E. Design Review. Pursuant to the RHASP and Section 9272 of the Tustin
City Code (TCC), Sections 6.7.1 A, B and Section 4.4.3 (16) of the
RHASP the City Council finds that the location, size, architectural
features, and general appearance of the proposed development will not
impair the orderly and harmonious development of the area, the present
or future development therein, the occupancy thereof, or the community
as a whole. In making such findings, the City Council has considered at
least the following items:
Findings Per Tustin City Code Section 9272:
1. Height, bulk, and area of buildings. The height and bulk
of the proposed project is appropriate in size and scale
with surrounding buildings in that the proposed height for
Buildings A, B and C along Red Hill Avenue will be four
stories and 50-feet overall with the exception of three
elevator towers and respective roof parapets that
surrounds the top of each building. With these projections
Resolution 21-67
Page 2 of 17
DocuSign Envelope ID:6C9AABE1-B035-45D3-9CAB-1 DOE3DCCA296
the buildings will range in height from 53'-4" to 59'0".
Buildings D1, D2 and D3 located at the rear of the project
site will be 36-feet in height inclusive of architectural
projections. The project is appropriately scaled,
consistent with the RHASP and relates to and respects
adjacent development in the surrounding area.
2. Setbacks and site planning. The proposed project
balances both retail commercial and residential uses
through quality site design, visually interesting facades
and will include public improvements that are
complimentary to the project and will serve as an
enhancement to the surrounding area. The project
meets or exceeds the required setbacks in the front,
side, street side and rear as stated in the RHASP and
provides pedestrian accessible amenities adjacent to
the street that allow for additional pedestrian activities.
Step-backs on the upper levels of the project provide
additional articulation to the building facade and add
visual interest while breaking up the overall bulk and
massing of the building as viewed from the street.
Associated project features such as at-grade, on-site
parking, interior courtyards, enhanced pedestrian
plazas, landscaping, and expanded pedestrian
walkways and other amenities serve to enhance the
overall appearance and experience of the project.
3. Exterior materials and colors. The use of related
colors, architectural details and varying but
complimentary materials such as porcelain tile, stucco,
smooth lap siding, board & batten siding, aluminum
storefronts, metal awnings with translucent panels, and
frameless glass and metal railings further enhance the
design and provides a sense of place.
4. Type and pitch of roofs. The project incorporates
varying roof forms and has a relatively flat pitch which
contributes to the contemporary architectural style. All
of the project roofs contain parapet screening for roof
top equipment and will allow for future photovoltaic
installations. The roof area of Building B will contain a
well-integrated 1 ,817 square foot roof deck amenity
area for the project.
Resolution 21-67

DocuSign Envelope ID:6C9AABE1-B035-45D3-9CAB-1 DOE3DCCA296
5. Size and spacing of windows, doors, and other
openings. The project design is both cohesive and
varying with respect to architectural style, architectural
details, windows, doors, colors, and materials which is
consistent with the main design objectives within the
RHASP. The proposed spacing of windows, doors and
other openings are appropriate and scaled and placed
within the front, side and rear elevations of the building.
6. Towers, chimneys, roof structures, flagpoles, radio
and television antennae. Three (3) proposed towers
within the project will contain elevator equipment within
each of the four (4) story main buildings fronting along
Red Hill Avenue (i.e. Buildings A, B and C). Each tower
will measure 59'-0" at the highest point which is allowed
subject to design review. The towers add a
complimentary, but dramatic architectural element to the
design and identity of the project.
7. Location, height, and standards of exterior
illumination. As conditioned, the project will comply with
site illumination standards and confine lighting to the
property.
8. Landscaping, parking area design, and traffic
circulation. The project incorporates a combination of
drought-tolerant landscaping that is complimentary to the
overall architecture, site layout and courtyards and plazas
amongst all of the buildings within the project.
Landscaping proposed along Red Hill Avenue and San
Juan Street will act as a buffer between pedestrian activity
and the adjacent streets and provide screening for
required ground-mounted equipment.
9. Location and appearance of equipment located
outside an enclosed structure. As proposed and
conditioned, roof mounted and/or ground mounted
equipment shall be screened with either roof parapets
that are integral and compatible with the buildings'
architecture and/or designated landscaping.
10. Location and method of refuse storage. As
conditioned, the project will comply with refuse storage
and other waste requirements and standards.

