STAFF ANALYSIS:
On March 6, 2013, the City and Developer entered into the Purchase and Sale
Agreement ("PSA") and a related Services Agreement ("SA") for the purpose of
developing and maintaining the Dolce Hotel Project, (the "Hotel"), a First Class Superior
Hotel (Four+ stars), on a 7.8 acre parcel owned by the City located at the northeast
corner of Calle Alvarado and East Amado Road (the "Property"). The PSA identified the
terms and conditions for the City's conveyance of the Property to Developer, including a
performance schedule that identified deadlines for: (1) entitlements, (2) close of escrow,
(3) start of construction, and (4) opening date of the Hotel. The PSA originally identified
the following conditions:
• Purchase Price: $2,000,000 (Purchase and Sale Agreement
• Purchase Price: $2,675,000 (Services Agreement)
• Entitlements: June 30, 2013
• Close of Escrow: December 31, 2013
• Start of Construction: December 31, 2013
• Opening Date: March 2016
Seven prior amendments to the PSA were approved by Council from March 2014
through May 2017, modifying the performance schedule to reflect the following:
• Entitlements: July 31, 2017
• Close of Escrow: August 31, 2016
• Start of Construction: December 31, 2017
• Opening Date: December 31, 2018
The SA identified the terms and conditions for the City's cooperation with Developer for
the purpose of providing for the assemblage and acquisition of certain property and to
provide funding for replacement parking within a parking structure and/or parking
facilities on the City's Convention Center Parking Lot in conjunction with developing and
maintaining the Hotel. Amendment No. 1 to the SA was approved by Council on
November 4, 2015, incorporating an obligation regarding replacement parking, generally
stating:
Developer shall pay City the amount of $2,675,000 for the unamortized parking
improvements necessary or desirable for the construction of at least 350 public parking
spaces to replace existing public parking spaces on the City Property that will be lost as
a result of the sale of the City Property to the Developer and the construction of the
.I !, 02
City Council Staff Report

Dream Hotel Project
Dolce Hotel Project'. Prior to or upon the issuance of a building permit, the Developer
shall cause the full $2,675,000 to be deposited in an escrow account designated and
approved by the City to be held by the City until such time as the funds are required to
fund all or a portion of contributions necessary for funding for replacement of public
parking. (The $2,675,000 payment is referred to herein as the "Parking Fee").
On August 3, 2016, the City Council approved the final escrow instructions for close of
escrow and conveyance of the Property, incorporating provisions from the amended
PSA and SA.
On August 26, 2016, City and Developer completed the real property transaction
consummated by the PSA, and City conveyed fee title interest in the Property to
Developer pursuant to that certain Grant Deed recorded as Document No. 2016-
0367646 (the "Grant Deed"). In accordance with the final escrow instructions a deed
restriction was imposed generally requiring the Developer to submit a parking plan of at
least 350 parking spaces, for City Council consideration of a joint public/private parking
facility to be constructed in conjunction with the Hotel; and, to the extent the City
partnered with the Developer on such a parking facility, the Parking Fee would be paid
into escrow, whereas, if the City opted not to partner with the Developer, the Parking
Fee would be paid in a lump sum upon City's issuance of a building permit.
On April 5, 2017, the City Council reviewed the Developer's plan for parking, and
determined not to participate in a joint public/private parking facility as part of the Hotel.
On June 7, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24236, approving an
amendment to Final Planned Development District 333 proposed by Developer, formally
revising the original Dolce Hotel Project to a first class new hotel project consisting of
169 hotel rooms and 34 multi-family residential condominium units, to be operated as a
"Dream Hotel" brand hotel by the Dream Hotel Group. As a matter of reference, the
Dream Hotel will include 296 on-site parking spaces, two restaurants, a screening room,
spa, green house, pocket park, four pools, and a rooftop terrace. The hotel and
condominiums will be approximately 280,413 square feet, villas are 7,820 square feet,
meeting space will be 10,035 square feet, and the garage will be 67,755 square feet.
The Project will comprise a total of 360,023 square feet total.
The Dream Hotel perspective views and site plans are shown on the next pages.
The Dolce Hotel was the originally proposed hotel group; however, on June 15, 2016, the City Council
approved Amendment No. 5 to the PSA approving the Dream Hotel Group brand as the hotel.

