DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Development Agreement ("the Agreement') is made and entered into on
, by and between the CITY OF MOORPARK, a municipal
corporation, (referred to hereinafter as "City") and Pardee Homes, a California
corporation, the owner of real property within the City of Moorpark generally referred to
as the Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan Planning Area No. 7 (referred to hereinafter
individually as "Developer"). 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 Agreement, City and Developer agree as follows:
1. Recitals. This Agreement 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:
1.1. 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.
1.2. The City and Developer entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) on April 1, 2009, regarding development of the school site as
identified in Specific Plan No. 95-2, approximately 22 acres of land
within the City ("the Property"), as more specifically described in
Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein. The property may
also be referred to as Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan Planning Area
No. 7. This Agreement supersedes the MOU for the development of
the Property.
1.3. Prior to approval of this Agreement, the City Council of City ("the City
Council') approved Amendment No. 2 to Specific Plan 95-2 for the
Property.
1.4. Amendment No. 2 to Specific Plan No. 95-2, Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 5860 (Tract 5860) and Residential Planned Development
Permit No. 2009-02 (RPD 2009-02) [collectively "the Project
Approvals"; individually "a Project Approval'] provide for the
development of the Property and the construction of certain off-site
improvements in connection therewith ("the Project').
1.5. By this Agreement, City desires to obtain the binding agreement of
Developer to develop the Property in accordance with the Project
Approvals and this Agreement. In consideration thereof, City agrees to
197
Ordinance No. 391
Page 6
limit the future exercise of certain of its governmental and proprietary
powers to the extent specified in this Agreement.
1.6. By this Agreement, Developer desires to obtain the binding agreement
of City to permit the development of the Property in accordance with
the Project Approvals and this Agreement. Developer anticipates
developing the Property over a minimum of three (3) years. In
consideration thereof, Developer agrees to waive its rights to legally
challenge the limitations and conditions imposed upon the
development of the Property pursuant to the Project Approvals and this
Agreement and to provide the public benefits and improvements
specified in this Agreement.
1.7. City and Developer acknowledge and agree that the consideration that
is to be exchanged pursuant to this Agreement is fair, just and
reasonable and that this Agreement is consistent with the General Plan
of City, as amended at time of adoption of Ordinance No. 391 for this
Agreement by the City Council.
1.8. On June 15, 2010, the Planning Commission of City commenced a
duly noticed public hearing on this Agreement, and at the conclusion of
the hearing recommended approval of the Agreement.
1.9. On July 7, 2010, the City Council commenced a duly noticed public
hearing on this Agreement, and at the conclusion of the hearing on
July 7, 2010, approved the Agreement by Ordinance No. 391 ("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, 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 portion of the Property except any lot
within the Project that has been fully developed in accordance with the
Project Approvals and this Agreement shall be, conclusively deemed to
have consented and agreed to be bound by this Agreement, whether
198
Ordinance No. 391
Page 7
or not any reference to the 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 any of
Developer's interest in any portion of the Property, that Developer shall
be released from its obligations with respect to the portion so sold or
transferred subsequent to the operative date of the sale or transfer,
provided that the Developer (i) was not in breach of this Agreement at
the time of the sale or transfer and (ii) prior to the sale or transfer,
delivered to City a written assumption agreement in a form acceptable
to the City Attorney, duly executed by the purchaser or transferee and
notarized by a notary public, whereby the purchaser or transferee
expressly assumes the obligations of Developer under this Agreement
with respect to the sold or transferred portion of the Property. Failure
to provide a written assumption agreement hereunder shall not negate,
modify or otherwise affect the liability of the purchaser or transferee
pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to grant to City discretion to approve or deny any such sale or
transfer, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
3.3. In the event of a partial assignment or transfer, the assumption
agreement referenced in subsection 3.2 shall include provisions
acceptable to the City to ensure that the phased construction of
affordable housing units contemplated by Section 6.9 is achieved,
regardless of the identity or number of developers of the Project.
4. Development of the Property. The following provisions shall govern the
subdivision, development and use of the Property.
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
Mechanical Code, the Uniform Housing Code, the Uniform Code for
the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, the Uniform Code for Building
Conservation and the Uniform Administrative Code in effect at the time
the plan check or permit is approved and to any federal or state
199
Ordinance No. 391
Page 8
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 subsection, 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
subsection shall be construed 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.
5.30 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
200
Ordinance No. 391
Page 9
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.
(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
201
Ordinance No. 391
Page 10
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.
The term of any Subsequent Approval, except a tentative map or
subdivision improvement or other agreements relating to the Project,
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 Community Development Department 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 or
waiver of 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 and does
not alter the permitted uses, density, intensity, maximum height, size of
buildings or reservations and dedications as contained in the Project
Approvals.
202
Ordinance No. 391
Page 11
5.6. Issuance of Buildinq 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
Agreement, in no event shall building permits be allocated on any
annual numerical basis or on any arbitrary allocation basis.
5.7. Moratorium on Development. Nothing in 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 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
treatment capacity, electricity or natural gas.
6. Developer Agreements.
6.1. Developer shall comply with (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Project
Approvals, (iii) all Subsequent Approvals for which it was the applicant
or a successor in interest to the applicant and (iv) Addendum to the
Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan No. 2 Final Environmental Impact
Report, (Final EIR) and the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) of
the Final EIR and any subsequent or supplemental environmental
actions.
6.2. All lands and interests in land dedicated to City shall be free and clear
of liens and encumbrances other than easements or restrictions that
do not preclude or interfere with use of the land or interest for its
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 development fee as described herein (the
"Development Fee"). The Development Fee may be expended by City
in its sole and unfettered discretion. On the operative date of this
Agreement, the amount of the Development Fee shall be Eight
Thousand One Hundred and Fifty-Three Dollars ($8,153.00) per
203
Ordinance No. 391
Page 12
residential unit and Thirty-Six Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty-Nine
Dollars ($36,689.00) per gross acre of institutional land. The fee shall
be adjusted annually commencing July 1, 2011 by the larger increase
of a) or b) as follows:
a) Consumer Price Index (CPI): any 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/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan area

