entered into as of this 24th day of April 1997, by and
between the City of Palm Desert, California, a municipal
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of
California (the "City), and David Freedman & Co., Inc., a
California corporation ("Developer"), with reference to the
following facts, understandings and intentions of the parties:
RECITALS
A. These•Recitals refer to and utilize certain capitalized
terms which are defined in this Agreement. The parties intend to
refer to those definitions in conjunction with the use thereof in
these Recitals.
B. Government Code Sections 65684 through 65869.5 inclusive
(the "Development Agreement Legislation") authorize the City to
enter into development agreements in connection with the
development of real property within its jurisdiction. On August
11, 1983, the City enacted by Ordinance No. 341, as amended on
December 7, 1989 by Ordinance No. 589 (collectively, the
"Development Agreement Ordinance"), procedures and requirements for
the consideration of development agreements thereunder pursuant to
the Development Agreement Legislation.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
important entry point to the City and the coordinated development
of the Project pursuant to this Agreement represents an important
and mutually beneficial economic development and land usage
planning opportunity for the City and Developer.
D. The City has determined that the development of the
Project as contemplated by this Agreement is consistent with and in
furtherance of the development goals, policies, general land uses
and development programs of the City as set forth in the City' s
General Plan and is consistent with the existing Planned Community
Development (PCD) Overlay Zone adopted on April 24, 1997 by
Ordinance No. 837, affecting the Property.
E. City has further determined that entry into this
Agreement will further the goals and objectives of the City's land
use planning policies by, among other things, encouraging
investment, providing precise and supplemental criteria for the
uses, design, circulation and development of the Property,
including flexibility in land use options which may be altered in
order to respond to future changes in the surrounding areas,
eliminating uncertainty in planning for, and securing orderly
processing and development of, the Project. The benefits conferred
on the City by Developer herein will (i) insure consistent,
comprehensive planning which will result in aesthetically pleasing,
environmentally harmonious, and economically viable development
within the City; (ii) provide for the creation of a high -quality,
aesthetically pleasing entry statement for the City; (iii) provide
for the construction of stormwater system improvements vital to the
City; and (iv) further the development objectives of the City in an

orderly manner, all of which will significantly promote the health, _
safety and welfare of the residents of the City. In exchange for
these benefits to the City, Developer desires to receive the
assurance that it may proceed with the Project in accordance with
the Development Plan attached to this Agreement as Exhibit "A", and
at a rate of development of its choosing, subject to the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement.
F. By adopting this Agreement, the City Council has elected
to exercise certain governmental powers at the present time rather
than deferring such actions until an undetermined future date and
has done so intending to bind the City and the City Council and
intending to limit the City's future exercise of certain
governmental powers, to the extent permitted by law.
G. This Agreement has undergone extensive review by the
City's staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council.
H. In order to effectuate the foregoing, the parties desire
to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority contained in the
Development Agreement Legislation, and in consideration of the
mutual covenants and promises of the parties herein contained, the

IlQ�3l
ORDINANCE NO. 838
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
shall be without regard to future ordinances, resolutions, rules,
regulations and policies of the City or referenda of the voters of
the City, including, without limitation, those with respect to
moratoriums for utility service, other than ordinances,
resolutions, rules, regulations and policies of the City which
limit or condition the rate, timing or sequencing of development of
the Property and which are required solely as a result of then
existing shortages of utility service capacity or facilities.
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
orientation and demand, interest rates, competition and other
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.
Therefore, City expressly agrees that Developer shall be entitled
to apply for precise plans, subdivision maps, building permits,
occupancy certificates and other land use and development
entitlements for its use at any time provided that such application
is made in accordance with the Development Plan and this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this
Agreement or the Existing Land Use Ordinances, Developer shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to obtain from the City, all
DE096717 4/16/97 - 7 -

