Dear Mr. Finn:
This letter will confirm our telephone conversations and
meeting of July 8, 1992.
I hereby request that this letter be made part of the
administrative record for this proposed development and any other
projects that may impact this site.
I am the President of Friends of the Foothills, a California
nonprofit public benefit corporation. I am also grassroots
coordinator for San Bernardino Sagefriends. I thank you for this
opportunity to comment and for your consideration of concerns and
recommendations.
Alluvial fan associated sage scrub, coastal and riversidean,
has been designated as one of the rarest plant communities in the
state by the California Department of Fish and Game ("CDFG") , and
United States Fish & Wildlife Service ("USFWS") . Please review
enclosed copies of reference getters by CDFG and USFWS, dated
6/30/92 and 3/13/92 respectively. The California Diversity
Database designated alluvial sage scrub B1. 1 "a rare and unique
plant community with a high priority for protection" in 1987.
The California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines
section 15125, states that "special emphasis should be placed on
environmental resources that are rare and unique to that region. "
The above-referenced project FEIR fails to adequately address
alluvial, riversidean and coastal sage scrub as rare and unique.
The FEIR fails to mitigate for the significant loss, direct,
indirect and cumulative impacts, including fuel modifications and O
hydrology. As you know, CDFG contends that compensation for the
loss of this habitat should reflect a replacement ratio of 2:1.
Exhibit "J"
C
July 15, 1992 Page Two
The FEIR fails to adequately disclose the impacts associated O
with fuel modification, and fails to reconcile conflicts between 2
fuel modification requirements and biological resource mitigation
measures.
The proposed project FEIR fails to respond to CEQA
Guidelines section 15206(2) , "a project has the potential for
causing significant effects on the environment extending beyond
the city or county in which the project would be located. " And
CEQA Guidelines section 15130(b) (1) (A) , and the CDFG Public
Resources Code section 21153 "a complete assessment of flora and
fauna within and adjacent to the project area, with emphasis upon O
sensitive and critical habitats" and "a discussion of
direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts expected to adversely
affect biological resources with specific measures to offset such
impacts" and "there should be a discussion of alternatives to not
only minimize adverse impacts to wildlife but also to include
direct benefit to wildlife and wildlife habitat."
Over over 250 species awaiting listing in the State of
California as threatened or endangered, 70 of these species may
be found in the coastal sage scrub related habitat.
Please review the enclosed list of sensitive species.
Three ESA section 20 "threatened- species" means any species
which is likely to become an endangered species within the
:foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its
:range. Title 16 United States Code section 480 states "habitat"
;means a place where the physical and biological elements of
ecosystems provide a suitable environment and the food, cover and
space resources needed for plant and animal livelihood (see
section 2605 Forest Service Manual) .
Each "habitat", as a "place", may include elements of
private, state and federal land, each with their respective _
jurisdictional responsibilities. Accordingly, the CDFG requires O
that county planning assess the impacts of proposed projects on q
habitats adjacent to the project and on national forest land.
The Specific Plan would displace some wildlife and deplete
their habitat. The result of this action is that some wildlife
will relocate onto the San Bernardino National Forest, O
immediately adjacent to the project site. This will burden the
habitat capability on the Forest. Some animals that may be
affected by this action include: deer, mountain lion, bear,
great horned owl, southern California spotted owl, big horn
sheep, coyote, golden eagle, raptors, arroyo toad, western
spadefoot toad, western pond turtle, merlin, and the California
red sided garter snake. Three ESA section 19 "the term 'take'
means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,

rapture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such
conduct. "
This proposed development is a project site occupying
habitats that encompass state and federal jurisdictional
components, and elements of private, state and federal land. The
FEIR before this honorable Commission fails to adequately define
and assess these habitats as part of the National Forest
ecosystem; see section 2603.1 Forest Service Manual. This
proposed project is also subject to the National Environmental
Policy Act ("NEPA") , which it fails to address pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines sections 15220 and 15221.
This proposed project fails to identify, address and respon
to the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts to golden eagles,
raptors, migratory birds and endangered species. Loss of
habitat, especially foraging habitat, has not been adequately O
identified, assessed and mitigated for, and is a signficant
impact. As you know, CDFG and CEQA require that biological
:purveys be made in the spring, prior to EIR certification.
In reference to the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources
Planning Act of 1974, Title 16 United States Code section 1604,
the proposed project is within the San Bernardino National
Forest. The 1974 Act requires the Forest Service to have a five-
phase program of monitoring and evaluation of impacts on lands
adjacent to national forests.
Have your city and project planners obtained these
Evaluations from the San Bernardino National Forest
Interdisciplinary Team?
Is your City General Plan consistent with the San Bernardino O
National Forest Land and Resources Management Plan?
The proposed Specific Plan project FEIR fails to mitigate
for and disclose substantial evidence of the significance of the
biological corridors which this project site would fragment. As
you may be aware, biological corridors provide avenues along
which wide-ranging animals can travel, plants can propagate,
genetic interchange can occur, populations can move in response
to environmental changes and natural disasters, and threatened l0
species can be replenished from other areas. Alluvial, coastal
and riversidean sage scrub requires periodic burning and flooding
for its continued sustainability and propagation. Where an
environmental resources is threatened, any incremental demand on
this resource must be considered significant. Under CEQA,
biological cumulative impacts must be clearly identified, topic
by topic. The proposed project FEIR fails to respond to
cumulative biological impacts.
July 15, 1992 Page Four
Proposed development on-site, in surrounding hillside
regions would have an unmitigated significant effect on the
required hydrology for the unique and rare alluvial sage scrub
and riparian, wetland habitat which depends upon periodic
flooding and surface sheet flow. The natural alluvial hydrology
sustains "riparian habitat" on and adjacent to the project site.
"Riparian habitat" means habitat related to or influenced by
surface or subsurface waters, especially the margins of streams,
lakes, ponds, wetlands, seeps, and ditches. Riparian habitat
refers to the transition zone between aquatic and upland habitat.
See section 2605 Forest Service Manual.
Again, special emphasis should be placed on these riparian
habitat values. The CDFG has a well known policy that there
should be "no net loss of wetland acreage or habitat values."
The proposed project is not in compliance with this policy, nor
with Title 33 United States Code, the Clean Water Act. All
hydrology studies must be done at the time of the EIR, please see
Sundstrom v. County of Mendocino.
The Administrative Procedure Act, Title 5 United States Code
section 701 et seq. , and Title 2 United States Code section
706(2) (d) , require that an agency has "taken the required hard
look at the environmental consequences of its decisions." This Q
would also include geophysical escarpments, hydrology,
wildlife/fuel modification, and visual impacts on national forest
lands..
I recommend that the City adopt the "environmentally
superior alternative" of no project, CEQA Guidelines section
15126 (d) . The City should prohibit development in 100-year
floodplains.
Any proposed development such as support facilities for
parks or golf courses and their associated parking, should be
evaluated in terms of the negative effect on groundwater recharge
and potential flood damage. Concrete and asphalt block the
absorption of water into alluvial deposits and accelerate runoff
so it has less time to be absorbed. Though the majority of
alluvial deposits lie in the 100-year floodplain, alluvial 14
deposits outside this boundary should be left underdeveloped.
Not only do these deposits play a role in groundwater recharge
and storage, alluvial deposits are also subject to liquefaction
during earthquakes. During strong earthquakes, alluvial deposits
literally liquefy. In the recent San Francisco earthquake,
buildings constructed on alluvial deposits were among the
structures that sustained the most damage.

The FEIR fails to respond to CEQA Guidelines sections
15126 (a) and 15127 (c) "direct and indirect significant effects of IS
the project on the environment shall be clearly identified and
described, giving due consideration to both the short-term and
long-term effects. "

Letter of Comment July 15, 1992
Leeona Klippstein, President, Friends of the Foothills
Ms. Leeona Klippstein, called the City of San Bernardino on July 7,
:1992 questioning the way the project biological assessment and EIR
addressed the issue Riversidean Sage Scrub on the project site.
On July 17, 1992 , the City received a formal letter of comment from
Ms. Klippstein on the Paradise Hills Final Environmental Impact
Report (FEIR) . Ms. Klippstein's comments on the Final EIR focus
primarily on biological issues, which she perceives as missing from
the FEIR document. Ms. Klippstein is correct in her assertions,
but not in the way one would expect. The FEIR does not contain a
complete discussion of biological issues and in and of itself, does
not constitute the complete set of environmental documents for the
Paradise Hills project. The complete set includes the Technical
Appendices, the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) , and the
Final Environmental Impact Report.
However, concerns similar to those raised by Ms. Klippstein about
the FEIR have been raised by the California Department of Fish and
Game in their letters of July 30, 1992 and September 14, 1992 in
regards to the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) . Issues or
concerns raised in Ms. Klippstein's letter have been numbered for
identification and summarized below. Responses have been prepared
for each with regard to the entire EIR in an effort to address the
concerns raised in the letter.
Comment 1:
The FEIR fails to adequately address alluvial, riversidean, and
coastal sage scrub as rare and unique. The FEIR fails to mitigate
for the significant loss of such sage scrub, and the cumulative
impacts of such a loss as a result of the project.
Response 1:
The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) raised similar
concerns regarding whether or not the biological assessment
contained in the DEIR had adequately addressed the sage scrub
habitat on site. The CDFG and the project biological consultant
disagree as to what type of plant community(s) exist on site now,
what can be expected to exist there in the future and what level of
significance the degraded areas of sage scrub on the site warrant.
The disagreement appears to stem from the lack of a proper
definition of what constitutes Riversidean Sage and Coastal Sage.
A discussion of the issue can found on page G-3 of Appendix G to
the Final Environmental impact report, beginning at paragraph e.
The City has chosen to determine that the position of the CDFG is
correct. A Statements of Overriding Consideration will be required
on this point if the project is to be approved.
Comment 2:
The FEIR fails to adequately disclose the impacts associated with
fuel modification, and fails to reconcile conflicts between fuel
modification requirements and biological resource mitigation
measures.
Response 2:
The CDFG in their letter of July 30th raised the issue of
inappropriateness of fuel modification practices with respect to
preservation of wildlife issues in the DEIR. The CDFG understands
that there is a conflict between fire protection needs and
biological values on the site, as signified by their September 14th
letter.
Further discussion of this issue can be found on page G-13 of
Appendix G to the Final EIR, under the heading "Biological Values
vs Fire Protection Values.
Comment 3:
The FEIR fails to respond to CEQA Guidelines section 15206(2) , CEQA
Guidelines section 15130 (b) (1) (A) , and to the CDFG Public Resources
Code section 21153 .
Response 3:
CEQA Guidelines section 15206 establishes criteria for deeming a
project to be of statewide, regional, or areawide significance.
This project does in fact meet the criteria established in this
section. This section stipulates that the Draft EIR for such
projects be submitted to the State Clearinghouse and to the
appropriate metropolitan area council of governments for review and
comment. The DEIR was sent to the State Clearinghouse, Southern
California Association of Governments, and the San Bernardino Board
of Area Governments for review in compliance with this section.
CEQA Guidelines section 15130 (b) (1) (A) , requires that the EIR
contain a discussion of cumulative impacts, reflecting the severity
of the impacts and their likelihood of occurrence, including a
discussion of past, present, and reasonably anticipated future
projects producing related or cumulative impacts, including those
beyond the control of the lead agency. The CDFG raised a similar
concern that the DEIR did not adequately address the cumulative
effects of the project on area biology. A complete discussion can
be found on page G-14 of Appendix G to the Final Environmental
Impact Report under the heading "Cumulative Effects on Biology in
the Area. "
Please refer to the CDFG's letters for their concerns regarding the
assessment of biological resources, the environmental consultants
response (Appendix G to the FEIR) and City biological consultant's
responses to those concerns.
Comment 4:
The CDFG requires that county planning asses the impacts of
proposed projects on habitats adjacent to the project and on
national forest service lands.
Response 4:
Please refer to the CDFG letters of comment dated July 30, 1992 and
September 14, 1992 for a complete list of CDFG concerns in regards
to the projects. For a response to those comments, please refer to
the environmental consultants response to CDFG's comments contained
in the Appendix G to the Final Environmental Impact Report.
Comment 5:
The specific Plan would displace some wildlife and deplete their
habitat. The result of this action is that some wildlife will
relocate onto the San Bernardino National Forest, immediately
adjacent to the project site. This will burden the habitat
capability of the forest.
Response 5:
This comment is related to the concern raised by the CDFG regarding
cumulative impacts. Please refer to the proposed revision to the
FEIR, Appendix F, and to the comments of the City consultant
biologist regarding this issue.
Comment 6:
This proposed development is on a site occupying habitats that
encompass state and federal jurisdictional components. This
project is subject to the National Environmental Policy Act
("NEPA") , which it fails to address pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15220 and 15221.
Response 6:
CEQA Guidelines section 15220 states that NEPA applies to projects
which are carried out, financed, or approved in whole or in part by
federal agencies. This project does not meet any of these criteria
and is therefore, not subject to NEPA.
CEQA Guidelines section 15221 stipulate that when a project
requires compliance with both NEPA and CEQA and an EIS should be
prepared rather than an EIR if an EIS will be prepared before and
EIR would otherwise be completed for the project or when an EIS
would comply with CEQA Guidelines. Since the project is not
subject to NEPA, as noted above, section 15221 does not apply.
Comment 7:
The project fails to identify, address, or respond to the direct,
indirect or cumulative impacts of raptors, migratory birds and
endangered species. CDFG and CEQA require that biological surveys
be made in the spring, prior to EIR certification.
Response 7:
City staff is not aware of any CEQA sections stipulating the time
of year that a biological survey must be conducted. In their
letters of comment, CDFG expressed concern over biological survey
methodology. A discussion of survey methodology as it relates to
CDFG concerns can be found on page G-12 of Appendix G to the Final
Environmental Impact Report. Additional mitigation can be found
beginning on page G-7 of Appendix G bf the Final EIR.
Comment 8:
The project is located within the boundaries of the San Bernardino
National Forest and is subject to the Forest and Rangeland
Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974. This act requires the
Forest Service to have a five phase program of monitoring and
evaluation of impacts of lands adjacent to national forests. Has
the City obtained these evaluations form the San Bernardino
National Forest Interdisciplinary Team?
Response 8:
City staff contacted Gary Earney of the United States Forest
Service regarding the requirement. Whether or not the Forest
Service is required by the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources
Planning Act of 1974 to have a five phase program to monitor the
impacts of the use of private land adjacent to national forest is
currently the subject of litigation against the Forest Service.
The outcome of the litigation has not yet been determined. If the
litigation is decided against the Forest Service and the monitoring
is required, it will be the Forest Service's responsibility to
implement the monitoring program. How such a monitoring program
would be implemented by the Forest Service is not yet clear, but
such a monitoring program could be established following project
approval and is not required as part of the CEQA process.
Comment 9:
Is the City General Plan consistent with the San Bernardino
National Forest Land Resources Management Plan?
Response 9:
The City's General Plan was recently updated (Adopted June 2,
1989) . The process of updating the General Plan took place over a
period of 3 years. During that period the U. S. Forest Service was
given numerous opportunities to review and comment during the

19 Monitoring/Reporting Program and the Findings and Statements of
20 Overriding Consideration reflect the independent review and
21 analysis and the independent judgement of the City of San
22 Bernardino.
23 (E) The Final EIR has identified all significant
24 environmental effects of Specific Plan No. 90-03 , General Plan
25 Amendment No. 91-07, and Development Agreement No. 91-0311 and
26 there are no known potentially significant environmental effects
27 not addressed in the Final EIR.

