3.2 Project Timing: Construction Entitlement. The
parties acknowledge that Developer cannot at this time predict when
or the rate at which or the order in which parts of the Project
will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors
which are not within the control of Developer, such as market

similar factors. Therefore, the parties hereto acknowledge and
expressly agree that Developer is hereby granted by -the City the
vested and guaranteed right to develop the Project in such manner
and at such rate and at such -times as Developer deems appropriate
within the exercise of its sole subjective business judgment.

is made in accordance with the Development Plan and this Agreement.

Ordinances, and (b) payment of the usual and customary fees and

applications, permits and certificates and for any utility
connection, or similar fees and charges of general application, the
City shall process and issue to Developer promptly upon application
therefor all necessary use permits, building permits, occupancy
certificates, and other required permits for the construction, use
and occupancy of the Project, or any portion thereof, as applied
for, including connection to all utility systems under the City's
jurisdiction and control (to the extent that such connections are
physically feasible and that such utility systems are capable of
adequately servicing the Project).

connection with the development of the Project shall be governed as
provided herein by the standards, terms and conditions of this

conditions notwithstanding any subsequent action of the City,

referenda, initiative, or otherwise. The parties acknowledge and
agree that by entering into this Agreement and relying thereupon,
the Developer has obtained, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, a vested right to proceed with its development of
the Project in accordance with the proposed uses of the Property,
the density and intensity of development of the Property and the
requirements and guidelines for the construction or provision of
on -site and off -site improvements as set forth in the Development

acceptable to the City and Developer, over a portion of the

this area. In consideration for the dedication -of Mid -Valley
Channel Area as described herein, Developer shall receive a credit
against required area drainage fees equal to the fair market value
of the Mid -Valley Channel Area land. Prior to such dedication,
Developer and the City shall attempt to agree upon the fair market
value of the land to be dedicated to the City pursuant to this
Section 5.1. In the event Developer and the City cannot agree on
the fair market value of the land to be dedicated for the Mi3=
Valley Channel prior to such dedication, then within fifteen (15)

5.2 Appraisal Procedures. In the event the parties
cannot reach an agreement upon land value as described above, the
Developer shall, in a written notice to the City, state that it
elects to have the fair market value of the dedicated land
determined by the appraisal procedures set forth herein, and shall
specify the name of its appraiser. Within ten days of receipt of
such notice from Developer, the City shall notify the Developer of
the name of its appraiser. Upon the appointment of the two
appraisers as herein provided, said two appraisers shall be sworn
to faithfully and fully determine the value question at issue. The
determination to be made by the appraiser shall be: "What was the
fair market value of the land dedicated to the City as of the date
of conveyance taking into account all uses and restrictions then
affecting such land." Such arbitration shall be - conducted in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association
for commercial arbitration. The two appraisers shall make their
respective determinations in writing and shall give notice to all
the parties. If there is a variance of less than lot (such lot
variance determined by dividing the amount of the variance by the
larger of the two appraisals) in the fair market values determined
by the two appraisers, the average of the values so determined
shall be controlling and shall be binding upon the City and the
Developer. If there is a variance of more than 10% in the fair
market values determined by the two appraisers, said appraisers
shall forthwith and within ten days after both the said appraisers

appoint or agree upon such third appraiser within said ten day
period, a third appraiser shall be selected by the City and
Developer if they so agree upon such third appraiser within a
further period of ten days. If any appraiser shall not be
appointed or agreed upon within the time herein provided, then the
Developer or the City may apply to the appropriate court in
Riverside County, California, for appointment of such appraiser.
Said appraiser shall be sworn faithfully and fairly to determine,
pursuant to the procedures set forth above, the value question at
issue. The third appraiser's determination of value shall be
controlling unless it is W higher than either of the
determinations of value of the original appraisals, in which case
such previous higher determination shall be controlling and binding
upon the City and Developer, or (ii) lower than the determinations
of value of the two original appraisals, in which case such
previous low determination of value will be controlling and binding
upon the City and Developer;
5.3 Fees and Exvenses. Each party shall pay the fees
and expenses of the appraiser it appoints, and the fees and
expenses of the third appraiser and any general expenses incurred -
by the appraisers in connection with the appraisals shall be borne
equally.

public art into the Project for the purpose of enhancing the image

for the promotion of the City and the Project, Developer and the
City shall work together to develop one or more major public
artworks to be located on or adjacent to Cook Street and/or Gerald
Ford Drive south of Interstate 10. The City and Developer agree to
outline a process to establish a master plan for public art, which
plan shall identify sites and opportunities for art, funding
amounts and sources, procedures for art selection, and methods for
art project management in connection with the Project. In the
event that a large art statement is selected as the appropriate
installation, the City may consider advancing the funds necessary
to secure and install said art piece with the City being reimbursed
pursuant to in lieu art fees as development occurs and as further
described below. Developer shall, at the request of the City,
provide such easements upon the Property as may be reasonably
required for the installation and maintenance of such public art.
The location of such easements shall be mutually approved by the
City and Developer. In addition to providing such easements as may

access from Interstate 10, and the City and the Developer recognize the opportunity that
the site has to introduce people to the City of Palm Desert as well as respond to a major
economic potential for regional destination and traveler oriented commerce.
The development of the Project in a manner consistent with the provisions of this
Agreement including the development guidelines provides a number of benefits to both the
City and the Owner.
1. It maximizes the potential for high quality commercial, industrial, and
residential development with high visibility from Interstate 10.
2. It maximizes the flexibility necessary to adapt the property to future
conditions which are anticipated to affect the area; particularly the future
university campus and the increased accessibility to the area north of
Interstate 10.
3. It provides a comprehensive planning framework which establishes
guidelines for future land use applications for the property and eliminates the
inconsistency associated with individual and unassociated development
proposals.
4. It facilitates the construction of stormwater system improvements consistent _
with the master plans adopted by the City in conjunction with the Coachella
Valley Water District.
5. It controls sensitive land uses associated with sites having excellent freeway
access.
6. It provides for the completion of the street network adjacent to the site
including Cook Street, Gerald Ford Drive and Portola Avenue.
7. It provides for the planning and execution of a major entry statement
potentially involving the Art in Public Places program.
