This DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR SHORT-TERM TRANSITIONAL
HOUSING("Agreement") is entered effective as of , 2020,by and between
the CITY OF TUSTIN, a municipal corporation ("Tustin"), the TUSTIN HOUSING
AUTHORITY, a local housing authority ("Authority"), and FAMILY PROMISE OF

Authority are collectively and individually hereinafter referred to as the "City" and the City and
Operator, together, are collectively referred to herein as the "Parties" and individually as a
"Party"
RECITALS
A. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in
comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the
State of California adopted the "Development Agreement Statutes," Government Code Sections
65864, et seq. The Development Agreement Statutes authorize City to enter into an agreement
with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property and to provide for
development of such property and to establish certain development rights therein. Pursuant to the
authorization set forth in the Development Agreement Statutes, City has enacted procedures for
entering into development agreements which are contained in Tustin City Code Sections 9600 to
9619.
B. City and Operator entered into that certain Disposition and Development
Agreement for Short-Term Transitional Housing as of February 18, 2020 (the "DDA") pursuant
to which City agreed to sell, and Operator agreed to buy and develop,certain real property, all as
more specifically set forth in the DDA.
C. Pursuant to the DDA, Operator has an equitable and legal interest in the Site (as
defined below) in that it has the contractual right to purchase the Site from City for development.
D. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65864, the Legislature has found and
determined, among other things,that:
"(a) The lack of certainty in the approval of development projects can result
in a waste of resources, escalate the cost of housing and other
development to the consumer, and discourage investment in and
commitment to comprehensive planning which would make maximum
efficient utilization of resources at the least economic cost to the public.
(b) Assurance to the applicant for a development project that upon
approval of the project, the applicant may proceed with the project in
accordance with existing policies,rules and regulations, and subject to
conditions of approval, will strengthen the public planning process,
encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce
the economic costs of development."
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 City, and the
2
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
development and completion of the Project as defined by and in accordance with the DDA. This
Agreement will further comprehensive planning objectives contained within the City's General
Plan,which are:
1. "Provide an adequate supply of housing to meet the need for a variety of
housing types and the diverse socio-economic needs of all community residents."
(Housing Element("HE") Goal 1)
2. "Promote the construction of additional dwelling units to accommodate
Tustin's share of regional housing needs identified by the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG), in accordance with adopted land use
policies." (HE Policy 1.1)
3. "Pursue smart growth principles by supporting the construction of higher
density housing, affordable housing, and mixed-use development(the vertical and
horizontal integration of commercial and residential uses) in proximity to transit,
services, shopping, schools, and senior centers and recreational facilities, where
possible." (HE Policy 1.2)
4. "Continue to implement best practices for developer selection, project
underwriting and due diligence for affordable housing developments that receive
financial and other assistance to ensure long-term viability of affordable housing
and to ensure the maximized leverage of local resources." (HE Policy 1.3)
5. "Utilize various resources, where feasible, to assist in creating
opportunities which will expand opportunities for development of affordable
housing in the community." (HE Policy 1.7)
6. "Encourage the availability of affordable housing for special needs
households, including large, low-income families. Special needs households
include the elderly, large families, female-headed households with children,
households with a disabled person, and the homeless." (HE Policy 1.11)
E. The DDA and the development of the Project under the DDA require a substantial
early investment of money and planning and design effort by Operator. 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 discourage
Operator's participation in the development of short-term housing as provided in the DDA.
Operator's participation in the implementation of the DDA will result in a number of public
benefits. These benefits require the cooperation and participation of City and Operator and could
not be secured without cooperation in and commitment to the comprehensive planning effort that
has resulted in the DDA.
F. Operator wishes to avoid certain development risks and uncertainties that would,
in the absence of this Agreement, deter and discourage Operator from making a commitment to
implement the DDA. These are as follows:
3
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
1. It is generally the law in California that, absent extraordinary
circumstances or the approval of a vesting subdivision map, an owner
of the 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 pursuant to that permit. The result is a
disincentive for landowners to invest monies in the early completion of
public improvements as part of any project or in early comprehensive
planning and design studies.
