HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

GFELLER DEVELOPMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the following:
The Mayor to execute the final form of the agreements between the
City and Gfeller Development Co. for the parking structure and mall
and plaza.
e
A loan from the General Fund to the Redevelopment Agency in the
amount of $350,000, to be repaid in three years at 12% interest (or
whatever higher rate is authorized by state law and subsequently
approved by the City Council), said loan to supplement Agency funds
allocated for the parking structure.
e
The Redevelopment Agency to allocate an additional $83,743 from the
Agency unrestricted fund balance to supplement the $250,000 currently
budgeted for the parking structure and the $350,000 loan.
DISCUSSION:
The City Attorney has submitted a memorandum, a copy of which is attached,
which outlines the final form of the parking structure lease and option
agreements and mall and plaza agreement.
The mall and plaza agreements provide that the City will contribute $50,000
towards their construction, with Gfeller Development responsible for all
maintenance. In approving the initial agreements, the City Council
indicated its intent to exercise the option to purchase the City's share of
the parking structure as soon as possible in order to avoid interest costs
during the construction period. However, subsequent to the February 1,
1982 meeting, it was determined that the City would be unable to purchase
the parking structure at the outset. Essentially, the City is unable to
work out an arrangement wherein the City would have an adequate pledge of
security granted by Gfeller Development during the construction period.
This is not because Gfeller Development does not want to assist in
determining the form of security. Because of Gfeller Development Company's
loan arrangements for the office project, it would not be possible for the
City to obtain a first deed of trust (for the property upon which the
parking structure will be situated) which the City considers the most
desirable form of security.

DISCUSSION:
The City Attorney has submitted a memorandum, a copy of which is attached,
which outlines the final form of the parking structure lease and option
agreements and mall and plaza agreement.
The mall and plaza agreements provide that the City will contribute $50,000
towards their construction, with Gfeller Development responsible for all
maintenance. In approving the initial agreements, the City Council
indicated its intent to exercise the option to purchase the City's share of
the parking structure as soon as possible in order to avoid interest costs
during the construction period. However, subsequent to the February 1,
1982 meeting, it was determined that the City would be unable to purchase
the parking structure at the outset. Essentially, the City is unable to
work out an arrangement wherein the City would have an adequate pleage of
security granted by Gfeller Development during the construction period.
This is not because Gfeller Development does not want to assist in
determining the form of security. Because of Gfeller Development Company's
loan arrangements for the office project, it would not be possible for the
City to obtain a first deed of trust (for the property upon which the
parking structure will be situated) which the City considers the most
desirable form of security.
Because of this limitation, the. City Attorney and staff have determined it
would be in the City's best interest to enter into the lease and purchase
the City's share of the parking structure upon its completion. It is
important to note this is the arrangement which was approved in concept
when the City and Gfeller Development initially agreed upon the joint
venture. Unfortunately, through no fault of the City or Gfeller
Development, an immediate purchase cannot be effectuateU.
The financial implication is the cost of construction financing which will
be approximately $49,000. This amount represents approximately 18.5~
interest on the estimated construction cost of $634,743 and 1 1/2 points
for the loan.
In addition to the cost of construction financing, an additional $30,000
(this amount is included in the $634,743 construction estimate) has been
included for installing a fire sprinkler system. Since ground level
parking will be approximately four feet below grade, there will be no
exterior openings at the ground level except at the C Street frontage. In
order to meet building and fire code requirements a sprinkler system must
be included. The alternative would be to reduce the size of the parking
structure, however, approximately twenty parking stalls would be lost.
Despite the additional costs of construction financing and a fire sprinkler
system, the City's share of the cost of the parking structure is
reasonable. It is important to keep in mind that the City is avoiding the
cost of land acquisition and is providing additional parking necessary to
encourage and stimulate sound development in the Old Town area.

