Exhibit A: Draft Development Aqreement
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
1.0 Recitals
1.1 Legal Authori1y for a Develop -9 Pursuant to California
Government Code sections 65864-65869.5 (the "Development Agreement
Statute") the City of Atascadero ("City") hereby enters into this Development
Agreement (hereinafter "Agreement") with Scott Newton ("Owner"). The
effective date of this Agreement ("Effective Date") shall be the 31 St day following
the date on which the ordinance approving this Agreement is adopted by City.
1.2 Owner's Interest. Owner currently holds a legal and/or equitable interest in
certain real property located within the City, consisting of approximately 4.32
acres in two legal parcels, and as more particularly described in Exhibit "A" (the
"Property"). Owner proposes to develop the Property with a maximum of 42
residential units, with a height of no more than 30 feet with an additional four
feet for architectural and enhanced roof design elements, however configured,
with associated improvements, drainage and flood control facilities, and
modification of a drainage channel on the Property to provide flood control and
habitat enhancement (the "Project;" the Project is shown and described in more
detail in the plans attached as Exhibit "B"). The Project shall meet all applicable
local, state, and federal requirements unless specifically detailed in this
Agreement, including Objective Design Standards approved by the City on June
25, 2024.
1.3 Project Approvals. In connection with the Project, Owner submitted an
application on August 20, 2024, which may eventually include a General Plan
Amendment ("GPA") and a Zoning Change, to accommodate the Project, as well
as a request for processing of this Development Agreement, which Agreement
was approved by the City on December 10, 2024 ("Project Approvals").
1.4Scope of Project Approvals. The permitted uses of the Property, the maximum
density and intensity of use, the maximum height, bulk and size of proposed
buildings, provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes
and location and maintenance of on-site and off-site improvements, location of
public utilities, and other terms and conditions of development applicable to the
Property, shall be those set forth in this Agreement, the Project Approvals, any
amendments to this Agreement or the Project Approvals, and Applicable Rules
as defined herein.
2.0 Benefits
2.1 City. Under the policies, ordinances and regulations in effect at the time Owner
submitted the application for the Project, the City was faced with litigation over the
development of the Property, the suitability of the existing zoning and General Plan
designations, and the development allowed on the Property under the then -existing zoning.
The Project described in this Development Agreement provides needed housing for the
City, flood control measures, and necessary street improvements to an important City
Gateway parcel.
2.2 Owner. Under the ordinances and regulations in existence at the time the Owner
submitted the application for the Project, Owner's right to proceed would not fully vest until
recordation of final maps and commencement of substantial construction; however, as
noted herein, Owner was unwilling to dismiss the litigation without the City's processing of
this Agreement. Owner benefitted because such Project Approvals could be immediately
vested, and Owner was willing to dismiss the litigation and provide such other benefits to
the City as set forth herein.
3.0 Obligations of Parties.
3.1 City. The City agrees that:
3.1 .1 Pursuant to this Agreement, Owner has a vested right to develop the Property and
the Project in accordance with the policies, rules and regulations of the City in effect on
December 10, 2024 ("Applicable Rules"). As set forth herein, "Applicable Rules" shall
include, but not be limited to all state and federal statutory and regulatory provisions
governing use of the Property, the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") the
environmental mitigation measures required for the Project attached as Exhibit C. and the
rules, regulations and official policies of City, including the plans, municipal codes,
ordinances, resolutions and other local laws, regulations, fees and policies of City in force
and effect on the Effective Date. Owner agrees to participate in and vote to approve the
annexation to the City's Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Public Services) prior to
2
issuance of any residential permit or recordation of any subsequent subdivision map,
whichever occurs first.
