Executive Summary:
Approval of the staff recommendation will sell a deteriorated single-family home on San
Marino Circle to Rancho Housing Alliance for rehabilitation and subsequent sale to a
qualifying low- or moderate -income family.
Discussion:
In November 2003, the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency acquired two residential
properties on San Marino Circle in Palma Village. One of the residences was so
deteriorated as to warrant demolition. The second property, at 74-047 San Marino
Circle, is a blighted, but salvageable, two -bedroom residence. The Agency desires to
sell the home to a non-profit developer for rehabilitation and subsequent sale to a
qualifying family of low or moderate income.
Agency staff solicited proposals from two local non-profit housing developers for the
rehabilitation of this home. The proposals, submitted by Rancho Housing Alliance and
the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition, were evaluated based upon purchase price,
repair cost, administrative services, and fees. Based on this comparison, Rancho
Housing Alliance was selected to renovate the property.
Health and Safety Code §33433 requires that before any property of the Agency is sold
or leased, the conveyance must first be approved by the governing body by resolution
at a public hearing. The purpose of the public hearing is to receive public testimony as
prescribed by law. Notice of the time and place of the public hearing was published in a
newspaper of general circulation in the community (the Desert Sun) for at least 2 weeks
prior to the hearing.
In addition, attached for your review and approval is a proposed Disposition and
Development Agreement including the Regulatory Agreement by and between Rancho
Housing Alliance, a California non-profit public benefit corporation, and the
Redevelopment Agency, which outlines the requirements on behalf of the Developer in
consideration for the conveyance of the above -referenced property.
Conditions for the conveyance are:
1. Sale of the home "as -is" to Rancho Housing Alliance for the Agency's original
purchase price of $165,000;
2. Replacement of the roof, windows, built-in appliances, fencing, and HVAC unit,
and rehabilitation of the irrigation system, garage door, and interior finishes and
cabinetry by Developer;

3. The sale of the dwelling to a lower income household;
4. Resale price controls; and
5. The Agency's option to purchase upon resale.
A comprehensive review of the proposed Disposition and Development Agreement by
an independent consultant has determined that:
1. The conveyance and redevelopment of the Site will assist in the elimination of
present blighting conditions in Project Area 1;
2. Conveyance of the property is consistent with the implementation plan adopted
pursuant to Section 33490 of the California Health and Safety Code; and
3. The consideration is not less than the fair reuse value determined at the use and
with the conditions, covenants, and development costs authorized by the
Agreement.

of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code, Section 33000 et seq. of the State of
California. The principal office of Agency is located at 73-510 Fred Waring Drive,
Palm Desert, California 92260. The term " Agency" includes any assignee or
successor to Agency's rights, powers and responsibilities under this Agreement.
2.2 Developer.
Developer is Rancho Housing Alliance, a California non-profit public
benefit corporation, having its principal office at 53-990 Enterprise Way, Suite,
Coachella, California, 92236. The term "Developer" includes any legally and
contractually permissible nominee, assignee or successor to Developer's rights,
powers and responsibilities hereunder. All of the terms, covenants, and conditions
of this Agreement shall be binding on such successors and assigns of Developer.
2.3 Prohibition Against Transfer.
2.3.1 The Developer represents that its undertakings pursuant to
this Agreement are for the purpose of rehabilitation of the Site and not for
speculation in land holding. The Developer further recognizes that, in view of
(a) the importance of the redevelopment of the Site to the
general welfare of the community;
(b) the public assistance that has been made available by
law and by the Agency for the purpose of making such
redevelopment possible; and
(c) the fact that a change in ownership or control of the
Developer or of a substantial part thereof, or any other
DDA 6
act or transaction involving or resulting in a significant
change in ownership or control of the Developer or the
degree thereof, is for practical purposes a transfer or
disposition of the property then owned by the
Developer;
the qualifications and identity of the Developer and its principals are of particular
concern to the Agency. It is because of those qualifications and identity that the
Agency has entered into this Agreement with the Developer. No voluntary or
involuntary successor in interest of Developer shall acquire any rights or powers
under this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. Except where an
Ownership Transfer is specifically permitted by this Agreement, the Developer
shall not assign all or any part of this Agreement or any interest in the Site without
the prior written approval of the Agency. Nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be
construed to prevent Developer from transferring its interest in this Agreement or
any interest in the Site to a Developer Affiliate as defined in Section 1.2.13 of this
Agreement.
2.3.2 Prior to the recordation of the Certificate of Completion,
Developer shall not, except as permitted by this Agreement, effect any change in
Control of Developer, or of one or both of the members of Developer; assign or
attempt to assign this Agreement or any rights herein; or make any total or partial
sale, transfer, or conveyance of the whole or any part of the Site or the buildings or
structures now existing or to be constructed thereon without prior written approval

