PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF TUSTIN AND
THE IRVIRE COMPANY RELATING TO DEVELOPI4ENT OF THE EAST TUSTIN
~PF_CIFTC PLAN Pl~N.IF~.T AREA.
RECOFN4ENDATION:
After holding a public hearing, it is recommended that the City Council adopt
Ordinance No. 978 adopting a Development Agreement between the City of Tustin
and The Irvine Company for the East Tustin Specific Plan area.
BACKGROUND:
Upon approval of the East Tustin Specific Plan, the City Council made a
requirement that prior to start of development that a Development Agreement be
in place ensuring timely phasing of development projects and supporting
infrastructure. The Development Agreement is an extension of the comprehensive
planning process of the Specific Plan. As an implementing tool of the Specific
Plan, the Development Agreement provides additional focus to and specific
commitments to infrastructure requirements and implementation timing alluded to
in the Specific Plan. Staff and the City Council have determined that a
Development Agreement is the appropriate planning procedure necessary to meet
the objectives of the East Tustin planning process.
According to State Law and City Ordinance, the Planning Commission held a
publicly noticed public hearing on the proposed Development Agreement on October
13, 1986. Two comments were expressed at the public hearing by two citizens.
Community Development staff will be meeting with one individual to get his input
into open space, recreational and baseball opportunities within the planning
area. The other comment was from a representative of the Foothills Community
Association giving support for the Development Agreement.
The Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the Development
Agreement and adoption of the Supplemental EIR to the City Council.
ANALYSIS:
A Development Agreement is an agreement between a city and developer whereby the
city is ensured that the developer will proceed with development in an agreed
upon manner and whereby the developer is ensured that the city will comply with
initial project entitlements. The Development Agreement for the East Tustin
Specific Plan specifies the permitted uses of the property, the density or
intensity of those uses, the timing and nature of the infrastructure (e.g.
roads, flood control, utilities, traffic mitigation), for each phase of
development, and the financing methods that are available to fund the
infrastructure. The Development Agreement is enforceable by either party
according to State law.

page t~o
The term of the Development Agreement is for a period of fifteen years, with a
five year extension allowable if agreed to by both parties. The Development
Agreement includes a phasing schedule, Exhibit "D", tying the Irvine Company to
providing circulation, drainage and flood control facilities consistent with the
City's General Plan land use and facilities plans. This infrastructure would be
constructed concurrent with or prior to development within each sector of the
plan area. Park dedications, park improvements, golf course construction and
certain development standards relating to hillside grading, residential
development and mixed use development are also covered. In addition, a
development phasing scheme is agreed to specifying the type of land use allowed
in each phase to balance revenue generating uses to create an .overall surplus of
revenues. The fiscal phasing plan will balance retail, residential, hotel and
mixed uses to provide the City with an adequate level of revenue to support City
services to the area. Other provisions of the Development Agreement are that
fire protection facilities and other public facilities needed to support the
area will be provided. Formation of' assessment and special tax districts is
acknowledged as a valid mechanism to finance major public improvements. Section
2.9 on page 33 of the Development Agreement discusses these financing
mechanisms.
The Development Agreement is consistent with and meets the intent of the
Specific Plan and the City Council's desire to have a phasing and implementation
agreement. As an implemmenting tool of the Specific Plan, the Development
Agreement covers all of the major public lmmprovements required as part of the
Sp&ciftc Plan and Environmental Impact Report. The Supplemental EIR done for
the Development Agreement covers impacts associated with the phasing and
immplementation of these improvements. A separate report covers the SEIR and is
attached.
RECOI~ENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council find that the Development Agreement is
consistent with -the City's General Plan and the East Tustin Specific Plan and
adopt Ordinance No. 978.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT' is' entered into this day of
· 1986, by and between The Irvine Company, a
Michigan corporation ("Developer"), and the City of Tustin, a
California municipal corporation ("City"), hereinafter sometimes
referred to individually as "Party" and collectively as
"Parties."
RECITALS
A. This Agreement concerns all of that real property
described in Exhibit "A" hereto and delineated on Exhibit "B"
hereto, which description and delineation are incorporated herein
by this reference (the "Property"). Developer is the fee owner
of the Property, and desires to develop the Property consistent
with the provisions of the East Tustin Specific Plan adopted by
City on March 17, 1986 (the "Specific.Plan"), which Specific Plan
is attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and incorporated herein by this
reference.
B. The Property is one of the last large undeveloped areas
of the City. Due to its size and location, planned development
of the Property consistent with the Specific Plan and the City's
fiscal goals is of vital concern to City and to City's goal of
being a balanced community, as reflected in its General Plan. It
is intended that development of the Property in accordance with
the Specific Plan and this Agreement provide the City with ade-
quate controls over the fiscal and land use impacts of develop-
ment of the Property to avoid the fiscal and planning problems
associated with piecemeal.development.
C. Some of the public improvements and dedications to be
provided as a part of the Specific Plan, while necessary to serve
the private development of the Property, are also needed to serve
the ultimate development and completion of the City according to
its General Plan, and of adjoining areas. Given the regional
significance of some of these public improvements, the City
desires to obtain and the Developer is willing to assist in
providing these public improvements as a part of the Specific
Plan in early phases of the development of the Property, through
the formation of Assessment Districts and other financing
vehicles acceptable to Developer and City, prior to the time they
would otherwise be required to serve the private development
portions of the Specific Plan, and therefore prior to the time
when the Developer would otherwise be legally entitled to com-
plete the private development portions of the Specific Plan that
alone justify the expense of such public improvements. The
Developer is also willing to assist in providing public improve-
ments whose capacities exceed the needs created solely by the
development of the Property. The Developer is willing to assist
in providing these public improvements earlier than otherwise
required for its private development.of the Property, and to
ultimate sizes, only upon the assurance of the City that the
Developer will be able to complete its private development at
least at the total density and intensity of use set forth in the
Specific Plan. In this respect, the public improvements and
dedications called for as part of the Specific Plan, together
with the private development portions at the ultimate density and
intensity of use-set forth in the Specific Plan, are dependent on
one another, and together comprise an indivisible project (the
"Project").
