referred to hereinafter as "the site" or "the Project ".

terms "City" and "Developer" are used herein, such terms shall
include every successive successor in interest thereto, except
that the term "Developer" shall not include the purchaser or
transferee of any lot within the Project that has been fully
developed in accordance with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement.
3.1. Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every person who
acquires any right, title or interest in or to any

purposes that are
forth in the Project
5.1. Timing of Development. In Pardee Construction Co. v.
City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), the California
Supreme Court held that the failure of the parties
therein to provide for the timing or rate of
development resulted in a later - adopted initiative
restricting the rate of development to prevail against
the parties' agreement. City and Developer intend to
avoid the result in Pardee by acknowledging and
providing that Developer shall have the right, without
obligation, to develop the Property in such order and
at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate
within the exercise of its subjective business
judgment.
West Pointe Dev Agr 2001 #4
In furtherance of the Parties intent, as set forth in
this section, no future amendment of any existing City
ordinance or resolution, or future adoption of any
ordinance, resolution or other action, 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 provided the Property is developed in
accordance with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement. Nothing in this section shall be construed
-5-
00039
to limit City's right to insure that Developer timely
provides all infrastructure required by the Project
Approvals, Subsequent Approvals, and this Agreement.
5.2. Amendment of Project Approvals. No amendment of any of
the Project Approvals, whether adopted or approved by
the City Council or through the initiative or
referendum process, shall apply to any portion of the
Property, unless the Developer has agreed in writing to
the amendment.
5.3. Issuance of Subsequent Approvals. Applications for
land use approvals, entitlements and permits, including
without limitation subdivision maps (e.g. tentative,
vesting tentative, parcel, vesting parcel, and final
maps), subdivision improvement agreements and other
agreements relating to the Project, lot line
adjustments, preliminary and final planned development
permits, use permits, design review approvals (e.g.
site plans, architectural plans and landscaping plans),
encroachment permits, and sewer and water connections
that are necessary to or desirable for the development
of the Project (collectively "the Subsequent
Approvals "; individually "a Subsequent Approval ") shall
be consistent with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Subsequent
Approvals do not include building permits.
Subsequent Approvals shall be governed by the Project
Approvals and by the applicable provisions of the
Moorpark General Plan, the Moorpark Municipal Code and
other City ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations,
policies, standards and requirements as most recently
adopted or approved by the City Council or through the
initiative or referendum process and in effect at the
time that the application for the Subsequent Approval
is deemed complete by City (collectively "City Laws "),
except City Laws that:
(a) change any permitted or conditionally permitted
uses of the Property from what is allowed by the
Project Approvals;
(b) limit or reduce the density or intensity of the
Project, or any part thereof, or otherwise require any
reduction in the number of proposed buildings or other
improvements from what is allowed by the Project
Approvals.

0003,01-1410
(c) limit or control the rate, timing, phasing or
sequencing of the approval, development or construction
of all or any part of the Project in any manner,
provided that all infrastructure required by the
Project Approvals to serve the portion of the Property
covered by the Subsequent Approval is in place or is
scheduled to be in place prior to completion of
construction;
(d) are not uniformly applied on a City -wide basis to
all substantially similar types of development projects
or to all properties with similar land use
designations;
(e) control residential rents;
(f) prohibit or regulate development on slopes with
grades greater than 20 percent, including without
limitation Moorpark Municipal Code Chapter 17.38 or any
successor thereto, within the Property; or
(g) modify the land use from what is permitted by the
City's General Plan Land Use Element at the operative
date of this Agreement or that prohibits or restricts
the establishment or expansion of urban services
including but not limited to community sewer systems to
the Project.
5.4. Term of Subsequent Approvals. The term of any tentative
map for the Property, or any portion thereof, shall
expire ten (10) years after its approval or conditional
approval or upon the expiration or earlier termination
of this Agreement, whichever occurs first,
notwithstanding the provisions of Government Code
Section 66452.6(a) or the fact that the final map may
be filed in phases. Developer hereby waives any right
that it may have under the Subdivision Map Act,
Government Code section 66410 et seq., or any successor
thereto, to apply for an extension of the time at which
the tentative map expires pursuant to this subsection.
No portion of the Property for which a final map or
parcel map has been recorded shall be reverted to
acreage at the initiative of City during the term of
this Agreement.

