I. INTRODUCTION
UNIMIN CORP. (Applicant & Owner), County File #3007-RZ: The applicant seeks to
rezone a 13 acre parcel of land from Heavy Industrial (HI) to Agricultural (A-3). As a
condition of approval of LUP#2078-91 (Byron Sand Mining Permit),UNIMIN Corp. was
required to make this application for the zoning change of Parcel #003-050-003 from
HI to A-3. The zoning change would conform to the County General Plan. Subject site
is located within the mining operations area of Permit#2078-91 in Byron along Camino
Diablo Road. (HI) (ZA: T-25m) (GP: AL) (CT 3040) (Parcel #030-050-003).
[I. RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends approval of the application for the zoning change of the subject
property from HI to A-3.
Ill. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. General Plan: The General Plan land use designation is Agricultural (A-3).
B. Zoning: The existing zoning of the subject property is Heavy Industrial (HI).
C. CEQA Status: This project is an off-shoot of another project, e.g., #2078-91
(UNIMIN Sand Mining Project), for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
was prepared and certified in June, 1992. This project was initiated to
implement the recommendation of the EIR to bring the existing zoning of the
subject property in conformity with the General Plan land use designation
involving down-zoning from Heavy Industrial to Agricultural.
Under the circumstance, initial study has not been made to avoid repetition.
However, Notice of Determination (NOD) will be posted at the termination of
the project, in accordance with the CEOA regulations.
IV. SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject property is a 13.0 acre parcel, almost flat in topography, zoned as Heavy
Industrial, and surrounded by land on all sides zoned as Agricultural. The property is
located south of Camino Diablo Road in the Byron area and is part of the UNIMIN
property for which surface mining permit#2078-91 was issued in March, 1993. The
2
property, even though zoned as Heavy Industrial, has not been used for industrial
purposes for a long time. Presently, the site is a part of the surrounding flat land under
the surface mining operations permitted under Permit #2078-91 .
The site location is indicated on the attached map.
V. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project does not involve any construction or building activity or any physical
changes in topography. It only proposes a zoning change of the subject property from
Heavy Industrial to Agricultural.
VI. STAFF FINDINGS
The proposed project is consistent with the recommendation of the EIR prepared for
Surface Mining Permit #2078-91 to bring the existing zoning in conformance with the
land use designation under the County General Plan.
The staff recommends approval of the project effecting the requested zoning change
from Heavy Industrial to Agricultural.

BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Supervisors on December 22, 1992, certified the Final
Environmental Impact Report ("FEIR") , which is a tiered FEIR and
addressed policy-level planning decisions, including a general plan
amendment, specific plan, rezonings, preliminary development plans
and development agreements. The Board further approved the General
Plan Amendmeht and Specific Plan. Concurrently, the Board closed
the public hearing and continued the rezonings, preliminary
development plans and development agreements. Subsequently,
lawsuits were filed challenging the validity of the Environmental
Impact Report and planning approvals. These items have been
continued numerous times to allow settlement discussions to
proceed.
The rezoning's and preliminary development plans applications as
presented, are unchanged from the Planning Commissions recommenda-
tion of December 1, 1992 and December 2, 1992. However staff is
recommending, Condition of Approval ,#4 be added to ensure that all
land, under 'the control of the developer, necessary for master
improvements, (e.g. major arterial and arterial road, community
park ,creek improvements, etc.. .) be dedicated prior to filing the
first final map for any phase. Staff has modified the conditions
of approval to reflect this recommendation.
The development agreements are presented with minor modifications
to reflect (:-1) finalization of the traffic improvement list; (2)
Dougherty Vaflley Affordable Housing Program; and (3) additional
language to ensure compliance with general.plan growth management
standards continuing beyond the current general plan horizon.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR 2993-RZ (SHAPELL)
1. The Preliminary Development Plan(PDP) application is approved for construction of up
to 5,830 residential units and related facilities as detailed in the Dougherty Valley
Specific Plan. No further discretionary development entitlement shall be accepted as

A. Submit for review and approval of County Planning Commission an infrastruc-
ture and services matrix for the Dougherty Valley that is consistent with the
Dougherty Valley Specific Plan. This matrix shall describe the phasing and

for the Coyote Creek area, applicant may meet this matrix submittal'bmittal require-
ment by providing the matrix for the Coyote Creek area,-'a'long with a
conceptual infrastructure and services matrix for the remainder of the
Dougherty Valley. This conceptual infrastructure and services matrix must
ensure that infrastructure and services are provided in the Coyote Creek area
in a manner that will ensure:, (1) consistency with the Dougheirty Valley
Specific'Plan, (2)coordination of Coyote Creek infrastructure with infrastructure
for the remainder of the Dougherty Valley, and (3) preservation of reasonable
options'for providing infrastructure construction and operations and mainte-
nance for the remainder of the Dough'erty Valley. At the applicant's expense,

1, 40:0 acres of .open space and parks, approximately 22 acres
of non-residential uses, and approximately 98 acres of
public/semi-public uses.
F'. The project provides adequate commercial
facilities to support the residential development . Such
facilities will not create an impact on roadway systems
because of the implementation of mitigation measures as
described in the Final Environmental Impact Report and the
Addendum. The design of commercial facilities will be
reviewed under Final Development Plan applications for said
area's to ensure that traffic congestion will be obviated by
presently projected improvements; and by demonstrable
provisions in the Preliminary Development Plan for proper
entrances and exits; and by internal provision for traffic
and parking. Also, such review will ensure that the
proposed commercial facilities will be an attractive and
efficient center and fit harmoniously into and will have no
adverse effects upon the adjacent or surrounding
developments.
G. Overall, the project represents a harmonious,
integrated plan whose long-term buildout justifies
exceptions from the normal applications of the County Code
to allow for flexibility and the ability to respond to
changing planning needs over time.
Being satisfied of the foregoing matters, this
Board on this date has by Ordinance No. amended the
Zoning Map to rezone the project site from Agricultural
District (A-80) to Planned Unit District (P-1) .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this Board
hereby adopts the Preliminary Development Plan, subject to
the ':conditions attached hereto as Exhibit

ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE
DOUGHERTY VALLEY GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT,
SPECIFIC PLAN AND IMPLEMENTING ENTITLEMENTS
(COUNTY FILE NO. 2-91-SR; STATE CLEARINGHOUSE
NUMBER 91053014)
r
I. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
A. Background.
On December 22, 1992, the Board of Supervisors ("Board") of Contra Costa County
("County") approved the Dougherty Valley General Plan Amendment("General Plan Amendment")
and the Dougherty Valley Specific Plan ("Specific Plan"). The Specific Plan and General Plan are
collectively referenced as the"Dougherty Valley Plan."
The subject of the Dougherty Valley Plan is 5,979 acres of unimproved land in the
unincorporated area of Contra Costa County, located generally adjacent to the City of San Ramon
("Planning Area"). Shapell Industries, Inc. ("Shapell") owns approximately 2,708 acres of the
Dougherty' Valley Planning Area, a property formerly known as Gale Ranch ("Gale Ranch Site").
Windemere Ranch Partners ("Windemere") owns approximately 2,379 acres ("Windemere Site").
The remaining 892 acres is owned by the United States Army and used as a reserve forces training
area("Camp Parks").
Prior to the Board's approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan, the Gale Ranch Site and the
Windemere Site were designated by the County's General Plan for agricultural uses and were also
zoned for.;such uses. The General Plan Amendment redesignated the Dougherty Valley Planning
Area to plan for urban uses. The Specific Plan provides guidance regarding the development of the
Dougherty Valley Planning Area consistent with the County's General Plan as amended by the
General Plan Amendment.
The proposal to develop the Dougherty Valley pursuant to the Dougherty Valley Plan was
the subject of an environmental impact report ("EIR") prepared and certified pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code §21000 et seq. ("CEQA"). When the
EIR was prepared, the County was considering several proposed planning actions relating to the
Planning -Area, i.e., the General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, rezonings, preliminary
development plans and development agreements ("Planning Actions"). Accordingly, the EIR was
prepared with sufficient specificity to address the various proposed Planning Actions to the extent
reasonably feasible, but stated that further environmental review, based on the EIR, would be
required for the subsequent detailed land use approvals necessary for the development of the
Planning Area, such as final development plans, tentative subdivision maps and other discretionary
actions("Entitlements'). Final EIR,Volume 1,page A-2.
As required by CEQA, the Board adopted extensive findings in connection with the
Dougherty Valley Plan regarding its potentially significant impacts, potential mitigation measures
and alternatives and overriding considerations that justified approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan
notwithstanding its unmitigable impacts ("Findings"). The Findings reflected the statements in the
EIR regarding the need for further environmental review of the Entitlements and also suggested that
further review might be required of the Planning.Actions that were not adopted by the Board when
the Dougherty Valley Plan was approved. This Addendum describes the further environmental
review performed by the County of those remaining Planning Actions.

CA940610.116/72272-004
B. Decisions Now Before the County.
As discussed in,Section I.A of this memorandum, Shapell and Windemere had applied for
rezonings,preliminary development plans and development agreements for both the Gale Ranch Site
and the Windemere Site prior to the approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan. These additional
Planning Actions are now before the Board. These actions would not authorize any construction
activities in the.Planning Area nor would they authorize the approval of any Entitlements until after
appropriate environmental review is complete and all of the requirements applicable to the
Dougherty Valley Plan(such as compliance with the County's growth control measures)are met.
In considering the rezonings, preliminary development plans and development agreements,
the County is required-by CEQA and the terms of its approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan to
consider whether a supplemental or subsequent ETR is required. As discussed in Section I.A of this
Addendum,the EIR was prepared to be sufficiently specific to serve as the environmental document
for all of the Planning Actions. The rezonings, preliminary development plans and development
agreements are within the scope of the EIR because they do not contain any new provisions for
development that were not set forth in the Dougherty Valley Plan nor do they alter in any way the
proposed land uses described in the Dougherty Valley Plan. CEQA does require the preparation of a
subsequent or supplemental EIR if one of the following criteria has been met:
1. Changes are made to the project that require important revisions of the EIR because of
the involvement of new significant environmental impacts that were not considered in the EIR.
2. Substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the
project will be undertaken, which will require important revisions in the EIR due to the involvement
of new significant impacts that were not covered in the EIR;or
3. New information of substantial importance to the project has become available and
(a) The information was not known and could not have been known at the time the
EIR was certified as complete; and
(b) The new information shows any of the following:
(1) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed
previously in the EIR;
(2) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more
severe than shown in the EIR;
(3) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be.feasible

