SECTION 1. CEQA. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines, declares and ordain as follows:
Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the record, including but not
limited to the 1983 EIR, the 1996 Addendum, and the 2019 Addendum, the City
Council finds that an addendum is the appropriate document for disclosing the
changes to the MainPlace Mall Property, and that none of the conditions
identified in Public Resources Code section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines
section 15162 requiring subsequent environmental review have occurred,
because:
A. The MainPlace Project does not constitute a substantial change
that would require major revisions of the 1983 EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects.
B. There is not a substantial change with respect to the circumstances
under which the MainPlace Project will be developed that would
require major revisions of the 1983 EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of the previously identified significant effects.
C. New information of substantial importance has not been presented
that was not known and could not have been known with the
exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the 1983 EIR was
certified or adopted, showing any of the following: (i) that the
modifications would have one or more significant effects not
discussed in the earlier environmental documentation; (ii) that
significant effects previously examined would be substantially more
severe than shown in the earlier environmental documentation; (iii)
that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects, but the applicant declined to adopt
such measures; or (iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives
considerably different from those analyzed previously would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but which the applicant declined to adopt.

(ii) Pays to the City a fee of $250,000.00.
2.4.4. When the Term, including any authorized extension thereof, ends, Owner shall
have no vested right under this Agreement, regardless of whether or not Owner has paid any
Development Impact Fee.
2.4.5. If any party other than Owner initiates litigation that challenges the Project, this
Agreement (and/or the ordinance approving this Agreement), or any of the Existing Project
Approvals, the Owner will have the right to toll commencement of the Term and any obligations
of Owner under this Agreement during the period of such litigation. The tolling shall commence
upon receipt by the City of written notice from Owner invoking this right to tolling. The tolling
shall terminate when the action, including any appeal, is finally resolved, whether by entry of a
final, non -appealable judgment that upholds the Project and the Existing Project Approvals or
voluntary or involuntary dismissal of the entire action (and the passage of time required to
appeal an involuntary dismissal). Owner shall similarly have the right to toll commencement of
the Term and any obligations of Owner under the Agreement in the event a referendum petition
challenging the Project, the ordinance approving this Agreement, or any of the Project Approvals
is submitted to the Citv Clerk. The tolling shall terminate if and when: (1) the Citv Clerk
11 B-19
determines the referendum petition did not receive sufficient signatures to qualify for the ballot;
(2) the City Council rescinds the challenged action; or (3) the election results of the referendum
are certified by the City Council.
2.5. Assignment.
2.5.1. Right to Assign. Owner shall have the right to sell, transfer or assign the
Property in whole or in part (provided that no such partial transfer shall violate the Subdivision
Map Act, Government Code Section 66410, et sec.) to any person, partnership, joint venture,
firm, limited liability company, or corporation at any time during the term of this Agreement;
provided, however, that any such sale, transfer or assignment shall include the assignment and
assumption of the rights, duties and obligations arising under or from this Agreement and be
made in strict compliance with the following conditions precedent:
(a) No sale, transfer or assignment of any right or interest under this
Agreement shall be made unless made together with the sale, transfer or assignment of all or a
part of the Property to which such rights or interests apply.
(b) Before with any such sale, transfer or assignment:
(i) Owner shall notify City, in writing, of such sale, transfer or
assignment and shall provide City with an executed agreement ("Assignment and Assumption
Agreement"), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, by the purchaser, transferee
or assignee and providing therein that the purchaser, transferee or assignee expressly and
unconditionally assumes all the duties, obligations, agreements, covenants, waivers of Owner
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants not to sue and waivers
contained in Sections 6.2 and 7.4 hereof.
(ii) Owner shall also provide City with such information reasonably
requested by City that demonstrates to City's reasonable satisfaction such transferee or assignee
has sufficient development experience and financial capability to complete the Project and
perform all obligations assumed.
(c) Any sale, transfer or assignment not made in strict compliance with the
foregoing conditions shall constitute a default by Owner under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the failure of any purchaser, transferee or assignee to execute the agreement required by this
subsection 2.5.1(c)(i), the burdens of this Agreement shall be binding upon such purchaser,
transferee or assignee, but the benefits of this Agreement shall not inure to such purchaser,
transferee or assignee until and unless such agreement is executed.
