Executive Summary
Pursuant to Section 33431 of the California Community Redevelopment Law, Notice of Public
Hearing for Exchange Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions between Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency and Timothy R. Palmer and Lee Anna Palmer, as Trustees of the
Timothy R. and Lee Anna Palmer Revocable Trust dated November 25, 1996 ("Palmer") was
published. This Agreement provides for a 16,057 square foot portion of the real property
identified as APN 627-071-023, and located at 44-845 San Clemente Circle, which is now
owned by the Agency, to be exchanged for real property identified as APN 627-074-006, located
at 44-900 E. San Clemente Circle, which is now owned by Palmer.
The Agency Board has authorized design and engineering to widen and improve Alessandro
Alley. To fully implement the project, the City needs to acquire 27 feet from the residential
properties bordering the alley.
Timothy R. and Lee Anna Palmer Trust owns the improved property located at 44-900 E. San
Clemente Circle, APN 627-074-006, which is adjacent to Alessandro Alley. The subject property
is approximately 7,823 square feet with a 1,446 square foot residence. Palmer's property is
zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential) with a nonconforming window tinting business. Staff has
negotiated with the Palmers over the last three years. The Exchange Agreement provides
consideration for acquisition of Palmer's property, including relocation costs, for $302,500 and
for disposition of Agency's property for $71,682.
Backaround
The proposed Alessandro Alley Improvement Project will consist of the following improvements:
• Acquisition of 27 feet from adjacent residential properties to the north.
• Widening the alley to the full 24-foot width (improved traffic circulation).
• Creating new parking spaces.
• Providing landscaping, lighting, and block wall improvements along the entire alley from
Las Palmas Avenue to Monterey Avenue.
• Closure of San Marcos Avenue between San Clemente Circle and Alessandro Alley.
The Palmer's property is located at 44-900 E. San Clemente Circle (APN 627-074-006) and is
adjacent to the proposed Alessandro Alley Improvement Project. The subject property is
approximately 7,823 square feet with a 1,446 square foot residence and attached garages. The
property is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential) with a nonconforming window tinting
business. Acquisition of the southerly 27 feet (1,865 square feet) that is needed for the
Alessandro Alley Improvement Project would result in the removal of the garages and part of the
southern portion of the house. In order to fully implement the proposed project which includes
removal of the San Marcos Avenue street improvements between San Clemente Circle and
Alessandro Alley, the deconstruction of all of the property improvements is required. The
remainder of the property may be joined with the City -owned vacant lot on the east side if a
determination is made to develop the properties for future low/moderate affordable housing.

Acquisition of the Palmer's property is important for the full implementation of the Alessandro
Alley Improvement Project as follows:
• The current nonconforming window tinting business in this location is undesirable and
creates blight.
• The existing buildings are within a few feet of the existing 20 foot right-of-way and will
create a traffic bottleneck when the balance of the alley is widened to 24 foot width.
• The residence and garages front on San Marcos Avenue preventing closure of the street
and proposed pedestrian improvements between San Clemente Circle and Alessandro
Alley.
On December 9, 2010, the City Council approved the acquisition of the subject property for
$192,500 and all inclusive residential/business relocation related benefits of $110,000 totaling
$302,500 and the Agency authorized reimbursement to the City for those costs. The Exchange
Agreement provides the acquisition by the Agency of the Palmer's property for $302,500. The
Agency's proposed purchase of Palmer's property is for a redevelopment purpose and a public
use for the Alessandro Alley Improvement Project.
The Agency -owned property at 44-845 San Clemente Circle consists of a 17,697 square foot
parcel with a 1,331 square foot residence and an attached garage. The property is zoned R-1
(Single Family Residential) and backs up to the Alessandro Alley. The southerly 27 feet (1,640
square feet) is necessary to implement the Alessandro Alley improvements.
The City Council approved the purchase of the subject property on April 24, 2009, and the
Agency Board approved reimbursement to the City and for the Housing Authority to reimburse
the Agency using Housing Set -Aside funds if it is determined that the property qualifies as
low/moderate affordable housing. It has been determined that the improvements are not
suitable for low/moderate affordable housing, and would require significant improvements to
bring the property up to current code requirements. Removal of the existing improvements
would provide a remainder vacant lot of approximately 16,057 square feet.
On August 26, 2010, the Agency Board deleted 44-845 San Clemente Circle from the award of
contract for deconstruction of properties associated with the Alessandro Alley Improvement
Project due to negotiations with Palmers for sale of the subject property. If the improvements
were to be deconstructed the remaining land value would be $71,682.
On November 18, 2010, the City Council approved conveyance of 44-845 San Clemente Circle
to the Agency. The Exchange Agreement provides for disposition of Agency property for
$71,682 which is the land value remaining if the subject property were to be deconstructed. The
Agency will also remove all lead, asbestos, mold, and trees; replace the water supply line for the
water meter to the house and all hot and cold water lines; remove the abandoned septic tank;
waive all building permit fees for renovation; and, provide a gate through the block wall along
the rear property line which is part of the Alessandro Alley Improvements.
The subject property is within the original survey area of Project Area No. 1. Notice of Public
Hearing for disposition of the subject property was noticed for April 14, 2011, and has been
continued to the present date.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Agency and Palmer agree as follows:
1. Obligations of Agency With Respect to Agency Property. The Agency, at its sole
cost and expense, shall undertake and complete the actions with respect to the Agency Property
described in Exhibit F attached hereto (collectively, the "Agency Actions").
Except as otherwise provided in Exhibit F. the Agency shall endeavor in good faith to
complete the Agency Actions prior to the Closing Date. If such Agency Actions are not