2. Development under the DDA requires a substantial early investment of
money and planning and design effort by Operator. Uncertainty about
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 Operator to offset or remove the
disincentives and uncertainties set forth in Paragraph F above:
1. Assurance to Operator that, in return for Operator's commitment to the
development of the Site that is contained in the DDA, any approved
entitlements, City will in turn remain committed to the DDA;
2. Assurances to Operator that as Operator becomes obligated for the costs
of designing and constructing any public and private improvements
included in the DDA, Operator will become entitled to complete the
Proj ect; and
3. Assurances to Operator that in City's administration of the DDA,
Operator will be allowed, consistent with the DDA, to develop the
housing identified in the DDA. These assurances provide for
cooperation and participation of City and Operator and could not be
secured without mutual cooperation in and commitment to the
comprehensive planning effort that has resulted in the DDA.
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 Operator to secure the Public Benefits as described in Section 3.1, and Operator wishes to
enter into a development agreement with City to avoid the development risks and uncertainties
and to obtain the assurances for the development of the Project under the DDA.
1. This Agreement is intended to be, and shall be construed as, a development
agreement within the meaning of the Development Agreement Statutes. This Agreement is
intended to augment and further the purposes and intent of the parties in the implementation of
the DDA. This Agreement, as a device for the implementation of the DDA, will eliminate
uncertainty in planning for and secure the orderly development of the Project, ensure a desirable
and functional community environment, provide effective and efficient development of facilities
4
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
and services appropriate for the development of the Project, assure attainment of the maximum
effective utilization of resources within City, and provide other significant public benefits to City
and its residents by otherwise achieving the goals and purposes of the Development Agreement
Statutes. In exchange for these benefits to City, Operator desires to receive the assurance that it
may proceed with development of the Project in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement,the DDA and Existing Land Use Regulations,all as more particularly set forth herein.
J. City has determined that this Agreement and the Project are consistent with the
City's General Plan, and as the same maybe further amended from time to time, and that the
Development Agreement complies with the findings established by Tustin City Code Section
9611 in that the Agreement:
1. Is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and
programs specified in the General Plan.
2. Is compatible with the uses authorized in the district in which the real
property is located.
3. Is in conformity with the public necessity, public convenience, general
welfare, and good land use practices.
4. Will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare.
5. Will not adversely affect the orderly development of subject property.
6. Will not have a negative fiscal impact on the City.
K. On , 2020, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this
Agreement, made certain findings and determinations with respect thereto, and recommended to
the City Council of City that this Agreement be approved. On ,the City Council
held a public hearing on this Agreement, considered the recommendations of the Planning

request and the Planning Commission's recommendation on the matter. At the conclusion of the
public hearing, the City Council may approve, deny, or conditionally approve the amendment.

however, that in the case of amendments affecting portions of the Project, only the consent of the
owner of such portion shall be required so long as the amendment does not diminish the rights
appurtenant to or increase the burdens upon any other portion of the Project or Site. Any
amendment of City land use regulations including, but not limited to,the General Plan, or City's
zoning ordinance, shall not require amendment of this Agreement. Instead, any such amendment

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT SITE.
