BAY PROJECT
Recommendation:

CONDUCT the Joint Public Hearing.
Fiscal Impact:
The Disposition and Development Agreement provides for an expenditure for public

the public right-of-way. The Disposition and Development Agreement also provides for
an optional subsidy formula, as further described herein, of up to $1,875,000. These
funds would be covered by tax increment revenues and/or tax allocation bond proceeds.
The Project is expected to generate approximately $455,000 in net tax increment,
$90,000 in net low -moderate income housing set -aside, and $50,000 in net sales tax on
an annual basis beginning in fiscal year 2007-2008, equating to annual revenues to the

Environmental:
A Program Environmental Impact Report has been adopted for the Downtown Specific
Plan, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines. The project has been determined to be
consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan. Pursuant to Section 15182(a) of the
California Environmental Quality Act, the project is deemed exempt from further CEQA
review.
Background:
The Commission, at their meeting of October 7, 2003, selected ARE Holdings, LLC to
redevelop the block bounded by. National City Boulevard, Roosevelt Avenue, 11th Street
and 12th Street. The selection followed an owner participation process, as required by
California redevelopment law and the Redevelopment Agency's Owner Participation
Rules.
ARE Holdings, LLC has proposed the mixed -use Cove at San Diego Bay project, which
consists of approximately 219 residential condominiums, 7,500 square feet of
commercial retail space, and 360 parking spaces. The project includes a tower element
of 16 stories, a mixed -use 7 story building on National City Boulevard, and two four
story buildings, one on 12th Street and one on Roosevelt Avenue. Each of these
building elements surround a central core of subterranean and podium parking, which
remains screened from public view (Exhibit 4). The project is designed to create a
village environment that complements other projects in the "Morgan Square" area
between the Police Headquarters building on the south and the Education Village
project on the north.
The development represents a total developer investment of approximately $70,000,000
and is envisioned as a major catalyst to the revitalized downtown district. As a catalyst
project, Community Development Commission staff is not recommending the inclusion
of subsidized very -low or low-income housing units in this particular development
proposal.
The Disposition and Development Agreement provides for Redevelopment Agency
and/or Parking Authority property acquisition if ARE Holdings, LLC is unsuccessful in
assembling all necessary parcels. Any costs associated with Agency acquisition will be
covered by ARE Holdings, LLC. In addition, Polanco Act indemnification is provided to
ARE Holdings, LLC for any environmental contamination that may be found during the
due diligence period.
National City Boulevard Streetscape improvements will be implemented, including
upgraded sidewalk and landscape elements, as part of the Project development. The
Community Development Commission will commit up to $365,000 for public
City Council, Community Development Commission, Parking Authority Agenda Item No. 1

j
improvements for this purpose. In addition, ARE Holdings, LLC will have the option of
electing a Redevelopment Agency subsidy of up to $1,875,000, based on the following
formula:
Subsidy Formula:
Within sixty (60) days of completion of acquisition and relocation activities funded by the
developer, the developer may elect to either:
a. Proceed with a subsidy from the Community Development Commission
based on acquisition and relocation costs that exceed $80/square foot,
capped at $1,875,000. The Community Development Commission will be
reimbursed for these costs through a one percent surcharge collected
upon the resale of residential units (after the initial sale and in effect for 30
years), through the same formula applied to initial and subsequent sale of
retail units, and through an additional "upside participation" formula, as
further described in the Agreement. However, if the subsidy disbursed is
$1,300,000 or less, the additional "upside participation" formula will not
apply;
b. Proceed without a subsidy from the Community Development
Commission, in which case the Project is not expected to be constructed
utilizing the State Prevailing Wage formula, except as this applies to the
construction of National City Boulevard streetscape enhancements;
c. Discontinue development and sell back to the Community Development
Commission any properties acquired, at the cost of acquisition, and
terminate the Disposition and Development Agreement.
Timing of Development:
The acquisition and relocation process is scheduled to take place as soon as possible
and conclude by early Spring 2006. Depending on the outcome of that process,
construction plans could be submitted for building permits by early 2006. Building
permits are expected to be issued by Summer 2006 with construction planned to
commence shortly thereafter. Building completion and occupancy is slated for Spring
2008. Community Development Commission staff will actively work to expedite all
phases of the project. A more detailed listing of projected dates is included in the
Schedule of Performance (Attachment No. 3 to the Disposition and Development
Agreement).
With this, Community Development Commission staff recommends that the City
Council, the Community Development Commission Board and the Parking Authority
Board approve the Disposition and Development Agreement by and between the
Community Development Commission, Parking Authority and ARE Holdings, LLC, for
development of the Cove at San Diego Bay Project; approve the Health and Safety

DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
entered into as of July 19, 2005, by and between the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION OF NATIONAL CITY, a public body, corporate and politic (the "CDC"), the
PARKING AUTHORITY OF NATIONAL CITY, a public body, corporate and politic (the
"Parking Authority") and ARE HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Developer").
RECITALS
The following recitals are a substantive part of this Agreement:
1. In furtherance of the objectives of the California Community Redevelopment Law,
the CDC desires the redevelopment of certain real property within the Project Area, bordering
National City Boulevard on the East and Roosevelt Avenue on the West between 11th and 12th (the
"Site") for a residential and retail mixed -use project consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
2. As of the date of this Agreement, the Developer owns in fee certain of the parcels
which comprise the Site (the "Developer Parcels"). The parties contemplate the possibility that the
Developer may need the assistance of the CDC and/or the Parking Authority to acquire the remaining
parcels which form the Site (the "Remaining Parcels"). The Parking Authority may acquire property
under California law through eminent domain and otherwise for the purpose of constructing and
maintaining parking facilities for the use and convenience of the public when it is deemed necessary
or convenient to provide such facilities. The Parking Authority and the CDC find it necessary and
convenient to require that the Project provide public parking for the Project's retail use, as more
particularly described herein, and that the Parking Authority may use its power of eminent domain to
acquire property for the purpose of providing such public parking. In the event the Developer needs
such assistance to acquire the Remaining Parcels, the CDC and/or the Parking Authority shall
provide such assistance in accordance with the terms hereof and to the extent permitted by law.
3. The CDC and the Developer desire by this Agreement for the Developer to purchase
the Remaining Parcels from the CDC and/or the Parking Authority if the CDC and/or the Parking
Authority acquire the Remaining Parcels pursuant to this Agreement, and for the Developer to
construct on the Site of at least approximately 209 and up to 300 condominium residential units (the
"Residential Units"), commercial and retail facilities, as well as associated parking therefor (the
"Project"). Parking for the Project shall consist of approximately 320 parking spaces of which 40
spaces shall be reserved for public use to access the Project's retail use. Additional development on
the Site may occur pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
4. On February 1, 2005 The City of National City (the "City") adopted the City's
Downtown Specific Plan, an amendment to its General Plan and an amendment to its Zoning Code,
and certified an Environmental Impact Report (the "EIR") in connection with these actions, which
entitle the owner of the Site to construct and operate on the Site multi -family residential units up to a
floor area ratio of 6:1, commercial retail space of up to fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet and
associated onsite parking.
5. The City Council for the City (the "City Council") and the CDC have duly adopted
the Downtown Redevelopment Plan (the "Redevelopment Plan") which permits and encourages each
LA-FS 1 \V illaF\311599v05\72826.010100
of the proposed uses and the construction of the Improvements (as hereinafter defined) which, the
Developer will undertake under this Agreement.
6. The Developer's acquisition of the Remaining Parcels and its development of the Site
as a mixed -use, condominium and retail center in accordance with this Agreement will promote the
City's goals of revitalizing its downtown core, expanding housing opportunities for its residents,
providing much -needed retail services and public parking, and catalyzing investment in and the
redevelopment of this area, all as set forth in the Downtown Redevelopment Plan and the Downtown
Specific Plan.
7. The parties have determined that Hazardous Materials, defined below, are present at
the Site.
8. As of the Date of this Agreement, the CDC intends to submit a Property Mitigation
Plan ("PMP") for. the Site to the regulatory agencies asserting jurisdiction over the Site in connection
with mitigating and/or eliminating the environmental contamination identified in the CDC
Environmental Reports (as defined below). The PMP is intended to assure the suitability of the Site
for the development, occupancy and operation of the Project. The CDC shall perform the Remedial
Work in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements and Environmental Laws and in a
manner that is intended to qualify for the immunity under the Polanco Act (set forth at California
Health and Safety Code §33459 et seq.) subject to the parties' respective obligations concerning the
costs of the Remedial Work as set forth herein.
9. The parties believe that neither the CDC nor the Developer caused the environmental
contamination on the Site. However, completion of the Remedial Work is in the best interests of the
CDC, the City and the health, safety and welfare of the residents and taxpayers of the Redevelopment
Project and the City, and is in accord with the public purposes and provisions of applicable state and
local laws. The CDC desires to see the Remedial Work completed under the Polanco Act to
effectuate reuse of the Site in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan as well as to provide the
CDC, Developer and any subsequent purchasers of all or a portion of the Site with immunity
pursuant to Health and Safety Code §33459.3.
10. The CDC's and/or the Parking Authority's acquisition of the Remaining Parcels and
disposition thereof to the Developer, and the Developer's acquisition of the Remaining Parcels and
construction and completion of the Improvements pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, are in the
vital and best interest of the Cityandthe health, safety, morals and welfare of its residents, and in
accord with the public purposes and provisions of applicable state and local laws and requirements