3.1.2 Subject to the City's exercise of its police power authority and applicable
Limitations on development agreements in state law, the Owner shall have a vested right to:
(i) receive from the City all future development approvals for the Property that are
consistent with the Project Approvals; (ii) not have such approvals be conditioned or
delayed for reasons which are inconsistent with this Development Agreement; and (iii)
develop the Property in a manner consistent with such future development approvals in
accordance with this Development Agreement. Any future development approvals for the
Property, including without limitation general plan amendments, zoning changes, or parcel
maps or tract maps, shall upon approval of the City be vested in the same manner as
provided in this Development Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Owner
retains the right to apportion the uses, intensities and densities, between itself and any
other owners of the Property, upon the sale, transfer or assignment of any portion of the
Property, so long as such apportionment is consistent with the future entitlements
obtained from the City, and this Development Agreement.
3.1.3 City may apply to the Project and the Property any rule, regulation or official policy
of City (including any plan, municipal code, ordinance, resolution or other local law,
regulation, capital facility fee or policy of City) (each a "City Law") that does not conflict
with Applicable Rules or this Agreement. City shall not, however, without the written
consent of Owner apply to the Project or the Property (whether by initiative, referendum,
imposition of mitigation measures not otherwise required under CEQA or otherwise) any
City Law that is in conflict with the Applicable Rules or this Agreement.
3.1.4 Under this Agreement, Owner has a vested right to develop the Project in
accordance with this Agreement, the Applicable Rules, and in accordance with the Project
Approvals for the Project as described herein, for ten (10) years from the Effective Date of
this Agreement ("Term") unless this Term is otherwise terminated or extended as set forth
in this Agreement. If any person not party to this Agreement institutes any administrative,
Legal, or equitable action or other proceeding challenging the validity of any provision of
this Agreement, the Term shall be extended for the period of time required for the
administrative, legal, or equitable action or other proceeding to come to a conclusion.
3.1.5 The City and Owner intend that Owner shall have such rights to develop the Project
in accordance with the Project Approvals to the full extent provided for in the Development
3
Agreement Statute and case law construing or interpreting Development Agreements,
except as expressly modified by this Agreement.
3.1.6 This Agreement shall be subject to all the requirements and obligations of a
Development Agreement under the Development Agreement Statute. Nothing herein shall
prevent City from applying to the Project standards contained in uniform building,
construction, fire or other uniform codes, as the same may be adopted or amended from
time to time by City, provided that the provisions of any such uniform code shall: (i) Apply to
the Project only to the extent that such code is in effect on a City-wide basis; and (ii) With
respect to those portions of any such uniform code that have been adopted by City without
amendment, be interpreted and applied consistently with the generally prevailing
interpretation and application of such code in California. Nothing herein shall prevent City
from applying to the Project those standards and specifications for public improvements
(e.g., streets, storm drainage, parking lots, and driveway widths) that are in effect on a City-
wide basis, as they are adopted or amended from time to time by City, provided that such
standards and specifications shall apply to the Project and the Property only to the extent
that they are in effect on a City-wide basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Owner
shall not be required to modify the existing drainage culvert beneath Viejo Camino unless
required by applicable state and/or federal agencies.
3.1.7 City agrees that all impact fees within the control of the City shall be those in effect
on the earlier of (a) the effective date of the ordinance approving this Agreement, or (b) the
date on which a complete preliminary application is submitted pursuant to Government
Code Section 65941.1(a). The impact fees shall be subject to annual adjustment each July
1 during the Term of the Development Agreement by the greater of the CPI -U, Los Angeles -
Long Beach -Anaheim, All Urban Consumers, All Items. Owner shall pay any plan check
and inspection fees in effect at the time of permit application(s) with exception of any in -
lieu affordable housing fees or development agreement processing fees, or requirement of
affordable housing units, which are expressly waived under the terms of this Agreement.
3.1.8 Due to the anticipated affordability of units within the Project, the City agrees that
affordable housing shall not be required, and no affordable housing in lieu fees shall be
assessed against the Projector Owner.
3.1.9 Due to the nature of the project, the City agrees that no traffic improvements shall
be required except as required by this Agreement or as maybe required to comply with
CEQA.

3.1.10 City will allow a grading permit and realignment of the waterway before submittal of
the development application upon receipt of approvals for waterway realignment from
applicable state and/or federal agencies.
3.1.11 City Owner may request expedited processing for all construction and building
permits at the rates established in the City's master fee schedule and/or direct charges
from the outside consulting plan checkers.