(d) The Executive Director for the Planning and Building Agency shall have
the administrative authority to determine that Owner has complied with the above conditions.
Such determination shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
2.5.2. Release of Transferring Owner. Notwithstanding any sale, transfer or
assignment, a transferring Owner shall continue to be obligated under this Agreement with
respect to the transferred Property or any transferred portion thereof, unless such transferring
Owner is given a release in writing by City, which release shall be provided by City upon the
full satisfaction by such transferring Owner of the following conditions:
-7-
11 B-20
(a) Owner is not then in default under this Agreement.
(b) Owner has complied with Section 2.5.1 above.
(c) The purchaser, transferee or assignee provides City with security
equivalent to any security previously provided by Owner to secure performance of its obligations
hereunder.
2.5.3, Subsequent Assignment. Any subsequent sale, transfer or assignment after an
initial sale, transfer or assignment shall be made only in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions of this Section 2.5.
2.6. Utilities. The Project shall be connected to all utilities necessary to provide adequate
water, sewer, gas, electric, and other utility service to the Project, prior to the issuance of final
approval for occupancy or the certificate of occupancy for any portion of the Project.
2.7. Sale to Public and Completion of Constntction. The provisions of Section 2.5.1 shall not
apply to the sale or lease (for a period longer than one year) of any residential lot or unit that
has been finally subdivided and is individually (and not in "bulb') sold or leased to a member of
the public. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any residential lot or unit and such lot
shall be released and no longer be subject to this Agreement without the execution or recordation
of any further document upon satisfaction of both of the following conditions:
2.7.L The residential lot or unit has been finally subdivided and individually (and not
in "bulk") sold or leased (for a period longer than one year) to a member of the public; and
2.7.2. City final approval for occupancy or the certificate of occupancy has been
issued for a building on the lot, and the fees for such lot set forth in this Agreement have been
paid.
2.8. Administrative Changes and Modifications.
2.8.1. Owner and City acknowledge that further planning and development of the
Project may demonstrate that refinements and changes are appropriate with respect to the details
and performance of the parties under this Agreement. The Parties desire to retain a certain
degree of flexibility with respect to the details of the Project development and with respect to
those items covered in general terms under this Agreement, the Existing Project Approvals, the
Existing Land Use Regulations, and, once issued, any Future Project Approvals.
2.8.2. If and when the parties find that "Substantially Conforming Changes," as herein
defined, are necessary, desirable or appropriate, they may, unless otherwise required by law,
effectuate such changes or adjustments through an administrative operating memorandum that is
executed by the Owner and the Executive Director of the City's Planning and Building Agency
or the Director's designee. As used herein, a "Substantially Conforming Change' is a minor
change, modification, or adjustment that is deemed to be in substantial conformance under the
Development Plan. A Substantially Conforming Change is not considered an amendment to this
Agreement or to Development Plan, and so does not require prior notice or hearing by the
Planning Commission or City Council.
2.9. Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement. Except for Substantially Conforming
Changes as defined by Section 2.8.2 above, this Agreement may be amended or modified from
-8-
11 B-21
time to time only with the written consent of Owner and the City or their successors and assigns,
and only upon approval of an amendment by the City Council after a public hearing in
accordance with Government Code Section 65868. This provision shall not limit any remedy of
City or Owner as provided by this Agreement.
2.10. Termination. This Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no further effect upon
the occurrence of any of the following events:
2.10.1. Expiration of the stated Term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 2.4.
2.10.2. Entry of a final judgment setting aside, voiding or annulling the adoption of the
ordinance approving this Agreement.