3.1. Public Benefits. This Agreement provides assurances that local and regional
"Public Benefits"will be achieved and developed in accordance with the Entitlement Approvals
and the terms of the DDA and this Agreement, subject to the City's Reservation of Authority
(Section 3.10). The Project's Public Benefits, include without limitation, providing a safe and
stable housing environment for short-term transitional housing for homeless families by building
a new, approximately 8,098 square-foot apartment-style multi-unit housing complex [i.e.,2 three-
bedroom, 4 two-bedroom and 1 one-bedroom units] expecting to serve 30 families each year with
transitional housing and via an on-site resource center,serve an additional 20 families each month
with a wide range of support services and programs, including career development, case
management, education, budgeting and credit repair, all intended to mitigate long-term
homelessness in the City and reduce stress on other City and community resources. Additional
Public Benefits shall accrue to the City as the Project shall be only accessible to certain qualified
families, which shall exclude the Project from being used as an emergency shelter for the
homeless, and wherein preference for residing at the Project shall be given to families with
defined ties and connections to the City of Tustin Such affordability and other restrictions,
qualifications and operations of the Project are imposed by the DDA and Declaration of
Covenants for at least 55-years starting from the date of when a Certificate of Occupancy by the
City is issued for the Project.
3.2. Operator Objectives. In accordance with the legislative findings set forth in
Government Code Section 65864, the Operator wishes to obtain reasonable assurances that the
Project may be developed in accordance with the Applicable Rules and project approvals and
with the terms of this Agreement and subject to the City's Reservation of Authority. As part of
the Project's development, and as provided by Section 3.5, Operator anticipates making capital
expenditures or causing capital expenditures to be made in reliance upon the DDA and this
Agreement. In the absence of this Agreement, Operator would have no assurance that it can
complete the Project for the uses and to the density and intensity of development set forth in this
12
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
Agreement and the Existing Entitlement Approvals. This Agreement, therefore, is necessary to
assure Operator that the Project will not be(1)reduced or otherwise modified in density,intensity
or use from what is set forth in the Existing Entitlement Approvals, (2) subjected to new rules,
regulations, ordinances or official policies or plans which are not adopted or approved pursuant
to the City's Reservation of Authority.
3.3. Mutual Objectives.Development of the Project in accordance with this Agreement
will provide for the orderly development of the Site in accordance with the objectives set forth in
the General Plan. Moreover, a development agreement for the Project will eliminate uncertainty
in planning for and securing orderly development of the Site, assure installation of necessary
improvements, assure attainment of maximum efficient resource utilization within the City at the
least economic cost to its citizens and otherwise achieve the goals and purposes established by
Government Code Section 65864. The Parties believe that such orderly development of the
Project will provide Public Benefits, as described in Section 3.1, to the City through the
imposition of development standards and requirements under the provisions and conditions of
this Agreement.
Additionally,although development of the Project in accordance with this Agreement will
restrain the City's land use or other relevant police powers,this Agreement provides the City with
sufficient reserved powers during the Term hereof to remain responsible and accountable to its
residents. In exchange for these and other benefits to City, the Operator will receive assurance
that the Project may be developed during the Term of this Agreement in accordance with the
Applicable Rules, project approvals and Reservation of Authority, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
3.4. Applicability of the Agreement. This Agreement does not: (1) grant density or
intensity in excess of that otherwise established in the Existing Entitlement Approvals; (2)
eliminate future discretionary actions relating to the Project if applications requiring such
discretionary action are initiated and submitted by the Operator regarding the Site after the
Effective Date of this Agreement; (3) guarantee that Operator will receive any profits from the
Project; or(4) amend the DDA or the City's General Plan.
3.5. Agreement and Assurances on the Part of the Operator. In consideration for the
City entering into this Agreement, and as an inducement for the City being obligated to carry out
the covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and to effectuate the promises,purposes,
and intentions set forth in this Agreement, Operator hereby agrees that it will use commercially
reasonable efforts, in accordance with its own business judgment and considering market
conditions and economic considerations, to undertake any development of the Project in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the DDA,this Agreement, and Existing Entitlement
Approvals. In addition to the forgoing obligations and the development assurances provided by
this Agreement, the Project will result in Operator's performance of and providing as
consideration to the City the following:
(a) Construction of a 7-unit residential apartment building for use as transitional
housing for homeless families with direct ties to the City and provision of
13
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
associated social services consistent with the DDA, this Agreement, and
Project approvals;
(b) Construction of all vertical, horizontal, and other improvements identified in
the DDA;
(c) Compliance with the DDA, Tustin City Code, state and federal law, required
mitigation measures, and all conditions of approval; and
(d) Payment of all required development related fees.