3.2 Owner. Owner agrees to the following restrictions and conditions on the Project:
3.2.1 Owner will dismiss the litigation within five business days after the effective date of
the ordinance approving this Development Agreement. Owner further agrees to develop
the Project in substantial conformity with the application already submitted.
3.2.2 The floodway shall be retained and the creek shall be designed as a natural feature
and site amenity. If the creek is realigned, the project shall maintain a naturalized creek
alignment and remap the floodway through FEMA. No channelization of the creek is
allowed through the use of concrete armoring or other man-made structures. Pursuant to
Policy 8.2 of the General Plan, all habitable structures on-site shall maintain a minimum
20 -foot setback from the top of bank, or shall be located outside the mapped floodway,
whichever is greater. All other structures shall maintain a minimum 10 -foot setback from
the top of bank.
3.2.3 Owner shall submit the Project's flood control measures and drainage channel
improvements on the Property to the California Department of Fish & Wildlife ("CDFW")
and other appropriate state and federal agencies, as necessary. Owner shall comply with
all requirements imposed and permits issued by such state and federal agencies for flood
control measures, drainage channel improvements, and biological remediation on the
Property. City shall not require any modifications to the approvals issued by any state
and/or federal agencies.
3.2.4 A hydrology/hydrological drainage report prepared by a licensed civil engineer is
required that demonstrates compliance with stormwater runoff rate control and post -
construction requirements and that no negative impacts will occur to downstream,
upstream, and adjacent properties at time of project submittal.
3.2.5 Access shall be from Viejo Camino and shall align with Bocina Lane to the greatest
extent feasible, or other location mutually agreed upon by the City and Owner.
5
3.2.6 Frontage improvements shall be required on Viejo Camino to include concrete curb,
gutter, and sidewalk (5 -ft.) to accommodate the existing bike lane (5 -ft.).
3.2.7 Street trees will be provided at a maximum spacing of 30 -feet on -center to be
planted behind sidewalk along Viejo Camino, and along El Camino Real outside the City's
current right-of-way. Naturalized tree groupings may be permitted at a distance greater
than 30 feet.
3.2.8 The project will design and construct and dedicate a vehicular access and public
utilities easement for city maintenance needs unless alternative access to manholes is
provided through circulation design of the project. If the easement remains the primary city
access, the accessway must be constructed of base and built to carry the weight of the
City's sewer cleaning truck. Owner shall dedicate an additional five-foot wide easement
immediately adjoining the existing easement, on the southern Property boundary line, to
ensure the City has unobstructed access to the existing easement once the floodway
realignment has occurred. Owner agrees that the top of bank of the realigned floodway
shall be a minimum of seven and one-half (7.5) feet from the City's existing sewer line in the
easement.
3.2.9 All new and relocated utilities on the Project site will be undergrounded.
3.2.10 A pedestrian connection across the creek shall be provided internal to the project.
3.2.11 Creek crossings for both vehicles and pedestrians may utilize precast concrete or
HDPC culverts and will not be deemed as "channelization."
3.2.12 Except as set forth in Section 4.1, Owner agrees that he shall not develop the
Property with more than 42 residential units, nor shall he apply for a density bonus or other
waivers, incentives or concessions pursuant to Government Code Section 65915 or
subsequently adopted similar statutes that require a public agency to grant density
bonuses for specified reasons.
3.2.13 Owner acknowledges and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Agreement
specifically permit City in some instances to impose requirements upon the Project that
City would not otherwise be able to impose due to a lack of nexus, rough proportionality or
reasonable relationship between the Project and such requirement or other reasons. To the
extent any such requirement is imposed by City upon the Project consistently with the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, Owner waives any right to challenge the
imposition of such requirement by City.
