SUBJECT: AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF TUSTIN AND OREMORE OF
TUSTIN, INC. (dba TUSTIN TOYOTA)
SUMMARY
Approval is requested to enter into an Auto Dealership Agreement ("Agreement") with
Oremor of Tustin, Inc. ("Oremor" or dba "Tustin Toyota") for rehabilitation improvements
on property located at 36 Auto Center Drive, formerly occupied by Joe's Garage within
the Tustin Auto Center, immediately to the west of an existing site operated by Tustin
Toyota at 44 Auto Center Drive. The funding source for reimbursing these
improvements will come from future excess sales tax revenues generated by Tustin
Toyota.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager and/or Assistant City Manager to execute the Auto
Dealership Agreement between the City of Tustin and Oremor of Tustin, Inc., dba Tustin
Toyota.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed agreement is a sales tax reimbursement agreement. However, Tustin
Toyota will be reimbursed for only that portion of any sales tax growth from Tustin Toyota
operations at 36 and 44 Auto Center Drive (collectively, the "Site"), above a reasonable
expected sales tax growth rate for the business at the Site and any of its affiliate parties.
The City will retain 100% of any sales tax generated at the Site up to $1,070,923 and this
sales tax level is adjusted in the Agreement upward by 2.5% per year ("Threshold Level").
The $1,070,923 is selected as the threshold amount because it is equal to the dealership's
sales tax levels averaged over the last three years and reflects the recent recession. Staff
felt that using earlier years, which were not affected by the most recent economic
conditions, would be an inappropriate stable basis for determining a Threshold Level for
providing assistance to Tustin Toyota.
The Agreement proposes that Tustin Toyota be reimbursed 80% of any actual excess
sales tax generated on the Site greater than the Threshold Level in years 1 through 3, with
the City retaining twenty percent (20%) of the excess sales tax. In years 4 through 10,
Agreement between Tustin Toyota and City
July 5, 2011
Page 2
Tustin Toyota will be reimbursed fifty percent (50%) of any actual excess sales tax
generated on the Site greater than the Threshold Level with the City retaining fifty percent
(50%).
Tax generated from the sale of vehicles is a major revenue source for the City's General
Fund which has been impacted by the lower than normal auto sales during the recent
recession. Staff has determined that the assistance level is reasonable. No other source
of funds is proposed to be used to reimburse Tustin Toyota. While the City could forego
some sales tax revenue growth in the early years, if Tustin Toyota grew at a much faster
rate than anticipated or has been normal in non-recession years, the portion of the sales
tax that the City will retain as revenue is revenue that it would otherwise not have received.
As a result, the proposed assistance program to Tustin Toyota is not a windfall or bail-out
of this automobile dealership, but rather encourages the dealer to outperform its sales
projections thereby increasing the level of City sales tax received ultimately from the
business and any of its affiliates.
BACKGROUND
Oremor is the owner of Tustin Toyota located within the Tustin Auto Center at 44 and 36
Auto Center Drive. Tustin Toyota has been a significant contributor to the City's tax
base and employment base, employing over 152 people. Tustin Toyota is requesting
assistance from the City as a result of a major construction project at 36 Auto Center
Drive (formerly Joe's Garage and Museum). In an effort to compete in the marketplace,
and in order to meet Toyota Motor Corporation factory requirements and keep a
presence in Tustin, Oremor recently purchased Joe's Garage and Museum located 36
Auto Center Drive ("Purchased Property") immediately adjacent to its existing site at 44
Auto Center Drive. The Purchased Property was less than ideal as its chief function
was a museum and catering hall. The Purchase Property will necessarily require major
renovations to become useful for Tustin Toyota's expansion for auto dealership
functions and to meet its new factory requirements. Additional challenges have also
been presented in navigating the many easements associated with the Purchased
Property.
While the acquisition price of the Purchase Property was $9,800,000, Tustin Toyota did
not seek assistance for the acquisition as others have requested in the past. Tustin
Toyota anticipates that the total cost associated with converting the Purchased Property
to support expanded Tustin Toyota operations, including a new automobile showroom
and service drive, will be approximately $8,000,000. Tustin Toyota is requesting City
assistance in reimbursing a portion of certain hard construction costs associated with
Agreement between Tustin Toyota and City
July 5, 2011
Page 3
the renovation. The total anticipated hard costs are $5,598,325. Tustin Toyota is
seeking the potential to be reimbursed from future sale tax growth on its two sites as a
result of certain improvements up to a maximum amount of $2,800,000.