2.10.3. The adoption of a referendum measure overriding or repealing the ordinance
approving this Agreement. In the event a referendum petition challenging the ordinance
approving this Agreement is submitted to the City Clerk, Owner shall deposit with the City Ten
Thousand Dollars ($10,000) ("Petition Deposit") to cover the actual cost incurred by the City
examining the petition and verifying signatures. Should the referendum qualify for the ballot,
Owner may request, at or prior to the Council meeting at which the Council will take up the
referendum issue, that the City Council repeal the ordinance, rather than submitting it to the
voters. If Owner does not request that the City Council repeal the ordinance, and the City
Council submits the ordinance to the voters, Owner shall deposit Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000) ("Referendum Deposit") with the City. City may use the funds to pay any and all
costs associated with the said referendum measure. Any funds remaining in the Petition Deposit
may be put toward the Referendum Deposit at the Owner's request. If at any time the
Referendum Deposit account has Five Thousand Dollars ($5000) or less remaining, Owner shall,
within three (3) days of receiving notice from the City, deposit with the City additional funds as
requested by the City to cover all costs and expenses associated with the referendum and holding
the related election. Following certification of the election results, any funds remaining in the
Petition Deposit or the Referendum Deposit account shall be returned to the Owner. In the event
Owner requests that the City Council repeal the ordinance and the City Council nonetheless
determines to submit the ordinance to the voters, Owner shall have no responsibility for the costs
associated with holding the election.
2.10.4. Completion of the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
including issuance of all required occupancy permits, final approval for occupancy by the City,
and acceptance by City or applicable public agency of all required dedications.
2.10.5. Termination of the Agreement as provided in Sections 6.3 or 6.4 herein.
Termination of this Agreement shall not constitute termination of any other land use entitlements
approved for the Property. Upon the termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any
further right or obligation hereunder except with respect to any obligation to have been
performed prior to such termination or with respect to any default in the performance of the
provisions of this Agreement that has occurred prior to such termination or with respect to any
obligations that are specifically set forth as surviving this Agreement. Upon such termination,
any Development Impact Fees paid by Owner to City for residential units on which construction
has not yet begun shall be refunded to Owner by City.
2.11. Notices.

2.11.1. As used in this Agreement, "notice" includes, but is not limited to, the
communication of notice, request, demand, approval, statement, report, acceptance, consent,

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
11 B-23
3.1. Rights to Develop. Subject to the teens of this Agreement including the Reservation of
Rights in Section 3.3 below, Owner shall have a vested right to develop the Property in
accordance with, and to the extent of, this Agreement and the Project Approvals.
3.1.1. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, the Project shall remain subject
to all Existing Land Use Regulations and Project Approvals. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, and notwithstanding the authority of the City to further revise the Land Use
Regulations pursuant to Government Code section 65866, the permitted uses of the Property, the
density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions
for reservation and dedication of land for public purposes shall be those set forth in the Existing
Land Use Regulations and Project Approvals.
3.1.2. In accordance with Government Code Section 66452.6(a), any tentative map
approved which relates to all or a portion of the Property shall be extended for the greater of (i)
the Tenn of this Agreement or (ii) expiration of the tentative map pursuant to Section 66452.6.
3.1.3. Owner shall comply with all mitigation measures required to be undertaken
pursuant to any document prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
with respect to the Project.
3.1.4. Notwithstanding Section 3.1.1 above, Owner acknowledges and agrees that the
Project requires additional Project Approvals (the Future Project Approvals identified in Section
1.1.13). These Future Project Approvals shall be consistent with the Existing Project Approvals
and this Agreement as to the permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the
maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation and dedication of
land for public purposes; however the Future Project Approvals may include additional
conditions that are lawful and appropriate to the type of Project Approval.
3.2. Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations. Except as otherwise provided under the
terms of this Agreement including the Reservation of Rights in Section 3.3 below, the rules,
regulations and official policies governing permitted uses of the Property, the density and
intensity of use of the Property, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and the
design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to development of
the Property shall be the Existing Land Use Regulations and Project Approvals. In connection
with any subsequently adopted Project Approvals and except as specifically provided otherwise
herein, City may exercise its discretion in accordance with the Land Use Regulations then in
effect, as provided by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Reservation of Rights.
City shall accept for processing, review, and take action on all applications for subsequent
Project Approvals, and such applications shall be processed in the same manner and the City
shall exercise its discretion, when required or authorized to do so, to the same extent it would
otherwise be entitled in the absence of this Agreement.
3.2.1. City shall reasonably strive to complete:
(a) its initial review of individual development projects within 30 days after
the application is deemed complete,
(b) any second plan review within 15 days after submission, and
(c) any third plan review within 10 days after submission.