1 (F) Although the Final EIR identifies certain significant
2 environmental effects that would result if Specific Plan No. 90-03 ,
3 General Plan Amendment No. 91-07, and Development Agreement No. 91-
4 03 are adopted, all significant effects that can feasibly be
5 avoided or mitigated will be avoided or mitigated by the
6 implementation of the mitigation measures as set forth in the
7 Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program for the Final EIR.
8 (G) Potential mitigation measures and project alternatives
9 not incorporated into or adopted as part of the Specific Plan,
10 General Plan Amendment, or Development Agreement were rejected as
11 infeasible, based on specific economic, social or other
12 considerations as set forth in the Findings and Statements of
13 Overriding Consideration.
14 (H) The Mayor and Common Council have given great weight to
15 the significant unavoidable adverse environmental impacts. The
16 Mayor and Common Council find that the significant unavoidable
17 adverse impacts are clearly outweighed by the economic, social and
18 other benefits of the Specific Plan, the General Plan Amendment,
19 and the Development Agreement as set forth in the Findings and
20 Statements of Overriding Considerations.
21 SECTION 3 . FINDINGS - SPECIFIC PLAN.
22 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Mayor and Common Council of the
23 City of San Bernardino that:
24 (A) Specific Plan No. 90-031 Paradise Hills, is consistent
25 with the General Plan, in that it refines and implements General
26 Plan objectives and policies applicable to the project site.

1 (B) The Specific Plan will ensure development of desirable
2 character which will be compatible with existing and proposed
3 development in the surrounding area in that the Specific Plan will
4 be implemented subject to the requirements contained therein.
5 (C) The Specific Plan area, including the General Plan
6 Amendment area, is physically suitable for the requested land use
7 designation and the anticipated development as analyzed in the
8 Final Environmental Impact Report, which determined the development
9 desirable and appropriate for the area; all public services and
10 infrastructure are available to the project area and any
11 development permissible under the Specific Plan would not impact on
12 these facilities.
13 (D) The proposed plan will ensure development of a desirable
14 character which will be compatible with existing and proposed
15 development in that the policies established by the Plan are
16 intended to encourage high quality development of a nature
17 consistent with surrounding developments.
18 (E) The Specific Plan will contribute to a balance of land
19 uses so that the local residents may work and shop in the community
20 in which they live in that the plan proposes residential land uses.
21 The site is designated by the General Plan for residential land
22 uses, and the theoretical maximum number of units obtainable on the
23 site does not change.
24 (F) Specific Plan No. 90-03, Paradise Hills, is attached as
25 Attachment 3 (Exhibit C of the February 1, 1993 Mayor and Common
26 Council Staff Report) and incorporated herein by reference.

1 SECTION 4 . FINDINGS - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT.
2 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Mayor and Common Council of the
3 City of San Bernardino that:
4 (A) General Plan Amendment No. 91-07 is consistent with the
5 Goals, Objectives and Policies of the General Plan. The intent of
6 the General Plan Amendment is to supplement General Plan Policies
7 for reducing the number of units in the Hillside Management Overlay
8 by creating a receiving area outside the Overlay for the transfer
9 of dwelling units from the hillsides.
10 (B) General Plan Amendment No. 91-07 will not be detrimental
11 to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, in
12 that the purpose of the amendment is to reduce impacts as addressed
13 in the EIR. Future subdivisions will require and be subject to
14 further environmental review.
15 (C) General Plan Amendment No. 91-07 will not impact the
16 balance of land uses within the City. Although the amendment will
17 result in a higher development density in the foothill areas of the
18 project site, the potential overall theoretical number of units
19 obtainable for the project site will not change.
20 (D) The subject land use is physically suitable for the RS,
21 Residential Suburban land use designation in that the access and
22 the provision of services and utilities will occur as outlined in
23 the related Specific Plan. The designation will accommodate the
24 transfer of units from areas with physical constraints.
25 (E) A Map of the area affected by General Plan Amendment No.

SUBJECT AND REQUEST: Approval of Specific Plan No. 90-03 , General
Plan Amendment No. 91-07, and Development Agreement No.
91-03.
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of February 1, 1993
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A brief description of each project has been
provided below. A more complete description and analysis of each
application can be found in the Planning Commission staff reports,
Exhibit "A" .
Specific Plan No. 90-03
Specific Plan No. 90-03 (Paradise Hills Specific Plan) will
establish the framework for the development of a maximum of 504
single-family homes on 404 acres, a 5 acre public park and
approximately 189 acres of open space. The Specific Plan is a
general policy document that will further refine and implement the
General Plan Policies applicable to the project area. The Specific
Plan does this by establishing goals, objectives, policies, and
standards which form the framework for the orderly development of
the project site. The Plan includes provisions, standards and
policies for access and circulation, land use and unit density
transfer, public safety and public services, parks and open space,
landscaping, and community design.
General Plan Amendment No. 91-07
General Plan Amendment No. 91-07 affects approximately 110 acres of
the project site located outside of the General Plan Hillside
Management Overlay District (HMOD) . The amendment would change the
present RL, Residential Low General Plan land use designation of
the 110 acres to the RS, Residential Suburban General Plan
designation. The RS General Plan designation would permit a
smaller minimum lot size (7,200 square feet) and a greater density
(4 .5 units per acre) than the RL General Plan designation (10,800
square feet minimum lot size and 3 .1 units per acre density) .
The purpose of the General Plan Amendment is to create a receiving
area within the limits of the project site to accept the transfer
of residential units from the HR, Hillside Residential areas of the
Specific Plan. The benefit of creating such a receiving area is
that potentially fewer residential units will be built in the
steeper, more environmentally sensitive hillside areas of the
project site.
Development Agreement No. 91-03
Development Agreement No. 91-03 would help implement the Paradise
Hills Specific Plan.

KEY ISSIIES: The following key issues have been identified by
topic:
SPECIFIC PLAN ISSUES
o The Specific Plan does not address the maintenance of the
fuel modification and open space areas. The issues
regarding the maintenance of the open space and fuel
modification areas reduce down to a single issue of
liability leaving only two options; (1) establishment of
a Homeowner's Association, or (2) establishment of an
assessment district. Staff recommends Option No. 2, the
establishment of an assessment district. The applicant
concurs. The Conditions of Approval recommended by the
Planning Commission have been revised to include a
condition requiring the applicant to revise the Specific
Plan to address the maintenance of the fuel modification
and open space areas through the establishment of an
assessment district.
o The City Fire Department has raised concern over the
Circulation Plan contained in the Specific Plan. As a
result, Alternative 4, described on page 3 of the Final
Environmental Impact Report (Exhibit "F") , was proposed.
The Fire Department, staff, and the Planning Commission
have all recommended Alternative 4 as the preferred
project circulation plan. A Condition of Approval has
been added to the list of Conditions recommended by the
Planning Commission at the November 17, 1992 Planning
Commission Meeting to revise the Specific Plan
Circulation Plan to be consistent with that proposed by
Alternative 4. The Applicant concurs.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ISSIIES
o The Development Agreement contains language which appears
to vest the project to 504 units. Site geologic/seismic
constraints or other environmental factors could
ultimately result in unbuildable areas. A vested right
to a specific number of units coupled with large
unbuildable areas could place the City in a situation
where it would be forced to honor the agreement and
violate the General Plan density policies, or honor the
General Plan density policies and violate the agreement.
Paradise Hills Specific Plan
MCC 2-1-93
Page 3
o Concern has been expressed over the benefits afforded the
Developer under the Development Agreement in comparison
to the benefits the agreement would afford the City.
Some examples of the provisions provided in the agreement
to benefit the Developer include:
Section 10. 1, page 5 - Provisions that restrict the
City from enacting any ordinances or policies in
conflict with the Development Agreement or Specific
Plan. This includes any new General Plan Policies.
Section 10.2 , page 5 - Provisions that restrict the
City from enacting any moratoriums which would
affect the project.
Section 11.5, page 6 - Provisions that give the
developer access to Mello-Roos Community Facility
District (CFD) bonding mechanisms and other bonding
mechanisms to fund public improvements. Under the
Development Agreement the City would have no choice
in assisting the developer in obtaining bonding
under the developer's choice of bonding mechanisms.
Section 11.7 , page 7 - Provisions that exempt
development under the Specific Plan and Development
Agreement from any future fees established. As an
example, if the City were to establish a City-wide
solid waste fee for new development in order to
fund the construction of new recycling facilities,
any new application submitted under the Specific
Plan and Development Agreement would be exempt from
the fee. Other new development applications in the
City not part of the Specific Plan would be
required to pay the fee.
Section 11.9 , Page 7 - Provisions which require the
City to enter into a reimbursement agreement with
the developer to reimburse them for public
facilities constructed by the developer that
benefit other properties as well as the property
governed by the Specific Plan. This includes any
or all of the facilities listed by the developers
as benefits to the City in Section 3 . 1 of the
Development Agreement.
Benefits to the City occur as a result of the project and
would likely occur regardless of whether or not the City
enters into an agreement with the Developer. The Mayor
and Common Council should consider these factors in
Paradise Hills Specific Plan
MCC 2-1-93
Page 4
determining whether or not to approve the Development
Agreement.
o The acquisition and construction of Pepper-Linden Drive
by the applicant has been discussed in several meetings
between the applicant and staff. While the Environmental
Impact Report has determined that Pepper-Linden is not
necessary for access to the project, its acquisition and
construction would alleviate some of the area circulation
concerns. This would benefit the City and should be
included as a provision in the Development Agreement (See
Exhibit "H") .
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
o Concern has been raised regarding the adequacy of the
Biological Assessment portions of the Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) . Specifically, the methodologies
used by the Biological Consultant in conducting plant and
wildlife surveys of the site have been questioned by the
California Department of Fish and Game, and others. To
mitigate the concerns, the Planning Commission
recommended certification of the EIR subject to the
Condition that additional survey work related to
biological impacts, be conducted in compliance with
established California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
guidelines, and California Department of Fish and Game
(CDFG) guidelines prior to the approval of any phase of
development. A Condition of Approval has been added to
the list of Conditions recommended by the Planning
Commission requiring that this be incorporated into the
Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
A brief history of the environmental process prior to hearing of
the project by the Planning Commission can be found in the May 5,
1992 Planning Commission staff report included in Exhibit "A".
The Environmental Impact Report identifies four impacts which
remain significant as a result of Specific Plan implementation.
They are regional air quality, biological resources, area
jobs/housing balance (population) and solid waste. The City cannot
approve the project given the significant impacts identified by the
EIR unless it makes one or more written findings and prepares
Statements of Overriding Consideration for each of the significant
effects. The Statements of Overriding Consideration reviewed and
recommended by the Planning Commission have been included in the
attached Resolution, Exhibit "I" . .
Paradise Hills Specific Plan
MCC 2-1-93
Page 5
As mentioned in the previous section, the adequacy of the
Biological Assessment contained in the Environmental Impact Report,
and the research/survey methodologies have been questioned by the
California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and others (See the
CDFG response letters of July 30, 1992 and September 4, 1992,
Exhibit "G-1") . The project biological consultant's (Pacific
Southwest Biological Services) response dated September 1, 1992 is
also included in Exhibit 11G-111 . To resolve the apparent
"differences of opinion" between the CDFG and the project
biological consultant, the City retained the services of Tom
Leslie, of John Minch and Associates. The conclusions of Mr.
Leslie's review can be found in his letters dated November 13 , 1992
and December 9, 1992, and are included in Exhibit 11G-111 .
On November 17, 1992, the Planning Commission found the
Environmental Impact Report adequate, and recommended
certification, subject to the condition that additional survey work
related to biological impacts be required prior to the approval of
an phase of development, in compliance with established CEQA and
CDFG Guidelines for Biological Mitigation.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL OPTIONS: A Resolution has been prepared and is
included as Exhibit "A" for the approval of Specific Plan No. 90-
03 , General Plan Amendment No. 91-07, and Development Agreement No.
91-03 .
The Mayor and Common Council may:
1. Certify the Environmental Impact Report, subject to the
Planning Commissions recommendation, and adopt the
Resolution approving Specific Plan No. 90-03 , and General
Plan Amendment No. 91-07, and adopt the Resolution
approving Development Agreement No. 91-03 ; (Supports
Planning Commission's recommendation) .
2 . Approve Specific Plan No. 90-03 , General Plan Amendment
No. 91-07, and Development Agreement No. 91-03 in
concept, and require revision to any of the three
applications as deemed necessary by the Council, and
continue the projects for 90 days to make the necessary
revisions; or
3 . Deny Specific Plan No. 91-03 , General Plan Amendment No.
91-07, and/or Development Agreement No. 91-03 .
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission
recommended that the Mayor and Council: (1) certify the EIR,
subject to the condition that additional biological survey work be
completed for the entire site prior to the approval of any phase of
I
Paradise Hills Specific Plan
MCC 2-1-93

development; (2) approve Specific Plan No. 90-03 and General Plan
Amendment No. 91-07 ; and (3) approve Development Agreement No. 91-
03 in concept and require the applicant to revise the Development
Agreement to make clear that the 504 units are a theoretical
maximum, and to include the acquisition and construction of Pepper-
Linden as previously discussed with the applicant.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common
Council:
1. Adopt in concept the resolution which:
A. Certifies the Environmental Impact Report, subject
to the condition that additional mitigation
including additional survey work related to
biological impacts, as outlined in Appendix G of
the Final EIR, be required for the entire project
site prior to the approval of any phase of
development, pursuant to and in compliance with
established CEQA Guidelines, and established CDFG
Guidelines for Biological Mitigation.