11.Physical relationship of proposed structures to
existing structures in the neighborhood. Refer to
finding #12.
12.Appearance and design relationship of proposed
structures to existing structures and possible future
structures in the neighborhood and public
thoroughfares. The project implements the overall
vision of the RHASP in that it provides enhanced
streetscape improvements and incorporates public
plaza areas with pedestrian amenities fronting Red Hill
Avenue and San Juan Street. The project is comprised
of a total of six (6) buildings, each within the maximum
allowable height and each with articulation, undulations
and step-backs on the upper levels which reduces the
appearance of uniform massing. The project
incorporates a complimentary blend of high-quality
building materials and varying roof forms which adds to
the visual interest and identity of the project. The
surrounding area to the project site is a combination of
one-, two- and three-story buildings with single-family,
multiple-family and/or commercial uses. The three (3)
tallest buildings are situated along Red Hill Avenue,
while the three (3) shorter buildings are located at the
rear of the site and adjacent to the Tustin High School
which is reflective of the surrounding residential
neighborhood and future mixed use and/or commercial
use along Red Hill Avenue. As proposed, 6 of the 10
flexible format retail units (i.e. live-work units) are
situated closest to San Juan Street which will serve as
a buffer from the adjacent and existing single-family and
multiple-family residential uses and the commercial
components of the project.
13. Proposed signage. As conditioned, the project will
comply with signage requirements contained within the
Tustin City Code and RHASP.
14.Development Guidelines and criteria as adopted by
the City Council. The project complies with Design
Criteria contained within Chapter 5 of the adopted
RHASP as indicated in findings 1-6, 8 and 12.

Findings for All New Development Projects per RHASP
Sections 6.7.1 A:
15.The development is consistent with the overall
vision, goals, and intent of the RHASP. The proposed
project is a mix of residential and commercial retail uses
which is consistent with the goals of the Red Hill Avenue
Specific Plan (RHASP). The combination of uses will
foster economic development and support housing
opportunities within the area which has not experienced
any significant commercial or residential development
for some time. The 7,000 square feet of retail
commercial uses on the ground level, the flexible format
retail units and the 137 residential units above to
commercial component provides an extension of the
existing commercial uses to the south and east. Project
is also compatible and sensitive to existing residential to
the north and northeast of the project site.
16.The development is consistent with the policies and
intent of the Development Plan (RHASP Chapter 3),
including the Urban Design plan (RHASP Section
3.4). The project provides a complimentary mix of
commercial and retail uses in an integrated, pedestrian-
friendly environment. The mixed-use concept in the
RHASP is intended to expand and enhance commercial
opportunities to serve a primarily local customer base.
As proposed, the project furthers this intent and will
physically and functionally integrate land uses in a
manner that will be complimentary to existing uses in
the surrounding area. Proposed streetscape
improvements including expanded amenity areas,
landscaped medians and parkways along with a Class
II bike lane within the public right-of-way along Red Hill
Avenue will further the intent of the urban design plan
within the RHASP. Gateway signage proposed at San
Juan Street and Red Hill Avenue will facilitate to the
creation of a distinct sense of place which is lacking
within the area.
17.The Project, including the proposed uses and
requested entitlements, comply with the Permitted
Land Use and Activities Table (RHASP Table 4.1)

within the mixed-use section of the RHASP. No
modifications are proposed. Refer to findings 1-6, 8 and
12.
20.Compliance or modification thereto with applicable
Development Standards and Design Criteria is
demonstrated and ensured through Design Review
of the project site plan, building elevations, floor
plan, parking plan, landscaping plan, lighting plan,
access plans, refuse plans, and any other
applicable plan(s) or document(s). Through design
review during the Residential Allocation Reservation

