I .07 .DOC Related Studies and Approvals for the Eastern Dublin Property Owners Annexation Area (Attachment 2). FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The costs of administering the fee program are included in the fee, therefore there is no net impact to the City's General Fund. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Eastern Dublin Property Owners Annexation Area (EDPOA), also known as Fallon Village, consists of 13 contiguous parcels totaling 1,134.4 acres in Eastern Dublin. In September 2002, the City Council authorized and directed Staff to begin the process of updating land uses and other related planning efforts for the EDPOA by preparing the necessary studies and documents, including a Resource Management Plan for possible adoption of a General Plan Amendment (GP A) and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment (SPA), related Stage 1 Development Plan for the EDPOA, and associated environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), (collectively, the "GPNSPA Study"). The City Council further authorized the associated Staff time, legal expenses, and the cost of consultants to prepare the GP NSP A Study (Resolution No. 167-02). Background State law requires every city to have an adequate and up-to-date General Plan (Gov. Code Sections 65300 et seq., 65750-65763). In addition, Government Code Section 66014 provides that fees charged to defray the cost of planning services may include the costs reasonably necessary to prepare and revise the plans and policies that a local agency is required to adopt before it can make any necessary findings and determinations. Moreover, Government Code Section 65456(a) authorizes the adoption of a fee to defray the costs of preparation, adoption, and administration of a specific plan and the associated environmental documents. Existing Fees for Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area In November 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 115-94, which imposed a fee on all properties within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area for the costs incurred in preparation ofthe Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, as adopted by Resolution No. 53-93 (the "1994 Fee"). In addition, in February 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 16-98, which imposed a fee on all property within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area for the costs incurred in administering and implementing the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the costs associated with the implementation of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR Mitigation Monitoring Program (the "1998 Fee"). 2003 Fee for General Plan and Specific Plan Amendments In March 2002, the Eastern Dublin Property Owners Annexation Area ("EDPOA") was annexed to the City and became part of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area. In October 2003, the City Council adopted a Resolution imposing a fee on EDPOA property owners for the costs of the GP NSP A Study in the amount of $212 per acre (Resolution No. 198-03 which can be found in Attachment 3). Staff calculated the fee by calculating the total costs of planning efforts in support of the GPNSPA Study as of July 31, 2003 ($237,116) and dividing that amount by the total acreage included in EDPOA (then estimated at 1,119), and rounding the result to the nearest whole number which resulted in a per acre fee of $212 (the "2003 Fee"). In addition, the 2003 Resolution specified that upon completion of the GP NSP A Study, the City Council would update the fee to recover the full costs incurred by the City in preparing the GP NSP A Study, including the costs that were unknown, but anticipated, in 2003. The City Council approved the GP A and Page 2 of 4 SPA for the EDPOA on December 6, 2005 (Resolution No. 223-05). The total costs to prepare the GPA and SPA have since been identified in order to update the fee. However, the 1994 Fee and 1998 Fee are still in effect and applicable to the following properties, in addition to the 2003 fee: Property Owners Subject to 1994 Fee, 1998 Fee and 2003 Fee (as amended) Current Assessor's Parcel # Current Acrea e 985-0027-006 & 007 985-0027-002 985-0001-006-03 985-0001-005-02 905-0001-004-04 985-0027-004 905-0001-004-03 985-0027 -005 First American Title (Jordan Trust Chen Anderson 189.7 140.1 50.3 49.6 40.2 1.1 9.3 0.4 EBJ Partners, LP Monte Vista Pleasanton Ranch Investments The aforementioned property owners must pay the 1994 Fee, 1998 Fee and 2003 Fee (as amended) because the rights conferred by each step of the land use planning benefited these property owners, regardless of whether they took advantage of the benefits by developing the property. The other EDPOA property owners will not be subject to the 1994 and 1998 Fees because they were not covered by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan at those times. ANALYSIS: Proposed Update to the 2003 GP A/SP A Study Fee The proposed Resolution (Attachment 1) serves to update the 2003 Fee to include the full costs incurred by the City in preparing the GP NSP A Study the ("EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee"). The updated EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee is calculated identically to the 2003 Fee. Staff calculated the total costs of planning efforts in support of the GP NSP A Study, which are summarized in Table 1 below and further described in Attachment 1: Resource Mana ement Plan Contract Cit 's Staff time Consultant's fees Cit Attorne s' fees Total Costs Table 1: Costs Associated with 2003 GP A/SP A Stud Cost $160,803.15 $237,413.12 $665,389.84 $209,121.62 $1,272,727.73 Over the course of the EDPOA planning process, a more accurate measurement of the EDPOA acreage was obtained, increasing the 1,119 acres used in the 2003 Fee by 15 acres, to a total of 1,134.4 acres in EDPOA. Thus, the proposed Resolution includes an updated fee of$I,121.94 per acre, which is the result of$I,272,727.73 total costs incurred divided by 1,134.4 acres. In addition to establishing the amount of the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee, the proposed Resolution lists the types of approvals subject to the Fee and the types of approvals that are exempt from the Fee. Finally, the proposed Resolution provides that the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee shall supersede the existing 2003 Fee once it becomes effective, sixty (60) days following the adoption of the Page 3 of 4 proposed Resolution, in compliance with state law. In the meantime, any applicant who makes a payment towards the 2003 Fee shall receive a credit against the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee when it is imposed. Reimbursement Agreement As an owner of a substantial amount of property in the EDPOA, Dublin