revised to reflect the responsible party for maintenance of
the open space and fuel modification areas as determined by
the Planning Commission.
2 . The implementation section shall be revised to require that
slope stability and landslide potential be addressed in all
subsequent geology studies addressing any portion of the
project site.
3 . The Specific Plan shall be revised to remove all references to
mountain biking and biking trails.
4 . The implementation section shall be revised to specify that
the developer shall notify a new owner of any subdivision lots
located within 500 feet of the San Bernardino Valley Water
District pipeline, at the time of the purchase agreement and
at the close of escrow of the location, size, and type of the
San Bernardino Valley Water District pipeline.
5. The implementation section shall specify the exclusion of
Planning Area 8 from the Specific Plan until such time that
LAFCO has approved the developers annexation request for
Planning Area 8, and said area is annexed into the City of San
Bernardino.
6. The developer shall negotiate the location of the helipad with
the forestry service and submit a letter of agreement between
the Forest Service, Fontana Corners III and any other involved
party. If said helipad is to be located within the City
Limits of San Bernardino, it must comply with all requirements
of the City's Development Code and General Plan, including the
submittal and approval of a Conditional Permit. The precise
design and location of the helipad must be environmentally
reviewed and approved prior to recordation of the first tract
map that creates buildable homesites in the Hillside
Residential (HR) area of the Specific Plan.
7 . The applicant shall revise the text and exhibits to be in
conformance with the adopted alternative and all other changes
adopted by the City Council. A screencheck of the revised
document shall be submitted to the Planning Department within

as a numbered lot, and the open space as lettered lots. The
master tract shall require the concurrent submittal of a
Conditional Use Permit. The Conditional Use Permit will
determine the number of allowable units available for transfer
from the open space areas, and establish a pool of these units
upon which future developments involving density transfers can
draw. The text shall also specify the use of the master tract
map and file for keeping track of the transfer of units from
the pool.
10. The implementation section shall be revised to include
provisions stating that wherever the Specific Plan is silent
any particular issue, the Development Code requirements
regarding that issue shall govern.
11. The first paragraph of Section 1. 1 on page 2 of the Specific
Plan shall be revised to read:

the applicant agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
the City, its officers, agents and employees from any claim,
action, or proceeding against the City of San Bernardino. The
applicant further agrees to reimburse the City of any costs
and attorneys' fees with the City may be required by a court
to pay as a result of any such action, but such participation
shall not relieve the applicant of his or her obligation under
this condition.
9. The implementation section shall be revised requiring the
submittal of a master tract map, prior to or concurrently with
the submittal of the first tentative tract map to create homes
within the Specific Plan. The text shall specify that the
master tract map delineate each of the approved planning areas
as a numbered lot, and the open space as lettered lots. The
master tract shall require the concurrent submittal of a
Conditional Use Permit. The Conditional Use Permit will
determine the number of allowable units available for transfer

The City Council of the City of San Bernardino, in approving the Fontana Corners I 1 1
residential development (Specific Plan 90-03, known as Paradise Hills),makes the findings and adopts
the statements of overriding considerations herein set forth.
The Environmental Impact Report on the project identifies possible sigTnificant adverse
environmental impacts of the project in a number of areas. Mitigation measures have been developed
and imposed %yhich mitigTate impacts in most areas to some extent.
Imposition of mitigation measures will mitigate impacts in most areas to a level of
insignificance. These impacts and mitigation measures, the rationale for uhcir effectiveness, and the
reasons why other mitigation is not necessary or feasible, are described in Section A.
Four areas of impacts are mitigated to some extent after the imposition of mitigation
measures. but not to a level of insignificance. These impacts and mitigation -measures. the rationale for

The project will construct a helipad in the foothill area, that will provide regional benefit
for fire fighting and emergency rescue operations in the San Bernardino National Forest. This is
discussed in the Specific Plan Sections 2.4 and 5.2, in the Draft EIR Section IV -K. in the Fire
Protection Plan(Appendix -f) of the Draft EIR, and in the Final EIR in Section. II-10.
5. Parks and Recreational Opportunities
The project will construct a park, and dedicate it to the City. The park exceeds the City's
acreage requirement (5 acres per 1,000 population) by 2.9 acres, and includes a riparian element
enhanced by a trail and educational interpretive signagc about riparian biological communities.

through the site. This is discussed in the Specific Plan Sections 2.4, 3.2, and 7, in the Draft EIR
Sections III and IV -T, and in the staff report and applicant's testimom at the May 5th and July 7th
Planning Commission hearings.
6. Oven Soace in Perveruity
The project designates 175 contiguous acres to open space uses in perpetuity, thereby
creating assurance that a significant visual and biological resource will not be lost in future years. This
is discussed in the Specific Plan Sections 3.2 and 7, in the Draft Eir Sections III, IV -.y, B, F, H and T,
V and T.Y, in the BiologJ-•al Resc,-,,=s Sur're;• (appendix G; of:hce Draft _.R. '.^. Scc—cr. H _0 of

8. Quaiitv. Upper-End Housing
The project would provide housing of the type that would en=hance the imau=. of the city,
and of which the city is currently in short supply. This is discussed in the Specific Plan Sections 2, 3
and 9, in the Market Feasibility Analysis prepared by AL Gobar (dated July, 1990), in the Fiscal
Impact Report (A�)omdix L', of the Draft EIR, in Section III and TV - I and W of the Draft EIR, and in

9. Came P-° rtion 7-iouch Dcsicn
The project would further a goal of the City by creating neighborhoods that are safe from
crime. The project embodies a "Crime Prevention Through Design" element that makes such criteria
mandatory rather than advisory. This is discussed in the Specific Plan Sections 2.4 and 5 3, and is
Section IV -L of the Draft EIR.
10. Master Planning
The specific plan process guarantees which land of development may and may not occur
on the site, and anchors and integrates the development through implementation of a master landscape
plan that will foster an up-scale, aesthetically pleasing image for the Citv. This is discussed in the
Specific Plan Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10, in Section III and IV - F, H and T of the Draft EIR,
and in the staff report and applicant's presentation at the May 50h Planning Commission hearing.
SECTION D. ALTERNATIVES
' The City Council finds that the EIR describes a reasonable range of alternatives to the
project, or to its location, and that the City council has evaluated the comparative merits of the
alternatives, has re;ected Alternatives 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 5, 6, ', the Alternative Site, and the No Project
Alternative, and has chosen Alternative=4 in favor of the proposed project as summarized below:
1. Alternate Access Alternative
This alternative provides a separate access road, which meets all public roadway
standards, to the r.i_lside area. Discussion of this alternative appears in Section IY of the Draft EIR and
sho'r'n '.n Table 1 of-tie �_.. l =?R. Tl-e alternative c, u ;tie cn i n an"

minor degree, on traffic circulation. However, it necessitates greater impact in terms of earthwork,
aesthetics, and biological resources. There is no other wav to get a second full-sized roadway to the top
of hillside developmem area. The environmental impacts of this alternative are considered to
outweigh the benefits. Therefore, this alternative was rejected as environmentally infeasible.

`rading in :he hillside area. Alternative 3b has an additional road (circulation cont:_-uration as shown
in Alternative 1), which creates impacts to biology and acstheti,:s while leSsc-nir.Ll impacts to
traffic and fire atotection. Under the c alternatives, the extension of essemiail- tl;c <amc level of urban

These alternatives would have the same or arcater impacts than the project as proposed,
as discussed in Section IX of the raft EiR, and as shown in Table 1 of:...e Final EIR. The difference
between 3a and 3b is the circulation pattern. 3a shows a circulation pattern similar to the proposed
project. 3b shows the ?nd access pattern shown in Altcrnativc 1. These alternatives are, therefore,
rciected as environmentally infeasible, as it offers no environmental improvement over the project as
planned.
4. Revised Alternate access alternative
This alternative provides a separate access road to the hillside area which is more narrow
in width than is normally permitted, and has no sidewalk and parkway. Discussion of this alternative
appears in Section I and Table 1 of the Final EIR. This alternative has the same but less severe impacts

minimized; and the alignment is not as visible from offsite. This alternative meets all of the project
objectives, and has fewer impacts than Alternative 1, and has increased fire safety. For these reasons,
Alternative 4 is feasible and has been chosen as the "preferred alternative."
5. Biolosicallv Sunenor Alternative
This alternative utilizes the circulation pattern of Alternative 4, the preferred alternative,
and further reduces biological impacts by prohibiting hiking trails and eliminating the upper crossing
of the riparian channel. This alternative is discussed in Section I of the Final EIR and is shown in
Table 1 of the Final EIR. In order:o eliminate the crossing, Plarminz Area 5 and a pertier, of Planning
Area 5 (as shown in the specific plan, Exhibit 8) have been eliminated ,Figure 3 of h c Final EIR re-
numbers the Planning Areas in different sequences). The ciimiration of these deveioprrent areas
causes a reduction in the number of units from 504 to 469.
Per-unit costs for infrastructure would-be be proportionately hither, and the -ltemative,
:herefore, risks financial infeasibility. It also eliminates the abilitv to site water reservoirs out of sight
in or adjacent to Planning Area 6, and minimizes the number of potential custom, upper-end home sites
which are of^articular benefit :o he City, and which arc a particular -2roject obiec:ive. For these

6. Geolosically Sueerior,No Hillside Development) Alternative
This alternative reduces impacts associates: with fault rupture and landslides by
eliminating the need to cross the fault zone with public roadways. No habitable structures are
segregated from other urbanized areas in San Bernardino, and from emergencN, services, by the San
Andreas or related fauns. This alternative is t7ls:ussed in Section I of the Final EIR, and s:.--%vn in
Table 1 (cent.! of Lhe ;tnal EIR. T'„ alternative eliminates all hillside :Ots. _.,,rob' 211:rn=ti^^

infrastructure are incrzased accordingly, :nakin_ the croject ecoromicaliv infeasible. rcr these
reasons, Altemative 6 was reiected for the Preferred Alternative, =4.
7. Reduced Densitv Alternative #7
This alternative cuts lot yield by 259c uniformly throughout the project. Discussion of
this alternative appear in Section I of the Final EIR and is shown in T ablz 1 of the Final EIR. Under
this alternative, the extension of essentially the same Icvel of urban infrastructure as that needed for
Alternative 4, would still be required. Per-unit costs for infrastructure would increase accordingly,
risking project. financial feasibility, and reducing the tax benefits and image enhancement associated
with the Preferred Alternative,#4, and is therefore rejected.
8. Alternative Proiect Location
Development of the project at an alternative location is rejected as infeasible s .^c site,
though similar in size and characteristics, would yield the same or Greater impacts as the ^reposed
YrOjcC:. -:d .o be—z.- s::zs are
but these are not significant impacts for the project where originally proposed. No other impacts could
be determined to be less adverse, for the reasons discussed in Section IX of the Draft EIR.
9. "'so Proiect" Alternative
The "\o Project" alternative would create no environmental impacts, but neither'.;'ould it
generate any of the project benefits, as described in Section C above,nor does it fulfill an}, of the basic
project objectives, and therefore is rejected as socially and economically infeasible. This alternative is
discussed in Section LX of the Draft EIR, and is shown in Table 1 of the Final EIR.
SECTION E. CONCLUSIOtiS
The City council finds that:
(1) All feasible mitigation measures identified in the EIR have been required in, or
incorporated into, the project,as described above in Sections A and B. Certain mitigation measures, as
identified above, are %v-1::in the responsibili:v and iurisdic:ion of e licr accncics. Cthcr n.-;_caticn is

(2) A reasonable ranee of alternatives to the project has been evaluated, as described
above in Section D. T-te environmentally superior altematives (.Biologically,#5, :,nd Gcoio�.:i call y, T6)
would not feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project to an adequate extent, and would not
produce as many social and economic benefits for the CitN'. Attematives 1, 2a, =b, 3a, 3b, 7, and the
alternate site location are not envircnmentaL'y superior, and would not attain the project objectives to
an adequate degree. T:_e "No P-eject" alternative ,vould not attain the project obiecaves at a11. These
..:ernatives to the arojec: are, therefore, determined to be an infeasible means ot_atainins the =reject
o�jcc:iyes and/or the Denclits cf he project, and are rejected.
(3) lit.° -13llye - '.vlll wov:Ce substantial public jenc',.its, as 7ovc in
Sections C 3 D. These benefits have been balanced against the project's unavoidable environmental
effects, and are determined to outweigh and justify those -environmental effects. The unavoidable
environmental effects are less than those that %vould 'c^ oroduccd b%' Altematl „ •and *,he our i
benefit is the same as that of Alternative 1, but greater than that of Alternatives 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, g, and 9.
Economic growth within the City requires new sites for upper-end residential developm-eit with
enhanced tax revenues, as well as attention to land use integration and urban design character to
maintain and enhance the City's identity. The project's impacts on biological resources, earth
resources, and solid waste are unavoidable adverse environmental effects of urban ;'cvcicpment xhich
will inevitably result from any feasible project which accomplishes the public policy objectives at
issue.
(4) Mitigation Measures incorporated into the project, as part of the measures
recommended in the EIR and the measures already incorporated into the project application, have
substantialiv lessened the adverse environmental effects of the project. Most effects have been reduced
a 1-e.e1 ^I ..^.$1^riil: y . .`cr nc ..,.........iii. ac ersc not 71e_4,:ccc ' i �' ' _:: c• i.�
mitigation measures identified in the EIR that would further reduce the impacts have been imposed on
the project. In addition,other than Alternative 4, there is no feasible alternative identified in the EIR
that would further reduce the remaining adverse impacts. To the extent that any remaining unavoidable
adverse effects attributed to this project exist, or have not been mitigated to insignificance, such
retraining adverse effects are acceptable in light of the social, economic and other benefits of the
project, as set forth in Section C above, because the project's benefits outweigh those unavoidable
adverse effects.