At this time, Developer wants to begin construction of the Hotel, and recognizes that its
plan for doing so varies from certain terms in the PSA and SA. While the Developer is
not asking for new or additional consideration from the City, an important definition as to
the "commencement of construction" and related provisions as to benchmarks and the
City's rights under the PSA and SA must be adjusted if Developer's plan for
construction is to be implemented. Developer has requested approval to construct the
Hotel in phases, with issuance of phased building permits and sequential phased
construction of the Hotel, including mobilization of resources on the Property requiring
closure of the existing surface parking facility to allow for commencement of demolition
prior to issuance of final building permits for the underground parking garage,
foundation, and "core and shell" of the Hotel.

City Council Staff Report
October 18, 2017 -- Page 10
Dream Hotel Project
The advantage of the Developer's approach is that it allows commencement of
construction when the Developer would otherwise be waiting for all the required permits
to be approved at one time. Moreover, the Developer has advised that holding back
from commencing on any work on the Property until all the various building permits
have been issued and related contracts executed is logistically challenging.
However, the PSA as amended includes the following restriction on the commencement
of construction by defining "commence construction" as:
Developer has: (1) completed all pre-construction engineering and design, (2) has
entered into binding and enforceable agreements with General Contractor and MEP and
Structural contractors (consistent with industry practice), and (3) received permits,
licenses, and entitlements from all government entities, including the City, as can
reasonably be considered necessary so that physical construction of the Hotel Project
may begin and proceed to completion without foreseeable interruption of material
duration.
Currently, the Developer is obligated to commence construction within 15 months of
close of escrow (approximately December 1 , 2017). The Developer is completing
construction drawings for the underground garage and foundation for the Hotel and
anticipates submitting to the City for building plan check review by December 1, 2017.
The Developer is also completing the construction drawings for the "core and shell" of
the Hotel, and anticipates submitting to the City for building plan check review by April
1 , 2018. The Developer has submitted the rough grading and site demolition plans to
the Engineering Services Department, with approval anticipated by November 1, 2017.
Therefore, the Developer will be in a position to mobilize on the Property and
commence with site clearing, demolition, and rough grading operations required to
excavate for the underground parking garage which serves as the foundation for the
Hotel. This work is anticipated to take 3-4 months, while concurrently the Developer is
completing the building plan check review process and obtaining building permits for the
underground parking garage/foundation, and ultimately the vertical "core and shell" of
the hotel by April 1, 2018.
Staff is in agreement with the Developer's proposal for phased building permits and
sequential construction, noting that the Developer has made the following progress with
regard to the Hotel:
• Developer has acquired the property from the City subject to the terms of the
recorded Grant Deed, and secured all entitlements necessary for the Hotel's
development.
• Developer has submitted its parking plan in compliance with the terms of the Grant
Deed through which it received fee title interest to the Property.
• Developer will complete construction drawings for the underground parking
garage/foundation with an expected submittal to the City's Building Department by
December 1, 2017.

