City and Developer are referred to hereinafter individually as "Party” and collectively as "Parties." In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this First Amendment to the Agreement, City and Developer agree as follows: 1.Recitals. This First Amendment is made with respect to the following facts and for the following purposes, each of which is acknowledged as true and correct by the Parties: a. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65864 et seq. and Moorpark Municipal Code chapter 15.40, City is authorized to enter into a binding contractual agreement with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property within its boundaries for the development of such property in order to establish certainty in the development process. b.Developer is the owner of real property within the City, more specifically described in Exhibit “A” attached to the original Development Agreement (referred to hereinafter as the “Property”). c.Prior to, and in connection with approval of the Agreement, the City Council reviewed the project to be developed pursuant to the Agreement as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The City Council found that the Negative Declaration (“ND”) adopted by Resolution No 2020-3887 to be applicable to the Agreement and that no changes or new information within the scope of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 required the preparation of a new or subsequent environmental document in connection with the approval of the Agreement. d.Prior to approval of the Agreement, the City had approved General Plan Amendment No. 2014-01 (“GPA 2014-01”), Zone Change No. 2014-01 (“ZC 2014-01”), and Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2014-02 (“RPD 2014-02”), including all subsequently approved modifications and permit adjustments to RPD 2014-02 and all amendments thereto (collectively “the Project Approvals”; individually “a Project Approval”) to provide for the development of the Property with a 69-unit multi-family residential condominium complex 233 Ordinance No. 491 Page 6 and the construction of certain off-site improvements in connection therewith (“the Project”). e. Thereafter, the City Council approved the Agreement with respect to the Property on March 4, 2020, and the Agreement was executed and then recorded on March 18, 2020 by Instrument No. 20200318- 00040037-0. f. Following approval of the Project on March 4, 2020, Developer amended the number of buildable units onsite to comply with the California Building Code’s minimum requirements for garage dimensions of 20’ x 20’. As approved by the City Council, the Project included garages that did not comply with the minimum requirements of the California Building Code. Further, additional site area was needed for drainage purposes than was reflected in the approved site plan. Pursuant to the conditions of approval imposed on the Project and agreed to under the Agreement, Developer is required to comply with all Building Codes in place at the time of Project approval. In order to comply with the Building Codes’ garage dimensions and drainage requirements, the total number of approved units has been reduced from 69 to 63. g. In consideration of the decrease in the number of approved units to be included in the Project, the City has agreed to proportionally reduce the number of affordable units required to reflect the same affordable set aside of fifteen percent (15%) of total units as originally agreed to in the Agreement. h. Developer has sought relief from Standard Condition of Approval No. 145 which requires the Owner to underground all existing and proposed utilities based on plans approved by the City, including electrical transmission lines less than 67Kv prior to issuance of the Project’s first building permit. Relief is sought due to the complex work required to underground the specific high voltage transmission lines which carry electricity from the Moorpark substation owned by Southern California Edison and which are uniquely different than other overhead utilities, including other overhead utilities along Los Angeles Avenue. Undergrounding the transmission lines fronting the Project site on Los Angeles Avenue would cause a potential delay to the Project of approximately two and a half years. This is because undergrounding these transmission lines would require additional poles to be removed in front of other property and engineered steel poles to be constructed on either end of the undergrounding, along with vaults installed at both ends. At this time, the adjacent properties have not undergrounded the high voltage transmission lines fronting their properties. 234 Ordinance No. 491 Page 7 i. The City has agreed to waive Standard Condition of Approval No. 145 solely as applied to the high-voltage transmission lines front Los Angeles Avenue due to the unique circumstances of the Project and those transmission lines. In consideration for waiving the high voltage transmission line undergrounding requirement associated with Standard Condition of Approval No. 145, Applicant has agreed to pay the City a fee in lieu of the undergrounding equal to $210,000 to be applied toward future project costs for undergrounding overhead utilities. The City will modify other mitigation fees required by the Agreement in order to render the in-lieu fee cost neutral for the Applicant. j. In order for Developer to construct the Project, as well as to provide the housing opportunities for residents and to assist in advancing the City’s state-certified Housing Element, the Parties desire to amend the Agreement to an in-lieu fee for the future undergrounding of the 66 KV power lines along the project frontage and reduce the number of affordable units required due to a reduction in the overall units to be constructed within the project. k. On July 27, 2021the Planning Commission of the City commenced a duly noticed public hearing on the environmental determination, and this First Amendment, and at the conclusion of the hearing recommended approval of the environmental determination and this First Amendment. l. On September 1, 2021, the City Council commenced a duly noticed public hearing on the environmental determination and this First Amendment, and at the conclusion of the hearing, made an environmental determination and introduced Ordinance No. 491 to approve this First Amendment. On September 15, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 491 approving this First Amendment. 2. Amendment to Project. Pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Agreement, Developer acknowledges and agrees that the Project has been amended to provide for the 63 condominium units and the construction of any improvements in connection therewith. Developer further consents to the City’s amendment to the Project Approvals, including Residential Planned Development (RPD) Permit No. 2014-02, as necessary to incorporate a revised site plan that reflects a new version of the Project with 63 condominium units. 3.

Prior to the issuance of the building permit for each residential dwelling unit within the Property, Developer shall pay a one-time fee in lieu of the dedication of parkland and related improvements ("Park Fee"). The amount of the Park Fee shall be Nine Thousand Dollars ($9,000.00) for each residential dwelling unit within the Property. If the Park Fee is not paid by January 1, 2022, the Park Fee shall be adjusted annually commencing January 1, 2022 by the larger increase of a) or b) as follows: (a)The change in the CPI.

In the event there is a decrease in the Bid Price Index for any annual indexing, the current amount of the fee shall remain until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an increase. 6.Addition of Section 6.21.
