of the building located at 3471;' Third Avenue for the purpose of religious worship and instruction, The non-profit
religious organization will be located within the Town Centre I Redevelopment Area for approximately one year.

Redevelopment Agency. Staff recommends approval of the temporary Special Land Use Permit subject to the
conditions listed in the report. (Community Development Director)
Miguel Tapia, Community Development Specialist 11, stated the request was for a land use permit to allow a church
in the downtown area for a period of one year. Staff recommended approval of the permit upon conditions listed
in the resolution. Staff also recommended that Condition D in the resolution dealing with the period of time be

Council they had been in their location since 1931 and parking had always been a problem, They were currently
surrounded by three churches that utilized all City parking on Sundays. He could not put a cocktail lounge within
three blocks of a church, but the church could move in next door to a cocktail lounge and then turn around and
complain about the cocktail lounge. He objected to the issuance of a land use permit.

Chair Horton stated she was aware of the lack of parking in the area and requested that staff address the issue.
Mr. Tapia stated staff had talked with the Southern Baptist Church and they indicated that they had their parking
lot open and encouraged their congregation to use that parking lot. The church assured staff that their congregation
would use the private parking lot. Any overflow would have to utilize the metered parking,
Chair Horton questioned how many additional cars were anticipated if the land use permit were approved.
Mr. Tapia replied that they had a congregation of 80 people so it was anticipated that 27 parking spaces would be
required. The parking requirements in the Municipal Code, as per the square footage, was 25-27 parking spaces.
. Eddie Chapman, 317 Third Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, owner of Docks Cocktail Lounge, stated he had been
in that location for 20 years and he served on the Downtown Business Association and waa a strong supporter of
the downtown area. He stated there was no parking and it was his understanding that the church would hold
services or meetings on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday which was three of their best business days,
A lot of people did not know about the public hearing and if they were given additional time he felt there would
be more people in opposition,
Mr. Tapia stated a notice was sent on 4/3/95 to the business owners and property owners indicating there would
be a public hearing. The proposal was also presented to the Downtown Business Association one week ago.
Chair Horton questioned if parking was addressed at that meeting.
Mr. Tapia replied there was no discussion regarding parking, The DBA did not have raise any issues or concerns
regarding the proposal.
Mr. Chapman stated he had been informed that Jim Fergus and the Downtown Business Manger would be at the
meeting to voice their opposition.
Member Moot questioned whether the request had heen heard by the Planning Commission,
Mr. Tapia responded that because the project was in the Town Centre 1 Redevelopment Project Area it was
reviewed by the Town Centre Project Area Committee.
Member Moot stated the Planning Commission normally addressed parking issues and the applicant was required
to show that there was adequate parking available,
Chair Horton stated she waa uncomfortable in voting on the item and questioned when the DBA would be meeting.
Pam Bucan, Principal Community Development Specialist, stated the Board would be meeting on 5/2/95.
. George Runyan, 6721 San Miguel Avenue, Lemon Grove, CA, Pastor of New Life Christian Fellowship,
stated the parking waa public parking, therefore, first come/first serve so there was no way of determining how
many parking spaces would be used on any particular date. They were not going to be meeting four days a week.
The main service would be on Sunday morning from 10:00 a.m. - noon, The other days, Friday or Saturday, that
they might use the facility would be approximately once a month for a special youth event (evenings). On
Wednesday nights there would be a smaller gathering of people. With their proposed growth they felt 30-35 cars
would be the maximum in the area.
Chair Horton questioned if it was not an unusual site to locate in.
Pastor Runyan replied that it was. There were many new churches emerging and facilities was a real issue. They
understood the difficulty with the downtown area. They had looked around, but that facility seemed to suit their

needs for a one year period of time. They had been sharing a facility with another church and had given them
notice that they would be out of the facility by May, 1995, They were still in a search mode.
Member Padilla stated he would prefer to see the Agency refer the request 10 seek better cooperation between the
existing merchants, applicants, and staff to address the concerns, He wanted to promote what Pastor Runyan was
trying to do but also had to be sensitive to concerns expressed by those in the area conducting business for some
time.
MS (PadillalHorton) to continue the item for 30 days.
Member Rindone referred to the one year time period and questioned if staff was confident that it would be for one
year only with no extensions. He did not feel it was the best or highest use of the property.
Mr. Tapia stated there was a letter in the packet dated 4/10/95 from the applicant stating the church would abide
by the date and the one year period,
Member Rindone stated the substantial issue that had been raised was the parking issue and he felt that could be
abated on Sundays with the parking garage if the church participants would utilize it and not the street parking.
He did not see in the staff report an analysis of the parking issues, particularly in the evening, planned usage by
the applicant other than Sundays, etc, Without that information he could not take a position on the request. He
questioned whether the applicant would be agreeable 10 a provision that the applicant's participants would use Ihe
parking garage. He felt that facility could accommodate the extra parking on Sundays, but staff may need to do
a physical survey at that time.

COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AGENDA STATEMENT

Meeting Date 5/02/95
ITEM TITLE: CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION n'Ss4
AGENCY RESOLUTION ,.." ~ q
Joint Resolution of the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Chula Vista, California: Approving the Mortgage Credit
Certificate Program and Assigning its Allocation and Program to the
Agency to Implement; Authorizing the Agency to Apply to the California
Debt Limit Allocation Committee for an Allocation of Qualified Mortgage
Bonds; Electing to Exchange Said Allocation for Mortgage Credit
Certificates, Certifying the Availability of Funds for the Required
Performance Deposit of $100,000; Approving the Standard Form Lender
Participation Agreement, and Authorizing its Execution in Connection
with Lenders Approved by the Executive Director.
SUBMITTED BY: Community Devel~pmen~tor C-~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager JC:t 'êJ .-? ~
(4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoX)
BACKGROUND:
The Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (MCC Program) was authorized by Congress in the
Tax Reform Act of 1984, as an alternative to mortgage revenue bond-backed financing as a tool
for providing home ownership assistance to lower income households.- Applications for
Mortgage Credit Certificates issuing authority are made by local agencies to the California Debt
Limit Allocation Committee (CD LAC).
In November 1994, the Council approved staff's recommendation to apply for an allocation of
Mortgage Credit Certificates, and the City was awarded $5,800,000 from the State of California.
To date, the City has received allocation amounting to over $24,000,000, including the
allocation received in November, and has helped over 150 residents to purchase homes in the
City of Chula Vista. Also, lender participation in the current program has increased by 30
percent.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution,
authorizing the following: (1) City Approve the Mortgage Credit Certificate Program; (2) City
Assign its Allocation of $10,000,000 and the MCC Program to the Redevelopment Agency of
the City of Chula Vista; (3) the Redevelopment Agency Accept the Assignment of the MCC
Program; (4) the Redevelopment Agency to Apply to the California Debt Limit Allocation
Committee for an Allocation of Qualified Mortgage Bonds; (5) the Redevelopment Agency Sets-
Aside 10% of its Allocation for Low Income Households; (6) the Redevelopment Agency Certify
the Availability of Funds for the Performance Deposit; (7) the Redevelopment Agency Certify
the Agreement to Forfeit Deposit; and (8) the Redevelopment Agency Approve the Standard
Lender Participation Agreement and Authorizes the Executive Director to Execute the
Agreement.

Meeting Date 5/02/95
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The City's Housing Advisory Commission
strongly supports the MCC Program.
DISCUSSION:
MCCs are an allocation of Private Activity Bonds which are converted to Mortgage Credit
Certificates according to a federal conversion ratio required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
The conversion ratio is 4 to 1. Therefore, in order to receive authority to issue $2,500,000 of
Mortgage Credit Certificates, the City must apply for an allocation of $10,000,000 of private
activity bonds. With the $2,500,000, the City could issue approximately 125 Mortgage Credit
Certificates.
A Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) is a document awarded to a home buyer, whose income
is below 110% of the area median income or $52,210, which allows the buyer a credit each year
on his/her federal income tax in an amount equal to 20 % of the mortgage interest paid for that
year. The MCC reduces, through a direct credit, the borrowers Federal income tax liability,
thus increasing the income available to qualify for a mortgage loan.
A MCC can have the effect of allowing lower income buyers to qualify for higher loan amounts.
As a result, the lower income buyers can afford to buy within the City of Chula Vista. The
certificate is registered with the IRS; it is not transferable, and it is revoked if the certificate
holder moves out of the qualifying home.
In order to assist low-income families in the City of Chula Vista (those families earning 80%
or less of area median income.) staff recommends that 10% of the allocation be set aside for
low-income families. A concerted effort will be made to identify and link qualified buyers and
housing stock to meet the goals of the low-income objective. Should it prove infeasible to reach
this objective, the application includes an option to release these funds from the low income
restriction by the following formula: One-half of unexpended set-aside funds released after
twelve months, and the remainder at the end of eighteen months.
Home buyers in Chula Vista, particularly those purchasing their first home, suffer from a large
disparity between income and housing affordability. A MCC Program is an excellent way to
bridge this existing gap. A MCC Program is considered preferable to a single family bond
program in Chula Vista because it allows home buyers the flexibility to choose from both newly
constructed homes and lower priced existing housing stock.
The California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CD LAC) in Sacramento, which distributes
MCC funds to communities throughout the State is currently evaluating the effectiveness of the
MCC program in conjunction with other programs competing for bond allocations such as the
Single-family Mortgage Revenue Bonds issued by the California Housing Finance Agency
(CHFA).
if-.)..
Page 3, Item ~
Meeting Date 5/02/95
An initial report from the CDLAC Committee suggested significant reductions in future MCC
allocation in favor of increasing funding for the Single-family bond program. However,
substantial opposition to this proposal has emerged from the public and private sector on the
basis that the MCC program has worked well and has provided significant benefit to first-time
homebuyers in urban regions like San Diego with high housing costs. A decision on the
CDLAC recommendation is expected to be made on May 3, 1995.
Since the MCC Program will be funded by Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, through
the use of HOME funds, the City Council must give authority to the Redevelopment Agency to
implement and administer the MCC Program. The California Debt Limit Allocation Committee
has stated that the MCC Program must first be approved by the City of Chula Vista City
Council, and then the authority must be given to the Agency to implement the Program.
Therefore, it is staff's recommendation that implementing authority be given to the City of Chula
Vista Redevelopment Agency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The California Debt Limit Allocation Committee requires an application fee of $2,200.00 (which
is available in revenue account 993-3795) and a Performance Deposit of $100,000 (1 % of the
requested allocation). The Performance Deposit is a requirement of California Government
Code Section 8869. 84(e). The Performance Deposit requirement is satisfied by the Agency
certifying the availability of $100,000 for this purpose. The Agency has identified the use of
HOME funds as the source for the $100,000 Performance Deposit. The funds do not have to
be transferred into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund unless an MCC cannot be
issued within 120 days of receiving the allocation. Staff will meet this deadline since interest
in the MCC program has increased to the point where an application to CDLAC is being
submitted 5 months earlier than was anticipated. An MCC will be issued from the 1995
allocation on July 24, 1995 at which time the full amount of the Performance Deposit will be
released by CDLAC since the MCC will have been issued within the 120 day deadline.

