FOR "THE GREEN" PROJECT
I EXHIBIT A
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement" or "Development Agreement") is
made and entered into in the City of Dublin on this day of 2014, by and
between the CITY OF DUBLIN, a Municipal Corporation ("City") and BHV/STOCKBRIDGE
EMERALD PLACE LAND COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, its
successors and assigns ("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 ("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 owns certain real property ("the Property") consisting of
approximately 27.5 acres of land at the south side of Martinelli Way between Hacienda Drive to
the east and Arnold Drive to the west, (APNs 986-0033-004-00; 986-0033-005-02 and 986-003-
006-00) and that is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference.
C. Developer, or its predecessor in interest, has applied for, and City has approved or
is processing, various land use approvals in connection with the development of the proposed
project (the "Project"), including, without limitation, a General Plan Amendment and Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan Amendment (Resolution. No. , adopted by the City Council on
2014); a Planned Development Zoning and Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan
and Rezoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. , adopted by the City Council on
2014), Site Development Review (for the commercial portion or the project and the
residential portion of the project as separate applications) and a Vesting Tentative Map and this
Development Agreement. 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."
D. The Project includes construction of a mixed-use residential and commercial
project including up to 40,000 gross square feet of retail and restaurant floor area and up to 400
residential dwelling units on the site, landscaped plazas and open spaces as well as grading of the
site, extension of utilities, and related improvements.
E. City desires the timely, efficient, orderly and proper development of the Project.
F. The City Council has found that, among other things, this Development
Agreement is consistent with its General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan as
amended and has been reviewed and evaluated in accordance with the Development
Agreement Statute and Chapter 8.56.
2
G. 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.
H. The Project is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, which was the
subject of a Program Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan Amendment and Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan (SCH# 91103064), certified by the City Council in Resolution No. 51-93
("`Eastern Dublin EIR"). The Eastern Dublin EIR identified Significant impacts from
development of the Eastern Dublin area, including the Property site, some of which could not be
mitigated to less than significant. Upon approval of the Eastern Dublin General Plan
Amendment and Specific Plan, the City Council adopted mitigations, a mitigation monitoring
program, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations.
I. In 2004, the City approved amendments to the General plan and Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan to change the land use designation on the 27.5 acre site from Campus Office to
general Commercial that would have allowed an IKEA furniture store and other commercial
uses on the site. The City certified a Supplemental EIR (the "IKEA EIR") SCH# 2003092076
to assess the impacts of that land use change, and that SEIR was certified on March 16, 2004 by
City Council Resolution No. 44-04. In 2008, the City approved a Stage 2 Planned
Development Rezoning, Site Development review and a Development Agreement for a 305,000
square foot shopping center on the site. An Addendum was adopted along with the approval of
the Stage 1 Planned Development Rezoning in 2007. The Addendum concluded that the
potentially significant impacts of developing the site had been adequately described and
analyzed in the Eastern Dublin EIR and the IKEA EIR and that no new or more severe
significant impacts would result from future development of the site.
J. For the Project, the City prepared an Initial Study to determine if additional
review of the proposed Project was required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15162.
Based on the Initial Study, the City prepared a Supplemental EIR, dated
(Resolution. No. adopted by the City Council on ), describing the
Project and identifying new impacts of the Project, some of which could not be mitigated to a
less than significant level, as well as new mitigation measures for the proposed Project in
addition to those addressed in the Eastern Dublin EIR and the IKEA EIR. Upon approval of
the Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment, Stage I and Stage 2
Development Plan and PD Rezoning, Site Development Review (Commercial Buildings only),
Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and this Development Agreement, the City Council
adopted mitigations, a mitigation monitoring program and a Statement of Overriding
Considerations.
K. On 2014, the City Council adopted Ordinance No.
approving this Development Agreement ("the Approving Ordinance"). The
Approving Ordinance will take effect on ("the Approval Date").

other impacts of the Project, the dedication of any land, or the construction of any public
improvement or facilities. City agrees, however, that it will not impose any such fees other than