ORDINANCE NO. 838
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
necessary approvals, consents, permits, or other entitlements for
the construction of not less than the maximum number of square feet
of gross floor area or dwelling units of any permitted use under
the Development Plan specified with respect to any designated
Planning Area set forth in the Development Plan.
3.3 Building Permits and Other Approvals and Permits.
Subject to (a) Developer's compliance with this Agreement, the
Development Plan, the Existing Land Use Ordinances and the Building
Ordinances, and (b) payment of the usual and customary fees and
charges of general application charged for the processing of such
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).
3.4 Procedures and Standards. The standards for
granting or withholding permits or approvals required hereunder in
connection with the development of the Project shall be governed as
provided herein by the standards, terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Development Plan, and to the extent not
inconsistent therewith, the Existing Land Use Ordinances, but the
procedures for processing applications for such permits or
DE096717 4/16/97 - 8 -
ORDINANCE NO. 838
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
approvals (including the usual and customary fees of general
application charged for such processing) shall be governed by such
ordinances and regulations as may then be applicable and which are
consistent with the Development Plan.
3.5 Effect of Agreement. This Agreement shall
constitute a part of the Enacting Ordinance, as if incorporated by
reference therein in full. The parties acknowledge that this
Agreement is intended to grant Developer the right to develop the
Project pursuant to specified and known criteria and rules as set
forth in the Development Plan and the Existing Land Use Ordinances,
and to grant the City and the residents of the City certain
benefits which they otherwise would not receive.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the City and its
successors in accordance with and subject to its terms and
conditions notwithstanding any subsequent action of the City,
whether taken by ordinance or resolution of the City Council, by
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
Plan and the Existing Land Use Ordinances, and the timing
provisions of Section 3.2, and the City has entered into this
Agreement in order to secure the public benefits conferred upon it

hereunder which are essential to alleviate current and potential
problems in the City and to protect the public health, safety and
welfare of the City and its residents, and this Agreement is an
essential element in the achievement of those goals.
3.6 Operating Memoranda. Developer and City
acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement require a close
degree of cooperation between Developer and City, and that
refinements and further development of the Project may demonstrate
that changes or additional provisions are appropriate with respect
to the details of performance of the parties under this Agreement
in order to effectuate the purpose of this Agreement and the intent
of the parties with respect thereto. If and when, from time to
time, the parties find that such changes or additional provisions
are necessary or appropriate, and subject to the provisions of the
next succeeding sentence, they shall effectuate such changes or
provide for such additional provisions through operating memoranda
to be approved in good faith by the parties, which, after
execution, shall be attached hereto as addenda and become.a part
hereof, and may be further changed or supplemented from time to
time as necessary, with further good faith approval of Developer
and City. Upon receipt by the City of an opinion of the City
Attorney to the effect that the subject matter of such operating
memoranda does not require the amendment of this Agreement in the
manner provided in Section 65868 of the California Government Code,
then no such operating memoranda shall require prior notice or
hearing, or constitute an amendment to this Agreement; and in the
case of the City, such operating memoranda may be approved and

executed by its Community Development Director or City Manager
without further action of the City Council. Failure of the parties
to enter into any such operating memoranda shall not affect or
abrogate any of the rights, duties or obligations of the parties
hereunder or the provisions of this Agreement.
4. Specific Criteria Applicable to Development of the
Project.
4.1 Applicable Ordinances. Except as set forth in the
Development Plan and subject to the provisions of Section 4.2
below, the Existing Land Use Ordinances shall govern the
development of the Property hereunder and the granting or
withholding of all permits or approvals required to develop the
Property; provided, however, that (a) Developer shall be subject to
all changes in processing, inspection and plan -check fees and
charges imposed by City in connection with the processing of
applications for development and construction upon the Property so
long as such fees and charges are of general application and are
not imposed solely with respect to the Property, and (b) Developer
shall abide by the Building Ordinances in effect at the time of
such applications.
4.2 Amendment to Applicable Ordinances. In the event
that the Palm Desert zoning ordinance is amended by the City in a
manner which provides more favorable site development standards for
the Property or any part thereof than those in effect as of the
Effective Date, Developer shall have the right to notify the City
in writing of its desire to be subject to all or any such new
standards for the remaining term of this Agreement. If City agrees,
DE096717 4/16/97 -11-
179587
ORDINANCE NO. 838
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
by resolution of the City Council or by action of a City official
whom the City Council may designate, such new standards shall
become applicable to the Property or portions thereof. Should City
thereafter amend such new standards, upon the effective date of
such amendment, the original new standards shall continue to apply
to the Property as provided above, but Developer may notify City in `
writing of its desire to be subject to all or any such amended new
standards and City may agree in the manner above provided to apply
such amended new standards to the Property.
4.3 Easements; Abandonments. City shall cooperate with
Developer in connection with any arrangements for abandoning
existing utility or other easements and the relocation thereof or
creation of any new easements within the Property necessary or
appropriate in connection with the development of the Project; and
if any such easement is owned by City, City shall, at the request
of Developer and in the manner and to the extent permitted by law,
take such action and execute such documents as may be necessary to
abandon existing easements and relocate them, as necessary or
appropriate in connection with the development of the Project, all
at the cost and expense of the Developer. In addition, to the
extent that temporary or permanent easements on property adjacent
or in close proximity to the Property will be required in order for
Developer to develop all or portions of the Project, the City shall
cooperate with Developer in efforts to obtain or secure any such
required easements.