the Closing Date, and the Agency shall complete such Agency Actions as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter. Palmer hereby grants to Agency a license to access the Agency Property
after the Closing for all purposes necessary to undertake and complete the Agency Actions.
2. Exchange. Agency hereby agrees to convey the Agency Property to Palmer and,
in exchange Palmer hereby agrees to convey the Palmer Property to Agency, on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
3. Consideration.
(a) Consideration for Agency Property. As the consideration to the Agency in
return for Agency's conveyance to Palmer of the Agency Property, Palmer shall, at the Closing
(as defined below), (i) convey the Palmer Property to the Agency or its nominee, and (ii) pay to
Agency Seventy -One Thousand Six Hundred Eighty Two Dollars ($71,682.00) (the "Palmer
Cash Payment"). At Closing, the amount of the Palmer Cash Payment shall be deducted from
the amount of the Cash Payment (as hereinafter defined) to be paid to Palmer and thereby be
deemed paid by Palmer as required by Section 3(a)(ii).
(b) Consideration for the Palmer Property. As the consideration to Palmer in
return for Palmer's conveyance to Agency of the Palmer Property, Agency shall, at the Closing,
(i) convey the Agency Property to Palmer or its nominee, and (ii), subject to the deduction of the
amount of the Palmer Cash Payment described in the last sentence of Section 3(a), pay to Palmer

receipt of Palmer's notification in which to notify Palmer whether or not it elects to cure or
remove any of the disapproved exceptions identified in Palmer's notice given pursuant to Section

Agency's election to not remove any such exceptions. The Agency shall remove all exceptions it
elects to remove on or before Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agency agrees to
remove all Monetary Exceptions at or prior to Closing.
(c) Palmer's Election. If the Agency does not elect to, or is deemed to have

intended to survive such termination by the express terms hereof) shall terminate as well. Upon
such termination, each party shall promptly take any and all actions necessary to cancel
"Escrow" (as defined below) and to cause any documents or monies deposited therein to be
returned to the depositing party.

Agreement, the Agency shall not record or authorize for recording any lien or encumbrance
against the Agency Property that would extend beyond the Closing Date without the prior written
approval of Palmer.