BACKGROUND:
In March of 1993 , the Redevelopment Agency appropriated funds to demolish the failing brick
veneer on the Town Centre I parking Structure. That project was satisfactorily completed and
the City's consulting engineer (Travis, Verdugo, Curry and Associates) provided to staff four
alternative designs to replace the veneer as a design feature.
The Design Review Committee reviewed the four design alternatives and the Environmental
Review Coordinator determined that the project was a Class 1 exemption from CEQA
requirements. The following report discusses the design alternatives and associated cost
estimates. Graphics of each alternative will be available for viewing at the Council/Agency
meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council/Redevelopment Agency accept the staff report
and recommendations:
Accepting Design Alternative B, stucco and paint, in accordance with the Design
Î\ Review Committee's recommendation; and,
1,- 2. Directing staff to obtain a sign design for the parking structure.

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On August 23, 1993, the Design Review
Committee considered four design cDncepts for the Town Centre I Parking Structure. The
Committee voted 3-0 to recommend that the Redevelopment Agency accept Alternative B, stucco
and paint, with the condition that a sign package and the colors of the stuCC() and paint be
coordinated and presented to the Design Review Committee for recommendation. Draft minutes
attached.
\;;
DISCUSSION:
Alternative Desi!!ns
Travis, Verdugo, Curry, and Associates was asked to analyze design alternatives to replace the
brick veneer as a building design feature. Staff directed the consultant to I) evaluate the
physical replacement of the veneer as originally designed and 2) "do the least amount of work"
to the building as two of the alternatives. The following are the four alternatives reviewed with
cost estimates and discussion.
Alternative A - Cost estimate $95,400
Replacement in kind of the masonry veneer: Work required would include the following:
I. Cutting and removing the 4" block "wings" projecting from the concrete masonry unit
(CMU) (concrete block) walls in front of spandrel panel to column connections.
2. Removal and replacement of any loose or unsatisfactory masonry located on the 4 curved
or 2 straight CMU wall panels. This would include forming adequate movement joints.
3. Preparation of concrete and masonry surfaces to receive veneer. This would include a
pressure wash or sand blast to remove any loose material and mechanical removal of any
large mortar fins left from the original veneer.
4. Application of brick veneer to the building surfaces. This must be performed with
proper consideration given to expansion joints and transitions which occur at spandrel
panels, columns, the elevator shaft etc. This would occur at all locations where the
veneer was located previously.
5. Repair of stair tower handrails left loose by the removal of the original brick veneer.
The main advantage of Alternative A is that it will return the structure to as near to its original
look as possible. Disadvantages to this alternative are that it is by far the most expensive,
costing two to three times as much as the other schemes. In addition, due to weathering of the
existing facade bricks, the replacement veneer may fiot fully match those facade brick zones.
Also, transitions which occur at spandrel panels and columns will require special detailing to
allow for movement and some areas may be difficult to install in the field due to materials or
elements which are in place (i.e. stairway stringers and landings).

Meeting Date: 11/16/93
Alternative B - Cost Estimate $45,600 (Recommended)
Replacement of brick veneer with stucco and paint in all locations. Work required would
include the following:
I. Items I, 2, 3 and 5 from Alternative A above.
".,
2. Painting of appropriate surfaces (suggest concrete walls and interior CMU areas).
3. Attachment of wire lath and stucco screens to both masonry and concrete walls where
stucco is to be applied.
4. Application of the stucco to the surface with consideration and detailing given to
expansion joints, transitions, etc.
5. As an option, at additional cost, brick veneer may be replaced at some locations to form
highlight bands to match existing veneer bands. Also, interior concrete and CMU
surfaces may be just rubbed down or left as is for a cost savings with à minimum
aesthetic impact.
Some of the advantages to Alternative B are that it can look very neat and clean with the color
and texture available with a stucco surface. The stucco proposed on the exterior CMU surfaces
will serve to hide imperfections in the block work (i.e. the cap blocks at the curved CMU walls)
which, for structural reasons, do not need to be repaired. Stucco screens and expansion joints
can provide for clean transitions and allow for required movement joints. Paint is employed at
concrete walls which should clean up more easily to provide a smooth even surface, and at
interior areas of CMU which are more hidden from view.
Alternative C - Cost estimate $27,700
Replacement of brick veneer with a combination of painted and rubbed down surfaces. Work
required would include the following:
I. Items i, 2, and 5 from Alternative A.
2. Item 3 from Alternative A at areas to be painted. Application of paint where appropriate
(suggest exterior of all CMU walls and interior of CMU walls at stairwells).
3. Rub down of wall surfaces where applicable (suggest exterior of concrete walls, and
concrete wall at stairwell and elevator area). Rub down will include treatment to remove
uneven concrete remnants that are stuck to the surface of walls.
4. AI; an option, climbing type vegetation may be planted to cover exterior wail surfaces
where desired.

Meeting Date: 11/16/93,
The main advantage of Alternative C is it's relatively low cost while still providing some
opportunity for aesthetic improvement with the use of color. Disadvantages associated with this
scheme are that imperfections in the existing masonry walls will most likely be visible through
the paint surface. This may cause the surface to appear repaired or unfinished rather than clean
and finished. Additionally, although the concrete may smooth out more readily; the surface
treatment may not totally even out color variations.
~.
Alternative D - Cost estimate $25,300
Rub down of wall surfaces and planting of vegetation to coverlbeautify where desired. Work
required would include:
1. Items I, 2 and 5 from Alternative A.
2. Rubbing down of wall surfaces to attain a more even texture and color (suggest at
exterior wall surfaces and at stairwells and elevator openings).
3. Planting of climbing type vegetation where desired (suggest at exterior of masonry
walls).
The main advantage of Alternative D is that it is the lowest cost scheme of the four. The main
disadvantages of Alternative D are that any repairs in the masonry may not exactly match the .
existing adjacent surface and the removal of mortar fins may damage the face of the units
resulting in an uneven finished surface. As with Alternative C, some color variations may also
exist on the rubbed down concrete surfaces. Please note that, it planting of vegetation is
employed to augment the appearance, it may take several years to effectively augment the wall
surfaces.
Summary of Desi!!n Alternatives
Of the four alternatives presented above, Alternative B appears to be the most appropriate
solution. This scheme can provide a fmished, clean look to the parking Structure which relates
favorably to the buildings around it at a cost which is reasonable. This solution also takes
advantage of the fact that not all areas of the Structure are higWy visible and therefore do not
require a heavy expensive surface treatment like stucco or veneer. In addition, paint and stucco
can offer a wide variety of color schemes from which to choose.
Although Alternatives C and D have a lower associated cost, mortar fins, pock marks and
masonry repairs would all be visible to some extent. This would, to some degree, leave the
parking structure with an incomplete or repaired look.
Additional Reoair Work
There are several repair items that the Public Works Department has identified as necessary for
proper building maintenance, and that Public Works recommends be undertaken at this time.