Ro
4.0 Project Development
4.1 Conflicting enactments. Except as otherwise provided herein, any change in the
Applicable Rules, including, without limitation, any change in any applicable general, area
or specific plan, zoning, subdivision or building regulation, adopted or becoming effective
after the Effective Date, including, without limitation, any such change by means of an
ordinance, initiative, resolution, policy, order or moratorium, initiated or instituted for any
reason whatsoever and adopted by the City Council, the Planning Commission or any other
board, commission or department of City, or any officer or employee thereof, or by the
electorate, as the case may be, which would, absent this Agreement, otherwise be
applicable to the Project and which would conflict in any way with, be more restrictive, or
impose greater obligations or burdens on Owner, than the Applicable Rules ("Subsequent
Rules"), shall not be applied by City unless both Owner and City consent in writing.
However, should subsequent City action result in an increase in allowable density, and the
Project has not been completed, the increased density shall apply to the Project.
4.2 Expiration. Following the expiration of the ten-year Term of this Agreement, this
agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no further force and effect except as to
actions arising from enforcement of its terms during the Term; provided, however, such
termination shall not affect any right or duty arising from City approvals, and provided that
any ongoing construction work being performed pursuant to the Project Approvals shall be
allowed to be completed pursuant to the Applicable Rules notwithstanding the termination
of this Agreement.
4.3 Term of Maps and Other Project Approvals. Pursuant to California Government Code
Sections 66452.6(a) and 65863.9, the term of any subdivision or parcel map that may be
processed on all or any portion of the Project, and the term of each of the Project Approvals
shall be extended for a period of time equal to the Term of this Agreement as set forth in
Section 3.1.4.
4.4 Timin-of Development. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee
Construction Co. v. County of Camarillo (1984), 37 Cal.3d 465, that failure of the parties
therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later -adopted initiative
restricting the timing of development to prevail over such parties' agreement, it is the
parties' intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that Owner shall
have the right (without obligation) to develop portions of the Project in such order and at
such rate and at such times as Owner deems appropriate within the exercise of its
7
subjective business judgment. City shall not attempt to limit or restrict the timing of
development of the Project except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
4.5 Owner shall complete the Project not later than twelve (12) years after the Effective
Date. Should Owner fail to complete construction on the Project within this time period,
absent an agreed-upon extension of this Agreement, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld by City, Owner's right to develop the Property as set forth herein shall lapse and
be of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.2, this
section shall survive any termination of the Agreement.
4.6 Moratoria/Initiatives. No City -imposed moratorium or other limitation relating to the
rate, timing or sequencing of the development or construction of all or any part of the
Project, whether imposed by ordinance, initiative, resolution, policy, order or otherwise,
and whether enacted by the City Council, the Planning Commission, an agency of City, the
electorate, or otherwise, affecting parcel or subdivision maps (whether tentative, vesting
tentative or final), building permits, occupancy certificates or other entitlements to use or
service (including, without limitation, water and sewer unless such water or sewer
moratoria or other limitations are imposed City-wide to protect the public health, safety
and welfare) approved, issued or granted within City, or portions of City, shall apply to the
Project.
4.7 Vesting of Owner's Rights. The rights to the Applicable Rules and entitlements
pursuant to Project Approvals granted to Owner pursuant to this Agreement shall be and
constitute "vested rights" or the equivalent of "vested rights" applicable to the
development of land and property and the right of a public entity to regulate or control such
development of land or property, including, without limitation, vested rights to Land use
permits, building permits and certificates of occupancy consistent therewith, unless the
City determines that failure to apply a new ordinance or regulation would place the
residents of the Project or other residents of the City in a condition of substantial danger to
their health or safety, or both. In such an instance, the City may condition or deny an
entitlement, permit, extension or approval as may be necessary to comply with Later
enacted State or Federal laws regulations.
4.8 Future Amendments. In the future, there may be a need to make minor changes to
the Modified Project Approvals, which minor changes will not significantly modify the
Project, and which may be required to properly implement the Project Approvals. The
parties agree that such minor modifications shall not be considered amendments to this
Agreement, and they shall be allowed on approval of the Planning Director without notice
:,
and public hearings, or placement upon the agenda of the Planning Commission or the City
Council. "Minor modification" is defined as any modification to the Project which will just in
cost increases of less than $250,000.00, or any mutually agreed upon modification.