that the term may be extended by the decision maker for
two (2) additional one (1) year periods upon
application of the Developer holding the Subsequent
Approval filed with City's Department of Community
Development prior to the expiration of that Approval.
Each such Subsequent Approval shall be deemed
inaugurated, and no extension shall be necessary, if a
building permit was issued and the foundation received
final inspection by City's Building Inspector prior to
the expiration of that Approval.
It is understood by City and Developer that certain
Subsequent Approvals may not remain valid for the term
of this Agreement. Accordingly, throughout the term of
this Agreement, any Developer shall have the right, at
its election, to apply for a new permit to replace a
permit that has expired or is about to expire.
5.5. Modification Of Approvals. Throughout the term of this
Agreement, Developer shall have the right, at its
election and without risk to any right that is vested
in it pursuant to this section, to apply to City for
modifications to Project Approvals and Subsequent
Approvals. The approval or conditional approval of any
such modification shall not require an amendment to
this Agreement, provided that, in addition to any other
findings that may be required in order to approve or
conditionally approve the modification, a finding is
made that the modification is consistent with this
Agreement.
5.6. Issuance of Building Permits. No building permit,
final inspection or certificate of occupancy will be
unreasonably withheld from Developer if all
infrastructure required by the Project Approvals,
Subsequent Approvals, and this Agreement to serve the
portion of the Property covered by the building permit
is in place or is scheduled to be in place prior to
completion of construction and all of the other
relevant provisions of the Project Approvals,
Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement have been
satisfied. Consistent with Subsection 5.1 of this

allocated on any annual numerical basis or on any
arbitrary allocation basis.

and on the finalizing of building permits by means of
a final inspection or certificate of occupancy,
provided that the moratorium is adopted or imposed (i)
on a City -wide basis to all substantially similar types
of development projects and properties with similar
land use designations and (ii) as a result of a utility
shortage or a reasonably foreseeable utility shortage,
including without limitation a shortage of water, sewer

the Project Approvals, (iii) all Subsequent Approvals

be free and clear of liens and encumbrances other than
easements or restrictions that do not preclude or

intended purpose, as reasonably determined by City.
6.3. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for
each residential or institutional use within the
boundaries of the Property, Developer shall pay City a

($7,850.00) per residential unit and Thirty -Five
Thousand, Three Hundred Twenty -Five Dollars
($35,325.00) per gross acre of institutional land on
which the use is located. The fee shall be adjusted
annually commencing one (1) year after the first
residential building permit is issued within Tract

U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
West Pointe Dev Agr 2001 #4
®90363
for all urban consumers within the Los
Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan area during the
prior year. The calculation shall be made using the
month which is four (4) months prior to the month in
which the first residential building permit is issued
within Tract 5187 (e.g., if the permit issuance occurs
in October, then the month of June is used to calculate
the increase). In the event there is a decrease in the
referenced Index for any annual indexing, the
Development Fee shall remain at its then current amount

which results in an increase.
6.4. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for
each residential or institutional use within the
boundaries of the Property, Developer shall pay City a
traffic mitigation fee as described herein ( "Citywide
Traffic Fee "). The Citywide Traffic Fee may be