to reflect the change in the Caltrans Highway Bid Price Index for
Selected California Construction Items for the twelve (12) month
period ending the first quarter of the same year in which the
Development Fee is to be paid.
In the event there is a decrease in both of the referenced Indices for
any annual indexing, the Development Fee shall remain at its then
current amount until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing
which results in an increase.
6.4. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for each residential

Thousand Five Hundred and Forty-One Dollars ($9,541.00) per
residential unit, and Forty-Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-
Five Dollars ($42,935.00) per acre of institutional land on which the
institutional use is located. Commencing on July 1, 2011, and annually
thereafter, the contribution amount shall be increased to reflect the
change in the Caltrans Highway Bid Price Index for Selected California
Construction Items for the twelve (12) month period ending the first
quarter of the same year ("annual indexing"). In the event there is a
decrease in the referenced 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.
6.5. 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
204
Ordinance No. 391

City in its sole and unfettered discretion. The amount of the Community
Services Fee shall be Six Hundred Forty Dollars ($640.00) per
residential unit and Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Dollars

located. The fee shall be adjusted annually commencing on July 1,
2011, by the larger increase of a) or b) as follows:
a) Consumer Price Index (CPI): any 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/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan area
during the prior year. The calculation shall be made using the
month of April over the prior April.
b) Caltrans Highway Bid Price Index: the calculation shall be made
to reflect the change in the Caltrans Highway Bid Price Index for
Selected California Construction Items for the twelve (12) month
period ending the first quarter of the same year in which the
Community Services Fee is to be paid.
In the event there is a decrease in both of the referenced Indices for
any annual indexing, the Community Services Fee shall remain at its
then current amount until such time as the next subsequent annual
indexing which results in an increase.
6.6. 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
Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500.00) for each residential
dwelling unit. The fee shall be adjusted annually commencing July 1,
2011 by the larger increase of a) or b) as follows:
a) Consumer Price Index (CPI): any 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/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan area
during the prior year. 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

to reflect the change in the Caltrans Highway Bid Price Index for
Selected California Construction Items for the twelve (12) month
period ending the first quarter of the same year in which the