Dream Hotel Project
• Developer will complete construction drawings for the vertical "core and shell" of the
Hotel with an expected submittal to the City's Building Department by April 1, 2018.
• Developer has refined its design and construction plans for implementation, and is
prepared to start staging the Property for construction by November 15, 2017.
• Developer has secured a written confirmation from its lender of a $20,000,000 credit
facility, and drawn down $3,400,000 of that funding to date.
• Developer has secured an extension from its lender of the date before which
Developer must submit a full budget for the Hotel by December 31, 2017, so that the
lender can evaluate and consider the additional funding that will be required to
complete the Hotel.
In addition to redefining the "commencement of construction" and making corresponding
adjustments to the Project's established benchmark schedule, Developer has requested
deferral of its payment of the Parking Fee in the amount of $2,675,000. Currently the
Parking Fee must be paid in a lump sum basis upon the issuance of a building permit.
At the time this provision was incorporated into the SA, it was the intent that the City
would immediately replace the lost public parking spaces through the Parking Fee;
however, circumstances have changed and although the City intends to utilize some, if
not all, of the Parking Fee towards the construction of off-site public parking spaces, the
immediate need for the Parking Fee is no longer present. Accordingly, Developer is
requesting that payment of the Parking Fee be deferred until such time as the City
requires the Parking Fee (or portions thereof) to pay for the City's replacement of the
existing parking facilities as contemplated by the SA, likely in coordination with
Developer's receipt of Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SLIP) funding,
discussed further below. However, a provision has been included in the amendment to
the SA that obligates Developer to pay the Parking Fee by December 31, 2018.
Staff has prepared Amendment No. 8 to the PSA, and Amendment No. 2 to the SA, to
accommodate the Developer's request, while preserving protections for the City with
regard to the Developer's timely progress with construction of the Hotel, including
preserving the City's legal ability to repurchase the Property to the extent the Developer
proceeds with construction, but later fails to complete the Hotel or otherwise abandons
the project. The following outlines the recommended changes to the PSA and SA:
A. Require Developer, prior to City's issuance of any permits for construction of the
vertical "core and shell" of the Hotel, to submit evidence to the City of the availability
of financing to complete the Hotel to the City's reasonable satisfaction; such
evidence may consist of a letter from Developer's private lender confirming approval
of a credit facility in an appropriate amount necessary to complete the Hotel,
estimated at this time to be an additional $50,000,000 beyond the credit facility
already approved;
B. Modify the definition of the "commencement of construction" as stated in
Amendment No. 8, and thereby allow the phasing of construction of the Hotel,
planned to be complete not more than twenty-six (26) months after the issuance of
City Council Staff Report
October 18, 2017-- Page 12
Dream Hotel Project
the building permits necessary to complete the Hotel, or not later than June 30,
2020;
C. Require Developer to submit its completed construction drawings and apply for a
building permit for construction of the underground parking garage/foundation on or
before December 31, 2017;
D. Require Developer to submit its completed construction drawings and apply for a
building permit for construction of the vertical "core and shell" of the Hotel on or
before April 1, 2018;
E. In the event that Developer for any reason has not completed construction of the
Hotel's underground parking garage/foundation by January 1, 2019, and therefore,
has not timely commenced with construction of the vertical "core and shell" of the
Hotel, require Developer to complete all required site civil work, landscaping, utility
work, and associated improvements as reasonably deemed necessary by City to
prepare the underground garage for public use by the City, but excluding air
conditioning systems or elevator equipment;
F. Explicitly require Developer pay prevailing wages, and to indemnify, hold harmless,
and defend the City against any claims in that regard;
G. Prohibit Developer from engaging in any demolition of the Property prior to
Developer's submittal of its completed construction drawings and application for a
building permit for construction of the underground parking garage/foundation;
H. In the event that Developer for any reason has not commenced construction of the
Hotel's underground parking garage/foundation by April 1, 2018, require Developer
to restore the Property to its pre-existing condition, including reconstruction of the
existing surface parking facility, and to grant City, at no cost to the City, the right to
maintain, operate, and use the Property as a public parking lot until such time as
Developer, or Developer's successor in interest, proceeds with construction of the
Hotel;
I. Preserving "Repurchase Option A", in the event that Developer for any reason has
not commenced construction of the Hotel's underground parking garage/foundation
by April 1, 2018, after sixty (60) days' written notice and failure to cure, the City in its
sole discretion has the right to acquire the Property from Developer for the
Developer's Purchase Price of $2,000,000 or the current fair market appraised
value, whichever is higher, less the amount the City must expend to restore the
Property to its original condition as a public parking lot;
J. Require the Developer to deliver a commitment letter from its lender that the lender
acknowledges that the Parking Fee in the amount of $2,675,000 is a part of the
Developer's approved funding, including annualized interest on the deferred
payment (at a minimum rate in accordance with LAIF or 2% maximum), with the
Parking Fee to be held and preserved in trust by the lender for the City, for use by
the City, at the City's sole discretion, in whole or part, for replacement parking or any
other public purpose. In the event Developer has not paid the full amount of the
Parking Fee, and Developer has defaulted with regard to completion of the Hotel,
and City elects to acquire the Property pursuant to either "Repurchase Option A" or
"Repurchase Option B" in accordance with Section 19 of the PSA, then the purchase
price shall be reduced by the amount of the Parking Fee owing to the City.