Until the Closing, Developer shall, upon the change of any fact or condition which would
cause any of the warranties and representations in this Section 206.2 not to be true as of Closing,
immediately give written notice of such changed fact or condition to CDC and/or the Parking
Authority. Such exception(s) to a representation shall not be deemed a breach by Developer
hereunder, but shall constitute an exception which CDC and/or the Parking Authority shall have a

Developer's execution of a right of entry agreement to be provided by the CDC and/or the Parking
Authority. Any preliminary work shall be undertaken only after securing any necessary permits from
the appropriate governmental agencies.
308. Condition of the Site.
308.1. Disclosure. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the CDC also has
caused a Limited Phase I investigation of the environmental condition of the Site, and the land
adjacent to or near the Site (the "Phase 1 Report"). Developer acknowledges that Developer has been
provided a copy of the Phase I Report. The Phase I Report suggests that there may be a release of
Hazardous Materials at the Site, and that further investigation is required, and mitigation of property
conditions to comply with Environmental Laws may also be required.
- 18 -
Except as may be set forth in the Phase I Report, the CDC and the Developer hereby
represent and warrant to the other that they have no actual knowledge, and have not received any
notice or communication from any government agency having jurisdiction over the Site, notifying
such party of, the presence of surface or subsurface zone Hazardous Materials in, on, or under the
Site, or any portion thereof. "Actual knowledge," as used herein, means the actual knowledge of the
CDC and the Developer and their respective Board members, officers, managers, employees and
agents.
308.2. Investigation of Site. In addition to conducting a physical assessment of the
Site, Developer shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to engage its own environmental
consultant ("Developer's Environmental Consultant") to conduct an environmental assessment and
make such investigations as Developer deems necessary, including "Phase I" and/or "Phase II"
investigations of the Site (including soil, vapor, and groundwater sampling and monitoring), and
shall promptly provide CDC a copy of all final reports and test results (not including drafts) provided
by Developer's Environmental Consultant ("Developer's Environmental Reports"). Developer shall
also timely provide proposed plans for the Improvements at the Site, indicating where construction
excavation is planned, and showing all final grades, paving and other site hardscape, in order for the
CDC to develop and propose a PMP satisfactory for the proposed end use of the Site and the
protection of the health of construction workers during the development phase. CDC will coordinate
with the Developer to ensure the suitability of the PMP for the proposed development.
308.3. CDC's Performance of Remedial Work The CDC shall be responsible for
identifying and contracting with the appropriate environmental regulatory agency for approval of
plans to investigate and remediate, as necessary, any conditions at the Site in order to obtain a
Completion Letter which will provide Polanco Act immunities, as allowable by law, by illustrating
compliance with the PMP and all Governmental Requirements at the Site. If possible, the CDC will
attempt to obtain the Completion Letter prior to the Closing. The Developer and the Developer's
Environmental Consultant shall have the right to be present and oversee the Remedial Work at their
sole cost and expense. Promptly upon completion of the Remedial Work, the CDC shall submit all
necessary documentation to the governmental agency with oversight authority to obtain the
Completion Letter.
308.4. Financial Responsibility for Remedial Work In order to underwrite the
CDC's expenses the Developer sl-A1 initially advance the sum of $10,000 to the CDC for Remedial
Work, and shall reimburse the CDC for itemized expenses the CDC incurs relating to remedial work,
1) upon closing, and 2) every quarter thereafter. The CDC will provide Developer with an itemized
accounting of amounts spent at closing and each quarter thereafter. The CDC shall use its best
efforts to recover all costs and attorneys' fees it incurs in undertaking and completing the Remedial
Work from responsible parties, including, but not limited to, past and present owners and operators
of the Remaining Parcels and the Developer Parcels, as authorized under the Polanco Act and other
applicable law. The CDC shall reimburse the Developer for all such recovered costs and fees, up to
amounts advanced or paid by Developer for Remedial work, within ten (10) calendar days of the
CDC's receipt thereof.
308.5. CDC Responsibilities for Hazardous Materials and Remedial Work.
CDC shall use its best efforts to secure a regulatory approval for the PMP for the Site, and, to the
extent provided by law, will endeavor to secure a determination from the DEH so that Polanco Act
immunities can attach, to the benefit of the Developer. However, the Developer accepts that not all
contamination may be removed from the Site following completion of activities described in the
- 19 -
PMP, even after the issuance of the Completion Letter. The Developer understands that although the
Site will be prepared to a condition in which impacts have been mitigated to a level where the Site
meets human health risk criteria, and construction -related nuisance impacts have been abated (or will
be abated simultaneously with construction activities), that some substances may remain at the Site,
at or below concentrations consistent with regulatory guidelines for residential development. As a
result of the Polanco Act, the Developer, its lender, successors and assigns should have certain
immunities from liability for future remediation of these substances by operation of state law.
However, should Developer, its successors or assigns determine or desire to undertake future
construction or additional remediation activities at the Site, any increased costs related to the
redevelopment by reason of residual impacts shall be borne by the Developer, its successor and
assigns, and the CDC will have no responsibility therefor. In addition, the Developer, and its
successors and assigns, accept that the immunities described in the Polanco Act do not shield or
protect against liability as a result of new releases of Hazardous Materials that may occur during or
after the redevelopment process. The CDC shall have no responsibility for any such new releases
unrelated to the conditions existing at the Site on or prior to the date the Site or any portion thereof is
conveyed to the Developer (a "New Release"), and the Developer waives and abandons any such
claims for liability against the CDC for New Releases.
308.6. Warranties and Indemnities As To Site. To the extent authorized by
contract or law, the CDC and/or the Parking Authority shall assign to the Developer all warranties,
indemnities, and guaranties with respect to the environmental condition of the Site or any portion
thereof, if any, that the CDC and/or the Parking Authority may have received from prior owners of
any of the parcels comprising the Site.
308.7. Mutual Representations The Parties recognize that redevelopment of the
Site is dependent upon many factors, one of which is receipt of the immunities upon completion of
the Remedial Work as provided in the Polanco Act. To that end, the Parties hereto agree that each
have and will continue to exercise best efforts to fulfill the obligations and duties required under the
Polanco Act, including without limitation, providing notices as required, completing the Remedial
Work in accordance with the approved PMP, and requesting closure and the Completion Letter.