CA940610.116/72272-004
The County has considered whether any of the foregoing criteria have been met since the
Dougherty Valley Plan was approved on December 22, 1992 and concluded that under those criteria,
a supplemental or subsequent EIR is not required. The purpose of this Addendum is to set forth the
basis for this conclusion.
II. IMPACTS OF THE PLANNING ACTIONS
The first criterion for preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR has not been met
because the rezonings,preliminary development plans and development agreements are based solely
on the Dougherty Valley Plan. The only change would be that under the development agreements,
pursuant to Government Code Sections 65864 et seq., the Entitlements would be governed by
existing policies,rules and regulations, including all of the requirements applicable to the Dougherty
Valley Plan. However, from the environmental perspective, this change is legal rather than
substantive, because (i) the development agreements would not alter the County's obligation to
conduct further environmental review of the Entitlements or to deny any Entitlements that do not
conform to the County General Plan, including the General Plan's growth management standards;
and (ii) the development agreements would not allow any development not contemplated by the
Dougherty. Valley Plan. Accordingly, the County's review focused on whether either of the other
two criteria are present, i.e., whether there has been a change in circumstances or whether there is
previously unavailable and important new information within the meaning of CEQA.
This section sets forth the County's conclusions with respect to each type of impact
identified by the EIR. The EIR's conclusions and recommendations regarding these impacts. are
summarized in Exhibit A to this Addendum.
A. Land Use.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe land use impacts will occur than predicted in the
EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce the impacts.
Physical conditions surrounding the development of the Planning Area were found by the County to
be the same as when the Dougherty-Valley Plan was approved. Various other development
proposals in the region are in process; however, these proposals are within the scope of the
cumulative build-out analysis of the EIR and no new significant cumulative impacts associated with
the Dougherty Valley Plan are predicted because of any new proposals.
B. Public Services and Utilities.
1. Wastewater Services.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe impacts relating to wastewater services will occur
than predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce
the impacts.
3
CA940610.116/72272-004
2. Potable Water.
There has been�no change in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
that indicate that impacts relating to potable water will be more severe than predicted in the EIR or
that there are further mitigation measures or alternatives that should be considered to mitigate the
impacts.
The EIR found that the impacts relating to off-site water facilities were too speculative to be
assessed because of inadequate information regarding such facilities. This information is still
unavailable. Further environmental review would be required before the off-site facilities could be
approved.
3. Recycled Water.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
that indicate that there'will be new or substantially more severe significant impacts relating to
recycled water thanpredicted in the EIR or that new mitigation measures or alternatives would
substantially reduce the impacts.
4. Drainage.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe and significant impacts relating to drainage will
occur than predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially
reduce the impact.
5. Solid Waste.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or 'substantially more severe impacts relating to solid waste will occur than
predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce the
impacts.
5. Law Enforcement.
There have no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more significant impacts on law enforcement services will occur
than predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce
the impacts.
7. Fire Protection Services.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe impacts relating to fire protection services will
occur than predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially
reduce these impacts.
4
CA940610.116/72272-004
8. Educational Facilities.
There has been no change in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe impacts on educational facilities will occur than
predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce the
predicted•impacts.
9. Childcare Facilities.
There has been no change in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe impacts relating to childcare facilities will occur
than predicted'in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce
the impact.
10. Parks and Recreational Impacts.
There has been no change in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe impacts on parks and recreational facilities will
occur than predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially
reduce the impact.
11. Library Facilities.
There has been no change in circumstances or new information since December 22; 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe impacts on library facilities will occur than
predicted'.in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce the
impact.

There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992
indicating that new or substantially more severe significant.impacts relating to traffic and circulation
will occur than predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would
substantially reduce the impact. None of the factual data upon which the EIR's traffic study was
based has changed.
The cumulative impacts identified in the EIR presume full buildout of all city and county
general plans and full realization of all general plan amendments in the Tri-Valley subregion that
were pending at the time that the Dougherty Valley Plan was approved. As discussed in
Section II.M.4 of this Addendum, the potential for cumulative development in the subregion has
changed somewhat since the certification of the EIR, but these changes do not substantially affect
the EIR's analysis.
D. Air Quality.
There has been no change in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe significant impacts on air quality will occur than
5
CA940610.1 1 sn2272-004
predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce
these impacts.

than predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce
the Dougherty Valley Project's impacts on cultural resources.
I Electromagnetic Fields.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe significant impacts will occur relating to
electromagnetic fields than predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives

6
CA940610.116/72272-004
Visual Quality.
Tliere have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new or substantially more severe impacts on visual quality will occur than predicted
in the EIRor that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce the impacts.
L.` Energy Conservation.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating;that new or substantially more severe significant impacts relating to energy conservation
will occur: than predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would
substantially reduce the impacts.
M.. Miscellaneous Impacts.
1. Short-Term Uses Versus Long-Term Productivity.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating'-that new or substantially more severe significant impacts relating to short-term versus
long term'productivity will occur than predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or
alternatives would substantially reduce the above impacts.
2. Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating that new significant irreversible environmental changes will occur than predicted in the
EIR '
3. Growth-Inducing Impacts of the Dougherty Valley
Project.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating:that new or substantially more severe significant growth-inducing impacts will occur than
predicted in the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce the
impacts.
4. Significant Cumulative Impacts.
There have been no changes in circumstances or new information since December 22, 1992,
indicating'.that new or substantially more severe significant cumulative impacts will occur than
predicted fn the EIR or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce the
impacts.
The cumulative impact analysis of the EIR assumed a level of development based on
projected growth in the subregion. Since certification of the EIR, there have been some changes to
these projections, based on revisions to general plan amendment applications, denials of proposed
projects and revised forecasts of expected growth. These changes do not require revisions to the EIR
7
CA940610.116/72272-004
because the amount and general distribution of growth and resulting impacts are expected to be
substantially the same as predicted in the EIR.
III. CONCLUSION
The circumstances that would justify the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR
are not present because 'since December 22, 1992, there have been no changes, changes in
circumstances or previously unavailable new information that indicate that the Planning Actions will
have new or substantially more severe significant impacts than predicted in the EIR or that new
mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially lessen the significant impacts of the Planning
Actions.

CA940610.116/72272-004
EXHIBIT A
IMPACTS, MITIGATION MEASURES AND
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED IN THE EIR
A.- Land Use.
The EIR identified five project-specific potentially significant impacts relating to
land use and one potentially significant cumulative impact. These impacts are listed below:
1. Conversion of substantial portions of the County's stook of convertible
land to urban use;
2. Conversion of approximately 6,000 acres of nonprime but important
agricultural land to urban and open space uses(project specific and cumulative);
3. Potential internal land use incompatibility of residential land uses with
Camp Parks;
4. Potential incompatibility with adjacent land uses; and
5. Potential internal incompatibility of residential land uses with existing
electric transmission lines.
As recommended in the EIR,the County adopted mitigation measures in
connection with the approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan to address these impacts. Impact
Nos. 1,2,and 4 were found to be significant and unavoidable. The remaining impacts were
found to be mitigated to a less than significant level by the mitigation measures adopted by the
County.
B. Public Services and Utilities.
1. Wastewater Services.
The EIR identified a potentially significant impact relating to the Dougherty
Valley Plan's need for collection and treatment of 2.5 to 3.1 million gallons per day of
wastewater. As recommended by the EIR,the County adopted mitigation measures in
connection with the approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan to reduce this impact to a less than
significant level, including annexation to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District or another
service provider. However,the EIR indicated that the impacts of off-site wastewater facilities for
the.Dougherty Valley Plan were too speculative to be assessed because of inadequate information
regarding their design.
CA940610.115172272-004 03/08/94 06:55 PM
2. Potable Water.
The EIR identified significant impacts relating to the need for distribution and
treatment of approximately 4.7 to 5.4 million gallons per day of potable water. As recommended
in the EIR,the County adopted mitigation measures in connection with the approval of the
Dougherty Valley Plan,to reduce the impacts. However,these impacts were found to be
significant and unavoidable.
3. Recycled Water.
The mitigation measures adopted for the Dougherty Valley potable water service
impacts include the use,-of recycled water where feasible. Implementation ofthis mitigation
measure would require approximately 1,100 gallons per minute of recycled water and a recycled
water distribution system. The EIR identified a significant impact relating to the need for
recycled water facilities. As recommended in the EIR,the County adopted mitigation measures
for impacts relating to recycled water to reduce those-impacts to a less than significant level.
4. Drainage.
The EIR identified as potentially significant impacts the need for drainage
infrastructure to serve the Planning Area. As recommended in the EIR,the County adopted
mitigation measures to reduce this impact to a less than significant level.
5. Solid Waste.
The EIR identified potentially significant impacts relating to the generation of
approximately 25,000 tons of solid waste per year by the development of the Planning Area. As
recommended in the EIR,the County adopted mitigation measures in connection with the
approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan to reduce the Plan's solid waste impacts to a less than
significant level.
b. raw Enforcement.
The EIR.identified potentially significant impacts relating to the need for
approximately two California Highway Patrol positions and approximately five sheriff's deputies
with necessary equipment. As recommended in the EIR,the County adopted mitigation
measures in connection+'with the approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan to mitigate these impacts
to a less than significant level.
7. Fire Protection Services.
The EIR identified potentially significant impacts relating to the need for
additional fire stations and equipment and increased fire hazards. As recommended in the EIR,
the County adopted mitigation measures in connection with the approval of the Dougherty
Valley Plan to reduce these impacts to a less than significant level.
2
CA940610.115
8. Educational Facilities.
The EIR identified potentially significant impacts relating to the need for
additional elementary school,middle school,high school and community college capacity. As
recommended in the EIR,the County adopted mitigation measures in connection with the
approval of the Dougherty.Valley Plan to reduce the impact on elementary,middle and high
schools to a less than significant level. Mitigation of the need for community college facilities
was found-to be infeasible,requiring future efforts of the Contra Costa Community College
District in conjunction with the County and the Cities of San Ramon and Danville.
9. Childcare Facilities.
The EIR identified potentially significant impacts relating to the need for
childcare facilities. As recommended in the EIR,the County adopted mitigation measures in
connection with the approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan to reduce the impacts to a less than
significant,level.
10. Parks and Recreational Impacts.
The EIR identified potentially significant impacts relating to the need for
managed open space,regional trail easements and neighborhood and community parks. As
recommended in the EIR,the County adopted mitigation measures in connection with the
approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan to mitigate these impacts to a less than significant level.
11. Library Facilities.
The EIR identified a substantially significant impact relating to the need for
11,600 square feet of library facilities. As recommended in the EIR,the County adopted
mitigation',measures in connection with the approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan to reduce this
impact to a less than significant level.

conditions;at several intersections and further degradation of already unacceptable levels of
services at several other intersections (project specific and cumulative impact).
As recommended in the EIR,the County adopted mitigation measures in
connection with the approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan to address the potentially significant -
project and cumulative impacts listed above. These mitigation measures were predicted to
3
CA940610.115
improve traffic conditibns to an acceptable level at many of the roadway segments and
intersections. Howevei,the conditions at other intersections and interstate segments were
determined to be significant and unavoidable.
D. Air Qu"
!"ity.
The EIR identified potentially significant air quality impacts relating to violations
of standards for particulate matter,carbon monoxide and ozone precursors. These impacts are
both project specific and cumulative.
As recommended by the EIR,the County adopted mitigation measures for the
above impacts in connection with the approval of the Dougherty Valley Plazi. However,the
impacts were identified as significant and unavoidable notwithstanding the imposition of these
mitigation measures.