11 B-24
3.2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City does not guarantee that the timelines
above will be met, and failure to meet these timelines does not constitute a default.
3.2.3. To help ensure expedited review of its development approvals, Owner may elect
to pay for City to use a contract planner. City agrees to retain a contract planner to expedite
review, if Owner so elects.
3.3. Reservation of Rights.
3.3.1. Limitations. Reservations and Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the following are not Existing Land Use Regulations, but shall apply to the
development of the Property as they are established at the time of application, provided such
regulations and/or fees (as applicable) are not designed in a manner such that they are
applicable only to the Project and/or Property:
(a) Processing fees and charges of every kind and nature imposed by City to
cover the actual costs to City of processing applications for Project Approvals or for monitoring
compliance with any Project Approvals granted or issued.
(b) Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications,
notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals and any other matter of
procedure.
(c) Regulations, policies and rules governing engineering and construction
standards and specifications applicable to public and private improvements, including, without
limitation, all uniform codes adopted by the City and any local amendments to those codes
adapted by the City, including, without limitation, the City's Building Code, Plumbing Code,
Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, and Grading Ordinance.
(d) Regulations that are in material conflict with this Agreement but that are
reasonably necessary to protect the residents of the Project or the immediate community from a
condition perilous to their health or safety. To the extent possible, any such regulations shall be
applied and construed so as to provide Owner with the rights and assurances provided under this
Agreement.
(e) Regulations that are not in material conflict with this Agreement or the
Development Plan. Any regulation, whether adopted by initiative or otherwise, limiting the rate
or timing of development of the Property shall be deemed to materially conflict with the
Development Plan and shall therefore not be applicable to the development of the Property.
(0 Regulations that are in material conflict with the Development Plan;
provided Owner has given written consent to the application of such regulations to development
of the Property.
(g) Regulations that impose, levy, alter or amend fees, or charges relating to
consumers or end users, including, without limitation, trash can placement, service charges and
limitations on vehicle parking.
(h) Regulations of other public agencies, including Development Impact
Fees adopted or imposed by such other public agencies, although collected by City.
HIPA
11 B-25
3.3.2. Subsequent Project Approvals. This Agreement shall not prevent City, in acting
on subsequent Project Approvals and to the same extent it would otherwise be authorized to do
so absent this Agreement, from applying subsequently adopted or amended Land Use
Regulations that do not materially conflict with this Agreement.
3.3.3. Modification or Suspension by State or Federal Law. In the event that State,
County or Federal laws or regulations, enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement,
prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, such
provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with
such State or Federal laws or regulations; provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the
extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions impractical to enforce.
3.3.4. Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that City is restricted in its authority
to limit certain aspects of its police power by contract and that the foregoing limitations,
reservations and exceptions are intended to reserve to City all of its police power that cannot be
or are not expressly so limited. This Agreement shall be construed, contrary to its stated terms if
necessary, to reserve to City all such power and authority that cannot be or is not by this
Agreement's express terms so restricted.
3.4. Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that other public
agencies not within the control of City may possess authority to regulate aspects of the
development of the Property separately from or jointly with City and this Agreement does not
limit the authority of such other public agencies.
3.5. Timing of Development. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee
Consavction Co, v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal. 3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties in
that case to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later -adopted initiative restricting
the timing of development to prevail over the parties' agreement, it is the specific intent of the
Parties to provide for the timing of the Project in this Agreement. To do so, the Parties
acknowledge and provide that Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to complete the
Project in such order, at such rate, at such times, and in as many development phases and sub -
phases as Owner deems appropriate in its sole subjective business judgment, except for the
following:
3.5.1. The building permit for residential units 401 up to 820 may not be issued until
Owner commences construction activities for all development components on the Property
described in Section 2A.2(a). For purposes of this section, "commences" shall include the
Owner having paid all required Development Impact Fees, been issued a building permit, and
performed construction activity on the site. However, in the event Owner determines to proceed
with a mixed -use development that includes residential, as well as a commercial component of
not less than 20,000 square feet, the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence shall not
apply.
