OPERATIONS AGREEMENT
THIS OPERATIONS AGREEMENT (the "Operations Agreement" ) is made
and entered into this a3 day of a , 1996, by and
between the CITY OF ATASCADERO, a municipal corporation organized
and existing under the laws of the State of California (the
"City" ) , and GLENN MILLHOLLIN ("Property Owner" ) .
RECITALS
A. California Government Code Section 65864, et seq. ,
provides that the legislative body of a city may enter into an
agreement for the development of real property in order to vest
certain rights in the Property Owner and to meet certain public
purposes of the local government. Property Owner has applied to
the City pursuant to California Government Code Sections 65864-
65869.5 for approval of such an agreement as set forth herein.
B. The Property Owner and the City desire to enter into this
Agreement in order to address reclamation and operational issues
related to the reclamation of certain property (the "Property" )
known as the "Millhollin Quarry, " which Property is more fully
described in Exhibit "A" and shown on the maps set forth in
Exhibits "B" and "C, " all of which Exhibits are attached hereto.
The reclamation of the Property (the "Reclamation" ) includes
removal of aggregate material in accordance with provisions of the
1980 Reclamation Plan, as amended in conjunction with this
Agreement, consistent with the "Final Landform Plan, " Exhibit C
hereto.
C. The City has conducted duly noticed public hearings on
this proposed Operations Agreement pursuant to Government Code
Section 65867 and has found that the provisions of this Operations
Agreement and its purposes are consistent with the objectives,
policies, general land uses and programs specified in the City's
General Plan (the "General Plan" ) . Concurrent with or prior to its
approval of this Operations Agreement, the City Council of the City
(the "City Council" ) has also approved:
1. An Environmental Document pursuant to CEQA.
2. Amendment to the 1980 Reclamation Plan.
D. Certain risks and uncertainties associated with the long-
term nature of the reclamation of the Property could discourage and
deter Property Owner or any subsequent owner of the Property from
making the long-term commitments necessary to begin and complete
Reclamation of the Property; therefore, the parties desire to enter
into this Operations Agreement in order to reduce or eliminate
uncertainties as to such Reclamation.
1
E. The City recognizes that Property Owner may sustain
substantial losses if the City were to default in its obligations
or commitments herein undertaken, including without limitation, the
substantial investment made by Property Owner to discontinue mining
operations and reclaim the mining site.
F. The City, by electing to enter into contractual
agreements such as this one, acknowledges that the obligations of
the City shall survive beyond the term or terms of the present City
Council members, that such action will serve to bind the City and
future City Councils to the obligations thereby undertaken, and
this Operations Agreement shall limit the future oexercise City of
certain governmental and proprietary powers
approving this Operations Agreement, the City Council has elected
to exercise certain governmental powers at the time of entering
into this Operations Agreement, rather than deferring its actions
to some undetermined future date. The terms and conditions of this
Operations Agreement have been found to be fair, just and
reasonable, and the City has concluded that the pursuit of the
Reclamation will serve the best interests of its citizens and the
public health, safety and welfare will best be served by entering
into this obligation. The City acknowledges that Property Owner
would not consider or engage in the Reclamation without assurances
that future development opportunities which the Reclamation is
designed to enable will be available.
G. This Operations Agreement will promote and encourage the
Reclamation of the Property by providing the Property Owner and
his/her creditors with a greater degree of certainty of the
Property Owner's ability to expeditiously and economically complete
the Reclamation effort, and the parties agree that the
consideration to be received by the City pursuant to this
Operations Agreement and the rights secured to the Property Owner
hereunder constitute sufficient consideration to support the
covenants and agreements of the City and the Property Owner. By
entering into this Operations Agreement, the City desires to allow
the Reclamation and entertain future development proposals for the
Property pursuant to the Operations Agreement, the relevant land
use ordinances, rules, regulations and policies applicable on the
"Effective Date" as defined in Section 3 hereof as amended, if at
all, by this Operations Agreement and, pursuant to this Operations
Agreement, to vest in Property Owner,- to the fullest extent
possible under the law, the identified development opportunities.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the adequacy and receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
2
1. Binding Effect of Operations Agreement. The Operations
Agreement pertains to the Property as described in Exhibit "A. "
The burdens of the Operations Agreement are binding upon, and the
benefits of the Operations Agreement inure to all successors-in-
interest of the parties to the Operations Agreement, and constitute
covenants which run with the Property, and in order to provide
continued notice thereof, this Operations Agreement will be
recorded by the parties.
2. Relationship of the Parties. It is hereby specifically
understood and acknowledged that the Reclamation is a private
project and that neither the City nor Property Owner will be deemed
to be the agent of the other for any purpose whatsoever.
3. Term.
(a) The "Effective Date" of this Operations Agreement
shall be the date this agreement is approved by resolution of the
City Council.
(b) The provisions of this Agreement relating to
operation of the Quarry, including those conditions listed in
Exhibit D hereto, shall remain in effect from the effective date of
this Agreement until reclamation is complete to the satisfaction of
the City. All other provisions, particularly those relating to
Property Owner's development rights, shall remain in force and
effect until ten ( 10) years from mine closure and site reclamation
is deemed complete by the City, subject to earlier termination as
hereinafter provided.
(c) The City and Property Owner may terminate this
Operations Agreement pursuant to Section 19 hereof prior to
expiration of the Term.
4. Permitted Uses of the Property. The parties agree that
continued extraction of rock from the Property, consistent with the
Final Landform Plan, the Amended Reclamation Plan and provisions of
this Operations Agreement, as well as the uses designated in the
City's current General Plan are permitted uses of the Property.
The City agrees to allow such uses on the Property, subject to the
right of the City to take appropriate action to abate any public
nuisance and to enforce all laws which do not conflict with
Existing Development Regulations as defined in Section 8 of this
Operations Agreement. The vested rights granted to Property Owner
under this Operations Agreement apply only to the Property.