4.9 Cooperation. The provisions of this Agreement require a close degree of good faith
cooperation between the City and Owner. Implementation of the Project may require minor
modifications of the details of the Project and affect the performance of the parties to this
Agreement. The anticipated refinements of the Project and the development of the
Property may require that appropriate clarifications and refinements are made to this
Agreement with respect to the details of the performance of the City and the Owner which
shall be considered by both parties in good faith. The parties desire to retain a certain
degree of flexibilitywith respect to those items covered in general terms under this
Agreement so long as the exercise of such flexibility does not result in a material change to
either of the parties' reasonable expectations consistent with the purpose of this
Agreement. Except as the parties may otherwise agree, no amendment of this
Development Agreement shall be required in connection with the issuance of any future
Project approval.
5.0 Cooperation of I_m_plementati�( n._
5.1 Further Assurances: Covenants to Sign Documents. Each party shall take all actions
and do all things, and execute, with acknowledgment or affidavit, if required, any and all
documents and writings, that may be necessary or proper to achieve the purposes and
objectives of this Agreement.
5.2 Processing by City. Upon satisfactory completion by Owner of all required
preliminary actions and payments of appropriate processing fees, if any, City shall process
the Project subject to all legal requirements, initiate process, complete at a reasonable
time all required steps, and grant ministerial approvals or permits necessary for the
development by Owner of the Project in accordance with this Agreement, including but not
Limited to, the processing of applications for and issuing of all ministerial approvals
required for the implementation of and the determination of conformance with the Project
Approvals, this Agreement, and Applicable Rules as necessary for the completion of the
development of the Project ("MinisterialApprovals").
5.3 Processing during Litigation. The filing of any third -party lawsuit(s) against City or
Owner relating to this Agreement or to other development issues affecting the Project shall
M
not delay or stop the development, processing or construction of the Project, or issuance
of Ministerial Approvals, unless the third party obtains a court order enjoining or otherwise
preventing the activity. City shall not stipulate the issuance of any such order.
5.4 Defense of Agreement. Owner shall indemnify, and offer to defend (with counsel
jointly selected by Owner and City,) and hold harmless City and its officers, employees and
agents from and against any and all losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs, claims,
demands, damages, injuries orjudgments arising out of, or resulting from, City's approval
of this Agreement or either Party's performance pursuant to this Agreement. Owner shall
seek and secure City's consent to any settlement of such action only if such settlement
materially changes the Project or the Property, which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld or delayed. Owner agrees that Owner's counsel will not disclose any information
confidential to the City, gained during such defense, in any future proceedings where City
may be adverse to Owner or Owner's counsel, including quasi-judicial, or administrative
proceedings. City further irrevocably agrees not to assert any representation in such
defense by Owner's counsel as a potential conflict of interest in any future quasi-judicial,
or administrative proceeding, where City is a permitting agency, not related to the Project,
and City hereby irrevocably waives any actual or potential conflict of interest under such
circumstances. If this Agreement is adjudicated or determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, City agrees, subject to all legal requirements, to consider modifications to
this Agreement to render it valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law.
5.5 In mnity Arising From Construction. Owner shall defend and indemnify City from
and against any and all damages, claims, costs and liabilities arising out of the personal
injury or death of any person, or damage to the property of any person, to the extent such
damages, claims, costs or liabilities result from the construction of the Project by Owner or
by Owner's contractors, subcontractors, agents or employees, except as caused by the
sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of City, its officers, employees,
contractors, consultants or agents.
5.6 Failure to Accept Tender of Defense. If Owner should fail to accept City's tender of
defense as set forth in Sections 5.4 and 5.5, City shall defend any actions asserted against
City and control the defense and/or settlement of such action as City decides in its sole
discretion, and City may take any and all actions it deems necessary and appropriate in its
sole discretion in connection therewith. Owner shall indemnify City against reasonable
fees and costs arising out of the City's defense of such action. In any action or proceeding
challenging the approval of this Agreement, the City shall reasonably cooperate with
Owner in defending such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Owner
10
determines for any reason that it no longer intends to develop the Project, then it may
deliver notice of such determination to City, and Owner shall not be liable for any defense
costs incurred by City more than 90 days following the delivery of such notice.