K-72 A -hiring plan on a large detailed map showing location of shnab and tree p',antinzs and density
shall be submitted for review ty the Fire Department after project approval.
K-73 Defensible Space Concept. Each structure shall be two irrigated planting zones. The first zone
:rust extend outward from the structure's foundation 10 feet. In this zone only lire resistive,
'.ow profile, drought adaptive plantings shall be allo•,ved. In this zone, some shrubs could be
planted if they were isolated (patchy continuity) and limbed up. The next zone shall extend
from 10 to 30 feet out from the foundation or to lot line, whichever is further. In this zone, trees
and shrubs shall be dreug;,t-adactive and :ire resistive. Additicnall,:, trccs s;cuid, be limbeC up
to separate ground vegetation from aerial canopies. Shrubs should be adequateiy spaced to keep
from creating a continuous canopy between ground vegetation and aerial canopy foliage (trees).
K-74 Perimeter Protection. Because of the high fire hazard posed in Badger and Sy canlore Canyons,
a 300' fuel modification zone, beginning at outside edges of individual lot lines, shall be
imposed to ensure that structures built in Planning Arca area are adequate',,.- protected from
radiant heat. Based on recommendations from the fire safety plan (Appendix NI of the Draft
EIR), structures built east of the riparian zone (which is a portion of Planning area 6) or in the
westerly portion of Planning Area 5 (Figure 38 of the Draft EIR) would require significantly
intensified protection beyond that proposed for Level "A". These recommendations must
remain conceptual at this time, until detailed grading and site plans are done. Those plans may
indicate that these concepts need to be modified to allow more lots or fewer lots in some areas.
Figures 41, 42, and 43 of the Draft EIR are illustrations of the conceptual fuel modification
zones and construction limits.
In the remaining perimeter areas of the project, a 100' fuel modification zone beginning at the
outer edges of individual lot lines, will provide adequate protection.
The Riparian corridor must be cleaned up with down-dead fuels removed, and trees must be
limbed up.
A mosaic design should be used in the fuel modification zone design to create more "edge" and
reduce the harsh visual impact.
All fuel modification areas will require maintenance on a regular basis to ensure that the fuel
modification zone is kept functional.
Detailed plans for the configuration, management, and maintenance of vegetation within fuel
modification zones shall be reviewed by a wildland fire safety consultant, submitted to the Fire
Deparcnent and U.S.F.S. for review and approval.
K-75 Roads and Trails. All roads, paths, and trails in flammable vegetative areas shall have 10' on
each side cleared of flammable vegetation and grasses. The main road in the project shall have
20 clearance on each side. Any re-vegetation of these areas shall be per the approved fuel
modification plan.
K-76 Fire/Flood Sequence. The Badger and Sycamore chaparral covered watershed have sufficient
fuel loading, age class to carry a major acreage fire with temperatures sufficient enough to

planned so that it does not contribute to potential erosion.
K-77 Detailed Plans. Detailed ftrel modification and landscape plans shall be submilled after project
approval for Fire Department, and Forest Service rcyiew and approval prior to construction.
K-78 Homeowner Fire Safety Education Manual The o%vner shall produce a hernecwner fire safety
and vegetation maintenance manual which will be given to all purchasers and occupants within
the Paradise Hills project. This manual shall disclose fire risks, and serve to notify the occupant
about fire prevention,wildland fire safety, vegetation management, and ememenc%, procedures.
A copy of the Fire Protection Plan shall be included in the maintenance manual.
K-79 Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, a fuel modification plan and program shall be
approved by the Fire Chief. The plan shall show the special treatment to achieve an acceptable
level of risk in regard to the exposures of structures to flammable vegetation and shall address:
The method of removal and installation, mechanical or hand labor, and provisions for its
continuous maintenance. The approved fuel modification plan shall be installed prior to the
issuance of building permits, under the supervision of the Fire Chief, and completed prior to the
issuance of applicable use and occupancy permits.
K-80 A construction phasing plan shall be submitted to the Fire Department prier to the approval of
each subsequent tentative map for the project. The plan shall show access, fuel modification

K-81 The master developer shall participate,to the extent of its fair share, in a Mello-Roos District, or
other funding district, established in the Verdemont region for the purpose of providing
additional fire protection, in the form of a new fire station, to numerous projects and property
owners.
K-82 Prior to the recordation of a final tract/parcel map, a 12"-wide fire protection access easement to
wildland (open space) shall be approved by the Fire Chief and dedicated to the City of San
Bernardino. The CC&R's shall contain provisions which prohibit obstructions within the fire
protection access easement. Any modifications within the easement, such as speed bumps,
control gates, or changes in parking plan, require the approval of the Fire Chief.
K-83 Prior to the issuance of any certificates of use and occupancy, all fire hydrants shall have a

a. The monitor must be empowered to temporarily halt or re-direct excavation
i
equipment while fossils are being removed. The monitor shall be equipped to
speedily collect specimens if they are encountered.
I' b. The monitor, with assistance if necessary, shall collect individual fossils and/or
samples of fossil-bearing sediments. If specimens of small animal species are
encountered, the most time and cost efficient method of recovery is to remove a
selected volume of fossil-bearing earth from the grading area and stockpile it off-
site for later processing.
c. Fossils recovered during earth-moving or as a result of screen-washing of sediment
samples should be cleaned and prepared sufficiently to allow identification. This
allows the fossils to be described in a report of findings, and reduces the volume of
matrix around specimen prior to storage, thus reducing storage costs.
d. A report of findings shall be prepared and submitted to the City Community
Development Department upon completion of mitigation. This report would
minimally include a statement of the types of paleontologic resources found, the
methods and procedures used to recover them, an inventory of the specimens
recovered,and a statement of their scientific significance.
r e. Any paleontologic specimens recovered as a result of mitigation should be donated
to a qualified scientific institution where they would be afforded long-term
preservation,and can be retrieved for further scientific study.

suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state or federal

remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not

laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions
impractical to enforce.

with Government Code Section 65866, this Agreement shall not
prevent City in subsequent actions applicable to the Property from
applying new rules, regulations and policies which do not conflict
with those existing rules, regulations and policies set forth in

13. Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement. This Agreement
may be amended or canceled in whole or in part only by mutual
consent of the parties in the manner provided for in Government
Code Section 65868.
14. Enforcement. Unless amended or canceled as provided in
Section 13, or modified or suspended pursuant to Government Code
Section 65869.5, this Agreement is enforceable by either party

applicable law or regulation adopted by City (or by the voters of
City unless found by a court of competent and final jurisdiction to
prevail over this Agreement) .
15. Periodic Review of Compliance With Agreement.
15.1 Periodic Review. City and Developer shall review
this Agreement at least once every twelve (12) months from the date
this Agreement is executed. City shall notify Developer in writing
of the date for review at least thirty (30) days prior thereto.
15.2 Good Faith Compliance. During each periodic review,
each party is required to demonstrate good faith compliance with
the terms of this Agreement. Each party agrees to furnish such
reasonable evidence of good faith compliance as the other party, in
the exercise oL its reasonaule u�ocretion, may require.
16. Events of Default.
16.1 Default by Developer. If City determines on the
basis of substantial evidence that Developer has not complied in
good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, City
shall, by written notice to Developer, specify the manner in which
Developer has failed to so comply and state the steps Developer
must take to bring itself into compliance. If, within ninety (90)
VR1A1bXOINNOEVELOP.AGM 8
days after the effective date of notice from City specifying the
manner in which Developer has failed to so comply, Developer does
not commence all steps reasonably necessary to bring itself into
compliance as required and thereafter diligently pursue such steps
to completion, then Developer shall be deemed to be in default
under the terms of this Agreement and City may terminate this
Agreement.
16.2 Default by City. If Developer determines on the
basis of substantial evidence that City has not complied in good
faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Developer
shall, by written notice to City, specify the manner in which City
has failed to so comply and state the steps City must take co bring
itself into compliance. If, within ninety (90) days after the
effective date of notice from Developer specifying the manner in
which City has failed to so comply, City does not commence all
steps reasonably necessary to bring itself into compliance as
required and thereafter diligently pursue such steps to completion,
then City shall be deemed to be in default under the terms of this
Agreement and Developer may terminate this Agreement or seek
specific performance as set forth in Section 16.3.
16.3 Specific Performance Remedy. Due to the nature and
scope of the Project, it will not be practical or possible to
restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation
of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, Developer
may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to utilize the
Property and provide for other benefits. Developer has invested
significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and
processing of the Project in agre-:�'..ng to the terms of this
Agreement and will be investing even more substantial time and
resources in implementing the Project in reliar.:e upon the terms of
this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of
money which would adequately compensate Developer for such efforts.
For the above reasons, City and Developer agree that damages would
not be an adequate remedy if City fails to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, specific performance
of this Agreement is the only remedy which would compensate
Developer if City fails to carry out its obligations under this
Agreement, and City hereby agrees that Developer shall be entitled
to specific performance in the event of a default by City
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Agreement is intended to deprive Developer from recovering
appropriate damages in the event that the terms of this Agreement
are breached. City and Developer acknowledge that, if Developer
fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, City shall
have the right to refuse to issue any permits or other approvals
which Developer would not otherwise have been entitled to pursuant
to this Agreement. Therefore, City's remedy of terminating this
Agreement shall be sufficient in most circumstances if Developer
fails to carry out its obligations hereunder. Nctwithstanding the
foregoing, if City issues a permit or other approval pursuant to
this Agreement in reliance upon a specified condition being
satisfied by Developer in the future, and if Developer then fails
to satisfy such condition, City shall be entitled to specific
performance for the sole purpose of causing Developer to satisfy
such condition. The City's right of specific performance shall be
limited to those circumstances set forth above, and City shall have
no right to seek specific performance to cause Developer to
otherwise proceed with the development of the Project in any
manner.
17. Institution of Legal Action. In addition to any other
rights or remedies, either party may institute legal action to
cure, correct or remedy any default, to enforce any covenants or
agreements herein, to enjoin any threatened or attempted violation
hereof, to recover damages for any default, or to obtain any other
remedies consistent with the purpose of this Agreement. any such
legal action shall be brought in the Superior Court for san
Bernardino County, California.

18. Waivers and Delays.
18.1 Waiver. Failure by a party to insist upon the
strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by
the other parry, and failure by a party to exercise its rights upon
a default by the other party hereto, shall not constitute a waiver
of such party's right to demand strict compliance by such other
party in the future.
18 .2 Third Parties. Nonperformance shall not be excused
because of a failure of a third person excepr as provided in
Section 18.3 below.
18.3 Force Maleure. Neither party shall be deemed to be
in default or failure or delay in performance of any of its
obligations under this Agreement if caused by floods, earthquakes,
other Acts of God, fires, wars, riots or similar hostilities,
strikes, other labor difficulties, government regulations or other
causes beyond either of the parties' control. If any such event
shall occur, the term of this agreement and the time for
performance by Developer of any of its obligations hereunder or
pursuant to the Development Plan shall be extended by the period of
time that such events prevent a construction of the Project.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Common Council
City of San Bernardino
FROM: Dr. James L. Mulvihill , AIC
Director, MUP Program
California State University, S n Bernardino
SUBJECT: Paradise Hills Specific Plan ( 90-03 ) , General
Plan Amendment 91-07 , and Development
Agreement ( 91-03 )
CC : File
DATE: February 1 , 1993
I have also addressed the issues associated with these
documents in several meetings of the Development Review
Committee ( DRC ) , the Planning Commission. I have written
several lengthy memorandums regarding these documents ; one
dated April 19 , 1992 , appears in the Final EIR. The issues I
raise in these memorandums have not been substantively
addressed.
My central concern is this, the City is being asked to
enter into an extremely unfavorable development agreement.
The language of the Development Agreement (DA) cannot be
more clear:
1 ) Vested Rights : The document states, "The parties
hereto acknowledge that Developer' s vested right
to develop 504 single-family residential dwelling
units on the Property is subject to Developer' s
compliance with all provisions of the Development
Plan and the Conditions of Approval imposed by
City in connection with the approval of such
Specific Plan ( Development Agreement ( 91-03 ) ,

Dear Mr. Finn:
Mil IVF.R91TY I am writing with reference to the Paradise Hills project
proposed for the area to the north of California state
RELATIONS University. I understand that it will be reviewed by the
Planning Commission on July 7.
��eso•aoo� on numerous occasions, most recently on June 17, 1992 ,
Mr. Steve Dallinan and his associates have met with Cal
state President Anthony Evans and the university vice
presidents to review the project plans, particularly with
regard to how they might affect the university.
It is our view that the project, as currently proposed,
has the potential to enhance and upgrade the area
surrounding the university. The mix of housing types
along with many planned park-like areas would seem to
address a special housing need in the community.
We have appreciated the opportunity to be informed of the
project ' s progress at regular intervals and we wish to
commend Mr. Dallman and his associates for their efforts
to communicate with the university.
sincerely,
Judith M. Rymer

