restoration of such historical property so as to retain its characteristics as a
property of historical significance.
B. The Owners possess fee title in and to that certain real property, together with

A legal description of the Historic Property is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is
incorporated herein by this reference.
C. On November 20, 2013 (the "Approval Date"), the City Council of the City of Palm
Springs ("Council") approved Resolution 23458 designating the Property a Class 1
historic site, pursuant to the terms and provisions of Chapter 8.05 of the Palm
Springs Municipal Code (the "City Code").
E. The City and the Owners desire to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of
protecting and preserving the characteristics of historical significance of the Historic
Property, in accordance with the State Law; to help preserve the Palm Springs
community's own unique civic identity and character; and to qualify the Historic
Property for an assessment of valuation pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code
Section 439.2 and any corresponding adjustment in property taxes resulting

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, the City and the Owner, in consideration of the mutual covenants
and conditions set forth herein, agree as follows:
1. Effective Date and Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective and
commence on September 7, 2016 ("Effective Date") and shall remain in effect for a
minimum term of ten (10) years thereafter. Each year upon the anniversary of the
Effective Date (`Renewal Date"), an additional one (1) year shall automatically be added
to the remaining term of the Agreement unless a notice of nonrenewal is delivered as
provided in Section 2 of this Agreement.
2. Non-Renewal and Cancellation. If either the Owner or the City desire in any year
not to renew this Agreement, the Owner or the City shall serve a written notice of
nonrenewal upon the party in advance of the Renewal Date ("Notice of Nonrenewal"). The
Notice of Nonrenewal shall be effective only if served by the Owner upon the City at least
ninety (90) days prior to the Renewal Date, or if served by the City upon the Owner, the
Notice of Nonrenewal shall be effective only if served upon the Owner at least sixty (60)
days prior to the Renewal Date. If either the City or the Owner serve a Notice of
Nonrenewal in any year, this Agreement shall remain in effect for the balance of the term
then remaining from the last Renewal Date (or from the Effective Date if no Renewal Date
has yet occurred).
3. Owner Protest of City Nonrenewal. Within fifteen (15) days of the Owner's receipt of
the Notice of Nonrenewal from the City, the Owner may file with the City a written protest

4. Maintenance Standards for the Property. During the term of this Agreement, the
Property shall be subject to the following conditions, requirements, and restrictions:
4.1 The Owner shall preserve and maintain the characteristics of the cultural
and historical significance of the Historic Property. Attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit "B", is a list of the minimum standards and conditions
for maintenance, use, protection, and preservation of the Historic Property,
which shall apply to the Historic Property. The Owner shall comply with
these minimum standards throughout the term of this Agreement. In
addition, Owner shall comply with the terms of the City Code, and shall
obtain any applicable permits necessary to protect, preserve, restore, and
rehabilitate the Historic Property so as to maintain its historical and cultural
significance.
4.2 The Owner shall, where necessary, repair, maintain, restore, and rehabilitate
the Historic Property according to the rules and regulations of the Office of
Historic Preservation of the State Department of Parks and Recreation,
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties,
the State Historical Building Code, and the City of Palm Springs. The
condition of the interior and exterior of the Historic Property on the effective
date of this Agreement is documented in photographs attached as Exhibit
"C" to this Agreement. At a minimum, Owner shall continually maintain the
exterior of the Historic Property in the same condition as documented in
Exhibit "C."
4.3 The Owner shall carry out specific restoration, repair, maintenance, and/or
rehabilitation projects on the Historic Property, as outlined in the attached
Exhibit "D" to this Agreement. All such projects shall be undertaken and
completed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preservation,
Restoration and/or Rehabilitation and the City Codes and all applicable
design guidelines.
4.4 The Owner shall not be permitted to block the view corridor with any new
structure, such as walls, fences, or shrubbery, so as to prevent the viewing
of the Historic Property from the public right-of-way.
5. Interior and Exterior Inspections. Prior to the approval, execution, and recordation
of this Agreement, and every five years thereafter, the City Manager of the City or the City
Manager's designee (the "City Manager') shall inspect the interior and exterior of the
premises to determine the Owner's compliance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.
6. Provision of Information of Compliance. The Owner shall furnish the City Manager
with any and all information requested by the City Manager, which the City Manager
deems necessary or advisable to determine eligibility of the Historic Property and
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
7. Breach of Agreement: Remedies.
7.1 If the Owner breaches any provision of this Agreement, the City Manager
may give written notice to the Owner by registered or certified mail detailing
the Owner'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 to be in breach of this
Agreement. Upon the City Manager's declaration of the Owner'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 breached any of the
conditions of the Agreement, the Owner allowed the Historic Property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified
historic property, or the Owner 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 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 if the City or the
City Manager does not enforce or cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in
equity which are not otherwise provided for in this Agreement or in City's 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.
10. Binding Effect of Agreement. The Owner hereby subjects the Historic Property to
the covenants, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. The City and the
Owner hereby declare their specific intent that the covenants, conditions, and restrictions
set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall
inure to and be binding upon the Owner's successors and assigns in title or interest to the
Historic Property. Each and every contract, deed, or other instrument herein after
executed, covering or conveying the Historic Property, or any portion thereof, shall
conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to the
covenants, reservations and restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other
instrument.
11. Covenants Run with the Land. The City and the Owner hereby declare their
understanding and intent that the burden of the covenants, reservations, and restrictions
set forth in this agreement touch and concern the land in that it restricts development of
the Historic Property. The City and the Owner hereby further declare their understanding
and intent that the benefit of such covenants, reservations and restrictions touch and
concern the land by enhancing and maintaining the cultural and historical characteristics
and significance of the Historic Property for the benefit of the public, the City, and the
Owner.