5.7 Ci�LCooperation and Discretion. City agrees to cooperate with Owner in obtaining
the approval of other public agencies by providing any documents or certificates
reasonably required to process and obtain such permits and approvals from other public
agencies. City retains full discretion in any future discretionary actions with respect to the
Project consistent with the Applicable Rules and section 5.6 herein.
6.0 General Provisions
6.1 Covenants Run with the Land. All of the provisions, agreements, rights, powers,
standards, terms, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall be binding
upon the parties and their respective heirs, successors (by merger, reorganization,

and all other persons acquiring the Project, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein,
whether by operation of law or in any manner whatsoever, and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties and their respective heirs, successors and assigns. All of the provisions of this
Agreement shall constitute covenants running with the land pursuant to applicable laws,
including, but not limited to, Civil Code Section 1468.
6.2 Transfer and Assignment. Right to Assign. Owner shall have the right to sell, assign
or transfer all or portions of the real property comprising the Project to any person at any
time during the Term of this Agreement. Upon the delegation of all duties and obligations
and the sale, transfer or assignment of all or any portion of the Property, Owner shall be
released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Property, or portion
thereof so transferred, arising subsequent to the effective date of such transfer if all of the
following are true: (i) Owner has provided to City fifteen (15) business days' written notice
of such transfer (ii) the transferee has agreed in writing to be subject to all of the provisions
hereof applicable to the portion of the Property so transferred (iii) owner is not in default of
this Agreement (iv) no such partial transfer shall violate the Subdivision Map Act,
Government Code Section 66410 et seq., and (v) the City Council agrees to release the
Owner from its duties and obligations under this agreement, which release shall not be
unreasonably withheld. As to item (v) above, City's failure to respond within 30 days of the
receipt of notice shall be deemed an agreement to release the Owner. Upon any transfer of
any portion of the Property and the express assumption of Owner's obligations under this
11
Agreement by such transferee, City agrees to look solely to the transferee for compliance
by such transferee with the provisions of this Agreement as such provisions relate to the
portion of the Property acquired by such transferee. A default by any transferee shall only
affect that portion of the Property owned by such transferee and shall not cancel or
diminish in anyway Owner's rights hereunder with respect to any portion of the Property
not owned by such transferee. The transferee shall be responsible for the reporting and
annual review requirements relating to the portion of the Property owned by such
transferee, and any amendment to this Agreement between City and a transferee shall only
affect the portion of the Property owned by such transferee.
6.3 Statement of Compliance. Within sixty days following any written request which
either City or Owner may make from time to time, the other shall execute and deliver to the
requesting party a statement ("Statement of Compliance") certifying that: (1) this

modifications hereto, that this Agreement is in full force and effect, as modified, and
stating the date and nature of such modifications; (2) there are no current known uncured
defaults underthis Agreement or specifying the dates and nature of any such defaults; and
(3) any other reasonable information requested. The failure to deliver such statement
within such time shall be conclusive upon the party which fails to deliver such statement
that this Agreement is in full force and effect without modification and that there are no
uncured known defaults in the performance of the requesting party. The City Clerk shall be
authorized to execute any Statement of Compliance pursuant to this section. City and
Owner may make only one request for a Statement of Compliance, respectively, within any
twelve-month period beginning at the Effective Date or the date of an immediate past
request by the requesting party, whichever occurred last. City shall not be bound by a
statement of compliance if a default existed at the time of execution but was concealed
from the City.
6.4 Default. Failure by City or Owner to perform any term or provision of this Agreement
for a period of sixty days, subject to extensions to time by mutual consent in writing, from
the receipt of written notice thereof from the other shall constitute a default under this
Agreement. Said notice shall specify in detail the nature of the alleged default and the
manner in which said default may be satisfactorily cured. If the nature of the alleged
default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such 60 -day period, the
commencement of the cure within such time period and the diligent prosecution to
completion of the cure shall be deemed a cure within such period. Subject to the