Developer shall purchase the Site from Agency, for the all-inclusive purchase price
of one hundred sixty-five thousand Dollars ($165,000) (the "Purchase Price").

Site, at the use and with the covenants and conditions and development costs
authorized by this Agreement. Agency agrees to convey the Site to Developer by
Grant Deed (the "Grant Deed"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and

Subject to Section 4.4.2, Agency shall convey to Developer fee
simple merchantable title to the Site, free and clear of all recorded or unrecorded

Deed) requiring that use of the Site be consistent with the Redevelopment Plan

), including copies of all underlying documents referenced
therein (collectively, the "Title Documents"), covering all of the Site. Developer
shall review and approve or disapprove the condition of title as set forth in the Title
Documents within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement. In the event
Developer disapproves all or any element of the Title Documents, Developer shall
provide written notice of the specifically disapproved exceptions to Agency within
such thirty (30) day period. The failure to deliver such written objections shall
constitute both a waiver of Developer's right to object and shall be held to be an
irrevocable determination that Developer has approved the Title Documents in all
respects. Any exceptions not specifically objected to in writing during such period
shall be deemed approved. Upon receipt of Developer's written objections
Agency shall have fifteen (15) days to elect whether or not to use its best efforts to
remove the objected to exceptions; Agency shall transmit its election to Developer
within that period. Agency shall not be obligated in any manner to remove any or
all exceptions objected to by Developer. In the event Agency cannot or elects not
to remove the exceptions as objected to by Developer, Developer shall have ten
(10) business days from notice thereof from Agency to elect to either (i) proceed
with this Agreement and accept the condition of title which Agency can or will
accomplish or (ii) to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4.
4.3.3 Title Insurance

of this Agreement. Developer may, at its option, request an A.L.T.A. policy of title
insurance. Agency shall pay the title insurance premium attributable to a C.L.T.A.
standard form. Developer shall be solely responsible to pay any additional costs
associated with an A.L.T.A. title policy, including the costs of survey, and for all
additional or other premiums for extended coverage or other special
endorsements.
4.4 Condition of Site
4.4.1 Inspection and Survey
Prior to the conveyance of title to the Site to Developer,
representatives of Developer shall have the right of access to and entry at all
reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Site and
obtaining data and making surveys and tests necessary to carry out this
Agreement.
Entry of Developer onto the Site pursuant to this Section 4.4.1 shall
be subject to the provisions of Sections 5.11 and 5.12 (Insurance and

The Site shall be conveyed by Agency to Developer and Developer
shall accept the Site, in an "as is" physical condition, with no warranty, express or
implied, by Agency as to the condition of the soil, its geology, the presence of
known or unknown faults, its suitability for the use intended by Developer, any
structural damage, any on-or off- site soils contamination, any materials, such as
asbestos or lead based paint, or any similar matters.
It shall be the sole responsibility and obligation of Developer to
investigate and correct any adverse soil, surface or subsurface conditions,
structural or environmental conditions, on the Site. Developer's remedial actions

public agency with jurisdiction over such matter. In the event Developer in good
faith and prior to the Close of Escrow determines that the condition of the Site is
DDA 13
unacceptable, Developer shall notify Agency of its determination and the reasons
within the period set forth in the Schedule of Performance. In that event,
Developer may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4, unless Agency
elects, in its sole discretion, to remediate such conditions in a timely manner. In
such event, all times for performance shall be extended for a period of time
equivalent to the time necessary to achieve such remediation. Developer's failure
to notify Agency of its determination that the Site is unacceptable within the period
set forth in the Schedule of Performance shall constitute a waiver of its right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4.2.