On the operative date of this Agreement, the amount of
the Citywide Traffic Fee shall be Four Thousand Two
Hundred Forty Dollars ($4,240.00) per residential unit,
and Nineteen Thousand Eighty Dollars ($19,080.00) per
acre of institutional land on which the institutional
use is located. Commencing on January 1, 2003, and
annually thereafter, both categories of the Citywide
Traffic Fee shall be increased to reflect the change in
the State Highway Bid Price Index for the twelve (12)
month period that is reported in the latest issue of
the Engineering News Record that is available on
December 31 of the preceding year ( "annual indexing ").
In the event there is a decrease in the referenced
Index for any annual indexing, the Citywide Traffic Fee
shall remain at its then current amount until such time
as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in
an increase.
6.5. As a condition of issuance of a building permit for
each residential or institutional use within the
boundaries of the Property, Developer shall pay City a
community services fee as described herein (Community
Services Fee) . The Community Services Fee may be
expended by City in its sole and unfettered discretion.
The amount of the Community Services Fee shall be Two
Thousand Thirty Dollars ($2,030.00) per residential
unit, and Six Thousand Four Hundred Twenty -Eight
Dollars ($6,428.00) per gross acre of institutional
land on which the institutional use is located. This
West Pointe Dev Agr 2001 #4
-10-

shall satisfy Developer's Casey Road /Gabbert Road Area
of Contribution (AOC) obligation for the Property. The
City may use these monies for any purpose related to
the Casey Road /Gabbert Road AOC or any other lawful
purpose at its sole and unfettered discretion. City
agrees to accept these payments as full satisfaction of
Developer's obligation to pay Casey Road /Gabbert Road
AOC fees. Commencing on March 1, 2005, and annually
thereafter, the Community Services Fee shall be
adjusted by any increase in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) until all In Lieu Fees have been paid. The CPI
increase shall be determined by using the information
provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the
Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan area during
the prior year. The calculation shall be made using
the month of December over the prior month of December.
In the event there is a decrease in the CPI for any
annual indexing, the In Lieu Fee shall remain at its
then current amount until such time as the next
subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.
6.6. On the operative date of this Agreement, Developer
shall pay all outstanding City processing costs related
to preparation of this Agreement, Project Approvals,
and EIR.
6.7. Prior to the issuance of the building permit for each
residential dwelling unit within the Property,
Developer shall pay a fee in lieu of the dedication of
parkland and related improvements (Park Fee). On the
operative date of this Agreement, the amount of the
Park Fee shall be Nine Thousand Dollars ($9,000.00) for
each residential dwelling unit and Fifty Cents ($.50)
per square foot of each building used for institutional
purposes within the Property. The fee shall be
adjusted annually commencing one (1) year after the
first residential building permit is issued within
Tract 5187 by any increase in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) until all fees have been paid. The CPI increase
shall be determined by using the information provided
by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los
Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan area during the
prior year. The calculation shall be made using the
month which is four (4) months prior to the month in
which the first residential building permit is issued
West Pointe Dev Agr 2001 #4
-11-
000 ,325
within Tract 5187 (e.g., if the permit issuance occurs
in October, then the month of June is used to calculate
the increase). In the event there is a decrease in the
referenced Index for any annual indexing, the Park Fee
shall remain at its then current amount until such time
as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in
an increase.
Developer agrees that the above - described payments
shall be deemed to satisfy the parkland dedication
requirement set forth at California Government Code
Section 66477 et se . for the Property.
6.8. Provided that prior to recordation of the first final
map for Tract 5187 or March 31, 2003, whichever is
later, Ventura County Waterworks District No. 1 or any
successor entity confirms that it has sufficient
recycled water to serve the public and community owned
landscaped areas within Tract 5187, then Developer
shall construct appropriately sized water lines,
pumping facilities, and storage facilities for recycled
water consistent with the requirements of the City,
Waterworks District No. 1 and Calleguas Water District.
Said lines shall be installed prior to the final cap
being placed on all streets. Developer shall provide
service including payment of any connection and meter
charges and shall use recycled water for medians and
parkways for all public streets, and any other public
and commonly owned landscaping and recreation areas.
The amount of recycled water needed and areas to be
irrigated by recycled water shall be determined by City
at its sole discretion. The recycled water line(s)
shall be installed for each City approved phase of
development and the recycled water shall be in use
prior to the first occupancy approval for each City
approved phase of development if such recycled water is
available within one -half mile of the Property.
Developer shall install dual water meters and services
for all locations determined necessary by City at its
sole discretion to insure that both potable and
recycled water are available where restroom and
drinking fountains are planned.