Li!!htin!!:
Repair existing lighting and exit fixtures. $ 500
ReDair Hand Rails:
$ 2,500
Total $30.000
The cost estimate for this work is 30,000. If this work is bid in conjunction with the building
design work, it is anticipated that the cost for the proposed repairs would be much lower. Staff
recommends that this additional work be bid as an optional item and funds would be requested
at the time the Agency approves the construction contract. If the bid is not significantly lower
as a part of the design work, then staff would submit the work as a 94-95 Capital Improvement
Program project.
SÏ!m Desil!n
The original identification sign for the parking structure was unavoidably damaged when it was
removed during the veneer demolition, therefore a new sign will need to be constructed. It is
recommended that the Agency take this opportunity to investigate a more visible identification
graphic. If staff's recommendation is accepted, staff will solicit design services and will provide
to the Design Review Committee and Agency, a design for a new identification sign along with
the final color pallet for Alternative B for final approval.
Construction Drawinl!:s
Travis, Verdugo, Curry, and Associates as structural engineers were involved with the
demolition of the project's brick veneer and they developed the four replacement design
alternatives. Based on this previous work and their knowledge of the parking structure, it can
be determined that Travis, Verdugo, Curry and Associates has a special expertise concerning
the parking structure and potential repair.
Staff requested that Travis, Verdugo, Curry, and Assocìates submit a proposal for development
of construction drawings to implement alternative B attached as - Exhibit A. A satisfactory
proposal was submitted with a cost element of $9,800. The City's purchasing procedure allows

The proposed improvements to be constructed in the Broadway Widening Project from "I"
Street to "L" Street include the installation of street and traffic improvements at the southeast
comer of Broadway and "K" Street adjacent to 801 Broadway, The existing right-of-way is
insufficient to properly install the improvements, Thus, it is necessary to acquire a portion of
the property at 801 Broadway, currently owned by the Redevelopment Agency, to facilitate the
construction of the project
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that:
a) The Agency grant portion of its property at 80 I Broadway described in the attached
legal description and easement plat to the City for the installation of necessary
improvements at that location, and that;
b) Council accept said easement for street purposes from the Agency for the construction
of improvements along Broadway adjacent to 801 Broadway.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable,
DISCUSSION:
On June 7, 1994 by Resolution 17517, council awarded the contract for the widening of
Broadway from "I" Street to "L" Street. Part of the improvements proposed on this project
included the installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk and traffic signal modification adjacent to 801
Broadway, This property which was previously owned by Southbay Chevrolet, was acquired
by the Redevelopment Agency later in 1994,
b-(
Page 2, Item-
Meeting Date 5/2/95
To construct the street improvements (curb return) at the southeast corner of Broadway and
"K" Street, it is necessary to acquire a portion of the property at 801 Broadway, The portion
of the lot required is 50,03 sq, ft. in area and is shown in the attached easement plat
(Attachment A),
Although this property is currently owned by the Redevelopment Agency, there are plans
already underway for the sale of the lot to a prospective buyer. The buyer of the site is aware
of this issue and contemplated its impact when an offer to purchase was made to the Agency,
The overall size of the lot is 107,300 sq, ft., thus, the acquisition of this portion of the property
is of small significance, and would not affect the overall value of the property and its
marketability,
Engineering and Community Development staff having jointly reviewed the design plans, have
determined that the improvements would not negatively impact the property. We, therefore,
recommend that the Agency grant the required easement for street purpose to the City and that
Council accept same,
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
This project has been previously reviewed and a negative declaration pursuant to CEQA
requirements was filed on April 2, 1993 with the County Clerk's office (IS-93-13) thus no
further review is necessary,
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for the construction of this project are budgeted in CIP

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AGENDA STATEMENT
Item ~
Meeting Date 5/2/95
ITEM TITLE: Report: Broadway Business Homes
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director cS,
Planning Director
Public Works Director
REVIEWED BY: City Manageg (4/5ths Vote: Yes - No_I
BACKGROUND:
Staff has been reviewing a proposal to construct "business homes" on the former
Fuller Ford site located at 760 Broadway which is owned by the Redevelopment
Agency. The project, proposed by Joelen Enterprises, includes 36 town homes with
commercial (or professional) space on the ground floor. A locator map, site plan and
elevations are attached.
Conceptually, the project is very exciting and addresses a niche housing market
where, ideally, a small business owner could live and work. Mixed-use is a very old
village concept that is generally promoted yet presents challenges to conventional
finance institutions and planning practices that tend to segregate uses. However, in
reviewing the proposal, several issues have become apparent which staff would like
to present to the Agency before the final product is produced. Unfortunately, outside
of major urban areas, there are not many similar developments to study in order to see
how these issues may be addressed.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept the report.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
The process for review of the Broadway Business Home project will require
submission of plans to the Design Review Committee, Planning Commission and
Redevelopment Agency for discretionary approvals. City staff must make
recommendations on the project to these groups.
DISCUSSION:
The issues which are of major concern to staff include setting precedents which have
City staffing and budgetary implications, public access and liability, and unique open
space and parking proposals. These issues are discussed under six categorical
headings below including City Maintenance Responsibilities, Tentative Map, Project
Staging, Site Planning Issues, Land Price, and Schools.
1-1

Meeting Date 05/02/95
CitY Maintenance ResDonsibilities
The Developers contend that the success of the project requires that the City
undertake the ownership and maintenance of common areas including the loop road,
commercial parking, common area landscaping, pedestrian walks and lighting. The
City would assess homeowners to recover costs associated with this responsibility.
According to the Developers, this will eliminate the necessity of forming and
maintaining a homeowners association for a relatively small number of units (thereby
improving marketability of the units), and reduce the Developer's construction defect
lawsuit exposure which has been synonymous with homeowner associations
throughout the State. Although, the project features attached units, they are
structurally independent to be sold as "fee simple" ownership and to avoid collective
structural defect claims.'
City staff has discussed the feasibility of accepting ownership and maintenance
responsibilities for the common areas described above, and has raised the following
issues:
1. In developments such as this where architectural continuity is important to
preserve ambiance, strong CC&R's and an enforcement mechanism such as a
homeowners' association is necessary in order to ensure the continued
maintenance and enforcement of appearance standards. Without such
mechanism, enforcement responsibilities may fall upon the City staff. For
example, when residents have a complaint about the upkeep of the property or
occupancy and use of a unit, they may have to call the City in the absence of
a homeowners' association or management company employed by the
homeowners' association.
2. The City may have to create a "one of a kind" assessment district to establish
ownership and maintenance for the common areas. There are some existing
analogies, however. Under the Parking District Law of 1951, the City created
a Parking District to serve the downtown retail area. The City owns and
maintains public parking areas which are metered and create revenue. Under
the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the City also owns and maintains
open space (typically slopes, canyons and parkways) which does not directly
service residential or commercial areas and does not include parking. Finally,
the City administers the Town Centre landscape and street lighting district
which is funded through a special assessment on Third Avenue properties.
The City Attorney is currently evaluating the existing parking and open space
district mechanisms to determine if they are legally and practically suitable to
1Recently approved housing developments show a trend to separate building units
to avoid structural defect lawsuits. However, in all instances locally, the common
areas are maintained by a homeowners' association.
7-.)-

Meeting Date 05/02/95
undertake the ownership and maintenance of the common areas. Regardless,
with Charter City powers, the City Attorney is confident that some legal
mechanism could be crafted. The question then becomes desirability from a
policy standpoint.
3. The Citrons are considering constructing the access loop road to City alley
standards (concrete). Under such circumstances, the city would be willing to
accept the loop road as a public right-of-way and provide maintenance.
Although this could double the cost to construct the loop road, the added cost
per unit wouldn't be significant but the long term maintenance costs would be
considerably lower.
Notwithstanding acceptance on the part of the City, this action would not
resolve issues noted above including public access, liability and security.
4. There are several concerns related to assessment district costs: 1) under
current law, homeowners have the right to protest and/or deny maintenance
cost increases. The City may have to absorb cost increases or mitigate this
concern by establishing a fund reserve or some other mechanism to
accommodate expenses or cause the district to terminate if assessments don't
increase to meet legitimate expenses; 2) because of the size of the
development, the maintenance cost per unit is expected to be relatively high
and it may be difficult to "fold" this district in with others to economize. Ways
to mitigate these concerns would need to be worked out with the developer.
5. If the City owns the common areas, the homeowners may not be able to
restrict access and use by the general public. For example, the Developers
have indicated their desire to install gates on the loop road and access alleys
for security purposes. If security gates are used, they could be closed at night
for security. Parking and open space areas could be made available to the
general public during normal business hours. The City closes public parks at
night as specifically authorized by ordinance. The City also closes access to
the Nature Center at night for security under administrative direction. All
facilities are accessible during daylight hours.
6. Since all common areas will be City-owned, vehicular and pedestrian accidents
as well as any property damage may result in claims against the City. The City
is currently self insured up to $250,000 and insured up to $2 million under a
pool with other cities. Public ownership of common area will increase the
City's financial risk and may set a precedent for other housing proposals to
request similar consideration.