STEVENS SQUARE PARKING STRUCTURE
Enclosed are the originals and two copies of the following docu-
ments:
Parking Structure Lease
Option Agreement and Escrow Instructions
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions
and Reservations of Easements
Mall and Plaza Agreement
Delivery letter of attorney Bruce Charles
These documents are now in final form (except as noted below)
and bare been approved by the attorneys for Gfeller Development
Company and by this office, having been substantially revised in
various respects since the drafts that were in hand on February
1st.
Originally the documents were based on the premise that approxi-
mately eighty-one spaces in the parking structure would be leased
by the Redevelopment Agency from Gfeller Development until such
time as the Redevelopment Agency found it possible and desirable to
purchase those spaces. Subsequently it was decided that it would
be possible and more financially desirable if the Redevelopment
Agency could pay the purchase price for the interest in the parking
structure at the very outset of the transaction, thus saving
interest and points on a construction loan. An attempt was made
to work out a procedure whereby this could be done while still
meeting all of the Agency's legal obligations and requirements of
adequate security. Attempts to work out procedures to attain
these goals were not successful and we have had to fall back to
the original concept of a lease and option. However, the trans-
action is now structured in such manner that the Redevelopment
Agency will purchase its interest in the parking structure as soon
as the structure is complete and the title company can insure
unencumbered title in the Redevelopment Agency.
Further developments have been that it now appears certain that the
parking structure must be sprinklered,which of course will result
in an increased option-purchase price, and the construction loan
interest rate and loan points have been fixed.
We would request that a copy Of each of these documents be provided
at once to the involved members of the City staff, e.g. Mike Brote-
markle, Ron Nault and Robert Ledendecker and that they each
carefully review the documents insofar as they pertain to their
particular areas of involvement. We would ask that any comments,
requests, suggestions, or questions of the staff be given to us at
once. We would suggest that copies of each of these documents be
furnished to the City Council as soon as possible.
Gfeller Development wants to start construction on the parking
structure as soon as the agreements are signed, which they hope
might be today. Gfeller Development understands that the only
existing authorization for execution of the agreements is that which
was given by the Agency at its meeting of February 1st and it limits
the obligation of the Agency to $600,000.00. It is for that reason
that the agreements provide for maximum obligation of the Agency of
$600,000.00 but the delivery letter of the attorneys for Gfeller
Development provides that Gfeller Development may rescind the agree-
ments if the Council does not within ten days authorize the increase
of the maximum obligation of the Agency to $634,734.00 plus the
construction loan points and interest, which would mean a total
maximum of approximately $702,000.00.
we will need to have the original and three copies of ea-h of the
documents signed by the Mayor and City Clerk.