West Pointe Dev Agr 2001 #4
Tract 5187. This amount shall be adjusted on March 1,
2005, by any increase in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) and annually thereafter on each March 1. The
CPI increase shall be determined by using the
information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers
within the Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan
area during the prior year. The calculation shall be
made using the month of December over the prior month
of December. In the event there is a decrease in the
CPI for any annual indexing, the amount due shall
remain at its then current amount until such time as
the next subsequent annual indexing which results in
an increase.
In the event less than twenty (20) units are approved
on the Affordable Housing Parcel, the first such unit
deducted from the required number of units shall be a
moderate income unit, the second such unit a low
income unit, the third unit a very low income unit and

In the event Developer does not receive City approval
for at least 16 dwelling units on an Affordable
Housing Parcel prior to March 1, 2005, City at it's
sole discretion can require payment in the amount of
Two Million Six Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars
$2,625,000.00 payable prior to approval of the first

At City's sole discretion, two of the lots intended
for either low or very low income buyers on the
Affordable Housing Parcel may be retained by the City

conjunction with a non - profit group.
The initial purchase price for the low - income buyers
shall not exceed affordable housing cost, as defined
in Sec. 50052.5(b) (2) of California Health and Safety
Code. For a family of 4, the monthly "affordable
housing cost" would be 30% times 70% of $71,800, the
current median income for a family of 4 in Ventura
County, divided by 12. This monthly amount includes
the components identified in Section 6920 of Title 25
of the California Code of Regulations shown below.
(See Section 50052.5(c) of the Health and Safety

That initial purchase price for a very low - income
household of five or more would be based on the
affordable housing cost for the actual household size.
Under current market conditions, that price would be
$99,500 for a household of five, $109,000 for a
household of six, and $118,500 for a household of
seven.
The assumptions associated with the above purchase
price figures include a minimum of 5% down payment,
based on buyer's purchase price, mortgage interest
rate of 7.5 %, no mortgage insurance, property tax rate
of 1.25 %, homeowners' association dues of $50 per
month, fire insurance of $40 per month, maintenance
costs of $40 per month, and utilities of $100 per
month.
The initial purchase price for a moderate income
household of four shall not exceed Two Hundred Forty
Thousand Dollars ($240,000.00). The initial purchase
price for all three categories of buyers shall be
adjusted based on then current interest rates, then
applicable income calculations and other pertinent
factors as contained in the Affordable Housing
Implementation and Resale Restriction Plan.
If "affordable housing cost ", as defined in Section
50052.5 of California Health and Safety Code, should
change in the future, the above guidelines will be
modified. The Affordable Housing Implementation and
Resale Restriction Plan shall address this potential
change.
The difference between the initial purchase price and
market value shall be retained by the City as a second
deed of trust and will be further defined in the
Affordable Housing Implementation and Resale
Restriction Plan. City shall control the resale of any
of the units.
Developer shall pay closing costs for each unit, not
to exceed $5,000. Beginning March 1, 2005, and on
March 1st for each of fifteen subsequent years, the
maximum $5,000 to be paid for closing costs shall be
increased annually by any percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for
Los Angeles /Orange /Riverside metropolitan area during
-19-
000333
the prior year. The calculation shall be made using
the month of December over the prior month of
December. In the event there is a decrease in the CPI
for any annual indexing, the amount due shall remain
at its then current amount until such time as the next
subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.
In addition, in lieu of constructing ten (10) low
income and five (5) very low income affordable housing
units, for each of the two hundred fifty dwelling
units in the project, developer shall pay to City an
In Lieu Fee which shall be used by the City at its
sole discretion for the purpose of providing housing
affordable to very low, low or moderate income
households. The In Lieu Fee in the amount of Three
Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($3,400.00) shall be
paid prior to issuance of the building permit for each
dwelling unit in the Project. Commencing on March 1,
2005 and annually thereafter, the In Lieu Fee shall be
adjusted by any increase in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) until all In Lieu Fees have been paid. The CPI
increase shall be determined by using the information
provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the
Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan area during
the prior year. The calculation shall be made using
the month of December over the prior month of
December. In the event there is a decrease in the CPI
for any annual indexing, the In Lieu Fee shall remain
at its then current amount until such time as the next
subsequent annual indexing which results in an