Page 4, Item -
Meeting Date 05/02/95
Tentative MaD
The project entails a residential subdivision comprising approximately 36 units. There
will be common areas including access alleys, open space and public parking areas
which will either be retained in common ownership (as in a condominium) or conveyed
to the City. The latter is preferred by the Developer, but presents complications for
the City which have been discussed in the previous sections.
The Developers have requested that the Agency convey the property as individual lots
with metes and bounds descriptions without going through the tentative map process.
This will save the Developers processing time and $8-$10,000 in fees.
The normal subdivision map process may take from 12 to 18 months. The process
is governed by State Law (the Subdivision Map Act). State law does provide for
exemptions from the process for public agencies, under certain circumstances. The
City Attorney is currently discussing with the Developer's legal counsel the possible
approaches which could apply this exemption to the project or which could otherwise
expedite the mapping process. This would not exempt the development from the
CEQA or other land use approval process. Staff believes that a Parcel Map would be
a cleaner process, and would provide monumented lot corners for a more precise legal
lot definition.
1-1-/
Page 5, Item -
Meeting Date 05/02/95
Project Staaina Plan
The Developer's staging plan includes the construction of two model units and the
staged development of the project as dictated by sales (similar to typical residential
subdivision staging).
Model Units
The Developer proposes to construct two model units in the southeast corner of the
site in order to market the project. The units would be built this summer before the
zoning change and use permits are approved, and concurrent with the demolition of
existing auto dealership buildings. The Developer understands that they will have to
accept the financial risk of removing the structures in the event their marketing efforts
fall short, the project is modified or the zone change is denied because of protest, etc.
If this occurs after the demolition of existing auto dealership structures, the Agency
will have spent approximately $100,000 for demolition work and lost the possibility
of marketing the site with existing buildings in place for possible auto sales and
service reuse. It is concluded, however, that this would not be a great risk. because
if the Business Home project did not proceed, the most likely reuse of the property
would not be auto sales and service reuse.
Staged Development
The staging plan will likely include the development of separable segments of the
project in two stages. If marketing efforts fall short and only half of the project is
constructed, the Agency will be left with approximately one undeveloped acre not
sold to the developer. The site will be bordered by the business homes to the south
and a tire store to the north. Completion of less than the total number of units may
or may not achieve the critical mass necessary to provide the .sense of community"
necessary for success of this project.
Site Plannina and Land Use Issues
Planning Department staff have identified a number of code requirement deficiencies
and site design issues. While the Developer and his architect have been most
cooperative, these are unique issues for a unique project and are being offered for
your information and consideration.

Meeting Date 05/02/95
1. Assuming that the underlying zone is changed from CT to CC, the building front
setback is 25 feet. The development proposal shows 10 and 4 foot setbacks.
However, taking in consideration the average setback along Broadway, the
reduction in front building setbacks could be justified.
2. The parking required for this project (based on 20,800 sq. ft. of retail
commercial) is 104 spaces for the commercial floor space and 72 spaces for
the 36 residential units. The development proposal provides 84 spaces for the
commercial uses and 72 spaces (including 44 tandem spaces) for the
residential. However, if restrictions requiring that the units be occupied and the
business operated by the property owners are applied, fewer parking spaces
than required for the commercial shops and tandem parking for the residential
units may be acceptable. There is also some on-street parking along Broadway,
but availability for overflow demand is not assured. If occupancy restriction is
not desired, closer compliance with City parking requirements should be
required.
3. The zoning ordinance requires 400-580 sq. ft. of open space (400 for 2-
bedroom and 580 for 3 bedroom) per unit, or a total of 20,880 for the project.
The recently adopted Design Manual requires that open space be provided in
a combination of private and common usable open space. The project features
lawn areas along the loop road and some private balconies, but, the project's
common usable open space is limited to approximately 10,000 sq. ft. The
open space deficiency, when measured by the Zoning Ordinance, is
approximately 10,880 sq. ft. However, this is a unique project and the target
market does not necessarily reflect typical suburban values. For example, the
developer has indicated that initial response to the project suggests that typical
buyers will be older couples without children who will be running their own
businesses. There are no parks or playgrounds in the immediate area.
Occupancy controls could somewhat mitigate staff's concern by making it
difficult to lease the residential and/or commercial units separately which could
result in increased parking and open space demand.
1-,~

Meeting Date 05/02/95
land Cost Subsidv2
The Agency paid $1.8 million for the portion of the Fuller Ford site proposed for the
business home project and will spend an additional $100,000 to demolish existing
structures. The Developer has offered to pay approximately $5 per square foot, or
$523,000 for the property. Any unanticipated increase in planning, permitting or
development costs, or reduction in number of units could result in an increase in sales
price per unit or reduction in land acquisition payment.
~
The business homes project will require a zone change from Thoroughfare Commercial
(TC) to Central Business District Commercial (CC). The latter allows mixed use
projects as a conditional use. The zone change and, arguably, the conditional use
permit, allows the school districts to assess the project beyond standard fees currently
set at $1.75 per square foot for residential structures and $ .35 per square foot for
commercial structures. The Developers will have to negotiate with the school districts
to satisfy their requirements for mitigation.
2A full financial analysis of the subsidy for this project has not been done as yet,
but must be completed before the Agency can finally approve this project pursuant
to the Community Redevelopment law.

Meeting Date 05/02/95
Summary and Conclusions:
As a general conclusion, staff finds the proposal exciting in concept and design. The
project presents possibilities for satisfying a growing niche housing market demand.
The issues identified above appear to be generated more by the site than the project.
For example, if this project was surrounded by public streets, in the vicinity of parks,
open space and near public parking, most of the issues concerning parking and open
space would be eliminated.
The development of this project on the Fuller Ford site would be a positive change in
historic land use patterns along Broadway and may encourage further redevelopment
efforts in the area. Currently, this area is predominantly an auto orientated
commercial district with few amenities to support residential land uses. The proposed
project is urban and unique in character, and does not provide all of the amenities
normally associated with suburban residential development.
A "stand alone" project as proposed requires constant attention and control to ensure
maintenance continuity of use. If the City assumes a portion of this responsibility, it
should be clearly defined. The Developer contends that the units cannot be marketed
as condominiums.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Agency paid $1.8 million for this portion of the Fuller Ford site
proposed for the business homes project. The developers are proposing to pay the
Agency approximately $500,000 ($5.00/square foot) for this 2.4 acre site.
In addition, a demolition contract for the Ford dealership structures is currently being
advertised. The demolition cost is estimated at $100,000.
Assuming the proposed project is built out and 36 business homes are sold, the
Agency will receive approximately half of the $ 72,000 in property taxes accruing from
the project pursuant to the tax sharing agreement for the Southwest Redevelopment
Project Area. In addition, some of the businesses will generate sales tax revenues,
although the amount is difficult to estimate at this time.

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY/CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item y
-
Meeting Date 05/02/95
ITEM TITLE: Joint Resolution 11/53- and 118811 Authorizing the Execution
of a Cooperation Agreement Between the City of Chula Vista and
the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency Pursuant to the Terms
and Conditions Set Forth in the Approved Disposition and
Development Agreement Executed for the Channelside Shopping
Center Project at Fifth Avenue and C Street
SUBMITTED BY: Commvo"Y O,",'opm,", 2M" (. <; .
REVIEWED BY: Executive Director~ ~.' ' I
--? (4/5ths Vote: Yes- No_I
BACKGROUND: On August 23, 1994, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Chula Vista adopted Resolution 1416 which authorized the execution of a Disposition
and Development Agreement (DDA) by an among the Redevelopment Agency, Wal-
Mart Stores, Inc., ("Wal-Mart") and Chula Vista Town Centre Associates ("Seller").
One of the provisions in the approved DDA obligates the Agency to exercise its' best
efforts to enter into a Sales Tax Cooperation Agreement with the City in order to
ensure the repayment of the negotiated subsidy.
Recently, Wal-Mart purchased their parcel from the Seller and are now in the process
of receiving all of their building permits for construction. Inasmuch as the
development is now imminent, Agency staff is bringing this item forward for
consideration pursuant to the obligations under the DDA (attached),
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency/Council approve the resolution which
authorizes the execution of a Cooperation Agreement between the Agency and the
City for the purposes of contractually obligating the City to pay to the Agency in any
given year, the funds necessary to make the negotiated subsidy payment to Wal-Mart.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to the DDA, Wal-Mart is loaning $1,915,000 to the Agency for the purposes
of providing certain public improvements necessary to facilitate the development of
the project. As was described in greater detail when the DDA was approved in
August 1994, the obligation for the City/Agency to repay the "loan" is completely
contingent upon the store being opened, operated and generating sales tax revenue
for the City's General Fund. As provided, Wal-Mart fronts the cost of the public
~.I
Page 2, Item L-
Meeting Date 05/02/95
improvements and the City and/or Agency repays Wal-Mart the amount of the loan,
plus 4% interest, over a maximum period of fifteen (15) years. The annual payment
amount is to be based upon a percentage of the retail sales tax generated by the Wal-
Mart store and actually received by the City's General Fund. In the event that the
loan is not paid after 15 years, any remaining unpaid principal is waived by Wal-Mart.
The following deal statements are provided for clarity:
1. Loan amount is $1,915,000 at 4% interest which expires at the end of 15
years.
2. Annual loan repayment schedule is measured by the percentage of sales tax
revenue generated by the Wal-Mart store only, in any given year, as follows:
a. 20% in Year 1
b. 30% in Year 2
c. 35% in Year 3
d. 45% in Year 4
e. 50% in Years 5 though 15 (or when loan is repaid, whichever is earlier)
3. Installments are due on a quarterly basis within 30 days after receipt of
quarterly sales tax reports from the State of California.
4. The first installment is due within 30 days after receipt of the first quarterly
statement indicating sales tax revenue being generated by the Wal-Mart store.
As Council is aware, the Redevelopment Agency's tax increment revenue generated
within the Town Centre II Project Area is currently pledged first toward the repayment
of the Town Centre II Certificates of Participation in any given year in which the
Agency has "surplus revenue" from the project area. Additionally, as the Council is
also aware, the tax increment revenue in Town Centre II is currently not sufficient for
payment of the existing Certificates of Participation (i.e., which is why the City was
obligated under that note) and therefore, it is necessary for the City to make the
payments available to the Agency. Therefore, Wal-Mart rightfully requested that the
City and Agency enter into a Cooperation Agreement whereby the City is contractually
obligated to make the appropriate payments since the Agency does not have "surplus
revenues" in the project area from which to pay the obligation. Although there are
no assurances for ultimate repayment, any amount paid by the City for the Agency
under this obligation will be booked as loans to the Agency which can be claimed as
a necessary debt to be repaid pursuant to Section 33670 of the Health and Safety
Code.
FISCAL IMPACT: The execution of this Cooperation Agreement does not have a fiscal
impact other than to complete an obligation of the previously approved DDA for the
project. All of the terms and conditions for the project are defined within the DDA,
and this Sales Tax Cooperation Agreement does not change any of those previously
approved terms. This agreement merely fulfills an obligation and demonstrates to
f--"'"

