DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT This Development Agreement (“Agreement”), dated for reference purposes ____________, 2004, is entered into by and between Lantana North Hines Development, LLC, a limited liability company (“Developer”), and the City of Santa Monica, a municipal corporation organized and existing pursuant to the laws of the State of California and the Charter of the City of Santa Monica (“City”), with reference to the following facts:

RECITALS

(1) Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65864 et seq. and Chapter 9.48 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code (collectively, the “Development Agreement Statutes”), the City is authorized to enter into binding development agreements with persons or entities having legal or equitable interest in real property for the development of such real property.

(2) Developer owns the real property located in the City of Santa Monica, State of California, more particularly described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto.

(3) Developer filed an application for a Development Agreement pursuant to Santa Monica Municipal Code (“SMMC”) Section 9.48.020 with the City on May 13, 2003 (“Development Application”). The Development Application is for the planned development of a portion of the Property (“Project” or “Lantana East”). The Project is more fully described in the Development Application and in this Agreement. The Development Application was designated by the City as Application No. DEV 03-001. The Development Application includes the application by an affiliate of Developer (the “Affiliate”) for a development agreement for an adjacent property (“Lantana South”).

(4) To facilitate financing and development of the Property, Developer filed an application for a tentative parcel map (the “Parcel Map”) pursuant to SMMC Section 9.20.06 to create airspace parcels for the existing and future buildings and a common area lot which includes surface and subterranean parking, driveways and drive aisles, landscaping and hardscape and other common improvements. A copy of the Parcel Map is attached as Exhibit “B” hereto. The Parcel Map application was designated by the City as Tentative Parcel Map No. 060785.

(5) On November 12, 2002, the City Council certified Final Environmental Impact Report dated August, 2002 (the “EIR”), which considered the possible environmental impacts of a development that is larger and more intense than the Project.

The parties likewise desire to provide a land use on the Property consistent with the City’s General Plan and LMSD zoning and provide public services and urban infrastructure, all in the promotion of the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the City. The Project will be a vital part of the redevelopment of the LMSD zoning district and requires the assurances set forth in this Development Agreement with respect to the identification of specific development standards and requirements in order to accommodate the development of the Property.

(8) The City Council has determined that a development agreement is appropriate for the proposed development of the Property. This Agreement will (1) eliminate uncertainty in planning for, and securing orderly development of, the Project, (2) assure installation of necessary improvements, (3) provide for public infrastructure and services appropriate to development of the Project, (4) preserve City discretion in reviewing subsequent development of the Property, and (5) otherwise achieve the goals and purposes for which the Development Agreement Statutes were enacted.

(9) This Agreement is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare needs of the residents of the City and the surrounding region. The City has specifically considered and approved the impact and benefits of the development of the Property in accordance with this Agreement upon the welfare of the region. The Project will provide a number of public benefits, including new sidewalks, and financial contributions to provide childcare and the payment of a fee into a City fund for the arts.

(10) The City Council has found that the provisions of the Development Agreement are consistent with the relevant provisions of (1) City’s General Plan, and (2) Zoning Ordinance, including the standards of the LMSD zone.

(11) On ___________, 2004, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on Developer’s applications for the Development Agreement (Planning Application No. DEV 03-001), and the Parcel Map (Tentative Parcel Map No. 060785) certified the SEIR, and adopted Ordinance No. _____ approving this Agreement.

December 31, 2009 Developer shall obtain a certificate of occupancy for the Project.

2.6. Permitted Uses. Subject to Section 2.7 below, the City specifically approves the following primary uses: film and broadcast sets/studios, set construction facilities, concept development, sound studios, special effects studios, recording studios, editing facilities, film and media processing, and packaging and distribution facilities used for the production (making), reproduction and distribution of films, aural works, internet or web content, video game and software development, visual print, and other entertainment industry work and products; and post-production (e.g. editing, sound effects). The City also approves uses that are supportive and ancillary to a permitted use, including production management, marketing, promotion, licensing, acquisition, sales, leasing, financing, transmission facilities, catering offices and kitchens; parking for primary and ancillary uses; and such other uses as may be authorized by the City pursuant to Section 8.1 below. This Project may include up to 50% office and ancillary uses associated with primary permitted uses. General office uses that are not directly related to, or ancillary to a primary use of a building or suite, are prohibited.

2.7. Parking. All parking shall be provided and maintained in the Subterranean Parking Garages and surface parking of Parcel 1 as shown on the Project Plans and Exhibit “I”. Lantana Center (Lot B) is legal-nonconforming pertaining to parking since it was established with a lower parking standard that does not comply with current parking requirements. However, Lantana West (Lot A) and proposed Lantana East (Lot C) exceed current parking requirements. Because Lots A and C will provide more parking than required for the uses specified in Section 2.2 and Exhibit “I”, the amount of floor area occupied by uses with higher parking intensity, such as editing and production office uses, may be increased pursuant to SMMC 9.04.10.08.030(c)(1) and Section 2.5.2 provided that sufficient surplus parking spaces remain to provide the additional parking required for these higher intensity uses. Developer shall track and maintain a cumulative list of floor area used for each parking category and remaining surplus spaces, if any as tenant spaces are occupied. This cumulative use list and Exhibit “I” shall be submitted to the City when requesting a modification to allow higher intensity uses pursuant to Section 2.5.2 above, and the annual report pursuant to Section 10.1.1 below.

2.8. Setbacks. Developer shall maintain the setbacks for the Project as set forth on the Project Plans.

2.9. Signage. The location, size, materials and color of any signage shall be in accordance with the sign program approved by the ARB pursuant to procedures set forth in Article 6. All signs on the Property shall be subject to the Santa Monica Sign Code, a copy of which is included as Exhibit “J.”