costs of the CDC and the other indemnified parties' independent counsel in the event (i) Developer
fails to undertake to defend the CDC and the other indemnified parties against an indemnified claim,
(ii) such counsel becomes necessary due to a conflict of interest, or (iii) the Developer agrees to pay
such costs.
408.3. Taxes and Assessments. Upon and after the Closing, at all times during
which the Developer owns the Site, the Developer shall pay prior to delinquency all ad valorem real
estate taxes and assessments on the Site, subject to the Developer's right to contest in good faith any
such taxes. The Developer agrees that during all times the CDC is permitted to receive property tax
increment from the Redevelopment Project pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33670, as it
may be amended or substituted from time to time.
409. Release of Construction Covenants. Promptly after completion of the
Improvements in conformity with this Agreement, the CDC shall furnish the Developer with a
"Release of Construction Covenants," in the form of Attachment No. 6 hereto which is incorporated
herein by reference. The CDC shall not unreasonably withhold such Release of Construction
Covenants. The Release of Construction Covenants shall be a conclusive determination of
satisfactory completion of the Improvements and the Release of Construction Covenants shall so
state. Any party then owning or thereafter purchasing. leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in
the Site shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease or acquisition) incur any obligation or
liability under this Agreement except for those continuing covenants as described in the Grant Deed.
If the CDC refuses or fails to furnish the Release of Construction Covenants, after written
request from the Developer, the CDC shall, within fifteen (15) days of written request thereof,
provide the Developer with a written statement of the reasons the CDC refused or failed to furnish
-25-
the Release of Construction Covenants. The statement shall also contain the CDC's opinion of the
actions the Developer must take to obtain the Release of Construction Covenants. The Release of
Construction Covenants shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any
obligation of the Developer to any holder of any mortgage, or any insurer of a mortgage securing
money loaned to finance the Improvements, or any part thereof. The Release of Construction
Covenants is not a notice of completion as referred to in Section 3093 of the California Civil Code.
- 26 -
410. Financing of the Improvements.
410.1. Approval of Financing. As required herein and as a CDC Condition
Precedent to the Closing, Developer shall submit to CDC evidence that Developer has obtained
sufficient commitments for construction financing necessary to undertake the development of the
Site and the construction of the Improvements in accordance with this Agreement. The CDC shall
approve or disapprove such evidence of financing commitments within fifteen (15) days of receipt of
a complete submission. Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned. If the CDC
disapproves of the evidence of financing, CDC shall do so by a notice to Developer stating the
reasons for such disapproval and Developer shall promptly obtain and submit to CDC new evidence
of financing. CDC shall approve or disapprove such new evidence of financing in the same manner
and within the same times established in this Section 310.1 for the approval or disapproval of the
evidence of financing as initially submitted to CDC.
Such evidence of financing shall include the following: (a) a copy of letter of interest(s)
obtained by Developer from one or more financial institutions for the mortgage loan or loans for
financing to fund the construction and completion of the Improvements, subject to such lenders'
reasonable, customary and normal conditions and terms, and/or (b) evidence that Developer has
sufficient funds for such construction, and that such funds have been committed to such construction,
and/or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the CDC as evidence of other sources of
capital sufficient to demonstrate that Developer has adequate funds to cover the difference between
the total cost of the construction and completion of the Improvements, less financing authorized by
those loans set forth in subparagraph (a) above.
410.2. No Encumbrances Except Mortgages and Deeds of Trust. Mortgages and
deeds of trust shall be permitted for the purpose of securing loans of funds to be used for financing
the construction of the Improvements (including architecture, engineering, legal, and related direct
costs as well as indirect costs) on or in connection with the Site, permanent financing, and any other
purposes necessary and appropriate in connection with development under this Agreement. The
Developer shall notify the CDC in advance of any mortgage or deed of trust financing, if the
Developer proposes to enter into the same before completion of the construction of the
Improvements.
410.3." Holder NotObligatedto Construct Improvements. The holder of any
mortgage or deed of trust authorized by this Agreement shall not be obligated by the provisions of
this Agreement to construct or complete the Improvements or any portion thereof, or to guarantee
such construction or completion; nor shall any covenant or any other provision in this Agreement be
construed so to obligate such holder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to construe, permit
or authorize any such holder to devote the Site to any uses or to construct any improvements thereon,
other than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized by this Agreement.
410.4. Notice of Default to Mortgagee or Deed of Trust Holders; Right to Cure.
With respect to any mortgage or deed of trust granted by Developer as provided herein, whenever the
CDC may deliver any notice or demand to Developer with respect to any breach or default by the
Developer in completion of construction of the Improvements, the CDC shall at the same time
deliver to each holder of record of any mortgage or deed of trust authorized by this Agreement a
copy of such notice or demand. Each such holder shall (insofar as the rights granted by the CDC are
concerned) have the right, at its option, within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the notice, to cure
or remedy or commence to cure or remedy and thereafter to pursue with due diligence the cure or
- 27 -
remedy of any such default and to add the cost thereof to the mortgage debt and the lien of its
mortgage. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize such holder
to undertake or continue the construction or completion of the Improvements, or any portion thereof
(beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect the improvements or construction already made)
without first having expressly assumed the Developer's obligations to the CDC by written agreement
reasonably satisfactory to the CDC. The holder, in that event, must agree to complete, in the manner
provided in this Agreement, the improvements to which the lien or title of such holder relates. Any
such holder properly completing such improvement shall be entitled, upon compliance with the
requirements of Section 310 of this Agreement, to a Release of Construction Covenants. It is
understood that a holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the sixty (60) day time limit set forth
above for commencing to cure or remedy a Developer default which requires title and/or possession
of the Site (or portion thereof) if and to the extent any such holder has within such sixty (60) day
period commenced proceedings to obtain title and/or possession and thereafter the holder diligently
pursues such proceedings to completion and cures or remedies the default.
500. COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS
501. Use in Accordance with Redevelopment Plan. The Developer covenants and agrees for
itself, its successors, assigns, and every successor in interest to the Site or any part thereof, that upon