3.6. Agreement and Assurances on the Part of the City. In consideration for Operator
entering into this Agreement, and as an inducement for Operator to obligate itself to carry out the
covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and to effectuate the purpose of this
Agreement,the City hereby agrees as follows:
3.6.1. Vested Right to Development. To the maximum extent permitted bylaw,
Operator has the Vested Right to develop the Project subject to the terms and conditions of the
DDA, this Agreement, Tustin City Code, state and federal law, and Entitlement Approvals
pursuant to the City's Reservation of Authority. Other than as expressly set forth herein, during
the Term of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of development applicable to the Site,
including but not limited to, the permitted uses of the Site, the density and intensity of use,
maximum height and size of any proposed buildings, the design, improvement and construction
standards and specifications applicable to the development of the Site, including any changes
authorized pursuant to this Section 3.6.1, shall be those set forth in the DDA, Existing Land Use
Regulations, and Entitlement Approvals. In connection therewith and subject to the terms of this
Agreement including the Reservations of Authority, Operator shall have the Vested Right to: (1)
carry out and develop the Site in accordance with the DDA, Existing Land Use Regulations,
Entitlement Approvals and the provisions of this Agreement; (2) to receive from City all future
entitlement approvals for the Project that City finds are consistent with and implement the DDA,
Existing Land Use Regulations,Entitlement Approvals and this Agreement, and(3)not have any
Entitlement Approvals conditioned or delayed for reasons inconsistent with the DDA, Existing
Land Use Regulations, Entitlement Approvals or this Agreement.
3.6.2. Future Rules Impacting Development. To the extent any changes in the
Existing Land Use Regulations, or any provisions of future General Plans, Specific Plans,Zoning
Ordinances or other rules, regulations, ordinances or policies (whether adopted by means of
ordinance,initiative,referenda,resolution,policy, order,moratorium, or other means, adopted by
the City Council, Planning Commission, or any other board, commission, agency, committee, or
department of City, or any of its officers or employees thereof, or by the electorate) (collectively,
"Future Rules") are not in conflict with the Vested Right, such Future Rules shall be applicable
to the Project. For purposes of this Section 3.6.2, the word "conflict" means Future Rules that
would (i) alter the Vested Right, or (ii) frustrate in a more than insignificant way the intent or
purpose of the Vested Right in relation to the Project, or (iii) materially increase the cost of
performance of, or preclude compliance with, any provision of the Vested Right, or(iv) delay in
a more than insignificant way development of the Project, or (v) limit or restrict the availability
of public utilities, services,infrastructure of facilities (for example, but not by way of limitation,
14
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
water rights,water connection or sewage capacity rights, sewer connections, etc.) to the Project,
or(vi) impose limits or controls in the rate, timing,phasing or sequencing of development of the
Project. To the extent that Future Rules conflict with any Vested Right,they shall not apply to the
Project and the Vested Right shall apply to the Project.
3.6.3. Availability of Public Services. To the maximum extent permitted by law
and consistent with its authority, City shall assist Operator in reserving such capacity for sewer
and water services as may be necessary to serve the Project.
3.7 DDA and Existing Land Use Regulations Control Development. Except as
otherwise provided under the terms of this Agreement, including the Reservations of Authority
(and notwithstanding any future action of City or its citizens, whether by ordinance, resolution,
initiative or otherwise), the rules, regulations, and official policies governing the Project,
including,without limitation,the permitted uses of the Site,the density and intensity of use of the
Site, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, the design, improvement and
construction standards and specifications applicable to the Project, including any changes
authorized pursuant to Sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.2, the subdivision of land and requirements for
infrastructure and public improvements, and other terms and conditions of the Project, shall be
the DDA,Existing Land Use Regulations,and the provisions of this Agreement. City shall accept
for processing and review and act on all applications for Subsequent Entitlement Approvals as
provided in Section 3.9 below.