PALMER AGENCY
(w)
Relocation Assistance.
(i) It is understood and agreed between Palmer and the Agency that
the conveyance of the Agency Property to Palmer and the payment of the Cash Payment to
Palmer, as set forth in this Agreement, represents an all inclusive settlement and is full and
complete payment of compensation for the Agency's acquisition of the Palmer Property and
includes and satisfies any and all other payments, if any, that the law may require the Agency to
pay to Palmer arising out of the Agency's acquisition of the Palmer Property, including without
limitation relocation assistance and benefits, claims for severance and other damages, attorney's
fees, interest, expenses of litigation, expert's fees, precondemnation damages, inverse
condemnation, owner participation rights under any redevelopment plan and loss of business
goodwill under the Eminent Domain Law, Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.510, and all
costs and expenses whatever in connection therewith.
(ii) It is further understood that based on the acknowledgment of the
consideration described in (i) above, Palmer covenants and agrees to take full responsibility for
moving all of its personal property, if any, from the Palmer Property.
(iii) It is further understood that neither the Agency nor the City of
Palm Desert ("City") will have any further obligation to Palmer under any federal or state
relocation laws or regulations, including without limitation, the Uniform Relocation Assistance
and Real Subject Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.), if
applicable, or under Title 1, Division 7, Chapter 1 of the Government Code of the State of
22
P6402-0201 \ 13 3 2518 v 3. doc
California (Section 7260 et seq.), or the Relocation Assistance and Real Subject Property
Acquisition Guidelines (Chapter 6 of Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations).
(iv) This Agreement is a voluntary agreement and Palmer hereby fully
releases the Agency and the City, their respective officials, counsel, employees, and agents, from
all claims and causes of action by reason of any damage which has been sustained, or may be
sustained, as a result of the Agency's or City's efforts to acquire the Palmer Property or any
preliminary steps thereto.
(v) Palmer may have sustained damages, losses, costs or expenses in
connection with the Agency's acquisition of the Palmer Property that are presently unknown and
unsuspected, and such damages, losses, costs or expense which may have been sustained, may
give rise to additional damages, loss, costs or expenses in the future. Nevertheless, Palmer
hereby acknowledges that this Agreement has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that
situation, and hereby expressly waives any and all rights that Palmer may have under California
Civil Code Section 1542, or under any statute or common law or equitable principle of similar
effect. California Civil Code Section 1542 provides as follows:
"A general release does not extend to claims which the Creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the
debtor."

be occupied by anyone other than Tenant (each such act is herein referred to as a "Sublease"),
without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance, which consent may be granted or
withheld in the Landlord's sole discretion. Any Assignment or Sublease that is not in

Tenant, and no specification in this Lease of a right of Tenant's to make any Assignment or
Sublease, shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease.
The consent by Landlord to any Assignment or Sublease shall not relieve Tenant or any
successor of Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord's express written consent to any other
Assignment or Sublease.
E-5
P6402-0201\1332518v3.doc
13.4 Assumption of Obligations. Each assignee or other transferee of Tenant's
interest hereunder, other than Landlord, shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease
and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of rent, and for
the performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on

with and agree to the provisions of this Lease, and (b) that such sublease (and all further
subleases of any portion of the Premises) shall terminate upon any termination of this Lease,
regardless of whether or not such termination is voluntary, or at the option of Landlord shall
attorn to Landlord.

provide or maintain, any safety or security devices or services in the Premises or the Building.

interests, and Tenant shall obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection
against criminal acts and other losses.
15. Default.
15.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following

not been cured within three (3) days of written notice of such failure.
(b) Failure of Tenant to perform any of the provisions of this Lease to
be performed by Tenant, other than as described in Section 16.1(a), where such failure shall
continue for thirty (30) days after notice of such failure by Landlord to Tenant; provided
however, that if the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than thirty (30) days are
reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant
commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such
cure to completion.
(c) The filing by or against Tenant of any action or proceeding under
any federal or state insolvency, reorganization, bankruptcy or other debtor relief statute now or
hereafter existing, (unless in the case of such action taken against Tenant, the same is dismissed

Tenant's leasehold estate in the Premises or Tenant's assets at the Premises that is not dismissed
within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof.

that is not cured by Tenant within the grace periods specified in Section 15.1, Landlord shall
have the following rights and remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies available to

(b) The rights and remedies provided by California Civil Code Section
1951.4, including, without limitation, the right to continue the Lease in effect after Tenant's
breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due. Acts of maintenance or
preservation, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord's
initiative to protect its interest under this Lease shall not of themselves constitute a termination
of Tenant's right to possession;

all persons and property, to store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of
and for the account of Tenant, and to sell such property and apply the proceeds therefrom