The Site (including the existing site and Purchased Property, collectively the "Site"), is
owned by Diego Tustin, LLC ("Diego Tustin") and leased to Oremor pursuant to a
separate Lease at 44 Auto Center Drive and a Lease Agreement for 36 Auto Center
Drive (the "Leases"). Provisions of the Agreement will require the Leases to be
extended and operational for the term of the Agreement and, as a condition to any
commencement of assistance payments to Tustin Toyota, Diego Tustin will be required
to consent to the improvements being made by Tustin Toyota and the proposed terms
and conditions under which the auto dealership agreement between Tustin Toyota and
the City is structured. The property at 36 Auto Center Drive has been unoccupied since
being vacated by Joe McPherson as a result of his death. The Site occupies a high
visibility location in the westerly portion of the Tustin Auto Center. Any further
deterioration of the buildings, facilities, and improvements (collectively the "Existing
Improvements") on the Site will have a negative impact on the Tustin Auto Center.
Tustin Toyota has already made a significant investment in acquisition of the Purchased
Property and rehabilitating the existing improvements will significantly update and
reconfigure its facilities for the occupancy of Tustin Toyota. Ensuring occupancy of the
Site and rehabilitation of the existing improvements, as contemplated by this
Agreement, will have a positive economic and physical impact on the Tustin Auto
Center. Tustin Toyota is not seeking additional reimbursement of any new property
taxes generated as a result of its acquisition of the Purchased Property, its construction
project on the Site, or any necessary purchases of personal property that will also
positively affect the City's property tax base (i.e., service lifts, shop equipment, car
wash, etc.). Upon completion of construction of the proposed improvements, 18-23 new
jobs are expected to be generated on the Site.
The proposed agreement is a sales taxes reimbursement agreement. Major terms of the
Agreement are as follows:
Tustin Tovota
• Will be responsible for funding, designing, and constructing all improvements.
• Will continue to operate the dealership on the Site for a minimum term of ten (10) years
with extensions of Leases necessary to ensure this term and, as a condition of any
Agreement between Tustin Toyota and City
July 5, 2011
Page 4
sales tax reimbursements by the City, shall designate the Site as a point of sale for all
transactions, and shall use its best efforts to designate Site as the situs for all leasing
transactions. The Agreement also requires both Tustin Toyota and the property owner
to enter into and record a covenant regarding the intended use of the Site for the Tustin
Toyota dealership for the term of the Agreement.
• Will provide the City with copies of all reports filed with the State Board of Equalization.
City of Tustin
• The City will retain 100% of sales tax up to $1,070,923, to be adjusted upward by 2.5%
per year (the "Threshold Level"). Tustin Toyota will be reimbursed up to an amount not
to exceed $2,800,000 for certain identified improvements to 36 Auto Center Drive from
any excess sales tax generated on the Site. Excess sales tax is the difference
between the total sales tax actually received by the City for the Site annually and the
Threshold Level for that year. There is no City guarantee to provide the maximum
reimbursement if required Threshold Levels are not reached or sales tax growth occurs
inadequate to make the maximum assistance over the ten year term of the proposed
Agreement.
• Tustin Toyota will be reimbursed from 80% of the excess sales tax greater than the
Threshold Level in Years 1 through 3 with the City retaining 20% of the excess sales
tax, and 50% in Years 4 through 10, with the City retaining 50% of the excess sales
tax.
The proposed Agreement will terminate the earlier of: 1) when the aggregate annual
reimbursement equaling $2,800,000 has been reached, or; 2) upon the Annual
Assistance Payment Termination Date as defined in Section 4.9 of the Agreement,
or 3) upon termination of the Leases; 4) or ten years after the issuance of a Certificate
of Occupancy of finalization of building permits for the improvements being proposed.
Tustin Toyota will not receive an annual reimbursement from the City for any year in
which excess sales tax is not generated. Tax generated from the sale of vehicles is a
major revenue source for the City's General Fund which has been impacted by lower
sales during this recession. No other source of funds is proposed to be used to
reimburse Tustin Toyota. Based on current Tustin Toyota sales projections, it is not
likely that the maximum $2,800,000 assistance requested by Tustin Toyota could be
reached. However, with an annual growth rate of 4%, the projected level of assistance
could reach a total of $741,867. If sales tax generated by Tustin Toyota grows at a
Agreement between Tustin Toyota and City
July 5, 2011
Page 5
rate of approximately 8.5%, the maximum assistance would be achieved in Year 10.