RE Investors, LLC and its assignor, Braddock & Logan Group II, LP, agreed to provide the City with funds adequate to pay the costs to prepare the GP NSP A Study. Accordingly, Dublin RE Investors, LLC has paid the City the total costs incurred in preparation of the GPNSPA Study in the amount of $1,272,727.73. The second proposed Resolution (Attachment 2) approves a Reimbursement and Credit Agreement, which provides that as revenues are collected from the property owners within the EDPOA, the City will reimburse Dublin RE Investors for the funds advanced to the City to prepare the GPNSPA Study, less Dublin RE Investors' proportional share ofthe costs as calculated under the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee Resolution. The Reimbursement Agreement also provides that when Dublin RE Investors seeks a discretionary approval subject to the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee, it shall receive a credit against such Fee, up to the amount of reimbursements then owing to Dublin RE Investors, and the amount of the reimbursements will be reduced accordingly. Finally, the Reimbursement Agreement provides that Dublin RE Investors' right to reimbursement under the Agreement shall be personal to Dublin RE Investors and shall continue notwithstanding subsequent sale or transfer of the EDPOA property. NOTICING: Staff sent a notice to all property owners within the EDPOA and to interested parties advising them of the intent to adopt the updated EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee. A public hearing notice for the updated Fee was also published twice in the Valley Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. . RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Open the Public Hearing; 2) Receive Staff presentation; 3) Receive testimony from the Applicant; 4) Receive testimony from the public; 5) Close the public hearing and deliberate; 6) Adopt Resolution Updating the Fee to Recover Costs of Preparing Amendments to the General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and Related Studies and Approvals (Attachment 1); and 7) Adopt Resolution Approving Reimbursement and Credit Agreement between the City, Dublin RE Investors, LLC, and Braddock & Logan Group II, LP for the Costs of Preparing a General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment and Related Studies and Approvals for the Eastern Dublin Property Owners Annexation Area (Attachment 2).

Developer has previously advanced funds to the City toward the cost of the GPAlSPA Study in the amount of $1 ,272,727.73 (One million two hundred and seventy-two thousand seven hundred twenty-seven dollars and 73/100)(the "Advance"), which represents the total costs incurred for the GPA/SPA Study as set forth in Attachment 5. Developer may, subject to the available balance set forth in Section 9, receive: a) reimbursement pursuant to Section 4; and 2) credit pursuant to Section 7. 3. EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee. The GPAlSPA Study will benefit all property in the EDPOA, not just the Developer's property. The City has adopted the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee, by which all property in the EDPOA, including that owned or controlled by the Developer, will pay its proportionate cost for the GPAlSPA Study. 4. Reimbursement. Developer may receive reimbursements collected by the City from Non-Developer EDPOA property owners pursuant to the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee. At such time as a reimbursement is received under this provision, an offsetting reduction will be made to reduce the amount of credits previously granted to the Developer as recorded in Section 9. City shall have no obligation to reimburse developer pursuant to this Agreement if balance of credits held by Developer have been previously exhausted. 5. Time and Manner of Disbursement. Disbursement of Fees collected shall be made within 120 days of collection by the City. The right to reimbursement shall be personal to Developer and shall continue notwithstanding Developer's subsequent sale l21J61 or transfer of Developer's property in the EDPOA. Developer shall have the right to assign its interest in the entire remaining reimbursement credit balance, to another person or entity at any time, through an amendment to this Agreement executed by Developer and City. Developer hereby directs that reimbursement due to Developer shall be payable to the Developer and mailed to: Dublin RE Investors, L.L.C. 4155 Blackhawk Plaza Circle, Suite 201 Danville, CA 94506 Attn: Jeff Lawrence 6. Administrative Fee for Reimbursement. The Parties agree that the City shall deduct one percent (1%) from all reimbursement payments processed to the Developer as an administrative fee to cover the administrative costs associated with establishing and monitoring this Reimbursement and Credit Agreement. 7. Credit for Developer's Share of Costs. When Developer seeks discretionary approvals subject to the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee for development of property under Developer's ownership, or for which Developer is acting as the applicant, Developer may use credits in-lieu of paying the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan fee to the extent that there is a positive balance available. 8. Developer Request for Credit. Developer shall request in writing the application of credits and City shall reduce the total credit outstanding accordingly. 9. Balance Available for Reimbursement or Credit. Developer hereby agrees to apply $547,730.68 of its Advance to pay the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee for APN 905-0002-003 and APN 985-0028-002; thus, the total Advance available for reimbursement or credit pursuant to this Agreement is reduced to $724,997.05. 10. Inflation and Interest. Neither the amount of the credit nor the right to reimbursement will be increased for inflation or will accrue interest. 11. Annual Report. City shall at least annually report to the Developer the status of the credit and an accounting of all reimbursements made for the year or the use of credits by Developer. 12. Term. Unless extended by mutual agreement, City's obligation to collect and Developer's entitlement to receive reimbursement under this Agreement shall cease at the earlier of the following: 1) December 31,2023 or 2) after the City collects the entire reimbursement and Developer is reimbursed or has exhausted their credit for all funds advanced. 13. AssiQnment and Indemnitv. Assignor agrees that all rights and obligations under this Agreement shall vest solely in the Developer. Developer agrees to indemnify and hold City harmless for any amounts advanced by Assignor for the EDPOA-Fallon Area Specific Plan Fee for which Assignor seeks repayment or reimbursement from the City. 1~1fl 14.