Page 3, Item ~
Meeting Date 05/02/95
Wal-Mart of the City's intent to honor the obligation which does not become due and
payable in annual installments until such time as the project is built and is generating
sales tax revenue for the City's General Fund.
Provided below are sales tax revenue and debt retirement projections as provided in
the original DDA staff report. These tables assume that only the "Wal-Mart" store is
built and generating sales tax revenue to the City. As of the writing of this report, it
appears imminent that a "Best" store will be the second major tenant (50,000 sq. ft.
general merchandise store) and will produce a significant amount of additional
revenues for the General Fund not expressly contemplated in the previous staff report
or the tables below. Without any retailers other than Wal-Mart in the project, the
tables below project that the $1.9 million loan will be repaid within 12 years and that
over a 15 year period, the City will receive net sales tax revenues after loan
repayment obligations and the "transfer" effect (ie., siphoning from other existing
sales tax generators within the City limits) of $4.9 million. Additionally, the Agency
projects to receive approximately $90,000 annually in tax increment revenuè.

to repay any bonds or other indebtedness to third parties and Agency's payments to City shall
be subject to the availability of "Surplus Revenues", For purposes of this Agreement" Surplus

to: (i) pledge any such sources of funds to the repayment of other indebtedness heretofore or
hereafter incurred by Agency in carrying out the Project, and (ii) continue to incur other
obligations in connection with the Project Area. In the event of any such obligation or pledge,

of Agency's receipt of Surplus Revenues as defined above and shall be in the full amount of such

City, it is the express intent of the parties that City shall be entitled to reimbursement of all
amounts due to City pursuant to this Agreement and the interest thereon, consistent with

of the advances made pursuant to this Agreement.
6, Redeveloper shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
This Agreement shall not be amended, altered, terminated or otherwise revised (collectively a
"Revision") in any manner which modifies or deletes the obligation of City to provide the
Agency with funds necessary to make one or more Agency Payment(s) to Redeveloper, except
with the prior written consent of Redeveloper. Any Revision which modifies or deletes the
City's obligation to provide the Agency with funds necessary to make one or more Agency
Payment(s) to Redeveloper shall be void if such Revision is made without Redeveloper's prior
written consent. Upon a breach (including any anticipatory breach) by City of its obligations
under this Agreement, which breach results in the failure of the Agency to make a required
Agency Payment to Redeveloper, the Redeveloper may by written notice to Agency terminate
the DDA, or exercise any other remedy available at law or equity, and Redeveloper shall not
have any further obligation to Agency not yet accrued as of the date of City's breach, provided,
however, that Redeveloper shall have no right to seek or receive a direct payment of funds from
City.

PROMISSORY NOTE
W AL-MART PROJECT
$ Chula Vista, California -' 1994
RECITALS
A. On -' 199_, the REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY
OF CHULA VISTA ("Agency"), WAL-MART STORES, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Redeveloper"), and , a California limited partnership comprised of
("Seller"), entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement
("Agreement"), relating to the redevelopment of certain real property located in the City of
Chula Vista. A true and correct copy of the Agreement is on file in the City Clerk's Office
located at 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, California 91910.
B. The Agency and the Redeveloper have executed and delivered this Promissory
Note pursuant to the Agreement. Tenus not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed in
the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Agency and the Redeveloper agree as follows:
1. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and subject to the tenus and conditions of the
Agreement, the Agency promises to pay to the order of the Redeveloper, at 702 S.W. 8th Street,
BentonvilJe, Arkansas 72716, Attn: President and Attn: Property Manager or at such other
address as the Redeveloper may from time to time designate, the principal sum of One Million
Nine Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($1,915,000.00) in accordance with the following:
2. Interest Rate. Interest on the unpaid principal balance owed hereunder shall
accrue at the rate of four percent (4%) simple interest per annum, commencing on the date the
Store on the Wal-Mart Parcel opens for business, and continuing thereafter until the principal
and interest are paid in full or the Agency's obligation is forgiven and discharged a~ set forth
in paragraph 4 below or is otherwise properly tenuinated.
3. Installment Pavment. The obligation of the Agency to make payments to the
Redeveloper pursuant to this Promissory Note is expressly contingent upon the construction,
opening to the general public for retail sales and continued operation as a retail outlet of a Wal-
Mart store (the "Store") on the Wal-Mart Parcel. Subject to the opening for business and
continued operation of the Store on the Wal-Mart Parcel, the Agency shall make installment
payments of principal and interest to the Redeveloper at the times and subject to the other tenus
and conditions herein set forth.
3.1. Installment payments of principal and interest will be payable quarterly
during the tenu of this Promissory Note, in arrears and without offset or demand: (i)
commencing 30 days after the date that City or the Agency receives a detailed report ("Detailed
Report") from the State Board of Equalization itemizing the sources of the State Board of
Equalization reconciliation payment ("Reconciliation Payment") for the first quarter in which the
Store opens for business (the "First Payment Date") and (ii) continuing 30 days after the date
(Exhibit "7") 1 r;-e¡
that the Agency receives the Detailed Report for each subsequent quarter through including the
59th calendar quarter after the First Payment Date until the earlier of (a) the Payment Date on
which all principal and interest have been paid to the Redeveloper; or (b) the quarter during
which the Store permanently ceases to operate as a Wal-Mart retail outlet (individually a
"Payment Date" and collectively the "Payment Dates"). For purposes of this Promissory Note
the Store shall be deemed to have peremanently ceased operation at any time that the Store is
closed for ninety (90) days or more unless the store is closed for remodeling or repair, which
remodeling or repair is commenced within the ninety (90) day period and diligently completed.
Any temporary closure of the Store (less than ninety (90) days or for the purposes of remodeling
or repair as described herein) shall not result in an extension of the overall term of this
Promissory Note.
3.2. On each Payment Date, the Agency shall pay to the Redeveloper the
"Redeveloper's Payment" as hereinafter defined. The Redeveloper's Payment shall be an
amount equal to a specified portion of the "Sales and Use. Tax Revenues" generated by the
operation of the Wal-Mart Store on the Wàl-Matt Parcel as set forth below. Sales and Use Tax
Revenues means those funds received by the City of Chula Vista (the "City") as unrestricted
general fund revenues pursuant to the imposition of the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and
Use Tax Law (the "Sales Tax Law"), commencing with Section 7200 of the Revenue and Tax
Code of the State of California, as amended, arising from sales at or from the Wal-Mart Parcel
which are subject to such Sales and Use Tax Law. Any funds received by the City from
impositions pursuant to the Sales Tax Law which are subject to use restrictions imposed by the
State shall not be included in the definition of Sales and Use Tax Revenues in any Payment
Year.
3.3. The Redeveloper's Payment shall be calculated as follows:
A. The payment to Redeveloper in the First Payment Year (to be paid
quarterly) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount necessary to pay principal and
interest in full or twenty percent (20%) of the Sales and Use Tax Revenues.
B. The payment to Redeveloper in the Second Payment Year (to be
paid quarterly) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount necessary to pay principal
and interest in full or thirty percent (30%) of the Sales and Use Tax Revenues in the Second
Payment Year.
C. The payment to Redeveloper in the Third Payment Year (to be paid
quarterly) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount necessary to pay principal and
interest in full or thirty-five percent (35%) of the Sales and Use Tax Revenues in the Third
Payment Year.
D. The payment to Redeveloper in the Fourth Payment Year (to be
paid quarterly) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount necessary to pay principal
and interest in full or forty-five percent (45 %) of the Sales and Use Tax Revenues in the Fourth
Payment Year.
E. The payment to Redeveloper in the Fifth through the Fifteenth
Payment Years (to be paid quarterly) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount
necessary to pay principal and interest in full or fifty percent (50%) of the Sales and Use Tax
Revenues in the applicable Payment Year.
(Exhibit "7") 2 ~,'O
3.4. As used in this Note, Sales and Use Tax Revenues based on sales at or
from the Site will be deemed to include omy sales which occur on the Site and sales which occur
elsewhere, if they are initiated on the Site and if the situs of the sale is within the Agency's
corporate limits. The parties agree for purposes of detennining the amount of the Redeveloper's
Payment that the Agency will not be obligated to consider Sales and Use Tax Revenues from
any source other than Sales and Use Tax Revenues which are based on sales at or from the Wal-
Mart Parcel.
3.5. If the Sales Tax Law is modified after the date of this Promissory Note in
a manner which results in the City receiving an increased or a decreased amount of Sales and
Use Tax Revenues from the Wal-Mart Parcel, the amount of the Redeveloper's Payment shall
be calculated on the modified level of Sales and Use Tax Revenues.
If the Sales Tax Law is repealed after the date of this Promissory Note the
Agency's obligation pursuant to this Promissory Note shall be deemed to be forgiven and
discharged, and no liability of the Agency for the'ilonpayment of such principal and interest shall
result in any manner whatsoever. Provided, however, that if concurrent with the repeal of the
Sales Tax Law or within the same legislative year as the repeal of the Sales Tax Law, additional
legislation provides for the replacement of all or a portion of the Sales and Use Tax Revenues,
the Agency's obligation to make Redeveloper Payments shall be deemed to be modified and will
thereafter be based on the alternative fonn of tax or revenue (the "Alternative Revenue") which
the City receives with regard to the applicable quarter in total or partial replacement of Sales and
Use Tax Revenue. In addition, in the event of such repeal and replacement of Sales and Use
Tax Revenues, the Redeveloper and the Agency will fully cooperate with one another in
amending the Agreement and this Promissory Note as is necessary or appropriate to facilitate
repayment of this Promissory Note in a manner consistent with the amount and nature of the
Alternative Revenue and the intent of the parties in entering into the Agreement and this
Promissory Note.
The parties acknowledge that their intent includes:
A. The timely and full payment of the principal and interest of
this Promissory Note.
B. The Redeveloper's Payment shall not exceed an amount
which is equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Sales and Use Tax Revenues received by the City
in each fiscal year as a result of the operation of the Store.
C. The Agency's obligation to repay the Redeveloper shall not
extend beyond fifteen (15) years after the date the Store is opened for business and tenninates
upon the pennanent closure or transfer of the Store, provided that the Agency shall make the
payment to the Redeveloper for the last calendar quarter prior to such tennination.
3.6. All such payments shall reduce the accrued interest first and then the
unpaid principal until the principal and interest due hereunder is paid in full, or the Agency's
obligation is forgiven and discharged as set forth in Paragraph 4 below or is otherwise properly
tenninated.
(Exhibit "7") 3 g."
-- -
4. Forgiveness and Discharge of Balance of Obligation. In the event that the
payment of the Redeveloper's Payments in the amounts set forth above is insufficient to fully
satisfy and discharge the amount of principal and interest on this Promissory Note by the Final
Payment Date, any and all principal and interest on this Promissory Note remaining unpaid after
such Final Payment shall be forgiven and discharged, and no liability of the Agency for the
nonpayment of such principal shall result in any manner whatsoever. The Final Payment Date
shall be the Payment Date for the calendar quarter which is first to occur of: (i) the 59th
calendar quarter after the First Payment Date; (ii) the quarter for which all outstanding principal
and accrued interest are paid in full; or (iii) the Payment Date in the first quarter in which the