Association. The Association CC&Rs shall entitle each owner to use of the common areas and
facilities to be constructed on the Site and shall set forth an equitable apportionment of the costs of
maintaining and operating such common areas and facilities. The Association CC&Rs shall require
the maintenance of the improvements and the Site in accordance with the standards of this Section
503 and the standards of similar residential developments within the City. The Association CC&Rs
shall be enforceable by the CDC, and any substantive amendments to such Association CC&Rs shall

505. Effect of Violation of the Terms and Provisions of this Agreement After
Completion of Construction. The CDC is deemed the beneficiary of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement and of the covenants running with the land, for and in its own right and for the
purposes of protecting the interests of the community and other parties, public or private, in whose
favor and for whose benefit this Agreement and the covenants running with the land have been
provided, without regard to whether the CDC has been, remains or is an owner of any land or interest
therein in the Site or in the Redevelopment Project. The CDC shall have the right, if the Agreement
or covenants are breached, to exercise all rights and remedies, and to maintain any actions or suits at

Section 401 and 402 of this Agreement shall remain in effect for the term of the Redevelopment
Plan.
(b) The covenants against discrimination, as set forth in Section 404 of
this Agreement, shall remain in effect in perpetuity.
600. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
601. Default Remedies. Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Section 702 of this
Agreement, failure by any party to perform any action or covenant required by this Agreement within
the time periods provided herein following notice and failure to cure as described hereafter,
constitutes a "Default" under this Agreement. A party claiming a Default shall give written notice of
Default to the other party specifying the Default complained of. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, the claimant shall not institute any proceeding against any other party,
and the other party shall not be in Default if such party within thirty (30) days from receipt of such
notice immediately, with due diligence, commences to cure, correct or remedy such failure or delay
and shall complete such cure, correction or remedy with diligence.
602. Institution of Legal Actions. In addition to any other rights or remedies and subject
to the restrictions otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any party may institute an action at law or
equity to seek specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, or to cure, correct or remedy any
Default, to recover damages for any Default, or to obtain any other remedy available at law or in
equity. Such legal actions must be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of San Diego, State
of California.
603. Termination by the Developer Prior to the Conveyance. In addition to the rights
provided the Developer in Section 602 hereof, in the event that (a) the CDC or Parking Authority do

more of the Developer's Conditions Precedent to the Closing is not fulfilled on or before the time set

default of the CDC or Parking Authority prior to the Closing is not cured within the time set forth in
-30-
Section 501 hereof, after written demand by the Developer, or (d) the Developer timely disapproves
the environmental condition of the Site pursuant to Section 208 hereof, then this Agreement may, at
the option of the Developer, be terminated by written Notice thereof to the CDC (the "Notice of
Termination"). From the date of the written Notice of Termination of this Agreement by the
Developer to the CDC and thereafter this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and there shall be
no further rights or obligations between the parties with respect to the Site by virtue of or with
respect to this Agreement.
604. Termination by the CDC Prior to the Conveyance. In the event that prior to the
Conveyance the CDC and Parking Authority are not in Default under this Agreement and (a) the
Developer (or any successor in interest) assigns or attempts to assign the Agreement or any rights
therein or in the Site in violation of this Agreement; or (b) one or more of the CDC's Conditions
Precedent to the Closing is not fulfilled on or before the time set forth in the Schedule of
Performance and such failure is not caused by the CDC or Parking Authority; or (c) the Developer is

Completion of Construction.. The CDC and Parking Authority have the right, at their election, to
reenter and take possession of the Site, with all improvements thereon, and terminate and revest in
the CDC and Parking Authority the estate conveyed to the Developer if after the Closing and prior to
the issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants, the Developer (or its successors in interest)
shall unless due to an Enforced Delay as described in Section 702 hereof:
(a) Fail to start the construction of the Improvements as required by this
Agreement for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof from the CDC; or
(b) Abandon or substantially suspend construction of the Improvements
required by this Agreement for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice thereof from the CDC;
or
(c) Contrary to the provisions of Section 703 Transfer or suffer any

CDC or rescinded within thirty (30) days of notice thereof from CDC to Developer.
Such right to reenter, terminate and revest shall be subject to and be limited by and shall not
defeat, render invalid or limit:
1. Any mortgage or deed of trust permitted by this Agreement;
2. Any rights or interests provided in this Agreement for the protection
of the holders of such mortgages or deeds of trust; or
3. Any rights or interests held by a lessee in and to any portion of the
Site.
-31-
Notwithstanding the above, however, the CDC and Parking Authority shall have no right to
retake possession of Residential Units and portions of the Site sold to individual homebuyers in the
ordinary course of business. The Grant Deed shall contain appropriate reference and provision to
give effect to the CDC and Parking Authority's right as set forth in this Section 505, under specified
circumstances prior to recordation of the Release of Construction Covenants, to reenter and take
possession of the Site, with all improvements thereon, and to terminate and revest in the CDC or
Parking Authority the estate conveyed to the Developer. Upon the revesting in the CDC or Parking
Authority of title to the Site as provided in this Section 505, the CDC or Parking Authority shall,
pursuant to their responsibilities under State law, use their reasonable efforts to resell the Site as soon
and in such manner as the CDCor Parking Authority shall find feasible and consistent with the
objectives of such law and of the Redevelopment Plan, as it exists or may be amended, to a qualified
and responsible party or parties (as determined by the CDC or Parking Authority) who will assume
the obligation of making or completing the Improvements, or such improvements in their stead as
shall be satisfactory to the CDC or Parking Authority and in accordance with the uses specified for
such Site or part thereof in the Redevelopment Plan. Upon such resale of the Site, the net proceeds
thereof after repayment of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Site which is permitted by
this Agreement, shall be applied:
(i)
First, to reimburse the CDC and Parking Authority, on its own behalf
or on behalf of the City, all costs and expenses incurred by the CDC
and Parking Authority, excluding Parking Authority and CDC staff
costs, but specifically, including, but not limited to, any expenditures'
by the CDC or the Parking Authority in connection with the
recapture, management and resale of the Site or part thereof (but less
any income derived by the CDC or Parking Authority from the Site or
part thereof in connection with such management); all taxes,
assessments and water or sewer charges with respect to the Site or
part thereof which the Developer has not paid (or, in the event that
Site is exempt from taxation or assessment of such charges during the
period of ownership thereof by the CDC and Parking authority, an
amount, if paid, equal to such taxes, assessments, or charges as would
have been payable if the Site were not so exempt); any payments
made or necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances or liens
existing- on the Site or part thereof at the time or revesting of title
thereto in the CDC and Parking Authority, or to discharge or prevent
from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens
due to obligations, defaults or acts of the Developer, its successors or
transferees; any expenditures made or obligations incurred by the
CDC or Parking Authority with respect to the making or completion
of the Improvements or any part thereof on the Site, or part thereof;
and any amounts otherwise owing the CDC or Parking Authority by
the Developer, and in the event additional proceeds are thereafter
available, then
(ii) Second, to reimburse the Developer, its successor or transferee, up to
the amount equal to the sum of the costs incurred for the acquisition
and development of the Site and for the improvements existing on the
Site at the time of the reentry and possession.
- 32 -
Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the CDC and Parking
Authority as their property. The rights established in this Section 505 are not intended to be
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power, and remedy
shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy
authorized herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. These rights are to be interpreted
in light of the fact that the CDC will have conveyed the Site to the Developer for redevelopment
purposes and not for speculation in undeveloped land.
606. Acceptance of Service of Process. In the event that the Developer commences legal
action against the CDC and Parking Authority, service of process on the CDC shall be made by
personal service upon the Director of the CDC and Parking Authority or in such other manner as may
be provided by law. In the event that the CDC commences legal action against the Developer,
service of process on the Developer shall be made by personal service on the Developer, whether
made within or outside the State of California, or in such other manner as may be provided by law.
607. Rights and Remedies Are Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this
Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative, and the exercise by either party of
one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different
times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
608. Inaction Not a Waiver of Default. Any failures or delays by either party in
asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any Default shall not operate as a waiver of any Default
or of any such rights or remedies, or deprive either such party of its right to institute and maintain
any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights
or remedies.
609. Applicable Law. The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation
and enforcement of this Agreement.
610. Non -Liability of Officials and Employees of the CDC and Parking Authority.
No member, official or employee of the Parking Authority, the CDC or the City shall be personally
liable to the Developer, or any successor in interest, in the event of any Default or breach by the
Parking Authority or the CDC (or the City) or for any amount which may become due to the
Developer or its successors, or on any obligations under the terms of this Agreement.
611. Attorneys' Fees. In any action between the parties to interpret, enforce, reform,
modify, rescind, or otherwise in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement,
the prevailing party in the action shall be entitled, in addition to damages, injunctive relief, or any
other relief to which it might be entitled, reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation,
litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
700. GENERAL PROVISIONS
701. Notices, Demands and Communications Between the Parties. Any approval, disapproval,
demand, document or other notice ("Notice") which either party may desire to give to the other party
under this Agreement must be in writing and may be given by any commercially acceptable means to
the party to whom the Notice is directed at the address of the party as set forth below, or at any other
address as that party may later designate by Notice.