Agency and Developer shall open an escrow (the "Escrow") for the
Site with Land America/Southland Title, located at 72-880 Fred Waring Drive,

Escrow Agent. No demand for return shall be recognized until ten (10) days after

demand to the other party or parties at the address of its or their principal place or
places of business. Objections, if any, shall be raised by written notice to the

and their representatives, volunteers, officers, employees and agents, harmless
from and against all liability, loss, damage, costs, or expenses (including attorneys'
fees and court costs) arising from or as a result of the death of any person or any
accident, injury, loss, and damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the
property of any person, including accidental death (including attorney fees and
costs), which may be caused by any acts or omissions of Developer or its agents,
servants, employees, or contractors under or related to this Agreement and
whether such damage shall accrue or be discovered before or after termination of
this Agreement. Provided, however, that Developer's obligation to indemnify
Agency and City pursuant to this paragraph 5.11 shall not apply to any liability,
loss, damage, costs, or expenses arising solely from the willful misconduct or
negligence of Agency or City, or their designated agents or employees.
5.12 Bodily Iniurv, Property Damage and Worker's Compensation
Insurance
5.12.1 Prior to the commencement of construction on the Site, or to
any entry upon the Site pursuant to Section 4.4.1, Developer shall furnish or shall
cause to be furnished, to Agency, duplicate originals or appropriate certificates of
Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, insuring Agency against losses, costs,
liabilities, claims, causes of action and damages for bodily injury and property
damage on the Site in the amount of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000)
combined single limit coverage, naming Agency as an additional insured. Such
insurance shall include Blanket Contractual Liability coverage and builder's risk
coverage. All such policies shall be written to apply to all bodily injury, property
damage, personal injury and other covered loss, however occasioned, occurring
during the policy term, shall be endorsed to add Agency and the City as additional
DDA 21
insureds, and to provide that such coverage shall be primary and that any
insurance maintained by Agency and/or the City shall be excess insurance only.
Such coverage shall be endorsed to waive the insurer's rights of subrogation
against Agency and the City. Developer shall also furnish or cause to be furnished
to Agency evidence satisfactory to Agency that any contractor with whom it has
contracted for the completion of the improvements carries workers compensation
insurance as required by law, and an employer's liability insurance endorsement
with customary limits, and shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation clause
for Agency and the City.
5.12.2 All insurance policies required by this Section shall be
nonassessable and shall contain language to the effect that (a) the policies are
primary and noncontributing with any insurance that may be carried by Agency or
City, (b) the policies cannot be canceled or materially changed except after thirty
(30) days written notice by the insurer to Agency, and (c) neither Agency nor City
shall be liable for any premiums or assessments. All such insurance shall have
deductibility limits reasonably satisfactory to Agency and shall contain cross
liability endorsements.
5.13 Non-discrimination During Construction
Developer for itself and its successors and assigns agrees that in the
construction of the improvements on the Site provided for in this Agreement:
(1) Developer will not discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, creed, national origin,
ancestry, age, marital status, sex or sexual orientation. Developer will take
reasonable action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are
treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, creed,
national origin, ancestry, physical handicap, medical condition, age, marital status,
sex or sexual orientation. Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the
following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or
recruitment advertising, layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of
compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. Developer
agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for
employment, notices setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(2) Developer will, in all solicitations or advertisements for
employees placed by or on behalf of Developer, state that all qualified applicants
will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion,
creed, national origin, ancestry, disability, age, marital status, sex or sexual