2.10. Olympic Access; Relocation of Storm Drain, Sewer and Water Lines.

2.10.1. Olympic Access. In connection with the development of Lantana East, Developer shall modify the existing western and eastern access driveways to Olympic Boulevard

in accordance with Exhibit “L” Developer shall submit detail construction plans, execute a new or amended License Agreement and pay the additional fee and charges based on the additional driveway width at the rate in effect at the time application is made. Developer’s use and maintenance of the modified Olympic Boulevard access shall be governed by a License Agreement mutually agreeable to the parties.

2.10.2. Relocation of Storm Drain, Sewer and Water Lines. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the Project, Developer shall modify the existing easements, execute new easements, agreements, prepare detailed construction plans and specifications and construct new storm drain, sewer, and water lines to the satisfaction of the City Utilities Manager and City Engineer.

2.11. Parcel Map. The Parcel Map will create three (3) airspace lots within a single parcel of land (Parcel 1) in which the owners of the airspace lots will hold an undivided interest in the land that provides required access, parking, emergency egress and utilities to the airspace lots. The land area of Parcel 1 shall be used to determine compliance with development standards, including, but not limited to floor area ratio, setbacks, emergency access/egress and yards. The Parcel Map will result in airspace subdivision with required parking, access, emergency egress and utilities to both of the existing buildings and the proposed building (airspace Lots A, B and C) being provided within and across the land of Parcel 1. Consequently, the Developer shall record or cause to be recorded a covenant and reciprocal easement agreement in the form of Exhibit “O” attached hereto (the “CC&Rs”) to assure that sufficient parking, necessary access and utilities will at all times be provided for each building on the Property in accordance with this Development Agreement and all other applicable requirements. Parcel 1 and Lots A, B and C will become separate legal parcels following recordation of the final Parcel Map. Following such recordation, this Development Agreement shall only apply to Parcel 1 and Lot C and the City agrees to execute and record such documents or instruments as may be reasonably necessary to release Lots A and B from this Agreement and to substitute a revised legal description to this Agreement. The time period for finalizing the tentative Parcel Map shall be governed by the Subdivision Map Act and the City Subdivision Ordinance.

2.12. Landscaping. Developer shall install and maintain landscaping on the Property in substantial conformance with the approved landscaping plan included in the Project Plans.

2.13. Construction Parking. The City acknowledges the Property will be used for temporary staging of materials and equipment and parking exclusively for Lantana South during the construction of Lantana South in accordance with the Lantana South Construction Impact Mitigation Plan. During such time, Developer may provide tandem or offsite parking for the Project and Lantana Center and West. Such temporary uses shall cease on or before issuance of a certificate of occupancy for Lantana South.

4.4.2. City Cooperation. The City shall reasonably cooperate with Developer in connection with the Public Benefit Work to enable Developer to complete expeditiously such work.

4.4.3. Fee Waiver. The City shall waive all Applicable Permit Fees (as defined in Section 7.3.1(b) below) with respect to the Public Benefit Work.

ARTICLE 5 EFFECT OF AGREEMENT ON CITY LAWS AND REGULATIONS

5.1. Development Standards for the Property; Existing Regulations. The following development standards and restrictions set forth in this Section govern the use and development of the Project and shall constitute the Existing Regulations, except as otherwise provided herein.

5.1.1. Defined Terms.

5.1.1(a) For purposes of this Section 5, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

(1) “Existing Regulations” collectively means all of the following which are in force and effect as of the Effective Date: (i) the General Plan (including the LUCE); (ii) the City’s Zoning Ordinance (including the provisions of the LMSD zone), as amended; and (iii) any and all ordinances, rules, regulations, standards, specifications and official policies of the City governing, regulating or affecting the demolition, grading, design, development, building, construction, occupancy or use of buildings and improvements or any exactions therefore.

(2) “Subsequent Code Changes” collectively means all of the following which are adopted or approved subsequent to the Effective Date, whether such adoption or approval is by the City Council, any department, division, office, board, commission or other agency of the City, by the people of the City through charter amendment, referendum, initiative or other ballot measure, or by any other method or procedure: (i) any amendments, revisions, additions or deletions to the Existing Regulations, or (ii) new codes, ordinances, rules, regulations, standards, specifications and official policies of the City governing or affecting the grading, design, development, construction, occupancy or use of buildings or improvements or any exactions therefore or regulating wages or benefits. “Subsequent Code Changes” include, without limitation, any amendments, revisions or additions to the Existing Regulations imposing or requiring the payment of any fee, special assessment or tax.

36393-00002-1385886.15

11

Except as provided in Section 5.2, development of the buildings and improvements, including without limitation, the development standards for the demolition, grading, design, development, construction, occupancy or use of such buildings and improvements, and any exactions therefore, shall be governed by the Existing Regulations. Any provisions of the Existing Regulations inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of such inconsistencies and not further, are hereby deemed modified to that extent necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement. The Project shall be exempt from: (a) all discretionary acts or review by the City or any body or agency thereof, other than architectural review as expressly set forth in Section 6.1, it being understood that any subsequent review shall be ministerial; (b) the application of any subsequent local development, building or permit moratoria, development or building permit rationing systems or other restrictions on development (“Building Moratoria”) which would adversely affect the rate, timing, or phasing of construction of the Project, and (c) Subsequent Code Changes which are inconsistent with this Agreement.

5.2. Permitted Subsequent Code Changes.

5.2.1. This Agreement shall not prevent the City from applying the following Subsequent Code Changes to the development:

5.2.1(a) Processing fees and charges imposed by the City to cover the estimated actual costs to City or processing applications for development approvals, or monitoring compliance, and similar development fees and charges, provided that such fees and charges are uniformly imposed by the City at similar stages of project development on all similar applications and for all similar monitoring approvals. Such fees and charges include`, but are not limited to, (i) all application, permit, and processing fees incurred for the processing of this Agreement, any administrative approval of a Minor Modification, or any amendment of this Agreement in connection with a Major Modification; (ii) all building plan check and building inspection fees for work on the Property in effect at the time an application for a grading permit or building permit is applied for; (iii) the public works plan check fee and public works inspection fee for public improvements constructed and installed by Developer, for monitoring compliance with any development approvals, or for monitoring compliance with environmental impact mitigation measures; and (iv) those fees listed on Exhibit “D” attached hereto.