enforced delay and shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause, if notice
by the party claiming such extension is sent to the other party within thirty (30) days of the
commencement of the cause. Times of performance under this Agreement may also be extended in
writing by the mutual agreement of CDC, Parking Authority and Developer. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the lack of funding to complete the Improvements shall
not constitute grounds of enforced delay pursuant to this Section 602.

703. Transfers of Interest in Site or Agreement. The qualifications and identity of the
Developer as the developer of high quality residential development are of particular concern to the
CDC and Parking Authority. Furthermore, the parties acknowledge that the CDC and Parking
Authority have negotiated the terms of this Agreement in contemplation of the development of the
Improvements as described in the Scope of Development of this Agreement. Nevertheless, the
Developer may assign or otherwise transfer its interests and rights under this Agreement and its
interests in any parcel comprising the Site, so long as the Developer's assignee or transferee agrees to
comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and subject to the CDC's prior written
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The CDC's approval, prior or
otherwise, shall not be required for Permitted Transfers as defined in Section 703.1 hereof.
703.1. Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the CDC approval of a transfer shall not be required in connection with
any of the following:
(a) Any transfer to a limited liability company, partnership, corporation,
or other entity or entities in which ARE Holdings, LLC retains a portion of the ownership or
beneficial interest and retains management and control of the transferee entity or entities.
(b) The conveyance or dedication of any portion of the Site to the City or
other appropriate governmental agency, or the granting of easements or permits to facilitate
construction of the Improvements.
(c) Any requested assignment for financing purposes (subject to such
financing being considered and approved by the CDC pursuant to Section 411 herein), including the
grant of a deed of trust to secure the funds necessary for construction of the Improvements.
(d) Any conveyance of completed Residential Units to individual
homebuyers in the ordinary course of business.
(e) Any leaseback to the Developer of model Residential Units for the
period of the marketing of the Residential Units.
(f)
ordinary course of business.
Any lease -of commercial -retail space within -the Site to tenants in the
In the event of a transfer by the Developer under subparagraph (a) above not requiring the
Parking Authority and CDC's prior approval, Developer nevertheless agrees that at least thirty (30)
days before such transfer it shall give written notice to the CDC and Parking Authority of such
assignment and satisfactory evidence that the assignee has assumed in writing through an assignment
and assumption agreement of all of the obligations of this Agreement. Such an assignment shall
release the assigning Developer from any obligations to the Commission hereunder.
703.2. Parking Authority and CDC Consideration of Requested Transfer. The
CDC and Parking Authority agree that they will not unreasonably withhold approval of a request for
approval of a Transfer made pursuant to this Section 703, provided the Developer delivers written
notice to the CDC and Parking Authority requesting such approval. Such notice shall be
accompanied by evidence regarding the proposed transferee's development and/or operational
qualifications and experience, and its financial commitments and resources, in sufficient detail to
- 35 -
enable the CDC and Parking Authority to evaluate the proposed assignee or purchaser pursuant to the
criteria set forth in this Section 703 and as reasonably determined by the CDC and Parking Authority.
The CDC and Parking Authority may, in considering any such request, take into consideration such
factors as (i) the quality of any new and/or replacement operator, (ii) the transferee's past
performance as an developer of residential developments, (iii) the current financial condition of the
transferee, and similar factors. The CDC and Parking Authority agree not to unreasonably withhold
their approval of any such requested Transfer, taking into consideration the foregoing factors.
An assignment and assumption agreement in form satisfactory to the Parking Authority and
CDC's legal counsel shall also be required for all proposed Transfers. Within thirty (30) days after
the receipt of the Developer's written notice requesting the Parking Authority and CDC approval of a
Transfer pursuant to this Section 603, the CDC and Parking Authority shall either approve or
disapprove such proposed assignment or shall respond in writing by stating what further information,
if any, the Parking Authority and CDC reasonably require in order to complete the request and
determine whether or not to grant the requested approval. In the event of a disapproval, the CDC and
Parking Authority shall state in writing each of the reasons for such a disapproval. Upon receipt of
such a response, the Developer shall promptly furnish to the CDC and Parking Authority such further
information as may be reasonably requested.
703.3. Successors and Assigns. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon the Developer and its permitted successors and assigns. Whenever
the term "Developer" is used in this Agreement, such term shall include any other permitted
successors and assigns as herein provided.
703.4. Assignment by CDC and Parking Authority. The CDC and Parking
Authority may assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
approval of the Developer, provided, however, that such an assignment shall not release the CDC and
Parking Authority from any of its obligations hereunder..
704. Relationship Between CDC, Parking Authority and Developer. It is hereby
acknowledged that the relationship between the CDC, the Parking Authority and the Developer is not
that of a partnership or joint venture and that the CDC, the Parking Authority and the Developer shall
not be deemed or construed for any purpose to be the agent of the other. Accordingly, except as
expressly provided herein or in the AttachmentSTereto, the CDC and Parking Authority shall have