City Council Staff Report
October 18, 2017-- Page 13
Dream Hotel Project
K. Allow City, at City's cost, to remove all electric vehicle charging equipment, light
poles, and palm trees located on the Property;
L. Require Developer to provide City with ten (10) days' notice before commencing
demolition of the existing parking lot;
M. Require that the Hotel be at least a Four Star Hotel operated by Dream Hotel Group;
and
Developer has submitted its request for a demolition permit and believes it can begin as
early as November 2017. With plans and specifications for the garage and foundation
projected for submittal this year, construction for this component of the Project may
begin by January 2018, saving months that otherwise would have ensued prior to the
vertical core and shell plans and specifications being completed for submittal.
Developer has informed staff the anticipated opening date of the Hotel is early 2020.
The proposed Amendment No. 8 does not affect, modify or delete the existing
"Repurchase Option B" incorporated into the PSA via Amendment No. 4. This option
allows for the City to declare the Developer in default for failure to complete construction
of the Hotel by the revised performance date, which is now recommended in two
phased time frames: (1) completion of underground parking garage/foundation and
commencement of vertical "core and shell" by December 31, 2017; or (2), completion of
the Hotel by June 30, 2020. As was stipulated in this term approved by Council on
November 4, 2015, the purchase price payable by the City to Developer pursuant to
"Repurchase Option B" includes the Purchase Price paid by Developer, plus any cash
payments previously paid for development of the Property since October 1, 2013,
financed costs associated with design and entitlements, amounts financed inclusive of
all "hard" and "soft" costs related to the Property and the improvements constructed
thereon. To the extent the Developer proceeds with construction of the underground
parking garage/foundation and/or the vertical "core and shell" of the Hotel, the
repurchase price will be significantly higher than under the "Repurchase Option A"
scenario.
Parking Fee— SCIP Financing
The Developer intends to finance the Parking Fee pursuant to a SCIP Community
Facilities District ("CFD") to be imposed on the Property. SCIP is a financial tool to
provide financing for public improvements through bonds available through the
California Statewide Community Development Authority, to finance public infrastructure
projects. SCIP allows property owners in participating cities and counties to finance
development impact fees and public capital improvements costs. Thus, to the extent
the City utilizes some or all of the Parking Fee towards the cost of public improvements,
the Developer may be reimbursed through the SCIP bond proceeds for its payment of
the Parking Fee. Developer and other property owners within the project (i.e. individual
owners of the condominium units) would be assessed a special tax for the SCIP CFD
added to the property tax bill. The SCIP bond repayment tied to property tax payments
allows for lower cost, and longer term financing, replacing the Developer's requirement
I3
City Council Staff Report
October 18, 2017 -- Page 14
Dream Hotel Project
for upfront capital for payment of the Parking Fee that carries more expensive financing
than the lower-cost, long-term SCIP bond financing debt.
As outlined above, Developer requests that the SA be amended to allow for deferral of
the Parking Fee payment to the City. In order to secure the City's payment, staff is
recommending that the SA amendment include an obligation of the Developer to
provide a Commitment Letter from its lender acknowledging the City's Parking Fee is a
part of the Developer's approved funding, including annualized interest on the deferred
payment (at a minimum rate in accordance with LAIF or 2% maximum), with the Parking
Fee to be held and preserved in trust by the lender for the City, for use by the City, at
the City's sole discretion, in whole or part, for either (1) replacement parking or other
eligible SCIP financed public improvements, or (2) any other governmental purpose
ineligible for SCIP financing. To the extent the Developer has not commenced with
construction of the vertical "core and shell" of the Hotel by December 31, 2018, the
Parking Fee will become due and payable to the City.
This modification avoids any impact this payment would otherwise have on Developer's
financing through its lender. Since the Developer's lender will hold the Parking Fee until
the City requires it for replacement of public parking, the deferral delays the start of the
three (3) year limitation within which public improvements financed through SCIP must
be spent on the related public improvements, providing the City with greater flexibility in
the timing of physical construction of the replacement parking and/or other public
improvements the City chooses to construct with the payment.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
On July 18, 2007, the City Council adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) No.
2006109032 for the Project; City Council adopted an Addendum to the MND on
November 20, 2013. In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines Section 15162, the City prepared a Subsequent Initial Study / Mitigated
Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the amended project to identify whether or not any
significant environmental impacts may result from the proposed amended project.
Specifically, the Subsequent IS/MND evaluated the following environmental factors:
aesthetics, agricultural resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources,
geology and soils, greenhouse gas emission, hazards and hazardous materials,
hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise,
population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation/traffic, tribal cultural
resources, and utilities and service systems.
The Subsequent IS/MND determined that the amended project would not result in any
significant environmental impacts that could not be mitigated. Mitigation measures were
incorporated to ensure that the amended project would have a less than significant
impact on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, a Notice of Intent to adopt a
Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. The Notice of Intent (NOI)
was circulated for public review and comments. The review and comments period
0 1
City Council Staff Report
October 18, 2017-- Page 15
Dream Hotel Project
commenced on April 20, 2017, and closed on May 9, 2017. Comments were received
from reviewing agencies and other interested parties; responses to the comments were
completed.
On June 7, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24236, adopting the
Subsequent IS/MND for the amended project. No further environmental review pursuant
to CEQA is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed amendments to the PSA and SA do not affect the Purchase Price the
Developer paid to the City for acquisition of the Property; however, the amendments do
provide for deferral of the Developer's payment of the Parking Fee in the amount of
$2,675,000 that would otherwise be paid upon issuance of the first building permit. In
return for deferral of the Parking Fee payment, Developer has agreed to pay to City
accrued interest (pursuant to LAIF or 2% maximum), until such time as the City has
received full payment of the Parking Fee.
Staff has approximated the net positive economic impact ranging from $500,000 to
$700,000 annually accruing to the City as a result of development of the Hotel. A similar
net positive economic impact will accrue to the other taxing entities (i.e. Palm Springs
Unified School District, Coachella Valley Community College District, Riverside County,
etc.).