orientation.
(3) Developer will cause the foregoing provisions to be inserted in
all contracts for any work covered by this Agreement so that such provisions will
be binding upon each contractor and subcontractor, provided that the foregoing
provisions shall not apply to contracts or subcontracts for standard commercial
supplies or raw materials. Developer shall allow representatives of Agency access
DDA 22
to its employment records related to this Agreement during regular business hours
to verify compliance with these provisions when so requested by Agency.
5.14 Taxes, Assessments, Encumbrances and Liens
Developer shall pay, prior to delinquency, all real estate taxes and
assessments assessed and levied on the Site subsequent to Developer's
acquisition of fee title thereto.
5.15 Security Financing, Rights of Holders
5.15.1 No Encumbrances Except as Mortgages, Deeds of Trust,
Sales and Lease-backs or Other Financing for Development
Notwithstanding Section 2.3, mortgages, deeds of trust, sales and
lease-backs or any other form of conveyance required for any reasonable method
of financing by Developer are permitted before issuance of a Certificate of
Completion (including the granting of a security interest in Developer's rights in
this Agreement), but only for the purpose of securing funds to be used for
financing the acquisition or rehabilitation of the Site and/or any take-out financing
related thereto and any other expenditures necessary or appropriate to develop
the Site under this Agreement, including without limitation real and personal
property taxes, related off-site improvements, insurance premiums, closing costs,
attorneys' fees, loan carrying costs and costs of financing. Developer shall notify
Agency in advance of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other form of conveyance for
financing if Developer proposes to enter into the same before issuance of a
Certificate of Completion for the construction of the improvements on the Site or
portion of the Site to be subject to such financing arrangement. Developer shall
not enter into any such conveyance for financing without the prior written approval
of Agency which approval Agency agrees to give if any such conveyance is to an
"Institutional Lender" and which must in any event be acted upon by Agency
within ten (10) days of Agency receiving evidence of the financing. "Institutional
Lender" means a California chartered bank; a bank created and operating under
and pursuant to the laws of the United States of America; an "incorporated
admitted insurer" (as that term is used in Section 1100.1 of the California
Insurance Code); a 'foreign (other state) bank" (as that term is defined in Section
1700(1) of the California Financial Code); a federal savings and loan association
(Cal. Fin. Code Section 8600); a commercial finance lender (within the meaning of
Sections 2600 et seq. of the California Financial Code); a "foreign (other nation)
bank" provided it is licensed to maintain an office in California, is licensed or
otherwise authorized by another state to maintain an Agency or branch office in
that state, or maintains a federal Agency or federal branch in any state (Section
1716 of the California Financial Code); a bank holding company or a subsidiary of
a bank holding company which is not a bank (Section 3707 of the California
Financial Code); a trust company, savings and loan association, insurance
company, investment banker; college or university; pension or retirement fund or
system, either governmental or private, or any pension or retirement fund or
system of which any of the foregoing shall be trustee, provided the same be
DDA 23
organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof; and/or a
Real Estate Investment Trust, as defined in Section 856 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, provided such Trust is listed on either the American
Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange. In any event, Developer shall
promptly notify Agency of any mortgage, deed of trust, sale, lease-back or other
financing conveyance, encumbrance or lien that has been created or attached
thereto prior to issuance of a Certificate of Completion of the construction of the
improvements on the Site or portion of the Site to be subject to such financing
arrangement, whether by voluntary act of Developer or otherwise. The words
"mortgage" and "deed of trust" as used herein include all other appropriate modes
of financing real estate acquisition, construction of land development, and any
other expenditure necessary or appropriate to develop the Site under this
Agreement, which involves the granting of a security interest.
5.15.2 Holder Not Obligated to Construct Improvements
A Holder shall in no way be obligated by the provisions of this
Agreement to construct or complete the improvements or to guarantee such
construction or completion. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
