BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
This item was heard by the Zoning Administrator on December 13,
1993. Prior to the public hearing staff met with the developer to
negotiate certain items which would be beneficial to the public
such .as contributions to:
1. Alamo Area Planning. Efforts
2. Affordable Housing Trust Fund
3. Homeless Shelter Trust Fund
4. Existing Drainage Deficiencies in Alamo
The applicant rejected the above listed items. Due to the impasse
reached by . staff the applicant, it was agreed the development
agreement would proceed to public hearing without staff support.
The Zoning Administrator considered the developer's request as
presented the Agreement did not provide any benefit to the public
for the additional entitlement the developer was requesting.
The Zoning Administrator determined ' a $1,000.00 per unit
contribution to one of the previously identified funds, as
determined by the Board of Supervisors, would be a reasonable
request to include in the agreement.

D. Developer intends to develop the Project Site as a
residential planned unit development of ten (10) units.

rights provided by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, any County Law shall be deemed to conflict with
Applicable Law (including this Agreement) or reduce the development
rights provided hereby if it would accomplish any of the following

a general enactment which applies to or affects the Project:
a. limit or reduce the density of the Project or
otherwise require any reduction in the square footage or 'number of
proposed buildings or other improvements;
b. change the zoning or permitted use of the
Project Site;
C. limit or control the availability of public

d. limit- or control the rate, timing, phasing or
sequencing of the approval, development or construction of all or
any part of the Project;
e. apply to the Project any County Law otherwise

Applicable Law;
g. establish, enact, increase, or impose against

the Project, at any time during the Term, then-current Uniform
Building Code and other uniform construction codes, and County's
then-current design and construction standards for road and storm
drainage facilities, provided that any such uniform code or
standard shall apply to the Project only to the extent that such
code or standard has been adopted by County and is in effect on- a
County-wide basis.
(4) Moratoria and Restrictions and Limitations on the
Rate or Timing of Development. In the -event a County Law is
enacted (whether by action of the Board or otherwise, or by
initiative, referendum, issuance of a Subsequent Approval or other
means) . which relates to the growth rate, timing, phasing or
sequencing of new development or construction in County or, more
particularly, development and construction of all or any part of
the Project, such County Law shall not apply to the Project or any
portion thereof. County Laws made inoperative by this provision
include, but are not limited to, those that were not in force and
effect on the Effective Date and that tie development or
construction to the availability of public services and/or
facilities (for example, the presence of a :.specified traffic level

(7) Life of Subdivision Maps, Development Approvals, and
Permits. The term of any Project Approvals, including the final
development plan and the vesting tentative subdivision map or any
other Subsequent Approval, including the subdivision improvement
plan, grading plan, and landscape plan, shall automatically be
extended as provided under California Government Code Section
66452. 6(a) or California Government Code 'Section 65863.9 to the
term of this Agreement.
Section 4.04. State and Federal Law. As provided in
Government Code Section 65869.5, this Agreement shall not preclude
the application to the Project of changes in laws, regulations,
plans or policies, to the extent that such changes are specifically
mandated and required by changes in state or federal laws or
regulations (ffChanges in the Law") . In the event Changes in the
Law prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of

or suspended, or performance thereof delayed, as may be necessary

Code, there is no requirement that -Developer initiate or complete
development of the -Project .within •any particular period of time.
-14-
The parties agree that Developer shall be able to develop in
accordance with Developer's own time schedule and/or market
conditions as such schedule and/or market conditions may exist from
time to time, and Developer shall determine which units of the
Project Site to develop first. In particular, it is the .parties,
desire to avoid the result in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of
Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984) , specifically that the failure of
the parties to consider and expressly provide for the timing of
development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the
timing of development to prevail over such parties' agreement.
Therefore, the parties acknowledge that Developer shall have the
right to develop the Project in such order and at such rate and at
such times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of
its subjective business judgment.
ARTICLE S. AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT

and general welfare. Accordingly, County shall not use its
discretionary . authority in considering any application for a
-15-
Subsequent Approval to reconsider the policy decisions reflected
by the Project Approvals or otherwise to prevent or delay
development of the Project. Instead, the Subsequent Approvals-
shall be deemed to be tools to implement those final policy
decisions and shall be issued by County so long as they comply with
Applicable Law and are not inconsistent with the Project Approvals
as set forth below.
(2) Upon submission by Developer of all appropriate
applications and processing fees for any Subsequent Approval,
County shall commence and complete (and shall use its best efforts
to promptly and diligently commence and complete) all steps
necessary to act on the Subsequent Approval application including,

Approval may be denied by County if such application does not
comply with Applicable Law, is inconsistent with the Project
Approvals or County is unable to make all findings required by
state law in connection with such Subsequent Approval. County may
approve an application for such a Subsequent Approval subject to
any conditions necessary to bring the Subsequent Approval into
compliance with Applicable Law, make the Subsequent Approval
consistent with the Project Approvals or allow County to make the.
findings required by state law. If County denies any application
for a Subsequent Approval, County must spegfy modifications which
are required to obtain approval of such application. Any such
-16-
specified modifications must be consistent with this Agreement and
Applicable Law, and County shall approve the application if
subsequently resubmitted for County review if it complies with the
specified modifications.
(4) Developer shall, in a timely manner, provide County
with all documents, applications, plans, and other information
necessary for County to carry out these obligations and .cause

good faith to enter into binding agreements with any such entity
necessary to assure the availability of such permits and approvals
or services, provided such agreements are reasonable and. not
detrimental to the County.
Section 6.03. Eminent Domain Powers. County shall cooperate
with the Developer in -implementing the Project Approvals; provided,
however, any use by the County of its eminent domain powers to
facilitate the implementation of any conditions, shall be as a
result of its independent exercise of judgment following all
-17-
applicable procedures and making -the requisite findings properly
supported by evidence that the use of such eminent domain power is
necessary and proper, and further, provided that the County and
Developer have entered into a mutually acceptable condemnation
agreement.

In the event of any legal or equitable action or , other
proceeding instituted by any third party, (including a governmental
entity or official) challenging the validity of any provision of
the Project Approvals or Subsequent Approvals the parties hereby
agree to cooperate in defending such action or proceeding. Each
party may select its own legal -counsel at 'its ' own expense. In no

or mandated by other governmental entities (including new or
supplemental environmental regulations) , enactment of conflicting
state or federal laws or regulations or similar basis for excused
