THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
2003
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT STUDY AGREEMENT FOR
PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND REDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE
(J. R. Watson & Associates Development Co., Inc. - West Ridge)
THIS 2003 REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT STUDY AGREEMENT FOR PROPERTY
ACQUISITION AND REDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE (this "Agreement") is dated as of
October 6, , 2003 and is entered into by and between J. R. Watson & Associates
Development Co., Inc., a California corporation (the "Developer"), and the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of San Bernardino, a body corporate and politic (the "Agency"), to coordinate
the mutual feasibility assessment, development planning and consideration of the purchase and
sale and redevelopment of certain real property. A portion of such property (136.4 acres) is
presently owned by the City of San Bernardino (the "City") and another portion of such property
(8.12 acres) is presently owned by the Agency. The subject property includes in the aggregate
approximately 144.52 acres of land and is generally situated north of Foothill Drive and east of
Sterling Avenue in the City of San Bernardino. The subject property is more specifically
described in the legal description and vicinity map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and
incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property"). It is anticipated that if the Developer
acquires the Property, the Property will be developed with approximately 107 residential
dwelling units, together with related on and off-site improvements (the "Project").
NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL COVENANTS AND
PROMISES SET FORTH HEREIN, THE DEVELOPER AND THE AGENCY HEREBY
AGREE, AS FOLLOWS:
1. Developer Acknowledgments.
a. The Developer hereby acknowledges and agrees that no provision of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be an offer by the City or the Agency or an acceptance by the City
or the Agency of any offer or proposal from the Developer to convey any interest in the Property,
or a portion thereof, to the Developer. Any studies relating to the Property or the Project (as
defined herein) that may be undertaken by the Developer, in its discretion shall be the sole
responsibility of the Developer and shall not be deemed to be undertaken for the benefit of the
City or the Agency.
b. The City is not a party to this Agreement.
c. The qualifications and identity of the Developer and its principals are of
particular concern to the Agency. The Agency has relied on these qualifications and identity in
entering into this Agreement with the Developer. During the term of this Agreement, no
voluntary or involuntary successor-in-interest of the Developer shall acquire any rights or powers
under this Agreement. The Developer shall not assign all or any part of this Agreement or any
P:\Clerical Services Dept\Margarct\Agreements-Amendments\Agrmts~Amend 2003\03-10-06 Watson RPS.doc

qvJ
CDC/2003-32
rights hereunder, without the prior written approval of the Agency Executive Director, which the
Agency Executive Director may grant or refuse in his or her sole and absolute discretion. The
Developer shall promptly notify the Agency in writing of any and all changes whatsoever in the
identity of the business entities and individuals either comprising or in control of the Developer,
as well as any and all changes in the interest or the degree of control of the Developer by any
such party, of which information the Developer or any of its partners or officers have been
notified or may otherwise have knowledge or information. Upon the occurrence of any
significant or material change, whether voluntary or involuntary, in membership, ownership,
management or control of the Developer (other than such changes occasioned by the death or
incapacity of any individual) that has not been approved in writing by the Agency Executive
Director, prior to the time of such change, the Agency may terminate this Agreement by serving
written notice of such termination, referencing this section, on the Developer.
2. Term of Agreement.
a. The rights and duties of the parties established by this Agreement
following the approval of this Agreement by the governing body of the Agency and the
acceptance of this Agreement by the Developer, as provided in Section 17 (the "Effective Date").