AMENDMENT NO. 8 TO
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
(DREAM HOTEL)
This Amendment No. 8 to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Amendment'), is
made and entered into this day of , 2017, by and between the
City of Palm Springs, California, a California Charter City and municipal corporation,
("City"), and Selene Palm Springs, LLC, a California limited liability company, the
successor in interest to Praetor Investments, LLC, a California limited liability company
("Developer").
RECITALS
A. City and Developer entered into that certain Purchase and Sale
Agreement dated March 6, 2013, identified as Agreement No. 6329, (the "Purchase and
Sale Agreement'), for the purpose of developing and maintaining the Dolce Hotel
Project, (the "Hotel'), a First Class Superior Hotel (Four+ stars), on a 7.8 acre parcel
owned by the City located at the northeast corner of Calle Alvarado and East Amado
Road (the "Property").
B. Delays in certain performance obligations have occurred as a result of
changes in state law and outside of the control of the Parties, causing the Parties to
agree to previous amendments to the Purchase and Sale Agreement to reflect changes
to the Hotel by designating it as a Dream Hotel branded project, changes to the
Benchmark Schedule, and changes to the Default Repurchase Conditions.
C. On August 26, 2016, City and Developer completed the real property
transaction consummated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and City conveyed fee
title interest in the Property to Developer pursuant to that certain Grant Deed recorded
as Document No. 2016-0367646 (the "Grant Deed").
D. In accordance with the final escrow instructions and Grant Deed, City and
Developer coordinated on review of a plan for the construction of 350 to 500 parking
spaces in public/private parking facilities, including the manner in which such
public/private parking facilities would be financed and maintained. On April 5, 2017, the
City Council determined not to participate in a joint public/private parking facility,
allowing Developer to finalize the development plans for the Hotel to exclude additional
public parking in excess of on-site parking otherwise required for the Hotel.
E. On June 7, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24236,
approving an amendment to Final Planned Development District 333 proposed by
Developer, formally revising the original Dolce Hotel Project to a first class new hotel
project consisting of 169 hotel rooms and 34 multi-family residential condominium units,
Amendment No. 8