5.2.1(b) General or special taxes, including, but not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, parcel taxes, transient occupancy taxes, business taxes, which may be applied to the Property or to businesses occupying the Property, provided, however, that the tax is of general applicability City-wide and does not burden the Property disproportionately to other similar development within the City.

5.2.1(c) Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, documentation of findings, records, manner in which hearings are conducted, reports, recommendations, initiation of appeals, and any other matters of procedure; provided such regulations are uniformly imposed by the City on all matters, do not result in any

Page 16: Table of Contents Page - smgov.net€¦ · 14/07/2004  · Table of Contents Page 36393-00002-1385886.16 i +ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS.....2 1.1. “Agreement”.....3

36393-00002-1385886.15

12

unreasonable decision-making delays and do not affect the substantive findings established in this Agreement.

5.2.1(d) Regulations governing construction standards and specifications which are of general application that establish standards for the construction and installation of structures and associated improvements, including, without limitation, the City’s Building Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code and Fire Code; provided that such construction standards and specifications are applied on a City-wide basis and do not impair the Project approvals granted in this Agreement.

5.2.1(e) Any City regulations to which Developer has consented in writing.

5.2.1(f) Collection of such fees or exactions as are imposed and set by governmental entities not controlled by City but which are required to be collected by City.

5.2.1(g) Regulations which do not impair the rights and approvals granted to Developer hereunder. For the purposes of this Section 5.2.1(g), regulations which impair Developer’s rights or approvals include, but are not limited to, regulations which (i) materially increase the cost of the Project (except as provided in Section 5.2.1(a) and (b) above), or (ii) which would materially delay development of the Project.

5.2.2. This Agreement shall not be construed to prevent the City from applying new rules, regulations and policies in which circumstances as are specified in Government Code Section 65866.

5.2.3. In the event that state or federal laws or regulations, enacted after this Agreement is executed, prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state or federal laws or regulations; provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions impractical to enforce.

5.3. Incorporation of Development Standards. The development standards and procedures in Section 2 shall also govern the development of the Property and shall be part of the Existing Regulations.

5.4. Common Set of Existing Regulations. Prior to the Effective Date, City and Developer shall use reasonable efforts to identify, assemble and copy three identical sets of the Existing Regulations, for the City and Developer, so that if it becomes necessary in the future to refer to any of the Existing Regulations, there will be a common set of the Existing Regulations available to all parties.

Page 17: Table of Contents Page - smgov.net€¦ · 14/07/2004  · Table of Contents Page 36393-00002-1385886.16 i +ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS.....2 1.1. “Agreement”.....3

5.5. Conflicting Enactments. Except as provided in Section 5.2.1 above, any Subsequent Code Change which would conflict in any way with or be more restrictive than the Existing Regulations shall not be applied by City to any part of the Property. Developer may, in its sole discretion, give City written notice of its election to have any Subsequent Code Change applied to such portion of the Property as it may own, in which case such Subsequent Code Change shall be deemed to be an Existing Regulation insofar as that portion of the Property is concerned. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Existing Regulations, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

5.6. Timing of Development. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), that failure of the parties to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over the parties’ agreement, it is the intent of Developer and the City to cure that deficiency by expressly acknowledging and providing that no Subsequent Code Change that purports to limit the rate or timing of development over time or alter the sequencing of development phases, whether adopted or imposed by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the Property or prevail over this Agreement. In particular, but without limiting any of the foregoing, no numerical restriction shall be placed by City on the amount of square footage that can be built each year on the Property.

ARTICLE 6 ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW

6.1. Architectural Review Board Approval. Certain elements of the design review process have been incorporated in the review process of this Agreement and will be considered and approved by the City Council pursuant to this Agreement. Therefore, only the Project’s signage shall be subject to review and approval or conditional approval by the ARB in accordance with design review procedures in effect under the Existing Regulations. The ARB shall not review any features which are specifically approved by this Agreement or in the Project Plans. The ARB shall have no authority to disapprove or conditionally approve or otherwise adversely affect any features or matters which have been specifically approved by this Agreement or in the Project Plans (including height, intensity and setbacks or the structural design of the Project) unless expressly authorized to do so by this Agreement. Decisions of the ARB are appealable to the Planning Commission in accordance with the Existing Regulations.

ARTICLE 7 CITY TECHNICAL PERMITS

7.1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

7.1.1. “Technical City Permits” means any ministerial approvals, consents or permits from the City or any office, board, commission, department, division or agency of the City, which are necessary for the actual construction of the Project or any portion thereof in accordance with the Project Plans and this Agreement.

7.2. Diligent Action by City.

7.2.1. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3, the City shall accept the Technical Permit Applications filed by Developer with the City and shall diligently proceed to process such Technical Permit Applications to completion.

7.2.2. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3, the City shall diligently issue the Technical City Permits which are the subject of the Technical Permit Applications.

7.3. Conditions for Diligent Action By the City.

7.3.1. The obligation of the City to accept and diligently process the Technical Permit Applications which are filed by Developer in accordance with Section 7.2.1 is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

7.3.1(a) Developer shall have completed and filed all Technical Permit Applications which are required under the administrative procedures and policies of the City which are in effect on the date when the Technical Permit Application is filed, provided that such procedures and policies are uniformly in force and effect throughout the City.

7.3.1(b) Developer shall have paid all processing and permit fees established by the City in connection with the filing and processing of any Technical Permit Application which are in effect on the date when the Technical Permit Application is filed, provided that such fees are uniformly in force and effect throughout the City (“Applicable Permit Fees”).

7.3.1(c) With respect to signage only, Developer shall have obtained the approval of the ARB referred to in Section 6.1. above.

7.3.2. The obligation of the City to issue a Technical City Permit for a proposed building under Section 7.2.2 which is the subject of a Technical Permit Application filed by Developer is subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

7.3.2(a) Developer shall have complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement which are required to be performed prior to or concurrent with the issuance of the Technical City Permits for the proposed building.