3.8. Timing of Development. The timing of development will be as set forth in the
DDA. Since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo
(1984) 37 Cal. 3d 465, that the failure of the Parties therein to provide for the timing of
development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail
over such Parties' agreement, it is the Parties' intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging
and providing that Operator will adhere to the terms of the DDA regarding the timing of
development.
3.9. Changes and Amendments to Entitlements. The Parties acknowledge that
refinement and further development of the Project will require Subsequent Entitlement Approvals
and may also demonstrate that changes are appropriate and mutually desirable in the Existing
Entitlement Approvals.
3.9.1 Subsequent Entitlement Approvals. By approving the Entitlement
Approvals, City has made a policy decision that the Project is in the best interests of the public
health,safety and general welfare. In connection with any Subsequent Entitlement Approval,City
shall exercise discretion in accordance with the same manner as it exercises its discretion under
its police powers,including the Reservations of Authority;provided however,that such discretion
shall not prevent development of the Project as set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, City
shall not use its discretionary authority in considering any application for a Subsequent Approval,
including,but not limited to,the City's administrative consideration of design review,conditional
use permits, and subdivision maps, for the Site to change the policy decisions reflected by the
Entitlement Approvals or otherwise to prevent or delay development of the Project as set forth in
the Entitlement Approvals. Instead, the Subsequent Approvals shall be deemed to be tools to
15
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
implement those final policy decisions and shall be issued by City so long as they comply with
this Agreement and any Applicable Rules and are not inconsistent with the Entitlement Approvals
as set forth above.
3.9.2 Existing Entitlement Approval Amendment. In the event Operator finds
that a change in the Existing Entitlement Approvals is necessary or appropriate, Operator shall
apply for a Subsequent Entitlement Approval to effectuate such change and City shall process
and act on such application in accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations, except as
otherwise provided by this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority. If approved, any
such change in the Existing Entitlement Approvals shall be incorporated herein by reference as
though fully set forth, shall thereafter be deemed to be an Existing Entitlement Approval for all
purposes of this Agreement and may be further changed from time to time as provided in this
Section 3.9.
3.9.3 Minor Changes and Amendments. Unless otherwise required by law, a
change to the Existing Entitlement Approvals requested by Operator, or an approved assignee,
may be determined to be "minor" in the exercise of City's reasonable discretion and therefore,
shall not require an amendment to this Agreement. In an instance when City has reasonably
determined that a proposed change to the Existing Entitlement Approvals constitutes a minor
change pursuant to this Section 3.9, City and Operator shall cooperate to ensure the preparation
of any environmental analysis deemed appropriate and necessary pursuant to CEQA.
3.10. Reservations of Authority.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary,the laws, rules,regulations and official policies set forth in this Section 3.10 shall
apply to and govern development of the Site and Project to the extent set forth herein.
3.10.1 Consistent Future City Regulations. City ordinances, resolutions, and official
policies, including initiative measures, adopted or approved after the Effective Date pursuant to
procedures provided by law which are applied on a City-wide basis ("New City Laws") shall
apply to and govern development of the Site and Project,provided that any New City Laws which
reduce the density or intensity of the Project below that permitted by the Existing Land Use
Regulations,the Existing Entitlement Approvals, or the DDA, alter the permitted uses of the Site,
reduce the maximum height or size of any permitted buildings, impose additional obligations in
connection with the reservation or dedication of land for public purposes beyond the requirements
identified in the DDA, or limit the rate, timing, or sequencing of development of the Site from
that required in the DDA or in any Entitlement Approvals, shall be deemed inconsistent with this
Agreement and shall not be applicable to the development of the Site and Project.