D. In accordance with the legislative findings set forth
in Government Code Section 65864, City wishes to attain certain
public objectives that will be furthered by this Agreement. This
Agreement will provide for the orderly implementation of the
General Plan of the City of Tustin, and the phased development
and completion of the Project in accordance with the Specific
Plan. This Agreement will further a comprehensive planning
objective contained within the City's General Plan, which is:
"To promote an economically balanced community with
complimentary and buffered land uses to include industrial,
commercial, professional, multi-family and single-
family development."
E. The Specific Plan and the development under the Speci-
fic Plan require a substantial early investment of money and
planning and design effort by Developer. Without the protection
provided by this Agreement, uncertainty that the Project may be
completed in its entirety could result in a waste of public
resources, escalate the cost of public improvements, and dis-
courage Developer participation in the comprehensive traffic,
drainage, and other public improvements in the.Specific Plan.
The Developer's participation in the implementation of the Speci-
fic Plan through this Agreement and, among other things, through
participation in assessment districts to finance the public
improvements required by the Specific Plan, will result in a
number of public benefits. These benefits include, among others:
1. Securing phased completion of the public.
improvements and accomplishment of the dedication
portions of the Specific Plan;
2. Assuring adequate funding and dedication for the
public improvements required by the Specific Plan;
3. Clarifying the respective responsibilities of the
City and the Developer for implementation of those
public improvements and dedications, which clari-
fication is needed to provide a basis for the
City's fiscal planning; and
4. Providing a program for monitoring and controlling
the impacts of the Project on the City's fiscal
resources, so that the phased development of the
Property and the completion of the Project will
not result in a negative fiscal impact to the
City.
These public benefits require the cooperation and participation
of City and Developer and could not be secured without mutual
cooperation in and commitment to the comprehensive planning
effort that has resulted in the Specific Plan.
F. Developer wishes to avoid certain development risks and
uncertainties that would, in the absence of this Agreement, deter
and discourage Developer from making a long-term commitment to
implement the Specific Plan. These are as follows:
1. It is generally, the law in California that, absent
extraordinary circumstances or the approval of a
vesting subdivision map, an owner of land does not
obtain a vested right to improve land until the
issuance of a building permit for the improvements
and commencement of substantial construction pur-
suant to that permit. The result is a disincen-
tive for landowners to invest monies in the early
completion of major infrastructure and other pub-
lic improvements as part of any project or in early
comprehensive plannin~ and design studies.
2. Development under the Specific Plan requires a
substantial early investment of money and planning
and design effort by Developer. Uncertainty about
the City's land use policies, rules and
regulations could result in a waste of private
resources, escalate the cost of required public
improvements, and escalate costs of proposed
housing and other uses.
G. The following assurances are of vital concern to
Developer to offset or remove the disincentives and uncertainties
set forth in Paragraph F above:
1. Assurance to the Developer that, in return for the
Developer's commitment to the comprehensive
planning for the Property that is the Specific
Plan, the City will in turn remain committed to
the Specific Plan;
2. Assurances to the Developer that as the Developer
becomes obligated for the costs of designing and
constructing the public 'improvements included in
the Specific Plan, and makes dedications, the
Developer will become entitled to complete the
private development portions of the Specific Plan
that 3ustify those obligations; and
3. Assurances to the Developer that in the City's
administration of the Specific Plan, the Developer
will be allowed the flexibility, consistent with
the Specific Plan, required for it to respond to
the marketplace in terms of housing types and
intensities, the development of mixed uses, and
reconfiguration of land uses, so long as in so
doing the overall intensity and density of devel-
opment, and the range of uses within sectors iden-
tified in the Specific Plan are not exceeded.
These assurances require the cooperation and participation of
City and Developer and could not be secured without mutual
cooperation in and commitment to the comprehensive planning
effort that has resulted in the Specific Plan.
H. California Government Code Sections 65864 et seq.
authorize local agencies to enter into binding development
agreements with persons having legal or equitable interests in
real property for the development of such property. City wishes
to enter into a development agreement with Developer to secure
the public benefits described in Paragraph E above, and Developer
wishes to enter into a development agreement with City to avoid
the development risks and uncertainties and to obtain the assur-
ances described in Paragraphs F and G above.
I. Pursuant to the authorization set forth in California
Government Code Sections 65864 et seq., City adopted Ordinance
No. 923, Section 1, establishing procedures and requirements for
consideration and execution of Development Agreements by City.
In accordance with such procedures and requirements, as set forth
in Tustin City Code Sections 9600'-9617, City has undertaken the
necessary proceedings, has found and determined that this Agree-
ment is consistent with City's General Plan and the Specific
Plan, and has adopted Ordinance No. __approving this Agree-
ment, which Ordinance became effective on , 1986.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and
of the mutual covenants hereafter contained, and for the purposes
stated above, City and Developer hereby agree as follows:
I
DEVELOPER'S COMMITMENTS AND ASSURANCES TO CITY
1.1 ~provement Phasiqt. The circulation system
improvements shown on the "Circulation Plan" of the Specific
Plan, and the drainage and flood control facilities shown on the
"Drainage and Flood Control Plan" of the Specific Plan
(hereinafter collectively known as the "major public
improvements") shall be provided in accordance with the phasing
schedule attached as Exhibit "D" hereto, to the design and
capacity standards specified in the Specific Plan. Developer
agrees that completion of the major public improvements will be
accomplished to the satisfaction of the City in accordance with
adopted City standards, and will be financed by assessment dis-
trict(s), other public financing (without cost to City or to
property, businesses or homeowners within the present corporate
limits of City not included within Tract NO. 12345, Parcel Map
No. 84-1032, or the Property), or by Developer. Construction of
all other arterial highways within the Specific Plan area shall
precede or be constructed concurrently with all residential con-
struction within 1,000 feet of the subject roads.