Date of this Agreement .
8 . Changes in Project Developer shall not be entitled to
any change, modification, revision or alteration in the Development

damage or claims for damage for personal injury including death and
claims for property damage which may arise from the activities of
Developer or those of Developer' s contractors, subcontractors,
agents, employees or other persons acting on Developer' s behalf
which relate to the Project; and (b) any claims, costs and
liability arising as a result of any legal action brought against
City which challenges the validity of this Agreement, the Paradise
Hills Specific Plan, the Project Environmental Impact Report, or
the Project General Plan Amendment or any City proceedings relating
to the approval of any of such documents, or any of the terms and
conditions herein. Nothing in this section shall be construed to

elected representatives, officers, agents and employees .

which may arise from the activities of City or those of City' s
contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees or other persons
acting on City' s behalf which relate to the Project .
10 . Vested Right . By entering into this 'Agreement and
relying thereon_, Developer is obtaining a vested right to proceed
with the Project in accordance with the Development Plan and City
is securing certain public benefits which help to alleviate current
or potential problems in City and enhance the public health, safety
and welfare. With respect to Government Code Section 65865 .2 , the
development regulations governing subsequent discretionary actions
are the ordinances and regulations of City adopted as of the
Agreement Date . Upon submission by Developer of all appropriate
applications for such subsequent discretionary approvals for the
Project, City shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute all
procedures necessary to authorize such approvals . As provided in
Government Code Section 65865 . 2 , any subsequent discretionary
actions by City or any conditions, terms, restrictions and
requirements for such discretionary actions by City shall not
prevent the development of the Project for the uses and to the
maximum density or intensity of development set forth in this
Agreement . City therefore agrees to the following:
13MA286\01R\DEVELOP.AGM 4
g / s
10 . 1 No Conflicting Enactments . Neither the City Council
or City nor any other agency of City shall enact an ordinance,
policy, rule, regulation or other measure applicable to the Project
which relates to the rate, timing or sequencing of the development
or construction of all or any part of the Project or which is
otherwise in conflict with the Project as described in this
Agreement .
10 .2 Intent of Parties . In addition to and not in
limitation of the foregoing, it is the intent of Developer and City
that no moratorium or other limitation (whether relating to the
rate, timing or sequencing of the development or construction of
all or any part of the Project and whether or not enacted by
initiative or otherwise) affecting subdivision maps, building
permits, occupancy certificates or other entitlements to use
approved, issued or granted within City, or portions of City, shall
apply to the Project to the extent such moratorium or other
limitation is in conflict with this Agreement . The foregoing shall
not be deemed to limit the Developer' s right to appeal any
determination of such ordinance, general plan or zoning amendment,
measure, policy, rule, regulation, moratorium or other limitation
which purports to invalidate or prevail over all or any part of
this Agreement . City agrees to cooperate with Developer in all
reasonable manners in order to keep this Agreement in full force
and effect .
10 . 3 Subsequent Review. All subsequent review of
development of the Project shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of Government Code
Section 65865 .4 and 65866 .
11 . General Development of the Project .
11 . 1 Project . While this Agreement is in effect,
Developer shall have a vested right to develop the Project in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
City shall have the right to control the development of the Project
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement .
Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, the Development
Plan shall control the overall design, development and construction
of the Project . The permitted uses of the Property, the density
and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed
buildings, the provision for reservation and dedication of land for
public purposes and other terms and conditions of development
applicable to the Property shall be those set forth in the
Development Plan. The parties hereto acknowledge that Developer' s
vested right to develop 504 single-family residential dwelling
units on the Property is subject to Developer' s compliance with all
provisions of the Development Plan, including the Paradise Hills
Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (the "EIR" ) , the
EIR Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, Paradise Hills
Specific Plan, and the Conditions of Approval imposed by City in
connection with the approval of such Specific Plan.
11 .2 Phasing and Timing of Development . The parties
acknowledge that although Developer currently anticipates that the
Project will be phased and constructed in increments over an
approximately fifteen (15) year time frame, at the present time
Developer cannot predict when or the order in which Project phases
will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors
which are not within the control of Developer, such as market
orientation and demand, interest rates, competition and other
similar factors . To the extent permitted by the Development Plan
and this Agreement, Developer shall have the right to develop the
Project in phases in such order and at such times as Developer
deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business
judgment so long as the Project is constructed as an integrated
mixed-use master-planned single-family residential community as
contemplated by the Development Plan. City agrees that Developer
shall be entitled to apply for and receive tentative tract maps,
vesting tentative tract maps, building permits, occupancy
certificates and other entitlements to use at any time, in as

24 adopting the Paradise Hills Specific Plan (SP NO. 90-03) , General
25 Plan Amendment No. 91-07 , and Development Agreement No. 91-03 . The

i
1 (Exhibits D, E, F, G, and G-1 of the February 1, 1993 and February
2 15, 1993 Mayor and Common Council Staff Report) and incorporated
3 herein by reference. Attachment 1 consists of the following
4 documents:
5 Exhibit D - Draft Environmental Impact Report (July 1991)
6 Exhibit E - Draft Environmental Impact Report Technical
7 Appendicies (July 1991)
8 Exhibit F - Final Environmental Impact Report
9 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
10 Exhibit G - Appendix G to Final Environmental Impact Report
11 Exhibit G-1 - Biology Correspondence;
12 (C) The Findings contained in the Statements of Overriding
13 Consideration with respect to the significant impacts identified in
14 the Final EIR are true and correct, and are based upon substantial
15 evidence in the record, including documents comprising the Final
16 EIR. The Findings and Statements of Overriding Consideration are
17 attached hereto as Attachment 2 and are incorporated herein by
18 reference.
19 (D) The Final Environmental Impact Report, the Mitigation
20 Monitoring/Reporting Program and the Findings and Statements of
21 Overriding Consideration reflect the independent review and
22 analysis and the independent judgement of the City of San

3 environmental effects that would result if Specific Plan No. 90-03 ,
4 General Plan Amendment No. 91-07, and Development Agreement No. 91-
5 03 are adopted, all significant effects that can feasibly be

14 Overriding Consideration.
15 (H) The Mayor and Common Council have given great weight to
16 the significant unavoidable adverse environmental impacts. The
17 Mayor and Common Council find that the significant unavoidable
18 adverse impacts are clearly outweighed by the economic, social and
19 other benefits of the Specific Plan, the General Plan Amendment,
20 and the Development Agreement as set forth in the Findings and
21 Statements of Overriding Considerations.

2 character which will be compatible with existing and proposed
3 development in the surrounding area in that the Specific Plan will
4 be implemented subject to the requirements contained therein.
5 (C) The Specific Plan area, including the General Plan
6 Amendment area, is physically suitable for the requested land use
7 designation and the anticipated development as analyzed in the
8 Final Environmental Impact Report, which determined the development
9 desirable and appropriate for the area; all public services and
10 infrastructure are available to the project area and any
11 development permissible under the Specific Plan would not impact on
12 these facilities.
13 (D) The proposed plan will ensure development of a desirable

15 development in that the policies established by the Plan are
16 intended to encourage high quality development of a nature
17 consistent with surrounding developments.

14 further environmental review.
15 (C) General Plan Amendment No. 91-07 will not impact the
16 balance of land uses within the City. Although the amendment will
17 result in a higher development density in the foothill areas of the
18 project site, the potential overall theoretical number of units
19 obtainable for the project site will not change.
20 (D) The subject land use is physically suitable for the RS,
21 Residential Suburban land use designation in that the access and
22 the provision of services and utilities will occur as outlined in
23 the related Specific Plan. The designation will accommodate the

11.2 Phasing and Timing of Development. The parties
acknowledge that although Developer currently anticipates that the
Project will be phased and constructed in increments over an
approximately twenty (20) year time frame, at the present time
Developer cannot predict when or the order in which Project phases
will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors
which are not within the control of Developer, such as market
orientation and demand, interest rates, competition and other
similar factors. To the extent permitted by the Development Plan
and this Agreement, Developer shall have the right to develop the
Project in phases in such order and at such times as Developer
deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business
judgment so long as the Project is constructed as an integrated
mixed-use master-planned single-family residential community as
contemplated by the Development Plan. City agrees that Developer
shall be entitled to apply for and receive tentative tract maps,

except as provided in Section 12 . 1. In connection with any
approval which City is permitted or has the right to make under
this Agreement relating to the Project, or otherwise under its
other rules, regulations and official policies, City shall exercise
its discretion to take action in a manner which is as expeditious
as possible and which complies and is consistent with the
Development Plan and the standards, terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement, and in a manner which will not interfere with
the development of the Project for the uses and to the height,
density and intensity specified in this Agreement or with the rate
of development selected by Developer. City shall accept for
processing and timely review and act on all applications for
further land use entitlement approvals with respect to the Project
called for or required under this Agreement in as expeditious a
manner as is possible. Such application shall be processed in the

11.4 Administrative Changes and Amendments . The parties
acknowledge that refinements and further development of the Project

details and performance of the parties under this Agreement. The
parties desire to retain a certain degree of flexibility with
respect to the details of the Project development and with respect
to those items covered in general terms under this Agreement. If
and when the parties find that changes or adjustments are necessary
or appropriate, they shall, unless otherwise required by law,