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AGENDA STATEMENT

Meeting Date ~
ITEM TITLE: REPORT Request from Auto Park Developers for Additional
Financial Assistance
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director
REVIEWED BY: Executive Director (4/5ths Vote: Yes - No -1U
BACKGROUND: On January 17, 1995, the Council approved a conditional payout of $1.3
million to the Auto Park Developers for construction of public streets within the Auto Park
under, Assessment District 92-2. On January 19, 1995, staff met with the Auto Park
Developers, Messrs. Ordway and Fuller, and their attorney to discuss financial problems
associated with a lower assessment district payout than anticipated. As a result of that
meeting, the developers made specific requests for financial assistance which were reviewed
by staff. Their requests included the following:
Increase the Maximum Agency Repayment Obligation in the Disposition and
Development Agreement (DDA) by $783,230;
Decrease the Base Sales Tax that the City would receive from $550,000 to
$340,000;
Decrease the Annual Escalator Factor from 6% to 2% and postpone its
application one year, beginning July 1, 1996.
In addition, the Chevrolet dealers expressed their desire to have the Agency acquire parcel #1
from them due to their inability to market the parcel.
The Redevelopment Agency considered the request from the Auto Park Developers on
February 14, 1995 (see Exhibit A) and directed staff to obtain and analyze financial data on
dealership operations. Additional information has been received and analyzed, and the
following recommendations are offered for consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That the Agency not take any actions to acquire Parcel #1 (vacant land parcel).
2. That the Agency not consider a reduction in the maximum Agency Repayment
Obligation of $1.9 million as stated the Disposition and Development Agreement.
3. That the Agency not consider lowering the Sales Tax Base from $550,000 as stated
in the Disposition and Development Agreement.
4. That the Agency direct staff to draft an amendment to the Disposition and
Development Agreement for further review which will allow an annual review of the
escalation factor, taking into account current cost of living factors.
5. That the Agency reduce the current escalator of 6% to 3%, based on current cost of
living data.

Page 2, Item 2-
Meeting Date: 5/02/95
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In mid January, staff met with the Auto Park Developers, Messrs. Ordway, Reneau and Fuller,
and their attorney to discuss their request for additional financial assistance from the Agency
due to a shortfall in anticipated reimbursements for public improvements constructed under
Assessment District 92-2. The Auto Park Developers specifically requested the following
amendments to the terms of the Disposition and Development Agreement:
Increase the Maximum Agency Repayment Obligation by $783,230;
Decrease the Base Sales Tax that the City would receive from $550,000 to
$340,000;
Decrease the Annual Escalator Factor from 6% to 2% and postpone its
application one year, beginning July 1, 1996.
The Developers were requested to submit financial information on current operations of the
Auto Park in support of their request. Information pertaining to South Bay Chevrolet including
financial reports on operations and copies of loan agreements was received on March 20,
1995 and has been reviewed by staff. No information was received from Ford. Also received
was a letter from Mr. John Abbene, attorney for the Auto Park developers, requesting that
the Agency purchase parcel #1 (vacant land parcel west of Fuller Ford/Honda) from South Bay
Chevrolet in order to expedite the sale and continued operation of the dealership located on
parcel 3.
The letter from Mr. Abbene is attached as Exhibit B. Based upon this request and review of
the financial information, staff has the following comments and recommendations. A glossary
further explaining the DDA terms used below is attached as Exhibit C.
1. Aaencv Purchase of Parcel #1
South Bay Chevrolet purchased Parcel #1, comprising approximately 2.5 acres through the
Agency for approximately $750,000 in August 1993. The site is difficult to sell and develop
at this time because of its limited size and presence of stockpiled, contaminated soil on the
adjoining parcel to the rear of parcel #1. Staff is currently working with the former land
owner to remove the stockpile. When that occurs, the rear 1.5 acres can be combined with
the front 2.5 acres to provide a more appropriate site for a new auto dealership. South Bay
Chevrolet is required to purchase the parcel if and when it is cleaned up at a price equal to
the price per square foot price paid for Parcel #1. South Bay Chevrolet was aware of the
conditions on the adjoining parcel at the time of purchase of Parcel #1.
Assuming it would be possible to sell the parcel in a shorter time frame, South Bay borrowed
$1,045,000 from GMAC on this property based upon a rather optimistic appraisal of its value
once improvements (roads, sidewalks, sewer, etc.) were installed. This loan is cross
collateralized with a $3.9 million loan from GMAC on Parcel #3 for construction of the
dealership. The loan is due to be paid off in May of this year, thereby providing an
impediment to transfer of this parcel along with sale of the dealership. South Bay has
?f~'"
Page 3, Item i
Meeting Date: 5/02/95
requested that the Agency repurchase this parcel. for at least the amount of the loan. Based
upon the lack of response from the target market. the property appears to be over-
encumbered.
The problems impeding sale and development of this parcel stem from the discovery of
contaminated soils and the need to stockpile them until an economical removal plan is
authorized by the regulatory agencies. The decision to financially encumber Parcel #1 was
unfortunate. South Bay Chevrolet does not have the funds to retire this debt in May.
Assuming the Agency had the will to acquire the site. funds are not currently available. The
Agency is, in fact. planning to divest itself of property in order to retire its own debt.
Consideration of acquisition of parcel #1 is not be recommended by staff.
2. Increase the Maximum Aaency Reoayment Obliaation
The Auto Park Developers were anticipating approximately $1 Million more than they will
receive in reimbursements for construction of public improvements through Assessment
District 92-2. The shortfall is apparently due to miscommunications between the developers
and their consultants concerning limitations of the Assessment District. In an effort to make
up this shortfall which includes a $730.000 right-of-way acquisition charge. the Developers
have requested that the Maximum Agency Repayment Obligation stipulated in the DDA under
Incentive Payments (see attached description) be increased by $730.000 to reimburse the
Developers for the land cost attributed to public rights-of-way. This would increase the
Agency's Maximum Repayment Obligation during the first six years of operation of the Auto
Park from $1.9 million to approximately $2.630.000. It should be noted that any amount not
repaid during the first six years is forgiven.
Even though it is unlikely. given current sales volumes. that the Auto Dealers will generate
enough sales tax revenue to be repaid the $1.9 Million within six years. it is not recommended
that the Maximum Repayment Obligation be increased. The Agency has already provided
substantial subsidy for this project through the purchase of the Broadway dealership
properties and the loan the Shinoharas to relocate the contaminated soils. Further subsidy
based upon the lack of vigilance by the Developers and their consultant during the
development process is not justified. In addition. once the Maximum Repayment Obligation
is satisfied. or six years elapses (whichever occurs first). the Developers continue to share in
the post incentive payments for a period of nine years.
3. Decrease in Base Sales Tax from $550.000 to $340.000
The Sales Tax Base - sales tax revenues based upon 1988 auto sales from the Ford and
Chevrolet dealerships which would accrue to the City before incentive or post incentive
payments to the Developers are computed - were set at $550.000 per year under the
assumption that auto sales would increase from late 1980's levels.. However. the evidence
submitted by South Bay Chevrolet indicates that auto sales in 1994 were considerably lower.
and off to an even slower start in 1995. Although Fuller Ford did not submit sales
information. the owner of the dealership. Doug Fuller. verified in a telephone conversation
with staff. that 1994 Ford sales were down as well. If further action on this item is desired
by the Agency. staff will validate sales figures.
1'-3
Page 4'~
Meeting Date: 2
A reduction in the base would have a direct financial impact upon the City since the City
receives 100% of the base before the sharing formula with the dealers goes into effect.
Based upon the potential impact to General Fund revenues, reduction in the Base Sales Tax
limit is Ð.Q1 recommended.
4. Decrease the Annual Escalator from 6% to 2%
As indicated above, the base sales tax, $550,000 in year one, is to increase by 6% per year
for 15 years covered by the Incentive and Post Incentive payments. The developers have
requested that the increase be reduced to 2% based upon the lower CPI for the past few
years. The 6% annual increase was predicated upon inflation rates in the late 1980's when
the terms of the DDA were developed. The CPI for the past two years has averaged closer
to 3%. Reduction of the escalator to 3% would result in a loss of approximately $12,375 to
the City in the second year if the Auto Park generates at least $550,000 in sales tax revenue
from July 1, 1995 - June 30, 1996. If the escalator remains at 3% for the next four years,
when compared to the current 6% escalator, the loss will increase slightly each year.
Based upon lower inflation rates, a reduction in the escalator is justified, at least through the
incentive payment period. A reduction from the current 6% is recommended for consideration
on a year by year basis. in order to accomplish this, the DDA will have to be amended. If this
report is approved, staff will return to the Agency with a revised DDA for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Sales Tax Base increases each year by the escalator amount. Sales
tax revenues received over the base plus escalator are shared between the Agency (25%) and
the Auto Park Developers (75%) through the incentive period (years 1-6). As the escalator
decreases below 6%, the amount subject to the sharing formula increases. Since the Agency
receives only 25% under the sharing formula, 75% of the difference between the original
escalator (6%) and the reduced escalator will be a "loss" in terms of anticipated revenues.
For example, if the escalator is reduced to 3% at the end of the first year of operation, the
base in the second year will be $566,500 ($550,000 base plus 3%). The Agency anticipated
the base plus 6%, or $583,000. The difference, $16,500 will now be subject to the sharing
formula with the Agency receiving 25%, or $4,125, and the Developers receiving 75%, or
$12,375. This last figure ($12,375) represents the "lost" revenues to the Agency.
During the post-incentive period (years 7-15), the sharing formula changes with the Agency
receiving 62-1/2% and the Developer 37-1/2%. The lost revenues during the post-incentive
period would thus be equal to 37-1/2% of the difference between the base at the time pius
the escalator and what the base would have been if the escalator had been a consistent 6%
from year 1.