hereinafter referred to as the "Site," described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein,
subject to the existing easements. restrictions and covenants of record described there.
1. Reservation of Mineral Rights. CDC excepts and reserves from the conveyance
herein described all interest of the CDC in oil, gas, hydrocarbon substances and minerals of every
kind and character lying more than five hundred (500) feet below the surface, together with the right
to drill into, through, and to use and occupy all parts of the Site lying more than five hundred (500)
feet below the surface thereof for any and all purposes incidental to the exploration for and
production of oil, gas, hydrocarbon substances or minerals from said Site or other lands, but without,
however, any right to use either the surface of the Site or any portion thereof within five
hundred (500) feet of the surface for any purpose or purposes whatsoever, or to use the Site in such a
manner as to create a disturbance to the use or enjoyment of the Site.
2. Conveyance in Accordance With Redevelopment Plan, Disposition and
Development Agreement. The Site is conveyed in accordance with and subject to the
Redevelopment Plan which was approved and adopted by Ordinance No. 95-2095 of the City

generally requires the Developer to construct a mixed -use residential, retail and/or office
development comprised of 219 units on the Site, and other requirements as set forth therein (the "
Improvements"). All terms used herein shall have the same meaning as those used in the DDA.
3. Restrictions on Transfer. The Developer further agrees as follows:
(a) For the period commencing upon the date of this Grant Deed and until the
A-3
CDC's issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants as set forth in Section 310 of the DDA, no
voluntary or involuntary successor in interest of the Developer shall acquire any rights or powers
under the DDA or this Grant Deed, nor shall the Developer make any total or partial sale, transfer,
conveyance, assignment, subdivision, without the prior written approval of the CDC or as otherwise
permitted pursuant to Section 603 of the DDA.
(b) The Developer shall not place or suffer to be placed on the Site any lien or
encumbrance other than mortgages, deeds of trust, or any other form of conveyance required for
financing of the construction of the Improvements on the Site, and any other expenditures necessary
and or appropriate to develop the Site as provided in Section 310.2 of the DDA..
(c) All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Grant Deed shall be binding
upon the Developer and the permitted successors and assigns of the Developer. Whenever the term
"Developer" is used in this Grant Deed, such term shall include any other successors and assigns as
herein provided.
4. Nondiscrimination. The Developer herein covenants by and for itself, its heirs,
executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there

race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin or ancestry in the
sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the land herein conveyed, nor

number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sub lessees or vendees in the land herein
conveyed. The foregoing covenants shall run with the land.
The Developer shall refrain from restricting the rental, sale or lease of the Site on the basis of
race, color, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry or national origin of any person. All such deeds,

her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that
there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account
of race, color; creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin or ancestry in the
sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the land herein conveyed, nor
shall the grantee or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish or permit any such
practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location,
number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sub lessees or vendees in the land herein
conveyed. The foregoing covenants shall run with the land."
(b) In leases: "The lessee herein covenants by and for himself or herself, his or
her heirs; executors, administrators, and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through him or
her, and this lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions:
"That there shall be no discrimination against or
segregation of any person or group of persons, on account of
race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital
status, national origin, or ancestry in the leasing, subleasing,
transferring, use, occupancy, tenure, or enjoyment of the
premises herein leased nor shall the lessee himself or herself,
or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish
or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or

5. CDC Right of Reentry. The CDC has the right, at its election, to reenter and take
possession of the Site, with all improvements thereon, and terminate and revest in the CDC the estate
conveyed to the Developer if after the Closing and prior to the issuance of the Release of
Construction Covenants, the Developer (or its successors in interest) shall:
a. fail to start the construction of the Improvements as required by the DDA for
a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof from the CDC; or
b. abandon or substantially suspend construction of the Improvements required
by the DDA for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice thereof from the CDC; or
c. contrary to the provisions of Section 603 of the DDA transfer or suffer any
involuntary Transfer in violation of the DDA, and such transfer has not been approved by the CDC
or rescinded within thirty (30) days of notice thereof from CDC to Developer.
Such right to reenter, terminate and revest shall be subject to and be limited by and shall not

1. Any mortgage or deed of trust permitted by the DDA; or
2. Any rights or interests provided in the DDA for the protection of the holders

3. Any rights or interests held by a lessee in and to the property.
Notwithstanding the above, however, the CDC shall have no right to retake possession of
Residential Units and portions of the Site sold to individual homebuyers in the ordinary course of
business. Upon the revesting in the CDC of title to the Site as provided in this Section 5, the CDC
shall, pursuant to its responsibilities under state law, use its reasonable efforts to resell the Site as
soon and in such manner as the CDC shall find feasible and consistent with the objectives of such
law and of the Redevelopment Plan; as it exists or may be amended, to a qualified and responsible
party or parties (as determined by the CDC) who will assume the obligation of making or completing
the Improvements. or such improvements in their stead as shall be satisfactory to the CDC and in
A-3
accordance with the uses specified for the Site or part thereof in the Redevelopment Plan. Upon such
resale of the Site, the net proceeds thereof after repayment of any mortgage or deed of trust
encumbering the Site which is permitted by this Agreement, shall be applied:
i. First, to reimburse the CDC, on its own behalf or on behalf of the City, all
costs and expenses incurred by the CDC, excluding City and CDC staff costs, but specifically,
including, but not limited to, any expenditures by the CDC or the City in connection with the
recapture, management and resale of the Site or part thereof (but less any income derived by the
CDC from the Site or part thereof in connection with such management); all taxes, assessments and
water or sewer charges with respect to the Site or part thereof which the Developer has not paid (or,
in the event that Site is exempt from taxation or assessment of such charges during the period of
ownership thereof by the CDC, an amount, if paid, equal to such taxes, assessments, or charges as
would have been payable if the Site were not so exempt); any payments made or necessary to be
made to discharge any encumbrances or liens existing on the Site or part thereof at the time or
revesting of title thereto in the CDC, or to discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any
subsequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations, defaults or acts of the Developer, its successors
or transferees; any expenditures made or obligations incurred with respect to the making or
completion of the improvements or any part thereof on the Site, or part thereof; and any amounts
otherwise owing the CDC, and in the event additional proceeds are thereafter available, then
ii. Second, to reimburse the Developer, its successor or transferee, up to the
amount equal to the sum of (a) the costs incurred for the acquisition and development of the Site and
for the improvements existing on the Site at the time of the reentry and possession. Any balance
remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the CDC as its property. The rights
established in this Section 6 are not intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but
each and every such right, power, and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in
addition to any other right, power and remedy authorized herein or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity. These rights are to be interpreted in light of the fact that the CDC will have conveyed
the Site to the Developer for redevelopment purposes.
6. Violations Do Not Impair Liens. No violation or breach of the covenants,
conditions, restrictions, provisions or limitations contained in this Grant Deed shall defeat or render
invalid or in any Nvay impair the lien or charge of any mortgage or deed of trust or security interest
permitted by paragraph 4 of this Grant Deed; provided, however, that any subsequent owner of the
Site shall be bound by such remaining covenants. conditions, restrictions, limitations and provisions,
whether such owner's title was acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, trustee's sale or
otherwise.