amount until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which
results in an increase.
6.7. Prior to the issuance of the building permit for the 100th housing unit,
Developer shall improve and dedicate to the City a twelve (12) foot
wide multipurpose trail within a minimum twenty-five foot wide
easement from Ridgecrest Drive to the Mammoth Highlands Park. The
trail improvements shall consist of trail fencing, decomposed granite
trail surface, and landscaping on both the east and west sides of the
trail consisting of 24-inch box trees and 5-gallon shrubs, along with
trees screening the easterly fence of Moorpark Highlands Park.
Design of the trail shall be to the satisfaction of the Public Works
Director/City Engineer, Parks and Recreation Director, and Community
Development Director.
6.8. (This section is intentionally left blank.)
6.9. Developer agrees that densities vested and incentives and
concessions received in the Project Approvals include all densities
available as density bonuses and all incentives and concessions to
which Developer is entitled under the Moorpark Municipal Code and
Government Code Sections 65915 through 65917.5; Developer shall
not be entitled to further density bonuses or incentives or concessions
and further agrees, in consideration for the density bonus obtained
through the Project Approvals that is greater than would otherwise be
available to provide ten (10) housing units affordable to low income
households as shown in the table below. Up to three (3) of the low
income units may be provided in the residential project known as
Waverly Place in SP-2 (RPD 2004-01 and Tract Map 5045).