The initial purchase price, market value, buyer
eligibility, resale restrictions, equity share and

and Developer, and any other items determined
necessary by the City shall be set forth in the
Affordable Housing Implementation and Resale
Restriction Plan, which shall be approved by the City
Council in its sole and unfettered discretion prior to

approval of the Tentative Tract Map required in
subsection 6.11, or March 1, 2007, whichever occurs
first, and then annually thereafter until paid, with
said increase to be consistent with the provisions of
this Agreement as it applies to each of these fees.
8. Supersession of Agreement by Change of Law. In the event that
any state or federal law or regulation enacted after the date
the Enabling Ordinance was adopted by the City Council
prevents or precludes compliance with any provision of the
Agreement, such provision shall be deemed modified or
suspended to comply with such state or federal law or
regulation, as reasonably determined necessary by City.
9. Demonstration of Good Faith Compliance. In order to ascertain
compliance by Developer with the provisions of this Agreement,
the Agreement shall be reviewed annually in accordance with
Moorpark Municipal Code Chapter 15.40. of City or any
successor thereof then in effect. The failure of City to
conduct any such annual review shall not, in any manner,
constitute a breach of this Agreement by City, diminish,
impede, or abrogate the obligations of Developer hereunder or
render this Agreement invalid or void. At the same time as
the referenced annual review, City shall also review
Developer's compliance with the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (MMRP).
10. Authorized Delays. Performance by any Party of its
obligations hereunder, other than payment of fees, shall be
excused during any period of "Excusable Delay ", as hereinafter

after the same has been ascertained. For purposes hereof,
Excusable Delay shall mean delay that directly affects, and is
beyond the reasonable control of, the Party claiming the
delay, including without limitation: (a) act of God; (b) civil
commotion; (c) riot; (d) strike, picketing or other labor
dispute; (e) shortage of materials or supplies; (e) damage to
work in progress by reason of fire, flood, earthquake or other
casualty; (f) failure, delay or inability of City to provide
adequate levels of public services, facilities or
infrastructure to the Property including, by way of example
only, the lack of water to serve any portion of the Property
due to drought; (g) delay caused by a restriction imposed or
mandated by a governmental entity other than City; or (h)
litigation brought by a third party attacking the validity of
this Agreement, a Project Approval, a Subsequent Approval or

11. Default Provisions.
11.1. Default by Developer. The Developer shall be deemed to
have breached this Agreement if it:
(a) practices, or attempts to practice, any fraud or
deceit upon City; or willfully violates any order,
ruling or decision of any regulatory or judicial
body having jurisdiction over the Property or the
Project, provided that Developer may contest any
such order, ruling or decision by appropriate
proceedings conducted in good faith, in which
event no breach of this Agreement shall be deemed
to have occurred unless and until there is a final
adjudication adverse to Developer; or
(b) fails to make any payments required under this
Agreement; or
(c) materially breaches any of the provisions of the
Agreement and the same is not cured within the
time set forth in a written notice of violation
from City to Developer, which period of time shall
not be less than ten (10) days from the date that
the notice is deemed received, provided if
Developer cannot reasonably cure the breach within
the time set forth in the notice, Developer fails
to commence to cure the breach within such time
limit and diligently effect such cure thereafter.
11.2. Default by City. City shall be deemed in breach of
this Agreement if it materially breaches any of the
provisions of the Agreement and the same is not cured
within the time set forth in a written notice of
violation from Developer to City, which period shall
not be less than ten (10) days from the date the notice
is deemed received, provided if City cannot reasonably
cure the breach within the time set forth in the
notice, City fails to commence to cure the breach
within such time limit and diligently effect such cure
thereafter.
11.3. Content of Notice of violation. Every notice of
violation shall state with specificity that it is given
pursuant to this section of the Agreement, the nature
of the alleged breach, and the manner in which the
breach may be satisfactorily cured. The notice shall
West Pointe Dev Agr 2001 #4 —2 9 —
000343
be deemed given on the date that it is personally
delivered or on the date that it is deposited in the
United States mail, in accordance with Section 20
hereof.
11.4. Remedies for Breach. The Parties acknowledge that
remedies at law, including without limitation money
damages, would be inadequate for breach of this
Agreement by any Party due to the size, nature and
scope of the Project. The Parties also acknowledge
that it would not be feasible or possible to restore
the Property to its natural condition once
implementation of the Agreement has begun. Therefore,
the Parties agree that the remedies for breach of the
Agreement shall be limited to the remedies expressly
set forth in this subsection.
The remedies for breach of the Agreement by City shall
be injunctive relief and /or specific performance.
The remedies for breach of the Agreement by Developer
shall be injunctive relief and /or specific performance.