5. Mid -Valley Storm Channel Dedication.
5.1 Dedication. In order to facilitate development of
the proposed Mid -Valley Channel, Developer shall dedicate to the
City a right-of-way easement for the Mid -Valley Channel, in a form
acceptable to the City and Developer, over a portion of the
Property consisting of approximately 11 acres near the northerly
boundary of the Property, which area is more particularly described
on Exhibit "C" to this Agreement (the "Mid -Valley Channel Area").
The easement over the Mid -Valley Channel Area shall be dedicated on
or before issuance by the City of the first building permit for any
portion of the •Project. The City acknowledges that Developer,
through significant on -site retention of Project -generated storm
waters and the dedication of the right-of-way necessary for the
future construction of the proposed Mid -Valley Channel, has
facilitated the future construction of the Mid -Valley Channel in
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 Mid -
Valley Channel prior to such dedication, then within fifteen (15)
days after conveyance of the right-of-way easement as described
above the then present fair market value of the land dedicated
DE096717 4/16/97 - 1 3 -

appraisal procedures set forth in Section 5.2 below.
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 10% (such 10%
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

have made their determination, appoint in writing a third appraiser
and give written notice of such appointment to each of the City and
the Developer. If in the event the two appraisers shall fail to
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 (i) 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 Expenses. 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.

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

waive, release and relinquish any other right or remedy otherwise
available under this Agreement or at law or equity.

insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement by the other party shall not constitute waiver of such
party's right to demand strict compliance by such other party in
the future. All waivers must be in writing to be effective or
binding upon the waiving party, and no waiver shall be implied from
any omission by a party to take any action with respect to such
Event of Default. No express written waiver of any Event of
Default shall affect any other Event of Default, or cover any other
period of time specified in such express waiver.
9.4 Effect of Termination. Termination of this
Agreement by one party due to the other party's default, or as a
result of the exercise of the right of termination provided to the

PURPOSE OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The purpose of adopting a Development Plan for the subject project is as follows:
To provide the City and the Developer(s) of the Project Area with a process and
standards consistent with the City's General Plan and act to implement the City's
goals and objectives.
To provide precise and supplemental criteria for the uses, design, circulation, and
development of the overall property which has been broken down into a series of
Planning Areas which may take on individual characteristics resulting in an
aesthetically consistent, environmentally harmonious, and economically viable
addition to the community.
► To provide for flexibility in land use options which may be altered in order to respond
to future changes in the vicinity including but not limited to the development of a
major university on adjacent property, and the changing character of traffic patterns
due to improved access to Interstate 10 and to land north of Palm Desert.
► To insure that development occurs in an orderly fashion through long-range
planning.
► To facilitate processing applications for industrial, commercial and residential
development that is consistent with the guidelines set forth in this development plan
establishing an overall land use plan, a statement of intent, processing requirements
and threshold environmental analysis and mitigation measures.
► To provide for the development of the overall project area in a manner which is
consistent with the terms and provisions of this Development Agreement, the
Development Plan and the City's Land Use Ordinances.
PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Overview
The Wonder Palms Commercial Center (Project) affords the opportunity to establish a high
quality entry overall statement for an important portal to the City at the same time creating
a major economic development which can be planned to complement existing commercial,
industrial, and residential development elsewhere in the City and the surrounding area.
Master planning this area will ensure the flexibility which will be necessary as the
1795357
ORDINANCE NO. 838
surrounding area develops. The site is poised to provide one of the City's major points of
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:
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