Section 2. Density Bonus and Waivers of Development Standards. As set forth in
the Conditions of Approval and the Density Bonus Law,Developer petitioned for and was granted
the following waivers as part of the City's approval of the Project:
(i) Densi . Bonus. By providing six (6) Affordable Units reserved for Very
Low Income Households (5% of 114 base residential units), the Density Bonus Law and the
Conditions of Approval permit the Developer to develop the Site with an additional density of
twenty (20) percent (or, 23 additional units), for a Project total of 137 total residential units, and
commercial space as provided in the RHASP for a Mixed-use project, RAR, Design Review, and
Development Agreement.
(ii) Reduction in Parking. Tustin City Code Section 9263 requires a minimum
of two (2) covered parking spaces for each dwelling unit, plus one (1) assigned guest space for
every four (4) units constructed in connection with multifamily residential developments similar
to the Project. Upon a developer's request, section 65915(p) of the Density Bonus Law prohibits
the City from requiring more than the following parking ratios for a density bonus project: one(1)
onsite parking space for each studio to one-bedroom unit,and one and one-half(1.5)onsite parking
spaces for each two to three-bedroom units. The Project will provide 227onsite parking spaces for
its residential units (exclusive of parking allocated for retail tenants). An additional thirty (32)
onsite parking spaces allocated to retail tenants and leasing office will be available for guest
parking after business hours.
(iii) Open Space. The RHASP requires 100 square feet of private open space
per unit and 200 square feet of common open space per unit for mixed use developments. As
authorized under the Density Bonus Law, the City agrees to grant a waiver of this requirement.
The Project will provide 8,909 square feet of private and 20,268 square feet of common open space
per unit.
(iv) Park Fee Relief. As authorized Tustin City Code, in order to facilitate the
construction of the Affordable Units, the City Council shall waive the Developer's obligation to
pay park impact fees for the six Affordable Units.
Section 3. No Further Incentives or Waivers. Developer acknowledges and agrees
that the issuance of the density bonus, the reduction in parking spaces, the waiver of Open Space
requirements, and the waiver of the payment of park impact fees for the six Affordable Units set
forth in Section 2 are the only deviations from City rules and regulations which are needed in order
for the Affordable Units to be constructed.
Section 4. Workforce Housing Incentive Program In-Lieu Fee. Pursuant to Tustin
Municipal Code sections B9923(c) and B9932(b), prior to the issuance of any certificate of
occupancy for the Project, Developer shall pay to City an in-lieu fee totaling $737,922.00 (Seven
Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty Two Dollars), which is calculated by
multiplying the $12,946 voluntary housing incentive program in-lieu fee by 57 (one-half('/2) the
114 base units provided on-site).
Section 5. Affordable Units. Developer hereby agrees to make available, restrict
occupancy to, and rent the Affordable Units at the Project to Very Low Income Households at an
5
1589250.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:6C9AABE1-B035-45D3-9CAB-1 DOEMCCA296
Affordable Rent. The six (6) Affordable Units shall be "floating" units that are not permanently
designated; however, at no time shall all six (6) Affordable Units be congregated in a certain
section of the Project. The unit size of the Affordable Units shall range in size from approximately
515 to 1,000 square feet. The six (6) Affordable Units shall consist of studio, one-, and two-
bedroom units that are part of the Project. A minimum of one studio,three one-bedroom, and two
two-bedroom units shall be reserved and allocated at all times. In accordance with Tustin City
Code Section 9131(f), all Affordable Units shall be of similar design and appearance of the total
Proj ect.
(a) A person or family (i.e., a "tenant household") who qualifies as a
Very Low Income Household at the time he/she/it first occupies an Affordable Unit shall be
deemed to continue to be so qualified until such time as the annual recertification of such tenant
household's income in accordance with Section 14 below demonstrates that such tenant household
no longer qualifies as a Very Low Income Household. Moreover, a unit previously occupied by a
Very Low Income Household and then vacated shall be considered occupied by such Very Low
Income Household for a temporary period until reoccupied, at which time the character of the unit
shall be re-determined. In no event shall such temporary period exceed thirty-one(3 1)days,unless
there has been damage to the Affordable Unit or other circumstances which requires greater than
31 days to correct and re-lease. In any such event,the Developer shall act in good faith and make
all commercially reasonable efforts to correct and release the Affordable Unit as quickly as