6.11, 6.12, 6.13, 6.15, 6.16, 6.17, 6.19, 6.20, or
subsection 6.21 of this Agreement, City shall have the
right to withhold the issuance of building permits to
Developer throughout the Project from the date that the
notice of violation was given pursuant to subsection
11.2 hereof until the date that the breach is cured as
provided in the notice of violation.
Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to preclude
City from prosecuting a criminal action against any
Developer who violates any City ordinance or state
statute.
12. Mortgage Protection. At the same time that City gives notice
to Developer of a breach, City shall send a copy of the notice
to each holder of record of any deed of trust on the portion
of the Property in which Developer has a legal interest
( "Financier "), provided that the Financier has given prior
written notice of its name and mailing address to City and the
notice makes specific reference to this section. The copies
shall be sent by United States mail, registered or certified,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed
received upon the third (3rd) day after deposit.
West Pointe Dev Agr 2001 44
-30-
000,344
Each Financier that has given prior notice to City pursuant to
this section shall have the right, at its option and insofar
as the rights of City are concerned, to cure any such breach
within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the notice from
City. If such breach cannot be cured within such time period,
the Financier shall have such additional period as may be
reasonably required to cure the same, provided that the
Financier gives notice to City of its intention to cure and
commences the cure within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
the notice from City and thereafter diligently prosecutes the
same to completion. City shall not commence legal action
against Developer by reason of Developer's breach without
allowing the Financier to cure the same as specified herein.
Notwithstanding any cure by Financier, this Agreement shall be
binding and effective against the Financier and every owner of
the Property, or part thereof, whose title thereto is acquired
by foreclosure, trustee sale or otherwise.
13. Estoppel Certificate. At any time and from time to time,
Developer may deliver written notice to City and City may
deliver written notice to Developer requesting that such Party
certify in writing that, to the knowledge of the certifying
Party, (i) this Agreement is in full force and effect and a
binding obligation of the Parties, (ii) this Agreement has not

and (iii) the requesting Party is not in breach of this
Agreement, or if in breach, a description of each such breach.
The Party receiving such a request shall execute and return
the certificate within thirty (30) days following receipt of
the notice. City acknowledges that a certificate may be
relied upon by successors in interest to the Developer who
requested the certificate and by holders of record of deeds of
trust on the portion of the Property in which that Developer
has a legal interest.
14. Administration of Agreement. Any decision by City staff
concerning the interpretation and administration of this
Agreement and development of the Property in accordance
herewith may be appealed by the Developer to the City Council,
provided that any such appeal shall be filed with the City
Clerk of City within ten (10) days after the affected
Developer receives notice of the staff decision. The City
Council shall render its decision to affirm, reverse or modify
the staff decision within thirty (30) days after the appeal
was filed. The Developer shall not seek judicial review of
any staff decision without first having exhausted its remedies