ORDINANCE NO. 838
Design Guidelines
Purpose
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or this Exhibit "A", the development of
each Planning Area within the Project shall be governed by the existing Land Use and
Building Ordinances of the City. The following guidelines are intended to be supplemental
to those established -by the City in its Ordinances and to the extent that they are
inconsistent or in conflict with the guidelines and Ordinances established by the City, these
guidelines shall be deemed controlling. Subject to the foregoing, all development plans
for each Planning Area shall comply with the following guidelines.
Site Planning and Circulation
Access to the various Planning Areas shall be limited as depicted in Figure 5 unless
otherwise approved by the Planning Commission. The intent is to limit access to maximize
the efficiency of the public street network in and around the Project Area. Shared access,
shared parking, shared internal vehicular circulation, and an interconnected non -motorized
internal circulation system shall be considered with the site plan for each Planning Area.
Where shared circulation, parking, and access are planned, reciprocal easements shall be
provided at the time the final map is approved for the planning area or at the time of
building permits.
Architecture
The architectural style of the Project will be predominantly of a custom, contemporary
desert influence. This can include a variety of derivative "traditional' styles such as
Mexican, Southwest, Mission Spanish, as well as more distinctly modern desert
expressions as found in Palm Desert and elsewhere throughout the Southwest. The
collective characteristics found in this architecture will be solar control (eaves, shade
structures, recessed windows and doors, reflective surfaces), mass (thick walls, columns),
enriched materials (stone, masonry, glass block), complex building forms (courtyards,
"stepping" - both vertical and horizontal, clustering) and details (art, water elements,
lighting, signage). Articulated eave detailing is encouraged on all structures.
The design objective is to reward the observer with a unique, environmentally responsive
"village" of buildings which work to provide an enriching experience to both those working
within as well as the users of the complex. Screening of mechanical equipment, loading
docks, trash areas and the like from all vantage points shall be designed as an extension
of the architectural and landscape solutions.
Discouraged architectural elements include franchise design, stagefront (one sided)
solutions, massive, uninterrupted planes of stucco or similar materials, and unrelated,
12
I7°S87
ORDINANCE NO. 838
floating, Post -Modern elements applied to building elevations.
Height Limits
The maximum height of buildings shall be governed by the provisions of the equivalent
zoning classification.
Landscape
The landscape solutions will be water efficient, colorful and emphasize shade. Large
expanses of turf will be discouraged except where multiple usage can be achieved. Water
elements shall be judiciously used to accentuate entries or transition areas. Such
elements shall tend toward"oasis" rather than 'lake." Streetscapes shall be developed for
each of the public streets and should include landscape materials suited for such
applications. Colorful desert shrubs and shade trees shall be encouraged. Irrigation
systems shall be selected that limit water wasting. Landscape grading shall be designed
to contain irrigation within planting areas. Stormwater retention/detention areas (100 year
events) shall be integrated into the overall site plan.
Landscape Maintenance
Landscape maintenance shall be undertaken on a uniform basis within each planning area.
A landscape maintenance handbook shall be approved as part of the detailed landscape
development plans for each planning area. Landscape elements which are common to
more than one planning area shall have consistent maintenance provisions.
Parking Areas
Parking areas shall be efficiently designed to minimize area devoted to asphalt. As much
as possible, large parking area shall be separated into smaller appearing facilities by
means such as landscape buffers, grade breaks, and pedestrian corridors in order to
visually limit the parking "handscape." Trees used in parking areas shall be selected to
maximize the development of shade while maintaining visual access to the architectural
graphics of the complex. The pattern and selection of trees shall also integrate with the
pattern of lighting fixtures to insure efficient illumination while limiting light pollution to the
degree possible. Parking layouts shall be pedestrian friendly to facilitate pedestrian and
non -motorized transportation movements. Stormwater retention/detention areas may
include perimeter parking and maneuvering areas.
The business developments catering to freeway travelers shall accommodate parking for
vehicles pulling trailers, boats, vehicles and the like.
13
1 79` 87
ORDINANCE NO. 838
Grading/Drainage
The Project lies adjacent to the long -planned Mid -Valley Channel. Each site will be
required to retain the water of a 100 year event on site unless a community facility is
constructed. Areas used for retention/detention shall be integrated into the overall site
design but may be designed and shared by multiple sites. Retention/detention areas may
include perimeter parking and maneuvering areas.
Right-of-way easements for the Mid -Valley Channel shall be dedicated with the first
development permit and the land value of the dedication shall be credited against any
area -wide drainage fees. Construction shall be implemented by the Coachella Valley
Water District, the City, and/or the Redevelopment Agency. Interim flood protection may
be proposed to protect properties pending implementation of permanent facilities.
Mass grading of all or a portion of the Project may be necessary and may occur upon
approval of the grading plan and a dust control plan.
Graphics
Architectural graphics shall be considered as an integral part of the initial complex layout
and individual building design. Due to the relationship with Interstate 10, Planning Areas
1, 2, 4. and 6 may orient building signage toward the freeway. Individual business signage
shall not extend above the building outline. A single pylon sign up to 60 feet in height and
150 square feet in area per side (Figure 6) may be erected in Planning Areas 1 and 2
which may contain up to six business graphics. The design and location of this pylon shall
be integrated with the Precise Plan for each planning area and shall be consistent with the
FCOZ ordinance. All other freeway oriented graphics shall be consistent with the Palm
Desert Sign Ordinance.
In addition, the Developer and the City shall work with Caltrans to implement Business
Identification Signage on Interstate 10.
Plan Review Requirements
Purpose
This section is intended to establish the framework for processing future applications.
DevelopmentlPrecise Plan Review
When the actual development of a Planning Area is proposed, an application for approval
of a Precise Plan shall be filed with and shall be approved by the Planning Commission
and ARB if said Precise Plan is consistent with the provisions of the Agreement and this
Exhibit "A". A Precise Plan may cover one or more Planning Areas of the Project. If a
14
1 79L 87
ORDINANCE NO. 838
Precise Plan is proposed for an area less than a complete Planning Area, a schematic
land use plan for the entire Planning Area shall be submitted for that Planning Area. That
schematic land use Plan shall show that the partial development of the Planning Area will
not inhibit the overall development of the Planning Area. Subdivision maps, if required, can
be submitted and processed concurrently with the Precise Plan application.
Precise Plan Contents
Subject to the provisions of the Agreement and this Exhibit "A" the Precise Plan shall
include the requirements of Section 25.73.011 of the Zoning Ordinance.

