OB-052 authorizing approval of the Second Amendment to the existing
Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with UCR allowing the
conveyance of real property known as A.P.N 694-160-003 / Parcel B (11.5
acres) from the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment
Agency to the Regents of the University of California (UCR), pursuant to
existing Option Agreement.
Background
On March 22, 2001, the former Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency entered into a
Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with the Regents of the University of
California, on behalf of its Riverside campus, and Richard J. Heckmann Foundation to
facilitate the creation of the University of California Riverside - Palm Desert Campus and its
existing facilities (see attached DDA). The DDA facilitated the construction of infrastructure
and facilities for the International Center of Entrepreneurial Management (ICEM) and the A.
Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management. The DDA was subsequently amended
on December 12, 2002 allowing the conveyance of 8.5 acres for $1.00 to the Regents of the
University of California, Riverside, after the completion of the facility improvements (see
attached First Amendment to DDA).

Authorize Transfer of Parcel B per UCR's Option Agreement
September 10, 2013
Page 2 of 3
Upon the completion of the UCR-Palm Desert improvements (Phase 1), and pursuant to the
DDA, UCR was granted a 25-year option to acquire title an 11.5 acre site located adjacent
to the UCR-Palm Desert Campus know as Parcel B (see attached site map). Parcel B is
intended to accommodate the expansion of the UCR Palm Desert Campus and future uses
consistent with UCR's education mission (see attached Option Agreement). Pursuant to the
Option Agreement, the purchase price of the Parcel B is $1.00, subject to the terms,
conditions, and covenants of the DDA.
Oversight Board of the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency
(Oversight Board):
On December 3, 2012, Oversight Board approved the transfer of the 11.5 acres (Parcel B)
to UCR for a public use and the development of UCR's School of Medicine contingent to:
1. Ratification by the University Planning Committee established by the existing DDA.
2. Approval of a mutually agreed upon Grant Deed addressing three conditions:
a. City review of future access points to Parcel B
b. City review of project design, location and height of buildings
c. No sale, transfer or use of Parcel B except for educational purposes (i.e. UCR
educational mission); and
3. Approval by the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency
On March 9, 2013, the State Department of Finance issued an approval letter (see
attached), granting approval of the transfer of Parcel B to UCR pursuant to the existing
DDA's and Option Agreement.
On April 25, 2013, the University Planning Committee reviewed and approved the transfer
of Parcel B (11.5 acres) to UCR. The approval of the transfer included addressing three
conditions listed above on the final grant deed.
On June 13, 2013, the Successor Agency approved the transfer of the site to UCR also
subject to the agreed upon language addressing the above specified conditions on final
grant deed.
Second Amendment to DDA
Over the last two months, staff, UCR and our legal counsels have been in discussion on the
appropriate language to use on the grant deed that would meet the City's three conditions
listed above, while providing flexibility in future land uses that would allow for public private
uses, leases and agreements that would facilitate the project development and meet UCR
educational goals.
To address the three conditions identified above, staff and UCR developed a Second
Amendment to the DDA to provide additional clarity to the proposed conditions requested
by the City, and provide flexibility in the types of allowable land uses that would facilitate

financing the construction of the medical educational facility. In addition to identifying the
City's requirement to review access point to Parcel B and review of project design, the
Second Amendment specifically identifies UCR's ability to use public private partnerships
and/or leases with a third party in support of UCR mission. In addition the amendment
provides specificity in the permitted uses including operation of medical services, clinical
enterprises, medical facilities, retail, commercial, restaurant, food concessionaires, student
union, athletic, and recreational facilities, student, familial and elder housing, bookstore and
other services permitted by applicable legal requirements. Both UCR and City's legal
counsels have mutually drafted the amendment and is acceptable to both parties as drafted.
UCR has met the conditions of the DDA's and the Option Agreement dated January 31,
2003 and staff recommends that the Oversight Board approve the Second Amendment to
the DDA, authorize the transfer of Parcel B (11.5 acres) to the UCR and the recordation of
the attached grant deed.