Old Ranch Road to increased and excessive noise levels;
4. Exposure of new residents to noise from recreational and cultural
facilities;and
5. Exposure of existing and planned noise sensitive locations to noise levels
in excess of County noise standards(cumulative impact).
As recommended by the EIR,the County imposed mitigation measures in
connection with the approval of the Dougherty Valley Plan to address the noise impacts. These
mitigation measures are expected to reduce to a less than significant level all of the Dougherty
Valley Plans direct noise' impacts(i.e. Impact Nos. 1-4). However,the identified cumulative
noise impact(No. 5)was expected to remain significant and unavoidable.
F. Soils and Geology.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
AND
WINDEMERE RANCH PARTNERS
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into
as of March_, 1994, by and between WINDEMERE RANCH PARTNERS, a
California general,partnership ("Developer" or "Windemere"), and the COUNTY OF
CONTRA COSTA, a political subdivision of the State of California ("County"),
pursuant to California Government Code § 65864 et Mg. This Agreement supersedes
and replaces in its.entirety that certain development agreement entered into by and
between Developer and County, dated October 2, 1990, which is hereby terminated.
RECITALS
A. F To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private
participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development,
the Legislature of State of California enacted California Government Code § 65864
et seg. (the "Development Agreement Statute"), which authorizes County to enter into
an agreement with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property
regarding the development of such property.
B. Pursuant to California Government Code § 65865, County has
adopted procedures and requirements for the consideration of development agreements
(County Resolution No. 85/412 and Ordinance No. 92-73). This Development
Agreement has been processed, considered and executed in accordance with such
procedures and requirements.
C. Developer has a legal interest in certain real property consisting of
approximately 2379 acres located in the unincorporated portion of the County, as more
particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Windemere Site"). The
Windemere Site may be expanded pursuant to a land exchange with the United States
Department of the Army, in which case the Windemere Site may include up to
approximately 2439 acres of land.
D. Developer intends to develop the Windemere Site as a residential
planned community of 5,170 dwelling units, together with certain retail, office,
community services and other uses (defined more fully in Article 2 below as
"Windemere Ranch").
. 1
E. County has taken several actions to review and plan for the future
development of Windemere Ranch. These include, without limitation, the following:
(1) EIR. On December 22, 1992 (the "First Approval Date"),
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the "CEQA Guidelines" and
County's local guidelines promulgated thereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to
as "CEQA") and in accordance with the recommendation of County's Zoning
Administrator, the Board, by Resolution No. 92/864, certified an environmental impact
report regarding Windemere Ranch (the "EIR").
(2) Urban Limit Line Modification. On the First Approval
Date, following review by the San Ramon Valley Regional Planning Commission and
the County Planning Commission, and recommendation by the County Planning
Commission, and after duly noticed public hearing and certification of the EIR, the
Board, by Resolution 92/865 (which was approved by a 4/5 vote), approved a minor
modification to County's Urban Limit Line to locate certain lands (belonging to the
United States Department of the Army and located in the Dougherty Valley) inside the
Urban Limit Line (the "Urban Limit Line Modification").
(3) General Plan Amendment. On the First Approval Date,
following review by the San Ramon Valley Regional Planning Commission and the
County Planning Commission, and recommendation by the County Planning
Commission, and after duly noticed public hearing, certification of the EIR and
adoption of the Urban Limit Line Modification, the Board, by Resolution 92/866,
approved an amendment to the County General Plan (which, together with the Urban
Limit Line Modification, is referred to below collectively as the "General Plan
Amendment") addressing the Windemere Site and certain real property adjacent to the
Windemere Site including (i) approximately 2,708 acres owned by Shapell
Industries, Inc. (the "Shapell Site") and (ii) approximately 892 acres owned by the
United States Department of the Army ("Camp Parks").
(4) Specific Plan. On the First Approval Date, following
review by the San Ramon Valley Regional Planning Commission and the County
Planning Commission, and recommendation by the County Planning Commission,
certification of the EIR, adoption of the Urban Limit Line Modification and the
General Plan Amendment, and duly noticed public hearing, the Board, by
Resolution 92/867, approved a single specific plan for the Windemere Site, the Shapell
Site, and Camp Parks (collectively, the "Dougherty Valley"), which specific plan is
entitled the "Dougherty Valley Specific Plan" (the "Specific Plan").
2 i
(5) P-1 Zoning and Preliminary Development Plan. On
March 22, 1994 (the "Second Approval Date"), following the preparation of an
addendum to the EIR in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines (the
"Addendum"), the Board's consideration of the Addendum together with the EIR, and
a duly noticed public hearing, the Board adopted County Ordinance No. , rezoning
the Windemere Site to County's "P-1" zoning district, consistent with the General Plan
and the Specific Plan (the "Zoning") and, pursuant to Resolution 94/_, approved a
Preliminary Development Plan for the Windemere Site consistent with the Zoning (the
"Preliminary Development Plan"). The General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan,
Zoning, Preliminary Development Plan and this Agreement are sometimes collectively
referred to herein as the "Planning Actions." The Rezoning and the Preliminary
Development Plan previously were reviewed by the San Ramon Regional Planning
Commission and the County Planning Commission, and recommended by the County
Planning Commission, during 1992 in connection with their review of the General Plan
Amendment and the Specific Plan.
F. On November 6, 1992, following a duly noticed public hearing,
the County Zoning Administrator made the appropriate findings required by Resolution
No. 85/412, and recommended that the Board approve this Agreement.
G. , On the Second Approval Date, after a duly noticed public hearing
on this Agreement, the Board took the following actions: (1) pursuant to Resolution
No. 94/_, determined that the EIR and the Addendum adequately address this
Agreement and made the findings required by CEQA; (2) pursuant to Resolution No.
94/ , made appropriate findings required by County Resolution No. 85-412 and Cal.
Gov't Code § 65867.5, that the provisions of this Agreement are consistent with the
General Plan and the Specific Plan; and (3) adopted Ordinance No. , approving
and authorizing the execution of this Agreement.
H. The parties acknowledge and agree that applications for specific
land use approvals, entitlements, permits and agreements (collectively, the "Project
Approvals") must be made by Developer and reviewed (in compliance with CEQA) and
approved, issued or entered into by County prior to development of the Windemere
Site. The Project Approvals may include, without limitation, the following: design
review approvals, improvement agreements and similar agreements relating to
Windemere Ranch, use permits, grading permits, building permits, lot line
adjustments, sewer and water connection permits, certificates of occupancy, subdivision
maps (including tentative, vesting tentative, parcel, vesting parcel, and final
subdivision maps), final development plans, rezonings, development agreements,
landscaping plans, encroachment permits, resubdivision, and amendments to the
Planning Actions.or the Project Approvals.