covenants running with the land. All of Developer's obligations hereunder except as provided
hereunder shall terminate and shall become null and void upon the expiration of the Redevelopment
Plan. Every covenant contained in this Grant Deed against discrimination contained in paragraph 4
of this Grant Deed shall remain in effect in perpetuity.
S. Covenants For Benefit of CDC. All covenants without regard to technical
classification or designation shall be binding for the benefit of the CDC, and such covenants shall run
in favor of the CDC for the entire period during which such covenants shall be in force and effect,
without regard to whether the CDC is or remains an owner of any land or interest therein to which
such covenants relate. The CDC, in the event of any breach of any such covenants, shall have the
L
A-3
right to exercise all the rights and remedies and to maintain any actions at law or suits in equity dr
other proper proceedings to enforce the curing of such breach.

the right with the mutual consent of the CDC to consent and agree to changes in, or to eliminate in
whole or in part, any of the covenants, easements or restrictions contained in this Grant Deed without
the consent of any tenant, lessee; easement holder, licensee, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary under a
deed of trust or any other person or entity having any interest less than a fee in the Site. However,
Developer and CDC are obligated to give written notice to and obtain the consent of any first
mortgagee prior to consent or agreement between the parties concerning such changes to this Grant
Deed. The covenants contained in this Grant Deed, without regard to technical classification, shall
not benefit or be enforceable by any owner of any other real property within or outside the Project
Area, or any person or entity having any interest in any other such realty. No amendment to the
Redevelopment Plan shall require the consent of the Developer.

provisions of this Agreement, perfonnance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in

delays or Defaults are due to causes beyond the reasonable control or without the fault of the party
claiming an extension of time to perform, which may include the following: war; insurrection;
strikes; lockouts; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires; casualties; acts of God; acts of the public enemy;
epidemics; quarantine restrictions; freight embargoes; lack of transportation; governmental
restrictions or priority; litigation; severe weather; inability to secure necessary labor, materials or
tools; delays of any contractor, subcontractor or supplier; acts or omissions of the other party; acts or
failures to act of the City or any other public or governmental CDC or entity (other than the acts or
failures to act of the CDC which shall not excuse performance by the CDC). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an extension of time for any such cause shall be for the
period of the enforced delay and shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the
cause, if notice by the party claiming such extension is sent to the other party within thirty (30) days
of the commencement of the cause. Times of performance under this Agreement may also be
extended in writing by the mutual agreement of CDC and Developer. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, the lack of funding to complete the Improvements shall not
constitute grounds of enforced delay pursuant to this Section 10.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
A. Proposed Transaction
The Developer intends to build a mixed -use project with 209 residential condominiums;
10,000 square feet (SF) of retail space; and 320 parking spaces of which 40 spaces will
be reserved for the public (Project). The Project will be constructed on an approximate
1.43-acre site (Site) bounded by National City Boulevard, Roosevelt Avenue, 11th, and
121h Streets in Downtown National City.
The proposed transaction is detailed in the Disposition and Development Agreement
(DDA) under review as of June 27, 2005. The DDA governs the relationship between
the Commission and the Developer with respect to the proposed development of the
Site, the schedule of performance, and the method of financing. Key terms of the DDA
are summarized below.
B. Commission Responsibilities
• If the Developer has been unsuccessful in acquiring the Remaining Parcels, the
Commission and/or the Parking Authority will initiate the Site Acquisition Program.
Upon acquisition of the Remaining Parcels, the Commission and/or Parking Authority
will convey fee ownership of these parcels to the Developer at a price equal to the
price the Commission and/or the Parking Authority acquired the Remaining Parcels.
• The Commission will provide financial assistance toward acquisition costs in the
maximum amount of either $1,875,000 (Election A) or $1,300,000 (Election B). The
Developer may elect to receive either of the two forms of financial assistance, each
with difference repayment terms.
• The Commission shall provide, at the Developer's request, financial assistance in the
amount of $365,000 to construct "enhanced" National City Boulevard streetscape.
• The Commission will demolish and clear from the Site all existing above -ground and
subsurface improvements located on the Site, as well as arrange for standard utilities
to be brought to the Site.
• The Commission will cause the construction of all off -site improvements needed for
the Project, i.e., sidewalks, streets, and traffic signals.
• The Commission and/or Parking Authority will provide for the relocation of all
occupants of the Remaining Parcels in accordance with the California Relocation
Assistance Act.

C. Developer Responsibilities
• The Developer will attempt to acquire the parcels that comprise the Site through
private negotiation (Developer Parcels).
• The Developer will be responsible for the costs of the Site Acquisition Program and
the Purchase Price of the Remaining Parcels acquired by the Commission and/or
Parking Authority on behalf of the Developer. These costs include, but are not
limited to, acquisition, costs of eminent domain, goodwill, appraisals, court costs, etc.
• If the Commission provides the "Election A Assistance", the Developer will reimburse
the Commission for such assistance by payment of the following:
• Future Resale Proceeds. An amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total
proceeds of: (i) the initial and future sales of the Project's retail space; and (ii)
the sales of all the Project's residential units that occur after the original sale of
each unit. The Commission will be entitled to reimbursement for a period of 30
years following the date of the final certificate of occupancy.
• Enhanced Participation. An amount equal to 25% of the total gross sales
proceeds from the original sale of all the Project's residential units that
cumulatively exceed 20% of the Developer projected gross sales proceeds of
$85,000,000.
• If the Commission provides the "Election B Assistance", the Developer will reimburse
the Commission for such assistance by payment of Future Resale Proceeds, as
described above.

IV. ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE SITE AT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE
This section presents an analysis of the fair market value of the Site at the highest and
best use of the properties. In appraisal terminology, the highest and best use is that use
of the property, which generates the highest property value and is physically possible,
financially feasible, and legally permitted. Therefore, value at the highest and best use
is based solely on the value created and not on whether or not that use carries out the
redevelopment goals of the City of National City.
The Downtown Specific Plan governs the Site and regulates the zoning and land uses
for the Site. The Site is zoned for higher -density mid -rise multi -family residential, hotel,
or professional office development, with ground floor pedestrian -oriented retail, and a
maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 6.0. The Project as proposed does not achieve the
maximum allowable FAR due to a combination of factors such as the market risk
associated with pioneering projects, design constraints imposed by the Downtown
Specific Plan, and the cost impact associated with more than one level of subterranean
parking. On this basis, then, KMA concludes that the Project represents the highest and
best use of the Site.
Therefore, KMA concludes that the fair market value of the Site at its highest and best
use is equal to the fair re -use value, $4,991,000.