Agreement prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement or
require changes in plans, maps, or permits approved by the City, the parties shall meet and

federal or state law or regulation. Any such amendment or suspension of the Agreement shall be
subject to approval by the City Council in accordance with Chapter 8.56.

parties may pursue all other remedies at law or in equity that are not otherwise provided for in
this Agreement or in the City's regulations governing development agreements, expressly
including the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement. The foregoing
notwithstanding, the Parties agree that the remedy of termination may only be exercised in the
event of a material breach of this Agreement after notice and a public hearing as set forth in

non-defaulting party shall serve written notice of such default upon the defaulting party. If the
default is not cured by the defaulting party within thirty (30) days after service of such notice of
default, the non-defaulting party may then commence any legal or equitable action to enforce its
8
rights under this Agreement; provided, however, that, if the default cannot be cured within such
thirty (30) day period, the non-defaulting party shall refrain from any such legal or equitable
action so long as the defaulting party begins to cure such default within such thirty (30) day
period and diligently pursues such cure to completion. Failure to give notice shall not constitute

herein, in no event shall damages be awarded against the City upon an event of default or upon
termination of this Agreement.
10. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

effect and a binding obligation of the parties, (b) this Agreement has not been amended or
modified either orally or in writing, or, if so amended, identifying the amendments, and (c) to the