construe, permit or authorize any Holder to devote the Site to any uses, or to
construct any improvements thereon, other than those uses or improvements
provided for or authorized by this Agreement.
5.15.3 Notice of Default to Mortgage, Deed of Trust or Other Security
Interest Holders; Right to Cure
Whenever Agency shall deliver any notice or demand to Developer
regarding any Breach or default by Developer in completion of construction of the
improvements, or any other alleged default, Agency shall at the same time deliver
to each Holder of record authorized by this Agreement a copy of such notice or
demand.
Each such Holder shall (insofar as the rights of Agency are
concerned) have the right at its option, within sixty (60) days after the expiration of
any and all cure periods available to Developer, to cure or remedy such default
and to add the cost thereof to the security interest debt and the lien on its security
interest or to the obligations of Developer under any sale lease-back or of the
grantor under any other conveyance for financing. If such default shall be a
default which can only be remedied or cured by such Holder upon obtaining
possession of the Site and such Holder seeks to obtain possession with diligence
through a receiver or otherwise, such Holder shall have until sixty (60) days after
obtaining possession to cure such default. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in the case of a default which cannot with diligence be
remedied or cured, or the remedy or cure of which cannot be commenced, within
sixty (60) days, such Holder shall have such additional time as reasonably
necessary to remedy or cure such default with diligence; provided, further, such
Holder shall not be required to remedy or cure any non-curable default of
Developer.
DDA 24
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or
authorize such Holder to undertake the construction of the improvements (beyond
the extent necessary to conserve or protect the improvements or construction
already made, including, without limitation, the ability to continue the construction
or completion of improvements already begun) without first having expressly
assumed the obligations of Developer for the portion of the Site in which the
Holder has an interest, by written agreement reasonably satisfactory to Agency.
The Holder in that event shall only be liable or bound by Developer's obligations
hereunder for such period as the Holder was in possession of the portion of the
Site in which the Holder has an interest and, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, shall only be liable to the extent of its
interest in the portion of the Site and the improvements owned by it thereon. The
Holder in that event must agree to complete, in the manner provided in this
Agreement, the improvements to which the lien or title of such Holder relates. Any
such Holder properly completing such improvements shall be entitled, upon written
request made to Agency, to a Certificate of Completion from Agency for such
improvements.
Breach of any of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, or
reservations contained in this Agreement shall not defeat or render invalid the lien
of any mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith and for value as to the Site or
any portion of the Site or interest therein, whether or not the mortgage or deed of
trust is subordinated to this Agreement. Unless otherwise herein provided, the
terms, conditions, covenants, restrictions and reservations of this Agreement shall
be binding and effective against the Holder and any owner of the Site, or any
portion of the Site, whose title thereto is acquired by foreclosure, trustee's sale, or
otherwise.
No purported rule, regulation, modification, amendment and/or
termination of this Agreement affecting the rights of a Holder shall be binding upon
any Holder holding a mortgage or deed of trust from and after the date of
recordation of such mortgage or deed of trust unless and until the written consent
of such Holder is obtained.
5.15.4 Failure of Holder to Complete Improvements
If in any case, within sixty (60) days after all cure periods have
expired after default by Developer in completion of construction of improvements
on the Site under this Agreement, and the notice required by Section 8.1 was
properly given, and a Holder has not exercised the option afforded in Section
5.15.3 hereof to construct, Agency may, upon thirty (30) days' written notice,
either: (i) purchase the mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest by
payment to the Holder of the amount of the unpaid debt plus accrued but unpaid
interest and other advances and amounts secured by the security interest, or in
the case of a lessor or grantee by payment to such lessor or grantee of the
purchase price paid for its interest in the Site and the improvements and any