by Landlord, to take possession of the Premises, and to apply any monies collected from the
Premises; and
(e) The right to specific performance of any or all of Tenant's
obligations hereunder, and to damages for delay in or failure of such performance.
15.3 Remedies Cumulative. The exercise of any remedy provided by law or
the provisions of this Lease shall not exclude any other remedies unless they are expressly
excluded by this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture
following termination of, or exercise of any remedy by Landlord with respect to, this Lease.
16. Fees and Expenses; Indemnity; Payment.
16.1 Landlord's Right to Remedy Defaults. If Tenant shall default in the
performance of any of its obligations under this Lease after notice and expiration of the
applicable cure period, Landlord may remedy such default at Tenant's expense, without thereby
waiving any other rights or remedies of Landlord with respect to such default. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to cure any failure by Tenant to perform any of its
obligations under this Lease without notice to Tenant if such failure results in an immediate
threat to life or safety of any person, or impairs the Building or its efficient operation.
16.2 Indemnity. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord, against and save Landlord harmless
from and defend Landlord through attorneys reasonably satisfactory to Landlord from and
against any and all claims, losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent incurred in connection with or arising from
(a) any default by Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the terius, covenants,
conditions or other obligations of this Lease, or the failure of any representation made by Tenant
in this Lease, (b) the use or occupancy or manner of use or occupancy of the Premises during the
Term by Tenant or any person occupying the Premises, (c) the condition of the Premises during
the Term or any occurrence or happening on the Premises between the Commencement Date and