officers, agencies and departments shall not unreasonably delay the
processing of any application for any permit or approval necessary
to commence or complete the Reclamation or subsequent development
of the Property.

impair or interfere with the right of the City to require the
processing of building permits as required by law and to conduct
its development review of any specific improvements proposed for
the Property pursuant to the applicable provisions of the City's
Municipal Code which are in effect as of the date hereof; provided,
however, no such review shall authorize or permit the City to
impose any condition and/or withhold approval to any proposed
building, the result of which would be inconsistent with any term
or provision of the Operations Agreement.
7 . vesting of Development Rights.
(a) General Statement. As a material inducement to
Property Owner and its lenders to continue with diligent efforts to
promote the Reclamation of the Property, the City desires to cause
all development rights which may be required to reclaim and develop
to completion the Property consistent with this Operations
Agreement, to be deemed vested in Property Owner for the benefit of
the Property, as of the Effective Date of this Operations
Agreement, to the greatest extent permitted by law, and to be free
of all subsequent building moratorium, ordinances, rules,
regulations, policies, or restrictions on development which are
inconsistent with this Operations Agreement.
(b) _ Existing Rules to Govern. In accordance with the
terms of Government Code Section 65866, the City and Property Owner
agree that the General Plan provisions, ordinances, rules,
regulations and official policies of the City in effect as of the
date of this Operations Agreement applicable to the Development
(collectively, the "Existing Development Regulations" ) shall govern
during the Term of this Operations Agreement. The City shall not,
in subsequent actions applicable to the Property apply General Plan
provisions, ordinances, rules, regulations and policies which
conflict with the Existing Development Regulations, except with the
mutual consent in writing of the City and the Property Owner.
Except as otherwise provided in this Operations Agreement, no
amendment to or revision of, or addition to any of the Existing
Development Regulations without the mutual consent in writing of
the City and the Property Owner, whether adopted or approved by the
City Council or any office, board, commission or other agency of
the City, or by the people of the City through referendum or
initiative measure or other vote, shall be effective or enforceable
by the City with respect to the future Development.
(c) Exclusions from "Existing Development Regulations."
As used herein, "Existing Development Regulations" shall not
include municipal laws and regulations which do not conflict with
Property Owner's opportunities to subdivide and develop the
Property or to otherwise use the Property in accordance with this
Operations Agreement. Property Owner and its successors and
assigns and all persons and entities in occupation of any portion
4
of the Property shall comply with such non-conflicting laws and