1.2 Dedication~. Ail public improvements completed by
Developer under the "Agreement for Payment of Costs for Infra-
structure Improvements, East Tustin Assessment District 85-1",
between City and Developer dated April 30, 1986, as amended
and/or supplemented and/or replaced by other such agreements,
shall be dedicated and accepted by City in accordance with the
provisions of that Agreement. Ail other public improvements
constructed by Developer that are ultimately to be owned and
maintained by the City or by some other public agency or entity
shall be dedicated to the City, or such other public agency or
entity upon completion and acceptance by City or other public
agency.

1.3
Park Dedications and Improvements.
A. AS provided in the Agreement in Satisfaction of
Parkland Dedication Conditions: for Tentative
Tract No. 12345, dated as of May 25, 1986, ("Park-
land Agreement") between Developer and City,
Developer shall be required to dedicate land for
community park purposes in Sector 11 of the Speci-
fic Plan area. Developer's excess parkland dedi-
cations for neighborhood park purposes, if any, as
determined in accordance with the Parkland Agree-
ment, will be credited to subsequent builder ten-
tative tract maps within the Specific Plan Area,
as a partial park dedication credit. The numbers
of acres allowed as a credit shall be determined
in accordance with City Ordinances in effect on
the effective date of this Agreement.
B. Developer agrees that dedications and improvements
for park purposes within the Specific Plan area
shall be as prescribed in the Specific Plan and
ordinances applicable thereto in effect on the
effective date of this Agreement.
C. Developer acknowledges that if the County of
Orange ("County") decides to create the proposed
Peters Canyon Regional Park (the "Park"), its
acreage, location, design, access and facilities
are of importance to City. Developer therefore
agrees that it shall not dedicate land within
the City for the Park to the County until Developer
has reached an agreement with the County accept-
able to the City regarding City involvement in
the park planning, access and development.
1.4 Mixed Use and Commercial Acres. The fiscal integrity
of the development of East Tustin is a crucial issue to City. Of
paramount importance is the City's desire to maintain a level of
service to East Tustin consistent with that provided to the
balance of the City. To assist in achieving this goal, Developer
agrees that in Sector 12 of the Specific Plan Area des±gnated as
"Mixed Use", a minimum of 70 gross acres shall be developed for
retail/commercial uses. In addition, a hotel shall be con-
structed with a minimum of 250 rooms and with customary support-
ing facilities, and, if proposed by Developer to be built in more
than one phase, such phasing shall be as approved by City.
1.5 Schools. In accordance with the School Facilities
Agreement between the Developer and the Tustin Unified School
District dated January 27, 1986, and amended as of March 12,
1986, attached hereto as Exhibit "E" (the "School Agreement"),
the Developer shall make provision f6r up to eight school sites
in the Pro3ect, as provided in the Specific Plan, and shall
comply with the provisions of the School Agreement. Prior to the
time that tentative residential subdivision maps are approved for
Sectors 2, 3, 7, 8, 10 or 11 of the Specific Plan, the need for
the potential school site shown in the Specific Plan for that
Sector to serve students of the Specific Plan area shall be
determined pursuant to the School Agreement and, if needed to
serve those students, the precise location of that site shall
10
also be determined. In determining the precise locations for
these new school sites, and the amount of land that will be
reserv.ed for each site, the City will give due consideration,
consistent with the Recreation Element of its General Plan, to
locations adjacent to City parks and to the joint use by the
Tustin Unified School District of adjacent City parks for school
recreation facilities.
1.6 Golf Course. The Project shall include an eighteen-
hole golf course, open to the public, of at least 150 acres in
size generally in the area indicated as the conceptual location
the Specific Plan. Customary ancillary improvements, such as
club house, pro shop, restaurant, and cart storage facility,
shall be permitted, consistent with the Specific Plan. Prior to
construction, Developer shall submit a report detailing the
ownership, planned operation of the course, design and layout and
proposed facilities to serve the course.
1.7 Residential Development. Only single family detached
residential units shall be constructed in the estate, iow and
medium iow density residential land use categories. In all other
residential land use categories, single-family attached and
detached residential units shall be permitted, and apartment
projects shall be allowed subject to conditional use permit.
1.8 Hillside Grading Ordinance. Notwithstanding Sections
2.3 and 2.4 below, development of the hillside district areas of
the Specific Plan shall be sub3ect to any hillside grading ordi-
nance that is adopted by the City subsequent to the execution of
this Agreement. City shall diligently proceed with the prepara-
tion and adoption of the hillside grading ordinance. Developer
11
agrees to work and cooperate with City in the preparation of a
hillside grading ordinance'and to that end, Developer agrees to
bear the reasonable costs, not to exceed $25,000, without prior
written approval of Developer, for the preparation of the hill-
side grading ordinance. Any subsequently adopted hillside grad-
ing ordinance shall be consistent with accepted engineering
practices and standards and shall be in conformance with the
Hillside District Guidelines in the Specific Plan except insofar
as inconsistent with accepted engineering practices and stand-
ards.