Operating Expense Adjustments.
(a) For the purposes of this Section, the following terms
are defined as follows:
"Base Year":
this Lease.
"Comparison Year":
the Base Year.
/he first full calendar year during the term of
Each calendar year of the term after
"Direct Expenses": All reasonable, customary and necessary
direct costs of operation, maintenance and repair, paid by the Lessor,
as determined by standard accounting practices, which shall include the
following costs by way of illustration, but not be limited to: real
property taxes and assessments (whether assessed ag-inst the Lessor or
Lessee), water and sewer charges, if any, insurance premi~ns', utilities,
janitorial services, landscaping services, labor costs incurred in the
management and operation of the Parking Structure, supplies, rote-
rials, equipment, and tools. ("Direct Expenses" shall not include
depreciation on the Parking Structure of which the Premises are a part
or equipment therein, loan payments, executive salaries, or real estate
brokers' co~missions). Notwithstanding the foregoing both parties
understand and agree that the cost of constructing or operating any
control or access devices or, as to Lessee, any alterations, additions
or improvements made by Lessee on the Premises pursu~mnt to Section 9(b),
shall be excluded in the determination of the operating expense adjust-
ment.
(b) If the Direct Expenses paid or incurred by the Lessor
for the Cormparison Year on account of the operation, maintenance or
-6-
repair of the Parking Structure of which the Premises are a part are in
excess of the Direct Expenses paid or incurred for' the Base Year, then
the Lessee shall pay such a portion of the excess as is equal to the
obtained by multiplying the amount of the excess by .3838. Lessor
shall endeavor to give to Lessee on or before the first day of March of
each year following the respective Comparison Year a statement of the
increase in rent payable by Lessee hereunder, but failure by Lessor to
give such statement by said date shall not constitute a waiver by Lessor
of its r~ght to require an increase in rent. Upon receipt of the
statement for the first Comparison Year, Lessee shall pay in full the
total amount of increase due for the first Comparison Year, and in
addition for the then current year, the amount of any s~ch increase
shall be used as an estimate for said current year and this amount sh~ll
be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments and Lessee shall
pay to Lessor, concurrently with the regular ~1onthly rent payment next
due followin~ the receipt of such statement, an s~ount equal to one (1)
monthly installment multiplied by the number of months fro~ January in
the calendar year in which said statement is suk~itted to the month of
such payment, both months inclusive. Subsequent installments shall be
payable concurrently with the regular monthly rent payments for the
balance of that calendar year and shall continue until the next Com-
parison Year's statement is rendered. If the next or any succeeding
Comparison Year results in a greater increase in Direct Expenses, then
upon receipt of a statement from LeSsor, Lessee shall pay a lump
equal to such total increase ia Direct Expenses over the Base Year, less
the total of the monthly installments of estimated increases paid in the
-7-
previous calendar year for which comparison is then being made to the
Base Year; and the estimated monthly installments to be paid for the
next year, following said Comparison Year, shall be adjusted to reflect
such increase. If in any Comparison Year the Leesee's share of Direct
Expenses is less than the preceding year, than upon receipt of Lessor's
statement any overpayment made by Lessee on the monthly installment
basis provided above shall be credited towards the next monthly rent
falling due and the estimated monthly installments of Direct Expenses to
be paid shall be adjusted to reflect such lower Direct E~penses for the
most recent Comparison Year.
(c) Even though the term has expired and Lessee has vacated
the Premises, when the final determination is made of Les~ee's share of
Direct Expenses for the year in which this Lease terminates, Lessee
shall inrnediately pay to Lessor any increases due over the esti,mted
expenses paid and conversely any overpayment made in the event said
expenses decrease shall be i~,~diately rebated by ~essor to Lessee.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section
6, the rental payment by Lessee shall in no event be less than the rent
specified in Section 5 bereinabove.
?. Use.
(a) Leesee and any and all persons it generally or specifi-
cally authorizes shall use the Premises for the parking of automo-
biles and/or passenger trucks. Lessor agrees that its use of any
portion of the Parkin~ Structure Will be similarly limited to the
parking of automobiles and/or passenger trucks. Neither Lessor or
Lessee will use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose
--8--
without the prior written consent of the other party.
(b) Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be done
in or about the Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which will
in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other
insurance upon the l~rking Structure or any of its contents or cause
cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Parking Structure or
a~y part thereof or any of its contents. Lessee shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or ~bout the Pre~/ses or Parking Structure which
will in a~¥ way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants,
customers, ~uests, invitees, licensees or other users of the l~arking
Structure or injure or annoy them or use or allow the Premises or
Parking Structure to be used for any improper, i~moral, or objectionable
purpose, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on
or about the Premise~ or Parking Structure. Lessee shall not co,amir or
suffer to be cor~fttted any waste in or upon the Pr~m~ises or Parking
Structure. Lessor shall likewise be restricted and bound in the use of
the Parking Structure.
8. Compliance With Law.
(a) Neither Lessee nor Lessor shall use the premises or
permit anything to be done in or about the premises or Parking Structure
which will in any w~y conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or
government ~ule or re~,ulation now in force or which may hereafter be

waiver of any preceding, breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or

particular rental so ~ccepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such
preceding brea~h at the time of the acceptance of such rent.

include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges,
and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor.. Accordingly, if a~y

parties hereby a~ree that such late charges represent a fair and reason-
able esti,t~te of the cost that Lessor will incu~ by reason of the late
payment by Lessee. Acceptance' of such late charges by the Lessor shall
in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such
overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of .the other
rights and remedies granted hereunder.

agreements of the p~rties hereto with respect to any rotter covered or
mentioned in the Lease~ and no prior agreements or understandings

entirely freed and relieved of any liability under any and all of
its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease
arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after the