Developer explicitly acknowledges that its agreement to construct
these affordable units is given both as specific consideration for both
the density bonus and in general as consideration for City's willingness
to negotiate and enter into this Agreement and for the valuable
consideration given by City through this agreement. Developer further
acknowledges that its agreement to construct these affordable units is
not the result of an existing policy or regulation imposed by City but
instead is the result of arm's length negotiation between the Parties.
Developer shall construct the affordable units required of it pursuant to
this Subsection 6.9 and shall meet all requirements of this Agreement.
The proposed project and property on which the units are to be
constructed shall conform to the City's General Plan, Zoning Codes,
and the Moorpark Municipal Code. Nothing in this Agreement requires
City to consider a General Plan Land Use Amendment, Zone Change,
or any other land use entitlement to allow or permit said proposed
construction. Developer further agrees that it shall pay the same
processing and development fees in the same amounts for the seven
low income units as it is required to pay for the market rate units in
Tract 5860. (The Developer has already paid the applicable
processing and development fees for the three (3) low income units in
Waverly Place.)
Prior to recordation of the first Final Map for this Project, the City
Council in its sole and unfettered discretion shall approve an
Affordable Housing Purchase and Sale Agreement (Affordable
Housing Agreement) that provides policies and guidelines to ensure
that all of the required affordable housing units are provided consistent
with this Agreement and applicable State laws and remains affordable
for the longest feasible time. The Affordable Housing Agreement shall
include but not be limited to the following items: Initial Purchase Price,
market value, buyer eligibility, affordability and resale covenants and
restrictions, equity share and second trust deed provisions, respective
207
Ordinance No. 391
Page 16
role of City and Developer, the responsibility of providing the affordable
units by each developer in the event of successors and/or assigns to
this Agreement, the final number of attached units that shall be
provided to meet Developer's affordable housing obligation arising
under this Agreement, quality of and responsibility for selection of
amenities and applicability of home warranties to meet all or a portion
of its obligation and any other items determined necessary by the City.
The Developer and City shall, prior to the occupancy of the first
residential unit for the Project, execute the Affordable Housing
Agreement that is consistent with this Agreement and with Developers
obligations hereunder. Developer shall pay the City's direct costs for
preparation and review of the Affordable Housing Agreement up to a
maximum of Ten-Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).
Developer agrees that three (3) affordable units will be provided within
the existing Waverly Place neighborhood prior to the issuance of the
first residential building permit within Tract 5860, with seven affordable
housing units to be provided within Tract 5860 in accordance with the
following schedule:
• Prior to the 31st occupancy in Tract 5860, 2 affordable units in
Tract 5860 shall be provided;
• Prior to the 49th occupancy in Tract 5860, 1 additional affordable
unit in Tract 5860 shall be provided;
• Prior to the 68th occupancy in Tract 5860, 1 additional affordable
unit in Tract 5860 shall be provided;
• Prior to the 85th occupancy in Tract 5860, 1 additional affordable
unit in Tract 5860 shall be provided;
• Prior to the 106th occupancy in Tract 5860, 1 additional affordable
unit in Tract 5860 shall be provided;
• Prior to the 133rd occupancy in Tract 5860, 1 additional affordable
unit in Tract 5860 shall be provided.
All affordable units shall meet the criteria of all applicable State laws to
qualify as newly affordable to low income and very low income persons
(in the quantity as specified in this Agreement) and will satisfy a portion
of the City's RHNA obligation and if within the Moorpark
Redevelopment Agency project area to satisfy a portion of the
Agency's affordable housing goals. The affordable units required by
this Agreement are consideration for City's entry into this Agreement
and therefore none of the affordable units shall duplicate or substitute
for the affordable housing requirement of any other developer or
development project. All subsequent approvals required of City under
this Subsection 6.9 shall be made at City's sole discretion. If any
conflict exists between this Agreement and any Affordable Housing
208
Ordinance No. 391
Page 17
Agreement required by and negotiated pursuant to this Agreement or
the conditions of approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5860
and/or RPD No. 2009-02, then the Affordable Housing Agreement shall
prevail.
For housing units constructed by Developer to meet its contractual
obligation under this Subsection 6.9, Developer agrees to provide the
same home warranties associated with other units in the same project
as the constructed or purchased unit, or the maximum time required by
State law, whichever is longer, but in no event less than ten (10) years.
Developer agrees that all such warranties shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the ultimate occupants of the low income units,
and that all warranties by subcontractors and suppliers shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by such occupants. The qualified
buyer (or City in lieu of a qualified buyer at its sole discretion) shall
have the same choices of finish options as purchasers of other units in
the project and final walk-through approval of condition of unit before
close of sale. Any options provided to buyers of units shall be provided
to buyer(s) of the required units including but not limited to color and
style choices for carpeting and other floor coverings. Flooring
selections shall be made within 10 days of Developer's request for
selection.
In the event the monthly HOA fees exceed One Hundred Dollars
($100.00), Developer shall deposit One Hundred Twenty Dollars
($120.00) for each dollar or portion thereof of the monthly HOA fees
that are in excess of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) into a City
administered trust to assist with future HOA fees for each affected unit.
The Affordable Sales 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. Section 50052.5(h) of the California Health
and Safety Code provides that an appropriate household size in terms
of determining purchase prices, is one more person than the number of
bedrooms. This means that the pricing for a three (3) bedroom unit will
be based on a household of four (4), regardless of the actual size of
the household purchasing the unit. The pricing for a four (4) bedroom
unit will be based on a household of five (5) regardless of the actual
size of the household purchasing the unit. For example, the monthly
"affordable housing cost" for a three (3) bedroom unit would be 30%
times 70% of $86,100, the current median income for a household of
four (4) in Ventura County, divided by twelve (12). The monthly
"affordable housing cost" for a four (4) bedroom unit would be 30%
times 70% of $93,000, the current median income for a household of
209
Ordinance No. 391
Page 18
five (5) in Ventura county, divided by twelve (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 Code). The Affordable Sales Price for a low
income household would be $170,850 for a three bedroom unit and
$185,350 for a four bedroom unit under current market conditions,
based upon the following assumptions:
Low Income Buyer
Item Detail Amount
4 Bedroom 3 Bedroom
Affordable Sales $185,350 $170,850
Price
Down Payment 5% of Affordable $9,268 $8,543
Sales Price
Loan Amount Affordable Sales $176,082 $162,308
Price less down
payment
Interest Rate 6.25%
Property Tax 1.25% of Initial $193/mo $178/mo
Purchase Price
LMD $181mo $18/mo
HOA $100/mo $100/mo.