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.
Therefore, City expressly agrees that Developer shall be entitled

occupancy certificates and other land use and development
entitlements for its use at any time provided that such application
is made in accordance with the Development Plan and this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this
Agreement or the Existing Land Use Ordinances, Developer shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to obtain from the City, all

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

and to grant the City and the residents of the City certain
benefits which they otherwise would not receive.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the City and its

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
Plan and the. Existing Land Use Ordinances, and the timing
provisions of Section 3.2, and the City has entered into this

on Exhibit "C" to this Agreement (the "Mid -Valley Channel Area").
The easement over the Mid -Valley Channel Area shall be dedicated on

portion of the Project. The City acknowledges that Developer,
through significant on -site retention of Project -generated storm
waters and the dedication of the right-of-way necessary for the

this area. In consideration for the dedication of Mid -Valley
Channel Area as described herein, Developer shall receive a credit

DE096717 4/16/97 -13 -
ORDINANCE NO. 838

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 10% (such 10%-
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

ORDINANCE NO. 838 --
DEVELOPMM AGREEKENT
have made their determination, appoint in writing a third appraiser
and give written notice of such appointment to each of the City and
the Developer. If in the event the two appraisers shall fail to
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 (i) 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 Expenses. 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.

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
be reasonably required for the installation and maintenance of such

DEVELOPMENT PLAN - WONDER PALMS COMMERCIAL CENTER
PURPOSE OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The purpose of adopting a Development Plan for the subject project is as follows:
To provide the City and the Developer(s) of the Project Area with a process and
standards consistent with the City's General Plan and act to implement the City's
goals and objectives.
To provide precise and supplemental criteria for the uses, design, circulation, and
development of the overall property which has been broken down into a series of
Planning Areas which may take on individual characteristics resulting in an
aesthetically consistent, environmentally harmonious, and economically viable
addition to the community.
► To provide for flexibility in land use options which may be altered in order to respond
to future changes in the vicinity including but not limited to the development of a
major university on adjacent property, and the changing character of traffic patterns
due to improved access to Interstate 10 and to land north of Palm Desert.
► To insure that development occurs in an orderly fashion through long-range
planning.
► To facilitate processing applications for industrial, commercial and residential
development that is consistent with the guidelines set forth in this development plan
establishing an overall land use plan, a statement of intent, processing requirements
and threshold environmental analysis and mitigation measures.
► To provide for the development of the overall project area in a manner which is
consistent with the terms and provisions of this Development Agreement, the
Development Plan and the City's Land Use Ordinances.
PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Overview
The Wonder Palms Commercial Center (Project) affords the opportunity to establish a high
quality entry overall statement for an important portal to the City at the same time creating
a major economic development which can be planned to complement existing commercial,
industrial, and residential development elsewhere in the City and the surrounding area.
Master planning this area will ensure the flexibility which will be necessary as the
ORDIRAPCE NO. 838
surrounding area develops. The site is poised to provide one of the City's major points of
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.
Planning Areas/Statistical Summary

ORDINANCE No. 838 "
Design Guidelines
Purpose
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or this Exhibit "A", the development of
each Planning Area within the Project shall be governed by the existing Land Use and
Building Ordinances of the City. The following guidelines are intended to be supplemental