12\R\A286\01 R\DEVELOP.AGM 6
facilities district including the Property for the purpose of
acquiring, constructing and financing through the sale of bonds the
acquisition and construction of certain public facilities which are
necessary to meet increased demands placed on City as a result of
the development of Developer' s Property. Alternatively, or in
addition thereto, Developer may request that City initiate and
complete proceedings under the Municipal Improvement Act of 1911,
the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 , the Improvement Bond Act of
1915, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 , or any and all
other available financing mechanisms to provide public conduit
financing for the construction of public improvements on the
Property. If so requested by Developer, City shall cooperate with
Developer and use its best efforts in taking all steps necessary to
cause the community facilities district or other entity to issue
bonds for such purposes .
11. 6 Consistency Between This Agreement and Current Laws .
City represents that there are no rules, regulations, ordinances or
official policies of City enforced as of the date of execution of
this Agreement that would interfere with the completion or use of
the Project.
11 . 7 Assessments and Fees . It is the intent of the
parties that Developer shall pay all development fees currently
applicable to the Project and that the amount of such fees shall be
set at the time such fees are otherwise due or payable.
Accordingly, City shall not, without the prior written consent of
Developer, impose any additional assessment or fee applicable to
the Project or any portion thereof, or impose any additional fees
as a condition to the implementation of the Project or any portion
thereof, except those assessments and fees in effect on the
Agreement Date as set forth on Exhibit "C" (collectively,
"Applicable Fees") . Notwithstanding the foregoing; (a) Applicable
Fees payable to City shall be paid at rates applicable on the date
said fees are otherwise due and payable; and (b) the City may,
without the prior written consent of Developer, impose assessments
or fees applicable to the Project which are: (i) of general
application to all single family residential property situated in
the City, i.e. City-wide assessments or fees; and (ii) not
specifically designed to apply to the Project to the exclusion of
other single family residential property then situated in the City.
11. 8 Subsequent Actions . City shall timely process, in
as expeditious a manner as possible for processing such matters,
any necessary entitlements to use, including parcel maps, vesting
tentative tract maps, tentative tract maps, conditional use
permits, or other discretionary approvals or entitlements to use
contemplated by the Project, and any grading, construction or other
permits filed by Developer in accordance with the substantive
development standards set forth in the Development Plan. The term
of any tentative map filed for the Property, or any portion
thereof, within the term of this Agreement shall automatically be
extended for the term of this Agreement.
11 . 9 Reimbursement To Developer.
A. Developer, in order to develop the Project and
to mitigate certain impacts resulting therefrom, will have to
comply with the Conditions of Approval for Specific Plan for the
Project.
B. For those public improvements or facilities
( "Facilities" ) designed, constructed or installed by Developer
which benefit not only the Property, but also property in addition
to the Property ( "Benefitting Properties" ) a reimbursement
agreement (the "Reimbursement Agreement") shall be executed by the
City and Developer.
C. The Reimbursement Agreement shall : (a) be in
form and substance identical to Exhibit "D" attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference; and (b) provide for
reimbursement to Developer when: (i) an Engineering Benefit Zone
Study ( "EBZ Study" ) prepared pursuant hereto shows that, with
12\R\A286\O1R\DEVELOP.AGM 7
respect to any public improvement or facility designed, constructed
or installed by Developer, there exists Benefitting Properties; or
(ii) Developer is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to City
ordinances, resolutions and policies, e.g. , reimbursement for
certain water, sewer and storm facilities .
D. City shall, from time to time, at the request
of Developer and at Developer' s expense, cause an EBZ Study with
respect to one or more of the Facilities to be prepared and, after
review and acceptance by the City of the EBZ Study, shall enter
into Reimbursement Agreements with Developer with respect to the
Benefitted Properties identified in such Study.
12 . Rules Regulations and Official Policies .
12 . 1 New Rules. This Agreement shall not prevent City
from applying new rules, regulations and policies relating to
Uniform Codes such as the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Electrical
Code, Uniform Mechanical Code or Uniform Fire Code, which:
(a) relate to public safety; (b) are based on recommendations of a
multi-state professional organization; and (c) become applicable
throughout City.
12 .2 New Laws . In the event that state or federal laws
or regulations, enacted after this Agreement is executed, prevent
or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or
suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state or federal
laws or regulations; provided, however, that this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not
inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such
laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions
impractical to enforce.
12 . 3 Subsequent Actions and Approvals . In accordance
with Government Code Section 65866, this Agreement shall not
prevent City in subsequent actions applicable to the Property from
applying new rules, regulations and policies which do not conflict
with those existing rules, regulations and policies set forth in
the Development Plan, nor shall this Agreement prevent City from
denying or conditionally approving any subsequent development
project application on the basis of such existing or new rules,
regulations or policies; provided that Developer' s vested right to
develop the Project pursuant to Section 10 above is not impaired by
any such actions or applications by the City.
13 . Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement. This Agreement
may be amended or canceled in whole or in part only by mutual
consent of the parties in the manner provided for in Government
Code Section 65868 .
14 . Enforcement . Unless amended or canceled as provided in
Section 13 , or modified or suspended pursuant to Government Code
Section 65869 . 5, this Agreement is enforceable by either party
hereto notwithstanding any change in any applicable general or
specific plan, zoning, subdivision or building regulation or other
applicable law or regulation adopted by City (or by the voters of
City unless found by a court of competent and final jurisdiction to
prevail over this Agreement) .
15 . Periodic Review of Compliance With Agreement .
15 . 1 Periodic Review. City and Developer shall review
this Agreement at least once every twelve (12) months from the date
this Agreement is executed. City shall notify Developer in writing
of the date for review at least thirty (30) days prior thereto.
15 .2 Good Faith Compliance. During each periodic review,
each party is required to demonstrate good faith compliance with
the terms of this Agreement. Each party agrees to furnish such
reasonable evidence of good faith compliance as the other party, in
the exercise of its reasonable discretion, may require.
12\R\A286\01 R\DEVELOP.AGM 8
16 . Events of Default .
16 . 1 Default by Developer. If City determines on the
basis of substantial evidence that Developer has not complied in
good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, City
shall, by written notice to Developer, specify the manner in which
Developer has failed to so comply and state the steps Developer
must take to bring itself into compliance. If, within ninety (90)
days after the effective date of notice from City specifying the
manner in which Developer has failed to so comply, Developer does
not commence all steps reasonably necessary to bring itself into
compliance as required and thereafter diligently pursue such steps
to completion, then Developer shall be deemed to be in default
under the terms of this Agreement and City may terminate this
Agreement .
16 .2 Default by City. If Developer determines on the
basis of substantial evidence that City has not complied in good
faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Developer
shall, by written notice to City, specify the manner in which City
has failed to so comply and state the steps City must take to bring
itself into compliance. If, within ninety (90) days after the
effective date of notice from Developer specifying the manner in
which City has failed to so comply, City does not commence all
steps reasonably necessary to bring itself into compliance as
required and thereafter diligently pursue such steps to completion,
then City shall be deemed to be in default under the terms of this
Agreement and Developer may terminate this Agreement or seek
specific performance as set forth in Section 16 .3 .
16 .3 Specific Performance Remedy. Due to the nature and
scope of the Project, it will not be practical or possible to
restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation
of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, Developer
may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to utilize the
Property and provide for other benefits . Developer has invested
significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and
processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms of this
Agreement and will be investing even more substantial time and
resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of
this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of
money which would adequately compensate Developer for such efforts.
For the above reasons, City and Developer agree that damages would
not be an adequate remedy if City fails to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, specific performance
of this Agreement is the only remedy which would compensate
Developer if City fails to carry out its obligations under this
Agreement, and City hereby agrees that Developer shall be entitled
to specific performance in the event of a default by City
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Agreement is intended to deprive Developer from recovering
appropriate damages in the event that the terms of this Agreement
are breached. City and Developer acknowledge t1iat, if Developer
fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, City shall
have the right to refuse to issue any permits or other approvals
which Developer would not otherwise have been entitled to pursuant
to this Agreement . Therefore, City' s remedy of terminating this
Agreement shall be sufficient in most circumstances if Developer
fails to carry out its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if City issues a permit or other approval pursuant to
this Agreement in reliance upon a specified condition being
satisfied by Developer in the future, and if Developer then fails
to satisfy such condition, City shall be entitled to specific
performance for the sole purpose of causing Developer to satisfy
such condition. The City' s right of specific performance shall be
limited to those circumstances set forth above, and City shall have
no right to seek specific performance to cause Developer to
otherwise proceed with the development of the Project in any
manner.
17 . Institution of Legal Action. In addition to any other
rights or remedies, either party may institute legal action to
cure, correct or remedy any default, to enforce any covenants or
12\R\A286\01 R\DE V ELOP.AGM 9
j
agreements herein, to enjoin any threatened or attempted violation
hereof, to recover damages for any default, or to obtain any other
remedies consistent with the purpose of this Agreement . Any such
legal action shall be brought in the Superior Court for San
Bernardino County, California.
18 . Waivers and Delays .
18 . 1 Waiver. Failure by a party to insist upon the
strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by
the other party, and failure by a party to exercise its rights upon
a default by the other party hereto, shall not constitute a waiver
of such party' s right to demand strict compliance by such other
party in the future.
18 .2 Third Parties . Nonperformance shall not be excused
because of a failure of a third person except as provided in
Section 18 . 3 below.
18 .3 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be deemed to be
in default or failure or delay in performance of any of its
obligations under this Agreement if caused by floods, earthquakes,
other Acts of God, fires, wars, riots or similar hostilities,
strikes, other labor difficulties, government regulations or other
causes beyond either of the parties' control . If any such event
shall occur, the term of this Agreement and the time for
performance by Developer of any of its obligations hereunder or
pursuant to the Development Plan shall be extended by the period of
time that such events prevent a construction of the Project.
19 . Notices. All notices required or provided for under this
Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person and deposited
in the United States mail, postage prepaid and addressed as
follows:
TO CITY: City of San Bernardino
300 N. "D" Street - 6th Floor
San Bernardino, California 92418
Attn: Director of Development

in writing, to the other party and thereafter notices shall be
addressed and submitted to the new address.
20 . Attorney' s Fees. If legal action is brought by either
party against the other for breach of this Agreement, or to compel
performance under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
21. Transfers and Assignments.
21. 1 Right to Assign. Developer shall have the right to
sell, assign or transfer this Agreement, and any and all of its
rights, duties and obligations hereunder, to any person or entity
at any time during the term of this Agreement, provided, however,
in no event shall the rights, duties and obligations conferred upon
Developer pursuant to this Agreement be at any time so transferred
or assigned except through a transfer of an interest of Developer
in the Property, or portion thereof, so transferred. In the event
of any such assignment, either the transferee or Developer shall be
liable for the performance of all obligations of Developer. Such
transferee or Developer shall notify City in writing of the
transfer of such obligations within thirty (30) days of the
effective date of the transfer.
21 .2 Release Upon Transfer. Upon the sale, transfer or
assignment of Developer' s rights and interest under this Agreement
12\R\A286\01R\DEVEL0P.AGM 10
as permitted pursuant to Section 21 . 1, Developer shall be released
from its obligations under this Agreement and all of owner' s
obligations pursuant to the Development Plan, or other agreements
assumed by transferee with respect to the Property, or portion
thereof, so transferred provided that: (a) Developer is not then in
default under the Agreement; (b) Developer or transferee has
provided the City notice of such transfer; and (c) the transferee
executes and delivers to City a written agreement in which: (i) the
name and address of the transferee is set forth; and (ii) the
transferee expressly and unconditionally assumes all of the
obligations of Developer under this Agreement with respect to the
Property, or a portion thereof, so transferred.
Notwithstanding Section 5 and Section 21. 1 of this
Agreement, in the event that any person or entity ( "Property
Purchaser" ) , purchases a portion of the Property (the "Purchased
Parcel" ) and the Property Purchaser and the City Execute and record
a development agreement pertaining to the Purchased Parcel, then at
the time when such development agreement is recorded, this
Agreement shall cease to apply to the Purchased Parcel and the
owner of the Purchased Parcel, as such, shall have no rights or
obligations under this Agreement, and Developer hereunder shall be
released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to
the Purchased Parcel as provided in this Section 21.2 but without
any requirement to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section
21.2 (a) , (b) and (c) .
22 . Cooperation in the Event of Legal Challenge. In the
event of any legal action instituted by a third party or other
governmental entity or official challenging the validity of any
provision of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree to cooperate
in defending such action. Each party shall pay its own expenses in
connection with such defense. In the event of any litigation
challenging the effectiveness of this Agreement, or any portion
hereof, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while
such litigation, including any appellate review, is pending.
23 . Eminent Domain. No provision of his Agreement shall be
construed to limit or restrict the exercise by City of its power of
eminent domain.
24 . Authority to Execute. The person or persons executing
this Agreement on behalf of Developer warrant and represent that
they have the authority to execute this Agreement on behalf of
their corporation, partnership or business entity and warrant and
represent that they have the authority to bind Developer to the
performance of its obligations hereunder.
25 . Recordation. This Agreement and any amendment or
cancellation hereto shall be recorded in the Office of Official
Records of the County of San Bernardino, by the City Clerk within
the period required by Section 65868 . 5 of the Government Code.
26 . Protection of Mortgage Holders . Developer and City agree
that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit Developer, in any
manner, at Developer' s sole discretion, from encumbering the
Property or any portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any
mortgage, deed of trust or other security device securing financing
with respect to the Property. City acknowledges that the lenders
providing such financing ( "Mortgagees") may require certain
Agreement interpretations and modifications and agrees upon
request, from time to time, to meet with Developer and
representatives of such Mortgagees to negotiate in good faith any
such request for interpretation or modification. City will not
unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requested
interpretation or modification provided such interpretation or
modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of this
Agreement. Any Mortgagee of all or any portion of the Property
shall be entitled to the following rights and privileges:
(a) Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of
this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish or
impair the lien of any mortgage on all or any portion of the
12\R\A286\01 R\DEVELOP.AGM 11
Property made in good faith and for value, unless otherwise
required by law.
(b) Any Mortgagee of a mortgage or deed of trust
encumbering all or any portion of the Property which has
submitted a request in writing to the City in the manner
specified herein for giving notices shall be entitled to
receive written notification from City of any default by
Developer in the performance of Developer' s obligations under
this Agreement.
(c) If City timely receives a request from a Mortgagee
requesting a copy of any notice of default given to Developer
under the terms of this Agreement, City shall provide a copy
of that notice to the Mortgagee within ten (10) days of
sending the notice of default to Developer. The Mortgagee
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the
default during the remaining cure period allowed such party
under this Agreement .
(d) Any Mortgagee who comes into possession of all or
any portion of the Property, pursuant to foreclosure of the
mortgage or deed of trust, or deed in lieu of such
foreclosure, shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject
to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgagee
shall have an obligation or duty under this Agreement to
perform any of Developer' s obligations or other affirmative
covenants of Developer hereunder, or to guarantee such
performance; provided, however, that to the extent that any
covenant to be performed by Developer is a condition precedent
to the performance of a covenant by City, the performance
thereof shall continue to be a condition precedent to City' s
performance hereunder, and further provided that any sale,
transfer or assignment by any Mortgagee in possession shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 21 of this Agreement.
27. Severability of Terms . If any term, provision, covenant
or condition of this Agreement shall be determined invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be
affected thereby to the extent such remaining provisions are not
rendered impractical to enforce.
28 . Subsequent Amendment to Authorizing Statute. This
Agreement has been entered into in reliance upon the provisions of
the Development Agreement Law in effect as of the Agreement Date.
Accordingly, to the extent the subsequent amendment to the
Government Code would affect the provisions of this Agreement, such
amendment shall not be applicable to the Agreement unless necessary
for this Agreement to be enforceable or unless this Agreement is
modified pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Agreement and
Government Code Section 65868 as in effect on the Agreement Date.
29 . Section Headings. All section headings and subheadings
are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect any
construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

12\R\A286\01 R\DEV ELOP.AGM 12
32 . Effect on Title. Developer and City agree that this
Agreement shall not create an encumbrance on any portion of the
Property which is sold to an ultimate user of all or any portion of