ITEM TITLE: Report Request from Auto Park Dealers for Additional
Financial Assistance
SUBMITrED BY, Com_ty 1kwI- ~ S '
REVIEWED BY: Executive Directo~ ~ --4 (4/5ths Vote: Yes - No-XJ
.. BACKGROUND: On Tuesday, January 17, 1 , the Council approved a conditional payout
of $1.3 million to the Auto Park Developers for construction of public streels within the Auto
Park under Assessment District 92-2. On Thursday, January 19, 1995, staff met with the Auto
Park Developers, Messrs. Ordway and Fuller, and their attorney to discuss financial problems
associated with a lower assessment district payout than anticipated. As a result of that meeting,
the developers have made specific requesls for financial assistance (see attachment A) which
have been reviewed by staff.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council review the letters submitted by the Auto Park
developers' attorney, John Abbene, requesting specific financial assistance and continue
discussion of this item one week: to allow staff time to obtain and analyze dealership financial
documenls to provide a cost benefit analysis regarding financial assistance.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
At the meeting of January 17, 1995 with staff, the developers explained that they were
anticipating approximately $1 million more than they will receive from the City under
Assessment District 92-2 for construction of on-site streels and a sewer pump station. This will
leave them short in meeting their other financial obligations. The shortfall was apparently due
to miscommunications between the developers and their consultanls. Although the total bond
issue was for $1.9 million, the developers had not been infonned by their consult! that
approximately $400,000 of the Assessment District proceeds were being used to payoff their
obligations under the Otay Valley Road Assessment District to avoid double assessment district
liens against their property. An additional $200,000 was applied towards bond issuance cosls.
¡The Developers' consultanls worked with staff to develop the pro fonna for the assessment
district, the acquisition agreement and all other related documenls and was aware and advised
by staff of all of the constraints including the requirement to payoff the lien for Assessment
District 90-2 (Otay Valley Road) so that there would not be two assessment district liens against
the property, and also the City's limit on issuing bonds for assessment district (no more than
33% of the valuation of the property to be assessed).
. 7'-r
I Page 2, IteDJ. ~-,

/ The developers were also not informed that the City is limited in the amount of bonds that can
be issued under an assessment district to 33 % of the appraised value of the property to be
assessed, regardless of the total cost of improvements. In this case, the City's bonding limit was
$1.9 million, although total costs including a $730,000 right-{)f-way acquisition charge, totalled
$2.5 million. In establishing the assessment district, City staff worked closely with the
developers' consultants and fully disclosed all these issues and constraints.
In an effort to make up for the shortfall of funds, the developers have requested assistance in
securing a loan and reconsideration of specific terms of the Disposition and Development
Agreement which included a yearly payback to the developers over the first fifteen years of
operation of the Auto Park based upon sales tax revenues generated by the dealerships (further
explained below). They have presented a specific proposal to staff for review in a letter dated
January 30, 1995 attached hereto. However, there were no documents verifying current
financial conditions submitted as support for their request.
Under a separate letter also dated January 30 (see attachment A), the Agency is requested to
repurchase parcel #1 from South Bay Chevrolet. The Agency had purchased the site from
Shinohara and conveyed it to South Bay chevrolet in August 1993. This parcel originally
comprised 4 acres. After deletion of the rear portion of the lot totalling 1.1 acres due to the
need to stockpile contaminated soils relocated from the other parcels and loss of .4 acres for
right-{)f way, the lot was reduced to approximately 2.5 acres. Mr. Ordway claims that he can
not sell the property now because of the reduced size and the presence of the contaminated soils
on the rear parcel.
The specific requests for assistance include the fonowing:
- Assistance in securing a $1.1 million loan.
- Amendment of the DDA to increase the maximum payback amount through
incentive payments, decrease the annual escalator and postpone the effective date
of the escalator by one year.
- Agency repurchase of parcel #1.
Although the Auto Park Developers are claiming financial hardship, staff has not received
adequate documentation to substantiate the amount of hardship or justify the level of additional
participation requested. Additionally, staff needs to review loan documents pertaining to all of
the parcels, evidence of other encumbrances and operating statements indicating cash flow. This
information has been requested from the owners.
It is therefore recommended that this item be continued Cor two weeks in order that the
developers can provide the information requested and starr has the opportunity to
adequately review this material.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Developers have requested assistance in securing a loan with the amount of $1.1 million,
amendment to financial terms of the DDA and Agency repurchase of Parcel #1.
9-6