V. ESTIMATED FAIR RE -USE VALUE OF THE INTEREST TO BE CONVEYED
This section presents an analysis of the fair re -use value of the interest to be conveyed
to the Developer subject to conditions, covenants, and restrictions contained in the
proposed DDA. In estimating the fair re -use value of the Site, KMA has reviewed the
requirements that set specific conditions with respect to scope of development, the
schedule of performance, and method of financing.
It is the KMA conclusion that analysis of comparable transactions does not provide a
useful or valid approach for valuating this development opportunity due to extensive
adjustments that would be required in respect to the strength of the development
opportunity, location and configuration, and other factors. Therefore, reliance has been
placed upon the income, or the residual land value approach, which is a recognized
method for valuing real property.
Analysis of the development economics of the Project, reported separately to the
Commission by KMA, indicates that pursuant to the terms and conditions under which
the Site will be conveyed, the fair re -use value of the Site is estimated to be $4,991,000.

VI. PURCHASE PRICE WHICH THE DEVELOPER WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY
Under California Community Redevelopment Law, the Commission is obligated to
publicly disclose information sufficient for a comparison of the purchase price contained
in the proposed DDA with the estimated fair re -use value as described below.
• Land Payment. The Developer is responsible for a minimum of $80 per SF, for a
total of $4,991,000.
• Future Resale Proceeds. Table 1 depicts KMA's estimate of additional
compensation to the Commission from its participation in future sales of the
condominiums and retail space. KMA conservatively assumed market value
escalation of 3% per year; that each unit resells every seven years; and that the
retail space is resold every 10 years. These assumptions result in cumulative
payments to the Commission with a total net present value of $1,307,000, based
on a discount rate of 10.0%.
• Enhanced Participation. KMA conservatively estimates zero revenue from the gross
sales participation provision.
• Enhanced Streetscape Improvements. The Developer may elect to receive financial
assistance to construct streetscape improvements along National City Boulevard.
On this basis, then, KMA concludes that the effective compensation to the Commission
is $5,933,000, as summarized below:
Land Payment (1) $4,991,000
Add: NPV of Future Resale Proceeds $1,307,000
Add: Enhanced Participation
Total Compensation to the Commission $6,298,000
(Less) Enhanced Streetscape Improvements Contribution ($365,000)
Net Compensation to the Commission $5,933,000
(1) Assumed minimum $80 per SF, after Commission financial assistance.

VII. EXPLANATION WHY SALE OF THE PROPERTY WILL ASSIST IN THE
ELIMINATION OF BLIGHT
The Project Area is characterized by an array of blighting factors, including:
• The age, obsolescence, deterioration, mixed character, or shifting uses of existing
buildings within the Project Area.
• The subdividing and sale of lots of irregular form and shape, and inadequate size, for
proper usefulness and development.
• A prevalence of depreciated values and impaired investments, and social and
economic maladjustment.
• The defective design in character or physical condition of existing buildings.
Not all of these conditions are present throughout the Project Area. The Commission's
redevelopment efforts have successfully alleviated blighting conditions in some portions
of the Project Area. However, many of these conditions are still apparent in the area
surrounding the subject Site. Implementation of the proposed development can be
expected to assist in the alleviation of blighting conditions through the following:
• Improve the City's housing stock.
• Consolidation of irregular parcels into a site appropriate for development.
• Elimination of conditions of economic dislocation such as fragmented ownership
patterns.
• Expansion, renovation, and relocation of businesses within the Project Area.

July 19, 2005 Page 1 of 4
The Project is expected to generate approximately $455,000 in net tax increment,
$90,000 in net low -moderate income housing set -aside, and $50,000 in net sales tax on
an annual basis beginning in fiscal year 2007-2008, equating to annual revenues to the
Community Development Commission and the City of National City in the amount of
$595,000. In addition, approximately $250,000 in up -front impact fees will be assessed
to cover basic city services.
Environmental:
A Program Environmental Impact Report has been adopted for the Downtown Specific
Plan, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines. The project has been determined to be
consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan. Pursuant to Section 15182(a) of the
California Environmental Quality Act, the project is deemed exempt from further CEQA
review.
Background:
The Commission, at their meeting of October 7, 2003, selected ARE Holdings, LLC to
redevelop the block bounded by National City Boulevard, Roosevelt Avenue, 11th Street
and 12th Street. The selection followed an owner participation process, as required by
California redevelopment law and the Redevelopment Agency's Owner Participation
Rules.
ARE Holdings, LLC has proposed the mixed -use Cove at San Diego Bay project, which
consists of approximately 219 residential condominiums, 7,500 square feet of
commercial retail space, and 360 parking spaces. The project includes a tower element
of 16 stories, a mixed -use 7 story building on National City Boulevard, and two four
story buildings, one on 12th Street and one on Roosevelt Avenue. Each of these
building elements surround a central core of subterranean and podium parking, which
remains screened from public view (Exhibit 4). The project is designed to create a
village environment that complements other projects in the "Morgan Square" area
between the Police Headquarters building on the south and the Education Village
project on the north.
The development represents a total developer investment of approximately $70,000,000
and is envisioned as a major catalyst to the revitalized downtown district. As a catalyst
project, Community Development Commission staff is not recommending the inclusion
of subsidized very -low or low-income housing units in this particular development
proposal.
The Disposition and Development Agreement provides for Redevelopment Agency
and/or Parking Authority property acquisition if ARE Holdings, LLC is unsuccessful in
assembling all necessary parcels. Any costs associated with Agency acquisition will be
covered by ARE Holdings, LLC. In addition, Polanco Act indemnification is provided to
Community Development Commission
July 19, 2005 Page 2 of 4
Agenda Item No. 2
ARE Holdings, LLC for any environmental contamination that may be found during the
due diligence period.
National City Boulevard Streetscape improvements will be implemented, including
upgraded sidewalk and landscape elements, as part of the Project development. The
Community Development Commission will commit up to $365,000 for public
improvements for this purpose. In addition, ARE Holdings, LLC will have the option of
electing a Redevelopment Agency subsidy of up to $1,875,000,.based on the following
formula:
Subsidy Formula:
Within sixty (60) days of completion of acquisition and relocation activities funded by the
developer, the developer may elect to either:
a. Proceed with a subsidy from the Community Development Commission
based on acquisition and relocation costs that exceed $80/square foot,
capped at $1,875,000. The Community Development Commission will be
reimbursed for these costs through a one percent surcharge collected
upon the resale of residential units (after the initial sale and in effect for 30
years), through the same formula applied to initial and subsequent sale of
retail units, and through an additional "upside participation" formula, as
further described in the Agreement. However, if the subsidy disbursed is
$1,300,000 or less, the additional "upside participation" formula will not
apply;
b. Proceed without a subsidy from the Community Development
Commission, in which case the Project is not expected to be constructed
utilizing the State Prevailing Wage formula, except as this applies to the
construction of National City Boulevard streetscape enhancements;
c. Discontinue development and sell back to the Community Development
Commission any properties acquired, at the cost of acquisition, and
terminate the Disposition and Development Agreement.
Timing of Development:
The acquisition and relocation process is scheduled to take place as soon as possible
and conclude by early Spring 2006. Depending on the outcome of that process,
construction plans could be submitted for building permits by early 2006. Building
permits are expected to be issued by Summer 2006 with construction planned to
commence shortly thereafter. Building completion and occupancy is slated for Spring
2008. Community Development Commission staff will actively work to expedite all
phases of the project. A more detailed listing of projected dates is included in the
Schedule of Performance (Attachment No. 3 to the Disposition and Development
Agreement).