to those established -by the City in its Ordinances and to the extent that they are
inconsistent or in conflict with the guidelines and Ordinances established by the City, these
guidelines shall be deemed controlling. Subject to the foregoing, all development plans
for each Planning Area shall comply with the following guidelines.
Site Planning and Circulation
Access to the various Planning Areas shall be limited as depicted in Figure 5 unless
otherwise approved by the Planning Commission. The intent is to limit access to maximize
the efficiency of the public street network in and around the Project Area. Shared access,
shared parking, shared internal vehicular circulation, and an interconnected non -motorized
internal circulation system shall be considered with the site plan for each Planning Area.
Where shared circulation, parking, and access are planned, reciprocal easements shall be
provided at the time the final map is approved for the planning area or at the time of
building permits.
Architecture
The architectural style of the Project will be predominantly of a custom, contemporary
desert influence. This can include a variety of derivative "traditional" styles such as
Mexican, Southwest, Mission Spanish, as well as more distinctly modern desert
expressions as found in Palm Desert and elsewhere throughout the Southwest. The
collective characteristics found in this architecture will be solar control (eaves, shade
structures, recessed windows and doors, reflective surfaces), mass (thick walls, columns),
enriched materials (stone, masonry, glass block), complex building forms (courtyards,
"stepping" - both vertical and horizontal, clustering) and details (art, water elements,
lighting, signage). Articulated eave detailing is encouraged on all structures.
The design objective is to reward the observer with a unique, environmentally responsive
"village" of buildings which work to provide an enriching experience to both those working
within as well as the users of the complex. Screening of mechanical equipment, loading
docks, trash areas and the like from all vantage points shall be designed as an extension
of the architectural and landscape solutions.
Discouraged architectural elements include franchise design, stagefront (one sided)
solutions, massive, uninterrupted planes of stucco or similar materials, and unrelated,
12
ORDINANCE NO. 838
floating, Post -Modern elements applied to building elevations.
Height Limits
The maximum height of buildings shall be governed by the provisions of the equivalent
zoning classification.
Landscape
The landscape solutions will be water efficient, colorful and emphasize shade. Large
expanses of turf will be discouraged except where multiple usage can be achieved. Water
elements shall be judiciously used to accentuate entries or transition areas. Such
elements shall tend toward"oasis" rather than 'lake." Streetscapes shall be developed for
each of the public streets and should include landscape materials suited for such
applications. Colorful desert shrubs and shade trees shall be encouraged. Irrigation
systems shall be selected that limit water wasting. Landscape grading shall be designed
to contain irrigation within planting areas. Stormwater retention/detention areas (100 year
events) shall be integrated into the overall site plan.
Landscape Maintenance
Landscape maintenance shall be undertaken on a uniform basis within each planning area.
A landscape maintenance handbook shall be approved as part of the detailed landscape
development plans for each planning area. Landscape elements which are common to
more than one planning area shall have consistent maintenance provisions.
Parking Areas
Parking areas shall be efficiently designed to minimize area devoted to asphalt. As much
as possible, large parking area shall be separated into smaller appearing facilities by
means such as landscape buffers, grade breaks, and pedestrian corridors in order to
visually limit the parking "hardscape." Trees used in parking areas shall be selected to
maximize the development of shade while maintaining visual access to the architectural
graphics of the complex. The pattern and selection of trees shall also integrate with the
pattern of lighting fixtures to insure efficient illumination while limiting light pollution to the
degree possible. Parking layouts shall be pedestrian friendly to facilitate pedestrian and
non -motorized transportation movements. Stormwater retention/detention areas may
include perimeter parking and maneuvering areas.
The business developments catering to freeway travelers shall accommodate parking for
vehicles pulling trailers, boats, vehicles and the like.

