HORTON (hereafter "DEVELOPER") pursuant to the authority of §§ 65864 et seq. of the California Government Code and Dublin Municipal Code, Chapter 8.56. CITY and DEVELOPER are, from time-to-time, individually referred to in this Agreement as a "Party," and are collectively referred to as Parties. RECITALS A. California Government Code §§65864 et seq. ("Development Agreement Statute") and Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin Municipal Code (hereafter "Chapter 8.56") authorize the CITY to enter into a Development Agreement for the development of real property with any person having a legal or equitable interest in such property in order to establish certain development rights in such property. B. DEVELOPER desires to develop and holds an equitable interest in certain real property known generally as "Transit Center Site E-1" and consisting of approximately 4.1 acres of land, located in the City of Dublin, County of Alameda, State of California, which is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and which real property is hereafter called the "Property." The Alameda County Surplus Property Authority ("COUNTY") presently is the fee owner of the Property. C. The City Council adopted the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan by Resolution No. 53-93 which Plan is applicable to the Property. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan requires DEVELOPER to enter into a development agreement. D. The Property is within an approximately 91-acre master-planned area ("the Transit Center Property") that was the subject in 2002 of a General Plan Amendment, a specific plan amendment to add the area to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and a master tentative map to create master parcels for development ("the Transit Center Approvals"). E. In conjunction with the Transit Center Approvals, CITY and COUNTY entered into a certain Master Development Agreement for the Dublin Transit Center, dated May 6, 2003 ("the Master Development Agreement"). It sets forth certain obligations of the property owner and subsequent purchasers of property within the Transit Center Property, and those obligations include a requirement that each individual project within the Transit Center Project enter into a development agreement with the City. F. Among other things, the Transit Center Approvals allow DEVELOPER to propose development of up to 300 additional residential units on Transit Center Site E-1 although the Property is designated "Campus Office" under the Eastern Dublin Specific Development Agreement Between City of Dublin and Western Pacific Housing, Page 1 of 15 for the Dublin Transit Center Site E-1 Project DRAFT: December 5, 2005 790196.2 Plan (known as Site D-1 and E-1). G. On October 4, 2005, the City Council approved an amendment to the Master Development Agreement that sets forth the affordable housing obligations of the Transit Center Project in the event that the 300 additional residential units are constructed within the Transit Center. H. Consistent with the terms of the Transit Center Approvals, DEVELOPER proposes the development of the Property with 300 condominiums and approximately 15,000 square feet of ground floor retail (the "Project"). I. DEVELOPER has applied for, and CITY has approved or is processing, various land use approvals in connection with the development of the Project, including, without limitation, a Stage 2 Development Plan (Ord. No. ); Site Development Review (City Council Resolution No. ); and a vesting tentative parcel map (Planning Commission Resolution No. ). All such approvals collectively, together with any approvals or permits now or hereafter issued with respect to the Project are referred to as the "Project Approvals." J. Development of the Property by DEVELOPER may be subject to certain future discretionary approvals, which, if granted, shall automatically become part of the Project Approvals as each such approval becomes effective. K. Project. CITY desires the timely, efficient, orderly and proper development of the L. The City Council has found that, among other things, this Development Agreement is consistent with its General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and has been reviewed and evaluated in accordance with the Development Agreement Statute and Chapter 8.56. M. CITY and DEVELOPER have reached agreement and desire to express herein a Development Agreement that will facilitate development of the Project subject to conditions set forth herein. N. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the City Council adopted Resolution No. 02-05 finding that the Project is within the scope of the Program EIR prepared for the Dublin Transit Center Approvals, which was certified pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Resolution 215-02); and O.
