provisions of this Agreement.
6. Provision of Information of Compliance. The Owner and the HOA shall furnish
the City Manager with any and all information requested by the City Manager, which the

7. Breach of Agreement; Remedies.
7.1 If the Owner or the HOA breaches any provision of this Agreement, the
City Manager may give written notice to the Owner and/or HOA by
registered or certified mail detailing the Owner's and/or HOA's violations. If
such violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City
Manager within thirty (30) days after the date of notice of violation, or
within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the violation
(provided the acts to cure the violation are commenced within thirty (30)
days and thereafter diligently pursued to completion), the City Manager
may, without further notice, declare The Owner and/or HOA to be in
breach of this Agreement. Upon the City Manager's declaration of the
3
Owner's and/or HOA's breach, the City Manager may pursue any remedy
available under local, state, or federal law, including those specifically
provided for in this section.
7.2 The City Council may cancel this Agreement if the City Council
determines, following a duly noticed public hearing in accordance with
California Government Code section 50286, that the Owner or HOA
breached any of the conditions of the Agreement, the Owner or HOA
allowed the Historic Property to deteriorate to the point that it no longer
meets the standards for a qualified historic property, or the Owner or HOA
failed to maintain and preserve the Historic Property in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. If this Agreement is cancelled, under this
paragraph, the Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the Office of the
Auditor for the County of Riverside as required by California Government
Code Section 50286.
7.3 As an alternative to cancellation of this Agreement for the Owner's or
HOA's breach of any condition, the City Manager may bring an action in
court necessary to enforce this Agreement including, but not limited to, an
action to enforce this Agreement by specific performance, injunction, or
receivership.
8. Destruction of Property; Eminent Domain: Cancellation. If the Historic Property is
destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood, or other natural disaster such that in the opinion of
the City Building Official more than sixty percent (60%) of the original fabric of the
structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be cancelled because the historic
value of the structure will have been destroyed. If the Historic Property is acquired in
whole or in part by eminent domain or other acquisition by any entity authorized to
exercise the power of eminent domain, and the acquisition is determined by the City
Council to frustrate the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be cancelled.
No cancellation fee pursuant to Government Code section 50286 shall be imposed if the
Agreement is cancelled pursuant to this Section.
9. Waiver. The City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner or HOA if the
City or the City Manager does not enforce or cancel this Agreement. All other remedies

regulations governing historic properties are available to the City to pursue in the event
that there is a reach of this Agreement. No waiver by the City or the City Manager of
any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other
subsequent breach thereof or default hereunder.