Page 19: Table of Contents Page - smgov.net€¦ · 14/07/2004  · Table of Contents Page 36393-00002-1385886.16 i +ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS.....2 1.1. “Agreement”.....3

7.3.2(b) Developer shall have received any permits or approvals from other governmental agencies which are required by law to be issued prior to or concurrent with the issuance of the Technical City Permits for the proposed building.

7.3.2(c) The Project shall conform to the development standards established in this Agreement. In the event that the Project is not in conformance, Developer shall have the right to seek any relief from such standards under the procedures then available in the City.

7.3.2(d) The proposed building shall conform to the Administrative and Technical Construction Codes of the City (Article VIII, Chapter 1 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code) (“Technical Codes”) in effect on the date that the Technical Permit Application is issued.

7.3.3. From time to time, the City’s Technical Codes are amended to meet new technical requirements related to techniques of building and construction. If the sole means of achieving compliance for the Project with such revisions to the Technical Codes made after the Effective Date (“New Technical Requirements”) would require an increase from the allowable Building Height established in this Agreement for the Project, then the Planning Director is hereby authorized to grant Developer limited relief (up to five (5) feet) from the allowable Building Height without amending this Agreement. Any such approval shall be granted only after the Planning Director’s receipt of a written request for such relief from Developer. Developer is required to supply the Planning Director with written documentation of the fact that compliance with the New Technical Requirements cannot be achieved by some other method. Any such relief shall only be granted to the extent necessary in the Planning Director’s determination for Developer to comply with the New Technical Requirements.

7.4. Duration of Technical City Permits. The duration of Technical City Permits issued by the City in accordance with Section 7.2.2, and any extensions of such Technical City Permits, shall be established in accordance with the Technical Codes in effect at the time that the Technical City Permits are issued. Subject to vested rights time limit in Section 2.5.5, the lapse or expiration of a Technical City Permit shall not preclude or impair Developer from subsequently filing another such Technical Permit Application during the Term of this Agreement which shall be processed by the City in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7.

7.5. Separate Permit for Garage. The City acknowledges that Developer may construct the Subterranean Garage before it has completed construction drawings of the remainder of the Project. Provided that Developer complies with all applicable Existing Regulations (as amended by Subsequent Code Changes pursuant to Section 5.2 above) and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 7.3 above, the City shall issue a separate foundation-only building permit for the Subterranean Garage. Developer assumes any risk associated with constructing the Project in this manner, including the risk of changes in Technical Codes or inconsistencies between the foundation and superstructure.

ARTICLE 11 DEFAULT

11.1. Notice and Cure.

11.1.1. In the event of failure by either party hereto substantially to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement which is required on its part to be performed (“Default”), the non-defaulting party shall have those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, provided that such non-defaulting party has first sent a written notice of Default, in the manner required by Section 15.1, specifying the precise nature of the alleged Default (including references to pertinent Sections of this Agreement and the Existing Regulations or Subsequent Code Changes alleged to have been breached), and the manner in which the alleged Default may satisfactorily be cured (“Notice of Default”).

In the case of a non-monetary Default by either party, the alleged defaulting party shall promptly commence to cure the identified Default and shall complete the cure within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Default or provide evidence of Excusable Delay. The thirty (30) day cure period for a non-monetary Default shall be extended as is reasonably necessary to remedy such Default, provided

In the event of non-monetary Default by either party hereunder which remains uncured: (a) after expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods, and (b) in the case of a Default by Developer, after the expiration of Mortgagee’s Cure Period under Section 12.1.3(b) below (if a Mortgagee of Developer has delivered a Request for Notice to the City in accordance with Section 12.1.3(a)), the non-defaulting party shall have available any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or provided at law or in equity except as prohibited by this Agreement. All of said remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive of one another, and the exercise of any one or more of said remedies shall not constitute a waiver or election in respect to any other available remedy.

11.3.2. Due to the size, nature and scope of the Project and due to the fact that it will not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its condition as of the date of this Agreement once implementation of this Agreement has begun, Developer may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had for the use of the Property or portions of the Property. Developer has invested significant time and resources, performed extensive planning and processing of the Project, and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement. Consequently, the City and Developer acknowledge that monetary damages and remedies at law generally are inadequate and that specific performance is an appropriate remedy for the enforcement of this Agreement. Therefore, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the remedy of specific

performance shall be available to Developer under this Agreement in the event of a non-monetary Default by the City.

11.3.3. The City and Developer hereby stipulate that Developer shall be entitled to obtain relief in the form of a writ of mandate in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure Section 1085 or Section 1094.5, as appropriate, to remedy any non-monetary Default by the City of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 11.3.3, however, is intended to alter the evidentiary standard or the standard of review applicable to any action of, or approval by, the City pursuant to this Agreement or with respect to the Project.

11.3.4. Developer acknowledges that the City would not have entered into this Agreement if the City were to be liable in damages under or with respect to this Agreement or the application thereof. Consequently, and except for the payment of attorneys’ fees in accordance with Section 15.11 and court costs, the City shall not be liable in damages to Developer or to any Transferee, and Developer covenants on behalf of itself and its successors in interest not to sue for or claim any damages:

11.3.4(a) for any non-monetary Default of, or which arises out of, this Agreement;

11.3.4(b) for the taking, impairment or restriction of any right or interest conveyed or provided hereunder or pursuant hereto;

11.3.4(c) arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.

11.3.5. The City and Developer agree that the provisions of Section 11.3.4 do not apply if the City has unreasonably or maliciously disregarded the terms of this Agreement and further agree that the provisions of Section 11.3.4 do not limit the liability of the City, if any, for damages which: (a) are not for a non-monetary Default or which do not arise under this Agreement; (b) are not with respect to any right or interest conveyed or provided hereunder or pursuant hereto; or (c) do not arise out of or which are not connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application, interpretation, or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.