possible.
(b) At such time as a tenant household occupying an Affordable Unit
ceases to qualify as a Very Low Income Household, the unit occupied by such tenant household
shall cease to be an Affordable Unit. Once a Very Low Income Household tenant vacates an
Affordable Unit, Developer shall replace each such Affordable Unit by designating the next
available unit and any necessary units thereafter as an Affordable Unit. For purposes of this
Agreement, such designated unit will be considered an Affordable Unit if it is held vacant and
available for occupancy by a Very Low Income Household and, upon occupancy, the income
eligibility of the tenant household as a Very Low Income Household is verified (as established in
Section 14 of this Agreement) and the tenant household pays an Affordable Rent.
(c) In the event a tenant household occupying an Affordable Unit
initially qualifies as a Very Low Income Household but the income of such tenant household
increases, such increase shall not be deemed to result in a violation of the restrictions of this
Agreement concerning limitations upon income of occupants,provided that the occupancy by such
household is for a reasonable time of not to exceed one year(measured from the time the income
of the household ceases to qualify as a Very Low Income Household), at which time the Housing
Unit shall cease to be an Affordable Unit and the provisions of the immediately preceding
paragraph shall apply.
Section 6. Use of the Site. All uses conducted on the Site,including,without limitation,
all activities undertaken by the Developer pursuant to this Agreement, shall conform to all
applicable provisions of the Tustin City Code and other applicable federal, state, and local laws,
rules, and regulations. The Project shall at all times during the term of this Agreement be used as
a mixed-use development with 137 residential units and none of the Housing Units in the Project
shall at any time be utilized as a hotel, motel, dormitory, fraternity or sorority house, rooming
6
1589250.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:6C9AABE1-B035-45D3-9CAB-1 DOEMCCA296
house,hospital,nursing home,sanitarium or rest home,Notwithstanding the foregoing,Developer
shall not be obligated to insure that all of the Housing Units are occupied. All of the community
facilities and any social programs provided to the Project's residents shall be available at all times
on an equal, non-discriminatory basis to residents of all Housing Units at the Project.
Section 7. Duration of Affordability Requirements. The Affordable Units shall be
subject to the requirements of this Agreement throughout the entire Term of this Agreement.
Section 8. Construction of Affordable Units. The Affordable Units shall be
constructed and completed concurrently with the non-restricted Housing Units in the Project.
Section 9. Occupancy Limits. The maximum occupancy for each of the Housing Units
shall not exceed 1 persons per studio and two persons per bedroom, plus one, as set forth in the
Conditions of Approval.
Section 10. Maintenance. Developer shall maintain or cause to be maintained the
interior and exterior of the Project and the Site in a decent, safe and sanitary manner, and in
accordance with the standard of maintenance of first-class mixed use residential/commercial
complexes within Orange County. If at any time Developer fails to maintain the Project or the
Site in accordance with this Agreement and such condition is not corrected within five (5) days
after written notice from City with respect to graffiti,debris, and waste material, or thirty(30)days
after written notice from City with respect to general maintenance, landscaping and building
improvements, then City, in addition to whatever remedy it may have at law or at equity, shall
have the right to enter upon the applicable portion of the Project or the Site and perform all acts
and work necessary to protect,maintain, and preserve the Project and the Site, and to attach a lien
upon the Site, or to assess the Site, in the amount of the expenditures arising from such acts and
work of protection, maintenance, and preservation by City and/or costs of such cure, including a
reasonable administrative charge,which amount shall be promptly paid by Developer to City upon
demand. City shall provide twenty four (24) hours' written notice to Developer before entering
the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing,the City shall not avail itself of the remedies specified
in this Section if(i)the Project is damaged due to storms,fires or floods; or(ii)despite good faith
efforts Developer is unable to correct such conditions within the timeframes specified in this
Section due to the scope of damage, City shall provide Developer additional time to remedy such
conditions. In the case of such damage, Developer shall use good faith efforts to remedy such
damage as quickly as reasonably possible.
Section 11. Marketing Program. Each Affordable Unit shall be leased to Very Low
Income Households selected by Developer who meet all of the requirements provided herein. Prior