For comparison purposes, Tustin Toyota sales tax growth rates between 2003 and
2006 were substantially higher than 8.5%. Upon completion of the City's maximum
reimbursement assistance or the end of the term of the Agreement, the City would
again retain 100% of any sales tax generated on the Site.
Environmental Review
The proposed Agreement is not a project defined by CEQA. According to the Department
of Community Development, improvement plans being processed through the Department
of Community Development would be exempt from CEQA as a ministerial project under
Section 15268.

4. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO TUSTIN TOYOTA

In consideration of and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
City shall provide Tustin Toyota with the ability to obtain a maximum level of
assistance in an aggregate total sum of Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
($2,800,000) for Rehabilitation Work identified in Attachment 2 with the method of
payment as outlined in Section 4.3 of this Agreement.
4.2 Term of Assistance.
The City's assistance to Tustin Toyota will be limited to first of these events
occurring, 1) the maximum level of assistance allowed pursuant to Section 4.1 of this
Agreement has been reached, or; 2) upon the Annual Assistance Payment Termination
Date as defined in Section 4.9 of the Agreement, or 3) upon termination of the Leases
(the "Term of Assistance").
4.3 Basis for DetermininE Annual Assistance Payment.
The annual amount of assistance to Tustin Toyota will be based on sales and use
tax ("Sales and Use Tax") generated by Tustin Toyota or an "Affiliated Party" on the
Site in excess of the Threshold Level as defined in Section 4.4 of this Agreement (the
"Annual Assistance Payment"). Only sales tax allocated to the City of Tustin as the
7
point of sale by Tustin Toyota for Tustin Toyota or an Affiliated Party will be utilized
to determine eligibility and the amount of any Annual Assistance Payment to Tustin
Toyota. Tustin Toyota shall receive annual assistance in the amount of Eighty Percent
(80%) of the sales and use tax the City receives from the Use on the Site in excess of
the annual Threshold Levels specified in Section 4.4 of this Agreement during Years 1
through 3 and Fifty Percent (50%) of the sales and use tax the City receives from the
Use on the Site subsequently. Tustin Toyota shall not receive any assistance in any year
in which the sales tax attributable to the Tustin Toyota's business operation on the Site
is less than the Threshold Level for such year.
4.4 Threshold Level.
The annual Threshold Levels are as specified in this Section. The Threshold
Level is based on an assumed baseline Threshold Level of sales tax from taxable sales
equal to which shall adjust annually as follows:
Calendar Years
Baseline -Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Year 4
Year 5
Year 6

$1,272,991
$1,304,815
$1,337,436
4.5 Definition of Excess Sales and Use Tax and Annual Percentage Assistance
Payment Percentage.
Excess Sales and Use Tax, determined annually, is the difference between the
total sales and taxes actually received by the City of Tustin for Tustin Toyota annually
pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Agreement and the Threshold Levels by year identified
in Section 4.4 of this Agreement (the "Excess Sales and Use Tax").
8
The annual assistance payment percentage used to determine the City's Annual
Assistance Payment to Tustin Toyota shall be equal to Eighty Percent (80%) in Years 1
through 3 and Fifty (50%) in Year 4 through 10 of the annual Excess Sales and Use Tax
("Annual Assistance Percentage").
4.6 Application of Annual Assistance Payment.
Provided that the total maximum of any Annual Assistance Payment shall not
exceed the maximum level of assistance as defined in Section 4.1, the Annual
Assistance Payment in any year shall be equal to the Annual Assistance Percentage
multiplied by the Excess Sales and Use Tax received from the City in that year, as
defined in Section 4.5. In no event shall Tustin Toyota receive Annual Assistance
Payment with an accumulated value greater than the maximum level of assistance
specified in Section 4.1 or for a term longer than specified in Section 4.2.
4.7 Computation of Annual Assistance Payment.
For any yeax that the Tustin Toyota is entitled to receive an Annual Assistance
Payment, the payment shall be the lesser of:
1. The Annual Assistance Percentage multiplied by the Excess Sales and
Use Tax for that year, or
2. An amount which, when added to the Annual Assistance Payment from
all prior years, does not exceed the Maximum Level of Assistance. In any year, this
amount is equal to that portion of the Maximum Level of Assistance not yet received
during all previous years.
Attachment 5 presents two illustrative examples of the calculation methodology
for determining the Annual Assistance Payments. Example No. 1 is based on the
projection of Tustin Toyota sales and uses taxes provided by Tustin Toyota with an
average annual growth factor of 4.00%. Example No. 2 optimizes the average annual
growth rate factor for sales and use tax at 8.56% which is necessary for Tustin Toyota
to achieve the Maximum Level of Assistance. The actual sales and use tax Annual
Assistance Payments may differ from the projections used in these two examples.