11.3.6. The City acknowledges that Developer would not have entered into this Agreement if Developer were to be liable in damages in connection with any non-monetary Default hereunder. Consequently, and except for the payment of attorney’s fees in accordance with Section 15.11 and court costs, Developer shall not be liable in damages to the City, and the City covenants not to sue for or claim any damages for:

11.3.6(a) any non-monetary Default of, or which arises out of, this Agreement; or

11.3.6(b) arising out of connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement (except in the case of a monetary default).

11.3.7. The City and Developer agree that the provisions of this Section 11.3.6 do not limit the liability of Developer, if any, for damages which (a) are not for a non-monetary Default, or which do not arise under this Agreement, (b) are not with respect to any right or interest conveyed or provided hereunder or pursuant hereto, or (c) do not arise out of or which are not connected with any dispute, controversy, or issue regarding the application, interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 11.3.7 do not limit any liability of Developer for work performed on public property or rights-of-way.

11.3.8. Except as provided herein, the provisions of this Section 11.3 shall not limit any other rights, remedies, or causes of action that either the City or Developer may have at law or equity.

11.4. Termination of Agreement by City.

11.4.1. In the event that (a) the City finds and determines pursuant to Section 10.1, on the basis of substantial evidence, that Developer has not been in good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (b) the City finds and determines that there has been a non-monetary Default by Developer of its obligations under this Agreement which has not been cured during the application notice cure periods under Sections 11.1.1 and 11.1.2, the City may commence proceedings to terminate or modify this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.4.

11.4.2. The procedures for termination or modification of this Agreement by the City for the grounds set forth in Section 11.4.1 are as follows:

11.4.2(a) The City shall provide a written notice to Developer (and to any Mortgagee of Developer which has delivered a Request for Notice to the City in accordance of Section 12.1.3(a)) of its intention to terminate or modify this Agreement unless Developer (or the Mortgagee) cures or corrects the acts or omissions that constitute the basis of such determinations by the City (“Hearing Notice”). The Hearing Notice shall be delivered by the City to Developer in accordance with Section 15.1 and shall contain the time and place of a public hearing to be held by the City Council on the determination of the City to proceed with termination or modification of this Agreement. The public hearing shall not be held earlier than: (i) thirty-one (31) days after delivery of the Hearing Notice to Developer, or (ii) if a Mortgagee has delivered a Request for Notice in accordance with Section 12.1.3(a), the day following the expiration of the Mortgagee Cure Period.

11.4.2(b) If, following the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council: (i) determines that Developer is in Default of its non-monetary obligations under this Agreement or has not been in good faith compliance with this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, as applicable, and (ii) further determines that Developer (or the Mortgagee, if

Page 25: Table of Contents Page - smgov.net€¦ · 14/07/2004  · Table of Contents Page 36393-00002-1385886.16 i +ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS.....2 1.1. “Agreement”.....3

36393-00002-1385886.15

21

applicable) has not cured the acts or omissions that constitute the basis of the determination under subsection (i) or if those acts or omissions could not be reasonably remedied prior to the public hearing, that Developer (or the Mortgagee) has not in good faith commenced to cure or correct such acts or omissions prior to the public hearing or is not diligently and continuously proceeding therewith to completion, the City Council may terminate or modify this Agreement. The City and Developer mutually acknowledge and agree that the City cannot unilaterally modify the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.4 and that any such modification requires the consent of Developer. In the event that Developer does not consent to a modification submitted by the City pursuant to this Section 11.4, the City Council may elect to terminate this Agreement.

11.5. Cessation of Rights and Obligations. If this Agreement is terminated on account of a Default, the rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereunder shall cease as of the date of such termination except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. If the City is the terminating party, then any and all benefits, including money received by the City, shall be retained by the City.

11.6. Completion of Improvements. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11.3 through 11.5, if prior to termination of this Agreement, Developer has performed substantial work and incurred substantial liabilities in good faith reliance upon a building permit issued by the City then Developer shall have acquired a vested right to: complete construction of the building in accordance with the terms of the building permit and occupy or use such building upon completion for the use(s) permitted for that building as delineated in Section 2.6 above. Any building completed or occupied pursuant to this Section shall be considered legal non-conforming subject to all City ordinances standards and policies as they then exist governing legal non-conforming buildings and uses unless the building otherwise complies with the property development standards for the district in which it is located and the use is otherwise permitted or conditionally permitted in the district.

ARTICLE 12 MORTGAGEES

12.1. Encumbrances on the Property. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit Developer, in any manner, at Developer’s sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device securing financing with respect to all or a portion of the Property (“Mortgage”). The City acknowledges that the lender(s) providing such financing may require certain Agreement interpretations and agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with Developer and representatives of such lender(s) to negotiate in good faith any such request for interpretation. The City will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requested interpretation provided such interpretation is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Any mortgagee of a mortgage or a beneficiary of a deed of trust (“Mortgagee”) on the Property shall be entitled to the rights and privileges set forth in this Article 12.

12.1.1. Mortgage Not Rendered Invalid. Except as provided in Section 12.1.2 below, neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render

Page 26: Table of Contents Page - smgov.net€¦ · 14/07/2004  · Table of Contents Page 36393-00002-1385886.16 i +ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS.....2 1.1. “Agreement”.....3

36393-00002-1385886.15

22

invalid, diminish, or impair the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Property made in good faith and for value.

12.1.2. Priority of Agreement. This Agreement shall be superior and senior to the lien of any Mortgage recorded on or after Effective Date. Any acquisition or acceptance of title or any right or interest in or with respect to the Property or any portion thereof by a Mortgagee (whether pursuant to foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, lease termination or otherwise) shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

12.1.3. Right of Mortgagee to Cure Default.

12.1.3(a) A Mortgagee may give notice to the City, specifying the name and address of such Mortgagee and attaching thereto a true and complete copy of the Mortgage held by such Mortgagee (“Request for Notice”). If the Request for Notice shall be given, at the same time the City sends such notice to Developer, the City shall send to such Mortgagee a copy of each Notice of Default or Hearing Notice from the City to Developer which relates to, affects, or potentially may adversely affect, the interest of Developer in the Property or portion thereof which serves as security for the Mortgage. The copy of the Notice of Default or Hearing Notice sent to the Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 12.1.3(a) shall be addressed to such Mortgagee at its address last furnished to the City. The period within which a Mortgagee may cure a particular Default shall not begin to run until the City has sent to the Mortgagee such copy of a Notice of Default or Hearing Notice.