to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Project, Developer shall prepare and obtain
City's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, of a marketing program for
the leasing of the Housing Units at the Project ("Marketing Program"). The leasing of the
Affordable Units shall thereafter be marketed in accordance with the Marketing Program as the
same may be amended from time to time with City's prior written approval,which approval shall
not unreasonably be withheld. Developer shall provide City with periodic reports with respect to
the leasing of the Housing Units in accordance with Sections 14 and 15. City shall have thirty(30)
days to review and either approve or deny the Marketing Program. If the City fails to provide
7
1589250.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:6C9AABE1-B035-45D3-9CAB-1 DOE3DCCA296
Developer with City's approval or denial of the Marketing Program within this thirty day period,
the Marketing Program shall be deemed approved.
Section 12. Management Plan. Prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for
the Project, Developer shall submit for the reasonable approval of City a "Management Plan"
which sets forth in detail Developer's property management duties, a tenant selection process in
accordance with this Agreement, a security system and crime prevention program, the procedures
for the collection of rent, the procedures for eviction of tenants, the rules and regulations of the
Site and manner of enforcement, a standard lease form, an operating budget, the identity of the
professional property management company to be contracted with to provide property
management services at the Site ("Property Manager"), and other matters relevant to the
management of the Site. The Management Plan shall only govern management of the Affordable
Units and the Project common areas. The Management Plan shall require Developer to adhere to
a fair lease and grievance procedure, and the right for management to pursue every legal avenue
to evict a tenant for non-compliance with Rules and Regulations, drug use, disruptive behavior,
etc, or convicted of a crime. The management of the Site shall be in compliance with the
Management Plan as approved by City. City shall have thirty (30) days to review and either
approve or deny the Management Plan. If the City fails to provide Developer with City's approval
or denial of the Management Plan within this thirty day period, the Management Plan shall be
deemed approved. If City determines that the performance of the Property Manager, solely
regarding its management of the Affordable Units, is deficient based upon the standards set forth
in the approved Management Plan and in this Agreement, City shall provide written notice to
Developer of such deficiencies and Developer shall use its best efforts to correct such deficiencies.
In the event that such deficiencies have not been cured within the time set forth in Section 19
hereof, City shall have the right to require Developer to immediately remove and replace the
Property Manager with another property manager or property management company which is
reasonably acceptable to the City Manager,which is not related to or affiliated with Developer or
the City, and which has not less than five(5)years' experience in property management,including
significant experience managing housing facilities of the size, quality and scope of the Project.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, City's ability to replace the Property Manager shall only apply to
management of the Affordable Units; in no case shall City have any right to replace the Property
Manager for management of all non-Affordable Units.
Section 13. Selection of Tenants. Developer shall be responsible for the selection of
tenants for the Affordable Units in compliance with lawful and reasonable criteria and the
requirements of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by law, a reasonable preference in the
leasing of the Affordable Units shall be given to prospective tenants that live or work in the City.
In marketing and leasing the Affordable Units, Developer shall establish a priority system that
ensures that prospective rental applicants who are currently employed in or currently residing in
the City of Tustin have priority over an applicant that does not currently reside or is not employed
in the City of Tustin(hereinafter referred to as the "Local Preference Policy",adopted by the Tustin
City Council on November 6, 2007). To qualify for the Local Preference, Developer shall employ
the criterion that an applicant must demonstrate a minimum of six months of current employment
or current residency in Tustin. Developer shall refer to the Local Preference Policy for detailed
information required to be submitted by Developer for verification of residency and local
employment to ensure Developer's compliance with the Local Preference Policy. City shall have
8
1589250.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:6C9AABE1-B035-45D3-9CAB-1 DOE3DCCA296