1.9 Development Phasing and Fiscal Impact Review.
A. The overall fiscal impact of development of the
EaSt Tustin area, which includes the Property,
Tract No. 12345 and Parcel Map No. 84-1032 (all of
which comprise the "Fiscal Plan Area"), is of
substantial conce=~ to the City. As a part of the
planning process for the Fiscal Plan-Area, a fis-
cal impact analysis (Hoffman Report attached here-
to as Exhibit F) was conducted for the purpose of
evaluating the plan of development to determine
that it would not be likely to result in any
substantial negative fiscal impact to City during
the assumed phasing or at the completion of that
development. Cumulatively, the development phasing
plan as evaluated in the Hoffman Report projects
fifteen (15) percent excess of revenues over
costs, although some years are somewhat below the
12
fifteen (15) percent figure. These projected
excess revenues provide greater assurance that the
City will be protected as fully as possible from
unanticipated adverse financial impacts in the
future.
It is the intent of the phasing plan to
balance the development of uses which are net
revenue generators in the Fiscal Plan Area with
development of uses that create costs of City
services in excess of revenues to City so that an
overall surplus of revenues over costs is
achieved. The phasing plan for the Fiscal Plan
Area, which has been tested and validated by the
Hoffman Report, is as follows:

B. The above phasing plan is hereby established as
the Approved Phasing Plan and satisfies the fiscal
phasing requirements for the Fiscal Plan Area,
except as provided in Section 1.9D and E. The
cumulative number of residential' units for which
certificates of occupancy may be issued shall not
exceed the corresponding cumulative total or
square footage of occupied revenue generating uses
(retail, auto, hotel) or their equivalents, speci-
lied in the Approved Phasing Plan. For example,
upon occupancy of nine auto center dealers, occu-
pancy permits may be issued for up to 4,093 dwell-
An Auto Center dealership is a single owner br business that
engages in the sale of at least one type of vehicle. Under
this Agreement, in order for a single owner or business to
qualify for more than one auto center dealership, it must
engage in the sale of more than one vehicle type, and the
total annual anticipated sales for all dealers (counting such
single owner as two or more dealers)must average $10,900,000
per dealership, or more, in 1985 dollars.
14
Co
ing units. For the revenue generating uses, the
determination of occupancy will be: certificate
of occupancy for a non-speculative development
(i.e., one that is pre-leased or pre-sold); a
total of fifty (50) percent actual occupancy of
gross floor area for a speculative project (i.e.,)
one that is not pre-leased or pre-sold).
At the discretion of the Developer, retail
square footage, auto dealers, and hotel rooms of
equal revenue may be interchanged at any period
according to the following formula: 1,000 square
feet of retail = .967 hotel rooms or .0135 auto
dealers; 1 hotel room = .0139 auto dealers or
1,034 square feet of retail; 1 auto dealer = 71.81
hotel rooms or 74,251 square feet of retail. An
entire revenue use as shown in the Approved Phas-
ing Plan and as indicated in Section 3.8.2 of the
Specific Plan cannot be eliminated through the
application of this formula without an amendment
to the Specific Plan.
The City will monitor performance of the-Approved
Phasing Plan in conjunction with the annual re-
views provided in Section 3.1 of this Agreement.
If development is proceeding in compliance with
15
DJ
the Approved Phasing Plan, the City shall find
that the Developer has met the fiscal phasing
requirements of this Agreement, unless a substan-
tial event occurs, as described in 1.PD.
It is acknowledged that while the Hoffman Report
projects a positive, fiscal balance for the Fiscal
Plan Area, the City cannot itself secure the
15 -A
revenues to be received from the Fiscal Plan Area,
and the costs of services to the Fiscal Plan Area
may be adversely impacted by a significant ~nfore-
seen event outside the City's control and not
considered in the Hoffman Report (such as, but not
limited to, a change in State or Federal law or
mandate of a State or Federal court, but not such
anticipated events as inflation which is contem-
plated in the Hoffman Report, including by its
reference to constant 1985-86 dollars). There-
fore, if because of a significant unforeseen event
outside of the City's control and not considered
in the ~offman Report, and after testing through
the use of the fiscal model and assumptions set
forth in the Hoffman Report adjusted for such
significant unforeseen event, the City determines
that the ratio of revenues to costs for the Fiscal
Plan Area is less than one to one (a "Fiscal
Deficit") because either (i) the revenues being
received from the Fiscal Plan Area are signifi-
cantly less than the revenues projected by the
~offman Report, or (ii) the costs of services
provided to the Fiscal Plan Area are higher than
projected in the ~offman Report, then City shall
provide written notice to Developer, along with
supporting data, that City may decide that it is
necessary to withhold approval of tentative maps
based upon such Fiscal Deficit. Notice shall be
16
provided 60 days in advance of any City action to
withhold tentative map approvals to provide time
for Developer to review City's data and method-
ology and for the parties to begin negotiations
under 1.gE below. Developer shall have the right
to respond in writing and/or orally at the City
Council meeting wherein the proposed action will
be considered. Sixty days following its notice to
Developer, City may determine in the reasonable
exercise of its discretion to withhold or delay
further approvals of proposed tentative maps based
on its determination that City is experiencing a
Fiscal Deficit due to such events, that no solu-
tion to the Fiscal Deficit has been identified
through negotiations under Section 1.gE, and that
the developments proposed at that time will not
eliminate the Fiscal Deficit. Such withholding or
delaying may continue until a solution to the
Fiscal Deficit is identified and implemented.