any such defaults. A party receiving a request hereunder shall execute and return such certificate
within thirty (30) days following the receipt thereof, or such longer period as may reasonably be
agreed to by the parties. City Manager of the City shall be authorized to execute any certificate
requested by Developer. Should the party receiving the request not execute and return such
certificate within the applicable period, this shall not be deemed to be a default, provided that
such party shall be deemed to have certified that the statements in clauses (a) through (c) of this
Section are true, and any party may rely on such deemed certification.
11. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION: CERTAIN RIGHTS OF CURE.
11.1 Mortgagee Protection. This Agreement shall be superior and senior to any lien
placed upon the Property, or any portion thereof after the date of recording this Agreement,
including the lien for any deed of trust or mortgage ("Mortgage"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no breach hereof shall defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the lien of any
Mortgage made in good faith and for value, but all the terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement shall be binding upon and effective against any person or entity, including any deed
of trust beneficiary or mortgagee ("Mortgagee") who acquires title to the Property, or any
portion thereof, by foreclosure, trustee's sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise.
11.2 Mortgagee Not Obli gated. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1 above,
no Mortgagee shall have any obligation or duty under this Agreement, before or after foreclosure
or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to construct or complete the construction of improvements, or to
guarantee such construction of improvements, or to guarantee such construction or completion,
or to pay, perform or provide any fee, dedication, improvements or other exaction or imposition;
provided, however, that the Mortgagee shall not be entitled to devote the Property to any uses or
to construct any improvements thereon other than those uses or improvements provided for or
authorized by the Project Approvals or by this Agreement. A breach of any obligation secured
by any mortgage or the lien against the mortgaged interest or a foreclosure under any mortgage
9
or other lien shall not by itself defeat, diminish, render invalid or unenforceable, or otherwise
impair the obligations or rights of Developer under this Agreement,
11.3 Notice of Default to Mortgagee and Extension of Right to Cure. If the City
receives notice from a Mortgagee requesting a copy of any notice of default given Developer
hereunder and specifying the address for service thereof, then the City shall deliver to such
Mortgagee, concurrently with service thereon to Developer, any notice given to Developer with
respect to any claim by the City that Developer has committed an event of default. Each
Mortgagee shall have the right, at its option, during the same period available to Developer to
cure or remedy, or to commence to cure or remedy, the event of default claimed set forth in the
City's notice. City, through its City Manager, may grant a sixty (60) day cure period which can
be extended for not more than an additional one-hundred and twenty (120) days upon request of
Developer or a Mortgagee.
12. SEVERABILITY.
The unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality of any provision, covenant, condition, or
term of this Agreement shall not render the other provisions unenforceable, invalid, or illegal.
13. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS.
If the City or Developer initiates any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in addition to any other relief to which it may otherwise be
entitled. If any person or entity not a party to this Agreement initiates an action at law or in
equity to challenge the validity of any provision of this Agreement or the Project Approvals, the
parties shall cooperate in defending such action. Developer shall bear its own costs of defense as
a real party in interest in any such action, and shall reimburse the City for all reasonable court
costs and attorneys' fees expended by the City in defense of any such action or other proceeding.
14. TRANSFERS AND ASSIGNMENTS.
14.1 Right to Assign. Developer may wish to sell, transfer, or assign all or portions of
its Property to another entity (each such other entity is referred to as a "Transferee"). In
connection with any such sale, transfer, or assignment to a Transferee, Developer may sell,
transfer, or assign to such Transferee any or all rights, interests, and obligations of Developer
arising hereunder and that pertain to the portion of the Property being sold or transferred to such
Transferee, provided, however, that: no such transfer, sale, or assignment of Developer's rights,
interests, and obligations hereunder shall occur without prior written notice to City and approval
by the City Manager, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. In determining the reasonableness of any consent or failure to consent, the City
Manager shall consider whether the proposed Transferee has sufficient development experience
and creditworthiness to perform the obligations to be transferred. The foregoing
notwithstanding, the following shall not be deemed a "Transfer" for purposes of this Agreement:
(i) any sale, pledge, assignment or other transfer of the entire Project Site to an affiliate of
Developer and (ii) any change in the corporate form of Developer or its Affiliates such that a
transfer from a limited liability company to a corporation or partnership that does not affect or
10
change the beneficial ownership of the Project Site; provided, however that Developer shall
provide to the City written notice of such permitted change with such backup materials or
information reasonably requested by the City. In addition, Developer has the right to enter into
service contracts with third parties, including but not limited to construction and other service
contracts, to perform work required by Developer under this Agreement. No such contract shall
be deemed a Transfer under this Agreement.
14.2 Approval and Notice of Sale. Transfer or Assignment. The City Manager shall
consider and decide on any transfer, sale, or assignment within ten (10) days after Developer's
notice, provided all necessary documents, certifications, and other information are provided to
the City Manager to enable the City Manager to determine whether the proposed Transferee can
perform the Developer's obligations hereunder. Notice of any such approved sale, transfer, or
assignment(which includes a description of all rights, interests and obligations that have been
transferred and those which have been retained by Developer) shall be recorded in the official
records of Alameda County, in a form reasonably acceptable to the City Manager, concurrently
with such sale, transfer, or assignment.
14.3 Release Upon Transfer. Upon the transfer, sale, or assignment of all or a portion
of Developer's rights, interests, and obligations hereunder pursuant to Paragraph 14.1 of this
Agreement, Developer shall be released from the obligations under this Agreement, with respect
to the Property transferred, sold, or assigned, arising subsequent to the date of City Manager
approval of such transfer, sale, or assignment; provided, however, that if any Transferee
approved by the City Manager expressly assumes all of the rights, interests, and obligations of
Developer under this Agreement, Developer shall be released with respect to all such rights,
interests, and assumed obligations. In any event, the transferee, purchaser, or assignee shall be
subject to all the provisions hereof and shall provide all necessary documents, certifi cations, and
other necessary information prior to City Manager approval. If a Transferee assumes the
obligations of Developer with respect to a portion of the Developer's rights, interests and
obligations hereunder, if such Transferee defaults under this Agreement, such default shall not
constitute a default by Developer or its Affiliates or any other Transferee not affiliated with the
defaulting party and no default by Developer or its Affiliates with respect to its remaining
obligations hereunder shall constitute a default by any Transferee not affiliated with Developer..
14.4 Developer's Right to Retain Specified Rights or Obligations. Notwithstanding
Paragraph 14 of this Agreement, Developer may withhold from a sale, transfer, or assignment of
this Agreement certain rights, interests, and/or obligations, which Developer shall retain,
provided that Developer specifies such rights, interests, and/or obligations in a written document
to be appended to this Agreement and recorded with the Alameda County Recorder prior to the
sale, transfer, or assignment of the Property. Developer's Transferee shall then have no interest
or obligations for such rights, interests and obligations, and this Agreement shall remain
applicable to Developer with respect to such retained rights, interests, and/or obligations.
15. AGREEMENTS RUN WITH THE LAND

Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, successors and assigns,

provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitude and shall constitute
covenants running with the land pursuant to applicable laws, including, but not limited to,

doing, some act on the Property hereunder, or with respect to any owned property (a) is for the
benefit of such properties and is a burden upon such properties, (b) runs with such properties,

withhold approval of a settlement otherwise acceptable to Developer.