ARTICLE 3. 'OBLIGATIONS OF DEVELOPER AND COUNTY
Section 3.01. Obligations of Developer.
(1) Generally. The parties acknowledge and agree that
County's agreement to perform and abide by the covenants and obligations of County
set forth herein ii-material consideration for Developer's agreement to perform and
abide by the covenants and obligations of Developer set forth herein.
(2) Preliminary Development Plan. Developer shall comply
with all conditions of approval to the Preliminary Development Plan.
(3) Affordable Housing. Developer shall, in connection with
its development of Windemere Ranch, implement the terms and provisions of the
Affordable Housing Program adopted by the Board of Supervisors on the Second
Approval Date pursuant to Resolution 94/_ (the "Affordable Housing Program").
The terms and provisions of the Affordable Housing Program are consistent with
Policy H-4 of the Specific Plan, which requires that a minimum of twenty-five percent
(25%) of all dwelling units be developed as affordable to low, very low and moderate
income households as defined by the County. The Affordable Housing Program may
be amended only upon the mutual written consent of Developer and County.
(4) Coordination of On-Site Infrastructure Improvements.
a. The Specific Plan calls for the construction of
certain on-site infrastructure improvements to serve both the Shapell Site and the
Windemere Site. In particular, the Specific Plan calls for (i) a road network internal to
the Dougherty Valley, (ii) systems for sewer, potable water and reclaimed water,
(iii) stormwater-related hydrologic infrastructure (e.g., storm drain retention and
detention basins);. (iv) creek improvements, and (v) a community park (collectively, the
"Master Improvements"). While such Master Improvements, together with other on-
site infrastructure improvements called for by the Specific Plan (which are not covered
by this Section 3.01(4)), will serve both Windemere Ranch and the project to be
developed on the:Shapell Site (commonly known as "Gale Ranch"), the Specific Plan
generally does not allocate between Shapell and Windemere their respective
responsibilities with respect to the cost or construction of Master Improvements.
b. Subject to subsection (f) below, Windemere shall
construct, at its cost (or, at Windemere's option, through an assessment district or
similar mechanism covering only the Windemere Site) and without reimbursement from
Shapell, any Master Improvements needed to serve Windemere Ranch as it is
8
developed on a plisse-by-phase basis. Such Master Improvements shall be constructed
as and when needed to serve Windemere Ranch and, where relevant, satisfy the
requirements of the Growth Management Element of the General Plan.
C. Subject to subsection (f) below, County shall require
Shapell to construct at Shapell's cost (or, at Shapell's option, through an assessment
district or similar,mechanism covering only the Shapell Site) and without
reimbursement from Windemere, any Master Improvements needed to serve Gale
Ranch as it is developed on a phase-by-phase basis. Such Master Improvements shall
be constructed as;and when needed to serve Gale Ranch and, where relevant, satisfy the
requirements of the Growth Management Element of the General Plan.
d. Any Master Improvements constructed pursuant to
the foregoing subsections by Shapell or Windemere, respectively (Shapell and
Windemere are referred to in this Section 3.01(4) each individually as a "Developer"
and collectively is the "Developers"), shall be designed to allow the use of such Master
Improvements by'the project being developed by the other Developer, unless such
design is prevented by an entity with authority to determine the design of the Master
Improvement (e.g., a water provider). In those instances where a Master Improvement
is designed to allow its use by the project being developed by the other Developer, the
Developer constructing such Master Improvement shall not be entitled to
reimbursement from the other Developer for any portion of the cost of such
construction (whether through a benefit district or otherwise), even though some
portion of such cost is attributable to needs created by the other Developer's project
and even though the constructing Developer may be required to construct some portion
of such Master Improvements on or across the other Developer's property. Where a
Developer designing a Master Improvement receives notice that an entity with authority
to approve the design of that Master Improvement may prevent such Master
Improvement from being designed in a manner to allow the use of such Master
Improvement by the project being-developed by the other Developer, than (i) the
Developer designing such Master Improvement shall give prompt written notice to
County and the other Developer of such fact and (ii) both Developers and County shall
cooperate and exercise reasonable efforts to prevent such entity from so limiting the
design of such Master Improvement. However, the Developer designing the Master
Improvement is not required by this subsection to act in any manner that would
unreasonably delay development of any portion of that Developer's project.
9
e. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any particular
Master Improvement can be constructed in phases, then any Developer required to
construct such Master Improvement pursuant to this section shall be required to
construct only those phases of such Master Improvement necessary for the phase of
such Developer's project that generates the need for such Master Improvement (e.g., a
four-land roadway might be constructed in two two-lane phases). Subsequent phases of
such Master Improvement shall be constructed by such Developer, or the other
Developer, as and when needed for its project pursuant to subsection (f) below.
f. County's determination of which Developer shall
construct which Master Improvements shall be based on when such Master
Improvements are needed for each Developer's project. If Windemere Ranch requires
the installation of a certain Master Improvement before Gale Ranch requires such
Master Improvement, then Windemere shall install such Master Improvement. If Gale
Ranch requires the installation of a certain Master Improvement before Windemere
Ranch requires such Master Improvement, then County shall require Shapell to install
such Master Improvement.
g. Each Developer shall make an offer of dedication to
County of any land necessary or appropriate for the installation, use and maintenance
of any Master Improvement to be installed by the other Developer. Such offer of
dedication shall occur at the earlier of(i) the expiration of thirty (30) days following
the execution of a contract or other agreement to install the Master Improvement for
which the dedication is required, or(ii) the filing of any final subdivision map covering
that portion of the Windemere Site or the Shapell Site, as appropriate, covering the
land to be so dedicated. County shall not, however, accept such offer of dedication
until execution of a contract or other agreement to install the Master Improvement for
which the dedication is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the time the first
final subdivision map is filed for recording pursuant to Government Code Section
66464 gt M. by either Shapell or Windemere in connection with either Gale Ranch or
Windemere Ranch, each Developer shall dedicate to County, either by such final map
or by separate instrument, as appropriate, any and all land comprising that portion of
its property that is necessary or appropriate for the installation, use and maintenance of
the full widths of(i) all of Bollinger Canyon Road as shown on Figure 8 of the Specific
Plan, (ii) that portion of Dougherty Road, as shown on Figure 8 of the Specific Plan,
that is located to the north of the northerly intersection of Dougherty Road and
Bollinger Canyon Road, (iii) that portion of Dougherty Road, as shown on Figure 8 of
the Specific Plan, that is located to the south of the southerly intersection of Dougherty
10
Road and Bollinger Canyon Road and (iv) for access purposes only, that portion of
existing Dougherty Road that is located between its two proposed intersections with
Bollinger Canyon Road, which Dougherty Road access may be moved to the location
shown on Figure,8 of the Specific Plan. To the extent that the final location of any of
the road dedications described in the preceding sentence have not been fixed at the time
dedication is required, the location of such dedications shall be subject to adjustment at
the time the appropriate final map is filed.
h. Shapell is an intended thirty-party beneficiary of this
subsection; provided, however, that this subsection shall not become effective unless
and until provisions strictly analogous to this subsection are included in a development
agreement between Shapell and County and such provisions become effective. County
shall require such provisions to be included in any such development agreement.
(5) Traffic Impact Mitigation.
a. Certain traffic improvements are required to
accommodate or otherwise mitigate the traffic-related environmental impacts of
development under the Specific Plan (the "Traffic Improvements"). The Traffic
Improvements include (i) the on-site traffic improvements described in the Specific
Plan(the "On-Site Traffic Improvements") and (ii) the off-site traffic improvements
described on Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Off-
Site Traffic Improvements").
b. Subject to and in accordance with Section 3.01(4)
above ("Coordination of On-Site Improvements"), Developer and Shapell shall be
responsible for the construction of the On-Site Traffic Improvements.
C. Developer shall pay to County a per-unit traffic
impact fee in the'amount necessary (but no more than the amount necessary) to fund
Developer's fair share of the cost of construction of the Off-Site Traffic Improvements
(the "Traffic Impact Fee"). The amount of the Traffic Impact Fee shall be determined
as set forth in subsection (d) below, and shall apply to residential units developed in the
Dougherty Valley. The Traffic Impact Fee applicable to a residential unit shall be paid
when the building permit for such unit is issued or, if it is the standard practice of
County at the time, when the applicable final subdivision map is filed for recordation.
d. The amount of the Traffic Impact Fee shall be
determined, within six weeks following the Effective Date, in the following manner:
County, Developer and Shapell shall meet and confer in good faith to determine (i) the
estimated reasonable cost of the Off-Site Traffic Improvements and (ii) the respective
11
proportions of such cost that fairly should be borne by Windemere Ranch and Gale
Ranch and other projects or parties, if any, contributing to the need for such
improvements. The costs and proportions so determined by County, Developer and
Shapell shall be reflected in the Traffic Impact Fee.
e. The list of Off-Site Traffic Improvements, and the
amount of the Traffic Impact Fee, may be reviewed by County in connection with its
review and approval of levels of development in the Dougherty Valley beyond an initial
level of 8,500 residential units.
f. At Developer's option, Developer may construct
any Off-site Traffic Improvement. In the event that Developer does construct an Off-
site Traffic Improvement, Developer shall receive a credit in the amount of the value of
such Off-Site Traffic Improvement, which credit shall be deducted from the
requirement of paying the Traffic Impact Fee as such fee becomes due.
g. In determining the amount of the Traffic Impact
Fee, County may credit Developer for that portion of the costs to be incurred by
Developer in connection with the construction of On-Site Traffic Improvements that
represents the extent to which the On-Site Traffic Improvements will serve subregional
and regional traffic other than traffic generated by Windemere Ranch.
h. Some portion of the Traffic Impact Fee may be
allocated to and collected from commercial development (on a per-square-foot basis) to
occur as a part of Windemere Ranch; provided, however, that the total amount of
Traffic Impact Fee to be collected from residential development to occur as a part of
Windemere Ranch (as determined above) shall be reduced by the amount of funds to be
so collected from commercial development.
L County shall not approve any tentative subdivision
map or final development plan for any portion of the Dougherty Valley until such time
as the Traffic Impact Fee has been determined, and shall condition the approval of any
such subdivision map or development plan upon the payment of such Traffic Impact
Fee.
j. The provisions of this Section 3.01(5), which
require Developer to fund or build its fair share of the Traffic Improvements at a
substantial cost, 'are intended to implement the principle of Measure C (1988) that "new
growth payo for the facilities required to meet the demands resulting from that
growth." To ensure that the improved service levels expected to be provided by the
Traffic Improvements will be enjoyed by residents of the Dougherty Valley and
surrounding areas, the County shall not take any action that would have the effect (as
12
determined by the methodology employed by County in connection with its review of
this Agreement) of degrading levels of service on the Traffic Improvements or
otherwise impairing the ability of the Traffic Improvements to achieve their intended
purpose.
k. County shall not impose on Developer any fee or
other obligation with respect to roads or traffic impacts other than as set forth in
Sections 3.01(4) and 3.01(5) of this Agreement.
(6) Processing Fees. Fees charged by County which solely
represent the reasonable costs to County for County staff time and resources spent
reviewing and processing Project Approvals are referred to in this Agreement as
"Processing Fees." County may charge Developer any applicable Processing Fees that
are operative and in force and effect on a Countywide basis at the time a Project
Approval is reviewed and processed.
(7) Mitigation Monitoring Program. Developer shall fund
County's mitigation monitoring program for Windemere Ranch, as adopted by the
Board on the First Approval Date and as it may hereafter be amended (the "Mitigation
Monitoring Program"), through the payment of a fee not to exceed $100 per residential
unit developed on the Windemere Site.
(8) Financing of On-Site Improvements.
a. County and Developer shall cooperate in the
formation, prior to any development in the Dougherty Valley, of a dedicated County
Service Area or other entity to receive a portion of the property taxes or assessments
from the Windemere Site and the Shapell Site (the "County Service Area"), which
County Service Area would be responsible for, among other things, the operation and
maintenance of facilities and infrastructure to serve the Dougherty Valley. The County
Service Area may continue, after the annexation of all or any portion of the Dougherty
Valley to a city, to collect such taxes or assessments from such property for the
operation and maintenance of such facilities and infrastructure. If the County Service
Area does not continue to collect taxes or assessments from annexed property, funds
shall be transferred from the County Service Area to the annexing city, as appropriate,
for such city's operation and maintenance of facilities and infrastructure located on
annexed property. The annexing city will operate and maintain any and all public
facilities and infrastructure in or serving any portion of the Dougherty Valley, and
located on property that has been annexed, at service levels at least equivalent to other
such facilities and infrastructure in the annexing city. Any annexing city will agree to
contract with the County Service Area (on mutually acceptable terms) for the operation
13
and maintenance of facilities and infrastructure that have not been annexed.
b. To ensure that certain community facilities
described in the Specific Plan (Community Center, Senior Center, Library, Police
Substation) will be constructed on a timely basis and made available to Dougherty
Valley residents at the appropriate time, County shall (except to the extent some other
provision for the financing of such facilities is requested or established by Developer or
Shapell, as appropriate) assess against residential units to be developed in the
Dougherty Valley.a community facilities fee, tax or assessment in an amount sufficient
to fund Developer's and Shapell's obligation to contribute to the cost of such facilities.
Funds so collected will be made available to Developer or Shapell, as appropriate, for
the construction of such facilities. The precise form, timing and amount of such fee,
tax or assessment shall be subject to Developer's advance written approval.
Section 3.02. Obligations of County. The parties acknowledge and agree
that Developer's agreement to perform and abide by the covenants and obligations of
Developer set forth herein is material consideration for County's agreement to perform
and abide by the covenants and obligations of County set forth herein.

issued) the Project Approvals and, with respect to matters not addressed by the
Planning Actionsor the Project Approvals (as and when they are adopted or issued),
those rules, regulations, official policies, standards and specifications (including the
General Plan and County's ordinances and resolutions) in force and effect on the
Second Approval Date.
Section 4.04. No Conflicting Enactments. Except as otherwise
specifically set forth herein, County shall not apply to Windemere Ranch (whether by
action of the Board or otherwise, or by initiative, referendum, issuance of a Project
Approval or other means, and whether through the exercise of County's police power
or taxing power) any ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, standard, directive,
condition or other measure (each individually, a "County Law") that is in conflict with
Applicable Law (including this Agreement) or that reduces the development 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
15
any of the following results, either by specific reference to Windemere Ranch or as part
of a general enactment which applies to or affects Windemere Ranch:
a. except as otherwise specifically provided in

Section 4.01(2) above, change any land use designation or permitted use of Windemere
Ranch Site;
C. except as otherwise specifically provided in
Section 4.01(2) above, limit or control the location of buildings, structures, grading, or
other improvements of Windemere Ranch in a manner that is inconsistent with or more
restrictive than the limitations included in the Planning Actions or (as and when they

services or facilities or any privileges or rights to public utilities, services, or facilities
(for example, water rights, water connections or sewage capacity rights, sewer

approvals by County other than those required by Applicable Law;
h. establish, enact, increase, or impose against
Windemere Ranch any fees, taxes (including without limitation general, special and

specifically permitted by this Agreement (including Traffic Impact Fees, Processing
Fees, fees to fund the Mitigation Monitoring Program and financial obligations
associated with the financing of on-site improvements and services as set forth in
Section 4.01(8) above) and (ii) any County-wide taxes and assessments;
16
L establish, enact, increase or impose against

or
j. limit the processing or issuance of Project
Approvals or applications for Project Approvals.
Section 4.06. Uniform Codes Exception. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, County may apply to Windeinere Ranch, 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

shall apply to Windemere Ranch only to the extent that such code or standard has been
adopted by County and is in effect on a County-wide basis.
Section 4.07. CEOA. County's environmental review of Project
Approvals pursuant to CEQA shall utilize the EIR and the Addendum to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

County more than fifteen (15) years but less than twenty (20) years following the
Effective Date, upon compliance with any performance standard that is contained in the
Growth Management Element of the General Plan as of the date that is fifteen (15)
years following the Effective Date. County may condition its issuance or approval of
any application for development, which application is submitted to the County more
than twenty (20) years following the Effective Date, upon compliance with any
performance standard that is contained in the Growth Management Element of the
General Plan as of the date that is twenty (20) years following the Effective Date.
Section 4.09. 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 Project 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 Windemere Ranch, such County Law shall not apply
to Windemere Ranch, or any portion thereof. County Laws made inoperative by this
17
provision include, but are not limited to, those that were not in force and effect on the
First Approval 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 of
service or water or sewer availability).
Section 4.10. Further Assurances.
a. To the maximum extent permitted by law, County
shall use its best efforts to prevent any County Law from invalidating or prevailing
over all or any part of this Agreement, and County shall cooperate with Developer and
use its best efforts to keep this Agreement in full force and effect.