12.1.3(b) The Mortgagee, after the copy of such Notice of Default or Hearing Notice has been given, shall thereupon have a period of: (a) ten (10) days in the case of any Default in the payment of money and (b) thirty (30) days in the case of any other Default, beyond the cure period afforded to Developer under this Agreement, for remedying the Default or causing the same to be remedied (“Mortgagee’s Cure Period”). If Developer shall be in Default hereunder, such Mortgagee shall have the right to remedy such Default, or cause the same to be remedied prior to the conclusion of the Mortgagee’s Cure Period and otherwise as herein provided. The City shall accept performance by any such Mortgagee of any covenant, condition, or agreement on Developer’s part to be performed hereunder with the same force and effect as though performed by Developer.

12.1.3(c) The period of time given to the Mortgagee to cure any Default by Developer which reasonably requires that said Mortgagee be in possession of the Property to do so, shall be deemed extended to include the period of time reasonably required by said Mortgagee to obtain such possession (by foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or otherwise) promptly and with due diligence, provided, however, that during such period all other obligations of Developer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, payment of all amounts due, are being duly and promptly performed.

23

12.1.4. Mortgagee Not Obligated Under Agreement.

12.1.4(a) No Mortgagee shall have any obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform the obligations of Developer’s or the affirmative covenants of Developer’s hereunder or to guarantee such performance unless and until such time as a Mortgagee takes possession or becomes the owner of the estate covered by its Mortgage, and then only for obligations arising or accruing during or with respect to the time a Mortgagee is in possession or is the owner under such estate.

12.1.4(b) Nothing in Section 12.1.4(a) is intended, nor should be construed or applied, to limit or restrict in any way the City’s authority to terminate this Agreement, as against any Mortgagee as well as against Developer if any curable Default hereunder (including, without limitation, any Default in the payment of any amount due) is not completely cured within the time period allowed in Section 12.1.3 for such cure.

ARTICLE 13 TRANSFERS AND ASSIGNMENTS

13.1. Transfers/Assignments.

13.1.1. Not Severable from Ownership Interest in Property. This Agreement shall not be severable from Developer’s interest in the Property and any transfer of the Property or any portion thereof shall automatically operate to transfer the benefits and burdens of this Agreement with respect to the Project site or transferred portions, as applicable.

13.1.2. Transfer Rights. Developer may, freely sell, transfer, exchange, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its interest in the Property, without the consent of the City. Developer shall, however, give written notice to the City, in accordance with Section 15.1, of any transfer hereunder, disclosing in such notice (a) the identity of the transferee of the Property (“Property Transferee”) and (b) the address of the Property Transferee as applicable.

13.2. Liabilities Upon Transfer. Upon the delegation of the duties and obligations under this Agreement and the sale, transfer or assignment of the Property, Developer will be released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Property, arising subsequent to the effective date of such transfer, if (a) Developer has provided to the City prior or subsequent written notice of such transfer and (b) the Property Transferee has agreed in writing to be subject to all of the provisions hereof applicable to the Property by executing an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit “M” attached hereto (the “Assumption Agreement”). Upon such transfer of the Property and the express assumption of Developer’s obligations under this Agreement by the Property Transferee, the City agrees to look solely to the Property Transferee for compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any Property Transferee shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement as “Developer” hereunder and shall be subject to the obligations of this Agreement. Failure to deliver a written Assumption Agreement hereunder shall not affect the transfer of the benefits and burdens as provided in Section 13.1, provided, however, that the transferor shall not be released from its

Page 28: Table of Contents Page - smgov.net€¦ · 14/07/2004  · Table of Contents Page 36393-00002-1385886.16 i +ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS.....2 1.1. “Agreement”.....3

obligation hereunder unless and until the executed Assumption Agreement is delivered to the City.

Developer’s obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless applies to all actions and omissions of Developer’s as described above caused or alleged to have been caused in connection with the Project or Agreement, except to the extent any Damages are caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. This Section 14.1.1 applies to all Damages suffered or alleged to have been suffered regardless of whether or not the City prepared, supplied or approved plans or specifications or both for the Project.

14.1.2. City’s Right to Defense. The City shall have the right to approve legal counsel retained by Developer to defend any claim, action or proceeding which Developer is obligated to defend pursuant to Section 14.1.1, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

15.5. No Partnership or Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership or joint venture between the City and Developer or to render either party liable in any manner for the debts or obligations of the other.

15.6. Estoppel Certificates. Either party may, at any time, and from time to time, deliver written notice to the other party requesting such party to certify in writing (the “Estoppel Certificate”): (a) that this Agreement is in full force and effect, (b) that this Agreement has not been amended or modified either orally or in writing, or if so amended, identifying the amendments, (c) whether or not, to the knowledge of the responding party, the requesting party is in Default or claimed Default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and, if so, describing the nature and amount of any such Default or claimed Default, and (d) whether or not, to the knowledge of the responding party, any event has occurred or failed to occur which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a Default and, if so, specifying each such event. A party receiving a request hereunder shall execute and return such Certificate within thirty (30) days following the receipt thereof. If the party receiving the request hereunder does not execute and return the certificate in such 30-day period and if circumstances are such that the party requesting the notice requires such notice as a matter of reasonable business necessity, the party requesting the notice may seek a second request which conspicuously states both “FAILURE TO EXECUTE THE REQUESTED ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATGE WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS SHALL BE DEEMED WAIVER PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 15.6 AND 15.13 OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS.” and which sets forth the business necessity for a timely response to the estoppel request. If the party receiving the request fails to execute the Estoppel Certificate within such 15-day period, it shall be conclusively deemed that the Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been amended or modified orally or in writing, and that there are no uncured defaults under this Agreement or any events which, with passage of time of giving of notice, of both, would constitute a default under the Agreement. The City manager shall have the right to execute any Estoppel Certificate requested by Developer under this Section 15.6. The City acknowledges that an Estoppel Certificate may be relied upon by any Property Transferee, Mortgagee or other party.