3.10.2 Overriding State and Federal Laws. City shall not be precluded from
adopting and applying New City Laws to the Project and development of the Project to the extent
that such New City Laws are required to be applied by State or Federal laws or regulations and
which would override Operator's Vested Rights as set forth in this Agreement,provided however,
that(i)Operator does not waive its right to challenge or contest the validity of such State,Federal,
or New City Laws or regulation; and (ii) such New City Law shall only be applied to the Project
and development of the Project to the extent necessary to comply with such new State or Federal
law or regulation. In the event that such State or Federal law or regulation (or New City Laws
16
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
undertaken pursuant thereto) prevents or precludes substantial compliance with one or more
provisions of the DDA, the Existing Land Use Regulations or this Agreement, the Parties agree
to consider in good faith amending or suspending such provisions of this Agreement as may be
necessary to comply with such State or Federal laws (or New City Laws), provided that no Party
shall be bound to approve any amendment to this Agreement unless this Agreement is amended
in accordance with the procedures applicable to the adoption of development agreements as set
forth in the Development Agreement Statute and Tustin City Code and each Party retains full
discretion with respect thereto.
3.10.3 Public Health and Safety. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the
City Council of the City from adopting and applying New City Laws which the City Council of
the City finds are reasonably necessary to protect persons on the Site or in the immediate
community, or both, from conditions dangerous to their health or safety notwithstanding that the
applications of such New City Laws, or other similar limitation would result in the impairment of
Operator's Vested Rights under the Agreement or the Existing Land Use Regulations. In
determining whether any such New City Laws are reasonably necessary to protect persons as set
forth above, the City Council shall make findings, based on evidence presented to and accepted
by the City Council that the changes are reasonably necessary to protect the public health or
safety. The provisions of this Section 3.10.3 do not apply to any measure adopted by initiative.
3.10.4 Uniform Construction Codes and Regulations. Policies and rules
governing engineering and construction standards and specifications applicable to public and
private improvements,including all uniform codes adopted by City and any local amendments to
those codes adopted by City in the future shall apply to the Project and Site.
3.10.5 Police Power. The Parties acknowledge and agree that City cannot
contractually limit its own police power, its power to address actual or potential threats to public
health or safety, including but not limited to environmental regulations (including without
limitation NPDES) or its emergency authority or powers. The foregoing limitations,reservations,
and exceptions are intended to reserve to City all of its powers that cannot be limited. In all
respects not provided for in this Agreement, City shall retain full rights to exercise its police
powers to regulate development of the Project and Site. Any uses or development requiring a
concept plan, design review, tentative tract map, conditional use permit, variance, or other
Entitlement Approvals in accordance with Existing Land Use Regulations shall require a permit
or approval pursuant to this Agreement and notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein,
this Agreement is not intended to vest Operator's right to issuance of such permit or approval.
3.11. Processing.
3.11.1 Subsequent Entitlement Approvals. By approving the Entitlement
Approvals, City has made a final policy decision that the Project is in the best interests of the
public health, safety and general welfare. Accordingly, City shall not use its discretionary
authority in considering any application for a Subsequent Entitlement Approval, including, but
not limited to, the City's administrative consideration of, design review, conditional use permits
and subdivision maps, within the Project Site to change the policy decisions reflected by the
Entitlement Approvals or otherwise to prevent or delay development of the Project as set forth in
17
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
the Entitlement Approvals. Instead,the Subsequent Entitlement Approvals shall be deemed to be
tools to implement those final policy decisions and shall be issued by City so long as they comply
with this Agreement and Applicable Rules and are not inconsistent with the Entitlement
Approvals as set forth above. City shall employ all lawful actions capable of being undertaken by
City to promptly (i) accept all complete applications for Subsequent Entitlement Approvals
(collectively, "Applications") and (ii) process and take action upon Applications in accordance
with Applicable Rules with a goal of completing the review within time frames identified in the
DDA; provided however, that City shall not be deemed in default under this Agreement should
such time frame(s)not be met. To the extent that Operator desires that City plan check or process
an Application on an expedited basis and to the extent that it requires an additional expense
beyond the customary expense applicable to the general public, City shall inform Operator of
such additional expense, including the cost of overtime and private consultants and other third-
parties. If acceptable to Operator, Operator shall pay the additional cost and City shall use best
efforts to undertake the most accelerated processing time as lawfully possible utilizing overtime
and the services of private consultants and third parties to the extent available. Upon the written
request of Operator, City shall inform Operator of the necessary application requirements for any
requested City approval or requirement relating to the Project. City may deny an application for
a Subsequent Entitlement Approval only if such application does not comply with the DDA,this
Agreement or Existing Land Use Regulations or is materially inconsistent with the Existing
Entitlement Approvals.