Following its Effective Date, this Agreement will continue in effect for a maximum time period
set forth in Section 2.c.
b. Prior to the date of this Agreement, Developer has completed the
following study items and has determined that the Project is feasible and Developer and the
Agency are now prepared to proceed to negotiate the form of a document entitled "Disposition
and Development Agreement (WEST RIDGE)" with respect to the Property (the "Property
DDA") for submission to the governing board of the Agency for final approval:
(1) a financial feasibility study/analysis for the development of the
Project has been completed by the Developer. Such financial feasibility analysis includes the
assumption by the Developer (in response to the Agency's prior written request for qualifications
of persons interested in the purchase of the Property) that the purchase price payable for the
Property shall be an amount not less than $1,158,000;
(2) a proposed conceptual development plan for the Project on the
Property, attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated by this reference.
c. This Agreement shall automatically terminate, without further notice or
action, and be of no further force or effect on the last day of the ninth calendar (9th) month
following the calendar month in which Effective Date occurs, unless prior to that time:
(1) the Developer delivers its written notice to the Agency suspending
its obligation to complete any of its studies and investigations relating to the Property and the
Project whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall be mutually released
from any further obligation arising under this Agreement; or
(2) the City delivers to the Executive Director of the Agency its
written notice withdrawing the City-owned portion of the Property from consideration for
P:\Clerical Services Dept\Margaret\Agrcemcnts-Amendments\Agrmls-Amend 2003\03-10-06 Watson RPS.doc

cr
CDC/2003-32
disposition as surplus lands of the City, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the
parties shall be mutually released from any further obligation airing under this Agreement; or
(3) the parties execute the Property DDA for a specific program of
disposition and redevelopment of the Property to be undertaken by the Developer, including
other relevant community redevelopment covenants acceptable to the Agency and such other
terms and conditions mutually acceptable to the parties, in which case this Agreement will
terminate on the effective date of such Property DDA; or
(4) the parties each agree to extend the term of this Agreement to a
specific date, subject to the Agency first making a finding that satisfactory progress is being
made to complete the activities to be performed by the Developer set forth in Section 2.d., as
determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Agency Executive Director.
d. The initial term ofthis Agreement (and all extensions of time approved by
the Agency) is referred to in this Agreement as the "Negotiation Period."
e. During the Negotiation Period the Developer shall further identify the
scope of the development project to be undertaken by the Developer on the Property, including
the purchase of the Property from the Agency, subject to the completion of the appropriate
findings by the City in its sole discretion, that certain portion of the Property as presently owned
by the City are surplus to the municipal needs of the City. Promptly following the Effective Date
the Developer shall commence preparation of preliminary engineering drawings and site plans
for the development project it proposes for the Property, prepare subdivision maps, initiate the
indicated entitlement process with the City and the Planning Commission, including the
preparation of the necessary environmental documentation required under the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") for the approval of such project by the City and
commence the preparation of the Initial Study to be completed and approved for purposes of
such CEQA review, by the City. Such CEQA documents prepared by the City shall be relied
upon by the Agency (subject to final certification by the City) at the time of the consideration by
the Agency of the final form of the Property DDA. During the Negotiation Period the parties
shall proceed to prepare and negotiate the proposed form of the Property DDA.
Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Effective Date, the
Developer shall prepare and deliver to the Agency a base map of the Property (prepared to scale
with suitable monumentation or land survey references).
Provided the Developer and the Executive Director of the Agency are satisfied
with the proposed form of the Project DDA, such document shall be presented to the Agency at a
noticed public hearing for final consideration and approval, together with the necessary CEQA
documentation, to allow the Agency to consider the approval of the final form of the Property
DDA.
3. The Proiect. A conceptual description of the "Project," as this term is used in this
Agreement, is set forth in Exhibit "B." The description of functional elements of the Project is
subject to further refinement and iteration by the Developer and the Agency as part of the studies
and evaluations of the Property which the Developer may hereafter undertake. The Developer
W
P:\Clerical Services Dcpt\Margaret\Agreemenls-Amendments\Agrrnts-Amend 2003\03-10-06 Watson RPS.doc
3
CDC/2003-32
shall take all reasonable action, at the Developer's sole cost and expense, as necessary or
convenient in the discretion for determining the feasibility of the redevelopment of the Project on
the Property.