to be operated as a "Dream Hotel" brand hotel by the Dream Hotel Group (the
"Project").
F. In accordance with the City's approval of the Dream Hotel on June 7,
2017, Developer has prepared demolition, rough grading, and construction drawings for
the underground parking facility and foundation of the Dream Hotel, and will submit
these construction drawings to the City for review and approval for building permit on or
before December 31, 2017, and will be prepared to commence with demolition of
existing surface improvements and grading operations on the Property on or before
December 31, 2017. Developer has also prepared construction drawings for the vertical
"core and shell" of the Dream Hotel, and will submit these construction drawings to the
City for review and approval for building permit on or before April 30, 201 B.
G. This Amendment will modify the affected performance schedule in
response to the City's recent approval of the Dream Hotel on June 7, 2017, and to allow
for issuance of phased building permits and sequential phased construction of the

Developer shall complete the Garage Improvements within ninety (90) days
following written notice thereof by City to complete the garage improvements.
Developer hereby further agrees to grant to City, at no cost to the City, the right
to maintain, operate, and use the Garage Improvements on the Property as a

interest, proceeds with construction of the Hotel Project.

Commence Construction, and has received various discretionary development
entitlements for, a First Class Hotel on the City Property on or before the date for the
Start of Construction identified in the Benchmark Schedule identified in Section 16
herein. For the purposes of this Section 19, the Parties acknowledge that the Hotel

required construction drawings and obtain the associated building permit for the
underground parking facility and core and shell foundation of the Hotel Project at the
City Property on or before the Start of Construction Date, (April 1, 2018), specified in

existing condition, including reconstruction of the existing surface parking facility.
Further, in the event of such default and City exercise of Repurchase Option A,
Developer hereby grants to City, at no cost to the City, the right to maintain, operate,
and use the Property as a public parking lot until such time as Developer, or
Developer's successor in interest, proceeds with construction of the Hotel Project. As a
condition precedent to City's issuance of a rough grading permit allowing for removal of
the existing surface parking facility, Developer agrees to restore the Property in the
event of default and City exercise of Repurchase Option A as provided herein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, City's Repurchase Option A
shall vest and come into existence only upon the occurrence of the Start of Construction
Date, (April 1, 2018), specified in Section 16 herein, and only in the event Developer
should fail to commence construction of the Hotel Project at the City Property on or
before the Start of Construction Date, and fail to cure the same within sixty (60) days
following written notice thereof by City. In the event Developer commences construction
of the Hotel Project at the City Property pursuant to the City's issued building permits for
the underground parking facility and foundation or"core and shell" on or before the Start
of Construction Date (or, if applicable, within sixty (60) days following written notice by
the City), the Repurchase Option A shall automatically terminate and be of no further
force and effect.
SECTION 6. Section 19b of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, as added by
Amendment No. 4 to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, is amended in its entirety to
read:

parking facility and foundation of the Hotel Project at the City Property on or before the

the City Property shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price by Developer to City
hereunder for the City Property shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price paid by
Developer to City hereunder for the City Property or the fair market, as determined
through an appraisal of the City Property, acceptable to both properties, whichever
amount is higher. In the event Developer fails to satisfy its obligation to restore the
property in the event of the City's exercise of its rights pursuant to the default provision
specified in Section 19a herein, within (60) days following written notice thereof by City,
the Purchase Price pursuant to Repurchase Option A shall be reduced by the amount
required to restore the Property to its pre-existing condition, including reconstruction of
the existing surface parking facility, pursuant to construction bids solicited by the City. In
the event the City timely and property exercises its Repurchase Option A, then (i) the