In t. he event there is a determination by the City
that there is a Fiscal Deficit under Section 1.gD,
City and t_he Developer shall enter into good faith
negotiations to eliminate the Fiscal Deficit. The
intent of these negotiations is to identify a way
to formulate a program to eliminate the Fiscal
Deficit and allow development of the Specific Plan
to proceed. Until such time as City and Developer
have reached agreement on how to eliminate ~he
Fiscal Deficit, City may withold tentative map
approvals for the Property. The good faith nego-
tiations shall address the following:
1. The permanence of the revenue changes.
2. The short-term and long-term revenue and cost
impacts to the City.
3. Proposed adjustments to the Specific Plan and
the Approved Phasing Plan that will eliminate
short-term and long-term adverse revenue
impacts to the City as related to the Fiscal
Plan Area.
The goal of the negotiations shall be to achieve
the percentage of excess revenues over costs pro-
jected in the Hoffman Report. The minimum
acceptable level of achievement shall be a ratio
of revenues to costs of one to one as measured by
the Hoffman Report model.
In regard to the adjustments outlined in 1.gE, the
City and the Developer agree to seek to increase
the revenues and/or decrease the costs in order to
eliminate the Fiscal Deficit by taking one or more
of the following actions:
1. A change in the phasing of residential or
commercial developments as identified in the
Approved Phasing Plan, which change may
result in an Amended Approved Phasing Plan;
2. An increase in the scope of revenue generat-
ing uses in the Fiscal Plan Area. The. in-
18
crease in revenue uses shall be restricted to
commercially zoned or mixed use areas. If
these areas have been fully developed, resi-
dential areas shall be considered. Any con-
sideration of residential areas will require
an amendment to the Specific Plan, and any
transfer of residential units will be subject
to the requirements and limitations of the
Specific Plan. Areas designated as low den-
sity or estate density shall ~ot be subse-
quently used for' commercial uses; and/or
3. The Developer, at its discretion, may identi-
fy and commit to alternative revenue sources
to make up for any shortfall in revenues
created by the unforeseen event.
4. The City at its discretion may make
downward adjustments in levels of service
provided,
5. The City at its discretion may identify addi-
tional sources of revenue including but not
limited to service districts, user fees, etc.
1.10 ~ ~ ~. The City has determined the
need for an additional fire protection facility to serve the East
Tustin area (consisting of the land included in the Property,
Trac~ No. 12345, and Parcel No. 84-10321). Developer shall make
available to City without cost to City a parcel of land (not =o
exceed one acre in area) adequate to support a facility of 8,000
square feet. Developer shall provide for the construction of
that facility per City standards and the acquisition of a new
engine-pumper for that facility at total costs not to exceed $1.3
million in 1986 dollars, excluding land. Acquisition of the land
and engine-pumper and construction of the fire facility may be
financed through the formation of a Mello-Roos district or other
similar assessment or special tax district, or through fee pro-
grams as may be adopted by the City, payable upon issuance of
building permits, to finance such acquisition and construction
or, if no similar financing method is approved by City, by
Developer dedication of that parcel and by Developer advancing
the funds for such construction and acquisition directly to the
City, or by a combination of the foregoing, as reasonably deter-
mined by the City after consultation between the City and the
Developer. In the event that the City and Developer determine
that the provisions of the fire protection facility should and
can be financed through the imposition of a fee payable upon
issuance of a building permit, and the total amount of such fees
held by the City at the time the fire protection facility is
needed are not sufficient to pay for such acquisition and con-
struction, then the Developer shall advance to the City such
additional funds as may be needed for that acquisition and con-
struction, subject to reimbursement from any such fees subse-
quently collected. The total of such fees and advances shall
not exceed the acreage and dollar limit established in this
Section.
2O
The City shall proceed expeditiously to complete the con-
struction of that facility and the acquisition of the engine-
pumper, once the land and the funds for such construction and
acquisition are available, so as not to delay the construction
and occupancy of any buildings in the East Tustin area. The City
agrees that a facility consisting of 8,000 square feet con-
structed on one acre or less of land and housing a single engine-
pumper will satisfy all of the requirements for fire protection
to serve the East Tustin Area. Nothing in this Agreement shall
preclude City from determining that the facility can and should
serve additional territory outside of the East Tustin area. At
City's discretion the facility may be enlarged, but without
additional cost to Developer, unless such enlargement is at
Developer's request and upon subsequent agreement between City
and Developer.
If the Developer dedicates the parcel of land for fire
protection facility to City, the instrument of conveyance for the
parcel of land for the fire protection facility shall include
language clearly specifying that such dedicated land shall be
///
///
///
///
///
///
///
///

21
used for fire protection facility purposes only, and that if a
fire protection facility is not constructed on the dedicated land
within a three-year time period, the land shall be returned to
the Developer.
1.11 Public Improvements Outside of East Tustin Area.
A. Environmental Impact Report 85-2 identified that
the development of the Property under the Specific
Plan will have an impact on Irvine Boulevard,
determined at thirty (30) percent of the total
traffic impact. The Developer shall be respon-
sible for and shall contribute a fair-share por-
tion of funds required for the widening of Irvine
Boulevard to a six-lane Primary Highway status.
The Developer's fair share contribution shall
not exceed thirty (30) percent of the actual con-
struction and right-of-way acquisition costs at
the time of construction award and-commencement;
provided, however, that in no event shall such
contribution exceed S300,000 adjusted for infla-
tion. The required improvements to Irvine Boule-
vard include restriping the right-of-way to a six-
lane prima=y, and the acquisition of approximately
five properties and improvements to the right-of-
way for these properties.