(including this Agreement) or reduce the development rights provided by this
Agreement.
d. County shall take any and all actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to ensure that the vested rights provided by this Agreement
can be enjoyed by Developer including, without limitation, any actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to ensure the availability of public services and facilities to
serve Windemere Ranch as development occurs. This may involve the immediate
reservation of certain county-provided services and facilities and/or other actions
relating to services and facilities provided by other agencies.
Section 4.11. Life of Subdivision Maps. Development Approvals. and
Permits. The term of any subdivision map or and other permit approved as a Project
Approval shall automatically be extended as provided under California Government
Code § 66452.6(a) or California Government Code § 65863.9. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the vested rights associated with any vesting tentative map (but not the term
of such tentative map) shall terminate upon the expiration of the Term of this
Agreement.
18
Section 4.12. State and Federal Law. As provided in California
Government Code § 65869.5, this Agreement shall not preclude the application to
Windemere Ranch 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 ("Changes in the Law"). In the event Changes in the Law prevent or
preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of
the Agreement shall be modified or suspended, or performance thereof delayed, as may
be necessary to comply with Changes in the Law, and County and Developer shall take
such action as may be required pursuant to this Agreement including, without
limitation, Article 6 (Cooperation-Implementation) and Section 8.03 (Excusable
Delays; Extension of Time of Performance). Not in limitation of the foregoing,
nothing in this Agreement shall preclude County from imposing on Developer any fee
specifically mandated and required by state or federal laws and regulations.
Section 4.13. Timingof f Project Construction and Completion.
a. Notwithstanding Sections 84-66.1406(1) and 84-66.1602 of
the County Code, there is no requirement that Developer initiate or complete
development of Windemere Ranch or any particular phase of Windemere Ranch within
any particular period of time, and County shall not impose such a requirement on any
Project Approval. The parties acknowledge that Developer cannot at this time predict
when or the rate at which or the order in which phases will be developed. Such
decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not within the control of Developer,
such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, competition and other similar
factors.
b. In light of the foregoing and except as set forth in
subsection (c) below, the parties agree that Developer shall be able to develop in
accordance with Developer's own time schedule as such schedule may exist from time
to time, and Developer shall determine which part of the Windemere Site to develop
first, and at Developer's chosen schedule. In particular, and not in limitation of any of
the foregoing, since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v.
City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties therein 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, it is the parties' desire to avoid that result by acknowledging that Developer
shall have the right to develop Windemere Ranch in such order and at such rate and at
such times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business
judgment.
19
C. Nothing in this Agreement shall exempt Developer from
complying with the Growth Management Element of the General Plan or from
completing work required by a subdivision agreement, road improvement agreement or
similar agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 4.14. Developer Review of Infrastructure Plans.
Developer shall have the right to review and comment on plans for any infrastructure
improvement (including, without limitation, streets, roads, trails and detention basins)
to be constructed on the Windemere Site by any private parry. In the event of any
disagreement between Developer and County over the design or location of such
improvements, such disagreement shall be addressed as described in Section 8.06 below
("Resolution of Disputes").
ARTICLE 5. AMENDMENT
Section 5.01. Amendment of Planning Actions and Project Approvals.
To the extent permitted by state and federal law, any Planning Action (other than this
Agreement) or Project Approval may, from time to time, be amended or modified in
the following manner:
(1) Administrative Amendments. Upon the written request of
Developer for an amendment or modification to a Planning Action (other than this
Agreement) or Project Approval, the Community Development Director or his/her
designee shall determine: (i) whether the requested amendment or modification is
minor when considered in light of Windemere Ranch as a whole; and (ii) whether the
requested amendment or modification is consistent with Applicable Law (other than that
portion of Applicable Law sought to be amended). If the Community Development
Director or his/her designee finds that the proposed amendment or modification is both
minor and consistent with Applicable Law (other than that portion of Applicable Law
sought to be amended), the amendment shall be determined to be an "Administrative
Amendment" and-the Community Development Director or his designee may, except to
the extent otherwise required by law, approve the Administrative Amendment without
notice and public hearing. For the purpose of this Article 5, lot line adjustments,
changes in trail alignments, substitutions of comparable landscaping for any
landscaping shown on any final development plan or landscape plan, variations in the
location of lots or homesites that do not substantially alter the design concepts of
Windemere Ranch, and variations in the location or installation of utilities and other
infrastructure connections or facilities that do not substantially alter the design concepts
of Windemere Ranch, shall be treated as Administrative Amendments.
20
(2) Non-Administrative Amendments. Any request of
Developer for an amendment or modification to a Planning Action (other than this
Agreement) or Project Approval which is determined not to be an Administrative
Amendment as set forth above shall be subject to review, consideration and action
pursuant to Applicable Law (other than subsection (1) above).
Section 5.02. Amendment Of This Agreement. This Agreement may be
amended from time to time, in whole or in part, by mutual written consent of the
parties hereto or their successors in interest, as follows:
(1) Insubstantial Amendments. Paragraph G of County's
"Procedures and Requirements for the Consideration of Development Agreements"
(adopted by Board Resolution No. 85/412) permits a development agreement to
establish an alternative procedure for the processing of "insubstantial amendments" to
such an agreement. Pursuant to said Paragraph G, any amendment to this Agreement
which does not relate to (i) the Term of this Agreement, (ii) permitted uses of the
Windemere Site, (iii) provisions for the reservation or dedication of land,
(iv) conditions, terms, restrictions or requirements for subsequent discretionary actions,
(v) the density or-intensity of use of the Windemere Site or the maximum height or size
of proposed buildings or (vi) monetary contributions by Developer, shall not, except to
the extent otherwise required by law, require notice or public hearing before the parties
may execute an amendment hereto.
(2) Amendment Exemptions. No amendment of a Planning
Action (other than this Agreement), Project Approval or the Affordable Housing
Program shall require an amendment to this Agreement. Instead, any such amendment
automatically shall be deemed to be incorporated into Windemere Ranch and vested
under this Agreement.
(3) Parties Required to Amend. Where a portion of
Developer's rights or obligations have been transferred and a "Transfer Agreement" (as
described in Article 13 below) has been executed in connection therewith; the signature
of the person to whom such rights or obligations have been transferred shall not be
required to amend this Agreement unless such amendment would materially alter the
rights or obligations of such transferee hereunder; provided, however, that any such
transferee shall be provided with thirty (30) days' prior written notice of any
amendment to this Agreement.
(4) Non-Assuming.Transferees. In no event shall the signature
or consent of any "Non-Assuming Transferee" (described in Section 13.03 below) be
required to amend this Agreement.
21
ARTICLE 6. COOPERATION-IMPLEMENTATION
Section 6.01. Processing.
(1) In taking the Planning Actions, County has established
standards and procedures to guide the future development of Windemere Ranch. The
Project Approvals shall be deemed to be tools to implement those standards and
procedures and must be consistent therewith.
(2) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, County
shall not, through any Project Approval or the imposition of any condition of approval
thereto, enact or impose against Windemere Ranch any ordinance, resolution, rule,
regulation, standard, directive, condition or other measure that is in conflict with
Applicable Law (including this Agreement) as it exists immediately prior to the
issuance of such Project Approval, or that reduces the development rights provided by
this Agreement.
(3) Upon submission by Developer of all appropriate
applications and processing fees for any Project 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 Project Approval application including,
without limitation, (i) the notice and holding of public hearings and (ii) the decision
whether to approve the Project Approval application as set forth below.
(4) An application by Developer for a Project Approval may be
denied by County only if such application does not comply with Applicable Law, is
inconsistent with the Planning Actions (provided, however, that inconsistency with a
Planning Action shall not constitute grounds for,denial of a Project Approval requested
by Developer that is an amendment to that Planning Action) or County is unable to
make all findings,required by state law in connection with such Project Approval.
County may approve an application for such a Project Approval subject to any
conditions necessary to bring the Project Approval into compliance with Applicable
Law, make the Project Approval consistent with the Planning Actions or allow County
to make the findings required by state law, so long as such conditions comply with
subsection(2) of this Section 6.01. If County denies any application-for a Project
Approval, County must specify in making such denial modifications which are required
to obtain approval of such application. Any such specified modifications must be
consistent with this Agreement (including subsection (2) of this Section 6.01) and
Applicable Law, and County shall approve the application if subsequently resubmitted
for County review if it complies with the specified modifications.
22
(5) Developer shall, in a timely manner, provide County with
all documents, applications, plans, and other information necessary for County to carry
out its obligations hereunder and cause Developer's planners, engineers, and all other
consultants to submit, in a timely manner, all required materials and documents
therefor.
Section 6.02. Eminent Domain Powers. County shall cooperate with
Developer in implementing the Planning Actions and Project Approvals. To the extent
permitted by law,.such cooperation shall include, without limitation, the use by County
of its eminent domain powers where necessary to implement the Planning Actions and
any Project Approvals.
Section 6.03. Other Government Permits. Developer shall apply for such
other permits and approvals as may be required by other governmental or quasi-
governmental agencies in connection with the development of, or the provision of
services to, Windemere Ranch. County shall cooperate with Developer in its efforts to
obtain such permits and approvals and shall, from time to time at the request of
Developer, use its best efforts to enter into binding agreements with any such agency as
may be necessary to ensure the availability of such permits and approvals.
ARTICLE 7. COOPERATION IN THE EVENT OF LEGAL CHALLENGE
Section 7.01. Cooperation.
(1) In the event of any administrative, legal or equitable action
or other proceeding instituted by any person not a party to this Agreement challenging
the validity of any provision of any Planning Action or Project Approval, the parties
shall cooperate in defending such action or proceeding, or proceeding to settlement or
final judgment. Each party shall select its own legal counsel and retain such counsel at
its own expense, and in no event shall County be required to bear the fees or costs of
Developer's attorneys. Developer shall save and hold harmless County from and
against any and all claims and awards for third-party attorneys' fees associated with
such action or proceeding.
(2) The parties agree that this Section 7.01 shall constitute a
separate agreement entered into concurrently, and that if any other provision of this
Agreement, or the Agreement as a whole, is invalidated, rendered null, or set aside by
a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties agree to be bound by the terms of this
section, which shall survive such invalidation, nullification or setting aside.
23
Section 7.02. Cure: Reapproval.
(1) If, as a result of any administrative, legal or equitable
action or other proceeding as described in Section 7.01, all or any portion of the
Planning Actions (including, but not limited to, this Agreement) or Project Approvals
are set aside or otherwise made ineffective by any judgment (a "Judgment") in such
action or proceeding (based on procedural, substantive or other deficiencies, hereinafter
"Deficiencies"), the parties agree to use their respective best efforts to sustain and
reenact or readopt those Planning Actions and/or Project Approvals that the
Deficiencies related to, as follows, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to act
otherwise:
a. If any Judgment requires reconsideration or
consideration by County of a Planning Action or Project Approval, then the County
shall consider or reconsider that matter in a manner consistent with the intent of this
Agreement. If any such Judgment invalidates or otherwise makes ineffective all or any
portion of any Planning Action or Project Approval, then the Parties shall cooperate
and shall cure any Deficiencies identified in the Judgment or upon which the Judgment
is based in a manner consistent with the intent of this Agreement. County shall then
readopt or reenact the Planning Action or Project Approval, or any portion thereof, to
which the Deficiencies related.
b. Acting in a manner consistent with the intent of this
Agreement includes, but is not limited to, recognizing that the Parties intend that,
subject to the provisions Section 4.01(2) above, Developer may develop 5,170
residential units at the densities provided in the Specific Plan and 266,000 square feet
of commercial uses, and adopting such ordinances, resolutions, and other enactments,
including but not limited to zoning ordinances and general plan amendments, as are
necessary to readopt or reenact all or any portion of the Planning Actions and/or
Project Approvals without contravening the Judgment.