Housing Units.

tenant(s) to execute a written lease and to complete a Tenant Income Verification Form (in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) certifying that the tenant(s) occupying the
Affordable Unit is/are a Very Low Income Household and otherwise meet(s) the eligibility

tenants of the Affordable Units. At City's request,Developer shall provide to City completed income
computation and certification forms for each household,in substantially the form of the Tenant Income
Certification Form attached hereto as Exhibit B or such other form as may reasonably be requested by
City, for any Very Low Income Households renting the Affordable Units at the Project. Developer
shall obtain,or shall cause to be obtained by the Property Manager,a certification from each household
leasing an Affordable Unit demonstrating that such household meets the applicable income
requirements and eligibility requirements established for a Very Low Income Household renting such
Affordable Unit.
(b) Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Developer shall annually
complete and submit to City a Certificate of Continuing Project Compliance in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C, or such other form as may reasonably be requested by City.

to enter the Site,upon at least thirty-six(36)hours' written notice to Developer and to the Property
Manager,to monitor compliance with this Agreement, and shall be entitled, at City's sole cost and

such records at a location within the City that is reasonably acceptable to the City Manager.

for such inspection or audit. Developer agrees to maintain each record of the Project for no less
than 2 years after creation of each such record.
Section 16. Indemnity. Developer shall, at its expense, defend(with counsel acceptable
to City and subject to approval by Developer), indemnify, and hold harmless City, and their
officers,agents,employees and representatives from any and all losses,liabilities,claims,lawsuits,

obligations under this Agreement, Developer's ownership or operation of the Site, or the
development of the Project, except for such liability arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of City.