4. Obligations of the Developer. During the Negotiation Period, the Developer shall
proceed diligently and in good faith to:
(1) review and provide comments on draft versions of the Property DDA and,
if acceptable to the Developer in its sole discretion, submit an executed copy of the final form of
the Property DDA to the Agency Executive Director prior to the end of the Negotiation Period;
(2) keep the Agency advised on the progress of the Developer in completing
its obligations under this Agreement, on a regular basis or as requested by Agency staff;
(3) pay all fees and expenses for engineers, architects, financial consultants,
attorneys, planning and other consultants and contractors as required for the Developer to
perform the Developer's obligations under this Agreement. The Agency shall not be obligated to
payor reimburse any costs or fees incurred by the Developer to perform the Developer's
obligations under this Agreement, whether or not any of the indicated work of the Developer's
studies may be suspended or this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the Negotiation
Period.
5. Agencv Not To Negotiate With Others.
a. Subject to the City taking final action with respect to a determination that
the portion of the Property currently owned by the City is surplus lands to the municipal needs of
the City, the Agency, currently, deems the disposition and redevelopment of the Property to be
necessary and the Developer appears to be well qualified to undertake the task of planning the
details of the sale of the Property by the Agency to the Developer and the redevelopment of the
Project on the Property in a manner compatible with the objectives of the Agency's and City's
goals.
b. During the Negotiation Period, the Agency shall not negotiate with any
other person or entity regarding either the disposition of the Property or the redevelopment of the
Project on the Property. The term "negotiate", as used herein, shall be deemed to preclude the
Agency from accepting any other offer or proposal from a third party to either acquire any
interest in the Property (in whole or in part) or redevelop the Property, and from discussing other
redevelopment proposals for the Property with third persons or entities; provided, however, any
person may submit and the Agency may consider any proposal for the disposition and/or
redevelopment of any lands adjacent to the Property.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during the
Negotiation Period, the Agency shall not be precluded from furnishing to persons or entities
unrelated to the Developer information in the possession of the Agency relating to the
redevelopment of any other land owned or controlled by the Agency in close proximity to the
Property. The Agency may also provide any other information in its possession that would
customarily be furnished to persons requesting information from the Agency concerning its
4
Cf
P:\Clerical Services Dept\Margaret\Agreements-Amendments\Agrmts-Amend 2003\03-10-06 Watson RPS.doc
CDC/2003-32
activities, goals, and matters of a similar nature or as required by law to be disclosed, upon
request.
6. Agencv Cooperation. During the Negotiation Period, the Agency shall use its
best efforts to:
a. Assemble, at the request and sole expense of the Developer, written
materials and documents relating to the Property that are in the possession of the Agency. The
Agency shall also provide appropriate comment to the Developer with respect to one or more
conceptual development plans, as may be proposed by the Developer for the Project, and the
redevelopment of the Property, including, but not limited to, conceptual plans or studies of
vacation, relocation, realignment or abandonment of public property and facilities, the
installation and improvement of public improvements and environmental evaluation of the
Project.
b. Subject to the approval of the City with respect to such portion of the
Property owned by the City, provide the Developer with limited access to the Property, during
the Negotiation Period, for the purpose of conducting customary due diligence investigations
thereon, including environmental investigations of the subsurface or any structure thereon,
subject to the terms and conditions of a separate environmental investigation and inspection
license agreement to be agreed upon by the Agency and the Developer, at some later date, if
applicable.
7. Negotiation of Propertv DDA. During the Negotiation Period, the Agency and
the Developer shall negotiate diligently and in good faith to prepare and enter into the Property
DDA. Both of the parties shall exercise best efforts to complete discussions relating to the final
terms and conditions of the Property DDA and such other matters, as may be mutually
acceptable to the parties for the redevelopment of the Project on the Property, prior to the
expiration of the Negotiation Period.
8. Consideration for this Agreement and Reservation of Rights. In consideration for
the Agency's entering into this Agreement, the Developer will undertake its obligations under
this Agreement and provide the Agency with copies of all studies and reports and other
information generated by the Developer or its consultants regarding the Project or the Property.