unpaid rent and other charges and sums payable to it under its applicable
agreements with its lessee or grantor; (ii) assume such mortgage, deed of trust or
DDA 25
other security interest in accordance with the terms of such mortgage, deed of
trust or other security interest upon the prior written consent of such Holder, (iii)
repurchase the Site as set forth in the Regulatory Agreement, or (iv) terminate this
Agreement by notice to Developer.
5.15.5 Right of Agency to Cure Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Other
Security Interest, Lease-back or Other Conveyance for Financing Default
In the event an uncured default or Breach by Developer of a
mortgage, deed of trust, other security instrument or obligations to the grantee
under any conveyance for financing for the Site or the Development prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Completion (unless Developer is contesting such
default in good faith), and the Holder has not exercised its option to complete the
development, Agency may, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, cure the
default no sooner than immediately prior to completion of any imminent
foreclosure. In such event, Agency shall be entitled to reimbursement of all direct
and actual costs and expenses incurred by Agency in curing the default which
reimbursement shall be a nonrecourse obligation of Developer. Such
reimbursement amount may be secured at Agency's option by a lien against the
Site. Any such lien shall be subordinate and subject to existing mortgages, deeds
of trust or other security instruments and grantees under other conveyances for
financing permitted pursuant to this Agreement.
5.16 Certificate of Completion
Promptly after completion of the construction and improvements
comprising the Development, or any portion thereof, Agency shall furnish
Developer with a Certificate of Completion upon written request by Developer. The
Certificate of Completion shall be and shall constitute a conclusive determination
of satisfactory completion of the construction required by this Agreement for the
Development or portion of the Development for which the Certificate is issued.
Agency shall not unreasonably withhold any such Certificate of Completion. The
Certificates of Completion shall be in such form as to permit it to be recorded in
the Recorder's Office of Riverside County.
If Agency refuses or fails to furnish a Certificate of Completion within
ten (10) days after receipt by Agency of written request from Developer, Agency
shall, within such period of ten (10) days, provide Developer with a written
statement of the reasons why Agency refuses or fails to furnish such Certificate of
Completion and Agency's opinion of the action Developer must take to obtain such
Certificate of Completion.
Such Certificate of Completion shall not constitute evidence of
compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of Developer to any Holder, or
any insurer of a mortgage securing money loaned to finance the improvements, or
any part thereof. Such Certificate of Completion is not a notice of completion as
referred to in the California Civil Code Section 3093.
DDA 26
ARTICLE 6 REHABILITATION OF THE SITE
6.1 Uses
6.1.1 Developer shall rehabilitate the Site as a single family home
for sale at an Affordable Housing Cost to an eligible family in the Agency's Low
and Moderate Income Housing Program (the "Program"), as more specifically
described in the Scope of Development. Developer covenants and agrees for
itself and its successors and assigns, and every successor in interest to the Site,
or any portion thereof, that during construction and thereafter, Developer and such
successors and assigns shall use the Site exclusively for the purposes herein
stated and shall not devote the Site to any uses which are inconsistent with this
Agreement and applicable City land use entitlements.
6.1.2 After the issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Site,
Developer shall not make or permit to be made any substantial structural additions
or modifications to the exterior of any of the improvements required to be
constructed on the Site pursuant to this Agreement, or permit a use other than as
set forth herein, without the prior written consent of Agency.
6.2 Use and Operation Covenants. For a period of not less than forty-
five (45) years from the date a Certificate of Occupancy is granted for the
Improvements, the Developer hereby covenants and agrees to use and operate
the Site to conform to the Redevelopment Plan and the Municipal Code and the
affordability covenants in this Agreement and in the Regulatory Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit F, which shall be recorded by the Agency in the office
of the Riverside County Recorder and shall run with the land and shall be
enforceable against the original owner and successors in interest, by the Agency.