3.11.2 Filings. Operator shall exercise reasonable efforts to file applications for
permits and Entitlement Approvals within the time frames and schedules as generally outlined in
the DDA and shall exercise reasonable efforts to attempt to obtain permits and Entitlement
Approvals within the time frames identified in the DDA; provided, however, that failure solely
to comply with such time frame(s) shall not be deemed to be a default under this Agreement.
3.11.3 Cooperation. City and Operator shall cooperate in processing all
Applications for permits and approvals for the Project,provided,however,that such cooperation
shall not include any obligation of City to incur any un-reimbursed expense, and City shall be
entitled, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the DDA and Operator's rights hereunder, to
exercise all discretion to which it is entitled by law in processing and issuing any permits and
approvals for the Project.
3.11.4 Approvals. Notwithstanding any administrative or judicial proceedings,
initiative or referendum concerning any of the Entitlement Approvals, City shall process
applications for permits and approvals as provided herein to the fullest extent allowed by law and
Operator may proceed with development of the Project pursuant to the DDA, Existing Land Use
Regulations, and Entitlement Approvals to the fullest extent allowed by law.
3.12. Infrastructure and Public Facilities. If so required for the Project, construction of
infrastructure and public facilities will be as set forth in the DDA, inclusive of the Entitlement
Approvals (i.e.,public sidewalk).
3.13. Dedications. Operator and City acknowledge Operator will not be required to
dedicate any land to City or other public agencies.
18
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
3.14. Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the Parties that other
public agencies not within the control of City may possess authority to regulate aspects of the
Project and development of the Site separately from or jointly with City and this Agreement does
not limit the authority of such other public agencies. City agrees to cooperate fully, at no out of
pocket cost to City, with Operator in obtaining any required permits or compliance with the
regulations of other public agencies provided such cooperation is not in conflict with any laws,
regulations or policies of City.
4. ANNUAL REVIEW.
4.1 Timing and Annual Review. The Tustin City Council shall review Operator's
performance under this Agreement at least every twelve(12)months from the Effective Date until
expiration of the Agreement. In connection with the review,both the City and Operator shall have
a reasonable opportunity to assert matters which either believes have not been undertaken in
accordance with this Agreement, to explain the basis for such assertion, and to receive from the
other party a justification of its position on such matters.
4.2. Review Procedure. City shall provide notice to Operator and deliver to Operator,
or its Successor-in-Interest, a copy of all public staff reports, documents and related exhibits
concerning City's review of Operator's performance hereunder at least thirty (30) days prior to
any date proposed for City Council review of performance under the Agreement.
4.2.1 Operator or its Successor-in-Interest shall demonstrate good faith
compliance with the terms of this Agreement and shall furnish evidence of good faith compliance,
as City, in its reasonable exercise of its discretion, may require. Evidence of good faith
compliance may include the following:
(a) conformance with the DDA and its scope of development and schedule
of performance;
(b) conformance with conditions of approvals of Design Review and
Density Bonus applications; and
(c) conformance with provisions of this Agreement identified by the City.