Fire Insurance $20/mo $20/mo.
Maintenance $20/mo $20/mo.
Utilities $214 $186/mo.
The assumptions associated with the above purchase price figures for
low income households include a 5% down payment, based on
Affordable Sales Price of $170,850 for a three (3) bedroom unit and
$185,350 for a four (4) bedroom unit, mortgage interest rate of 6.25%,
no mortgage insurance, property tax rate of 1.25%, based on
Affordable Sales Price, homeowners' association dues of $100 per
month, fire insurance of $20 per month, maintenance costs of $20 per
month, and utilities of$186 per month for a three (3) bedroom unit and
$214 per month for a four (4) bedroom unit. Utilities are adjusted
based on unit size.
Developer acknowledges that changes in market conditions may result
in changes to the Affordable Sales Price, down payment amounts,
mortgage interest rates, and other factors for both low income and very
low income buyers. Furthermore, if "affordable housing cost", as
210
Ordinance No. 391
Page 19
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 Purchase and Sale Agreement negotiated
pursuant to this Agreement shall address this potential change.
In the event the City, at its sole discretion purchases one or more of
the units from Developer in lieu of a qualified buyer, the Affordable
Sales Price shall be based on a household size appropriate to the size
of the unit being purchased by the City, consistent with all
requirements of this Subsection 6.9. Developer agrees that, pursuant
to City's rights under this Agreement and/or the Affordable Housing
Agreement and prior to and upon the sale of a required unit to a
qualified buyer (or City in lieu of a qualified buyer as determined by
City at its sole discretion), City may at its sole discretion take any
actions and impose any conditions on said sale or subsequent sale of
the unit to ensure ongoing affordability to low and very low income
households and related matters. After the sale of a housing unit by
Developer to a qualified buyer (or City in lieu of a qualified buyer as
determined by City at its sole discretion), City, not Developer, shall
have sole responsibility for approving any subsequent sale of that
housing unit.
Developer shall pay closing costs for each affordable unit, not to
exceed six thousand five hundred eighty-four dollars ($6,584.00).
Beginning July 1, 2011, and on July 1 St for each of fifteen subsequent
years, the maximum $6,584.00 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/Riverside/Orange County 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 closing costs for each affordable
unit shall remain at its then current amount until such time as the next
subsequent annual indexing which results in an increase. The
referenced Developer funded closing costs shall be for the benefit of
qualified buyers (or City in lieu of qualified buyers as determined by
City at its sole discretion for one or more of the required units) in their
acquisition of a unit from Developer not Developer's acquisition of a
unit from one or more third parties. The Developer's escrow cost shall
not exceed the then applicable maximum amount per unit regardless of
the number of escrows that may be opened on a specific unit.
In addition, in lieu of constructing any Very Low Income Affordable
Housing Units on site, for each of the residential units, Developer shall
211
Ordinance No. 391
Page 20
pay to the 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 Four Thousand Five hundred and Eight Dollars ($4,508.00)
shall be paid prior to issuance of the building permit for each dwelling
unit in the Project. Commencing on July 1, 2011, and annually
thereafter, the In-Lieu Fee shall be adjusted by any increase in the
Consumer Price Index 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 April over the prior month of April. 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.
6.10. A. Developer agrees to (i) limit its total reimbursement from the proceeds
of Bonds of CFD 2004-01 to $27,000,000.00 (ii) any funds in the
Project Improvement Fund in excess of the amount required to fund
such total reimbursement, less any CFD 2004-01 consultant costs
associated with the redemption of Bonds and adding residential units
approved in the Project Entitlements to CFD 2004-01, shall be applied
to redeem a portion of the Bonds, consistent with applicable provisions
of State and Federal laws and regulations. As a result of such
redemption, the Special Taxes for Facilities shall be decreased in
accordance with the Rate and Method (defined below). Developer
agrees that no additional public improvements shall be eligible for
reimbursement from CFD 2004-01 resulting from development of this
property.
B. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Developer agrees to initiate
action to include the Property (except residential units designated to be
sold to low income buyers pursuant to Section 6.9 of this Agreement)
in CFD 2004-01 for purposes of levying the Special Tax for Facilities
and the Special Tax for Services described in the First Amended Rate
and Method of Apportionment as adopted by Resolution No. 2010-
2938 (the "Rate and Method"), which amends the original Rate and
Method of Apportionment attached as Exhibit "B" to City Council
Resolution No. 2004-2383.
6.11. Developer agrees to pay to City the Transportation System
Management Fee (TSM Fee) for each residential unit and institutional
use prior to the issuance of a building permit for each residential unit or
212
Ordinance No. 391
Page 21
institutional use. The TSM fee shall be One Thousand Seven Hundred
and Nine Dollars ($1,709.00) for each residential unit and Twenty-Eight
Cents ($0.28) per gross square foot of institutional building space.
Commencing on July 1, 2011, and annually thereafter the TSM Fee
shall be adjusted 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/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan area during the prior
year. The calculation shall be made using the month of April over the
prior month of April. In the event there is a decrease in the CPI for any
annual indexing, the fee shall remain at its then current amount until
such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.
6.12. Developer hereby waives any right that it may have under California
Government Code Section 65915 et seq., or any successor thereto, or
any other provision of Federal, State, or City laws or regulations for
application or use of any density bonus that would increase the
number of dwelling units approved to be constructed on the Property.
6.13. Developer agrees to cast affirmative ballots for the formation of one or
more assessment districts and levying of assessments, for the
maintenance of parkway and median landscaping, street lighting,
including but not limited to all water and electricity costs, and if
requested by the City Council, parks for the provision of special
benefits conferred by same upon properties within the Project.
Developer further agrees to form one or more property owner
associations and to obligate said associations to provide for
maintenance of parkway and median landscaping, street lighting, and if
requested by the City Council, parks in the event the aforementioned
assessment district is dissolved or altered in any way or assessments
are reduced or limited in any way by a ballot election of property
owners, or if the assessment district is invalidated by court action. Prior
to recordation of the first final map for the Property, if required by City
at its sole discretion, Developer shall also form one or more property
owner associations to assume ownership and maintenance of open
space land, trails, storm water detention and/or debris basins and
related drainage facilities, landscaping, and other amenities, and to
comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) requirements of the Project. The obligation of said property
owner associations shall be more specifically defined in the conditions
of approval of Tract 5860 and RPD 2009-02.
213
Ordinance No. 391
Page 22
6.14. In addition to fees specifically mentioned in this Agreement, Developer