districts;
(ii) Building, electrical, mechanical, fire and
similar codes based upon uniform codes incorporated by reference
into the Atascadero Municipal Code;
(iii) Laws, including zoning code provisions, which

city-wide basis, provided that nothing herein shall prevent
continued mining on the Property consistent with the Amended 1980
Reclamation Plan and this agreement;
(iv) Procedural rules of general City-wide
application.
(d) Subsequent "Slow/No Growth" Measures. Consistent
with (a) and (b) , above, the City and Property Owner specifically
,agree that any subsequently enacted initiatives, referendums, or
amendments to the City's General Plan and/or Zoning Code which
contain slow/no growth" measures which by their terms are intended
to or by operation having such effect or which otherwise conflict
with the terms of this Operations Agreement, or limit the
development of residential uses permitted by the existing
Development Regulations shall have no application to the Property.
8. Environmental Compliance and Mitigation Measures.
(a) Obligations of the Property Owner for Mitigation
Measures. The environmental mitigation approved as part of the
approval of this Operations Agreement is incorporated herein by
reference as though fully set forth at length.
9. Additional Property Owner Obligations and Representations
(a) The Property Owner anticipates removing 120,000
cubic yards of aggregate material from the Property. This amount
may fluctuate, but will remain consistent with the Final Landform
Plan, Phasing Plan, and Reclamation Plan.
(b) The Property Owner shall annually prepare and submit
a cross-section giving slope, elevation and lateral extent of the
current status of the Property and the status twelve months prior.
This submittal shall be timed to coincide with the City's annual
inspection, required by Public Resources Code Section 2774 .
5
(c) All topsoil will continue to be stockpiled on site
and used for revegetation activities.
(d) The removal of aggregate material from the Property,
as provided above, will be completed within 6 to 15 years,
depending on the rate at which the material is removed from the
Property. It is anticipated that the Property Owner's principal
operator shall remove aggregate material at the approximate rate of
20,000 cubic yards per year until the reclamation provided by this
Operations Agreement is complete. With the advance, written
consent of the City, not to be unreasonably withheld, up to an
additional 10,000 cubic yards may be removed in any one year.
(e) The maximum depth of aggregate removal from the mine
shall be as represented on the Final Landform Plan.
(f) The lands affected by the aggregate removal from the
mine shall be as represented on the Final Landform Plan. The
geology of the Property is 1) as represented by the Property
Owner's consultants and 2) analyzed in the environmental documents
approved by the City in conjunction with the Amended Reclamation
Plan.
(g) Aggregate removal operations on the Property by the
County shall be conducted in accordance with Exhibit D hereto.
Should Property Owner request replacement of the County as an
operator on the Property, reasonable operational standards of the
type included in Exhibit D shall be negotiated between the City and
the proposed new operator based on said new operator's operational
needs and imposed either by separate agreement between the City and
the new operator or by amendment of this Operations Agreement. As
provided above, said new operator other than the County will be
required to obtain a business license.
(h) Aggregate removal will proceed to completion in
phases as shown on the Phasing Plan, until the topography shown and
until slopes are created at no steeper than shown in the Final
Landform Plan.
(i) The site will be reclaimed as grazing land and
revegetated accordingly. In addition to grasses, a minimum of
fifty (50) native oak trees will be planted in locations approved
by planning staff.

operation affecting streams. Regular monitoring of impacts on
nearby streams has been and shall continue to be conducted as
required by Regional Water Quality Control Board pursuant to the
General Permit to Discharge Stormwater applicable to the Property.