subject to the following limitations: Any additional, revised or modified environmental
mitigation measures or alternatives that might be imposed as a result of a Judgment
shall comply with subsection (b) above. County's discretion in reviewing any
information regarding environmental impacts or alternatives shall be limited by

24
(2) The parties agree that this Section 7.02 shall constitute a
separate agreement entered into concurrently, and that if any other provision of this
Agreement, or the Agreement as a whole, is invalidated, rendered null, or set aside by
a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties agree to be bound by the terms of this
section, which shall survive such invalidation, nullification or setting aside.
ARTICLE 8. DEFAULT; REMEDIES; TERMINATION
Section 8.01. General Provisions.
(1) Defaults. Any failure by either party to perform any term
or provision of this Agreement, which failure continues uncured for a period of
thirty (30) days following written notice of such failure from the other party (unless
such period is extended by mutual written consent), shall constitute a default under this
Agreement. Any'notice given pursuant to the preceding sentence shall specify the
nature of the alleged failure and, where appropriate, the manner in which said failure
satisfactorily may be cured. If the nature of the alleged failure is such that it cannot
reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, then the commencement of the cure
within such time period, and the diligent prosecution to completion of the cure
thereafter, shall be deemed to be a cure within such 30-day period. Upon the
occurrence of a default under this Agreement, the non-defaulting party may institute
legal proceedings-to enforce the terms of this Agreement or, in the event of a material
default, terminate this Agreement. If the default is cured, then no default shall exist
and the noticing party shall take no further action.
(2) Termination. If County elects to consider terminating this
Agreement due to a material default of Developer, then County shall give a notice of
intent to terminate this Agreement and the matter shall be scheduled for consideration
and review by the Board at a duly noticed and conducted public hearing. Developer
shall have the right to offer written and oral evidence prior to or at the time of said
public hearings. If the Board determines that a material default has occurred and is
continuing, and elects to terminate this Agreement, County shall give written notice of
termination of this Agreement to Developer by certified mail and this Agreement shall
thereby be terminated sixty (60) days thereafter; provided, however, that if Developer
files an action to challenge County's termination of this Agreement within such sixty-
day period, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until a trial court
has affirmed County's termination of this Agreement and all appeals have been
exhausted (or the time for requesting any and all appellate review has expired).
25
Section 8.02. Annual Review.
(1) On or before October 15 of each year, the Developer shall
submit to the County Community Development Department a report demonstrating the
good-faith compliance with the terms of the Agreement. This review shall be limited
in scope to compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

staff report at a noticed public hearing. After considering the evidence presented at
such public hearing, the Community Development Director shall adopt, adopt with
modifications or deny the staff report.
(3) Prior to January 30 of each calendar year, and based on the
staff report, the Community Development Director shall make a determination
regarding compliance with the Agreement. If the Community Development Director
finds and determines that Developer has not complied with such terms and conditions,
and non-compliance may amount to a default if not cured, then the Community
Development Director may deliver a Default Notice pursuant to Section 8.01 of this
Agreement, in which case the provisions of Section 8.01 shall apply. If the
Community Development Director does not send such a default Notice, then the
Community Development Director and County shall take no further action; the County,
including the Community Development Director, may exercise its right relating to any
such event of default only after complying with Section 8.01 of this Agreement.
(4) County shall deliver to developer a copy of all staff reports
and documents to be used or relied upon in conducting the Annual Review and, to the
extent practical, related exhibits concerning Developer's performance hereunder, at
least ten (10) days prior to any such Annual Review. Developer shall be permitted
during the Annual Review to respond orally or by a written statement, or both, to
County's evaluation of Developer's performance.
(5) In the event County fails to either: (i) conduct the Annual
Review or (ii) notify Developer in writing (following the time during which the review
is to be conducted) of County's determination as to compliance or noncompliance with
the terms of this Agreement and such failure remains uncured as of 60 days following
the anniversary of the Effective Date in any year during the term of this Agreement,
such failure shall be deemed an approval by County of Developer's compliance with
the terms of this Agreement for that Annual Review period.
26
(6) With respect to any year for which an Annual Review is
conducted and compliance is approved, or with respect to any year in which County is
deemed to approve of Developer's compliance with this Agreement pursuant to the
preceding paragraph, County, upon request of Developer, shall provide Developer with
a written "Notice,of Compliance," pursuant to Article 15 of this Agreement.
Section 8:03. Excusable Delays: Extension of Time of Performance.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither party shall be
deemed to be in default where delays in performance or failures to perform are due to,
and a necessary outcome of, war, insurrection, strikes or other labor disturbances,
walk-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, restrictions
imposed 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 performance which is not within the reasonable control of
the party to be excused. Upon the request of either party hereto, an extension of time
for the performance of any obligation whose performance has been so prevented or
delayed will be memorialized in writing. The term of any such extension shall be equal
to the period of the excusable delay, or longer, as may be mutually agreed upon.
Section 8.04. Legal Action. Either party may, in addition to any other
rights or remedies, institute an equitable action to cure, correct, or remedy any default,
enforce any covenant or agreement herein, enjoin any threatened or attempted violation
thereof or enforce by specific performance the obligations and rights of the parties
hereto, or to obtain any remedies consistent with the foregoing. In no event shall either
County or Developer be entitled to monetary damages for breach of contract by the
other party to this Agreement.
Section 8.05. California Law. This Agreement shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
Section 8.06. Resolution of Disputes. With regard to any dispute
involving development of the specific plan area, the resolution of which is not provided
for by this Agreement or Applicable Law, Developer shall, at County's request, meet
with County and/or any party designated by County. The parties to any such meetings
shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such disputes. However, nothing in this
provision shall in any way be interpreted as requiring that Developer and County
and/or County's designee reach agreement with regard to those matters being
27
addressed, nor shall the outcome of these meetings be binding in any way on County or
Developer unless.expressly agreed to by the parties to such meetings.
ARTICLE 9. DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY
(1) Developer's Actions. Developer shall defend and
indemnify County and its elected and appointed officers, agents, employees, and
representatives from claims, costs, and liabilities for any personal injury, death, or
physical property damage (including inverse condemnation) to any third party which

operations performed under this Agreement, by Developer or by Developer's
contractors, subcontractors, agents or employees, whether such operations were
performed by Developer or any of Developer's contractors, subcontractors, or by any
one or more persons directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as agent for
Developer or any of Developer's contractors or subcontractors.
(2) County's Actions. Nothing in this section shall be
construed to mean that Developer shall defend or indemnify County or its elected or
appointed officers, agents, employees and representatives from any claims of personal
injury, death or property damage arising from, or alleged to arise from the maintenance
or repair by County of improvements that have been offered for dedication and
accepted by County for maintenance.

Windemere Ranch herein described, subject only to the limitations and obligations of
Developer under Planning Actions and Project Approvals; and (iv) County and

Agreement in question. County may refuse to give its consent only if, in light of the
proposed transferee's reputation and financial resources, such transferee would not in

Section 14.01. Mortgagee Protection. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any provision, amendment or
breach of this Agreement shall operate to defeat or render invalid the rights of any
present or future "Mortgagee" (defined below) under a "Mortgage" (defined below)
encumbering the Windemere Site or any part thereof, or any interest therein, made for
value; provided, however, that after the "Foreclosure" (defined below) of any such
Mortgage, the portion of Windemere Ranch or the interest therein, that had been
encumbered by such Mortgage shall remain subject to and entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement. As used in this Agreement, (i) the term "Foreclosure" shall mean judicial
foreclosure, sale under a power of sale, or deed in lieu of either of the foregoing or a
private or public foreclosure sale under the California Uniform Commercial Code,
(ii) the term "Mortgage" shall mean a mortgage, deed of trust, or other security
instrument and (iii) the term "Mortgagee" shall mean a mortgagee, a beneficiary of a
deed of trust or the secured party under any other security instrument.
Section 14.02. Notice of Default to Mortgagee. If County receives
notice from a Mortgagee requesting a copy of any notice of default given to Developer
hereunder and specifying the address for service of such copy, then County shall
deliver to such Mortgagee, concurrently with service thereon to Developer, any notice
given to Developer under Section 8.01 above. Each Mortgagee shall have the right,
but not the obligation, at its option, to cure or remedy any such default under this
Agreement by the Developer in accordance with Section 14.03 below.
Section 14.03. Mortgagee Opportunity to Cure. This Agreement shall
not be terminated by County as to any Mortgagee (i) who has requested notices of
default, as set forth above, but is not given notice by the County or (ii) to whom such
notice is given and as to which either of the following is true:
(1) as to any default involving the payment of money to
County by Developer, such Mortgagee has cured such default within sixty (60) days
after receipt of notice of default;
33
(2) as to any default not involving the payment of money by
Developer to County:
a. , such Mortgagee has cured, or caused to be cured,
the default within ninety (90) days after receipt or notice thereof; or
b. such Mortgagee, within ninety (90) days after the
receipt of notice of default, commences foreclosure proceedings to-acquire title to the
applicable portion of Windemere Ranch and thereafter diligently pursues the
Foreclosure to completion.
Subject to the foregoing, if any Mortgagee records a notice of default as
to its Mortgage, Developer's rights and obligations under this Agreement may be
transferred to the Mortgagee or to any purchaser of the Developer's interest in a
Foreclosure.
Section 14.04. Approval by Mortgagees. County recognizes that the
provisions of this Agreement may be a matter of concern to any Mortgagee intending to
make a loan secured by a Mortgage encumbering the Windemere Site, or a portion
thereof. If such Mortgagee should require, as a condition to such financing, any
modification of this Agreement to protect its security interest in the Windemere Site or
portion thereof, County shall execute the appropriate amendments; provided, however,
that County shall not be required (but is permitted) to make any modification that
would (i) materially and adversely affect County's rights hereunder, (ii) increase
County's obligations hereunder, (iii) reduce Developer's obligations hereunder or
(iv) constitute an amendment other than an "Insubstantial Amendment" as described in
Section 5.02 above.
Section 14.05. Notice of Proposed Amendment to Mortgagee. This
Agreement may be amended without the approval or execution of any such amendment
by any Mortgagee. However, if County receives notice from a Mortgagee requesting
notices of proposed amendments, County shall provide a copy of any proposed
amendment to such Mortgagee.
Section 14.06. Dougherty Valley Development Strategy. The Dougherty
Valley is the subject of a comprehensive and integrated planning effort. It has been
designed to allow development by phases. The timing of phase development will
reflect market conditions and business decisions of the developers of the Dougherty
Valley, while requiring that each phase make provision for its needs for infrastructure,
services and amenities. Recognizing this development strategy, it is the intent of the
34
Parties that while development must occur in furtherance of the valley-wide Dougherty
Valley planning effort and the County's Growth Management Element, developers of
the Dougherty Valley be able to pursue development in a manner commensurate with
their own goals and resources. Therefore, subject to Section 3.01(4) of this
Agreement, County shall not impose any condition to a Project Approval that cannot be
met solely by Developer.
ARTICLE 15. NOTICE OF COMPLIANCE
Within thirty (30) days following any written request which Developer
may make from time to time, County shall execute and deliver to Developer (or to any
party requested by Developer) a written "Notice of Compliance," in recordable form,
duly executed and acknowledged by County, that certifies:
(1) This Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect,
or if there have been modifications hereto, that this Agreement is in full force and
effect as modified and stating the date and nature of such modifications;
(2) There are no current uncured defaults under this Agreement
or specifying the dates and nature of any such default;
(3) Any other information reasonably requested by Developer.
The failure to deliver such a statement within such time shall constitute a conclusive
presumption against County that this Agreement is in full force and effect without
modification except as may be represented by the Developer and that there are no
uncured defaults in the performance of the Developer, except as may be represented by
the Developer. Developer shall have the right at Developer's sole discretion, to record
the Notice of Compliance.

