THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement" or this
"Development Agreement") is made and entered in the City of Dublin on this
day of , 2011, by and between the CITY OF DUBLIN, a Municipal
Corporation (hereafter "CITY") and James Tong and Mei Fong Tong (hereafter
"DEVELOPER") pursuant to the authority of 65864 et seq. of the California
Government Code and Dublin Municipal Code, Chapter 8.56. CITY and

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 intends to purchase, desires to develop, and holds
an equitable interest in certain real property consisting of approximately 23.46
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."
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 as a condition of the development of the Property.
D. The Property is within Area G, which is subject to a Master
Development Agreement between the City of Dublin and the Lins dated June 29,
1999 and recorded in Official Records Alameda County on July 8, 1999 as
Instrument No. 99251790, and a Supplemental Development Agreement
between the City of Dublin and the Lins dated April 18, 2000 and recorded in
Official Records of Alameda County on November 13, 2000 as Instrument No.
200335772.
E. DEVELOPER proposes the development of the Property, which
property is approximately 23.46 acres, and DEVELOPER proposes to develop an
initial phase of the project on approximately 3.72 gross acres, consisting of two
commercial structures totaling approximately 82,864 square feet and a four-level
parking structure ("the Initial Phase"). At a later date, DEVELOPER will develop
the remaining portions of the Property. The Initial Phase and the remaining
phase or phases of the development are collectively referred to as "the Project."

Review and a Conditional Use Permit (Planning Commission Resolution No. 09-
29) and a vesting tentative map (Community Development Director Resolution
No. 09-10). 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."
G. 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.
It is specifically anticipated that the Project will require additional site
development review approvals for the remaining pads in the shopping center.
H. CITY desires the timely, efficient, orderly and proper development
of the Project.
1. 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.

express herein a Development Agreement that will facilitate development of the
Project subject to conditions set forth herein.

scope of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Eastern Dublin General
Plan Amendment and Specific Plan (SCH 91103064) which was certified by the
Council by Resolution No. 51-93 and the Addenda dated May 4, 1993 and

transferred, to such Transferee, provided, however, that: no such transfer, sale or

as on-site drainage systems for the areas to be occupied, shall be improved
consistent with the tentative map conditions of approval and to the satisfaction
and requirements of the Dublin Public Works Department applying the City's and
Zone 7 (Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 7)
standards and policies which are in force and effect at the time of issuance of the
permit for the proposed improvements. Pursuant to Alameda County's National
Pollution Discharge Elimination Permit (NPDES) No. CAS0029831 with the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board, or pursuant to subsequent
permits adopted by the Board, all grading, construction and development
activities within the City of Dublin must comply with the provisions of the Clean

sites within the City during construction, and all activities shall adhere to Best
Management Practices.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City's Public Works Director
may, in his or her sole discretion and upon receipt of documentation in a form
satisfactory to the Public Works Director that assures completion, allow
Developer to defer completion of discrete portions of any public improvements for
the Project if the Public Works Director determines that to do so would not
jeopardize the public health, safety or welfare.
Subparagraph 5 3 3 - Phasing Timing
This Agreement contains no requirements that Developer must initiate or
complete development of the Project within any period of time set by the City. It
is the intention of this provision that Developer be able to develop the Property in