4.2.2 Operator or its Successor-in-Interest shall have the opportunity to respond
to City's evaluation of Operator's performance, either orally or in a written statement, at
Operator's election.
4.2.3 The City Council may refer the matter to the Planning Commission for
further proceedings or for a report and recommendation.
4.3. Notice of Non-Compliance. If on the basis of the annual review, the City
determines, based upon substantial evidence, 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 therefore and all facts demonstrating 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-compliance has been cured (or is diligently being
19
1485898.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:2FOF8BA6-EBF3-4OE5-A3A3-91 135F91 F56F3
cured) or the grounds upon which it believes that it is complying with this Agreement. The time
frame to respond to a 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-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 Operator, the City may commence proceedings on
termination or modification of the Agreement pursuant to the Tustin City Code and this
Agreement, including Section 4.4. If the Party receiving a Notice of Non-Compliance responds
within the time period provided above,the 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 matters) 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 acceptable 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 and 9618 of the Tustin City Code and
Section 4.4 of this Agreement.
4.4. Modification or Termination. 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 4.3 of this Agreement, the City Council shall give notice to Operator
or Successor-in-Interest thereto of its intention to do so.The notice of modification or termination
shall contain all the information required by Tustin City Code Section 9618.At the time and place
set for the hearing on modification or termination, the City Council may refer the matter back to
the Planning Commission for further proceedings or for a 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 Operator's compliance with the terms
of this Agreement. The decision of the City Council shall be final, subject only to judicial review
pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5(b).
4.5. Certificate of Agreement Compliance. If, at the conclusion of a periodic review,
Operator is found to be in compliance with this Agreement, City shall, upon request of the
Operator, issue a Certificate of Review Compliance to Operator stating that after the most recent
periodic review and based upon the information known or made known to the City Council that:
(1)this Agreement remains in effect, and(2) Operator is not in default. The Certificate of Review
Compliance shall be in recordable form, shall contain information necessary to communicate
constructive record notice of the finding of compliance, and shall state the anticipated date of
commencement of the next periodic review. Operator may record the Certificate of Review
Compliance with the County Recorder.
5. DEFAULT,REMEDIES,AND TERMINATION.
5.1. Default Procedure. In addition to procedures identified in Section 4.3 and/or 4.4
of this Agreement, a non-defaulting Party(the"Non-Defaulting Party")at its discretion may elect
to declare a default under this Agreement in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth
for any failure or breach of any other Party ("Defaulting Party") to perform any material duty or

(c) promptly commences to cure the default within the thirty (30) day period;
(d) makes periodic written reports to the Non-Defaulting Party on the progress of
the program of cure, and:
(e) diligently prosecutes such cure to completion,

5.2. Default Remedies. After complying with Section 5.1, in the event of an uncured
default, the Non-Defaulting Party, at its option, may institute legal action to cure, correct, or
remedy such default, enjoin any threatened or attempted violation, enforce the terms of this

Section 5.2, in the event of a material default by Operator, may give notice of its intent to
terminate or modify this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4, in which event the matter shall be

controversy, or issues regarding the application or effect of the Existing Land Use Regulations,
or any Development Permits or Entitlement Approvals sought in connection with development or
use of the Property or Project, or any portion thereof. Operator acknowledges that the City would
not have entered into this Agreement if the City could be held liable for general, special, or
compensatory damages for any default or breach arising out of this Agreement and that Operator
has adequate remedies other than general, special, or compensatory damages,to secure the City's
compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, Operator agrees that the City,
its officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any general, special or compensatory
damages and that this section shall apply to any successor, assignee or transferee of the Operator.
5.4. Third Party Legal Challenges. In the event of any legal action instituted by a third

Regulations, or Development Plan unless such amendment or modification is approved by the
City in accordance with applicable legal requirements, and City reserves its full legislative
discretion with respect thereto. City shall not incur any costs or take any actions to defend such
Third-Party Challenge without Operator's approval. Operator shall also indemnify and hold