Exhibit B
COMMUNITY BENEFITS
The Developer shall provide a community benefit contribution in the aggregate amount
equal to the number of dwelling units in the project (currently estimated at 372) multiplied by
$7,500. The aggregate amount of the Community Benefit Contribution, based on the current
estimated unit count of 372 units, is Two Million Seven Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars
($2,790,000) (the "Community Benefit Aggregate Contribution") and shall be paid in the
following amounts and manner, subject to Excusable Delay. The number of units attributable to
any particular neighborhood or parcel may increase up to 400 units or decrease from the
representative amounts shown on the vesting tentative map. If the number of units proposed for
Site Development Review increases or decreases, as the case may be, the Community Benefit
Contribution shall increase or decrease, by $7,500 per additional unit, and the contribution
amount below shall by increased or decreased, to reflect the number of units in each
neighborhood. The number of units shall be determined at the time a purchase and sale
agreement with a third party buyer is consummated or (if Developer or an affiliate is developing
the neighborhood),a permit is issued for the construction of a vertical building (the "Vertical
Building Permit").
1. Method and Timing of Payment.
The Project currently is planned for 372 residential units and additional commercial
development. Developer has identified six neighborhoods in the project that are depicted in the
attached diagram. The following table identifies the lots shown on the approved tentative map
that are in each neighborhood along with the proposed number of approved units in each
neighborhood:
Neighborhood Lot Nos. on No. of Units Contribution
Tentative Map Amount
1 1-16 84 $630,000
2 17-24, 27-32 93 $697,500
3 50-60 60 $450,000
4 37-42, 44-48 72 $540,000
5 33-34, 42-43 39 $292,500
6 25-26, 35-36 24 $180,000
Totals 372 $2,790,000.00
If Developer or an affiliate is developing the building, such party shall contribute the amount
associated with each neighborhood prior to issuance of the first Vertical Building Permit within
1
the neighborhood, or if a third party buyer is purchasing a portion of the Project Site, within
thirty (30) days following the close of escrow of the sale of any portion of the applicable
neighborhood.
2. Use of Community Benefit Contribution.
Initially, Developer shall pay the City forty percent (40%) of the required contributions
and deposit the remaining sixty percent (60%) of the required contribution in an escrow account
controlled by the City and Developer (the "Escrow Account"). The funds in the Escrow Account
are to be used to pay the Dublin San Ramon Services District capacity reserve fees for local and
regional sewage systems for restaurant users within the Project as directed by City and
Developer. The contributions shall be apportioned in such manner until such time as the
aggregate amount of contributions to the Escrow Account equals Eight Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($850,000). Thereafter, one hundred percent (100%) of the required
contributions shall be paid directly to the City. Any funds remaining in the Escrow Account one
year after the issuance of building permits in the project that would result in the construction of
190 or more units shall be paid to the City.
All provisions in this Exhibit B, Community Benefits, shall survive the expiration of this
Agreement.
2
Exhibit C
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Developer proposes the development of 372 residential units on the Property. Pursuant to
the City's Inclusionary Zoning Regulations (Chapter 8.68 of the Dublin Municipal Code) ("the
Regulations"), developers of more than 20 residential units are required to set aside 12.5% of the
units in the project as affordable units as therein specified. Developer is therefore obligated to
provide forty-seven (47) affordable units ("Affordable Housing Obligation").
Under the Regulations, certain exceptions permit developers to satisfy the obligation
other than through on-site construction. For instance,part of this obligation can be satisfied
through the payment of a fee in-lieu of construction ("In-Lieu Fees"). In addition, developers
can satisfy their affordable housing obligations by, among other mechanisms, obtaining City
Council approval of an alternative method of compliance that the City Council finds meet the
purposes of the Regulations. Developer shall satisfy its Affordable Housing Obligation through
the following "alternative method of compliance" under City Code Sec. 8.68.040E:
1. On-Site Affordable Units. The Developer shall provide over the course of the