The parties agree that, if this Agreement terminates for any reason, if the Agency fails to extend
the Negotiation Period, if the City fails to approve any related aspect of the Project on terms
acceptable to the developer or if the Property DDA is not finally approved by the Agency, for
any reason, neither party shall be under any further obligation to the other regarding the
disposition, acquisition, reuse, redevelopment or development of the Project or the Property and
upon the termination of this Agreement the Developer and the Agency shall be mutually released
and discharged from any further obligation arising hereunder.
9. Planning and Design - Related Acknowledgments of the Parties. Certain
development standards and design controls for the Project may be established between the
Developer and the Agency in negotiation of or in the final form of the Property DDA, but it is
understood by both parties that the Project and the redevelopment of the Property must also
conform to City of San Bernardino development, design and architectural standards. The
P:\Clerical Services Dept\Margaret\Agreements-Amendments\Agrmts.Amend 2003\03-10-06 Watson RPS.doc
5
vY
CDC/2003-32
Agency shall fully cooperate with the Developer's professional associates in providing
information and assistance in connection with the Developer's preparation of drawings, plans and
specifications. Nothing in this Agreement shall be considered to be the approval of any plans or
specifications for the Project by either the Agency or the City. The Developer hereby
acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to abridge or waive the
discretionary power of the City, and its boards and commissions, under applicable law to
approve, conditionally approve or reject the approval of the Project, or the disposition of the
portion of the Property currently owned by the City to the Agency for disposition to the
Developer under any such Property DDA.
10. Developer Financial Disclosures. The Developer acknowledges that it may be
requested to make certain confidential financial disclosures to the Agency, its staff or legal
counsel, as part of the financial due diligence investigations of the Agency relating to the
potential disposition of the Property to the Developer. The parties recognize that such financial
disclosures may contain sensitive information relating to other business transactions of the
Developer, that the disclosure of such information to third parties could impose commercially
unreasonable and/or anti-competitive burdens on the Developer and, correspondingly, diminish
the value or fiscal benefit that may accrue to the Agency upon the disposition of the Property to
the Developer, if terms for such disposition are mutually agreed upon. Accordingly, the Agency
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any business records described in Government Code
Section 6254.15, as may be provided by the Developer to the Agency or its consultants, to the
maximum extent permitted by law. The Agency shall not provide a copy of any business record
protected from disclosure under Government Code Section 6254.15 to a third party, unless the
Developer first consents to such disclosure in writing or, unless a court of competent jurisdiction
compels disclosure.
11. Developer Acquires No Interest in Real Property or in the Property from the
Agency. The Developer hereby acknowledges that it has not acquired and will not acquire, by
virtue of the terms of this Agreement, any legal or equitable interest in the Property or in any
other real or personal property from the Agency.
12. Nondiscrimination. The Developer shall not discriminate against nor segregate
any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status,
handicap, national origin or ancestry in undertaking its obligations under this Agreement.
13. Compliance with Law. The Developer acknowledges that if mutually agreeable
terms are established the provisions of the Property DDA will likely mandate the Developer
(among other things) to carry out the construction of certain improvements in conformity with all
applicable laws, including all applicable planning and zoning laws, environmental planning and
safety laws and federal and state labor and wage laws.
14. Required Approvals. No Property DDA between the parties shall have any force
or effect nor shall the Agency be deemed to be a party to any agreement for the disposition of
real or personal property to the Developer, until the terms and conditions of the Property DDA
are considered and approved by the governing body of the Agency, following the conclusion of a
public hearing, as required by law.

CDC/2003-32
15. Press Releases. The Developer agrees to discuss any press releases it may
propose relating to the Property with the Agency Executive Director or hislher designee, prior to
publication, to assure accuracy and consistency of the information.
16. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be presented in person or delivered
by a nationally recognized overnight courier or shall be sent by FAX or by first class United
States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. Each such notice shall be deemed
received and effective (i) if by personal delivery or delivery by overnight courier, upon such
delivery; (ii) if given by FAX, when such FAX is transmitted to the FAX number specified
below; and (iii) if given by mail, 72 hours after deposit thereof in the United States mail

notifying the other party in writing.
