Those agreements provide for an annual review of the developer's performance of the Development Agreement, and authorize that the annual review be conducted by the City Manager. Those agreements allow portions of the Property to be released by the City fromthe obligations of the Development Agreement when required public improvements are installed. Those agreements also allow the developer to transfer its rights and obligations under the Development Agreement if such transfer or assignment is made as a part of a transfer, assignment, sale or lease of all or a portion of the property covered by the Development Agreement, if the City consents to that transfer. The City's consent cannot be unreasonably withheld. The Agreement does not expressly delegate to the City Manager authority to give such releases or consent. In the normal release or transfer, it is not necessary for Council to be directly ._~ involved, but it is desirable for the Council to delegate to the City Manager thier authority to release or consent so that it can be accomplished more efficiently administratively. PURPOSE: To delegate to the City Manager or designee the authority to release Property from obligations and give the Ciry's consent to transfer of rights and obligations under Development Agreements under certain specified circumstances. POLICY: It is the policy of the City Council that the City Manager or designee is delegated the authority to, but not required to, release property from the obligations of a Development Agreement and grant the City's consent to the transfer of a developer's rights and obligations under any Development Agreement approved by the City Council, under the following circumstances: 1. Release property from the obligations of the Development Agreement when so requested by the Developer based on a final map for a resident builder, or individual purchases of a residential custom home lot, when upon reasonable investigation, the City Manager determines that the required Public Improvements related to said property have been installed or guaranteed. 2. Allow for a transfer or assignment of rights and obligations as part of a transfer, assignment, sale or lease of all or a portion of the propert7 covered by the Development Agreement.