Section S.O1. Delinquency. Except as provided in Section 4.04,
any installment of any asses~nent provided for in this Declaration shall
become delinquent if not paid on the due date as established by the
Board of Directors of the Association. With respect to each installment
of an assessment not paid within ten (10) days after its due date, the
Board of Directors may, at its election, require the delinquent Owner to
pay a late charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the delinquent
installment, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law
on such delinquent sans, calculated from the date of delinquency to and
including the date full payment is received by the Association. If any
installment of a Regular Assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days
after its due date, the Board may mail a notice to the Owner and to the
first Mortgagee, if any, of such Owner. ~he notice shall specify (1)
the fact that the installment is delinquent; (2) the action required to
cure the default; (3) a date, not less than thirty (30) days from the
date the notice is mailed to the Owner, by which such default must be
cured; and (4) that failure to cure the default on or before the date
specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the balance of the
installments of the Regular Assessment for the then current fiscal year
and sale of Owner's interest in the Unit. ~he notice shall further
inform the Owner of his right to cure after acceleration. If the
delinquent installments of the Regular Assessment and any charges
thereon are not paid in full on or before the date specified in the
notice, the Board at its option my declare all of the unpaid balance of
the annual Regular Asses~nent for the then current fiscal year attribu-
table to that Owner and his interest in a Unit, to be in~iately due
and payable without further demand and may enforce the collection of the
full Regular Asses~nent and all charges thereon in any manner authorized
by law and this Declaration.
Section $.02. Notice of Lien. Except as provided in Section
5.04, the Board of Directors may cause to be recorded in the Office of
the County Recorder of Orange County a Notice of Assessment ("Notice of
Lien") securing the payment of any amses~nent or installment thereof,
levied by the Association against any O~ner. Such Notice of Lien shall
state the amount of such amsesmnent or installment, as the came may be,
and other authorized charges and interest, including the cost of pre-
paring and recording such Notice of Lien, the expenses of collection in
connection with any delinquent installments, reasonable attorney's fees,
a sufficient description of the Unit or interest therein against which
the same ham been ~ssessed, the name of the Owner thereof, and the name
and address of the Association. Such Notice of Lien shall be signed by
an authorized representative of the Association, including the attor-
-13-
ney(s) or property management company and its employees, then repre-
senting the Association. Upon payment to the Association of the full
amount claimed in the Notice of Lien, or other satisfaction thereof, the
Board of Directors shall cause to be recorded a Notice of Satisfaction
and Release of Lien ("Notice of Release") stating the satisfaction and
release of such amount cl2~med. ~he Board of Directors m~y de~r~nd alld
receive fro~ the applicable Owner a reasonable charge for the prepara-
tion and recordation of such Notice of Release before recording the
same. Any purchaser or encumbrancer, who has acted in good faith and
extended value, may rely upon such Notice of Release, as conclusive
evidence of the full satisfaction of the su~ns stated in the Notice of
Lien.
Section 5.03. Enforcement of Liens. Except as provided in
Section 5.04, all stains assessed in accordance with the provisions of
this Declaration shall constitute a lien on the respective Unit or
interest therein and shall be prior and superior to all other liens,
except (1) all taxes, bonds, assessments and other levies which, by law,
would be superior thereto, and (2) the lien or charge of any first
Mortgage of record (meaning any recorded Mortgage or deed of trust with
first priority or seniority over other Mortgages or deeds of trust) made
in good faith and for value and recorded prior to the date on which the
assessment lien became effective, subject to the provisions of this
Declaration. Asses~nent liens shall become effective upon recordation
of the Notice of Lien in the mmnner provided in Section 5.02. It shall
be the duty of the Board of Directors to enforce the collection of any
amounts due under this Declaration by one or more of the alternative
means of relief afforded by this Declaration. Assessment liens may be
enforced by sale of the interest of such Owner in the Unit or interest
therein by the Association, its attorney or other Person authorized to
make the sale., after failure of the Owner to pay an assessment, or
installment thereof, as provided herein. Such sale shall be conducted
in accordance with the provisions of the California Civil Code, appli-
cable to the exercise of powers of sale in Mortgages and deeds of trust,
or in any ~l~lner pernlitted by law. An action may be brought to fore-
close the lien of the Association by the Board, or by any Owner if the
Board fails or refuses to act, after the expiration of at least thirty
(30) days from the date on which the Notice of Lien was recorded;
provided that at least ten (10) days have expired since a copy of the
Notice of Lien was mailed to the Owner affected thereby, and subject to
the provisions of Section 5.01 in the event that the Board accelerates
the due date of any Regular Assessment installments. In any such
foreclosure, the Owner shall be required to pay a reasonable rental for
the Unit or interest therein and any Improvements thereon and the
plaintiff in such foreclosure action shall be entitled to the appoint-
ment of a receiver to collect the same. The Association, through its
agent, shall have the power to bid on the Unit or interest therein and
Improvements at foreclosure sale, and to acquire and hold, lease,
mortgage and convey the same. A suit to recover a money judgment for
unpaid Regular Assessments shall be maintainable without foreclosing or
waiving the lien securing the same, but this provision or any institu-
tion of suit to recover a money judgment shall not .constitute an affir-
mation of the adequacy of money damages. Any recovery resulting from a
suit in law or equity initiated pursuant to this Section may include
reasonable attorney's fees as fixed by the Court.
Section 5.04. Exemption of Tustin Community Redevelopment
Asency. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Declaration to the
contrary, should the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency (hereafter
referred to as '~fustin") become an O~ner of the Association, the Asso-
ciation's sole and exclusive remedy for unpaid assessments of any kind
by Tustin shall be an action for damages.