AMENDMENT NO.2 TO SERVICES AGREEMENT(SELENE)
This Amendment No. 2 to the Services Agreement (the "Amendment"), is made
and entered into this day of , 2017, by and between the City of
Palm Springs, California, a California Charter City and municipal corporation, ("City"),
and Selene Palm Springs, LLC, a California limited liability company, the successor in
interest to Praetor Investments, LLC, a California limited liability company, and CDI
Ventures, LLC, a California limited liability company, ("Developer").
RECITALS
A. City and Developer entered into that certain Services Agreement dated
March 6, 2013, identified as Agreement No. 6329, (the "Services Agreement"), for the
purpose of providing for the assemblage and acquisition of certain property and to
provide funding for replacement parking within a parking structure and/or parking
facilities on the City's Convention Center Parking Lot in conjunction with developing and
maintaining the Dolce Hotel Project, (the "Hotel"), a First Class Superior Hotel (Four+
stars), on a 7.8 acre parcel owned by the City located at the northeast corner of Calle
Alvarado and East Amado Road (the "City Property").
B. City and Developer also entered into that certain related Purchase and
Sale Agreement dated March 6, 2013, also identified as Agreement No. 6329, (the
"Purchase and Sale Agreement"), to accommodate the conveyance of the City Property
to Developer for purposes of constructing the Hotel.
C. Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Service Agreement approved by City
on November 4, 2015, Developer agreed to pay City the amount of $2,675,000 for the
unamortized parking improvements necessary or desirable for the construction of at
least 350 public parking spaces to replace existing public parking spaces on the City
Property that will be lost as a result of the sale of the City Property to the Developer and
the construction of the Hotel (the "Parking Fee").
D. Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Service Agreement approved by City
on November 4, 2015, City and Developer acknowledged a desire to replace the
existing public parking spaces within a public/private parking structure and related
parking facilities ("Parking Facilities") that Developer will construct and maintain in
conjunction with the Hotel.
E. Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Service Agreement approved by City
on November 4, 2015, City and Developer anticipated that the Parking Facilities would
be funded through the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program ("SCIP"), and that
prior to or upon the issuance of a building permit, Developer will deposited the Parking
Fee in an escrow account designated and approved by the City to be held by the City
until such time as the funds are required to fund all or a portion of contributions
Amendment No. 2
Services Agreement
Dream Hotel
Pagel