(including, without limitation, residents of City) and Developer as
set forth in this section. City and Developer agree that certain
assurances on the part of each party as to the Project will be
necessary to achieve those desired benefits .
3 . 1 Benefits to City. The benefits to City (including,
without limitation, the residents of City) under this Agreement
include, but are not limited to: (a) improvements to roadways;
(b) the payment of fees for the construction of public facilities
and services; (c) an increase in property tax revenues and sales
tax revenues to be derived by the City; (d) the creation of jobs
within the City; (e) the creation of a master-planned single family
residential community which will enhance the image of the City and
its ability to attract new employers; (f) the creation of a unique
public park with an educational and environmental theme; and (g)
the preservation of approximately one hundred seventy-five (175)
acres of open space within the City.
3 .2 Benefits to Developer. Developer has expended and
will continue to expend substantial amounts of time and money on
the planning and infrastructure construction of the Project. In
addition, Developer will expend substantial amounts of time and
money in constructing public improvements and facilities and in
providing for public services in connection with the Project .
Developer would not make such additional expenditures without this
Agreement and such additional expenditures will be made in reliance
upon this Agreement. The benefit to Developer under this Agreement
consists of the assurance that Developer will preserve the right to
develop the Project.
4 . Interest of Developer. Developer represents that
Developer is the fee owner of the Property.
5 . Binding Effect of Agreement . The burdens of this
Agreement bind and the benefits of this Agreement inure to the
successors in interest of the parties thereto.
6 . Project as a Private Undertaking. It is specifically
understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that the
development of the Project is a private development, that neither
party is acting as the agent of the other in any respect hereunder,
and that each party is an independent contracting entity with
respect to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this
Agreement. No partnership, joint venture or other association of
any kind is formed by this Agreement. The only relationship
between City and Developer is that of a government entity
10/R\A286\O1 R\DEVELOP.AOM 3
regulating the development of private property by the owner of such
property.
7. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the
Effective Date and shall continue until all permits and approvals
required to complete the development of the Project as contemplated
by the Development Plan have been issued, provided that in no event
shall such term exceed twenty (20) years following the Effective
Date of this Agreement.
8 . Changes in Project . Developer shall not be entitled to
any change, modification, revision or alteration in the Development
Plan relating to the permitted uses of the Property, the density or
intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings
or the provision for reservation or dedication of land for public
purposes without review and approval by the City. Subject to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8, City acknowledges that
Developer may seek new entitlements to use and amendments to
entitlements to use in connection with the development of the
Project. The approval of any such amendments or new entitlements
to use shall be in the sole discretion of the City in the manner
described in 11.4 .
9 . Hold Harmless .
9 . 1 By Developer. Developer agrees to and shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers,
agents, employees, and representatives from: (a) liability for
damage or claims for damage for personal injury including death and
claims for property damage which may arise from the activities of
Developer or those of Developer' s contractors, subcontractors,
agents, employees or other persons acting on Developer' s behalf
which relate to the Project; and (b) any claims, costs and
liability arising as a result of any legal action brought against
City which challenges the validity of this Agreement, the Paradise
Hills Specific Plan, the Project Environmental Impact Report, or
the Project General Plan Amendment or any City proceedings relating
to the approval of any of such documents, or any of the terms and
conditions herein. Nothing in this section shall be construed to
mean that Developer shall hold City harmless and defend it from any
claims of personal injury, death or property damage arising from,
or alleged to arise from, the negligence, or any deliberately
harmful act, willful or gross negligence on the part of City, its
elected representatives, officers, agents and employees.
9 .2 By City. City agrees to and shall hold harmless
Developer, its officers, agents, employees, partners and
representatives from liability for damage or claims for damage for
personal injury including death and claims for property damage
which may arise from the activities of City or those of City' s
contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees or other persons
acting on City' s behalf which relate to the Project .
10 . Vested Right . By entering into this Agreement and
relying thereon, Developer is obtaining a vested right to proceed
with the Project in accordance with the Development Plan and City
is securing certain public benefits which help to alleviate current
or potential problems in City and enhance the public health, safety
and welfare. With respect to Government Code Section 65865 .2 , the
development regulations governing subsequent discretionary actions
are the ordinances and regulations of City adopted as of the
Agreement Date. Upon submission by Developer of all appropriate
applications for such subsequent discretionary approvals for the
Project, City shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute all
procedures necessary to authorize such approvals . As provided in
Government Code Section 65865 .2, any subsequent discretionary
actions by City or any conditions, terms, restrictions and
requirements for such discretionary actions by City shall not
prevent the development of the Project for the uses and to the
maximum density or intensity of development set forth in this
Agreement . City therefore agrees to the following:
10/R\A286\O1R\DEVELOP.AOM 4
10 . 1 No Conflicting Enactments . Neither the City Council
or City nor any other agency of City shall enact an ordinance,
policy, rule, regulation or other measure applicable to the Project
which relates to the rate, timing or sequencing of the development
or construction of all or any part of the Project or which is
otherwise in conflict with the Project as described in this
Agreement .
10 .2 Intent of Parties . In addition to and not in
limitation of the foregoing, it is the intent of Developer and City
that no moratorium or other limitation (whether relating to the
rate, timing or sequencing of the development or construction of
all or any part of the Project and whether or not enacted by
initiative or otherwise) affecting subdivision maps, building
permits, occupancy certificates or other entitlements to use
approved, issued or granted within City, or portions of City, shall
apply to the Project to the extent such moratorium or other
limitation is in conflict with this Agreement. The foregoing shall
not be deemed to limit the Developer' s right to appeal any
determination of such ordinance, general plan or zoning amendment,
measure, policy, rule, regulation, moratorium or other limitation
which purports to invalidate or prevail over all or any part of
this Agreement. City agrees to cooperate with Developer in all
reasonable manners in order to keep this Agreement in full force
and effect .
10 . 3 Subsequent Review. All subsequent review of
development of the Project shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of Government Code
Section 65865 .4 and 65866 .
11. General Development of the Project .
11. 1 Project. While this Agreement is in effect,
Developer shall have a vested right to develop the Project in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
City shall have the right to control the development of the Project
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement .
Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, the Development
Plan shall control the overall design, development and construction
of the Project. The permitted uses of the Property, the density
and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed
buildings, the provision for reservation and dedication of land for
public purposes and other terms and conditions of development
applicable to the Property shall be those set forth in the
Development Plan. The parties hereto acknowledge that Developer' s
vested right to develop 504 single-family residential dwelling
units on the Property is subject to Developer' s compliance with all
provisions of the Development Plan, including the Paradise Hills
Specific Plan and the Conditions of Approval imposed by City in
connection with the approval of such Specific Plan.
11.2 Phasing and Timing of Development . The parties
acknowledge that although Developer currently anticipates that the
Project will be phased and constructed in increments over an
approximately twenty (20) year time frame, at the present time
Developer cannot predict when or the order in which Project phases
will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors
which are not within the control of Developer, such as market
orientation and demand, interest rates, competition and other
similar factors . To the extent permitted by the Development Plan
and this Agreement, Developer shall have the right to develop the
Project in phases in such order and at such times as Developer
deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business
judgment so long as the Project is constructed as an integrated
mixed-use master-planned single-family residential community as
contemplated by the Development Plan. City agrees that Developer
shall be entitled to apply for and receive tentative tract maps,
vesting tentative tract maps, building permits, occupancy
certificates and other entitlements to use at any time, in as
expeditious a manner as possible provided that such application is
made in accordance with the Development Plan.
10/R\A286\01R\DEVELOP.AGM 5
11. 3 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations . The
rules, regulations and official policies governing permitted uses
of the Property, the density and intensity of use of the Property,
the maximum height and size of proposed buildings and the design,
improvement and construction standards and specifications
applicable to development of the Property are those rules,
regulations and official policies in force as of the Agreement Date
except as provided in Section 12 . 1. In connection with any
approval which City is permitted or has the right to make under
this Agreement relating to the Project, or otherwise under its
other rules, regulations and official policies, City shall exercise
its discretion to take action in a manner which is as expeditious
as possible and which complies and is consistent with the
Development Plan and the standards, terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement, and in a manner which will not interfere with
the development of the Project for the uses and to the height,
density and intensity specified in this Agreement or with the rate
of development selected by Developer. City shall accept for
processing and timely review and act on all applications for
further land use entitlement approvals with respect to the Project
called for or required under this Agreement in as expeditious a
manner as is possible. Such application shall be processed in the
normal manner for processing such matters.
11 .4 Administrative Changes and Amendments . The parties
acknowledge that refinements and further development of the Project
may demonstrate that changes are appropriate with respect to the
details and performance of the parties under this Agreement . The
parties desire to retain a certain degree of flexibility with
respect to the details of the Project development and with respect
to those items covered in general terms under this Agreement . If
and when the parties find that changes or adjustments are necessary
or appropriate, they shall, unless otherwise required by law,
effectuate such changes or adjustments through administrative
amendments approved by the City Director of Community Development,
which, after execution, shall be attached hereto as an addenda and
become a part hereof, and may be further changed and amended from
time to time as necessary, with approval by City and Developer.
Any such administrative changes or amendments shall not be deemed
to be an amendment to this Agreement under Government Code Section
65868, and unless otherwise required by law, no such administrative
amendments shall require prior notice or hearing. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the following matters shall not be considered
administrative changes or amendments, but shall be considered
substantive amendments which shall be reviewed by the Planning
Commission and approved by the City Council :
(a) Alteration of the permitted uses of the Property;
(b) Increase in the density or intensity of use or the
number of lots;
buildings; (c) Increase in the maximum height and size in permitted
(d) Deletion of a requirement for the reservation or
dedication of land for public purposes except for minor boundary
adjustments approved by the City Director of Community Development;
and
(e) Any amendment or change requiring a subsequent or
supplemental environmental impact report pursuant to California
Public Resources Code Section 21166 .
11 . 5 Mello-Roos Community Facilities District; Other
Assessment District or Financing Mechanisms. Pursuant to Chapter
2 . 5 (commencing with Section 53312) Part I, Division 2 , Title 5 of
the Government Code, commonly known as the "Mello-Roos Community
Facility Act of 198211 , Developer may, at its sole election,
petition the City Council of City to establish a community
facilities district including the Property for the purpose of
acquiring, constructing and financing through the sale of bonds the
acquisition and construction of certain public facilities which are
10/R\A286\01R\DEVELOP.AOM 6
necessary to meet increased demands placed on City as a result of
the development of Developer' s Property. Alternatively, or in
addition thereto, Developer may request that City initiate and
complete proceedings under the Municipal Improvement Act of 1911,
the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 , the Improvement Bond Act of
1915, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 , or any and all
other available financing mechanisms to provide public conduit
financing for the construction of public improvements on the
Property. If so requested by Developer, City shall cooperate with
Developer and use its best efforts in taking all steps necessary to
cause the community facilities district or other entity to issue
bonds for such purposes.
11 . 6 Consistency Between This Agreement and Current Laws .
City represents that there are no rules, regulations, ordinances or
official policies of City enforced as of the date of execution of
this Agreement that would interfere with the completion or use of
the Project .
11 . 7 Assessments and Fees. It is the intent of the
parties that Developer shall pay all development fees currently
applicable to the Project and that the amount of such fees shall be
set at the time such fees are otherwise due or payable.
Accordingly, City shall not, without the prior written consent of
Developer, impose any additional assessment or fee applicable to
the Project or any portion thereof, or impose any additional fees
as a condition to the implementation of the Project or any portion
thereof, except those assessments and fees in effect on the
Agreement Date as set forth on Exhibit "C" (collectively,
"Applicable Fees" ) . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Applicable Fees
payable to City shall be paid at rates applicable on the date said
fees are otherwise due and payable.
11 . 8 Subsequent Actions . City shall timely process, in
as expeditious a manner as possible for processing such matters,
any necessary entitlements to use, including parcel maps, vesting
tentative tract maps, tentative tract maps, conditional use
permits, or other discretionary approvals or entitlements to use
contemplated by the Project, and any grading, construction or other
permits filed by Developer in accordance with the substantive
development standards set forth in the Development Plan. The term
of any tentative map filed for the Property, or any portion
thereof, within the term of this Agreement shall automatically be
extended for the term of this Agreement .
11 .9 Reimbursement To Developer.
A. Developer, in order to develop the Project and
to mitigate certain impacts resulting therefrom, will have to
comply with the Conditions of Approval for Specific Plan for the
Project.
B. For those public improvements or facilities
( "Facilities" ) designed, constructed or installed by Developer
which benefit not only the Property, but also property in addition
to the Property ( "Benefitting Properties") a reimbursement
agreement (the "Reimbursement Agreement" ) shall be executed by the
City and Developer.
C. The Reimbursement Agreement shall : (a) be in
form and substance identical to Exhibit "D" attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference; and (b) provide for
reimbursement to Developer when: (i) an Engineering Benefit Zone
Study ( "EBZ Study") prepared pursuant hereto shows that, with
respect to any public improvement or facility designed, constructed
or installed by Developer, there exists Benefitting Properties; or
(ii) Developer is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to City
ordinances, resolutions and policies, e.g. , reimbursement for
certain water, sewer and storm facilities .
D. City shall, from time to time, at the request
of Developer and at Developer' s expense, cause an EBZ Study with
respect to one or more of the Facilities to be prepared and, after
10/R\A286\01 R\DEV ELOP.AGM 7
review and acceptance by the City of the EBZ Study, shall enter
into Reimbursement Agreements with Developer with respect to the
Benefitted Properties identified in such Study.
12 . Rules , Regulations and Official Policies .
12 . 1 New Rules. This Agreement shall not prevent City
from applying new rules, regulations and policies relating to
Uniform Codes such as the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Electrical
Code, Uniform Mechanical Code or Uniform Fire Code, which:
(a) relate to public safety; (b) are based on recommendations of a
multi-state professional organization; and (c) become applicable
throughout City.
12 .2 New Laws . In the event that state or federal laws
or regulations, enacted after this Agreement is executed, prevent
or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or
suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state or federal
laws or regulations; provided, however, that this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not
inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such
laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions
impractical to enforce.
12 . 3 Subsequent Actions and Approvals . In accordance
with Government Code Section 65866, this Agreement shall not
prevent City in subsequent actions applicable to the Property from
applying new rules, regulations and policies which do not conflict
with those existing rules, regulations and policies set forth in
the Development Plan, nor shall this Agreement prevent City from
denying or conditionally approving any subsequent development
project application on the basis of such existing or new rules,
regulations or policies; provided that Developer' s vested right to
develop the Project pursuant to Section 10 above is not impaired by
any such actions or applications by the City.
13 . Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement . This Agreement
may be amended or canceled in whole or in part only by mutual
consent of the parties in the manner provided for in Government
Code Section 65868 .
14 . Enforcement . Unless amended or canceled as provided in
Section 13, or modified or suspended pursuant to Government Code
Section 65869 .5, this Agreement is enforceable by either party
hereto notwithstanding any change in any applicable general or
specific plan, zoning, subdivision or building regulation or other
applicable law or regulation adopted by City (or by the voters of
City unless found by a court of competent and final jurisdiction to
prevail over this Agreement) .
15 . Periodic Review of Compliance With Agreement.
15 . 1 Periodic Review. City and Developer shall review
this Agreement at least once every twelve (12) months from the date
this Agreement is executed. City shall notify Developer in writing
of the date for review at least thirty (30) days prior thereto.
15 .2 Good Faith Compliance. During each periodic review,
each party is required to demonstrate good faith compliance with
the terms of this Agreement . Each party agrees to furnish such
reasonable evidence of good faith compliance as the other party, in
the exercise of its reasonable discretion, may require.
16 . Events of Default.
16 . 1 Default by Developer. If City determines on the
basis of substantial evidence that Developer has not complied in
good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, City
shall, by written notice to Developer, specify the manner in which
Developer has failed to so comply and state the steps Developer
must take to bring itself into compliance. If, within ninety (90)
10MA286\01R\DEVELOP.AGM 8
days after the effective date of notice from City specifying the
manner in which Developer has failed to so comply, Developer does
not commence all steps reasonably necessary to bring itself into
compliance as required and thereafter diligently pursue such steps
to completion, then Developer shall be deemed to be in default
under the terms of this Agreement and City may terminate this
Agreement .
16 .2 Default by City. If Developer determines on the
basis of substantial evidence that City has not complied in good
faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Developer
shall, by written notice to City, specify the manner in which City
has failed to so comply and state the steps City must take to bring
itself into compliance. If, within ninety (90) days after the
effective date of notice from Developer specifying the manner in
which City has failed to so comply, City does not commence all
steps reasonably necessary to bring itself into compliance as
required and thereafter diligently pursue such steps to completion,
then City shall be deemed to be in default under the terms of this
Agreement and Developer may terminate this Agreement or seek
specific performance as set forth in Section 16 . 3 .
16 . 3 Specific Performance Remedy. Due to the nature and
scope of the Project, it will not be practical or possible to
restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation
of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, Developer
may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to utilize the
Property and provide for other benefits . Developer has invested
significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and
processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms of this
Agreement and will be investing even more substantial time and
resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of
this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of
money which would adequately compensate Developer for such efforts .
For the above reasons, City and Developer agree that damages would
not be an adequate remedy if City fails to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement . Therefore, specific performance
of this Agreement is the only remedy which would compensate
Developer if City fails to carry out its obligations under this
Agreement, and City hereby agrees that Developer shall be entitled
to specific performance in the event of a default by City
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Agreement is intended to deprive Developer from recovering
appropriate damages in the event that the terms of this Agreement
are breached. City and Developer acknowledge that, if Developer
fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, City shall
have the right to refuse to issue any permits or other approvals
which Developer would not otherwise have been entitled to pursuant
to this Agreement . Therefore, City' s remedy of terminating this
Agreement shall be sufficient in most circumstances if Developer
fails to carry out its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if City issues a permit or other approval pursuant to
this Agreement in reliance upon a specified condition being
satisfied by Developer in the future, and if Developer then fails
to satisfy such condition, City shall be entitled to specific
performance for the sole purpose of causing Developer to satisfy
such condition. The City' s right of specific performance shall be
limited to those circumstances set forth above, and City shall have
no right to seek specific performance to cause Developer to
otherwise proceed with the development of the Project in any
manner.
17 . Institution of Legal Action. In addition to any other
rights or remedies, either party may institute legal action to
cure, correct or remedy any default, to enforce any covenants or
agreements herein, to enjoin any threatened or attempted violation
hereof, to recover damages for any default, or to obtain any other
remedies consistent with the purpose of this Agreement. Any such
legal action shall be brought in the Superior Court for San
Bernardino County, California.
I O/R\A286\01 R\DEVELOP.AGM 9
0
18 . Waivers and Delays .
18 . 1 Waiver. Failure by a party to insist upon the
strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by
the other party, and failure by a party to exercise its rights upon
a default by the other party hereto, shall not constitute a waiver
of such party' s right to demand strict compliance by such other
party in the future.
18 .2 Third Parties . Nonperformance shall not be excused
because of a failure of a third person except as provided in
Section 18 .3 below.
18 . 3 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be deemed to be
in default or failure or delay in performance of any of its
obligations under this Agreement if caused by floods, earthquakes,
other Acts of God, fires, wars, riots or similar hostilities,
strikes, other labor difficulties, government regulations or other
causes beyond either of the parties' control . If any such event
shall occur, the term of this Agreement and the time for
performance by Developer of any of its obligations hereunder or
pursuant to the Development Plan shall be extended by the period of
time that such events prevent a construction of the Project.
19 . Notices . All notices required or provided for under this
Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person and deposited
in the United States mail, postage prepaid and addressed as
follows:

entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs .
21. Transfers and Assignments .
21 . 1 Right to Assign. Developer shall have the right to
sell, assign or transfer this Agreement, and any and all of its
rights, duties and obligations hereunder, to any person or entity
at any time during the term of this Agreement, provided, however,
in no event shall the rights, duties and obligations conferred upon
Developer pursuant to this Agreement be at any time so transferred
or assigned except through a transfer of an interest of Developer
in the Property, or portion thereof, so transferred. In the event
of any such assignment, either the transferee or Developer shall be
liable for the performance of all obligations of Developer. Such
transferee or Developer shall notify City in writing of the
transfer of such obligations within thirty (30) days of the
effective date of the transfer.
21 .2 Release Upon Transfer. Upon the sale, transfer or
assignment of Developer' s rights and interest under this Agreement
as permitted pursuant to Section 21. 1, Developer shall be released
from its obligations under this Agreement and all of owner' s
obligations pursuant to the Development Plan, or other agreements
assumed by transferee with respect to the Property, or portion
thereof, so transferred provided that : (a) Developer is not then in
default under the Agreement; (b) Developer or transferee has
10/R\A286\01R\DEVEL0P.AGM 10
provided the City notice of such transfer; and (c) the transferee
executes and delivers to City a written agreement in which: (i) the
name and address of the transferee is set forth; and (ii) the
transferee expressly and unconditionally assumes all of the
obligations of Developer under this Agreement with respect to the
Property, or a portion thereof, so transferred.
Notwithstanding Section 5 and Section 21 . 1 of this
Agreement, in the event that any person or entity ( "Property
Purchaser" ) , purchases a portion of the Property (the "Purchased
Parcel" ) and the Property Purchaser and the City execute and record
a development agreement pertaining to the Purchased Parcel, then at
the time when such development agreement is recorded, this
Agreement shall cease to apply to the Purchased Parcel and the
owner of the Purchased Parcel, as such, shall have no rights or
obligations under this Agreement, and Developer hereunder shall be
released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to
the Purchased Parcel as provided in this Section 21 .2 but without
any requirement to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section
21 .2 (a) , (b) and (c) .
22 . Cooperation in the Event of Legal Challenge. In the
event of any legal action instituted by a third party or other
governmental entity or official challenging the validity of any
provision of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree to cooperate
in defending such action. Each party shall pay its own expenses in
connection with such defense. In the event of any litigation
challenging the effectiveness of this Agreement, or any portion
hereof, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while
such litigation, including any appellate review, is pending.
23 . Eminent Domain. No provision of his Agreement shall be
construed to limit or restrict the exercise by City of its power of
eminent domain.
24 . Authority to Execute. The person or persons executing
this Agreement on behalf of Developer warrant and represent that
they have the authority to execute this Agreement on behalf of
their corporation, partnership or business entity and warrant and
represent that they have the authority to bind Developer to the
performance of its obligations hereunder.
25 . Recordation. This Agreement and any amendment or
cancellation hereto shall be recorded in the Office of Official
Records of the County of San Bernardino, by the City Clerk within
the period required by Section 65868 . 5 of the Government Code.
26 . Protection of Mortgage Holders. Developer and City agree
that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit Developer, in any
manner, at Developer' s sole discretion, from encumbering the
Property or any portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any
mortgage, deed of trust or other security device securing financing
with respect to the Property. City acknowledges that the lenders
providing such financing ( "Mortgagees") may require certain
Agreement interpretations and modifications and agrees upon
request, from time to time, to meet witli Developer and
representatives of such Mortgagees to negotiate in good faith any
such request for interpretation or modification. City will not
unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requested
interpretation or modification provided such interpretation or
modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of this
Agreement. Any Mortgagee of all or any portion of the Property
shall be entitled to the following rights and privileges :
(a) Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of
this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish or
impair the lien of any mortgage on all or any portion of the
Property made in good faith and for value, unless otherwise
required by law.
(b) Any Mortgagee of a mortgage or deed of trust
encumbering all or any portion of the Property which has
submitted a request in writing to the City in the manner
I O/R\A286\01 R\DEVELOP.AGM 11
specified herein for giving notices shall be entitled to
receive written notification from City of any default by
Developer in the performance of Developer' s obligations under
this Agreement .
(c) If City timely receives a request from a Mortgagee
requesting a copy of any notice of default given to Developer
under the terms of this Agreement, City shall provide a copy
of that notice to the Mortgagee within ten (10) days of
sending the notice of default to Developer. The Mortgagee
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the
default during the remaining cure period allowed such party
under this Agreement .
(d) Any Mortgagee who comes into possession of all or
any portion of the Property, pursuant to foreclosure of the
mortgage or deed of trust, or deed in lieu of such
foreclosure, shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject
to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgagee
shall have an obligation or duty under this Agreement to
perform any of Developer' s obligations or other affirmative
covenants of Developer hereunder, or to guarantee such
performance; provided, however, that to the extent that any
covenant to be performed by Developer is a condition precedent
to the performance of a covenant by City, the performance
thereof shall continue to be a condition precedent to City' s
performance hereunder, and further provided that any sale,
transfer or assignment by any Mortgagee in possession shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 21 of this Agreement .
27. Severability of Terms . If any term, provision, covenant
or condition of this Agreement shall be determined invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be
affected thereby to the extent such remaining provisions are not
rendered impractical to enforce.
28 . Subsequent Amendment to Authorizing Statute. This
Agreement has been entered into in reliance upon the provisions of
the Development Agreement Law in effect as of the Agreement Date.
Accordingly, to the extent the subsequent amendment to the
Government Code would affect the provisions of this Agreement, such
amendment shall not be applicable to the Agreement unless necessary

located within the City (the "Developer' s Property" ) , more
particularly described on Exhibit "Al' attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
B. City has adopted the San Bernardino Development Code (the
"Code" ) establishing various development impact fees to offset the
cost of development of City infrastructure.
C. As a condition to the approval of a development agreement
between Developer and the City (the "DA") , City has required
Developer to design, construct and install certain public
facilities to serve Developer' s Property and other properties (the
"Improvements") . The Improvements are identified in the Specific
Plan adopted as part of the Project (as such term is defined in the
DA) .
D. The DA provides that engineering benefit zone studies
(collectively the "EBZ Study" ) will be done by City at Developer' s
cost to determine which of the Improvements benefit property in
addition to Developer' s Property (the "Benefitting Properties" ) .
City agrees to reimburse Developer for the pro rata share of the
costs of those Improvements that also benefit other properties
(collectively the "Facilities") . The amount of the reimbursement
will be determined by the EBZ Study and will be made from funds
collected by City from the owners or developers of the Benefitting
Properties.
E. Developer is willing to advance the costs of designing,
constructing, installing and inspecting the Reimbursable Facilities

part, to pay the same; or (c) from other fees that City may impose
upon any developers of the Benefitting Properties (the

performed on the Improvements shall be done in substantial
compliance with City-approved plans, specifications and contract
documents and in a good and workmanlike manner. All work performed

applicable federal, state, county and local government laws,
(EXHIBIT "D") (Page 5 of 9)
10/R\A2&6\O1 R\DEV ELOP.AGM
regulations and rules, including all rules and regulations of City,
as these rules and regulations may be modified or changed from time
to time.
I . Prevailing Wages .
Developer is aware of the requirements of California
Labor Code Sections 1770 et seg. , which would require the payment
of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements
if it were determined that Developer' s contracts with its
contractor (s) to construct the Improvements were a public works
contract as defined in Sections 1720 and 1720 .2 of the California
Labor Code. The parties hereto agree, however, that : (i) to the
maximum extent permitted by law, Developer' s contracts with its
subcontractors shall not be deemed "public works contracts" as
defined in the California Labor Code; and (ii) none of the parties
hereto shall take a position inconsistent with the foregoing
treatment of Developer' s contracts . Developer agrees to hold City
and its elected officials, officers, employees and agents harmless
from any claim or liability including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and court costs, arising from any failure or
alleged failure to comply with these provisions of the California
Labor Code.
J. Contractor Licenses .
All work performed on the Improvements shall be done only
by contractors licensed in the State of California and qualified to
perform the type of work required.
K. Acceptance of Work.
Upon completion of the Improvements to the satisfaction
of City, the Improvements shall be presented to the San Bernardino
City Council for dedication and acceptance, and for authorization
to file a Notice of Completion. The City Council may accept the
Improvements if it determines that the Improvements were
constructed in accordance with the approved plans, specifications
and contract documents, that they operate satisfactorily, and that
all other requirements of this Agreement have been satisfied. Upon
acceptance of the improvements, Developer shall assign to City all
of Developer' s rights and remedies, including warranties, as set
(EXHIBIT IUD" ) (Page 6 of 9)
10/R\A286\01 R\DEVELOP.AGM
forth in the approved contract documents, and thereafter City shall
have the same recourse under said contract documents that City
would have had if City itself had engaged Developer' s contractor to
construct the Improvements .
L. Liability for Work Prior to Formal Acceptance.
Until the City Council has formally accepted the
Improvements, Developer shall be solely responsible for all damage
to the work caused by or arising out of Developer' s or its
contractor' s or subcontractor' s negligence and for all damages or
injuries to any person or property at the work site caused by or
arising out of Developer' s or its contractor' s or subcontractor' s
negligence, except damage or injury due to the negligence of City,
its agents or employees .
M. Guarantee .
Developer shall require its contractor (s) to provide one
or more bonds, in form and content acceptable to City, to guarantee
all work and materials for the Improvements to be free from all
defects due to faulty materials or workmanship for a period of one
(1) year after the date of formal acceptance of the work by City.
N. Record Drawings .
Prior to acceptance of the Improvements by the City
Council, Developer shall provide City with three (3) copies of
record drawings with certification by a licensed engineer in the
State of California as to accuracy and completeness. Developer' s
contractor (s) shall be solely responsible and liable for insuring
the completeness and accuracy of the record drawings .
0. Ownership of the Improvements .
From and after acceptance of the Improvements by formal
action of the City Council, ownership of the Improvements shall be
vested exclusively in City.
P. AD-Proval of Improvement Costs .
Upon completion and final acceptance of the Improvements
by formal action of the City Council, Developer shall, within
thirty (30) days, provide City with an itemized bill showing all
reasonable costs, including an amount attributable to interest at
the Bank of America' s Reference Rate, incurred by Developer to
(EXHIBIT I'D" ) (Page 7 of 9)
10WA286\01MDEVELOPAGM
design, construct and install the Improvements . Such reasonable
costs shall be limited to costs of acquiring necessary land and
easements not currently owned by Developer, permit fees, and costs
directly and necessarily related to the design, construction and
installation of the Improvements . Developer agrees to provide City
with bills evidencing costs incurred. Developer also agrees to
provide City with any additional information as to any items shown
on the cost bill as requested by City to substantiate the costs .
Following completion of its analysis, City shall advise Developer,
in writing, of any fees or costs shown on the cost bill which City
will disallow and the reasons why these items are being disallowed
by City. Only those costs approved by City, in its reasonably
exercised discretion, will be allowed for reimbursement in
accordance with this Agreement .