The Project lies adjacent to the long -planned Mid -Valley Channel. Each site will be
required to retain the water of a 100 year event on site unless a community facility is
constructed. Areas used for retention/detention shall be integrated into the overall site
design but may be designed and shared by multiple sites. Retention/detention areas may
include perimeter parking and maneuvering areas.
Right-of-way easements for the Mid -Valley Channel shall be dedicated with the first
development permit and the land value of the dedication shall be credited against any
area -wide drainage fees. Construction shall be implemented by the Coachella Valley
Water District, the City, and/or the Redevelopment Agency. Interim flood protection may
be proposed to protect properties pending implementation of permanent facilities.
Mass grading of all or a portion of the Project may be necessary and may occur upon
approval of the grading plan and a dust control plan.
Graphics
Architectural graphics shall be considered as an integral part of the initial complex layout
and individual building design. Due to the relationship with Interstate 10, Planning Areas
1, 2, 4. and 6 may orient building signage toward the freeway. Individual business signage
shall not extend above the building outline. A single pylon sign up to 60 feet in height and
150 square feet in area per side (Figure 6) may be erected in Planning Areas 1 and 2
which may contain up to six business graphics. The design and location of this pylon shall
be integrated with the Precise Plan for each planning area and shall be consistent with the
FCOZ ordinance. All other freeway oriented graphics shall be consistent with the Palm
Desert Sign Ordinance.
In addition, the Developer and the City shall work with Caltrans to implement Business
Identification Signage on Interstate 10.
Plan Review Requirements
Purpose
This section is intended to establish the framework for processing future applications.
Development/Precise Plan Review
When the actual development of a Planning Area is proposed, an application for approval
of a Precise Plan shall be filed with and shall be approved by the Planning Commission
and ARB if said Precise Plan is consistent with the provisions of the Agreement and this
Exhibit "A". A Precise Plan may cover one or more Planning Areas of the Project. If a
14
ORDINANCE NO. 838
Precise Plan is proposed for an area less than a complete Planning Area, a schematic
land use plan for the entire Planning Area shall be submitted for that Planning Area. That
schematic land use Plan shall show that the partial development of the Planning Area will
not inhibit the overall development of the Planning Area. Subdivision maps, if required, can
be submitted and processed concurrently with the Precise Plan application.
Precise Plan Contents
Subject to the provisions of the Agreement and this Exhibit "A" the Precise Plan shall
include the requirements of Section 25.73.011 of the Zoning Ordinance.