The contribution by Developer shall be paid
at the time of building permit issuance and shall
be pro-rated based on an estimate developed by the
City Engineer. This figure may, at City's discre-
22
rich, be updated yearly due to the effects of
inflation. The monies received by City sh~ll be
~eposited into an interest-bearing account until
such time as monies are required for the widening
project.
If a contract for the Irvine Boulevard widen-
ing project is awarded by the City 9riot to the
termination of this Agreement, the Developer shall
pay on demand, .prior to or concurrent with the
award, the full amount of its fair share portion
of funds, as described above, required for the
project. The full amount shall be determined by
Subtracting the funds available to City from out-
side sources, e.g.F.A.U, funding, etc., for this
project, and any funds collected at the time of
issuance of building permits from the total amount
of monies of the awarded contract attributed to
the Specific Plan impact. At the point in time
that the Developer pays this full amount, no fur-
ther contribution for this widening project shall
be required at time of building permit issuance.
If the subject project is not commenced with-
in the term of this Agreement, all unused monies
collected from Developer for such project shall be
returned to Developer.
In order to serve development in the East Tustin
area, the City wiil need tO hire additional
persoD_nel, Which in turn will contribute to the
23
City's need to expand its existing Civic Center
facilities. The City has determined that the East
Tustin area's contribution to the need for expan-
sion of the City's existing Civic Center facili-
ties, and therefore the Developer's fair share
contribution to the costs of that expansion, is
and shall be the lesser of forty percent (40%) of
the total construction costs of that expansion, or
$2,000,000.00 (adjusted for increases or decreases
in costs of construction from the date hereof
until made, as computed by reference to the con-
struction cost index over the same time period)
(the "Developer's Contribution").
Upon sixty days' prior written demand by the
City and based upon the City's reasonable determi-
nation of the need therefor, the Developer shall
deliver to the City a letter of credit in the
amount of $2,000,000.00 (adjusted for increases or
decreases in costs of construction from the date
hereof to the date the letter of credit is pro-
vided, as computed by reference to the construc-
tion cost index over the same period) to secure
payment of the Developer's Contribution. After
such a call for a letter of credit City shall
proceed expeditiously with the planning, design
and improvement of the Civic Center improvements.
The amount of any letter of credit delivered to
and held by the City pursuant to this section
24
shall be adjusted for increases or decreases in
the costs of construction on each anniversary of
the date of the original deliver~.
The City and the Developer agree that the
Developer's Contribution may with approval of City
be made through the City's formation, and the
Developer's cooperation in the formation, of a
Mello-Roos special tax district encompassing the
Property or portions thereof, and the sale or
issuance of bonds or other debt or participation
instruments by that district which will yield to
the City net proceeds equal to the Developer's
Contribution.
Upon the formation of such a district or
other financing vehicle agreed to by City and
City's receipt of the funds required for such
project, any letter of credit then being held by
the City shall be released and returned to the
Developer, and the Developer shall thereafter be
relieved of any obligation to thereafter deliver
any such letter of credit to the City, and any
further obligation to make the Developer's Contri-
bution except through participation in the dis-
. trict or other financing vehicle agreed to by
ci .
In the event that in order to commence the
construction for the expansion of the Civic Center
25
facilities the City requires the Developer's Con-
tribution prior to the time that any district has
been formed and bonds or other debt or participa-
tion instruments have been sold or issued, it is
agreed that the City will, if determined by City
to be feasible, independently obtain financing
which does not involve assessments on property in
the East Tustin area for the Developer's Contribu-
tion, from such other financing sources as then
may be available to the City as. part of the City's
financing of the total costs of constructing that
expansion, and that the City shall only be entit-
led to make periodic demands against the letter of
credit and the Developer in such amounts as may be
required to service the principal and interest
payments that are otherwise incurred by the City
in so financing the Developer's Contribution as a
part of the total financing of the expansion con-
struction. Any such draws against the letter of
credit and/or payments in lieu thereof by Devel-
oper shall be reimbursed upon the receipt by City
of any proceeds from the sale or issuance of bonds
or other debt which are based on assessments upon
property in the East Tustin Area. It is further
agreed that the City shall give the Developer
reasonable prior written notice of the amount of
any such principal and interest payments that will
become due, and an opportunity to make those pay-
26
merits, prior to the time the City makes any
demands or draws against the letter of credit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either the
City or the Developer may propose an alternative
to the formation of a Mello-Roos special tax dis-
trict as an alternative method for financing the
Developer's Contribution, which alternative shall
be considered by the other party in good faith,
and if agreed to by the City and Developer such
alternative will be substituted for the Mello-Roos
special tax district as the financing method. The
parties agree not to unreasonably refuse to agree
upon any such alternative financing method.
1.12 Satisfaction of Provisions of Government Code Section
65915. The Specific Plan permits Developer to construct a' wide
variety of residential units, including apartments, and allows
for a range of residential land use densities, including medium
high density that together offer Developer the flexibility, in
its discretion consistent with construction financing, 'to provide
housing in a mix of price ranges, including housing that may be
affordable to persons of low and moderate income. Developer
agrees that the City has provided adequate incentives in the
Specific Plan for the development of housing pursuant to Govern-
ment Code Section 6§g15, if Developer so elects, although Devel-
oper has not agreed to construct nor will be required to con-
struct any percentage or number of units as described in Govern-
ment Code Section 6591§(a). Developer is fully aware of the
27
provi~ions of Government Code Section 65915 and Developer hereby
waives all rights and benefits which Developer may have under the
statute to assert that the City may be required to provide any
additional incentives for residential development of the Property
consistent with the Specific Plan.
