good faith or has not carried out its obligations
under this Agreement and the City has negotiated diligently and in good faith and has carried
out its obligations under this Agreement. The Developer's failure to submit to the City plans,
reports, studies, investigations, and materials specified in Section 5 and Section 6 of this
Agreement within the time periods specified therein, shall be deemed to demonstrate the
Developer's failure to negotiate diligently and in good faith and its failure to carry out its
obligations hereunder. If the Developer has failed to do so, inasmuch as the actual damages
which would result from a breach by the Developer of its obligations under this Agreement are
uncertain and would be impractical or extremely difficult to determine, the City shall be entitled
to retain any remaining unused portions of the original $50,000 ENA Deposit plus interest, if
any, which has accrued thereon, as liquidated and agreed damages.
4.3.4 By the initials of their respective signatories hereunder, the City and the
Developer acknowledge and agree that forfeiture of the original amount of the deposit (together
with any interest earned and accrued thereon) is not in lieu of any other relief, right or remedy to
which the City might be entitled by reason of the Developer's default.

Initials:
Developer (;ity
4.3.5 Developer acknowledges that it is currently anticipated that the DDA
shall require an additional deposit in an amount to be determined as security for the
performance of the Developer's obligations under the DDA. In addition, it is currently
anticipated that the DDA shall require the Developer to assume certain property maintenance
costs of the Subject Property to be determined in the DDA.
4.3.6 Developer acknowledges and agrees that the City shall have no
responsibility to pay or reimburse Developer for costs and expenses incurred by Developer in
connection with this Agreement or the compliance by Developer with its obligations under this
Agreement unless the City assumes any specific responsibilities in the fully executed DDA.
Costs and expenses for which the Developer shall be responsible include all pre-contractual
expenses described in the RFP and all costs and expenses incurred by Developer with respect to
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
4.4 Exclusivity. During the period of exclusive negotiation, the City covenants and
agrees to negotiate exclusively with the Developer and shall not solicit another party for the
Subject Property or enter into any agreement with any other party regarding the development of
the Subject Property, with the exception that the Developer agrees and acknowledges that it
understands that a portion of the Subject Property within the City of Santa Ana may need to also
accommodate a water well for the Tustin Water Department and such siting and accommodation
may need to involve City discussions with other water purveyors. The City acknowledges and
agrees that but for this exclusivity, the Developer would not have entered into this Agreement.
In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final decision that the City has
breached this exclusivity covenant, the City shall be deemed to have failed to negotiate in good
faith and, provided that a DDA has not been entered into pursuant to this Agreement, the
Developer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies, be entitled to the return of
the good faith deposit (together with interest accrued thereon) and any other deposits made by
the Developer.
4.5 Due Diligence.
4.5.1 As-Is Conveyance. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that if the
Subject Property is conveyed by the City pursuant to a DDA, the Subject Property shall be
conveyed on an "AS-IS, WHERE-IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS" basis, and the Developer
shall be obligated to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City with respect to its
acquisition and development of the Subject Property and the condition of the Subject Property,
including any and all land use and environmental conditions of the Subject Property.
4.5.2 Inspection; License. The City hereby grants to the Developer and its
representatives and agents a license during the term of this Agreement to enter upon the Subject
Property for purposes of conducting Developer's due diligence inspection, provided that
Developer shall: (a) deliver to the City written evidence that Developer has procured the
insurance required under Section 4.5.3; (b) give the City twenty-four (24) hours telephonic or
written notice of any intended access which involves work on the Subject Property or may

the Subject Property in a safe manner; (d) conduct no invasive testing or boring without the
written consent of the City; (e) allow no dangerous or hazardous condition created by Developer
or Developer's agents to continue beyond the completion of such access; (f) comply with all

and testing, subject to the rights of any existing owners or tenants of the Subject Property, if any
(which inspections and testing, if conducted at times other than normal business hours, shall be
conducted only after obtaining the City's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
The limited license granted herein is revocable by the City during the continuation of any
breach of this Agreement by Developer and shall be automatically revoked and terminated,
without further action of the City, upon the termination of this Agreement or any period of
exclusive negotiation hereunder.
4.5.3 Insurance. Developer shall obtain, or cause its consultants to obtain, at
Developer's cost, with no cost or expense to the City, prior to commencement of any
investigative activities on the Subject Property, a policy of commercial general liability
insurance covering any and all liability of Developer and the City arising out of any
investigative activities of Developer or its consultants with respect to the Subject Property in an
amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and provided by a carrier reasonably approved by
the City. Such policy of insurance shall be kept and maintained in force during the term of this
Agreement and so long thereafter as necessary to cover any claims of damages suffered by
persons or property resulting from the above referenced activities and any acts or omissions of
Developer, Developer's employees, agents, contractors, suppliers, consultants or other related
parties in undertaking said referenced activities.
4.5.4 Indemnity. Developer hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and
hold the City and its elected officials, employees, agents, representatives, consultants and
contractors free and harmless from and against any and all claims resulting from Developer's
access to the Subject Property or its exercise of its rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, any inspections, surveys, tests or studies performed by Developer or its employees,
consultants or contractors, save and except to the extent such claims result from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its agents, employees or representatives.
Developer shall keep the Subject Property free and clear of any mechanics' liens or
materialmen's liens related to Developer's inspection of the Subject Property. The
indemnification by Developer set forth in this Section 4.5.4 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the execution of the DDA and shall not survive the closing and transfer to
Developer of the Subject Property and shall not merge into any deed granted pursuant to the
DDA.

studies it has of the Subject Property and of immediately adjacent City infrastructure within
fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the