15.7. Time. Time is of the essence for each provision of this Agreement of which time is an element.

generation.

• During construction, a minimum 8 ft. high perimeter construction fencing with a mesh or screen material shall be installed to capture dust on site.

CON-2(b) Any construction equipment used on the site must meet the following conditions in order to reduce NOx emissions:

• The number of pieces of equipment operating simultaneously must be minimized through efficient management practices;·

• Construction equipment must be maintained in tune per manufacturer’s specifications;

• Equipment shall be equipped with 2 to 4-degree engine timing retard or precombustion chamber engines;

• Catalytic converters shall be installed; and Diesel-powered equipment such as booster pumps or generators should be replaced by electric equipment.

CON-3(a) All diesel equipment shall be operated with closed engine doors and shall be equipped with factory-recommended mufflers.

CON-3(b) Whenever feasible, electrical power shall be used to run air compressors and similar power tools.

CON-3(c) For all noise-generating construction activity on the project site, additional noise attenuation techniques shall be employed, as needed and feasible, to reduce noise levels to City of Santa Monica noise standards. Such techniques may include, but are not limited to, the use of sound blankets on noise generating equipment and the construction of temporary sound barriers, including walls or other sound attenuating features, between construction sites and nearby sensitive receptors.

CON-3(d) The applicant shall provide a telephone number for local residents to call to submit complaints associated with construction noise. The number shall be posted on both the Lantana East and Lantana South portions of the site and shall be easily viewed from adjacent public areas.

CON-4 The applicant shall submit a parking plan to City Planning staff for approval that designates area(s) off-site to accommodate up to 300 parking spaces for employees whose parking is displaced during construction. If the off-site location is more than 1,000 feet from the employee’s worksite, a shuttle shall be provided.

GEOLOGY

GEO-1 Design and construction of the buildings shall be engineered to withstand the expected ground acceleration that may occur at this site. The calculated design base ground motion for the site shall take into consideration the soil type, potential for liquefaction, and the most current and applicable seismic attenuation methods that are available. All on-site structures shall comply with applicable provisions of the Uniform Building Code and the California Building Code.

GEO-2 A geotechnical study shall be prepared for the project site, prior to site development. This report shall include an analysis of the liquefaction potential of the underlying materials. If the site is found to be prone to seismically-induced liquefaction, appropriate techniques to minimize liquefaction potential shall be prescribed and implemented. If found to be necessary, suitable measures to reduce liquefaction impacts could include, but are not limited to: (1) specialized design of foundations by a structural engineer; (2) removal or treatment of liquefiable soils to reduce the potential for liquefaction; (3) drainage to lower the groundwater table to below the level of liquefiable soils; (4) in-situ densification of soils; or (5) other alterations to the ground characteristics. All on-site structures shall comply with applicable methods of the Uniform Building Code and California Building Code.

GEO-3(a) The geotechnical study required in Measure GEO-2 shall include an evaluation of the potential for soil settlement beneath the site. Any recommended measures to minimize settlement potential shall be fully implemented in accordance with UBC requirements.

GEO-3(b) The geotechnical report shall include a means to control the quality of fill to be used below the building and parking areas. This quality control is to ensure that the fill material is of suitable quality to prevent subsidence.

GEO-4(a) The geotechnical study required in Measure GEO-2 shall include an evaluation of the potential for slope stability at the site. The information obtained shall be used to design the excavation and excavation shoring to prevent destabilization of the excavation sidewalls. Any recommendations contained in the geotechnical report shall be fully implemented.

GEO-4(b) If ground water is present, the parking lot design shall consider a mechanism of removing groundwater. Groundwater has been reported to be present at about thirty-five (35’) to 40 feet below grade. Because depth to groundwater varies seasonally, the need for a groundwater removal system (and its design, if necessary) shall consider historical ranges in depth to groundwater. The removal system, if required, shall be designed to prevent the parking garage from flooding.

GEO-4(c) If groundwater is to be pumped (during construction or long term), the proper discharge permits (such as a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System- NPDES permit) or sanitary sewer discharge permit must be obtained from the Regional Water Quality Control Board or the Sanitary District. If construction dewatering or a long-term dewatering system are

Page 48: Table of Contents Page - smgov.net€¦ · 14/07/2004  · Table of Contents Page 36393-00002-1385886.16 i +ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS.....2 1.1. “Agreement”.....3

E-5

to be installed, then the appropriate permits must be obtained, the permit conditions followed, and the groundwater removal system shall be maintained in good order to ensure its proper operation.

GEO-5(a) The ground floor should be constructed one foot above the projected inundation depth. The drainage system within the subterranean parking area shall be designed to accommodate anticipated flows.

RECREATION

REC-1 The Project shall pay a fee in the amount of $0.555 per square foot. The fee shall be adjusted for inflation by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) occurring between June, 2002 through the month in which payment is made. The CPI shall mean the index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim statistical area, as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. In-lieu of paying the total fee prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant/developer may pay at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total fee prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Project. The balance of the fee shall be due in equal annual installments with payment in full no later than three (3) years after the issuance of such Certificate of Occupancy. All payments are subject to adjustment for inflation as provided above. If the applicant or developer elects to pay the fee after the issuance of building permits as provided above, the fee shall be secured by execution of an irrevocable letter of credit or other form of security acceptable to the City in favor of the City for the full amount of the obligation. The letter of credit or other acceptable security shall be delivered to the City prior to the issuance of building permits for the development. The fee shall be deposited into a Parks Mitigation Fund to be used for the acquisition and development of new parks or for significant capital improvements which increase the recreational opportunities of existing parks in the vicinity of the Project site.