necessary for the SCIP and the construction of the Parking Facilities, and to be used
solely for funding replacement public parking.
F. On August 26, 2016, City and Developer completed the real property
transaction consummated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and City conveyed fee
title interest in the City Property to Developer pursuant to that certain Grant Deed
recorded as Document No. 2016-0367646 (the "Grant Deed").
G. In accordance with the final escrow instructions and the restriction noted
on the Grant Deed, City and Developer coordinated on review of a plan for the Parking
Facilities, including the manner in which such public/private Parking Facilities would be
financed and maintained. Further, the final escrow instructions and the restriction noted
on the Grant Deed modified the provisions of Section 3 of the Services Agreement
amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, and requires Developer's payment of the
Parking Fee to the City in one lump sum to the City prior to the issuance of any building
permit on the City Property, which the City may use for any city purpose.
H. On April 5, 2017, the City Council determined not to participate in a joint
public/private Parking Facility, thereby eliminating the need for the Parking Fee to be
paid into an escrow account designated and approved by the City to be held by the City
until such time as the funds are required to fund all or a portion of contributions
necessary for the SCIP and the construction of the Parking Facilities.
1. This Amendment will modify Section 3 of the Service Agreement to reflect
the City's decision not to participate in a joint public/private Parking Facility, and to allow
for payment of the Parking Fee subsequent to the City's issuance of building permits.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and promises
and covenants contained in this Amendment, the City and Developer as follows:
SECTION 1. The foregoing Recitals are true and correct, and incorporated herein by this
reference as a material inducement upon which the parties relied in their decision to
agree upon and execute this Amendment.
SECTION 2. Section 3 of the Service Agreement is amended in its entirety to read:
3. Existing Improvements and Entitlement Rights:
a. Developer shall pay City the amount of $2,675,000.00 as the cost to
replace the existing public parking spaces on the City Property that will be lost as a
result of the sale of the City Property to the Developer and the construction of the
Dream Hotel Project, or for City to use, in an exercise of City's sole and absolute
discretion, in the design, construction, maintenance or repair of any public facility or
improvement (the "Parking Fee"). The Parking Fee is otherwise due and payable upon
issuance of a building permit to Developer for construction of the Dream Hotel Project,
Amendment No. 2
Services Agreement
Dream Hotel
Page 2
26
which payment may be deferred pursuant to the conditions specified herein this Section
3.
b. City reserves the right, but not the obligation, to utilize the Parking Fee
towards the City's costs to replace the existing public parking spaces on the City
Property, and may alternatively use the Parking Fee for any other governmental
purpose in its sole discretion. To the extent City utilizes the Parking Fee towards the
City's costs to replace the existing public parking spaces on the City Property, the
Parties acknowledge that it is the Developer's intent to reimburse itself for payment of
the Parking Fee through participation in the SCIP, with all such eligible costs in the
City's use of the Parking Fee to be financed through the SCIP.
C. As a condition precedent to City's issuance of a building permit to
Developer, Developer shall deliver a commitment letter from its financial lender, in a
form acceptable to the City Attorney, acknowledging that the Parking Fee is funded and
otherwise set aside, and is available for payment to the City at any time requested by
the City in its sole discretion. Following City's issuance of a building permit for the
Dream Hotel Project, Developer hereby agrees to increase the Parking Fee by an
annualized interest equivalent to the current rate of the Local Agency Investment Fund
("LAIF") or two percent (2%), whichever is lower, until the Parking Fee is paid in full to
the City. Developer acknowledges and agrees that City shall have full discretion to call
for payment of a portion of, or the full amount of, the Parking Fee, when it so requires.
d. In accordance with the provisions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement,
as amended and executed by the Parties, Developer is obligated to commence with
construction of the Dream Hotel Project, and continue with continuous construction by
dates certain. In the event Developer does not commence with construction of the "core
and shell" of the Dream Hotel Project by December 31, 2018, as stipulated in the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, payment of the Parking Fee shall be due and payable to
City in the full amount otherwise owing, inclusive of applicable interest, less any prior
payments of portions of the Parking Fee made to City. In the event Developer does not
otherwise pay the Parking Fee to City within thirty (30) days written notice thereof, the
amount owed to the City shall constitute a lien payable to the City, and City reserves its
rights to recover the Parking Fee in accordance with applicable law.
e. In accordance with the Sections 19 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement,
as originally amended by Amendment No. 4 and approved by City on November 4,
2015, and subsequently amended in Amendment No. 8 approved concurrently herewith
(the "PSA"), the City and Developer acknowledged and agreed to various scenarios
pursuant to which the City has the right to repurchase the Property. In the event that the
City exercises either Repurchase Option A or Repurchase Option B as defined in
Section 19, and Developer has not fully paid the Parking Fee to City pursuant to this
Section 3 of the Services Agreement, the Parties agree that the Purchase Price payable
by City to Developer pursuant to either Repurchase Option A or Repurchase Option B
Amendment No. 2
Services Agreement

shall be reduced by the amount of the Parking Fee otherwise owing to the City at that
time.
SECTION 3. Except as expressly provided above, all other terms and conditions of the
Service Agreement, as amended, shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Amendment and
acknowledge October 18, 2017, as the effective date of this Amendment.