4.8 Basis for Measuring Sales Tag Receipts by City.
Annual Assistance Payments to the Tustin Toyota shall be based on quarterly
sales tax returns filed with the California SBE for all Tustin Toyota business operations
on the Site and required pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code, Section
6452 (Subject to audit by the SBE), and the actual amount of sales tax actually allocated
and paid to the City. A copy of the quarterly sales tax return ("Sales Tax Statement")
shall be supplied by Tustin Toyota to the City at the same time as Tustin Toyota
9
delivers the original Sales Tax Statement to the SBE. The Sales Tax Statement, subject
to audit by the City, or the SBE, and any resulting corrections will be utilized each year
by the City for purposes of determining the level of assistance.
4.9 Schedule of Annual Assistance Payments.
Annual Assistance Payments shall be made to Tustin Toyota, where Tustin
Toyota is eligible and all Conditions Precedent to Annual Assistance Payments as
prescribed by Section 4.12 have been met. The first Annual Assistance Payment will be
measured from the first four calendar quarters next following the issuance of the
Certificate of Completion, and will be paid within sixty (60) days after the close of such
four quarters (the "Year"), or within any extended period of time as determined by the
City necessary for the City to confirm with the State Board of Equalization the amount
of sales tax actually allocated and paid to the City. For example, if the Certificate of
Completion is issued on February 10, 2012, the first four quarters next following the
Certificate of Completion shall be: April 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012; July 1, 2012 to
September 30, 2012; October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012; and January 1, 2013 to
March 31, 2012. In the above example, the first Annual Assistance Payment will be due
and payable on May 30, 2013, or within any extended period of time as determined by
the City necessary for the City to confirm with the State Board of Equalization the
amount of sales tax actually allocated and paid to the City. The Annual Assistance
Payments for each succeeding Year shall be paid to Tustin Toyota within sixty (60)
days after the close of each such succeeding Year, or within any extended period of
time as determined by the City necessary for the City to confirm with the State Board of
Equalization the amount of sales tax actually allocated and paid to the City. City shall
exercise its best efforts to verify the amount of Sales Tax attributable to the Tustin
Toyota business operation and City's receipt of payment from the State.
Annual payments, where eligible, shall continue until expiration of the Term of
Assistance contained in Section 4.2 of the Agreement or until Tustin Toyota receives
the maximum assistance pursuant to Section 4.1, or upon Termination of the this
Agreement, whichever occurs earliest. Whether or not Tustin Toyota receives the
maximum level of assistance pursuant to Section 4.1, payments shall terminate pursuant

(10~') Year, as applicable. The City shall not have an obligation to provide any level of
assistance in any year that the Sales Tax received by the City does not exceed the
Threshold Level, and all conditions precedent to Annual Assistance Payments are met
pursuant to Section 4.12. Neither the term of this Assistance as defined in Section 4.2,
nor the Term of this Agreement as defined in Section 6.9, shall not be extended because
of failure of Tustin Toyota to exceed the Threshold Level in one or more years.
10
4.10 Effect of Changes in State Law.
In the event that California Law governing the payment and/or distribution of
retail sales tax is amended in such a manner as to reduce the amount of sales tax
apportioned and paid to the City based on point of sale ("Sales Tax Change"), Tustin
Toyota shall be entitled to assistance payments only if sales tax revenues apportioned
and paid to the City based on the point of sales for Tustin Toyota in a payment year
meet the applicable Threshold Level in Section 4.4, above, for the appropriate year in
which payment is due.
To the extent that a Sales Tax Change reduces the revenue received by the City
to below the Threshold Level or causes a reduction in payments to Tustin Toyota, all
assistance payments which have not become due and payable to Tustin Toyota pursuant
to the payment formula outlined herein shall no longer be an obligation of the City.
4.11 Source of Annual Assistance Pavments.
The City reserves the right to make annual payments on behalf of the City from
whatever sources it deems appropriate. The reference to sales tax for purposes of
computing annual payments is solely for computational purposes. Sales Tax revenue
allocated to the City is not pledged.
4.12 Conditions Precedent to Annual Assistance Pavments.
City's obligation to make Financial Assistance Payments pursuant to Sections
4.1 and 4.7 of this Agreement shall be contingent and conditional upon Tustin Toyota's

conditions ("Conditions"):
1. A Certificate of Occupancy and/or Final Certificate of Completion for
the Rehabilitation Work shall have been issued by the City.