E-7
P6402-0201 \ 1332518v3.doc
of the Term, (d) any act of Tenant or any subtenant of the Premises or any of their respective
employees or invitees while on the Premises, or (e) Landlord's inability to obtain access to any
portion of the Premises with respect to which Landlord has not been furnished a key (if locked)
or access has been otherwise restricted.
16.3 Interest on Past Due Obligations. Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, any amount due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease which is not paid within five
(5) days from the date when due shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the lesser of
the highest rate then permitted by law or a rate per annum which is equal to four percent (4%)
plus the highest rate identified by Bank of America NT&SA as its "reference rate" between the
date such amount was due and the date such payment was received. The payment of such
interest shall not alone excuse or cure any default under this Lease.
17. Access to Premises. Landlord reserves for itself and its agents, employees and
independent contractors the right to enter the Premises, subject to Tenant's reasonable
requirements for maintaining secure areas, at all reasonable times (upon reasonable telephonic
notice) to inspect the Premises, to supply any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant
hereunder, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, beneficiaries or (during
the last twelve (12) months of the Term only) tenants, to post notices of nonresponsibility, to
determine whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease, and to alter,
improve or repair the Premises or any other portion of the Building. In the event of an
emergency, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time without notice.
Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means that Landlord may deem necessary or
proper to open doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to any portion of the Premises.
Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference
with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, any right to
abatement of rent, or any other loss occasioned by Landlord's exercise of any of its rights under
this Section 18. Tenant waives all rights to consequential damages (including, without
limitation, damages for lost profits and lost opportunities) arising in connection with Landlord's
exercise of its right under this Section 17.
18. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, any payment
required to be made and any bills, statements, notices, demands, requests or other
communications given or required to be given under this Lease shall be effective only if rendered
or given in writing, sent by personal delivery or registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, or by overnight courier service or by facsimile transmission with a following copy by
first class mail, addressed (a) to Tenant at the Premises, (b) to Landlord at the address set forth in
the Basic Lease Information or (c) to such other address as either Landlord or Tenant may
designate as its new address in California for such purpose by notice given to the other in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 18. Any such bill, statement, notice, demand,
request or other communication shall be deemed to have been rendered or given on the date of
receipt or refusal to accept delivery.
19. No Waiver. No provision of this Lease may be waived, and no breach thereof
shall be waived, except by a written instrument signed by the party against which the
enforcement of the waiver is sought. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict
performance of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, no course of conduct between
E-8
P6402-0201 \ 1332518v3.doc
Landlord and Tenant, and no acceptance of the keys or to possession of the Premises before the
termination of the Term by Landlord or any employee or representative of Landlord shall
constitute a waiver of any breach or a waiver or modification of any term, covenant or condition
of this Lease. No payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than the aggregate of all rent then due
under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the first items of such rent then
accruing or becoming due, unless Landlord elects otherwise.
20. Tenant's Certificates. Tenant, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10)
days after written request, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, addressed (at
Landlord's request) to any prospective purchaser, ground or underlying lessor or mortgagee or
beneficiary of any part of the Premises, an estoppel certificate in form and substance reasonably
designated by Landlord. Tenant's failure to do so within such ten (10) day period shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that all facts set forth in Landlord's proposed certificate are true and
correct.
21. Miscellaneous.
21.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms, covenants and conditions contained
in this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and, except as otherwise
provided herein, their respective personal representatives and successors and assigns.
21.2 Severability . If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to
any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Lease, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to
which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this
Lease shall remain in effect and shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.
21.3 Applicable Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
21.4 Integration. The terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, the
Exhibits hereto) are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement with respect
to such terms as are included in this Lease and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior
or contemporaneous agreement, arrangement, understanding or negotiation (whether oral or
written).
21.5 Quiet Eniovment. Upon Tenant paying the rent and performing all of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Tenant may peacefully and quietly enjoy the Premises
during the Term as against all persons or entities claiming by or through Landlord.
21.6 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of
this Lease.
21.7 Broker's Commissions. Each party represents and warrants to the other
that it has not entered into any agreement or incurred or created any obligation which might
require the other party to pay any broker's commission, finder's fee or other commission or fee
relating to the leasing of the Premises, except for the brokers specified in the Basic Lease
Information. Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other and the other's
E-9
P6402-0201\1332518v3.doc
constituent partners and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from and
against all claims for any such commissions or fees made by anyone claiming by or through the
indemnifying party, except for the brokers named in the Basic Lease Information.
21.8 Recovery Against Landlord. Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's
interest in the Premises for the recovery as provided under applicable law of any judgment
against Landlord. Landlord, or if Landlord is a partnership, its partners whether general or
limited, or if Landlord or any constituent partner of Landlord is a corporation, its directors,
officers and shareholders, shall never be personally liable for any such judgment. In the event
that any Landlord hereunder sells or conveys its interest in the Building, all liabilities and
obligations on the part of such Landlord under this Lease accruing thereafter shall terminate and
all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner.
21.9 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, and all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.
21.10 Amendments. No amendments or modifications of this Lease or any
agreements in connection therewith shall be valid unless in writing duly executed by both
Landlord and Tenant. No amendment to this Lease shall be binding on any mortgagee or
beneficiary of Landlord (or purchaser at any foreclosure sale) unless such mortgagee or
beneficiary shall have consented thereto in writing.
21.11 Attorneys' Fees. If Landlord becomes a party to any litigation not
initiated by Tenant concerning this Lease or the Premises by reason of any act or omission of
Tenant or its authorized representatives, and not by reason of its own act or omission or any act
or omission of its authorized representatives, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in the litigation.
If either party commences an action against the other party arising out of or in
connection with this Lease, or institutes any proceeding in a bankruptcy or similar court which
has jurisdiction over the other party or any or all of its property or assets, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to have and recover from the losing party reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs. The fees recoverable, as provided above, shall include fees incurred on appeal and any
other post judgment proceeding.
21.12 Relocation Assistance. In consideration of Landlord entering into this
Lease, Tenant agrees to take full responsibility for moving its business, and any furnishings,
fixtures, equipment and personal property, from the Property and for any resulting loss of
business goodwill (the "Relocation"), and Landlord shall have no obligation to provide
assistance to Tenant in connection therewith under any federal or state relocation laws or
regulations, including, without limitation, the California Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition statutes and guidelines. In connection therewith, and to the fullest extent
permitted by law, Tenant further agrees that, effective on the termination of this Lease, Landlord
shall be, and hereby is, fully and forever released from any and all claims and liabilities, whether
direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that have arisen, or that may arise,
E-10
P6402-0201 \ I 332518v3.doc
in connection with the Relocation. By such release, Tenant expressly waives the provisions of
California Civil Code Section 1542 that provide:
"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER
FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF
KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS
OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."
and all similar provisions or rules of law. Tenant understands that, by waiving these provisions,
Tenant waives the right to make claims against Landlord for matters pertaining to the Relocation
that are presently unknown or unanticipated.
Tenant's agreement under this Section 21.12 constitutes material consideration for
Landlord's agreement to enter into this Lease. Landlord and Tenant have each initialed this
Section 21.12 to indicate their acceptance of each and every provision hereof. The provisions of
this Section 21.12 shall survive the termination of this Lease.