Section 17. Agreement to be Recorded;Covenants Run with the Land;Priority. This
Agreement shall be recorded, prior to the issuance of building permits for the Project, in the
Official Records of Orange County, California, as senior, non-subordinate covenants and as an
encumbrance running with the land for the full Term of this Agreement. In no event shall this
Agreement be made junior or subordinate to any deed of trust or other documents providing
financing for the construction or operation of the Project, or any other lien or encumbrance
whatsoever for the entire Term of this Agreement. Nor shall this Agreement be made junior or
subordinate to any extension, amendment, or modification of any lien or encumbrance recorded
against the Site prior to the date hereof. Prior to recordation of this Agreement, Developer shall
provide City with evidence satisfactory to the City that all deeds of trust, liens, encumbrances, or
other documents recorded against the Site since , 2021, if any, have been or will
be subordinated to this Agreement, at Developer's sole cost and expense.
Section 18. Mortgage Protection. No breach or default under this Agreement shall
defeat, terminate, extinguish,render invalid or otherwise affect the lien of any junior mortgage or
deed of trust encumbering the Site,the Project, or any part thereof or interest therein.
Section 19. Default. An event of default occurs under this Agreement when: (a)there is
a breach of any condition, covenant or promise set forth herein; (b)written notice thereof has been
given to the defaulting party; and (c) such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days after
such notice was given to the defaulting party or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within
such thirty (30) day period, the defaulting party fails to commence to cure the breach and/or fails
thereafter to diligently proceed to complete such cure. A waiver by either party of any such breach
shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other condition,
covenant or promise.
Section 20. Remedies. The occurrence of an event of default hereunder shall give the
non-defaulting party the right to proceed with any and all remedies available at law or equity. Such
remedies may include an action for damages, an action or proceeding for specific performance,
and/or an action or proceeding for injunctive relief. Such actions or proceedings may require the
defaulting party to pay damages, to perform its obligations and covenants under this Agreement,
and to enjoin or cease and desist from acts which may be unlawful or in violation of the provisions
of this Agreement.
Section 21. Additional Remedies for Certain Defaults; Remedy For Excessive Rent
Charge.
(a) It shall constitute a default for the qualifying Affordable Unit tenant
to pay more than the maximum allowable Affordable Unit rent, or for Developer to charge the
Affordable Unit tenant more than the maximum allowable Affordable Unit rent. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement for Developer to receive any subsidies or
other consideration from any other source than the Affordable Unit tenant. In the event that the
Affordable Unit tenant pays such higher rental amounts,in addition to any other legal or equitable
remedy that the City shall have for such default, the Developer shall be required to pay to the
Affordable Unit tenant an amount equal to the difference between the Affordable Rent that should
have been charged and the amount of the excess rent received from the tenant, plus interest
compounded at the maximum rate allowable for judgments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
10
1589250.1
DocuSign Envelope ID:6C9AABE1-B035-45D3-9CAB-1 DOE3DCCA296
parties agree that if there is a dispute as to the rental rate(s) of Affordable Units, the parties shall
meet and confer in good faith to try to resolve such dispute.
(b) It shall also constitute a default for the Developer to fail to rent any
of the required Affordable Units to a Very Low Income Household, or to knowingly, solely based
upon Developer's actual knowledge, initially rent any Affordable Unit to a tenant who is not a
Very Low Income Household. If Developer chooses, in its reasonable business judgment, (i) to
undertake repairs or improvements to Affordable Units, once such Affordable Unit(s) becomes
vacant, or(ii)if due to a dispute between Developer and the Affordable Unit tenant,the Affordable
Unit cannot be rented to a new Affordable Unit tenant, such failure to rent an Affordable shall not
constitute a default. In the event the Developer violates this provision, in addition to any other
remedy at law or equity that the City shall have for such default, the Developer, for each separate
violation, shall be required to pay to the City an amount equal to the total rent the Developer
received from such ineligible tenant,plus interest compounded at the maximum rate allowable for
judgments.
Section 22. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. In addition to any other remedies provided
hereunder or available pursuant to law, if either party to this Agreement commences an action

prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, costs
of investigation, and costs of suit from the losing party. The maximum hourly rate for attorneys
which are recoverable under this Section 22 is $200/hour.
Section 23. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties
are cumulative, and the exercise by either party of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not
preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the
same default or any other default by the other party.
Section 24. Time of Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to the
performance by City and Developer of each and every obligation and condition of this Agreement.
Section 25. Third Party Beneficiaries. No persons or entities other than the parties and
their successors and assigns shall have any right of action under this Agreement.
Section 26. City Approvals and Actions. City shall maintain authority of this
Agreement and the authority to implement this Agreement through City Manager (or his duly
authorized representative). City Manager (or his designee) shall have the authority to make
approvals, issue interpretations, waive provisions, make and execute further agreements and/or
enter into amendments of this Agreement on behalf of City so long as such actions do not
materially or substantially change the uses or development permitted on the Site, or materially or
substantially add to the costs incurred or to be incurred by City as specified herein, and such
interpretations,waivers and/or amendments may include extensions of time to perform. All other
material and/or substantive interpretations, waivers, or amendments shall require the
consideration, action and written consent of the City.
Section 27. Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall run with the land, and all of
the terms, conditions, restrictions, and covenants contained in this Agreement shall be binding
11

or under common control of Developer("Developer Affiliate"),Developer shall provide City with
at least 10 days' notice prior to a transfer of Developer's interest to a Developer Affiliate.
Section 28. Notices. Any notice or demand that shall be required or permitted by law or
any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing. If the notice or demand will be served upon