Construction of the Stewart Park improvements in accordance with the Lantana South Development Agreement, as set forth in Exhibit “M” of that agreement, shall satisfy this provision REC-1.

TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC

TC-1 Roadway Improvements. The applicant shall be required to implement the following physical and operational improvements to increase the capacity of the roadway system at the affected intersections. Final engineered plans and specifications for such improvements shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Transportation Engineer.

E-6

The first of Lantana East and Lantana South to receive a building permit shall be responsible for all of the following measures:

20th St. & Olympic Blvd. Providing protected left turn phasing at all approaches to the traffic signal at 20th Street and Olympic Boulevard would mitigate project impacts at this location. This mitigation would not require the acquisition of additional right-of-way or the loss of on-street parking. Implementation of this mitigation measure would necessitate the provision and installation of some combination of new striping, signage, controllers, controller cabinets, poles, mast arms, and signal heads.

Stewart Street and Colorado Avenue. Providing protected/permitted left turn phasing at the westbound approach to the traffic signal at Stewart Avenue and Colorado Avenue would mitigate project impacts at this location. This mitigation would not require the acquisition of additional right-of-way or the loss of on-street parking. Implementation of this mitigation measure would necessitate the provision and installation of some combination of new striping, signage, controllers, controller cabinets, poles, mast arms, and signal heads.

Centinela Avenue and Exposition Boulevard. A traffic signal at Exposition Boulevard and Centinela Avenue with an exclusive northbound left turn lane and protected left turn phasing would mitigate project impacts at this location. A signal warrant analysis has been conducted in order to confirm that signal control is justified. However, the majority of the intersection is owned and controlled by the City of Los Angeles, and the implementation of a traffic signal at this location is out of the control of the City of Santa Monica. The signalization of this intersection would require an additional left-turn lane at the northbound approach. Centinela Avenue has 36’ of roadway width at this location. The mitigation, requiring 3 12-foot lanes, could fit within this dimension, but on-street parking would need to be removed. While implementation of this improvement will require City of Los Angeles approval, this mitigation measure is considered feasible based on the above physical criteria. Implementation of this mitigation measure would necessitate the provision and installation of some combination of new striping, signage, controllers, controller cabinets, poles, mast arms, signal heads, pedestrian heads, curb and gutters, and safety lighting. Although mitigations at this intersection appear feasible, implementation is dependent on factors outside the City of Santa Monica’s and the applicant’s control. Accordingly, the applicant shall not be required to implement this measure unless it is approved by the City of Los Angeles. The applicant shall use its good faith reasonable efforts to obtain such approval, including filing a “B” permit application or other application plans, specifications and studies that provide sufficient information and details to enable the City of Los Angeles to evaluate implementing the Mitigation Measure. These applications shall be submitted prior to the issuance of building permits. If timely approved by the City of Los Angeles, such improvements shall be completed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Project.

Olympic Boulevard and Bundy Drive. The addition of a second left-turn lane for both the northbound and southbound approaches and a third northbound through lane would require lane and median reconfigurations to be implemented. The southbound six-foot wide median and an

Page 50: Table of Contents Page - smgov.net€¦ · 14/07/2004  · Table of Contents Page 36393-00002-1385886.16 i +ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS.....2 1.1. “Agreement”.....3

36393-00002-1385886.16

E-7

18-foot wide through lane at the eastern edge of the roadway would need to be reduced by 2 feet and 4 feet, respectively, to provide width for the additional southbound left turn lane. Approximately 6 feet of roadway would be required to implement this improvement. Assuming that an eight-foot right-of-way exists beyond the curb, no additional right-of-way would be necessary. To accommodate the northbound lanes, the southern leg of the intersection would need to be widened to accommodate one additional left turn lane and one additional through lane. The southwest and northeast curbs of the intersection would need to be relocated to accommodate the new alignment. Lanes would have to taper back to the current two-lane configuration at an appropriate distance from the intersection. To accommodate these improvements, the western curb (south of the intersection) and the eastern curb (north of the intersection) would need to be relocated, and the required improvements collectively would require acquisition of additional right-of-way. The City of Los Angeles has complete ownership of this intersection, and initial analysis of such an improvement by the City of Los Angeles indicates that this improvement is feasible. The final outcome of this recommended improvement is outside of the control of the City of Santa Monica. Accordingly, the applicant shall not be required to implement this measure unless it is approved by the City of Los Angeles. The applicant shall use its good faith reasonable efforts to obtain such approval, including filing a “B” permit application or other application plans, specifications and studies that provide sufficient information and details to enable the City of Los Angeles to evaluate implementing the Mitigation Measure These applications shall be submitted prior to the issuance of building permits. Implementation of this mitigation measure would necessitate the provision and installation of some combination of new striping, signage, controller cabinets, poles, mast arms, signal heads, pedestrian heads, curb and gutters, and safety lighting. If timely approved by the City of Los Angeles, such improvements shall be completed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Project.

TC-2(a) Attendants shall be required to be on-site during the operational hours of the project to ensure that the tandem spaces provided are used optimally.

TC-2(b) Tenants of Lantana South and East shall provide free on-site parking to their employees. The City Transportation Planning Manager may modify this requirement if a Preferential Parking Zone that prevents employees and visitors from parking on residential streets is fully implemented in the residential neighborhood south of the project.

TC-2(c) Car/van pool and bicycle parking shall be located close to building entrances and elevators to achieve vehicle trip/vehicle mile reduction goals. Secure bicycle parking shall be provided.

The Project shall be solely responsible for the following measure:

TC-3(a) The Lantana East parking structure design shall include stop-sign controls at the driveway and be designed to City standards. To ensure efficient access in and out of the at-grade parking spaces and the below-grade parking structure.