to a "Lower or Moderate Income Household" (as those terms are herein defined)
and in accordance with this Section 6.3.
6.3.2 Selection of Buyer. The Agency shall identify eligible buyers
from the Agency's waiting list for the Program. Developer shall select the buyer
for the Site (the "Buyer") from that list, and provide technical assistance to the
Buyer to package necessary financing and provide education to the Buyer about
the Regulatory Agreement and other Program requirements. If Developer cannot
find a Buyer from the list then, or cannot negotiate a purchase and sale contract
with its preferred Buyer with the approval from the Agency, the Developer may
consider eligible buyers from an established list of Developer.

6.3.5 Agency Buyer Assistance. The Agency shall provide financial
assistance to the Buyer in the purchase of the Site from Developer as part of its
First Time Home Buyer Program pursuant to that program's requirements. Such
assistance shall be sufficient to lower the sales price to the Affordable Housing
Cost for the Buyer's household size.
6.4 Maintenance of the Site.
From and after Developer's acquisition of title, Developer covenants
that Developer shall reasonably maintain the improvements on the Site and shall
keep the Site free from any accumulation of debris or waste materials. Further,

Regulatory Agreement attached as Exhibit F.

itself, or any person claiming under or through it, establish or permit any such
practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the
selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants,
subleases or vendees of the Site. The foregoing covenants shall run with the land
and shall remain in effect for the periods specified in the Grant Deed for such the
Site and any land subdivided therefrom.

7.1.1 Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Section 8.3, and
to the provisions of paragraph 3 of this Section 7.1, failure or delay by either party
to perform any term or provision of this Agreement constitutes a default under this
Agreement. The party who so fails or delays must immediately commence to
cure, correct, or remedy such failure or delay and shall complete such cure,
correction or remedy with reasonable diligence and during any period of curing
shall not be in default.
7.1.2 The nondefaulting party shall give written notice of default to
the party in default, specifying the default complained of by the injured party.
Delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default nor shall it
change the time of default.
7.1.3 Neither party may exercise any rights or remedies upon a
default by the other party, unless and until such default continues for a period of
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the non-defaulting party. Provided,
however, that if the nature of the default is such that more than thirty (30) days are
DDA 29
reasonably required for its cure, then the defaulting party shall not be deemed to
be in default if it has commenced a cure within the 30-day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion within ninety (90) days after receipt
of written notice thereof.
7.2 Institution of Legal Actions
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may institute legal action to

which failure constitutes an event of default under this Agreement; or
(c) Any condition precedent to Developer's obligation to
purchase the Site has not been satisfied as and at the times provided in this

7.8 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative
Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, the rights

any event of default, to obtain specific performance, to recover damages, or to
obtain any other remedy consistent with the purpose of this Agreement.
7.9 Inaction Not a Waiver of Default
Any failures or delays by any party in asserting any of its rights and

Developer or its successors, or on any obligations under the terms of this
Agreement.
8.3 Enforced Delay; Extension of Times of Performance
In addition to specific provisions of the Agreement, performance by
any party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in default, where delays or defaults
are due to acts of God, or the elements, accident, casualty, unavailability or delays
in delivery of any product, labor, fuel, service or materials, failure or breakdown of
equipment, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances, acts of the public enemy,
orders or inaction of any kind from the government of the United States, the State

obligations, performance or rights under this Agreement), war, insurrections, riots,
epidemics, landslides, lightning, droughts, floods, fires, earthquakes, arrests, civil

party claiming such inability or disability, which such party could not have avoided
by exercising due diligence and care and regarding which such party shall use all
reasonable efforts that are practically available to it in order to correct such
condition.
However, no party hereto shall be entitled to any extension of time pursuant
to this Section 8.3 due to any event or condition caused by a party's inherent
financial condition or financial inability to pay its monetary obligations when due
(as distinguished from a party's inability to make a payment by reason of a bank's
failure or some other external cause not associated with such party's financial
condition).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an extension of
time for any such cause shall be for the period of time reasonable in light of the
enforced delay. The extension of time shall commence to run from the time of the
commencement of the cause, so long as the party claiming the extension has
notified the other party in writing of the nature of the matter constituting the
enforced delay within ten (10) days after the occurrence of the enforced delay.