II
COMMITMENTS TO DEVELOPER AND DEVELOPER ENTITLEMENTS
2.1 Permitted Uses. The permitted uses of the Property,
and the intensity and density of such uses for the term of this
Agreement, shall be as provided in the Specific Plan and this
Agreement. As a standard governing the exercise of the City's
discretion to issue conditional use permits for the construction
of apartment projects under the Specific Plan, the City agrees
that the Developer will be allowed to construct apartment pro-
jeots in the medium high and medium density areas of the Property
totalling 25% of the total allowable number of dwelling units in
the Specific Plan and Tract No. 12345. The City recognizes that,
given the size of the Property and the length of time it will
take to complete development of the Property, Developer may
decide to propose adjustments in terms of the precise boundaries
of the Sectors and subsectors, the precise location of roads,
parks, and other public use areas to be dedicated, the precise
location of the golf course, and, subject to the density limita-
tions of the Specific Plan, the precise densities of development
as distributed in the various Sectors and subsectors described in
the Specific Plan. For purposes of this provision, therefore,
the City agrees to cooperate with Developer in any such proposed
adjustments, so long as:
28
A. The permitted uses, and the ultimate density and
intensity of such uses for the Property overall,
are consistent with the ultimate uses and densi-
ties contained in the Specific Plan as currently
approved and contained in this Agreement~
B. The environmental impacts are within the limits
identified in EIR No. 85-2 and the Su991ement
thereto~ and
C. The adjustments would not, in the sole exercise of
City's discretion, be inconsistent with the pro-
visions of Section 1.9 herein. No change, modifi-
cation, revision or alteration may be made in the
Specific Plan withoUt review and approval by those
agencies of City whose approval is currently
required under the existing rules, ordinances and
procedures of City. A change, modification,
revision or alteration in the Specific Plan shall
not be effective as to Developer without the 9riot
express written approval of City and Developer.
2.2 Heights and Sizes. The maximum allowable size and
height of all buildings constructed on the Property shall be as
provided in Section No. 3 of the Specifio Plan and shall not
violate the terms of the Browning Corridor Agreement among
Developer, City, CiTy of Irvine and the United States of America.
2.3 Conditions. For the term of this Agreement, the condi-
tions, terms, restrictions and requirements for any subsequent
discretionary actions by City concerning the development of the
29
Property shall be as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth
in the Tustin City Code as currently in force, as applied through
the Specific Plan. City may increase the amount of fees'applic-
able to the development of the Property so long as the amount of
the increase corresponds to the costs of services, labor or
materials for which the fee is collected. Fees'for permits and
development processing shall be those in effect at the time
payment is required. This section shall not be construed to
limit the authority of the City to charge processing fees for
land use approvals, building permits, and other similar permits
and entitlements either currently in force and effect or as
established in accordance with Government Code Section 65456.
2.4 Subsequent Discretionary Action. Except as provided in
this Agreement, any subsequent discretionary actions by City for
development of the Property for the term of this Agreement shall
be governed only by those rules, regulations and official
policies governing design, improvement and construction standards
and specifications in force at the time of the execution of this
Agreement, except as they may be modified by changes in uniform
codes. It is understood that City may apply rules, regulations
and policies of general application adopted after execution of
this Agreement in subsequent discretionary actions, if any,
applicable to the Property, but only to the extent permitted by
law, and then only to the extent that such new rules, regulations
and policies do not conflict with currently existing rules,
regulations and policies, and this Agreement. City agrees that
any moratorium on the issuance or approval of any permits or the
approval of any subdivision maps shall be inconsistent herewith.
30
This provision regarding limitations on the imposition of mora-
torium shall not be construed to limit actions by City pursuant
to the provisions of Section 1.9(D) and (E) herein. This
Development Agreement shall not prevent the City from denying or
conditionally approving any subsequent development project appli-
cation submitted for other real property which is not related to
the Property or this Development Agreement on the basis of exist-
ing or new rules, regulations and policies. In the event that
any subsequent' change in the laws or regulations of a federal or
state agency prevents or preclude~ compliance with one or more
provisions of this Development Agreement, such provision shall be
modified or suspended only to the extent necessary to comply with
such new federal or state law or regulation.
2.5 Progress of Development. Developer represents that it
intends to pursue development of the Property in accordance with
this Agreement with reasonable diligence as it deems appropriate
in its sound business Judgment, in light of market conditions and
internal business needs, and agrees that it shall not
unreasonably de.lay pursuing such development of the Property.
City agrees to cooperate with Developer to accomplish this
intent.
2.6 Environmental Review. In approving the Specific Plan
and entering into this Agreement, the City as lead agency has
reviewed and considered the potential adverse environmental
impacts related to the Specific Plan, including the potential
future infrastructure and utility needs of the development of the
Property, such as the potential demands the development will make
31
on local and regional streets and highways, water capacity and
water lines, sewer capacity and sewer lines, and storm drainage
systems, and related ener~ consez-vation, traffic, noise, and air
quality impacts. The City has further reviewed and considered
projected future regional and cumulative infrastructure and
utility demands that will compete with the Specific Plan for
available capacities and cumulatively add to potential adverse
impacts.
After assessing these and other potential adverse
environmental impacts associated with the Specific Plan, the City
has imposed mitigation measures as a part of the Specific Plan
and this Agreement, including, among other things, requiring that
the Developer commit to contributing at least its full, fairly
allocated share of the costs and dedications for providing traf-
fic capacities prior to full and final completion and occupancy
of the private development allowed under the Specific Plan.
2.7 Consistency With Laws in Force. City finds, based upon
all information available to the City prior to or concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement, that there are no rules,
regulations, ordinances, statutes, or official policies of, or
applicable to, the City in force as of the date of execution of
this Agreement that would prohibit or prevent the full completion
and occupancy of the private development allowed by the Specific
Plan, at the uses, densities, intensities, designs and heights,
and as agreed to herein.