required to be paid. Said fees include but are not limited to Library
Facilities Fees, Police Facilities Fees, Fire Facilities Fees, Art in Public
Places Fees, drainage, entitlement processing fees, and plan check

properties.
6.15. Developer shall pay the Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution

issuance of a building permit for each residential unit or institutional
use. The AOC fee shall be the dollar amount in effect at the time of
issuance of the building permit.
6.16. Developer agrees that any fees and payments pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made without reservation, and Developer
expressly waives the right to payment of any such fees under protest
pursuant to California Government Code Section 66020 and statutes
amendatory or supplementary thereto. Developer further agrees that
the fees it has agreed to pay pursuant to Subsections 6.3, 6.5, 6.9,
6.17 and 6.22 of this Agreement are not public improvement fees
collected pursuant to Government Code Section 66006 and statutes
amendatory or supplementary thereto.
6.17. Developer agrees to comply with Section 15.40.150 of the Moorpark

portion of Section 6 above, are discontinued or revised, such
successor index with which the "CPI" and or "referenced Index" are
replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result
as would otherwise have been obtained if either or both the "CPI" and
"referenced Index" had not been discontinued or revised.
6.21. Prior to the issuance of the building permit for the one-hundredth
(100th) residential unit, Developer shall either extend and pave

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
Final EIR and Mitigation and Monitoring Program.
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",

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.
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.
11.3. Content of Notice of Violation. Every notice of violation shall state with
specificity that it is given pursuant to this subsection of the Agreement,
the nature of the alleged breach, and the manner in which the breach
may be satisfactorily cured. Every notice shall include a period to cure,
which period of time shall not be less than ten (10) days from the date
that the notice is deemed received, provided if the defaulting party
cannot reasonably cure the breach within the time set forth in the
notice such party must commence to cure the breach within such time
limit and diligently effect such cure thereafter. The notice shall 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. Prior to
pursuing the remedies set forth herein, notice and an opportunity to
cure shall be provided pursuant to Subsection 11.3 herein.
219
Ordinance No. 391
Page 28
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, including, in the case of a
failure to pay a fee required hereunder, to compel such payment. In
addition, if the breach is of Subsections 6.9, 6.10, 6.12, 6.13, 6.14,
6.16, 6.17, 6.19, 6.21, 6.23, 6.24, 6.25 and 6.26 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 11.3 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. Mort-a-ge 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.
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,
220
Ordinance No. 391
Page 29
(ii) this Agreement has not been amended, or if amended, the identity of each
amendment, and (iii) the requesting Party is not in breach of this Agreement, or if