which is deemed to be an original. This Agreement consists of (�

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA AND
SHAPELL INDUSTRIES, INC. RELATING TO
THE DEVELOPMENT COMMONLY KNOWN AS
THE GALE RANCH
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into as of this _ day of
1994, by and between SHAPELL INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Developer"), and the COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, a political subdivision of the State of
California ("County"), pursuant to Government Code section 65864 et seq. Developer and County
are from time to time hereinafter referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively as the
"Parties." This Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety that certain development
agreement entered into by and between Developer and County dated October 2, 1990, which is
hereby terminated.
RECITALS
A. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in
comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State
of California enacted Government Code section 65864 et seq. (the "Development Agreement
Statute"), which authorizes County to enter into an agreement with any person having a legal or
equitable interest in real property,regarding the development of such property.
B. Pursuant to Government Code section 65865, County has adopted rules and regulations
establishing procedures and requirements for consideration of development agreements
(Ordinance No. 92-73 and Board Resolution No. 85/412). This Development Agreement has been
processed,considered and executed in accordance with those County rules and regulations.
1
CA940230.008
C. Developer has a legal interest in certain real property consisting of approximately two
thousand seven hundred eight (2,708) acres located in the unincorporated portion of the County, as
described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Gale Ranch Site").
D. Developer intends to develop the Gale Ranch Site as a residential planned community of
5,830 units, along with retail and office uses and community services, as more particularly described
in Section 2 of this Agreement(the"Gale Ranch").
E. County has determined that this Agreement is appropriate for the Gale Ranch and desires
to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement establishes planning principles and procedures to
eliminate uncertainty in planning and provide for the orderly development of the Gale Ranch
consistent with the General Plan and the Dougherty Valley Specific Plan, mitigate significant
environmental impacts, ensure installation of necessary on-site and off-site public improvements,
provide for the preservation'of substantial permanent open space, make provision for public trail
facilities, provide funding for traffic improvements, provide for public services appropriate to the
development of the Gale Ranch, provide affordable housing, ensure attainment of the maximum
effective utilization of resources within the County at the least economic cost to its citizens and
otherwise achieve the goals and purposes for which the Development Agreement Statute was
enacted. Furthermore, development of the Gale Ranch pursuant to the Agreement would result in
increased tax, fee and other revenues resulting in fiscal benefits to the County and an improved
balance between jobs and housing within the County and the region.
F. This Agreement requires compliance with the Growth Management Element of the
General Plan. Pursuant to this Growth Management Element,County shall not approve development
of the Gale Ranch absent compliance with the standards established by that element relating to
water,sanitary facilities,fire,police,parks,flood control and traffic.
2
CA940230.008
G. In exchange for the benefits to County described in the preceding Recital, together with
the other public benefits that will result from the development of the Gale Ranch, Developer will
receive by this Agreement assurance that it may proceed with the Gale Ranch in accordance with the
"Applicable Law" (defined below), and therefore desires to enter into this Agreement. In the
absence of this Agreement, Developer would have no present assurance that it could proceed with
the Gale Ranch in accordance with the Applicable Law.
H. County has taken various environmental review and planning actions relating to the
development of the Gale Ranch. These actions include, without limitation,the following:
1. Dougherty Valley EIR. The environmental impacts of the Planning Actions, and
several alternatives to the Gale Ranch or its location, have been properly reviewed and
assessed by County pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the "CEQA
Guidelines" and County's local guidelines promulgated thereunder (hereinafter collectively
referred to as "CEQA"). On December 22, 1992, pursuant to CEQA and in accordance with
the recommendation of the County's Zoning Administrator, the Board certified a final
environmental impact report regarding the Gale Ranch(the "Dougherty Valley EIR").
2. General Plan Amendment. On December 22, 1992, following review by the San
Ramon Valley Regional Planning Commission and the County Planning Commission, and
recommendation by the County Planning Commission, and after duly noticed public hearing
and certification of the Dougherty Valley EIR,the Board, by Resolution 92/866,approved an
amendment to the County General Plan (the "General Plan Amendment"), addressing the
Gale Ranch Site and certain real property adjacent to the Gale Ranch Site including
(i)approximately 2379 acres owned by Windemere Ranch Partners (the "Windemere
Property") and (ii)approximately 892 acres owned by the United States Department of the
Army("Camp Parks").
3
CA940230.008
3. Specific Plan. On December 22, 1992, following review by the San Ramon
Valley Regional Planning Commission and the County Planning Commission and
recommendation by the County Planning Commission, certification of the Dougherty Valley
EIR, adoption of the General Plan Amendment, and duly noticed public hearing, the County
Board of Supervisors adopted, by Resolution 92/867, a single specific plan for the Gale
Ranch Site, the Windemere Property, and Camp Parks (collectively, the "Dougherty
Valley"), which specific plan is entitled the "Dougherty Valley Specific Plan" (the "Specific
Plan").
4. P-1 Zoning and Preliminary Development Plan. On , 1994,
following review by the San Ramon Valley Regional Planning Commission and the County
Planning Commission, and recommendation by the County Planning Commission,
certification of the Dougherty Valley EIR, adoption of the General Plan Amendment and
Specific Plan, the Board's consideration of an addendum to the Dougherty Valley EIR (the
"Dougherty Valley EIR Addendum") with Dougherty Valley EIR, and duly noticed public
hearing, the County Board of Supervisors adopted County Ordinance No._, rezoning the
Gale Ranch Site to County's "P-1" zoning district (the "P-1 Zoning"), consistent with the
General Plan and the Specific Plan, and approved a Preliminary Development Plan for the
Gale Ranch Site in accordance with its P-1 zoning(the "Preliminary Development Plan").
5. The General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, P-1 Zoning, Preliminary
Development Plan, and this Agreement are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the
"Planning Actions."
1. The parties acknowledge and agree that applications for specific land use approvals,
entitlements, permits and agreements (collectively, the "Subsequent Approvals") must be made by
Developer and reviewed (in compliance with CEQA)and approved, issued or entered into by County
prior to any development on the Gale Ranch Site. The Subsequent Approvals may include, without
4

limitation, the following: amendments of the Planning Actions, design review approvals,
improvement agreements and other agreements relating to the Gale Ranch, use permits, grading
permits, building permits, lot line adjustments, sewer and water connection permits, certificates of

recommended that the Board approve this Agreement.
K. On , 1994 (the "Approval Date"), after duly noticed public hearing and
considering the Dougherty Valley EIR Addendum with the Dougherty Valley EIR, the Board took
the following actions: (1) made findings required by County Resolution No. 85/412, that the

necessary (but no more than the amount necessary)to fund Developer's fair share of the cost
of construction of the Off-Site Traffic Improvements (the "Traffic Impact Fee"). The
amount of the Traffic Impact Fee shall be determined as set forth in subsection(4) below,
and shall apply to residential units developed in the Dougherty Valley. The Traffic Impact
Fee applicable to a residential unit shall be paid when the building permit for such unit is
issued or, if it is the standard practice of County at the time, when the applicable final
subdivision map is filed for recordation.
(4) The amount of the Traffic Impact Fee shall be determined, within six weeks
following the Effective Date, in the following manner: County, Developer and Windemere
shall meet and confer in good faith to determine (i)the estimated reasonable cost of the
Off-Site Traffic Improvements and (ii)the respective proportions of such cost that fairly
should be borne by Windemere Ranch and the Gale Ranch and other projects or parties, if
any, contributing to the need for such improvements. The costs and proportions so
determined by County, Developer and Windemere shall be reflected in the Traffic Impact
Fee.

Improvement. In the event that Developer does construct an Off-Site Traffic Improvement,
Developer shall receive a credit in the amount of the value of such Off-Site Traffic
Improvement, which credit shall be deducted from the requirement of paying the Traffic
Impact Fee as such fee becomes due.
(7) In determining the amount of the Traffic Impact Fee, County may credit
Developer for that portion of the costs to be incurred by Developer in connection with the
construction of On-Site Traffic Improvements that represents the extent to which the On-Site
Traffic Improvements will serve subregional and regional traffic other than traffic generated
by Gale Ranch.
(8) Some portion of the Traffic Impact Fee may be allocated to and collected from
commercial development (on a per-square-foot basis) to occur as a part of the Gale Ranch;
provided, however, that the total amount of Traffic Impact Fee to be collected from
residential development to occur as a part of the Gale Ranch (as determined above) shall be
reduced by the amount of funds to be so collected from commercial development.

the Growth Management Element of the General Plan relating to traffic on Basic Routes and
Routes of Regional Significance in conjunction with the approval of tentative subdivision
maps.

to roads or traffic impacts other than as set forth in Section 3.1(d)of this Agreement.
(e) Dougherty Road Improvements. County shall not require, either as a condition to any
Planning Action or Subsequent Approval or in any other manner, that Developer construct or cause
to be constructed a realigned Dougherty Road, as shown in the Specific Plan and Preliminary
10
CA940230.00e
Development Plan, prior to 10 years from the effective date of this Agreement. Prior to County
imposing any requirement involving a realigned Dougherty Road, County may require, as a
condition to a Subsequent Approval, that Developer improve existing Dougherty Road in a manner
acceptable to County.
(f) Mitigation Monitoring. Developer shall fund County's mitigation monitoring program
for the Gale Ranch as adopted by the Board on December 22, 1992 and as it may hereafter be
amended for the purposes of compliance with CEQA (the "Mitigation Monitoring Program"),
through the payment of a fee not to exceed $100 per residential unit developed on the Gale Ranch ,
Site.
3.2 Obligations of County. The parties acknowledge and agree that Developer's agreement
to perform and abide by the covenants and obligations of Developer set forth herein is material
consideration for County's agreement to perform and abide by the covenants and obligations of
County set forth herein.

schedule may exist from time to time, and Developer shall determine which part of the Gale Ranch
Site to develop first, and at Developer's chosen schedule. Nothing in this Agreement exempts
Developer from complying with the Growth Management Element of the County General Plan or
from completing work required by a subdivision agreement, road improvement agreement, or similar
agreement in accordance with the terms of that agreement.