DDA 43
any activity on the Site that would violate the Redevelopment Plan, any Plans
approved for any portion of the Site, or any applicable Governmental Restrictions.
Grantee further covenants and guarantees to Grantor that the Site shall be used
solely as affordable housing for a low or moderate income household for the forty-
five (45) years following Grantor's issuance of the Certificate of Completion, or in
the event such housing is destroyed for reasons beyond the reasonable control of
Grantee, then for another affordable housing development in the sole discretion of
Grantor.
Grantor and Grantee agree that this use covenant on the part of the
Grantee is necessary to carry out the purposes of the Redevelopment Plan and

with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants,
lessees, subtenants, sublessees, or vendees of the land."
f. Grantee hereby grants to the Grantor an option to
purchase the Site as follows:
(i) If Developer defaults on the DDA, at any time prior to
issuance of a Certificate of Completion pursuant to Section 5.16 of the DDA, and
such default is not cured within the time periods set forth in the DDA, then the
Grantor may elect to exercise the option described herein. This option to
purchase shall be exercised, if at all, by the Agency's delivery of written notice of
its election to exercise the option to Developer within one (1) year after expiration
of the last of the cure periods granted to Developer at: 53-990 Enterprise Way,
Suite 1, Coachella, CA 92236, or to such other address as is provided by
Developer to the Agency in writing for the purpose of delivering notices. The
purchase price under the option to purchase shall be the cost of paying off all
mortgage or other debt on the Site.
(ii) Agency shall deliver the purchase price of the
mortgage or other debt as described in this Section to the Holder, concurrently
DDA 55
with delivery of title to the Agency. The Agency shall receive a policy of title
insurance subject only to exceptions that: (i) existed at the time of Developer's
acquisition of the Site, or (ii) were created with the written consent of the Agency
or approved in writing by the Agency.
(iii) Upon the issuance of the Certificate of Completion for
all the Improvements to be constructed on the Site, the Agency shall execute a
memorandum terminating this option to purchase.
g. In amplification and not in restriction of the provisions set
forth herein above, it is intended and agreed that Agency shall be deemed a
beneficiary of the covenants and agreements provided herein above both for and
in its own right and also for the purposes of protecting the interests of the
community and the Project Area. All covenants without regard to technical
classification or designation shall be binding for the benefit of Agency, and such
covenants shall run in favor of Agency for the entire period during which such
covenants shall be in force and effect, without regard to whether Agency is or
remains an owner of any land or interest therein to which such covenants relate.
Agency shall have the right, in the event of any breach of any such covenant or
agreement, after delivery of notice and expiration of the cure period discussed in
the DDA, to exercise all the rights and remedies, and to maintain any actions at
law or suits in equity or other proper proceedings to enforce the curing of such
breach of covenant or agreement.
h. No violation or breach of the covenants, conditions,
restrictions, provisions or limitations contained in this Agreement shall defeat or
render invalid or in any way impair the lien or charge of any mortgage or deed of
trust or security interest permitted by the DDA, provided, however, that any
subsequent owner of the Site shall be bound by such remaining covenants,
conditions, restrictions, limitations, and provisions, whether such owner's title was
acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, trustee's sale or otherwise.
i. Both before and after issuance of the Certificate of
Completion, only Agency, its successors and assigns, and Developer and the
successors and assigns of Developer to all or any part of the fee title to the Site
shall have the right to consent and agree to changes in, or to eliminate in whole or
in part, any of the covenants, easements, or other restrictions contained in this
Agreement, or to subject the Site to additional covenants, easements or other
restrictions. Agency, its successors and assigns, and Developer and the
successors and assigns of Developer to all or any part of the fee title to the Site
shall have the right to consent and agree to changes in, or to eliminate in whole or
in part, any of the covenants, easements, or restrictions contained in this
Agreement or to subject the Site to additional covenants, easements, or other
restrictions without the consent of any tenant, lessee, easement holder, licensee,
mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary under a deed of trust or any other person or entity
having any interest less than a fee in the Site.
DDA 56
j. The covenants established in this Agreement shall, without
regard to technical classification and designation, be binding on the Developer and
any successor in interest to the Site or any part thereof for the benefit and in favor
of the Agency, its successors and assigns, and the County. Except as set forth
below, the covenants contained in this Agreement shall remain in effect until
December 31, 2040, unless this Agreement provides for their earlier termination.
The covenants against discrimination (as described in Paragraphs 4 and 5) shall
remain in perpetuity.