development of the Project Site fourteen (14) affordable units within the project (the "On-Site
Units"), which number shall be adjusted to reflect thirty percent (30%) of Developer's 12.5%
affordable unit obligation, should the total number of residential units in the project increase or
decrease. Unless the Community Development Director otherwise finds that the On-Site Units
will be reasonably dispersed through the Project, the individual neighborhoods shall contain the
following number of units: Neighborhood 1, 3 units; Neighborhood 2, 4 units; Neighborhood 3,
2 units; Neighborhood 4, 3 units; Neighborhood 5, 1 unit; and Neighborhood 6, 1 unit. Dublin
Municipal Code Section 8.68.030.13 shall govern the allocation between low and moderate units
within the On-Site Units and Section 8.68.030.E shall govern unit mix and design of the On-Site
Units. Developer shall enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement within 180 days of the
Effective Date of this Agreement.
2. In Lieu Fee Payments. The Developer shall pay to the City a Fee In Lieu of
Construction for 16 units of the Affordable Housing Obligation in either of the following
amounts:
(1) $1,600,000 no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Effective Date
of this Agreement(subject to Excusable Delay); or
(2) An amount equal to the then-applicable Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee for 16 units
in the amount and at the time required by Resolution 56-02,
3. Affordable Housing Credits. The Developer shall purchase directly from
Eden Housing seventeen (17) affordable housing credits in an amount equal to $100,000 per
credit, or One Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars in the aggregate. ($1,700,000). The
Developer shall purchase the Affordable Housing Credits from Eden no later than one hundred
and eighty (180) days from the Effective Date of this Agreement, subject to Excusable Delay
I
(the "Credit Deadline"). The credits shall be immediately applied to satisfy 17 units of the
Affordable Housing Obligation. If Eden Housing does not have such credits when Developer is
required to satisfy this obligation, then Developer will pay the City One Million Seven Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($1,700,000) within five (5) calendar days of the Credit Deadline. This
payment will satisfy Developer's obligation for 17 units of the Affordable Housing Obligation.
The City will use such funds to acquire affordable housing credits directly from Eden, if they are
created, and apply them retroactively to satisfy 17 units of the Affordable Housing Obligation.
4. Adjustment Based on Total Unit Count. If, for whatever reason, the total number
of dwelling units constructed on the Project Site is less than 372, the number of On-Site Units
and In-Lieu fees shall be proportionately reduced , such that the Aggregate Affordable Housing
Obligation equals 12.5% of the total number of dwelling units in the Project except that the
Aggregate Affordable Housing Obligation shall not be reduced as to In-Lieu Fees already paid or
housing credits already purchased and applied. If, for whatever reason, the total number of
dwelling units constructed on the Project Site is more than 372, the number of On-Site Units and
In-Lieu fees shall be proportionately increased, such that the Aggregate Affordable Housing
Obligation equals 12.5% of the total number of dwelling units in the Project.
5. Affordable Housing Agreement. In order to ensure compliance with Chapter 8.68
of the Dublin Municipal Code,_Developer shall enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement
prior to the issuance of the first Vertical Building Permit for the Project. The City Manager is
authorized to enter into such an agreement that is consistent with the requirements of this exhibit.
2
Exhibit D
PHASING PLAN
The Parties agree that the Project may be developed in phases and that Developer shall have the
right to develop the Project in development phases in such order and time, and with such
characteristics (subject to the Project Approvals) as Developer determines in the exercise of its
selective business judgment, except as specifically provided below:
The City may withhold building permits that would result in the development of more than 190
residential units on the Project Site until such time as Developer has obtained occupancy for
buildings 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800 as illustrated in attached diagram. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that Developer cannot control the timing of the leasing or tenancy of
such retail buildings and Developer's obligations hereunder shall not include the completion of
tenant improvements or furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