or location of such improvements, such disagreement shall be addressed as described in Section 8 of
this Agreement("Dispute Resolution").
Section 5. AMENDMENT'
5.1 Amendment of Planning Actions and Subsequent Approvals. To the extent
permitted by state and federal law, any Planning Action or Subsequent Approval may, from time to
time,be amended or modified in the following manner:
(a) Administrative ,Amendments. Upon the written request of Developer for an
amendment or modification to a Planning Action or Subsequent Approval, the Community
Development Director or his/her designee shall determine: (i)whether the requested amendment or
modification is minor when considered in light of the Gale Ranch as a whole; and (ii)whether the
requested amendment or modification is consistent with Applicable Law, other than that portion of
Applicable Law sought to be amended. If the Community Development Director or his/her designee
19
CA940230.008
finds that the proposed amendment or modification is both minor and consistent with Applicable
Law (other than that portion of Applicable Law sought to be amended), the amendment shall be
determined to be an "Administrative Amendment," and the Community Development Director or his
designee may, except to the extent otherwise required by law, approve the Administrative
Amendment without notice and public hearing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, lot
line adjustments, changes in trail alignments, substitutions of comparable landscaping for any
landscaping shown on any final development plan or landscape plan, and variations in the location of
lots or homesites that do not substantially alter the design concepts of the Gale Ranch, and variations
r
in the location or installation of utilities and other infrastructure connections or facilities that do not
substantially alter the design concepts of the Gale Ranch, shall be treated as Administrative
Amendments.
(b) Non-Administrative Amendments. Any request of Developer for an amendment or
modification to a Planning Action or Subsequent Approval which is determined by the Director not
to be an Administrative Amendment as set forth above shall be subject to review, consideration and
action pursuant to Applicable.Law.
5.2 Amendment of This Agreement. This Agreement may be amended from time to time,
in whole or in part, by mutual written consent of the parties hereto or their successors in interest, in
accordance with this Agreement and the provisions of Government Code §§ 65867, 65867.5, and
65868 as follows:
(a) Insubstantial Amendments. Paragraph G of the County's "Procedures and
Requirements for the Consideration of Development Agreements," adopted by Board Resolution
No. 85/412, permits a development agreement to establish an alternative procedure for the
processing of "insubstantial amendments" to such an agreement. Notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Section 5.2, and pursuant to said Paragraph G, any amendment to this Agreement
which does not relate to (i)the Term of this Agreement; (ii)permitted uses of the Gale Ranch Site,
20
CA940230.008
(iii)provisions for reservation and dedication of land, (iv)conditions, terms, restrictions, or
requirements for subsequent discretionary actions, (v)the density or intensity of use, (vi) the
maximum height or size of proposed buildings, or (vii)monetary contributions by Developer, shall
not require notice or public hearing before the parties may execute an amendment hereto.
(b) Amendments of,.Planning Actions and Subsequent Approvals. No amendment of a
Planning Action (other than'this Agreement) or Subsequent Approval or the Affordable Housing
Program shall require an amendment to this Agreement. Instead,any such amendment automatically
shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Gale Ranch and made subject to this Agreement.

units permitted to be developed on the Gale Ranch Site to fewer than 5,830 or change the
distribution of those 5,830 units by density as provided in the Specific Plan or reduce the square
footage of commercial development permitted to be developed on the Gale Ranch Site to fewer than
266,000 square feet; or (ii)otherwise enact or impose any ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation,
standard,directive, condition or other measure that is in conflict with Applicable Law(including this
Agreement) as it exists immediately prior to the adoption of such Subsequent Approval. Nothing in
21
CA940230.008
item (i) of this subsection shall require County to approve any particular Subsequent Approvals if
County cannot make all findings required by state law in connection therewith.
(c) 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, without limitation, (i)the notice and holding of all required public
hearings,and(ii)the decision on the Subsequent Approval application as set forth below.
(d) County may deny an application requested by Developer for a Subsequent Approval
only if(i)such application does not comply with this Agreement, (ii) such application is inconsistent
with the Planning Actions (provided, however, that inconsistency with a Planning Action shall not
constitute grounds for denial of an application for a Subsequent Approval requested by Developer
that is an amendment to that Planning Action), or (iii)County is unable to make all findings related
to the Subsequent Approval'required by state law. County may approve an application for such a
Subsequent Approval subject to any conditions necessary to bring the Subsequent Approval into
compliance with this Agreement, make the Subsequent Approval consistent with the Planning
Actions, or allow County to make the findings required by state law, so long as such conditions
comply with Section 6.1(b) of this Section 6.1. If County denies any application for a Subsequent
Approval, County must specify in making such denial the modifications required to obtain approval
of such application. Any such specified modifications must be consistent with Applicable Law
(including this Agreement),and County shall approve the application if subsequently resubmitted for
County review if it complies:with the specified modifications.
(e) Developer shall, in a timely manner, provide County with all documents, applications,
plans, and other information. necessary for County to carry out its obligations hereunder and cause
Developer's planners, engineers, and all other consultants to submit, in a timely manner, all required

materials and documents therefor. It is the express intent of Developer and County to cooperate and
diligently work to obtain any and all Subsequent Approvals.
6.2 Eminent Domain Powers. County shall cooperate with Developer in implementing the
Planning Actions and Subsequent Approvals. To the extent permitted by law, such cooperation shall
include, without limitation,:the use by County of its eminent domain powers where necessary to

approvals as may be required by other governmental or quasi-governmental agencies in connection
with the development of, or the provision of services to, the Gale Ranch. County shall cooperate
with Developer in its efforts to obtain such permits and approvals and shall, from time to time at the

Approval, including this Agreement, or Subsequent Approval, the Parties shall cooperate in
defending such action or proceeding to settlement or final judgment. Each Party shall select its own
legal counsel and retain such counsel at its own expense, and in no event shall County be required to
bear the fees and costs of Developer's attorneys. Developer shall save and hold harmless County
from and against any and all claims and awards for third party attorneys' fees associated with such
action or proceeding.
23
CA940230.008
.i
(b) The parties agree.that this Section 7.1 shall constitute a separate agreement entered into
concurrently with this Agreement, and that if any other provision of this Agreement, or the

the Parties agree to be bound by the terms of this section, which shall survive such invalidation,
nullification,or setting aside."
7.2 Cure; Reapproval.
(a) County has found and determined, in its legislative discretion, that the Gale Ranch
should be approved, provided all requirements of law are met. County has also found and
determined, in its legislativediscretion, and based upon information available to it at the time, that
the benefits of the Gale Ranch outweigh any unavoidable significant adverse environmental impacts
of the Gale Ranch. Accordingly, if, as a result of any administrative, legal or equitable action or
other proceeding as described in Section 7.1, all or any portion of the Planning Actions (including,
but not limited to, this Agreement) or Subsequent Approvals are set aside or otherwise made
ineffective by any judgment (a "Judgment") in such action or proceeding (based on procedural,
substantive or other deficiencies, hereinafter "Deficiencies"), the Parties agree to use their respective
best efforts to sustain and reenact or readopt those Planning Actions and/or Subsequent Approvals
that the Deficiencies related to, as follows, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to act
otherwise.
(1) If any Judgment requires reconsideration or consideration by County of any
matter, then the County shall consider or reconsider that matter in a manner consistent with
the intent of this Agreement. If any such Judgment invalidates or otherwise makes
ineffective all or any portion of any Project Approval or Subsequent Approval, then the
Parties shall cooperate and shall cure any Deficiencies identified in the Judgment or upon
which the Judgment is based in a manner consistent with the intent of this Agreement.
24
CA940230.008
County shall then readopt or reenact the Gale Ranch Approval or Subsequent Approval, or
any portion thereof,to which the Deficiencies related.
(2) Acting in a manner consistent with the intent of this Agreement includes, but is
not limited to, recognizing that the Parties intend that, subject to the provisions of
Section 4.1(a) of this Agreement, the permitted uses of the Gale Ranch Site shall include
5,830 residential units at.the densities provided in the Specific Plan and 266,000 square feet
of commercial uses, and adopting such ordinances, resolutions, and other enactments,
including but not limited to, zoning ordinances and general plan amendments, as are
necessary to readopt or reenact all or any portion of the Planning Actions and/or Subsequent
Approvals without contravening the Judgment.
(3) The provisions of subsections (a) and (b), above, are subject to the following
limitations: Any additional, revised or modified environmental mitigation measures or
alternatives that might be imposed as a result of a Judgment shall comply with Section 7.2(b)
of this Agreement. County's discretion in reviewing any information regarding
environmental impacts 'or alternatives shall be limited only by Section 7.2(b) of this
Agreement.
(b) The Parties agree that this Section 7.2 shall constitute a separate agreement entered into
concurrently with this Agreement, and that if any other provision of this Agreement, or the
Agreement as a whole, is invalidated, rendered null, or set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the Parties agree to be bound by the terms of this section, which shall survive such invalidation,
nullification,or setting aside:

County and/or any party designated by County. The parties to any such meetings shall attempt in
good faith to resolve any such disputes. However, nothing in this provision shall in any way be
interpreted as requiring that Developer and County and/or County's designee reach agreement with
regard to those matters being addressed, nor shall the outcome of these meetings be binding in any
way on County or Developer'unless expressly agreed to by the Parties.

I
12.4 Construction: Each reference in this Agreement to this Agreement or any of the
Planning Actions or Subsequent Approvals shall be deemed to refer to the Agreement, Project
Approval or Subsequent Approval as it may be amended from time to time, whether or not the

12.7 Dougherty Valley Development Strategy. The Dougherty Valley is the subject of a
comprehensive and integrated planning effort. It has been designed to allow development by phases.
The timing of phase development will reflect market conditions and business decisions of the
developers of the Dougherty:Valley,while requiring that each phase make provision for its needs for
infrastructure, services and amenities. Recognizing this development strategy, it is the intent of the
31
CA940230.008
Parties that while development must occur in furtherance of the valley-wide Dougherty Valley
planning effort and the County's Growth Management Element, developers of the Dougherty Valley
be able to pursue development in a manner commensurate with their own goals and resources.
Therefore, County shall not impose any condition to a Subsequent Approval that cannot be met
solely by Developer.
12.8 Mortgagee Rights. Any mortgagee which wishes to receive notices of default from
the County pursuant to this Section 12.8 may provide written notice to the County requesting such
notice. County shall notify any such mortgagee requesting notice of any event of default by
Developer under this Agreement and provide to any such mortgagee the same opportunity to cure
such event of default as is provided to Developer under this Agreement. Failure to so notify any
such mortgagee shall not give rise to any liability on the part of County, provided that this
Agreement shall not be terminated by County as to any mortgagee (1)who has requested notice but
the mortgagee is not given notice by the County or (2)to whom notice is given and to which either
or the following is true:
(1) the mortgagee cures any default involving the payment of money by Developer
within sixty(60)days after notice of default;
(2) as to defaults requiring title or possession of all or any portion of the Gale Ranch
to effectuate a cure: (i)the mortgagee agrees in writing, within ninety(90) days after the
written notice of default,to perform the proportionate share of Developer's obligations under
this Agreement allocable to that part of the Gale Ranch Site in which the mortgagee has an
interest conditioned upon the mortgagee's acquisition of that part by foreclosure (including a
trustee sale) or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure; (ii)the mortgagee commences foreclosure
proceedings to reacquire title to all or the applicable portion of the Gale Ranch Site within
the ninety (90) days and thereafter diligently pursues the foreclosure to completion; and
(iii)the mortgagee (or any purchaser of the Developer's interest at foreclosure, or trustee
32
CA940230.008
sale, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure promptly and diligently cures the default after
obtaining title or possession. Subject to the foregoing, in the event any mortgagee records a
notice of default as to its-mortgage or deed of trust, Developer's rights and obligations under
this Agreement may be transferred to the mortgagee or to any purchaser of the Developer's
interest at a foreclosure or trustee sale and Developer shall remain liable for such obligations
unless released by County or unless County has approved the transfer in accordance with
Section 14.1, Section 14.2,and Section 14.3.