2.8 Integrated Project. City acknowledges that the public
improvement and private development portions of the Specific Plan
are intended to constitute a single, integrated Development
32
Project, that each component of the Project is intended to be
related to completion of each other component, and that the
viability of each component of the Project is intended to be
dependent upon completion of each other component to achieve the
full performance of this Development Agreement.
2.9 Cooperation in Funding.
A. ~R~A~t. Bond mrp~rams. The City agrees to
cooperate with Developer in participation in the
housing bond programs of the County of Orange to
assist in the financing of housing development in
the Project.
B. Assessment and Special Tax Districts. The City
shall process all applications by the Developer
for formation of assessment districts or special
tax districts to finance any of the major public
improvements and, to the extent feasible, in the
exercise of the City's discretion, shall cause
such districts to be formed. The City shall
coopera~e in the formation of any special tax
district by the Tustin Unified School District to
finance the acquisition of new school sites or the
construction of new schools in the Project.
III
ADMINISTRATION
3.1 Annual Review.
A.
The City Council shall review Developer's per-
formance under this Agreement at least every
33
twelve (12) months from the date this Agreement is
entered into until expiration of the term of the
Agreement. In connection with such review, both
City and Developer shall have a reasonable oppor-
tunity to assert matters which either believes
have not been undertaken in accordance with this
Agreement, to explain the basis for such asser-
tion, and to receive from the other party a Justi-
fication of its position on such matters.
The Director of Community Development shall give
the Developer or successor in interest thereto at
least sixty (60) days' advance notice of the time
at which the City Council will review the Agree-
ment.
The City Council may refer the matter to the
Planning Commission for further proceedings or for
a report and recommendation.
The Developer or successor in interest thereto
shall demonstrate good faith compliance with the
terms of this Agreement and shall furnish evidence
of good faith compliance, as the City, in the
reasonable exercise of its discretion, may
require. Evidence of good faith compliance may
inclUde the following:
(1) Conformance with the requirements of the
Specific Plan;
(2) Conformance with the Approved Phasing Plan as
34
set forth in Section 1.9;
(3) Conformance with provisions of this Agreement
identified by City.
E. If, as a result of such periodic review, the City
Council finds and determines, on the basis of
substantial evidence, that the Developer or
successor in interest thereto has not complied in
good faith with the terms or conditions of the
Agreement, the City Council may issue a written
"Notice of Non-Compliance" pursuan~ to Section 3.2
herein and may thereafter, as provided in Section
3.3, commence proceedings to enforce, modify, or
terminate this Agreement.
3.2 'Notice of Non-Compliance. If on the basis of the
annual review the City determines, or at any other time during
the term of this Agreement, either Party concludes that the other
party has not complied in good faith with the terms of this
Agreement, then such Party may issue a written "Notice of Non-
Compliance" specifying the grounds therefor and all facts demon-
strating such non-compliance. The Party receiving a Notice of
Non-Compliance shall have forty-five (45) days to respond in
writing to said notice by specifying either how its non-compli-
ance has been cured or the grounds upon which it believes that it
is complying with this Agreement. The time to respond to the
Notice of Non-Compliance may be extended by mutual agreement of
the Parties. If the response to the Notice of Non-Compliance has
not been received in the offices of the party alleging non-
35
compliance within the prescribed forty-five (45) days, or within
such other period of time as mutually agreed, the Notice of Non-
Compliance shall be conclusively presumed to be valid, and if the
non-complying party is Developer, the City may commence proceed-
ings on termination or modification of the Agreement pursuant to
Sections 9617(d)-(e) and 9618 of the Tustin City Code and Section
3.3 herein.
If the party receiving a Notice of Non-Compliance responds
within the time period provided above, ~he parties agree to meet
in good faith at reasonable times and from time to time for a
period of at least sixty (60) days to arrive at a mutually
acceptable resolution of the matter(s) asserted in the Notice of
Non-Compliance and disputed in the response. If after sixty (60)
days, or any extension of time as mutually agreed to by the
parties, the parties have failed to arrive at a mutually accept-
able resolution of such matter(s), either party may pursue any
remedy at law or in equity, and the City may commence proceedings
on termination or modification of this Agreement pursuant to
Sections 9617(d)-(e) and 9618 of the Tustin City Code and Section
3.3 herein.
3.3 Modification or Te&mination.
A. If the City Council determines to proceed with
modification-or termination of this Agreement
after following the procedure for a Notice of Non-
Compliance under Section 3.2 of this Agreement,
the City Council shall give notice to the Devel-
oper or successor in interest thereto of its
intention to do so. The notice shall contain:
36
3.4
Developer's oompliance with
conditions of this Agreement.
Amendment and Cancellation.
A.
(1) The time and place of the hearing;
(2) A statement as to whethe~ or not the City
Council proposes to modify or terminate this
Agreement;
(3) Any proposed modification to the Agreement;
(4) Other information which the City Council
considers necessary to inform the Developer
or successor in interest.thereto of the
nature of the hearing.
At the time set for the hearing on the
modification or termination, the City Council may
refer the matter back to the Planning Commission
for further proceedings or for report and
recommendation. The City Council may take such
action as it deems necessary to protect the
interests of the City, including but not limited
to, the receipt of additional evidence as to
the terms and
Either the City, Developer or Developer's
successor in interest thereto may propose an
amendment or cancellation in whole or in part of
this Agreement.
The procedure for proposing and approving an
amendment to or cancellation in whole or in part
of this Agreement shall be the same as the
37