3.5.2. The building pcnmit for the 821th residential unit may not be issued until at least
200,000 square feet of net new non-residential development, excluding office space, on the
Property has commenced construction.
l3-
11 B-26
3.5.3. The building permit for the 1350th residential unit may not be issued until at
least 400,000 square feet of net new non-residential development, excluding office space, on the
Property has commenced construction
3.6. Property Maintenance Agreement.
3.6. L Owner shall, as required by the Conditions of Approval, enter into a Property
Maintenance Agreement which shall include:
(a) A Parking Management Plan; and
(b) A Property Maintenance Plan.
3.7. Moratoria. Except as specifically set forth in this section, City agrees that to the extent
permitted by law, no moratorium or other similar limitation (whether relating to the rate, timing,
or sequencing of the development of the Project or any part thereof and whether or not enacted
by local initiative or otherwise) affecting subdivision maps, grading or building permits,
occupancy certificates, or other entitlements approved, issued, or granted within the City, after
the Effective Date of this Agreement, shall apply to the Project. Owner acknowledges and agrees
that the provisions hereof shall not preclude the application to the Project of a moratorium or
other similar limitation (of the type described in the preceding sentence) enacted in order to
protect an imminent threat to the public health or safety.
3.8. Development Agreemcnt/Proiect Approvals. In the event of any inconsistency between
any Existing Land Use Regulation and a Project Approval, the provisions of the Project
Approval shall control. In the event of any inconsistency between any Existing Land Use
Regulation or Project Approval and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control.
4. PUBLIC BENEFITS.
4.1. Public Benefits. The Project is expected to bring significant fiscal benefits to the City.
The Project will also serve to implement the City's General Plan vision for the Property, which
has long been designated as a District Center, where relatively intense mixed -use development is
encouraged. In addition, Owner has committed by this Agreement to contribute to the
acquisition, construction and maintenance of certain "Public Benefits" as provided below.

eighty (180) days before final approval for occupancy or the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy, a public art plan that is consistent with Chapter 15 of the Citywide Design
Guidelines, Public Art Guidelines. Although Owner anticipates satisfying all or most of the
entire Public Art requirement early in the implementation of the Project, this requirement shall be
satisfied as long as art with a value equivalent to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the
completed portion of the Project has been installed prior to final approval for occupancv or the
M
11 B-27
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for that portion of the Project.

common -area expenses).
(h) As part of its obligation to provide Public Art, Owner shall provide at
least two water features in public areas of the Project (which include public areas of the
enclosed mall), one of which may be a splash pad, if Owner determines the installation and
maintenance of a splash pad to be feasible and desirable.
(i) Owner shall include at least one high -end food court (i.e., "food hall')
area of the Project and shall endeavor to ensure that at least ten percent (10%) of the leasable
square footage is occupied by new, local food vendors, to the extent reasonably feasible.

4.1.3. Graffiti Removal. Owner shall also install and maintain graffiti protection on
new surfaces and shall, within 48 hours of discovery of graffiti, cause it to be removed and
associated restorations completed throughout the Project.
4.2. Local Live -Work Preference. Prior to issuance of any building permits, Owner shall
develop and submit to the City Manager or the City Manager's designee, a local live -work plan
for the Project targeting, to the extent feasible and consistent with state and federal fair housing
laws, a preference or priority for persons who currently either live or work in the City of Santa
Ana for the rental or sale of residential units at the Project.
4.3. Local Sourcing Plan. Owner agrees to make a good -faith effort to encourage contractors
and suppliers to hire and procure locally, to the extent that it is cost effective and does not delay
the overall project development schedule.
5. REVIEW FOR COMPLIANCE.
5.1. Periodic Review.
5.1.1. The City shall review this Agreement annually, on or before the anniversary of
the Effective Date, in order to ascertain the compliance by Owner with the terms of this
Agreement ("Annual Review'). Owner shall submit an Annual Monitoring Report, in a form
acceptable to the City Manager, within thirty (30) days after written notice from the City
Manager. The failure of the City to conduct the Annual Review shall not constitute a default by
Owner. The Annual Monitoring Report shall be accompanied by an "Annual Review and
Administration Fee" sufficient to defray the estimated costs of review and administration of the
Agreement during the succeeding year. The amount of the Annual Review and Administration
Fee" shall be set annually by resolution of the City Council.
