Council ") commenced a duly noticed public hearing on
this Agreement, and at the conclusion of the hearing
approved the Agreement by Ordinance No. 285 ( "the
Enabling Ordinance ").
2. Property Subject To This Agreement. All of the Property shall
be subject to this Agreement. The Property may also be
referred to hereinafter as "the site" or "the Project ".
3. Binding Effect. The burdens of this Agreement are binding
upon, and the benefits of the Agreement inure to, each Party
and each successive successor in interest thereto and
constitute covenants that run with the Property. Whenever the
terms "City" and "Developer" are used herein, such terms shall
include every successive successor in interest thereto.
3.1. Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every person who
acquires any right, title or interest in or to any
portion of the Property in which the Developer has a
legal interest is, and shall be, conclusively deemed to
have consented and agreed to be bound by this
Agreement, whether or not any reference to the
Ordnance No. 285
Page
Agreement is contained in the instrument by which such
person acquired such right, title or interest.
3.2. Release Upon Transfer. Upon the sale or transfer of

4.1. Permitted Uses. The permitted and conditionally
permitted uses of the Property shall be limited to
those that are allowed by the Project Approvals and
this Agreement.
4.2. Development Standards. All design and development
standards, including but not limited to density or
intensity of use and maximum height and size of
buildings, that shall be applicable to the Property are
set forth in the Project Approvals and this Agreement.
4.3. Building Standards. All construction on the Property
shall adhere to the Uniform Building Code, including
the Fire Resistive Design Manual, the National
Electrical Code, the Uniform Plumbing Code, the Uniform

building requirements that are then in effect
(collectively "the Building Codes ").
4.4. Reservations and Dedications. All reservations and
dedications of land for public purposes that are
applicable to the Property are set forth in the Project
Approvals and this Agreement.
5. Vesting of Development Rights.
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.
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
to limit City's right to insure that Developer timely
provides all infrastructure required by the Project
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, subdivision
Ordinance No. 285
Page 9
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 a
final subdivision map or building permits.
The term of any Subsequent Approval, except a tentative
map, shall be one year; provided 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, the 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.
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 �he Subsequent Approval
is deemed complete by City (collectively "City Laws'',,
except City Laws that:
(a) change any permitted or conditional permitted
uses of the Property from what is allowed by the
Project Approvals;
Ordinance No. 285
Page 10
(b) limit or reduce the density or intensity of the
Project, or any part thereof, or otherwise
require any reduction in the square footage or
number of proposed buildings or other
improvements from what is allowed by the Project
Approvals;
(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 oe in
place prior to completion of construction;
(d) are not uniformly applied on a City -wide basis to
all substantially similar types of development

(f) modify the land use from what is permitted by the
General Plan. Land Use Element at the date the
Enabling Ordinance is adopted 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. Modification of Approvals. Throughout the term of this
Agreement, the 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
minor modifications to Project Approvals and Subsequent
Approvals. The approval or conditional approval of any
such minor 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.

shall prevent City, whether by the City Council or
through the initiative or referendum process, from
adopting or imposing a moratorium on the processing and
issuance of Subsequent Approvals and building permits
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

(b) willfully violates any order, ruling or decision
of any regulatory or judicial body having jurisdiction
over the Property or the Project, provided that

be deemed to have occurred unless and until there is a
final adjudication adverse to Developer; or
(c) fails to make any payments required under this
Agreement; or
(d) materially breaches any of the other provisions of
the Agreement and the same is not cured within the time
set forth in a written notice of violation from City _o

such time limit and diligently effect such cure
thereafter.

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

accordance with Section 20 hereof.

Ordinance No. 285
Page 21
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

City from prosecuting a criminal action against the
Developer if it violates any City ordinance or state
statute.

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

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
Ordinance No. 285
Page 22

thereof, whose title thereto is acquired by foreclosure,

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