Meeting Date 02/14/95
Loan Assistance
Assuming the Agency assisted the Developers in approaching lenders but did not directly loan,
consign, or in any other way guarantee the loan, there would be no direct financial impact to
the Agency.
Amendment of the DDA
Amendment of the terms of the DDA to increase the maximum repayment under Section 401(vi)
will only impact the Agency if the Auto Park is more successful than originally projected.
The developers have requested that the maximum loan repayment be increased by $738,230 in
order to reimburse the developers for the land right-of-way cosls not forthcoming under the
assessment district reimbursemenls. Based upon initial revenue projections for the Auto Park
which included three large dealerships (Ford, Chevrolet and Toyota, which was negotiating to
purchase Parcel #1 at that time, and one small dealership) with annual sales increases of 6%,
it was possible for the developers to receive adequate incentive paymenls to cover the entire loan
amount plus interest through year six. There are currently two major (Ford and Chevrolet) and
two smaller (Honda and Kia) dealerships in operation. Current sales volumes and the delay in
opening a fifth dealership on Parcel #1 make it highly unlikely that the level of sales tax
revenues necessary to generate incentive paymenls to return an additional $738,230 will be
forthcoming during the first six years. In the event that the Auto Park does extremely well and
exceeds estimated sales tax revenues during this period, the Agency, through ils 25% share,
would also be receiving more revenues than anticipated during the first six years.
As indicated above, the base sales tax, $550,000 in year one, is to increase by 6% per year for
15 years covered by the incentive and post incentive paymenls. The developers have requested
that the increase be reduced to 2 % based upon the lower inflation rate in the past few years.
The 6% annual increase was predicated upon inflation rates in the late 1980's when the terms
of the DDA were developed. Inflation for the past two years has averaged closer to 3 % .
Reduction of the escalator to 2% would result in a loss of $16,500 to the City in the first year
if the Auto Park generates at least $550,000 in sales tax revenue from July 1, 1995 - June 30,
1996. This figure will increase slightly each year for the next five years.
The base sales tax was also predicated on actual auto sales in the late 1980's which have not
been replicated since. The developers have, consequently, requested a reduction in the base to
$340,000 which is commensurate with recent sales levels. Such a reduction would have a direct
financial impact upon the city since the City receives 100% of the base before the sharing
formula with the dealers goes into effect. If the base were reduced to $340,000, the City's loss
in the first year would be 75% of sales tax revenues over $340,000, up to $550,000. If sales
tax revenues reach $550,000, the City would lose $157,500. The sales tax base increases every
year by the escalator amount (currently 6%).
The developers have also requested that the escalator not be applied to the base sales tax until
July 1, 1996. In accordance with the DDA, the escalator is scheduled to go into effect on July
1, 1995.
9-7
Page 4, Item ~ '.
Meeting Date 02/14/95'
The financial impact to the City of postponement of the effective date of the escalator would be
relatively minor, totalling $33,000 in year one if the base remains at $550,000. The loss would
reduce to $2,OOO:t per year thereafter.
Agency Repurchase of Parcel #1
In addition to the Chevrolet dealership (lot #3), Mr. Ordway owns lot #1 which comprises 2.4
acres. This parcel originally comprised 4 acres. However, Shinohara retained 1.1 acres to
stockpile contaminated soils. Ordway purchased 2.9 acres through the Agency. The site was
reduced by 4 acres due to construction of the westerly cul-de-sac of Auto Park Drive. Mr.
Ordway claims he cannot sell the property now because of its reduced size and proximity to
contaminated soils. He has proposed that the Agency repurchase the parcel at a value inflated
to account for land development costs. In addition, Mr. Ordway is required to purchase the 1.5
acres once the contaminated soils are removed (which could occur later this year). The Agency
would presumably have to assume this obligation as well. This would require a cash payment
of approximately $1 million (per Ordway's request) which would be tied up until the land was
sold by the Agency. It may be possible to recoup these funds when market conditions improve
and the contaminated soils are removed from the adjoining parcel.

$3,921,895 and the other Note is for $1,045,000. Both of these Notes
are secured by deeds of trust covering both Parcels 1 and 3 in the Auto
Park.
With respect to the cash proceeds received by Messrs. Ordway and
Reneau at the time the Auto Park property was purchased, Mr. Reneau

14 (iv) "Incentive PaYment Commencement Date"
shall be the same as the "Liability Segregation Date"

provided such date occurs within the time contemplated
16 therefore in the Schedule of Performance,
17 (v) "Incentive PaYment Expiration Date" shall

Equalization by businesses operated upon the Site
2 pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, was
received by the City for use as unrestricted, general
3 fund revenues. Notwithstanding the generality of the
foregoing, Sales Tax Received by City shall not include
4 any portion of California sales tax collected from the
Site and paid to the City for special purposes, such as
5 transportation purposes.
6 b. Incentive PaYments.
7 (i) Upon the expiration of the 180th day
following the close of the first full Agency Fiscal Year
8 after the Incentive Payment Commencement Date, and
occurring thereafter on an annual basis until and
9 including the Incentive Payment Expiration Date,
provided that in each such year the Sales Tax Received
10 by City for such period of computation exceeds the Base
Sales Tax for the same period, Agency shall pay to the
11 owners of fee title to the Site, in the aggregate, the
Maximum Agency Repayment Obligation in the form of the
12 "Incentive Payments". Such payments shall be calculated
and paid to such owners individually, as described in
13 clause (ii), below.
14 (ii) The Incentive Payment to any given Site
Parcel owner for any given period of computation shall
15 be calculated by multiplying the difference .
(hereinafter, the "site Parcel Tax Excess") between: (x)
16 the portion of the Sales Tax Received by City which is
attributable to the applicable owner's Site Parcel
17 during the given period of computation less (y) one-
quarter (1/4) of the Base Sales Tax for the given period
18 of computation, by the Applicable Percentage(s). In the
event any site Parcel is further subdivided, Agency
19 shall have no obligation to make any Incentive 'Payment
applicable thereto until such time as it has received
20 assurances with respect thereto in the nature of the
assurance described in Section 401c., below, executed by
21 all owners.
22 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that, using the method of calculating the site Parcel
23 Tax Excess described above, for any given site Parcel
one-quarter (1/4) of the Base Sales Tax is greater than
24 the Sales Tax Received by City with respect to said Site
Parcel, the site Parcels for which such is not the case
25
26
27
28
J\AO2330lT, NAP 1-/7
1 shall each have their respective site Parcel Tax Excess
reduced by an equal portion of such excess. By way of
2 example only, assuming that for year "x" the Sales Tax
Received by City is $1,000,000, the Bases Sales Tax is
3 $600,000, and there was one dealership operating on each
of the site Parcels during the entirety of year "x"
4 (Site Parcels 1, 2, 3 and 4 being responsible for,
respectively, $350,000.00, $350,000.00, $225,000.00 and
5 $75,000.00 of the total $1,000,000 Sales Tax Received by
City), the owners of site Parcels 1, 2 and 3 will
6 receive 75% of, respectively, $175,000.00, $175,000.00
and $50,000.00, and the owner of site Parcel 4 shall
7 receive $0.00.
8 c. Post-Incentive Payments. Upon the first
anniversary of the Incentive Payment Expiration Date and
9 occurring thereafter on an annual basis until the ninth
anniversary of the Incentive Payment Expiration Date,
10 provided that in each such year the Sales Tax Received by
City for such period of computation exceeds the Base Sales
11 Tax for the same period, Agency shall make payments (the
"Post-Incentive Payments") to each Major Brand Auto
12 Dealership operating within the applicable computation period
equal to the product of thirty-seven and one-half percent
13 (37!¡%) of the site Parcel Tax Excess attributable to the site
Parcel upon which such dealership is located (which
14 calculation of Site Parcel Tax Excess shall be subject to the
same adjustments as are described in clause (ii), above).
15 The foregoing described allocation assumes that each Site
Parcel shall have no more than one dealership operating
16 thereupon. To the extent that there may be more than one
such dealership operating upon a site Parcel, Agency shall
17 have no obligation to make the applicable Post-Incentive
Payment until such time as the dealerships operating upon
18 such site Parcel deliver a written instruction to the
Executive Director (in form and content acceptable to Agency
19 general counsel and executed by all such dealerships)
specifying the manner of apportionment and holding the Agency
20 harmless in connection with payment irt accordance therewith.
21 d. Nature of Incentive Payments and
Post-Incentive Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the
22 contrary in this Section 401, it is understood and agreed
that although the method of calculation of the Incentive
23 Payments and the Post-Incentive Payments is based upon sales
tax received by City, in no event shall such method of

1 calculation constitute a commitment by City or Agency of
sales tax proceeds. The parties acknowledge that Agency's
2 obligation to make Incentive Payments and Post-Incentive
Payments, based upon the calculations described above, is a
3 separate obligation of Agency of which Agency shall be
obligated to arrange for a source or sources of repayment,
4 and in no event shall constitute an obligation of the City.
Additionally, Agency's obligations to pay the Incentive
5 Payments and the Post-Incentive Payments shall be an
indebtedness of the Agency for the purposes of
6 Sections 33670, gt~. of the Community Redevelopment Law.
7 e. Miscellaneous.
8 (i) Accountina. Agency shall have the right
91 to receive from Redevelo~er, and Redeveloper shall
deliver to Agency within thirty (30) days fo~lowing
10 I Agency's request therefore, an accounting and status
report concerning and setting forth the present status
and amounts of retail sales proceeds applicable to the
11 Site for the particular Agency Fiscal Years in question,
including, without limitation, sales tax records
12 submitted to the State Board of Equalization.
13 (11) Calculation of California Sales Tax. As
provided above, the definition of Base Sales Tax is
14 calculated on the assumption that the California sales
tax to be returned to the City for use as unrestricted,
15 general fund revenues shall remain one percent (1\).
However, in the event such percentage of California
16 sales tax is modified in subsequent years, the parties
shall cooperate to reformulate the definiti~n of Base
17 Sales Tax to take into consideration such modified
percentage. Further, in the event such percentage is
18 increased, the calculation of Sales Tax Received by City
shall be limited to the originally contemplated one
19 percent (1%) amount, while in the event such percentage
is decreased, the calculation of Sales Tax Received by
20 City shall be based upon such actual decreased
percentage.
21
(iii) Failure to Operate. Notwithsta~ding any
22 provision in this Section 401 to the contrary, it is
understood ãnd agreed that in the event that either: ,
23 (x) the Incentive Payment Commencement Date fails to
occur within the time frame set forth in the Schedule of
24 Performance, or (y) such dates having occurred within
the time frame dsscribed in the Schedule of Performance,
25 thereafter, .for any continuous period of thirty (30)
days or longer (or within any given one-year period in
26 the event of any noncontinuous aggregated period of
ninety (90) days) there fails to be operating upon the
27 Site at least two Major Brand Auto Dealerships, Agency
shall cease to have any further obligations to make