aggregate occurring on site. Erosion and sedimentation are
addressed by the Amended Reclamation Plan and in mitigation
6
required by the environmental review approved for this Operations
Agreement.
(k) There is no known effect on future mining in the
area from implementation of the Reclamation as described herein.
10. Additional Obligations and Representations.
(a) The City shall conduct and file with the State
annual inspections under SMARA, pursuant to Section 2774 of the
Public Resources Code. In order to assist in such annual
inspections, Property Owner agrees to cooperate with the City in
allowing access to the Property and to provide in a timely manner
any information in its possession regarding reclamation activities
requested by the City. No new materials shall be requested of
Property Owner in conjunction with such annual inspections except
that mentioned above, nor shall Property Owner be charged any fee
for such inspections.
11. Assignment; Release. This Operations Agreement shall not
be severable from Property Owner's interest in the Property and its
development. Any transfer of a portion of the Property shall
automatically operate to transfer the benefits and burdens of this
Operations Agreement in respect of such portion. Property Owner
shall have the right to sell, assign, pledge as security or
transfer all or any part of its interest in the Property along with
all of its right, title and interest in and to all or any part of
the Operations Agreement to any person, firm or corporation at any
time during the term of this Operations Agreement without the
consent of the City. Provided that Property Owner has provided the
City with notice of such transfer, upon the sale, transfer or
assignment of Property Owner's interest in all or any portion of
the Property, Property Owner shall be released from its obligations
under this Operations Agreement arising subsequent to such transfer
in respect of the transferred portion. The City agrees to execute
any documents reasonably required by an assignee, transferee,
lender, or other party confirming the rights of such party under
this Operations Agreement or providing notices of default and
rights to cure for the benefit of such parties.
12. Periodic Review of Compliance. In accordance with
Government Code Section 65865.1, the City Council shall review this
Operations Agreement at least once each calendar year hereafter.
At such periodic reviews, Property Owner must demonstrate its good
faith compliance with the terms of this Operations Agreement.
Property Owner agrees to furnish such evidence of good faith
compliance as the City, in the reasonable exercise of its
discretion and after reasonable notice to Property Owner, may
require. Property Owner shall be deemed to be in good faith
compliance with this Operations Agreement if the City is not
entitled by the terms and provisions of this Operations Agreement
or other applicable law to terminate this Operations Agreement. It
7
r
is understood that Property Owner is under an obligation to
complete Reclamation of the property, but that Property Owner is
not under any obligation to commence construction of any
development within any time period or at all, and that failure to
institute or complete construction of the development of the
Property is not a basis for the City to determine that Property
Owner is not in good faith compliance with this Operations
Agreement.
13. Amendment or Cancellation. Except as otherwise provided
for herein, this Operations Agreement may be amended or canceled in
whole or in part only by mutual consent of the parties, or their
successors in interest, and in the manner provided in Government
Code Sections 65865. 1, 65867, 65867.5 and 65868.
14. Enforcement. Unless amended or canceled as provided in
Section 20, this Operations Agreement shall continue to be
enforceable by any party to it, including citizens of the City of
Atascadero, notwithstanding any change or other regulations adopted
by the City which alter or amend the rules, regulations or policies
applicable to the Property.
15. Supersession of the Agreement by Changes in State or
Federal Law. In the event that State or federal laws, ordinances,
rules, policies or regulations or the laws, ordinances, rules,
policies, or regulations of any other governmental or quasi-
governmental entity are enacted after the Effective Date of this
Operations Agreement, or the action or inaction of any other
affected governmental jurisdiction prevents or precludes compliance
with one or more provisions of this Operations Agreement, or
imposes a requirement on the Reclamation or future development of
the Property materially different than as otherwise contemplated by
this Operations Agreement, or required changes in plans, maps or
permits approved by the City or the development standards set forth
in the Operations Agreement, the parties shall:
(a) Provide the other party with written notice of such
restrictions, together with a copy of the applicable law, rule,
regulation or policy and a statement in reasonable detail setting
forth the conflict of same with the provisions of the Operations
Agreement; and
(b) Promptly meet and confer with the other party in
good faith and make a reasonable attempt to modify or suspend this
Operations Agreement to comply with such law, ordinance, rule,
policy or regulation. Thereafter, regardless of whether the
parties reach agreement on the effect of such law, ordinance, rule,
policy or regulation upon this Operations Agreement, the matter
shall be scheduled for a hearing before the City Council upon
thirty (30) days notice for the purposes of determining the exact
modification or suspension which is required by such law,
ordinance, rule policy or regulation. It is the express intent of
8
the parties to modify the Operations Agreement to allow for the
Reclamation in as close conformity to the terms and conditions of
this Operations Agreement as reasonably possible. Nothing herein
shall preclude Property Owner from challenging the conflicting law,
rule, regulation or policy.
16. Enforced Delay and Extension of Time Performance. In
addition to specific provisions of this Operations Agreement,
performance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in
default where delays or defaults are due to:
(a) War, insurrection, civil commotion, riot, flood,
severe weather, earthquake, fire, casualty, acts of public enemy,
acts of God, governmental restriction, litigation (including
without limitation, litigation contesting the validity, or seeking
the enforcement or clarification of, this Operations Agreement
whether instituted by Property Owner, the City or any person or
entity) , acts or failures to act of any governmental agency or
entity;
(b) Inability to secure necessary labor, materials or
tools, strikes, lockouts, other labor disputes, or delays of any
contractor, subcontractor or supplier.
An extension of time in writing for any such cause shall be
granted for the period of the enforced delay, or longer as mutually
agreed upon, which period shall commence to run from the time of
commencement of cause.

in default under this Operations Agreement upon the happening of
one or more of the following events or conditions:

basis of substantial evidence, Property owner has not complied in
good faith with a material requirement of this Operations
Agreement; or
(iii) An express repudiation, refusal or
renunciation of this Operations Agreement, if the same is in
writing and signed by the Property Owner.
(b) City's Default. The City shall be in default under
this Operations Agreement if it shall:
(i) fail to comply in good faith with its
obligations and requirements hereof regarding the Reclamation and
future Development opportunities specified herein, or any other of
City's obligations herein;
(ii) expressly repudiate, refuse or renounce this
Operations Agreement in writing.
19. Procedure Upon Default.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Operations
Agreement to the contrary, except for the Property Owner's default
under Section 18(a) (iii) , Property Owner shall not be deemed to be
in default under this Operations Agreement and the City may not
terminate Property Owner's rights under this Operations Agreement
unless the City shall have first delivered a written notice of any
alleged default to Property Owner, which shall specify the nature
of such default. Except for the Property Owner's default under
Section 18(b) (ii) , if such default is not cured by Property Owner
within ninety (90) days of service of such notice of default, or
with respect to defaults which cannot be cured within such period,
Property Owner fails to commence to cure the default within sixty
(60) days after service of the notice of default, or thereafter
fails to diligently pursue the cure of such default until
completion, the City may terminate Property Owner rights under this
Operations Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Operations Agreement to the contrary, except for the City's default
under Section 19(b) (iii) , the City shall not be deemed to be in
default under this Operations Agreement and the Property Owner may
not terminate the City's rights under this Operations Agreement
unless the Property Owner shall have first delivered a written
notice of any alleged default to City, which shall specify the
nature of such default. Except for the City's default under
Section 19(b) (iii) , if such default is not cured by the City within
10
ninety (90) days of service of such notice of default, or with
respect to defaults which cannot be cured within such period, the
City fails to commence to cure the default within sixty (60) days
after service of the notice of default, or thereafter fails to
diligently pursue the cure of such default until completion, the
Property Owner may terminate this Operations Agreement.
(b) In the event a default of this Operations Agreement
occurs, irreparable harm is likely to occur to the nondefaulting
party and damages may be an inadequate remedy. To the extent
permitted by law, therefore, it is expressly recognized that
specific enforcement of this Operations Agreement is a proper and
desirable remedy.
(c) In no event shall either party be entitled to
damages against the other party based on the other party's default
under this Operations Agreement.
- (d) In the event this Operations Agreement is
terminated, except by default of the Property Owner, all rights to
continue mining by the Property Owner, consistent with the 1980
Reclamation Plan, or any approved amendments thereto, and

remain in force and effect, subject to all rights reserved by the
City to challenge the 1980 Reclamation Plan or Property Owner's
activities on the Property.

Exhibits therein referenced contain the entire agreement between
the parties, and are intended by the parties to completely state
the Operations Agreement in full. Any agreement or representation
respecting the matters dealt with herein or the duties of any party
in relation thereto, not expressly set forth in this Operations
Agreement, is null and void.

covenant of this Operations Agreement, or the application thereof
to any party or circumstances, shall to any extent be held invalid
or unenforceable, the remainder of the instrument, or the
application of such term, provision, condition or covenants or the
application of such term, provision, condition or covenant to
persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and
each term and provision of this Operations Agreement shall be valid
and enforceable to the fullest extent permissible by law.
22. Counterparts. This Operations Agreement has been
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which has been deemed
an original, but all of which constitute one and the same
instrument.

requesting such party to certify in writing that, to the knowledge
